Chapter 3: The Palace Banquet (3)

The man in front of him, who was chatting and laughing with several important ministers and clansmen, had a warm expression, and his unhurried appearance seemed to have never changed, as if he was really the son of a family who was drunk with mountains and rivers and indifferent power. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But now the changes in the court, it is this person who provoked it, and the virtuous king Nalan Rui in this person's mouth is approaching the prince's position step by step after this gentle smile, and now the East Palace has been forced to the side of this crumbling cliff.

The whispering courtier, just sighed, "This extremely elegant person, even if he is half distracted and ruthless, he can't see it", as soon as the voice fell, he felt that his shoulder was gently patted a few times, and he shook suddenly, only to find that Su Lan, who was not as handsome as a mortal, was standing behind him, but the eyes of the stars were flowing with a cold chill, and the smile on his lips was faintly impatient, and he was frightened for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

"My lord, above the palace banquet, you just need to enjoy the song and dance and taste the imperial meal. Su Lan smiled slightly, "It's best to talk less and eat more." ”

When he walked away, the man slowly came back to his senses, and said to the person next to him in shock: "That master's subordinates...", but as soon as these words came out, he hurriedly retracted them, and only looked in the direction where Su Lan was standing with trepidation.

Su Lan, who was smiling and talking to an old prince over there, turned her head slightly to this side, as if she glanced at it inadvertently, but it was as cold as ice, lined with her delicate and excessive facial features, which made people tremble.

"Third master. Su Lan walked to Nalan Rui's side with a smile, and the white jade cup in his hand touched him in the air, "It seems that it is time for the minister to go." ”

Nalan Rui's face was still mildly smiling, but at this moment, he brought a little sincerity, and said: "I just came to report, Lord Xuan has already gone from the East Palace to Jingzhao Yin Prison, and you should go at this time." ”

When the people around saw Su Lan coming towards Nalan Rui, they all pricked up their ears, trying their best to find out something. Su Lan is the most powerful person under Nalan Rui, and these two have never concealed this relationship, but they didn't expect that these two people would discuss this matter in this public, it really has nothing to do with them, and they still have no fear and don't care.

The smile on Su Lan's lips deepened a little when she felt the old gaze, but she also talked to Nalan Rui seriously about how to solve this matter, Nalan Rui said a few words to him, and smiled helplessly: "Look back at your old man's appearance, I'm really a little angry." Such an old fox in the deep city can force you to look like this, you are really capable. ”

After this joke was finished, even the eavesdroppers laughed, and they didn't feel embarrassed, they only laughed a few times, and then they realized that this old man of the Su family was really not a character he was qualified to ridicule, so he stopped his mouth and silently retreated to the side, and he didn't even remember eavesdropping.

"Your Highness. Su Lan sighed low at this time, and when she looked at Nalan Rui, there was a little more undisguised panic and uneasiness in her eyes, and the bright eyes that were smoked by this emotion were a little wet, but the already good-looking facial features were more and more beautiful.

Nalan Rui was also shaken by the beauty of the person in front of him, but it was only for a moment, and then he still smiled lightly, and said, "You are still young, you should be afraid." But I've been waiting for ten years, and I'm not afraid of anything. Since you have chosen this path, you should not be afraid. ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ignoring Su Jin's appearance of wanting to summon himself to his side several times, Su Lan said goodbye to a few people without hurry, and then stepped out of the hall with a big coat. I don't know when it snowed, the wind swept the snowflakes, and the big one that fell on his shoulder, the little eunuch behind him handed him an umbrella, he slowly opened it, and said, "You don't have to hold the lamp for me, it's snowing, and go back." ”

He held on to the twenty-four bone oil paper umbrella and walked slowly, only to feel that at this moment, the snow fell on the palace lamp, and it was this brilliant hall, and it was also instantly dimmed.

"Where are you going?"

Under the vermilion palace wall, a person stood quietly. The dark color is big, the combed hair bun is covered with snow, and the three most extreme colors in the world are gathered on one person at this moment, and in this dark night, it looks extraordinarily bright.

"Go to the lights of thousands of homes. Su Lan smiled brightly and accepted the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, "The beautiful scenery of a good day should not be disappointed." ”

"When it is about the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no moon to enjoy, and at this moment, it is also unique. The man was still standing in place, just looking at Su Lan and smiling slightly.

The man's facial features are excellent, even the best nuclear carver in the world is difficult to carve such a delicate appearance, his eyes are like a cold spring, his lips are like a rose, and his eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, which makes the person's lines more and more rigid, so charming, but very cold, it is really a contradictory and fascinating appearance.

Su Lan frowned slightly, this person was extremely cold, he knew better than anyone else. There is no gap in this coldness, as if nothing in this world has ever entered his eyes, and what power and calculation means to him is just as ordinary as eating and drinking. He is ruthless, so his heart is like iron.

"Cold as frost, as bright as a peach and plum. Su Lan stepped forward, the smile on her lips did not change, and her face was serious, she really praised this person's appearance, "If you can get Xuan Gongzi as a companion to admire the moon, you should die without regrets." ”

Xuan Xi raised his eyebrows, only glanced at him, then turned around and walked towards the palace gate, Su Lan also accepted the faint smile on his face, and walked on this road with him one after another, the snow fell for a few hours, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and the vermilion palace was gradually hidden.

The guards stationed in front of the palace gate have changed, and their clothes are different at a glance. The guards were dressed in brown uniforms, with ordinary armor and hats. And the guard standing in front of him, dressed in black, wearing silver armor, with ochre red on his hat, and tiger striped swords around his waist, with a solemn face, knew that this was a very brave guard.

"The movements of the Shence Army are really fast. Su Lan suddenly pulled out the sword on the waist of the guard next to him, the guard's face couldn't help but change, he only stared at Su Lan, and Xuan Xi, who was walking in front of him, also turned around, frowned slightly, looked at Su Lan, and said nothing.

Su Lan had a shallow smile on his face, he was really loose and happy, he held the sword in his right hand, his left hand slowly stroked the sword body, the scar running through the back of his hand, and the guards around him were secretly frightened, but his expression was really serious, as if he was appreciating the peerless masterpieces, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the cold light of the sword body flashed in front of Xuanxi's eyes.

"Yu Linwei wants to put on a good show, and the Shence Army naturally has to occupy a good position, and it is for you to be cheered on. Xuanxi's brows relaxed, and he actually smiled comfortably, and his face was like frost, because of this smile, it was vivid, like the ice and snow of the river and the sea.

Su Lan put the long sword in his hand in front of him, only revealing the phoenix eyes, looking at Xuanxi carefully, for a while, he smiled, and slowly walked towards Xuanxi, only throwing the long sword in his hand at will, so frightened that the guard was in a cold sweat for a moment, but when he heard the sound of "bang", the sword entered the scabbard on his waist steadily, and it was not shaking.

Hearing this, Su Lan laughed out loud, looked back at the guard, the man only felt that there were thousands of lights in front of him, and he heard a sentence: "You are allowed to change your clothes, this day is cold, sweating, be careful of the wind cold." ”

Before the words fell, I saw the big cloud that dragged the ground slowly disappeared in front of me.

There was a faint sandalwood burning in the carriage, mixed with a bit of gardenia aroma in the haze, and a light and fresh fragrance in the distance, which was very suitable for this season. The two people who sat on both sides of the carriage looked at each other through the curling smoke, their eyebrows dimmed in the unlit carriage, only the light in their eyes was like stars, and they actually saw each other's minds very thoroughly.

"When I got into the car, I was afraid that the eunuch of the palace gate was also shocked. Su Lan slowly closed her eyes, leaned back on the cushion behind her, and laughed out loud when she said this.

"You and I are rarely in the same car. There was also a faint smile in Xuan Xi's voice, "It's rare to speak so calmly." ”

"You need to know that most people in the world are eager for you and me to fight for a head and break the bloodstream, and never die. Su Lan sighed slightly, but there was a bit of an inexplicable smile in her tone.

"There is no need to break the head and bleed, it is too ruthless to not die, only one person will bow his head. ”

"I didn't know that this Xuanlang's hard-hearted heart was so merciful to me. Su Lan still smiled shallowly, as if she was really happy, "But you are already in the quagmire, can you really get out?"

"Lotus, out of the mud and not stained, is just the wish of the world. The branches are floating on the water, but the roots are still mired. ”

"The lotus flower can only be viewed from a distance, but it is not as edible as the lotus root, which can be used as medicine, which can be described as a spiritual root. ”

But in this world, there must always be a lotus flower for the world to worship. ”

"What about you, would you like to worship the lotus?"

"I'm just the root of the lotus root under the lotus leaf, how can I worship. ”

Su Lan heard this, but sighed lightly, his eyes met Xuanxi's calm eyes, no one in the car said anything, and in silence, that soft sigh seemed to be echoing.

"Two adults. Lu Zhiyan stepped forward to salute, and saw that the two of them were smirking, and their faces were cold, so they stopped greeting each other, and only said, "Please come with the lower officials." ”

Su Lan and Xuan Xi didn't speak, they just followed Lu Zhiyan's words and walked inward, their eyes met in an instant, and in the deep night, only each other saw the brilliance of each other's eyes.

This Lu Zhiyan is about to stand in the year, he is a well-known courtier in the Qingliu lineage, from an ordinary background, but he married the second daughter of the Jinxiang Bofu of the Li family in the ninth family, although it is related to the East Palace, but it is not implicated, so he is in Qingliu.

As he was walking, a man in iron armor walked quickly in front of Su Lan, bowed down, and said, "Song Fan see the general." ”

"Get up. Su Lan smiled faintly, and Song Fan walked up to him, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xuan Xi.

"I don't need to talk about the situation. Just tell me, can the assassin who escaped be caught?" Xuan Xi's face was still pale, and he really didn't reveal any emotions under the coldness.

"The subordinate is incompetent and has not yet been caught, but the assassin has been wounded and has sent men to chase him along the trail of blood. Song Fan clenched his fists slightly and said.

"How many Yulin guards are there in this Jingzhao Yin Mansion now, why aren't there sentry posts in front of the door, and why is no one patrolling along the way?" Su Lan's face was a little bad, and there was a faint coldness in his eyes when he looked at Song Fan.

"Back to the Hou Ye, when the guard was changed, the last general did not have many manpower, and this incident happened suddenly, at this time, the four gates were locked, and it was impossible to transfer troops from outside the city. Now, except for the pursuing brothers, the remaining forty people are all guarding near the cells, so there is no time to set up sentry posts in the front yard. When Song Fan saw Su Lan's appearance, he knew that he was a little angry, and hurriedly bowed down to ask for guilt.

"The Shence Army will be here within a quarter of an hour, I have already talked about the sentry deployment, and Lord Su doesn't have to worry. Xuanxi rarely smiled slightly, "May I ask Lord Lu, how is the situation in Jiangyuan?"

Lu Zhiyan heard that he finally asked Jiang Yuan, so he hurriedly said: "Weichen placed him in the West Cross Hospital of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, guarded by the doctor, fortunately he did not hurt the vital point, and his consciousness was quite sober. The bodies of the three assassins were also moved to the West Cross Courtyard and guarded together. ”

"Can you check it?" Su Lan looked at Song Fan.

The Admiral saw that there was no trace of the identity of the Assassin in the cell, so he removed the body. On the arm of the corpse, there is also a six-petal pear flower emblem. Song Fan said slowly, his voice fell, but he glanced at Xuanxi.
