Chapter 144 The One
"Are they done yet?"
"They are done now!"
Yun Chen and Huo Gannian walked out of the slope and went to get their horses in silence.
Ye Yan came back from exploring the way, and didn't know what had happened to the two men and two horses. He only saw clearly in the moonlight that Huo Gannian's expression had improved slightly.
Yun Chen's upper face looked normal, but the lower half was red. From the place where his face was disguised, it was clearly divided into half red and half white.
Ye Yan suppressed his laughter, Yun Chen suppressed his embarrassment, and Huo Gannian endured his impatience.
The three of them "each had their own ulterior motives" and returned to the inn.
Because the horses in Danyang City were all infected with "horse plague", many guests were stranded in the city, so all the inns were overcrowded. After searching everywhere, I found only one inn with a room available.
And it’s the last one.
The waiter looked at Yun Chen, Huo Gannian and Ye Yan and said:
"How about the three of you all squeeze into one bed?"
Yun Chen resolutely refused, and Ye Yan pretended to persuade him:
"My dear Prince Wang, it's freezing outside and there's nowhere to stay. Why don't you squeeze in with us? I'm thin, so I'll sleep in the middle, okay?"
Yun Chen shook his head like a rattle and slapped down two coins with great determination:
"Just pack up and go to bed. I'll sleep in the stable!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving Huo Gannian and Ye Yan hanging there.
She chose a cleaner stable that had not been used for vomiting and diarrhea, skillfully stacked the hay next to the two "slow-moving horses", spread out the bedding, and lay down comfortably.
The stable was very quiet at night, with only the slight sound of wind, the sounds of slow walkers chewing grass, and the occasional sound of horses' hooves.
She lay on the haystack and stretched out her body.
When a person calms down, his mind becomes confused.
It was such a determined journey of seeking and repaying gratitude, and such open and honest love and dedication.
I don't know where it started, but suddenly everything changed.
"When did it start?" She couldn't help but mutter out loud what was in her mind.
Huo Gannian's voice suddenly joined in: "Brother Wang, are you missing your beloved?"
She was startled and almost jumped up from the haystack, "Mr. Huo, what are you doing here?"
Huo Gannian said seriously, "Take a walk."
She looked around suspiciously. There was nothing around except the haystacks in the stable and horse manure and urine. She didn't think Huo Gannian had the leisure to come here for a walk.
Just standing there in his brocade clothes, he looked out of place with his surroundings.
She sighed softly, "Mr. Huo, just tell me what you want from me."
He lied quickly in his mind, lifted his robe, sat beside her, and said:
"My dear brother, you are very intelligent. I am going to Youzhou to conduct an important matter. Because it is confidential, I am only traveling with one guard. After some consideration, I found that I need help to keep watch. After spending the past few days with you, I feel that you are very reliable, so I would like to ask for your help."
After all this time, it turned out to be this. She felt both comforted and inexplicably lost.
After thinking for a moment, she whispered:
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Why?"
"Mr. Huo and I...are not on the same path."
Huo Gannian raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by 'different paths'?"
Somehow, Yun Chen suddenly became angry at his persistent questioning and said in a bad tone:
"'Different paths' mean you're walking the Yangguan Road, and I'm walking the single-plank bridge! You're in the mountains, I'm in the water; you're in the sky, I'm on the ground! Just like that, different paths!"
Huo Gannian blinked his eyes and said seriously, "Since ancient times, those who rely on mountains need to be close to water, and those who reach the sky need to stand on the earth. These 'mountains and water', 'heaven and earth', are precisely the most inseparable."
Yun Chen was choked and unable to speak. He could only take deep breaths and calm himself down.
Unexpectedly, Huo Gannian said again: "Brother Wang, your words don't seem to be rejecting me, but rather rejecting my beloved."
Yun Chen's expression froze. He was thinking about how to resolve the awkward situation, but the two slow-moving horses suddenly became...sexually aroused.
In front of the two men, the stallion walked around the mare twice, then jumped up and rode on her again.
On a quiet night, the iron pestle began to pound the wet clothes again.
As expected, only greater embarrassment could resolve the embarrassment. The two of them didn't bother to talk at all and quickly got up and walked out.
However, the stable was small, and the two slow-moving horses were so engrossed in it that they didn't know what was going on. They kept spinning around and around, blocking the way out for a long time. All they could see was a Dinghai Shenzhu swaying before their eyes, making them blush with embarrassment.
"Hey hey hey watch out for horse hooves!"
"Give me a hand!"
"Be careful with your head down!"
"Oh my God, please help me!"
"Close your eyes!"
"Spring has arrived, and it is indeed the season when all things come back to life..."
"The instinct of all living things to reproduce is understandable..."
When the two men escaped from the stable, they were covered in dust and straw.
Huo Gannian said with a wicked smile: "Are you still sleeping in the stable?"
Yun Chen slapped his clothes vigorously and said angrily, "I'm not going to sleep anymore! Let them sleep!"
The two slow-moving horses had obviously entered the estrus period and were unable to walk normally. Now Huo Gannian and Ye Yan had no horses to ride.
Just when the whole city was in a state of panic and people were eager to offer their horses as sacrifices, a group of people from Luojiang rushed into Danyang City.
The Naluojiang Kingdom was a nomadic tribe in the bitter cold of the northwest. It was said that their warriors were eight feet tall, as strong as a mountain, and so powerful that they could kill a cow with just three or two punches.
This time, people from Luojiang came to Danyang City loaded with all kinds of goods. In order to sell the goods, they set up a fighting arena in the largest square in the city.
It immediately attracted the attention of all men, women, young and old in the city, and the goods were quickly sold out.
However, the man from Luojiang was not in a hurry to leave after selling all his goods. He still set up the arena, as if he had made a lot of money and was a little too proud of himself.
It was said that there was no expert in the Kingdom of Nan who could withstand a blow, and they even set a prize worth a hundred gold coins, saying that no one could win.
This incident attracted a large number of people, all waiting to see who would win the prize and teach the people of Luojiang a lesson.
Yun Chen was not interested in any of this. He sat alone in the empty lobby of the inn and concentrated on making breakfast.
The innkeeper asked, "Master Wang, why don't you go watch the martial arts competition? All the guests at the inn are there, and they say it's really lively."
She said, "I'm not interested. Your salty porridge is delicious. Give me another bowl."
Although Yun Chen was obviously more interested in eating, the shopkeeper still opened up the conversation and said:
"I heard that the Luojiang warrior is incredibly powerful and has never lost a fight. Those with average skills can be beaten half to pieces, and those with slightly better skills can't even hurt the Luojiang warrior. Oh, by the way, the two young masters who were traveling with you have already left, and I heard that Young Master Huo is going to take the field!"
