Heroine　was　she；　bold　and　decisive！

Seeing　that　Lady　Mi　had　resolved　the　question　by　dying；　there　was　nothing　more　to　be　done。　Zhao　Yun　pushed　over　the　wall　to　fill　the　well；　and　thus　making　a　grave　for　the　lady。　Then　he　loosened　his　armor；　let　down　the　heart…protecting　mirror；　and　placed　the　child　in　his　breast。　This　done　he　slung　his　spear　and　remounted。

Zhao　Yun　had　gone　but　a　short　distance；　when　he　saw　a　horde　of　enemy　led　by　Yan　Ming；　one　of　Cao　Hong's　generals。　This　warrior　used　a　double　edged；　three　pointed　weapon　and　he　offered　battle。　However；　Zhao　Yun　disposed　of　him　after　a　very　few　bouts　and　dispersed　his　troops。

As　the　road　cleared　before　him；　Zhao　Yun　saw　another　detachment　barring　his　way。　At　the　head　of　this　was　a　general　exalted　enough　to　display　a　banner　with　his　name　Zhang　He　of　Hejian　。　Zhao　Yun　never　waited　to　parley　but　attacked。　However；　this　was　a　more　formidable　antagonist；　and　half　a　score　bouts　found　neither　any　nearer　defeat。　But　Zhao　Yun；　with　the　child　in　his　bosom；　could　only　fight　with　the　greatest　caution；　and　so　he　decided　to　flee。

Zhang　He　pursued；　and　as　Zhao　Yun　thought　only　of　thrashing　his　steed　to　get　away；　and　little　of　the　road；　suddenly　he　went　crashing　into　a　pit。　On　came　his　pursuer；　spear　at　poise。　Suddenly　a　brilliant　flash　of　light　seemed　to　shoot　out　of　the　pit；　and　the　fallen　horse　leapt　with　it　into　the　air　and　was　again　on　firm　earth。

A　bright　glory　surrounds　the　child　of　the　imperial　line；　now　in　danger；

The　powerful　charger　forces　his　way　through　the　press　of　battle；

Bearing　to　safety　him　who　was　destined　to　the　throne　two　score　years　and　two；

And　the　general　thus　manifested　his　godlike　courage。

This　apparition　frightened　Zhang　He；　who　abandoned　the
