"Slay the dragon?"
Lu Chen frowned, feeling that he knew too little about this war, not even as much as a captain like Ling Yan.
But what he didn't know was that the Ling family, where Ling Yan belonged, was also a large family in the capital. Although it was not as good as the gods, it still had half-step heavenly masters in charge.
Moreover, they are direct descendants of the Dragon Emperor and know more than even the masters of the God Clan.
"There is a dragon in China. It rises in the northeast, soars in Kunlun, and bows its head to the capital."
"This dragon vein is related to the fate of the entire China, and I heard that the leader of the royal family, Senior Ji Tian, can borrow the breath of the dragon vein of heaven and earth. The Ten Kingdoms want to break his trump card and then launch a general attack."
Ling Yan shook his head and changed the subject: "I don't know the specifics. Don't you know Prince Ji Xingchen? He is now a representative of the royal family. When you see him, you can talk to him."
Lu Chen nodded and didn't ask any more, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
There was fierce fighting on the border, but everything was business as usual in the capital, and it was not as chaotic as imagined.
After Lu Chen said goodbye to Ling Yan, he came to the Liu family headquarters. Liu Tingting was sitting in the office reviewing documents. When she saw Lu Chen coming over, her hands trembled in excitement and her pen fell on the table.
"Lu Chen... you... why are you here?"
"You...are you injured? What's wrong with your eyes?"
She ran over quickly and reached out to touch Lu Chen's closed eyes.
Lu Chen grabbed her wrist and chuckled: "I'm practicing a technique, and I can't open my eyes for the time being. As for the blood on my body, it belongs to others, so don't worry."
"It's very chaotic outside." Liu Tingting bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with tears, although Lu Chen made it clear when they parted last time that they were just friends.
But she can't forget it.
She can't forget the scene of Chase Lu helping her to block the knife in the mine.
Unable to forget the crisis in the capital, Lu Chen won her freedom and made her the head of the Liu family.
I can't forget that high-spirited young man, nor can I forget myself smiling so happily when I was with him.
During this period, when she dreamed back at midnight, she would always see that smiling face, but every time she reached out to grab it, the face shattered like a bubble.
She was even afraid that she was in a dream and Lu Chen would disappear again as soon as she touched her hand.
"How are you doing recently?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Liu Tingting nodded heavily, and then asked carefully: "Lu Chen, I, am I not dreaming, am I? Are you, are you really back?"
"Haha, how could I be dreaming?" Lu Chen laughed, then reached out and rubbed Liu Tingting's head. The real touch made Liu Tingting's heart tremble, and she opened her arms desperately and wrapped them around Lu Chen's waist.
Lu Chen was slightly startled, but did not break away.
The two of them maintained this posture. After a full three minutes, Liu Tingting let go of Lu Chen and stepped back while wiping her tears.
"I'm sorry, I, I was just too excited. Why did you come to me suddenly?" Liu Tingting asked, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
"I heard from your second uncle that the fourth volume of "The Heart Sutra of the Ghost Gate" is in your hands, and I want to take it away." Lu Chen said straight to the point.
"Is that the technique you practice?" Liu Tingting asked in surprise, then returned to her seat and took out a scroll from the drawer.
"When my grandfather handed him over to me, he said that someone would come to pick it up. He also said that no matter what request I made, that person would satisfy me. Is it true?" Liu Tingting looked at Lu Chen expectantly. .
"Of course, what do you want?" Lu Chen sat opposite Liu Tingting.
"I think..." Looking at the blood stains on Lu Chen's body, Liu Tingting stopped talking.
"Tell me, this thing is very important to me. No matter what kind of request you make, I will satisfy you." Lu Chen said with a smile.
But Liu Tingting didn't speak. Instead, she went to the bathroom and took out a towel and wiped away the stains on Lu Chen's face.
"Lu Chen, you left in such a hurry last time that I didn't even have time to take a photo with you. Let's take a photo together." Liu Tingting smiled.
"You just want a group photo?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.
"Yes!" Liu Tingting nodded heavily, then held Lu Chen's arm with one hand, and raised her phone to take a selfie with the other hand.
Looking at the face of Ri Si Nian so close to her on the screen, a bright smile appeared on her face. She turned her head, leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder, and pressed the screen.
The screen freezes at this moment.
In the photo, there are two blue highlights on the man's white-haired headband. He has his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth are slightly curved.
The woman's head rested on his shoulder, her eyes filled with tears, ridiculous but like flowers in midsummer, brilliant and beautiful.
Liu Tingting put away her phone with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "I know it's very chaotic outside and you are very busy, so I won't let you eat."
"Thank you."
Lu Chen thanked her, then put away the scroll and left. He naturally understood Liu Tingting's thoughts. He understood it when they parted a year ago, but in life, there must be someone who comes first and arrives first.
His heart can no longer tolerate others.
But when he opened the door to go out, Liu Tingting suddenly shouted.
"Lu Chen!!"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Chen stopped and did not look back.
"If, I say if... we are all still alive after this war is over, I would like to invite you and your girlfriend to have a meal together, is that okay?"
"Of course, we will invite you when the time comes."
Lu Chen waved his hand and left the office. The sound when the door closed was like a sledgehammer, hitting Liu Tingting's heart hard.
She was lying on the table, crying constantly, but she was crying and laughing again, like a madman.
She didn't know how much time had passed. She wiped the tears from her face, walked to the desk not far away, picked up a brush and wrote a few lines.
"The soldiers of the ten countries bravely conquered thousands of mountains, and finally met you. Thousands of words were reduced to shallow conversations, but we could only cry. I hope you will look back and remember that there is someone in the capital who smiles beautifully and hopes that you will return."
"Lu Chen, I hope everything is well with you!"
…
"What a bad fate!"
Walking out of the office road, Lu Chen sighed. He didn't expect that Liu Tingting still didn't let him go after so long.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Dragon Emperor: "Send a few people to protect Liu Tingting. Thank you."
Before the Dragon King could recover, he found a hotel to stay in, and then eagerly took out the scroll.
Before it was rolled out, he felt the intimacy coming from above.
He bathed and burned incense, prepared himself, and then unfolded the scroll bit by bit. The first thing that caught his eye was the outline of this volume.
"Volume 4: Listening to the Wind on the Bridge."
