Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 27
一
When they arrived at the village gate, two people came forward to pick up Zhong Lan and escorted her up to the village tower.

"Madam, it's us." Someone called into Zhong Lan's ear.

She turned around and saw that the two gangsters were wearing the same clothes and had lifelike beards painted on their mouths. They just took advantage of the darkness of the night and no one noticed them, just to catch the frost and pick the dew.

"There are people among the bandit soldiers who have been inserted by your Majesty. Don't worry, Madam. I will ensure that Madam is safe."

Zhong Lan was escorted to the Luoxia Village Tower and saw Shen Feng standing on horseback in front of the armor not far away.

This was the first time Zhong Lan saw him wearing armor.

As the night grew darker, both sides held up torches, and Shen Jie's silver armor shone brightly in the light of the fire.

Although he looked a little frail, his back was very straight, the sword in his hand was majestic, and the red cloak on his shoulders rustled in the wind. Just standing there seemed to say to her: I am here, Don't be afraid.

Before the two of them could speak, Zhong Lan's eyes were red.

"Master, it's a pleasure to meet you." Shen Feng clasped his fists and smiled.

"Master Shen? I wonder why Master Shen came to our Luoxia Village?" The one-eyed eagle put one foot on the battlement of the village wall and looked down at Shen Feng.

"Yu Gong, of course, is to remove the hard nail in Luoxia Village; Yu Si, of course, is here to take Mrs. Shen back home." Shen Feng looked at Zhong Lan gently.

Zhong Lan looked away, not daring to look at him.

"Master Shen is always good at joking. Master Shen and Master Shen's wife are both good at telling lies." The One-Eyed Eagle smiled sinisterly and had treacherous eyes. "I won't say anything about you, but privately..."

"If Mr. Shen really wants to come and pick up this lady, then he will throw away his helmet, pick up his sword, and enter the village with his clothes in disgrace."

The generals who lead the army throw away their helmets, armor, pick up their swords, and enter the village with their clothes undressed, which can disturb the morale of the troops and damage their morale.

Zhong Yan's eyes widened, he looked at Shen Yan and shook his head again and again, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Okay, I promise you." Shen Feng nodded and went to untie his wrist guard.

Seeing this, the one-eyed eagle asked the archer to aim at Shen Feng, and he also put the knife in front of Zhong Lan's neck.

Seeing that Shen Feng had even removed his breastplate, Zhong Lan cried and screamed, trying to break free, but to no avail.

"Bang——", suddenly there was a loud bang, and the village gate was instantly blown into ashes.

When everyone on the village tower didn't expect it, a long arrow pierced through the clouds from the towering tree crown next to the village, and hit the chest of the person behind Zhong Lan. Another one stabbed the one-eyed eagle who was holding Zhong Lan. arm.

The bandits at the gate of the village got into chaos, fighting each other and making a mess.

Feng Shuang and Zhao Lu took the opportunity to draw their swords and fight with the gangsters in the tower. They cooperated with Chuanyun Changjian to protect Zhong Lan and retreat towards the tower.

Seeing that what had happened was exposed, the One-Eyed Eagle drew his sword and slashed at the three of them, opening a hole, and pulled Zhong Lan over: "Shen Feng! If you don't want her to die, let your people stop!"

"Madam!" Feng Shuang exclaimed, and was pushed away again, getting further and further away from Zhong Lan.

Another arrow hit the one-eyed eagle's arm, causing him to loosen his hand in pain.

Seeing that there was no life left, Zhong Lan simply climbed onto the battlement.

The night was blurry, with only the torches behind and in the distance reflecting each other's cheeks. There was wind as we climbed high, and the not-so-gentle evening wind blew Zhong Lan's clothes.

She took a deep look at Shen Feng. He was so good-looking, but she would never see him again.

Seeing that all the bargaining chips that could hold Shen Feng hostage would be destroyed, everyone on the tower hurriedly tried to pull Zhong Lan away, but were forced back with a long sword. They could only watch as Zhong Lan jumped down resolutely.

"Bang——", there was a loud sound that reached the sky from behind the village. Everyone on the tower ignored Zhonglan and turned around to look around, only to see the firewood shed bursting with light all over the sky.

"Bang——" "Bang——" There was a lot of wine in the wine cellar, followed by another explosion.

"It's you! It's you!" The one-eyed eagle's eyes were cracked, and he endured the pain in his arms as he looked down at the city.

Zhong Lan, who should have fallen in a pool of blood, was held in Shen Feng's arms, with tears on his cheeks, his eyes closed tightly, and his body shivering.

Shen Feng wrapped Zhong Lai in his cloak, and with piercing eyes shouted at the soldier not far away: "Fire the arrow!"

"Fire the arrow!" Wen Yi's voice came from the bushes.

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired from the trees, bushes, and soldiers, and the arrow feathers were still shining with fire.

The sudden fire attack, coupled with the continuous explosions in the woodshed and wine cellar, caused the fragments of the wine jar to be blown up dozens of feet high, and one piece accidentally scratched the one-eyed eagle's cheek.

"Defend the enemy! Defend the enemy!" The one-eyed eagle roared with its canthus splitting, and raised the knife in his hand, "Kill Shen Feng! Kill them!"

Finding that he was fine, Zhong Lan slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Shen Feng who was riding a horse: "I, how can I..."

"Luoxia Village Tower is shorter than the walls of normal county towns. What's more, I'm here to support you." Shen Feng frowned, full of worry. Seeing that Zhong Lan was fine, he forced a smile and wiped Zhong Lan's tears. .

"What about you? He asked you to take off your armor? That arrow is already aimed at you!" Zhong Yan pushed Shen Yan's hand away crying.

Shen Feng smiled and said nothing, and put Zhong Lan's hand on his arm, only to find that Zhong Lan's hair was messy and his palms were burned, and a hint of cruelty flashed through his eyes.

Zhong Lan put her hand on his arm, which was slightly hard under the soft white clothes. She was curious for a moment: "Is this?"

"It's your soft gold armor."

"You rest for a moment, I will avenge you." Shen Feng put on Zhong Lan's hood and wrapped her cloak tightly, rode her horse back to the soldiers' formation, put her down, took off the outer layer of the armor, and the golden soft armor Shine brighter.

"Girl!" Chang Huan cried and ran forward to hug Zhong Yan, and helped him to the back of the soldier.

"Luoxia Village has been in trouble for a long time, and the will of heaven will punish it. All the soldiers will charge with me and destroy the bandit village. Those who have made merit will be rewarded!"

Wen Yi also climbed down from the tree, arranged his clothes and flew onto his horse, pointing his sword at the three characters "Luoxia Village" on the gate of the village: "Charge!"

Shen Feng used the patrol to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits, taking them by surprise.

All the bandits in Luoxia Village responded absurdly, and finally fled in a hurry, escaping into the vast mountains and forests behind Luoxia Village.

Shen Feng and Wen Yi led their troops and chased them to the lobby. There was no one in the lobby, and items were scattered everywhere, which was enough to see the gangsters' haste when they fled.

"The one-eyed eagle escaped!" Wen Yi was heartbroken, "The duty of eradicating evil is over, I have to chase him."

"The woods behind Luoxia Village are lush and green. It will be difficult to chase them now." Shen Feng fiddled with the scattered cloth, gold and silver on the ground with his sword, and ordered people to count them. "A lot of abducted women and children were found in the village just now, and their appearance is horrible. This Luoxia village is like carrion, it's better to burn it clean!" Wen Yi said with deep hatred.

"The kidnapping of Lian Niang this time was for me. There are people behind Luoxia Village." Shen Feng said in a deep voice, "Jiang Liu, among the people captured this time, please keep a few people who know the truth and escort them back."

"The rest," Shen Feng's eyes flashed, "don't leave any one behind."

Chang Huan originally wanted to protect Zhong Lan and return to Qin Lin first, but Zhong Lan refused and wanted to wait behind the army with red eyes for Shen Feng and others to come out safely.

Facing the night, a towering fire suddenly ignited in the village. The raging fire made Zhong Lan's heart twitch. She helped Chang Huan stand up and walked quickly towards the village gate regardless of the obstruction.

Before reaching the gate of the village, he saw Shen Feng and Wen Yi coming out with Feng Shuangzhao Lu and a group of armored soldiers escorting people. Zhong Xuan was startled, remembering what the minion had said before, he turned around with red eyes.

"Most of the women and children rescued were robbed from Fanshui County, so I first took them to find the magistrate of Fanshui County and resettle them all..."

Seeing Zhong Lan turn around, Shen Feng was confused for a moment, patted Wen Yi on the shoulder, and strode forward to hold her.

Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Wen Yi smiled and coughed twice: "Then I will go back and write a letter of apology to the governor first."

"Thank you for everything today. I will thank you very much in the future." Shen Feng said goodbye to Wen Yi.

"Thank you, it was my fault in the first place, I didn't send Sister Yi back safely." Wenyi said angrily, and waved his hand, "I will continue to investigate, I have to find out this one-eyed eagle."

After Wen Yi left, Shen Feng left Jiang Liu to rest and reorganize his troops, and sent Zhong Lan back home first.

In the carriage, Shen Feng carefully applied medicine to Zhong Lan's hand, blowing it gently while applying it.

Zhong Lan said a little embarrassedly: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Even with Wen Yi's long bow to assist you, Feng Shuang Zhao Lu and his two men to protect you, and inserting soldiers into the village to blow open the village gate and create chaos, we are still not completely sure." Shen Feng's voice trembled slightly, "Looking back now , I’m really scared.”

"Fortunately, you're okay." He raised his head and met Zhong Lan's eyes, which turned slightly red and shook Zhong Lan's heart.

"But we didn't expect the explosion in the woodshed in Luoxia Village. It was so violent that it must not have been a coincidence, so it was you?" he asked tentatively.

Zhong Lan pursed his lips slightly and nodded: "I was imprisoned in the woodshed and found that their woodshed was next to the wine cellar, so I tried to find a way to get charcoal..."

Looking at the injury on the palm of his hand, Zhong Lan smiled with red eyes: "Shen Feng, although I was not humiliated, I was kidnapped into Luoxia Village. It will not sound good if the news spreads, and you will want my reputation to be damaged. ?"

She didn't dare to look at him and laughed to herself: "If you don't want to, I won't blame you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Lan was embraced by Shen Feng.

"I want it." Shen Feng's voice was filled with sobs. "You are the person I recognize. No matter what you are, as long as it's you, I want it."

"Now that Luoxia Village has been destroyed and people are dead, the Danzhou Army and the Taiming County Army are all marching strictly. If any rumors spread and harm you, I will punish you severely."

"I can't help you. It's all because of me that people hurt you."

After Zhong Lan hesitated for a moment, he gently held Shen Feng's face and smoothed his long frowning eyebrows: "You have not wronged me, you are my noble person."

"But,"

It was nothing, Zhong Lan kissed Shen Feng's lips.

Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, and responded clumsily and carefully.

After a brief taste, the carriage entered Qin Lincheng safely and returned to Shen Mansion. Shen Feng carefully helped Zhong Lan out of the car: "The patrol is not over yet, I have to go back to the camp in the northern suburbs."

"Come back earlier, I'll wait for you at home." Zhong Yan said goodbye to him with a smile on his face.

No one expected that Shen Feng and Wen Yi would act so resolutely. Although the one-eyed eagle escaped, Luoxia Village, which caused trouble to everyone, was finally burned down.

Shen Feng imprisoned the captured gangsters in Qinlin County Prison and reported them to the governor.

Taking Zhonglan's reputation into account, Shen Feng did not mention her being robbed, and the reason why he ordered troops to suppress the bandits was much paler.

Zhang Yan was shocked and angry that Shen Feng and Wen Yi secretly ordered troops to suppress the bandits. Fortunately, the two men admitted their mistakes sincerely and each received thirty military sticks. Zhang Yan asked Wen Yi and Shen Feng to jointly interrogate The gangsters in Luoxia Village made up for their mistakes.

After the two were sentenced, Wen Yi recovered his health in eight or nine days, began to interrogate the gangsters in Luoxia Village, and continued to trace the whereabouts of the One-Eyed Eagle.

Unlike Wen Yi, Shen Feng was physically strong. He was not fully healed from his previous injuries, and he was injured by a military stick. It took him half a month to recover. Three days after the joint trial with Wen Yi, Shen Feng had a high fever again.

Zhang Yan then handed over the affairs of Luoxia Village to Wen Yi and asked Shen Feng to cultivate himself first.

"Luoxia Village has always been difficult to attack. Now we took advantage of its unpreparedness and attacked it. The forces behind it are still unknown. And except for the one-eyed eagle who contacted him, no one knows his identity. That's why we found the one-eyed eagle. It's the key." Shen Feng lay on the couch with his eyes closed and frowning.

"There is news that the one-eyed eagle escaped from Fanshui County into Taiming County. Wen Yi is investigating and trying to capture him."

Zhong Yan carefully put a wet veil on Shen Yan's forehead: "Can't you take good care of your illness for two days? The injury on your back has only healed for two days, and it's burning again."

"I only hate myself for not living up to expectations and not being able to help him." Shen Feng sighed.

"There is no rush now." Zhong Lan ordered Chang Huan to carry the water basin down. "Fortunately, Luoxia Village is gone, and the people around you don't have to worry anymore."

"Who doesn't know the names of Mr. Xiaowen and Mr. Xiao Shen now?" Zhong Lan said teasingly as he put away the files scattered in front of the bed after Shen Feng read them.

"Don't make fun of me." Shen Feng said embarrassedly.

The willow trees in the courtyard have sprouted their leaf buds, and their branches are swaying in the wind. Swallows are also flying back and forth in a hurry to build nests.

Under Zhong Lan's care, Shen Feng recovered from her fever and was finally able to go to the ground.

The two ordered people to move chairs and sit under the willow tree to enjoy the breeze and have tea.

"It's early summer." Zhong Lan murmured, "It would be nice if it could always be this peaceful and ordinary."

"The incident in Luoxia Village has come to an end, and the people behind it will also have to stay quiet for a while." Shen Feng held her hand.

"I have harvested spring wheat in the fields in the eastern suburbs. It will be harvested in a few months. When the time comes, I invite you to try the porridge made from the rice grown in my own fields."

"it is good."
