Chapter 1199 I'm Coming to Take You Home!
d utilize the hot springs, planting fruit trees on both sides of the mountains, building vacation cottages or small courtyards in the valleys, and cultivating large areas of watermelon and grapes on t...Jia Yin ignored him and rushed to embrace the Marquis tightly.
"Father, I'm here! Come home with me!"
The lord's eyes also turned red, he tightly embraced the embarrassed little girl, choked with sobs.
The little girl, who was always neat and pretty, had her hair disheveled and her clothes dirty. It was clear she had suffered along the way, but her smile remained as bright as ever.
"Well, your godfather has spent his whole life winning battles. The only time he lost, you came along! You're your godfather's savior, you were when you were little, and you are now too!"
The Marquis lowered his head, two tears falling onto the dust on his daughter's shoulders.
At this moment, there is no sadness, only joy, the joy of being redeemed by selfless devotion!
Jia Yin gently patted her stepfather's back, like comforting a hurt child.
Until, a gurgling sound broke the silence.
Jia Yin looked at her embarrassed father and couldn't help but laugh, saying,
"Dad, I brought you some delicious food. Have someone go with Mu Gege to get it!"
"Haha, I knew my daughter was coming. She wouldn't miss out on my delicious food and drinks!" Li Laosi laughed heartily and immediately asked someone for help.
Mu Xu followed at the side, his expression somewhat strange.
Li Laosi still thought he was minding his daughter being held by them, so he snorted and said, "You little punk, don't be so petty! Besides, Fu Niuer hasn't married you yet, even if she did, she'll always be our daughter, the apple of our eye!"
Mu Xu remained silent, until, leading Li Lao Si around a large rock...
Jia Yin smelled the metallic scent of blood on her stepfather and helped him closer to the campfire. By the light of the flames, she quickly tore away the filthy strips of cloth.
As expected, the wound on my leg has already become inflamed and purulent.
The front, back and upper arms were also crisscrossed with numerous wounds, though not as severe as those on the legs.
"Father, how did you come to have so many wounds Why don't you stay put"
Jiayin was heartbroken and couldn't help but complain.
Just then, Wei Ernniu heard the news and rushed over.
He quickly replied, "Don't blame the Marquis, those barbarians are like madmen, attacking three or four times a day. The Marquis is afraid of casualties among everyone, so he goes wherever the fighting is fiercest."
Even an ironclad body couldn't withstand it!
The lord waved his hand, signaling him to say less.
Jia Yin sighed in her heart, feeling a little regret that she had been too harsh with her words just now.
My stepfather doesn't talk much, but he is actually very loyal and righteous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been exploited by that person in the palace for so many years.
He was probably feeling so guilty that so many soldiers were put in danger because of him being tricked, that he'd rather get hurt himself than have his soldiers die.
He always remembered his promise, to bring out as many people as he did, and not let any white-haired person send a black-haired one back!
She quickly took out various medicines and tools from her bag, ready to act. Suddenly, she remembered something and took out two steamed buns from her bag, stuffing them into her godfather's hands.
"Hurry up and eat, Godfather. In a while, they'll be cutting the flesh of the condemned. Your stomach is empty; I'm afraid you might faint."
The Lord glanced at Wei Erniu and handed him a steamed bun from his hand.
Weierniú swallowed his saliva with longing, but still made an excuse and ran away.
Jia Yin quickly said, "Father-in-law, please eat first. I brought a lot."
The lord then took a big bite.
If an outsider saw this, they would surely be amazed.
After all, a war hero of such great renown, would actually obey the orders of a little girl.
But those closest to her know best, the entire Li family, even Sui Jintan, this young lady is truly the mastermind!
She possesses a magical charm that can turn the tide and put everyone at ease.
Just like now, she lowered her head, expertly cutting away the rotting flesh, applying medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound, all while talking about the latest news from Xin Du.
Any sentence that would make anyone listening explode, yet she spoke it as if it were commonplace.
“So…” The Marquis fell silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, “At this time, is that person gone”
Jia Yin nodded, seriously tying the cotton strip in her hand into a bow, thinking she had done an excellent job.
“That’s right, I think I’ve calculated everything. The plan is meticulous, he should have no way to escape. Even if he does escape, I'm not afraid. If I truly want him dead, I’ll always find an opportunity.”
Having said that, she raised her head and comforted him, "Father-in-law, that man has treated you well, and our family as well. But you have been loyal and fought for him abroad for over a decade, which is enough to repay his kindness."
"Our family has also done our best to fulfill our responsibilities as citizens."
"This ending, it's his doing. He pressed forward relentlessly, he was the one who destroyed this genuine affection first... So..."
"You shouldn't blame me for fighting back, I can't allow anyone to harm my family!"
The first time the Lord saw his beloved's expression so resolute and cold, he couldn't help but chuckle wryly. He rubbed his beloved's hair gently.
"Silly girl, your foster father would never blame you. I owe nothing to that person. This time, the decision to fight to the death is for Tianwu and the people, not for that person."
He brought this upon himself. I only hope the crown prince is a good one and doesn't ruin the great rivers and mountains we fought so hard to reclaim.
"Rest assured, father-in-law, I think the Crown Prince is a good person too," Jia Yin smiled and replied, "Even if our two old men have poor eyesight and don't know people well, it shouldn't be that we get them all wrong, right"
The lord couldn't help but laugh along too.
At that moment, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance, as if countless people were cheering in hushed voices.
The lord looked over and saw Li Laosi and the others carrying many large barrels and willow baskets, running back quickly.
"My lord, it's grain and fruit, and also medicine! It's a real blessing!"
Li Lao Si danced with glee, wishing he could jump up and down on the spot.
Although he knew his daughter had some supernatural abilities, the thousands of people waiting for rescue on this mountain weren't just a few!
One person needs dozens of buckets of water, how can the daughter be saved
But as he rounded the large rock, seeing these baskets and buckets of wood, he was so startled that his scalp went numb, and his heart pounded!
My mother always says that her daughter is the little fairy of the house!
He thought it was just an old lady spoiling her child, but to his surprise, it was actually true!
This open space, he had just walked past it too. Clearly nothing was there, but now it's filled with hope!
The Lord also limped forward to take a look.
The baskets and trays were filled with steamed buns, dumplings, and various kinds of pastries. The trays also held braised meat, roast chicken, and a variety of fruits. In the hundred or so wooden barrels, half were filled with stews and the other half with clean water...
The orange glow of the fire, casting upon these edibles, made it all seem unreal.
The snow-white steamed buns, the crystal dumplings, the crimson apples, the tender peaches, and the glistening roast chicken, the fragrant bean sprouts stewed with braised pork...
Even if you were besieged on a lone mountain by barbarians, or sitting in a teahouse in Xindu, you wouldn't necessarily be able to eat something this good!
"Is this a dream"
At some point, a multitude of soldiers had gathered, drawn by the aroma. They all stared at the food on the ground, dumbfounded.
Someone even whispered, "Am I going to die My mother said that when a person is about to die, they think of whatever they want!"
Li Lao Si couldn't help but laugh and cry. He slapped Xiao Bing on the shoulder and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about Now that you're caught, even if you want to die, you can't!"
