Walking into the bluestone paved alley, inside is a quaint courtyard, the yard is not big, the atrium is only a dozen square squares, and the houses in the north and south are also very small.

In the atrium is an old, low-legged round table, mottled with a painted finish, on which is placed an antique teapot and two teacups. Next to the table were two rattan chairs that were a little old, Nalan Zhenshan was sitting on one of the rattan chairs with his eyes closed, his face was a little pale, his breathing was a little heavy, and his complexion was very bad.

"Second master"! Zuoqiu lowered his head slightly and shouted.

Nalan Zhenshan opened his eyes and squeezed out a faint smile, "Sit."

Zuoqiu sat on a wicker chair beside him and looked at the scenery around him, which was almost unsightly.

"The second master is a thrifty person".

"When I was young, I also pursued brocade clothes and horses, but now that I am older, I like to be simple and elegant."

Zuoqiu glanced at the somewhat sick Nalan Zhenshan, "Second Master don't worry, the Nalan family has a deep foundation, and no one can shake it."

Nalan Zhenshan snorted, "Outsiders naturally can't do it, but who can say for sure if the woe is Xiao Wall."

As he spoke, he looked at Zuoqiu, "Don't be restrained, I just want to talk to someone."

Zuo Qiu's eyebrows jumped, and he said with some flattery: "Thank you, Second Master, for looking up, the Nalan family is a masterpiece, and I am an outside、、、、r."

"The Nalan family is a masterpiece, but there are few sober-minded people, precisely because you are an outsider and a smart person, the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, I believe you can see it more clearly than most people."

"The second master is worried about Ziran's affairs?" Zuoqiu asked cautiously.

"Do you know what happened two days ago"?

Zuoqiu nodded.

"What do you think"?

Zuo Qiu's brows furrowed slightly, but he did not speak.

Nalan Zhenshan poured tea for Zuoqiu in advance with a teapot, "Tell the truth."

Zuoqiu pondered for a moment, "I am Ziran's person, and the second master can trust me"?

Nalan Zhenshan looked at Zuoqiu lightly, "I believe you are a smart person, and smart people know how to plan for the long term."

Zuoqiu nodded slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "I don't need to say more, the second master should know Ziran's temperament, he is too insecure, eager to prove himself, it is difficult to listen to the advice of others." It's good that this incident didn't cause a big disaster, but、、."

"But what"?

"But if it continues, something will happen sooner or later."

"Then what do you think I should do?" Nalan Zhenshan stared at Zuoqiu's eyes lightly.

Zuoqiu avoided Nalan Zhenshan's gaze, and his face was embarrassed.

"Say whatever you want, my Nalan family has always respected talents and treated them well, I just said, you are a smart person, you should know that you and the Nalan family are both prosperous and loss-making."

Zuoqiu took a deep breath and raised his head to meet Nalan Zhenshan's gaze, "Second Master, take your place." If it was in peacetime, Ziran could grow up slowly, but now, he can't cope with this situation."

Nalan Zhenshan raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, "More than one person has said these words to me, do you know why I haven't done it all along?"

"I know that the second master is a loyal and filial person, and he is unwilling to go against the old man's wishes."

"It's not just that I don't want to go against the old man's wishes, I know very well my ability, whether it's compared with the old man or compared with Nalan Zhenbang, it's too far behind

。 I am in my sixties, and my health has been getting worse and worse recently, how long can I support it, and if a family wants to last for a long time, it must always pin its hopes on the next generation. Ziran is not bad, what he lacks is experience and mental sharpening, I have always wanted to train him, and fortunately, I will have an explanation when I meet the old man in the future."

"I believe the words of the second master."

"But Ziran didn't believe it." Nalan Zhenshan's face was complicated, angry, painful, and helpless、、、、。

Zuoqiu sighed, "I have talked to Zi Ran about the second master's hard work, but the effect is not good."

Nalan Zhenshan took a deep breath, "So I decided to extend the supervision period and temporarily withdraw all his powers until this matter is over." As he spoke, he looked at Zuoqiu, "You are the only person he trusts, I hope you can help me tell him, let him concentrate on studying during this time, and I will transfer all the power to him in the future."

Zuo Qiu's brows furrowed, "Second Master, I can understand your contradictions, helplessness, entanglements and good intentions, but you should know that Zi Ran will not believe it."

Nalan Zhenshan leaned back on the rattan chair, looking tired, his face was full of tiredness and helplessness, and he exhaled a long breath, "So I hope you can help me stabilize him as much as possible."

Zuoqiu nodded, "I will do my best."

Nalan Zhenshan sat up and cast a grateful gaze, and after a while, asked, "Has Ziran been scared a lot in the past two days?"

"Well, two days ago, he was worried that Meng Hu would fall into the hands of the police, and he didn't sleep for two days and two nights, until he got the news that Meng Hu was dead today, and he slept in the office, and he hasn't woken up yet."

Nalan Zhenshan nodded, "Take good care of him for me, he is the future of the Nalan family, as long as this matter is successfully completed, he will grow up, and then he will be able to really provoke the Nalan family, and you will also become the number one hero of the Nalan family."

Zuoqiu said quite movingly: "Second master, Ziran will understand you sooner or later."

Nalan Zhenshan shook his head bitterly, "I don't need anyone to understand, this is what a person from the Nalan family should do."

Zuoqiu walked out of the alley, and the development of things was going step by step according to the plan, which should have been a happy thing, but he was not happy at all.

Putting aside the surname Nalan, in fact, the Nalan family does not have a bad person in the traditional sense, Nalan Ziran wants to do things for the family wholeheartedly, and he is indeed working very hard to do it, although his heart is insufficient, but with his age, with his high position, who will not guard the people around him. Nalan Zhenshan's deeds have been, he has responsibility for the family, if he has filial piety to Nalan Wen, and he has no selfishness for his children and nephews, he is a loyal, filial and selfless person. What they did was just to protect this home, and there was essentially no difference between Lu Shanmin guarding the people around him.

In most wars, except for the initial fuse, which can still distinguish between right and wrong, as the war deepens, it is impossible to distinguish who is right and who is wrong in the end.

However, war is war, and any war is cruel, and there is no need to distinguish between right and wrong, and there is no room for any sympathy.

Zuoqiu shook his head, he was not in the mood to think about these problems now, and there were more difficult problems waiting for him next, which was the most painful or helpless and helpless thing for him, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't solve it, because the initiative to solve the problem was not in his hands.

........

.......

Lu Shanmin didn't go out in the past two days, staying at home and watching

book, while recuperating from injuries.

However, he found it difficult to see, and in his state of mind, it had not been such a situation for a long time.

In the past two days, he studied Nalan Ziran again, and asked Zhou Tong to collect some of Nalan Ziran's usual trivial matters again.

What kind of person is Nalan Ziran? He is an ambitious person who has a hard time believing in others.

This kind of person's mode of thinking is typical of self-discipline, and what kind of person he is, it is easy to judge that others are the same people. He, Lu Shanmin, will risk his life for the sake of two nobodies, and the people around him will not feel anything, but Nalan Ziran will definitely feel that it is impossible, because if it were him, he would not do it. So, why did he use Yang Jie and Zhang Yu to lure him into the bait, and take such a big risk to get a group of mercenaries fully armed.

Lu Shanmin couldn't help but think of Zuoqiu, Zuoqiu's plan was to completely stimulate the contradiction between Nalan Zhenshan and Nalan Ziran, so that both of them could break through the bottom line, if Zuoqiu asked Nalan Ziran to do this, this incident happened to further realize the plan.

Thinking of what Zuoqiu said last time that he hoped not to hate him, thinking of Zuoqiu saying that as long as there is another fire, Nalan Zhenshan will break through the bottom line, Nalan Ziran will go crazy, and I think of what Nalan Zijian said that day、、、、

Lu Shanmin had a splitting headache, he didn't doubt Zuoqiu's loyalty, but he suspected that Zuoqiu used the people around him as pawns in order to implement the plan.

If it was really Zuoqiu who asked Nalan Ziran to do this, then Zuoqiu was the accomplice who killed Yang Jie and Zhang Yu.

He really wanted to question Zuoqiu, but what was the use of asking, what was it, did he want to kill Zuoqiu to avenge Yang Jie and Zhang Yu?

Lu Shanmin grabbed his hair with both hands, and his heart was entangled and painful.

Lu Shanmin didn't go to the canteen to eat in the past two days, and Han Yao came over from the canteen every day to bring him food.

Seeing that Lu Shanmin's face was pale and his complexion was very bad, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. Although she is still a student, she has been paying attention to it since she knew about Lu Shanmin and the Nalan family, and the identity of the eldest lady of the Han family can allow her to understand information that ordinary people can't understand.

The last car accident, she naturally didn't believe that it was a simple car accident, he was very worried that Lu Shanmin would have an accident, but he was very sensible and didn't get to the bottom of it, more often than not, he didn't know what to do, do his duty, do his duty as a fake girlfriend.

However, Lu Shanmin, who has always been unfazed and invincible, this is the first time he has seen such a painful expression, although Lu Shanmin tried his best to hide it after seeing her, the entanglement and pain on his face were still revealed.

Han Yao smiled slightly: "Eat quickly, if you don't eat it again, it will be cold."

Lu Shanmin also squeezed out a smile, although he didn't have an appetite, he still pretended to gobble it up and stuffed it into his mouth, but this meal, which usually tastes good, was a little difficult to swallow when swallowed, and he almost spit it out.

Han Yao patted Lu Shanmin on the back and quipped: "Let you eat quickly, and I didn't let you pour it into your mouth like a starving ghost." As he spoke, he handed the soup to Lu Shanmin, "Drink the soup, eat the rice one bite at a time, chew it slowly, so that you won't choke and it will be easier to digest."

Lu Shanmin looked at Han Yao with a smile, and heard her disguised comforting voice, I have to say that this is a girl with a blue heart, and she is very good at talking.

"Well, I know".

I've been busy lately, and in order to ensure quality, I'm sorry for the time being, so I'm sorry.
