Chapter 19 The Beacon Chase It Away
Han Cheng took someone to clean up all the corpses on the ground, and sent him back to Chang'an with the Imperial Forest Army, saying that he would go to Emperor Jing for him to ask for merit. The deputy captain of the Imperial Forest Army hesitated, and Han Cheng winked at him.
"The emperor doesn't like His Royal Highness anymore, His Royal Highness is also the emperor's son, if something happens to this son, can Lao Tzu care? What's more, the Imperial Forest Army has made a great contribution this time, let's go back and talk about this dangerous situation, the emperor and his old man must feel that his son has suffered, and he must reward him well, you life-saving benefactors, the emperor is just for the sake of face, and he will definitely add officials to the knighthood. ”
The deputy captain of the Imperial Forest Army is not confused after the year, and he is not enough in his heart, and he is not even capable of being alone until now, and he is also a little moved by Han Cheng's nonsense, but in the end, he still thinks that Liu Che, a prince who was driven out of Chang'an, is not worth what he does, and if he offends the nobles in Chang'an, it will be worth the loss.
When Han Cheng saw him like this, he was anxious, but his face showed contempt and disdain, and he stretched his waist idly, and said: "In this case, then Han Cheng will go to the captain, no, he is more intelligent than the vice captain." ”
The deputy captain was suddenly anxious, not for anything else, the captain of the Royal Forest Army team who saw him off was young, but he was weak and old, and he was already a lieutenant general of the fourth grade, but he was still a captain, the more he couldn't compare, the more jealous he became, and he was so excited by Han Cheng that he suddenly couldn't take care of Fang Cai's concerns, and hurriedly grabbed Han Cheng and said a lot of good things by his side.
Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he pretended to be embarrassed on his face, and was dragged away by the deputy captain.
Zuo Wei'an, the Zhonglang general who was used as a target by Han Cheng, just looked at it coldly, and even if the twenty brothers were taken away by the captain, he didn't speak.
However, the recruits of the Royal Forest Army, who were often looking for the opportunity to be obedient and pleasing him, came over and spoke: "My lord, just let them go, they are all our brothers, if something happens, they will all have to suffer......
Zuo Wei'an turned his head and glanced at the soldiers beside him, and his eyes swept lightly towards the carriage where Liu Che was staying, but he only swept it by, and did not say anything.
Hastily had lunch, the group set off again, at sunset to Chengyun Town, this place is not big, it looks lively, not too spacious street is full of people, there are spacious merchants on both sides, there is a sign next to the door, writing the name of the store.
After sitting in the car for a few days in a row, both of them were a little depressed, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they got out of the car.
Zuo Wei'an took a group of people to the post station, this is the first time he has not missed the stay, Xu is Du feels that escorting such a powerful prince is not a good errand - even if it is in the fiefdom, the king of Jiaodong is the emperor of the soil, but for these people, not in Chang'an, there is no meaning - so this way can be rushed, most of the time these days and nights are spent in the suburbs.
And today, it's not that this Zhonglang general suddenly feels that what he is doing is not authentic, but that he is about to arrive at the border of Jiaodong, and he will rest here for a while today, and he will be able to meet and hand over with the people sent in Jiaodong early the next morning.
The post station was originally inhabited, but after all, the king of Jiaodong had a noble status, and the people who originally lived in the post station were sent to live in the guest house in Chengyun Town.
The house in the post station is quite clean, but the bed is very narrow, and it is good to live with a man, if the two of them are really unable to squeeze in, but Han Yan and Liu Che are nominal husband and wife, if they are separated at this time, there will inevitably be gossip, so they can only endure it.
The maid from the Han family was very skillful in serving people, and quickly cleaned up the room again, and the bedding was also replaced with a new one, but the bed was really small, so only one pillow was placed, and then water was fetched to wash the two.
Han Yan looked at the bed, although she didn't lie down, but just looking at it, she felt that it was really boring, it was not as spacious as the carriage, but the carriage was completely unable to sleep, not to mention the wind leaking on all sides, it was the roof of the car, and when you looked up slightly, you could see the vast starry sky.
I'll probably need to get a new one tomorrow.
As for tonight......
Han Yan looked at the bed again, went to the box to get the futon by herself, and instructed the maid to bring another pillow over, and the maid looked at each other, looking at him with some surprise.
Han Yan felt a little embarrassed in her heart, as if these maids were so embarrassed when they saw her, that is, they were seen by their parents, and even their movements were a little frozen.
"Prepare hot water."
Liu Che waved his hand, took off his robe, and the maids immediately lowered their heads in response, and rushed out. Only then did Han Yan ease her face and go to wait for Liu Che to change her clothes.
"Temple...... I'm waiting for you to take a bath......"
He said to untie Liu Che's belt, but Liu Che held his hand: "Don't worry." ”
Han Yan looked up at him, and was about to speak, Zhonglang asked Zuo Wei'an to see him outside the door, Liu Che's eyes crossed a cold light of Qing Lingling, squeezed Han Yan's hand, and instructed: "You wash and rest by yourself, you don't need to wait for me." ”
Without waiting for Han Yan to speak, Liu Che took off the crown on his head for him and gently rubbed his scalp, Han Yan was not used to wearing this thing, but the royal majesty did not allow him to make mistakes in his appearance, and he twisted ten times along the way, and was pressed by Liu Che like this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, like a lazy cat.
Liu Che suppressed the thought of rubbing Han Yan in his heart, turned around and went out.
After a short time, the maid brought the bath bucket, filled it with warm water, and laid out all the things to be used one by one, and then they all withdrew, and there was no one left to serve.
This is in line with Han Yan's mind, Wu untied his clothes and got into the water, the temperature is just right, it is really comfortable, don't breathe a sigh of relief, he is happy by nature, he has not been properly groomed for a few days, it is really uncomfortable, and he can't help but soak for a while.
However, Liu Che hadn't come back yet, Han Yan was a little relieved, after all, they didn't know much about Zuo Wei'an, and they didn't know what he would think.
Han Yan couldn't wait when she thought about it, she just got up from the water and was about to reach out to hook her clothes, when there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, and the sound of Jin Ge colliding was very harsh in this night.
The hall of the post station is already in a mess, the tables, chairs and benches are all shattered into slag, and several royal forest soldiers are fighting around a man in black.
Han Yan frowned and looked around, there was no shadow of Liu Che, it happened that the man in black in the hall saw Han Yan, and actually broke out of the encirclement, facing Han Yan is sword, Han Yan blocked the sword, and the tiger's mouth was shocked numb, this assassin's strength was amazing, and his moves looked mediocre, and he realized that it was powerful when he fell on his body.
Han Yan almost couldn't hold the sword, and was forced into the hall step by step by the assassins, he didn't have time to put on his shoes, and the soles of his feet were pierced by broken wood chips, leaving a few bloody footprints.
The Imperial Forest Army beside him didn't want to come to save him, but hid behind him, only put on a posture, and refused to attack again, Han Yan was really reluctant to support him alone, but he was so strong that he refused to ask for help, gritting his teeth and holding on.
Liu Che came in from outside the door, and saw Han Yan's crumbling appearance, just after fighting with someone, the weapons in his hand were broken, and there was nothing to take advantage of here, so he ripped off the door and threw it over.
The man in black had a lot of self-sustaining strength, and he didn't care about this door, he still chased Han Yan, pressing step by step, until the door was dangerously in front of him, he casually split the door with a sword, but the two doors that he didn't want to break were like clips sandwiching him in the middle, slapping hard, and then landing.
The man in black spurted out a mouthful of blood, the long sword in his hand fell straight to the ground, and his arms with amazing strength fell softly, and he knelt on the ground with a scream of pain.
Han Yan was about to step forward to make up for the sword, but her body was light, and when she looked back, it was Liu Che who looked straight at him, her eyes were cold, but there was pity and distress hidden in the depths.
Han Yan was stunned, and the sword in her hand also fell to the ground in a daze.
Zuo Wei'an was kicked in from outside the door, smashing into the sawdust, four or five black-clothed people lined up, firmly blocking the door, the long sword in his hand glowed with a cold light, but the eyes of these people were more cold and ruthless than the long sword, as if these people in front of them were ghosts under the sword.
Liu Che kicked the sawdust at his feet, picked out a stool with a broken leg, and kicked it lightly, and the legless side was firmly wedged into the wall, and Liu Che gently put Han Yan on the stool.
The posture was very arrogant, and it was even more intimidating than the murderous man in black at the door, and everyone was stunned by his actions for a while, and honestly, no one moved.
Even Han Yan came back to her senses after sitting down, grabbed his hand, and stopped talking.
Liu Che withdrew his hand, slowly touched his feet, frowned at the bloody soles of his feet, looked at Han Yan condemningly, let go of his hand without saying a word, turned around and lifted the man in black who had fainted in pain to the door.
The man in black didn't seem to mind the life and death of that person at all, and bypassed him to attack, because Zuo Wei'an was also there, the Imperial Forest Army finally didn't dare to be blatantly lazy, and they raised their swords and rushed forward, but with little success, only half of them were stopped, and there were still two people rushing towards Liu Che.
Han Yan shouted: "Be careful! ”
Liu Che picked up Han Yan's long sword, he has practiced swords since he was a child, and he has been fighting for many years, and his tricks are all real killing kung fu, and the fight is quite similar to the routine of the man in black, Han Yan was slightly stunned, and suddenly reached out with a hand and knocked on the back of his neck, as if he wanted to knock him out.
Han Yan was short and punched the man in black on the waist, and the man in black flew backwards, piercing a big hole in the wall of the post station and slamming it down the street.
Han Yan's eyes widened, and she looked at her hands suspiciously, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Liu Che throwing away the boots in her hand, and clapped her hands in disgust.
"Your Highness......" Han Yan couldn't help but say, "The Royal Forest Army is actually ......"
Liu Che patted him on the shoulder, his gaze was firm and far-reaching: "The weakness of the country is the decline of the army, and the world should change." ”
