Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Chapter 180
Xiao Bojian looked at Qianshan Lake that was shrouded in darkness, but his eyes were dark.
"Is there any news?" Because of the cold, his voice was low and hoarse.
Wei Jia had no choice but to accompany him on the cold wind ravaging the city tower.
"Master, we just received news that Jinyi Xiangjun is fine, but his ankle is injured. By the time we receive the news, he will have recovered.
He should be in Liangzhou City by now. "
Xiao Bojian's cold face finally softened a bit, but his face was still cold. Coupled with his overly beautiful facial features, it made people feel intimidated.
"Pass down the order. No matter what the Northern Border Army does, we must protect Lian 'er."
Wei Jia looked embarrassed. His mouth opened and closed, but in the end, he swallowed his words of dissuasion and only said "Yes."
Xiao Bojian put one hand on his lips to cover the sound of his coughing. His other hand reached to his waist and touched the Wan Fu Jade Pendant that Chu Lian "gave" him.
The Wan Fu Jade Pendant glowed softly under the dim light. It was obviously often held in the hands of people.
Xiao Bojian smiled coldly. He Changdi was probably done for this time. One day, Chu Lian would be his. If he wanted to have his woman, he would have to leave his life behind!
The two old enemies didn't know that in the near future, they would face each other in the ancient city of Su Cheng.
Early that morning, the soldiers standing on the city tower suddenly saw a group of people appear on the frozen Qianshan Lake.
Everyone was frightened and quickly sent out scouts to investigate and immediately reported the situation to their superiors.
Half a day later, He Changdi and his group were invited to the army camp in Su Cheng.
At this time, the Northwest Army and the 20,000 Xiang Army were stationed in Su Cheng after the discussion of the six ministries.
The commander was the Northwest Army's General Yuan Zhong. Yuan Zhong was originally a subordinate of the Duke of Lu, General Qian. At this time, He Changdi came to ask for help. Judging from this relationship, it would be beneficial for the Northern Border Army.
The Northwest Army's camp in Su Cheng had sturdy tents. When He Sanlang arrived, it was meal time. He Changdi's subordinates saw that the Northwest Army actually had food to eat. All of them widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva.
The Latest Update
Although they were envious of the Northwestern Army, the soldiers were also very happy.
Since the Northwestern Army has food to eat, it means that the Northwestern Army is not short of food. This way, their journey will be much smoother.
A junior general of the Northwest Army brought He Changdi to a tent.
This tent is obviously more luxurious than the other tents; it's probably the Northwestern Army's commander's tent.
He Changdi, Xiao Hongyu, and Zhang Mai were waiting outside the tent. The three of them had used Lu Zhou to travel for five to six days before finally arriving at Su City. Now, they were in a sorry state. Even Zhang Mai, who usually paid attention to his appearance, had a face full of stubble. There were even patches of black ash on his face, and his hands and feet were frostbitten from being exposed to ice and snow.
A quarter of an hour later, He Changdi and the others were led in.
Yuan Zhong led several generals of the Northwestern Army to receive He Sanlang's group.
As soon as He Changdi entered the tent, he immediately saluted the Northwestern Army's General Yuan Zhong.
When Yuan Zhong saw the three of them kneeling on the ground with their backs ramrod straight, he paused for a moment before laughing heartily. Then, he personally helped the three of them up.
"I didn't expect General Qian to send three such young generals, the younger generation will surpass the older!"
Xiao Bojian, who was sitting next to Yuan Zhong, suddenly looked at the young man in the middle of the tent.
His hand holding the teacup instantly clenched. He Changdi!
He actually came!
Enemies really don't meet unless they're enemies!
He Changdi's five senses were very sensitive. He immediately felt a cold gaze. He looked up and saw Xiao Bojian sitting at the head of the table. His thin lips slightly pursed.
In an instant, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the tent seemed to burst into sparks.
Yuan Zhong also noticed that the atmosphere was strange. He looked at the two strangely. "Do you two know each other?"
The two coldly replied at the same time. "No!"
Yuan Zhong coughed twice and swallowed the words "Is there a grudge between us?" back down his throat.
The latest update
If He Sanlang heard this sentence, he would definitely reply with, "The revenge of destroying my family and stealing my wife."
Thus, the conversation in the tent continued in this strange atmosphere.
Yuan Zhong arranged accommodation for He Changdi's group in the Northwest Army camp. As for the food and fodder, they were responsible for preparing.
Yuan Zhong asked He Changdi's group to have a meal. After the meal, Yuan Zhong actually asked Xiao Bojian to send He Changdi out of the commander's tent.
Outside the tent, the two men who didn't see eye to eye with each other looked like they were frozen in ice.
Xiao Bojian coldly said, "Go, I won't send you off!"
He Changdi didn't have any interest in talking to him. He was about to turn around and leave when his eyes suddenly swept over Xiao Bojian.
All of a sudden, something caught his attention.
Hanging from the waist of Xiao Bojian's brown robe was a snow-white warm jade. He Changdi couldn't be more familiar with the pattern on the warm jade.
It was the jade pendant his grandmother gave to Chu Lian when they were just married. It was something his grandfather often wore when he was still alive.
How could this jade pendant be on Xiao Bojian's waist!
He Sanlang's eyes instantly darkened. His hands that were hanging by his side clenched tightly as if he wanted to crush his fists.
However, He Changdi still had a trace of rationality. He didn't immediately grab Xiao Bojian's collar and question him angrily.
But He Changdi's sudden change in emotions was enough for Xiao Bojian to sense that something was wrong.
Xiao Bojian saw that He Changdi's expression instantly became one of forbearance. He looked at He Changdi with a half-smile. "What?
Is He Sanlang not feeling well?
Do you want me to send a military doctor to take a look at you? "
As Xiao Bojian spoke, he couldn't help but touch the warm jade on his waist.
He Sanlang's face darkened. He turned and left the commander's tent.
Xiao Bojian stared at He Changdi's hurried back. He didn't know why, but he suddenly laughed out loud.
Wei Jia, who was following behind him, had goosebumps all over his body. Every time his master laughed, something bad always happened.
Xiao Bojian turned and played with the warm jade as he said, "Let's return to the tent first. Looks like this situation is getting more and more interesting."
Chu Lian's anger at leaving without a word to rush to the north seemed to be instantly comforted by He Changdi's ashen face. Xiao Bojian naturally knew why He Changdi was unhappy.
Although he didn't know the origin of this jade pendant, it must not be ordinary if it could make He Changdi's face turn dark.
Since Lian 'er was willing to give this jade pendant to him, it meant that he was still in Lian' er's heart. He, He Sanlang, was probably nothing.
On the way back to the tent, Xiao Bojian's face, which was more delicate than a woman's, was filled with a sinister expression. "Wei Jia, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?
The snow has clearly sealed off the mountains for many days, and the snow is knee-deep. How did they rush to Su City with a carriage to ask for help? "
Ever since Xiao Bojian had graduated from high school, Wei Jia had been even more careful with his unpredictable master.
He answered, "He Sanlang's team didn't use a carriage. They used a vehicle called a Luzhou. It's said that it can fly over the snowy plains and isn't any slower than a carriage."
"What?!" Xiao Bojian was instantly bewildered. How come he had never heard of such a thing?!
"This is all I've found. The Luzhou they rode on has been strictly guarded by He Sanlang. Even our people can't come into contact with it in the short term." Wei Jia lowered his head and added.
"Continue investigating!" Xiao Bojian's voice became hoarse from displeasure.
He Changdi couldn't have had such a powerful weapon for a long time. Otherwise, the Northern Border Army wouldn't have dragged on until today!
There must be someone helping them in the dark.
Xiao Bojian clenched his fists tightly. His previous plan had been completely disrupted by He Changdi's sudden arrival with his team.
He Changdi and the others were brought to the tent that was arranged for them.
Along the way, Xiao Hongyu and Zhang Mai both sensed that He Changdi was in a bad mood.
Zhang Mai knew that He Sanlang was a taciturn person. Even if he had something on his mind, he would only keep it to himself and never reveal it to anyone.
He patted He Changdi's shoulder. "You've traveled for so long. Take a hot bath and rest. No matter what, you'll probably get over it after a good night's sleep."
With that, he pulled Xiao Hongyu out of the tent.
As soon as Zhang Mai and Xiao Hongyu left, He Changdi couldn't hold back his feelings anymore and flipped over the small table beside him.
He was feeling very conflicted.
He had just confirmed his feelings, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye!
What was this vicious Chu Lian trying to do?!
He had just believed her when he saw his grandfather's jade pendant on Xiao Bojian!
He Sanlang was in extreme pain. He didn't know how to face his feelings for Chu Lian right now. How could he pretend to ignore it?
Right now, he wished he could fly back to Chu Lian's side and interrogate that vicious woman to her face.
With a few muffled sounds, the small table fell to the ground, and the teacup on it shattered.
Perhaps it was the ear-piercing sound that calmed He Changdi's surging emotions a little. He laid down on the bed in exhaustion and covered his deep eyes with one arm. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his mind kept replaying the scenes from his past life. At this moment, He Changdi seemed very confused.
Two days later, Xiao Bojian finally received news from Lu Zhou.
Wei Jia placed a small iron pipe in Xiao Bojian's hands. "Master, this is from the people lurking in the north."
Xiao Bojian gently pressed the mechanism, and the small iron pipe popped open. There was a small piece of paper inside. There was only one line of small words, but it was enough to make Xiao Bojian tremble.
Lian 'er!
It really was Lian 'er. He knew it. How could the people in the north think of such a novel idea? Only his Lian' er could think of such a novel idea!
Xiao Bojian trembled with excitement. He wanted nothing more than to be in front of Chu Lian right now. He wanted to trap her in his arms and kiss her petal-like cherry lips.
However, before he could finish his excitement, his body started to feel cold all over.
He suddenly realized that this magical Lu Zhou wasn't created by Chu Lian for him, but for He Changdi!
He clenched his fists unwillingly. Because of his fluctuating emotions, he started coughing violently.
