"My prince, you do not need to be panic, Uncle Duke will not eat people!" The girl did not seem to be one of the owners here, but she was very familiar with this lux residence.

The slaves and servants in the palace were half-baked, and some were on the upper body, very respectfully.

 The girl ran up to the door and shouted: "Uncle Li, the prince came here!"

A tall and strong man came in, his eyes liked a torch, his nose liked an eagle hook, his red beard liked submandibular steel needles; he had a felt hat, a waistband with a Tang-style belt, on which a knife, a small flint and other objects were hanged. The man took a solid step and entered the door. When he came to the old lady, intended to bow down to greet the old lady, Stone quickly evaded.

 "Forget it, don't scare the prince." The old lady quickly stopped the strong man, the man was not stubborn, straightened up, pulling the hand of the little girl who greeted him, looking at Stone, with a thick baritone said: "Are you the prince who cured and controlled my horse?" 

Stone "I am not a real prince, just because I can tell the story of the bragging king. People of my tribe gave me a nickname of Bragging Prince."

At this point, the servants brought a chair to Stone, and Stone sat down on the left side of the old lady, who asked him: "Okay, then you will continue to brag!"  

So Stone continued to say: "The situation is completely out of my expectations, even though I don't want to have such an ending: the wolf does not put my thin body in his eyes. It smashed through my body and rushed over to the horse, first grabbing the skin and then swallowing the entire buttocks of the poor animal. It's fear and pain, running hard. I just lived in this situation and unknowingly recovered my life, then quietly looked up and looked at it. I saw that the wolf was stepping forward. It was swallowing the horse's internal organs. When it happened to get the body into the horse's belly, I used my unique agility to pick up the whip in my hand and smash its skin. It was covered in the horse's belly. Sudden attacks, almost scared the soul out of the embarrassment; it had to go all the way, and the horse's body, then a good time, fell to the roadside, behold! Currently, in front of my carriage, the wolf actually replaced my horse. In order to revenge and hate, my whip kept screaming. I went straight to the Houjiaji at a meteor-like speed. The road was smooth and safe. Hey, completely beyond my expectations, I couldn't see there were any signs of surprise on the faces of my villagers, there was no expression of horror at all..."  

Duke Li's servants laughed happily, and the old lady couldn't help but wipe her tears with a handkerchief. The young girl also laughed and coughed up.

Stone stopped and waited for everyone to calm down.  

"Prince has escaped from the Liao Kingdom. Have you ever encountered the bloodthirsty wolves in the border of Liao and Jin?" Duke Li, who had finally calmed, did not ask Stone to go down and talked about this serious topic. 

Stone said that the tribes talked about the bloodthirsty wolves, but they had not met them yet. However, Stone told Duke Li the experience on the way when he was accompanying the father and stepmother to Nanjing, how the whole family suffered a siege of the wolves and almost lost their lives.  

Then, Stone said that Houjiaji was ready to well treat the tigers and wolves in land of Xia kingdom. The villagers wouldn't explore the land, would not stock the sheep in order not to compete with the local beasts. They hoped that the local beasts would maintain a certain amount to resist the invading of the wolves migrating from the froze Yellow River. Stone also said that Chunlan learned how to communicate with the tigers and wolves. 

"The cannibal wolf has already passed the Yellow River," said Duke Li, who touched the beards. "The suburbs of the government of Xingqing have received cases in which children have been taken away by wolves."  

"Yes, I just went to the Ci'en Temple, and I was attacked by the wolves. Some followers were injured. Fortunately, this horse ran so fast, and my old body is saved." The old lady took the speech.  

"I must mobilize the army and our Xia arm bow to shoot these beasts!" Duke Li said, then he was easing the tone, "unfortunately, the local wolves of Xia kingdom will be suffered from the invaders."  

"Duke, you do not need to spend state's money to mobilize the army to destroy the wolves. I and my tribes can certainly destroy these invading wolves without harming the local wolves." Stone felt that it should do something for the country of Xia who were so friendly accepting the refugees.  

"Are you not a prince?" The young girl smiled and ate a little. "Aren't you bragging?" 

"In front of Duke, Stone Xiao did not dare to brag." Stone felt that he should tell his name to others. This bragging prince's nickname was really not good for doing serious business. 

"Your surname is Xiao? Is it a noble country in Liao?" The little girl asked, and the attitude was somewhat respectful. 

"I am not a Khitan, my parents are Han Chinese." Stone answered honestly,"So I am not from a noble family." 

"Well, people of Houjiaji contribute money and labor works, and I will give you some arm arches and weapons." Duke Li said coolly, "This war can't hurt my Xia's local wolves, so it's set!" "  

"However, we still need you to continue to brag!" said the young girl, naughty, "what happened then? Continue talk!"
