Chapter 44: Zheng Lun pleaded guilty
Chen Nian saw it clearly, but he was afraid that Lu Xiao's life would be lost, so he was in a hurry, completely ignoring his own safety, and threw himself at Zheng Lun with a knife. She used the hand-to-hand combat method taught by Jing Yu Xuan, the knife moved with her, fast and changeable, although it was powerful, it was also dangerous. Zheng Lun didn't want to hurt her, so he hurriedly forcibly retrieved the knife, but he didn't want Chen Nian's subordinates to be merciless, so he took advantage of the time and slashed on his arm.
Thanks to Zheng Lun's extremely fast dodge, he avoided the danger of breaking his arm, but the knife edge was extremely deep, blood gushed out instantly, and his sleeves were soaked in the blink of an eye.
Chen Nian was also a little surprised, looking at the long knife in his hand, and looking at Zheng Lun's injured arm, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zheng Lun raised his eyes to look at her, only lowered his arms and retreated a few steps, pursed his lips slightly, and raised his fingers to seal several acupuncture points near the wound to stop the bleeding.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the bottom of the mountain: "Don't do it, leave someone under the knife,"
Several of him turned their heads to look, and saw another group of people and horses coming down the mountain, all dressed as Qingzhou Army, and the person at the head was running wildly in this direction, while constantly shouting, it was Qiu San, who had not been seen for a long time.
It turned out that Qiu San led people all the way, and he didn't chase after him until this moment. He saw from a distance that there were many corpses of mountain bandits on the ground here, and saw Chen Nian and Zheng Lun fighting together, and when they had already fought to the death, he was suddenly shocked, and he was afraid that Zheng Lun would miss and hurt Chen Nian again. When he ran to the front panting and looked at Chen Nian from head to toe to see that she was okay, he patted his chest and said with palpitations: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Chen Nian looked at him coldly, and before he could ask a question, Qiu San had already waved his hand again and again: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled Zheng Lun aside, lowered his voice and said: "General Zheng, the prince has long known that Miss Xie is in this mountain, and he intends to let her here, you have caused a big disaster today, and you have exposed the things that everyone wants to cover up at once,"
Zheng Lun was silent for a moment and said, "I thought that the prince didn't know that she was here. ”
Qiu San glanced at Zheng Lun twice, sympathized with him, and said, "It's too late to say this now, but fortunately, Miss Xie is not injured." It's just that she is very protective, and if you kill many of her subordinates, I'm afraid you won't be able to do good. ”
Zheng Lun frowned and said, "I didn't kill her subordinates." ”
Qiu San's face was clearly unbelieving, and he gently raised his chin towards the corpses on the ground, and said, "You didn't kill those people,"
Zheng Lun saw that he had misunderstood, so he said: "Those are the people of Hukouling, not Miss Xie's subordinates. ”
When Qiu San heard this, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he rejoiced: "That's good, that's good." He only noticed that Zheng Lun was injured at this moment, and he was startled, and asked in surprise, "How is your arm?"
Zheng Lun pulled the corners of his mouth dryly and replied, "It's fine." ”
Qiu San sighed a few times, and then turned around to look at Chen Nian, and smiled before he spoke, with a look of surprise on his face that happened to meet the deceased, and said: "Oh, what a coincidence, I actually met Miss Xie here, you are good lately,"
Chen Nian didn't answer, just stood there and watched him.
Qiu San himself felt bored, scratched his head in distress, thought about it, and then asked Chen Nian tentatively: "Where are you going to go, do you need me to send troops to send you,"
Chen Nian heard that he was going to let himself go, so he said, "No need, thank you." After she finished speaking, she left, walked two steps but stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then walked back to Zheng Lun's side and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." I'm very grateful that you could let me go that day. ”
Zheng Lun lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Miss Xie is polite." ”
Chen Nian smiled reluctantly, turned around and left, but didn't even look at Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao saw that she was so annoyed that she didn't dare to make more troubles, so she chased after her. The two of them traveled north for more than ten miles one after the other, and Chen Nian had no intention of stopping, Lu Xiao had to chase after her two steps and grabbed her arm, and said in a low voice: "Xie Chennian, I was wrong." ”
Chen Nian was so angry that he shook off his arm and walked with his head down. Seeing this, Lu Xiao hurriedly dodged and stopped in front of her, and apologized again: "Xie Chennian, I was wrong,"
Chen Nian raised his head angrily, and said with red circles in his eyes: "Uncle Lu Xiao, you are not wrong, you are brave and invincible, you regard death as life, you would rather be broken than broken, where is your fault?"
Lu Xiao was speechless, and held back for a moment before he said: "I'm angry that he said those things, and even more angry that he treated you like that, I don't like you to say those things to him??"
"I don't like it either, I don't like it either," Chen Nian hissed, she forcibly held back her tears, but forced her nasal cavity to sour, "You think I like to talk to people, you think I am willing to expose those things to others, you think I am willing to win the sympathy of others, I don't want to, I don't want at all, I'd rather be stabbed twice than let people pity me,"
Lu Xiao felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and he didn't know how to persuade her, so he was stunned for a moment, and simply stepped forward, stretched out his arm to take Chen Nian into his arms, and pressed her head hard in front of him.
Chen Nian shouted a few more words, and finally couldn't help crying. She has been competitive since she was a child, she likes to save face, and when she said those words to Zheng Lun, she felt very embarrassed in her heart, she didn't want Lu Xiao to be so stunned, and in order to fight for a moment, she actually fought with Zheng Lun's life.
Lu Xiao didn't speak, only hugged Chen Nian hard.
Chen Nian cried for a while, and when the grievances in his heart were vented, he felt a lot better, but as soon as his mind calmed down, he felt embarrassed. Lu Xiao still hugged her very tightly, and she struggled without a trace, but she couldn't break free. She thought about it for a while, and then said bluntly: "Lu Xiao, you let me go, I'm fine." ”
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he hurriedly let go of her, and took two steps back before he stopped, with a little embarrassment on his face, and he didn't know what to say to Chen Nian.
Chen Nian secretly thought that the more he twisted at the moment, the more embarrassing it became, and it would be better to be generous, so he said: "Thank you for comforting me, I'm fine, let's go to Cui Xi and them quickly, and save them from worrying." ”
Lu Xiao also nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." ”
Both of them deliberately avoided what had just happened, and no one mentioned it again, but hurried forward. After walking for a while, he saw Chaoyangzi and Jing Yuxuan rushing over from the village with the people in the village. As soon as Xiao Monkey saw the two of them, his face was immediately overjoyed, and he shouted loudly: "Senior sister, senior sister,"
Chaoyang Zixing was at the front, the first to arrive, looked Chen Nian and Lu Xiao up and down, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Chen Nian smiled: "It's okay." ”
Chaoyangzi relieved his heart at this time, but said again: "It's rare, it's rare, I heard my junior brother talk about Zheng Lun before, saying that although this person is not very old, he is a good martial artist, even my junior brother can't beat him." You two are lucky to be able to get out of his hands. ”
Jing Yuxuan was displeased when she heard this, and said, "If it weren't for your black old way breaking my magic skills, just one Zheng Lun would be nothing," she said, turning her head to look at Chen Nian again, and asked, "Girl, do you want to practice the Five Aggregates Divine Skill with me,"
Chaoyangzi was anxious when he heard this, Chen Nian was afraid that the two of him would raise the corners of his mouth again, and dared to say before Chaoyangzi: "They are not far away, even the gang of people from Hukouling are also near here, let's go back to Niutou Mountain first." ”
Xiao Monkey listened and said strangely: "Let's go back to Niutou Mountain, and don't do business in Feilongcheng,"
Chen Nian said: "If you don't do it, Feilong Cheng is about to leave, and we can't afford to provoke it." ”
Although everyone was unwilling, after all, they had done a lot of business these days, and the income was very rich, and they saw that Chen Nian decided to return to Niutou Mountain, and no one came forward to oppose it.
They didn't mention it when they went back to Niutou Mountain, but they said that Zheng Lun and Qiu San were here, Zheng Lun simply bandaged his injured arm by his own soldiers, and looked at the deputy hand that wanted to talk and stopped, Zheng Lun thought about it for a while, and said: "There is no need to hide today's affairs for me, I will write to the prince to ask for guilt." ”
When he said this, the deputy put his mind at ease, and said: "Don't worry, even if the prince asks, his subordinates will also lead the defense a few words." ”
Zheng Lun shook his head and said, "There's no need to say that, just say something." ”
The deputy promised, but Qiu San on the side misunderstood that they were talking about today's collision with the New Year, and couldn't help but interject: "General Zheng, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Zheng Lun didn't speak, only raised his eyes to look at him.
Qiu San waited for a long time and didn't wait for his reply, so he had to talk to himself: "I think that this matter naturally can't be hidden from the prince, but how to say it, it's up to us." Just say that you accidentally met Miss Xie in the Flying Dragon, and you wanted to persuade her to go back, but you accidentally got into an argument with her, and finally had to let her go because you didn't dare to hurt her. It's good for you to say that, we are not talking nonsense, and we will not displease the prince of the world, what do you say?"
Zheng Lun said: "In you." ”
Qiu San said again: "In this case, I don't think you need to write a letter to ask the prince for this matter. ”
Zheng Lun looked at him twice, and then said, "I don't ask for sins for today's matter. ”
Qiu San didn't hear the conversation between Chen Nian and Zheng Lun before, and couldn't help but look puzzled, "That's for??"
Zheng Lun smiled wryly and said: "It's a matter of Qingzhou before, on the day that Miss Xie escaped from the prince's side, when I searched the city guard's mansion, I found Miss Xie, but I didn't report it to the prince. ”
Qiu San was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't close his mouth for a while. Although he was already in Xue Sheng's British army at that time, he also knew that Feng Junyang almost turned Qingzhou City upside down in order to find Chen Nian, but he never imagined that it was Zheng Lun who released water from it and told Chen Nian to escape.
After a long time, Qiu Sancai sighed with admiration: "General Zheng, you are so bold. After a pause, he sighed again: "You are much more righteous than me, Qiu San is ashamed." ”
Zheng Lun couldn't tell why he let Chen Nian go at that time, whether he was upset for Miss Yun Sheng, or moved by Chen Nian's tears, but since he did that, he didn't think that he could hide it from the prince forever, and now that it was exposed, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
Thinking about it like this, he simply wrote the matter into the letter as it was, and sent it to Feng Junyang as soon as possible.
Feng Junyang was in Yunxi, and it was ten days after he received the letter, and before that, he had actually received a secret letter and knew about it. But after seeing Zheng Lun's handwritten letter, he still closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and then asked Shunping softly: "Is he acting like this for Yunsheng or for Chennian?"
