LRAB Chapter 148 Strange place
Chapter 148 Strange place
If he hadn't come back late, Chanchan wouldn't have been in danger.
They will not be questioned by Pan Hu either.
When Xie Lin thought of this, he felt a little regretful.
He shouldn't have chased after a familiar-looking person last night. Not only did he fail to catch the person, but he also wasted time.
That's why I came back so late...
"Cicada..."
"You saw someone familiar? Who is it?"
Xia Chan was attracted by Xie Lin's words and wanted to know who it was.
"Is it from Xie's army?"
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Yong’an Town was like a huge cage, and both she and Xie Lin were birds trapped in the cage.
She thought of the two Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters on the high platform. When they finally disappeared, they disappeared as evil ghosts with green faces and fangs.
Do they have anything to do with the mad horses in the street, the young woman, and the death of the little girl?
The summer cicada is confused.
Xie Lin whispered to her, "Yes, that man looks like my father's former deputy. According to my eldest brother and second brother, they saw with their own eyes that Deputy General Liu was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows."
Last night, Xie Lin went to Lucheng and was about to come back when he met a man who looked very much like Lieutenant General Liu.
He followed for a distance quietly without revealing his whereabouts.
It turned out that the other party was Lieutenant General Liu.
But he failed to catch up with the person, and delayed his return...
Xie Lin's tone was annoyed and his expression was full of regret.
Xia Chan held his hand and squeezed the back of his hand.
"It's okay. If he is really still alive, then there will definitely be a chance to meet him again."
Whether as an old friend or as an enemy.
As long as the other person is still alive, we will definitely meet one day.
Xie Lin also nodded affirmatively.
"Ah."
After he finished talking about his own affairs, he asked Xia Chan why the horse went crazy for no reason? And why did the mother and daughter suddenly die?
"Did they hurt Chanchan?"
What I am most concerned about is whether the summer cicadas are injured?
"I'm fine, they can't hurt me."
Having said that, the fact that someone could poison her in front of her without anyone noticing was really a blow to her.
"Is there anyone in this world more powerful than Chanchan?"
Xie Lin was also very suspicious.
"Could it be that this is another disciple that your master and his people took in, Chanchan?"
"will not."
Xia Chan answered with certainty.
The so-called master was just something she made up. Her real master was not in the Daqing Dynasty, but in the modern world of the 21st century.
That's why she could deny it so firmly. The person who secretly used poison today was definitely not her fellow disciple.
Xie Lin didn't know the inside story and simply thought that the senior who was both an expert in medicine and poison didn't accept any other disciples.
"Who could it be? There is no one in the martial arts world who is better at using poison than Senior, who is both a master of medicine and poison."
"do not know."
Xia Chan frowned and shook his head.
She carefully recalled the contents of the book and found that this paragraph did not exist in the original work at all.
But it's also true that Xie Lin's growth line in the original novel is not the current one, so there is naturally no such description.
Xia Chan thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Xie Lin couldn't bear to let her worry, so he reached out and hugged her in his arms, gently telling her not to worry.
"This is a troubled place, let's leave as soon as possible."
"okay."
Xia Chan didn't have a very good impression of this place. A feeling of disgust grew in his heart, but he couldn't tell exactly why he felt disgusted.
If she could leave, she naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Silent all night.
No one came to pry the door open at night.
Xia Chan and Xie Lin fell asleep in each other's arms.
In this strange and dangerous place, neither of them wanted to do anything.
They just hugged each other quietly, occasionally chatting a word or two and then fell asleep.
But when it was almost dawn, Xia Chan dreamed of the two Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters she had seen yesterday. In her dream, she saw them slowly taking off the masks on their faces.
Just as she was trying to see who they were, she heard a loud noise, waking her from her dream.
Xia Chan felt truly regretful that she couldn't see the true faces of those two people in her dream.
She slowly opened her eyes.
"Cicada, did I wake you up?"
Xie Lin walked back from the window. He had already changed into clothes for going out and it was obvious that he had been up for a while.
Xia Chan hummed and sat up with the help of Xie Lin.
My head is still a little dizzy.
"What's going on? It's so noisy outside."
"It is said that a new king emerged from a tribe in the Turkic region, and two groups of people started arguing over who was better, the new king or the old one."
Summer Cicada: ...
"Is this worth arguing about? The new king has been appointed. Anyone with a bit of insight knows who to support, right?"
She really didn't know what was worth arguing about.
Or are they quarreling in the street? Aren’t you afraid that others will spread the news to the ears of the new king?
Xie Lin also laughed: "Who knows what they are thinking."
He took the dress that was placed aside, shook it out and prepared to put the clothes on Xia Chan.
Xia Chan looked at him.
Well, he is really putting on clothes and his attitude is very serious, so let him wear them.
She held out her hand and was served by Xie Lin.
Downstairs on the street, the sound of quarreling could still be heard.
After Xia Chan woke up, her hearing became better. So even though the window was closed and they were on the third floor, she could still hear what the two groups were saying.
Those who supported the old king mocked the new king, saying that he was a man of unknown origin and that it was extremely unfair that he was eligible to participate in the tribal election just because he married into a herdsman's family.
Those who supported the new king praised him for his great power. Although the new king was a little older, he was more stable and reliable, and would definitely lead their tribe to prosperity...
The two groups of people have been arguing.
Not long after, Xia Chan heard the voice of Wankelai, the shopkeeper, smiling and asking the two quarreling groups to go away.
The cursing voice faded away and Xia Chan put on his clothes.
Neither she nor Xie Lin took the quarrel to heart.
After all, this is an internal matter of another nation and should not have much to do with them, so they did not focus on it.
When I hear others arguing, I just smile.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Chan and Xie Lin missed a huge opportunity.
An opportunity to discover that Xie Zhennan is still alive and has become the new king of the plateau tribe.
In a tribe about two hundred kilometers away from Yong'an, in the big tent belonging to the king of the tribe, a middle-aged man sat at the top.
Sitting next to him was his wife, whom he had just married during the Chinese New Year.
A'Luo has been pregnant for several months, and it won't be long before the baby in her belly will be introduced to everyone.
His father conquered an entire tribe and gave it to him as a gift.
Oh no, not just a whole tribe.
What Xie Zhennan wants is much more than just this.
