Chapter 128: The Shadow Royalty
"Ling'er, why are you here, didn't I let you stay there?" Lan Ruo's tone was a little reproachful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I see you haven't come back after half an hour, people are worried about you." Lan Ling said aggrievedly.
"Half an hour...... How did it take so long? Lan Ruo muttered.
According to Lan Ruo's feelings, he had only been away for about ten minutes at most, because this corridor was not very long, but Lan Ling said that he had been away for half an hour? Could it be that I just had a dream?
Lan Ruo suddenly remembered the woman just now, and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen a very beautiful woman?" ”
Lan Ling looked puzzled, and said while reaching out to touch Lan Ruo's forehead: "Cousin, you have a fever, when I came just now, you were alone in a daze at this Zhu Muzha, where are there any beauties?" What the hell are you? ”
Lan Ruo shook his head and said, "How can there be such a beautiful ghost." ”
Lan Ling pursed her lips and said a little unhappily: "Hmph, people are so worried about you, but you are here to have a tryst with a beautiful ghost!" ”
Lan Ruo smiled and said, "Okay, it's my fault, just now, maybe ...... It's a hallucination that I haven't seen yet, let's go, let's go back. ”
Lan Ruo looked back at the darkness behind Zhu Muzha again, even his right eye, he couldn't see clearly what was in the darkness.
Lan Ruo put on an eye patch and left the underground tunnel with Lan Ling, and when he walked out of the dark and secluded crypt, it was already gray outside, and the drizzle was still flying.
"By the way, Ling'er, where is the Lan family's Tianyu Hot Spring?" Lan Ruo asked, he hadn't forgotten the advice of the fifth uncle and grandfather, for the selection of those who would enter the WTO in ten days, Lan Ruo had to take care of his body as soon as possible.
"Oh, Tianyu Hot Spring, okay, I'll take you there, I just want to go to the hot spring too." Lan Ling said with a smile.
Lan Ruo held up the umbrella, and the two walked side by side in the deepening night, and the palace of the Wuhua True Palace lit up a palace lamp, winding away from near and far, with a quiet beauty.
Lan Ruo asked, "I thought it was a little strange before...... Why can the Lan family live in such a luxurious palace? Won't the royal families of the Silver Rain Country come to ask for their guilt? ”
Lan Ling glanced at Lan Ruo a little strangely and asked, "Don't you know?" ”
"Uh...... Know what? ”
Lan Ling said slowly: "The founding emperor of the Silver Rain Country was originally an ancestor of the Lan family, and then the ancestor of the Lan family didn't want to be the emperor anymore, so he gave up the throne to a general who looked more pleasing to the eye, and then retired. ”
"Although the Lan family is no longer a royal family, the biggest force and the highest voice behind the Silver Rain Country is still in the Lan family, in fact...... Each generation of the Silver Rain Emperor is designated by the Lan family, so the people of the Blue family have always been called the 'Shadow Imperial Family', which means that hidden in the shadows is the true master of the Silver Rain Country. ”
Lan Ruo looked stunned: "That...... Won't the royal family of the Silver Rain Country be jealous of the Lan family? ”
"How could it be! It's too late for them to be grateful, although the country of silver rain is the land of fish and rice, but the army of soldiers and horses is not strong, if it weren't for the Lan family's support for the country of silver rain, the country of silver rain would have been swallowed by the country of orcs Fenrir who was eyeing it from the side," Lan Ling said seriously, "With the Lan family behind it, the country of silver rain does not need to be afraid of the forces of any party, and even faintly became the head of several scattered countries in the east, besides, the Lan family is not too eager for power, so the royal family of the silver rain country is very dependent on our Lan family." ”
"Oh......" Lan Ruo smiled a little stiffly, a little surprised in his heart: I didn't expect it...... The Lan family is actually so strong......
During the conversation, Lan Ruo could already see a huge building made of black stones in the distance, with many large lanterns hanging outside, and a big "spring" written on it.
Walking into the black stone house, the floor, ceiling and walls of the house are wooden structures, and the wood is painted with varnish to prevent moisture from rotting.
Lan Ruo didn't pay much attention to the light source in the house at first, but when he looked closely, he found that the night pearls on the lamp holder in the room were actually fist-sized night pearls, and they were all of average size, looking extremely neat, exuding a bright white light, illuminating the room brightly.
Lan Ruo smacked his tongue again, the luxury of the Lan family was really unimaginable to him.
There were two entrances in front of Lan Ruo, one black and one white, Lan Ling pointed to the white curtain and said, "Cousin, you enter the white curtain, and I enter the black curtain." ”
Lan Ruo nodded, walked into the white curtain, turned a few corners in a passage, and saw a row of golden layered gilt shelves, on which many white bath towels were neatly stacked, Lan Ruo took off the blue robe on a white background and put it on the shelf, wrapped in a bath towel, thinking that this was much taller than soaking in the hot springs on the snowy mountain.
After walking a few more steps, the hot water mist gradually increased, Lan Ruo walked out of the passage, only to see a crescent-shaped hot spring in front of him, steaming, the water mist was hazy, the bottom of the hot spring was covered with crystal and speckled pebbles, it looked very beautiful, and the surroundings of the hot spring were circled with pitch black and square rocks.
A man with a beard appears to have just finished a hot spring bath and is drying off his body with a bath towel.
Lan Ruo walked past the man, walked to the hot spring, and was about to untie the bath towel and step into the hot spring, when the man suddenly said, "Hey, the hot spring is not like this!" ”
Lan Ruo was stunned for a moment, his body froze, he really didn't know how to soak in the hot spring, he used to jump directly into the snow mountain.
Lan Ruo scratched his head and asked, "What should it be?" ”
The man said, "You should first soak your feet in the hot spring, wait until the temperature of your whole body has risen, then splash your whole body with the hot spring water, and finally immerse your whole body in the hot spring." ”
"Oh...... No one has ever told me how to soak in the hot springs, thank you, uncle. Lan Ruo said sincerely.
"Big ...... Uncle?! I'm only thirty years old, what an uncle! The man said angrily.
Lan Ruo was speechless, and thought: Just look at your mature beard, anyone who sees it will think it's an uncle!
The man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you, why haven't I seen you?" ”
Lan Ruo said: "Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you report your name in the first place?" ”
The man thought it was right, so he said: "My name is Lan Cao, you are a newcomer who doesn't know the rules, no one told you that only the Lan family can enter this Tianyue Spring?" ”
Lan Ruo heard Lan Ling mention that Lan Cao was his eldest cousin, the eldest person in Lan Ruo's generation, and he had entered the seventh-order realm at the age of twenty-seven, so Lan Ruo said respectfully: "Big cousin, I was rude just now, my name is Lan Ruo." ”
The man's eyes changed, and he said abruptly: "Lan Ruo? You are Aunt Zero's son...... How did you end up in the Blue House? ”
Lan Ruo was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: It turns out that not everyone in the Lan family knows that I am in this Wuhua True Palace, maybe the fifth uncle and grandfather deliberately concealed this matter because they didn't want others to disturb me, and wanted me to recuperate with peace of mind......
