Chapter 132 Mission

He has been running around for two days and two nights without rest. Qin Mubai lay down and didn't wake up until the middle of the night. Those pawns didn't dare to call him. In fact, they were exhausted and mostly hid in their own room to rest.

In fact, Chen Yan is more tired than anyone else. She hasn't closed her eyes for more than a month, and she has lost a lot of weight. After removing the big burden in my heart, I finally had a good sleep. When I woke up, I felt sore all over, but I had a feeling of being reborn.

"It's finally over..." She whispered silently, picked up the water in the wooden basin and washed her face. Seeing myself in the reflection, I couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Women grow old so fast..."

"Due Du Du", the door was knocked.

"Who?"

"Qin Mubai."

Chen Yan was slightly stunned, wiped her face with a towel, and looked at herself carefully at the bronze mirror. Suddenly, she felt a little flustered.

"Why am I so bad now? How can I meet people?" Her face turned slightly red, and she suddenly felt her heart beating faster.

After she came to Jishan from her hometown two or three months ago, she never dressed up carefully and even forgot that she was a woman. Now, she found that she was really haggard. Except for her dark eyes, even her eyes were a little lax because of fatigue.

"It's time to have a good rest... Otherwise, she will soon become a yellow-faced woman." Chen Yan frowned and walked over to open the door. She saw Qin Mubai carrying a wooden plate in his hand, with a whole steamed chicken and two pots of side dishes, as well as wine and utensils.

"Would you like to invite me in?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly and raised his arm to signal.

"Does the general come to the hall to deliver food? How dare you be?" Chen Yan opened the door with a rare smile and welcomed Qin Mubai into the room.

"Look at you sleeping all the time without disturbing. It's midnight now, and the inn is about to be closed. If you don't get up, you will be hungry." Qin Mubai put the wooden plate on the table and said to her, "Come on, let's eat together." I didn't eat it either. Thanks to my brothers' intentions, I bought these things first and put them in the hot pot in the kitchen. It's still hot.

"Your subordinates are really loyal to you." Chen Yan glanced at the food all over the table, and there was a cooing sound in her stomach. She couldn't help giggling, "I'm really hungry. Thank you!"

"Actually, you look pretty when you smile. Why do you have to keep a face all day long, as if everyone owes you 10 million yuan?" Qin Mubai smiled and poured wine on the two glasses and said, "Come on, let's have a drink!" We have completed our own mission. Cheers!"

Chen Yan silently picked up the glass, drank the wine in the glass, and said quietly.

"Why don't you talk?" Qin Mubai continued to pour wine with the wine pot and asked casually.

"I don't know what to say." Chen Yan sighed and said, "I'm sorry for too many people."

"Who are you sorry for?" Qin Mubai asked.

"I wish Chengwen, my lord, and you." Chen Yan said.

"Where are you sorry for the three of us?"

"It's too much." Chen Yan sighed and said leisurely, "Zhu Chengwen, in fact, the two of us used to be together. When I was young and playful, I only wanted to learn martial arts from my master and travel around the world, so I didn't have the heart to be a washerwoman for a lifetime. Zhu Chengwen knows what I'm thinking and never mentions it. I didn't regret it until he got married. Later, his wife died of illness, and I wanted to look back, but it was irreparable, which led to the eternal separation of yin and yang today. When I was young and ignorant, I broke off a beautiful marriage and failed his deep love for me.

"King Jiangxia... In fact, I also feel sorry for him. At first, I was confused and thought that he had killed Zhu Chengwen. So I went to find him. He is really an upright hero! After hearing about Zhu Chengwen, he was so sad and indignant that he asked me to stab him with a sword to relieve my hatred and the pain in his heart... I was too impulsive at that time, and I really stabbed him!"

At this point, Chen Yan took a deep breath: "You didn't realize today that it was inconvenient for him to move his left shoulder when he was dancing the sword? That's the wound left by my sword. After I stabbed him, he did not complain about me at all. Instead, he continued to relieve me and comfort me. At that time, I cried in front of strangers for the first time in my life. This man is really broad-minded and open-minded, and his temperament and demeanor are so convincing. I immediately worshipped him as a righteous husband and vowed to treat him like my own father from now on. He also accepted me very happily and treated me as his own daughter. You said that the meeting gift I gave to my godfather was a sword that pierced his shoulder bone. Am I worthy of him?

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled and said, "King Jiangxia is a great hero, and you are a heroine. When you become a father and daughter, you can also cherish and be righteous.

"As for you... I won't talk about it." Chen Yan twisted her head slightly and whispered, "I lied to you too many times that even I felt a little shameless to face you. In fact, I don't think so in my heart. I have said to myself more than a hundred times that I want to believe you and tell you all the truth... But I didn't do it in the end. Am I very despicable and shameless?

"No. If you really tell me everything in advance, you will look frivolous and ignorant. Officialdom is like a battlefield, and there are traps everywhere. People know their faces and don't know their hearts. Even I sometimes don't believe in myself. Qin Mubai picked the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly, "Your carefulness is right. Knowing that I was deceived by you, I was really angry. But after that, I calm down and think about it. If I were you, I might have cheated more fiercely than you. So it's not your fault. In a sentence that you can understand best, it's called 'People can't help themselves in the world'.

"Yes, I'm in the world, and I can't help it..." Chen Yan's eyebrows are soft, and her eyes have become a little blurred. She seems to have fallen into infinite memories of the past. She said leisurely, "I studied martial arts with my master at the age of six, and my parents died at the age of ten. From then on, I have lived with him and often traveled around the world. There are more places to go, more people who see, and more people who come into contact with darkness and ugliness. It is difficult for me to completely believe in a person. It can be said that except for my master, Zhu Chengwen is the only one. In front of him, I always kept the same face of my childhood. No matter how I change, even if I have killed someone, I will always be the little girl next door in front of him. Unfortunately, my master passed away two years ago, and now he is dead... I really don't know what else I can do in the future and where to go. Which place belongs to me?"

"The king of Jiangxia accepted you as a righteous daughter. Don't you live with him?" Qin Mubai asked.

"No." Chen Yan shook her head, "After all, he is the prince of the nobles, and he has a daughter. After all, I'm just a ranger who walks around the world. It's easy to meet each other. If we really live together for a long time, we may not be used to each other. I think I may be destined to wander around the world all my life. There is no home and no home.

Qin Mubai toasted her a glass of wine, and the two drank it together.

"Go to Chang'an." Qin Mubai suddenly said.

"What?" Chen Yan was a little surprised, "For no reason, why did I go to Chang'an?"

"In Chang'an, there is a place that is especially suitable for you." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "There, you will find your relatives and boundless happiness."

"A relative? Happy?" Chen Yan wondered, "You're not talking about your home, are you? You take advantage of me?!"

"Chivalrous woman, don't misunderstand, let alone draw a knife, I'm afraid!" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Believe me, if you stay there for two or three days, you will be reluctant to leave. Even if others drive you away, you may not be willing to.

"... You're not talking about those erotic places, are you?"

"You are not a man. Why should I introduce such a place to you?" Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously, "Don't ask now. You will naturally know then. Anyway, you have no fixed place and no destination now. Why don't you follow me, Chang'an and his party? Are you still afraid that I will sell you?

Chen Yan laughed and said, "It's hard to say who sells whom!"

"So it's settled?"

"Go and go, there's no need to talk!"

The next morning, Qin Mubai and several people left the inn and rushed to Jishan County.

Qin Mu's white horse was fast and deliberately slowed down and waited for Chen Yan. The two of them walked together, and the horse did not run very fast.

"The prince must have arrived in Chang'an at this moment!" Qin Mubai asked.

"Almost." Chen Yan said, "When I left yesterday afternoon, the prince was used to galloping on the battlefield and rode a horse. His horse is very fast.

"That's good." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "You are very good at lying, and the prince is even better at acting. If I didn't think about a few corners at that time, I would have been almost scared by him, and I would be angry with him and scold him for not knowing anything.

"The prince said that you are a smart person, and you must understand what he meant! You men who are officials don't say anything to your face. You have to hide it. Are you tired or not tired? Chen Yan said repeatedly as she rod the horse.

"There's nothing we can do! Those who explain everything thoroughly probably became ghosts first before they became princes. Qin Mubai laughed and said, "There are rules in the world, and there are rules in officialdom. It's all like this!"

"In my opinion, it's all the same!" Chen Yan said, "You can either step on others and move forward, or you will never get up if you are trampled under others!"

"Correct solution!"

On the way back, everyone was much more relaxed, and they were not in such a hurry. On the way, he rested for an hour in a town, and then returned to the military camp of Jishan County in the evening.

Qin Mubai and Chen Yan went to see Li Ke together.

"How's it going?" Li Ke asked. Obviously, he had been waiting for a day and was a little anxious.

"Your Highness, everything is done!" Qin Mubai grinned, "This time, we can finally relax a little and catch the net!"

"Great!" Li Ke stroked his palm and breathed a sigh of relief. "Now we only need to wait for your majesty's imperial decree to catch nets and fish as we like and eliminate this group of corrupt officials in Jiangzhou!"
