The crying quickly attracted the attention of the passing soldiers, including Xiao Qian, who had just returned from his investigation.

"Little sister, be good. Don't cry, don't cry. Big brother will whooshed for you, whooshing won't hurt."

The little girl sat on the slippery ground, crying her heart out. She spread out her little hands as she muttered, "Daddy ~ Daddy ~ ~"

A Jin lovingly held onto the small bean bun. Seeing her palm was broken, blood had already seeped out from the torn part of her hand.

He had failed to protect his sister, and he was extremely remorseful and heartbroken. His eyes were also red, and he was on the verge of tears.

Xiao Qian hurried over after smelling the crying. Seeing the two children hugging each other, one of them was crying and the other was trying to coax him. However, he was still crying and looked pitiful.

His heart ached and he quickly ran over to pick up the two children.

"What's going on? Why are you crying like this? "

A Jin lowered her head sadly, wiping away her tears without making a sound.

The soldiers nearby quickly explained, "It's nothing much. He tripped while walking. How can there be any less tripping and stumbling for a bit? He'll be fine after crying for a while."

Xiao Qian pulled on Dou Bao's hand. Seeing that his palm was already covered in blood, he wordlessly picked up the child and headed back to his tent.

"Send the doctor over to show the child."

The people below quickly called the doctor over to take a look.

As the soldier had said, it was not a big deal to begin with. Even if the skin was broken, it would still be fine after a few days without rubbing the ointment.

However, Xiao Qian was unwilling. He had to take out some Golden Sore Medicine and rub it onto the child's wounds. He had to carefully examine the wound to make sure there were no other injuries before he could be at ease.

When Su Zhi came out to find the children, she learned that the two of them had slipped and been taken to Xiao Qian's tent. She also heard that they had hired a doctor, so she hurried over.

"A Jin, little bean bun!"

Hearing the call, A Jin quickly replied, "Mom, we are here."

Su Zhi opened the tent and walked in. When she saw the little bun nestling in Xiao Qian's arms, she hummed like a spoiled child. A Jin was sitting beside her, teasing her sister.

Upon seeing her enter, the small bean bun pouted in grievance. It groaned twice and was about to cry again.

"How are you still injured? Come and let mother see."

Su Zhi's heart ached as she reached out to hug her.

Just as she reached out her hand, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly retracted it. Her two hands tightly held onto Xiao Qian's clothes, unwilling to let go.

Su: "…"

Xiao Qian gently coaxed the child in his arms, so much so that even his voice softened. "It's fine, it's fine if I hug you."

"Sorry for troubling you, General. This child still doesn't understand, so I've troubled you."

"There's no need to worry. There are very few children who are so close to me."

Su Zhi smiled with a guilty conscience and pretended to be serious. "I'll see how mischievous you'll be in the future. You'll only know after you've suffered a loss."

Dou Zi pouted in grievance as she rubbed Xiao Qian's clothes back and forth.

"I'm coming back with mom. The general is going to rest."

A Jin quickly stood up and was about to pull away the Soybean Pancake.

However, the child refused to comply and stubbornly refused to let go of Xiao Qian.

"Little sister be good, follow mother back."

The little girl shook her head in a spoiled manner, "Daddy!"

Su Zhi became more and more embarrassed. She pretended to be angry and said, "Little Bean doesn't want his mother anymore?"

She was about to leave when Dou Bao quickly reached out to grab her. She muttered, "How about it?"

Su Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her. She felt both heartache and helplessness.

A Jin whispered into her ear, "I'll come see you tomorrow."

Only then did the little girl let go and obediently let Su Zhi carry her away.

Xiao Qian stood up to send them off. As he watched the family of three leave, his heart felt warm.

The weather improved considerably after the return journey, and even the rainbows were seen in the rainy sky.

Six or seven days later, Xuan City finally arrived.

On the day they arrived at Xuan City, Xiao Gan came to see Su Zhi in person, saying his goodbyes.

"I wonder when I will be able to see you again. Honored Warriors, please take care."

Without waiting for Su Zhi to reply, she had already hugged Xiao Qian's thigh.

The child seemed to feel that something bad had happened and frowned. He pouted and chattered for his father.

"Thank you for taking care of me all this time, General. This humble woman will always remember this in her heart."

A Jin held Su Zhi's hand and sensibly waved her hand. "Uncle Xiao, thank you for taking us in. Thank you for being willing to teach me martial arts."

Xiao Qian reached out to rub his little head, smiling, "You have to work hard in martial arts, don't waste it."

A Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will definitely remember Uncle Xiao's teachings."

Su Zhi smiled and reached out to take the green bean bun.

Dou Bao retracted her hands, refusing to leave the warm embrace.

"Yes, Father ~ ~ Yes, Father ~"

"Be good, stop messing around. Uncle is waiting to go back." Su Zhi ignored her mischief and carried her back.

Dou Zi refused. She struggled to get back into Xiao Qian's embrace, crying incessantly.

Su Zhi's persuasion did not work for a while as she was sweating profusely from anxiety.

It was like saying goodbye to your wife and children when your husband was away.

The wailing of the bean bag had attracted many passers-by. Even the soldiers who had returned with her stood on tiptoe to see what was going on.

Su Zhi steeled her heart and said sternly, "Don't cry. If you don't want to leave with Mother, then stay here!"

After saying that, she pulled A Jin to the other side. The little bean bun quickly cried as he chased after her. After taking two steps, he turned around to look at Xiao Qian.

"Listen to your mother, hurry up and go."

Xiao Qian felt sorry for the child, but he couldn't take her away. At the very least, he had to bring the child back.

The small bean bag was standing between Su Zhi and Xiao Qian. As it slowly walked towards Su Zhi, it looked unwillingly at Xiao Qian.

The little figure stood under the blazing sun, crying until his nose was mucus and tears ran down his cheeks. His little face was red from holding in his emotions.

In the end, she cried loudly before running in Su Zhi's direction as if she had made up her mind.

"Mother ~"

Feeling pained, Su Zhi hugged her child and nodded at Xiao Qian before disappearing into the crowd with her two children.

After the three of them disappeared in the sea of people, Xiao Qian retracted his gaze and rode his horse towards the direction of the capital.

It had been a month from the border pass to Xuancheng, when the weather began to cool from the cold dew.

Now that Xuan City had arrived, Su Zhi was relieved. The most important thing was to find a place to rest.

Xuan City was bustling, and since ancient times, it had been the gathering place of the Shang family's illustrious families.

Smoky willow painting bridge, green curtain, traffic, endless streams of, city treasure, LuoQi from different places, caravans from different places, there are golden hair and blue eyes, there are mysterious Fusang customers …

Xuancheng scenery is unique, the sky is clear, the trees around the embankment sand, the raging waves frost snow, the heavy lake stack Qingjia.

Three Autumn Osmanthus, ten miles of lotus flowers, singing a soft melody, riding a pleasure boat, half covered the lute, singing all night long, drunk listening to the flute drums, singing the flute melody.

Su Zhi brought her two children and exclaimed in admiration at the prosperity of Xuan City.

This place was not a peaceful village with barren loess, nor was it a desert filled with sand.

The liveliness of Xuan City was just as she had anticipated.

"A Jin, you and your little sister are following closely. Mom will bring you guys to find an inn to stay at for a few days."

"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely watch my little sister."

Su Zhi brought her children to a few inns. Just by asking about the price of the shop, they were all extremely expensive.

A normal guest room would cost 2 or 3 taels of silver each night. This was a relatively inexpensive restaurant, so it would be much more expensive to change it to the other room.

It was no wonder that Xiao Qian had given her a sum of silver after learning that she wanted to live here peacefully.

With a sigh, she pulled the two children around in search of the cheapest inn.

The waiter of a restaurant in the busy city had told her that there was a restaurant on the street heading west. The restaurant's prices were fair and fair.

After walking around in a circle, the three of them finally found the hotel mentioned by the waiter.

Outside of the limestone street sat a restaurant with a rather big front. The restaurant was called Flowerland Restaurant.

At first glance, it sounded elegant and impressive, but in reality, it was a place where not even flies frequented. Looking at the signboard and the shop's front, it really did have a simple and unadorned feeling, one couldn't even see a customer drinking tea from the outside.
