Dong Yuan's eyes stared at him, and said unhappily: "Is it not so?"
Chen Lang smiled and nodded, then said with concern, "I'm only worried that the Grand Preceptor will kill me in the future, what should we do?"
Dong Yuan asked in confusion, "You are a great general that Father thinks highly of, why would Father kill you?"
Chen Lang laughed bitterly, looked out the window and muttered: "Everything is unpredictable! There was an old saying that goes, 'Accompanying a tiger like a monarch'. Even though the Grand Preceptor valued me highly, he might decide to kill me because of his slanderous words! There were too many similar things in history! "If a crafty rabbit dies, the dog will be cooked. If a bird flies, it will be well-hidden!"
Dong Yuan frowned, she could not help but worry. And then she said resolutely, "If Daddy wants to kill Big Brother, I will die with him!"
Chen Lang's heart trembled, he never expected her to say that! He could not help but to reach over and pull Dong Yuan into his embrace, and his heart was filled with awkwardness.
Dong Yuan remembered something, and raised her head to say: "Oh yes, Lv Bu's wife Lady Yan and daughter came, and said that they wanted to thank you for saving their lives."
Chen Lang said: "Let them in." Dong Yuan nodded and left. A moment later, Lady Yan and Lv Lingqi came in. On the other hand, Lv Lingqi had changed into a woman's attire. She no longer had the stern, sharp and refined aura of the first time they met, and instead had a somewhat similar appearance to Lady Yan, but the temperament between the two was completely different.
When Lady Yan saw Chen Lang, her eyes flashed with a strange light as she bowed and said, "Greetings, Great General!"
Chen Lang laughed: "We are not considered outsiders, there is no need to be so courteous! "Don't just stand there. Sit down and talk."
Lady Yan's charming face reddened slightly as she knelt down with her daughter at the seat closest to the bed. Lady Yan looked at Chen Lang and said gratefully, "If not for General, I'm afraid that …" At this point, Lady Yan's face revealed a lingering fear. Lv Lingqi's eyes also showed gratitude and admiration.
Chen Lang laughed: "This is nothing, don't take it to heart."
Lady Yan looked at Chen Lang, bowed her head and muttered, "This matter is nothing to the general, but to me, it has never been so shocking!"
Chen Lang did not hear clearly and could not help but ask: "What did Madam say?"
Lady Yan came back to her senses and her beautiful face flushed red. She quickly shook her head and said, "N-nothing!" Lv Lingqi said from the side, "Mother and I have always been worried about your injuries, but now that we see that you're fine, we are finally relieved."
Chen Lang laughed: "At least my luck is good." Then he asked, "General Lv Bu is currently in Chang An, when do you plan to go?" Lv Lingqi said, "Mother and I stayed in the Luoyang because we were worried about the general's injuries. Now that I see that there are no longer any injuries on the general, I wish to set out for Chang'an as soon as possible. " Chen Lang nodded his head, "When you leave, let me know, I will send someone to escort you all there!" Lady Yan slightly bowed. "Thank you, General!"
Chen Lang looked at Lady Yan, and suddenly felt that there was nothing more to talk about. Lady Yan and Lv Lingqi also felt that they did not know what to say. Lady Yan stood up and slightly bowed. "We will not disturb the general's recovery any longer. Goodbye." Chen Lang said to Dong Yuan: "Yuanyuan, help me send off Lady Lu and Miss Lu." Dong Yuan agreed as she brought Lady Yan and her daughter out.
Chen Lang stood up and walked out of the door. Seeing that there were many servants carrying around large boxes of ingredients, which seemed to be meat, eggs, vegetables and the like, he could not help but ask curiously, "What are you guys doing?"
Hearing Chen Lang's question, all the servants stopped and bowed: "We pay our respects to the Great General!"
"No need to be so polite. What are you doing? "
An elder servant bowed and said, "General, we are moving the supplies that the citizens have sent over!"
Chen Lang walked to the center of the crowd, and saw that the baskets they were carrying were all filled with pork, beef, fruits, vegetables and eggs, and that they were basically all for food. Chen Lang asked: "These were sent by the commoners?" The older servant said, "Yes. They were all sent by the commoners, and there are still many people gathered at the gate! " Chen Lang asked: "Who told you to accept it?" The middle-aged servant said, "It was accepted by Miss Dong." Chen Lang said: "Send all these back to me and tell all the villagers that I have accepted their kind intentions, but never their kind!" Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Then, they answered and carried the big basket out.
Chen Lang strolled around the backyard, walking and walking to the lakeside and sat down. He stared at the mirror-like lake in a daze, and when he thought back to his recent experiences, he felt like he was in a dream. And then he felt as though the memories of another world were a dream. The two feelings intertwined, causing Chen Lang to not even know which side of the dream was real.
A fragrant wind blew over, Chen Lang regained his senses and saw Dong Yuan angrily sitting down beside him. He smiled and asked: "Who offended Miss Dong?"
Dong Yuan stared: "It's you!"
Chen Lang chuckled, and said: "How come I didn't know?"
Dong Yuan snappily asked, "Big brother, why did you get the servants to send back the things that the citizens sent over? Big Brother almost lost his life for them, shouldn't they send some things over? "
Chen Lang chuckled, and said: "I'm so happy to hear you speak like that! But I don't want to take their things. They themselves are very difficult, so I can't accept their gifts in peace. " Dong Yuan rolled her eyes at Chen Lang, and said snappily: "So be it, big brother!" She then sighed and said, "I've never met someone as good as Big Brother!" Chen Lang held Dong Yuan's delicate hand, and laughed: "Don't praise Big Brother, Big Brother is actually not a good person!" Dong Yuan snorted as she glared at Chen Lang.
Seeing that Dong Yuan had such a charming and seductive attitude, Chen Lang could not help but eat like he was ready to go. He touched Dong Yuan's thigh and said longingly: "Young miss, it's been a long time since we've had a good chat in bed!" Dong Yuan's heart started to become red, but then she slapped Chen Lang's hand away, and said snappily: "Mr. Hua Tuo told me, you cannot stay here for this period of time! You're not allowed to mess around! " Chen Lang extended two of his fingers and laughed wickedly: "I will settle it with my fingers!" Dong Yuan's face was flushed red as she said angrily: "That won't do!" Chen Lang sighed, and muttered: "Seems like I have decided on my own!"
Seeing Chen Lang in such a state, Dong Yuan couldn't help but feel slightly sorry to him, and wanted to agree to his request. However, thinking about the matter that concerned his brother's body, he endured it in the end.
Chen Lang thought about the current situation and asked: "Is there any news of Yuan Shu's army?"
Dong Yuan shook her head, "There is still no latest news."
At about the same time, Yuan Shao and his rotten brother's allied army had already stopped a few kilometers away from the water seal.
Yuan Shu said worriedly to Yuan Shu: "Brother, we just received news that Chen Lang has survived!"
Yuan Shao frowned, and asked snappily: "Didn't you say that your informant had sent news, then Chen Lang will definitely die? Why is he alive again? " Yuan Shu said depressingly: "I don't know what's going on either! I never thought that the heavens would be merciful to this kind of thief! "
Yuan Shao snorted, and asked: "What should we do now?"
Yuan Shu muttered: "Chen Lang is as vicious as a tiger, his subordinates were all like tigers and wolves, if he dies, we can take advantage of the chaos to attack the Luoyang, but he actually came back to life now, I am afraid we will not be able to take advantage of him!" Yuan Shao scolded angrily: "It was all your bad idea! The great army has no achievements, and is only mocking the people of the world! " Yuan Shu said depressingly: "I never thought that things would turn out this way!" Then he said, "Brother, what do you think we should do? I'll listen to my brother! "
When Yuan Shao heard the news that Chen Lang was safe and sound, he had already lost his ambitions and courage to continue forward. However, if he were to retreat like this, he would lose face, so he did not know what to do next. He snappily said to Yuan Shu: "Go back first, I still have to consider this matter." Yuan Shu did not know what to do, he cupped his hands at Yuan Shao and left the tent.
Once Yuan Shu left, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked Tian Feng who was beside him: "What does Mister think we should do?"
Tian Feng sarcastically said: "I have long advised my lord, although the situation is unclear, I will not listen! This is why we are facing such a dilemma! "
Yuan Shao was depressed and angry at the same time, but as an expression of his broadmindedness, he did not berate Tian Feng, but turned to look at Xu You and asked: "What do you think, Mr. Xu You?" Xu You shot a glance at Tian Feng who was still laughing coldly, and bowed towards Yuan Shao, then reprimanded him: "Tian Feng did not help Master by solving all his problems, but his words were still ridiculing you, truly detestable!" Yuan Shao had originally suppressed his anger at Tian Feng, but after hearing what he said, he could not help but feel her anger, but still, he did not say anything. Tian Feng glanced at Xu You coldly, and said snappily: "You little thing, you only know how to cause trouble! When the Lord asked you for a solution, you said that I was wrong! " Xu You sarcastically replied. The two strategists exchanged malicious words, having a great fight.
Seeing the two of them like this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel depressed and angry at the same time. Finally, he could no longer hold it in and shouted, "Enough!"
Tian Feng and Xu You who were in the middle of an intense battle, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and stopped quarreling.
Yuan Shao said snappily: Just tell me what to do. Don't say those useless words! "
Xu You immediately said: "My lord, under the current circumstances, if we continue to advance, the gains will not make up for the losses. If we do not do so openly, we should immediately return to Jizhou." Tian Feng had the same thought, but he was ashamed that he said the same thing as Xu You, so he did not say anything.
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, and seeing that Tian Feng did not object, he frowned: "Leaving just like that, won't I be ridiculing the people of the world?"
Xu You said: "Master, you are overthinking it. This was just a small episode of the eighteen dukes taking revenge on Dong Zhuo. Even if the people of the world wanted to mock him, they would be mocking the eighteen dukes. This actually wouldn't happen, because although the eighteen dukes had accomplished nothing, they were all loyal soldiers who dared to take on the responsibility of a nation! As the leader of the eighteen dukes, not only will you not be ridiculed, you will also obtain an incomparably noble prestige that will shine throughout the world! "
