When the sky was about to dawn, the entire Lan Mansion was still sleeping quietly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The door in the southeast corner of info opened softly with a "creak", and two figures swept out of the door very quickly, one after the other, silently shuttling through the darkest night before dawn.

After walking a few steps, I passed in front of an alley opposite the corner gate, where stood a figure, silent, black-haired and dark-robed, almost blending into the darkness.

"A-" A deep voice called softly, and the slightly slender figure walking in front of him paused, and then turned around and walked towards this place without hesitation.

"Senior brother?" When he got closer, the slender figure called out with some hesitation, and his voice was deliberately lowered, but he could still hear a trace of softness and crunching, which one is not Lanxi? And the one who was called by Lanxi as a senior brother was naturally Geng Xiwu. When she got closer, although it was dark all around, Lan Xi's eyes were good, and when Geng Xiwu's well-defined face came into view, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't you say that you went to the city to meet again?" ”

"Hmm. They went out of the city first, and I'll pick you up. Geng Xiwu replied in a low voice, and there were no emotional ups and downs in his tone.

"Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, my father sent someone to send me over." Lan Xi glanced meaningfully at the shadow-like existence behind him.

Geng Xiwu handed his gaze back, not surprised at all. In the Daqing Dynasty, which dignitaries did not raise some shady knives? What's more, it's a real Zhong Ming Ding Food House like Qingyang Lan's?

The man kept hanging his head, and when Geng Xiwu's eyes looked over, he raised his eyes slightly, but only glanced at it, lowered his neck again, and said, "The master has explained, if Geng Siye comes to pick it up in person, his subordinates don't have to send it again." ”

Lan Xi raised her eyebrows, when did his father become so expected? Or did my brother say yesterday that he would come to pick her up? Lan Xi was full of suspicion, and quietly raised his head and glanced at Geng Xiwu, but it was very dark all around, and Lan Xi could only vaguely see the chin of the senior brother, which was very good-looking, slightly raised, and the resolute arc.

Geng Xiwu responded, "In this case, please come back to Uncle Lan Shi and ask him to rest assured." ”

The man leaned over, then retreated quietly into the night.

Only then did Lan Xi raise his head and ask, "Senior brother, you didn't come on horseback?" Geng Xiwu looked down at her, the light was very dim, and she couldn't see the color, but she could vaguely see that she was wearing a short brown in the style of a man, and her hair was tied up on the top of her head, and she couldn't help but have a smile in her eyes, and she was in a trance recalling the first time they traveled together a few years ago.

Lan Xi saw that Geng Xiwu was silent for a long time, and couldn't help frowning and calling, "Senior brother? ”

Geng Xiwu came back to his senses, pointed back, and said, "Ma, isn't it there?" ”

Lan Xi hurriedly stood on tiptoe and looked behind him, only to see that in the dark shadow of the alley behind him, there were two horses swinging their tails leisurely, their heads touching their heads, and gently turning and stomping the horses' hooves. One of them was black, tall and fat, with bright eyes, looking at Lan Xi and looking over, he snorted very arrogantly, and then turned his head, as if he was disdainful.

Lan Xi was secretly wondering, his eyes were attracted by the chestnut mare on the side, his eyes lit up, and he rushed forward past Geng Xiwu, "Senior brother, this horse is for me, right?" ”

Saying that, Lan Xi couldn't wait to stretch out his hand, the mare was fine, staying in place tamely, not moving, but the black horse snorted suddenly, turned his head to look over, the horse's hooves stomped, and he was about to kick it this way, Lan Xi's face turned pale, and he just wanted to hold his head to dodge, when the wind moved, a black shadow swept by, Geng Xiwu had swept forward, pulling the reins with one hand, and scratching the horse's ears with the other, which made the horse quiet in an instant.

Turning his head to see that Lan Xi was still palpitating with a white face, he couldn't help but pull his lips, and said in a soft voice, "Chasing the wind is a wild horse that I accidentally bumped into outside the plug three years ago, and it has a very strong temperament, although it is tamed by me, but it is not so good for other people, it is not familiar with you, and it should be better slowly." ”

Lan Xi was surprised and curious, "Senior brother, you still know how to train horses?" "And this horse is violent at first glance, and it is not easy to tame it, right?

Geng Xiwu just said indifferently, "I learned from a brother in the army, and the military camp is also a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden." Chasing the wind is the first horse in the wild horse herd, so it is common to have a violent temperament. But now it's better, and in the future, if you become the master of the clouds, it will have to give you some face, and it won't be as rude as it is today. ”

"Chasing the clouds?" Lan Xi first raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and then suddenly pointed to the mare next to him.

The corners of Geng Xiwu's mouth were half-pulled, "Yes! Zhuyun is the daughter-in-law who chases the wind, and he was afraid that he thought you would bully Zhuyun just now! Chayun's temperament is much more tame, and you should have no problem riding. ”

Lan Xi was still shocked that this horse was the daughter-in-law of that horse, and he had already turned his attention away, "How did Senior Brother know that I could ride a horse?" After asking, Lan Xi felt that he had asked more, and then looked at the half-hooked arc of the corner of Geng Xiwu's mouth, he felt that he was stupid, his mouth pursed, and he snorted between his noses, "There are really a lot of ears around me." Over the years, although the senior brother is not here, there is really nothing to hide from you? While complaining, Lan Xi secretly staggered her teeth, and she didn't know if it was the master or the sixth brother who told her the secret this time, so she didn't have a chance to frighten the senior brother once.

Geng Xiwu saw Lan Xi's pouting little daughter's coquettish appearance, his eyes darkened slightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled up and said, "Let's go!" Cui: They are still waiting outside the city. After the words fell, he squatted down and stretched out his hand to Lan Xi.

Lan Xi was not polite to him, stepped on his hand, jumped lightly with strength, stepped on the horse's back, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head chasing the clouds, Geng Xiwu then stepped on the back of the horse chasing the wind, the sound of the horse's hooves was soft, and the two rode out of the alley one after the other.

"By the way, senior brother, I always heard you mention that Lao Cui came from the capital with you, right? Why haven't you seen it all these days? While driving the horse forward, Lan Xi turned his head and asked.

Geng Xiwu had been watching Lanxi carefully at first, but later saw that she was riding well, and she was a little rusty at first, but later she became more and more proficient, and she also cooperated well with Zhuyun, so she was relieved. Listening to Lanxi's question, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Lao Cui is what I met in the army, he is an old oily man in the Northwest Army, he knows a lot, and his skills are good, but he is lazy and doesn't like to fight for merit, so he is only a military commander until now." Once, when I saved his life, he told me privately that he wanted to come to my account, and I also fell in love with him, so I went and asked him to come, and he followed me ever since. These days, he is wandering around, so he doesn't live in Sanliu Lane. ”

Lan Xi listened and nodded, it turned out that he had saved people's lives, no wonder, the senior brother brought a bunch of people surnamed Geng, but this one was the only one, surnamed Cui. That must also be something that can be trusted with all your heart and entrusted with life and death. (To be continued.) )
