Chapter 52
The steed sneezed, because Li Xia hung the package containing the head around its neck, which made it very upset, and tried to get it off several times.

Li Xia stroked its mane and comforted it quite gently.

"Can't you just throw that head away?" Zhang Wenjing asked softly.

"I've already hung it up for you, don't push it too far."

Zhang Wenjing said with a pleading tone, "Can you throw it away?"

Li Xia glanced at her and smiled slightly.

The two looked at each other, Zhang Wenjing lowered her head, pouting her cheeks angrily, knowing that he had seen through her small thoughts.

It was certainly scary for her to have the head hanging there, and it was true that she cried out in fright.

But trying to get him to throw away the head actually had another purpose, but it failed...

"Why did you have to do something so cruel?" she asked.

"Why do you ask knowingly?"

"Okay." Zhang Wenjing whispered: "If you don't cut off China's head, the guards in my house will definitely destroy the corpse, right?"

"Ah."

"You brought the head, are you sure to make my family and the town guard an enemy?"

"Yes, I will hang it up when I get to the county seat ahead. I will show up with you again, and it will be spread to Mengren's ears that the guards next to Zhang's daughter killed China. As soon as the news comes out, no matter what Mengren believes. If you don’t believe me, things won’t go away.”

Zhang Wenjing said: "After that, will you kill me?"

"What did you kill you for?"

"Maybe...kill me and fall to Mengren?"

"Your family is not as stupid as the Meng people, and they know you are in my hands. Even if you die, they will find out who killed you." Li Xia said: "Instead, your family is in a passive position. You only need to 'have I can't say clearly 'that's fine."

After hearing this, Zhang Wenjing gradually became less flustered than she was at the beginning, and said in a low voice, "Then it's useless for you to take me with you, instead it's a burden. Can you let me go then?"

"No, I came to the north to do business, and I can contain Zhang's family with you."

"Containment? Do you have any companions?"

Li Xia said: "In short, you are useful. For example, when the time is right, throw you to the north to attract pursuers, and I can flee west."

Zhang Wenjing said: "But I feel that you are lying to me. Maybe you threw me to the north and let me watch you flee west. In fact, you fled north quietly again."

"Something like that." Li Xia said lightly, "Do you think you're smart? If you're really smart, you won't say it."

Zhang Wenjing curled her lips, feeling a little annoyed at being belittled by him like this.

"It's really hard work for you to do things like this. Why don't you send me back? My father is eager for talents and will definitely give you an official position. Wouldn't it be better than working for the cowardly Zhao Song court?"

"Do you want me to be a traitor too?"

"You said my father is a traitor."

Zhang Wenjing lowered her head, but spoke again with an aggrieved tone.

"You only see my father serving the Mongols, but you don't see that he ruled the Han land with Han laws, protected Han studies, promoted culture and education, and made the people live and work in peace...For more than a hundred years, the north was repeatedly ravaged by aliens. Taking care of our own enjoyment, until now, it is our Han people in the north who have worked hard to restore the Han family regulations in the Central Plains and bring vitality to the Northland.

What else?Instead of being attached to the king of Monan who promoted the Han law, is he attached to the small Zhao and Song courts in the south of the Yangtze River?Can it recover the mountains and rivers, make the Central Plains stable, and the Confucianism pass on?It's not that we haven't hoped for Master Wang's Northern Ding, but we've been looking forward to it, and looking forward to the knife that Fengboting killed Grandpa Yue, isn't it enough to wipe out the northerners' thoughts on the Zhao and Song courts?
What if you bother to get rid of my Zhang family?Who will govern Huaibei in the future?Is it enough to destroy the hard work of our northern Han people?From then on, let the Mongolians graze horses in the Central Plains again, and make Henan and Hebei a barren land again? "

Although Zhang Wenjing is a little girl, she probably has a little eloquence. She said earlier that the Northerners were abandoned by the Song court, and now she is talking about how they restored Han law and so on.

Li Xia was unmoved, and said, "Shut up, I told you not to make noise."

"It's not noisy, I told you well." Zhang Wenjing said softly: "Go and see my father, okay? Not only is he not a traitor, but he is protecting the Han people and the Han system. If you see past him..."

"Seeing him, can he still recruit me as his son-in-law?"

In a word, Zhang Wenjing finally shut up.

She became more and more annoyed, and she felt that she was so good-hearted, but she was treated lightly by this apprentice, so she was very angry.

In the end, she was so angry that she had no choice but to ignore him.

However, until late at night, it was she who spoke again.

"that……"

"Ok?"

"That...I..."

Li Xia didn't make it difficult for her, took out the embroidered shoes from the bag and put them on her, and then helped her waist to lift her down.

"Go."

Zhang Wenjing was full of embarrassment and wanted to scold something, but in the end she could only stomp her feet and carefully walked around behind the bushes.

She found that the rope binding her hands was not too short, and he was probably prepared for this situation... This was even more annoying, because I don't know what he was thinking about himself.

After rustling for a while, Zhang Wenjing came back with her head down, walked up to the horse, glared at Li Xia, and said, "Don't touch me, I'll go up by myself."

Before she could react, Li Xia lifted her onto the saddle, took off her embroidered shoes again and took them away.

"Do not touch me……"

Before Zhang Wenjing finished speaking, Li Xia ignored her and walked around behind the bushes.

Her face changed, she was ashamed and afraid.

When Li Xia came out again, he had already held a small tin flower in his hand.

He didn't speak, and put the tin flower on Zhang Wenjing's hair calmly, and led the horse away.

Both of them agreed tacitly not to mention how the tin flower fell.

Zhang Wenjing was a little disappointed when she saw her little trick was exposed, but she was also glad that he didn't get angry.

But thinking of how many times she has been slighted by him, she shed tears again...

~~
Fan Yuan and Zhang Yanxiong led people to search east and north for a whole night, but there was no clue.

When the sky was dim, they laid out a map by the side of the road. Fan Yuan looked at it and landed on the location of Luyi County.

"The little thief must have gone west. He cut off China's head. He must have taken it out in a crowded place. It should be Luyi. I should have thought of it. So, he still has to go to Ying Zhou, I was put on by him again..."

Zhang Yanxiong was so impatient, he didn't listen to Fan Yuan's analysis at all, and he didn't even care about Yingzhou, he just kept sending people to dispatch people.

"Transfer people! Transfer as many people as you can, and search for me in every possible place... Follow me to Luyi first!"

Zhang Yanxiong ran a few steps, turned his head and saw that Fan Yuan was still following, and said, "Fan is seriously injured, let's rest first."

"No, I have to get my eldest sister back."

In fact, Fan Yuan didn't even have the energy to blow his nose, so he kept wiping his sleeves.

The wind made his nose redder and his hair thinner, his face was so pale that he was about to faint at any moment.

But this time he was exhausted, and he had to find Eldest Sister Zhang before he died, and cut the little thief to pieces, so as to repay the Zhang family's kindness to him and reduce his hatred for the little thief.

But Zhang Yanxiong originally blamed Fan Yuan, thinking that it was a bad move to send Sister Zhang to Baozhou.

But if you think about it carefully, if sister Zhang hadn't left, who knows whether Chi Na would bring people into Zhang's residence?Once blood is seen in Zhang's mansion, things will probably get worse.

As for now, it's useless to say anything. There is only one thing that needs to be done right now, which is to get back the jewel in the palm of the Marshal...
