Qi Yan and Tiewa have been traveling for more than a month, sleeping in the open air and traveling day and night.
I can't wait to go home.
Every mountain and every flower in his eyes seemed to transform into the appearance of Sheng Xiyan.
His wife's eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled, and she had a pair of charming dimples on her lips.
Every frown and smile is bright and charming.
Qi Yan seemed to see Sheng Xiyan waving and calling sweetly again: "Yan Lang!"
A sweet smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of his lips.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the hillside not far ahead.
Qi Yan stretched his neck and looked over there.
Under the dim sky, several strong men riding tall horses were surrounding a carriage and robbing it.
Qi Yan's eyes lit up as he encouraged her, "Tie Wa, now's a good time to test the results of your martial arts training!"
Tiewa was eager to try, and responded confidently: "Uncle, just wait and see!"
After saying this, he pulled out a sharp spear from behind his back and shouted, "Go!"
He squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly, driving the mount towards the hillside.
Qi Yan continued to move forward slowly and leisurely, thinking that he would let Tiewa deal with the seven or eight robbers first, just to give him a chance to practice his skills.
Tiewa held a spear and faced the ferocious robbers without fear.
The spear was in his hand, and the sword light was dazzling, stabbing at the robbers' vital parts, stabbing several robbers in succession.
Qi Yan nodded with satisfaction. This little apprentice was talented, able to endure hardships, and brave enough.
Your Majesty, I have found a good seedling for you. After training, he will surely become a powerful general.
“Help! Help!”
At this time, two short young men ran towards this side, followed by two burly men with big swords in their hands.
Seeing that he was about to be caught up, the big knife was about to chop down the taller young man.
"Ah! Help!"
Qi Yan leaped off his horse like lightning and spun in the air.
He drew out a soft sword from his waist and swung it up and down like a silver snake, dazzling the eyes.
In a moment, the two robbers fell off their horses before they could see clearly.
Each of them had several sword and knife wounds on their bodies and bloodstains on their faces. It seemed that they had met a master.
He knelt down hurriedly and said, "Please spare us, hero! We were wrong and we won't do it again!"
Qi Yan said sternly, "Leave your belongings behind and get out now."
Several robbers abandoned their belongings and fled.
Qi Yan put the soft sword back.
The young man in the lead had been staring at him for a long time. He had a pretty face and a gentle appearance.
When she opened her mouth, she spoke clearly and gracefully.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. May I ask what weapon you used just now?"
"Soft sword."
The young master smiled sweetly and said, "Just now, when the hero swung his soft sword, it was like stars falling from the sky, so dazzling and breathtaking."
Qi Yan said, "Pack up and leave this place quickly. It's even more unsafe after dark."
He said he would take Tiewa and drive the horse away.
The young man stopped his horse and pleaded:
"Sir, please stay. Could you please escort us to the city?"
Qi Yan looked at the dark sky and felt pity.
"Let's go together."
"Thanks!"
The accompanying servants had already picked up the things, and the young master got on the carriage with his servant.
Qi Yan and Tiewa followed behind the carriage.
"Uncle, how was my performance just now?" Tiewa asked with a smile.
"Very good, better than what I taught!"
Tiewa smiled innocently and said, "Uncle, I will work hard to become as great as you."
Although he didn't know his uncle's identity, he could feel that his uncle was an extraordinary person and was full of admiration and respect for him.
"Learn your skills well. Later, I will hand you over to the wisest person in the world."
"Who is that?"
Who was that? That was his master, the emperor he swore to follow until his death.
Apart from Sheng Xiyan, Qi Yan missed Xuan Ling the most. These two were the most important people in his life.
Qi Yan patted his head and said, "Don't ask anymore. You still need to study more, okay?"
In the carriage, the pretty young man gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked back with his beautiful eyes.
The servant boy covered his mouth with his hands and smiled and asked, "Miss, are you looking at that majestic hero?"
Upon hearing this, the young man's cheeks flushed instantly and he said shyly:
"Yes, that man is truly majestic and handsome."
"Miss, he has a delicate mustache. Maybe he's already married and has a career! But he doesn't look very old. He looks quite young."
There was a gleam of admiration in the young man's eyes.
"So what if he has a beard? I actually think it makes him look more manly and powerful."
The servant covered his mouth and chuckled, "Miss, you are praising him so much, could it be that you have fallen in love with this hero?"
Suddenly he remembered something and reminded:
"Miss, don't forget, you will be entering the palace soon. You must not develop feelings for other men!"
It turned out that this pretty young man was the daughter of a prominent family, the Cui family, and her name was Cui Nianmi.
This trip was from my grandfather's mansion in Lingnan back to the capital.
Cui Nianmi retorted with arrogance:
"What good is there in entering the palace? You're stuck in that red-walled courtyard all day, and you have to compete with so many women for the same man.
This kind of life is not what I want!
What I hope for is to be able to spend my life hand in hand with the one I love, together for the rest of my life."
The maid Lingdang said, "Miss, you'd better wake up. The master and the old man will not agree."
