Traitor, he is bent on death

When Xuan Lan woke up, before she could open her eyes, she heard the sound of wheels.

The carriage was running fairly smoothly. The wheels should be wrapped with soft cotton cloth, which can not only reduce noise, but also reduce bumps, which is quite meticulous.

"Why are you pretending to be unconscious when you're awake?" A faint voice sounded from the side, "If you want to continue to be unconscious, I'll ask someone to hit you on the back of your neck again."

"..." Xuan Lan opened his eyes, it should be dusk at this time, the light is not very good, Jiang Jintang is sitting next to him, reading an ancient book in his hand, looking very peaceful with his eyelashes drooping.

Xuan Lan smiled: "My lord, what do you mean by this? Is there anything you can't say well, you want to tie me up?"

It wasn't just a simple binding of hands and feet, but the whole body was tied up. Xuan Lan was lying at Jiang Jintang's feet. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

"I have nothing to say to you." Jiang Jintang turned the page of the book, played his own role dutifully, and said, "You are Yin Yao's running dog. I didn't take your life. It's already merciful."

Xuan Lan sneered and said: "It's a pity that I still regard the young master as a confidant, trust me so much, you treat me like this!"

Jiang Jintang thought about the fact that Xuan Lan's acting skills are also very good. He probably developed them slowly when he got into trouble when he was young. Cai's face was in a mess, and he closed his eyes, deeply aware that time is so cruel.

The two acted at each other, without a single sincere word, Jian Yuanjia was overjoyed to hear it outside, and had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing, which was very uncomfortable, so he could only pinch Shanyue's arm, Shanyue looked at him, in order not to Being hated by Jian Yuanjia, she decided to endure it.

"...You want to join the Qingtian Sect, and I am your voter?" Xuan Lan said with a sad tone, "The Qingtian Sect is just a bunch of hypocrites, and you will not end well if you collude with them!"

Jiang Jintang put down the book in his hand, and said softly, "A hypocrite is much better than a corrupt official who caressing about human life."

He lowered his eyes to put his clothes back together, and looked down at Xuan Lan: "I am grateful for Brother Yin's care along the way, and he specially let you ride in the carriage with me instead of chaining you behind the horse, it's the best of humanity."

Xuan Lan: "..."

It turns out that you had such vicious thoughts!

"My lord." Shanyue lifted the curtain of the car shortly, and said in a low voice, "The lotus flower pavilion is in front of you."

"En." Jiang Jintang responded.

The carriage stopped, Jiang Jintang was helped out of the car, and Xuan Lan was carried out of the car. He raised his eyes and saw that this was a private garden with the words "Ouhua Pavilion" inscribed on it. No one lives there.

Shanyue went forward and knocked on the door twice, and the door opened quickly, and the servant said respectfully: "Please come inside."

Xuan Lan tied a rope to his hand, and the long part was handed over to Jiang Jintang. After all, the one who dared to walk the emperor like a dog was only nine thousand years old.

Jiang Jintang led the rope and entered the door calmly, ignoring Xuan Lan's gloomy eyes.

The servants led Jiang Jintang into the painting hall. Several people were already sitting inside. The woman in the lead seemed to be naturally indifferent, with a lack of expression on her face, as if carved out of wood.

On the other hand, the fat man next to him was very enthusiastic: "This must be Mr. Shu Jin, right? I've been waiting for a long time!"

Jiang Jintang clasped his fists and smiled, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Hey." The fat man said, "It's not that you are late, it's that we came early! Come on, let me introduce you. This one is the head of Qingtian Sect in Yangzhou and the second in command of Qingtian Sect. Just call her Yuan Niang."

Jiang Jintang saluted, "I've seen Yuan Niang."

Yuan Niang didn't show any expression, she just glanced at Xuan Lan: "It's easy for you to catch this person."

Jiang Jintang explained with a smile: "I had some friendship with him before."

Yuan Niang winked at the servant next to her, and the servant immediately stepped forward to check Xuan Lan's face, as if looking for signs of disguise.

Fortunately, Xianyuewei's Yi Rongshi was superbly skilled, and the servants didn't find anything wrong, so they took a step back and shook their heads at Yuan Niang.

The fat man smiled and said: "We were still thinking about how to catch this Yin Yao's dog, but we didn't want the young master to bring him here without a single soldier... How about this, let him be handed over to us first , let’s talk about the next thing in detail..."

As he said that, he was about to pick up the rope in Jiang Jintang's hand. Jiang Jintang raised his hand, turned a corner lightly, and said with a smile in his voice, "I won't hand it over for now. After all, this is all my bargaining chips in the negotiation."

Fatty's hand was in the air in embarrassment, and soon he said with a smile: "Yes... yes, then, let's talk about the matter of becoming a teacher?"

"Okay." Jiang Jintang readily agreed.

Yuan Niang finally opened her mouth and said: "Tiao Sheng must have told you about what happened before the Qingtian Sect, so we must strictly investigate everyone who joins the Sect now, to prevent the possibility of court dogs getting in, I have sent People have checked your life experience, and you are indeed innocent, and now it seems that there is a way, I asked the leader for instructions, and he agreed with you to join the religion."

This is good news, but Jiang Jintang frowned slowly.

All this seems to be going too smoothly.

"Thank you Yuan Niang." Jiang Jintang said warmly.

"You don't need to thank me." Yuan Niang said coldly: "There will be an oath alliance meeting tonight, and it happens that you are here, so let's participate together."

Jiang Jintang naturally agreed.

Yuan Niang gave each of them a waist card with their names engraved on it. Obviously, with this thing, they can be regarded as members of the Qingtian Sect.

"In this case..." the fat man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Can we take him away?"

Jiang Jintang turned his eyes to look at Xuan Lan, and Xuan Lan looked at him too.

There seemed to be an endless night hidden in those eyes.

He curled his lips into a smile, turned his white fingers, and the slender joints protruded extremely beautifully, and said softly, "Here you are."

The rope was thrown and was caught by the fat man.

Jiang Jintang traded him for another chance.

Xuan Lan unconsciously pursed the corners of his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable. He didn't know where this discomfort came from.

Jiang Jintang and the others were taken to rest, served with good wine and good meat, but Xuan Lan, a "dog official", did not have such treatment.

He was temporarily locked in a utility room, which hadn't been cleaned for many years, and it was full of pungent musty smells, which made people cough and choke as soon as they entered.

Before the door closed, someone spat and scolded the dog officer.

Xuan Lan was tied up, unable to move, sat up from the ground with difficulty, leaned against the wooden cabinet and took a breath.

The utility room was very quiet, the sky darkened, there was no light inside, and it was pitch black, which suddenly reminded Xuan Lan of the Wanshou Festival when she was 17 years old.

He didn't really value his own birthday, but civil and military officials did. He felt that he had to use the opportunity of the emperor's birthday to showcase the great national strength of the great cause, so he held a special event every year on the Longevity Day.

That day was actually no different from usual, he left from the banquet, was drunk a lot, his head was dizzy, and his temper probably wasn't too good, Wang Laifu followed him cautiously and didn't dare to talk too much, so that he was so confused He walked out of Fuyuan Hall in a daze.

Fuyuan Hall is the former residence of Princess An, Concubine Zhenchun. Princess Zhenchun has passed away for many years, and the palace has been empty, almost no different from the Leng Palace. At this time, the lights are lit inside, which makes Xuanlan a little curious.

So he opened the door and went in, and saw a slender figure standing in the courtyard of Fuyuan Hall. The man was standing under a tree, as if he was looking at something intently. Qingqing's cold lotus noodles directly hit Xuan Lan's eyes.

It was Nine Thousand Years who never showed up at the banquet.

He didn't come to congratulate the young emperor on his birthday, saying that he was unable to move because of a relapse of an old illness, but he appeared in the palace in the middle of the night, still in the harem.

Xuan Lan stood at the door for a long time before taking a step forward. Jiang Jintang said in a cold voice, "Why are you here, Your Majesty?"

Xuan Lan said: "I appear here to talk about the past, but nine thousand years old appear here, it cannot be justified."

Jiang Jintang just sneered and didn't answer.

Xuan Lan approached step by step, and asked, "What is Nine Thousand Years Looking at?"

"Look at the flowers." Jiang Jintang's voice was ethereal like a cloud in the sky, with complex emotions that Xuan Lan didn't understand, "I never took a good look at the flowers in this pond when I was in Fuyuan Hall."

Concubine Zhenchun loves lotus very much, so Yuan Dedi ordered someone to dig a pond for her in Fuyuan Hall to raise some delicate and delicate varieties of lotus. It was also an anecdote in the capital.

It’s just that after Emperor Yuande left, the Fuyuan Hall no longer raised lotus flowers. I don’t know if it’s because Princess Zhenchun felt that people had passed away, and it’s boring to look at things and think about people. , there is really no sense of beauty.

The 17-year-old Shaodi felt that Jiang Jintang was probably crazy, and ran into the palace in the middle of the night to look at a dry pond. He was curious about what was there to see, so he took two steps forward. It happened that at this time, the evil wind of the summer night was blowing up and blowing out the pond. In the darkness, Xuan Lan stepped on something and fell forward. Someone stretched out his hand in the darkness and seemed to want to pull him. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough strength. Instead, he fell into a ball with Xuan Lan and fell into the In the dry pond.

Wang Laifu was so frightened that he hurriedly asked someone to turn on the light to rescue him. Xuan Lan didn't feel anything, the dry pond was full of mud, dirty, and it didn't hurt when he fell, but Jiang Jintang, who was curled up in his arms, felt Has been trembling thinly.

Xuan Lan was drunk, but it's not clear whether Jiang Jintang was really shaking or not. I only know that when the two of them were finally pulled up, Jiang Jintang's face was unbelievably pale, and even his normally delicate lips were pale.

That tree is full of flowers and the shadow of the moon, even if Jiang Jintang is dressed in dirty clothes and looks embarrassed, he has infinite elegance, his pale face is even more frail, like a snow-born plum bone, looking at Xuan Lan who is nameless and angry, regardless of whether it is himself or not The troubled people, opened their mouths and said: "Why is Nine Thousand Years like a little girl, is it possible that he is still afraid of the dark?"

To this day, Xuan Lan still remembers the way Jiang Jintang looked at him at that time.

So strange.

This person's eyes are clearly so seductive that people can be fascinated by them at a glance, but at this moment they are as clean as a newborn child, seeming to have no emotions at all, but seem to be filled with countless ridicules , as the lights flickered, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, which was lively and fragrant, "Has Your Majesty ever seen a snake?"

Xuan Lan was puzzled, and replied, "Naturally."

"Afraid?"

"What's so scary?"

Jiang Jintang laughed.

He smiled unrestrainedly, and that snow-like face bloomed like a flower in the night, making people unable to take their eyes off. Even if everyone knew that he was disrespecting the imperial court and despising the Holy Majesty, no one dared to remind him.

Jiang Jintang tidied up his dirty clothes, and said in a clear moonlight, "It's a good thing not to be afraid."

……

Xuan Lan didn't know why he suddenly thought of this matter. Naturally, he thought of Jiang Jintang's reaction when he saw a poisonous snake on the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

...he seems to be genuinely afraid of snakes.

Xuan Lan rubbed her temples to stop thinking about Jiang Jintang, but suddenly, she remembered the rumors she had heard when she was a child.

It is said that Concubine Zhenchun's mother is a demon girl in southern Xinjiang, and she learned Gu skills from her mother, which made Emperor Yuande fall in love with her. In fact, the lotus pond in the palace is not used to grow flowers at all, but to raise Gu Yes, a palace official once saw her put snakes into the dry lotus pond.

After the death of Emperor Yuande, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and Princess Zhenchun avoided the world and rarely went out of the palace. After hearing this rumor, Xuan Lan was very curious and wanted to sneak into Fuyuan Hall to have a look, but was taken away by her mother, who was very strict. Lesson learned.

Speaking of which, when he was 17 years old, it was the first time he stepped into Fuyuan Hall.

When Jiang Jintang first entered the palace, he was on duty in the Fuyuan Hall. He said that he had never been able to see the pond flowers properly before, but when he entered the palace, the lotus pond in the Fuyuan Hall had already withered, and he could not see the lotus at all. .

Then, in the late night of the Wanshou Festival when everyone was smiling, Jiang Jintang stood alone by the lotus pond, lonely and lonely, what was he looking at?
