Chapter 517: Chu Yan's Decision
After days of investigation, the roster was in the Happy Forest, but it was heavily guarded and the masters were like clouds, and they didn't know the exact location of the roster, so it was difficult for the special combat team to engage in it for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chu Yan nodded, thinking that Feng Wuxian's theory was very reasonable, but this roster was the purpose of this trip, so there was no good way at the moment, so he could only choose to wait, maybe there would be some variables.
"Clan, are you still there?" At this time, Liu Futing's voice was remembered outside the door.
"Come in. ”
Liu Futing pushed the door in, with a little excitement on his face: "Sect Master, there is news on the roster, I just received the internal report, the roster is in the hands of Shennayi, and the food from the Nameless City has also arrived in Jincheng, I believe that Shennayi and the Xiahou family will make some moves in the next few days." ”
"Got it. Chu Yan nodded slightly: "Send someone to monitor Happy Forest's every move all day, and report any situation immediately." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it. ”
Seeing that Liu Futing had already left, Feng Wuxian hurriedly said: "Old Seven, Shen Naiyi has already made a move, what should we do? And this matter has been delayed for too long, we have to solve it as soon as possible." ”
Chu Yan nodded, knowing that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and it seemed that it really had to be resolved as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan said: "Third brother, if I guess correctly, Shennaichi will definitely personally escort this batch of food and supplies, and we will find a way when the time comes." ”
Feng Wuxian nodded: "Old Seven, what are you going to do with the Xiahou family?" I heard that Miss Mulan has a deep affection for you. ”
Hearing this, Chu Yan just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, in fact, he didn't know what to do.
If he could, Chu Yan really wanted to let the Xiahou family have a way out, but it didn't entirely depend on him, it also depended on the attitude of the Xiahou family, if they were obsessed, Chu Yan couldn't help it, and he would have to face it sooner or later.
A few days passed in a flash, and Xiahou Mulan was still the same as usual, growing up in the Sect Master's Mansion every day.
It's just that the little girl always seems to be preoccupied these days, and she can't be happy, sometimes she sits and sits in a daze, and secretly sheds tears.
Chang asked more than once in the past few days, but Xiahou Mulan didn't say anything, and in the end she really had no choice but to call Chu Yan over, but she was very knowledgeable, found a reason, and left the bamboo forest.
Looking at Chu Yan sitting opposite, Xiahou Mulan's heart seemed to pop out, her face was red and her ears were red, she couldn't say a word, and Mulanjun, who was usually heroic, suddenly became shy.
And Chu Yan was also confused, he had just come back from the Tianlou, and he was pulled here by Chang Zai, originally he thought there was something, but he didn't expect that he had just sat down and Chang Zai left, and he didn't know what the hell he was doing, so he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was embarrassed.
The two of them sat stupidly like this, no one paid attention to anyone, and after a long time, Xiahou Mulan mustered up the courage and opened her mouth first.
"I ...... I'm probably leaving the Golden City. ”
"Ah...... Where are you going?" Although Chu Yan said as if he didn't care, his heart stinged inexplicably.
"I don't know. Xiahou Mulan lowered her head, her voice was very soft, but with an extremely helpless sadness: "But I may not come back in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yan couldn't help frowning, knowing that the Xiahou family was planning to withdraw to the north, so this grain transportation was their last mission, and it was bound to be won, and the roster would definitely be taken away.
However, Chu Yan didn't understand a little, what was the reason why Shen Naiyi and Xiahou Che were so confident, thinking that the grain transportation would definitely succeed, and how did Xiahou Mulan know about this matter, it is impossible for Xiahou Che not to know that his daughter runs to the sect master's mansion every day, is there fraud in this.
Seeing that Chu Yan didn't speak for a long time, Xiahou Mulan raised her head violently, bit her lip gently, and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Will you miss me?"
"Huh? this ...... You know, I ...... Hmm......" Chu Yan was so nervous that he didn't know how to answer.
In fact, he really liked Xiahou Mulan a little bit in his heart, but the relationship between the two families was the same, and he didn't want to harm Xiahou Mulan's life, so he kept hiding and didn't want to admit it.
"Chu Yan, today I just want to ask for a word, a truth, do you like me or not? If you like it, please say it, I can leave everything behind and follow you, no matter where the world is, I am willing, really, as long as you say it, you like me." Xiahou Mulan seemed to have gone out, looking at Chu Yan expectantly, and crystal tears crossed her delicate face.
But she was destined to be disappointed, because after a long time, Chu Yan couldn't say this.
Xiahou Mulan was really desperate, she raised her head and smiled, but that laughter sounded to Chu Yan, but it was filled with endless desolation and sadness.
"Well, I already know the answer. ”
After a while, Xiahou Mulan slowly stood up, took out the long sword that Chu Yan forged for her, and reluctantly put it on the table, then turned around and walked out of the bamboo pavilion, and quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Chu Yan had been sitting there, always keeping his head down, not saying a word, his hands clenched, his nails already deeply embedded in his flesh.
A breeze blew, and a few lonely bamboo leaves fell down, Chu Yan took a deep breath, feeling like a boulder pressed against his chest, uncomfortable.
Chang Zai stood not far away, watching Chu Yan's every move, knowing that his current mood was not much better than that of Xiahou Mulan, but this was Chu Yan's decision, Chang Zai could not say anything, I could only hope that he would not regret today's hesitation.
There were two people sitting in the secret room of the Happy Forest, and Shen Naichi took out a letter and handed it to Yue Jianghong.
"Elder Yue, you will quietly go out of the city in the middle of the night, the grain is still in the warehouse of the Nameless City, you and the rest of the people there will transport the grain back, remember, you must bypass the Golden City, although the road will be very rough in this way, but it is very safe, I have notified the marshal to send troops to meet you, and then please give this letter to the marshal." ”
"Childe, aren't you going with us?" Yue Jianghong put the letter away, his tone a little worried.
"I can't leave yet. Shen Naichi smiled bitterly: "Chu Yan will definitely be suspicious if he doesn't see me, so I must be with the Xiahou family, and I have a deep blood feud with him, it's time to settle the score." ”
"Okay, since this is the case, the old man will take the first step, the son is careful in everything, and we will see you in the ancient country. ”
Kannai nodded with a smile and didn't say anything, in fact, to say something from his heart, although he thought that his plan was foolproof, he was still a little worried, and he had been thinking about what loopholes there were.
Xiahou Che finally waited for this exciting news, because just now Kanaichi had sent someone to inform him that the caravan was preparing to leave the city in the past two days.
Seeing the development of the situation, proceeding step by step according to his plan, Xiahou Che was very happy in his heart, and at the same time, he also knew that it had reached the most critical moment, so he hurriedly arranged for manpower.
According to the agreement between the Xiahou family and Shennaichi, the Xiahou family set up an ambush at the designated place in advance, and killed it immediately after Chu Yan appeared.
But Xiahou Che's plan was to kill all of them, so he asked his father and ancestor to lead people to set up an ambush at the designated place, and when he raised the fire, he would release a rocket to detonate the grain truck, and then rush out and kill all the remaining remnants of the army.
As for the battlefield this time, it was not in the eagle's beak stream, but in a forest one hundred and fifty miles northwest of Jincheng.
This is what Xiahou Che and Shen Naichi are optimistic about, because Chu Yan will definitely not do anything in the city, which is likely to hurt the innocent and cause chaos.
And the eagle's beak stream had already suffered a loss when he returned to Xiahou's house, if he chose to go from there this time, Chu Yan would definitely be suspicious, so the two of them chose this forest on the route around the eagle's beak stream as Chu Yan's burial place.
Xiahou Mulan didn't go to the Sect Master's Mansion for a few days, and locked herself in her room every day, not knowing what she was doing.
Although the five maids were in a hurry, they had no choice, they only hoped to leave Jincheng as soon as possible and allow time to heal the scars in Xiahou Mulan's heart, so they were busy packing up their things every day.
Xiahou Che is even more busy, these few days are a critical time, and he doesn't even have time to sleep, so how can he have time to take care of Xiahou Mulan.
Chu Yan, what are you doing now......
Xiahou Mulan sat in front of the window, looking at the deep and dark night sky outside, always thinking of her sweetheart.
Thinking about the dramatic encounter between the two from the beginning, to the broken sword stabbing into his chest......
From being reprimanded by Chu Yan in a competition with the four monsters, to Chu Yan taking the four sisters to play in Jincheng......
Those days were the happiest days for Xiahou Mulan to grow so big, but thinking of Chu Yan's last wordless decision, Xiahou Mulan burst into tears, crystal cold tears dripped on the back of her hand, and her heart was dripping blood.
Chu Yan, you are really ruthless, so ruthless......
Xiahou Mulan bit her lip, no, I will leave Jincheng tomorrow, I must tell you in person tonight, do you like me or not......
Pushing open the door, a cool breeze made her shiver, and suddenly two figures rushed past the flowers not far away.
Well, what kind of person is this...... Xiahou Mulan frowned and quietly followed.
In the backyard, Xiahou Mulan hid in the grass and saw her grandfather standing in the middle of the courtyard, with nearly a hundred masked men in black behind him.
These people are all burly and fierce, and they can tell at a glance that they are not kind.
Xiahou Ying glanced at them and said majestically: "Tonight's task is very important, it is related to the future of the ancient country, and the rise and fall of our Xiahou family, I hope you will complete this mission regardless of life and death." ”
"Yes. Everyone responded in unison, although the voice was not loud, but with an attitude of seeing death as home, it sounded chilling. (To be continued.) )
