I really didn't take the emperor of the enemy country as a stand-in

Wen Yao jumped forward, trying to catch that figure.

The streamer of hair fluttered in the wind, slipping mischievously from Wen Yao's fingers.

Before Wen Yao could make another move, the white clothes jumped among the trees, disappearing into the forest like a heartless elf.

Wen Yao stood where Zhong Lan was just now.The wind shuttles and wanders in the rustle.

He felt boundlessly lonely, his beating heart hadn't calmed down, and only Zhong Lan's glimpse was left in his mind.

Zhong Lan didn't miss it.If there is any commotion here, Li Yunbai and the whole group of Xin Guo ministers will be in trouble.However, when he thought of the poisonous arrow he was carrying just now, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"After returning to Xin Country, find an opportunity to kill Nan Qiong directly."

In the next two days, he appeared at the location on the road map as scheduled, leaving traces on purpose, but disappeared before Wen Yao arrived.He seems to be mocking silently all the way, even if you foresee my whereabouts, you can only watch.

He walked into a restaurant with a huge bamboo hat and ordered some small dishes.

The ranger who was drinking next to him was talking: "Have you heard? Mrs. Xu is in trouble!"

Zhong Lan's hand holding the chopsticks slipped.A single chopstick slipped to the ground.

Xiao Er hurriedly laughed: "Guest officer, do you have any orders?"

Zhong Lan's expression remained the same: "I accidentally dropped my chopsticks. Get me another pair of clean ones."

"okay!"

As soon as Xiao Er turned around, Zhong Lan's expression suddenly changed, and he listened carefully to the gossip of others.

"Isn't Mrs. Xu always boasting that she has a scholarly family and does not participate in political struggles, so she is very noble?"

"It's his youngest son's fault. I heard that this youngest son is talented, and somehow he climbed up the big tree of the eldest son of the emperor."

"Hey, isn't this underdeveloped? Why is it so difficult?"

"Although that one is not enthroned now, he is the emperor. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Maybe one day he will lose his head."

Suddenly, a piece of silver was slapped on the table!

When the two looked up, they saw Zhong Lan squinting his eyes and asked with a smile, "You two, can you tell me a little bit more?"

They looked at each other, and one of them raised his head: "Actually, I just heard about it, and I don't know what happened to Mrs. Xu. It's just that Mrs. Xu's house was surrounded by officers and soldiers yesterday afternoon, and rumors spread everywhere."

Zhong Lan thought about it.

The man quickly put the money into his arms, and watched Zhong Lan disappear from his back.

Xu's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

In the main hall, Wen Yao Youzai was drinking tea while the Xu couple sat on both sides.

The year before last, Wen Yao planned to fake his identity, so Xu and his wife suddenly recognized a "little son" from the outside.Mrs. Xu gave birth prematurely when she was on the road. When she met a bandit, she handed over the child to a village woman to raise her.Mr. Xu's body is extremely weak, and he has been living in the backyard - a very old-fashioned story, but it is logical to add one more person to the Xu family.

"According to the days, it should be two days." Wen Yao put down his teacup and nodded, "Please cooperate."

The Xu couple immediately bowed to each other: "I am honored."

Zhong Lan sneaked around to inquire along the way, and he was sure that Xu's mansion was in trouble.As for the reason, there are different opinions. Some people say that Young Master Xu is negligent in his duties, others say that Young Master Xu is in collusion with the enemy country, and some people even think that Young Master Xu has cheated on the eldest son of the emperor.

Zhong Lan thought, the last reason actually makes sense.Wen Yao must have been furious when he learned about his affair with Mr. Xu.

This was a trap for Mr. Xu, but he had to come.

No matter what, he was the one who dragged Mr. Xu into this situation, if he didn't come, he would have a guilty conscience.

It was already late at night when he sneaked into Xu's mansion.

Zhong Lang found several hidden sentries, and found Mr. Xu's room according to the distribution of troops.He dodged the whistle, poked a small hole in the window paper for safety, blew some drugs in, and waited for a while before entering the room in the dark.

There was only one candle in the room, and the light was dim.Sure enough, there was a master in the house, but he had already passed out on the ground.

In the middle of the couch, Mr. Xu's hands were tied behind his back, his clothes were torn and there were bloodstains on them, his hair was covered with messy black hair around his neck, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Zhong Lan leaned over to his side, put the antidote on his fingers and put it on the tip of his nose.The powder was inhaled with the breath, and soon after, Mr. Xu woke up in a daze.

"I'm here to save you."

Mr. Xu woke up with difficulty.His face was covered with blood, and his messy hair was stained with coagulated black blood, making him look extremely embarrassed.

He looked at the bell with tears in his eyes, and the faint light of the candle could only illuminate those eyes, which were glowing with longing.

The latter moved slightly.Although she couldn't see clearly, her eyes seemed to be beautiful.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Don't talk." Zhong Lan pressed his index finger against his lips and made a mouth shape, "Follow me closely."

Mr. Xu was not fully awake yet, staring at him almost blankly.The finger that was touching his lips was warm and delicate, as if it could be licked well, he was a little distracted, and almost stuck out the tip of his tongue.Fortunately, he recovered in time and nodded.

Zhong Lan pulled him up and found that he was seriously injured, as soft as boneless, with no strength at all.Zhong Lan immediately scolded Wen Yao in his heart, what an inhuman thing.

Mr. Xu was half pulled and half hugged by him, and was almost discovered by others.Fortunately, Zhong Lang was so powerful that he brought him out of the Xu Mansion safely.

Zhong Lan: "All the shops are closed, so you can't go to the inn like this. I've wronged you this night, I'll go out and pick up a carriage to take you out of the city at dawn."

Mr. Xu replied weakly: "Cough, I'm fine, cough cough."

Zhong Lan frowned distressedly and looked around.They were by the low hill in the city, from which the stream meandered all the way down, clear and cool in the moonlight.

He put Mr. Xu under the tree and let him lean against the trunk.The temperature was freezing in autumn night, but the two dared not light a fire.Zhong Lan also took off his coat and wrapped it around Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu shrank subconsciously into the clothes that smelled like Zhong Lan, half of his face was buried in the soft material, leaving only a pair of bright eyes staring at Zhong Lan, as if he regarded him as his hero, and he was the only one left with all eyes.

Zhong Lan was melted by his eyes, turned his head and coughed lightly: "Don't move. I'm going to bring some stream water to wash your blood and wounds."

"Don't!" Mr. Xu immediately stretched out his hand to hold him, and said weakly, "Don't go, stay with me."

Zhong Lang stood where he was, as if he was a little embarrassed by his obvious overtures.

He entered an infinite loop at the age of 20, and he didn't even have a chance to talk about love.Even if the other party is a man, he is so soft, so kind, and... needs him so much.

Zhong Lan felt guilty and responsible towards Mr. Xu, but his heart beat gradually accelerated at this moment.

He sat back beside him.Mr. Xu immediately hugged him, mumbled coldly, and then curled up into his arms.

"I've heard about what happened between you and Your Highness."

Zhong Lan suddenly woke up for three minutes.

Mr. Xu said weakly and caringly: "I know there is something hidden in it."

"Don't worry, I will make a break with him once I return to Xin Country!"

Mr. Xu's back stiffened, and even his tone changed slightly: "It's just that I don't understand one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Mr. Xu lowered his eyes, and the doubts and uneasiness in his eyes quickly overflowed: "It was all an unexpected night. Why does Your Majesty care so much about me, yet want to escape from His Majesty?"

Zhong Lan woke up.So Mr. Xu was thinking about this matter!No, he can't be misunderstood because of Wen Yao.

He quickly explained, expressing his disdain for Wen Yao: "You are considerate and polite; Wen Yao is a cruel lunatic, and more importantly, he is unpredictable. You need me to take responsibility for him. I don’t need a big devil.”

Mr. Xu's face was buried in Zhong Lan's arms, but his tone became a little playful: "Oh?"

Zhong Lan's heart turned cold, thinking that he hadn't been persuaded, so he finally revealed the truth.

"There is another fundamental difference. Wen Yao wants to be above, but how can I be below? But it is different from you. If I am above, I will naturally be responsible to you."
