Step on a branch

Chapter 28
Jin Shu'er is timid?
A little curiosity arose in Lin Fan's heart.

His Highness the Second Highness and Jin Shu'er are husband and wife, but they still cover it up, and the follow-up treatment can't be like the previous round, where Jin Shu'er himself or the maids around her are tied up and scared.

The so-called divorce seems to be a matter between Zhao Qi and Qin Luan, and Jin Shu'er will be involved at most.

But in fact, the real core is only the emperor.

What the emperor thinks and how the emperor ends is the only thing that can determine the direction of the marriage.

This is the biggest difference from the previous round.

Lin Fan wanted to see what method this little nun would use to break the situation.

Therefore, seeing that Qin Luan needed his help, Lin Fan did not refuse.

Qin Luan glanced at the sky.

The clouds are thick and the stars are few. In another hour or two, there will be no clear moonlight.

"Let's wait until after the third watch." Qin Luan said.

Lin Fan had no objection, seeing Qin Luan holding Fuchen and looking serious thinking, he didn't ask any more questions.

Come to think of it, when Qin Luan has thought through all the links, he will talk about it in detail.

The waiting time is not long.

It's just that in the autumn night, even the shelter from the wind is a bit chilly.

Lin Fan himself was not afraid of the cold, but he couldn't figure out Qin Luan's situation.

He looked at Qin Luan.

Qin Luan was still sitting there, her posture unchanged, her eyes closed, as if she had the intention of practicing Taoism.

The taoist robe on his body looked rather flimsy.

Lin Fan couldn't help but frowned.

According to the rumors, Qin Luan was so sick that he could only breathe a sigh of relief when he was young, but he gradually recovered after receiving advice from the fairy aunt.

Lin Fan didn't know how he recovered or whether he was weaker than normal.

If Qin Feng was here, Lin Fan didn't have to worry about this, as his elder brother was responsible for everything.

But only he is...

No matter why they decided to meet at Xisi Hutong at night, if Qin Luan fell ill due to cold, the straight-tempered Marquis Yongning would pursue him, and the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion might not be able to be kept.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan waved to Qian'er who was standing obediently beside him.

"I'll send someone to buy some food," Lin Fan said, "Does your girl have any taboos?"

Qian'er replied: "Miss eats lightly. If you eat too much at night, you may not be able to digest it. Just a small porridge."

Lin Fan understood, and asked his followers to go for a walk.

The hot porridge was packed in a food box, and the temperature was just right when it was delivered to the house, with two servings of tableware.

Lin Fan handed it to Qian'er: "Share it with your girl."

Qian'er took the food box and asked, "Doesn't the Duke use it?"

"No, I bought another one."

Money is clear.

Seeing the food box, Qin Luan thanked Lin Fan.

Qian'er was in a bit of trouble.

In this house, the only usable chairs are two stone benches, and there is a table, but I dare not use it, and I can't tell when it will collapse.

It will be bad if you hit someone or spoil the hot porridge.

Qin Luan pointed out: "Use the stool as a table, just squat down and eat."

Qian'er's eyes lit up, and he did as he said.

Lin Fan handed over the food box and went out to the outside of the yard.

Lin Fan turned around and went back inside after listening to a few things reported by his relatives and spending two buns at the same time.

When he got to the corridor and saw the master and servant squatting there, he couldn't help being stunned.

Of course Lin Fan knew that the disciples of generals were not that particular about basic necessities of life.

He himself is the same.

When wearing the crown of the Duke of the State, it is expensive, and when wearing the official uniform of the red guard, it is upright. If you are on the school grounds, no one cares about those things.

Rolling in the mud and drenching in the rain are common.

Not only the men, but also the women of the Jiangmen, even Princess Pingyang, the head of the guards, used to be at the forefront.

However, after the establishment of the dynasty, female soldiers and generals were rare.

The girls in Jiangmen changed into fancy clothes, and most of them no longer practice martial arts. Occasionally, a few girls still let their girls practice martial arts, mostly for the sake of strengthening their bodies.

Whether you practice or not, you pay great attention to proper manners on weekdays.

Right now, it's not that they have arrived at the school grounds or entered the garrison. Those who are as careless as Qin Luan are rare.

Thinking about it later, Qin Luan was different from other girls who still wore Taoist robes as their daily attire after going down the mountain and returning to Beijing.

Both Qin Luan and Qian'er heard the sound of footsteps, looked up, and met Lin Fan's gaze.

As keen as Qin Luan, he saw the surprise in Lin Fan's eyes.

Smiling, Qin Luan asked Qian'er, "Have you practiced kung fu today?"

Qian'er subconsciously replied: "After getting up in the morning, I punched twice and practiced marksmanship for half an hour."

"Great!" Qin Luan nodded in satisfaction.

Qian'er smiled happily, and added half a bowl of porridge for herself.

Of course Lin Fan could tell that Qin Luan was asking him on purpose, and while being amused, asked, "Has Miss Qin practiced kung fu today?"

"49 talismans," Qin Luan said, "to keep you safe, if the Duke wants, I can give you a few."

Qian'er hurriedly added: "Our girl's safety talisman is effective, and everyone who has used it agrees that it is good. The second lady likes it very much."

Lin Fan: ...

Should he say "thank you"?
Fortunately, Qin Luan did not bother to send the talisman, and said slowly: "After returning to Beijing, the daily classes have been reduced a lot. When I was still on the mountain, I chopped firewood and cleaned every day. No one can be lazy."

Lin Fan was quite surprised when he heard this.

Qin Luan studied under Xiangu Muyun, and Xiangu also chops firewood?
"Yes," Qin Luan saw Lin Fan's question, "regardless of whether the Taoism is superior or not, we still need to chop firewood and sweep."

When mentioning life in Guanzhong, Qian'er was very interested and curious to hear more from Qin Luan.

While speaking, time passed.

It's three o'clock.

Behind the clouds, the moonlight was barely visible.

Qin Luan said: "Let the Duke lead the way to the north gate of the Duke's Mansion."

An Guogong's mansion faces south from the north, and the north gate is also the back gate.

Along the way, Lin Fan paid close attention to the situation on the left and right. At this moment, the street was quiet, but he had to be careful, lest the watchman find out. Therefore, he didn't bother to ask Qin Luan a few more questions.

When he got there, he said, "What are you going to do?"

Qin Luan said: "Over the wall, I want to go in and find Jin Shu'er."

"what?"

"I'm average in skill, so I need to ask the Duke to observe the surroundings for me, so as not to let other people in the house notice," Qin Luan said, "especially when I'm laying out the law."

Lin Fan raised her eyebrows: "Is this the help you said?"

"I helped one of them," Qin Luan replied bluntly, "There are other things after that, and the Duke needs to help."

Lin Fan asked again: "What is Bufa?"

"I learned a little bit of tricks from Master." Qin Luan thought for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, I really won't hurt anyone."

Lin Fan clicked his tongue.

Whether it will harm others, he doesn't know.

Harm him, is the real deal.

Commander of the Red Guards, in the middle of the night, overturned the courtyard wall of Duke Anguo's mansion, is it plausible?

Not to mention protecting a Taoist nun who is clothed in the law.

This favor is really hard to help.

Lin Fan stood under the north wall of An Guogong's mansion, looking at Qin Luan who was gesticulating the height of the wall in front of him, feeling a flash of regret in his heart.

Everyone said that he, Lin Fan, was annoying, but now it seemed that there was someone outside of him.

No matter whether he thinks about it or not, it's all whimsical. Compared with Qin Luan, Lin Fan feels ashamed.
