Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Randomly Identify Relatives
In the blink of an eye, Liao Lirong, who was already feeling guilty, timid, and panicked, was so frightened that he was as dumbfounded as a wooden chicken that he didn’t move. Seeing that the sharp sword was about to pierce through his throat, Qin Mubai suddenly stood up and slapped out with his palm, hitting the hand holding the sword. The tip of the sword deflected and pierced through the wall at the head of the bed.

Chen Yan’s eyes glared angrily as she shouted, “Don’t stop me. I will definitely kill this pig and dog!”

“Wow … ah ah!” At this moment, Liao Lirong woke up from his shock and shouted loudly. He jumped up a few times and was about to flee. At this time, a few Baiji soldiers rushed in and pressed him to the ground. Liao Lirong had already scared the three souls out of their wits and screamed like a pig. Suddenly, a stench of feces and urine appeared in the room.

“This fellow is actually scared out of his wits!”

Qin Mubai’s expression darkened as he stood between Liao Lirong and Chen Yan and said to her, “You promised me, but now why are you going back on your word?”

“If it was you, would you be able to endure it?” Chen Yan was still trembling with anger. She waved her wrist and pulled the sword back to its sheath. She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions. She turned her head and glared at Liao Lirong with resentment. “This person is worse than a pig or a dog! Fortunately, my husband treated him like a biological brother. He never sent his salary home. Most likely, he gave it to his family … this beast!”

“I, I’m sorry, Brother Zhu! I’m sorry, Brother Zhu! Miss, spare my life, spare my life!” Liao Lirong was pressed to the ground and could not move, so he could only shout desperately with his mouth.

“Shut up!” Qin Mu was so angry that she lifted her foot and kicked Liao Lirong in the mouth.

“Bang!”

With a loud explosion, Liao Lirong’s body shot out like a cannonball, directly smashing a large hole into the wooden wall and landing outside the courtyard.

The speed and ruthlessness of this kick caused the expressions of the Hundred Cavalry Soldiers and Chen Yan to change drastically.

Qin Mubai coldly glanced outside the courtyard with anger and said, “If it weren’t for my duty, I would have already shredded him into pieces. You guys just watch him carefully and don’t die. If he is dishonest at all, just cut off his arms and legs. In any case, his dog head will be cut off sooner or later!”

“Yes, General!” The soldiers agreed and walked out of the courtyard to pick up Liao Lirong, who had fainted, and threw him into the farmhouse sheep pen. At the place where he landed, a pool of dirty blood flowed down, including seven or eight teeth.

Seeing this, Chen Yan’s anger finally subsided. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She said apologetically, “It was my fault this time, but I promise that there won’t be another time.”

“I understand your feelings.” Qin Mubai said, “If it were me, I would probably be even angrier and more impulsive than you in the face of killing my enemies.” However, although Liao Lirong was hateful and damned, he was just a puppet and an executioner. The real murderer was still hiding behind the scenes. Without him as a witness, the masterminds behind the scenes could deny it. “We might as well fish long distances and catch all the people hiding behind the scenes before we can truly avenge your deceased husband.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Chen Yan turned around and walked to the window. She looked up at the dawn on the horizon and said faintly, “My greatest wish in my life is to kill his enemies with a blade. General Qin, you have to promise me. If one day I take down all those people, please let me-personally cut them to pieces!”

“This … I can only try my best to do it. I can’t guarantee it now.” Qin Mubai said, “After all, the laws of the country are not up to me alone. But don’t worry, I will try my best to help you fulfill your wish.”

“Thank you” Chen Yan spat out softly and stood by the window in a daze, not saying anything else.

Qin Mubai said, “We haven’t rested after traveling all night. Everyone is tired. Let’s just rest for a while. There are a few rooms in this mansion. You can choose one to sleep in. After lunch, we will set off for Jishan County.”

“Alright.”

“Right. It would be inconvenient for you to follow me.” Qin Mubai said, “When you arrive in Jishan County, find a place to stay first. I will send someone to keep in touch with you. You must promise not to act rashly to alert others.”

“No, I have to follow you closely and keep an eye on the progress of this case.” Chen Yan turned to Qin Mubai and said resolutely, “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. I’ll just disguise myself as a maid next to you.”

“Everyone knows that I have never had a maidservant beside me. Moreover, it is very inconvenient for me to live in the military camp.” Qin Mubai frowned, “Don’t insist. Trust me, only then can we cooperate properly.”

“Then from now on, you have one.” Chen Yan still insisted, “If you don’t want to be a maidservant … then let’s just be foster sisters!”

“Foster sister? Do all the children of Jianghu like to recognize relatives so much?” Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment before smiling with interest.

“Are you saying that I’m too old?” After saying that, Chen Yan raised her hand and removed the black veil palace hat from her head.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Mubai couldn’t help but feel his eyes shine!

What a valiant and cool beauty!

Her skin was as jade-like as grease, her red lips, beautiful nose, apricot eyes, and peach cheeks. Her long hair poured down like a cloth. The most amazing thing was her pair of eyes that had extremely long and shining eyelashes. They were faintly glittering with starlight. There was a touch of soul-stirring magic in their coldness and beauty.

“I didn’t expect you to be so young. It looks like you’re about the same as my sister Shuang’er.” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but shake his head and clicked his tongue, “This is truly disrespectful!”

Chen Yan casually tossed the hat aside, then sat down on the chair, put down her sword, and moved her somewhat numb arms, saying, “Not young, at least older than you.”

“I’m twenty-one years old.” Qin Mubai said.

“I’m two years older than you.” Chen Yan said indifferently, “Looks like being your foster sister is still wronging me. But a romantic young master like you, you only know how to accept foster sisters outside, right? Besides, I do look younger than you.”

“That’s.” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh. “Normally, monsters would be born younger, making it impossible to tell her age. Then, they would take advantage of this opportunity to charm all living beings.”

“You’re so talkative. Get out.” Chen Yan coldly glared at Qin Mubai, “I’m going to sleep.”

“Alright, then you can rest.” Qin Mubai smiled and walked out. When she was about to leave, she couldn’t help but look back, adding a trace of beauty to her heart.

This woman was very fierce and tyrannical. On the surface, she looked a little cold. However, judging from the fact that she had traveled thousands of miles to Jishan to exert all her strength to avenge Zhu Chengwen, deep down in her heart, she was a person who valued love and righteousness.

A woman with a cold exterior and a fiery heart and such a monstrous appearance, coupled with her extraordinary martial arts skills, exuded a mature charm and a cold aura from head to toe.

A real demonic woman!

Qin Mubai had always believed that a woman like Chen Yan would be more knowledgeable and charming, and would be the best among women. Seeing Chen Yan, Qin Mubai couldn’t help but think of another person-Princess Gaoyang’s mother, Imperial Concubine Yin De. The two of them seemed to have different personalities, but in fact, they had something in common. They all gave off a sense of wisdom and calmness. They, who were already women, understood men’s thoughts better and were also more understanding. The difference was that Concubine Yin De was a royal concubine with a dignified and dignified Yong Rong, while Chen Yan was reserved and had an unrestrained and unrestrained air that was unique to the children of Jianghu.

“Zhu Chengwen was really a blessed person when he was alive. Unfortunately, good people don’t live long and have no fortune to live with.” Qin Mubai secretly sighed.

It was already dawn and Qin Mubai went into a room to sleep with his clothes. It was a bit tiring to travel all night, and he unknowingly fell asleep until noon. When he woke up, he could vaguely hear a few people whispering outside the door. They were Baiji’s brothers. It felt as if they were still a little resentful, not knowing what had happened.

Qin Mubai got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out. He saw two Baiji soldiers surrounded by others. They were gritting their teeth angrily and cursing softly. “Could it be that they are having a fight with Chen Yan? It’s really troublesome …” The others were filled with righteous indignation, urging them to seek revenge.

“What are you arguing about?” Qin Mubai shouted in a low voice. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly fell silent to greet him.

At this moment, Qin Mubai saw that the two people standing in the middle seemed to have suffered some injuries. One of them had some bruises on his face, while the other was injured in the arm. It was difficult for him to lift it, and he was trembling.

Qin Mubai walked over to the two of them and glanced at them. “What happened to you guys?” He said in a deep voice.

“This …”

“Speak!”

The two soldiers had no choice but to explain. He said that the village was poor, and it was difficult for them to buy good wine and food even if they had money. This morning, they prepared lunch in advance, wanting to bring some wild beasts back to pay their respects to their boss, Qin Mubai. So the two men bent their bows and mounted their horses to hunt in the back of the village. When the two of them met a flock of geese, they drew their bows and shot at each other in comparison to their archery techniques. The wild goose shot down, but it started to quarrel with others. It turned out that there was a wild goose with two arrows stabbed into its body. One pierced through the abdomen, and the other pierced through the throat, was another person. The duo began to quarrel over the ownership of the wild goose and started to fight with each other. Unexpectedly, the two of them combined were no match for each other, and they were all injured.

“That’s all you’ve got!” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little annoyed, “To actually fight with the villagers here for a wild goose! If word of this gets out, you will lose all face to the Hundred Cavalry!”

“General, forgive me!” “We didn’t want to compete with him, but that brat was too arrogant! He picked up the wild goose first, pulled out the arrow that I shot into the abdomen of the wild goose and said,” It’s a pity that I wasted the best Golden Eagle Arrow. General, are you saying that brat is angry? We didn’t want to compete with him for the wild goose, but he ridiculed us! ”

Qin Mubai frowned, “Then you quarreled with him and even made a move?”

“Yes” The soldier lowered his head in shame. Judging from their expressions, there was no need to ask. The two of them were no match for each other, and they were even ruthlessly dealt with by others.
