Jiuxi

Chapter 322 Chapter 320 [Hu Gang]

Lu Chen and Lin Xi walked out of the small courtyard where Qingyu Huaijin lived and saw more than ten familiar figures outside the courtyard gate.

Tao Baochun and Xi Jun stepped forward to salute on behalf of the brothers of the Seven Star Gang: "I have met my uncle. Congratulations to my uncle for regaining Heluo and becoming famous all over the world!"

The words were kind, and the joy on their faces was not fake, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding. They slightly emphasized the word "uncle", as if they wanted to remind Lu Chen of something.

Lu Chen seemed unaware and smiled and said: "Thanks to the brothers for blocking Qing Yu Zhongwang for a while, otherwise it would not be so easy for me to stabilize the situation here. It must be very hard for you to travel a long distance. Go and rest first to replenish your energy. We will meet again later. how?"

Seeing that he was as usual, everyone couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of their little thoughts, and quickly responded: "Yes, uncle."

Lu Chen then said to Li Chengen: "Take the brothers to settle down."

A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on Li Chengen's face.

Earlier, Lin Xi and his party went straight into the city. He wanted to inform Lu Chen but was stopped by Lin Xi. Then he could only watch helplessly as Lin Xi entered the small courtyard. Fortunately, there was no fierce conflict inside, otherwise he, a confidant, would be guilty of dereliction of duty.

However, Lu Chen indicated with his eyes that it was okay. Li Chengen was grateful and left with Tao Baochun and others after agreeing.

After a while, Lu Chen and Lin Xi walked into the nearby courtyard and came to his study where he handled various affairs.

Lin Xi followed him quietly.

In fact, she has never been the kind of stingy and jealous character. Whether she faced Li Bingxue's temptation or learned about Wang Chulong's appearance in the mountains, even though her heart was slightly disturbed, she would not be filled with worries because of it, let alone Will feel angry at Lu Chen.

Probably because in this era, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and her father also had several concubines.

What's more, Lu Chen is an only son and has a heavy task of spreading the branches. Lin Jie also expressed his views on this to Lin Xi in a vague way through his concubine, asking her not to be too resistant to the presence of other women around Lu Chen.

All in all, jealousy is very serious for women in this era, and Lin Xi doesn't really care about this issue.

However, when she traveled across mountains and rivers to Heluo, fully expecting to meet Lu Chen, she learned from Li Chengen that Lu Chen was in the yard where Qingyu Huaijin was imprisoned, and she felt angry in her heart.

Especially when she walked into the small courtyard next to her and saw with her own eyes that Qingyu Huaijin did not look like a prisoner at all. Instead, he was talking and laughing with Lu Chen. Moreover, with her keen intuition, she could sense that Princess Jingchao and her junior brother were definitely not completely Opposite relationship.

As a result, the feeling in her heart was complicated and difficult to describe.

"Sister, please sit down first."

Lu Chen didn't seem to know what Lin Xi was thinking, and he still smiled at her as usual.

Lin Xi originally thought that as long as he explained well, she wouldn't be angry. However, he acted as if nothing was wrong. He couldn't help but wrinkle the tip of his nose and sat by the window without saying a word.

Lu Chen walked outside to get a teapot and a cup, filled it until it was seven-tenths full, held the cup in both hands and handed it to Lin Xi, saying warmly: "Senior sister, let's have a cup of tea first and feel better. I don't have any maids here to wait on me, only two soldiers. We can't let them hang out in front of Senior Sister for some chores, so I will wait on Senior Sister for the time being."

Lin Xi took the cup and subconsciously raised her head, looking at Lu Shen with her round eyes.

She had just noticed that the courtyard where Lu Chen lived was full of personal guards, and there was not a single woman there.

"Why bother? There has to be someone around you to take care of you."

Even though she made up her mind to ignore him, Lin Xi still spoke with some distress.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "The aristocratic families in the city are all-pervasive. In the past few days, more than a dozen groups of people have come to my door, saying that they would send maids to serve me, but I have turned them all back. If this hole is opened, I will be annoyed by them. Again. As the reporter said, tens of thousands of troops in the city are watching. What will others think if I indulge in pleasure? It is not easy to build the spirit of the army, but it is very easy to destroy it. "

Lin Xi looked at his face. Compared with when they parted more than half a year ago, Lu Chen was obviously much leaner and his cheeks were slightly sunken, but his eyes were still shining and had a bit more calm demeanor.

Feeling distressed quietly emerged, Lin Xi adjusted her sitting posture slightly awkwardly, and said softly: "I know the burden on your shoulders is heavy, but there is no need to suffer like this. Even if you don't want to live up to the truth, you should take good care of yourself. I haven’t seen you for more than half a year. You’ve lost so much weight that I can’t help but stare at you..."

She didn't say anything else. Lu Chen smiled slightly, moved a chair to sit next to him, took the initiative to hold her hand and asked: "Senior sister, do you miss me?"

Lin Xi turned his head and said softly: "No."

Lu Chen stared at her profile and said sincerely, "But I miss my senior sister very much."

Lin Xi wanted to withdraw his hands, but after hearing these words, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had lost all strength in an instant.

She resisted the urge to look at him, lowered her head slightly and said, "Really?"

Lu Chen gently kneaded the palm of her hand and said, "The war is going on. I am so busy almost every day, but I still can't control my mind. I always think of you. Take down Yongquan Pass. At that time, I stood on the wall and looked at the north, thinking that I had finally taken the first step to regain Dongyang Road and was a little closer to you. In the Battle of Leize, all the Jingjun infantry were wiped out. I thought about you and me. The biggest obstacle in my life has disappeared, and no one can stop me from taking the road to Dongyang and marrying you home in all glory."

Lin Xi listened blankly, her thoughts turning into tenderness.

"But……"

She hesitated.

Lu Chen said firmly: "There is nothing wrong. I admit that this time I tried my best to promote the Northern Expedition and risked my life on the battlefield. Not all of my efforts were for you, but a large part of it was because I wanted to solve the problem of Baotai Mountain and Huaizhou. I don't want you to go south quietly and out of sight. After all, getting married is a major event in life and is extremely important to everyone." Lin Xi turned to meet his gaze and said aggrievedly: " But you and Qingyu Huaijin were talking and laughing, I don’t understand."

Lu Chen asked gently and with a bit of curiosity: "Senior sister, actually I don't quite understand why you don't care much about Miss Li and Miss Wang, why are you so jealous of Qing Yu Huaijin? Do you think I Will you covet her beauty?"

Lin Xi pouted and said, "Is she beautiful?"

Lu Chen laughed dumbly.

Since they first met in Guangling, Lin Xi's impression on him is that she is quiet and elegant, with a temperament that does not take things for granted and does not take sorrow for herself. It is as if her life can form a self-consistent logic and will not be too violent due to external forces. fluctuation.

When she asked these four words in a little girl's tone, Lu Chen could no longer suppress the love in his heart. He put one hand on Lin Xi's shoulders and the other hand on her knees, and pulled this light body In arms.

"ah!"

Lin Xi was caught off guard and felt as if the clouds were flying and the fog was flying.

At this moment, she seemed to be just a weak woman, completely forgetting that her martial arts had already ranked among the top ten in the world.

She is no longer the Jianghu heroine who said to Li Bingxue, "Within a hundred moves, I will win" in Dingfeng Dao.

If Li Bingxue saw this scene, he would probably shake his head helplessly.

After the sound, Lin Xi found herself in Lu Chen's arms, leaning against his solid chest, as if she could hear his strong heartbeat.

She couldn't help but blush, and subconsciously raised her hands to support his chest, barely keeping a distance.

Lu Chen did not forget to answer her previous question and said leisurely: "In terms of appearance alone, Qingyu Huaijin is indeed a beauty."

Lin Xi snorted and said angrily: "Let me go and go find your beauty."

Lu Chen hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear: "But even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, how can she be compared with senior sister in my heart? Even if the emperor forces her with an imperial edict, even if she has to be chosen ten thousand times, I will I will only choose senior sister."

Lin Xi stopped struggling "weakly", a look of shame and joy appeared on the corners of her eyebrows, and she still said angrily: "I won't be fooled by sweet words, eh..."

Lu Chen suddenly kissed her fair earlobe, and Lin Xi felt like a thunder flashed in her mind, and she lost all her strength in an instant.

Although she looks thin, she is actually quite well-proportioned. After all, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child.

The two of them were pressed tightly against each other, and their earlobes were suddenly attacked again. Lin Xi pushed Lu Chen away slightly with difficulty, and said softly: "Junior brother, don't mess around."

"Sister, we are engaged."

Lu Chen reminded her gently in her ear. Lin Xi's mind was in a state of confusion. She didn't realize the difference between an engagement and a marriage, but she was worried that he would push the envelope. After all, it was broad daylight, and although no one would break in rashly, But after all, she couldn't be too willful, so she raised her head and looked at Lu Chen with her big watery eyes, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Junior brother, wait... wait until you get married..."

"What can you do?"

Lu Chen asked with interest.

Lin Xi's face felt hot. Looking at the evil smile on this guy's face, he suddenly woke up and moved his left hand to his waist. He found a piece of soft flesh with great precision and pinched it with a little force.

This was one of the top ten catches in the world. Fortunately, she didn't use the Eagle Claw Technique.

Even so, Lu Chen still felt a jolt of pain and said quickly: "Senior sister, I was wrong, please be gentle."

Lin Xi chuckled and said, "Let's see if you still dare to bully me."

Looking at the beautiful and refined face in his arms, Lu Chen couldn't help but hug her soft body tightly and slowly leaned forward.

Lin Xi raised her hand and pressed his lips and asked, "You haven't answered me yet about the relationship between you and Qingyu Huaijin."

Lu Chen said: "Senior sister is so smart, don't you understand why I treat her with courtesy? At present, Jingjun does not dare to come within three hundred miles of Heluo because he is afraid of rats. As long as Qingyu Huaijin lives well, Qingyu Gong We have to swallow our anger for the time being, there should be a good show going on in Jingguo's court at this time."

Lin Xi hesitated and said: "Then I..."

Lu Chen said with a bad smile: "As long as you don't hurt her life, it's okay to have a discussion. Anyway, you are justified in beating her, and you can do it according to the Jianghu people's method."

Lin Xi was startled and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are becoming more and more bad at learning."

Lu Chen did not take the words. He leaned down and kissed Lin Xi's cool and sweet lips without hesitation.

After a moment, Lin Xi shrank back, her eyes full of tenderness: "Actually... I miss you too."

This time she took the initiative to lean in, her hands quietly climbed up to Lu Chen's neck, and held him tightly.
