Chapter 038: Meeting

Meng Chifei is Wen Yan's best friend.

Wen Yan is also Meng Chifei's best friend.

Meng Chifei was born into a family of military generals and had been exposed to swords, spears, and halberds since childhood.

Her face was like her mother's, and she was born with a stunning beauty that was beyond compare.

She inherited her father's height and strength.

She was a head taller than ordinary girls since she was a child. When she grew up, Wen Yan only reached the height of her chest when standing next to her.

Even among the men, she was a head taller.

She was also incredibly strong. It was said that when she was only five or six years old, she could wield the meteor hammer with great vigor.

Other noble ladies were unwilling to play with her because they thought she was too tall and strong.

Only Wen Yan was not only willing to play with her, but also would stand up to defend her when other noble ladies ridiculed her.

"Chi Fei can single-handedly defeat three enemies on the battlefield. Can you do that? Chi Fei can shoot an arrow through the enemy's head from a hundred paces away. Can you do that?"

Those noble ladies were speechless and could only give her a nickname behind her back, calling her "Chi Chuichui".

Since then, the two have formed a deep friendship and their relationship is like that of sisters.

When Wen Yan burst into tears, Meng Chifei was at a loss.

She pulled Wen Yan into her arms and patted her back gently to comfort her: "It's only been half a year since we last met, why are you crying like you've lost her and found her again?"

Meng Chifei patted her back lightly, and his unintentional teasing suddenly hit the nail on the head.

For Meng Chifei, they had only not seen each other for half a year.

For Wen Yan, there was a world of life and death between them.

"I'm just so happy to see you!" Wen Yan didn't want her to have to travel a long way and worry about herself.

He calmed down and smiled.

But the stronger and more considerate she was, the more Meng Chifei felt sorry for her: "Silly girl, in front of me, you can laugh if you want to laugh, and cry if you want to cry. Don't suppress your emotions.

Is it that your new husband treats you badly? He dares to bully my sister Meng Chifei, wait and see how I deal with him! "

Meng Chifei was ready to fight, and had already thought of eighteen ways to beat the Ying family.

"Oh, my dear sister!" Wen Yan pushed her hand back. "My in-laws are indeed not very good, but don't you know my abilities? How could they get away with anything from me? They have been begging for a separation and breaking off the relationship. Just the other day, that old lady came to make trouble again and insisted that I serve her. Guess what happened?"

"What's going on?" Meng Chifei's train of thought was immediately distracted.

"I had someone tell her ghost stories all night long. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night. I guess seeing me now is like seeing a ghost."

"Hahahahaha... She deserves it. Why pick on you when there are so many people to pick on. But you're too gentle this time." Meng Chifei had seen Wen Yan playing a prank on people with his own eyes.

Every time it makes people miserable and there is no way to reason with them.

Wen Yan waved her hand and pulled Meng Chifei to sit aside. "The old lady is almost sixty. I played too hard and scared her, and I got myself into trouble. How can I, a beautiful girl, spend the rest of my life in prison because of an old woman?"

Wen Yan handed the dried tea to Meng Chifei.

Meng Chifei had been on the road for a long time and his mouth was already dry.

She drank half a bowl in one breath.

Wen Yan took another piece of dessert and fed it to her mouth.

Meng Chifei swallowed it all in one gulp. "Why don't you get a divorce? I'll support you. If you're worried about those big-mouthed women in the capital, just come with me to the border. My father's there to protect you, and you can walk around freely."

An old man named Niutou who was passing by slipped and almost fell, and ran away in a panic.

Wen Yan winked at her and said, "My new husband is so handsome. I can't bear to leave him."

"Pfft...cough cough."

Meng Chifei covered her mouth to prevent the snack from spitting out, which made her cough.

Wen Yan quickly handed her some water to help her calm down.

Meng Chifei finally calmed down his cough, "You... aren't you devoted to Huo Yaoxing? Why did you suddenly fall in love with someone else?"

Wen Yan tilted her head. "Who said I'm devoted to Huo Yaoxing? That's my parents' order and I can't disobey it. Those mansions are so cruel that they eat people without leaving any bones. Whoever wants to go can go, but I don't want to go anyway."

"Really?" Meng Chifei felt that she was forcing herself.

"Of course it's true. I have a handsome husband now. If I build up my business, I'll be rich, free and at ease. Life will be so comfortable. As for the Wen family and the Huo family..." Wen Yan sneered, waved her hand, and said no more.

"As long as you are happy." Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, Meng Chifei put the divorce issue aside.

Wen Yan looked at Guan Dao and said, "Where are Brother Xi Yan and the others? Didn't they come back with you this time?"

Meng Chifei: "I came here first, chasing this bastard. They are still behind."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the official road again.

After a while, a group of armored soldiers came towards this side, guarding a carriage.

"Brother and the others have arrived." Meng Chifei stood up and waved over there, "Brother, this way."

After a while, the team arrived in front of the tea stall.

Leading the way was a general in silver armor, riding a tall, blood-sporting horse. From a distance, he looked like a dragon with majestic appearance and a phoenix with graceful demeanor.

Now that I was closer, I felt that the Silver-Armored General was very young, with an exceptionally tall stature, and his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as knives.

There was a murderous aura emanating from his body, as if he had fought through a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"Whoa--" He reined in his horse and dismounted.

Wen Yan followed Meng Chifei and went to greet him, saluting the young general: "Brother Xi Yan."

Zhao Xiyan looked at Wen Yan and smiled, "Half a year since we last met, our little sister Yan Yan has already become someone else's daughter-in-law."

Wen Yan didn't feel shy or awkward at all. Instead, she responded with a chuckle, "Brother Xi Yan, I'm going to take my husband to visit the Meng family someday. Do you have a sister-in-law to take us to meet them?"

Meng Xiyan remained calm while killing the enemy in the battlefield, but his cheeks turned red when he was teased by Wen Yan.

Wen Yan regained a point, chuckled, and turned to salute the soldiers.

They are not ordinary soldiers, but orphans raised by the Meng family with all their efforts.

From Big Brother Chen, to Twelfth Brother Chen, he only skipped Seventh Brother Chen.

"Where's Brother Chen Qi..." Wen Yan's expression froze.

The joyful atmosphere of the reunion suddenly stagnated.

Meng Chifei put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother is only missing an arm and a leg, and his life is saved. He is still recovering in the northern border and will not come back until he is fully recovered."

One arm and one leg?

Wen Yan glanced at Meng Xiyan.

What a coincidence.

Wen Yan suppressed his emotions, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as he's still alive, everything is fine. We just happen to have a new business and are short of manpower. Brother Chen Qi is quick-witted and very good at accounting. When the time comes, we can ask him to condescend to be our accountant."

Wen Yan made some jokes and turned the dull atmosphere around with just a few words.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage opened.

A thin woman with fair skin and graceful figure walked out.
