"Why don't you give it a try?"
There was a moment of silence at the entrance.
After a while, He Yan suddenly regained his senses and shouted, "Uncle!"
This was this kid's uncle? Sun Ling sized up the youth in front of him. Seeing this young man's handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, he couldn't help but feel jealous. Because of the large birthmark on his face, he knew that he was ugly, so he especially hated good-looking people. He had countless concubines in his residence and often tainted good girls outside. However, it wasn't entirely because he was lustful. Even if he took them in his hands, he would never pamper them. Those beauties often ended up in miserable states in his hands. When Sun Ling saw that someone else had something he didn't have, he wanted to destroy it.
The man in front of him was too outstanding. Not only in Liangzhou, but even in Da Wei, he could be considered one of the best.
"Uncle!" He Yan jumped up and ran behind Xiao Jue. Only his head poked out and pointed at Sun Ling. "This person bullied me!"
She shouted innocently, as if she was a child who was bullied outside and went home to complain to her elders. Fei Nu saw this and was speechless.
Xiao Jue's body also stiffened. He endured the disdain and ignored the person pulling his clothes behind him. He only looked at Sun Ling. "Was it you?"
Sun Ling's heart skipped a beat.
This young man's appearance was too good. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of sharpness. Even if he was asking a question calmly, one couldn't help but feel a chill in one's heart and feel an inexplicable sense of fear.
He composed himself and looked at Xiao Jue. He said coldly, "It was me. Who are you? "
"Xiao Jue."
Xiao Jue? Sun Ling was suspicious. He had never seen Xiao Jue before. Half a year ago, he heard that Xiao Jue had brought new recruits to Liangzhou to guard the Liangzhou City. However, he had never been to Liangzhou City or the Sun family. Of course, Sun Ling had also heard of Xiao Jue's name. He was a famous young killer in Da Wei and was handsome and beautiful. His life was good, but other than that, how could he prove that he was a Xiao Jue? Moreover … how could the Commander-In-Chief of the Right Military Force bring only one guard with him? Even though he was the son of a county magistrate, he still had to be surrounded by attendants when he went out. What was up with this nephew of his? No matter what, these people looked strange.
Sun Ling asked the manservant beside him in a low voice, "Have you heard about General Fengyun coming to the city recently?"
The servant shook his head. "No."
Hearing this, Sun Ling became even more suspicious. However, he had always been cunning and did not want to jump to conclusions so easily. Thus, he looked at Xiao Jue and sneered, "Since you say that you are Xiao Jue, do you have the jade token to prove your identity?"
Xiao Jue: "No."
He didn't even have a jade token? Sun Ling was even more certain that the people in front of him were imposters. Thinking about how he had almost been frightened by the imposter, Sun Ling couldn't help but feel annoyed. He looked at Xiao Jue and shouted, "I don't care who you are, but you dared to kidnap an official's wife. This is a capital offense. Men, take them down! "
"What official's wife?" He Yan poked his head out from behind Xiao Jue and shouted, "That's my servant! If you want to say that she's an official's wife, please show evidence! Where's her contract? You don't even have a contract and you're just randomly arresting people. Is there still any law? "
"Law?" Sun Ling smiled ferociously. "In Liangzhou, my Sun family is the law! Everyone, do it! "
A group of soldiers came forward aggressively.
He Yan was now playing the role of the weak Cheng Li Su, so of course, he wouldn't do anything. She screamed and shouted as if she wanted to see the world in chaos, "Murder! Soldiers are killing people! "
There were other guests in the inn, so when they heard this, there was an uproar. Even the dogs on the streets began to bark.
Xiao Jue said, "Fei Nu."
The guards in black immediately stood in front of Xiao Jue, and He Yan took the opportunity to see clearly. She didn't know if Fei Nu was a member of the Nine Flags Battalion, but looking at his skills, he was comparable to her in her previous life. If this was the standard of the Nine Flags Battalion, then Lady He's current body was probably not qualified.
She couldn't take her eyes off him and pulled Xiao Jue's clothes until Xiao Jue scolded in a low voice, "Let go."
"Oh." He Yan came back to his senses and quickly let go of his hand. Seeing that He Yan's sleeve was wrinkled from his grip, he stroked it twice in an attempt to smooth it out. He said fawningly, "Uncle, Big Brother Fei Nu is really skilled. Amazing! "
She didn't even need to think about it. At this moment, she was probably the same as He Yunsheng.
Xiao Jue didn't pay attention to her.
The officers and soldiers in Liangzhou's yamen were all made from the same mold as Sun Ling. They were served good wine and good food every day, and they had already developed the habit of only eating and not doing anything. They could capture the weak old and weak women and children, but when they met someone who could fight, they were completely helpless.
Fei Nu single-handedly beat them all to the ground.
Seeing this, Sun Ling took a step back and ordered his servant, "Go … go and call everyone here!"
The servant turned to run, but before he could take a step, he was hit by a stone. His legs went weak, and he knelt down.
He Yan secretly threw away the stone in his hand. Of course, he couldn't let anyone report this. Although it wasn't that he couldn't defeat them, it was tiring to fight back and forth. Fei Nu also needed to rest.
Suddenly, there was no one around him that he could use. Sun Ling was half angry and half afraid. He pointed at Xiao Jue and said, "You … you dare to beat up officers and soldiers. Do you still have the law?"
"Didn't you say that you are the law in Liangzhou?" He Yan felt that he was acting like a dog threatening to bully others because of its master's power. He hid behind Xiao Jue and talked back to Sun Ling. "Sir, your position as the law isn't that great. You can't even fight as well as other people's guards."
"You!"
Sun Ling pulled out the whip from his waist and was about to swing it at He Yan's face. He Yan shrank behind Xiao Jue. In the next moment, Fei Nu had already grabbed the whip and kicked it. Sun Ling tripped and fell to the ground. Fei Nu took the opportunity to step on his head and stomp his face into the ground.
He Yan was speechless as he watched. This Slave Fei didn't utter a single word. He was quite heartless.
"Young Master, should we kill him?" Fei Nu asked.
"You … you dare to kill me … my father is from Liangzhou's Ji County." Sun Ling was stepped on until he couldn't speak clearly. He was angry and afraid. But at this moment, he still didn't believe that this person would really kill him. He didn't forget to threaten, "My father will not let you go! You will all die! "
"You are still young. Don't curse others." Seeing that he had been restrained, He Yan walked forward and squatted next to Sun Ling. She tilted her head and looked at him. "Besides, who doesn't die? Do you think you are a monster and will never die? Then I really admire you. "
Her tone was sincere and lecturing. It was even more infuriating and humiliating than Fei Nu who had stepped on his face. Sun Ling was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He Yan didn't sympathize with this person at all. In this world, she hated people who bullied the weak the most. Men who bullied women were even more detestable. If they had any conscience, they wouldn't do it. Only incompetent men would bully women. To be able to do this to a cute little girl, this person was a beast.
She wanted to continue to anger Sun Ling. Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs. It seemed that someone was leading a group of people upstairs. She had just stood up when someone rushed to the door and shouted, "My son!"
He Yan followed the voice and saw a man rushing in front of Sun Ling. Fei Nu raised her foot. He held Sun Ling's head and said anxiously, "My son! Are you hurt anywhere? "
It was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Sun Ling. He also had the same black birthmark on his cheek as Sun Ling. But because he was older than Sun Ling, other than being ugly, he had a wretched and vulgar appearance. Coupled with his gorgeous clothes, he looked out of place.
He Yan didn't think that she was a superficial person who judged people by their appearance. When she saw this person, she couldn't help but look away. Then, she looked at Xiao Jue's face and Xiao Jue's waist. She suddenly felt much more comfortable.
This was what it meant to be beautiful.
"Father," Sun Ling saw that the people supporting him had arrived. He pointed at He Yan and Xiao Jue and shouted, "These two people pretended to be court officials. They kidnapped my concubine and injured my people. Father, arrest them. I want them to die without a burial place!"
"How dare you!" Hearing this, the person was furious. He pointed at He Yan and the others and said, "Men, arrest them!"
"So you're from Sun Ji County." He Yan smiled and said, "Why waste time? Your people can't beat them. You're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. "
Probably not expecting to meet such stubborn people, Magistrate Sun was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he was even more furious and said, "Arrest them! Kill them!"
Kill them? He Yan frowned. No wonder it was said that the father and son of the Sun family could do whatever they wanted in Liangzhou. Even the officials of the capital did not have this power, but they could do it.
"Sun Xiangfu," the person who interrupted him was Xiao Jue. He looked at the other party and said coldly. His voice was like a knife, sharp and piercing, "Open your eyes and see who I am."
When he received the news and rushed over, Sun Xiangfu did not have time to hear what had happened. He only knew that Sun Ling had brought people to arrest them. Who knew that they would be bullied instead. As a father, he supported his son. Moreover, this was Liangzhou. Sun Xiangfu did not think too much. When he arrived and saw how badly Sun Ling had been beaten up, Sun Xiangfu's heart ached. The light was dim, so he didn't take a good look at Xiao Jue's face. When he heard her words, he looked up seriously.
With one look, he was stunned.
A moment later, Sun Xiangfu suddenly lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down. He pressed his head against the ground and said in a trembling voice, "I … I didn't know that the Governor was already here. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
Governor? Sun Ling looked at his father in surprise.
Seeing Sun Xiangfu come to his senses and look at his cowardly appearance, he knew that he would not be able to make any waves. He Yan smiled and said, "Magistrate Sun, what kind of crime do you want me to forgive? When Little Young Master came upstairs, he wanted to kidnap my servant and take my life. He wanted to make my life worse than death in front of my uncle. He was very impressive. Now he wants us to forgive him? How would we dare? "
"Isn't that right, Uncle?" She looked at Xiao Jue and confidently complained.
This time, other than Xiao Jue, his nephew, the young master of the Right Minister's residence, had also sent the invitation. At this moment, this young man was calling Xiao Jue 'Uncle'. It must be Cheng Lisu. Sun Xiangfu did not expect that his unfilial son would offend his uncle and nephew. He felt bitter inside.
He slapped Sun Ling's face, and Sun Ling's head was slapped to the side. This slap was very strong, and everyone could hear the crisp sound.
Sun Xiangfu knelt down and kowtowed as he said, "This is all because I did not teach my son well. My son was blind and did not recognize you and Little Young Master. I hope that you will forgive him. When I go back, I will teach my son well. "
Seeing that Xiao Jue still did not say anything, Sun Xiangfu gritted his teeth and slapped him again. Sun Ling was already injured, and his reaction was not as good as before. The slap just now had already stunned him. Now that he was unexpectedly slapped again, he immediately screamed. However, Sun Xiangfu would not stop. Since he wanted to show Xiao Jue, he could not be soft-hearted. He slapped him and scolded, "You unfilial son, you have forgotten all the etiquette and shame that I have taught you! How can you slander someone for no reason? I know that you admire Military Governor Xiao and think that someone is pretending to be the Military Governor Xiao, so you are so angry … but this is the real Military Governor Xiao. You have done a bad thing with good intentions! "
He Yan: "…" She gasped in amazement as she listened. Look, officials really knew how to talk. In her previous life, even when she was a third-rank general, she did not have such a glib tongue. If she could have such a glib tongue, wouldn't she also be a first-rank official and be conferred a title of nobility?
Sun Xiangfu slapped Sun Ling more than ten times in a row. Sun Ling was beaten until he screamed again and again. When Sun Xiangfu saw this, his heart ached. Although he had many wives and concubines, he only had one son. Now that he was doing this for Xiao Jue, he hoped that Xiao Jue would give him a way out.
However, this cold and emotionless Commander-In-Chief of the Right Corps only looked on coldly and did not say anything. If this continued, Sun Ling might be beaten to death.
Sun Xiangfu had no choice. He let go of his hand and crawled to Xiao Jue. He kept kowtowing to Xiao Jue. "Commander-In-Chief, he will die if you hit him again. I beg you to give my son a way out! Commander-In-Chief, if you want to punish someone, punish me! "
For a moment, Sun Xiangfu kept kowtowing on the ground. Sun Ling was lying on the side, bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He looked quite pitiful. If he had not seen Sun Ling's character before, He Yan would have been touched by the father-son relationship. After all, the one who did the evil was the son. What did the father do wrong?
However, Xiao Jue did not disappoint He Yan. Even when Sun Xiangfu's head was bleeding, Xiao Jue's expression did not change at all.
When Sun Xiangfu felt that he could not hold on any longer, Xiao Jue spoke.
He said, "It is the father's fault for not teaching his son well. Sun Xiangfu." He lowered his head and looked down at Sun Xiangfu. His voice was very calm. "Have you forgotten how Zhao Nuo died?"
As soon as he said this, Sun Xiangfu's sobbing stopped abruptly. He felt a chill from head to toe.
How did Zhao Nuo die? Zhao Nuo was pushed to the front of the monument and beheaded by this person in front of him. Who was Zhao Nuo? Zhao Nuo was the eldest son of the current Minister of Revenue!
How could he forget this? When Zhao Nuo was in trouble, many officials and nobles came forward to plead for mercy because of Lord Zhao. The sixteen-year-old Xiao Jue did not even bat an eyelid and killed him. Even the Emperor could not do anything about it.
This person was going to be serious. He could even kill the son of the Minister of Revenue. Although Sun Xiangfu was a tyrant in Liangzhou, in the end, he was just a small county magistrate.
Sun Xiangfu was so scared that tears almost fell from his eyes. He trembled and said, "Commander-In-Chief, please spare my life! Please forgive me, Commander-In-Chief! "
Sun Ling did not know why his father was so afraid of Xiao Jue, but when he saw his father like this, he could not help but panic.
The guests upstairs and downstairs were all shocked by this turn of events. They were very happy to see the county magistrate and his son, who had always done all kinds of evil in Liangzhou, in such a sorry state.
After a long time, Xiao Jue turned around and said, "Get up."
Sun Xiangfu was so weak that he almost fainted. He looked at Xiao Jue's back and said, "Commander-In-Chief?"
"If there's a next time, I'll take his life," he said.
Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed. He dragged Sun Ling and kowtowed to Xiao Jue, saying, "Commander-In-Chief is magnanimous and does not care about my son. Don't worry, if there's a next time, there's no need for you to do anything. I'll take his life myself!"
Xiao Jue turned around and walked into the room, saying, "Take your men and leave this place immediately."
"Commander-In-Chief … are you not going to stay in your residence?" Sun Xiangfu asked carefully.
"No need. I still have things to do in Liangzhou. When Yuan Baozhen arrives, I'll pay him a visit. "
Sun Xiangfu wanted to say something, but he restrained himself. Today's events were too sudden, and it was not a good place to talk. It was better to take Sun Ling back and find a doctor to check on him. He agreed to Xiao Jue's words and ordered his men to move.
Sun Xiangfu moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, his men had all left. They even cleaned up the things that had been broken. The guests also left. The innkeeper did not expect such a big figure to be living in the inn. There was fear in his eyes. He Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. We're all very friendly. Don't be afraid. Your mung bean noodles are very delicious. I want to eat more tomorrow."
The innkeeper saw that the young man was innocent and felt relieved. After the innkeeper left, He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned around and saw Xiao Jue's back, his heart was in his throat again.
How should he explain this to this Commander-In-Chief?
Xiao Jue did not go into his room. Instead, he went into He Yan's room. Fei Nu also followed. When He Yan walked in, he saw Tao Tao hiding in the corner.
She was probably frightened. When Xiao Jue came in, she hid in the corner with her head lowered. He Yan walked over and patted her back gently. He comforted her and said, "They're gone. It's okay now."
Xiao Jue and Fei Nu could not help but look at him when they heard his gentle words. He Yan saw this and said, "Uncle …"
"You're not going to tell me," he stared at He Yan and said coldly, "that your fiancée came to Liangzhou to find you?"
Fiancée? He Yan thought for a moment before remembering that she seemed to have made up the excuse of being a fiancée in order to prevent the female doctor, Shen Muxue, from discovering her identity as a woman. She didn't expect Xiao Jue to still remember.
"Don't say that, Uncle," He Yan said seriously, "I was in Liangzhou city and saw Sun Ling snatching a woman and forcing her to become a prostitute. I couldn't stand it and helped. Who knew that Sun Ling was so lawless in Liangzhou that he chased me all the way to the inn. I … "She smiled flatteringly," I was also promoting your good reputation of getting rid of evil for the people! "
Xiao Jue sneered, "I don't need that kind of thing."
He Yan did not know how to respond.
She thought for a while and decided to change her words, "I was really scared to death. Fortunately, Uncle, you came in time. If not, I don't know how badly I would have been bullied by Sun Ling. I might not even be able to see you in the future."
"You are my nephew," Xiao Jue heard this and said leisurely, "Who dares to bully you?"
It was a nice thing to say, but why did it sound so wrong? He Yan thought, forget it. She already called him Uncle. In any case, he had already taken advantage of her. He did not care about how much he took. It was just a verbal advantage. He would not lose anything.
"Then, Uncle, let's send this girl back home. If she stays in Liangzhou, that bastard Sun Ling will definitely take revenge. "He Yan tried to ask for his opinion.
"You deal with it yourself."
How heartless, He Yan thought in his heart.
At this time, the servant who had been silent all this time suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jue, saying, "Second Young Master Xiao?"
Although her voice was hesitant, it was not soft. It was especially clear in the quiet night. Xiao Jue looked at her and saw that the servant was a young man with slightly dark skin. His eyes were red and swollen, but his voice was feminine and timid. She could not help but frown.
Seeing her frown, the servant was even more afraid and blurted out, "I am Song Taotao!"
So her surname was not Tao, but Song. He Yan thought, why did the name Song Taotao sound so familiar? Where did he hear it before? Song Taotao took the initiative to call Xiao Jue. Could it be that the two knew each other?
He Yan thought and asked. She said, "You … you know him?"
Song Taotao looked at He Yan with a complicated expression and said, "Second Young Master Xiao … is the person who is going to be engaged to me."
He Yan said, "What!"
"… Uncle." Song Taotao finished her sentence.
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew it. She had never heard of Xiao Jue's engagement. How could someone suddenly appear to be engaged? It turned out to be her uncle … It turned out to be her uncle?
She suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Jue, asking, "That, Commander in Chief, how many nephews do you have?"
Xiao Jue looked at her as if she was looking at an idiot.
He Yan immediately understood.
This was Cheng Lisu's fiancée! Cheng Lisu came to Liangzhou from the Shuo capital to escape the marriage. What a coincidence, his fiancée had the same idea. Who knew that she would be kidnapped to Liangzhou and saved by him? What kind of heaven-sent fate was this? They were probably destined to be together!
No wonder when Sun Ling came and He Yan introduced himself as Cheng Lisu, Song Taotao was so shocked that her boots fell off. It turned out that she was frightened by the news of her fiancée.
"Second Young Master Xiao." Song Taotao looked very conflicted. "I … I don't want to go back to the Shuo capital for now. I heard that you are stationed at the Liangzhou Garrison. Can I go with you to the garrison? I … I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"
"Are you sure you want to go to the Liangzhou Garrison?" Second Young Master Xiao's expression was cold. "Your fiancée is here right now."
Song Taotao's expression stiffened. He Yan felt that she was about to cry.
"Miss Song, don't you like Young Master Cheng?" He Yan said in a small voice. "I think he's quite good." Cheng Lisu was a good person, other than being a little stupid. Sometimes, he was a little naive, but he had a good heart. His appearance could be considered handsome and cute. His family background didn't need to be mentioned. No matter what, he shouldn't be disliked to this extent.
"He doesn't know anything." When the little girl mentioned Cheng Lisu, her eyes were full of disdain. "He's not good at literature or martial arts, and he's not motivated! I don't like him. He's not even as good as you. "
He Yan was flattered. She had only known Song Taotao for half a day, but she had already received such a high evaluation. She was flattered.
Xiao Jue glanced at her and said to Song Taotao, "We'll talk about this later. You should rest today. I'll call a doctor tomorrow."
Song Taotao nodded.
He Yan yawned and felt a little sleepy. Because Song Taotao was a girl, the shopkeeper found another room for Song Taotao, which was right next to He Yan and the others. Fei Nu lived with He Yan. She slept on the small couch on the side and gave the bed to He Yan. He Yan was very grateful and even felt a little guilty.
However, this guilt was quickly washed away by other things.
Saving Song Taotao tonight was really a coincidence. Even she herself didn't expect that the little girl she saved was Cheng Lisu's fiancée. These two people really had the temperament of a child. They ran away from the marriage without saying a word. They even ran to Liangzhou, which was thousands of miles away. Fortunately, He Yan ran into them today. Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do in the future.
Sun Xiangfu seemed to be very afraid of Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue's attitude was so arrogant that it made people's hair stand on end. He Yan felt that even when she was at the peak of her military exploits and had the highest status, she wouldn't speak to her colleagues or subordinates like this. In the end, this was the difference between people.
No wonder Cheng Lisu was raised to be a "good-for-nothing son" who didn't know anything and was always so self-righteous. With such a powerful uncle, he could do whatever he wanted in Da Wei. Why would he need to be good at both civil and martial arts? Tonight, she just casually complained and was able to make the county magistrate and his son, who were so powerful in Liangzhou, kowtow and apologize. This kind of feeling of being protected was quite refreshing. It also felt good.
Now that He Yan thought about it, he felt quite envious of Cheng Lisu.
Song Taotao couldn't be left alone in Liangzhou. She probably couldn't lack people by her side. Who knew if the Sun father and son would wait for an opportunity to take revenge? The best way was to send her back to her parents in Shuo Jing. Of course, it would be best if she could be protected by the Song family. But now that Song Taotao had run to Liangzhou to escape the marriage, she might not obediently return to Shuo Jing. Moreover, it wasn't easy to find someone to send her back.
In order to protect Song Taotao's safety, he could only temporarily keep her in the Liangzhou Guard. He wondered what kind of expression Cheng Lisu would have when he saw Song Taotao. The two of them wouldn't fight, right? Even if they did, it didn't matter. In any case, there was a ready-made practice field.
He Yan didn't even know what he was thinking. Those thoughts gathered together to form a question. That was: Who exactly was Song Taotao?
Why was this name so familiar? There were many times when he almost thought of it, but he couldn't remember it.
Fei Nu was a martial artist. He didn't make a single sound when he slept and was very quiet. He Yan had long been used to the thunderous snoring of the Liangzhou Guard. For a moment, he couldn't fall asleep and turned over. Who knew that she would join the army and become a nephew? It really was inconceivable.
Join the army … join the army!
In the darkness, He Yan suddenly sat up.
She remembered who Song Taotao was.
In reality, back then, He Yan had quarreled with He Yuansheng for the first time and then joined the Fuyue Army under the cover of night because of this Miss Song.
