The pale young man seemed to want to get up. He was lying on the bed and his body was hunched in pain. He seemed to hear footsteps in front of the door. When he suddenly turned around, his dark eyes were full of vigilance and fierceness.
The murderous aura in his body shocked Di Shuangcheng.
"Brother He."
Ditao was very excited: "Are you awake? Are you okay?"
When Xiao Yan saw that the person coming was Di Tao, his tense back suddenly relaxed, and he almost fell down when his hands loosened.
Di Shuangcheng strode forward and grabbed the man back. When he helped him sit on the bed, he released his hand under Xiao Yan's wary eyes.
"You are……"
"My name is Di Shuangcheng, and I am the father of this bastard. Thank you for escorting their brother and sister back all the way."
Di Shuangcheng paid attention to Xiao Yan when he spoke. It was true that the appearance of the young man in front of him was too outstanding, and the aura he had at that moment was definitely not something ordinary people could have.
Seeing that the young man who had been extremely wary just now relaxed after hearing his name, Di Shuangcheng looked more thoughtful in his eyes and slapped Di Tao on the back who was standing next to him.
"What are you doing standing still? Apologize!"
Di Tao staggered when he was patted, his face turned a little paler, and he lowered his head in front of Xiao Yan.
"I'm sorry, Brother He. I shouldn't have involved you in this incident. Beiling targeted the Di family and the Zhen'an Army. This matter had nothing to do with you. It was all my selfishness that almost killed you. And let the guards around you..."
His eyes were red and full of guilt, remembering the dozens of guards around Xiao Yan when they first met, and then only Zhang Bin was left.
Now even Zhang Bin is seriously injured and is almost equivalent to being "crippled", and Di Tao's next words are stuck in his throat and cannot be said.
Di Shuangcheng glared at his son fiercely before turning to look at Xiao Yan.
"Ditao is at fault for what happened this time. His inconvenience to go out now is a drag. When he recovers from his injury, I will let him go to the army to receive his punishment. Then I will remove him from his official position and let him go to the front line to fight the enemy. You are dead. As many guards as there are, let him kill a hundred times the number of Beiling people. If he doesn’t have enough guards, he will not be allowed to come back.”
The lieutenant general said anxiously: "General, the major general also knows his mistake..."
"If he realizes his mistake, he can repay the person's life?"
Di Shuangcheng said angrily: "We are all raised by our father and mother. Who is more valuable than him?"
"If I hadn't thought that he had selfish motives to protect his mother and sister, just for what he did this time, I would have killed him directly. Now I just let him kill the enemy to pay off the debt, which is easier for him."
After Di Shuangcheng finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yan: "He Langjun, you saved Di Tao's life, and it was he who caused you to do this. If you feel that such a punishment is not satisfactory, then you can hand Di Tao over to you at will." I, the Di family, will have nothing to say about how you handle it."
Xiao Yan fixedly looked at Di Shuangcheng, who had a righteous face. After a moment, he said weakly: "No need, he finally saved his life, cherish it."
He took a deep breath to suppress the pain in his body and sat up with a pale face.
"I came to Fengcheng for other reasons, and I have no intention of quarreling with people in the army. Since General Di has nothing to do, please do as you please."
Di Tao was shocked: "Brother He..."
Xiao Yan looked at him with a cold look on his face: "I'm not familiar with you, and General Di has no intention of letting you get along with me. General Di, you'd better call me He Yan."
He ignored Di Tao's puzzled and pale face and looked up at Di Shuangcheng standing next to him.
"I was also coming to Fengcheng, and I was just dropping by with the Di Tao brothers and sisters. As for those people from Beiling, they sneaked into the hinterland of Wei Dynasty with no good intentions. They thought it was me killing the enemy for the country."
"General Di, as a military general, doesn't need to bother to pretend to teach Di Tao a lesson to stop me from asking for life-saving favors from your Di family. I'm not that obsessed with asking for repayment. people."
Di Shuangcheng didn't expect Xiao Yan to see through his mind at a glance. Seeing the boredom and impatience on the young man's brows, he was silent for a moment before speaking: "How did you tell?"
Xiao Yan said coldly: "General Di is not the kind of person that ordinary people face when facing their savior."
"Don't talk about repayment, don't talk about kindness, just punish General Di, let him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy to compensate for the death of the bodyguard he killed, and just tell me to do whatever I want to clear up the relationship between the Di family."
"General Di doesn't want to show his gratitude, and I don't want to show any favor either. There's no need for such pretense."
When Di Shuangcheng heard this, he looked at the young man with a frosty face and did not quibble: "Sorry, I am not targeting you. It is true that there have been too many people in Beiling trying to sneak into the army in recent years, so I have to be cautious."
Only when Di Tao heard this did he understand what his father meant. He hurriedly said: "Father, He Yan is not the one."
"My mother, Fang Yun, and I were intercepted and killed for many days, and everyone around us was killed and injured. When we met He Yan, he wanted to avoid it, but I forcibly pulled him in. He also almost did it when we were in Anxi. I wanted to leave for the first time, but I resorted to various means to force him to stay."
"And if he had any evil intentions, he would have handed me and my mother over to the people in Beiling a long time ago. If we fell into the hands of Beiling, you and the Zhen'an Army would be in chaos. Why would he risk his life to send us back?"
Di Shuangcheng looked at the injuries on Xiao Yan's body, and remembered what the people below had said in response to the miserable state of their bodies when they found them, and what he wanted to say.
But Xiao Yan had already spoken first: "I know what General Di is suspicious of. Luoyan Pass is in a critical location and cannot be ignored. It is normal for you to be cautious."
"I have no ill intentions towards the Di family. I came to Fengcheng for other reasons. General Di can rest assured that after today, I will not have any contact with General Di again."
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he pointed outside:
"I want to take a rest, please."
Di Tao said anxiously: "Hey Yan!"
Xiao Yan looked indifferent and kept silent.
The Di family father and son and the deputy general were almost "bombed" by Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Yan was injured and could not do anything, his disgusting attitude made them unable to stay.
When he came out of the room, Di Tao said angrily to Di Shuangcheng: "Father, what are you doing? He Yan saved my life and Fang Yun's. He was still seriously injured, and the guards around him almost died." , how can you speculate on him like that!"
Di Shuangcheng frowned: "It's such a coincidence that he saved you."
The people in Beiling didn't know where they got the news to intercept his wife and children, but He Yan happened to save the Di Tao brothers and sisters.
Although Di Shuangcheng was angry that Di Tao had involved an innocent person, he was also a little wary of whether He Yan was deliberately using this matter to get close to Di Tao. After all, there have been countless people who have tried to infiltrate the Zhen'an Army through this method over the years. He also suffered a lot because of this.
Di Shuangcheng originally just wanted to test them, but who would have thought that the young man would directly penetrate his mind and drive them out without mercy. Obviously what he just did angered him.
