After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

The old woman's face was full of pride.

"Yes, I heard that he passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official in the capital."

The father and son thanked the old woman with heavy hearts, and went to the graves of Li's parents to pay their respects.

“My two benefactors, our Nangong family thanks you for taking in and raising our Xue’er. We have no way to repay you, please accept our greetings!

No matter what the future holds, you are you and he is him, and we will always remember your kindness."

After the worship, he led his people out of the village.

"Boss, we have to hurry back to the capital!

The new number one scholar, Li Yulin, married Xue Jing, the daughter of Prime Minister Xue. We were invited to the wedding banquet at that time. "

"Yes! Dad, Prime Minister Xue is powerful and has Concubine Xue's support. I'm afraid..."

Nangong Honglie looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.

"If anything happens to Xue'er, I will fight with them even if it costs me my life."

"Dad, if it's Li Yulin..."

"Let's talk about it later!" Nangong Honglie frowned and whipped the horse.

The group rode at full speed to the capital.

Flower Hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After dinner, Li Yulin and Xue Jing sat in the flower hall drinking tea and chatting.

At this time, a servant came in to report.

"Miss, son-in-law, we searched along the official road for a whole day, but there was no trace of the woman."

Xue Jing looked at the servant suspiciously: "How far have you searched? Are you being lazy?"

"Miss, please understand. We have been searching for about twenty miles."

Li Yulin pinched his chin in thought: "She couldn't have left so quickly! Could it be that she hid somewhere else and didn't return to Lijia Village?"

"Husband, what should we do now? You should think of a solution quickly."

"Since she didn't go back to Lijia Village, she must be nearby. She's pregnant and can't walk far. We can just send people to look for her nearby.

I still can't believe it, where can she hide? !

By the way, there is something fishy about this.

She left ahead of time with her clothes and provisions, as if she knew we were going to look for her."

Xue Jing immediately nodded in agreement when she heard this: "My husband is right. It seems someone tipped her off."

Li Yulin agreed with Xue Jing's statement.

“That’s the only possibility!

Otherwise, why didn't she run away earlier or later, but waited until we found out?"

Xue Jing threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"It's better not to let me find out who it is. Otherwise, she will be forced to live in agony, and die in agony!"

Official road outside the city.

Afternoon of the third day.

After Nangong Jiu had eaten and drunk his fill, he asked Nangong Yunxue.

[Mother, what time is it now? ]

Nangong Yunxue looked outside the cave and said, "It should be the afternoon."

[Wei Shi? Then let's go quickly and wait for grandpa and uncle at the roadside.]

The storybook said that at the end of the hour of Wei, Nangong Honglie and his son rode their horses into the city gate, so it was a good time to wait on the official road.

Nangong Yunxue put Nangong Jiu down and stood up to pack up the things she brought.

[Mother, don't worry about this. If you delay any longer, you will miss your grandfather and the others.]

"Yes, let's go!"

Nangong Yunxue picked up Nangong Jiu, grabbed a thin felt to cover Nangong Jiu, but her body swayed when she stood up.

Nangong Jiu felt it and felt distressed.

My mother had only given birth to me two or three days ago, and she lived in this cave, so she had no chance of taking good care of herself. I was lucky that she didn't fall ill.

At the entrance of the cave, Xiao Wang took a look at the little person in Nangong Yunxue's arms, then stood obediently in front of Nangong Yunxue and waved his head to signal Nangong Yunxue to ride on him.

Nangong Yunxue looked at the dog that was taller than her knees and said, "I am an adult and very heavy. I can walk on my own."

[If there are a few more mothers like this, Xiao Wang can also carry them. It is not an ordinary dog. ]

Nangong Yunxue looked up at the sky, afraid of missing the time, so she stopped refusing and sat on Xiao Wang's back.

[Don't be afraid, Mom. Xiao Wang is very stable.]

Xiao Wang ran towards the official road with brisk, steady steps.

When they reached the official road, he consciously lay down on the side of the road and served as a seat for Nangong Yunxue.

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.

Looking up, I saw a group of people crossing the mountain and heading towards the city gate in a hurry.

Leading the group was a burly, vigorous middle-aged man, followed closely by a handsome young man.

[It should be them, mother, come on quickly. ]

Nangong Yunxue held Nangong Jiu in her arms and stood in the middle of the road, with one free hand making an intercepting gesture.

"Shut up!"

Seeing someone blocking the road, they quickly stopped their horses when they were still about two meters away.

The people who came were none other than Nangong Honglie and his son, who were worried and anxious to return.

Nangong Yunxue stared at the middle-aged man's face. The dusty and blurry fragments gradually became clear at this moment.

He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

"Daddy!"

This sudden action startled the father and son.

Nangong Honglie looked at Nangong Yunxue carefully.

When he saw Nangong Yunxue's features clearly, he dismounted from his horse and quickly ran towards Nangong Yunxue.

"Xue'er? You are Xue'er?!"

"Yes, I am Nangong Yunxue!"

Nangong Honglie had no time to investigate the reason why Nangong Yunxue suddenly appeared here to block the way, and he didn't even care about the distinction between men and women.

He helped Nangong Yunxue up, and took Nangong Yunxue and the swaddled Nangong Jiu into his arms.

"Xue'er, it's our Xue'er! We..."

This tough guy who had been on the battlefield for a long time and killed countless enemies, at this moment, his eyes were red and he was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

"younger sister!"

Nangong Yunsheng also jumped off his horse, staggered forward and hugged his sister and father.

After a while, they calmed down and separated.

Seeing that Nangong Yunxue looked pale and weak, Nangong Honglie hurriedly helped Nangong Yunxue to sit down on the side of the road.

"Xue'er, why are you here? This child..."

“She is my daughter, Nangong Jiu, who was born less than three days ago.

Daddy, that beast Li Yulin wants to kill us!"

Nangong Yunsheng took off his coat immediately and carefully covered Nangong Yunxue's head with it: "Dad, take my sister home first. She can't be exposed to the wind after giving birth!"

"Yes, let's go!"

Nangong Honglie wanted to help Nangong Yunxue get on the horse, but Nangong Yunxue shook her head and pointed at Xiao Wang who walked forward automatically.

"I have it!"

As he said that, he sat on Xiao Wang's back, and Xiao Wang ran towards the city gate first.

"This……"

The father and son were shocked and quickly mounted their horses to chase after him, protecting him from the front and the back.

The group quickly entered the city and headed towards the general's mansion in the east of the capital.

General's Mansion.

After walking quickly for a while, the group returned to the gate of the general's mansion.

Nangong Yunsheng stepped forward and tried to help Nangong Yunxue down.

Nangong Honglie stopped him: "No, just let the mother and daughter ride in.

Along the way, the dog ran faster than a horse, so it should not be a problem for him to climb a few stone steps."

After Nangong Honglie finished speaking, Xiao Wang shook his head and tail and stepped onto the stone steps.

Nangong Yunsheng looked at Xiao Wang curiously: "Dad, what kind of dog is this? Why have I never seen it before?

Moreover, no matter how it ran, my sister didn’t seem to be shaking, and the clothes covering her head didn’t move at all! ”

Nangong Honglie had noticed this situation a long time ago.

He looked around and warned quietly: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.

Go tell your mother and grandfather right away!"

Nangong Yunsheng immediately shut up and hurried to the backyard.

Nangong Honglie accompanied Nangong Yunxue and walked slowly to the backyard: "Xue'er, this is our home!

The house I lived in before was demolished and rebuilt. The area has changed a lot, you may not even remember it. "

Nangong Yunxue looked at the completely unfamiliar home and nodded inquiringly.

"Dad, Mom, are they all okay?"
