Ding Shang, who was hiding at the back, looked at Yan Cheng, whose mouth had unconsciously pursed into a "へ" shape, and then looked at the middle-aged uncle who looked not like a good person, and felt very angry.
This guy didn't understand the situation. It was Yan Cheng who saved him. Not only did he not say that he would repay the favor immediately, but he even dared to question Yan Cheng.
Isn’t it just a few people under his command?
Which official doesn’t have a few capable people at home?
Seeing that Yan Cheng didn't say anything, Ding Shang was extremely anxious. Really, if he were Yan Cheng, he would kick this ungrateful and hypocritical old man out right now.
Thinking of this, Ding Shang became impatient and wanted to step forward to persuade Yan Cheng to teach the old man a lesson. As soon as he moved, the sword that had been unsheathed a little was placed across his body.
shock!
Ding Shang, with cold sweat on his back, slapped his chest fiercely. Damn it! He was almost disfigured!
He looked up angrily, then met Leng Yan's cold eyes. His body stiffened, he smiled awkwardly, and retreated back into the darkness.
When Leng Yan turned his head, Ding Shang punched his back a few times and thought angrily, if it weren't for the fact that you are Yan Cheng's man, I would have taught you a lesson long ago.
He didn't know if his movements were too big or Leng Yan's intuition was too accurate, but when he was throwing the third punch, Leng Yan suddenly turned around. He immediately put down his hand and smiled ingratiatingly.
This time he was frightened by Leng Yan's cold eyes and dared not move rashly again.
It was at this time that the middle-aged man seemed to realize that what he had just said was not a good thing. He looked back and saw that his guard had an expression that looked like he wanted to hit someone.
"Ahem, sorry, I didn't speak in a nice way, young master, please don't take it to heart." The middle-aged man said carefully, "The young master's protection is the young master's family's business, I shouldn't ask too much."
If you don't ask him in person, he can check behind his back.
The family that keeps the secret guards must be no simple person. Maybe they are related to Lu Yang. He needs to investigate it carefully.
Yan Cheng's expression looked better.
The middle-aged man asked, "What's your name, young master? It would be hard for me to repay you if I didn't know your lifesaver's name, would it?"
At this moment, Ding Shang really wanted to jump out and speak for Yan Cheng, saying that one should say one's own name before asking others' names, but looking at Leng Yan who was as still as a mountain, he just thought about it.
"Yan Cheng."
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he asked eagerly and enthusiastically, "Is your father Yan Guangyi?"
Yan Cheng turned around and exchanged glances with Leng Yan, then cautiously looked the man across from him up and down: "Do you know my father?"
I have never seen this person before. Could he be an old friend of my father?
"What a good nephew!" The middle-aged man's vigilance instantly disappeared. "Brother Yan mentioned my nephew in our previous correspondence. He said that my nephew would be going to Beijing soon. I didn't expect that we would meet here."
"We uncle and nephew are truly destined to be together!"
Yan Cheng/Leng Yan/Ding Shang: ???
What's going on, nephew?
People's thoughts change quickly. The middle-aged man thought that Yan Cheng didn't look like a child from a good family because he had so many secret guards with him, but when he found out that Yan Cheng was his friend's son, he felt that everything was excusable.
Yulin Prefecture is located in the southwest, and the people there are martial. Brother Yan is the prefect of Yulin Prefecture, so he must cultivate some capable people to protect himself and his family.
These secret guards were probably trained by Brother Yan. Brother Yan was worried that it would be unsafe for his nephew to travel alone, so he specially arranged these secret guards to protect his nephew.
The middle-aged man's attitude changed so much that Yan Cheng, who was caught off guard by his hand, felt a little uncomfortable. His palms were full of sweat and he felt so embarrassed that he was going to die.
He felt a chill behind him. It must be Leng Yan venting his anger. He remembered Leng Yan's attitude of treating outsiders as his own, and he would definitely be unhappy if he saw outsiders touching him.
Yan Cheng tried to use his eyes to persuade the middle-aged man to let go quickly. The scene of an old man holding a young boy's hand is not suitable for broadcast!
If he hadn't been concerned about people talking about his father's friend, he wouldn't want to make the situation too awkward. He really wanted to shake off the rough hand that was clasping his hand.
However, the middle-aged man seemed too excited and Yan Cheng could not understand his hints at all. He excitedly talked about not seeing his friend for many years and his joy of suddenly seeing his friend's son. Yan Cheng was almost crying.
Oh my god! He really doesn't like physical contact with people!
Especially when meeting someone for the first time.
Doesn’t this uncle have a sense of distance anymore?
"Sir, Young Master Yan doesn't seem to know who you are. Why don't you let him go first?"
Just when Yan Cheng was about to collapse and scream, Leng Yan was about to draw his sword and take office, and Ding Shang was about to be confused, someone finally rescued Yan Cheng. It was the master guard who was suspected to be Yan Guangyi's friend.
"Ah? Haven't I told you who I am yet?" The middle-aged man was confused and quickly introduced himself enthusiastically, "My dear nephew, I'm a friend of your father. Your father and I are of the same age..."
Then Yan Cheng knew who he was and why he appeared in the inn.
A few years ago, floods hit the south, and countless people were displaced. In order to survive, countless people became bandits, and then tasted the joy of being a bandit, and refused to be a good citizen again.
Luyang has poor soil and low grain production, and has never been a place valued by the imperial court. In addition, there are many mountains and forests, and it has gradually developed into a place where mountain bandits live.
At first, the Luyang bandits were weak and were ignored by the imperial court. Later, the bandits grew stronger and the people of Luyang fled. Only then did the imperial court send people to Luyang to suppress the bandits.
However, whether it is because the bandits are too powerful, the anti-bandit officials are too incompetent, or for other reasons, the progress of bandit suppression has been slow in recent years.
Such a group of bandits occupied Luyang, causing Luyang's tax revenue to decrease year by year. The emperor was embarrassed and sent two governors to Luyang in succession to urge the suppression of the bandits.
The first governor was quite serious. When he arrived in Luyang, he immediately urged the commander to suppress the bandits. However, things happened unexpectedly. There was a heavy rain, and the governor who personally went to the battlefield to suppress the bandits was buried in a mudslide.
