Chapter 178 Be My Guardian
The Huo Gang is going back to Yancheng.
For the people of the Huo Gang, Guying City is not an auspicious place, and they want to leave as quickly as possible.
In less than a day, all the travel arrangements had been made.
Out of Yun Chen's consideration, Yan Shijiu allocated all the travel supplies free of charge from his grain warehouse.
The only condition is to say goodbye to Yun Chen properly.
The kind where you can eat and chat at the same time.
After that, we had to go alone to play at White Bird Lake, which was more than 80 miles away from the camp.
So, Ye Yan and Buyan were ready to go, the horses were harnessed, and Huo Luyu was stuffed into the carriage by Hua Jue, but they all stopped and waited for Yun Chen.
After all, everything was obtained by Yun Chen's "face-saving", and no one dared to complain.
However, Huo Gannian's entire body was emitting the chill of the nine coldest days of winter. From his head to his face, from his heart to his heels, everything was as cold as ice. It was completely unlike him being in the same season as the people around him. Seeing this, Tulangju sighed heavily.
On the other side, Yan Shijiu and Yun Chen were racing their horses, chasing each other all the way, as if they were participating in a horse riding competition, neither of them giving in, and they ran to a beautiful valley.
The two stopped panting.
Yun Chen gasped and asked:
"This... is this the farewell you said you would give me? Is it... necessary to send it off so violently?"
Yan Shijiu leaned against the horse and panted, grinning evilly:
"I just like... intense things, with you, the more intense the better..."
Yun Chen said nothing and whipped him with a horsewhip.
Fortunately, Yan Shijiu dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been hit on the mouth.
He raised his hand, grabbed the flying whip, and pulled her into the valley.
Surrounded by three mountains, there is a green lake like a gem. The summer breeze makes the lake cool and comfortable.
The two men walked to the lakeside, Yan Shijiu jumped into the shallow water, and dragged a small boat out of the bushes.
As soon as he saw the small boat, Yun Chen immediately waved his hands three times:
"No, no, no! There's no need to take a boat! This farewell is enough! There's no need to send me to see the King of Hell!"
Yan Shijiu laughed out loud, knowing that this ship obviously brought back some unpleasant memories for Yun Chen.
"This is a lake, there's no wind or waves, don't worry!"
Seeing Yan Shijiu patting his chest and making promises again, Yun Chen felt even more nervous.
Looking at the lake again, it is still shallow near the shore, but becomes dark green as you go deeper, so it must be very deep.
Although Yun Chen is an expert in diving and holding his breath, he is not a turtle after all, and he is afraid of this green water.
Yan Shijiu had one foot on the boat and the other foot in the water. The hem of his robe, trousers and boots were all wet.
He didn't care at all and extended his hand to Yun Chen as an invitation:
"Trust me, nothing will happen as long as I'm here."
After hesitating for a moment, he looked up and said, "God bless you." Yun Chen held his hand and jumped onto the boat without getting his clothes wet.
"This is the first time I hold your hand." Yan Shijiu suddenly said softly, his tone even a little melancholy.
Yun Chen rolled his eyes, sat down in the boat, half lying and half leaning against the side of the boat, looking completely defenseless against him, and said:
"And 'Break Your Head for the First Time', do you want to try it?"
Yan Shijiu laughed twice and started rowing.
Yun Chen also laughed, "You bastard, I can't stand it if I don't get filthy for a day!"
Yan Shijiu shook his head proudly, "Of course, I can't live without you for a day." Then he said seriously:
"Xiao Yunyun, will you be my bodyguard, Yan Shijiu?"
Yun Chen lay on the boat basking in the sun, his eyes narrowed in comfort, like a lazy white cat, and said slowly:
"I treat you as a brother, but you want to kill me? I followed you to fight the Black Scale Cavalry. Do you wish I would die sooner?"
Yan Shijiu said with a playful smile, "I'll just ask you to be my personal bodyguard. You won't go to the battlefield or use a sword. You just need to eat and drink with me every day. If you like, I'll even sleep with you."
Yun Chen clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Wan Chen and the others work so hard every day? Being your Yan Shijiu's bodyguard is too demanding. I can't do it."
"But being a guard for the Huo Gang is also very hard. If I hadn't brought so much Qinju Yuyanzhi this time, you would have had big scars on your body."
"So, didn't I already say 'thank you'? What? You still want to settle accounts with my brother?"
"Of course it should be counted. Why not?"
"Okay, okay, okay. Anyway, I'm not afraid of being bitten by lice, and I don't worry about being in debt. Go ahead and settle the accounts. I'll pay you everything I owe you."
"You don't have to count it. You don't have to keep a record. Husband and wife don't have to calculate it so clearly."
"You want to commit incest with me?"
"Are you sick?! How can we be related by blood?!"
"Aren't we brothers?"
"Yun Chen! You are a woman!!"
"You're mistaken. I'm a man."
"I'm talking to you seriously! Why on earth do you insist on staying in the Huo Gang?"
"Because I like Huo Gannian!"
It was clearly a joke, and they were just happily bickering as usual.
But as Yun Chen's last words came out, Yan Shijiu's face changed instantly, his mouth was pursed into a line, and there was no trace of smile anymore.
Yun Chen also sat up suddenly, looking at Yan Shijiu with a somewhat nervous expression, and spoke tentatively:
"Looking at your reaction, you might... like my young master too, right?"
Yan Shijiu was choked so much that his eyes rolled back and he almost fell into the lake, but seeing her serious expression as she told the joke, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Like? If I didn't want him to die at the hands of the Black Scale Cavalry, I wouldn't have come to Guying City! I'm exhausted! Sooner or later, I'll kill him at my hands!"
Yun Chen's face darkened, "Yan Shijiu, you better be kidding!"
Feeling the instant alertness and vigilance from Yun Chen, Yan Shijiu really wanted to rush back to the camp and kill Huo Gannian right now.
But he still showed a nonchalant expression and said disdainfully:
"What are you thinking about? The second 'he' I'm talking about is General Jiao Zuotai, the leader of the Black Scale Cavalry! That fellow leads the Black Scale Cavalry with such ruthlessness and ferocity, I'll kill him sooner or later!"
Yun Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Shijiu saw all of this and was so angry that he threw away the oars and lay straight on the boat with a broken jar-like look, shouting:
"You think I want to kill Huo Gannian? You doubt me? Fine, whoever wants to draw can draw, I've thrown all my sincerity and youth into the wind. I won't serve you anymore!"
Knowing that he was too sensitive and had wrongly blamed Yan Shijiu, Yun Chen felt a little embarrassed and could only put on a flattering smile, took the oar and paddled hard:
"I'll do it, sir, just take a rest!"
After just two strokes, Yan Shijiu got up again and grabbed the oar, saying unhappily:
"Your arm isn't healed yet! Stay away!"
As he said this, he angrily took the oar and rowed the boat, splashing water everywhere, all of which splashed on Yun Chen's face.
Yun Chen slowly wiped the water off his face and said softly:
"Stop filming, the water is so salty..."
Yan Shijiu finally broke his icy expression and laughed out loud without any manner.
Yun Chen sighed and lay back down.
"Yun Chen, be my bodyguard." Yan Shijiu said again.
