The general is easy to bully

Gu Shishi set fire to the building of the dark guard.

He sat on a tree far away, watching the lingering and spreading tongues of flames devour what could be called the nightmare of his life and Ming Lan's life.

There is not much joy in my heart, just relief for no reason.

The hidden guard was burned, and the royal family didn't seem to have much movement. Gu Shisi returned to the General's Mansion on a light rainy evening, soaked all over his body.

Xu Fenglou was anxiously waiting for him at the door.

He is a scholar and doesn't know martial arts, Shisi never told him about the past.

He had only seen large scars on Shishi's body. In the past few days, he had heard a rough idea of ​​Shishi's past from Xiao Qihan and Shen Xingfeng, and he began to regret taking Shishi back to the capital.

The gentle Jiangnan water town is the most suitable place for Fourteen to live.

Xu Fenglou wrapped Gu Shishi gently with a cloak.

Gu Shisi was like a tired beast, with his head resting on Xu Fenglou's shoulder, silent for a long time.

He was trembling, his body was as cold as ice, Xu Fenglou tightened his arms tightly, and said softly: "Fourteen, let's go home."

Back to that Jinling without any darkness and coldness.

There is no dark guard, no bright night, and no nightmares that make Shisi wake up in the middle of the night.

Xiao Qihan entered the palace, he wanted to talk to Yun Yingshen about Ming Lan.

Xiaoyao Pavilion was built a hundred years ago, and it has been very peaceful for a hundred years. No matter how the world changes, how dynasties change, Xiaoyao Pavilion is just like his name, never submitting to any party or participating in any struggle.

Yun Yingshen didn't really want to provoke Xiaoyao Pavilion. Xiaoyao Pavilion is located on the top of Lingyun Mountain at the foot of the Son of Heaven. There is only one waterway up and down the mountain.

Yun Yingshen's tone was light and light, "For a guard, there is really no need to go to war."

Xiao Qihan frowned: "Minglan is not just a guard to me."

After Minglan left, he also went to investigate Minglan's whereabouts, but the people in the dark guard were mysterious and tight-lipped, and the newly sent dark guards kept silent about Minglan's affairs. Going to the old lair of the dark guard, he didn't know that Minglan had been trapped in Xiaoyao Pavilion for so long.

Yun Yingshen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "At the beginning, if the emperor let you sit, maybe I wouldn't have so many things to worry about."

Yun Yingshen wrote a letter and sent it to Xiaoyao Pavilion to show his sincerity, not an imperial decree.

I hope Xiaoyao Pavilion can let people go.

When Hang Yijue got the letter from the emperor, he sneered and wrote back, saying that next month will be the spring banquet held once every three years in Xiaoyao Pavilion, and he specially invited the emperor to enjoy the flowers.

After writing the letter, he sent someone to find Ming Lan.

Let him personally deliver this letter to the General's Mansion.

Ming Lan knelt on the ground, holding the letter, kowtowed and was ready to leave.

On the slender and fair neck, the unique slave seal of Xiaoyao Pavilion is extraordinarily beautiful. Hang Yijue chuckled behind Minglan, "After delivering the letter, remember to come back. You are from Xiaoyao Pavilion now. Don't touch other people's things, and don't ask me to wait for you for too long at night."

Minglan took Hang Yijue's token and left Xiaoyao Pavilion.

When he was good at martial arts, it took him only two or three hours to get to the general's mansion with his light skills, but now it took him almost a day to walk by foot.

At dusk, Ming Lan finally returned to the General's Mansion.

Xiao Qihan heard the news and hurriedly came out to see him.

"Ming Lan?"

Minglan's pupils flickered, "Master Minglan is here to deliver a letter."

That "Master" still didn't come out in the end, Ming Lan presented the letter with both hands, then stepped aside respectfully and lowered his head.

Xiao Qihan caught a glimpse of the imprint on the back of his neck, and frowned, "Shall we go in first?"

"No, I have to rush back..."

"Minglan!"

Suddenly a person came flying from the front, it was Gu Shishi.

Minglan subconsciously covered her neck with her hands, watching Gu Shishi gasp in front of her with her calm eyes as always.

"fourteen."

"Minglan, why did you go to Xiaoyao Pavilion?"

Minglan was silent.

Gu Shishi's eyes were scarlet, he grabbed Minglan's arm, and his voice was hoarse: "You killed Hang Yijue's younger brother, Hang Yijue regards you as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, he will never let you go!"

Gu Shishi glanced at the people around him, gritted his teeth, and then dragged Minglan aside alone.

"Minglan, you can't stay in Xiaoyao Pavilion."

Ming Lan: "I know, I will leave. I will not go back when I come out to deliver the letter this time."

Gu Shishi: "Really? The Xiaoyao Pavilion..."

"It's all settled."

Ming Lan nodded, he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, looked up and down Gu Shishi several times, his throat was astringent: "How are you doing?"

Gu Shishi nodded indiscriminately; "Very good, I opened a martial arts gym in Jinling to teach people how to practice martial arts, if you have time, come to Jinling, I also want to introduce you to my group of apprentices. "

Ming Lan's hand on his neck tightened slightly, his body without any internal strength was a little tired and weak, he stared at Gu Shishi, and said softly "um", "When are you going back to Jinling?"

Seeing that Minglan was safe and sound, Gu Shishi heaved a sigh of relief, and his tone became lighter.

"In fact, Fenglou has been urging me to go back, just to accompany me to the capital. His private school is closed. If he doesn't go back, those children will have no books to read." Gu Shisi leaned against the tree, "Just listen Said that you went to Xiaoyao Pavilion, I am a little worried now that you are fine, I will return to Hefenglou soon

It's Jinling. "

Ming Lan was silent for a long time, "Is he nice to you?"

"Very good." Gu Shishi couldn't help but smile, "He is the best person in the world to me."

Just as Minglan was about to speak, Xu Fenglou called Gu Shishi from a distance, Gu Shishi turned his head and waved at him, then looked back at Minglan again: "Then I'll go first."

Ming Lan nodded: "Yeah."

Gu Shishi trotted all the way to Xu Fenglou, Ming Lan looked at him quietly, saw him plunge into Xu Fenglou's arms like a bird in spring, Xu Fenglou hugged him with his head down, tenderly After saying something to him, Gu Shishi smiled brightly, held Xu Fenglou's hand, and walked away like this.

Ming Lan let go of the hand that had been pressing on her neck, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but draw a faint curve.

Minglan doesn't plan to go back to Xiaoyao Pavilion immediately.

He's going somewhere, to get an important thing.

Hang Yijue's subordinates looked at him coldly: "Minglan, you should go back."

Ming Lan still walked forward with a blank expression.

The subordinate pressed Minglan's shoulder and frowned: "Minglan, I think you understand the rules, so I kindly remind you that disobeying the pavilion master's order will not end well for you."

Ming Lan pulled his hand away, and still went in the opposite direction of Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Shisi is going back to Jinling, he has no time.

He must deliver such things to Fourteen.

Ming Lan returned to the General's Mansion and went to see Xiao Qihan first.

"Hang Yi absolutely wants the emperor to attend the spring banquet. I'm afraid it's fraudulent. You advise the emperor not to go."

Xiao Qihan frowned.

Minglan: "I'm fine in Xiaoyao Pavilion, and Hang Yijue didn't make things too hard for me. My life was bought with his brother's life, so he won't kill me."

"Xiaoyao Pavilion is rich in famous swords and sharp weapons. If you offend Xiaoyao Pavilion for me, it's really not worth it." Ming Lan knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Qihan, "Master, let me keep it a secret from Fourteen. He's married, and Xu Fenglou is doing well, he shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing again."

Minglan is a person who has few desires. He has been serving others almost all his life, Xiao Qihan can't refuse him.

What's more, Xiao Qihan himself is also a selfish person.

He knew that the enemy country had been trying to collude with Xiaoyao Pavilion all these years to obtain the weapons of Xiaoyao Pavilion. If the imperial court and Xiaoyao Pavilion confronted each other, Da Chu would fight. As the Marquis of the General's Mansion, Shen Xingfeng would not be able to escape this catastrophe .

Xiao Qihan never thinks that he is such a noble and great man, on the contrary, he is actually a very cunning and ruthless person.

He doesn't allow anyone to threaten Xingfeng's peaceful life now.

It was the same for Gu Shishi.

Sacrificing Minglan is the best choice at the moment.

Ming Lan stayed in the General's Mansion for a few days, Gu Shishi would come to him and talk about the past, Ming Lan listened quietly most of the time.

Xu Fenglou was indeed very kind to Gu Shishi, that kind of love and care could be felt even by an indifferent person like him.

He lives in the house next to Fourteen and Xu Fenglou.

His hearing is very good, and the habits he has developed over the years of dark guards have made him extremely sharp at night, so sharp that he can hear the whispers of Gu Shisi and Xu Fenglou, Xu Fenglou's heavy breathing and Gu Shi Four scratching moans.....

Minglan kept her eyes open and survived the long night.

The day before Gu Shishi returned to Jinling, Shen Xingfeng took them to Baihuilou for dinner.

Everyone entered the table, and a few waiters began to serve food. Who knew that when the door was closed, those waiters showed their daggers one after another, "You dog thief, go to hell!"

Ming Lan was the first to react, he kicked away the table in front of him, and ran towards Gu Shisi one by one

That was the first time he didn't run in Xiao Qihan's direction.

Minglan didn't have martial arts, but he was still a secret guard who killed people without batting an eyelid, and soon the room was full of dead bodies.

Shen Xingfeng was furious, seized the remaining survivors, ordered people to drag them down for interrogation, and then led everyone back to the mansion.

Frightened by such a shock, Xu Fenglou was determined to take Gu Shishi back to Jinling.

Gu Shishi was also worried that Xu Fenglou would be in danger staying here, so he packed his bags and went out before dawn the next morning.

Shen Xingfeng was still sleeping, only Xiao Qihan and Ming Lan came to see them off.

Gu Shishi burst into tears: "Tell Xingfeng that he must come to the capital to find me."

Xiao Qihan: "When the weather is warmer, I will take him there. Xingfeng's body is not like yours. If you miss him, you are welcome to come to the General's Mansion."

Gu Shishi nodded and glanced at Minglan.

Minglan's back was a little stiff, he lowered his head, walked in front of Gu Shishi, gently held Gu Shishi's wrist, and then solemnly put the ruby ​​bracelet on Gu Shishi's wrist .

The white wrist is lined with red jade beads, like red plums blooming in winter, as beautiful as a painting.

In Gu Shishi's deep eyes, Ming Lan gave this hand to Xu Fenglou.

Xu Fenglou held Gu Shishi tightly, and took Gu Shishi back to their Jinling.

Minglan stood at the same spot, staring at the carriage that was drifting away, for some reason, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

"Master, the choice made by the subordinate yesterday is correct, right?"

Xiao Qihan sighed a little.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

It is too late to realize who the most important person is now.

That night, Minglan and Xiao Qihan resigned and returned to Xiaoyao Pavilion.

The author has something to say

The most heart-wrenching moment in the whole book was actually given to Minglan.
