"I picked this horse especially for you. Zei is meek! Don't be afraid!" General Zuo patted the shiny horseback.

"But... it looks terrible..." Lin Xiaocha looked at the little red horse, her small fists tightened and her whole body was tense.

"Come, come. Look, step on here." He shook the stirrup, then stepped on the stirrup and jumped on the horse. "Look. It's that simple."

Lin Xiaocha's delicate face was about to twist and water misting her eyes, "My legs are so short. I can't step up."

"Your legs are not short. Although you are not tall, the upper half is short, but your legs are much longer than ordinary people's legs. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You can go up." General Zuo comforted her.

Han Yu shifted his gaze to Lin Xiaocha. Indeed, she was not tall, but her legs were quite long.

"I'm here. You will be okay." General Zuo patted his chest.

"Okay." Lin Xiaocha said helplessly.

As soon as she stepped on the stirrup, General Zuo hurriedly shook her head.

"You can't step on your heels. You can only step on the sole of your feet, in case you annoyed the horse and your feet get stuck inside, it might drag you on the ground. There was a soldier before, and his face was torn out."

Lin Xiaocha covered her ears, "Stop talking."

"Okay, I won't say anything. Try to step on it with the sole of your feet."

Seeing Lin Xiaocha stepping on the stirrups, she couldn't get up. General Zuo felt more anxious than fighting. Sweat oozes from his forehead.

He protected her with his arms. In case she fell, he could catch her.

And Han Yu on the side looked at General Zuo coldly.

Seeing that Lin Xiaocha was about to fall into the arms of General Zuo, Han Yu's brows couldn't help but fold. When he was about to turn his head and stop looking, Lin Xiaocha managed to get on the horse.

She was overjoyed, "I did it!"

General Zuo gave her a thumbs up, "Great."

Then he rubbed his palm and sighed, "Awesome, awesome."

Han Yu's expression was gloomy. He was about to turn to the beginning, too lazy to look at them, but he found that Lin Xiaocha turned her head and looked at him. Under the sun, she was laughing as bright as a flower, making the coldness on his body seemed to disperse.

But his face was still cold, and he said lightly, "Let's go."

Before Lin Xiaocha could speak, General Zuo said, "It won't work. She can't ride a horse. There might be an accident on the road."

Han Yu looked at him, turning his face, he asked him word per word, "Then how are we going?"

When he looked at him with cold eyes, General Zuo, who had been on the battlefield, shuddered unexpectedly.

Compared to the fierce rough guys around him, the man on the horse is just a little handsome scholar, but why did he feel a little dizzy when he looked at him?

The invisible sense of coercion made him breathless.

But he was impatient and straightforward, and he said directly, "Riding can't be learned at once. I see that Chief Immortal is eager to get on the road. I can take Xiaocha on my horse and teach her while riding. I will send you out of the city and come back."

Han Yu: Chief Immortal...?

Han Yu turned her gaze towards Lin Xiaocha with chills, but she didn't notice it at all, and said to General Zuo, "Brother, you are so kind."

Han Yu's eyes were sharp again.

If they ride on the same horse, they will inevitably come into contact with each other. At this time, General Zuo was dressed in civilian clothes, not separated by a layer of armor like last time.

When General Zuo was about to get his horse, he heard a cold voice like an early spring, "Men and women should keep a distance." General Zuo, who stepped on his saddle, was stunned and a little embarrassed.

Lin Xiaocha said, "Xianjun, I already recognize the general as my elder brother."

Han Yu let out a cold breath.

Brother?

This military commander didn't treat her as a sister.

But she was stupid.

"Brothers and sisters should also avoid suspicion."

Besides, what kind of brothers and sisters are you?

Lin Xiaocha's eyes were much dim, and she said helplessly, "Xianjun, but I really don't know how to ride a horse."

"Come down." He didn't look at Lin Xiaocha but looked straight ahead.

"Huh?"

"I'll ride with you." He said lightly.

General Zuo: ???

"Really?" Lin Xiaocha's eyes lit up, and she staggered over and got off the little red horse.

She walked up to the Hanyu horse and looked at him with her chin up, "Xianjun, should I sit in the front or the back?"

"Behind."

Lin Xiaocha was a little regretful, but at least she achieved her goal of riding a horse with him.

She just sat firmly on the horse. Han Yu kicked his horse's belly and left.

Lin Xiaocha exclaimed and hugged his narrow waist tightly.

General Zuo, who was frozen in place: ????

Didn't he say that men and women should keep a distance?

Han Yu slowed down until he was far away from General Zuo.

But Lin Xiaocha still stuck to his back, making his back numb.

"Let go." His voice was darker than usual.

Lin Xiaocha said nervously, "Okay, but you don't go so fast suddenly. I'm afraid of falling..."

Han Yu: ...

"Okay."

Lin Xiaocha slowly left his back.

Han Yu remembered what happened before, and his face turned cold, "You said Feng Ziying is wise?"

The system said in a hurry, [I just told you not to be greedy, but you have to hook up with Feng Ziying. Now, you should deny it as soon as possible. ]

Lin Xiaocha did not listen to the system's proposal and said to Han Yu, "Yes."

System: [!!!]

Sure enough, Han Yu no longer speak, his whole body shrouded in a layer of chill.

In the eyes of the world, most people who praise Feng Ziying are treacherous villains who are good at flattering.

The system sighed in Lin Xiaocha's mind.

Lin Xiaocha continued, "I think if you always say that a person is bad, he will simply get worse and worse. If you praise him, he will get better and better."

System: [??? Host, can you reverse right and wrong like this?]

Actually, Lin Xiaocha's words are true because she reads in a book that language is magical. When it is said, it contains energy, which could change a person.

"I told the City Lord that he was wise because I also hope that he can become such a person. If he really becomes better, the people of Dongling City will not be so miserable. I didn't expect that he really agreed to serve porridge and would stop arresting labor to repair the Vermilion Terrace. He also allowed me to change the reward into winter clothes to donate to the refugees..."

Lin Xiaocha and the system felt that the chill had disappeared, so she continued, "Xianjun, don't you think I was right? ? "

Han Yu did not answer.

The two horses had already left the inner city of Dongling City. As soon as they left the inner city, they saw the refugees scrambling to register to repair the Vermillion Terrace.

In their eyes, they saw the hope for survival.

It seemed to confirm what Lin Xiaocha said just now.

Han Yu's indifferent eyes softened, and he whispered, "Yes."

The heart and insight of this little girl were far beyond his expectation.

However, his voice was drowned in the noisy street. The corner surrounded by many people was extremely noisy.

Lin Xiaocha poked her little head from behind Han Yu to find out.

She saw a group of refugees gathered around a woman holding her head and squatting in the corner.

The refugees spit on her while throwing the dirt on their hands to her.

From her explicit clothes and plump figure, Lin Xiaocha thought it was probably Tao Ji who used to be next to Feng Ziying.

Because she offended Feng Ziying in the banquet, she was thrown back to the refugees.

It was also because she had not only forgotten her roots, but she also helped Feng Ziying to abuse people. Now she is in trouble, and everyone was shouting and beating her.

At this time, the refugees suddenly discovered Lin Xiaocha.

The people surrounding Tao Ji stopped paying attention to Tao Ji and surrounded Lin Xiaocha.

"Girl! Are you going?" They rushed over, blocking the way.

"Don't go."

Her "deeds" spread like wildfire in Dongling City.

Whether it was a refugee who was precarious or a civilian who was afraid of being caught for labor, they are all grateful.

Reluctant to part with her.

Tao Ji, who was embarrassed in the corner, slowly raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaocha, who was immediately surrounded and flattered. This sharp contrast made her resentful.

Without Lin Xiaocha, she wouldn't be disgusted by the City Lord so quickly. Now, she occupied the toilet but did not shit. She actually wanted to leave Dongling City!

A weak woman holding a child squeezed out of the crowd. It was the mother and daughter that Lin Xiaocha replaced on the day of the sacrifice.

She put down the girl and pulled her to kneel towards Lin Xiaocha, crying and thanking.

Lin Xiaocha immediately got off her horse, pulled her mother up, and picked up the kneeling child.

"Don't do that."

The girl was very thin, and her bones hurt Lin Xiaocha's hands. She wiped her dirty face with her sleeve.

There was a ripple in the soft part of everyone's heart.

Lin Xiaocha sighed and muttered, "The world is not benevolent, and all things are as humble as a dog. When the lord is not benevolent, the people are the humble dogs."

Naturally, the refugees did not understand what Lin Xiaocha was talking about.

Han Yu asked, "Have you read a book?"

Lin Xiaocha turned her head and looked at him, "Does Xianjun think I look like a person who has read a book?"

Her expression was a little triumphant, but she was just right. He didn't think she was spoiled. On the contrary, she looked kind of cute.

There was a fleeting smile in Han Yu's eyes, and then it became faint again.

At this moment, a woman squeezed into the crowd before them knowing.

He threw himself down in front of the horse, slowly raising her face to at Han Yu on the horse.

This person is Tao Ji.

Lin Xiaocha guessed what she wanted to do, and her face sank.

She actually wanted to grab her project right in front of her?
