Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 75

"Isn't the next one... it's Zhongli's turn?"

The cold wind was howling outside, constantly beating against the window lattice, and there seemed to be a beast in the dark night with its bloody mouth open, trying to swallow all the light in the world.

The fire in the room flickered, reflecting Pei Shixi's handsome face, he stared at Lan Yubai, but said calmly: "Take your time, don't worry, the Yue family is gone, how long can Zhongli Yimai still laugh?" Woolen cloth?"

"I gave up Yuehan and returned to the Chinu tribe. He will raise his troops to attack Yunzhou Island in a short time. The island has already deployed internal support. Dongmu has no chance of winning this battle. Just wait and see, the Zhongli clan will occupy the island. As a king, with a hundred years of glory, I’m afraid it’s not easy to be a prisoner once? Xi Yuehan also promised me, and he will definitely ‘entertain’ Zhongli’s people well...”

Hearing Pei Shixi's words, Lan Yubai's heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't help taking a deep breath, a satisfied smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face.

Late at night, the dew is heavy, old people get together, and there will be a different time in the end.

Lan Yu flicked his white sleeves, stood up, and said leisurely: "Okay, I'm going back. I'm here to deliver medicine to you, and I'm also here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving the imperial city early tomorrow morning. I went back to Youzhou..."

He and Ning Jiuniang have been in the imperial city for a while. Although Emperor Yun loves his sister, he is suspicious. According to the will, it is time for the couple to go back to Youzhou. Step into the imperial city and spend New Year's Eve with Princess Zhaoyin on the pagoda with Yue Wujiu.

After hearing the news that Lan Yubai was going back to Youzhou, Pei Shixi twitched his eyelashes, and seemed to think of something, and said suddenly: "By the way, is your wife still holding on to the Yue family case?"

"Jiu Niang, she..." Lan Yubai's body was visibly stiff, and he hurriedly turned his face away, afraid that Pei Shixi would notice the unnatural expression on his face. After adjusting his disordered breathing, he said in a low voice: " She didn't pay much attention to that case anymore, I think she has gradually walked out, and now she has set up a small Buddhist hall at home, eating fast and chanting Buddha every day, saying that she wants to be like Princess Zhaoyin, chanting sutras for the souls of the Yue family ..."

"is it?"

Pei Shixi's tone was a bit cool, and his wolf eyes were fixed on Lan Yubai, "You better not lie to me."

Pei Shouzun of Tangtang Town Fusi has interrogated countless prisoners, how could he not see Lan Yubai's "deliberate cover"?

He raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, but he didn't try to expose Lan Yubai, but changed the subject: "If your wife still insists on investigating, one day, she really gets a glimpse of the truth under the sword, what will you do?" ? Are you going to kill her?"

This question was so sharp that it touched people's hearts, Lan Yubai even trembled for breath.

Pei Shixi didn't intend to let him go, and asked sharply behind him: "Answer me, will you kill her?"

"I, I don't know..."

Lan Yubai was short of breath, his heart was in a mess, he closed his eyes, his palms were sweating.

So Pei Shixi understood completely, he snorted coldly, his gaze froze behind Lan Yubai, and he jumped out word by word coldly:
"Lan Yubai, you've really moved your heart towards Ning Jiuniang, haven't you?"

People are so strange, holding a chess piece in their hands, thinking that they are planning every step of the way, but never thought that one day, they would be reluctant to let go of the chess piece in their hands.

For so many years, Ning Jiuniang's health has not been very good. Since she got married, she has not been able to conceive a child smoothly. This is a knot in her heart for many years, but Lan Yubai has never said a word on this matter. Instead, he has been gently enlightening Ning Jiuniang, trying every means to make her smile.

At first it was acting, but as it continued to act, something seemed to change quietly during the day and night together.

Does he love Ning Jiuniang?He didn't know, he only knew that when his mother cared about Jiuniang's failure to conceive and urged him to take a concubine, he rejected her request and even stuffed all the beautiful maids in his room. They were all driven out.

Was this intentionally made for Jiu Niang to see?He couldn't tell the difference. When Jiu Niang snuggled into his arms and was moved to tears because of his unwavering love, he was also confused. For a while, he couldn't tell whether he was sincere or fake.

Perhaps, he just couldn't bear to let the chess piece in his hand that had been with him for a long time slip down and completely disappear in his life.

The house fell into a long dead silence, and the cold wind outside was howling, blowing more and more violently, making one's heart even more panicky.

Lan Yubai's chest was heaving, and at the moment before Pei Shixi was about to erupt, he finally turned his head, met Pei Shixi's ice-cold eyes, and said clearly under the lamp:
"King Huofeng Ming is here, and the Helan clan swears allegiance to the death, and the century-old covenant will never die."

They have been dormant in Youzhou for hundreds of years, and have taken root to this day. They have already become the No. [-] family in Youzhou. The name of the Lan family resounds throughout Dongmu, but how many people know that this Lan is not Bilan, and the real full name is Helan——

The compound surname is Helan.

This former royal family member who should have disappeared on the land of Dongmu hundreds of years ago.

"If it weren't for the high priest, our small branch would not survive to this day. Don't worry, I know the way ahead."

Under Pei Shixi's watchful eyes, Lan Yubai stretched out his hand suddenly, took off his outer robe without hesitation, and pulled off the snow-white inner garment heavily, revealing his large white and strong chest——

On the chest, there is a lifelike fire phoenix!

While the candle was flickering, Lan Yubai sat down in front of Pei Shixi again. He grabbed his hand and pressed it on his chest involuntarily, and pressed it on the fire phoenix totem.

Pei Shixi struggled a little, but felt Lan Yu's burning eyes.

He watched him, and he felt his warm and powerful heartbeat in his palm.

The two looked at each other, but under Lan Yubai's calm face, there seemed to be a raging fire. His throat was rolling, and he said word by word, firmly:

"You heard me clearly, no matter what happens, the Helan clan of Youzhou will always be loyal to your Feng clan, and will be with you, walking hand in hand, facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, and will never hesitate to die. This point will never change."

-

In the early morning mist lingers and the wind blows across the sky, a carriage is driving on the mountain road, it is Lan Yubai and Ning Jiuniang who left the imperial city and returned to Youzhou.

"After we leave, I don't know how long it will take to see my mother again. How hard it is for her to be alone on that pagoda..."

In the carriage, Ning Jiuniang's face was pale and her lips were bloodless. When she thought of Princess Zhaoyin on the pagoda, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lan Yubai held her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't think too much, won't we be able to return to the imperial city at the end of the year, and go to the pagoda to meet my mother? And Ayue, he I'll be back too, you have to take care of yourself, won't you still have to make that emerald sorbet for Ah Yue?"

"Yes, there is also Ah Yue, I have to wait for him to come back and make him jade sorbet with my own hands..."

Ning Jiuniang wiped away her tears, looked at Lan Yubai, her long eyelashes trembling, "You're right, I have to support myself, I can't fall down, I haven't found out the real culprit behind the frame of Yue's family yet... ..."

Lan Yubai's lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say a word to Ning Jiuniang, whose eyes were burning with conviction.

He could only pat her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't think about it, just sleep for a while."

Ning Jiuniang nodded, and slowly closed her eyes. Before she could relax her tense heartstrings, there was a loud noise outside, smoke and dust billowing, and a horse neighing. She was startled, and before she could react, Lan Yu Bai had already hugged her, and jumped out of the car in a flash.

"Who are you? Robbery?"

A group of men in black surrounded the carriage, swords abounded, the coachman and several attendants were killed on the spot, and blood flowed down the mountain road all the way, which was shocking.

As the wind blew across the fields, Lan Yubai held Ning Jiuniang tightly in his arms, and with sharp eyes, he swept across the murderous men in black one by one.

His eyelids were twitching, and an intuition had already arisen in his heart. He knew who sent these people and why they came.

It's just that he couldn't say it clearly, and he had to deliberately say that they were "robbing the way", so as to mislead Ning Jiuniang.

It's a pity that Ning Jiuniang is not stupid. She looked at the men in black who surrounded them, held her breath, and leaned into Lan Yubai's ear and said, "Is it the killer sent by Queen Wei? She knows that we are investigating The case of the Yue family is over, so you want to kill people to silence it?"

Lan Yubai pursed her lips tightly, glanced around, without saying a word.

Sure enough, the target of those men in black was Ning Jiuniang. Between swords and swords, they headed straight for her, with fierce moves, clearly intending to put her to death!

If Lan Yubai didn't protect her with all her strength, I'm afraid she would have become a victim of the knife in the hands of these people!

Waves of murderous intentions came, which naturally confirmed Ning Jiuniang's conjecture in her heart. She gritted her teeth in the mountain wind and said: "The vicious people behind the scenes want to kill the grass and root out the root, and completely wipe out the last hope of the Yue family to reverse the case." Extinct?!"

Shrouded in mist, blowing in the cold wind, amidst the scuffle, Ning Jiuniang suddenly felt a pain in her waist, as if she had been hit by some hidden weapon. Her pupils shrank suddenly, her body softened, and she slowly fell on Lan Yubai's body. shoulders.

But in fact, what hit her was not the hidden weapons shot by those men in black, but the stones that Lan Yubai flew out of his fingertips while he was in chaos. He precisely hit her acupuncture points, making her unconscious past.

When Ning Jiuniang fell into Lan Yubai's arms, he shouted angrily: "Enough, don't force me anymore!"

While the internal force was surging, Lan Yubai threw out several palms, knocking down a group of men in black.

He hugged Ning Jiuniang tightly with one hand, and strangled a man in black viciously with the other, almost gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't force me to kill you, I know who sent you!"

On the mountain road, Lan Yubai's scorching gaze swept across the men in black. That face, which was always elegant and handsome, was full of fierceness in the cold wind. .

"Go back and tell that man, I can walk the road under my feet, I don't need him to manipulate me, Jiu Niang is my wife, I will arrange everything myself, and I won't let her mess up the game, but I will never Will... let anyone hurt her!"
