Chapter 132 Stealing Wind-Scorching Grass (Part 1)
Yan Lang's method was extremely thrilling and bizarre.
But Yun Chen still decided to give it a try.
Yan Lang said: "If you use this method, you will have to sacrifice half your life."
Yun Chen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of losing half of it. I can even sacrifice one. This is why I came to Dongyan!"
Yan Lang couldn't help but be curious, "How good is your master to you, that it's worth you risking your life like this?"
In an instant, Huo Gannian's deep phoenix eyes and handsome yet cold face appeared in Yun Chen's mind, immediately causing her heart to ache.
She tried hard not to think about it and focused all her attention on "stealing the wind-scorching grass".
After finalizing the plan, Yun Chen and Yan Lang said goodbye for a while.
She left Guangyulanzhou and entered the capital city of Chaohui, where the Dongyan Imperial Palace was located.
After waiting quietly in a remote hut in the city for half a month, she finally saw the Nine Dragons official flag of the Nan Kingdom fluttering in the wind and the honor guard marching into Zhaohui City in a mighty manner.
Emperor Dongyan's birthday is approaching, and Nanlijun specially sends Songlan to congratulate him and give him gifts.
Although Dongyan and Nan Kingdom were not on good terms, there had been no major wars over the years, and the country was considered peaceful.
Moreover, Princess Nanlijun has always been very close to Emperor Yan Chuo of Dongyan. It is said that Nanlijun has personally visited the royal capital several times and called Yan Chuo her uncle.
Therefore, Song Lan and his group stayed at the posthouse in the capital. They did not bring many guards with them and the security was not strict. Yun Chen took a little effort and sneaked into Song Lan's bedroom.
At that time, Song Lan had just changed into her pajamas and was about to go to sleep. When she turned around, she saw a living person suddenly appear in the room, which scared her so much that she almost screamed.
She was surprised and embarrassed, and quickly wrapped herself in her coat, muttering angrily:
"Why are you here? Breaking into a woman's bedroom at night, are you trying to harm me?!"
Yun Chen quickly bowed his head and apologized, saying in a gentle voice, "Please forgive me, sir. I had no choice but to come to visit you in the middle of the night. Please give me a hand!"
Song Lan put on her clothes and packed up, but she saw that Yun Chen kept his head down and did not show any disrespectful intentions.
Thinking that the man in front of him had an emotional entanglement with Huo Gannian and would not pose any threat to him, Song Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the hall and sat down, looking at Yun Chen carefully.
"Yun Chen, Yun Chen." Song Lan spoke meaningfully.
Yun Chen hurriedly knelt in the hall, waiting for Song Lan's next words.
Song Lan, however, felt a complicated and mixed feeling in her heart.
The person in front of him is Yun Chen, who has lost his youthfulness and has become more stable and handsome.
He was a personal guard of the Huo Gang who was remembered by Yu Yangji but was "expelled" from the Huo Gang.
It was the famous "Xuandu Guards" that had been hotly discussed in the capital of Nan Kingdom for quite some time.
She is also the one that the young master of the Huo Gang is willing to become a gay for, and the one that Huo Gannian cherishes in his heart.
It has been a year since we last met. No matter how turbulent the situation is in the capital of Rennan Kingdom and Yancheng, the eyes in front of me remain indifferent to it. They are still as clear as a newborn and clean without a trace of distracting thoughts.
But what Song Lan hated most was Yun Chen's eyes, which were free of evil thoughts.
In this dirty and calculating world, why is it that Yun Chen can move in the mud without stirring up any dust?
Suppressing her emotions, Song Lan asked slowly, "Tell me, do you have something to ask me?"
Yun Chen spoke frankly, "I want to enter the palace to steal the Wind-Scorching Grass to treat my young master's leg disease. I have been waiting here for half a month for your lordship's procession. I beg you to take me into the palace as your escort. Don't worry about anything else. I have a plan in place and will not implicate you!"
Song Lan sneered, "Your young master? Weren't you expelled from the Huo Gang?"
Yun Chen's face was momentarily depressed, but he immediately straightened his face and said firmly:
"Young Master has done me a great favor. I will repay you with swords and fire."
For Yun Chen, even if there was no romantic relationship between her and Huo Gannian, she was still grateful for his appreciation and care for her over the years.
Song Lan's mind flashed back to how Huo Gannian had looked over the past year:
He is gloomy and indifferent, and only seems like a living person when talking about official business. The rest of the time he is always silent, with a lifeless decadence in his bones.
People said that Huo Gannian was so depressed because the Huo Gang was defeated by the Yu family.
Song Lan knew very well that everything was just because of Yun Chen.
At the beginning, she and Huo Gannian were trapped on the gravel beach, and Huo Gannian frankly said that he loved Yun Chen.
Although Huo Gannian did not ask her to keep the secret, but as a noble person like her, Song Lan, when everyone could see that she was interested in Huo Gannian, how could she possibly let others know that she, the great Song Lan, had lost to a small guard.
In order to protect Yun Chen, Huo Gannian designed to expel Yun Chen from the Huo Gang. The commotion was so big, but it was only because Song Lan kept it a secret that Nan Lijun did not know about it in advance.
Afterwards, Huo Gannian thanked Song Lan, and she only said:
"No need. I just can't stand Yun Chen going to make merit again and gain the honor of being the 'Xuan Du Guard' peace envoy."
There was another thing that Song Lan didn't say, which was that according to Huo Gannian's temperament, one day he would disregard worldly taboos and make his affair with Yun Chen public.
The less famous Yun Chen is now, the less shame Song Lan will suffer in the future.
What's more, as a bystander, she clearly saw the affection between Huo Gannian and Yun Chen, which was just about to break the last layer of window paper.
She would be happy to see this "paper" turn into an insurmountable "mountain".
Retracting his thoughts once again, Song Lan said:
"I've heard of Wind-Scorching Grass, but it's just a legend. How can you be sure it really exists in the Dongyan Palace? Even if it does, it's a rare treasure. How could you just steal it?"
Yun Chen said sincerely, "Sir, please forgive me for not saying too much. The more I say, the more likely Dong Yan will investigate and investigate, which will be detrimental to you. To protect your reputation, please only bring me into the palace."
Song Lan became interested and raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Alright. Then let me see what extraordinary abilities you have!"
