Chapter 19: The Messenger of Peace (Part II)

"You've been suffering for the past two days." Han Lie sat by the bonfire, looking at Cai Yan under the firelight, with a haggard expression on his face, and said with some distress.

"Brother Han, thank you, I know that if it weren't for protecting me, you and Brother Xu would definitely be able to rush out, instead of fighting the enemy like that." Cai Yan thanked him gratefully, looked at the carriage next to the fire with a concerned face, and asked, "Brother Xu will definitely be fine, right?" ”

"Well, Brother Gongming's physique is excellent, now the wound has been dressed and bandaged, the temporary coma should be caused by exhaustion and excessive blood loss, I believe he will be able to wake up after sleeping one night." When Han Lie said this, he was not comforting Cai Yan, but about the fact that he had rich experience in the wilderness in the army before, and he was also handy for ordinary trauma treatment.

"Really, that's great." Cai Yan laughed from the bottom of her heart, along the way, she was in a state of tension and anxiety all the time, until this moment she finally laughed happily.

Cai Yan under the firelight, her smile was really sweet and charming, looking at that smiling face, Han Lie couldn't help but think of the girl who called her brother in her previous life, in her memory, her smile was always so sweet, and her eyes were always so clear and clean.

At this time, Cai Yan was only sixteen years old, two years younger than Han Lie's current body, this was undoubtedly a flowery age at the age of the previous life, but the girl in front of her had become someone else's bride.

Han Lie, who was a little distracted for a while, just looked at Cai Yan on the other side of the firelight, under Han Lie's deep and sharp gaze, Cai Yan couldn't help but lower her head in a heartbeat, and a red cloud floated on her cheeks, I don't know when, she found that as long as a pair of Han Lie's sea-like gazes, she couldn't help but feel a pounding heartbeat.

Han Lie, who was distracted, didn't notice Cai Yan's abnormality, and when the branches in the bonfire crackled, he came back to his senses.

"Miss Wen Ji......" As soon as Han Lie opened his mouth, Cai Yan lowered his head and said a little shyly: "Brother Han, you can call me Wen Ji, don't be so polite." ”

"Okay." Han Lie nodded and said, "Do you have any plans next?" ”

"Brother Han, can you not drive me away?" As soon as she heard Han Lie ask her about her plans, the reluctance in Cai Yan's heart burst out, and she blurted out a begging, along the way, although there were not too many words between each other, but Han Lie's affection for protecting her made Cai Yan can't help but have a deep sense of dependence, in fact, in the bottom of her heart, she has an inexplicable good impression of Han Lie, but she didn't realize it herself.

After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and although she was intelligent and knowledgeable, she was still just a girl who had never been in contact with someone of the opposite sex of the same age, so it was completely reasonable that she would have such thoughts.

Looking at her pitiful face, Han Lie was indeed a little unable to refuse her request, so he had to smile slightly and said, "Let's wait until we get to Jiguan to see the situation, and then you can decide for yourself." ”

"Brother Han, thank you." When Cai Yan plucked up the courage to raise his head, he happened to see the scar left on Han Lie's side face, the bright red wound hung on Han Lie's face like a shocking blood centipede, which was really shocking.

Seeing the wound, Cai Yan couldn't help but secretly say with a slight pain in his heart: "Brother Han is so handsome, adding this wound must be very uncomfortable in my heart, and it must be very painful, right?" ”

As the night dew deepened, the chill outside became bigger and bigger, and Han Lie saw that it was not too early, so he said: "Wen Ji, you all go to rest under the carriage, I asked Li Yang to lay out the mat, and you can also warm each other by leaning together." ”

Several maids were already cold and sleepy, but they didn't dare to disturb easily when they saw Cai Yan and Han Lie talking, and when they saw Han Lie speak, they all looked up at Cai Yan, obviously waiting for Cai Yan's idea.

"Well, Brother Han, you should rest early." Cai Yan was indeed a little sleepy, but because of some Han Lie accompanying and chatting, her spirit was obviously much better than that of a few maids.

"Li Yang, you will also squint." Han Lie saw that Cai Yan and the others went to rest under the carriage, so he said to Li Yang.

"Master, if I don't come to the vigil in the middle of the night, you can rest first." Li Yang shook his head and said.

Although Han Lie is tired and sleepy, he has the technique of spitting and guiding on the "Nine Palace Illusion Diagram", as long as he meditates for two hours, it is enough to recover his vitality, but when he meditates, he needs someone to protect him, otherwise once he enters a state of forgetfulness, it is easy to lose his vigilance around him, so Han Lie has never dared to settle down, after all, in the woods of this wilderness, there are not only enemies, but also fierce beasts.

Han Lie glanced at Li Yang and said, "It's okay, then you pay attention not to let the bonfire go out, if it's cold, scoop a mouthful of hot soup from the pot to fill your stomach." ”

At this moment, in the iron pot on the bonfire, there is still broth, although it is only the soup of dried mutton, but in such a cold night, it is still a good thing to replenish calories, and this pot of hot soup is also prepared by Han Lie for Xu Huang, although Xu Huang is in a coma now, he will inevitably be hungry after waking up.

"Rest assured, master." Li Yang now does have a kind of heartfelt respect for Han Lie, first of all, he is intimidated by Han Lie's superb martial arts, and secondly, Han Lie is still able to desperately protect his companions in times of danger, and not escape alone, this affection alone is enough to make him die.

Li Yang has been a wild boy since he was a child, because his family is poor, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family, no one cares about it at all, he just grows up by mixing in the market, stealing a little in the east and eating a little in the west, and it is this kind of growth experience that has made him develop a submissive and greedy character who is afraid of death, because since he was a child, he knew that he could not afford to offend many people in this world, and he was powerless to resist, so if he wanted to live, he could only pretend to be a grandson.

Don't look at the beard on the corner of this kid's mouth, but in fact, he is not very old, he is only twenty-one years old after this year, for people of this age, as long as there is a chance, there is obviously a lot of room for improvement and potential.

Han Lie's injury this time was not as serious as expected, after meditating for more than an hour, his consciousness recovered, originally he did not plan to regain consciousness so quickly, but just now, he clearly heard a "cooing" bird cry in his ears, if he usually heard such a bird call in the forest, he would definitely not care, but when he was in the deserted village during the day today, he clearly heard the strange bird call, and those Yellow Turban Broadsword soldiers who had already had the advantage suddenly retreated.

Although he noticed that the situation was abnormal, Han Lie did not get up, but pricked up his ears and listened to the movements around him, and at the same time quietly put his hand on the handle of the Seven Star Treasure Sword on the side of his leg, as long as the enemy approached, he would make the most fierce counterattack as soon as possible.

Just as the bird's cry stopped, Han Lie heard a sound of breaking the air in the air, this was the sound of feathered arrows breaking the wind, without the slightest hesitation, he rose up, and at the same time pushed Li Yang out, he flew up and kicked the bonfire in all directions, turned around and hid behind the carriage and shouted: "There are enemies, stay out of the way." ”

The light of the bonfire that he kicked and splashed also dimmed, although there was still some glimmer of light, but it darkened the vision of the forest, so that several feathered arrows shot from the forest lost their accuracy at once, and only a few "bang" sounds were heard, apparently hitting the carriage.

Han Lie, who was hiding on the side of the carriage, got an arrow in the carriage, worried that Xu Huang was lying in the carriage and was hit by the arrow, so he couldn't rush out at the moment, and shouted: "He Fangxiao has the courage to sneak attack, why don't you come out to fight." ”

"Instigation!" He was greeted by another feather arrow, and Han Lie, who was rolling on the spot, took advantage of the faint light of the bonfire scattered on the ground, and happened to see the dark shadow on a treetop thirty steps away.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Lie rushed out with arrows, and under the cover of the woods, he rushed over with a knife, and when he saw that the tip of the knife had pierced into the chest of the black shadow, the corner of his eye saw that the black shadow in front of him was dressed almost exactly the same as the woman in black he met in the sewers of Luoyang City, the only difference was that the eyes of the woman in front of him obviously showed fear when facing the cold blade in Han Lie's hand.
