"Huh-" A sword aura slashed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Poof-" Red liquid gushed out instantly.
Sounds of pain and maniacal laughter rang out at the same time, mixed together.
Something hit the foot, and it was round.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be a human head! It's the head of an old man! The expression on the skull's face was filled with infinite regret and deep remorse, but more than that, there was endless worry.
"Don't!" An exclamation.
Ling Yan woke up suddenly, only to feel that his head was groggy, with a slight pain, and his eyelids were also heavy.
Ling Yan gasped and covered his head with his hands, but he felt that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Although my head was dizzy, the memories came back to my mind little by little.
Ling Yan closed his eyes, recalling the nightmare just now, the scene when the old man was killed, the last words the old man said to him, Cong'er's heartbroken crying, and the house surrounded by fire and smoke......
Ling Yan's nose was sour, and tears welled up again, sliding down the corners of his eyes. How he wished that it was really just a dream, and how he wished that when he opened his eyes, the kind face of the old man and the lovely smiling face of Cong'er would appear in front of him.
But---Ling Yan knew that everything was true after all, he had seen it with his own eyes, and the old man had indeed been killed.
Ling Yan shook his head vigorously, trying to dissipate the naked murder scene from his mind, but the bloody scene became clearer and clearer.
"Grandpa, because my appearance has affected you and Cong'er, I'm sorry...... Don't worry, I promise you that I will do my best to protect and take care of Cong'er...... I promise you that if there is even a 1 in 10,000 chance, I will seek revenge on that brute! Ling Yan silently promised in his heart, and another tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
Perhaps because of the moisture of tears, Ling Yan felt that his eyelids were not so heavy, so he slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, he realized that he had been lying on a bed. Suddenly, two questions suddenly came to his mind: Where am I? What about Cong'er?
"Ah...... Are you awake? A soft and sweet female voice floated into Ling Yan's ears.
"Who? Cong'er? Ling Yan was startled and asked without thinking, while turning his head effortlessly and looking around.
I saw that in the middle of the room, there was a table, and there were two stools next to it, and on one of the stools sat a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, looking pure and lovely, with a face like a peach blossom, and was looking at Ling Yan with a smile in her eyes at this time.
"Huh? Who is Cong'er? The girl asked, tilting her head and smiling.
Ling Yan took a closer look, and the girl was really not smart, so he turned his head: "Oh, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person...... I...... Where is this? ”
"At my house." The girl laughed.
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at the girl: "Why am I at your house?" Who are you? ”
The girl tilted her head and thought, "Hmm...... Because someone brought you to me and told me to take good care of you, ...... I'm a maid who came to take care of you, hehe......"
As she spoke, she stood up and walked over to Ling Yan: "If you have any needs, just order me directly...... Hey? Are you crying? ”
Ling Yan hurriedly wiped his eyes with his hand: "No, no, I just have some pain in my eyes." ”
The girl pursed her lips in disbelief.
"By the way, may I ask you, who sent me here, and who told you to take care of me?" Ling Yan sat up with great difficulty, looking at the girl with a frown.
The girl smiled mischievously again: "The two people who sent you are two soldiers, I don't know who they are, but I know the people who ordered them." ”
"Who is it?" Ling Yan hurriedly asked.
The girl smiled: "It's General Ling!" Those two people told me that this was specially ordered by General Ling, to take good care of you, and not to make a mistake. ”
"General Ling?" Ling Yan was very puzzled, suddenly, he remembered that Wu Anguo said that he would take him to see the lord, if this General Ling is the "lord" in Wu Anguo's mouth, then isn't General Ling the Ling Renxiang that the old man once said? Don't......
"Here it is...... The Great Victory City? Ling Yan asked the girl tentatively.
The girl nodded suspiciously: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh...... No, it's nothing......" Ling Yan shook his head weakly and slightly.
The girl turned and walked to the table, picked up a plate, and walked to the bed: "You should be hungry, right?" Grab some pastries. ”
Ling Yan looked at the pastries on the plate, and suddenly realized that he was really hungry, so he took a piece and put it in his mouth: "I'm still a little hungry, thank you." ”
"You've slept all day and night, and you're hungry," the girl laughed, setting her plate beside the bed, "I'll have some pastries first, and I'll bring you some food later." ”
"Well, thank you." Ling Yan reluctantly showed a smile, but thought in his heart: I actually fainted for a day and a night!
"Hee-hee, no thanks...... By the way, what's your name? The girl asked happily.
"My name is Ling Yan, Hot Yan," Ling Yan replied with a smile.
"Ah, it's the same surname as General Ling?" The girl asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Ling Yan nodded, "What about you?" What is your name? ”
The girl tilted her head and smiled sweetly: "You can call me Le'er." ”
"Le'er......" Ling Yan also laughed, "This name is really suitable for you, because I found that you like to laugh very much." ”
Le'er laughed out loud.
After eating a piece of pastry, when Ling Yan was about to take the second piece, he suddenly remembered a question, so he hurriedly asked, "Oh! By the way, Le'er, when they sent me, did you see a girl? ”
Le'er shook her head in confusion: "No, they only sent you alone." ”
Ling Yan frowned, his heart was not good, he recalled that Wu Anguo had told the dog soldiers that he would take Cong'er away, but they didn't bring Cong'er here, so where did they take her?
The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he didn't bother to eat any more pastries, and hurriedly sat up, turned over and was about to get out of bed.
Le'er hurriedly grabbed Ling Yan's arm: "Why are you going?" You're still very weak, so let's eat something and lie down and rest for a while. ”
Ling Yan only felt dizzy in his head, he knew that it was because he hadn't eaten for too long, and he had not gotten up too violently, resulting in insufficient blood supply to his brain. But he really can't care about these anymore, all he worries about now is Cong'er's safety! If Cong'er was really fierce and unlucky, Ling Yan really didn't know how to explain to the old man under Jiuquan.
Ling Yan closed his eyes, trying to relieve the dizziness.
"I want to see General Ling, can you ...... Help me, take me to him. Ling Yan pleaded.
Le'er said softly, "You lie down first." The two soldiers who brought you here told me that General Ling said he would come to see you tonight. ”
Ling Yan shook his head bitterly: "No, I can't wait for tonight, I want to see him now." ”
Le'er looked very embarrassed: "Now...... I'm afraid not, General Ling is very busy, you shouldn't be able to see him now...... Why are you so anxious to see him? ”
"Because...... Because I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Ling Yan said in a low voice, tears suddenly overflowing from his eyes.
Le Er was slightly taken aback, and slowly sat down beside Ling Yan, seeing that Ling Yan was sad, her eyes turned to a little distressed, and she comforted softly: "Although I don't know what happened, please rest assured, General Ling is a good person, if you have any difficulties, he will definitely help you." ”
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Le'er: "General Ling is a good person?" ”
Le'er nodded: "Hmm! Oh, yes! He's really a nice guy and ...... to us It's all good. After saying that, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Ling Yan could see that Le'er was in love with Ling Renxiang, and because of this, he felt that Le'er's judgment was not so accurate, because if a girl was obsessed with a boy, then she couldn't see the boy's shortcomings.
So, Ling Yan asked softly: "Le'er, what do you think of the previous Kong Taishou, how did he behave?" ”
Le'er glanced at Ling Yan, and then lowered her head again: "Kong Taishou ...... He is also a good man, and he is very good to our people. ”
"However, General Ling killed him." Ling Yan said lightly.
Le'er hurriedly continued: "There must be a reason for that...... I don't know much about the things between them, and I don't know about governing the country, but I know that General Ling must be a good person! Just like you, I think you're a good person......"
Ling Yan looked at the innocent and innocent Le'er, and couldn't bear to hurt her with words again, so he nodded: "Well, maybe you're right." ”
Seeing that Ling Yan believed her words, Le'er smiled happily.
Ling Yan also smiled in return, thinking in his heart, maybe that Ling Renxiang was really not a bad person, otherwise, he wouldn't have let Le'er take good care of me. If he thinks so, maybe he will also settle Cong'er well.
"Brother Ling, I'll go get some water for you to drink." Le Er smiled.
"Well, thank you." Ling Yan smiled and nodded.
Le Er jumped out.
Ling Yan lay down again, looking up at the sky outside the window. Gradually, sleepiness struck again, and the back of his head was still a little heavy, so Ling Yan quickly fell asleep again.
"Brother Ling, Brother Ling." I don't know how long I slept, and Le'er's sweet shout once again entered Ling Yan's ears.
"Huh?" Ling Yan opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Le'er standing happily beside the bed.
"Brother Ling, General Ling is coming soon!" Le'er looked excited.
Ling Yan glanced out the window: it was already completely dark.
"Hmmm! Okay, I'll get up. Ling Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes.
Le'er handed a basin of water and a towel to Ling Yan's side: "Brother Ling, wash your face." ”
Ling Yan was trying to sober himself up, so he quickly wiped his face with cold water, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic.
After Ling Yan washed his face, he sat on a stool and waited for General Ling.
While waiting, Ling Yan thought in his heart: What does this General Ling look like? Why does my grandfather feel familiar when he mentions his name? According to what Grandpa said, this General Ling is wearing modern clothes like me, is it really from time in time......
Just thinking wildly, suddenly, a noisy sound sounded outside the window, Ling Yan was startled, and he didn't know what was going on. After a while, Le'er jumped in and said happily to Ling Yan, "Brother Ling! General Ling is here! ”
