Volume 1 Chapter 89 The Young General

  As soon as Wang Shang's voice fell, the speed of that group of people had obviously slowed down. Seeing them jump onto horseback and walk towards this side with big strides, everyone looked at each other in dismay, then Chen Gong, Wang Shang, Wen Qing and others stood up.

  Before long, the group appeared in their line of sight. These people were all fully armed and every step they took was filled with murderous intent. Seeing them approach, the young men involuntarily retreated a step back.

  The group of people was getting closer and closer, with a young man walking in the front. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and under the pressure of the flames, the silver armor on his body shone with a severe and crystal beauty. With his face, for an instant, a group of pampered and arrogant young men and women suddenly felt an indescribable palpitation.

  Lu Xuan only glanced at him, and found that all the girls couldn't help but turn towards the young man.

  This young man was born very beautifully, he had a tall and straight figure, his eyebrows were raised, his nose was straight, his thin lips were like a knife cut, a pair of eyes were sharp and cold, when looking at people gave a great sense of oppression. At first glance, it could be seen that he was a person with an extremely good family background, who was used to being in a high position.

  Although the young men present were only one or two years younger than him, this young general had somehow managed to suppress everyone. He made people involuntarily lower their heads and wait for him to speak.

  The young general glanced around at the crowd, nodded slightly, and said coldly, "Traveling outside is often inconvenient, I'll disturb you all tonight." With that, he waved his hand.

  As he gestured with his hand, the knights dispersed and before long, they set up their camp just a hundred paces away from the crowd.

  When camping, all around is still quiet.

  The young general looked at everyone one by one and then turned around and left.

  He left. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Mr. Chen asked in a low voice, "Wang Jialang, do you know who this person is?"

  Wang Shang shook his head and replied in a low voice: "I don't know, but judging from the situation, it should be a big deal."

  "With your family's influence in Luoyang, who knows what kind of person he is?"

  Wang Shang smiled wryly and said, "I'm not Yin Zhen, how can I recognize all of you princes?"

  This makes sense, and the crowd began to whisper to each other. As they spoke, Wen Qing furrowed his brow and muttered a sentence. His voice was not loud, but Chen Shu, who stood beside him, heard it clearly. At this moment, Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, and when he looked at the young general, his eyes flashed with sharp light.

  At this time, Atai suddenly said: "His identity shouldn't be hard to find out. He's so handsome and young, yet he's already a general. There can't be many in Luoyang."

  As soon as these words came out, Chen Shu's eyes became even brighter.

  As the crowd was discussing, Lu Xuan walked to a fire pit on one side, stretched out his hand to warm it up, and thought with his eyes downcast: With the strength of these knights, they can completely camp alone, why do they want to partner with us?

  Looking back, Lu Xuan thought again: They are too close to us. To outsiders, they are almost a group.

  She quickened her pace, seemingly wandering aimlessly between the tents and the steeds.

  Just after a while, a footstep came, and then a cold voice asked: "What are you looking at?"

  The voice was cold and pleasant to hear, it was the young general's voice.

  Lu Ying was startled and turned around. Under the faint moonlight, the young man's eyes, hidden under his helmet, were sharply staring at her.

  Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance back at him. Not far away, there were bonfires everywhere, and the crowd of people chatting and laughing didn't notice this corner at all.

  As he is, whatever he says can summon himself. Alright, he doesn't want to disturb others.

  Lu Xuan bowed slightly and said in a soft voice, "It's nothing, I'm just bored with nothing to do."

  As soon as her voice fell, the young general raised his eyes and stared at her for a moment, looking straight at her beautiful face. The young man said: "I heard those people say that your eyesight is very good, and you even helped them block the mountain bandits' attack yesterday. If there's anything to see, just tell me."

  Having said that, he walked away with big strides.

  As the young general left, the clanging sound of his armor made Lu Xuan look up at the bonfire and suddenly understand. It was probably someone who saw her moving again and mentioned last night's events, which were then overheard by the young general.

  But hearing him say it so seriously, could something really happen?

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan calmed down and quietly walked around the surroundings.

  When Lu Xuan returned, Chen's family and others were already gathered beside a large mound with Wang Shang, including Chen Yan, who sat in one corner.

  Although she was sitting in a corner, her position was cleverly chosen so that the firelight shone on her face and body, making it possible for people on the left side to see her beautiful features clearly.

  Looking at the bright flames, Chen Yan's beautiful eyebrows and eyes were filled with an unspoken sense of grievance and fragility, Lu Xuan's eyebrows twitched.

  She slightly tilted her head towards the direction where the young general was, and it just so happened that Chen Yan's beauty fell within her line of sight. At this moment, she curved her lips into a smile.

  As Lu Xuan approached, several young men simultaneously looked up, but unlike Mo Yuan and others, Chen Shu's eyes had a complex and inexplicable vigilance.

  It seems he doesn't want to get close to himself.

  It's also normal for Chen Yan and herself to be on guard against each other and not want to get close to each other.

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan stopped and turned towards another small fire heap.

  After laughing and chatting for a while, Chen Shu got up, carrying the wine jug towards the young general.

  And from start to finish, Chen Yan sat in that corner, letting the burning flames shine on her face, forcing her beautiful face to be red and swollen.

  Under the moonlight, Chen Shu had only chatted for a few sentences before he returned with a huff, looking at the icy expression of the young general reflected in the firelight. Everyone suddenly understood: this person did not leave any face for Chen Shu.

  When Chen Shu sat back down beside the bonfire, Lu Xuan noticed that Chen Yan's face had darkened.

  Lu Xuan withdrew her gaze.

  Lu Xuan thought for a moment and then stood up again, walking outwards.

  Seeing her move, Atai called out: "Aruo, are you going to check again? With so many of us, it's unlikely that thieves will come."

  Ati's voice was loud and clear, causing everyone to turn their heads towards Lu Yue at the same time.

  Suddenly facing so many people's gaze, Lu Yue smiled and could only turn around and return to the bonfire.

  But just as she sat down, a knight came walking in big strides. Seeing the knight approach, Chen Yan's eyes grew brighter and brighter...

  Before long, the knight arrived at Luoyue's side. He bowed his fist and said, "Sir, my general has something to ask you."

  He actually called her over in front of so many people.

  Lu Yu furrowed her brow, but before she could respond, the knight turned and left.

  Lu Xuan thought for a moment, and then stepped up to follow. At this time, she didn't notice Chen Yan sitting in the corner, trying her best to show off her most beautiful side, with a flash of resentment in her eyes.

  Before long, Lu Xuan arrived in front of the young general.

  The young man picked up the wine jug and personally poured her a cup of wine, saying warmly: "Sit down."

  Lu Xuan didn't sit down, she lightly sighed and said: "General, although I'm wearing men's clothes, I am a maiden..."

  Before she could finish speaking, the young general's expression suddenly turned cold and he shouted: "Sit down!"

  Having no other choice, Lu Xuan could only sit down.

  "Cheers!"

  The young man ordered again.

  Lu Yu picked up his wine cup.

  The young man ordered: "Speak."

  "What did you say?"

  The young man looked up at her and said impatiently, "Of course I'm talking about your thoughts. You've been thinking for a while after turning around in circles, aren't you having some idea?"

  She has ideas, but she's always hesitant to express them. To be honest, no matter what happens, she can still protect herself. Some waves are bigger, which also means that the forces they offend are more terrifying.

  The young man was obviously very perceptive and stared at her, commanding: "Speak your mind!"

  In the midst of the bonfire, his gaze at Luoyin was razor-sharp. Having just arrived here for a while, he had already heard the ins and outs of what happened last night from the idle chatter and laughter of the crowd. Those pampered rich young masters might not know what this meant, but he did.

  In his view, neither of the two servants nor those mountain bandits nor even the donkey carts loaded with wine showed any obvious flaws.

  With a group of arrogant young men and women, in the situation where no one was helping her by her side, this little girl relied on her own strength to turn the entire battle around without the opponent showing any obvious weakness, which is already a great skill.

  Don't underestimate this little girl!

  Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I think, General, why not choose another place to set up camp? I remember on the way here, there is a place with mountains and water about 1,000 steps away."

  As soon as her voice fell, a knight burst out laughing, "Is this what your son thinks?"

  Lu Yue hooked her lips and said coldly, "Right. I thought that by camping separately at a distance of several thousand steps, we could respond to each other. Anyone who wants to attack one side will have to consider the consequences."

  The young general raised his head and stared at her with sharp eyes.

  Lu Xuan raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and quietly took a sip of wine.

  Under the fiery light, Lu Ying, dressed as a young man, was confident and composed, exuding a calming power that soothed people.

  He says he's a bachelor? Such a bachelor, I've never seen before.

  After a while, the young general said: "Good!"

  He stood up, waved his hand and ordered: "Dismantle the camp, let's go." After that, he walked away with big strides.

  These cavalrymen were apparently all men of great energy and efficiency, for in a moment they had struck their tents and then came the dull thud of hoofs.

  After seeing them off, Lu Xuan finally turned back. As she walked, she secretly thought to herself: I don't know what these people have done to offend someone? They're acting as if they're facing a great enemy!

  As she returned to the bonfire, it wasn't until after a while that Lu Xing discovered everyone was staring at her with wide eyes, but not a single person made a sound.
