Chapter 268: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 11
However, the person who interested her soon appeared. In the blink of an eye, there was an extra person sitting next to her.
"Hey, little brother, you're here. Your Qinggong is pretty fast."
This guy's kung fu is really good. He can catch up with her speed on horseback just by relying on his lightness skills. He can be considered a leader in this world.
It's a pity that he met someone like her who relied on cheating skills. The little boy's self-confidence would probably be hit.
Hearing her praise, Yun Yan snorted proudly: "I am an unprecedented martial arts genius in my family. It's just that I'm young and haven't practiced martial arts for a long time that I lost to you."
"Oh~ I see. That's such a pity. Little brother, you should go back and practice for a few more years before coming back. But what about the person you want to protect? Will nothing happen to him if you don't stay with him?"
Yun Yan didn’t think so much at all. He just wanted to catch up with Chu Yuan and seek justice.
As for what kind of justice he should seek, he himself didn't know. People gave him money so that he wouldn't starve, but he always felt that something was wrong. Anyway, he felt that he was bullied by this woman.
Yun Yan felt a little embarrassed that he had forgotten something important, but he had already walked so far, so he had to run back again? He would be exhausted to death, even if he had good Qinggong, he would not use it like this.
"You didn't follow me either, didn't you? How dare you criticize me?"
Chu Yuan stretched out his index finger and shook it at Yun Yan: "No, no, no, you are one person, but I am two people. My maid is following behind, and she is enough to protect me."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan felt even more bitter and resentful, as he had lost to this woman again.
But a man of insight makes a wise man, Yun Yan decided to use his method of acting like a spoiled child again, which was what his brothers and sisters always fell for at home.
"Good sister, can you do me a small favor? Tell your maid to help me and protect someone at the same time. Just for this morning. I will definitely follow you closely from now on."
Looking at his big blinking eyes, Chu Yuan knew that this was her chance. She coaxed the child opposite her in a gentle and persuasive way: "Well... you can, but you have to tell me who you want to protect."
When Yun Yan saw that she agreed, he didn't think much about it: "That's great, thank you sister!"
After he finished speaking, he looked around to see if there was anyone else around. He leaned over to Chu Yuan's ear and whispered, "Sister, the person I want to protect is Lu Xiuzhu, the tall and white one in the exile team."
Chu Yuan obtained important information and started to think about it in his mind.
Lu Xiuzhu is the eldest son of General Lu Nanfeng. These people protected him, probably because they wanted to protect the direct bloodline of the Lu family.
Judging from Yun Yan's naive appearance, he should be a young master trained by a large family. However, I have never heard of any family with the surname Yun in the capital.
If he wanted to know the deeper inside story, he had to start with the silly boy next to him. In order to gain his trust, Chu Yuan blew a whistle from his waist.
Not long after, a carrier pigeon flew over. She wrote the name Lu Xiuzhu on a piece of paper, wanting to send a message to Xia Yu openly.
But Yun Yan, who was watching from the side, stopped her: "Sister, you only wrote a name. How did your maid know that you were going to protect him? You should have written the word 'protect' in front, and then write my description of him at the end - tall and white."
Chu Yuanyuan looked at him meaningfully. This little guy was really long-winded. He had already conveyed the precise instructions to Xia Yu through the system a long time ago. Now the message was just for show.
However, Chu Yuan still wrote a new note according to his request. After all, he was still useful to him, so he might as well coax him a little.
Seeing the carrier pigeon fly out, Yun Yan let out a long sigh: "Sister, thank you so much today."
Chu Yuan waved his hand: "Nothing, I just like to do good deeds."
At the same time, the carrier pigeon, which had left their sight, fell instantly, and the words on the note disappeared.
Chu Yuan didn't prepare any carrier pigeons in advance. The one just now was just attracted by her whistle. Who knows where it will pass the message.
Fortunately, when I was in the world of immortal cultivation, I loved collecting these strange things, such as whistles that can attract carrier pigeons, small trumpets that can disguise the roar of a tiger, and various small gadgets with unexpected functions. Now they come in handy.
Considering that she had helped him, Yun Yan's attitude towards Chu Yuan became much better, and the two of them sat together and chatted and laughed.
Chu Yuan tried to get a lot of information out of his words, and in the end she couldn't bear to ask anymore.
Can someone please take this young master back home quickly? If he continues like this, his true identity will be exposed. What if he runs into bad guys outside?
The information Chu Yuan has learned so far is that the Yun family is not a family, but some kind of organization. The people in this organization are not related by blood (except this guy and his brother who has been mentioned several times), but they all have the surname Yun.
This organization has nothing to do with the Lu family, because Yun Yan looked down on Lu Xiuzhu and had no intention of protecting him at all.
But their master wanted to leave a direct bloodline for the Lu family, so anyone in the exile team could die, except Lu Xiuzhu.
Chu Yuan was very curious about who the leader of this organization was. Judging from his relationship with the Lu family, this person was most likely the Regent Nangong Chen.
But if it is Nangong Chen’s power, there is no need to be so secretive to protect an individual.
Anyway, he likes to go against the emperor the most, so why not just send someone to walk beside Lu Xiuzhu openly? It can also deter those who are plotting in secret.
Chu Yuan didn't know the answer behind this, because according to Yun Yan's narration, he had lived with his brother since he was a child. He had never seen the owner of the house and had never been assigned any tasks.
Although he has great talent in martial arts, he is spoiled by his brothers and sisters and has almost no ability to take care of himself, so he is commonly known as a good-for-nothing.
As for protecting Lu Xiuzhu, it was actually his brother's task, but this guy wanted to sneak out to play, so when he stole the token, he also took out the letter with the task written on it.
But Yun Yan, who was inexperienced in the world, had no idea how to protect someone. He thought that all he had to do was make sure he didn't get killed.
He didn't even think about finding some food or thick clothes for him, in case Lu Xiuzhu would starve or freeze to death on the road.
