Chapter 23 The Lonely Village

Zhao Lingjun made up his mind and decided to go back to Wuchen Mountain to explain the whole story with the general. He had just taken a few steps, and Chen Yufang shouted behind him, "You can only die when you go back now."

Zhao Lingjun ignored him and continued to walk quickly. Chen Yufang shouted in a sweet voice, "Who will find your Miss Chen when you die? Who will complete her mission for her?"

Zhao Lingjun was stunned for a moment, stopped, turned around and glared at her, and said, "You eavesdrop on my conversation with Sister Chen!"

Chen Yufang said in a plain tone, "I happened to hear it. Chen Yiling is my sister. I came here to save her from the trap."

After hearing this, Zhao Lingjun couldn't help but open his eyes in shock and said, "What...what? You...you are Yi Ling's sister!"

Chen Yufang smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, I am the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Yiying is my second brother, and Ling'er is my youngest girl."

Zhao Lingjun was skeptical and murmured, "No wonder you are so powerful in martial arts. Could it be that you are also the Great Inner Dragon Guard? Why have you never heard Sister Chen mention you?"

Chen Yufang took out a token from his arms, and Zhao Lingjun looked closer and saw that the sign was clearly engraved with the words [Longwei] and a golden dragon.

Zhao Lingjun hesitated and asked, "Why didn't you say you were Yi Ling's sister just now, but you just said that at this time."

Chen Yufang sighed and said, "Oh... My sister disappeared for more than a month. The Dragon Guard brothers in the palace were searching for inquiries. I happened to see you enter the cave today. I thought it was suspicious, so I followed you and hid on a tree outside the cave. I didn't expect to find my sister. She was imprisoned in Wuchen Mountain!"

Zhao Lingjun thought to herself that she had been hiding outside the cave for a long time, and she was unconscious of going in and out. Chen Yufang was talking, tears gradually arose in her eyes, and she choked and said, "Ling'er has been a stubborn temper since she was a child. She has been locked in Wuchen Mountain these past few months, so she has naturally suffered a lot of grievances."

Zhao Lingjun felt sad and said, "Sister Chen, you don't have to be sad. Sister Ling... She has a good fortune and will definitely turn danger into a barrage."

Chen Yufang raised his hand to wipe away the tears in the corner of his eyes and smiled and said, "Duocheng my little brother's good words. I hid in the tree and saw someone slipping into the cave. It looked bad. I think there are many masters in Wuchen Mountain, so how could he let him come and go? I must have another accomplice, so I checked around and confirmed that there was no one nearby, so I entered the cave."

Zhao Lingjun sighed secretly and said, "If Sister Chen had come in earlier, my two senior brothers might not have died."

Chen Yufang looked sad and said, "I'm still a step late after all, and your two senior brothers were in trouble. Fortunately, I caught up with you and saved you."

Zhao Lingjun bowed and said, "Ah! I haven't thanked Sister Chen for helping me for helping me, Lingjun is still unable to repay me!" Chen Yufang smiled and said, "You little brother, don't thank me. I see you when I deliver food to my sister. It should be my sister who thanks you." After that, Yingying bowed.

Zhao Lingjun hurriedly held it and said, "Sister Chen must not be too polite. Let's rescue Sister Yiling first and go find something with her."

Chen Yufang frowned slightly and asked, "Did Ling'er tell you what it is?" Zhao Lingjun shook his head and said, "Sister Ling only said that it is very important, it is related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, so I have to get it no matter what."

Chen Yufang's eyes moved slightly, and her brows were frowned like willow leaves, and she said, "Well, I think Ling'er should still be in Wuchen Mountain at this moment. Xiao Yunxia is usually hypocritical, but he didn't expect that he would arrest the Dragon Guard privately. I must report to Emperor Ming when I go back!"

Zhao Lingjun was still confused at this time and said, "General... Why did he hold on to Sister Ling? Could it be that he just wanted something like that?"

Chen Yufang said angrily, "No! Xiao Yunxia must be hiding a thief's heart. I don't know what the abacus had. It's a pity that the general of the Tiger Guard is also in Wuchen Mountain. If only Xiao Yunxia was the only one, Ling'er would have been saved at this time."

Although Zhao Lingjun didn't want to help her break into Wuchen Mountain, she wanted to save Chen Yiling. It would be impossible to rely on herself alone, so she said, "I know the road to Wuchen Mountain, let's go find Sister Ling together."

Chen Yufang's eyes were dim, she shook her head, and said, "No, I had a palm with Zhang Baojie. Now my inner breath is in chaos and I have to be cured in three days. Within three days, I only have less than 30% of my usual skills. At this time, I am experiencing a death sentence." Before she recovered from her internal injuries, she felt tired after speaking for a while and slowly sat on a big stone.

Zhao Lingjun was upset and said, "Oh, it's just that I'm too bad at martial arts and stupid, and I can't think of any good idea."

Chen Yufang said lightly, "It's okay, Zhang Baojie was also injured. It's impossible for me to stay in Wuchen Mountain for three days. After three days, my internal strength will be restored, so I won't be afraid of Xiao Yunxia."

Zhao Lingjun thought it was good. Now that the general has determined that he had an affair with foreign enemies, he had to retreat and stay away from Wuchen Mountain first. When he comes back three days later, he will rescue Sister Ling first and look for an opportunity to explain.

Chen Yufang looked pale, and she stroked her chest and coughed lightly, saying, "It's dawn, let's go quickly. If you don't leave, your Eagle Guard brother will chase you."

Zhao Lingjun nodded, and the two walked straight to the small village south of Wuchen Mountain. Chen Yufang had internal injuries and had not walked a few miles. She was sweating profusely on her forehead, gasping for breath, and her handsome cheeks were flushed.

Zhao Lingjun was quite worried and asked, "Sister Chen, are you okay? Why don't we find an inn to rest first and leave tomorrow?"

Chen Yufang reached out and swept away the broken hair that was soaked in sweat on her forehead, shook her head and said, "No...No... I need to go to the village to be safe..."

Zhao Lingjun looked at Chen Yufang's firm expression and couldn't help but feel admiration. He leaned over and said, "Sister Chen, you come on my back, I will carry you faster."

Chen Yufang's face was slightly red. If someone saw it, she would be a big fool and wanted to refuse. However, her red lips moved slightly. Before she could say a word, her chest was already filled with blood and dizzy. She had to nod, put her arms around Zhao Lingjun's neck, and lay behind him.

Zhao Lingjun grew up in the Eagle Guard Army since childhood. The one who comes into contact with the most is his senior sister Lu Xue. Although Lu Xue is bold and careless, she has never made any intimate actions.

It is a unique time in my life to hold a young woman who is a few years older than me. Zhao Lingjun walked quickly, and only felt a warm breath blowing into his ears, as faint as fragrant orchid, and sweet as rain and dew, which made people feel refreshed.

He turned his head and saw Chen Yufang's eyes slightly closed, and he was already asleep on his shoulders. His sleeping face was beautiful, like the lotus bean curd in summer and the setting sun in autumn.

Zhao Lingjun was excited and slowed down. He turned to look at Chen Yufang's beautiful face, and couldn't help but want to kiss her delicate cheeks.

He pouted his lips and slowly leaned towards Chen Yufang. The smile of his senior sister Lu Xue suddenly appeared in his mind, as if he was a wake-up call. Zhao Lingjun was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat and said, "Oh no! Why did I become such a villain!" He slapped himself several times in the face.

Chen Yufang was awakened by the sound, her eyes opened slightly, and she said, "What...what happened? Are the Eagle Guard chasing me? Is Zhang Baojie also?"

Zhao Lingjun's cheeks were slightly swollen, ashamed, and whispered, "Nothing, no one is chasing me, Sister Chen, we're about to get to the village."

Chen Yufang said "Yes" and said, "It will be safe when you enter the village. Please let me go, thank you all the hard work."

Zhao Lingjun put down Chen Yufang with her back, and saw her haggard face, with her toes slightly dripping, she glanced at the village entrance in the distance, and said, "There are less than two or three miles left, let's hurry up and it will be dark."

Zhao Lingjun lowered his head and replied, "Yes." Chen Yufang seemed to not care about his changes. They walked each other and arrived at the entrance of the village after noon.

There is a wooden sign hanging on an ancient tree in the village, engraved with three big characters [Songjia Village]. Looking around, the village is filled with flowers and green trees, surrounded by green bricks and green tiles, and the sound of gurgling water is accompanied by crisp birds. It makes people look like they are in a paradise when they see it.

Zhao Lingjun has not left Wuchen Mountain for more than ten years. He has never seen such a small bridge and flowing water and the smoke from cooking. He couldn't help but feel excited and said with a smile, "It turns out that there is such a beautiful scenery in the world."

Chen Yufang praised, "This village is quaint, with green mountains and clear waters. It is a rare paradise on earth. It is only a dozen miles away from Wuchen Mountain. Don't you know?"

Zhao Lingjun shook his head and said, "I really don't know!" The two of them walked into the village together, and saw that there were mostly small roads and farmlands. Scattered farmers carried bamboo baskets and were planting rice seedlings in the fields with bare arms.

Zhao Lingjun was worried that Chen Yufang's yellow-flowered daughter would inevitably be embarrassed when she saw her. She was about to speak, but she seemed to be used to it, her eyes were plain and natural, without any shyness.

Chen Yufang looked at it for a while and said, "Brother Zhao, you are waiting for me here." Zhao Lingjun didn't know where she was going, so he agreed, "Okay, I understand. Sister Chen."

Not long after Chen Yufang left, she took a set of ordinary people's clothes and handed them to Zhao Lingjun, saying, "Your outfit from the Eagle Guards is too eye-catching, please change it quickly."

Zhao Lingjun was quite reluctant to leave this new set of Eagle Guard armor, but now in order to cover up, he had to change it. After some trouble, both of them were a little hungry. They walked to a tavern in the village and found a seat to sit down. It was noon, and there were guests inside and outside the tavern, but there was only one-armed waiter holding a wine pot and greeted him back and forth.

Zhao Lingjun opened his mouth and shouted, "Waiter! Please give me a pot of tea, two dishes of side dishes and two bowls of rice!" The one-armed waiter agreed, smiling on his face. The only remaining one walked to the table with two tea bowls in his right hand, spread his arms and put down the bowl, and then went to get the teapot to pour tea.

Seeing that he was inconvenient to move, Zhao Lingjun wanted to come forward to help, but was pulled by Chen Yufang from under the table. The one-armed waiter filled the tea and went straight to serve the food.

Chen Yufang looked at the two tea bowls on the table and said lightly, "What a stable hand." Zhao Lingjun asked, "What?" Chen Yufangyu pointed at the tea bowl.

Zhao Lingjun looked at it intently and couldn't help but be surprised. The tea in the two tea bowls was just sticking to the wall of the bowl. If there was one more drop, it would have to overflow.
