Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sister and Brother
Li Yanning was seriously injured and dying when she escaped from Zhongzhou, although she had been raised for more than half a year, she still didn't get completely well, and she was going to be extra low-key before, but now she came to Xue Yuan's territory, Li Yanran and her didn't see her, and suddenly took off all her precautions and caution, and Xue Yu made the two sisters count them as part of the Ming Province Valley, and took the two carved water ripples thrown by Xiao Luo on the seal "Ming Province" After the jade talisman of the two characters, she hurriedly helped her sister Li Yanning out like a fragile porcelain, planning to pull someone from the valley to arrange a place for their sisters.
When Li Yanning was helped away by Li Yanran, she walked to the door and specially looked back at Lu Yan, who was still sitting in place and did not get up with them, and after seeing Lu Yan smile and nod to her, she put her mind at ease and let Li Yanran carry herself away.
Li Yanran, who was all focused on Li Yanning, didn't notice it, but Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, who were watching from the sidelines in the conference hall, saw this bit of the lawsuit clearly.
When the Li sisters walked away, Xiao Luo leaned back on the back of the chair and raised her eyebrows at Lu Yan: "Brother Lu, why did you make other people's sisters look down on them so much?"
Lu Yan gave Xiao Luo, who had already seen the clue but was about to ask like this, with a flat smile.
Xue Yun also saw a little sign of it, but ......
Compared with Xiao Luo, who naturally made fun of Lu Yan, Xue Yuan's mood was a little complicated.
She felt that she might understand a little bit why Yanran didn't want to see Lu Yan.
Although Lu Yan is a good person...... But right......
Although Xiao Luo was not serious for a while, he was still thinking about the business at this time, so he pulled the topic back again:
"It looks like Li Yanning has something to say to us. ”
"Yan Ning doesn't want to miss her sister's concern, I also know what she thinks, I just stay with you. ”
Xiao Luo heard Lu Yan naturally call him "Yan Ning", raised his eyebrows again, and looked at Lu Yan, who was still sitting there and did not move, and sighed very much in his heart.
Xue Yun also heard the different names of Lu Yan and Xiao Luo, choked up, calmed down and still wanted to ask the business first:
"That'...... What does Yan Ning want to do with us?"
"You have friends in Qiaozhou, right? Yan Ning and I started up more than half a year ago before she went to Chenzhou, and you have two friends who went north to return to Qiaozhou, so when there seemed to be an unknown movement in Yuanzhou, Yan Ning also paid attention to some news from Qiaozhou. ”
Friends in Qiaozhou, that is, Su Run and Zhou Yan, who have not been in touch for a long time.
Xiao Luo and Xue Yun glanced at each other, and their hearts were groaning.
If there was no news to be found, or no news that might be related to the two of them, Li Yanning would not have specifically signaled Lu Yan to stay with them. But again, they didn't mention it at the beginning or give it to them personally, obviously these news have not been confirmed, just like Xiao Luo's speculation about Tian Bubitter, just a little bit of a coincidence.
Lu Yan didn't delay much: "Over there in Qiaozhou, the Liuguangcao Mountain Range at the border was previously guarded by the Feng family, the Tang family and the Xuanqing Gate, and nothing was found after a long time, and the people had withdrawn some time ago and left separately, but it seems that the territory of Qiaozhou is not very calm, and some trouble has come out." A family in the middle of Qiaozhou moved his family, and went to Zhongzhou with the people who withdrew from Qiaozhou with the Feng family, and threw himself under the Feng family. Occupy...... It is to ward off trouble and seek refuge. ”
Xue Yun sank his face: "...... All the state capitals where top forces are stationed in Kyushu have a customary rule, and if there is a sect family in the state capital where it needs to adjudicate, most of them are handed over to the top forces established by the state. ”
Xiao Luo narrowed his eyes: "Qiaozhou is the territory of the Demon Palace, and that family did not ask for the Demon Palace, but followed the Feng family...... This is even more ...... after the Feng family stepped on the face of the Demon Temple because of the Streamer Grass Mountain Range The act of throwing mud in the face of the Demon Temple. ”
"This family...... How can you make such a ...... Don't be ashamed. followed the Feng family at such a time, and ...... on the bright side Isn't there any law?"
Lu Yan nodded: "A little, the shadow is sufficient, and it is not clear. ”
Xiao Luo's eyes flashed: "It won't be ...... The trouble they want to avoid is related to the Demon Temple, right?"
Lu Yan smiled slightly: "Brother Xiao is wise, there is a faint speculation that some people are deliberately stumbling in the Demon Palace, and some people are disciples under the Demon Palace who are indiscriminately fascinated by the beauty of their enemies. Oh, and there are some dharmas, yes...... The family that went to Zhongzhou to join the Feng family was not the first to be cleaned up, and there was already a family that had been wiped out before them, which made them frightened like frightened birds, and hurriedly climbed up to the Feng family who was willing to make decisions for them without caring about anything, and left Qiaozhou quickly. ”
"Huh. Xue Yun sneered: "Let's not speculate on the other ones, just the Feng family...... Why didn't I know that the Feng family was so reasonable and kind-minded, and was willing to stand up for the nobody?"
"Maybe it's to fight against the Demon Palace?" Lu Yan guessed without much care: "The relationship between the four great families and the three major sects has never been so harmonious. But this ...... Xuanqingmen this time, it was really surprising. ”
Xue Yun lowered his eyes: "...... The Xuanqing Gate was mixed into the Feng family's Tang family, and the Demon Hall seemed to be being targeted by the Feng family, and the situation was not very good, but it was a Yin Sect...... You can't see the tendency to stay out of the way. ”
"Brother Lu. Xiao Luo opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know which one is the one who went to Zhongzhou to defect to the Feng family?"
Lu Yan shook his head: "There is no definite news about this, there are surnames or anything, there is no way to verify." ”
"Yan Ning thinks it has something to do with those two of our friends?"
"It's just a coincidence in terms of timing. Lu Yan smiled slightly: "Chenzhou is not as good as other places, although it is also adjacent to Qiaozhou, but the news is really a bit blocked, and it has been collected by Yan Ning by trying her best to avoid people." ”
Coming and going, too, is just speculation.
But......
Xue Yun frowned, and there was always a kind of good fortune in his heart
She felt that Li Yanning's worries might not be wrong.
Su Run and Zhou Yan have not had any news since they parted from Yuanzhou Town.
......
Before Lu Yan left the chamber, like Li Yanran, he asked for a place in Ming Shenggu.
Although Xiao Luo joked that Lu Yan was "impure-minded", he also understood that Lu Yan was tempted to join not, or not just Li Yanning's relationship.
In fact, Xiao Luo had already guessed that after learning about the original intention of the establishment of the Ming Province Valley and the future path of the Ming Province Valley, Lu Yan would definitely be a member of the Ming Province Valley, so that he and Xue Yuan had met the hearty young man in Chenzhou.
When Lu Yan came out of the meeting hall, Li Yanran had already left with Li Yanning for a long time, and at this time, I was afraid that it had been properly settled and ready to rest, Lu Yan thought about it, reached out and touched the jade talisman of the newly hung water-patterned seal "Ming Province" on his waist, and planned to find someone to help arrange a place to stay.
Other than that......
Xue Yu had just passed, and the only descendant of the Shangguan family they finally found, Shangguan Miao, also joined the Ming Provincial Valley more than two months ago.
As he was walking and pondering about this matter, Lu Yan heard the voice of the girl behind him with some hesitation.
“...... Land...... Brother Lu?"
Lu Yan was stunned, turned his head, and saw the girl looking at him with slightly red eyes.
The last time I saw her, she was not as tall as her own legs, she was soft, and she would blink a pair of big eyes and beg for candy softly......
But now, the girl straightened her back, and her face no longer had the shy and ignorant smile she had back then, and she was clearly born with a really cute and painful appearance, but she just stiffened her face tightly. At this time, the girl was holding a bamboo flute tightly in her hand, and her fingers were so hard that they were a little white.
Lu Yan ignored another immature teenager who was about the same height as the girl standing next to the girl, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and stretched out his hand to the girl:
"Slim. ”
“...... Brother Lu!" Shangguan Miao rushed over in a few steps, stood still in front of Lu Yan, and looked up at this friend who had been very good to her for many years, and her brother Shangguan Qing, who had not been seen for many years, and the sourness in her nose could not be suppressed.
I don't know if it's a grievance or a sadness.
In the past few years, she has met many people, but she has not had the carefree and happy life when Shangguan Qing was still there. At that time, even though the two of them needed to hide incognito, even if the elder brother Shangguan Qing knew that his parents' family feud was almost not thinking about revenge for a moment because he was older, he tried his best to shield her from the wind and rain, so that she could grow up as happy and carefree as possible.
It was Shangguan Miao, who had long since forgotten his parents, the happiest day.
During that time, his brother Shangguan Qing met Lu Yan, and the two became so good that they could even tell each other their real names and pass on the secret to each other. In those days that Shangguan Miao missed the most, Brother Lu, like her brother, held her in the palm of his hand and pampered her pain, and never let her be wronged. Even sometimes when her brother made a mistake and wanted to punish her with a straight face, it was most likely that Brother Lu helped her intercede......
My brother is gone, and now that I suddenly see Lu Yan again, Shangguan Miao has a ...... Finally met the feeling of kissing again.
Lu Yan was quite emotional and distressed, stretched out his hand to stroke the top of Shangguan Miao's hair, and whispered softly, just like back then: "Miaomiao has grown taller!"
Shangguan Miao sniffed, forcibly held back the tears that were about to rush out of his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth and slowly raised a smile: "Brother Lu, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Seeing Shangguan Miao like this, Lu Yan felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Back then, the girl who was held in the palm of his hand by him and his friend Shangguan Qing would cry and chirp when her fingers broke a little skin, and tears fell out of her eyes like beads. At that time, Shangguan Qing also said with a smile that he had to find more water system techniques for Miao Miao to practice in order to suit her water-like appearance.
But now, the tears have reached the eyes, and the girl who was once pampered by them is still gritting her teeth and holding back, which makes him very sad.
Lu Yan touched the top of Shangguan Miao's head with one hand, and took out an oiled paper bag with the other hand.
Shangguan Miao looked at the oiled paper bag and widened his eyes slightly.
Lu Yan opened the oiled paper bag with his own hands, revealing the bread inside.
One by one, the clear yellow and crystal candy, the translucent candy also has a little bit of fine yellow petals in it, and there is a sweet taste.
"Come on. Lu Yan took Shangguan Miao's hand and put the osmanthus candy wrapped in oil paper into her palm: "Osmanthus candy." ”
Shangguan looked at the osmanthus candy in his hand in a daze, raised his hand holding the bamboo flute, pinched one from the oiled paper bag with two fingers, and put it in his mouth.
The moment the familiar taste stained her taste buds, the girl who had been holding on to it finally couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly.
Osmanthus sugar.
That was her favorite snack when she was still a sugar packet in her brother's hand. Every time my brother comes back from going out, he will bring her a few, and after Brother Lu knows about it, he will remember to buy them for her.
At that time, she never lacked osmanthus candy to eat.
Afterward......
Today's Shangguan Miao can't even remember the last time he ate osmanthus candy.
She once thought that no one in this world would remember her preference, and no one would buy candy and laugh to make her happy......
Tears fell from her eyes one by one, and smashed on the oiled paper, and the girl's eyes were red and she trembled with crying.
Lu Yan sighed, stepped forward and hugged the girl in his arms, patting her on the back.
Wen Ning, who came with Shangguan Miao on the side, was a little stunned, and clasped his hands helplessly, not knowing what to do.
This is the first time he has seen Shangguan Miao crying, and it is also the first time he has seen Shangguan Miao, who has always been serious with a straight face, showing his emotions like this.
But the man in front of him ......
He didn't know him.
Lu Yan patted Shangguan Miao's back lightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the strange young man who was anxiously biting his finger on the side, and narrowed his eyes.
When Shangguan Miao finished sobbing and crying, when he came back to his senses, he wished that there was a hole in the ground. Turning his head around, he glanced around and didn't see a few figures, his heart relaxed slightly, and after withdrawing from Lu Yan's arms, he rewrapped the oiled paper bag that she was still holding firmly in the palm of her hand even when she cried and sobbed, and put it in her arms.
Shangguan Miao put away the osmanthus candy, then looked at Lu Yan, stopped on the jade talisman on his waist for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and he looked up with obvious surprise: "Brother Lu, are you also from Ming Province Valley?"
Lu Yan withdrew his gaze from Wen Ning, lowered his head and looked at Shangguan Miao gently: "Yes, in the future, Brother Lu will also stay in the valley." If you have anything, you can come to Brother Lu, you know?"
Shangguan Miao sniffed, smiled and nodded, and then suddenly remembered something, turned around to look at Wen Ning, who had been forgotten by himself for a while, and introduced to Lu Yan: "Brother Lu, this is Wen Ning, and he is also from Ming Shenggu, and he has taken care of me these days. Wen Ning also helped the two Gu supervisors with some chores, Brother Lu hasn't picked a place to live yet, right? Why don't I ...... with Wen Ning?"
Lu Yan followed Shangguan Miao's introduction and looked at Wen Ning, who bowed to him, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "...... All right. ”
