Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Be Captive And Indulgent
Immediately, Qin Mubai and the soldier left the barracks and headed for the woods.

“Are there any brothers injured?” He asked.

“Three brothers died.” “That woman is not fierce, and her martial arts are also very powerful …” the soldier said angrily.

Qin Mubai frowned and thought to herself, “Looks like after the assassination was revealed, Chen Yan realized that I might be suspecting her, so she struggled to escape.” That proves that there is something wrong with this woman. Otherwise, why would she be afraid to come back and see me again?

All the puzzles should be answered by her!

Not long after, the woods arrived.

More than a dozen Hundred Cavalry soldiers were scattered all over the forest. They were closely monitored to ensure absolute peace and security in this place.

When they arrived at the wooden cabin, a hundred cavalry squad came forward to pay their respects and said, “General, they are inside the cabin. Bind them.”

“Alright, thank you for your hard work!” Qin Mubai nodded in approval and walked into the wooden house.

Chen Yan sat on the ground, shaking her face. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were bent backwards. They were tied together with the ropes on her hands and wrapped around her waist.

Qin Mubai felt a little cruel when such a cold and charming beauty with thorns all over her body was tied up and placed on the ground, but a strange pleasure flashed through her heart.

The others tactfully left the cabin and walked several zhang away.

Qin Mubai walked to Chen Yan and stood there three steps in front of her. She said indifferently, “Why should I be like this?”

“Humph!” Chen Yan sneered and didn’t say anything. She didn’t even turn her head to look at Qin Mubai.

“Actually, everyone has their own aspirations. Different dao doesn’t work together. I won’t force you to cooperate with me.” Qin Mubai squatted down in front of her and said, “But since you chose to stand on the same side as me, you should abide by our agreement. Is it in line with your morality to go back on your word?”

“Losing small righteousness for the sake of righteousness, what a hero did!” Chen Yan said in a deep voice, still as cold as ice and as hard as iron.

“Then who is righteousness? Who is righteousness?” Qin Mubai laughed coldly, touched his waist, and took out a sharp dagger.

The bright blade reflected the moonlight reflected by the window and just happened to shine on Chen Yan’s charming and cold face.

“If you want to kill him, then kill him. Why bother with nonsense!” Chen Yan turned her head, her phoenix eyes trembling with anger as she gritted her teeth and shouted.

“Isn’t it a pity to kill you like this?” The corners of Qin Mubai’s mouth twitched slightly upwards, revealing a strange smile that was filled with evil spirits.

“You … dare!!” Chen Yanyou had never seen anything in Jianghu before. Obviously, she realized that Qin Mubai was hinting at something threatening and shouted angrily.

“Actually, this isn’t a question of whether I dare or not. It’s a matter of whether I’m interested or not.” Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and gently patted the cold blade on her delicate face, saying, “Isn’t it a pity that such a beautiful and charming face was scratched like this?” With such an attractive and plump body, it would be even more explosive if the fragrance was sold to Yu Yun like this. Chen Yan, if it were normal times, I might really do something to you. But right now, I’m not interested. ”

“Get your dirty hands off me! Scram!” Kai Yan cursed angrily and twisted her body to avoid it. Unexpectedly, she was tied up in such a snake-like shape, twisting the curves even more prominently, increasing her attractiveness instead.

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but stare at her full chest for a few times. She shook her head and sighed, “You really are a beauty. However, your dangers far outweigh your attractiveness. If it were an ordinary man, he would have been obsessed with you for a long time. Fortunately, I wouldn’t.”

As he spoke, Qin Mubai moved the knife down her fair and smooth face towards her slender, pink neck and gradually landed in front of a pair of plump peaks.

“Beast! Normally, you look so respectful, but I didn’t expect you to be so shameless and despicable!” Chen Yan blushed with embarrassment and anger. She spat at Qin Mubai’s face in anger.

Qin Mubai quickly turned around to avoid the mouthful of flying phlegm and quickly returned to her original state. Chen Yan stared at Qin Mubai in astonishment. Obviously, she was shocked by Qin Mubai’s quick reaction.

The knife still stopped between Chen Yan’s two peaks.

“I’ll ask you a few questions. If you answer well, I’ll let you go. If you don’t answer well … There are always many ways men torture women.” Qin Mubai sneered, and even smiled sinisterly and obscene.

Actually, he wasn’t used to this type of “torture”. It was just that Chen Yan was too special, she didn’t want to eat anything soft or hard. The better you treat her, the more she thinks you have an ulterior motive to disdain you; The more you respect her, the more she looks down on you. Because of this, if she wanted to have a good talk with her and ask why, she had a thousand lies to deceive others.

He had no choice but to use this kind of despicable technique.

Chen Yan lowered her head and looked at the knife on her chest. She suppressed her anger and took a deep breath, “You ask! Get rid of the dirty hands first.”

Qin Mubai withdrew his saber, but he put the blade in his nose and sniffed. A frivolous smile appeared on his face.

“Shameless!” Chen Yan’s face was red as she gritted her teeth and cursed.

“Time to get down to business.” Qin Mubai played with the knife and casually asked, “First question, what is your relationship with Zhu Chengwen?”

“I’m not lying about us.” Chen Yan said.

“Alright, I’ll believe you for now. Since you’re her widow, I have a second question.” Qin Mubai said, “Did you really come to Jishan just to avenge him?”

Chen Yan’s expression did not change. She was still as cold as ice and carried some anger as she said, “Of course.”

“Then why are you so anxious to kill Zhang Tianci now?” Qin Mubai asked, “I’ve already told you that the person who killed Zhu Chengwen was a group of people, not a single person. If you assassinate like this, even if you succeed, you will definitely alert the enemy. It will no longer be possible to uncover those accomplices behind the scenes. This is completely contrary to your original intention of avenging Zhang Tianci. Why are you so anxious to kill Zhang Tianci?”

“It’s very simple. I can’t trust you.” Chen Yan snorted coldly and said, “The bigger the official is, the more hypocritical he will become. All you know is that the officials are protecting each other. Yesterday, Zhang Tianci came to the barracks to deliver money and rations to you. God knows what kind of conspiracy there is between you two. Therefore, I must personally kill him and avenge my husband! And I must leave you because you can betray me at any time!”

“You’re lying!” Qin Mubai suddenly shouted, “You actually have the face to bite me back. You’re still lying!”

“You think you’re smart, you’re arrogant. But people like you often die miserably for no reason.” Chen Yan sneered with disdain as she turned around.

“Really? Looks like you are a little fearless. Then your backer should be very hard, right?” Qin Mubai smiled nonchalantly and said, “You just talked to me about the word’righteousness’. This is very good.” I would like to ask you, what is righteousness? I believe you are Zhu Chengwen’s widow for the time being. It is not wrong for you to avenge your husband. But this was Xiao Yi. If you kill more innocent people because of your reckless actions, what’s the difference between you and Zhang Tianci? Furthermore, let me assume that you killed Zhang Tianci to silence him, so that the big boss behind you wouldn’t be exposed. Whether you do so out of curse or out of gratitude, you are still obsessed with your own selfish interests or petty righteousness. ”

“You can shut up now.” Chen Yan sneered indifferently, “You’ve moved out of that state again. I’ve seen so many officials like you, and your mouth is full of hypocrisy, but in fact, your stomach is full of male and female prostitutes. You are hypocritical, sinister, and cunning, and you do not hesitate to use any means to achieve your goal. In comparison, I’m happy to draw my saber and bloody five steps. It’s much more straightforward than yours! Don’t talk too much. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I don’t want to hear a word of nonsense from you! Also, if you want to underestimate me, I will immediately commit suicide! After you become a ghost, I will make sure that you are not at peace day and night! ”

Qin Mubai was extremely disappointed. He stared at Chen Yan blankly. He shook his head and sighed. He brandished his saber and cut the rope that bound her. He turned around and said, “You go!”

Chen Yan was stunned for a long time. She untied the rope and stood up, “Do you think I would be grateful to you? Are you ashamed of yourself, or are you trying to capture me, or are you secretly sending people to follow me? I advise you to think clearly. Although you are good at martial arts, if you really force me to do so, you and these people outside, don’t even think of stopping me.”

“Scram-” Qin Mubai roared angrily, scaring the little soldiers standing far away to the point of bouncing in shock.

“It seems like our general has never been so angry before!”

Chen Yan’s pretty face trembled. She stared at Qin Mubai’s back in confusion. For a moment, she felt conflicted and hesitant, “Why can’t I understand this man?”

“You let me go, but I won’t!” Chen Yan said stubbornly. With a chuckle, she leaned her elbows against a pillar in the room and said, “Tell me, why did you suddenly let me go?”

“Because I don’t want to kill you.” Qin Mubai said quietly, his back still facing her.

Chen Yan’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of fear appeared on her face. “So, you really have a murderous intent towards me?”

“That’s right.”

“Why?”

“Because if you don’t die, more people will die.” Qin Mubai said indifferently, “There will be many innocents among them, including me. If it were any more serious, the Imperial Platform would be thrown into chaos and the world would be filled with troubles. Only by killing you can these things be eliminated.”

“Then why did you suddenly let me go?”

“Because I really don’t want to kill a loyal person.” Qin Mubai sighed softly and said, “The righteous have righteousness and small righteousness.” Some people are born for righteousness, some people have been guarding their little righteousness all their lives. The guardian of righteousness looks down on the guardian of small righteousness, the guardian of small righteousness does not understand the guardian of righteousness Neither can force the other to do what they want. In fact, regardless of whether it was upholding righteousness or small righteousness, these people all had their own beliefs and ideas, and they lived a stubborn and wonderful life. Now, there were fewer and fewer people like this in the world. To tell you the truth, I killed six people yesterday afternoon for the same purpose without hesitation. Six people I have never met before. I didn’t feel a trace of guilt when I killed them. But if I were to kill you, I wouldn’t be able to bear it. ”

After hearing this, Chen Yan fell silent for a moment before lowering her head and jaw as if she was deep in thought. After a long time, she said, “I really don’t know if I should trust you.”

“Better not.” “Sometimes, I don’t trust myself,” Qin Mubai said. Because there are many things that I can’t help but feel. Just now, you said something that made my heart tremble. You scolded me and said, ‘You’re hypocritical, sinister, cunning, and you don’t break your means to achieve your goal. In comparison, I’m happy to draw my saber and slice my blood five steps.’ You’re right. Actually, I also want to be like you, happy to see blood with a blade of grudge, just like how I treated Liao Lirong in Longmen Village that day. I really want to gouge out his heart and dismember his corpse into ten thousand pieces. But I can’t. I have more responsibilities on my shoulders than you, I have more questions to consider, I have more lives to take care of! ”

“Is this what you’re talking about … a righteous person?” Chen Yan said indifferently. Although his words were still a little cold, there was clearly a lot less hostility.

“I’m not that noble. I just have to find a job in my position. And if I don’t do it well, I’ll lose my life easily.” Qin Mubai said, “You look down on the officials, but I look down on them as well.” Because being an officer is not as good as being a dog. The scenery in front of him was infinitely brilliant, and the bitter tears behind him were filled with pity alone. You travelers in Jianghu should feel the same way, right? Especially those known as invincible experts. Everyone only talks about their scenery and prestige. Who knows how much hardship they have endured? ”

“Then why are you still an official?”

“Then why are you still walking in Jianghu? Then have you ever asked Zhu Chengwen this question, and how did he answer you?”

Chen Yan was speechless for a moment. She tilted her head and said, “I don’t read as much as you. I can’t say anything about you.”

“Stop talking, let’s go!” Qin Mubai sighed and said, “You and I are from two different worlds. I can’t guess what you’re thinking, and you don’t understand my thoughts. I just hope that you can do it well in the future and think of others before doing anything. It’s refreshing to draw your saber and spill five steps of blood, but have you really never regretted it?”

Chen Yan stopped talking and silently walked out of the door.

Qin Mubai’s back was still on her, and she was beating a drum in her heart, “Really? This woman is so heartless and untrustworthy. Is she really going to turn around and leave?”

Chen Yan stopped.

“Let me go, how do you explain this to Li Ke?”

“That’s my business. I won’t trouble you.”

Chen Yan took a few more steps and stopped again, “Stop playing such a trick. Did I get caught by countless elite generals as soon as I walked out?”

“All of you, withdraw! No one is allowed to stop Miss Chen from leaving! Those who violate the order will be punished by military law!” Qin Mubai shouted.

‘”Nuo–” A neat obedience came from outside, and more than ten shadows flashed like ghosts in the night.

Chen Yan silently lowered her eyelids and pondered for a while before suddenly opening her eyes. “Qin Mubai, should I really believe you?”

Qin Mubai turned around and said solemnly, “Actually, you can give it a try.”
