Volume 2 Fierce Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 455 The Unexpected General
You Heng snorted: "The village is really arrogant. As he spoke, he raised his hand, and soon blue internal qi gathered in his palm.
Although You Heng didn't continue, his meaning was obviousβhe thought that the person would be surprised by this "demon law" when he saw the inner qi light that appeared out of thin air, thus changing his judgment on the situation on both sides.
However, the man didn't seem to have any reaction to You Heng's action of transporting internal qi, and could even be said to almost ignore it, but said softly: "It is very rude for the general and others to break into this place, and I hope that the general will not act at this time, otherwise the general will die here." β
Although that person's tone and tone were soft, the deterrent power was much stronger than that of Lu Gong's screams, at least Ling Yan felt so.
So far, it seems that You Heng and Lu Gong's "cultural offensive and martial arts" have failed, which is an obvious thing. As for the fact that the person didn't seem to have the slightest sense of surprise at You Heng's internal qi, Ling Yan was not surprised, because that person had seen their appearance clearly through the light of the internal qi before, and if he wanted to be surprised, he should have shown it at that time.
Ling Yan felt that that person was very unusual, since he lost to the other party in momentum, it was better to "admit defeat" generously. So, Ling Yan put back the pistol and motioned for Lian Rui to gather his internal qi in his hand - this detail was thought up by Ling Yan on a whim, of course, this was not to demonstrate against that person, but Ling Yan in order to alleviate the previous tense confrontation atmosphere, show his sincerity, and let the light in Lian Rui and You Heng's hands clearly illuminate his appearance, so as to hope that the other party would let down his guard a little.
When Lian Rui gathered his internal qi and emitted light, Ling Yan gently pushed away Lu Gong in front of him, took two steps forward, and hugged his fist at the man and said, "Sir, don't be angry, these three are all my brothers, I apologized to Mr. for them just now." "Ling Yan is not unfamiliar with the words of reparation in ancient times, and this set of words can be regarded as smooth.
The man was silent for a moment, as if he was looking at Ling Yan carefully, and then said: "Offending a village wild man is really nothing, the general doesn't have to make amends, dare to ask the general with a high surname?" β
Although the man's tone was very pleasant, the mockery in his words was not inferior to that of Youheng.
Ling Yan didn't dare to be careless, and replied truthfully: "It's Ling Yan down there, and they all call me General Yan." β
Ling Yan said in such detail, mainly to show sincerity, and secondly, Ling Yan also hoped that the other party could know his "big name" and give himself some face. After all, the news of the killing of the "divine envoy" should have spread a long time ago.
The man let out a "hmm", and his tone barely changed in the slightest: "I can also see that these people are the general's subordinates, after all, the general is not as rude as these people, and knows some etiquette." With that, he laughed twice as if he didn't care.
From the tone of that person's voice, he could hear that he had not heard of "General Yan" at all, and Ling Yan didn't need to look back, he could feel the expressions of You Heng and the others behind him, but the beasts in front of him who were waiting for an opportunity at any time clearly told them not to act rashly.
Ling Yan smiled reluctantly, in response to the person's "humor": "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" β
"Not worth mentioning," said the man softly, "I just live near this wood, and when I heard of a stranger invading, I came to take a look. β
Hearing that person's words, Ling Yan suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked like an immortal, and he didn't dare to be careless: "Sir, listen to me, you misunderstood, we didn't want to break into here, it's just that it's too dark, we are trapped in this deep mountain, and we want to find a place to stay, and we didn't want to come here by mistake......"
The man smiled: "The general Hugh wants to lie to me, although he is stupid, he still knows that the general followed the voice all the way, not by mistake." β
Ling Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, what Mr. said is right, we did follow the voice...... But before, we were really trapped in the mountains. β
"Even if the general strayed into this mountain, he could quickly retreat, why did he go deep into here?" Speaking of this, the man's tone seemed to be a little angry, "Could it be that the general is lost, is it the crime of the White Tiger?" Why kill him? β
"White Tiger?" Ling Yan subconsciously asked, and immediately understood that the white tiger was referring to these beasts in front of him.
Ling Yan knew that one of the four ancient divine beasts was the "White Tiger", but he didn't know if he was referring to these beasts, although the ancient legends were ethereal, but looking at these monsters with big mouths and fangs in front of him, saying that they were divine beasts, Ling Yan also felt that it made perfect sense, and it was similar to what he imagined in his mind.
The man was silent and did not answer, as if waiting for Ling Yan to come to his senses.
Ling Yan didn't dare to lie, and replied truthfully: "I killed that beast before, uh...... The White Tiger was killed because it killed several of my soldiers and injured us, so I had to kill it. β
"The general lost the soldiers, and he still lost the white tiger, why did the general pity his subordinates, isn't the white tiger also his life?" The man seemed to be a little angry, and without waiting for Ling Yan to explain, he continued to ask, "Besides, if it weren't for the generals and others to break in here, how could they be killed and injured by my White Tiger?" β
That person's last question, Ling Yan really wanted to answer truthfully, but when it came to the battle with Colonel Zuo, he couldn't say a word or two, and when Ling Yan was thinking about how to answer, You Heng behind him "snorted": "You are really ......"
Ling Yan hurriedly turned around to stop You Heng from talkingβhe didn't know what You Heng was going to say, but in his tone, he could conclude that it was definitely not a good thing, it was nothing more than the "business" that You Heng was good atβand then hurriedly said to the man: "Sir, we were chased and killed, and we had to enter the mountain as a last resort. β
The man was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Who is the general hunted down?" β
Ling Yan replied very simply, and immediately said, "Yellow Turban Thief." β
The figure seemed to move slightly, and then fell silent, not speaking.
At this time, Ling Yan didn't pay full attention to that person, but was thinking about a problem: he felt that his sincerity was already very sufficient, saving enough face for the other party, and the atmosphere was not as tense as it was at the beginning, so it was time to invite that person to show up, after all, the feeling of "the enemy is dark and I am bright" is very unpleasant.
So, Ling Yan tried his best to soften his tone and pleaded, "Sir asked so many questions, and I answered them all truthfully...... Should Mr. also let me see the true face of Lushan? β
The sentence "I don't know the true face of Lushan" came from Su Shi's famous poem, and the people of the Three Kingdoms naturally hadn't heard it, but the three words "true face" could naturally be understood, but Ling Yan wasn't sure if that person would obey his request.
What Ling Yan didn't expect was that this time the man didn't say anything, and after a pause for a few seconds, the figure of the man really walked forward slowly, and his steps felt very light.
Although it was Ling Yan who took the initiative to ask, when the man approached quietly, the four people, including Ling Yan, suddenly became nervous, they were not only nervous about the person in front of them, but also because those beasts seemed to be following that person step by step!
Lu Gong took two more steps in front of Ling Yan, and You Heng and Lian Rui also raised their hands.
Ling Yan hurriedly raised his two arms and motioned to You Heng and the others not to mess around, while he himself stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Gong.
Ling Yan didn't think that the person approached with any killing intent, on the contrary, the person came over at his request, and this time was also the time when he needed to have the sincerity of "being honest with each other".
When the man got closer, Ling Yan saw the person's appearance clearly: the man looked very young, about twenty years old, his appearance matched his voice very well, his facial features were delicate, he looked gentle and elegant, very fresh and refined, wearing simple and clean clothes, and wearing a bun.
The man came to Ling Yan and made a gesture: "I am afraid that there will be an invasion of gangsters, so I have not met the general for a long time, please forgive the general." β
Seeing the appearance of that person, and then thinking that there was such a person from outside the world in this village, he still appeared in the middle of the night, thinking that he must be a master, although he looked young, but Ling Yan dared to be lazy, let alone forgive his "sins", and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, we trespassed here, we are guilty first, and I hope that Mr. will not blame." β
The man smiled softly, and his smile looked very pure: "Then I don't blame the general for it." β
Seeing that the person's hostility was all gone, and he made a joke, Ling Yan was very happy: "Of course, even if they cancel each other out, ha!" β
At this time, You Heng and the others also stepped forward, which can be regarded as basically lifting their guard.
The man looked at You Heng and the others, and said to Ling Yan again: "Since the general and the others have lost their way to this mountain, it is late at night, so it is better to go to my master's house to take refuge for the night." β
"Your master?" Ling Yan was a little surprised.
The man nodded: "I am just a servant, serving my master." β
Ling Yan muttered in his heart: "I'll go, this kind of appearance and words and deeds are just a servant, so what kind of immortal does his master have to be?" β
Ling Yan asked with awe, "Then dare to ask your master's surname?" β
The man smiled: "In order to avoid chaos and war, the master lives in seclusion here, and does not want to show himself to outsiders. β
Ling Yan was convinced, this person didn't even say his and his master's names even if he was killed, but the more this happened, the more Ling Yan felt that the person in front of him and his master were very not simple.
But since the man didn't want to say it, there was no way. Ling Yan looked at Lian Rui and the others, they were all tiredβno wonder, these people were all injured, thirsty, hungry and tired, coupled with the high tension in the face of the white tigers before, how could they not show fatigue?
Thinking that he was also seriously injured, Ling Yan decided not to dwell on the question of the other party's identity, but to solve a very practical problem, so he said respectfully: "Since Mr. doesn't want to say it, forget it, please take us to your place to rest for a while, thank you." β
