The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 34

In the gazebo not far away, Yan Ling cut up a plate of watermelon, put it carefully behind Song Chen and Chu Xue, and called softly: "Master, master, it's hot, you two, eat some watermelon to relieve the heat."

Chu Xue straightened up after hearing the words, and took the fruit plate from Yanling's hand.

The watermelon bought from a town at noon was just put in the town by the guards in the stream, and it was cool and delicious to eat. Chu Xue handed a piece to Song Chen before eating it herself.

The melon slices were sliced ​​thin, which is convenient to eat in the wild, but they are too small, and they were eaten in two bites. Seeing this, Chu Xue handed him another piece, and said with a smile: "This melon is so sweet, I will eat another piece."

Song Chen was about to reach out to pick it up, but when he turned his head, he saw her pink cheeks, her cherry red lips were stained with red juice, making them even more beautiful, and with the melon flesh in her mouth, she looked very plump .

That taste should be much better than melon.

He was still thirsty, but he didn't answer.

Chu Xue was a little strange, she tilted her head and asked him, "Will you stop eating such a delicious watermelon?"

He moved the fruit plate on her lap to another place, slowly approached her and said, "I still want to eat it, but I want to taste what's in your mouth."

After finishing speaking, he hugged her waist tightly and covered her lips.

Yan Ling, who was behind the two of them, hurriedly turned his head, Lu Fang had the experience of last time, so he reacted very quickly, and also hurriedly turned around.

Both the girl and the young man blushed a little, and after a moment of embarrassment, Yanling coughed, "Lord Lu, there are chopped melons there, just wait, I'll get them for you."

Said and hurried into the gazebo.

Hearing Yan Ling's voice, Chu Xue remembered that there was a group of guards behind her, and hurriedly pushed Song Chen away.

"What's wrong?" Song Chen asked her hoarsely.

She blushed, "There are still many people here."

Song Chen didn't even turn his head, and said anxiously: "They can't see what they shouldn't see, don't worry." Then he leaned over and wanted to continue.

Chu Xue was about to cry, and hurriedly pushed him away to get up, "It's getting late, sir, let's hurry up."

He actually wanted to continue, but seeing that it was getting late, he got up regretfully and went back to the car with her.

Seeing this, the guards got on their horses one after another.

Yan Ling was still packing up the remaining melon slices, Lu Fang saw this and hurried forward to help her, and the two of them touched their fingers unexpectedly, Yan Ling blushed immediately, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Lu Fang nodded.

There is a sweet feeling in my heart.

She blushed, wasn't she... shy.

After tidying up for a while, Yan Ling hurriedly jumped into the carriage, the two masters were inside the carriage, it was difficult for her to get in, and she had to be served at any time, so she had to sit on the carriage outside.

But this is also good, firstly, the wind is cool, and secondly...you can still see him.

An hour later, the group arrived at the last inn in Yanzhou.

There was no entertainment for the journey, and it was already dark when they arrived, so after dinner, Song Chen and Chu Xue went back to their room to rest. Give them a room.

The next day, neither of them got up early, and it was already mid-morning when they went out after breakfast.

Although he has already left his fiefdom, Song Chen still does not intend to put on a guard of honor. Those ceremonies are actually a bit tiring. He intends to walk for two more days and make his official appearance when he enters Gyeonggi.Right now, if you can live in peace, you can live in peace first.

This day's journey was a bit desolate, and people in villages and towns were not often seen. Chu Xue just glanced at the dense forest and barren hills outside, and reclined on the couch to rest.Song Chen turned his head to look at the dozing beauty with closed eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then continued to flip through the idle book in his hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xue was sleeping when she suddenly felt a jolt and woke up. She opened her eyes and was about to ask what was wrong, but she saw Song Chen's brows tightened.

With doubts, she sat up straight, and before she could say anything, there was the sound of swords and swords fighting outside the car.

In the chaos, Lu Fang's voice sounded, "Master, there is an ambush!"

I saw Song Chen ordering in a deep voice, "Keep alive."

"Yes."

Then someone said, "Shi Yi, Zou Zhen, protect the master first!"

There was a loud whipping sound, the carriage shook violently, and rushed forward quickly.

Chu Xue just woke up from the dream, her mind was still a little confused, and the conversations just now made her even more puzzled, but seeing Song Chen's surprisingly cold and serious, she vaguely judged something.

They were attacked?
Who is going to attack them?
Robbery bandits?
But they have only one carriage, and there are more than [-] guards on horseback. Although they are in casual clothes, anyone can see that they are not easy to mess with because of their strong physique and murderous look. How about foolishness coming head-to-head?
The carriage was driving fast, with some bumps. She couldn't sit still. Although she was terrified, she knew the seriousness of the situation and didn't dare to speak. She only looked at Song Chen worriedly from time to time, but she saw that although Song Chen looked solemn, he didn't panic. She felt a little relieved and held his arm tightly.

Suddenly she heard the neighing of the horse, the speed of the car slowed down, and the cold sound of weapons fighting came again. Chu Xue remembered the voice just now saying that there are only two people protecting them now, but she doesn't know how many people are attacking them outside. She heard It is said that he has six personal guards, all of whom are top experts, but if one is against a hundred, what are the chances of winning...

At such a critical moment, she really hates that she is not Yanling. She can protect herself with some skill, and won't hold him back... By the way, Yanling?Where is she?There is chaos outside, the sword has no eyes, is she okay?

She was worried and frightened when she caught a glimpse of a black figure approaching outside the window from the corner of her vision. Before she could make a sound, a cold light flashed into the car, and a long knife pierced through the car window and stabbed Song Chen. Chu Xue exclaimed, "Master!" She almost instinctively threw herself on him.

The moment she threw him down, she didn't have any thoughts in her mind, she closed her eyes tightly, just waiting for the pain of the long knife piercing her body.

But the pain never came.

She opened her eyes suspiciously, only to see that Song Chen held the blade that was about to strike her with one hand, the sharp blade cut his hand, and blood dripped down on her back like raindrops.

He frowned, and there was a fierceness in his eyes that she had never seen before. After the long knife was held by him for a few seconds, it suddenly lost its strength and softened. life.

Chu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and he let go of his hand, but the blood dripping from him had already covered her back, tears gushed out, and she called him tremblingly: "Master! Master, are you alright?"

There was a sound of swords and swords slashing outside the car. With a stern face, he shook his head without saying a word.Chu Xue was at a loss, and after a moment of panic, she thought of stopping the bleeding. She tore off a long piece of fabric from the corner of her skirt, and tremblingly went to bandage him.At this time, the guards roughly broke through the attacking crowd, and the carriage started driving again.

Although she was born in the general family, she had never seen any fighting scenes, nor had she seen anyone shed so much blood.It was the Yingyue massacre that year, she just hid in the bushes by the side of the road at that time, and did not witness those killings with her own eyes.But now, she witnessed the blood oozing from his hands, and the threatening smell of blood approached the tip of her nose again, she was actually very scared in her heart, tears rolling down like broken pearls one after another, trembling, she went to bandage his Wound.

She had never done these things before, so she was a little clumsy, and when she finally wrapped it up for him, the carriage had already driven far away.The surroundings were already quiet, she raised her eyes to look outside the car, saw that they were already driving on the wide official road, she calmed down a little, and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

When she was about to touch her face, she realized that her fingertips were covered in his blood. She paused and touched her face with her sleeve.

Song Chen didn't speak all the time, and she didn't dare to make a sound, she just sat quietly beside him, holding the edge of the couch tightly with her hands, resisting the bumps caused by the speeding carriage.

After that, the journey went smoothly, and about an hour later, when the sky darkened, they arrived at a post house.

Since they chose the post house, they must reveal their identities. Shi Yi, who escorted them, flashed his waist badge, and everyone in the hall knelt down in fright. There were not too many pleasantries, just a simple hello, and entered the room.

They arrived in a hurry, and the post house was not prepared in advance, but fortunately there were still a few upper rooms, which were clean and quiet, and after a while, the post chief called for a doctor.

Knowing that Song Chen's status is noble, the doctor brought top-grade gold sore medicine, the knife in the afternoon was extremely sharp, and the incision in his hand was not shallow, but fortunately, no bones were injured, and it is expected to heal in about half a month.

Seeing the doctor take care of Song Chen's wound, Chu Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

The postmaster was careful, even though he had never seen Chu Xue before, he could guess that this was King Heng's beloved concubine, so he picked a few nimble maidservants from his home to serve her.Song Chen's blood was still stained on her back. The clothes were thin in summer, and the blood stained through the clothes and condensed on her skin. Seeing that Song Chen was fine, she remembered that she was here, and she was taken by the maid to take a bath and change clothes .

After finishing the chores, it was halfway through the hour of Xu when a group of guards rushed over, and it seemed that the trouble had been solved. She had a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and she really didn't have the mood to eat any more.

Yanling hasn't come back yet.

I don't know if she will be okay.

The guards were all waiting for Song Chen's orders in another room, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she could only wait quietly.

After another hour of anxiety, she finally heard Yan Ling's voice, and Yan Ling was brought over by the last group of guards.

When the boulder fell to the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Once again, the master and the servant narrowly escaped death, embraced each other and wept with joy.
