Chapter 17
The silver bell-like laughter of several people echoed in the empty mountain. The laughter at this time was pure without any impurities, which made the small animals in the mountain jump up and down excitedly.

They stayed on the mountain all morning before they reluctantly went down the mountain to go home. After sending Xia Ke back to her house, Xia Zijin and Xia Zijin returned to their home together hand in hand.

Unexpectedly, the two of them just walked to a place not far from the door of their house, but they saw a crowd of people standing outside their door, and all of them were riding horses with swords hanging from their waists.

Xia Ziran was talking to one of the people who seemed to be the leader.

Xia Zijin had never seen such a big battle, and asked nervously: "What's going on? Why are there so many people in our house?"

Xia Changqing didn't answer Xia Zijin's question, but just held Xia Zijin's little hand tightly, his small body trembling slightly. If he didn't have a sliver of reason, he would have escaped here already.

Seeing that Xia Changqing didn't speak, Xia Zijin looked up at him in confusion, but found that his forehead was covered with sweat, and asked suspiciously, "Changqing, are you hot?"

Xia Changqing looked away from those people, then stared closely at Xia Zijin and said softly, "Zijin, promise me, even if I'm not around in the future, you should live happily every day and listen to your godfather."

"Not here? Why are you not here?" Xia Zijin hadn't noticed the change in Xia Changqing's expression after seeing those people until now.

Xia Changqing didn't explain much, just stretched out his hand and gently touched Xia Zijin's small head, and then said softly: "In the future, I will definitely come back to pick you up with your godfather, and then our family will never be separated again."

Before Xia Zijin could understand the meaning of Xia Changqing's words, Xia Changqing took her little hand and walked towards the door step by step.

When Xia Changqing appeared, all the people gathered at the door got off their horses and knelt down to salute Xia Changqing, "Your subordinates are waiting to see you, Master."

When facing those people, the tenderness on Xia Changqing's face immediately turned into indifference, and his tone was also extremely alienated and indifferent, "Get up."

"Thank you, Master."

At this time, the leader who was talking to Xia Ziran also came to Xia Changqing's side, and said excitedly: "Master, I finally found you. You don't know the days when you disappeared, and the master and wife are very worried."

"How do you know I'm here?" Xia Changqing didn't change his expression because of what the leader said, as if the person he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

"This subordinate also found out after many inquiries, young master, let's go home." After speaking, the leader was about to pull Xia Changqing's hand.

But Xia Changqing avoided him, and then said coldly: "If I don't go back, just pretend you didn't find me."

Although he knew that there was little hope, Xia Changqing still wanted to give it a try.

The leader obviously didn't expect Xia Changqing to have such a reaction, he was stunned for a while before he realized it, then knelt down on one knee and said firmly: "Please leave, young master."

Seeing this, the rest of the people knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Please leave, young master."

Xia Zijin had already been frightened silly by the battle in front of him, so Xia Changqing stopped him in a daze.

Although Xia Ziran had expected that someone from his relatives might have sent someone to look for him when those people came to inquire about Changqing just now, he was also very surprised to see this battle at this time.

Although he has never seen the big world, but at first glance, these people are well-trained people on weekdays, and they are definitely not what ordinary people can have, maybe they are high-ranking officials.
