"Which child is you?"

Chunhua was so scared that she widened her watery eyes, and looked at the person in front of her so scared that she couldn't speak.

The man saw that he seemed to be frightened by Chunhua, squatted down and stroked her head and asked in a deep voice:

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Tell me why you are hiding here?"

Because of the previous incident of the head guard, Chunhua dared not easily believe the man in front of him. He squatted against the corner of the wall and retreated hard, never uttering a word. He held his knees tightly with both hands so nervous that he didn't dare to scream loudly.

"I am Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, you..."

When she heard that he claimed to be Yuan Xi, Chunhua immediately heard the name of the person Zhen Mi mentioned to the chief guard. In an instant, she stepped forward as if she had found a life-saving straw and grabbed Yuan Xi's belt and said:

"Go and save them!"

After hearing Chunhua's story, Yuan Xi's expression became serious, and immediately stood up and said to the soldiers behind him:

"Immediately notify the lord to stop the dinner immediately, and order all guards in the city to strengthen their guards and not let go of any suspicious persons."

The soldiers were ordered to scatter and left. Yuan Xi held Chunhua in his arms and said anxiously:

"Do you remember where they were locked up?"

Chunhua nodded, Yuan Xi held her alone and walked quickly towards the room locked by Zhang Ning and Zhen Mi. When he arrived at the door, he saw the iron chain locking the door handle. He put down Chunhua and asked her to take a few steps back. Then he waved his sword and slashed at the iron chain. After several slashes, the iron chain had loosened. Yuan Xi simply threw away the sword in his hand and hit the door with his shoulder. After repeated several times, he was finally knocked open.

After entering the door, Yuan Xi quickly covered his mouth and nose and rushed to the table where the incense burner was placed, and overthrew it with one kick.

Chunhua leaned in front of Zhang Ning who was already unconscious and shook her hard. Yuan Xi carried Zhen Mi out of the house without hesitation, and then carried Zhang Ning out in the open place of the courtyard, but he couldn't wake up no matter how hard healed. Yuan Xi was anxious and could only use the scoop of water in the nearby water tank to scoop water and splash it on the faces of the two of them. Soon after, the two who took a few breaths of fresh air slowly woke up.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Yuan Xi was very worried about Zhen Mi's situation and kept holding Zhen Mi's hand tightly and never sent it away. Zhen Mi realized that her hand was being held tightly by Yuan Xi, and she couldn't help feeling shy and embarrassed. Yuan Xi also discovered his recklessness and quickly let go of her hand.

"Thank you, my son, for helping me, I'm fine."

After Zhang Ning woke up, he grabbed Yuan Xi and asked anxiously: "How is the assassin's matter?"

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to tell my father."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of soldiers holding torches and guns suddenly rushed out from all over the world to surround them. Yuan Xi drew his sword and blocked the three of them behind him. After a while, someone walked out of the soldiers, and Zhen Mi and the others immediately recognized him as the commander of the guard.

"It's too late, the second young master." The guard chief said with a sinister smile: "I have dealt with the person you sent to report the news. Now your idiot father is enjoying singing, dancing, wine and meat, and can't extricate himself."

Yuan Xi took the initiative to fight at any time and sternly scolded him: "Who instructed you!"

The guard stretched out his hand and pointed the dust in his fingernails and said, "You are about to die and ask what you are doing."

After saying that, he found Zhen Mi and others who were protected by Yuan Xi, and said with fierce eyes: "I would have known that you would have solved you with one knife. Now it's going to be so troublesome. But forget it, Yuan Xi is going to die anyway, it's just a matter of time."

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers rushed forward with their swords. Yuan Xi covered the three people behind him and fought.

While protecting them behind him, he was unable to deal with it. In order to protect Zhen Mi and Yuan Xi behind him, he was stabbed by an assassin. Zhen Mi was extremely frightened when she saw this. At the critical moment, Chunhua looked at the torch that fell to the ground and grabbed Yuan Xi's clothes and said, "Twist the torch into the sky!"

Chunhua's words made Yuan Xi suddenly unconscious. He kicked away the enemy in front of him and picked up the torch on the ground and threw it into the air. The flames in the air in the dark quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding defenders.

Taking advantage of the assassin's distracted, Yuan Xi broke out a gap and asked Zhen Mi and the others to rush out to report the message:

"Go and report to my father, it will be too late if it is too late!"

Zhen Mi looked at Yuan Xi who blocked the door and blocked the enemy, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She said emotionally:

"General, you have to be careful..."

Without any scruples, Yuan Xi tried hard to block the assassins who were trying to hunt them. In addition, when the defenders in the distance saw something abnormal, they quickly ran towards the torch and surrounded the assassins after a while. Seeing this, the chief guard ordered:

"Everyone, it's time to repay your benefactor. I'd rather die than be captured!"

After hearing this, the assassins raised their weapons and tried to resist stubbornly. They started fighting in an instant, but they were not as large as the number of people, and they were quickly defeated. The few captured people were all killed, with no one living.

Zhen Mi and the others who escaped from the siege did not contact anyone again, but went straight to Yuan Shao's banquet location. The guards knew her identity and did not dare to stop them. With no obstacles in the passage, they arrived in time when the assassin was about to assassin.

When other assassins in the city learned that the plan was exposed, they all showed their true colors and began to surround the banquet gathering place, but Yuan Xi quickly mobilized troops to defeat them in one fell swoop, and Yuan Shao's assassination crisis was finally resolved.

After everyone heard the description of the matter, Zhang He immediately knelt down and apologized: "It's all the last general who protects the lord, so please punish him."

Yuan Shao looked at him, then looked at Zhen Mi and the others, got up and walked to Zhang He and reached out to help him up:

"The general does not need to blame himself. If it weren't for Ling Mei and Miss Zhen's conspiracy today, my life would be over."

Yuan Xi pulled Chunhua to him and said with a smile:

"Father, thanks to this child in the near future, you should reward her."

Yuan Shao, who was able to escape the crisis, was very happy and waved: "Reward! Reward all!"

But when Yuan Shao turned his back, he found something was wrong. He looked at Zhang He beside him with a doubt and asked:

"Hey? General Zhang, I heard that you only have one sister in your family, why is there another one?"

Zhang He told Chunhua's origin truthfully. Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, and a sudden thought arose in his heart:

"I have an idea, I don't know if you want to..."

"Please tell me clearly that I will follow it!"

"Okay..." Yuan Shao waved his sleeves and hands behind his back and approached Chunhua step by step. When he came to her, he lowered his head and smiled at her:

"I have four sons, but there is no girl. This little girl is about the same age as my youngest son Mai'er. I intend to accept her as my adopted daughter. I wonder what the general wants?"

For any minister, this was undoubtedly a supreme grace, but Zhang He looked a little embarrassed. However, due to Yuan Shao's face, he had to kneel down and thank him. Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and all the ministers stood up to congratulate him.

Chunhua looked at these and seemed to understand something, and then knelt down and thanked her: "Chunhua, thank you lord for your kindness."

"kindness?"

Yuan Shao shook his head, hugged Chunhua and gently scraped her nose and said:

"Don't call me lord, from now on, I will call me the adoptive father."

The ministers congratulated again: "Congratulations to the lord for accepting his adopted daughter."

No one noticed that Yuan Shang, who was sitting in the table at this time, had his eyes stuck on Zhang Ning's body...

After Yuan Xi returned to his residence, he realized that the wound on his right arm was still bleeding. Just as he simply treated it himself, a knock on the door came from outside.

He stepped forward and opened the door and found Zhen Mi standing in front of him.

"Miss, is there anything wrong?" Facing Zhen Mi, Yuan Xi endured the pain and forced herself to laugh, pretending to be in a state of unimpeded injury.

"I'll take a look at the general's injuries..."

Zhen Mi saw the wound on Yuan Xi's right arm, and her original worries were all reflected on her face. She quickly took out her handkerchief from her sleeve to bandage it. Yuan Xi was quite flattered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Whether it was an instinctive reaction or a moment of confusion, Yuan Xi reached out to hold Zhen Mi in his arms.

In an instant, his cheeks flushed and his heart beat faster. Zhen Mi, who was pressing against Yuan Xi's chest, did not expect him to do this. He breathed strongly and rapidly, and the two of them hugged each other and stood there.
