Traitor, he is bent on death

Only when we have really embarked on the road to the south of the Yangtze River can we understand what is called "the road to the south of the Yangtze River is far away". After a group of people walked for seven or eight days, they still did not reach the boundary of Jiangnan.

Shanyue has been worried about Jiang Jintang's health, but fortunately, there are no major problems. Perhaps the weather gets warmer as you go south, and Jiang Jintang's complexion seems to be a little bit better.

The motorcade stopped on the side of the road to rest for a while, and Jiang Jintang got off the carriage. The trees here were already lush, and they were all fresh green at first glance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

It would be better if there was no one who was a spoiler.

Xuan Lan changed into brightly colored clothes today, which made her look a bit more lively, which was quite different from the dull black color she used to be.

Xuan Lan naturally didn't like it, and thought it was too ostentatious, but now he is just a "child" who sneaked out of the house, penniless, and depends on Jiang Jintang's face for basic necessities.

Shanyue handed the kettle to Jiang Jintang, the water in it was still warm, he drank a couple of sips to moisten his throat, and suddenly heard Xuan Lan say: "I heard that the Hualou in Yangzhou is a must, and many of the world's most famous oirans come from Yangzhou .”

Yincai heard it, and showed a smile that any man could understand: "I have been there once before, and it is indeed a different style... But you are so young, why are you thinking about drinking flower wine? I am not afraid of you The adoptive father is to blame?"

Xuan Lan glanced at Jiang Jintang, raised his eyebrows and said, "He's disrespecting himself, so he's still here to discipline me?"

Jiang Jintang smiled: "The child is grown up, and there are people who want to watch something lively and try something new. Why should I hold him back?"

Yincai laughed loudly: "It's also true!"

"However..." Xuan Lan changed the subject and asked in confusion, "I heard that the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River is serious. Are these flower houses still open?"

Yin Cai said: "It's really a child's talk. The disaster in the south of the Yangtze River is a matter of common people. What does it have to do with rich and noble families? You should drink flower wine and drink flower wine. If you want to hug girls, you should hug girls. What does it matter?"

Yincai's short words have already outlined the tragic situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road, which has always been the case.

Jiang Jintang showed no expression on his face, as if he had long been used to seeing the cruelty of the world, Yin Cai patted Xuan Lan on the shoulder and said, "Young master, you are still young, you will understand when you grow up."

Xuan Lan said with a half-smile, "Really."

Yincai said something else, but Xuan Lan didn't listen to him. He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Jintang, but saw his eyes fell on the distant mountains and forests indifferently, showing a sense of sadness and loneliness for no reason.

He walked up to Jiang Jintang and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Jintang said softly, "I'm thinking about my family."

Xuan Lan raised her eyebrows: "Thinking of your wife and two concubines?"

Jiang Jintang didn't answer.

Probably because of the timidity of being close to his hometown, the closer he was to the south of the Yangtze River, the more frightened Jiang Jintang became.

Now that he is dragging his wretched and sick body, bearing the world's infamy, how can he have the face to meet his grandfather's family who are buried in this land with a century-old reputation.

He raised his hands to rub his temples, closed his eyes, and was about to fall into that nightmare of infinite reincarnation again, when he suddenly heard the young man next to him say, "When we get to Yangzhou, take me to visit Hualou."

Jiang Jintang was startled, struggling out of the vortex, looking at Xuan Lan with some inexplicable words: "Do you really want to go?"

Xuan Lan said word by word: "I want to watch something lively and taste something new."

Very good, I returned these words to Jiang Jintang intact.

Just as Jiang Jintang was about to answer, Xuan Lan suddenly pushed him away. Jiang Jintang was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xuan Lan still had a conscience, so he pulled him to stand firm.

Jiang Jintang felt the world spinning for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Xuan Lan had pinched a snake in his hand. It was not big, but the color was bright, and it was very poisonous at first sight.

Shanyue hurriedly stood in front of Jiang Jintang, frowned and said, "How can there be snakes in this season?!"

It stands to reason that the snakes were still hibernating at this time.

"Probably warmed up." Jiang Jintang took a breath, and then said to Xuan Lan: "Don't hold it like this."

Xuan Lan was not afraid of this deadly thing at all, he held his head with one hand and the tail with the other, and turned twice like playing with a flower rope. He was too strong, and the snake had no resistance in his hands. After hearing Jiang Jintang's words, he leaned closer: "You didn't thank me? If it wasn't for me just now, you would have been bitten."

As he said that, he maliciously held the snake so close to Jiang Jintang that Jiang Jintang could clearly see the snake's black eyeballs.

He frowned, his face turned pale, his eyelashes trembled, but he still smiled and said: "Well, when you enter the city tomorrow, how about foster father taking you to eat delicious food?"

Xuan Lan seemed to find something funny: "Are you afraid of snakes?"

"Not afraid." Jiang Jintang said.

"Not afraid..." The corner of Xuan Lan's lips curled into a wicked smile, "Aren't afraid, why are your eyelashes trembling all the time?"

Shanyue had been holding her breath for a long time, and said angrily: "Young master!"

Xuan Lan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "If you're afraid, just say it, there's nothing shameful about it."

As he spoke, he threw the poisonous snake far away, the grass fluctuated, and the snake quickly disappeared.

Jiang Jintang lowered his eyelids and didn't explain much. Shanyue looked at him worriedly, and Jiang Jintang shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Xuan Lan had already squatted by the stream and washed his hands. The spring water was cool and refreshing. He washed his hands clean and dried them carefully. When he saw no one around, he whistled. A very powerful Haidong Green immediately landed on his arm.

Xuan Lan took out the note and looked at it. It was a message from Nie Xia, saying that they had gotten rid of that group and asked if they needed to meet up.

Xuan Lan took out the note he had written long ago and put it in the bamboo tube, let Hai Dongqing fly, and then slowly returned to the camp.

He is not in a hurry to return to his team now, after all, Yincai and his group have a lot of background, and there will be some unexpected gains afterward.

……

Jiang Jintang lowered the car curtain and said, "It seems that Xuan Lan has already guessed who Yin Cai and the others are."

"It's beyond my expectation." Jian Yuanjia said: "It seems that he still has some skills."

Jiang Jintang smiled, and dropped a piece on the chessboard. The black piece immediately blocked all the air holes of the white piece, and Jian Yuanjia clicked his tongue: "I'm asking for trouble if I play chess with you... Remember right, Madam is very good at chess."

"Yeah." Jiang Jintang gave a soft smile when he heard the words: "Aniang studied under Mr. Guoshouyuan, and she had already defeated Mr. Yuan three times when she was 15 years old. I learned a little bit from Aniang."

"It's not just that you have learned something." Jian Yuanjia drank his saliva, and said, "Madam's true biography is all with you."

Jiang Jintang smiled and said nothing.

At the age of 13 or [-], he was a boy of [-] or [-] years old. He was excellent in both calligraphy and painting, and was proficient in piano and chess.

After resting for an hour, the team continued to move forward. Jian Yuanjia packed up the chess pieces and said: "Yueyang City is in front of you. After passing through Yueyang City, you have entered the border of Jiangnan."

Jiang Jintang leaned against the window, "Do you want to rest in Yueyang City tonight?"

"I think Yincai's plan is this." Jian Yuanjia said sarcastically: "After all, Yueyang is too close to the south of the Yangtze River. In order to cope with the little emperor's personal tour, it is natural to pass the gas in advance."

Jiang Jintang closed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep for a while, call me when I get to Yueyang."

Jian Yuanjia responded, packed his things and got out of the carriage, so as not to disturb Jiang Jintang.

He got on his horse, rode the horse to the side of Xuanlan, and said with a smile: "I heard from my brother that there is a fiancée in the young master's family?"

Xuan Lan didn't have a good impression of Jian Yuanjia.

If Shanyue is the dog protecting Jiang Jintang, then Jian Yuanjia is the snake watching everything in the dark. He doesn't seem to care much about Jiang Jintang's younger brother, but in fact he knows Jiang Jintang's every move clearly.

"What?" Xuan Lan always had a bad attitude towards people he didn't like.

"I'm just curious about what kind of person the young master's fiancée will be." Jian Yuanjia didn't feel neglected, and still said with a smile: "The left and right are boring now, why don't you tell me about it, just to relieve the boredom."

Xuan Lan has never met Lin Shanfang before, how could she know what she looks like, but the outside world is full of good words, such as gentleness, virtuousness, kindness and generosity, which makes Xuan Lan's ears feel callused.

He didn't understand, so he said casually: "It looks very good-looking."

"Aside from looking good?"

Xuan Lan thought for a while: "I have a bad temper, don't obey women's morals, and like to flirt with other men."

Jian Yuanjia: "..."

Jian Yuanjia felt that the expression on his face should be very strange: "Doesn't obey women's morals?"

"It's very unruly." Xuan Lan said coldly: "There are so many good friends, there are many people who admire him, and he doesn't know how to refuse."

Jian Yuanjia let out a long sigh, and asked, "If that's the case, why did you marry her?"

Xuan Lan paused, and said, "You look good."

Jian Yuanjia: "..."

Jian Yuanjia still wanted to ask, but Xuan Lan had already said sinisterly: "You talk too much."

Jian Yuanjia smiled: "I offended you, young master, please don't blame me. But after listening to the young master's description, I am really curious about what kind of beauty the young master's fiancée is."

Xuan Lan was not interested in talking to him anymore, so he rode to the front.

As soon as he left, Jian Yuanjia squinted his eyes, then looked at the carriage, shook his head and smiled: "It really is a trick of luck."

……

It was dusk when the convoy arrived at Yueyang City, and Yincai sent someone to spread the word, saying that everyone will stay in the Taishou Mansion tonight, and there is no need to find another inn.

Xuan Lan got off the horse neatly, stood beside Jiang Jintang, looked up at the plaque hanging on the gate of the prefect's mansion, and said, "I can't tell, you brother Liu is still a big shot."

Jiang Jintang smiled, "I didn't see it either."

Xuan Lan said: "I'm just a humble citizen, and the biggest official I've ever seen is the magistrate. I'm going to see the prefect right now, and I'm quite flustered."

He said panic, but there was no panic on his face.

Over there, the prefect of Yueyang City greeted him personally, and he was very polite to Yincai: "What kind of wind is this that brought you here?"

The author has something to say:

An extremely miraculous thing happened today, I am too sleepy, I will share it with you tomorrow.
