Xue Xiang's iron face broke into a gentle smile: "Thank you for your concern, father. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

In these two wars where the outnumbered side defeated the larger force, Xue Xiang was afraid of losing his life when he led his men into the battlefield. Now that his father suddenly came to the military camp and they could get along as warmly as before, he was naturally excited.

Before he was five years old, Xue Xiang studied medicine with his father. Later, he saw King Wei and Guo Yi competing in martial arts on the parade ground, and his passion to learn martial arts and serve the country was born.

Xue Xiang first worshipped the King of Wei as his teacher. After the King of Wei passed away, he followed his uncle Xue Haiping for several years and fought in several battles. However, Xue Haiping was worried that he would die in battle, so he always protected him.

Later, Xue Xiang followed Xie Chibei to fight, and they had a long-standing friendship.

Doctor Xue guided Qiqige to treat the serious injury. The frail-looking girl had a strong heart of a doctor. He felt sorry for Qiqige's life experience:

"Qiqige, there is a medicinal herb called Selaginella, which hibernates in drought and is reborn in water. It represents an unyielding soul and an immortal life. Didn't you say you wanted to take a name that day? Why not give it the name Selaginella?"

Qiqige understood that Doctor Xue had given her a name from the Central Plains that represented a vigorous life force, and she immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Master, for the name."

Doctor Xue looked at her sunken eyes, which had become rounder and her face as white as a silver plate, and said with a smile:

"Since you kneel down and call me your master, I will take you in as my daughter. When you get married, you will leave the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and I will prepare a dowry for you."

Qiqige raised her head in a daze, feeling as stunned as when she first saw the fireworks of the last Moon Festival. Although she did not understand the official positions of the people in the Central Plains, the words "Duke of Zhenguo" sounded very righteous, loyal and majestic.

Moreover, Doctor Xue was the life-saving doctor whom she admired immensely, so she was an adopted daughter with some status.

Qiqige kowtowed three times solemnly and looked at Doctor Xue in a filial manner: "Brewing wine can support myself, but medical skills can save many patients. I will study medicine diligently with my adoptive father."

"The poor scholar enjoys the happiness of supporting his parents with rice and water. Selaginella is determined to be filial to his adoptive father to thank him for his kindness in adopting him."

Doctor Xue held out his hand to help her up. He was very happy to have a half-grown daughter in his middle age. "Okay, then Juanbai will follow your father to learn medicine and accompany me to see patients."

Qiqi glanced at Xue Xiang who was standing there, and saw that he looked solemn. Did she grab some position? She immediately said respectfully: "Juanbai greets my sworn brother."

Xue Xiangru was completely confused and lowered his head blankly: "Oh, it seems that I still need to make military achievements, and my sister-in-law will have someone to support her when she marries into the Marquis' Mansion."

Xue Xiang has lived with soldiers of ordinary origin for many years and is well aware of the hardships of the common people. He does not care about their identity and status.

After the battle of Quhe, Qiqige took the lead in leading her people to kill the members of the Yeluchang tribe, and sent hemostatic herbs, quilts, war horses, etc. to the Shiyan Army.

Now she is still treating the injuries of the Shiyan Army. He admires this woman with such great merits.

Qiqige looked at the soldiers who had all been bandaged up, and glanced at Xue Xiang happily: "Brother, I'll go get you some mare's milk."

Xue Xiang smiled and nodded: "Well, Hongsi gave me a taste of the wine you brewed. It tastes mellow and delicious."

Qiqige ran out of the tent with light steps. It turned out that the assassins of King Jin were all good men who kept their mouths shut. The memory of the cold snow that made her feel inferior melted away with the spring breeze in a foreign country.

An extremely powerful figure rushed behind Qiqige, hugged her waist with one hand, covered her mouth with the other hand, and dragged her behind the hidden tent.

Qiqige punched the man's arm hard: "Help!"

Xue Xiang waited in the tent for a long time but did not see Qiqige. Now he has just taken over the Youzhou Army, and the army is in chaos. Xue Xiang is worried that Qiqige is in danger, so he asked the Shiyan Army to search for her for a long time, but there is no trace of her.
