The western capital, the city lord's mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After stepping into the gate, Chen Xiaochu was a little uneasy for some reason, and along the way, in addition to winking at Zhao Yun, Qin Lan chatted with himself casually, as if he was unwilling to say more.
When Chen Xiaochu saw the subordinates in this mansion, they were all respectful to Qin Lan, and understood that Qin Lan must have been in and out of here many times, and no one stopped him.
"Her relationship with this alliance leader is really good, she doesn't even need to report it, she can directly take people in and out at will."
Zhao Yun and the others began to look a little relaxed outside, but after stepping into this mansion, their faces became solemn, and they looked at some corners from time to time, and the hand holding the blade tightened unconsciously.
"Lord, if we go further, we can't guarantee that we will be able to protect the lord, do you have to go in?" Seeing that Qin Lan seemed to be saying something to a subordinate, Zhao Yun immediately seized the opportunity and stepped forward to Chen Xiaochusheng and whispered.
Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Chen Xiaochu felt very surprised, "Can't you protect me?" What do you mean, is it more dangerous here than on the battlefield? ”
After seeing the fact that Zhao Yun received arrows with one hand, easily killed a hundred people, and one person rode into battle alone, Chen Xiaochu felt that as long as Zhao Yun was by his side, no one could threaten his safety, but Zhao Yun suddenly said to himself that he might not be able to do it. Chen Xiaochu turned his head to look at Lu Bu and Ma Chao, and suddenly found that they were also very cautious, and even Lu Bu, who had always had an indifferent expression, stopped talking.
"Can't the three of you work together to protect me?" In Chen Xiaochu's eyes, such a combination of three fierce generals can already break through any obstacles, even if this alliance leader wants to kill himself, he can also break through the encirclement.
The more powerful the person, the more sensitive they can perceive the existence of danger, not to mention, they are strengthened people beyond mortals, Chen Xiaochu must believe their words.
"Chen Xiaochu, let them put their weapons here, I will ask someone to keep them properly, and then there is the inner hall." Qin Lan untied the sword at his waist and handed it to his subordinates, and said to Chen Xiaochu.
"I refuse." Without waiting for Chen Xiaochu to speak, Lu Bu spoke directly.
"Oh?" Qin Lan remembered what Yue Yun had said to herself outside the mansion, then looked at Lu Bu and said, "You are Lu Bu, you sent hundreds of war horses to Wu Fan, and came to the south to seek a way to live, don't think that here is still the same as on the grassland, do you think your martial arts can change the rules here?" ”
As soon as Qin Lan's words fell, Chen Xiaochu felt a murderous aura that could only be felt on the battlefield, instantly covering everything around him.
Some people wearing black tights and carrying horizontal knives appeared in the corners with their hands on their chests, Chen Xiaochu realized that he had never noticed that there were people in the corners around him, these people seemed to have suddenly appeared, very abrupt, and all of them showed fierce expressions.
"It's just some ,,。" When Lu Bu was about to make a fighting posture with a halberd, Chen Xiaochu directly reached out and grabbed Fang Tian's halberd, interrupting Lu Bu's words.
"Lu Bu, you stay, wait for me to come out, and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, you also stay." Chen Xiaochu looked at Ma Chao, who was also a little embarrassed, and Ma Dai said.
Weapons are like their own hands and feet to military generals, and they will not be handed over to others easily, Chen Xiaochu understands their difficulties, but he must go in. "If the other party wants to kill me, there is no need to bother like this."
Seeing that Chen Xiaochu had made up his mind, Zhao Yun untied the Qingyu Sword with a firm look in his eyes, handed it to Ma Chao, and then said, "Lord, let me go in with you." ”
At this moment, Chen Xiaochu can feel how much Zhao Yun supports him, Lu Bu Ma Chao and others, who are new to serve themselves, will not make a choice that endangers their lives for the sake of the object of their service. And Zhao Yun is different, this is the biggest difference between whether or not he recognizes himself as the lord from the heart. "Liu Bei once said that Zhao Zilong is full of guts, but if he wants to get the price paid by Zhao Yun, he must prove that he is in line with Zhao Yun's values, and he will move towards the world he wants to shape, I will prove myself, and the timid lord is not worthy of Zhao Yun."
Chen Xiaochu nodded at Zhao Yun, untied the saber at his waist, Ma Dai stepped forward and took the initiative to take it, and then said with a smile and in a low voice: "If the lord needs us to go in inside, just call loudly." ”
Without any weapons, Chen Xiaochu and Zhao Yun followed Qin Lan and continued to walk inside, and after coming out of a room, there was actually a small garden-like existence, a very chic courtyard.
"Lord Shangguan." When Qin Lan met someone, he immediately smiled.
"Actually saluting the reinforcements?" Chen Xiaochu became more and more unable to guess Qin Lan's behavior, and after seeing the person who came, Chen Xiaochu was even more confused.
A female official with a plum blossom pattern on her eyebrows, exuding a very blessed atmosphere, stood in a pavilion and nodded to Qin Lan with a smile.
"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have a watch on my wrist, I would have thought I was a member of the Seeds of Civilization." Chen Xiaochu looked around, all the people in this courtyard were dressed like palace maids, and they were dressed in bright colors, and the female officials who were called Shangguan by Qin Lan stood in the center like the stars holding the moon, not saying anything, but showing their own graceful bearing.
"You still have to wait, the first guest hasn't come out yet." The female officer said with a smile, and glanced at Chen Xiaochu and Zhao Yun slightly.
"Is this some kind of historical celebrity? A woman makes you respectful like that. After seeing the female officer leave, Chen Xiaochu said to Qin Lan with some curiosity.
"Don't forget, I'm also a woman." Qin Lan turned to look at Chen Xiaochu and said, "That person is not an existence that you can easily offend, she is the personal female official of the alliance leader, if you still want to survive in this area, it is best to salute her next time." ”
"Is that an exaggeration? Do you want me to salute the female officer? We're the seeds of civilization, and you're not kidding. Chen Xiaochu was a little stunned when he heard this, what kind of personal female officer, this alliance leader won't have any bad taste, I hope the personality will not be too weird.
"Forget it, whatever you want, I'm just kind enough to give you advice, when I didn't say it." Qin Lan went to the pavilion and sat down, then motioned to the subordinates on the side to pour himself a cup of tea, and said with a light drink.
"Now, are you just waiting silly?" Seeing that Qin Lan actually sat down to drink tea, Chen Xiaochu couldn't help but say, feeling that this so-called alliance leader had a bit of a big shelf.
"If you want to be recognized by the alliance leader, just wait with peace of mind, you can get Zhao Yun's service, which has already impressed the alliance leader, which has laid the foundation for an impression, I am also very curious about how you did it, I think at the beginning, the seeds of failed civilization were lined up." Qin Lan winked at Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun stood beside Chen Xiaochu and directly ignored all this, as if he hadn't seen everything.
