Chapter 85 Can You Trust Me?
Originally, they only found a young woman who was wearing armor. The long sword in her hand seemed to have a chip on it due to fighting on the battlefield.
The woman was dying, and not far behind her, there was a more bloody person.
His whole body was covered in blood and flesh, with not a single piece of good flesh left.
She didn't expect that the man was the general who guarded Yin Kingdom when the southern barbarians invaded, nor did she expect that the man was Xie Chengyan.
"But wasn't it the late emperor who defended the city back then?"
Under the moonlight, Ye Lanzhou's voice was clear and bright. A cold wind blew by, chilling people's hearts.
Xie Chengyan said nothing, only giving Ye Lanzhou a quiet glance. She immediately understood. Imperial family matters were sometimes unclear. They said the one left behind was the late emperor, but who could really say? The generals defending the city were on the front lines. How many had seen them? Even if they had, how many would dare expose the brothers?
When the Ye family moved north, Ye Lanzhou and Qin stayed in Nanyang. If it were not for the city defense army at that time, the mother and daughter would have been captured by the barbarians. However, they did not expect that they accidentally saved the life of the defending general.
I never thought that after so many years, I had recognized the wrong benefactor.
She had always thought Xie Chengyan was as violent and cruel as people said he was... The female commander who had also been rescued also appeared in her mind. Her face overlapped with the woman she had encountered at Wanhe Tower a few days ago. Suddenly, she understood why the woman had been staring at her. But she was clearly followed by two barbarian-looking people. She couldn't figure it out, so she spoke cautiously and asked, "What about the woman who was recuperating with you at that time? Was she with the barbarians?"
"Yes, she is now working for the barbarians." Xie Chengyan didn't say anything else. Ye Lanzhou didn't know the reason, but seeing that he didn't say anything, she didn't dare to ask any more. She kept silent. Unexpectedly, Xie Chengyan spoke again and said, "You know too much--"
Ye Lanzhou was shocked. Saying this usually didn't have any good results. In a storybook, if a villain said this, anyone who heard it would go to see the King of Hell.
But this was not a storybook, and she would not be as stupid as the people in the storybooks, who would just listen stupidly when others said this.
She could still vividly remember the last time Xie Chengyan suddenly went crazy and grabbed her neck like crazy. At that time, she was too panicked, and the hidden silver needle failed to hurt his acupoint, which only made him loosen his grip due to the pain.
This time she grabbed the silver needle in her sleeve early. There were many acupuncture points on everyone's hands, and it was impossible for Xie Chengyan to avoid them all.
Her heart was in her throat, but Xie Chengyan unexpectedly said calmly, "So you can trust me now?"
"I'm not a kind person, but I will repay a favor. You and your mother saved my life, but I haven't repaid you. Your mother passed away after saving me. All I can do is protect you and help you kill your enemies."
The moonlight shone on Xie Chengyan. His eyes were narrow and long, and he always looked downcast.
According to Chinese physiognomy, "Eyes are narrow and long, like cold ponds, with stars hidden in their eyelashes. Such people are cunning and calculating, but are often trapped in the webs they weave. Their wisdom is always hurt, and they are often broken by the sharp edge of a sword."
Simply put, this kind of person will eventually die at their own hands. But what exactly happened to Xie Chengyan? Ye Lanzhou had only learned the basics from the old Nanyang temple priest, and the rest was unknown.
