    95: The down-and-out lady & the loyal hunter (twenty-one)

    “How did you meet that Mingche?” Su Yan asked Luo Cheng’s arm as she walked out of the teahouse.She originally wanted to buy pen and paper alone and give them time to reminisce about old times, but Luo Cheng refused to let her hang out alone. She could only let Nan Mingche wait for them in the teahouse for a while. When she thought of the teasing smile on Nan Mingche’s face just now, her face felt a little hot.

    Luo Cheng couldn’t help but curl his lips. He liked her inadvertent expression of dependence on him. He quietly moved his arm towards her to let her grasp it better, and then said: “Mingche is the heir apparent of the Duke of Nanguo. When he first entered the military camp for training,Hou was assigned to the same tent as me as an ordinary soldier. Because we were similar in age, he and I had a better relationship than the others in the tent. Later, we experienced life and death together several times and supported each other. I have already regarded him as a brother.”

    Speaking of this, Luo Cheng’s eyes showed a nostalgic look, “It was only a year later that he told me that he was the eldest son of the Duke of Nanguo. He also changed from a soldier to a lieutenant general. He transferred me to his side and we could fight side by side again. If he hadn’t protected me in those years, I would have been buried in the battlefield.”

    Su Yan held his hand tightly, “Aren’t you back safely now? Why did you say those unlucky words?”

    Luo Cheng smiled at her and continued: “At the end of the war, he asked me to go to the capital and find a position for me. When I refused, he gave me a token and told me that if I encounter any difficulties, I should take the token to the Duke’s Mansion to find him.”

    Su Yan felt that stupid people are lucky in Luo Cheng, and the position Nan Mingche offered him must be decent. If he agreed, he would rise to the top, but in a place like the capital where there were so many noble honors, he might get into trouble. It was impossible for Nan Mingche to protect him all the time. He was more comfortable hunting in the countryside.

    She quietly grabbed Luo Cheng’s hand hanging by her side and intertwined her fingers with his, “Mr. sir, thank you.”

    Luo Cheng’s face turned red. This was the first time since that day that she called her husband-in-law. With such great joy, she even spoke incoherently: “I… No, your business is my business.”

    Seeing his stupid look, Su Yan couldn’t help but curl her lips, but a bright smile froze on her lips the next moment. She pushed Luo Cheng away with almost no time to speak. Behind him, the sharp stick flew into the air, and then turned around and swept towards the two of them.

    “Be careful!” At Su Yan’s reminder, Luo Cheng dodged another blow. They were now in a small alley, and the chance of being discovered was very low. The opponent had surrounded them from both ends of the alley. Everyone was holding a stick, and their faces were covered with a piece of cloth, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

    After surrounding them, those people launched an attack on Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng had been in the army for six years and could barely cope with their attacks. He could have escaped by himself. Unfortunately, he had a helpless Su Yan beside him. He had to protect Su Yan while avoiding the attacks of those people, and he soon fell behind.

    Su Yan also saw the critical situation and followed Luo Cheng to relieve him of some of the burden, “You go first and find Nan Mingche!” She probably guessed who sent these people. She had only been involved with Zhao Yuan. These people were either sent by Zhao Yuan or people around him, such as the concubine. Wasn’t the original owner killed by her?The person they want to arrest is her. If Luo Cheng escapes, they won’t pursue her relentlessly.

    Luo Cheng knew that it would not help if he stayed any longer. Both of them would eventually be caught, but how could he leave Ayan and escape alone? Even if he died, he would accept it if he could be with Ayan!

    “Hurry up!” Seeing that he had no intention of running away, Su Yan couldn’t help shouting.

    “No, I want to go with you.” Luo Cheng replied, taking advantage of the opportunity for those people to attack.His ability to hold on until now was at the end of his strength. Su Yan couldn’t help but burst into tears as she listened to the muffled groan he made when the stick hit him.

    Luo Cheng finally couldn’t hold it any longer, so he was hit on the head with a stick and fell heavily to the ground.

    “Luo Cheng!” Su Yan shouted and rushed to him. Seeing those people approaching gradually, she begged with tears in her eyes: “Please don’t hurt him. He doesn’t know anything. If you want to arrest me, I will just go with you!” The last thing in the memory is the oncoming stick.

    “Luocheng, Luocheng!” Su Yan screamed when she woke up and found that she had been splashed with cold water. There was a gorgeous-looking woman sitting on the chair opposite her. There was a bit of meanness in her eyebrows that she had never seen before.

    “Who are you, and what did you do to Luo Cheng?” she couldn’t help but ask.

    “Oh, are you talking about your poor husband? Of course he will be killed by me if he interferes with me!” The woman said with a sweet smile.

    “What?” Su Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Impossible. How could Luo Cheng die?Just when she was about to collapse, System Master’s redemptive voice sounded in her mind, “Yan Yan, Luo Cheng is not dead, she lied to you.”

    Su Yan then remembered System Lord’s existence and asked in her mind: “Weren’t you always here? Why didn’t you come out then? Why did you let Luo Cheng be beaten like that!” Perhaps because she was too concerned, she asked System Lord regardless.

    System Lord did not pay attention, but explained: “If the host’s life is not in danger, System Lord cannot take action. Yan Yan, there is nothing I can do. Now you are trying to delay time and wait for someone to save you.”

    Su Yan has calmed down now. She just blamed System Lord for Luo Cheng’s injury. She was too out of control. She should be resentful of this woman.

    The woman saw that she had been in a state of despair since hearing the news of Luo Cheng’s death. She couldn’t help but feel happy and said harshly: “Don’t worry, he won’t be left alone. I’ll send you down to accompany him soon!”

    Su Yan then raised her head and said, “Are you Zhao Yuan’s woman?”

    The woman didn’t want to hide it from her. She was a dying person anyway, so it didn’t matter if she told her, so she admitted generously: “Yes, I am his aunt. Your mistake was that you shouldn’t have provoked him! If someone hadn’t told me…”

    Speaking of which, she was able to know about Su Yan’s existence thanks to Mei Niang, who told her that Zhao Yuan was having an affair with a married woman and wanted to carry her in. She didn’t believe it at first, but Mei Niang told her that there was a portrait of the woman in Zhao Yuan’s study.

    “I’m afraid you have been taken advantage of. My husband-in-law and I are very loving, so how could we possibly become Zhao Yuan’s aunt?”

    “Shut up, it’s your fault that you made Zhao Yuan obsessed with you! You will die no matter what!” the woman said angrily.

    “Did a brothel girl tell you this?” Su Yan then asked.

    The woman looked a little suspicious and asked, “How do you know?”

    “She has a problem with me, but she can’t get rid of me, so she can only use you.” Su Yan only guessed before. After all, she only knew a few people, so she only needed to make an assumption. Now it seems that her assumption is right.

    The woman’s face showed some anger, “You Mei Niang, how dare you take advantage of me!” Her eyes turned to Su Yan’s face again, “Even so, you still have to die!”
