On the way back, Chen Fei saw that Li Qian remained silent, so he asked tentatively: "Li Qian, do you have any concerns about the matter between us?"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "No."
"Then why are you frowning and silent?"
"No, I just don't know how to get along with you for a while. I always feel that something is weird." Li Qian is not like Wen Yi, who has to think so much about what she says and does. She has been carefree since she was a child and has been with the soldiers for a long time. , prefer to express things straight to the point when encountering problems.
Chen Fei looked at Li Qian who was at a loss, smiled and hugged her into his arms and said, "What's wrong? From now on, you have to try to get used to my hugs and kisses, and you should be the first to deal with anything." Time reminds me, the days to come are still long, take your time and don’t rush.”
Li Qian blushed and stayed stiffly motionless in Chen Fei's arms. Chen Fei joked: "It's my fault. It seems that I need to hug you more in the future."
Li Qian raised her head and wanted to retort, but Chen Fei lowered his head and blocked her mouth. While kissing her, he said, "Relax Li Qian, don't be nervous."
Li Qian herself was confused, remembering Sister Wen's question, does she like Chen Fei? She didn't know, but she didn't hate his kiss either. She probably liked it. She slowly raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck in response.
Chen Fei looked at the silly girl with her eyes tightly closed in front of him, and his heart almost melted. God was not kind to him after all, allowing his longing for many years to become a reality, allowing him to have such a simple and kind beloved.
Feeling Li Qian's fierce struggle, Chen Fei stopped and looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm a little out of breath." After speaking, Li Qian buried her head on his chest in embarrassment. Chen Fei touched her head and said, "You are so stupid that you can't even breathe through a kiss." , let’s practice more in the future, eh?”
"You're stupid. Besides, who wants to practice with you?" Li Qian glanced at him, left him and left. Chen Fei followed silently with a doting look on his face.
Chen Bin's current priority is military pay, so there can be no mistakes in the ransom this time. Chen Fei knew the powerful relationship, so he offered to escort the hostages for exchange.
Li Qing analyzed: "General, this batch of silver is a huge amount. Even if the three families can raise it all, the one on the dragon throne will not stand by and watch. I am afraid that they will cheat and the three families will unite to deal with us. For safety reasons, it is better for me and Chen Fei, let’s go together.”
"no!"
"good!"
Chen Fei and Chen Bin spoke at the same time. Chen Bin looked at Chen Fei: "Reason!"
"The two of us can't go out at the same time. If they intend to attack the city, wouldn't they have fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain? If you are really worried, you can send someone else to go with me." Another point is that he and Li Qian just exchanged ideas and are leaving. It must be all kinds of risks. If he and Li Qing were both stuck there, how could that girl endure it?
Chen Bin stared at him with sharp eyes and said, "Is that all?"
Chen Fei lowered his head and remained silent.
Li Qing saw the strange behavior between them and said, "It's better for me to go. Apart from you, I am the only one who can mobilize large-scale troops in the border city. If necessary, it is more convenient for me to be here than others."
Chen Bin made a final decision and said to Chen Fei: "That's it. Don't worry, I will strengthen the protection of the border town. If it is true as you said, they will never come back. Chen Fei, please put your mind on the right track." On the road, knowing the danger, I carefully planned it. I didn't want to make anyone sad, so I wanted to come back safely. If you dare to take risks in private, I will never let you go. Do you hear me?"
Chen Fei reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Li Qing said in confusion: "Even though it's dangerous to go here, it's not as dangerous as you said. Why can't I understand what you two mean?"
Chen Fei looked unnatural, and Chen Bin replied funny: "Now you will understand that his identity is different now, and worry is inevitable. You just need to remember one thing, money can be earned again, but life There is only one thing, you must come back to me safely."
"yes!"
Next, they discussed the details of the exchange for a long time. Seeing that the danger was inevitable, Chen Fei suggested: "How about we ask Wen Yi to see if she has any good ideas. After all, she has seen so many more scenes than us. You What do you think?"
Li Qing was really confused now and asked: "She is a young lady from an aristocratic family who never leaves home. What kind of scenes has she seen? Why do you believe her so much?"
Chen Bin knew what Chen Fei meant, but he couldn't tell Li Qing the correct reason at this time, so he could only vaguely say: "Wen Yi is very smart, and women's minds are more delicate than men's, so listen more to us It’s not harmful.”
Wen Yi was currently in the martial arts training ground with Li Qian. The long period of inactivity made Wen Yi suffer a lot when he practiced again. His limbs were numb and his lungs hurt terribly.
When the housekeeper came to pick them up, Wen Yi collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up for a while. Li Qian saw her and quickly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Sister Wen, why don't you like practicing martial arts?"
"It's so tiring, why would you like me?"
"But we are in troubled times, and it is still necessary to learn more self-protection skills. Besides, you have a good foundation. It would be a pity to waste it."
"Hey, I understand everything you said, but I just don't like it. I'm too tired and there's nothing I can do!"
Wen Yi is really annoying Chen Bin. Even if he wants to join the army, there is no need to practice martial arts. How many military advisors in ancient times were good at martial arts? Which one has not died?
With this dissatisfaction, when he saw Chen Bin again, Wen Yi didn't give him a good look, or even look at him. Chen Fei looked at Li Qian doubtfully, and Li Qian waved her hand helplessly.
Li Qing was originally skeptical of Wen Yi's views, but now he was even more stunned when he saw her entering the room and sitting down on his seat, ignoring the general. This woman is really bold and arrogant. Whose power is she relying on?
Chen Bin saw Wen Yi sitting on the chair angrily, and cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Wen Yi, what's wrong?"
Wen Yi didn't even pay attention to him. After resting for a while, he said to Chen Fei, "Brother Chen Fei, you came to me to discuss something?"
Chen Fei had already been informed by Li Qian and knew the reason for Wen Yi's anger. He hurriedly reminded Chen Bin: "Sister, don't worry, aren't you tired from practicing martial arts? Just rest more."
Chen Bin looked at Wen Yi's clothes and realized that they were going to practice martial arts. He quickly squatted down and asked, "Tired? Didn't I tell you to take your time?"
"Go away, you know how to pretend to be a good person. You are fighting your battle. Why do you have to take me with you? Just for your own selfishness, I will train to death. I don't want you to know?" Wen Yi I’m really annoyed. I’ve already spoken, so I just risked my life today, “You can’t even guarantee my safety. Why are you taking me to the battlefield? Are you going to die? What problem can I solve with all my tricks? You are simply baffled!”
It was the first time that Chen Bin saw Wen Yi so angry. He quickly apologized and said, "Okay, we won't practice anymore. Since you don't like it, we won't practice tomorrow. You are right. Since I want to take you to fight, I will protect you." It's my responsibility. If I can't even protect you, I won't have to fight this battle. It was my fault that I made you suffer so much. Don't be angry, okay?"
"You're annoying me so much. I woke up early in the morning and haven't even eaten until now. I have sore back and leg cramps all because of you!" Wen Yi said aggrievedly after hearing what he said.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Just let me rub it for you. Chen Fei, go and ask the housekeeper to prepare some pastries and bring them over immediately." As he spoke, he used his hands to clear Wen Yi's meridians, relax his muscles, and relieve the pain.
"I want the Nuojiji kind and sweet soup. Li Qian didn't eat it either. Make more and we can eat together."
"Okay!" Chen Bin immediately agreed, as long as she wasn't angry, anything would be fine.
Li Qing quickly replied: "No need, Qian Ya has a rough scalp and thick flesh. She won't be hungry if she doesn't eat. General, don't worry about her."
After hearing this, Li Qian silently tugged on Chen Fei's sleeve, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Since I've asked the housekeeper to do it, it's not too much to bring her a portion. The girl's family doesn't have to pay so much attention, so Vice General Li shouldn't refuse." Chen Fei patted her hand to comfort her and said to Li Qing.
Seeing Wen Yi's mood improve, Chen Bin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it. You can eat the pastries when they are served. Now let's discuss the hostage exchange."
Chen Fei told Wen Yi one by one about their previous worries, including the various dangers in the exchange process, the confirmation of the authenticity of the money, the urgency of time, and most importantly, the fear that they would join forces to commit fraud.
Wen Yi rolled his eyes. These ancient people were so sincere. Do they really intend to hand over people and pay with one hand? so stupid!
"I said, why do we need to exchange at the same time? Just find a commanding height and put the three of them up so that they can see it. We will confirm that the money is correct before releasing them. Don't reveal the location yet, just give them half a day's notice. We have the people in our hands, why? Worry? We can play however we want."
Chen Bin: "?"
Li Qing was shocked: "Wouldn't this be bad? After all, all hostage exchanges since ancient times have been done on the spot."
Wen Yi shook his head and said: "It is too risky to do it on the spot. Besides, the strength of the three major families cannot be underestimated. We just need to ensure that the transaction is completed. Brother Chen Fei, the place we choose must be close to the border town. If there is an accident, we will dispatch our generals." I promise not to be affected. Chen Bin, this is your territory. If they dare to cheat, they will lose both their lives and money, and there will be no return. Of course, I am just a female prostitute, and it may be difficult for me to do things in an elegant manner, but Li Lieutenant general, what I want to say is that when marching and fighting, when arranging troops and forming formations, everyone relies on their abilities. I don’t think I need to say more about the truth that soldiers never tire of deceit. Upright and kind people also need to be able to distinguish between people and things, what do you think?"
Li Qian clapped her hands and said, "You're right, those scumbags in Lingcheng don't deserve it!"
"Shut up, who dares to marry a girl from such a vulgar family? It's inappropriate!" Li Qing scolded. After the lesson, he turned to Chen Bin and said, "I don't have any objection to that. Miss Wen is so talented, I will admire her!" "
Wen Yigang was about to be polite to him. When he saw the pastry coming, he hurriedly pulled Li Qian to sit on the table and said, "Ah, this is the pastry. Li Qian, try it quickly. It's delicious."
"But my mother said that this kind of pastry is not easy to digest, so she usually doesn't give it to me."
"What are you afraid of? Let's do some more activities after eating. I'll accompany you then."
"But aren't you too tired to move? Why are you willing to move again?"
"I am willing to eat. I would rather run through the soles of my shoes to eat this plate!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Qing: What kind of girl is this? She is so unique!
