Chapter 1 Wedges
The wind was strong and it was raining and snowing.

The black golden dragon flag symbolizing the Dakang royal family was tattered in the wind and snow.

The thin snow did not hide the black armor, and the drizzle washed away the blood. The light white, heavy black and bright red looked like a purgatory on earth.

In the wind and snow, a cavalry of more than a hundred people walked from far to near.

These people were wearing dark brown clothes, as if they had been driving for a long time, and the horses were soaked and tired, walking with muddy hooves.

The tall, slender and slightly thin boy at the front jumped off his horse and shouted: "Check again at the end."

"Yes!" More than a hundred people shouted.

Soon, more than a hundred people looked at the corpses one by one at an extremely fast speed.

The drizzle and snow gradually turned into heavy snow, and the black armor and blood color were quickly covered up by the white snow.

One person stood up and shouted: "There is a child here, he is still alive."

The crowd gathered around upon hearing the sound.

White snow falls like feathers one after another.

A shivering little girl lay curled up in the arms of the black-armored soldier, looking at the men in raincoats who were surrounding her with horror.

Look carefully, the black-armored soldier is a woman.

The little girl's black cotton-padded coat and hat were covered with snow, her little face was red, and her eyes were round with fear.

The boy slowly knelt down and stretched out his hand towards the little girl.

The little girl tightly grasped the stiffened hand of the black-armored woman and turned a blind eye to the boy.

The young man squinted at the increasingly heavy snow and ordered: "You continue to investigate!"

Everyone dispersed.

The boy moved and squatted beside the little girl, unfolded his raincoat and covered the little girl and asked in a warm voice: "What's your name? How old are you?"

The little girl looked up at the boy. Her big eyes were dark and clear, with two snowflakes falling on her slender and slightly trembling eyelashes, like a frightened elf.

"Don't be afraid. We are an army aiding Kang. We won't hurt you. Can you tell me now?"

The little girl remained silent.

The young man frowned: "Little sister, listen to me, you will freeze to death if you stay here. Come with me, I will keep you safe."

The little girl held the black-armored woman's hand tightly as if she couldn't hear anything. She leaned over and pressed her face against the cold hand, slowly closing her eyes.

"Little sister?" The young man reached out and patted the little girl's shoulder. Seeing that she was motionless, he couldn't help but shake her hard. "Little sister, wake up, you can't sleep!"

"Young Master!" Someone came back and said, "The investigation has been completed, there are no survivors."

The young man reached out to pick up the frozen little girl, gently opened the little girl's hand holding the black-armored woman, and ordered: "Get out first!"

"My father was so beautiful when I was little. No wonder your imperial grandmother liked you so much." His father lifted her up high with his eyes full of love. He didn't see his father many times, but every time he was so warm.

"Shaohua, don't eat any more sweets!" Her mother's serious expression made her cry aggrievedly. Her mother was wearing a beautiful dress and her body was warm and fragrant.

His father held her crying in his arms, pinched her little face and pretended to be serious: "Eating too much sugar will make you ugly. Shaohua, are you willing to become ugly?" She pointed her little finger at the golden dragon on her father's chest and cried: " Don’t be ugly, don’t be ugly.”

One day, my mother changed her brocade clothes into armor, and her pink brocade skirt into a black cotton coat.Then she was thrown by her mother to a couple herding cattle. "Shaohua, remember, they will be your parents from now on." She shouted desperately to her mother, but the couple hugged her tightly and watched her mother ride away.

Later, the adoptive parents went out to herd and never returned home.She wandered alone in the mountains for several days and nights before she saw the familiar Dakang Emperor flag and the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains.

She actually found her mother in the pile of corpses. When she saw her mother, all her thoughts and fears disappeared. She lay in her mother's arms and slept for a long time. She felt as solid as a child and never wanted to wake up. .

The tent with burning charcoal fire isolated the coldness of the ice and snow outside.

After waiting all day and night, the little girl finally opened her eyes and looked around with surprise.

"Are you awake?" the young man asked softly, "Don't worry, no one will hurt you here."

The little girl's eyes focused on the boy's face.

The boy is about thirteen or fourteen years old. He is like lotuses in the snowy mountains, dew on the lotus, and clouds in the sky. He has the most beautiful appearance in the world. His smiling eyes are more like the brightest star on a cold night and the warmest sun in winter. Like the most doting eyes of a father.

"Don't be afraid!" The young man held the slightly steaming medicine bowl, "I will protect you. You will be well soon if you take the medicine carefully."

The little girl opened her mouth obediently and drank the medicine.

After drinking the medicine, the little girl fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, the little girl was lying on the boy's back, and the boy was riding on the horse. The two of them were wrapped in thick cloaks, and wide and soft belts tied them tightly together.

"There is a village over there! Send her there!" a cold voice ordered. "She is still sick!" The young man reined in his horse and squeezed the little girl's arm, "Wait until she is completely recovered."

"This is an order!" The cold voice could not resist, "Liang Ren may counterattack at any time, it is not safe for you to take her with you!"

"I don't care!" The boy grabbed her wrist and insisted, "Wait until she is completely recovered."

"You!" The cold voice was filled with anger, "Stay here and protect him! When will you send him away and when will you join the army again! That's it! No need to join up! You can escort him back directly! He is suitable for the family like this. Stay!"

The little girl turned her head slightly. In the ice and snow, a broad figure in gold armor rode away in front of her, and then a group of people in silver armor chased after her.

"Young Master!" A silver-armored soldier stepped forward to persuade him, "The general is really angry. It's really not safe for you to take her with you like this."

"I don't care!" the young man said angrily, "I'll just take her with me! At worst, I'll take her home, but I can't leave her behind anyway!"

"The general has said, let us protect the young master back!" Another silver-armored soldier stepped forward, "We will go back! Just take the young master with you if you want! Even the young master will not abandon the kittens and puppies. , let alone an individual!”

The boy raised his voice, "Then go back!"

The young man led a guard of more than a hundred people and walked day by day in the snow.

At sunset, the horse team had run out of the ice and snow.

Set up camp in the dry grass.

"Are you okay?" The boy looked at the little girl and asked while eating.

The little girl clenched the dry food in her hand and looked at the boy with her big flashing eyes full of uneasiness.

"The doctor said that your fever was so severe that you became aphasic. When you are fully recovered, you will be able to speak. Can I take you home? If you are okay, just nod! Don't worry, my wife is very good. of!"

The little girl looked at the boy and nodded slowly.

"Okay!" The young man smiled, like an epiphyllum blooming and a snow lotus spitting its pistil. "In three to five days' journey, we will be leaving Kang. Don't worry, we'll be fine."

"Young Master!" A silver-armored soldier rushed into the tent, "Retreat quickly! If there are enemies, kill them on sight! Hurry! We will protect you and break out!"

"Who is it?" The young man stood up instantly, "Liang Ren can't be here!"

"You can't tell! They are wearing night clothes, they look like dead warriors or killers! Anyway, they are coming with bad intentions, young master, please retreat first!"

"Go and have a look!" The young man grabbed the sword.

"Young Master!" The silver-armored soldier stopped, "There are only a few dozen, but they are all desperadoes. Young Master, please do not take any risks! This little sister is still sick! Take her and leave quickly! It will be too late if it is later!"

The boy grabbed the sword, glanced at the little girl, gritted his teeth and reached out to her: "Let's go! I'll take you away!"

The young man pulled the little girl and quickly climbed onto the horse, surrounded by the sound of weapons clashing.

"Young Master, this way!" The silver-armored soldier led the way.

A dozen silver-armored soldiers surrounded the young man and rushed out of the killing circle.

"Shaohua!" A clear voice sounded, "Is that you? Please call my aunt!"

"Did I call you?" The young man leaned into the little girl's ear and asked as he ran.

The little girl curled up and grasped the stirrup ring tightly, shaking her head vigorously.

Although she was young, she knew that her mother and aunt were at odds with each other.My aunt is married to Uncle Wang. Every time Uncle Wang comes, my father will be unhappy.Every time my aunt comes, my mother is also very angry. She has hated her since she was a child.

"Auntie is here to save you! Stop!" The voice got closer and closer.

"Quick!" The boy patted the horse's neck, "Run!"

The horse galloped out in a hurry and did not choose the road.

The cold wind in her ears and the strange shadows in the dark night before her eyes frightened the little girl who was surviving the disaster. Only the warmth of the boy's arms behind her, like her father's arms and her mother's arms, made her feel at ease.

"Stop!" My aunt's voice was coercive, "Don't force me to do it!"

As she was galloping, she felt a chill behind her. The young man was knocked off his horse, and she was lifted up and thrown down heavily. The next moment, she fell into the cold ice river.

The body hit the thick ice, making a series of cracking sounds.

"Don't be afraid!" A familiar voice sounded, "I'm here!"

In the night, the ice surface was filled with cold air, and the boy crawled towards the girl with difficulty. Every move was accompanied by the sound of cracking ice.

The sound of cracking ice made the little girl ignore the pain in her body and slowly stretched out her hand towards the boy.

The moment their hands touched, the river surface cracked, and the boy and the little girl fell into the cold and biting river water together with large pieces of broken ice...
