Chapter 458: Secret Letter Celebration
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. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
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 continuing--he 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 at--and then hurriedly said to the man: "Sir, we were hunted down 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 level of tension in the face of the white tiger group 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
The young man nodded: "Please follow the generals, the road is steep in the middle of the night, and the generals are careful." β
Ling Yan was just about to agree, but Yu Guang saw the white tiger behind the young man, and became suspicious again: "Sir, what about these...... White Tiger, also follow us? β
The young man smiled and said, "The general is wrong, it's not that the white tiger is following us, but the general is going to follow me and the white tiger." With these white tigers to protect each other, the general will be safe. β
"Uh...... All right. Ling Yan reluctantly responded, but he thought in his heart: These white tigers can't wait to swallow a few of us when they look at them, and it's dangerous to have them there!
However, since the young man said that it would be "very safe", Ling Yan couldn't say anything more, and Ling Yan also found out that those white tigers seemed to listen to this young man.
"The inner qi of these two generals can be used to illuminate." The young man looked at You Heng and Lian Rui.
Ling Yan was no longer surprised that this young man knew about internal qi. He looked at You Heng, and You Heng's expression already showed that he was very disgusted by the young man's words - this Ling Yan could also understand this, after all, having internal qi was one of the reasons why You Heng was arrogant, and now this advantage was actually only used for lighting, and the damage to self-esteem was self-evident.
After the young man finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the piccolo and blew it, and then walked forward, and the white tigers also turned around and walked slowly with the young man.
Ling Yan looked back, the white tigers that were originally behind them were also separated left and right, and they each disappeared in the woods next to them, and soon, Ling Yan saw that in the forest not far from him, several pairs of green beast pupils appeared.
This also confirmed that the young man and the white tiger seemed to be able to "communicate", although Ling Yan was a little surprised by this, he had a lot of questions in his heart, and in comparison, this question was not too critical.
In this way, Ling Yan and the others followed the young man and walked slowly in the forest. Along the way, Ling Yan wanted to take the opportunity to chat with the young man a few more words, and ask some questions in his heart by the way, but the young man just walked his own way in front of him, and ignored Ling Yan and them at all, as if he had forgotten Ling Yan. There were a few times when Ling Yan walked a few steps quickly, trying to catch up with the man, but whenever Ling Yan was about to get closer, the young man turned around and smiled to signal Ling Yan not to approach, and at the same time, the white tiger next to the man also stared at Ling Yan, making a muffled voice in his mouth, as if he was threatening something.
Ling Yan had no choice but to go back again. You Heng beside him naturally saw this, and just wanted to "attack", but fortunately, Ling Yan, who understood You Heng's character, stopped it with his eyes in time.
The young man walked very smoothly, and seemed to be so familiar with the road in the forest that he couldn't be more familiar, but Ling Yan and the others didn't follow easily, although there was the light of internal qi, but after all, the brightness was limited, and the bumpy feet could only barely follow the young man.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the young man stopped, looked back at Ling Yan and the others, and pointed behind him: "General, in front is my master's residence." β
Ling Yan, who was a little out of breath, looked at the young man in front of him who was still calm, admired the person's physical fitness from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to sigh in his heart: "It's better to be young!" But then he thought, "I'll go!" I'm only twenty years old...... It's still not as good as a person! β
