On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, under the morning light, the Zhuozhou Army cavalry left and returned.

When they arrived outside Julu City, Liu Xuande saw a lonely figure waiting there, looking up eagerly.

"Call~" Liu Bei reined in his horse.

"Xi'er." Liu Bei turned his head and called back.

"Ah?" Behind Liu Bei, Li Mengxi's head emerged from his thick cloak and looked at Liu Bei with a puzzled look.

Liu Bei pointed to Li Mengxi the poor girl who had been waiting all night in the cold wind, and said to Li Mengxi, "You can take care of that girl."

When he said this, Liu Bei made eye contact with Guan and Zhang next to him with playful eyes, and the three of them laughed tacitly.

Li Mengxi had no idea about all this.

Li Mengxi stretched his neck and glanced at the girl who was waiting alone on the roadside. He thought for less than two seconds, "Okay!" Li Mengxi agreed.

"Then, go and take a look." Liu Bei urged, lifting Li Mengxi's collar and lifting Li Mengxi down with one hand.

Li Mengxi had no choice but to walk towards the girl.

When he got closer, Li Mengxi saw that the girl had been waiting all night in the cold wind. Her lips were blue from the cold, and there were frost flowers on her hair. She looked very cold at first sight.

"Where's my dad?" The girl trembled and hugged her shoulders, asking pitifully.

Li Mengxi stopped. He wanted to say a few white lies to deceive her.

But then I thought, lies can’t fool you for long, it’s better to tell the truth.

"Your father is dead." Li Mengxi said directly.

Then, Li Mengxi saw that the girl's eyes turned red instantly, her lips pursed, and tears immediately flowed down.

"Uh," Li Mengxi opened his mouth, (did he say it too harshly?) Li Mengxi reviewed.

Thinking that he should be comforted, Li Mengxi looked at the sad girl and comforted her thoughtfully, "Don't cry. Your father's head will fall off with just one blow of the ax. It won't hurt. Don't cry..."

It's okay not to comfort her. When Li Mengxi comforted her like this, the sobbing girl's eyes turned red, she squatted down and hugged her knees, and she cried even louder.

He failed to comfort the person well and even made him cry. Li Mengxi was extremely embarrassed.

After scratching his head and thinking for a while, Li Mengxi saw that the clothes the girl was wearing seemed a bit thin, so he took off the big cloak he was wearing.

Unfortunately, Li Mengxi was just concerned, and the cloak was too heavy to wear, so he didn't want to wear it anymore since he didn't have to go on the road.

When Li Mengxi held the cloak with both hands and walked to the girl's side, trying to clumsily put the cloak on the girl, the girl raised her head and looked at Li Mengxi's movements. She was a little panicked and wanted to dodge.

Li Mengxi spoke and said, "The weather is so cold that the water is frozen.

If you don't wear thick clothes, you will get sick. If you are not cured, you will die."

With that said, Li Mengxi put the cloak on the girl.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew straight into his neck. Li Mengxi couldn't help but shrink his neck because of the cold. "I'm freezing to death!" he bared his teeth and cursed.

Li Mengxi suddenly acted funny like a monkey, which made the girl giggle.

Li Mengxi looked around and met the girl with a slight smile and curved eyebrows.

Looking at each other, the girl's face turned red very quickly, and her face turned red as red as an apple.

Li Mengxi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled in his eyes, "Hahahaha!" Li Mengxi finally couldn't help laughing.

He just looked at the girl and laughed happily.

The girl's face turned redder.

Li Mengxi suddenly stopped. He looked at the girl seriously, raised his finger and pointed at the girl's nose, "You're crying with snot, it's ugly."

The girl's expression suddenly froze, and then a flash of shame and anger flashed across her face. The girl stomped her feet in shame and turned to leave.

Li Mengxi chased after him and asked, "What is your name?"

"I heard Zhang Jiao call you Ning'er, is your name Zhang Ning?"

The girl walked in front and said nothing.

Li Mengxi followed happily, and he caught up with the girl, walking side by side. He kept chasing her, "You are talking to me, your name is Zhang Ning, right?"

The girl stopped, turned around, looked at Li Mengxi, "Yeah." She hummed softly.

Li Mengxi looked at Zhang Ning seriously with his eyes wide open, and said in his heart, his name is indeed Zhang Ning.

Zhang Jiao indeed has such a daughter.

Li Mengxi felt that it was time to continue getting closer.

Then, Li Mengxi showed a big smile and said, "Then, I will call you Ning'er from now on..."

He only spoke half of his words. When Li Mengxi saw the face of the girl in front of him suddenly blushing again, Li Mengxi realized that what he said seemed inappropriate.

Zhang Jiao calls Ning'er, no problem, but Zhang Jiao is his father...

Realizing something was wrong, Li Mengxi quickly changed his words, "...Then, I will call you Sister Ning from now on." Li Mengxi said sweetly.

Zhang Ning smiled and blinked her beautiful eyes, "You are a military advisor, right? Your name is Li Mengxi, right?"

Li Mengxi looked at Zhang Ning in great surprise.

Huh? She knows my name.

Li Mengxi didn't know it yet, but Zhang Ning already knew about him.

The earliest one was in the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Ning saw Li Mengxi leading people to rescue women and children. Also, Zhang Ning heard a very nice poem in the women's and children's camp. Li Liyuan went to the grass, and he was prosperous every year...

The poem is very nice. I heard it was written by a young military advisor.

As early as that time, the figure of the high-spirited young man had already remained in the heart of the girl.

——

At the top of Julu City, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were leaning against the city wall, with their hands on their hands and their hands on the battlements. They poked their heads and looked leisurely at the two children outside the city who were chatting away from each other. These three people

He looks like a melon-eating crowd.

Not long after, Li Mengxi's younger brother Xiao Zhuan was picked up by the orderly soldiers aggrievedly. Xiao Zhuan asked Liu Bei, "Why hasn't my brother come back yet?" Xiao Zhuan asked aggrievedly, holding his tongue.

Liu Bei smiled, leaned down, picked up Xiao Bian and put it on his neck. He walked to the city wall. Liu Bei pointed to the outside of the city and showed Xiao Bian, "Brother, isn't he there?"

Xiao Bian was riding on Liu Bei's neck, holding Liu Bei's head, looking down with wide eyes, "It's my brother!" Xiao Bian was happy, "My brother is back!"

Liu Bei started to tease, "Brick," Liu Bei coaxed softly, "go to your brother and ask him if the girl is good-looking and okay?"

Xiao Bian tilted his head and thought about it seriously, "Okay!" Xiao Bian replied.

After that, Xiao Bian, who wanted to go and play with his brother, was taken down the city by the orderly soldiers.

Soon, Li Mengxi was chatting happily with Zhang Ning.

"Brother!" A childish and happy shout interrupted Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi turned around and saw Xiao Bian running over happily.

Li Mengxi introduced Zhang Ning with a smile, "This is my little brother."

While he was talking, Xiao Bian ran over, and like a locomotive, he hit Li Mengxi's leg hard, hit him hard, and hugged Li Mengxi's leg.

Xiao Bian hugged Li Mengxi's legs and refused to move. He was hanging on Li Mengxi's body like a koala. He raised his little head and looked at Zhang Ning with flickering eyes.

"Brother," Xiao Zhuan suddenly tugged on Li Mengxi's clothes.

"Huh?" Li Mengxi lowered his head.

Xiao Bian pointed at Zhang Ning with his little finger, his eyes wide open, and his face looked serious, "Brother, isn't she pretty?"

Li Mengxi subconsciously looked at Zhang Ning.

Li Mengxi looked at the shy girl with blushing cheeks, and grinned, "She's pretty."
