As the war intensified, Lu Yifan and others also moved out of the Han Mansion, and then stuck to the city army camp day and night to meet the needs of emergencies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the evening, after a day of defensive battles, the city army camp became busy again, the sergeants cooked in the stove, rotated and changed positions to come and go in an endless stream, and from time to time in the camp can still hear bursts of painful wails everywhere, most of these voices are sent by the wounded soldiers, sword injuries are often accompanied by incomparably severe pain, the light is broken muscles and bones, the heavy is broken arms and amputations, this pain is far beyond the human endurance.
Lu Yifan, who led the army to fight a bloody battle on the city wall for a whole day, had just returned to his residence at this moment. Yin Xi and the others were busy cooking inside and out, while Han Ling'er and Tang Ruoxi and other women hurriedly ran here to check after learning that Lu Yifan and his party were back, this is already their daily habit, because Han Xiao's order women are not allowed to go into battle at will, so Han Ling'er and others can only stay in the Han Mansion every day and wait in fear, only when they learn that the enemy army is retreating every evening, they hurriedly come to the city army camp, the purpose is to see Lu Yifan and the others safe and sound for the first time.
In the room, Ah Chang carefully brought a basin of water to Lu Yifan, and before Lu Yifan was ready to roll up his sleeves to wipe the blood stains on his face, Han Linger took the lead in taking the towel in Ah Chang's hand, and slowly wiped it for Lu Yifan with concern in his eyes, while Lu Yifan sat there honestly after a slight difference and let Han Linger's slightly clumsy movements wipe his face more and more.
"Sit honestly, don't move!" Facing Lu Yifan, who couldn't help shaking his head, Han Ling'er shouted angrily, "You are moving around, let Miss Ben wipe your face!"
"Your towel is blocking my mouth and nose, if I don't move, I will be covered alive by you!" Lu Yifan explained with an aggrieved face.
"Even if you suffocate to death, you are not allowed to move!" Han Ling'er stretched out her pink fist and gently knocked on Lu Yifan's head, "Miss Ben has never served anyone, you don't know how grateful you dare to be so eventful!Hmph!" With that, Han Ling'er pressed the towel on Lu Yifan's face again.
"Ah!" With Lu Yifan's scream, Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan and the others in the room all laughed out loud, while Tang Ruoxi always sat on the side with a smile, looking at the pair in front of him and laughing back and forth.
"Yifan, it's good for someone to wipe your face, don't you think we still have to wash it ourselves?" Liu Sandao laughed playfully, and as he said that, he turned around and slapped the wet towel directly at Ji Yuan's face, pretending to be concerned and laughing, "Come on, come on, Ji Yuan, I'll wipe it for you!"
"Brother Liu, why does your towel smell rancid!" Ji Yuan, who was caught off guard, was caught by Liu Sandao, but he was just about to take Liu Sandao's towel to wipe his face, and a bad smell made him hurriedly throw Liu Sandao's towel out in disgust, "Have you not washed it for several years?"
"That...... Isn't it what Liu Ye usually uses to wipe his feet?" Luo Xiu, who was standing aside and had no experience in the world, said innocently.
"Okay, you Liu Sandao, see if I don't clean you up!"
"Haha......"
Seeing Ji Yuan and Liu Sandao picking up water in the room like this, everyone in the room laughed along, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more harmonious, even Ji Yi'er, who had never been smiling, was so provoked by this funny scene that she couldn't suppress it anymore, and gently pursed her lips to reveal a rare smile. And Han Ling'er couldn't help but become a little ruddy after seeing this unprovoked scene, and then shoved the towel fiercely into Lu Yifan's hand, and simply didn't wipe it.
"Yifan!"
Just when everyone in the room was talking and laughing, Xie Yun stepped in with a solemn face and said to Lu Yifan: "Someone is looking for you!"
"Who?"
"King Saint-West!"
Hearing the three words of King Shengxi, the noise in the room suddenly became a little smaller, and everyone looked at each other with a blank look of not knowing what to do, while Lu Yifan got up and smiled after feeling a little puzzled: "Please come inside to talk to King Shengxi!"
After a while, Yan Zheng with a smile on his face appeared in front of Lu Yifan, and today's Yan Zheng looked full of red eyebrows, guessing that his mood must be very good.
"Sect Master Lu!" Yan Zheng said to Lu Yifan as soon as he entered the door, "The son of the Lu family in the past has turned into a famous Soul Sect Master, and it is really not what it used to be!"
"King Shengxi is too polite, Lu has always been an ignorant junior in front of you, if you hadn't rescued you several times, I, Ling'er and our Lu family would have suffered a catastrophe long ago!" Lu Yifan has always been grateful to Yan Zheng, so he will not show the slightest bit of the Soul Sect Sect Sect Master in front of Yan Zheng," Since I returned to Jinling City, I have been thinking about finding time to make a special trip to the house to visit, but because of the tight war, I made mistakes again and again, but I never thought that it would be the King of Shengxi who came to the door in person today, Lu is really ashamed!"
"What did Sect Master Lu say, you have done everything you can to protect the peace of the Holy Domain, and although this king is a descendant of the royal family, he can't help at all, and the person who should really be ashamed is this king!" Yan Zheng greeted politely, and as he spoke, he also took a cup of hot tea handed over by Ah Chang, and thanked him again and again, today he actually put his posture very lowly.
The careful Lu Yifan has actually realized this since Yan Zheng entered the door, the so-called nothing is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace, he is in a high position but he is greeted with a smile, and the ten * is a performance of asking for others. It's just that there are some things that Yan Zheng doesn't say himself, and Lu Yifan naturally won't pierce this layer of window paper.
"Now Jinling City is ambushed on all sides, so the best tea can't be transported in, so I can only brew some clear tea, and I hope that King Shengxi won't be surprised!" Lu Yifan picked up the teacup on the desk and saluted Yan Zhengyao.
"Sect Master Lu is too polite!" Yan Zheng also raised the teacup in his hand and saluted Lu Yifan back, "I don't know if Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu are okay now?"
"With King Lao Shengxi worried, my father and mother are very good!" Lu Yifan spoke directly and without words, it seemed that he didn't plan to take the initiative to ask Yan Zheng about his intentions.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!hehe......" Yan Zheng smiled and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
Next, the two of them looked at each other with a smile on their faces and tasted tea, and for a while, no one was there.
"Ahem...... "Drinking more than half of a cup of hot tea, Yan Zheng couldn't help but cough lightly a few times, and then chuckled quite embarrassedly, "Actually, this king came today, first, I want to catch up with Sect Master Lu, and second, I want to have a good talk with Sect Master Lu!"
"Oh, it's rare for the King of the Holy West to have such a good idea, but Lu is naturally disrespectful! It's just that I don't know what the King of the Holy West wants to talk about with Lu?" Lu Yifan got off the donkey and asked bluntly.
"Well...... Hehe......" Yan Zheng's words didn't continue, he just glanced at Ah Chang, who was standing aside and waiting carefully, and the four open inner room doors.
Of course, Lu Yifan understood what he meant, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered: "Ah Chang, you go out first! by the way, close the door, there is nothing special, don't let anyone come in and disturb me to catch up with the King of the Holy West!"
"Yes!" Ah Chang obediently bowed to Lu Yifan and Yan Zheng slightly, and then retreated slowly and softly.
And Yan Zheng's eyes followed Ah Chang's footsteps until she closed the door tightly from the outside, and then slowly took it back.
"Before, Lu Jun also specially asked me to thank King Shengxi, if it weren't for your help, then Fluttershy and his father would definitely be implicated because of us!" Lu Yifan said to Yan Zheng with a smile, "King Shengxi's house is kind and righteous, Lu admires!"
"Hehe, it's just a gesture, it's really not enough to worry about!" Yan Zheng seemed to have something on his mind, so he didn't seem to be distracted by Lu Yifan's thanks, but thought to himself, "Sect Master Lu, there are no outsiders in this room, if you don't give up, can this emperor call you Yifan?"
"Of course!" Lu Yifan said and made a gesture of invitation to Yan Zheng, "King Shengxi can call it whatever he wants!"
"Okay, good!" Yan Zheng agreed absentmindedly, and then he slowly raised his head, the smile on his face before had disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn look, "Yifan, this king wants to hear your opinion on the overall situation of the Holy Domain now! This king hopes that you can put aside the difference between your and my identities before you speak, there is no Saint West King in this room today, and there is no Soul Sect Sect Master, only Yan Zheng and Lu Yifan, who are friends for the year!"
Listening to Yan Zheng's obvious words, Lu Yifan's heart became more and more uneasy. The more Yan Zheng behaved so intimately at this moment, the more Lu Yifan felt uncomfortable for a while, he always felt that this was Yan Zheng playing a trick on himself.
In fact, since Lu Yifan, who was in Xihuang Mountain, heard the news that Zhao Wuyang, the commander of the Golden Guard, died tragically in the dense forest outside Jinling City, he had great doubts about what happened that night. Although Yan Shuang and others had already pointed the finger at Yan Zheng at that time, Lu Yifan still didn't want to believe it in his heart, after all, in his consciousness, Yan Zheng had always been a good person who knew right from wrong. But although Lu Yifan was stubborn at that time, in fact, his heart was still shaken by this incident, after all, in the dense forest that night, apart from them and Zhao Wuyang's men and horses, the only ones who appeared were Yan Zheng and a group of mysterious masters. And later, when Lu Yifan was talking to Lu Haoqian, Lu Haoqian also repeatedly warned Lu Yifan to be careful of Yanzheng, saying that this person's scheming is extremely deep with the city government, far from being comparable to the other three holy kings, which also left a trace of doubt in Lu Yifan's heart. The so-called crowd is golden, since the people around him have some unkind thoughts about Yan Zheng, Lu Yifan has become no longer firm over time, so when Yan Zheng suddenly came to visit tonight, Lu Yifan would behave so tactfully.
"The overall situation of the Holy Domain?" Lu Yifan frowned slightly, and then pretended to smirk, "I don't know what the overall situation that King Shengxi is referring to?"
"Lan Shixun plotted to rebel, and now the army has come to the city, although Han Xiao led the army to fight to the death, but the actual situation in Jinling City is still getting worse, do you think that if the two sides continue to wear down like this, what are the chances of us repelling the rebels?" Yan Zheng asked in a wordy voice, "Even if the rebels are repulsed, then what should we do next? If Lan Shixun leads the army to retreat to the northern frontier, with His Majesty's current strength, he is afraid that he will not have time to look north, then the holy realm will not be divided into two factions, the north and the south? What do you think about this?"
Listening to Yan Zheng's eloquent words, Lu Yifan gradually changed from pretending to be confused at the beginning to being really confused, and now he really doesn't understand what Yan Zheng means here.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yifan said faintly: "The current situation in the Sacred Domain is indeed not optimistic!, and in the past few days, I have found that the offensive of the rebels has begun to gradually decline, which is very likely to show that Lan Shixun has successfully dissuaded Wei Li's willful action, maybe he will return to the dilemma of besieging but not attacking that we are most worried about!"
Lu Yifan didn't know the news that Lan Shixun was dead, so his current speculation was reasonable.
"That's good!" Yan Zheng pretended to agree and nodded repeatedly, "And the last thing this king wants is the destruction of the royal family, and the holy domain will fall into the hands of Lan Shixun." And I also don't want to see the Sanctuary divided into two factions, the north and the south, so if we lose this battle, the Sanctuary will be in danger! If this battle is drawn, the Sanctuary will still be in danger! Only by winning and defeating Lan Shixun in one fell swoop can we keep the Sanctuary peaceful!"
Listening to Yan Zheng's words, Lu Yifan nodded silently, although he still didn't understand Yan Zheng's intention to say so much, but so far, he hadn't found anything wrong with what Yan Zheng said.
"What does the King of the Saint West want to say? Why don't you tell me directly?" Lu Yifan finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Since the King of the Saint West is willing to talk to Lu in peace, then I hope that the King of the Saint West can be frank and straightforward if he has anything to say!"
"Okay!" Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Yan Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of determination, and then he stared straight at Lu Yifan, and only after brewing for a long time did he open his mouth and say word by word, "Yifan, this king believes you to say the following words to you, so no matter what you think after listening to it, this king hopes that you will not forget the love between us!"
Lu Yifan stared at Yan Zheng's increasingly heavy eyes, and his heart couldn't help but be raised to his throat, he always felt that he was about to hear some extremely shocking secret, so he hurriedly held his breath and listened attentively.
"Actually, this king wants to ......"
"Bang! bang!"
Just when Yan Zheng was about to open his mouth to tell everything and everything, a crisp knock on the door suddenly interrupted his words, making Yan Zheng and Lu Yifan stunned at the same time.
"Who?" Lu Yifan first arched his hand at Yan Zheng with an apologetic face, and then asked with some annoyance, "Ah Chang didn't tell you not to disturb me......
"Yifan, it's me!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan's questioning words to finish, a voice sounded outside the door again, and the person who spoke turned out to be Han Ling'er, which made Lu Yifan, who was originally full of anger, stunned for a moment, he knew very well that although Han Ling'er had the temper of the eldest lady, he never lost his sense of proportion in key matters.
"Ling'er, why are you looking for me?" Lu Yifan asked softly.
"Yifan, there is an old friend who wants to see you!" Han Ling'er's voice sounded a little excited at the moment, as if she had expected that Lu Yifan was extremely eager to see this old friend, "Originally, I didn't want to disturb you, but this old friend insisted on seeing you immediately." That's why I took the liberty of interrupting your conversation with the King of the Saints!"
"Old friend?" Hearing this, Lu Yifan and Yan Zheng showed a look of doubt on their faces at the same time. However, Yan Zheng's reaction was very fast, and he saw a smile on his face again, and slowly spoke: "It's okay, I must be a very good friend who can see you in such a hurry, it's better for you to go see your old friend first, and this king will come to you tomorrow to talk about the Holy Domain!"
"This ......" Lu Yifan looked at Yan Zheng with some embarrassment, but Yan Zheng waved his hand indifferently, and laughed loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, what's the relationship between you and me?
"So...... It's okay!" Lu Yifan reluctantly agreed, and then got up and personally sent Yan Zheng out of the inner room, and at this moment, in the corner of the outer hall, there was a person wearing a hat and a white robe, because this person was facing the corner of the wall and the hat was pressed very low by him, so when Lu Yifan and Yan Zheng walked past him, no one could see his face clearly.
Lu Yifan ignored this person, but kept greeting Yan Zheng and sent Yan Zheng out of the door, and after sending Yan Zheng away at the door for a long time, he slowly turned around. At this moment, there was a touch of coldness on Lu Yifan's face, and he looked at the person standing in the corner coldly.
"Sect Master Lu, might as well guess who I am?" The person in the corner didn't seem to notice Lu Yifan's cold gaze at all, and actually guessed a riddle with him, "Look at Sect Master Lu's memory?"
"Are you ......" Lu Yifan said word by word, when his first two words came out, it was obviously cold and piercing, but after he finished saying the word 'you are', the cold color on his face suddenly turned into a touch of ecstasy and excitement, I saw him walk behind the man in three steps and two steps, and laughed eagerly with his eyes full ......of enthusiasm, "I was one of the few witnesses when I made a private agreement with Ling'er for life, how can you expect me to forget you?"
"Haha......"
With Lu Yifan's laughter, the people in the corner of the wall also laughed heartily, and then he slowly reached out and took off the hat he was wearing on his head, and suddenly turned around, and at the moment when he turned around, Lu Yifan's bold bear hug pounced directly, and he coughed again and again, and kept complaining: "I really can't stand the etiquette of you martial arts practitioners, always so rude......" Although he said that, his hands were also tightly on Lu Yifan's back.
"Haha......" Lu Yifan just laughed wantonly, and he was extremely happy at the moment.
"Yulou, we finally meet again!"
......
