last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

After noon, the fog dissipated.The finger that King Zhen Xian usually used to pick his teeth lay stiffly under the sun.The blood on the wound had dried up, and the fingers were so dry and black that even flies wouldn't even look at them.

Because of the loss of teeth-picking tool, Zhen Xian Wang suffered twice as much as the average person who lost his finger.Lan Chongyan's threat to Lan Jiansu and Su Yin's anxiety successfully dispelled their comfort during this period of time.

The light in the room was dim, and Su Yinyou stood at the door with his head down, punching the beam with one hand like a fist.

Lan Jiansu clutched the letter and sat silently by the window.

King Zhenxian should have returned to Zhenyou long ago, and should not be in the capital.But if he returns to Zhenyou, the new emperor whose foundation is not stable can't rush to arrest people.

He should have been captured on the way back to Zhenyou.

Didn't Jing Xianxue protect King Zhen Xian?Or did Jing Xianxue also have an accident?

Lan Jiansu couldn't help but tell herself that it was impossible.With Jing Xianxue's martial arts, she will never be easily defeated.

But no matter what mistakes or accidents happened, King Zhen Xian's life and death are now in Lan Chongyan's hands.

"I've made up my mind, I'll go back to Beijing, and I'll go rescue my father. If you stay here, Lan Chongyan dare not do anything to you." After listening to the birdsong outside the house for a long time, Su Yin's voice was half hoarse and worried. sounded.

Su Yinyou didn't intend to let Lan Jiansu go back to Beijing with her.In his eyes, Lan Jiansu was the sworn enemy for the throne with Lan Chongyan, and the biggest threat to Lan Chongyan's existence in the world.If Lan Jiansu fell into Lan Chongyan's hands, Lan Chongyan would definitely not let him go.So Su Yin worried and wanted to protect Lan Jiansu.He failed to protect his father and king, and he could no longer protect this younger brother.

Lan Jian Su Ming didn't respond to Su Yin's worries, but he had plans in his heart.

Lan Chongyan has become less like a person now.Su Yinyou's risk taking is just to give him one more bargaining chip.Lan Jiansu had to go sooner or later.

Lan Jiansu was just hesitating and doubting.

Doubting the authenticity of this finger, doubting Lan Chongyan's reality.So he didn't say anything, and he didn't act rashly.

Familiar footsteps came from outside the house, and the monk came again, this time presenting him with a long silver sword.

The sword was as thin as paper, and Lan Jiansu recognized it as Jing Xianxue's sword at a glance.

Jing Xianxue's sword never left her body.She said that this was the first time in her life that she had bargained with someone for a sword that the boss wanted to kill her, so this sword was of great significance to her.

The sun's rays hit the window lattice, and the cold light from the sword made Lan Jiansu's eyes hurt.

Staring at Jing Xianxue's sword, the suspicion in Lan Jiansu's heart was suddenly dispelled.No doubts left.He didn't solve the mystery, but gave up rational thinking.

Just like when a child is kidnapped by a kidnapper, parents rationally consider whether to call the police or pay a ransom in the early stage. After receiving threats one after another, their rationality is destroyed, and they unconsciously take out all their family property and beat them to the kidnapper, regardless of what the kidnapper will eventually do. Will not let people go, do you have a meat ticket in your hand?

Although Lan Jiansu didn't panic to the extreme, he clearly understood that Lan Chongyan was not an ordinary kidnapper, he had another identity, that of the emperor.

Su Yinyou read something from his silent eyes, and strode up to grab his hand: "Jiansu!" He only called Lan Jiansu's name and didn't say anything else.But he held Lan Jiansu's hand very tightly, as if he was afraid that the hand would slip out suddenly and he would disappear.

Lan Jiansu raised his hand and rubbed his brows, wanted to laugh but couldn't: "I can't escape." Lan Chongyan didn't need to say this, he said it for him.

He finally realized that the Dafeng royal family was his fate.The more he wants to hide, the more this calamity will entangle him.His mother's unfinished fate, let him inherit it in this life.The first emperor is dead, and the new emperor will not let him go.

Who told him that he was the last living person in Lou Sang Kingdom.

"You said you wouldn't leave me!" Su Yin's worried tears burst out suddenly, and he firmly grasped Lan Jiansu's hand, leaving a red mark.He said with trembling lips, "Even... even if you really want to leave me, you can go anywhere, but you can't go back to the capital!"

Lan Jiansu was silent, Ren Suyin's tears of worry hit her arms.

Su Yin hugged him anxiously, and said anxiously: "Jian Su, can we think of other ways? You don't want to go back, we will have other ways. Otherwise...or let's go back to Zhenyou first? Just go back to Zhenyou... "Suddenly there was a stabbing pain in the back of the neck, and Su Yin's worried words were broken in his throat.

Lan Jiansu pulled out the silver needle from the back of Su Yinyou's neck, and Su Yinyou's body collapsed in his hands.He hugged Su Yinyou, who was unconscious, and put him on the couch.Taking one last look at Su Yinyou, she turned around.

This step did not go far, and stopped again.

"Jiansu...!" Su Yinyou used all her strength to break through numbness and open her eyes, but her body was still unable to move.He let out a weak voice from his throat, all emotions filled with red eyes.

Lan Jiansu walked back to the couch and squatted down.He held Su Yinyou's hand with a smile on his face.Smile warmly, without any bitterness: "Don't cry." He said, "Don't take this as parting from life and death, just a short separation. It's like you are in the house during the day, and I am playing outside. Trust me, I will It just takes a little time to come back to see you, it won't be long."

Su Yin worried that she would not listen to Lan Jiansu's words.He was crying, crying constantly.With a hoarse voice, he called weakly over and over again: "Lan Jiansu... Lan Jiansu...!"

Hua Wu personally sent Lan Jiansu down the mountain.No one can find their way down or up unless they follow the monks on the mountain.

The journey down the mountain was quite long, so long that Lan Jiansu was about to regret it three times on the way.

It is only a short distance to the gate of the mountain.Hua Wu, who was speechless all the way, stopped and asked Lan Jiansu: "Benefactor, have you really decided?"

He said this out of nowhere, and Lan Jiansu was slightly taken aback.There was no communication before, and he couldn't figure out whether Hua Wu was asking, "Have you really decided to go back to Beijing?" or "Have you really decided to go on the road with two big steamed buns?"

Until Hua Wu said again: "If the benefactor really decides to leave the Peak of Bliss, Hua Wu will have nothing to persuade him."

Only then did Lan Jiansu figure out what he really wanted to ask.

Looking at the mountain road that was less than a few miles away, Lan Jiansu choked on his words.He didn't want to go, and he didn't want to make any decisions.Let's live a happy life, but who is willing to run back to die?but--

He said: "Everyone has their own fate that they should face. No matter how they avoid it, how they deceive themselves, they must face it in the end."

He was terrified of the exam in his previous life, but the exam will still come.If I fail the exam, I am afraid of being beaten to death. I run away from home, hang around outside, and I still have to get slippers when I go home.

The first emperor was someone Yu Qingsheng could not escape, and Lan Chongyan was also someone he could not escape.

His biological mother had her life, and this was his.

Hua Wunian said "Amitabha", and said: "The Almighty and Lingci are indeed very similar."

Lan Jiansu asked suspiciously, "Oh? You knew that Yu Qingsheng was my mother?"

Hua Wu slowly closed his eyes.

Lan Jiansu was not surprised that Hua Wu would know about his life experience.Those mirrors are in the secret room.

He didn't appear to be very surprised, but instead smiled rather interestingly: "Hey, Master Hua, do you have any stories with my mother?"

Hua Wu smiled lightly.

Just this shallow smile scared Lan Jiansu away.You must know that he has stayed in the Peak of Bliss for so long, and he has never seen Huawu have any normal human reaction.

Today, Hua Wujing smiles because of his mother.

His wife is really not an ordinary person.

"There will be fate in the future, and the poor monk will talk to the benefactor again."

Lan Jiansu said rather disappointedly: "I don't know what the future will be."

"If there is fate, we will meet each other eventually. If there is no fate, don't force it." After saying these words of fate or not, Hua Wu took out a box carved with pine patterns from his sleeve: "Please accept this box, benefactor."

Lan Jiansu took the box of unknown origin in a daze: "What is this?"

Hua Wudao: "It contains the kindness of the benefactor. The benefactor should keep it well."

The words of the monks are always philosophical.On the one hand, it is a good thing, because after all, there are too few people with philosophical connotations in the world, and it is necessary for people with philosophy to continuously create philosophy.On the one hand, it is a headache, because there are so many interpretations of philosophy, and Lan Jiansu doesn't understand what level of philosophy Huawu means.

He gave up asking Hua Wu what the connotation of what Hua Wu said was. If he asked, he would only gain more philosophies with unclear connotations.He then broke the box in his hand, but no matter how hard he tried, the box didn't move at all.

"Why can't it be opened?" He asked Huawu.

Hua Wudao: "If I tell you, 'Don't open it unless it is absolutely necessary', the benefactor will still be disobedient and open it in advance. To ensure that nothing will go wrong, the poor monk simply cast a spell on it, and wait for the benefactor to open it in advance. When you really feel the time is right, you can open it."

Although Huawu's answer is no longer nonsense, it sounds very useless.Lan Jiansu just stayed there for a while, then put the box into his arms.

Without waiting for Hua Wu, he strode down the mountain and waved to Hua Wu: "Come back, don't send it off."

Hua Wujing stood on the mountain steps, and said again, with a long lingering sound, Amitabha.

After leaving the gate of Bliss Mountain, Lan Jiansu saw the familiar face of the old eunuch within five miles.Behind him was a carriage and seven or eight guards.

The old eunuch folded his hands, and with a thick pink face, he twisted a flattering and treacherous smile: "Second Master, you are finally here. The servant has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Although Lan Jiansu had a deep feud with Tian Feng, and hated Tian Feng like an animal that didn't understand human nature, it was undeniable that Tian Feng's lucky appearance was much more pleasing to the eye than the old eunuch.

Lan Jiansu yawned heavily, facing the old eunuch's unlovable, monster-like appearance, he couldn't show any kindness.He dodged the old eunuch and got into the carriage directly, leaning against the wall of the carriage, intending to fall asleep.

The old eunuch curled his lips, snorted coldly, got into the carriage, and urged the driver who was still resting: "What are you waiting for? Go back to Beijing."

The road is bumpy, and the carriage is a rough road.Lan Jiansu couldn't sleep at all.Zhang Yan had the same old face of the old eunuch again, looking depressed.

The road back to the capital is too far away, so I don't talk, and I feel very bored.

Lan Jiansu then asked: "Where's Tian Feng? Too——shouldn't the dog accompanying the emperor be Tian Feng? Where did he go?" He didn't mean to miss Tian Feng, he was just curious.

Lan Jiansu's words were not pleasant, implying that the old eunuch was also a dog by the emperor's side.But the old eunuch was used to hearing such words, and had a very clear self-awareness, so he didn't get angry at the words.

However, his face suddenly became contemptuous, as if he heard the word "Tian Feng".He sneered three times in succession, seeming to be boasting but not boasting: "Lord Tian is both intelligent and courageous, literary and martial arts, and courageous. Such a genius, how can he be subdued as a minister in the court? The emperor wants to serve the country for the sake of it." With the wish to be loyal and to make some achievements, he was sent to resist the Japanese pirates in the southern country."

Lan Jiansu was taken aback.

Tian Feng wanted to be a cabinet minister like crazy, but he didn't expect Lan Chongyan to send him to fight in the south.

Lan Chongyan is really capable.Lan Jiansu said in her heart.

Tian Feng, who had exhausted all his tricks, would actually fall over Lan Chongyan, who was lifted up by himself.

After Lan Chongyan returned to Beijing, Tian Feng supported him as emperor.Concubine Qinghe, who was suddenly betrayed, asked Tian Feng to give him a glass of poisoned wine on the charge of "attempting to murder the emperor" before she could react to the changing situation.

She served a glass of poisoned wine one after another, and eventually died of a glass of poisoned wine herself.

Tian Feng helped Lan Chongyan succeed to the throne, cleared most of the obstacles in the Qing Dynasty for him, and even avenged him personally.His achievements are so great that it is more than enough to replace Shen Pinglu as a prime minister.

Unexpectedly, just when he thought he could completely control Lan Chongyan, the "ignorant" little emperor, he was hit on the head by Lan Chongyan.

In the court, he forced Lan Chongyan to give him a heavy duty, and he kept saying that he wanted to make some contributions to Dafeng.

No, Lan Chongyan's speed of crossing the river and tearing down bridges is faster than his speed of eradicating alien parties.Then he pushed the boat along the way and ordered him to lead the troops out to fight and "make some contributions" for Dafeng.

Tian Feng was furious and wanted to rebel.But there was no one in the court to help him.

Tian Feng was dumbfounded, Tian Feng was dumbfounded.

How could he know that Lan Chongyan had quickly established his own cronies in the court during the days when he was smug, and those followers who were loyal to Tian Feng were also suppressed and warned by Lan Chongyan one after another.

Before Tian Feng's group was firmly established in the court, it was beaten to pieces by Lan Chongyan.

Tian Feng's heart and eyes can stir up some troubles in the court, but he can only suffer in the army.Besides, it is impossible for the army to not have Lan Chongyan's eyeliner.

Tian Feng's dream of covering the sky with one hand and calling the wind and rain in the imperial court had no choice but to be carried on the battlefield, where he was crushed by iron hooves.

It has been five days since I arrived in the capital.

Lan Jiansu's thoughts gradually recovered from the summit of bliss, and he realized the fact that he had returned to the capital.

The scenery in the capital is still the same as before, without any changes.Two high pavilions have been built in the north of the city, and a new treasure palace is being built in the wasteland of the eastern suburbs.In and out of the city, it was bustling.The guards in silver armor surrounded the city gate, and the flag on the city wall was replaced with a new year name——Yuan Yin.

Because of the different moods of the people watching, it is clear that the smell of jujube paste is still the same as before, and the drum tower is still the same as before, but Lan Jiansu always feels that this place is not as beautiful and friendly as before.

Naturally, his feelings are not all due to his state of mind, but partly due to reality.I heard that housing prices in the capital have increased by one-third within a year.

Lan Jiansu thought that when he returned to Beijing, he would be put in prison.After all, the shackles of "rebels from the imperial court" are still hanging on his body, and it is impossible to justify this prison.

When he was in the carriage, he had already done ample warm-up exercises, presumably the physique he had cultivated on the misty Peak of Bliss was already able to deal with the humidity in the prison.And the stomach that has been cultivated by living with vegetarian steamed buns every day will definitely be able to accommodate the sour rice in prison.He has full confidence in his heart that he can defeat Dungeon Shadow.

After getting off the carriage, there was a magnificent mansion in front of him.

Lan Jiansu was dumbfounded, turned around and asked the old eunuch, "Where is this place?"

The old eunuch answered irrelevantly: "Second Master, please rest first, the slave will retire."

Lan Jiansu called the old eunuch twice, but they turned around and left in a hurry as if they didn't hear them.Close and lock the door.

The house is very large, with three entrances and three exits.There is a large garden with a lake where you can go boating.

There are servants, maidservants and women in the house.It's just that they were all immersed in their own work, and when Lan Jiansu asked them anything, they didn't say anything.

What the hell is Lan Chongyan doing?

Lan Jiansu became more and more confused about what Lan Chongyan wanted to do.Do you want to kill him, force him to be a lackey, or torture him?

Unable to guess what Lan Chongyan was thinking, Lan Jiansu pushed the door of a room at random and entered, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep exhausted.

He had a very bad dream, dreaming that King Zhen Xian turned into a ghost and came looking for him.I dreamed that King Zhen Xian lifted up the palm with five broken fingers, and told him that losing the fingers was so painful, and that the food scum filled with teeth could not be picked out.Lan Jiansu advised him to use a toothpick instead, but he scolded him savagely, saying that a tool without emotion is as easy to use as a finger with flesh and blood?Lan Jiansu felt aggrieved and depressed.

Lan Jiansu dreamed of Jing Xianxue.Jing Xianxue lost the weapon she carried with her, and when she went out to work, she would only be robbed of business by her peers and beaten up by her enemies.Lan Jiansu advised her to stop doing it and spend the rest of the money to enjoy a comfortable life.She said that the real estate fee of a large house in the suburbs of Beijing is too expensive, and she will not be able to afford it if she quits.Lan Jiansu feels that the reality is too cruel. Everyone wants to achieve financial freedom, but the road to freedom is extremely difficult.

Each of these dreams became more bizarre and more depressing.After sleeping in a daze until midnight, covered in cold sweat, Lan Jiansu woke up with a start.

There was no candle in the house, his throat was dry, and he got out of bed and looked for a kettle in the dark.He touched the blue and white porcelain pot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.Suddenly seeing a figure flipping through a book standing in front of the window, he was startled.

Taking a closer look, Lan Jian and Su Fang saw clearly that the person in the black clothes that melted into the night was Lan Chongyan.

Lan Chongyan was reading a book by the window by the light of the moon.When I was young, I didn't know the value of eyes. When my eyes became short-sighted one day, I would probably cry bitterly over it.

But Lan Jiansu no longer cared about how Lan Chongyan treated his eyes, he was just thinking, why is this person here?Why are you reading here?

Presumably aware that Lan Jiansu was staring at him through the darkness, Lan Chongyan raised his eyes, the half of his face illuminated only by the moonlight stared at Lan Jiansu who was enveloped by the night without any excitement: "Are you awake? "

"Why are you here?" Lan Jiansu asked subconsciously.

"This is the house I rewarded you, why can't I be here?"

Lan Jiansu's ears pricked.He felt that he had to get used to Lan Chongyan saying the word "zhen".

Rubbing his eyes, Lan Jiansu stopped talking and drank the tea that was poured into the cup in one gulp.The thirst in the throat finally eased a little.

Lan Chongyan put down the book and took out the booklet from the cabinet.He came to the table and sat opposite Lan Jiansu.

Light the candle on the table, and a ball of yellow light shines between the two of them.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, neither of them avoided the other's eyes, and neither of them felt how embarrassed it was to look at each other without speaking.

"I once said that you would be willing to go with me." Lan Chongyan blew out the sparks that came out of the fire book, and the faint smile on his face seemed to be hidden in the bottom of his heart, the pair who can control everything in the world satisfy.

Lan Jiansu's presence here now was Lan Chongyan's victory.No matter what means he uses.

Lan Jiansu didn't want to argue with him, nor did he want to attack or refute what Lan Chongyan said.He put the teacup on the table and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm already here. Where are King Zhen Xian and Jing Xianxue? What did you do to them?"

There was not only one tea cup on the table, but Lan Chongyan wanted to pick up the cup that Lan Jiansu drank and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You want to see them?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Otherwise, why do you think I came back here?"

Lan Chongyan drank a cup of tea and said calmly, "Be good here and listen to me. I can make them safe."

Lan Jiansu said, "I don't believe what you said. I want to see them and confirm their lives and deaths."

"I don't agree." He stared into Lan Jiansu's eyes and said, "If you knew where they were being held, wouldn't you rescue them?"

Lan Jiansu silently looked at Lan Chongyan's eyes, this look.

The line of sight gradually shifted away from Lan Chongyan's face, and Lan Jiansu didn't know where to look.He was quiet for a long while, and suddenly, a laugh escaped his lips.

Lan Chongyan asked him: "What are you laughing at?"

Lan Jiansu laughed twice again, he raised his head, with that finally bitter smile: "Lan Chongyan, if I think about it carefully, I haven't done anything heinous. But why," he frowned Frowning, "Why did God let me meet you?"
