last time

Chapter 112 Can Xue
The clear dew of the moon spring sweeps the steps of the sky, the night is like water, but it is frosty.

Li Xunchuan looked down at the person sleeping in his arms, rubbed his chin affectionately on the top of her hair, held Zhuo Ran with both hands to warm him up, and couldn't help but stick the medicine bowl on the desk several times, Finally, I felt the temperature was right, so I reached out and took it.

Li Xunchuan changed his posture, leaned Zhuo Ran's head lightly in his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and then took a spoonful of bitter medicine to Zhuo Ran's lips.

"Xiaqiu, open your mouth..." Li Yuchuan whispered her name in her ear.

Zhuo Ran held the medicine spoon in her mouth, frowned and swallowed the medicine. Every time she took a sip, Li Yanchuan kissed her, like some kind of reward.Li Xunchuan put down the medicine bowl, kissed her bitter lips, and said softly, "Good boy..."

When Wen Rongxi asked Jing Shan to hand over the letter to him that day, he knew Wen Rongxi's intentions.Luzhou didn't know that the person Chu Shiyu sent was Li Yuchuan, and that letter was just a reason for the group of people who stayed in Yidong.It was thanks to Wen Rongxi's letter that Li Yunchuan came to find Zhuo Ran smoothly.

Ruofei knew the way, Li Xunchuan rode a bamboo stone, his footsteps were much faster, he didn't go far from Gaodu, but fortunately he arrived in time.

When Li Xunchuan first arrived in Suicheng, he didn't dare to show his face, but saw Xiong Zhenghao and Liu Yulin who were looking for Jiang Rulan everywhere, learned everything from them, and bet on the things he thought of, and sure enough, Ruofei hovered in the air for a while, Li Xunchuan followed it all the way to the north.

Li Xunchuan held Zhuo Ran's wrist, touched the red rope wrapped around her wrist, then put it on his lips and kissed her, then gently hugged her tightly.

Fortunately, his flaws are very smart.

Fortunately, he did not give up and come back.

Zhuo Ran stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Yanchuan's finger, she obviously didn't open her eyes, but she still grasped it accurately.Li Xunchuan smiled slightly, held her hand behind his back, and patted her on the back twice, like coaxing a child.

***
Jiang Rulan was rescued after Li Yangchuan came back with Zhuo Ran in his arms.Mu Cheng and Ou Li saw that so many people suddenly came to the store, and they were all officials, so they guessed that the identity of the person above was not simple.

Ou Li lowered his head and counted, while Mu Cheng tilted his head and said softly, "Did that tall guy fall in love with Miss Li? Has he been in the human room for so long?"

Ou Li ignored him and said, "If you're free, go and wipe the dishes."

Mu Cheng made a "tsk" sound and said, "You will be like this. By the way, where is your daughter?"

"You're teasing a child up there." Ou Li responded casually, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "That child is wrapped in Miss Li's clothes, could it be their illegitimate child?"

Mu Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then said, "You make sense."

Jiang Rulan changed into clean clothes, and muttered for a long time, accusing Zhuo Ran for a long time, several pots of tea were dried, but he didn't stop talking.

Xiong Zhenghao was about to fall asleep with his arms propped up, but was hit by Liu Yulin and woke up instantly.

Jiang Rulan's voice was a little noisy at this time, and Xiong Zhenghao stuck his fingers into his hair and said, "Why didn't you say these things when the Governor was here, but now no one listens."

The tea that Jiang Rulan was about to drink was stuck in the air.

"Okay," Liu Yulin pointed at the table, and said, "The governor just said his conjecture. Li Chengru's next step is to go to Luocheng. Now that the prince has found him, let's discuss whether we should go back to Gaodu or continue to chase after him." Go to Los Angeles?"

Xiong Zhenghao lowered his eyes and said, "Just now Wu Song said that he saw Li Chengru appearing here, so there should be time to catch up with him."

Liu Yulin shook his head and said, "But the governor didn't mention Li Chengru? The prince should be in his hands. If he and Si Ye had a fight in that ruined temple, and Li Chengru didn't want to give up the prince, he would definitely get nothing." Good thing, how could you escape so easily?"

Xiong Zhenghao propped his chin and said, "Then you can ask Zhuo... Siye."

"Do I have a chance to ask?" Liu Yulin glared at him.

Jiang Rulan frowned and said, "Since the Luoshan Bandit has something to do with Li Chengru, then go back to Gaodu first, report the situation to His Majesty before making a decision."

"It's too late." Xiong Zhenghao said: "When we return to Gaodu, we will send people to Luocheng. The time delay will be enough for Li Chengru to do evil in another city."

Liu Yulin sighed, and said, "Then...if we chase after Luo City, what should the little prince and Si Ye do?"

Xiong Zheng was silent.

Although Zhuo Ran was already a dead person in the eyes of the people in the world, if she reappeared in front of Chu Shiyu, there might be another uproar, and none of them could say anything about Zhuo Ran.Naturally, Li Xunchuan did too.If Chu Shiyu knew that he was desperate to come to Suicheng, he would be severely punished for anything he said.

Neither can be said.

Xiong Zhenghao thought for a moment, and said: "Master Jiang, you go back to Gaodu alone. The governor is going back to Yidong, and you don't know martial arts. If something happens, the governor can protect you on the way."

Jiang Rulan frowned, and said, "Let's go back to Liu Jijiu, the Imperial College still needs you. I'm just a censor, so I should go to Los Angeles with Vice-General Xiong."

"There is no sacrificial wine in the Guozijian, and there is Dr. Siye," Liu Yulin looked at Jiang Rulan, and said, "Master Jiang is always by your side. He knows how to turn around many things. It is more appropriate for you to go back. After you report all the facts, you can lead others." Just come and join us, there is no rush."

Xiong Zhenghao nodded, and said, "You're right about sacrificial wine, Mr. Jiang just follow it this time."

Jiang Rulan could only nod her head heavily and said, "I understand. Then let's go tell the governor now."

Liu Yulin pressed his shoulders and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Jiang will not be too late to talk until tomorrow morning, isn't it Zhuo Siye who hasn't woken up yet?"

Jiang Rulan said "Oh" half-understood.

Xiong Zhenghao looked upstairs and secretly sighed.

***
At a quarter o'clock the next day.

Zhuo Ran turned over in Li Yanchuan's arms, and Li Yanchuan woke up suddenly.His posture was still as if protecting Zhuo Ran, Li Yanchuan raised his hand and touched the top of Zhuo Ran's hair, pulled the quilt on her shoulders to her neck, wrapped her up carefully, and kissed her again.

"Hot..." Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, her head was raised slightly, and beads of sweat were indeed covering her neck.

Li Xunchuan touched her cheek and said softly, "Are you awake?"

Zhuo Ran curled into his arms, wrapping his arms around his waist, just like the night before they parted.Li Xunchuan rubbed the back of her neck and said, "What's wrong?"

"...Huh?" Li Xunchuan asked her in a nasal voice, Zhuo Ran didn't speak, Li Xunchuan endured it for a moment, one long leg was pressed on Zhuo Ran's body, and with a slight effort, he turned over and pressed on Zhuo Ran's body.

He put his arms out some distance and said, "Still talking?"

Zhuo Ran opened his eyes.

"You haven't replied..." Zhuo Ran put his hands on his chest and said in a hoarse voice: "...I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Li Xunchuan stared at her.

"...I've been waiting for a long time." Zhuo Ran smiled when she said this, but Li Yanchuan couldn't see her smile, and inadvertently, the reddishness still stained the corners of her eyes.

Li Xunchuan bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said, "...I heard that you entered the palace alone that day, and I was very worried."

He kissed the tip of her nose again, and said: "...I received your letter later, but it wasn't in your handwriting, so I was a little scared."

In the end, he licked her lips and said, "...They all told me that Zhuo Siye is gone, and I'm going crazy."

Zhuo Ran looked at his watery eyes, smiled softly, and said: "...If you don't want me, I will go crazy."

Li Xunchuan hugged him tightly, Zhuo Ran buried her tears in Li Xunchuan's chest, trembling slightly while clutching the clothes on his back, Li Xunchuan bit her lip, wiped the slipped tears on the pillow, let her After hugging and crying for a while, he finally did not forget what Mu Heng had said to him, and lightly patted Zhuo Ran on the back.

"Xiaqiu..." Li Yanchuan didn't dare to let her cry, and called her name in her ear, "Be obedient, don't cry, relax..."

Zhuo Ran gasped twice, Li Yanchuan kissed the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and raised his hand to cover her eyes.

Zhuo Ran gradually returned to normal, Li Yuchuan heaved a sigh of relief, fell beside her and closed his eyes.

"When will you go back to Yidong?" Zhuo Ran asked while hugging his arm.

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly, and said, "You're not in good health yet, so I won't leave for now."

Zhuo Ran half stood up, and said softly: "No, you can't stay here, Yi Dong has not finished solving it, you can't..."

"Then I'll take you away." Li Yuchuan met Zhuo Ran's eyes and said, "I'll take you to Yidong, you stay with me."

Zhuo Ran put his ears on Li Yuchuan's chest, and the strong heartbeat made Zhuo Ran feel at peace.She pinched Li Yanchuan's shoulder with her fingers and said, "Okay, I'll be with you."

Li Xunchuan hugged her.

When the sky was bright, Jiang Rulan and the three of them told Li Xunchuan about their plans for last night.

Zhuo Ran shook her head when she heard the words, and said, "No, Li Chengru didn't show up in Suicheng, he just sent a team over to kill the little prince."

"There are so many ways to kill the little prince, why are you so aggressive?" Xiong Zhenghao said.

Liu Yulin made a "tsk" sound and said, "You can't keep your voice down."

Jiang Rulan also said: "Last night, I also said that it is dangerous to chase Luocheng now. This time in Suicheng, we have already made a fuss and startled the snake. Why don't we go back to Gaodu and discuss it again."

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said: "If we can't grasp Li Chengru's movements, no matter how we deploy it, it will be futile. The solution you thought of last night is not impossible, Xiong Zhenghao, Liu Jijiu, you need to disguise yourself, otherwise it will be too much. swagger."

Xiong Zhengmo nodded slightly and said, "This subordinate knows."

"Master Jiang, please clean up, we will set off in the afternoon." Li Yuchuan said: "Please keep Zhuo Siye's rescue of the prince a secret. Since His Majesty has declared it to the world, let Zhuo Siye disappear completely."

Several people bowed their hands one after another and said, "Don't worry, Governor."

Li Yunchuan held Zhuo Ran's fingers in his palm, and Zhuo Ran scratched him twice.

"This is a prescription." Mu Heng folded the paper into cubes and stuffed it into the kit, then took out an exquisite bottle, and said, "It's not convenient for you to travel, if you feel uncomfortable, take the medicine in this bottle, one at a time." Pieces, don't eat too much."

Zhuo Ran couldn't help laughing when she saw that she stuffed the medicine into a small box.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Heng glared back at her, pointed to the things in the box and introduced them one by one, and only let her go when he knew what medicine Zhuo Ran could memorize and what it was for.

"Thank you, Mu Heng." Zhuo Ran patted the lid of the box and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mu Heng sighed and said, "You're welcome, who made you look so good-looking."

Zhuo Ran smiled slightly and said, "I will come to Suicheng if I have a chance, and I will come here to find you."

"You don't come to me again just to cure your illness." Mu Heng grabbed Zhuo Ran's hand and said, "You too, forgiving him so quickly, if it were me, I would definitely not easily agree to leave with him."

Zhuo Ran shook her arm and said: "Okay, okay, you know more or less about our affairs, next time I have a chance, I will explain it clearly to you from beginning to end."

Mu Heng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Suicheng."

***
Since Li Yuchuan left, Wen Rongxi tried to discuss with Jinpeng whether he could set up a trick to lure out the bandits in Los Angeles who were hiding in Yidong, but was rejected several times.

Jin Peng believed three points of Wen Rongxi's words, and seven points of hostility and suspicion.If he just said to deal with matters related to the Yan family's business route, he would naturally not stop him, and would help him if necessary, but he didn't believe Chu Shiyu.

After so many years, Gaodu has never given up the idea of ​​reconciling with Yi Dong. He knows that it is not a reconciliation, it is nothing more than doing everything under Gaodu's nose. He is not willing, and so is Feng Cheng. .

The battle at Ruoshuiwan consumed too much of Yi Dong's external feelings, and no matter what he said now, Yi Dong didn't want to accept Gaodu's affection.

This is something that no one can understand, except for the opposites at the two ends, which are very clear.

Wen Rongxi looked up on Yi Dong's long-lost sunny day, maybe Yi Dong was right, he had heard about the situation in Gaodu.Since even Li Chengru dared to rebel and even dared to hold the prince hostage, Emperor Chongwen was helpless. It was not because he had no defenses, but even if he did, it was useless. There would still be a second and a third time, but it was just a matter of time.

It was a little late for Emperor Chongwen to understand.

From the time of Zhuo Ting's incident, he has been led by the nose on the ever-changing chess field. It seems that many people are involved under his command, but in fact these people are exposed to the eyes of the people behind the scenes. It only needs to be pulled lightly, and the invisible thread will instantly destroy the entire chessboard, together with the chess pieces.

But the person behind the scenes will never be Li Chengru.

He gained as much as he lost, so there was no willingness to be reconciled, and no grand strategy. He only saw the high throne, and only saw Emperor Chongwen who was above ten thousand people.

The sun shone on Wen Rongxi's face, warm but with the unique coolness of autumn, and slowly, he closed his eyes.

"What are you thinking, young master?" Zisha followed behind him.

Wen Rongxi was wrapped in the warm sun, the shadow didn't drag very long, but the sleeves of his clothes were slightly curved.

Wen Rongxi smiled and said, "You must know everything about Gaodu."

Zisha raised her hand and brushed the veil lightly, saying: "Anyone or anything related to the royal family must not stay in the world for a long time, otherwise such things will never end."

"There will be connections between people." Wen Rongxi smiled when he heard this, and said, "How can you kill all the people you want to kill?"

Zisha shook her head slightly, and said: "The young master suddenly told me this, why?"

Wen Rongxi smiled and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for helping me collect information from other merchants these few days. If it goes well, within three days, those people should be ready to move."

"Young Master, don't take it lightly." Zisha put away the relaxation that had just fallen in the corner of his eyes, and said, "Even with these baits, they may not be able to take the bait, unless there is a greater benefit."

For merchants, money is the most important thing.There is no morality at all on this road, and it is also the most nonsensical reason. There is nothing more comforting than this in return for everything except real money.Similarly, what they hate the most is that someone makes trouble halfway. As long as they block their way to get rich, no one has the possibility of surviving.

In other words, such a sneaky underground organization can't have any influence on those corrupt officials at all, but if he stretches his hand too far and offends people like Wen Rongxi, no matter who it is, he will not let it go.

It's just that it's too difficult for Wen Rongxi to kill two birds with one stone.

"The governor hasn't come back yet." Zi Sha said, "Sir, don't you want to discuss it with him before you act?"

Wen Rongxi shook his head and said: "The governor will never agree to my request. This way is risking his life. The governor has something in his heart, and he will never turn back like this. It would be best if he is not around."

Zi Sha looked up at Wen Rongxi, and said, "Young master, isn't it all for Er Shao Yan? If something happens this time, Er Shao won't be sad?"

Wen Rongxi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then turned around to meet Zisha's gaze, and said, "Zisha...you have surpassed."

"I don't think my words are overstepping." Zisha showed a little toughness, and said: "Young master sent me to Yidong for my life and for your gratitude to the Yan family, and I just want to repay you for your kindness." The kindness is here to stay, if the son's heart is no longer here, then there is no reason for Zisha to stay here."

Wen Rongxi curled his lips and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Following his gaze, Zisha took a step back and said, "Zisha doesn't."

Wen Rongxi nodded slightly, and said, "Then what do you mean by what you just said?"

"...Can't there be another way?" Zisha paused for a moment.

No matter what the method is, it's enough to make Yi Dong suffer for a while, Wen Rongxi doesn't want to spend too much time talking with her, if he had a better way, he would have already done it before Li Yuchuan left.He is Yan Chengxuan's favorite student. He has always been steady, self-restraining, talented, and will not easily hurt others, but this time is different. If he has any omissions, he can't be solved by killing him alone.

No matter whose world this is, no matter who is stirring things up behind the scenes, at this moment, he doesn't need to give anyone an explanation, because it's not important and unnecessary.

Wen Rongxi suddenly remembered the poem that her husband told him.

"The east wind blows away the snow on the plum tip, and restores the world's spring overnight."

In the east wind that is not the east wind now, he took a deep look at Zisha.

Facing the hazy mountain scenery in the distance, he smiled miserably.
