Chapter 138 – Inevitably, There Will Always Be A Cannon Fodder Who Will Put Himself In Danger.

When Xiao YuAn arrived at the East Street Inn with his luggage on his back, he saw that the soldiers dressed in black, who had come looking for Yan HeQing, were now gathering at the entrance of the Inn, comforting the horses that were puckering their hooves beside them.

Xiao YuAn had asked Yan HeQing before, and these soldiers couldn’t recognize his face as the Northern Emperor, so as Xiao YuAn walked over boldly. Deputy General Chen, who he saw howling like a bear before, greeted Xiao YuAn enthusiastically once he saw him approaching the Inn: “Physician Xiao! Here, here!”

Xiao YuAn walked over a few steps, turned his head to look around, and asked with curiosity: “Where’s Yan HeQing?”

When they heard that Xiao YuAn unapologetically called Yan HeQing by his full name, several soldiers frowned and coughed. Then they remembered that he was their Emperor’s benefactor who had saved his life. Besides, he will also be their future army physician, so in the end, they didn’t say anything.

“His Majesty said that he was going to buy something, so he asked us to wait for him here.” Deputy General Chen enthusiastically explained to Xiao YuAn.

Xiao YuAn nodded, inclined his head to look at the horses beside the soldiers, and asked: “There’s no carriage?”

Deputy General Chen rubbed the back of his head awkwardly: “Physician Xiao, we’re so eager to return as soon as possible, that even traveling with horses is too slow for us, so how can we possibly take a carriage?”

Xiao YuAn smiled helplessly and spread his hands: “Then it’s over, I don’t know how to ride a horse. Why don’t you tie me to the side of a horse and transport me like that to the barracks?”

“Hahahahahahahahaha Physician Xiao is so funny. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a ride.” As soon as Deputy General Chen said this, Yan HeQing came from afar on a white horse. When the soldiers saw him, all of them respectfully saluted him after mounting the horses, ready to depart at any time.

“Come on Physician Xiao, come up. I ride steadily so I won’t bump into you.” Deputy General Chen pulled the reins tightly, bent down sideways, and extended his hand towards Xiao YuAn enthusiastically.

Xiao YuAn smiled at him: “No need, I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Deputy General Chen was stunned: “How can I get hurt over this? Is Physician Xiao worried that riding with me will cause an inconvenience? Don’t worry about that, I’m very steady on my horse! Come on, get up here!” After he said this, he waved at Xiao YuAn.

Xiao YuAn smiled at his naivety, shook his head, and then turned towards Yan HeQing, waving his hand and shouting: “Yan-ge! I don’t know how to ride a horse!”

Yan HeQing, dressed in white and riding a majestic white horse, looked elegant and handsome; just like a scene of winter with stunning colors. When Yan HeQing heard Xiao YuAn’s words, he didn’t hesitate to hit the horse to run forward.

Xiao YuAn often remembered the day they parted ways, and how Yan HeQing’s eyes dropped after he threw the hairpin on the ground. At the time, Xiao YuAn didn’t understand why Yan HeQing’s eyes, who had always looked indiferent, were red at the moment, and why he had such a sad expression on his face. But now, he finally knew why. So, every time Xiao YuAn remembered that scene, the puzzlement and confusion turned into a faint guilt.

Ever since knowing Yan HeQing’s feelings, Xiao YuAn would occasionally think: ‘If everything was made clear at the beginning, what kind of situation would it be like now?’

Now, when he looked at Yan HeQing on horseback, Xiao YuAn inevitably remembered that day again. The only difference this time was that the person who was once galloping far away from him, was now riding his horse towards him.

Yan HeQing, in front of Xiao YuAn, pulled back the reins of the horse, making the horse stand sideways to Xiao YuAn and extended out his hand to him.

Xiao YuAn smiled at him and held Yan HeQing’s hand tightly.

In front of everyone, Yan HeQing pulled Xiao YuAn onto the horse, and wrapped his hands around his body to protect him. Then he raised the whip and galloped the horse, leaving only dust behind.

Deputy General Chen was stunned: “As expected of a life-saver benefactor, he’s even worthy of riding the same horse together with His Majesty.”

The several soldiers looked far and wide, agreed with each other, and unanimously set their horses into a gallop to follow after their Emperor.
