Chapter 228: Favors (4)
When Gong Lanke opened his eyes from the coma, what he saw was not the palace he was familiar with, there were no high beds and soft pillows, and there were no palace maids waiting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Rather, there was some dilapidated bed top, dim candlelight, and the musty smell in the air, where was she?
"County Lord, you finally woke up, Xiao Wei is worried about death......" Xiao Wei, who was lying on the side of the bed, saw her open her eyes, so she cried with joy and pounced on her.
It's just that her surprise startled Gong Lanke, and she reached out and pulled away Xiao Wei's head that was pressing on her, "You get up for me first!" Do you want to crush the lord of this county? ā
"Yes, yes, the slave knows that she is wrong...... Xiao Wei quickly got up from her, and then obediently stood aside and waited for the county lord to get up.
Gong Lanke sat up from the bed, only to feel dizzy, she raised her eyes to look at the shabby room, "But where are we?" Tianji Tower...... What about Brother Jade? ā
"The county lord...... We're not in Tianjilou...... It's impossible to see Lord Nangong......" Xiao Wei said with his head down, with a bit of aggrieved crying in his voice.
"Not in the Sky Tower?" Gong Lanke rubbed his drowsy head and glared at Xiao Wei for some reason, "Then where are we?" ā
"This is the inn." Duan Qingcheng pushed the door in at this time, and put the food on the table, "Let's eat something first, and when it's late at night, I will find someone to send you to Tianji Tower." ā
"You are bold, how can you suddenly break in without the permission of the county lord!" As soon as Gong Lanke saw someone coming in, and he was still dressed as a man, he immediately took a few steps back in fright. But the more she looked at the man, she felt very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"You, you...... You are that Duan, Duan Qing! She was stunned, and looked at the man in white who entered the room with a pair of aura eyes, who is this not Duan Qing? But isn't he missing? She thought that the imperial brother had sent him on some mission, but it turned out to be the palace......
"It's really rare, the county lord still recognizes it." Duan Chengcheng just looked away lightly, ignoring her excited reaction.
"But why is the lord of this county at the inn?" She was puzzled, "I remember that I was looking for Tianji Tower, and there were well-wishers who wanted to take me there, and then ......"
"Then you were stunned by the so-called well-wishers, and you were almost sold to the Qinglou, but my friend happened to be passing by, so he rescued you." Duan Chengcheng saw that she couldn't remember, so he then added.
"Qinglou ......" After listening to Duan Qingcheng's words, Gong Lanke tilted his head and looked wooden, "What kind of building is Qinglou?" ā
"......" This time it was Duan Qingcheng's turn to be surprised, she was speechless for a while, how should she explain to this county lord who does not eat fireworks in the world what place Qinglou is? Forget it, she shook her head, and didn't bother to explain so much.
"Let's eat something first, and I'll have someone take you to Tianji Tower later." She raised her eyes to look at her, and said with a slight face: "But there is one condition, after seeing Nangong Yu, you are not allowed to mention that you have seen me......"
"Why can't you mention it?" Gong Lanke stared at him with a harmless little face, she couldn't understand it even more, he saved herself, and she wanted to tell Brother Yu to thank him well.
"There aren't so many whys." She said impatiently: "If you don't agree, I won't send you to Tianji Tower." ā
"Okay then, the county lord just promises." As soon as she heard that she would not be sent to Tianji Tower, Gong Lanke didn't ask anything, and agreed to the other party's request.
Duan Qingcheng bowed silently, she turned around and said, "You guys rest first, I'll go and let people prepare the carriage and horses." ā
"Duan Qing!" Seeing that he was leaving, Gong Lanke hurriedly stopped the person again, "That...... When will you be able to go back to the palace? ā
"Back to the palace?" Duan Qingcheng was slightly stunned, looked back at Gong Lanke with an expectant face, and said, "I'm not a person in the palace, so naturally I won't go back." ā
"But why?" As soon as he heard him say that he would not go back, Gong Lanke became anxious, "Is it that the imperial brother treats you badly?" Or are you doing something wrong? I can go back and intercede for you and the royal brother......"
"Thank you for thinking so much about the county, I can't thank you enough." She immediately interrupted Gong Lanke's words, "It is a last resort to enter the palace before I go down, but I am a person in the rivers and lakes, and the emperor has not sent troops to hunt me down, so the county lord no longer has to worry about a passerby." ā
After she finished speaking, she turned around indifferently and walked into the room, leaving only Gong Lanke and her personal palace maid Xiao Wei with a flustered face.
When Duan Chengcheng came from Gong Lanke's house, Jiang Xiaolou was already waiting outside the door, leaning against the wall, looking at her with a look of understanding.
"I know that you will definitely send them to Tianji Tower, I am already ready for carriages and horses, and I will personally send them away later." He said.
She nodded silently, "There is no other way but to let you run now." ā
She didn't expect Jiang Xiaolou to save them by coincidence, Lord Lanke was innocent by nature, if she didn't care about her, she didn't know what danger she would encounter, even if it had nothing to do with her, she couldn't ignore it.
"Who brought it back from me, and I have to take some responsibility, don't I?" Jiang Xiaolou sighed, patted her shoulder helplessly, and instructed: "You stay in the inn, don't show up, I'll come back after I send people." ā
"Be careful on the road." Duan Qingcheng glanced at him, then turned around and returned to his room.
When Jiang Xiaolou saw her enter the house, he smiled even more helplessly. She has always been hands-on in everything before, and she is afraid of bothering others. The reason why he asked him to help this time was just that he didn't want to go to Tianji Tower to meet that Brother Shen again. He roughly listened to Qiu Chan's entanglement between these two people, and everything that happened on Mount Meru was enough to make the two people go their separate ways.
But who let that Brother Shen have to use Wuhuan to blackmail Allure? Although they are all involuntarily, the person who seems to be strong in Allure seems to be strong, but he is most afraid of being betrayed by someone he trusts, not to mention the person who Allure likes so much this time......
One is a stepfather who has been trusted for more than ten years, and the other is a sweetheart who fell in love with him for some reason.
He shook his head while thinking, looked at the sky, and went up and knocked on the door of the Lanke County Lord, "Two little aunts and grandmothers, let's pack up, let's go on our way......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he could only hear a loud noise in the house, "Presumptuous, no, without the orders of the county lord, none of you are allowed to come in!" ā
"Uh......" Jiang Xiaolou was stunned outside the door for a long time, a feeling of trouble arose, worthy of being the county lord of the golden branches and jade leaves, he was most afraid of taking care of this kind of troublesome little girl, or a smart, sensible and beautiful woman was the most worry-free.
That is, he always works so hard every day, he can't rest in the middle of the night, and he has to be responsible for sending such a troublesome little girl to what Tianji Tower?
It's not easy for a person to live, who can be kind enough to comfort him...... (To be continued.) )
