Jin Yiwei is searching for Fang Yuwu all over the city, and since King Xin's wedding is imminent, the garrison and patrol in Lidu City can be described as impeccable, Xiaoyue and Qi Delong run into walls in Lidu City in the dark.

Few of Qi Chen's Jin Yiwei didn't recognize Xiao Yue's face, so they could only hide.

Xiaoyue's illness has not yet healed, and his physical strength is exhausted very fast, and he will soon be unable to keep up with Qi Delong, a middle-aged man in his 50s, and Qi Delong is so anxious that he jumps his feet.

Fortunately, a wild dog that was looking for food in the middle of the night came out, stimulating Xiaoyue's potential.

Because of this, the two of them panicked, avoiding the wild dogs and Jin Yiwei at the same time, and went to a place they shouldn't be.

Changxing Bieyuan.

There are many guards standing in front of the main entrance of the other courtyard, wearing Ouchi uniforms, strictly guarding against death.

At the corner of the high wall on the side is a small bamboo forest. Qi Delong and Xiaoyue hid in the corner, peeking out cautiously. Outside the bamboo forest is another alleyway, and the guards would pass there from time to time.

Qi Delong was almost spotted, so he quickly stuck his head back and said in a low voice, "What should we do, why don't we go back the same way?"

Xiaoyue hugged the burden, sat by the wall and closed his breath: "...that's the only way."

Xiaoyue was a little discouraged as he had to pass the road full of vicious dogs when he returned the same way.

The light from the street lamps outside shone through the woods. Although it was not clear, Xiaoyue's face was still pale.

Qi Delong squatted in front of him, took out a water bag, and muttered: "How did your body withstand so much torture from Qi Chen? It's amazing that you have survived to this day."

Xiaoyue took a sip from the water bag: "I used to be injured and infected all the time, and I received more vaccines than normal people."

"who are you!!"

There was a loud shout, which made Qi Delong tremble all over.

The four guards heard a rustling sound in the corner, and when they got closer, they saw two people sitting here chatting and drinking.

The guard in the lead had a fierce look on his face: "This is the Changxing Courtyard, no one else is allowed to approach, arrest it!"

Qi Delong suddenly became impatient, and shouted: "Don't, don't! We are not bad people! We, our...!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Grab it!"

Xiao Yue hurriedly stood up against the wall, aiming a spear at his chest.

Xiaoyue: "We..."

At this time, no one will believe you when you say that you are just passing by.

Looking at the iron gun head in front of him, Xiao Yue raised his hands: "We are people who believe in the king."

Qi Delong had already had two guns around his arms, and when he heard what Xiaoyue said, his scalp went numb: "Are you crazy?"

They finally escaped from that broken cage, if they were escorted back again, wouldn't that be a mess!

The leading guard was stunned: "Xin Wang?"

People who believe in the king will hide their heads and show their tails in the corner?

Xiao Yue raised his hands without moving, and said calmly: "Master Bing, we are sent by King Xin to deliver things to Princess Junyao, and I have a token of the prince in my arms."

The black-mouthed and black-faced guard reached out and took out the token from Xiao Yue's arms. After looking at it for a while, he still felt strange: "Why did the prince send someone here in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Yue said calmly: "Because it is a very important thing, it must be handed over to the princess before the wedding."

The guard scratched his head in embarrassment. It sounded reasonable, and the token was real, but...

Before he could figure out why, Qi Delong yelled angrily: "Hurry up and let me go, how many of your heads will be chopped off for delaying the prince's business! Let go!"

When it came to beheading, the weapons mounted on him were immediately withdrawn.

But this situation is becoming more and more difficult to ride a tiger. This wave is not small, and the patrols on the street outside have already smelled the noise and are coming this way.

In order to avoid the soldiers outside the street, the two had to temporarily hide in another courtyard.

Qi Delong also used his skills of fooling the dead, saying that he was the master of Xinwangfu.

These are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the palace walls. Where can I see the master of the palace, Qi Delong immediately kowtowed three times.

Xiaoyue stood far away, watching Qi Delong talk with the guard behind his back, a group of old-fashioned insistence, several guards were fooled into tactics and fell back.

Xiaoyue couldn't hear clearly either, he looked around, the moonlight was hazy, the lotus pond was swaying, and the pavilions were majestic.

This courtyard is the one he and Qi Chen walked through together.

At this corner, Qi Chen told him that as long as he asked, he would not marry Lan Junyao.

It was also in this corner that Qi Chen kissed him for the second time.

Xiaoyue's chest seemed to be blocked by a sharp-edged stone, making his eyes sore.

He is really leaving.

Maybe this is the fateful ending. He came here by accident, but after all, he couldn't take anything with him except his wounds.

"What are you thinking, so fascinated."

At some point, Chidron walked up to him and bumped him on the shoulder.

Xiao Yue came back to his senses suddenly: "It's nothing. What did you tell them?"

Qi Delong: "I'll tell them that I was secretly sent by Qi Chen, and tell them not to make it public. After a while, we can go out in a fair manner. We can avoid those wild dogs by walking through the back door and go straight to the Tianshen Gate. We can leave this shit Li is gone."

Qi Delong was very excited, Xiaoyue twitched the corners of his mouth to cater to him: "Since I'm here, I want to do one more thing."

Qi Delong saw through him in a second: "To see Lan Junyao?"

After getting along for such a long time, as soon as Xiaoyue stretched his legs, Qi Delong knew what he wanted to do.

Xiaoyue didn't know what he should say to Lan Junyao, but since God arranged for him to go to this other courtyard before leaving, he should go see this "sister".

As for what to say...

Said that he was not General Xiao.

Said that General Xiao was dead.

It is said that Chu Yu is also dead.

Said that in the end, he couldn't protect anything.

Xiaoyue suddenly couldn't face Lan Junyao's face, it seemed that he really couldn't say those words.

Xiao Yue thought about it all the way, and when he stood in front of the gate of Yanque Hall, he regretted it.

In fact, there is no need for Xiaoyue to tell her personally about those things, he will marry Qi Chen at dawn, she will know about those things from others sooner or later...

right.she will know.

Qi Delong saw that he was stunned and did not respond: "You are knocking on the door, hurry up."

Xiao Yue was about to say forget it, Qi Delong knocked on the door three times vigorously.

Xiao Yue grabbed his hand, but it was too late.

Xiao Yue became anxious: "You are so old, why are you so reckless?"

Qi Delong was stunned: "I am reckless? It is obvious that you are always hesitant and procrastinating. You have such a stinking problem at a young age. If you want to say something, say it quickly. At dawn, Qi Chen finds that you are missing, so we can't leave the city. Already!"

Xiao Yue sighed angrily, and the door in front of him suddenly opened.

The dowry maid with a delicate face poked her head out: "General??"

The door that had only been opened a crack opened completely.

The dowry maid recognized Xiao Yue at a glance: "General, please come in quickly!!"

Xiaoyue didn't know how to react to this title, neither accepted nor rejected.

Chidron pushed him: "Go in and tell me, I'll wait for you here."

"Sakurabuki."

Lan Junyao, dressed in a brocade silk robe, came out from behind the curtain, "Don't yell, he's not a general."

Sakurabuki was surprised, and said: "Yes, princess."

Lan Junyao's complexion was ruddy, and her thin red lips parted slightly, no different from Xiaoyue's first time seeing her.

She nodded to Sakura: "Go out and close the door...Xiaoyue, come with me."

Xiao Yue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Junyao really knew that he was a fake from the beginning to the end.

fair enough.

There is one less thing that Xiaoyue can't say.

Compared with Xiaoyue's last visit, Lan Junyao's room has changed a lot.

Precisely forged colorful tents, beams with yellow hairpins, wedding gifts piled up like a mountain, twelve pages of posts are carefully made, and the nine treasures awarded by the Royal Household Office are placed on the long table by the window.

Xiaoyue's eyes fell on the screen. On the hanger was a bright red phoenix-tailed scarf, embroidered with graceful and luxurious nine-petaled lotus, inlaid with gold and silver, inlaid with pearls and jade, shining brightly in the candlelight. , as if blending into the sky full of stars.

Lan Junyao sat down in front of the dressing table, and smiled at Xiaoyue: "You sit too."

Xiao Yue nodded and sat at a table ten feet away.

Lan Junyao spoke first: "I've heard about Chu Yu, and I'm worried about you."

Her voice was gentle and slender, and Xiaoyue blamed himself more and more. He lowered his eyes, like a child confessing before a god: "I'm sorry Princess, it's my fault, I failed to protect Chu Yu, I..."

Lan Junyao: "You don't have to blame yourself, I believe you have tried your best."

Xiaoyue's eyes flickered slightly: "Princess..."

Sighing, Lan Junyao said: "I don't know why you look so much like Ah Yun, and I don't know why you went to Nanyue instead of Ah Yun, but Ah Yun can entrust the manuscript of the art of controlling soldiers to you. With you, you must be a trustworthy person."

Xiaoyue was startled: "You...you know all about it?"

The fact that Xiaoyue handed over the art of controlling soldiers to Fang Yuwu, the supernatural power waiter, has already shocked the imperial court, and rumors are spreading among the people. It is difficult for Lan Junyao to know.

"I……"

Xiaoyue wanted to explain, but Lan Junyao interrupted him gently: "I believe that Ayun will not be mistaken."

These words pierced deeply into Xiaoyue's heart.

He was not a reliable trustee, he had thought about handing over the art of controlling soldiers to Nan Yue for Qi Chen's sake, if not for too many accidents happened later, he would have already done that.

He almost failed General Xiao completely.

Seeing that he was covered in injuries, Lan Junyao asked, "Isn't it rumored that you were imprisoned by King Xin? Why did you come to another courtyard?"

"I..." Xiaoyue was a little hard to say, his eyelashes fluttered unnaturally, "I escaped, I... have to go."

Lan Junyao was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, Nanyue is this bloodthirsty cage, it's fine to go."

Xiaoyue saw the heavy sadness in Lan Junyao's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "If you don't want to stay, you can come with me."

This was their initial plan, to find the signal pump and flee back to Gaoxu with Chu Yu and Lan Junyao.Although it seems unrealistic now, Xiaoyue still said it.

Lan Junyao just smiled: "I must marry the prince of Nanyue, this is my mission."

Xiaoyue thought that Lan Junyao was probably afraid of angering Nanyue, so he said: "Nanyue experienced the battle of Xizhou, and his vitality was greatly injured. Even if you escape at this time, they will not dare to send troops to Gaoxu."

Lan Junyao said, "It's not that Nanyue is going to send troops to Gaoxu, but Gaoxu is going to send troops to Nanyue."

???

Xiaoyue was confused, he didn't understand at all: "Why? Now that Nanyue needs to lie dormant, Gaoxu can also take advantage of this opportunity to grow stronger. Why do you have to raise troops to fight, and... besides, Chu Yu and General Xiao didn't say that Gaoxu intends to send troops Nanyue..."

Lan Junyao said calmly, "Ayun, he doesn't know. This is my own plan."

Xiao Yue frowned: "What do you mean?"

Lan Junyao saw that he looked cute, and teased him: "Do you want to know, Xiaoyue?"

Xiao Yue looked at him quietly, his eyes full of doubts.

Lan Junyao laughed it off: "I can't tell you, Xiaoyue, you are so different, I'm afraid you will have nightmares at night."

"..."

"Let me tell you my secret." Lan Junyao's eyes were sad, but her voice was brisk, "Although it's embarrassing, I don't want to bring this secret into the coffin, so I'll tell you."

Xiao Yue looked at him.

Lan Junyao lowered her voice: "I was married before."

???

Xiao Yue frowned.

Married?Do you mean...remarry?

However, women in ancient times should not be able to remarry, let alone a princess who is close to her.

This……

"Surprised?" Lan Junyao smiled mischievously, "My husband is Gaoxu's court painter. He and I met in the spring of that year. Later, we secretly decided for life and worshiped Mingyue."

Is this what the ancients said about adultery without a matchmaker?

Xiaoyue's Adam's apple twitched up and down, his mouth dry and tongue dry: "If this is the case...how come you come to make love?"

Lan Junyao: "Because our emperor couldn't bear to take the princess who was born as a hostage, he presented my portrait to Emperor Nanyue. After that, Emperor Gaoxu found out that I was pregnant."

Xiaoyue: "..."

Lan Junyao continued: "I'm a prostitute, and I'm going to be sentenced to death, but Nanyue has already promised me a marriage, and they dare not do anything to me."

Xiao Yue was dumbfounded for a long time, then blinked dully: "Then, that painter..."

Lan Junyao's expression turned cold: "He was secretly executed, and the child in my belly... also died."

"..."

"My father, who was blinded by profit, was afraid of being implicated by me, so he personally facilitated all this, and even threatened me with my mother's life. I can't even die, so I can only be sent here." Lan Junyao's eyes turned red, Feeling a bit nervous, "No one knows about this, even I keep it from Ah Yun..."

Xiao Yue was shocked by her eyes.

He clearly remembered that the last time Qi Chen came to the other courtyard with him, Lan Junyao asked Qi Chen so graciously when she would marry her, and said that she was willing to wait for Qi Chen to welcome her through the house.

Xiaoyue thought that Lan Junyao did it voluntarily, and thought that he, like General Xiao, had great family and country feelings.

Xiaoyue moved his throat with difficulty: "Why...why..."

Lan Junyao shook her head: "There is no reason, I am a chosen victim, to test the sincerity of Nanyue's marriage, if I successfully marry into Nanyue, then the two countries of Gaoyue and Guangdong will conclude a marriage alliance, if I die...then another Forget it."

"..."

"But Nanyue's intentions were vicious. They killed all the envoys around me. I couldn't get in touch with Gaoxu at all."

Xiaoyue felt that this was wrong: "Gaoxu is also a big country, how could he lie in ambush in Nanyue without an eyeliner?"

"Xiaoyue is really smart." Lan Junyao smiled, "But I don't know who the eyeliner is, and he doesn't show up either."

Xiao Yue: "Then you have no other way to deliver the message?"

"Have."

"What is it?" Xiao Yue hurriedly asked.

Lan Junyao looked at him, smiled brightly, and said, "Xiao Yue, you shouldn't ask any more questions."

Lan Junyao wants the two countries to go to war, she just wants to tell Xiaoyue her motive, but her plan has nothing to do with Xiaoyue.

She looked into Xiaoyue's shocked and worried eyes, and said comfortingly: "I don't want to implicate you, all of this has nothing to do with you, after you leave, don't look back."

Xiao Yue's intuition told him that Lan Junyao would do terrible things, and he blurted out: "But Nan Yue's original intention was only to use the Xiao family's art of controlling soldiers, and they believed that Master Fang took away the art of controlling soldiers. Now I also really want to marry Gaoxu, this battle...doesn't need to be fought again?"

Lan Junyao straightened her waist, and distanced herself from Xiaoyue invisibly: "I am the lord of the princess, even if the two countries have a short-term friendship, when the two countries go to war in the future, I will either die for my husband or my country , Gaoxu...isn't worth my effort."

Xiaoyue knows it's unfair, but...

"However, a lot of people will die in a war between the two countries, and the people will be displaced, and the people will have a hard time." Xiao Yue said.

Lan Junyao smiled, and looked straight into Xiaoyue's eyes: "Those lives belong to others, but my husband and children belong to me."
