Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Come on! Come on!" Defang saw the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time saw Defang and ran over to help Defang and Brother Xiu back to the city.

"Chongming, where is Shan En?" Defang asked

"Return to Your Highness, they are all injured and are recovering now," the soldier replied

"What about General Hu and Captain Song?"

"Because they couldn't find His Highness when they came back, they went to the mountain to look for His Highness again."

"That's troublesome! Send someone to the mountain to find them immediately," Defang ordered

"Yes!" The soldier ordered to go

Brother Hugh rested in the city for 2 days and was able to get out of bed and walk around, so he found Defang and said, "I'm leaving, goodbye"

"Your injury is still not healed, you can't leave" Defang said with some orders

"I'm not your hostage! Even if you are an official, you can't hold me back." Brother Xiu was a little annoyed. He wanted others to know this and not be ridiculed, and besides, a dignified Song prince was in front of him. Caught and rescued by him.

"You are so strange! I saved you, and I didn't even say thank you, but you dare to speak to me so loudly." Defang said angrily, "Who wants to detain you! What kind of hostage! My Da Song will not be justified Detaining the people of the Liao Kingdom for no reason, good! You can go!" Defang flicked her sleeves angrily

Seeing this, brother Xiu turned around and walked out of the gate, and walked out of the city gate.

"Stop!" Defang chased after her

"What? Regret it?" Brother Hugh mocked

"Hmph! Who is as knowledgeable as you! Here!" De Fang stuffed something to Brother Hugh

Brother Xiu saw that it was his own little skin. This little skin was made for him by his mother. Before his mother passed away, he put a few strands of his own hair in it. Brother Xiu kept it with him all the time, which was very meaningful.

Brother Xiu looked up at De Fang who had turned and walked away.

"Wait" Brother Hugh called

"What are you doing!" Defang stopped and didn't look back.

Brother Xiu walked over, holding the small skin bag in his hand, and looked at De Fang

"Thank you." Brother Hugh seems to be very unaccustomed to say this sentence, a little blunt, but it can be felt that he said it sincerely

Defang turned around slowly, "It's really not easy, stones can also open up"

Brother Hugh and Defang looked at each other, and both of them smiled.

"Brother Ye, take care." Defang cupped her hands

"Take care, there will be a time later" brother Xiu said meaningfully, and took out an object and stuffed it into Defang's hand "for you"

Defang looked at it. It was a small wooden sculpture, like a pony, with the word "Xiu" on it.

"This is?" Defang was a little puzzled

"I carved it with my own hands last night. Your Central Plains text [Xiu] has the word Renmu. Let's make it a commemoration. Maybe one day you will be useful." Brother Xiu said

Defang looked at the little wooden horse, "Although I don't quite understand what you mean, but I will take this gift well." Defang said goodbye to Brother Xiu, and Brother Xiu returned to the border of Liao Kingdom alone through the small business road.

Hu Shoujiang and Song Jiajun also returned to the city, and sent messengers to report the attack back to the capital. After Taizong learned the whole story, he ordered a horse to be sent to the border to invite Defang to return to Beijing.
