brushwood Feng Wu Dazheng!

Ying E was shocked, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Daddy, don't blame Brother Zhao, it's actually me ? "Her words were cut off by Erzhu's loud voice before she could finish.

"Uncle, this is all your nephew's fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else." After saying this, he stood up abruptly, turned around and walked outside without looking back.

Ying'er anxiously tried to go up and defend herself, but Sima Zi grabbed her by the sleeve and pulled her out without saying a word. Ying'er wanted to break free from his grasp, but the other person's strength far exceeded her imagination. She didn't stop until she was outside the tent.

"Sima Zi Ru, what are you trying to do?!" Ying E angrily shook his hand off, "Big Brother Zhao was punished because of me. It was my fault that I didn't shoot the second pheasant. Why didn't you let me explain this to Abba?"

Sima Zifeng glanced at her indifferently, "Do you think you can get rid of this punishment by explaining it to me? As the chief's daughter, don't you understand your father's personality? "

Ying E was slightly startled.

"I still remember last year, when we went hunting. One of the members of the tribe recklessly disobeyed orders and got away from the formation due to his greed. As a result, he was killed by the chief on the spot. This time, the chief gave the order very clearly, asking him to hunt two pheasants. Whatever the reason, it is true that your cousin did not fulfill the order. "These thirty military sticks are already the mercy of the chief."

With Sima Ziruo's reminder, Ying'er also remembered this incident and couldn't help but be shocked. Abba had always been a strict army, and using the word 'strict' to describe him was not an exaggeration. If not for her willful insistence on firing a second arrow, her cousin would not have suffered this pain in vain. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel regret and upset. She couldn't help but complain to Sima Zi.

"Aren't you usually the wisest and most resourceful? "Then why didn't you think of a way to let Big Brother Zhao escape from his punishment?"

"I do have a way to get the chief to change his mind, but I won't do that."

Ying E was momentarily stifled. "Why?!"

Sima Zi's usual smile disappeared, his bottomless eyes flashing with a faint light. Half of his handsome face was covered by shadows cast by the clouds, exuding a kind of special charm.

"As long as you make a mistake, you can be forgiven for taking the responsibility. Such a righteous understanding will only allow you to continue making mistakes over and over again. On the other hand, it is clearly your own fault that you let others bear the burden and receive the punishment for it. Only then will you regret truly realizing what exactly you are doing wrong. " He paused, and his voice couldn't help but become a little deeper, "A person can make mistakes, but not over and over again. "Ying E, the road ahead is long, but there aren't many opportunities for you to make mistakes, do you understand?"

Ying'er blankly stared at Sima Zi Ru with astonishment in her eyes. Layers of ripples appeared in her heart because of his words.

It was as if this was the first time she had seen the other side of him. Some were unfamiliar, some were serious, some made her feel ? uneasy.

The surroundings seemed to quiet down, and the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to become more subtle.

At this moment, he heard a muffled groan from not too far away. Ying'er's heart skipped a beat. She was about to run in that direction when Sima Zi called out her name from behind her.

Ying'er slowed her steps. Without turning around, she raised her chin proudly and said, "Sima Zi Ru, I'm going to see Brother Zhao. Don't even think about stopping me!"

Sima Zi revealed a faint smile and returned to his usual demeanor. He said calmly, "I'm just reminding you out of the kindness of my heart that a man should take off his pants when being tortured by a stick. Are you sure you want to go and watch the execution now? "

Looking at Ying'er's back, Sima Zi couldn't help but chuckle. His mood improved inexplicably.

After midnight, all the other tents had quietened down. The people who were exhausted had all fallen asleep. Only a few tents were still shining with light, including the man who had just been sentenced to death's door. At this moment, he was lying on the bed in an ungraceful manner, frowning as he grimaced in pain and ordered the guards to pour water for him.

Ying'er, who had snuck in to see this scene, hastened to take a few steps forward.

"Brother Zhao, how is your injury? "Does it still hurt?"

When he heard Ying E's voice, he subconsciously wanted to get up, but he forgot his injury and shivered in pain. But he forced himself to smile back at her.

"I'm fine, just a small injury. Really! I can still hunt for the wolf now! "

"Don't try to be brave!" Ying E took the bowl from the guard and leaned over to carefully feed him water with the spoon.

From where he stood, her long and dense eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly flapping its wings on the water surface. A clear and shallow ripple spread out in his heart, as if there was something extremely soft spreading along with the ripples in the water ?

"I'm sorry, Big Brother Zhao. "Actually, Abba should have punished me." Her apologetic voice carried into his ears through the night wind.

He looked at her bowed head and found it funny.

"I am your elder brother. Of course I have to shoulder this burden for you. Besides, it was just a slip of the hand, nothing wrong at all. Don't let your thoughts run wild. "

Ying E suddenly raised her head, her clear glass-like eyes were filled with a smile, "Brother Zhao, you have treated me the best! Of course, I'm also very good to you! " As she spoke, she took out a paper bag from her bosom and placed it in front of his eyes, "I made them cook your favorite venison for you. Eat it while it's still hot!"

Opening the paper bag, Ying E picked up a piece and stuffed it into Er Zhu Zhao's mouth. He chewed on it with a smile on his face. Suddenly, his expression turned strange. Ying'er looked puzzled. "What's wrong?" You don't like it? " After saying that, she picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. Her expression immediately changed and she hurriedly spat it out.

"Pah pah pah!" What was going on! How could it be so bitter! Crap! Did I accidentally break the gallbladder! "

Seeing Ying'er's intense reaction, Zhu Zhao took another piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly and swallowing it. As the bitter food entered his stomach, a warm wind seemed to surge into his chest. The warm wind was blowing all over his body and wrapping around his heart. Gradually, the pain in his wound seemed to lessen ?

"Ying E, no matter what happens in the future, remember that I will be the one to shoulder the burden for you ?"

"Got it, Brother Zhao, just go to sleep ?" "You're not allowed to open your eyes again ?"

When Ying E came out of Erzhu's tent, she heard the crying of the child. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw Gao Chengzheng coaxing his younger brother, Gao Yang, at a loss of what to do. Gao Yang was the second son of Lou Zhaojun last year. He did not look like his parents, and he was even more inferior to Yan Li's beautiful Gao Cheng.

Ying E rushed forward and pulled Gao Yang out of Gao Chen's embrace. After a few attempts at coaxing him, the child calmed down. Gao Chen let out a breath of relief and dabbed his forehead with his sleeve.

"A-Hui, why are you guys here?" Where's Mistress? What about A-Jin's wet nurse? Where are the others? " Ying E asked as she gently shook Gao Yang.

A bashful expression was revealed on her face, "The wet nurse suddenly has a bellyache, let me help her for a while, then turn back immediately." "My mom is busy preparing my dad's things so he won't be flustered."

Ying'er was stunned, "A trip? Where is Master going? "

Gao Cheng was also somewhat surprised, "Big Sis still doesn't know?" "My Abba and Uncle Tianmu will be going to Qingzhou very soon."

Ying'er was even more shocked. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw a tall and straight figure rushing over. Even though his steps were hurried, his demeanor was still as clear as ever.

Seeing who it was, Gao Cheng could not help but exclaim in delight, "Father!"

Gao Huan gave him a slight smile. "A-Hui, your mom is looking for you right now. You should head over first." I'll keep watch over Ah Jin. "

Gao Cheng nodded in relief and slowly walked away.

At this moment, a bright moon peeked out from behind the clouds. The silver moonlight was like a light mist as it suffused the air. Ying E raised her head and saw that Gao Huan's face was as white and cold as jade under the moonlight. A faint moonlight seemed to float around her body.

"Master, you're going to the Azure Province?" she asked again.

Gao Huan nodded. "We'll leave in seven days. It will take us some time to get to Qingzhou from here. If all goes well, we might be able to return within half a year. "

Ying E felt her nose sour, and her eyes reddened slightly. "Master, you must promise me, you mustn't get hurt, okay?"

A tiny leaf drifted in the wind and landed on the tip of her nose. Ying E raised the tip of her nose and sneezed. Gao Huan couldn't help but laugh. She extended her hand to brush away the leaf before lifting her hand to gently rub her hair.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not be injured. I'm going to come back and teach you to play the flute, aren't I? "

Ying'er nodded her head heavily. Suddenly, she heard Gao Yang mumbling in her arms. She looked down and found him puking in his sleep. She could not help but call Gao Huan excitedly.

"Master, master, look!" Ah Jin will spit out bubbles like a little fish! "

When she smiled, it was as if thousands of flowers bloomed at the same time. It was extremely dazzling. Gao Huan was stunned for a moment. Deep down in her heart, she felt as if a heartstring had been lightly plucked by this smile. Suddenly, he felt as if the wheel of fate had begun to slowly turn.

Ying E saw that Gao Huan didn't react and looked up in surprise. He was staring at her, his eyes soft and hazy, as if he was filled with complicated emotions.

It was an expression she had never seen before.

At this moment, a lazy voice came from the side. "Brother He Liu, you can rest assured that I will take good care of sister-in-law and the rest when we go to the Azure Province."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Gao Huan's head. He quickly woke up from his moment of absent-mindedness. Looking at the confused Ying'er, he felt a little regretful and then gently shook his head.

Ying E also followed the voice and looked over. Not far away, a Han Family youth wearing a narrow sleeveless robe was standing there calmly. The evening wind rustled up his sleeves, making him appear especially handsome.
