Chapter 14: The White Lotus
The battle to attack Linxian opened in the early morning, Xuan Ruoyin led the elite team to break into the secret realm of the dark river, killed the rebels by surprise, quickly occupied the initiative, and confiscated the huge number of weapons and property in the dark river cave, which made people staggered, Xuan Ruoyin had already returned to the emperor with a horse, and after counting the existing property, he would take them to Kyoto.
However, the rebel leader Tsuto, who escaped in the chaos of the battle, has not yet been found, and the streets are full of wanted notices.
In the early morning, the main battle had long ended, and the county town had been taken over, and as soon as the people who had been poisoned by the rebels for a long time opened their homes, they saw the Red Flame Army in red cloaks arranging temporary defenses in an orderly manner. There was a figure in the team who was a head shorter than the others.
Yan Chuchen originally wanted to be able to help, but he didn't expect Xuan Ruoyin's Red Flame Army to be so powerful, no wonder he was called the Daxing Red Flame God of War. Before leaving, Yan Chuchen had already inquired about the location of the dark pile, and seeing that the situation was also stable, he immediately went to find some emeralds.
The dark pile is an inn, the door of the inn is closed, it seems that it has not been open for a while, knocked on the door, Xiao Er poked his head out, Yan Chuchen showed him the token given by Yan Dun, and Xiao Er immediately let her in.
Xiao Er led her to the backyard of the inn, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Diancui washing clothes.
As soon as Dian Cui looked up, he saw Yan Chuchen, and ran over excitedly: "Long ...... Girl, it's good that you're safe, I'll see if there's anything hurt, and it's not okay to lose a single hair! Dian Cui was like a nagging old woman, circling around Yan Chuchen.
"What about Shang Yun?" Although that kid picked it up halfway, he said that he would take him to Beijing, and he would be responsible for him.
"You're concerned about that powerless shit!" A man's voice sounded behind him, and although it didn't fluctuate, it just made people feel unhappy.
Yan Chuchen rolled his eyes, turned his head, and sure enough, it was Xuan Ruoyin: "What's wrong with me caring about Ah Yun?" ”
"Nothing. It's really worrying that you're risking your life to sneak into the city. This time, anyone with a discerning eye could hear the vinegar in Xuan Ruoyin's tone, but the two parties didn't notice it.
"Lord Xuanhou .................." A delicate voice with a crying voice came from the house, and then a white figure threw herself into Xuan Ruoyin's arms from the house.
"Xuanhou, the little woman thanks Xuanhou for saving her life, now the little woman is lonely, helpless, willing to follow Xuanhou to serve left and right, and repay your great kindness." The woman buried her head in Xuan Ruoyin's arms, sobbing and crying, crying and crying, raising her head, and facing Xuan Ruoyin's delicate face with pear blossoms and rain.
"You...... Who is it" Xuan Ruoyin said suspiciously as she pushed the woman away.
"The little woman is the daughter of Wang Chen, the county commander of Linxian County, Wang Yuling, my father died in the line of duty, the whole family was killed, you saved the little girl at the banquet that day, do you remember?" Wang Yuling didn't care that Xuan Ruoyin didn't recognize her, but replied softly, worthy of everyone's beauty.
"It turned out to be the daughter of Wang County, Lord Wang died for the country, Xuan Mou will be posthumously awarded to the emperor, do you have any other relatives?" Xuan Ruoyin bowed his hand to Wang Yuling, and the daughters of the ministers will be compensated.
"My maternal grandfather's family is in the capital, and it is the Yuan family in Kyoto."
"Your grandfather is Yuan Qin Yuan Yushi, okay, you can follow me into Beijing, and there will be a good one on the way," Xuan Ruoyin didn't think much about it, the orphans of the martyrs should be protected.
"Xuanhou is really pitiful and cherishes the jade!" Yan Chuchen gritted his teeth and said these words, thinking in his heart, he was really a disciple, and when he saw that the good little lady couldn't walk, he still wanted to give it away.
"Miss Wang, you can be careful of him, don't look at him as good-looking, in fact, he is a disciple, be careful of being slighted by him." Passing by Wang Yuling's side, he kindly reminded her
"How can you say that, this girl, Xuanhou Lei is bright, you must have misunderstood, I can trust Xuanhou." Wang Yuling looked at Yan Chuchen's eyes with a sincere face and said.
Yan Chuchen couldn't speak for a while, he threw his sleeves away angrily, and Diancui hurriedly gave Xuan Ruoyin a salute and ran out.
Yan Chuchen muttered as he walked: "Xuanhou is bright and fair, the daughter of Miss Wang's loyal martyrs, vomit...... Who? The two of them smelled like each other and blew and patted each other. ”
Turning the back wall of the inn, it is a deserted yard, the courtyard door is hidden, Yan Chuchen wandered around, walked in, the garden lacked care all the year round, all kinds of plants grew taller than people, Yan Chuchen didn't take a few steps, he heard someone talking, he thought it was the master, and he was exiting.
"Lord, this incident failed, and the lower officials were lucky to save their lives, this Xuan Ruoyin is really powerful." Isn't this the sound of the Tsuto? Yan Chuchen immediately stopped and listened.
"Not only did you lose Linxian this time, but you actually let Xuan Ruoyin find one of our four warehouses, which is a heavy blow to the great cause of recovering the country, what crime should you be guilty of." The other voice sounded young, but majestic.
"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, please surrender to the Lord!" When he heard this, he immediately fell to his knees.
"Although you deserve to die for your crimes, but the great cause of restoring the country is about to be employed, this time you are allowed to make meritorious contributions...... Who? The man in black sensed Yan Chuchen as he spoke, and turned his head to her hiding place.
As soon as it was too late, Hutuo jumped to the wall where Yan Chuchen was hiding, stretching out his black claws and about to grab her.
At this time, a group of patrolling soldiers happened to come to the door, and Tuo got up and jumped to the eaves for fear of revealing his whereabouts. 、
Yan Chuchen was about to get up to catch up, when a person behind her grabbed her sleeve.
Looking back, it turned out to be Shang Yun: "Sister Chen, it's really you, I went out to buy snacks for Sister Diancui, she said that you will definitely come back after breaking the city today." It turns out that what she said was true! ”
Yan Chuchen asked, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
"Just now I came back and passed by the gate of this courtyard, I heard your voice, so I came in to try my luck, I didn't expect it to be Sister Chen, I thought I was missing too much, and I had a hallucination!" Shang Yun happily took her hand, "Let's go back quickly, Sister Diancui is worried about death." ”
"I've already seen her, let's clean up, and when this place is stable, let's go to the capital!" Yan Chuchen touched his head and said.
"Uh-huh!!" Shang Yun nodded vigorously a few times, and happily followed Yan Chuchen back to the inn.
Looking at the two of them holding hands and doing their best, Xuan Ruoyin, who had not yet left, turned pale: "The girl is so interested!" ”
"Of course, I've found Ah Yun, and we're going to leave for Beijing soon." Yan Chuchen looked at Xuan Ruoyin provocatively.
The army was rectified for several days, Linxian County basically restored its original order, and the new county commander also arrived a few days ago, and Xuan Ruoyin began to prepare to return to Beijing. Since the last time she came back, Daoist Qingxia has disappeared without a trace, and has been replaced by a young lady with a beautiful face. The general also transferred her to wait close and forbade her to go out of the camp casually, which seemed to be a genuine liking.
Although everyone is curious about what the identity of the woman is, as long as it is the person they like the general, the Red Flame Army will support it.
Only the person concerned was half dead in the whole weather, and since the last time she came back, her camp bed had been carried into the general's tent, although she explicitly hinted that there was a difference between men and women, and that dead Xuanshi just didn't let go, and it was called taking care of the nearest place, and she seemed to be surveillance.
On that day, the army returned to Beijing from camp, and the newly transferred county commander brought the officials and soldiers of Linxian County to see each other off in front of the city gate, and the people kept stuffing things into the horse bags of the Red Flame Army, and their gratitude was overflowing. It took two hours to walk just 10 miles out of the city.
Today is the 6th day of returning to Beijing, passing by a shade of trees, Xuan Ruoyin ordered to bury the pot and rest. Different from the journey, when I returned from victory, I naturally took a little leisure, and I stopped and stopped along the way, and it took 30% more time than when I came.
Xuan Ruoyin and Yan Dun were in the shade of a tree, eating the cakes and beef handed over by the man. Wang Yuling held a few fruits in both hands and leaned over cautiously.
"Xuanhou, this is the pear picked when passing by a fruit forest just now, it is very sweet, the cake is rough, the general will eat a few if he doesn't dislike it." A pair of bright eyes flickered at Xuan Ruoyin, holding the fruit in his hand.
"I'm not thirsty!" Xuan Ruoyin shook off a sentence stubbornly, and then ate his own cake.
Yan Dun couldn't look at it: "You person, Miss Wang is kind, what's wrong with you eating one?" Glancing at Xuan Ruoyin, he hurriedly took a few pears.
"Don't care, girl, this person is like this, like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard! We appreciate your kindness, thank you! ”
"It doesn't matter, Xuanhou has a good temperament, and the little woman admires it very much." Wang Yuling was not angry, and after a blessing, he retreated. Along the way, Xuan Ruoyin rejected her countless times, but she still believed that with her beauty, she would one day be able to touch Xuanhou's heart.
At this time, Yan Chuchen took Shangyun Diancui, hunted a few pheasants from the back mountain, and walked back happily. Seeing the pear in Yan Dun's hand, he said happily: "Senior brother, this pear is good, honor my senior sister." ”
"This is not mine, it was specially given to this stinky stone by Miss Wang." Yan Dun went to Xuan Ruoyin's side and pouted.
"Then I don't dare to eat it, this is a piece of heart from Miss Wang to Xuanhou, how can others taste it?" Yan Chuchen pouted and said.
"This guy still doesn't appreciate it, don't live or die!" Yan Dun said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Yan Chuchen couldn't help but smile: "Yo, why don't you want Yanfu to be sent to the door!" ”
Listening to the discussion between the two as if he didn't exist, Xuan Ruoyin didn't bother to explain, it was not that he couldn't see Wang Yuling's intentions, but he had no feelings for her, rather than giving her false hope, it was better to be alienated from the beginning.
"Pass the order, let's go!" Standing up, he said a hard word, and walked past the two of them.
"Why are you still angry, the little family is angry." Yan Dun muttered and followed to prepare to set off.
