last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

Lan Jiansu was awakened by a dream in the middle of the night.He dreamed that a poisonous snake passed through his chest.His heart seemed to be really pinched, his eyes opened suddenly, and cold sweat rolled down his back.

There was no temperature beside her, so Lan Jiansu raised her hand to feel it, and the seat beside the bed was empty.

He sat up, looked at the empty seat beside him, and scanned the room.

The prince is not here, and neither is the prince's luggage.

Why don't you run away by yourself in the middle of the night?

Lan Jiansu felt that it was more likely that the prince would get up at night, but he didn't understand why he had to carry a burden on his back.

The sound of rain was crackling, and it was raining heavily outside the house.Moisture diffused into the room through the window cracks, and the small room was filled with mist, as if sinking in a wetland.

Lan Jiansu took out the torch, lit the oil lamp, and fanned the small flame on the wick with his hand.The room was lit, and he took a step forward.Some kind of sticky liquid seemed to be stepped on his feet. Looking down, it was blood, blackened blood.

Lan Jiansu's eyelids twitched, and he thought: Who took Lan Chongyan away?

He flung open the window.The rainy night was pitch black, and the water on the ground was ankle-high, as dark as poured ink.Even if someone had been there, the traces were washed away by the heavy rain.

He quickly opened the door, went downstairs, and looked around.He held up an umbrella and went to the hut again, but he still couldn't find anyone.The thoughts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger, Lan Jiansu became anxious, so he wanted to go back to his room, change his clothes, and go out to find the prince.

Hastily returned to the room, opened the door and went in, only to see the prince came back.

The prince was not wet, so it can be seen that he had never been out of the inn.It's just that he's covered in sweat, his hair is slightly messy, and there seems to be a red mark at the corner of his mouth where the blood was wiped off.

Lan Jiansu was about to ask him where he was going, but the nervous prince said first, "I saw people from Zilangyuan."

Lan Jiansu's eyes widened: "What? Zilang's people are here?"

The prince hurriedly packed up Lan Jiansu's clothes without explaining, "We can't stay here anymore, let's go."

Lan Jiansu saw that he was in a hurry and all the questions were stuffed into his stomach, so he packed his bags, wrapped up his rain suit, left the inn overnight, and galloped in the rain.

After running for more than ten kilometers overnight, I didn't leave the rainy land until dawn.

No one from Zi Lang chased after him, not a single suspicious passerby.Not even a passerby.

The horse couldn't run much anymore, and the speed gradually slowed down.Lan Jiansu took off his raincoat and took a deep breath of fresh air.

On the dead trees on both sides, there are crows, croaking gloomyly.The golden crow has just floated out of the horizon, and it is round and round hanging in the sky.The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the sense of crisis that enveloped them seems to gradually shrink and disappear with the light that shines on the world.

Lan Jiansu asked, "Is anyone catching up?"

The prince shook his head.

Lan Jiansu thought she was safe for the time being, but doubts arose in her heart again.

"Did you really see Zi Lang's person last night?"

The prince also untied his raincoat and said: "Yes. I was getting up last night, and I passed by a room. I saw that the doors and windows were locked, and even the cracks in the door were covered with gauze. I felt suspicious. Because this is the Zilang Courtyard It’s a habit when people go out to stay, in order to prevent others from peeking in. So I secretly tore the window paper and looked in, and saw people from Zilang Courtyard sleeping inside.”

Lan Jiansu frowned: "Are they here to look for you, or to do something else?" The two of them moved in confusion along the way, sometimes going east and sometimes west, and Lan Jiansu deliberately chose some strange paths.Logically, Zi Lang would not catch up so quickly.But if he came to do business, he never imagined that Zi Lang could do anything in such a remote place.

The prince said: "I don't know. But I must not let them find out."

Lan Jiansu was skeptical when he heard these words.He should believe what the prince said.It's just that for some reason, during these days of being with the prince, he always felt that the prince was a little weird.What's weird about it, I can't say.

"There was a pool of blood on the ground last night, it was black. Did you vomit that?" He suddenly asked the prince.

The prince stared at him, and then his eyes drifted away.

"Yeah." The prince said, "Actually, after I passed out in Qianyeqiu that day, I suffered internal injuries, and I still vomit blood to this day."

"You suffered internal injuries?" Lan Jiansu said in disbelief, "Why didn't you tell me?"

The prince turned his face away, and his tone was flat: "I don't think there is anything to say, because the feeling is not obvious, I thought it will be better after a while."

Lan Jiansu took out a small bottle from her arms and threw it into the hands of the prince.The prince looked up at him suspiciously.

"Eat it, it will dissipate the blood." Lan Jiansu sighed, "I'll take you to the doctor at the next place."

The prince squeezed the medicine bottle in his hand, and nodded obediently.

The two rode side by side until dark, but they did not find villages, towns and other inhabited places.There was a ruined temple by the roadside, so the two had to rest in the ruined temple first.

After entering the ruined temple, Lan Jiansu went to fetch the straw from the corner to make a place to sleep and sit on.As soon as he picked up a bundle of straw, a small snake jumped out suddenly and bit his finger hard.

Lan Jiansu hissed and threw away his hand. The snake fell to the ground and twisted its body to run quickly.

"Are you okay?" The prince immediately came up and grabbed Lan Jiansu's finger.

"That kind of snake doesn't have..."

With a "bang", the prince stepped hard on the little snake.After lifting the foot, the two-finger-wide snake had its intestines pierced and its flesh was bloody.

Lan Jiansu was slightly stunned.The prince's move is not too cruel. It is like trampling a mouse to death. Anyone can trample to death an animal that is harmful to him. Let's see if he has the guts.But Lan Jiansu felt something strange.

He wanted to say that kind of snake is not poisonous.

After he regained consciousness, the prince had sucked the wound on his finger, sucked the blood with his lips, and spat it on the ground.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the prince said, "I'm going out to find water."

The prince turned and went out.

Lan Jiansu looked down at the wound on his finger, and then lingered on the bloody little snake's corpse for a while.

He temporarily gave up the idea of ​​laying straw, and turned to picking branches to make a fire.After the branches and dry firewood are piled up, there is only a fire.He was too anxious to leave last night, and he didn't bring out his fire bag at the inn.

Prince's burden.

There must be a fire bag in the prince's baggage.

Lan Jiansu opened the prince's bag without thinking about it this time.

He rummaged through a pile of laundry twice, and found a square hard object.It is a wooden box.

When the prince went down Qianye Hill with him before, his hands were empty, and there was no room for a wooden box on his body.This wooden box should be obtained by the prince later, what is inside?

It's not good to look at other people's things randomly, but with the doubts that have been suppressed in her heart for the past few days, Lan Jiansu feels that this box hides the prince's secrets.Reluctantly, he untied the bolt on the lock bracket and opened the wooden box.

Seeing the items in the box, Lan Jiansu was stunned.Inside are jade seals and military orders.

At this time, the prince came in with three or four bags of water bags, stood at the door and asked, "What are you doing?"

Holding the wooden box, Lan Jiansu stood up and asked him, "Why do you have these two things?"

The prince's expression moved slightly, slightly flustered.He looked around and hurriedly closed the temple door tightly, as if he had done something very wrong.

"Jiansu, listen to me." He walked slowly in front of Lan Jiansu, carefully glanced at the jade seal and military order in Lan Jiansu's hand, staring at a fragile treasure, for fear that Lan Jiansu would not respond to those two things do what.

"These two things should be in Qinghe Concubine..." Pausing, Lan Jiansu asked in disbelief, "You blinded the third prince's eyes? You didn't sleep that night in Guanzhou, so you went to Do this?" After asking this question, he first defended the prince in his heart: Impossible, the inn where Qinghe Concubine and the others live is heavily guarded, and the prince is lonely, sneaking into the inn to poison the third prince, stealing jade seals and military orders, how did you do that?

He waited for the crown prince to give him an excuse.

However, the prince pursed his lips tightly, and then snorted, "So what? These two things don't belong to Lan Wujue, I just take back what belongs to me. You want me to use the help of King Zhen Xian Don’t you just need a title if you have the power to regain the throne? These two things are naturally the title.”

The prince admitted so fast that Lan Jiansu didn't know how to react for a moment.He was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How could you steal these two things by yourself?"

The prince said vaguely: "As long as I want to steal, there are naturally ways."

"Then you...why did you blind the third prince's eyes?" Lan Jian Su Xin said that the prince should not be such a person.The prince he knew, although he couldn't say how kind-hearted he was, he would definitely not be able to take the step of poisoning his relatives.

The prince lowered his eyes, his gaze turned cold, and he gritted his teeth bitterly, and said in a deep voice, "My original intention was not to blind him..."

The voice gradually faded, and the words behind the prince could hardly be heard.

At this time, a man in purple robes pushed the door open and entered, loudly said: "The original intention of the prince is to kill the third prince!"

The conversation between the two was interrupted.Seeing the person coming, Lan Jiansu's face immediately changed: "Tian Feng!"

He quickly stood in front of the prince, holding a talisman in his sleeve with his hand, staring at Tian Feng vigilantly.

Tian Feng smiled on his face, looked at the two of them, and smiled at Lan Jiansu twice: "Second Young Master, you have been deceiving me so hard. Put a needle in the head of this humble minister, and you will be punished if you deceive me. Lou Sang's secret technique frightened me so much that I didn't dare to close my eyes for three days and three nights after returning. Fortunately, an expert came and pulled out the needle for me, and I didn't know that I was deceived by you!" He said Words, the pace is still forward.

Sure enough, the prince did not lie, the people from Zilangyuan did follow.Moreover, Tian Feng, the dean of Zilang Academy, followed him personally.

Lan Jiansu squeezed the prince back and retreated, warning Tian Feng with cold eyes: "Don't come here again. In terms of martial arts, I may not be as good as you, but in terms of magic, you are far behind me. If you take a step closer, I won't be as good as you." I can assure you what will happen.”

Tian Feng was still afraid, he stopped immediately, raised his hands as a gesture of comfort, but his face was still full of smiles: "Second Young Master, please don't be impulsive, I am not here to arrest the prince."

Lan Jiansu: "Then what are you doing here? To say hello?"

"I'm here..." Tian Feng rolled his eyes, "Oh, I forgot the etiquette, I'm damned, damned." He got angry, raised his hand and slapped himself lightly twice.Then, with a smile on his cheeky face, he gave a serious cough, bent his knees, knelt down suddenly, and bowed deeply, "My minister, I bow to the emperor."
