The system pits me and destroys the heroine

It is the second time to walk the waterway, and everyone has experience.

The raft is made extremely long, the width of three people, and there are handles half a person's height on the side to prevent people from falling into the water. Everyone stands in a row, each with a long / gun, and can also be used as a wooden pulp when there are no corpse puppets use.

Throughout the day, Si Qinglian took good care of Xia Ningle, stood in the safest place, and ate the best fruit. What was supposed to be a trip full of dangers turned into a tour of mountains and rivers. The mountains are good mountains. The water is good water, but Xia Ningle is not so good.

Si Qinglian's seriousness towards her in the past was gone, and her intention of being so attentive was also very obvious. The guards also knew that Si Qinglian liked her, so everyone could only pretend to be confused and not see.

About midnight, the team went ashore.

The raft was left behind for the time being.

The outline of the border town is also in sight, like the Great Wall lying on the land like a dragon. Unlike the Great Wall, there is a small town in the center of the border town, where 15 soldiers are stationed. Their main duty is to take turns to go to the city. The tower stands guard to prevent foreign enemies from invading.

However, the border town just in front of us was blocked by a group of corpse puppets. These corpse puppets were wearing soft armor, covered with mud and maggots everywhere, and the flesh on their bodies had only recently begun to rot. You don’t need to think about them. He used to be a soldier who defended his homeland, but now he raises his sword to destroy the place he has guarded all his life.

"These... are they soldiers from the border town?"

"Looking at the clothes, it's more or less the same." Si Qinglian couldn't see how many corpse puppets there were, so she immediately ordered Qiu'er, "Send the signal."

Qiu'er lit a firework and shot it towards the sky. The fiery red light illuminated the earth, reflecting a foul-smelling blood color. Si Qinglian waved his hand: "Go, follow me around."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The corpse puppet was attracted by the sound of fireworks, and everyone quietly walked around, but the fireworks were only a flash in the pan, and the footsteps of the hundred people could not help but make a little movement, until there was a roar, and everyone ran for their lives.

Si Qinglian dragged Xia Ning to run happily.

Qiu'er released a firework again, and the bloody red light illuminated dozens of corpse puppets in front of them, opening their mouths and running.

"Fire the arrow!" Si Qinglian ordered.

Hundreds of arrows were fired, and most of the corpse puppets in front were pierced into hedgehogs. The second shot of arrows wiped out more than half of the corpse puppets in front of them. Then, more arrows rained from the other side, killing them all in an instant.

It turned out that the border town saw the signal and sent cavalry to reinforce it, but there were too many corpse puppets chasing after Si Lian, and everyone couldn't stop running.

"You run directly into the border town, let's break the rear!" The leading cavalry shouted loudly, then cut his palm with a dagger, and rode into two teams to run.

The corpse puppet also separated, followed by Crazy.

With the cover of the cavalry, Si Qinglian and his party entered the city safe and sound, but the city gate was not closed immediately, and the gate was closed only after the cavalry detoured back.

The helmets of the soldiers in the border towns were all half-covered. The leading cavalryman took off his helmet, and he looked about forty, and he spoke with great air: "The last general Jiang Fei pays his respects to His Highness."

"Mianli, why are there so many corpse puppets outside the border city?" Si Qinglian thought that the situation here would be better than that in the border city, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"It was caused by the refugees from abroad. Now it's not just our country that is infected with this terrible disease, even the enemy country is now in danger. The general didn't know that they were also infected at the time. Seeing them pleading, the general is also heartbroken." I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to temporarily resettle the person, but unexpectedly..." Jiang Fei sighed, "In short, it's all the fault of the junior general. No matter how His Highness wants to punish, the junior general has no complaints."

"There are also enemy countries!" Si Qinglian pondered for a moment, "Forget it, don't worry about them, how much food is there in the city?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the general here not only has grain but also seeds. On weekdays, the general will also lead troops to cultivate land and be self-sufficient. The food here is enough for several years."

"It's cold in the north, how do you grow the land?"

"Nature is some crops such as potatoes that are easy to survive."

Hearing these words, half of the stone in everyone's heart fell, Si Qinglian said with a smile: "Father used to say that it is a blessing to have General Jiang in the court, and now it seems that it is indeed the case."

"Thank you." Jiang Fei said sadly, "It's just that there are quite a few corpse puppets outside the border city, and the food may not be transported out."

"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, don't worry."

Jiang Fei set his eyes on Xia Ningle, and he asked later: "What's the name of this little girl, she looks familiar?"

"Xia Ningle, it's good for the general to call me Lele."

"Sure enough, it's Brother Xia's daughter. I didn't expect her to be so old." Seeing her, Jiang Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Now things are different, hey!"

"The general and my father are friends?"

"Yes, and I'm a close friend, but I can't leave the border town. Fortunately, you are fine." Jiang Fei waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, I will send someone to prepare food. If you don't mind, go to my mansion to rest first." half a day."

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Fei looked at Si Qinglian: "As for Your Highness..."

"I don't dislike it."

Jiang Fei: "...that's fine."

Jiang Fei's mansion is not big, and there are not many servants.

Xia Ning was happy to see a child practicing with a wooden sword in the courtyard, but the child had a serious and serious face, and the hand holding the sword was wobbly, so cute.

"Is this child your lord's daughter?" she asked.

"Haha, isn't it cute, but it's a pity that it's not my child. I don't know who the father of the child is. Speaking of which, she and her mother were entrusted to me by your father..."

"What?" Si Qinglian and her spoke in unison.

Jiang Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xia told me that I can't talk nonsense. I thought they were poor orphans and widowers, so I took them in. Unexpectedly, your father was beheaded in a few days... There won't be any...relationship?"

"How old is that kid?"

"It came when I was just born, and it has been more than six years now."

Six years, counting the time, isn't that the time when Imperial Physician Xia took away the princess six years ago?Could this child be related to Si Qinglian?

Xia Ningle and Si Qinglian's eyes were on the child. Although he was fair and clean, his facial features did not look like Si Qinglian's. It was hard to guess just by looking at it. She simply came to the child and said with a smile: "How old is the kid, what's his name, where is your mother now?"

The child glanced at her coldly: "You have so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"

Be good, this stinky face looks a lot like Si Qinglian, Xia Ningle said kindly, "Sorry, why don't we answer together to save time."

After all, the child is young, now that he heard Xia Ningle's words, he also felt that it made sense, and said: "I am six years old, my name is Mengmeng, and my mother washes clothes in the backyard."

"Take me to see your mother!" Si Qinglian didn't have the patience to coax the child, and he just ordered people to do things.

Mengmeng was not intimidated like an ordinary child, and said: "Who are you, why are you so rude?"

Jiang Fei couldn't help jumping out, explained it to Mengmeng, and then apologized to Si Qinglian. Fortunately, Mengmeng's mother heard the voice and came to the front yard to have a look. The little girl couldn't help but ran towards the woman.

Mengmeng wondered that her mother didn't pick her up like usual, but her face was pale, as if she was frightened by something, and she followed her gaze to look back, Si Qinglian looked expressionless.

"It's been a long time." Si Qinglian said.

"Your Highness... this old slave pays homage to Your Highness!" The woman wanted to kneel after she finished speaking, but Mengmeng stopped her and said fiercely to Si Qinglian, "Don't bully my mother!"

Xia Ningle: "She is?"

"My nanny, before my mother and concubine disappeared, I gave you a free contract to let you leave the imperial city, but she never thought that you would be arranged here by the imperial doctor Xia." Si Qinglian's expression was calm, but his tone of voice was fierce. , "Tell me, what happened back then, is this child yours?"

The woman lowered her head and glanced at the girl in her arms with confused eyes. She clenched her hands tightly and said, "Naturally, it is the child of the old slave. Back then, the mother let the old slave leave the imperial city because she wanted the old slave to reunite with her husband. Knowing that he had someone else and wanted to take a concubine, I left because I didn't want to, and later found out that I was pregnant, so I had no choice but to ask Imperial Physician Xia for help."

Si Qinglian was silent, as if he was thinking about the credibility of his words, but Xia Ningle suddenly approached and whispered, "This child doesn't look like her at all, and he doesn't look like His Highness either."

Si Qinglian's ears were itchy, and she moved a little away, but her bad and chaotic mood became much clearer. She glanced at Xia Ningle, who had done something strange and didn't know it. "That child is a bit like my father."

Xia Ningle felt that her ears were very hot, but she couldn't say anything. She was the first to hand in the ear. She just touched the base of her ear unnaturally, and even her fingertips were hot.

She thought to herself, it's over, she really likes Si Qinglian, she can't stand a little teasing, she wants to bite her ear back, but she can't, she will leave, or die.

The woman kept saying that the child was born by her, but Si Qinglian had nothing to do about it. After all, she was her nanny, so she couldn't use torture to force the other party to tell the truth. Can't live.

The nanny couldn't refuse to serve Si Qinglian, the little girl seemed very unhappy, and would always raise her eyebrows at Si Qinglian, and the girl would teach her not to be rude to him.

The woman looked at Si Qinglian very uncomfortable.

Serving Si Qinglian's dishes at noon was also absent-minded, and when she was full, Xia Ningle separated the two of them under the pretext of playing with Mengmeng. No matter how defensive a child is, she is actually very naive.

Xia Ningle first took her to the kitchen to make some sweets. The little girl has been living here all her life, and all she sees are elders, who are either wielding knives and guns or planting seeds in the fields. The first time she saw Bai Nennen’s food was extremely curious.

Then I made a kite and played again.

After a long time, the relationship between the two became much closer. Xia Ningle asked some questions, all of which were insignificant nonsense, such as asking how women usually treat her, whether they would beat and scold, or be respectful , what do you want?
