Chapter 208: Protecting the West Moon Kingdom (6)
Xiao Chuhan could never have imagined that the current situation in Xiyue Country would be so complicated! Although he had already sent Xingye to Chu State to move troops to reinforce Xiyue Country, the neighboring country was aggressive and pressing forward step by step. Even if Xingye rushed back to Chu State and then turned back, it would probably be too late by then. However, judging from the current situation, how could they resist the thousands of fierce troops of the neighboring country with only a few hundred soldiers? In this war, even if their strategy was ingenious, they would find it difficult to win if they were seriously short of troops.
Just when Xiao Chuhan and his companions were at a loss, a subordinate suddenly walked into the room and reported to Xiao Chuhan: "Master, someone wants to see Madam."
"Oh? Who wants to see the madam?" Xiao Chuhan frowned and asked his subordinates.
The subordinate shook his head, indicating that he did not know the other party's identity. He only heard that the visitor said that he had good news to tell the lady, but he could only meet the lady alone. Xiao Chuhan could not help but feel uneasy.
After hearing the news, Lan Xi walked up to Xiao Chuhan and said, "Since he said he has good news to tell me, I'll go meet him."
"No, what if he has ulterior motives?" Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi worriedly.
"Don't worry. If I really encounter danger, I will protect myself." Lan Xi comforted Xiao Chuhan and took the note handed over by his subordinates, which had the meeting place written on it.
In order to reassure Xiao Chuhan, Lan Xi came to Xiao Chuhan, handed him the note in her hand, and said: "If I don't come back before dark, come to find me at the address on the note." After Xiao Chuhan took the note, Lan Xi nodded at him again, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"Are you really okay alone?" Xiao Chuhan asked, still a little worried.
Lan Xi replied confidently: "Don't worry!"
At this time, Yue Jinlan also walked to Lan Xi. She patted Lan Xi's shoulder gently, with a hint of worry and concern in her eyes.
"You must be careful. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable and the world is dangerous." Yue Jinlan warned.
"Yes, I will." Lan Xi responded with a smile, indicating that she would protect herself.
After that, Lan Xi resolutely turned around and left, walking towards the meeting place. When Lan Xi arrived at the meeting place and opened the door, Ye Chen happened to turn around. The moment their eyes met, Lan Xi felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands.
Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly walked to Lan Xi's side, supported her, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Lan Xi suppressed her inner pain and shook her head at Ye Chen, indicating that she was fine. Ye Chen helped Lan Xi sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea. Lan Xi drank a few sips of tea slowly, and after a while, she felt the pain in her heart gradually eased.
Lan Xi looked up at Ye Chen, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Are you surprised to see me?"
Lan Xi smiled slightly and replied: "It is indeed a surprise. I never thought that we would meet again one day. I wonder why you asked me to meet you today?"
Lan Xi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then looked directly into Ye Chen's eyes. Lan Xi had never thought that she and Ye Chen would meet again since their last separation. Facing a man with the same appearance as Gu Tingyan, Lan Xi's heart would still change.
