When I heard the rushing sound of horse hooves behind, I thought of the killer. I imagined myself as a killer, and what actions I would take, I came up with a countermeasure. So I squatted on the cart, pretended to be in a sitting position, held the dagger tightly, and caged it in a wide sleeve.

Although the moonlight is very bright, the night is hazy after all. The killer is very good at martial arts and is not prepared for me at all. Therefore, he is not prepared for me at all, nor does he observe my different driving postures.

The killer was indeed not as expected. Even the posture of the knife was exactly the same as I imagined. So when he took the knife, I jumped a few feet above him. Not only did I avoid his fatal knife, but I also landed on his back and sent the dagger from his back into my heart.

This seven-inch dagger is very sharp and can be described as cutting iron like mud. It is inserted into the bottom without any obstacle until the hilt of the knife. The killer fell without saying a word under such a sharp weapon."

Huang Ziqiong sighed and said, "Son, this dagger was used by your father for your self-defense, and of course it is a treasure. I am so happy that you have this kind of mind."

While having breakfast, after passing a small town, Wei Jie took out a thirty taels of silver notes for cash, bought a large turquoise horse feed, and bought some food, filling the water-filled skin bag with water.

Wei Jie didn't like to stay in the town, so he drove a carriage before resting after leaving the town. People ate their meals and horses ate food. After eating, Wei Jie led the horse to drink enough water in the stream, asked passers-by about the road to Zhongnan Mountain, and set off again.

In a place where there is no one, Wei Jie asked his mother: "Mom, now tell me about the enemy's affairs. I need to know in order to come up with a solution."

Huang Ziqiong sighed faintly and said, "Son, you are fifteen years old, and you have some thoughts to tell you.

My mother's family is a tenant from your father's family. She cultivates his family's 50 or 60 acres of fertile land every year. One year, when there was a drought, only half of the harvest in the fields. Your father was kind-hearted and ordered that our family be exempted from rent for the year. He also came to our house in person to provide disaster relief and gave me ten taels of silver.

Your father sat in our house for a while, and I was ordered by your grandfather to offer tea to your father. He became fascinated when he saw me. He wanted to take me as his concubine, but he was afraid that our family would misunderstand that he was entitled to repay kindness, so he didn't say it.

Unexpectedly, your father's wife died of illness this year, so she asked our family to ask me to re-string him. Our family was very grateful to your father and agreed without saying a word. I also had a heroic plot. I admire your father as a general with outstanding martial arts and is willing to do so.

After I married into the Wei family, I gave birth to you at the end of the second year. When your father was six months old, the border was full of war, and he was summoned to fight on the battlefield.

The smoke from the border has not been extinguished these years. Your father has not returned home for four or five years when he went to the border.

His ex-wife gave birth to a son named Wei Hu, who is one year older than me. I am thirty-four years old, Wei Hu is thirty-five years old, and your father is 56 years old.

I married into the Wei family at the age of seventeen and gave birth to you at the age of nineteen. After giving birth to you, Wei Hu secretly plotted against you and my mother and son. He was afraid that you would share half of the Wei family's property, and even more afraid that your father would pass on the title of the general to you in the future.

Later, after knowing your talent for martial arts, you become even more thorny in his eyes and thorn in his flesh.

Wei Hu is determined to get rid of you. If you don’t die for a day, he will be in peace all day.

Wei Hu is the eldest son of the Wei family, and he is the one who decides the family affairs, and almost all the people in the general's mansion are his people.

When we lived in the General's Mansion, it was so easy and convenient for him to murder you.

Once I ran into the Yao Mama who brought you, and covered your mouth tightly with a wet towel. Your face was so purple. I suddenly bumped into the Yao Mama and explained to me stammeringly: "Madam, the young master's nose is running a lot, I'll wipe it."

I was so angry that my hands trembled: "You...you, I tell the eldest master to go."

I told Wei Hu, and Wei Hu said lightly: "She is not as brave as the young master who is so brave enough to murder the general. You are thinking too much about stepmother. Of course, you don't like her, so you'll change it tomorrow."

Wei Hu's attitude surprised me. I thought for a long time and thought a lot before I slowly figured it out. In fact, Old Woman Yao did it according to his order. I was shocked and scared, so I became wary.

The next day, Wei Hu really changed you a maid named Qi. Since the incident with Mrs. Yao and his attitude, I dare not take it lightly. I changed to a new maid. I am also guarding against her. I will take you with you every day, never leaving them with me, and never giving them a chance to attack.

Wei Hu often uses excuses to send me away, but I want to bring you by my side no matter what.

Once I took you to play in the back garden. If you want to go there for convenience, let the maid take a look for me.

I was not at ease with anyone in the Wei Mansion, and I was also in a hurry to untidy it. After untiing my hands, I lifted my pants and left. When I walked to the place where you were playing, I happened to see the maid pushing you into the pool. I rushed into the pool with one step and lifted you up and held you onto the shore.

You were so scared that you cried loudly, which scared everyone in the mansion. The maid had no chance to take action.

But my feet slipped and slipped into the depths of the water, and the water in the pool passed over my head. I couldn't do water, so I choked several times and almost drowned.

Fortunately, I kicked backwards at the bottom of the pond and rushed forward five or six feet. When I reached the shallow water, my head hit the wall of the pond and my feet landed on the ground.

I knew I was coming to the side, so I stood up. The water was only waist-deep, so I climbed up the shore.

This incident alarmed the entire General's Mansion. After all, there were still some people who sympathized with me and spread the matter outside, which even caused a sensation outside. Wei Hu was afraid that someone would tell your father about this one day. He had to give up the Che Baoshuai and kill the maid.

The maid was killed by Wei Hu, but everyone knew in their hearts that the maid had no grudges and a four-year-old child, so why did it do this thing that was punished by God? Of course, it was instructed by Wei Hu.

I often have nightmares in the future, dreaming of someone murdering our mother and son. I have killers around me, so how could I guard against so many things? It’s like living in hell, living like years in the general’s mansion. No, I have to leave the general’s mansion and stay away from these demons.

I only lived with your father for two years. After your father fought, the financial power of the general's mansion also fell into Wei Hu's hands. I didn't have much money, and my life would be very difficult, but I made up my mind to support you even if I beg, and I must never die in Wei Hu's hands.

I made up my mind to escape. On the Qingming Festival, I took you out for a spring outing with you, with all my savings - one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and led you, who was five years old, and escaped from the city with one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

I spent ten taels of silver to buy the current horse and a carriage in a small town outside the city, and fled day and night to more than 600 miles from the General's Mansion. It was the Lancao Village where we lived for nine years. I built two simple thatched huts, and the mother and son settled down."

Wei Jie understood it and found that he had a half-brother. The person who tried every means to kill him was his brother. The killer he had sent last night was also the one who killed him. Wei Jie admired his mother's agility, ability, decisiveness and insight.

Wei Jie asked curiously: "Has my father never returned home in the past nine years, and hasn't sent anyone to find us mother and son in the past nine years?"

Huang Ziqiong: "I don't know if your father has returned home. I heard that the border wars were not as frequent as those in the three or four years of your birth. Although they are still fighting intermittently in recent years, they are just small wars.

Your father should have been back. It is unknown what he thought about us running away from home and how Wei Hu explained it.

But I know very well that Wei Hu is the man. The elderly in the General's Mansion say that the Wei Mansion is like his biological mother and not like your father at all. He can write a plot about our affairs and tell your father that your father will not doubt it.

I guess your father thought we were dead, otherwise he would not have been able to find us if he had sent someone to find us with his power."

Wei Jie: "Wei Hu didn't look for us later, so how did he find us now?"
