Chapter 343
The aura didn't seem dangerous, it was familiar yet strange.
But none of this matters. What matters is that this aura is approaching this side and may arrive at any time!
Wu Jin's expression suddenly became serious. He trotted to the wall as if facing a great enemy, stared at the wall with a fierce look in his eyes, and barked twice.
"Wu Jin is fine, there are guests coming." Lu Qi Yan opened his mouth to stop him.
guest?
Wu Jin was puzzled, but since Lu Qiyan opened his mouth, he stopped shouting, ran back obediently, and squatted beside Lu Qiyan.
But he did not forget to bark twice at Lu Qiyan.
Is it really a guest?
"You are really a guest." Lu Qiyan reached out and touched Wu Jin's head, and then whispered, "Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow rose from outside the wall, touched the top of the wall with his foot, then leaped over the high wall and landed on the ground nimbly.
The other person was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face. He bowed to Lu Qiyan.
Lu Qiyan returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Since Madam Cen can come at this time, it must be the Third Young Master's intention?"
"Exactly."
Cen Ying responded, and seeing that her identity had been exposed, she simply took off her face veil, "Sir, please ask Commander Lu to come forward and talk."
"Okay." Lu Qiyan nodded slightly, picked up the teacup on the table, and followed Cen Ying, "Please."
Cen Ying glanced at him, stomped her foot on the ground, and still jumped over the wall lightly.
Lu Qiyan held two cups of tea in his hands, stepped on the wall, and then climbed over the wall of his house.
After Wu Jin saw the two people climbing over the wall, his mouth opened wide and did not close for a long time.
This skill is quite handsome.
But after a moment, his eyes were full of disdain.
Tsk, a conspicuous bag is a conspicuous bag. There is a door but you insist on climbing over the wall. What's wrong with that!
After the conspicuous Lu Qiyan jumped over two walls in succession, he landed steadily in the courtyard opposite.
Xu Chong had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Lu Qiyan coming, he opened the door and said, "Commander Lu, please come in."
"Thank you." Lu Qiyan walked into the house.
Xiao Luoan was flipping through a book at the table in the main hall. When he saw Lu Qiyan, he put the book down.
When he saw Lu Qiyan holding two cups of tea, he laughed, "Commander Lu even brought tea. Are you afraid that I won't even have tea here?"
"The tea my wife brewed tastes refreshing and delicious to me, so I brought it over for the Third Young Master to taste."
Lu Qiyan placed the teacup on the table, and then bowed respectfully to Xiao Luoan, "Wen has met the third young master."
"You're too polite, Second Young Master." Xiao Luoan raised his hand and picked up one of the cups of tea. "Since this is the tea made by Madam Xia, I really need to taste it."
After that, he drank the tea in the cup and smacked his lips. "It's really good. No wonder Commander Lu was so eager to bring the tea over for me to taste."
"But I really didn't expect that Wen Yu, the second son of the Wen family, would now condescend to be a mere battalion commander at the border under the An family, and even settle down in Jinqiu County."
Xiao Luoan glanced at Lu Qiyan with a scrutinizing look.
"Isn't the Third Young Master now in Jinqiu County and my neighbor?" Lu Qiyan smiled, "If you think about it carefully, the Third Young Master and I are probably the same kind of people."
A traveler?
Xiao Luoan frowned slightly.
There is some truth in this.
Those who don’t know would think that the second young master of the Wen family must have been surrounded by stars since he was a child, dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and able to call the wind and rain at his will. How glorious it must be.
But those who know all know that Wen Yu is just an adopted son of the Wen family. He is cautious in the Wen family and only survives because of the Wen family's struggle for power.
And he, on the surface, also seemed to be in a high position, but in fact, for the sake of his own and his sister's lives, he had to obey the manipulation of the enemy who killed his mother and do some abhorrent things. In this respect, they can indeed be called the same people.
The same helpless situation.
Surviving in the same cracks.
Just like becoming someone else's pawn.
Xiao Luoan narrowed his eyes, "It seems that Commander Lu wants to have a good chat with me."
"The Third Young Master is indeed a smart man." Lu Qiyan smiled and sat down in front of Xiao Luoan.
-
After Xia Mingyue extinguished the candle, she was able to lie awake on the bed and wait at first, but under the invasion of sleepiness, her eyelids soon began to droop and she soon fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but Xia Mingyue heard rustling footsteps in a daze, and then she felt a familiar breath approaching.
Without even opening her eyes, Xia Mingyue moved closer to Lu Qiyan and put her arms around his waist.
"Why are you back so late?"
"It's a little late to talk about this." Lu Qiyan kissed Xia Mingyue's forehead with a gentle voice.
But the result was much better than expected.
What he said was correct.
He and Xiao Luoan are of the same kind, with similar goals and interests, so it is only natural that they should reach a consensus.
With an ally in the army, what he has to do will probably be easier.
At that time...
Lu Qiyan looked at Xia Mingyue, who was sleeping soundly and peacefully beside him, and couldn't help but smile.
After kissing Xia Mingyue on the forehead again and again, Lu Qiyan hugged Xia Mingyue tightly.
He thought there was only one thing he needed to do in his life.
Now, it seems to have become two things.
Here, Cen Ying trimmed the candle wax and lit another lamp. Seeing that Xiao Luoan looked tired, she advised, "It's very late at night, would you like to rest early, young master?"
"Although it's late at night, I'm full of energy." Xiao Luoan put down the book in his hand that he hadn't turned a page for a long time and laughed, "This Wen Yu, oh no, he should probably prefer to be called Lu Qiyan."
"This Lu Qiyan's ambition really exceeds my imagination."
"Does the young master believe him?" Cen Ying frowned.
"Believe it, why not?" Xiao Luoan said with a smile, "Ambitious people have desires, and people with desires will do their best and wholeheartedly. Such people are the most suitable partners. What's more, this partner has a weakness."
Weakness?
Cen Ying was startled. "Young Master, do you mean... Madam Xia?"
"That's right." Xiao Luoan nodded.
"But this Lu Qiyan is hiding his identity here, and he may be acting out the matter concerning Madam Xia."
When Cen Ying said this, she gritted her teeth, and her tone was full of regret.
Madam Xia is a very special person to her.
She may not look stunning at first glance, but she is kind, gentle, has excellent cooking skills, is smart and sensible...
It is like a small flower blooming on a wasteland, standing against the wind, opening freely, and gradually emitting a faint fragrance that cannot be ignored.
If this kind of Madam Xia is really just a pawn used by Lu Qiyan to play a trick...
Cen Ying clenched the sword in his hand.
