Wei Tong shook off the blood on the knife, raised his hand to the strange girl on the ground and said, "Thank you so much, this knight, for helping my family."
On the way here, Feipeng had already told him that a young knight came to help. But how could her disguise be hidden from Wei Tong's eyes.
The woman was startled, as if she had just recovered from the shock, and she quickly returned the greeting: "My lord, you are truly extraordinary. Thank you very much..."
At this time, Song Xin and Ajiang had already helped Wei Yitong and Wei Shu, and Song Xin also helped his sister away from the corpses.
Wei Tong stretched out his hand and pulled the girl up. She hurriedly adjusted her clothes that had been torn apart by the villains of the Three Saints Sect. Her face was covered with dust and blood.
Her eyes were looking at Song Xin and Wei Tong, and suddenly her eyes fell on Song Xin, "Is it you!?"
At this time, Fei Peng, who was behind Song Xin, also recognized the knight and couldn't help but exclaimed, "You are...Sister Hou!!!?"
The woman in front of him was one of the group of people that Song Xin rescued outside Zhujia Town, along with Li Hansu, Fei Peng and Si Nu. At that time, this woman asked Song Xin for a ring-shaped sword and a horse, and then left alone. Unexpectedly, she met her here again today.
Song Xin arranged for several women to get on the bus and came over to thank her: "Thank you very much for this girl's generous help. I'm Song Xin. I couldn't ask her name before. I don't know what to call her?"
The woman pursed her lips and seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "My... my surname is... Hou, and my name is Zhao..."
Song Xin felt a little strange, why he hesitated to say his name. .
A trace of doubt flashed in Wei Tong's eyes, and he asked, "Is the girl going to Xudu?"
The woman looked at Wei Tong and lowered her head, "That's right, I'm here to visit."
"I don't know which family it is, why don't we take you to find it?" Wei Tong said.
"Oh... no... I'll just find it myself..." The woman obviously hesitated and said in a low voice.
At this time, Wei Yitong, who had calmed down from the shock, bowed to the woman and said, "Thank you so much for your sister's generous action, otherwise we would all be harmed by these villains. If my sister can't find a place for her relatives to live, she can stay at our house first, and we can help her go there." inquire about."
A hint of surprise and emotion flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still declined: "Isn't this inconvenient?"
Wei Yitong saw that she actually wanted to go, so he stepped forward, gently took the woman's hand and said, "Today, the girl will go back with me. We must thank her for saving her life."
Wei Shu also came out of the car, pulled the woman's sleeve and said, "Good sister, you must come to my house. Shu'er must thank you."
The woman originally wanted to refuse, but there was an unsatisfactory growl in her stomach. She felt embarrassed and her ears flushed. Wei Yitong smiled, took her hand and walked towards the carriage.
But Hou Zhao stopped and said, "I still have horses, which are hidden in the forest."
Wei Tong said softly: "You go sit in the car and eat something, and we will help you take the horse back."
Song Xin nodded and set off to find horses in the forest. When he came back, he was stunned.
I saw a large group of cavalry stopped in front of me. Dozens of strong knights were sitting majestically on the horses, protecting the leader. He was wearing hunting clothes and carrying a bow and arrow. It was actually Cao Pi who was going on a hunting trip with his family.
Song Xin hurriedly went over to salute. Cao Pi already knew about the Three Saints Sect's robbery of Wei Tong's family and was comforting him. When he heard that Hou Zhao sacrificed his life to save others, he admired him greatly.
Cao Pi ordered a banquet to be arranged by the Wei River to calm their shock. When they arrived at the Jishui River, the female relatives went to change their clothes. They had just experienced so many changes, and their bodies, faces, and hair were already full of dust.
Soon after, Hou Zhao came out accompanied by Ajiang. At this time, she had changed into a decent set of white dark clothes. She had a graceful figure and a waist like a willow. The hair was also carefully combed and draped neatly on the back of the head.
Song Xin couldn't help but be stunned. This sister was really good-looking. She had to dress like that for the convenience of traveling. When Cao Pi saw this woman's appearance, he was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that she was actually a rare beauty.
Wei Tong met Hou Zhao and laughed.
He smiled and said, "It turns out that the girl is also a wonderful person. At first, we all thought that the girl was from outside the Great Wall. Judging from her temperament and charm, she must be a girl from my Han family."
Hou Zhao bowed his head and said, "Thank you, General and Young Master, for saving my life. If you hadn't arrived, Hou Zhao would not have escaped his misfortune." At this time, she was polite and elegant, just like she had just said when she was fighting with the thieves. If two people.
Wei Tong was also surprised and quickly returned the gift. At the same time, he realized that with such a polite upbringing, she was definitely not a girl from a poor family.
Cao Pi laughed and said, "This girl is young, but she has a chivalrous spirit. Cao admires her."
Hou Zhao looked at Cao Pi and asked softly: "I wonder what I should call this young master?"
After Wei Tong introduced her, Hou Zhao realized that the fat young man in front of him with fair face was actually Cao Pi, the eldest son of Prime Minister Cao.
During the banquet, everyone was chatting lively. Hou Zhao became familiar with everyone, and his words were not so reserved. At this time Feipeng asked: "Sister Hou, what kind of relatives are you looking for in Xudu?"
When Hou Zhao heard this, he became hesitant again, "I...I..."
Wei Tong saw that she seemed to have unspeakable difficulties, so he said, "Girl, you can tell her directly, and Wei will definitely help her."
At this time, Cao Pi saw Hou Zhao's hesitation and said, "Girl was so frightened today that she ate some hot food. If you don't want to say it, just say it slowly in the future."
"Yes, yes, you see Wei Moumou is really impatient, hahaha. The young master is still attentive." Wei Tong picked up the wine cup and toasted Hou Zhao.
Hou Zhao seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mr. Cao, thank you, Captain." She felt that Cao Pi was thoughtful and gentle, and she immediately liked him very much.
During the dinner, Wei Tong asked, "Miss Hou, judging from your accent, do you come from Bingzhou?"
"I'm not from Bingzhou, but I grew up there, so I have an accent."
Cao Pi raised his eyebrows, "Oh, that's it. Was your ancestor an official?"
Hou Zhao hesitated for a moment and then nodded, but had no intention of saying more. Cao Pi smiled and said, "Okay, today I'm here to calm down a few of you. Seeing as I've asked so many questions, if you have anything to do in the future, please feel free to come see me."
Hou Zhao's eyes lit up, he pursed his lips and nodded. Song Xin noticed a trace of moved tears flashing in her eyes. Suddenly she stood up, came to Cao Pi, and knelt down again.
Cao Pi was taken aback and quickly stood up to help her, "What do you mean, girl? Just say what you want."
Song Xin and others were also surprised as to why Hou Zhao would do such a thing. Hou Zhao looked at the people serving the banquet around him, as if he swallowed the words he spoke. Cao Pi understood and retreated, leaving only Wei Tong and Song Xin present.
At this time, Hou Zhao suddenly knelt down and said, "Sir, Hou Zhao is guilty."
