Chapter 663: Lonely
The two walked like this for nearly a day, and although Liu Qilan was about to be exhausted, she kept supporting it with the stubbornness in her heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the contrary, it was Fan Bin, who went back and forth several times in his heart. I wanted to let go, but I was afraid that I would give her hope, and I felt heartache, and I had to harden my heart. On this day, he felt more tired from his inner struggle than on the battlefield.
At this time, seeing Liu Qilan talking about herself like this, and seeing her tears, Fan Bin's heart defense was suddenly defeated.
"How can you say that about yourself?" he roared in a low voice, "You are obviously a good woman, and I have always failed you. ”
Princess Chunhe watched from the sidelines, feeling that Fan Bin was not completely uninterested in her. At that moment, Tian Chai helped the fire and said: "Fan Duwei, how can Qi Lan also be the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, when has she ever suffered such a crime." ”
She took Liu Qilan's hand and broke her palm to show Fan Bin: "Fan Duwei, look, these hands should have been well cared for, but what has become of them now? ”
Hearing her say this, Liu Qilan's face turned red, she quickly retracted her hand behind her back, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, don't blame him." ”
Su Liangzhi sighed slightly, turned around and went into the room, took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine box, handed it to Princess Chunhe, and said, "Rub it on her, otherwise it will hurt even more tomorrow." ”
Princess Chunhe glared at Liu Qilan: "Take it out." ”
Liu Qilan reluctantly spread out her palms and let Princess Chunhe take medicine for her.
Fan Bin saw that her palm had several places worn by the reins, and there were a few blisters. No matter how gentle Princess Chunhe's action of applying the medicine was, it would also touch the injury, which made Liu Qilan can't help but shrink a little.
Su Liangzhi motioned for Fan Bin to go out of the courtyard with him, and asked in a low voice, "Fan Duwei, we are also familiar with each other." Tell me honestly, what is your plan for this?"
Fan Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor Su, you know me, and the only person I want in my heart is her." However, Xu Wanzhen is already married, and now he can't even mention his name.
"I know, but you can't die alone. Su Liangzhi gently persuaded: "I'll say a few more words, maybe you are the only descendant of the Fan family, and your parents are still looking forward to you extending their children for them in the spirit of heaven." ”
Fan Bin was slightly stunned, he also managed to find his parents after becoming the righteous son of General Long. However, apart from the gold lock plate engraved with his name and birth date on his body, there was no clue. The population movement in the northwest border is frequent, and those old people have disappeared and cannot be found.
Seeing his expression, Su Liangzhi continued: "With your identity, sooner or later you will start a family. Don't say that your father-in-law, General Long, even if the emperor sees that you have not married for a long time, he will also help you get married. When that happens, you might as well choose one that suits your heart. ”
Fan Bin leaned against the courtyard wall, wordlessly looking at the few stars hanging in the sky. At this moment, his mood was like those stars, cold and lonely.
Su Liangzhi said, how could he not know? Every time his father-in-law wrote a letter, he would ask that he had recently wanted to marry a woman from the same clan of the Long family to him. Although the emperor didn't mention it for the time being, he has always asked him to attend some banquets attended by nobles in the past two years, and the intention is unknown.
He is now twenty-three years old. All over the world, there are really only a handful of men who have not married a wife at this age. However, his heart was filled by Xu Wanzhen, although he couldn't get her heart, he only wanted to watch her from a distance and protect her.
Let him marry another woman? He couldn't imagine how he could spend the rest of his life with another woman.
He has been evading, wishing to soak in the barracks every day to train soldiers, and he does not want to attend those banquets with fragrant clothes and sideburns. But he knew in his heart that he couldn't hide for a few years. The father-in-law can still refuse, but when the holy decree is made, can he still resist the decree?
Seeing his appearance, Su Liangzhi sighed, a word of love is really harmful.
His niece is indeed a woman worth paying for, but she has never been in love with him. I didn't see it, but now that I met it, Su Liangzhi couldn't bear to see Fan Bin suffering so much, so he persuaded him.
"Think about it yourself, escaping is not the way to go. Su Liangzhi patted him on the shoulder and turned back into the courtyard.
Feeling his concern, Fan Bin nodded.
After a long silence, he went to his horse's luggage and took out a wine bag, and while drinking, he silently looked at the stars in the sky and thought about his thoughts.
As the night deepened, he heard that the neighbors had rested, heard Princess Chunhe return to the room after applying medicine to Liu Qilan, and heard Princess Chunhe whispering persuasion.
For Liu Qilan's stubborn persistence, it is impossible to say that he is not moved in the slightest.
However, he couldn't let go of Xu Wanzhen, and felt that if he married Liu Qilan, he thought about others in his heart, which would be unfair to Liu Qilan. Second, although he is in the capital, he is actually in the line of General Long, and he will go back sooner or later. Liu Qilan is a delicate woman, do you want to go back to the northwest border with him to suffer?
After thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, there was a flash of fire in the corner of his eye. He gazed in, and saw a cluster of flames burning across the courtyard from them, and in a moment it turned into a raging fire.
His eyebrows were solemn, and his right hand put down the wine bag and pressed it on the sword, and the whole person was as sharp as a sharp sword out of the sheath.
The figure next to him flashed, it was the guard of the Xiao Cavalry Guard. When you go out, although you are not directly under your authority, you will determine your subordination by your official rank.
He clenched his fists and obeyed: "My lord!"
Fan Bin nodded and ordered: "You immediately go and call the third master and the lady and wait for them." The other two guarded the yard, and the other two patrolled outside. Is there a code?"
"Yes, tonight, the frog is safe, and the night owl is the attack. ”
"Okay, I'll check on the situation. If it's not right, protect the horse master and they will go first, don't worry about me. ”
The horseman responded cleanly, and went to give the order to arrange manpower.
There was a noise in the courtyard, and the people who had just rested were startled. Liu Qilan's eyes were confused, and she had only slept for an hour, and the soreness in her body became worse and worse.
Princess Chunhe had already finished dressing and called her in a low voice: "Qilan, get up quickly." I'm afraid I'm in danger. ”
Liu Qilan suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly got dressed, and asked, "Sister Chunhe, what's going on?"
Princess Chunhe shook her head and said, "I don't know. Fan Duwei went to check the situation, and we waited for the time being. ”
Su Liangzhi flashed in from outside, gave them the short dagger in his hand, and said, "Just in case, in order to protect yourself." ”
Princess Chunhe took it calmly. Walking the rivers and lakes, she will naturally encounter dangerous times, and she has seen it twice, and she is not panicked.
But although Liu Qilan said that she left home for Fan Bin, she did not have enough understanding of such danger. Holding the dagger in her hand trembled slightly, looking at the cold light reflected on the dagger, she felt that this was really in danger.
