CHAPTER XXXVII
Xiao Qin almost ran over with the strength to eat, out of breath: "Sir...... Sir's men are merciful!
Lin Muyi frowned, looked at the person on the horse again, and saw that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, still a teenager, and at this time he had just escaped death, and he was frightened and got off the horse, looking at Lin Muyi and Xiao Qin vigilantly.
Lin Muyi turned his gaze back again: "Is it someone you know?"
Xiao Qin didn't even breathe, and nodded desperately, just afraid that he would do it again. His skills were as fast as lightning, almost like a ghost, and he was invisible, Xiao Qin was afraid that if he suddenly made a move, the young man would be dead.
"Yes...... It's your own people. He is the man sent by the emperor to meet us. Xiao Qin replied while panting.
At this time, the young man seemed to finally recognize the person in front of him, but he was puzzled by Xiao Qin's dress, and he was a little afraid to recognize him: "...... Qin'er?"
He looked at the girl in the pink dress in front of him raised her head, still panting softly, her chest rose and fell, and her face was indeed familiar, and he was even more surprised: "You...... How do you ......"
Before he finished his sentence, Xiao Qin was afraid that what he would say would reveal the stuffing, so he hurriedly pounced, hugged his neck and called, "Brother of the Chu family!"
Chu Huan saw that someone suddenly pounced, and subconsciously reached out to catch it, and when the girl pounced on him, listening to his familiar name, he confirmed in his heart that this was the person he had traveled thousands of miles to pick up.
Xiao Qin threw himself into his arms, hugged his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Don't ask more." ”
When Chu Huan heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.
At this time, Luan and Shi'er had also rushed over, and Shi'er looked at Xiao Qin and the visitor with curiosity, and asked, "Sister Qing'er, do you know him?"
Xiao Qin listened to Shi'er's title, although he had been lying to him to call him his sister, he didn't feel anything, but when Chu Huan heard it, he felt a little uncomfortable. Xu was so bold that his old acquaintance playmate saw that he was pretending to be a woman in order to escape for his life, although Xiao Qin was thick-skinned, he would always be embarrassed in his heart.
Xiao Qin secretly calmed down in his heart, and then raised his head from Chu Huan's arms, and smiled a little shyly at Chong Shi'er: "This is Chu Huan, his father has a very good relationship with my family, and I used to play with him when I was a child." Now I know that I am in trouble, so I came to pick me up. ”
Xiao Qin actually didn't lie, this Chu Huan is the son of the former Zhenbei general Chu Jia'an, and Chu Jia'an is a well-known princeling, and he is the biggest help in the army from Xiao Qin's father. And the two have excellent personal teaching, and Chu Jia'an often enters the prince's East Palace to discuss matters. Chu Huan is six or seven years older than Xiao Qin, and his temperament is extremely similar to his father, resolute and upright, and smart, Xiao Qin's father likes it, and wants him to have more contact with Xiao Qin, if he can get along with him when he is young, it will also be a big help to Xiao Qin in the future, so he let Chu Jia'an also bring the young Chu Huan when he entered the palace, the two adults were locked in the room to discuss matters, and the two younger ones were playing around in the East Palace.
Xiao Qin grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't have any playmates of the same year, but when he saw such a little brother at first glance, he liked it very much. Chu Huan was obedient again, and he was told by his father at home that he must be good to his younger brother in the palace, so he kept it in his heart. In addition, Xiao Qin when he was a child was also white, pure and jade, like a fairychild, very painful, and very good at ingratiating and believing, and likable, Chu Huan is a child with solid eyes, how can there be many children in the palace? However, Chu Huan also likes this cute and eccentric brother of Yuxue in his heart, and loves him very much, and the two had a very good relationship when they were young.
Later, the prince was framed and died in seclusion, Xiao Qin went into exile with his mother, and Chu Jia'an was also twisted to the border of northern Xinjiang and left the capital with Chu Huan. So far, the two have not seen each other again.
Now Lanchuan Jingzhong is steep, the two princes colluded with the national teacher to murder the old emperor, the old emperor was seriously ill and dying, and finally learned the truth of the matter back then, and wanted to take back the orphan of the prince. However, because the government was controlled by the second prince, and there was no one available in Beijing, he had to send someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Qin on the one hand, and secretly sent an edict to Chu Jia'an, who was guarding the northern frontier.
Chu Jia'an guarded the northern frontier and did not dare to leave his post without permission, but Chu Huan had grown up and had extraordinary martial arts, so Chu Jia'an ordered his eldest son to bring people to pick up Xiao Qin and his party.
Chu Huan came from the north with more than 20 elites in the army, and searched everywhere all the way, fortunately, all the people he brought were good players in the army, and the tracking was not a problem, and he tracked down the news of Xiao Qin and his party all the way, and finally caught up on this day.
The two princes and the group of national teachers were overpowered, Chu Huan was afraid that Xiao Qin had fallen into their hands, and even had encountered an accident, so he hurried all the way, and finally caught up with Xiao Qin and his party, and when he saw that he was fine, he was naturally happy in his heart. He and Xiao Qin haven't seen each other for several years, and he misses this childhood playmate very much, and when he sees Xiao Qin again this time, it's too late to rejoice in his heart, although he has a lot of confusion when he sees him like this, but he also put it aside, and it's too late to ask.
At this time, he heard a little boy in brocade clothes and a little boy called Xiao Qin "Sister Qing'er", and he frowned, but he remembered what Xiao Qin said just now that he asked him not to ask more, so he had to hold back the doubts in his heart and didn't ask more.
Xiao Qin introduced Lin Muyi and Shi'er to Chu Huan again, and Chu Huan also hugged his fist and saluted Lin Muyi.
He had just fought with Lin Muyi, although it was only a move and a half, he already clearly knew that this person's skills were extremely high, and he was by no means an opponent, on the one hand, he was happy that Xiao Qin could have such a master, and on the other hand, he was faintly worried about Lin Muyi's identity and origin. But seeing Xiao Qin's confident look, he had no choice but to swallow the doubts in his heart.
As soon as Lin Mu heard Xiao Qin tell him the identity of this person, since he knew that he was not an enemy, he lost interest, and led Shi'er to go back again.
Xiao Qin knew his temper, and he was not reluctant, so he led the people brought by Chu Huan to see each other with Ah Luan, and took Chu Huan to see Xiao Qin's mother, and the group cleaned up the mess.
Chu Huan only watched from a distance, but he didn't see it clearly, but at this time, he saw dozens of people lying on the ground, some of them were still screaming in pain, and some were already silent, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. After checking them one by one, I found that these people were all restrained by one move, and the wounds on their bodies were extremely crisp, but they only injured but did not kill, and the martial arts of the person who hurt people was even more unimaginable. After asking, he realized that these people were actually injured by Lin Muyi and others, Chu Huan was even more shocked in his heart, and made up his mind to turn around and privately find Xiao Qin to ask about the origin of this person.
After some counting, the people brought by Xiao Qin suffered heavy casualties, half of the few servants died, and the rest were more or less injured, and the maid next to Xiao Qin's mother also died, so Xiao Qin's mother and son were not injured. As for the two carriages, they were naturally no longer usable, so the group relieved the horses that were not injured, and together with the people and horses brought by Chu Huan, the group changed to riding horses and continued to go east.
Lin Muyi didn't have any opinion on such an arrangement, so he casually picked a tall horse with a black body, mentioned it casually, and turned over on the horse's back. Xiao Qin knew how to ride a horse, but he was not tall enough and young, so he was in a hurry at this time, so in order not to drag his feet, it was naturally inconvenient to ride a horse, so he naturally sat in front of Chu Huan. The rest of the people Ah Luan rode with his wife, and the maid who couldn't ride a horse was also taken by the people brought by Chu Huan, and the group cleaned up a little and continued to hurry.
Chu Huan finally got free, but he didn't see him for a few years, but this younger brother was getting thinner and thinner, and he didn't have the round and tender appearance he had back then, knowing that he must have suffered a lot outside in the past few years, and he was distressed, so he tightened his arms and hugged Xiao Qin tighter.
Xiao Qin felt his movements and raised his head from his arms to look at him: "Brother Chu Huan?"
Chu Huan was not good at words, he felt a little distressed but couldn't speak, and he was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Xiao Qin like this, so he just touched his head and stopped talking.
Xiao Qin smiled, he and Chu Huan have been playing together since childhood, although he can't remember many things clearly, but he always remembered this honest and wooden Chu family brother who loved him very much, naturally knew that he was not good at words, and he didn't ask more, but only slowly chatted with him about what had happened outside over the years.
He was originally a prince, but he went into exile, and naturally suffered a lot in it. Xiao Qin grew another clever mouth, adding oil and vinegar, only to hear that Chu Huan was even more distressed, and he didn't know how to comfort him, just frowned and hugged the thin body in his arms.
Xiao Qin snickered in his heart, after all these years, his brother Chu Huan was still so honest and kind.
The two chatted all the way, but Chu Huan couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"Qin'er, why are you dressing up as this daughter's family, and who is Lin Muyi?"
Xiao Qin bit his lower lip, and after waiting for a long time, he finally asked.
"I'm just forced by the situation, in order to hide people's eyes. Xiao Qin didn't want to say more, so he only lightly and skillfully brushed it aside, "Then Lin Muyi is a master I met by chance on the road." Before, I crossed the sea with my mother by boat, but I was robbed by the water bandits sent by the emperor's uncle and almost died. My husband knew that I was being hunted down, and I thanked him for saving my life, and told him about my life and begging him to return to Beijing for each other, and he agreed to help. ”
Xiao Qin briefly said that he met Lin Muyi and Shi'er, which was true and false, but it concealed the fact that he was calculating and scheming, and was taught by Lin Muyi and forced to tell the truth.
Chu Huan did not doubt that he had him, and nodded: "That Lin Muyi's martial arts are unfathomable, and it is really fortunate that you can have his help." I also thank him for saving you. ”
Xiao Qin only begged him not to ask more, and saw that he had no doubts about what he said, so he was relieved.
