After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

This winter seems to pass a little faster.

But in many people's hearts, they feel that this winter is extremely long.

For example, General Gou Zhong, who was madly chasing the Divine Guard.

For example, the prince Wu Qian who is restless in the East Palace with nothing to do.

It's also like Xiao Baozi riding a little black donkey in the mountains where the ice and snow have just melted!
After Xiao Baozi left Tianyin Pavilion, he took the way to Ningguo. She was going to Zhongli Garden in Chongqing Mansion, Shuzhou to get the female sword of Fuji Sword.

But she didn't expect that when she arrived at Wuya Mountain, she got the news that the female sword was lost.

It was Li Chenan who told her the news.

It was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 24th year of Zhaohua.

Wuya Mountain is covered with snow.

Xiao Baozi came to Wuya Mountain from Xiayuan Prefecture, but she didn't go through Wuya Pass, because she didn't know that Wuya Mountain had fallen into the hands of the Red Flame Army.

She entered Wuya Mountain, and that evening, at the great rift valley in Wuya Mountain, she saw a cluster of bonfires and smelled the aroma of barbecue in the snow.

She rode over on the little black donkey, and saw Hua Manting gnawing on a rabbit's leg with a mouth full of grease!

She laughed happily.

"Brother Hua?!"

Hua Manting's face froze immediately, he lifted his sleeves and wiped his mouth, then looked up at Baozi Xiao.

"...Miss Xiao, this old man is of the same generation as your mother!"

Sitting on the snow, Baozi Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled a rabbit's leg. She took a big bite and her cheeks bulged.

After a while, she swallowed the delicious rabbit meat, and then said: "One size counts for one size. If you are Chen'an's brother, then you will be my brother!"

"Brother Hua, why are you here?"

Hua Manting felt very uncomfortable.

I thought I was your father!

This father has become an elder brother... This mess is so out of order!
But what can he do?

Baozi Xiao only knew that her father was called Xi Wei, but the real Xi Wei had died a long time ago, how many Xi Wei are there in the world now?
Hua Manting himself couldn't figure it out.

She is obviously her own daughter, how can she have so many fathers?

This matter must find a way to let the daughter know that he is her real father!
"Oh... I came back from Wu country, saw that it was getting late, so I hunted two rabbits, and thought I'd spend the night here first!"

Xiao Baozi tilted his head to look at Hua Manting carefully, and grinned: "Brother,"

Hua Manting's heart hurts again!
"Chen'an said that you are a great scholar in Ningguo, but he doesn't seem to see that you are still a master of the rivers and lakes!"

"Brother,"

Hua Manting couldn't eat any more rabbit meat, couldn't swallow it down.

"I think you are quite mysterious, brother!"

Xiao Baozi tore another piece of rabbit meat, still staring at Hua Manting with his head tilted, and said with a smile:
"Since you regard Chen'an as a long-lost friend, he treats you with all his heart and soul...but you keep such an important matter from him..."

Baozi Xiao suddenly leaned over, looking at Hua Manting's old eyes by the raging bonfire:

"Brother,"

"I think your eyes are flickering!"

"Chen'an said to look at a person, just look in his eyes!"

"If his eyes are always dodging and he doesn't dare to look him in the face, it can almost be concluded that this person has a ghost in his heart...or is ashamed!"

"Brother,"

"Could it be that you have something else to hide from Chen An?"

Hua Manting felt even more uncomfortable, thinking that this was indeed true, the old man was one of Xi Wei, and the old man secretly helped Li Chenan, this little bastard, to do a lot of things!
But old man, isn't this for the betterment of you in the future?

The old man is indeed ashamed, but the one who is ashamed is not Li Chenan, but you!

Hua Manting felt bitter, but couldn't tell these things.

Xiao Baozi didn't take it seriously, and asked again with a smile:
"What realm are you?"

Before Hua Manting opened his mouth, Xiao Baozi seemed to find this old man quite interesting. She sat up straight and asked curiously, "What are you doing in Wu?"

Hua Manting pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Baozi, his eyes did not dodge any more.

Baozi Xiao asked a lot of questions, so he straightened it out and explained:
"Knowing kung fu, it's not that the old man deliberately hid it from Chen'an, it's because he never asked about it!"

"When the old man was with him, he mostly talked about his poems, or the laws of governing the country, and rarely talked about the affairs of the world, so whether the old man knows martial arts is not important to him. .”

"As for the realm of the old man,"

He smiled slightly: "This is not important to the old man."

Xiao Baozi obviously misunderstood what Hua Manting meant when he heard it.

She nodded, "That's right. You are a literati in the first place, so it's more suitable for you to write books."

"The martial arts are almost there, so let's just keep fit... I think you are in good shape, and you don't wear much in such a cold day."

"By the way, you definitely won't be able to cross this rift, and don't take risks. If you fall...you won't even be able to pick up the bones."

"I'll carry you there tomorrow morning, call you brother, eat your roasted rabbit meat, and I'll do you a favor by the way."

Hua Manting was stunned for a moment, then he nodded without saying thank you.

"Miss Xiao, where are you going?"

"Go to Shuzhou."

"What are you doing in Shuzhou?"

"Go get a sword."

"The female sword of Fuji Sword?"

Xiao Baozi's slender eyes were flat, "Hey, brother, you know quite a lot, you old Jianghu?"

Hua Manting pouted, "Don't go."

"What?"

"That sword is no longer in Zhongli Ruohua's hands!"

Baozi Xiao was startled, "Whose hands is that in?"

"I don't know, but I can be sure that someone is holding that sword, and I'm afraid they have gone to the Sword Cleansing Building!"

When Baozi Xiao heard this, he stopped eating rabbit meat.

"So...it's not good for Chen An if someone wants to enter Wangqing Terrace?"

She stood up suddenly, looked at the dark night, "No, I have to go to Xijian Tower as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Xiao Baozi whistled, and the little black donkey ran over quickly.

She turned onto the donkey and slapped the donkey on the buttocks. The little black donkey ran away, leaving Hua Manting in a mess in the snow.

"Hey Hey hey……"

"then……!"

Hua Manting threw the rabbit on the campfire over.

Xiao Baozi caught it, turned his head and threw him a sentence: "Brother...!"

"Actually, rabbit meat is not as good as dog meat!"

"No, didn't you say you were going to carry the old man over this cliff?"

Xiao Baozi waved his hand with his back to Hua Manting: "Brother, take care, I have to go and see my cow!"

Just like that, Baozi Xiao didn't go back to Ningguo to Shuzhou, she rode a little black donkey and ran towards Xijian Tower.

On the second day of February, she had already arrived in Dongxu City!
Along the way, she also heard a lot of news, knowing that the Red Flame Army had retaken Wuya Pass, and also knowing that an army from Ning State was rampaging in the territory of Wu State.

This army was called the Divine Guard Army, and she knew it was the army of Zhongli Mansion.

In this way, Zhongli Mansion also tried its best to ensure Chen'an's safety.

It's just... this army has led Wu's army to Jianshan, and the Jianshan will probably be in chaos by then!

Xiao Baozi didn't think too much, she entered Dongxu City in the evening of February [-]nd.

She had just gone in and hadn't taken two steps when she was stopped by an old man in a uniform.

"Hello Miss Xiao!"

"……Who are you?"

"Old man, Mr. Tu Er."

Xiao Baozi thought for three breaths: "I don't know."

"Isn't this acquaintance? The master asked the old man to pick up Miss Xiao and go to a place."

"Where?"

"Return to the Garden!" (End of this chapter)
