Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 329 Encounter

"It's the first time I've seen Huo Zhan's face."

Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Gui Chen glanced at the girl who was fiddling with the cloth bag on her lap, and spoke with a complicated expression.

It's so complicated because he's in a situation where he wants to laugh but thinks he can't.

When they left, Huo Zhan's face looked like he wanted to eat people, but he couldn't eat and choked.As a son of an aristocratic family who has been educated to hide his emotions and anger from an early age, this is really very rare. Gui Chen thinks that if he is seven years old but not seventeen, he will definitely laugh when he sees it.

But he also had a lot of responsibility for the conflict just now, and he really couldn't laugh when he thought of it.

"Probably treats me like a hot potato," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, raised her head, and looked at the young man in front of her.

In Huo Zhan's imagination, he might spend the next three days being dragged down by her and hiding in Tibet. His youthful spirit is gone forever, which makes him extremely sad.

But to be honest, seeing that boy's livid face, she really wanted to tell him that she was thinking too much.

But Ying Xun saw that his face was not right, and added, "Ah Zhan, you just do your best in everything. After all, you are not the princess' iron guard."

After speaking, he glanced at Gui Chen lightly, "A certain person has his own bodyguard, so naturally he trusts his iron guard."

Huo Zhan was startled, and Gui Chen's expression changed.

"At this time, he just finds it troublesome, but if something really happens, we can't expect him to help," Ying Baoyue said while looking at Gui Chen.

Ying Xun's treatment of her body is just a matter of face, while Huo Zhan is more of a formality. If any accident happens, the biggest thing for that person is to take him out, and it's fine if he didn't cause it. What? The charges against the guards have nothing to do with them.

Gui Chen heard that his nails dug deeply into his palm.

"Mingyue," he said suddenly, looking at the girl who was focusing on examining the broken sword on her knee after speaking, "What Huo Zhan said before..."

"what's up?"

Gui Chen paused, closed his eyes and said, "It's about self-dismissal."

Ying Baoyue lowered her head and was slightly startled, then raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her.

"I remember you said that it is your wish to participate in the primary ceremony." She looked at Gui Chen and said.

"That's right, but I don't necessarily have to participate in this session," Gui Chen endured the dull pain in his heart and said, "As Huo Zhan said, I'm only waiting for the tenth rank, so even if I participate, I won't get anything, maybe it's in vain Take your life, and..."

"to be frank."

He still wanted to find a reason, but was interrupted by the girl in front of him.

Gui Chen's shoulders trembled, he looked at the clear eyes that were close at hand, then he closed his eyes and spoke softly.

"Do our best to protect the glory of the princess."

Ying Baoyue was taken aback.

This is the oath he made when he chased her carriage to become her iron guard.

"But in my current state, not to mention being able to keep His Highness's glory, it may even drag you down." Gui Chen looked at Ying Baoyue and said, and the next moment he overcame the deepest dull pain and said that sentence.

"The one who is suitable to protect His Highness should at least be at the level of Huo Zhan..."

With a bang, Gui Chen suddenly stopped speaking, covered his forehead, and stared blankly at Ying Baoyue who withdrew his hand.

"What are you thinking?" Ying Baoyue looked at the opposite boy who fell into self-doubt because of the reunion with Fa Xiao, "Whether you can be an Iron Guard has nothing to do with your realm."

"If anyone has a high realm, stay by his side..." She looked at him speechlessly, "Then I should stay in Qing'an Yuan and not go out."

Shouldn't he stay by Ji Jiashu's side?Gui Chen thought out of time.

"Besides, no matter how high Huo Zhan's realm is, he won't help me at the critical moment," Ying Baoyue said lightly, unless it is beneficial to him and the Huo family, the current behavior of that young man should be So.

"What does his realm have to do with me?"

Ying Baoyue looked at Gui Chen and said, "Friend, guard, brother, you are you, the one I hope to participate in the primary ceremony with."

Back then on Lishan Mountain, the one who skipped rope with her to gather herbs and dreamed of becoming a cultivator was the young man in front of her.

"Do you remember our one-year agreement?" She quietly stared at the boy in front of her, "If you choose to stop here, then you may not be able to move forward."

Gui Chen was shocked.

"I..." He looked at Ying Baoyue, only to see the girl in front of him smiling, "I think it's better for you to admit it."

"Admit what?" He asked in a daze.

"Admit that you are afraid." Ying Baoyue said.

Yes, fear.He had too many reasons, but in the end it was his fear.He was afraid of being looked down upon, suspected, dragged down, and even more afraid... She was disappointed in him.

Afraid that she would be hurt because of his incompetence.

He left the small courtyard, but what Huo Zhan said today made him realize that somewhere in his heart was still locked in that small courtyard.

Gui Chen nodded, and said calmly, "I'm afraid."

"It's great if you can say it," Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled, "This is the first step."

It is impossible for anyone not to be afraid, just like when she was hunted down for the first time, when she stood on the battlefield for the first time, when she realized that she had lost her memory for the first time...

But it is not terrible to be afraid, what is terrible is to stand still.

"Then, the second step, let's walk out together," Ying Baoyue held out his hand to Gui Chen, just like when she was in the carriage and he was outside the carriage.

Gui Chen grabbed her hand.

"Let's go together," Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

"Well," Gui Chen nodded, at this moment he understood that he was not only her bodyguard, but also her comrade in arms.

He couldn't leave her alone on this road.

And she wouldn't leave him alone.

Once again, she brought him out of the small courtyard.

"Let's go together," Gui Chen said, "I will do my best to become stronger."

"Well, I have ambition," Ying Baoyue nodded, "but before that..."

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, "You don't need to worry that much."

Gui Chen was taken aback, "This is..."

"Because you won't be at rank ten forever," Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled.

Gui Chen's heart beat violently, "Mingyue, you mean..."

"Well, I have something to tell you when I get to Qing'anyuan," Ying Baoyue looked at him and said, then raised the curtain of the car and raised the broken sword in his hand, "But before that, I have to forge the sword first." it is good."

Gui Chen nodded, it seemed that they had arrived at the place they were going on the way.

The carriage stopped outside a blacksmith's shop, which is an excellent place in Danyang City, and there are stalls outside the blacksmith's shop, cheap jewelry hairpins, candied haws and candied snacks, everything you expect.

Guichen and Ying Baoyue got off the car and went straight to the blacksmith shop, but halfway there, Guichen found that the girl next to her suddenly stopped and looked at...a stall selling candied haws.

"Mingyue?" Gui Chen saw that he was reaching for the copper baht, "Want to eat?"

"Ah..." Ying Baoyue was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment, there was a woman's coughing in the air.

"Ahem, are you there?"

"Miss! This stall is still there!"

It was the voice of a little servant girl. Gui Chen heard the voice and saw two women standing beside the candied haws stand, a master and a servant.

The woman who was coughing was wearing a veiled hat and had a frail figure. A master and a servant were walking side by side to the candied haws stall. At this moment, accompanied by a sharp roar, a startled horse suddenly rushed out from the downtown street.

"The horse is startled!"

"Run!"

"Miss!"

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the woman in the veiled hat tried to escape in a panic, but stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell forward!
The little girl beside her was pushed away and screamed.Everyone was running away and couldn't take care of themselves. The woman in the veiled hat closed her eyes and fell to the ground in resignation.

But the next moment, the expected tragedy did not happen.

With a gust of breeze, the girl raised her head in a daze, and looked at another woman who was supporting her.

"Are you OK?"

And at this moment, the curtain of the veiled hat was blown up by the wind, and she saw the woman supporting her startled slightly the moment she saw her face.

　Guess who she is
