Chapter Eighty-Seven: Wishes
After that, while everyone was eating a meal that was combined with breakfast and lunch, they pulled Li Yunxuan to ask questions. Xuanling www.biquge.info even painted all the white-bearded predecessors in the rivers and lakes, but she was too scumbag, and her works were all abstract art that Li Yunxuan couldn't understand.
At this point, the task in Mufu is completed. Yu Siqi didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and there was no cooking for various businesses after the war, and Tusi Muyang didn't have time to deal with Sikong Yan anymore.
The group packed up their things at the inn and prepared to rest for a while, and then rushed to the next town in the evening.
Before leaving, Shen Lanying found an excuse to leave. By this time, the fighting had subsided and people had resumed their normal routines, and she avoided the crowd and trotted all the way to the lake.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the lake is also covered with a layer of moonlight, the wind caresses the water surface, and the silver ripples swing into the distance in a circle.
The shore was empty, nothing but two large trees, and the leaves of the trees swayed softly with the evening breeze from the sparkling lake. The two trees are less than three meters apart and stretch upwards, but the branches and leaves of the trees are tangled together to form a canopy.
Locals say that this is called the Lover's Tree, and under the ground, the heels of the two trees are also entangled. Lovers who make a wish in front of them will be blessed with eternal happiness.
Shen Lanying looked up at the high canopy, and lowered her head to pick up two leaves on the ground by the moonlight. She made a wish in her heart that only she knew. Carefully wiped the floating soil on it with his sleeve, and as soon as he stuffed the two leaves into his arms, a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Why did you come here alone, what are you doing?"
Shen Lanying was startled, turned around suddenly, and looked at Sikong Yan who didn't know when she appeared in embarrassment, with a weak expression like a primary school student who was caught by the teacher for sabotage.
"I didn't ...... I didn't do anything. ”
As she spoke, the wind suddenly became stronger, blowing her long hair and dress with the wind, and the tall lover tree behind her, the rustling of leaves. Shen Lanying suddenly thought that if it was a spring afternoon, the fallen leaves turned into fallen flowers, and the water of Lugu Lake turned red gold, this scene must be extremely beautiful.
Right now......
"Ahh
I didn't want Sikong Yan to laugh out loud, his shoulders shook slightly when he laughed, and he shook his head helplessly, "It's such a big person, why are you still naughty like a child? We've got to get out of here, and we're in a hurry. He beckoned to Shen Lanying, who saw that he didn't mean to blame, so he ran towards him with a smile and walked back behind him obediently.
Along the way, Shen Lanying talked to Sikong Yan with a smile, and secretly scolded him, "You are naughty like a child, your whole family is naughty like a child!"
……
Got into the carriage and rushed to Chuzhou, it was already the second half of the night. Shen Lanying completely reported what happened in the army to Sikong Yan, who did not show any surprised expression, which showed that this was completely in his plan.
Shen Lanying felt more and more that there was no point in reporting to him, anyway, he must have deduced everything that could be deduced, and if he couldn't deduce it from the human brain, he would definitely send someone to monitor it. Boredomed, Shen Lanying leaned on the carriage and began to catch up on sleep.
The carriage was stable, but somehow she never fell asleep. Looking up, Sikong Yan found that he was reading intently through the candlestick. Shen Lanying whispered, "Don't you get motion sickness?"
Sikong Yan put down the book and asked, "Motion sickness?"
Under the flickering candle flame, his face was covered with a faint halo, and she didn't want to sleep anymore, Shen Lanying didn't answer his words, but took a deep breath and blew towards the candle flame.
"Hoo ......"
It was pitch black in the carriage. Sikong Yan cried and laughed, "Hey, what are you doing." I won't interfere with your sleep. ”
No, being too handsome is also an influence. Shen Lanying muttered inwardly, snatching the candlestick before Sikong Yan to prevent him from lighting the lamp again. "It's too bright, I can't sleep, besides, the light of the candle is too dim, it's not good for the eyes, you don't have to be in such a hurry to read. ”
Sikong Yan opened the curtain on the carriage, looked out the window, and said, "It's not a book, it's an excerpt from His Majesty Emperor Hui." ”
Shen Lanying only felt a cold wind pouring in, shrank into the corner, and asked in shock, "How can the emperor's fold be in your hands!"
"It's an excerpt from ten days ago, it's not difficult to get it...... What's wrong with you, cold?"
Nonsense! Can you open the window at night without getting cold!
"It's okay, you drive yours, it doesn't matter. ”
Before she finished speaking, a palm was placed on her forehead, and before she could react, the other party had already made a conclusion, "I'll go, you have a fever, damn it, how can it be at this time." ”
It turned out to be a fever, no wonder it feels so cold, wait, what's wrong with this time now?
Before he could ask, Sikong Yan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You can't stop now, that assassin is not so easy to give up, it is very likely that he will follow us, and even Nanban may send someone to kill you, now we haven't left Yunzhou yet, as long as something happens to you here, the responsibility is Mufu's, and Nanban will naturally benefit." What's more, there's the assassin. Therefore, if you want to find a medicine shop to dispense medicine for you, you can only wait until tomorrow after entering the city. ”
Shen Lanying secretly took a breath, not for the killers who might appear around her at any time, she had long been used to this dangerous environment, what made her feel frightened was that Sikong Yan said that she would give her medicine, no, this resolutely resisted!
"Ahem, in fact, you don't need to let me take medicine, if I have a fever, it should be because I haven't slept much for the past few days, and then I fell into the water again, and then the night wind blew for a long time, it's not a big deal, I'll sleep for a while." ”
"A few days?" Sikong Yan asked with a frown.
Shen Lanying was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was asking her how long she hadn't slept, "It's okay, it's just two days." ”
"You've stayed up two all-nighters?" Sikong Yan's voice rose a little.
Shen Lanying didn't care much and said, "It's been exactly three days now, who is more powerful than Xia Kegen's killer?"
Sikong Yan didn't answer her words, and finally glanced out the window, closed the curtain, turned his head and said two words, "Come here." ”
"Ahh......h
"Come over again. ”
"Oh. She moved a little more, and before she could sit down, Sikong Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed her into his arms. Without waiting for her to react to what was happening, she only heard a dull sound of "dong", and a sharp dagger had already been inserted from the outside, and the blade was more than half a foot long when it entered the carriage, and the position was exactly where Shen Lanying was sitting a second ago.
