Chapter 162: Call it a day

Chen Qianyun was carried back by Zhang Yuan.

Although Xuan Zijun offered to help Zhang Yuan carry it for a while many times along the way, he was all refused.

Gently put Chen Qianyun on the bed and covered her with the quilt, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but move his gaze to the other party's pretty face. Unlike the first time he saw her sleeping face, this time, Zhang Yuan was not so flustered, but sat on the edge of the bed and was fascinated for a while.

Sleeping Beauty's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they would open in the next second. A wisp of smoke eyebrows is naturally outlined along the white skin, and the pen reaches the tip of the eyebrows, but it is just like an autumn wave, which is inexhaustible gentleness.

Looking down from the eyes, a small Qiong's nose is slightly upturned, revealing her skin like mutton fat jade. The nose is down again, and the red lips that are still lightly opened in their sleep, and their delicate appearance makes Zhang Yuan's heart ripple.

Alas, what's wrong with me? Zhang Yuan came back to his senses, patted his head, and couldn't help but curse himself secretly. After scolding, he looked at the door with some weakness, and was relieved to see that no one was passing by.

Zhang Yuan stood up, like a thief, and tiptoed towards the door. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he left the room, he collided with Tae-mong's sister Tae-ho-rye.

Zhang Yuan, who thought he had done something wrong, immediately turned red, and involuntarily lowered his head, trying to hide the expression on his face. How do you know that Tai Ho Qian is also the same action, and while bowing his head, he apologized for disturbing Zhang Yuan.

"Ahem." Zhang Yuan raised his eyes and secretly looked at the other party, and after finding that Tai Heqian was not staring at him, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, pretending to be normal and pointed to the door behind him, "What, are you here to find Qianyun?" She's just gone to bed, so you'd better come back later. ”

Tai Ho Qian shook his head and said, "I'm not here to find Miss Chen, I'm here to find you." ”

"Oh, didn't you come to her...... Wait a minute, you said you came to me! Hmm, what's the matter? Zhang Yuan almost couldn't react when he heard Tai Ho Qian's words.

"That's, that, I just wanted to ask, is Taeon back?" Tai Ho Qian hesitated for a long time, and finally asked a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yuan let out an "oh" and quickly replied: "Tai Meng, he hasn't come back yet, but don't worry, he's just staying in the city for a while, or he'll be back soon." ”

Time rewinds to the last time Zhang Yuan and Chen Enxu looked at each other.

Zhang Yuan bit his lower lip with his teeth, and he had also thought about what the situation would be on the day of the East Window incident. But he never thought that this day was today; He never thought that Chen Qianyun's father and daughter would meet again, and it would end like this.

Is Chen Qianyun too messy?

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the way he left. Even though he knew that this path would lead him to a bad end, he still didn't raise any objections, and just walked forward step by step with Chen Qianyun.

For some reason, when Chen Qianyun raised his sword to threaten, countless pictures suddenly flashed in Zhang Yuan's mind: he told her about his dream, he recited "Mo Shangsang" aloud, she opened her mouth to scold him for being a villain, and the rainy night when he carried her on his back......

For a moment, Zhang Yuan could even clearly feel that there was an invisible and intangible bond here, firmly binding him and Chen Qianyun together. It felt like some kind of magnetism that gave him the courage to execute without hesitation.

At the moment when Chen Qianyun said, "Let's go".

At that moment, Zhang Yuan didn't have a trace of distraction in his heart, and he didn't have any thoughts about leaving Chen Qianyun.

“...... As long as you make a choice, you just need to feel it with your heart...... When carrying karma has become a choice, all that remains for one to do is to feel...... If you keep the mentality of hesitating to do things when you do things, and think about giving up when you encounter difficulties, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything well......"

The cautious pace became calm, the hesitant gaze became more determined, and the rapid breathing began to slow down.

Zhang Yuan knew that this was not his path alone, nor was it Chen Qianyun's path alone. When he decided to listen to her decision, the matter became a difficult situation they all faced.

Previously, he was the principal offender, and she was an accomplice; Now she is the principal offender, he is an accomplice.

When going down the stairs, Zhang Yuan leaned down and helped Chen Qianyun climb up his back with his hand. The weight that night returned to Zhang Yuan's back again, the only difference was that this time the weight did not represent a burden.

Probably because he was too tired, when Zhang Yuan stepped on the flat ground again, Chen Qianyun had already fallen asleep on his back. Feeling the snort on his neck, Zhang Yuan sighed and quickened his pace to walk outside.

This prison is strange, when Zhang Yuan came in, it felt like a labyrinth, but when it was time to go out, he turned two or three corners and saw the collapsed gate.

When his feet took the first step towards the outside of the prison corridor, Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly shook and he subconsciously looked back. The situation inside the prison was very different from when he entered.

Because Zhang Yuan can clearly remember that he and Chen Qianyun once complained about how empty this prison was, and there was not a single prisoner. But looking back now, each cell has its own occupant, and the prison is filled with people dressed in all kinds of clothes.

The sense of astonishment hit Zhang Yuan's brain, and he woke up in shock, recalling the scene when he carried Chen Qianyun downstairs on his back, and from that time on, they walked all the way through the cells that were inhabited.

No, there's something wrong!

"Zhang Yuan, are you guys out? Shen Cheng said that he couldn't enter the prison, and the entire perimeter of the prison was controlled by the nobleman named Chen Enxu, and the army of Xishan City was about to arrive. At the moment when Zhang Yuan was stunned, Xuan Zijun's voice came in.

By the way, Chen Enxu must have brought private soldiers with him when he came!

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that he had grasped some clue, and asked in his mind: "Xiao Xuan, you contact Tai Meng and Tietou and ask where they are." ”

"Okay." Xuan Zijun stopped talking after answering, and Zhang Yuan also hurried through the gate of the prison and walked towards the remote corner on the side.

The private soldiers guarding outside the door wanted to interrogate at first, especially after seeing clearly that the person lying on his back was his eldest lady, he immediately wanted to tell Zhang Yuan to stop.

But these extraneous guys were stopped by the people who followed Zhang Yuan, and the people who came out of the prison with Chen Enxu's orders fulfilled the nobleman's promise to his daughter to the end.

Zhang Yuan, Tai Meng and Tietou replied, they said that a group of private soldiers rushed in behind, followed by a nobleman, and most of the nobles were Chen Enxu. Chen Enxu told them to pretend to be prisoners in the cell first, and confiscated their weapons and armor, but he promised to let the private soldiers leave with their weapons and armor when the matter was over. ”

After hearing Xuan Zijun's words, Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, but behind the enlightenment was a new suspicion.

Chen Enxu came this time, obviously to wipe Tong Hanfang's buttocks. Their approach is simple, they use private soldiers to pretend to be prisoners, just as they use private soldiers to pretend to be soldiers, all in order to cope with the inspection from above.

At that time, even if the above asked about the details, all the details would still be correct, but the private soldiers who were instigated by Tai Meng to rush in were replaced by the private soldiers under Chen Enxu.

But Zhang Yuan still couldn't understand why there wasn't a single prisoner serving a sentence in a huge Xishan City?

Chen Enxu and Tong Hanfang's approach undoubtedly aggravated Zhang Yuan's doubts, if these big people were really frank, why should they hide it like now.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his mind, this was not something he should be thinking about now.

Under the guidance of Xuan Zijun, Zhang Yuan successfully received Shen Ying's response, and the two quickly passed through the small half of Xishan City to the place where they escaped from Xishan City that night.

Xuan Zijun, who was used by Zhang Yuan as a means of concealment, and Taiyong, who had arrived at the place a long time ago, were standing on the city wall at this time waiting for the three people who came over. The group was hoisted down to the ground outside the stone city with ropes, and then hurried towards the exit of the wooden city.

In fact, no matter who it is, they are worried about the safety of Tai Meng and Tietou at this time, but they also understand that only by saving themselves can they save the two bitter people in prison. So no one looked back, but just silently embarked on the return journey.

"Zhang Yuan, you've been carrying it for so long, let me carry it for you." Xuan Zijun was the first to speak.

Hearing someone shouting at him, Zhang Yuan raised his head, he looked at Xuan Zijun's face, and there was a trace of inexplicable self-blame hidden in the latter's expression. Of course, Zhang Yuan knew that the other party was consciously unable to come in handy, so it was like this.

But Zhang Yuan shook his head and rejected Xuan Zijun's kindness: "No need, just leave it to me." Xiao Xuan, you just need to open the way in front, you have used magic for so long, and you are also quite tired. ”

"I'm not tired, in fact, it's all Brother Shen who is contributing! Zhang Yuan, I ...... I'm sorry I didn't help this time. Xuan Zijun lowered his head as he spoke.

"Xiao Xuan, raise your head, don't say this kind of thing again." Although Zhang Yuan himself was very tired, he still cheered up and said to Xuan Zijun, "Listen, all of us have played an indispensable role in this operation, and so have you. ”

"I ......"

"You can ask Shen Cheng and ask him if what I said is right. While the whole magic was built by him, without you, the connection between all of us would have been broken after he was attacked. Zhang Yuan looked at Xuan Zijun's eyes and said.

Zhang Yuan didn't say these words out of encouragement, in fact, what he said at this time was completely from his heart. Whether it was Xuan Zijun, Shen Ying, or Tai Yong, as well as Tai Meng and Tietou in prison, everyone did what they had to do, and they did it well.

Facing Xuan Zijun's still undetermined eyes, Zhang Yuan nodded affirmatively. In fact, Zhang Yuan himself didn't realize that after he said these words, the sunshine on his own haze face also reappeared.

Even though this operation was not completely satisfactory, Zhang Yuan saw the power of everyone working together. And the most important thing is that in this different ending, their basic goal is still achieved.

"Did you really succeed?" The brown-hooded figure muttered, and as Zhang Yuan and his party moved away, he slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows of the alley.
