"Who are you?" Li Chengen looked at Zhao Hao warily, his eyes almost popping out.

When Zhao Hao saw him like this, he thought, could it be that he is a sister-con?

Fortunately, they heard the noise and the two of them had already cleaned up the mess.

Otherwise, if he saw that he and his sister were actually sharing a cloak, he would probably be furious.

"Who am I?" Zhao Hao was never intimidated by men. As he buttoned up the last button of his mink coat, he said, "Good question."

"Good question?" Li Chengen was stunned and said casually, "Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Li..." Li Mingyue was immediately furious when she saw her elder brother speaking to her savior like that, but when the words came to her lips, they automatically turned into gentle tones.

"Brother, please forgive me. Brother Zhao is my savior. If he hadn't saved me yesterday, you wouldn't have been able to see your sister."

"Ah? So that's how it is." Li Chengen looked ashamed upon hearing that, and hurriedly bowed to Zhao Hao and said, "So you are my sister's benefactor. Please accept my greetings, and my Princess Mansion will surely reward you generously."

"That's not necessary. I didn't save her for money." Zhao Hao couldn't help but be delighted when he heard that he was actually related to the Princess's Mansion.

He had heard that the Princess was the only sister of the Emperor, and had a very good relationship with the Emperor Longqing. She also had a very good relationship with the harem. Later, during the reign of Emperor Wanli, the two empresses took good care of the Princess, and still let her manage the imperial farm and store until Emperor Wanli came of age...

Such thighs are, of course, meant to be held tightly, not to be settled with just a sum of money.

Besides, Zhao Hao is still worried about how to spend the money given by his grandfather...

So he said to Li Chengen in a friendly manner: "Don't take your sister to play this kind of dangerous sports in the future."

"Uh..." Li Chengen thought, was it me who wanted to come? She insisted on skiing, and I followed her because I was worried, okay?

Although, I didn’t come here alone…

He was about to correct this wrong statement, but he was shocked to find his sister behind Zhao Hao, looking at him with a sneer. The warning in her eyes, which was enough to kill a donkey, was too obvious.

"It's my fault for having to pull her out." Li Chengen showed a strong desire to survive, silently took the blame and said, "My sister usually writes and draws at home all day, I want her to exercise so that she can be healthier..."

~~

When the guards had prepared the stretcher, Li Chengen and Zhao Hao helped Li Mingyue out of the shack, put her on the stretcher, covered her with a thick fur coat, and secured her, and asked the guards to carefully carry her down the mountain.

Li Chengen thanked Zhao Hao again and asked him where his home was so that he could send it back.

Well, it's 'it', not 'he'.

Li Chengen thought silently. When he heard that his sister and this boy had spent a night together in this small shack, the young master's heart was broken...

But then I saw a tall figure arguing with the guards of the Princess's Mansion at the foot of the mountain.

After seeing clearly that it was his elder brother Gao, Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "That's my man."

"Let him up." Li Chengen waved his hand, and the guards in brocade uniforms made way.

Gao Wu ran up with big strides, hugged Zhao Hao tightly, and then held him up in front of his eyes with both hands and looked him up and down.

After seeing that his young master was safe and sound except for some scratches, he put Zhao Hao down, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly:

"Sir, we deserve to die..."

Li Chengen's scalp tingled as he watched from the side. The fierce man was crying with snot and tears, and his appearance became more and more ferocious, almost scaring the baby to death.

Before Gao Wu said this, for at least ten breaths, only his movements could be seen but no words could be heard. Li Chengen even thought he was a mute.

After discovering that this fierce man was not mute, he felt that the scene just now was too weird...

"What does this have to do with you? It's just a natural disaster, force majeure." Zhao Hao smiled and comforted Brother Gao, and asked, "Is everyone okay?"

Gao Wu hurriedly shook his head, then organized his words silently.

Li Chengen, who was standing by, felt so uncomfortable, as if someone was strangling him.

"Everything is fine." After a while, the big man said in a muffled voice, "We searched all night last night, and only saw the fire here at dawn."

Gao Wu would not say that he had risked landslides and earthquakes yesterday, running back and forth in the valley twice, and that he did not see the light of fire until midnight. But it was pitch dark, and the more anxious he was, the harder it was to find the way over, and he had been wandering around until now.

"Where is everyone?" Zhao Hao asked.

"They are following behind us." Gao Wu said, turning around and saying, "Master, I will carry you down the mountain."

"No need." Zhao Hao was indeed too tired to walk, but he was now a man of status, so what would it look like to let Brother Gao carry him around?

Then he said, "Please find me a stretcher as well."

"No problem." Li Chengen nodded and asked his men to bring up the stretcher.

The stretcher was made from tent cloth and two ash poles. Although the waist lacked support, it was more comfortable to lie on than to be carried on someone's back, and more comfortable than to walk...

Gao Wu and a guard carried Zhao Hao down the mountain.

At this time, Zhao Shizhen and the men from Caijiaxiang finally arrived. When they saw Zhao Hao being carried down, they thought something had happened to him and naturally cried again.

"Uncle, what happened to you? Is your leg broken or your waist injured?" Zhao Shizhen cried and said, "Please don't get hurt. I haven't learned anything yet."

Zhao Hao was so angry that he wanted to slap him, but he felt severe pain in his joints all over his body. He thought that the young master might have a fever, so he closed his eyes and ignored them.

Fortunately, Li Chengen took the initiative to explain to them that Zhao Hao was fine, he was just too tired to walk. Gao Wu also nodded, and finally calmed down Zhao Shizhen and the group of old men.

~~

When they got down the mountain, Xu Yuanchun and others also rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw Li Mingyue being carried down, they had a similar reaction to Zhao Shizhen and others.

Xu Yuanchun, the young master of Xu family, burst into tears and said, "I almost didn't get to see the county lady's sister."

Li Mingyue was so annoyed that she wanted to kick someone, but when she thought of Zhao Hao who was still behind her, she couldn't do anything, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended not to see it.

At this time, Xu Yuanchun saw the guards from the Princess's Mansion again, and they were carrying someone down.

He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Who is this?"

Li Chengen explained: "This Mr. Zhao is my sister's lifesaver. Fortunately, he sacrificed himself to save Mingyue, so she is safe and sound."

Then he introduced to Zhao Hao: "This Mr. Xu is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty."

Zhao Hao thought to himself that he knew someone, the famous Xu Yuanchun.

He was going to sit up and activate his skill of 'Charming Men', but his body wouldn't obey him, so he could only force a smile as a greeting.

Hearing that he was the one who saved Li Mingyue, Xu Yuanchun's expression eased a little, and he nodded at him and said, "Mr. Zhao, right? You saved Mingyue, and I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

As soon as Zhao Hao heard it, he knew that he was expressing his gratitude openly but secretly warning the potential competitor that Li Mingyue was the girl that he liked and he should be sensible and not seek trouble for himself.

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes secretly, pretending not to understand his hint.

I'm still young and don't understand what you are thinking.
