Lin Wei Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand and wiped the place that Li Da had touched. The person who shot was silent like an iron tower with a black hole behind him. If he hadn't just saved Lin Wei Xi, she would have been scared to death.

　　

"Thank you..." Lin Wei Xi looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She tried her best to show a gentle and harmless smile, totally different from the person from a moment ago. "What is this hero called?"

 

"Zhou Mao Cheng." The bear-like man looked at Lin Wei Xi very strangely. He endured and endured it, but he couldn't hold back, "You were calling our Wangye¹?"

　　

"Yes." Lin Wei Xi smiled gently and tried her best to show her benefactor her quiet side, "Zhou Enren², can you send me to Yan Wang? You have seen this place... I probably can’t live here anymore."

　　

Zhou Mao Cheng’s eyes on Lin Wei Xi simply couldn’t be described with words. Lin Wei Xi was caught by such look, her smile was stiff. What did it mean? She just cursed people like a shrew and left a bad impression?

　　

Zhou Mao Cheng was arranged by Yan Wang to guard Lin Yong's daughter. He felt very strange when he received this task. Why would Wangye paid attention to a little girl? Then he thought that Lin Yong and they were comrades-in-arms, iron-like brothers, and his daughter was also Zhou Mao Cheng's daughter, so it was reasonable to guard the little girl all night. Martial artist had sharp eyes and ears, and when Zhou Mao Cheng squatted outside listening to Lin Wei Xi's scolding, he felt that Lin Yong's description of his daughter was not stable, this father's beautification was too serious. But he had to say listening to this little girl cursing was pretty good.

　　

Later when Li Da became restless, Zhou Mao Cheng cursed in his heart, and immediately came to rescue Lin Wei Xi. However, he did not expect that he heard such unexpected words from Lin Wei Xi's mouth a moment later.

　　

Who did Lin Wei Xi call? Yan Wang?

　　

Zhou Mao Cheng's expression was dark like a bear, but the drama in his heart played one after another. Lin Wei Xi felt this army man glanced at her over and over, her heart couldn't help beating like a drum, did she say something wrong?

　　

In the village head's house, Gu Hui Yan was still checking the letters from the capital under the light, he couldn’t leave the things in the army and capital to others for the moment. Besides, he might not be able to catch up with the big troops as planned tomorrow. These things must be arranged properly.

　　

After an unknown period of time, the door was knocked three times. This was the rule in the army. Gu Hui Yan didn't lift his head and said, "Come in."

 

Zhou Mao Cheng entered the door, and said with a taut face: "Wangye, the daughter of Lin Yong's family wants to see you."

　　

Gu Hui Yan paused before removing the image of Lin Wei Xi hooking the bait from Lin Yong's daughter, Gu Hui Yan thought of the little girl and couldn't help but pressed his eyebrows: "What's wrong with her?"

　　

"She said that she will go with you tomorrow, and she won't return today. She wants to stay with you."

 

Zhou Mao Cheng's face was tense. But his eyes sneaking up on Gu Hui Yan's face. He watched as Wangye, who had always seems inhumane, pressed his eyebrows and sighed lightly: "I said I won't leave her... Nevermind, just let her be at ease, let her stay. Mingda, you packed my room and let Lin Wei Xi live in it. Arrange a few more people to patrol the house at night, and replace them more frequently."

　　

Gu Hui Yan stopped after speaking and then added: "You go to Lijia village head and ask for few a new bedding, add to my credit and pay them together tomorrow.” After finished speaking, Gu Hui Yan himself was a little bit unsure: “What else do I need to raise this kind of little girl? Do I have to buy dresses and eyebrow pomade too?"

　　

This question could be difficult for men. They could speak well about the troops and war, but Lin Wei Xi was a delicate little girl...

　　

Gu Hui Yan looked at the expression of people in the room and knew that he couldn't count on them. He tried to recall the layout of Yan Wang Mansion, and said: "Let the village head's wife arrange it. Now there are many things that won’t be available for a while, we will talk about it when we go to the county town tomorrow."

 

After Gu Hui Yan gave his orders, he found that Zhou Mao Cheng had been stuck in place, did not move. Gu Hui Yan moved his eyebrows lightly, and his voice neither too fast nor too slow, seemed like just an ordinary question: "What's the matter?"

 

Zhou Mao Cheng woke up like from a dream, immediately stood up straight to give Gu Hui Yan a military salute, and stepped back orderly: "This subordinate obeys."

　　

Lin Wei Xi waited outside the courtyard for a while, then she was led to a spacious room by the village head's wife. Although she felt that the eyes of the people around her were a little strange when she entered the house, she did not take it to heart. She silently lamented that the village head's family was really rich, even the room provided for her at the last minute was so spacious and warm.

　　

Lin Wei Xi said to Zhou Mao Cheng on the road that there was no need to tell Yan Wang about what happened with Li Da. Lin Wei Xi didn't care about her reputation for this kind of thing. She just felt that Yan Wang was her childhood idol, and she should not tell Yan Wang about her unsightly personal affairs.

　　

Lin Wei Xi was sitting on the soft bedding. Thinking back to today matters, she finally gave birth to a sense of realism. At this moment, she felt a little afraid of what had happened just now. Lin Wei Xi fell backward onto the bed, her nose filled with the unique smell of sunlight after the bedding was sun-dried. She stared at the top of the bed for a while, and suddenly burst out a big smile.

　　

The nightmare-like life was finally over. Later, whether Aunt Lin's family was dead or alive, Lin Wei Xi didn't want to care anymore. Tomorrow she would get up early and kept watch on Yan Wang, anyway, she would rely on Yan Wang to take her away. After finding a quiet and simple town, Yan Wang would no longer had to be entangled with her. In the future, when Lin Wei Xi copied the scriptures for Lin Yong and her mother to pray for blessings, she would definitely also burn long life incense for Yan Wang. His son made her so miserable. Lin Wei Xi just asked Yan Wang this much, it’s not excessive right?

　　

Lin Wei Xi kept thinking about her thoughts for a while, and fell asleep like that. This was a rare peace of mind since her rebirth. Lin Wei Xi slept until dawn. When she opened her eyes and saw the dazzling sunshine outside, Lin Wei Xi felt dull for a moment and woke up abruptly.

　　

Oops! Lin Wei Xi hurriedly tidy up her hair, put on her clothes, and ran. As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned when she saw the man in the yard.

　　

Gu Hui Yan turned his head when he heard the voice. The sun shone on him, as if plated by a gold rim: "Awake?"

　　

Lin Wei Xi looked at him blankly for a moment, and closed the door silently.

　　

Gu Hui Yan turned his head and continued to comb Zhao Xue's mane, but there was a slight smile on his lips. Zhou Mao Cheng couldn't figure it out when he saw this: "What's the matter with the Lin family girl? Why did she go back?"

　　

Gu Hui Yan chuckled and shook his head without saying a word.

　　

After a while, Lin Wei Xi pushed the door open again. This time, her cheeks were fair and her hair was neat. Although she did not applied powder, her facial features were almost as dazzling as sunshine. Gu Hui Yan found a carriage for her unknowing from where. Lin Wei Xi raised her chin slightly and boarded the carriage elegantly. After Gu Hui Yan saw it, a thread of smiles appeared in his immovable eyes. Seeing that everyone was ready, he took the lead on Zhao Xue, his voice was clear and majestic: "Leave."

　　

"Yes." The response was loud and full of masculinity, identical like came from one person, the voice rang in the sky and followed by uniform sound of mounting horses. Zhou Mao Cheng was still wondering until he sat down on his horse Shangdu, what was Wangye laughing at? Why didn't he see what was funny?
