Sweet as candy

Chapter 54

Xiao Lang hasn't eaten properly in the past few days.

When Yannan received the news, his eyelids twitched.

Ever since he fainted that time, Xiao Lang's appetite seemed to be worsening day by day, his meals were irregular, sometimes he even put down his chopsticks after only one or two bites in a meal.

A few days ago, I personally went to watch him, and I tried my best to make him eat a few more bites. Why can't I live with myself these two days?

None of the cooks hired were really useful.

Xiaolu listened carefully from the side, seeing his restless appearance, he knew that most of the people had changed their minds again.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the boy who came to report the news, feeling depressed in his heart-why do these mindless trash always like to pick the young master's most critical moment to distract him?

The young master finally got the chance to meet the general, and Xiao Lang must not be disturbed.

With a firm heart, Xiao Lu clenched his fists and reminded: "My lord, the general will be here soon."

Yan Nanhui hummed hesitantly - of course he knew the importance of the matter, no matter how much he missed Xiao Lang, he couldn't immediately withdraw and go back like a fool who didn't know the general idea.

"Young master, don't worry, I'll go back and see how he's doing."

Xiaolu took the initiative to invite Ying, Yan Nan said with a sigh of relief: "That's fine, Xiaolu, your thoughts have always been the most delicate. I don't worry if you go."

Xiaolu forced a smile at him, and returned to the old house with a heart full of sadness.

Xiao Lang sat on the bed with his back as straight as a plum blossom gun.He has been locked here for so long, but the habits he has developed over the years have not caused him to arch his back once, or show a decadent breath.

This kind of stubbornness that is almost ignorant of current affairs is particularly glaring in Xiaolu's eyes, and he can't wait to go up and break him.

Hearing footsteps coming from the door, Xiao Lang slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing the person coming from the door, there was an imperceptible light of tension in the black eyes.

The last key element is finally here.

There were four dishes and one soup carefully prepared on the table, but it was already cold without taking a few bites.

Xiaolu took a cursory glance, walked up to Xiao Lang and stood still: "Young Master Xiao, have a bad appetite?"

Xiao Lang laughed: "I still feel strange, why did you come to see me all of a sudden, to care about me?"

Passionate.

"We are ordered to take good care of Mr. Xiao. If Mr. Xiao feels unwell, we must be careful to deal with it."

"Is it because the food prepared by the kitchen is not to your liking?" Xiaolu said lightly, "This is already the third batch of cooks. If they don't do well again, we will drive them all out and choose new ones for Mr. Xiao."

His businesslike tone made Xiao Lang laugh uncontrollably, he turned his body and said: "To be honest, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask you."

"In the eyes of you and Yan Nanhui, what kind of person am I?"

Xiao Lang said: "Do you all think that a bad and good person like me must have a personality that can't say no, can't see others suffer because of me, so he will agree to anything?"

Xiao Lu looked at him coldly, and Xiao Lang said again: "You two, you should read less quack scripts on weekdays, not everyone will be at the mercy of others just because of a little sympathy."

Xiao Lu only thought that he was deliberately mocking himself, and said coldly: "It seems that Mr. Xiao is in good health, so I can rest assured." He started to leave.

"Wait!" Xiao Lang called to stop him: "You can't hear a single sound in this ghostly place all day long. We finally got to chat alone. Don't leave in such a hurry."

"You can't tell me what to say."

"You are Yan Nanhui's most trusted subordinate, I know your mouth must be very strict." Xiao Lang said: "I don't ask you about the situation outside, I just want to talk about things about you."

Xiao Lu stood there and hesitated for a while, Xiao Lang said, "How long have you followed Yan Nan back?"

"What do you want to know about this?" Xiaolu looked at him suspiciously.

"It's just pure curiosity." Xiao Lang said: "After all, you were the one who helped him bring me here. I want to know how many years of relationship is worth your dedication for him."

Xiaolu had a gloomy face, and his voice was like ice scum: "You don't need to take care of the matters between me and the young master."

"I guess, it must not be short." Looking at his increasingly ugly face, Xiao Lang secretly grasped the edge of the bed, arched one leg, and said to himself: "Otherwise, why would he keep you in the bed?" By his side? But it's strange to say that when I first met him, he was hunted down to the extreme, why weren't you by his side then?"

"Shut up!"

At that time, the incident happened suddenly, the young master hastily left the palace, and he was transferred away again.When I came back again, I couldn't get in touch with anyone, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty were spreading rumors that the young master was burned to ashes by a fire...

That was my most tormented and most desperate memory.

"Could it be that he didn't trust you completely, so that he didn't take you with him at the most critical moment?"

"I said shut up!" After provoking one after another, Xiaolu lost his mind in an instant, stepped forward and slapped him in the face——

Just waiting for this moment!

Xiao Lang avoided sideways, knocked hard on the back of the opponent's neck with his elbow, and at the moment Xiaolu fell to the bed, he grabbed his arms with his backhand and pulled them in a certain direction.

With a click, Xiaolu couldn't help crying out in pain, and the guards outside heard the movement and broke into the door.

Xiao Lang turned around, kicked the man to the ground, then took out a small bag of powder from his bosom, and poured it into his eyes.

The guard let out a miserable scream, Xiao Lang didn't stop for a moment, he dragged the man to the side of the bed, tore off the sheet and blocked his mouth.

Xiaolu stumbled and fled towards the door, Xiao Lang kicked up the guard's dropped sword, and easily threw it in the direction of his escape.

With a sharp sound of wind, Jian Guang pierced into the wall in front of him, forcing Xiaolu to stop.

"Your martial arts..."

"Well, my acting skills aren't too bad." Xiao Lang took down his sword and held it against his throat: "Fortunately, you only add medicine to the food. If you also put medicine in the water, I can't guarantee that I can do it." Make sure that no water enters."

No wonder he finds all kinds of reasons to resist eating every time, he has already calculated it!

"Even if you can kill me, you can't escape from here." After being angry for a moment, Xiaolu quickly calmed down and said: "The people guarding outside are not like me, I don't believe that your martial arts have recovered enough to match They compete."

"Of course I can't rely on myself." Xiao Lang chuckled behind him: "Isn't it thanks to you. You are older than their qualifications, and they have to be more cautious when they take you out."

"You think too much." Xiaolu said: "I'm just a slave, the young master will not give up his plan because of me."

The people behind were silent for a moment, Xiao Lang sighed lightly, and said pitifully: "Xiao Lu, why do you belittle yourself like this."

Xiaolu's body shook slightly.

"You've been with him for so long, if he abandons you because of someone you've only been with for a few months, you should take this opportunity to see clearly that he's not worth your life to protect."

"I've said it before, the friendship between me and the young master is out of your control."

"Yes, I'm an outsider, no matter how much I try to persuade you, it's just a waste of time." Xiao Lang chuckled lightly, and put down his sword instead.

Xiaolu looked at him suspiciously.

"You love Yan Nan Hui, right?"

Xiaolu turned his head away: "What does it have to do with you?"

"You can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone." Xiao Lang looked at him calmly: "You can't hide the emotion of hating someone. Every time you look at me, no matter how hard you try to suppress it, I can still feel it." Come on, you hate me."

"But I think you're forgetting something."

"You don't have to cooperate with me, I can't get out of here." Xiao Lang said: "But you'd better think clearly, even if you give up your life today and trap me here, if I can hurt you today, there will always be someone One day I can find a chance to kill Yan Nanhui. Are you willing to take the risk of leaving me behind?"

"you!"

When Xiaolu moved, Xiao Lang immediately pointed his sword at him again: "I advise you to cooperate obediently, I don't know what Yan Nanhui told you about me, and I don't care what he thinks of me, but I I want to emphasize again, you don’t understand me, and the person I don’t like keeps forcing me, I will definitely try my best to kill him.”

"If you don't want him to get hurt, just keep your mouth shut. As long as you say one more word to the people outside, I won't make Yan Nan feel at ease even if the net is broken."

Xiaolu finally gave in.

Xiao Lang stood against him, walked to the door step by step, motioning for him to call for someone to open the door.

When the people outside saw him holding his sword against the path, they were all out of their wits, and subconsciously wanted to call for someone.

"Don't act rashly." Xiao Lang pushed the person away a few steps, his voice was not loud, but the coldness in his heart made everyone present feel creepy.

He moved the sword, and the tip of the sword was about to pierce Xiaolu's skin: "Go and prepare a horse for me, the sooner the better."

The guards outside heard the strange noise and ran in with their swords in hand. They saw him holding Xiaolu hostage, and they were in a dilemma for a while, not knowing what to do.

"I said, go and prepare a horse for me." Repeated the second time, the blade of the sword pierced the skin of the hostage, and blood rolled down from the neck like a string of beads.

The maids were all huddled together, watching Xiaolu's neckline turn from white to red in horror.

"Don't try to report the news first." Xiao Lang led people towards the door: "The longer the time drags on, the deeper the sword will cut. You don't want to watch him die in front of you, do you?"

Seeing that he actually stabbed the sword in, everyone was even more hesitant - if he really let him go, who would be responsible if the young master finds out afterwards?If it is taken by force, Xiaolu is the young master's confidant, and he cannot escape responsibility even if he is killed...

With a quick glance, Xiao Lang knew why they were suffering, he leaned close to Xiaolu's ear, and said softly: "Tell them to do what I say, otherwise I will give you twice the wound I stabbed on you today. Yannan is back."

Xiaolu gave him a hard look, gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, "Hurry up and do what he said!"

Now that Brother Xiaolu gave the order, it will be easier to explain then.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in a strange way, and hurriedly sent someone to bring Mara here.

Xiao Lang got on the horse against the people, and before leaving, he gave the people behind him a warning look: "If someone chases me, I'll cut him down, do you understand?"

Thinking of how he did not hesitate to strike just now, everyone nodded with lingering fear.

Xiao Lang swung the reins and galloped away, when he looked back, he saw the group of people running out in a hurry, he knew that he must be going to report the news to Yan Nan, so he tightened the reins a little.

The two of them ran all the way for a few miles, and the horse under their crotches was already panting with difficulty.

Xiao Lang had a bad heart, and this group of people actually kept an eye out and brought him an old horse.Immediately carrying two people on its back, if it continues like this, it won't be long before someone catches up.

He drove the horse into an alley, and pulled the alley down with one hand.Seeing that there was still blood gurgling on his neck, he took out a packet of medicine from his bosom and pressed it on his wound.

Xiaolu hissed and looked up at him: "Where did you get so much medicine?"

"It was stolen." Xiao Lang said, "You are still so fierce to save you."

Without waiting for the other party to reply, he tore off a few pieces of cloth from Xiaolu's body, stuffed them into his mouth under the terrified eyes of the other party, and then tied up his hands and feet: "I can't take you with me anymore, I feel wronged , wait here for someone to find out."

He stood up, thought for a while, and took out a valuable pendant from his waist: "Lend me this one too, thank you."

Regardless of the other party's ugly face, he threw the tightly tied alley into the family's backyard, Xiao Lang got back on his horse and escaped from the other side of the alley.

At the entrance of the carriage and horse shop, three or two guys were chatting with each other boredly.Suddenly, a handsome man walked in with strides. The clerk was taken aback, and hurried forward to meet him: "My lord, are you taking care of the business?"

"I want the fastest carriage here." Xiao Lang took out a jade ornament from his bosom, round and clear, with intricate carvings, and he knew it was worth a lot of money at a glance: "Hire another coachman and take me to the Jiangnan Martial Arts League branch .I'll pay double the price when it arrives safely."

The guy's eyes were glistening, he stepped forward to take the jade ornament, wiped it with the hem of his clothes: "No problem, no problem, when is your son leaving?"

"Immediately." Xiao Lang said, "The faster the speed, the better."

In order to recover his martial arts these days, Xiao Lang hardly ate properly.But the physical recovery was not complete enough, and it took a lot of effort to knock out the guard and escape, and then let him ride a horse by himself, I am afraid that he will not have enough energy.

He was penniless except for the jade ornament, so he had to ask the coachman to help him buy a water bag and dry food, and sat in the car to eat slowly.

The coachman was driving the horse outside, and chatted with him casually: "What are you doing at the Wulin League, sir, do you have acquaintances there?"

"Yes." Xiao Lang chuckled lightly, screwed the water bag back on, straightened his body and tried to practice kung fu: "Do you know how much time is left before the martial arts conference?"

The coachman counted: "There is only less than a month left, why, the young master also wants to go up and show his strength?"

Fortunately, the time has not expired.

Xiao Lang let out a sigh of relief, as long as there are no further incidents, he should be able to arrive safely.

I don't know what's going on with Shiji and Master...
