Chapter 11 The Ring
"It's fate, you're still alive." Li Yuchuan didn't give her a good look.

Zhuo Ran seemed to take a timid step back, lowered her head, and said, "It's just the governor's mercy."

Li Xunchuan took a step closer and said, "It's your luck. You are dying, but you still have one life left."

Zhuo Ran lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Li Yanchuan's eyes. The light from the high platform in the distance slowly reflected over him. With the dim light, Li Yanchuan couldn't see her clearly, but he could feel that Zhuo Ran and the others no the same.

The way she lowered her head looked like a wolf ready to go, dangerous enough, Li Xunchuan was used to being a wolf king, and when he saw a disobedient little wolf, he had plenty of ways to deal with her.

"Look up." Li Xunchuan said harshly.

Zhuo Ran had no choice but to raise her head, she smelled the smell of alcohol that made her very uncomfortable, her eyes were covered with glowing lights, but there was a monster inside.When I saw her in the pilgrimage hall that day, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful, but today she didn't have any emotions at all, and Li Yanchuan was a little dazed.

"I heard that you are a talented woman from Yongzhou, and you have an amazing look." Li Yuchuan buckled down and said, "Second Master wanted you and saved your life, what do you think?"

Zhuo Ran looked at him with a different look: "Second Lord, don't you feel disgusted?"

Li Xunchuan straightened up, this trick was learned in Huanlong Pavilion, it turned out to be so disgusting.But, what he did was disgusting, or she was disgusting.

Li Xunchuan was a little unsteady, he supported the wall behind him, but never took his eyes off her, and said: "You can't keep this face, it makes people want to scratch it."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Second Master is drunk, he wants to destroy everything he sees."

"That's right." Li Yanchuan thought for a while, and said, "Er Mao Xiaoluo combs her hair lazily, and her eyes are darkened frequently [1]. I don't understand these things, but I can still make you disappear."

Zhuo Ran slowly approached him, Li Yanchuan leaned back, he watched Zhuo Ran stretch out his hand, felt her slowly slipping from his chin to his neck, her fingers were cold, Li Yanchuan stared at her fiercely :"what you do?"

"A person who is covered in silk is not a silkworm farmer." Zhuo Ran was only as tall as his collarbone, and she pulled down his skirt with the other hand. Li Yuchuan was very close to her, and she said, "What do you think?" If you become the governor, you can get what you want? Second Master, wake up..."

Li Xunchuan pulled off her hand, turned around and pressed her against the wall, strangled her neck like he was in prison that day, and said, "I really can't give you any good face!"

"Did I poke your sore spot?" Zhuo Ran coughed twice and said, "Li Yuchuan, you won't be able to get out even if you kill me!"

Li Xunchuan let go, tripped lightly, and knocked him down, but Zhuo Ran reacted very quickly, grabbed Li Xunchuan's skirt and brought him down as well.

Zhuo Ran's back was in pain, she said: "What kind of gentleman are you pretending to be, if you want to sue, I'm afraid of you?"

Li Xunchuan supported the ground with one hand, and Zhuo Ran grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into Li Xunchuan's mouth, which made Li Xunchuan give up his support, grabbed Zhuo Ran's arm and pressed down hard: "I think you are saving your life, it seems that you are really alive!" Tired!"

Zhuo Ran raised her legs and pushed her knees up, and when Li Xunchuan relaxed, she rolled with him in the snow. She crawled to the side to hide, but Li Xunchuan grabbed her belt and pulled her back.

"Want to run?" Li Yanchuan tore off her belt, tied her hands in twos and twos, and brought her hands to the top of her head, but saw that Zhuo Ran was holding something in her hand.

"Give me back the badge!" Li Xunchuan held down her leg, unable to grab the badge again, so he said in a low voice.

Zhuo Ran stared at him: "Come and kill me, I'll give it back to you!"

Li Xunchuan turned her over, put his arm around her neck, raised his leg to lock her, and freed one hand to grab the waist card. Zhuo Ran pressed his hands down, and Li Xunchuan's long sleeves were wiped up. Zhuo Ran immediately bit Li Yanchuan's bare arm.

She didn't want to show mercy, and the smell of rust spread between her mouth and mouth.Li Xunchuan withdrew his hand in pain, Zhuo Ran immediately kicked over when he saw this, Li Xunchuan grabbed her ankle, and pulled her back again.

Zhuo Ran's bound hands clasped the ring on the little finger of his left hand tightly, and bit Li Yanchuan's neck again.

Li Xunchuan couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand to push her away, and stepped back: "Mother, you are a dog!"

Zhuo Ran spit out a mouthful of blood, bit off the knot tied by Li Yanchuan, rubbed his wrist, and panted, "The guess is pretty accurate."

"Give me the badge!"

Zhuo Ran raised her fist and was about to continue hitting, but Li Xunchuan stopped her first, then rolled to the ground again.

Fu Sisi heard that the movement was not good, so she hurried in to check it out, and was also shocked when she saw the appearance of the two of them.After finally pulling it away, seeing Zhuo Ran's face was covered with blood, he thought she was injured, so he hurriedly took her away.

Li Xunchuan lay there alone, touching the snow, it was extremely cold.

"Master Hou!"

***
Fu Sisi brought Zhuo Ran back to Zuixueting, but she didn't let go of her heart.Zhou Yu pulled Zhuo Ran around several times: "Ran'er, where is the injury?"

Zhuo Ran swallowed the fishy sweetness, and said, "No injury."

"Where did this blood come from?"

Zhuo Ran raised her shoulders: "Mad dog."

"It's good that it's not hurt, that bastard still has a sense of proportion." Seeing that Zhuo Ran was fine, Han Congzhong opened the wine gourd and took a sip of the wine.

Fu Sisi had lingering fears and said, "Xiaqiu, why did you fight with him?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head: "He doesn't like me, so it's impossible for me to be beaten to death by him, I have to give him some back."

Zhou Yu smiled: "This time he suffered a lot, Ran'er did a good job."

Fu Sisi wanted to go back to the Imperial Prison, but Zhuo Ran stopped her: "Sister Fu, this."

Fu Sisi took the badge and blinked: "The Governor's badge."

Zhuo Ran said: "Is this belt important?"

Fu Sisi shook her head: "It's not important, just add another one when it's gone."

"He won't tell what happened tonight." Zhou Yu said, "Sisi, don't worry, return it to him."

Fu Sisi nodded.

Han Congzhong savored the sweetness of the wine, looked at Zhuo Ran: "Girl, do you still have something to do?"

Zhuo Ran stretched out her hand, with a jade ring lying on her palm, she said: "I just caught this thing, it looks good, and it can sell for a good price."

Zhou Yu smiled: "Little girl, I'll take a look."

The jade ring reflected the light through the candlelight, and the inner and outer rings were a bit worn, but the jade was of good quality, without any flaws in the middle, Zhou Yu scratched his head in doubt: "This..."

Han Congzhong took the jade ring, put it on the flame, and vaguely saw the little wolf dormant in the ring, it was a shadow, but it was lifelike.

"This is Shang Luoqiu's stuff."

Han Congzhong said: "Girl, is this Li Yuchuan's?"

Zhuo Ran nodded.

Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "That bastard is Shang Luoqiu's son!"

Han Congzhong gave the ring to Zhuo Ran, and sighed: "Shang Luoqiu said that he would not marry in this life, so where did he get his son? It looks like he is his apprentice."

Zhuo Ran put away the ring, and asked: "Shang Luoqiu, is he one of the five masters of the year?"

Han Congzhong said: "Yes. When we parted, and then there was no news, I thought this guy was gone, but he has an apprentice, and his apprentice is still such a bastard. It's really a decline in the world!"

Zhou Yu said: "Put the ring away, and find a time to give it back to others."

Zhuo Ran stroked the ring, saw the bruise on her wrist, and suddenly thought of it.

not return.

***
Li Xunchuan fell asleep with his head under the quilt, as if he was angry and didn't see anyone, Xiao Qijing and Qi Du waited outside for him to wake up.

When Qi Du found him last night, he was lying in the snow with blood on his neck and arms, his face was pale and gloomy, and he was muttering something, Qi Du hurriedly brought someone back.

Xiao Qijing put the envelope that Li Junyi had brought over on the table, tidied it up, and said, "Qi Du, I'm very worried that Ah Yu is here."

Qi Du said: "Second Young Master is impatient, so he will inevitably suffer a lot in many things."

Xiao Qijing said: "Can you see his badge?"

"I didn't notice, it seems that I'm really not here." Qi Du looked through the clothes he changed last night, and said, "I won't lose it."

Xiao Qijing sat down and shook his head helplessly: "Maybe it was lost in an alley yesterday, send someone to look for it."

Qi Du searched around and came back, but he couldn't find it, but saw Xiao Qijing sitting there in a daze.

"master……"

Xiao Qijing gave a "hmm", and seeing that his hands were empty, he knew he hadn't found them, so he didn't ask.

Qi Du said: "Master, the official banquet is over, it's time for you to pack your bags. Second Young Master...he can't leave."

"However, Ah Yang is willing to stay in Gaodu for the sake of Beili." Xiao Qijing sighed, and said, "When my father-in-law died, Ah Yan was hit hard. He swore to avenge his father-in-law.

"I saw him galloping alone on the grassland. He looked so much like his father-in-law on the battlefield. Sometimes I couldn't even tell them apart. Obviously, my father-in-law is an eagle on the grassland, but I think Ah Yu is stronger than an eagle. He was a cruel and trapped beast, struggling on the grasslands of Beili. I remember that in the first year after his father-in-law left, he quietly led people into the big tent of the ten tribes of Gu Qiang, trying to assassinate the leader of Gu Qiang, but was killed The attendant found that he was hung on the fire frame together with the people who went there. When he was rescued, he was covered in scars. When Jun Yi applied the medicine to him, he just kept silent and kept apologizing, saying that he Wrong, saying that he did not do well enough, next time, he will definitely kill him.

"I saw the wolf nature for the first time in Ah Yu, who was 13 years old. After that, he followed Master Shang, and the wolf nature was stimulated again and again, so that he could be the commander of the army at the age of 15. Three years later, the new emperor ascended the throne and became the Champion Hou. I feel sorry for him, and Jun Yi also shed a lot of tears in a place where no one is around. We all only hope that Ah Yan is safe and happy, but none of us understand Ah Yan’s thoughts. He wants Beili to be safe forever, and he wants to be peaceful. Gu Qiang wants to keep the people of Beili safe and sound, sometimes even if we know the purpose, we can't help much."

Qi Du sighed again and again when he heard the words: "Second Young Master, he just hopes that we will be well."

Xiao Qijing pinched his eyebrows: "Ah Yu will always be my Beili person, and one day, the little wolf will grow up and come back."

People say that fallen leaves return to their roots, but perhaps no one can tell where the roots are.
