Chapter 142: Encounter
Listen to the sound of horses' hooves approaching.
Liang Yan's hand holding the medicine bag trembled slightly.
Thirteen suddenly approached her, blocked in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Miss, I'm going to protect Miss!" ”
Liang Yan glanced at Thirteen gratefully and did not speak.
Through the dense forest, you can already see in the distance a piece of dust stirred up by the horses' hooves flying in all directions.
It's getting closer......
Getting closer......
Liang Yan stood behind the dense forest, rubbed her eyes, and rubbed them again.
She wasn't mistaken, right?
The one in front of him on a tall horse, why is it so familiar?
"Brother Thirteen, it looks like someone in the barracks! Not the one who killed us last time! Mi'er whispered to Thirteen.
Liang Yan nodded, so she read it right?
Is it true that Li Xuanyi rushed to answer?
Thirteen glanced back at her, "Do you recognize that?" ”
Liang Yan nodded again and again, "My own people!" ”
Thirteen whistled, and the man at the bottom of the forest strode onto the official road, waving at the rapidly approaching men and horses.
"Huh-" Li Xuanyi gestured and led everyone to stop slowly.
In the dust, his figure was blurred, blurring Liang Yan's vision of looking at him.
Wait for the dust to settle.
Li Xuanyi turned over and dismounted.
Liang Yan and everyone ran down the mountain forest.
On the official road, there are many people.
But Liang Yan only has Li Xuanyi's upright figure in her eyes, just as Li Xuanyi only has her in her eyes.
Between the two, there were four or five horses apart.
The four eyes are facing each other, looking at each other from a distance.
In an instant, it seemed that the smell of choking dust could not be smelled, the sound of horses' hooves kicking on the ground could not be heard, and the chill of the cold wind could not be felt.
Concerns, worries, and thoughts converge into the whole of this moment.
Liang Yan stood in place, and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, her smile was bright, like the morning sun in early spring.
Li Xuanyi intuitively felt that the pores all over his body were opened, and every pore was exuding excitement and joy, and he flew up.
It seems that there are no more than 100 onlookers around him, as if there is only him and her on the official road.
He stepped forward and hugged Liang Yan into his arms regardless of it.
The arms were tightly clamped, as if they wanted to rub her into their bodies.
The thirteenth and the others stood quietly aside, silently watching the scene in front of them.
The guards brought by Li Xuanyi almost dropped their jaws in shock.
This, this, this...... King Rong really, really, really...... Have a habit of breaking sleeves?!
Liang Yan's face was full of dust and frost, and her men's clothes were also full of dust, where could she come out, she was originally a delicate little woman?
She was hugged so tightly by him that she could barely breathe.
She had no choice but to reach out and hug him back, patting him lightly on the back, "Let go, let go......"
Li Xuanyi reluctantly let go of her, "Go, I'll send you back!" ”
Liang Yan was stunned when she heard this, her brows furrowed, "Aren't you here to pick me up?" ”
Li Xuanyi shook his head slightly, "Jingzhou is not the place you go. Whether it's back to Jiangdong or Beijing, I'll give you a ride. ”
Liang Yan immediately pushed him away and took a step back, "I went to Jingzhou, I've walked so far, I'm almost there, I've tried my best to get here, you said let me go back?" ”
Li Xuanyi's gaze fell on her fixedly, "Jingzhou is too dangerous, it's already ......" He lowered his voice, "Now they are all holding on strongly, and they can't say that they will retreat one day!" ”
Liang Yan shook her head, "So what?" ”
"How did you always do this? Insist on going your own way and never listen to the advice of others? Li Xuanyi frowned and said a little angrily.
Liang Yan raised her head and looked back at him without flinching, "I never act rashly, I must have a reason to do this!" ”
"I don't care what your reason is! You can't go to Jingzhou! Li Xuanyi said with a cold face.
Liang Yan snorted coldly, "It's you who insist on going your own way!" It's you who can't listen to others! ”
The thirteen and others, as well as the guards brought by Li Xuanyi, were all stunned.
Did you hug each other affectionately just now? Was it still lingering just now? Is this a blink of an eye? How can you say that when you quarrel, you quarrel?
Neither of them knows what to do.
Persuade, right? Who is helping and persuading whom? There's no place for them to talk, doesn't he?
Don't persuade them, just watch them stand on the official road and continue to argue with cold faces?
At the time of the stalemate between the two.
Suddenly, I heard another sound of horses' hooves coming from afar.
Everyone looked back.
A group of men dressed in compact uniforms, armed with bows and arrows or swords and spears, came on horseback.
The Thirteenth and the others immediately recognized that this costume was the gang that robbed and killed them in the first place!
"That's them!" Mi'er immediately shouted loudly.
That group of people probably didn't expect to meet so many people here, and they were stunned.
Seeing that Mi'er shouted, Li Xuanyi gestured, and the guards he led immediately turned on their horses, and angrily rushed to the group that arrived behind and shouted to kill.
The group of people who robbed and killed Liang Yan really didn't expect that they still had so many helpers hiding here! Immediately the battle was in chaos, turning the horse's head around, and hurriedly fleeing for his life.
One of them was careless, and he almost fell off his horse, and even stumbled with his horse.
Li Xuanyi frowned, looked at Liang Yan and said, "Let's go, go to the town in front first, if you want to go, you have to stay, say it slowly!" ”
Liang Yan nodded and turned over neatly on the horse.
The chic posture surprised Li Xuanyi very much.
"I'll go first, and I'll be waiting for you in the town ahead!" Liang Yan waved at him and said.
Li Xuanyi nodded and led people to arrest the group of escapees.
The thirteenth and the others continued to escort Liang Yan and walked forward.
Acting separately, Mo ran out for more than ten miles, and suddenly a group of people jumped out of the forest by the roadside.
Look at the dress, and the person who ran away just now should be a group of people.
Come and see that they want to intercept in front and chase the soldiers in the back, and they will outflank Liang Yan in the middle, so it's a pot!
It's just that they didn't expect Li Xuanyi to appear at this time with people.
There were twenty or thirty people on the other side.
Liang Yan and they originally had more than thirty people, and now there are twenty or thirty people left by Li Xuanyi to escort her, and they are guards who have just come down from the battlefield and have already killed red-eyed, and their momentum is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
As soon as the two sides encountered, the other immediately fell behind.
Thirteen has been tightly guarding Liang Yan's side, not allowing anyone to approach.
Many people probably wanted to try the power of the medicinal powder dispensed by Liang Yan, and they shook out the medicine bag one after another.
The guards left by Li Xuanyi didn't seem to have enough, and they saw the other party fall off their horses with a puff, and they didn't move anymore.
Even among their own men, two of them, who had not yet inhaled the powder, slipped off their horses.
Liang Yan looked at everyone helplessly, they were in an advantage, can they use the medicine?
The people who had tried the power of the medicinal powder looked at Liang Yan's gaze and became more and more respectful.
Thirteen looked at her with a smile, quite proud of her.
The guards left behind by Li Xuanyi stepped forward and arched their hands: "Lang Jun, what are your instructions now?" ”
Liang Yan looked at the people who fell to the ground, dead or injured or unconscious, "Take them back, wait for the son of the world to come back, and wait for the son of the world to fall!" ”
Liang Yan and the others came to the inn in the town first.
Li Xuanyi and the others also rushed back after about half an hour.
He didn't have time to change into his dusty and even blood-soaked clothes, and pushed open her door, revealing a tall figure standing in the doorway.
Liang Yan was standing by the window, looking back at him.
This time, there are not so many onlookers, and it is a good time to talk about old love.
Li Xuanyi closed the door with his backhand.
Looking at her expression, there was affection and helplessness, "Why did you come?" ”
Liang Yan smiled, changed the topic and said, "You have lost weight!" ”
Not only has he lost weight, but his whole personality seems to have changed. If he used to be a cold nobleman, he didn't know how cruel the world was. Now he is calm and flashy, he really seems to be mature, capable, and calm, with a decisive kingly spirit, and the beautiful hair under his nose and lower lip adds to his mature man's temperament.
Li Xuanyi stepped forward and hugged Liang Yan.
This time, he just gently hugged her into his arms, as if he was holding some rare treasure, but he was afraid of breaking it.
Liang Yan looked up at him and grinned, "I'm here, don't drive me away!" ”
Li Xuanyi sighed, "Do you know how much I miss you?" Even if you sleep in the wilderness and occasionally take a nap, you will dream of you, dream of you smiling at me, dream of you being angry with me. It's nice to see you. But Jingzhou is not what you can imagine, and the battlefield is not where you should go. I'm not always in the barracks, so I can't be with you. I don't feel at ease with you in that place. You are obedient, just this time, listen to me, and go back to the capital. Wait for me to triumph, and I will listen to you in everything in the future, okay? Wherever you want to go, let's go, Jiangdong, Mobei, whatever you like, okay? ”
Liang couldn't help but be drawn to the future he described.
Liang Jiu shook his head and said: "I didn't come here impulsively, I brought good things, I will definitely be able to help you, and I am a doctor, there are never too many military doctors in the army, let me go, I am not a burden!" ”
When Li Xuanyi heard this, he hugged her a little tighter in his arms, "No one said that you are a burden......"
The wind blew in through the window, bringing in a hint of the kitchen's scent.
There seemed to be a lot of guards standing in the backyard, whispering and laughing.
For a moment, it seems that the years are quiet, and time can slow down.
She leaned into his arms, raising her hand to gently touch the slightly prickly beard on his chin.
He looked down at her, his eyes doting.
He suddenly relaxed his tone, like Zhong Qi's voice, low, but extraordinarily charming, "When I met you, I found that you were different from the woman next to me, you could let me get close, but you wouldn't reject you." After slowly getting in touch, I realized that not only did I not exclude me, but I actually liked the feeling of being with you. Look at your smile, look at your persistence in not admitting defeat. It's up to you to do everything you do. I thought that keeping you by my side and giving you everything you wanted was to like it. It's the best for you, it's for me. ”
Liang Yan raised her eyes to look at him.
She knows that most men are not good at expressing themselves, even if they hide a mountain in their hearts, it is not easy to spit out the face of a tree from his mouth. What's more, in an ancient patriarchal society like Li Xuanyi, it is even more difficult for the children raised by princes and nobles to lower their heads and admit their feelings.
"But when I came here, I really experienced life and death on the battlefield, and I understood. The old idea was really a bit ridiculous. The Holy One appointed me to be the lieutenant, but I know that is not what I wanted. I volunteered to be a pioneer officer and fight the front. Whenever there is a setback, every time the battle is unfavorable, I always think of you. I think of your persistence in the capital, in Jiangdong, to fight the plague, your calmness, your indifference, and your life and death aside. Inexplicably, it always makes me feel strong from the bottom of my heart! It always makes me feel like I'm in a desperate place. Li Xuanyi hugged her, looked out the window, and said slowly.
