Reborn: I Found The Wrong Brother

Ch. 87 - Zhong Yansheng: Big hooligan

After hearing Zhan Rong's attitude and instructions, as well as the Xiao family's jade token, and then hearing Zhong Yansheng utter the word "headache", everyone in the main account began to waver: "You..."Zhong Yansheng took a deep breath, suppressed his inner fear, and said firmly: "Trust me."

Xiao Nong was still waiting for him outside.

Only he can bring Xiao Nong back.

Everyone looked at each other and said without hesitation: "Then we'll leave it to you. We are deeply grateful and are willing to die in return!"

A group of tall and strong generals knelt down, which frightened Zhong Yansheng. He swallowed nervously and did not show any fear: "You are too kind. Prepare the horses for me."

The wind in the north is very fierce. When it blows on your face, it feels like a knife cutting your bones.

Zhong Yansheng had been sitting in a carriage all the way here. Now that he was riding on a horse, he realized how terrible the wind and snow were. When the wind blew onto his face, he could hardly breathe.

He was very afraid of the cold and wrapped himself tightly, but you could still see that he was very thin, as if he would be blown down if the wind was stronger, which was frightening to see.

Huo Shuang followed beside him on horseback, frowning as he watched his condition, worried: "Young prince, can you hold on? Why don't we go..."

Zhong Yansheng shook his head, lowered his body slightly, and shook the reins: "This is something only I can do - go!"

The horse under him started to gallop, and the man in black armor and his personal guards followed closely by his side, protecting Zhong Yansheng as they rushed out of the camp and followed the previous patrol route.

The vast snowfield is covered with ice for thousands of miles, and the rime is vast, covering the dead branches beside the road, like a dream.

Zhong Yansheng wore a hood and pulled up his scarf to cover his mouth and nose, slowing his breathing. Despite this, after riding for a while, he could still hear his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

After

Zhong Yansheng was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he anxiously poked him: "Hurry up and drink. If you don't drink, my pain will be in vain, right?"

These words seemed to move Xiao Nong. After a moment, he opened his lips, and Zhong Yansheng's blood flowed along his fingertips, sweetly and warmly into his throat.

Zhong Yansheng has always been afraid of seeing blood, and his head felt a little dizzy. He lay on top of him and put his wrist to his mouth, not daring to look there, feeling exhausted all over.

After a while, the painful wound was suddenly licked carefully by the slightly cool tip of the tongue.

Zhong Yansheng felt dizzy and thought that this amount of blood was not enough. He grasped the dagger and wanted to make another cut, but his hand was held down. The dagger fell to the ground with a clang and was knocked open by Taxue's claw.

Xiao Nong opened his eyes at some point and grabbed Zhong Yansheng's injured hand in the dim light, licking the wound and blood carefully bit by bit. His lips were stained bright red by Zhong Yansheng's blood, making him look gloomy and spooky, just like a ghost in a strange story book.

Zhong Yansheng opened his eyes wide**: "Brother?"**

But the next moment his voice was stuck.

When Xiao Nong raised his eyes, they were clearly misty, as if he was looking at him dimly through a sea fog.

Zhong Yansheng felt a chill in his heart, and Lou Qingtang's words came to his mind again.

"Xiao Nong's headache has become so serious that it has affected his mental state. He must not have it happen again. If it happens again, I'm afraid Xiao Nong will completely lose his mind."

Is he still late?

Xiao Nong cleaned his hands carefully, then took out a bottle of ointment from somewhere and applied it on his hands. Apart from not speaking, his behavior seemed normal.

Zhong Yansheng's tears were about to fall out. Seeing his actions, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope: "Brother, have you recovered?"

Seeing his tearful eyes, Xiao Nong leaned forward and kissed his eyes again, like a big dog that had made a mistake: "Master, don't cry."

Zhong Yansheng suddenly wanted to cry even more.

Really stupid.

He weakly pushed Xiao Nong away, preventing him from kissing him, and wiped his red eyes.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take Xiao Nong back and think of a solution.

Lou Qingtang has also come to Mobei. Maybe we can find a solution if we find Lou Qingtang.

Just as he was thinking of a solution, the secret guard outside the house rushed in again, bringing even worse news: "It's bad, young master, after the barbarian cavalry was led away, another barbarian team appeared and is about to pass by here!"

Xiao Nong and his men's horses ran away when they were coming over. The horses that Zhong Yansheng and his men had just ridden on were taken away by Huo Shuang and his men to divert the barbarian cavalry in front.

In the icy snowy plain, there was no other shelter except these small houses that were almost blown down by the wind and snow.

Without horses, they couldn't escape, and another group of barbarians appeared.

Huo Shuang and the others didn't know what was going on, and the reinforcements from the camp had not arrived yet.

If they run out now, they will definitely be more conspicuous than hiding in here.

Zhong Yansheng was a little desperate. He sat up and grabbed Xiao Nong's hand, deciding to take a gamble: "Hide here. If the barbarians want to search... I will go out and lead them away."

He is a member of the royal family of Dayong. After proving his identity, he may be of some use to the barbarians, and they can use him to negotiate with Dayong.

But Xiao Nong must not be exposed.

The barbarians hated Xiao Nong to death and would definitely kill him at all costs.

Holding his hand tightly, Zhong Yansheng saw Xiao Nong frowning in disapproval: "I, don't agree."

Zhong Yansheng frowned**: "A fool has no right to object."**

Xiao Nong was silent.

Just as Zhong Yansheng was about to jump off the bed, he heard the thunderous sound of cavalry approaching from afar, gradually moving towards the dilapidated house.

Zhong Yansheng's breathing became disordered and he prayed in his heart.

Daddy and mommy...please protect him and Xiao Nong again.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped outside a few dilapidated houses, and the target was accurate and clear.

Zhong Yansheng's heart sank suddenly.

There was some chatter outside, some Mongolian that he couldn't understand, and then he heard some Chinese mixed with Mongolian: "Yadagan, is the person you are looking for in here?"

Zhong Yansheng studied some files about the barbarians in the palace.

Yadagan is the name for shamans in the barbarian tribes. This is what Lou Qingtang told him. There are people in the barbarian tribes who are proficient in witchcraft, divination, praying to gods and curing diseases, and are highly respected by the barbarians.

Then he heard a female voice: "You guys step back."

There was another round of murmurs, as if the others were a little worried about her safety, but they were also intimidated by her words, and the sound of horse hooves retreated.

The footsteps gradually approached and stopped outside the dilapidated house. Through the cracks in the wall, Zhong Yansheng vaguely saw a tall woman.

The woman spoke standard Chinese, even with a hint of Beijing's accent: "The news from Beijing has reached the tribe. I divined a few days ago that you would come."

Zhong Yansheng's heart was beating very fast, and when he heard the woman's words, he looked at the secret guard in confusion.

What does this mean? Who is this barbarian shaman talking to?

"Zhong Yansheng."

The woman's voice was not very gentle, but she deliberately slowed down her speech and did not reveal any malice: "You and I should have been named Pei."

Zhong Yansheng was completely stunned when he was suddenly called out and heard the next sentence. He didn't react for a moment and responded subconsciously: "Who are you?"

The woman replied, "I haven't used my Chinese name for a long time. My previous name was Pei Yue."

Pei Yue.

Zhong Yansheng slowly remembered that the old emperor had several princesses.

Among them was the third princess, named Pei Yue, who was a close friend of Concubine Zhuang, who went crazy and was burned to death in the cold palace by the old emperor.

The third princess Pei Yue was only three years younger than the late crown prince Pei Xi. It was said that she had a very good relationship with the late crown prince, just like a real brother and sister. Not long after the Mobei Rebellion, her husband suddenly died of illness. Soon after, she was sent to Mobei to marry and there was no news of her since.

The already shaky door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and the woman outside walked in. She was not afraid of the knife handed to her by the secret guard, and her eyes fell directly on Zhong Yansheng.

After a moment, Pei Yue showed a faint smile.

"You do look a lot like my elder brother and his wife."

Zhong Yansheng stared at him blankly. It took him a long while to figure out what was going on. His mind was dizzy, and he slowly analyzed the relationship between him and the woman in front of him: "Are you my... aunt?"

A few days ago, he also found a lot of things in the old emperor's study, including portraits of his parents and other royal relatives. Naturally, there was also a portrait of the third princess Pei Yue who married far away in Mobei.

Zhong Yansheng was good at painting, and was also good at capturing the unique charm in other people's faces. Gradually, he felt familiar with the woman's face.

Although she looks different from when she was young, this person is indeed the third princess Pei Yue in the portrait.

When Zhong Yansheng secretly looked at her, Pei Yue also saw Zhong Yansheng's features clearly, and when she heard his address, her expression softened**: "Well, ever since I heard that my eldest brother's child is still alive, I have wanted to see you for a long time."**

Zhong Yansheng had an intuition that could distinguish other people's good intentions or bad intentions, and he did not detect any bad intentions from this woman.

The tense shoulders suddenly relaxed a little, and Zhong Yansheng called out obediently, "Hello, Auntie."

Seeing how well behaved he was, Pei Yue seemed even happier. After looking at Zhong Yansheng with satisfaction for a while, she turned her gaze to Xiao Nong who was protecting him like a bone**: "What is this?"**

Zhong Yansheng pondered it secretly in his mind.

His aunt was once a member of the royal family of Dayong, but after the incident that year, she was sent to marry a foreign prince. She must hate Dayong very much. He also guessed that the death of his aunt's husband was probably caused by the old emperor.

Although she is his aunt, she is also a barbarian Yadagan, so it is better not to reveal Xiao Nong's identity.

Zhong Yansheng quickly said, "Aunt, he is my male concubine from the Western Regions who I bought for 600,000 taels of silver."

Very expensive, can't afford.

The secret guard's hand trembled: "......"
