Chapter 103: The Return of the Old Man
Chen Yanmu sent Zhang Liang away, packed up his weapons, and walked towards the barracks with shuffling steps.
At this time, it was already late at night, to be exact, it was almost dawn, and in addition to the silence, it was the biting cold before dawn.
The wounds on Chen Yan's body no longer bleed, but he had already lost too much blood. After the person loses blood, there will naturally be a chill on his body, coupled with the cool breeze in the second half of the night, Chen Yan unconsciously sneezed.
Finally, Chen Yan slowly walked to the gate of the barracks, only to see that on both sides of the barracks gate, the sentries on duty had already dozed off.
"These slackers." Chen Yan scolded in a low voice, but he didn't wake up these people, after all, he had just escaped death, Chen Yan suddenly realized the beauty of living, looking at these brothers who lived and died together, Chen Yan's heart also overflowed with warmth.
Suddenly, the distant sound of horses' hooves disturbed the peculiar silence and woke the sleeping sentinel.
"Who! Who's coming! The sentinels were so frightened that they drew their bows and arrows and looked into the distance.
Chen Yan also followed the sound of the horse's hooves to look into the distance, only to see a war horse galloping from the direction of Chang'an City!
Carrying a thin figure on the war horse, judging from the silhouette of a small man, Chen Yan secretly wondered in his heart, "Who is this person?" ”
Suddenly, a name rose from his mind, "Could it be her!" Chen Yan suddenly became excited, such a delicate figure could not have been separated from him in a hurry......
Dong Bai?!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan didn't say a word, and ran into the distance. But at this moment, the sentinels shot their flying feathers one after another.
"Stop!" Chen Yan shouted loudly, for fear that these flying arrows would hurt Dong Bai.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the arrows were already shooting towards the man on the horse. Chen Yan was still worried, but he saw that the figure on the horse was so fast that he actually pocketed three or four feather arrows in front of him with his bare hands, and his movements were chic and amazing!
Chen Yan was still wondering why Dong Bai's skills had become so good, but he heard the person immediately scream and scolded: "Who dares to shoot the old lady again!" The old lady flayed him alive! ”
As soon as this voice came out, Chen Yan suddenly realized that the person who came was Dong Bai, and it was clearly his little maid Xing'er.
Hearing this, Chen Yan didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy. I am disappointed that the person who came is not Dong Bai who I miss after all, and the happy thing is that the person who came is my old friend after all.
The sentry heard Xing'er's threat, and heard Chen Yan tell them to stop, so naturally he wouldn't shoot again, and Xing'er had already rushed to the gate of the barracks.
Chen Yan looked at Xing'er, only to see that she was dressed in armor with some blood, it can be seen that she also rushed out of Chang'an City, this girl's skills are amazingly good, it must be not easy to break through Chang'an, but this girl does not have a single wound on her body, which shows how strong her martial arts are.
Xing'er saw Chen Yan staring at herself, and said angrily: "What? My lord, I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know each other? ”
Chen Yan hurriedly helped Xing'er off the horse. Xing'er is the maid in Lu Bu's mansion, although she has been given to herself by Lu Bu, but after all, she has been following Lu Bu for much longer than with herself, the two armies are at war, life and death, Chen Yan does not dare to trust Xing'er easily.
Xing'er also seemed to see through Chen Yan's thoughts, sighed, and said, "People risked death to come out to find you, but you have a cold expression, it's really sad." ”
Chen Yan realized that he was rude, and hurriedly apologized: "Xing'er, Xing'er, don't be angry, why did you run out?" Aren't you afraid that Lu Bu will chase you down? ”
Xing'er rolled her eyes and said, "I've already run to you, how can Lu Bu still chase and kill me, if he chases and kills, he will definitely kill you too!" ”
Chen Yan nodded and asked, "Chang'an City is heavily guarded, did you run out alone?" ”
Xing'er shook her head and said: "How can I have such a great ability, it was my young lady who deceived me into opening the city gate, so I was able to escape, and then I met the pursuers and killed a few of them." ”
Chen Yan didn't expect Xing'er to be so domineering, sighed and praised: "Xing'er girl is really handsome." But after thinking about it, "Her young lady, isn't that Lu Lingqi?" Hurriedly asked, "Why did Lu Lingqi send you out of the city?" ”
After hearing this, Xing'er looked at Chen Yan and said, "It's not that I remember you!" ”
Chen Yan was shocked and thought, "How come? Why does Lu Lingqi remember me? Could it be that this cold beauty is really interesting to me? But why? ”
Chen Yan couldn't help but think that when he fled Chang'an, it was Lu Lingqi who risked death to open the city gate, so that Chen Yan and the others could successfully escape, but why did Lu Lingqi do this?
"Does she really have a crush on me, right?" Chen Yan really didn't dare to think about it.
Because Chen Yan has always had a grudge against Lu Lingqi, Lu Lingqi's arrogant attitude and her domineering posture made Chen Yan feel respectful and distant from her from the beginning. Later, although Lu Lingqi's attitude towards Chen Yan eased somewhat, after all, the first impression had been deeply rooted in Chen Yan's heart, and no matter how much Lu Lingqi changed, it would be useless.
What's more, Lu Lingqi is Lu Bu's daughter.
Chen Yan's relationship with Lu Bu at this time was already on the same footing, and one day, he was afraid that he would fight to the death with Lu Bu.
This couldn't help but remind him of Dong Bai, his relationship with Dong Bai ended because of the assassination of Dong Zhuo, after all, Chen Yan assassinated Dong Bai's grandfather. And now Lu Lingqi is Lu Bu's daughter. No matter how stupid Chen Yan is, he will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help frowning and said, "Xing'er, what else did your young lady say?" ”
Xing'er's watery eyes blinked, and she said, "Miss said, let me protect you well, just don't let you die." ”
Chen Yan thought to himself: "I didn't expect Lu Lingqi to really care about me so much!" Immediately hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you Miss Xing'er!" ”
Xing'er smiled: "What's polite, I was your maid in the first place, isn't this how it should be?" ”
Chen Yan said: "Then if you come out this time, you won't go back, right?" ”
Xing'er nodded and said, "Naturally, I can't go back, if General Lu Bu knows that I escaped to you, won't you kill my heart?" ”
In the midst of the war, Chen Yan was able to reunite with his old man, of course he was overjoyed, and immediately pulled Xing'er and said: "Let's go, you're tired this time, let's go and rest!" ”
Xing'er hurriedly asked, "Is there an extra bed in the military tent?" I can't sleep with you! ”
Chen Yan laughed for a while and said, "Don't worry, there are naturally free tents, and they won't take advantage of you!" ”
Then the two of them went together.
Outside the military tent not far away, Jia Xu looked at everything in front of him, smiled slightly, and turned around and returned to his tent.
