Although Chen Rui was already angry, the mouth that bit Xiao Qiao's foot was extremely powerful.

Lin Huben and others who came back from the shock came to their senses, rushed forward and divided his teeth, but couldn't break it apart for a while. In the end, Chunniang removed the shoe on Xiao Qiao's feet, and Xiao Qiao's feet were able to escape.

She was wearing soft shoes walking in the room. Chen Rui was so angry that she bit her toes like this. She was in pain and was extremely frightened. She was sent back to the room and fell on the bed.

Chunniang checked her feet and saw a deep red mark on the tender skin under the toes of her toes. Fortunately, she had not broken her skin yet, but she felt very distressed. A maid had already called Qingshui. Chunniang helped her cleanse her, gently applied ointment, finally put on socks, and covered her with a quilt.

Outside, Lin Huben and others had already retreated, leaving some to continue to guard. The remaining people left the Xicheng Gate overnight and gathered people to search for Longshan.

The room finally became quiet.

Chunniang accompanied Xiao Qiao for a long time, and saw that she was sleeping with her eyes closed. She was about to get up and turn off the lights, but Xiao Qiao reached out to hold her. Seeing that she was still closing her eyes, her eyelashes trembled and said softly: "Chunniang, I want you to sleep with me."

Chunniang knew that she was scared tonight and had no intention of leaving. She touched her forehead with heartache and lay down again.

The next morning, Xiao Qiao woke up and got a little fever. Chunniang was busy asking for medicine for the doctor.

Xiao Qiao waited until evening, but the searching of mountains on Lin Huben was still fruitless.

Longshan is too big, the terrain is steep and there is no direction. Just looking for someone who doesn’t know where they are hiding. It is too difficult to find it in your life, and it takes more luck.

Xiao Qiao was very anxious.

Lin Huben added manpower and transferred another group of people from the four city gates to search the mountains.

Another night passed and still no searches were found.

Xiao Qiao woke up this night.

The shadow Chen Rui brought to her was still there, and when he thought of the Qiang boy named Yuan, he felt even more depressed.

Although it is just a chance meeting, it seems to be a fate.

If you can't find it, even if you are not injured by insects and beasts, the young man himself will die of hunger and thirst.

She arranged for Jia Wei to save him, and originally thought more about it was indeed for the Beihe clan behind him.

But at this point, she didn't think about those things anymore. She just hoped to find him while he was still alive.

On the evening of the third day, the sky gradually darkened.

Just when Xiao Qiao began to feel desperate, good news suddenly came.

Jia Wei, who had rushed back in the second half of the night, learned the news at the city gate that he had not had time to go to the city to apologize to the Queen, and immediately took people to Longshan and joined the search ranks.

Just now, when he passed a very common place in the foot of Beishan Mountain, he broke back when he was passing a very common place in the local area to book a grave and ordered people to clear the weeds in front of the grave and push off the stones blocked at the grave. Sure enough, in the cave, he found a young man who had already fallen into the coma in the corner.

His mouth was blocked and his hands and feet were tightly tied. Because he had not let go for a long time, a deep purple blood mark had been struck at his bound wrists and ankles.

Yuan was sent back immediately. After feeding water, he woke up.

After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Xia Gu helped him clean and change his clothes and rubbed his hands and feet gently. After he got some liquid food, he fell asleep because he was too weak.

Xiao Qiao's own body was not good, but she was in a very good mood. I heard that Jia Wei was waiting outside to apologize to him, so he told him to come in.

Jia Wei was ashamed. When he saw Xiao Qiao, he knelt down to her and apologized. Xiao Qiao hurriedly stopped him and said, "What is General Jia's crime? Not only is he innocent, he should remember a great merit. Please get up quickly."

Jia Wei was ashamed that it was because of the fact that he had the Qiang boy running away with the more against the few that night. After discovering it, he had not turned the corner yet and continued to chase forward. It was not until he chased for more than a hundred miles. At noon the next day, he gradually felt something was wrong and hurriedly turned back to Jinyang.

How could he not feel ashamed of his dereliction of duty so much that he was shocked by the woman?

"Apart from this, the generals of the Mokong failed to capture all those groups. Although Diao Mo traveled with him, they were killed or captured, Diao Mo escaped. The generals were extremely incompetent and had a high hopes for the Queen!"

Jia Wei knelt down and couldn't get up.

Xiao Qiao let him go aside and smiled and said, "God up quickly, don't break me! There is still a misunderstanding in the hundreds of secrets, and there is a reason for the matter, how can you blame you? Instead, I want to thank you. Fortunately, I finally found the Qiang boy in time. If you delay for a night, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive. If you are in terms of credit, you are still the first. Just General Jia, why would you think of the hidden people in that tomb?"

Seeing that he was just accusing him, Xiao Qiao deliberately staggered the topic and asked.

The woman smiled and didn't have any intention of blaming herself. Jia Wei finally calmed down and said, "Ghosts and gods should stay away from each other. And that tomb is near the entrance of the foot of the mountain, and you can see it at a glance. Therefore, although Lin Huben and the others have passed by several times, they would not have thought that Chen Rui was so crazy that he stuffed people into this grave. I didn't have this idea. But when I passed by, I noticed that the green moss on the stones in the grave had broken marks, as if it had been moved, not like a newly-old grave. Moreover, the weeds in front of the grave also had traces of deliberately covering them. Then I became suspicious and thought that I should not let it go, so I opened it to see what happened. I was lucky enough to guess, just luck. I didn't dare to be the queen."

Xiao Qiao suddenly realized and admired her sincerely. She stepped forward and helped Jia Wei up. After he got up, she said, "General Jia must not blame himself anymore. I have another important thing, which I have to entrust to General Jia."

Jia Wei immediately said: "Please give me the order! I will never refuse to die!"

Xiao Qiao said: "When the boy can go on the road, please ask General Jia to escort him personally and send him back to Huangzhong as soon as possible!"

...

A few days later, under Jia Wei's escort, Yuan went to the territory of the Beihe people in Huangzhong.

In the past few days, Jia Wei touched the waterway in the backyard pool clearly, blocked it tightly, and personally led the people to thoroughly inspect all possible defense loopholes near the backyard girl's residence. Only then did he give up.

After Yuan started to return home, Xiao Qiao's illness that had fallen out of being too frightened that night gradually improved. But she was always afraid to sleep at night. Although the weather was getting hotter, the windows never dared to open again. She always bolted tightly. Chunniang also stayed with her to sleep with her.

However, in a letter she sent to Wei Shao, she did not mention Chen Ruiye's break into the yamen, nor did she say she was sick. She only told him that by coincidence, she saved the grandson of the leader of the Beihe clan, and now she has sent him on his way. If she could bring some help to Gongsun Yang's journey to recruit and comfort, she would be very glad.

...

After a long journey, Gongsun Yang finally arrived at the territory of the Beihe people in Huangzhong several days ago.

Since ancient times, this area has been lush with many birds and animals. Qiang people have reproduced and lived here, and have been born through animal husbandry and hunting, and have no fixed place to live. Later, with the increase of the population, they communicated frequently with the Han people and gradually turned to farming and settlement.

The Beihe tribes in the Huangshui area, led by the current leader of the Yuanwang tribe, have been farming and settled in this area for decades, with a large population of nearly 200,000, becoming the second largest Qiang tribe after the Shaodang tribe. Among them, half of them are young and strong, and they usually farm and grazing, and become soldiers in wartime, and they are all brave.

Three days ago, I learned that Wei Shao sent an envoy, Yuan Wang, who had been ill for several months, personally picked him up with illness and received him.

Gongsun Yang conveyed Wei Shao's kindness. He promised that he would never charge more labor taxes, nor would he force recruit troops, nor would he be able to plunder the population. He followed the three rules of ancient rules and was willing to take blood as a vow.

Although Yuan Wang personally received Gongsun Yang and was quite respectful, he had reservations about the matter of reunion and did not agree to it at once.

Gongsun Yang also knew very well that after decades of estrangement, the suppression and resistance between the two sides was intertwined, and the ice was frozen three feet long, so how could the doubts be dispelled so easily? Therefore, he was not in a hurry. After sending Wei Shao a gift to express his respect for the elder venerable, he stayed and continued to lobby patiently.

After a long talk last night and heart-to-heart talk, the old patriarch Yuan Wang was finally moved by Gongsun Yang's sincerity and said that he would allow him to think about it for another night. He would give a reply tomorrow morning.

Today, Gongsun Yang got up early and waited for a meeting with Yuan Wang.

Although Yuan Wang did not express his attitude last night, Gongsun Yang felt that he was sure of success based on his words and expressions.

He is very confident.

However, when the agreed time was reached, Yuan Wang did not appear as scheduled.

Gongsun Yang was about to go out when a accompanying him hurried in and reported, "Military advisor, it's not good! I got the news that a messenger from Shaodeng came early in the morning. I didn't know what he said to Yuan Wang, but Yuan Wang fainted. The situation was not good, and it seemed to be unfavorable to the military advisor. It would be better for the military advisor to leave here quickly!"

During the days when Gongsun Yang stayed here, he was not idle except lobbying Yuan Wang. He had already made friends with someone around Yuan Wang. The news was delivered by the man just urgently.

The two deputy generals who escorted Gongsun Yang immediately became alert and looked at Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang pondered for a while and said, "It's a disaster that cannot be avoided. Since we have arrived here, how can we achieve success and avoid it because we are afraid of disaster? I will go over and take a look and know what happened!"

After saying that, he went out and went straight to Yuan Wang's tent. He informed him. After a while, he was invited to enter. As soon as he entered, two big men came up towards him, drew their swords and forbidden him to get closer.

Gongsun Yang glanced at the opposite side.

Yuan Wang was helped to sit on the main seat of Zhang Huali's wool mattress. His sick face looked gray and tears seemed to be covered in his eyes. Next to him was a Qiang man with a face, looking at him slantedly. The remaining members of the Beihe tribe all looked at him glaring at him.

Gongsun Yang was secretly surprised, but his face remained motionless, and said, "I have been waiting for the leader's good news today, but I haven't arrived for a long time. So I came to ask."

He raised his hand and pushed away a blade pointing at his face.

"Last night I talked with the leader, and the scene was as if in front of me. But I don't know why I suddenly faced each other with a knife early this morning?" He looked at Yuan Wang.

Yuan Wang's expression was gloomy and he didn't say a word. An elder in the clan near him said angrily: "You have the face to pretend! From the first day you came, I know that you are uneasy! You Han people always say something, do something, apply honey on your mouth, and stab someone behind your back! Come on, don't talk to him too much, just kill with one knife!"

A man with a knife immediately rushed up. The two deputy generals behind Gongsun Yang were furious and pulled their swords to stand in front of Gongsun Yang, saying, "Who dares to do it? A hair injuring our military advisor is to be an enemy of my king and marquis! Those who dare to be an enemy of the king and marquis will be the first to learn from Bingzhou Chen Xiang! Are you better than Chen Xiang?"

The opposite side was silent for a moment.

Gongsun Yang looked at Yuan Wang, whose face became even grayer, and took a step forward, saying with concern: "Chief, what happened, or what did you hear people say, otherwise why did you suddenly change your mind? I also said that it was not my king and lord who feared war, but because of the stability of the border and the welfare of the people, and to repair the injustice of the Bingzhou lords to the nobles in the past, so I sent me to convey the intention of admonition. Everything was out of sincerity. I looked to the leader to be open to me, and I had something to say, so I didn't have to worry about it!"

Yuan Wang slowly stood up, waved his hand, and several men holding the knife put away the knife.

"Mr. Gongsun, my grandson, he has clearly died in the hands of you Han people! If this revenge is not avenged, how can I bear my poor grandson? Don't blame me! You Han people are all birds of a feather and have repeatedly betrayed your faith! I am a little dead, but I will never dare to hand over my family's future to your Han people! I shouldn't keep you as a guest! Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you, go! The good intentions of Yanhou, I, the Beihe tribe, dare not take it!"

Gongsun Yang was shocked, pondered for a while, and said, "I know the leader's mood at this moment should be extremely sad. He should have been mourned together. He was just afraid that the leader would be exploited by those who are interested because of his love for his grandson. I wonder if the leader can tell him who was harmed by your grandson? Is the news accurate? If there is any need for help, I am willing to do my best!"

Yuan Wang said: "You don't have to say much. The Han people are not trustworthy! I have decided! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing that things were about to succeed, I didn't want to encounter a sudden change. Gongsun Yang knew that everything should be caused by the Qiang man who came suddenly. He really didn't want to leave like this. While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the tent, and then a voice from afar shouted in: "Chief! The young master is back! The young master is back!"

Gongsun Yang turned around and saw a pretty boy wearing Han clothes surrounded by others from afar, walking quickly toward this side.

A Han man walked beside the boy. It turned out to be Jia Wei!

Gongsun Yang was extremely surprised.

He immediately guessed that this young man should be the grandson who Yuan Wang thought he had died a moment ago.

It was such a coincidence that he rushed back now, which was naturally a great thing.

But how could Jia Wei be with him?

Gongsun Yang was full of doubts and stunned. Yuan Wang was shocked, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, showing an incredible ecstasy expression. He rushed out in a few steps, hugging the young man running towards him, and burst into tears on the spot.

The Beihe people nearby were all cheering and laughing happily. Some people knelt on the ground and worshiped the gods.
