Chapter 216: Seeing each other and resenting each other
readx;? Just when Lu Yifan and Han Ling'er were saying goodbye in the Wanli Pavilion, Lan Chen's convoy had already bypassed Xiaofeng Slope and came to the north of Xiaofeng Slope to prepare to embark on the journey to Saibei, but there was only one road north of Xiaofeng Slope that could accommodate dozens of carriages, and the most unfortunate thing was that this only road to the north was blocked by another team of people at the moment, and these convoys that were executed at the intersection and blocked Lan Chen and his party were the group of people led by Liu Sandao and Xie Yun who were waiting for Lu Yifan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seven feet tall, tall and vigorous posture, although not burly, but still give people a very strong sense of strength, a green robe with the wind is extraordinarily elegant, between the steps like a shadow with the wind, extremely chic and neat. Born with a cold look of horizontal eyebrows, his face is well-defined, and the slightly thin lips and teeth under the high bridge of the nose give people an extremely arrogant feeling, except that his skin is slightly darker than before, and his body is a little stronger, Lan Chen's appearance has not changed much, and his face is still full of that extremely unaccustomed and domineering cold and arrogant appearance.
In addition to the thirty black-clothed guards holding steel knives, there were also two attendants waiting at any time by Lan Chen's side, and the most interesting thing was that the ages of these two attendants were very different. One is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is quite shrewd, with fine skin and tender flesh always having a flattering smile on his face, like a servile appearance. This person's name is 'Sanchun', and he is a little scholar who has grown up with Lan Chen since he was a child.
The other person is already full of vicissitudes, gray hair and wrinkles on the face indicate that this person must be not young, at least more than seventy. The old man's expression was always indifferent to everything, although he followed Lan Chen's side, his eyelids were always slightly drooping, and he didn't seem to have the slightest interest in everything around him. Although his duty is to be a housekeeper, in fact, there are few people in the Lan family who have actually seen him, and even Lan Chen only knows to call him "Hai Lao". Mr. Hai gives people a strange feeling, that is, this old butler seems to be less enthusiastic, but more arrogant from the heart. And the most important thing is such a plain Hai Lao, but in his bones, there is a terrifying aura that only the best masters have.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hai Lao is actually Lan Chen's real reliance.
"Who is there in front of us? Why are you blocking our way?Do you know who our son is?" Miharu hurriedly rushed to the front of the convoy, jumping to his feet and shouting, "Hurry up and call your master out, and let him order someone to get out of the way for us!"
"Get out!" For Sanchun's shouting, none of the Wenyang warriors sitting in the carriage to rest paid attention to him, only Yin Xi, who was sitting at the back, glanced at Sanchun impatiently, and then spit out such an unceremonious sentence coldly from between his teeth.
"Hey, you blind horseman, you dare to talk to me like this? It's really blind to your dog's eyes!" Where has Sanchun been scolded like this, he is a brutal master in Jinling City on weekdays, and the so-called dog beating also depends on the master, no matter how bad Sanchun is, he is also a person from Lanfu, looking at Jinling City today, who else dares not to give face to Lanfu? So, at this moment, even in the face of Yin Xi, a fierce man whose arms were thicker than his thighs, Sanchun was not timid at all, not only did he not let his mouth at all, but he even waved his thin arm and stretched out his hand to hit Yin Xi's face. This is Sanchun's trick, don't talk much, generally just do it first, no matter how ruthless the other party is, he will be shocked by this sudden suddenness, after all, such a thin person dares to be so arrogant, and there must be something behind it.
"Bang!"
It's a pity that Yin Xi is not from Jinling City, and naturally he will not pay attention to Sanchun's little trick to deal with the market, so far he is facing Sanchun's slap, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a sneer, and then he shot like electricity, and his thick wrist was Sanchun's skinny arm, which only made Sanchun feel as if his arm had hit a piece of pig iron, and it hurt badly.
And before Sanchun could cry out in pain, he saw Yin Xi's wrist suddenly flip, and he threw it upward, and then a loud slap hit Sanchun's thin-skinned and tender face impartially.
"Smack!"
With a crisp and even pleasant crisp sound, I saw that Sanchun's whole person was actually slapped by Yin Xi and spun around in place, and then fell to the ground with a bang. It may be that Yin Xi's speed is too fast and too strong, so that Sanchun not only did not cry out in pain after receiving this slap, but even sat on the ground in a daze, looking at Yin Xi's eyes full of doubt. Obviously, Sanchun has been completely blinded by Yin Xi's slap, and even the leisurely swollen half of his face has long lost his sense of pain.
"Haha......" Facing Yin Xi's beautiful blow, the Wenyang warriors sitting in the other carriages laughed one after another.
"Bastard thing!"
At this time, Lan Chen's black-clothed guards couldn't bear it, and they only heard the black-clothed guards led by them shouting angrily, and then in a burst of "puff" swords drawn out of the sheath, more than 30 guards holding sharp steel knives surrounded them. And seeing this scene, these Wenyang warriors couldn't sit still, and they drew their swords from under the carriage and followed.
"Don't mess around"
Suddenly, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind the black-clothed guards, and then I saw Lan Chen and the two Hai Lao walking up unhurriedly, and wherever they went, the black-clothed guards standing in front of them automatically separated a passage.
"Childe ......" The guards bowed respectfully to Lan Chen.
After coming to the front, Lan Chen first glanced down at Sanchun, who was still full of surprise, especially when he saw the swollen half of Sanchun's face, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he glanced at Yin Xi and the others indifferently, and asked lightly, "Who among you is in charge?"
"Me!"
Without waiting for Lan Chen's words to fall, he saw Liu Sandao, who was carrying a long knife on his shoulder with a playful face, stepped on the box on the carriage with a "puff", and strode over from the top of a row of convoys, because his own height was extremely scary, plus he was standing on top of the carriage at the moment, it was even more majestic, so that if Lan Chen and the others wanted to see Liu Sandao clearly, they had to tilt their heads to an unbearable angle.
"Master Liu......" The warriors of Wenyang also saluted Liu Sandao one after another.
"En!" Liu Sandao shook his hand casually, and the end of the scabbard of the long knife was on Yin Xi's shoulder, and Yin Xi hurriedly raised his head and waited for Liu Sandao's order, "Why are you fighting with people?"
"Back to Liu Ye, we were ordered to wait for our master here, and these people who didn't know where they came from came and told us to get out of the way. But the order we received was to wait for the master on the north side of Xiaofeng Slope, and this is the north side of Xiaofeng Slope, so when the master has not arrived, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, I will not move!" Yin Xi said righteously, and when he heard Yin Xi's words, Liu Sandao's eyes inadvertently flashed a playful smile.
In fact, the "people who don't know where they came from" that Yin Xi said were actually just that he deliberately pretended not to know. Regarding the news that Lan Chen was coming, Liu Sandao and the others had already known about it, not only did they know it, but they also received Lu Hao's instructions before setting off, they must go with Lan Chen, and they must not be separated, the purpose is to be able to monitor the actions of Lan Chen and his party on the way. Therefore, Liu Sandao ordered Yin Xi and others to swing the carriage away to block the way, not because it was arrogant and unreasonable, but deliberately. Whoever comes, they will give way, but Lan Chen and the others will not give an inch.
"Oh, that's it, then you can't do anything with others? You can persuade people to take a detour!" Liu Sandao is usually a peacemaker because he is a 'knowledgeable and reasonable'.
"Nonsense, in addition to this road, which road can you take in a carriage?" a black-clothed guard couldn't help but shout angrily, "Acquaintances, hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise you will regret coming to the boundary of Jinling City!"
"Don't don't, everything is easy to discuss, easy to discuss......" Liu Sandao still looked like a hippie smile, although he was polite in words, but his condescending appearance was not at all jealous.
"Discuss it, either get out of the way, or let you bastards walk around without eating!" the black-clothed guard scolded and deliberately shook the steel knife in his hand.
"Such arrogant people, it's a pity that these brothers of mine have always eaten soft rather than hard!" Xie Yun's sneer suddenly sounded from behind Wen Yang Warrior, and then he saw Xie Yun, who was dressed in a black robe, walking forward with a cloud-piercing gun.
Xie Yun has always been shameless towards Lan Shixun, so now he is just as disgusted with Lan Chen.
"We are under the order of the Emperor to escort Prince Lan Chen to the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion to serve the order! Since we have the emperor's order in our body, it must not be delayed at all, so I would like to ask you to avoid it for the time being, so as not to delay the emperor's order, none of us can afford it!" Hai Lao, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he moved the emperor out, obviously he didn't want to dwell too much on this matter. Hai Lao's voice was neither yin nor yang, and his tone seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, which made people a little unpredictable about his joy and anger, and the strange thing was that when Hai Lao spoke, his eyes looked at Liu Sandao and Xie Yun repeatedly with deep meaning, and there was a hint of a vague smile in his eyes from time to time.
And when Liu Sandao and Xie Yun noticed Hai Lao, they were also shocked at the same time, and the two of them could clearly feel how terrifying Hai Lao's aura was 'inadvertently'. As for Liu Sandao, he was even surprised that Hai Laoxiu was strong, and at the same time, a sense of familiarity inexplicably rose in his heart, but he couldn't find the slightest reason for it for a while.
"I'm curious who your master is?" Lan Chen was not angry, although his face was not very good-looking, but his tone was quite calm. His temper is indeed much more restrained than it was back then.
"It's me!"
Before Xie Yun could answer, a flat voice suddenly came from Xiaofeng Slope, and then everyone saw an extremely fast figure that rushed from Xiaofeng Slope in a few flashes, and when it approached the bottom of the slope, its figure suddenly rose into the sky, and after a few weeks of gorgeous flipping in mid-air, it landed firmly between Lan Chen's and Xie Yun, and this person's face could not be more familiar to Lan Chen, it was his rival Lu Yifan from childhood to adulthood.
"Lu Yifan?" Lan Chen saw Lu Yifan here, and the surprise in his heart was far greater than his hostility towards Lu Yifan, "How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Lu Yifan asked with a smile, Lu Yifan actually didn't have that much hatred for Lan Chen, on the contrary, in Lu Yifan's consciousness, Lan Chen could even barely call him a friend, just a friend who was not very friendly to him.
"What are you doing here?" Lan Chen asked suspiciously, in fact, when he saw the people behind Lu Yifan and the team, he had already guessed a rough idea in his heart, but he still needed Lu Yifan's final confirmation.
"Of course, I went to the Border Guard Mansion to serve like you!" Lu Yifan laughed softly, "How many of the children of the family who are in Jinling City now have not been arranged to go out? His Majesty the Emperor ordered to step up the defense, this is naturally a good opportunity for us people to serve the Emperor, doesn't Lord Lan Shixun think so?"
Lu Yifan's words made Lan Chen's brows frown, he had always been very disgusted with Lu Yifan's clever tongue, and he had never taken advantage of Lu Yifan's quarrel since he was a child.
"You are also going to the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion?" Lan Chen didn't want to argue with Lu Yifan, so he asked to himself, "According to Lord Lu Haoqian's usual style, how could he be willing to send you to such a dangerous place?
"You Lan Chen can go, why can't I go Lu Yifan?" Lu Yifan glanced up and down Lan Chen meaningfully, and then said faintly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but your cultivation has made rapid progress, or it can be regarded as the fastest progress among the people I have ever seen!"
Lan Chen, who has been cultivating in Xuanzong, has now jumped from the original four-turn soul master to the realm of one-turn souls, and such a speed of progress is not even possible for few people to reach the hundreds of millions of trillions of beings in the entire holy realm, which makes Lu Yifan really surprised, after all, his own rapid improvement is due to the bloodline of the Immortal Divine Clan, and Lan Chen, as an out-and-out person from the Sacred Domain, can also progress so quickly, how can this not surprise Lu Yifan?
Lu Yifan's words also caused a change in Lan Chen's face, in fact, the moment Lu Yifan appeared, Lan Chen had already discovered that Lu Yifan's current cultivation would only be stronger than himself, and would never be weaker than himself. Now that Lu Yifan said these words again, in Lan Chen's opinion, this was a great mockery and humiliation of himself, which was also the most unacceptable thing for Lan Chen, who was arrogant by nature.
"Hmph!" Lan Chen snorted coldly, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Lu Yifan, you are really still so disgusting!"
Lu Yifan was stunned for a while, but soon he realized the reason why Lan Chen said this, and he smiled bitterly at the moment, but he didn't explain anything more.
"I originally thought that I was the only one who had the courage to go to the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, but I didn't want to meet a person here that I least wanted to see!" Lan Chen said in a cold voice, "Although I don't know why your father had the courage to send you to the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, I can tell you very clearly now, you and I have our own destiny when we get there, don't expect me to bring you any help!"
"It's not too late for you to say this after we arrive!" Lu Yifan was not angry, just pursed his lips and smiled, then turned around to himself, waved his hand at Yin Xi, signaled him to adjust the team, and then said to Lan Chen without looking back, "Maybe the person who needs help more will be you, not me!"
"Humph!"
As expected, Lu Yifan's words were still exchanged for only Lan Chen's disdainful snort.
"Oh, that's right!" Lu Yifan, who was watching his subordinates adjust the team, suddenly turned around, looked at Lan Chen, who had an ugly face, with a smile, and said jokingly, "I don't think you want to go the same way with me, you hate me, and I don't like you either, why don't we go separately from the two teams, what do you think?"
Lu Yifan knew Lan Chen's unyielding temperament, so he deliberately said: "But since our convoy is in front, then I will be unceremoniously one step ahead, as for you Lan Gongzi, just wait here for three or four hours before you go!"
After saying that, Lu Yifan didn't wait for Lan Chen to reply, so he walked to a carriage in the middle accompanied by Liu Sandao and Xie Feng, and then got into the carriage without looking back.
"Let's go!"
Yin Xi, who had been waiting at the front, waved his hand after seeing Lu Yifan enter the carriage, and then the convoy composed of ten carriages set off in a mighty manner.
And at this moment, only Lan Chen, who had his fists clenched and a look of disgust remained, and his eyes flickered with hesitation, as if he was considering whether to follow directly.
"Gong ...... Son...... Let's not go with them, these people are just a bunch of thugs, a bunch of blind horsemen...... They dare to beat me, that is, they don't give your son face......"
"Smack!"
Before waiting for the aggrieved Sanchun to finish the complaint, Lan Chen mercilessly backhanded Sanchun and gave Sanchun a hard slap again, Lan Chen didn't hate Lu Yifan very much about Sanchun being beaten, although Lan Chen was arrogant and indifferent by nature, but he was particularly clear in many things, especially when his subordinates were beaten, compared to the opponent who beat the dog and didn't look at the master, he despised his subordinates more for their incompetence and blind recklessness.
"Childe ......" Sanchun covered the other side of his face that had just been beaten by Lan Chen, and looked at Lan Chen aggrievedly and didn't dare to say anything more.
"I see that half of your face is too thin, so I help you make both sides look the same!" Lan Chen glanced at Sanchun coldly, and then walked towards his carriage with his sleeves flicked his sleeves, while Hai Lao followed expressionlessly, "Don't listen to Lu Yifan's nonsense, the more he won't let us follow, the more we have to keep up, if we really stay here for an hour or two, not only will we delay the emperor's order, but also lag behind Lu Yifan in this matter, so that others mistakenly think that I, Lan Chen, are afraid of him Lu Yifan!" And I will never allow this kind of thing to happen, the first person to arrive at the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion must be me Lan Chen, not him Lu Yifan! In this way, my father will not be embarrassed in front of His Majesty the Emperor in the future, do you understand?"
"Yes!" the black-clad guards agreed in unison.
"What about you?" Lan Chen sat in the carriage, leaned down slightly, and stared at Sanchun with a timid look in his eyes, "Do you understand?"
"I ...... Understood......" Miharu replied timidly.
"If you understand, why don't you hurry up and leave and wait for me to reward you?" Lan Chen snorted coldly, then turned around and got back into the carriage, ignoring Sanchun no more.
"Enlightenment...... Departure ......" Sanchun's face changed suddenly when he saw this, and then he hurriedly shouted, and with Sanchun's shout, the convoy that had been stranded for half a day finally moved slowly before the sun completely set.
There is only one way to go to the northern Xinjiang road, and there are several post stations along the way, and they are all in specific locations, all of which are the necessary places for the official and commercial convoys and people who are in a hurry, and now these two groups of people are only a few hundred meters before and after, and it must be difficult for them to separate this way.
