Hold On, General

Robbery…

The carriage galloped all the way out of Helan Mountain before slowing down slightly.

“Puff ha ha ha,” Yun Xian laughed in the carriage, “Hey brother, isn’t it, he really kissed you? So real?”

“Well, before I finished speaking…” Genius Long said, quietly kicking over, “Have you laughed enough!”

Yun Xian then converged a little, rubbing his face with gossip: “Did he stick out his tongue?”

“……”

“Since you have said everything, just say it all,” Yun Xian rubbed forward again, gently encouraging, “Let’s say it all, brother, you are not a girl, what are you embarrassed about?”

“Actually, I don’t know…” Genius Long said with difficulty, “My brain was blank at the time, and the time he kissed was short. Who knows if he has…”

Yun Xian couldn’t believe it: “It’s blank? I can’t see it, brother,” he was surprised, “I didn’t expect you to be quite innocent.”

“Innocent sister, I was just caught off guard,” Genius Long emphasized, “Caught off guard, understand?”

“Okay, okay,” Yun Xian nodded, and then asked, “How do you feel? Oh, I know you don’t remember. I mean, do you feel sick afterwards?”

“…” Genius Long sighed, telling the truth, “No.”

“Oh——” Yun Xian stretched his voice, extremely playful. Genius Long naturally knew what he meant, and said helplessly: “You don’t understand, in fact, there is something I haven’t told you.”

“Oh? Excuse me?”

“Facial paralysis has the same name as the killer who killed me, and has the same face.”

“…” Yun Xian was shocked, “So coincidental?”

Genius Long nodded: “When I first woke up, I thought it was the killer who tied me to a small courtyard in the suburbs and asked me to accompany him to play a costume drama. Don’t laugh when it’s enough. Listen to me continue,” he said slowly. “Later I learned that it was not. You feel deeper than me, and naturally, you know what it’s like to be alone in a strange world.”

Thinking of those days, Yun Xian couldn’t help but say, “It’s very uncomfortable, unaccompanied.”

“That’s it,” Genius Long said, “But at that time, there happened to be a person around me who looked like I had never known before. Even in the original world, that person was not good to me, and there was no friendship, but still…”

Yun Xian took it over: “But in this strange world, people still have a sense of intimacy, right?”

“Well, so although I was very upset with his face at first, I didn’t feel that my attitude towards him was closer than others. I know he has feeling for me. To be honest, I don’t hate it, but…” Genius Long said, “But I’m really not gay…”

“Hey, what does this have to do with whether you are gay or not? Didn’t you have no resistance to his kiss?” Yun Xian analyzed with a smile, “So you just don’t know what you think of him, in fact, I have a way,” He shrank back, and then said, “Brother, why don’t you just go to bed and try it?”

“…” Genius Long turned to look at him silently.

Yun Xian coughed dryly: “I’m just proposing, proposing.”

Genius Long originally wanted to scold him, but after seeing him for a long time, he suddenly noticed something and squinted forward: “Xiao Yunxian~ I found that you don’t seem to reject this kind of thing~ why?”

“……”

Genius Long pinched his chin: “Xiao Yunxuan, you have this face, and you were once a prisoner in an era when the south wind was flourishing. Well, I won’t ask about your “front”. Is there any chastity in the back?”

“……”

“Well, I get it,” Genius Long touched his head and asked with interest, “Who is your first man?”

“……”

“Don’t be so resistant, you pry so much gossip away from me, now it’s my turn,” Genius Long leaned over and smiled kindly, “Before you answer me another question, how many men have you had? Ten or twenty?”

Yun Xian seemed to be stimulated by his words, and blurted out: “Isn’t one okay? How many do you want me to have?”

“Oh~”

“…” Yun Xian silently buried his head in his palm, “You are simply too evil…”

Genius Long smiled: “Come on, tell me who his last name is.”

Yun Xian didn’t answer. He was thinking about how to change the subject, but he was surprised that the carriage stopped suddenly. The two of them were startled, only to hear Muzi whispering: “Young master, there is someone blocking the road ahead.”

Genius Long was surprised: “Who?”

“Bandit.”

“Bandit wow.” Genius Long said excitedly, and he glanced at Yun Xian. The two hurriedly opened the curtain, only to hear Muzi add in a low voice: “It’s not us who robbed.”

The two of them looked up. There were two carriages parked on the road in front of them, and a team of people stood sideways in front of the carriage. The man who was the leader had thick eyebrows and big eyes, carrying a long knife, and riding on a horse looked at them condescendingly. The coachmen of the two carriages did not wait for him to speak, and he was so scared that he ran away. The man didn’t mind, letting them run away, he stared at the carriage in front and waved his hand.

The person behind him was ordered to quickly step forward and drag the people in the carriage down, and then separate a few people to the second carriage and start moving things down.

“You… you are so courageous… do you know who I am?” The person in the carriage was fat and big-eared. At first glance, he was a rich man. He was followed by a suave young man. The man was taller than him, but he squeezed a square scarf straight into his hands and said, “Daye, Lunjia is so scared…so scared…Will they do to us?”

No matter how cold the scene looked, Genius Long and Yun Xian shook suddenly, and the mountain thief couldn’t help but stiffen. The corners of the mouth of the leader twitched slightly, and then he returned to his senses and said: “I don’t care who you are, don’t talk if you want to live.”

The fat man seemed to have never seen such a scene, his face turned pale with horror, but he still trembled: “I tell you, my uncle is the chief official in the capital, how dare you rob me, I…ah…” Before he finished speaking, a mountain thief put a knife around his neck: “Shut up!”

His legs suddenly softened and he collapsed on the ground.

The person in his arms did not fall down with him, but stood aside and continued to pinch the square scarf: “I’m so scared… I’m so scared… I haven’t even pinched an ant to death. What can I do if I see blood with this knife? Lunjia will faint…really…”

“…” The bandit couldn’t help but say, “The knife is not on your neck again.”

The man didn’t seem to hear it, he said, “Ah, Lunjia is so scared…so scared…”

“……”

Genius Long and Yun Xian glanced at each other. These bandits simply regarded them as air. The little prince ordered Muzi to drive the carriage forward and stop beside the two carriages.

The bandits originally thought that the people in this carriage would wait for them to finish the robbery before rushing on the road, or simply turn around and flee in fright, but they didn’t expect to come up. Only then did the fat man notice the existence of the third carriage, as if he had seen a saviour, he shouted: “Help, help!”

Genius Long and others came down and walked slowly through the carriage to him: “I heard that your uncle is a senior official, then we will save you. How much do you give us?”

The fat man looked up and was startled for a moment. He almost forgot to be afraid. These two people are really handsome. He would never let go of these stunners. Not only him, but the young man also stopped crying and looked curiously.

At this time, the person in charge could no longer pretend that he hadn’t seen them, and said coldly: “Who are you? Don’t worry others if you don’t want to die!”

Genius Long looked up at him and said in surprise: “I just wanted to ask, don’t you even say some lines during the robbery?”

The man was startled: “Lines?”

Yun Xian smiled: “Like what, I drove this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you can leave money to buy roads and so on.”

The man was startled again, nodded and said, “It makes sense,” and then ordered his opponent, “Write down this sentence, and we will say that next time.”

“Yes.”

Genius Long and Yun Xian: “…”

The man asked again: “Who are you?”

Genius Long still didn’t answer, pointing to the person who kept moving things: “Actually, I still want to ask, since there is no one in that carriage, wouldn’t you just take it back to the cottage? Isn’t it too tiring to move around?”

The bandits who were moving things were startled, and they looked at the man with painful expressions on their faces.

“…” The man was startled and nodded slowly, “Yes…it makes sense, come on, put it back.”

“……yes.”

Genius Long and Yun Xian: “…”

The man asked for the third time, and he was simply angry: “Who the hell are you?!”

“We are just passing by,” Genius Long said, looking down at the fat man, “We save you, how much do you give?”

The fat man hurriedly said, “As long as you save me, I will give you as much as you want. My uncle has plenty of money.”

“How about five thousand taels?”

“Good!”

Genius Long and Yun Xian looked at each other. This is equivalent to five hundred taels of gold. How big is this official? Genius Long ordered: “Xiao Yun Xian, let him make a note, don’t forget to let him write his uncle’s name on it.”

Yun Xian responded and went back to the carriage to get a brush and paper. The young man next to him was startled and looked at Yun Xian silently. Genius Long glanced at him and secretly said that this person had heard of Yun Xian’s name?

Yun Xian came back soon and asked the fat man to sign. The bandit leader seemed to have never seen anyone like them. He kept watching in silence, while his subordinates continued to put back, and soon they all put to be back: “Boss, it’s over.”

He nodded, finally looked at the young man, and said, “This little man looks quite Peugeot, come on, take him…”

Before he finished speaking a word, the young man suddenly plunged into the arms of Genius Long. Although he was taller than Genius Long, he still had no regrets: “Lunjia is so scared, what are they going to do…really…”

Genius Long: “……”

Yun Xian: “……”

“…” The man froze when he saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he swallowed all the rest of the words back. He didn’t even pay attention to Genius Long and the others, but ordered, “Go, go back to the village.”

“Hey, wait,” Genius Long hurriedly shouted, he tore away the person in his arms, “Don’t go yet, we said we want to save people, you have to let us look like it, right?”

“What do you want?”

Genius Long patted Muzi: “Fight with him. If you win, you will take away the looted things along with this little man. If you lose, you will divide the things in half.”

The man thought for a while: “Why do I think we are suffering…”

Genius Long raised his eyebrows: “Dare not?”

The man suddenly became angry: “Whoever says he doesn’t dare, come here!” As he said, he dismounted and stepped forward carrying a long knife. Muzi was expressionless and slowly drew the sword out.

“Come on,” Genius Long greeted the remaining bandits, “Buy and leave, place a bet.”

Those bandits were already good at gambling, and both of them were not at the point where you die and you live. At this time, they stepped forward one after another, and almost all of them pressed their boss. Yun Xian knew what he was up to, so he pressed Muzi, and Genius Long was the dealer, and he didn’t press anything. 

The bandits took a look and secretly said that if the boss loses, they will lose all of them. Someone wanted to press Muzi. Genius Long suddenly raised his voice: “As a younger brother, you don’t even believe in your own boss. Why do you embarrass your boss?”

Everyone suddenly looked at him in unison, their eyes like knives, the man shivered, and took the gambling money back to change the press on the boss.

Genius Long continued: “And you, the boss of your own family working hard there, so you just press this point, isn’t it clear that you don’t believe him? You guys broke his heart!”

The bandits were ashamed of what he said and hurriedly paid for it. Some people didn’t want to, but the situation forced them to do so.

The fat man was already so frightened that he was speechless and looked blankly, while the young man on the side turned his eyes and stepped forward with a smile, pressing Muzi.

Genius Long glanced at him, saying nothing.

The winner was quickly determined over there. Muzi was the best guard in the world. Naturally, he had nothing to say about his skills. He quickly put his sword against the man’s throat. The man fought very happily. He didn’t become angry when he lost. He smiled and said: “Good skills!”

Muzi clenched his fists: “Concede.” Then walk back.

The man said, “I’m willing to bet, and I’ll give you half of the stuff. Come on, give it to them.”

Everyone was silent, as if they hadn’t heard what he said, but looked at… their silver with desperate, tearful eyes, that’s a lot of money!

“……”

The young man was happy. He was going to take his own gambling capital. Genius Long took all the money, patted his face, and thought to himself, Don’t think I can’t see that you are together. He smiled and said, “The money you win will be regarded as a thank you for saving you. That’s it.”

That person: “……”

In the end, those things were moved down by the boss of the bandit himself. He finished moving silently and then left with a look of shock and chaos under the eyes of his subordinates.

Genius Long kicked the fat man: “Here, that carriage is for you, go by yourself.”

The fat man then returned to his senses: “My money and things…”

“We said to save you, but we didn’t say anything to save your things,” Genius Long threw some broken silver. “Keep this for dinner. If you save some money, you should be able to get to the capital. Oh, of course, the premise is that you know how to save.”

The fat man was angry, but seeing Muzi on the side, he could only give up: “You’d better not let me see you in the capital, otherwise I want you to look good!”

After he finished speaking, he left. Genius Long took the newly earned money and led Yun Xian back to the carriage. The young man stepped forward with a smile: “Daye~ You saved Lunjia, and Lunjia will be yours from now on.”

Yun Xian stood aside with a smile and watched, while Genius Long patted his hand blankly: “If you want to follow, don’t be so affectionate, I’m not familiar with you.”

“……”

The man narrowed his eyes at their backs and gave a low “hey”, playfully: “Interesting.”

The carriage was full of new trophies, so the man had to sit outside with Muzi, and before Yun Xian got into the carriage he asked, “What’s your name?”

The man squirmed: “I’ve been with you guys, so you can call me whatever you want.”

Yun Xian raised his eyebrows, then turned his eyes and smiled: “Well, well, they say that cheap lives are good, so let’s call you,  Xiao Cao(小草: Grass).

“Yes.”

A few people returned to the road and travelled to Chang’an. It was already evening. They found a famous inn to stay in, and then they ate together. Yun Xian looked at Xiao Cao and blinked at Genius Long with bad intentions: “Brother, do you remember the question we discussed? Since you don’t know what you think about the opposite sex, why don’t you try this to see if you are straight or not.”

The corner of Genius Long’s mouth twitched: “I’m not interested.”

“No, try it, it’s better to say that the object can only be facial paralysis, but he is not here now, where can you find it…” Yun Xian said suddenly stopping.

Genius Long was surprised: “What?”

Yun Xian didn’t answer and raised his hand stiffly.

Genius Long turned his back to the gate of the inn, then slowly turned his head and was shocked.

General Gu knew that the two of them would not go out of Shenghua, and the only prosperous town near Helan Mountain was Chang’an, so he rode his horse all the way, and then found the present in every inn, and finally, he found it.

The power on his body was very heavy, and he looked straight at them. Xiao Cao knew that this person must be of great origin. He turned his eyes and plunged into the arms of Genius Long with a look of fear: “Daye, who is he?”

General Gu stiffened and came and sat down.

Genius Long had already been shocked, and he had no time to take care of the person in his arms for a while: “Why are you here?”

General Gu was silent and calm. And calmly put the kitchen knife he had brought from the military camp on the table, and coldly looked at Yun Xian who had eloped with Xiao Wang Ye, and then at the little groom who was obviously not like the little groom, without saying a word.

Xiao Cao: “……”

Genius Long, Yun Xian, Muzi: “…”
