Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 128: Sneak Attack

As Tang Yan sat behind his desk, he stared at the two ravenous guards sitting in the corner. Finally, he could take it no longer and coughed twice on purpose.

The guards were so focused on eating their thin, tender slices of rabbit meat that they didn't even raise their heads.

Tang Yan's expression turned stormy. He stood up and walked towards the guards.

One of the guards spared a glance at Tang Yan before turning back to his food and eating even faster.

Wave after wave of that delicious-smelling rabbit hotpot attacked Tang Yan's senses. Coupled with how the guards were wolfing down their food, Tang Yan felt himself getting even hungrier. When he saw that there wasn't much left in the bowl, Tang Yan quickly said, "How is the taste of Honoured Lady's food?"

The two guards hurriedly nodded. In their rush to eat, they couldn't even speak; they simply gave two thumbs up.

Tang Yan hadn't expected these two guys to be so thick. They couldn't understand what he was getting at all.

"How tasty is it?"

One of the guards replied around a mouthful of meat, "Sir, you follow His Highness Prince Jin every day, so you must eat good food really often. You can't possibly be trying to fight with us for this hotpot, right? You just bestowed this to us too!"

Tang Yan didn't know how to reply to that. His face flushed red and he harrumphed. Then, he began to scold them. "All you know how to do is eat! What a bunch of gluttons! Hurry up and eat faster. Can't you tell that the whole tent smells like rabbit hotpot now?"

Actually, Tang Yan's reminder was completely unnecessary. In less than fifteen minutes, the whole bowl of steaming rabbit hotpot had disappeared down the gullets of the two guards. There wasn't even a single drop of soup left.

Tang Yan wanted to kick both of them out of his tent in rage.

After Wenqing returned from sending the rabbit hotpot, she reported Mo Chenggui and Tang Yan's reactions to Chu Lian.

Chu Lian simply smiled and entered her tent to rest for the night.

The next day, the party set off early in the morning.

By this time, they had already covered more than half of the distance to Liangzhou.

In the afternoon, the party was just preparing to set off again after a break when Tang Yan received some news about the northern border. The report said that something unexpected had happened in the northern border troops and there was a fierce battle going on outside Liangzhou City.

Before Chu Lian could react, Mo Chenggui had already started getting antsy.

They were already travelling at the fastest speed they could manage, since they were using a small road and not the well-maintained highway.

However, since there was a female guest amongst their party and they were also towing those cotton clothes, blankets, and other goods along with them, they couldn't travel at a faster pace.

Mo Chenggui immediately called for a meeting with Chu Lian and Tang Yan. He spoke bluntly and said that he was going to take House Jing'an's private soldiers with him and head for the northern border first.

Mo Chenggui was an old servant of House Jing'an and was already biased against Chu Lian. He also looked down upon Tang Yan as a subordinate of Prince Jin. Even though he was supposedly having a discussion with Chu Lian and Tang Yan first before making the decision to leave, he was actually just informing them of his actions.
