The peach blossoms are fluttering, and the man in purple stands under the peach blossom tree with a fan in his hand, looking up at the night sky.

The long waterfall-like hair, silver and black, fluttered wantonly by the night breeze. A little light purple between the man's eyebrows, like cherry blossom petals, sets off the man's bewitching face, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him with the word charming.

The night sky of Yueqiu is starry and vast, and the star in the north is getting brighter and brighter, making the surrounding stars dim.

The man's name is Qing Fan, Yueqiu's former first strategist, a civil and military all-rounder, and his usual weapon is the fan in his hand.

Qing Fan stared at the star in the north, sighed, and said to the person behind him: "The deadline is still up. ”

The face of the man behind him was hidden in the night, so that it was impossible to see, and he continued: "What should come will come, twenty-three years ago, didn't you already know that there would be today?" ”

Qing Fan lowered her head, looked at the fan in her hand attentively, and seemed to mutter: "Back then, she exchanged her life for life, saved my life, gave me this peach blossom fan, and asked me to help her return this fan to its original owner in the future." She said she owed the man a word of sorry. ”

"You have lived in seclusion for ten years for this promise."

"At the beginning, she waited for that person for thirty years, and when I saw her, she had expected that her limit was approaching, so she gave up her life to save me.

"Naranmu... You have protected her for me for five years. ”

Qing Fan turned his head to look sideways at the man in the night, a few silver threads swept across his face, extremely lazy, and chuckled: "Now that I have a disciple, I don't plan to accept an apprentice, I just want to fulfill her last wish, and after the thing is returned to its original owner, everything in Nalan Mu will no longer have anything to do with me." ”

"You know she's here to apprentice."

"So what? There are so many people who want to come to my door. ”

"You really don't want to accept her?"

"Second son, even if your father comes here, I won't accept any more apprentices."

The man in the night said confidently: "Old man with a green fan, how about you and I make a bet?" ”

"In the entire Yueqiu, you are the only one who dares to call my old man. How to gamble? ”

"I bet you'll take Lan Mu as a disciple and ten bottles of good old wine."

Hearing that there was wine, Qing Fan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Ten bottles of old good wine are so handy." ”

"So this bet, do you fight or not?"

"Hit, why don't you fight for nothing? If I lose, I'll promise you to protect her for five years! ”

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

The man laughed, and the laughter was full of the smell of the conspiracy succeeding.

Qing Fan suddenly became alert, as if he had been on a thief ship, but his face still maintained his usual laziness, and said, "Second son, what are you calculating about me?" ”

Qing Fan is now forty and three, but there is no trace of time on his face, and people who don't know him think he is a young son. When the green fan did not return to the mountains and forests, because of his talent and appearance, I don't know how many girls he charmed, and the people who wanted to marry him openly and secretly couldn't count on ten fingers. However, he is still single and seems to have no possibility of marrying a wife.

The man turned to leave, and said absently as he walked: "She and she are originally the same root." ”

Qing Fan's hand shook with the fan, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Master told me this conversation many years later.

At this time, I was sitting in the carriage to Yueqiu, and I wanted to ride forward, but Shi Mo said that I was the newly canonized county lord, and it was a bit swaggering to ride out of the national capital.

This time, in addition to me and Shi Mo, there are also An Lu and Shi Mo's little ones.

Ion was driving outside, and I sat in the car with Shi Mo and An Lu.

Before leaving Yueqiu, I specially freshened myself, curled my hair by the way, and dressed up as a man, which made the smell of blood on my body much lighter, and also allowed An Lu to endure being in the same space as me. An Lu is indeed the rumored miracle doctor of Yueqiu, but after getting along with me, I deeply feel that most of the rumors are false, which is really not credible. Thinking of An Lu, he fainted blood, and even the smell of blood made him hold his brows, so when he first saw me a few days ago, he kept a distance of two meters from me.

I have always thought that the so-called miracle doctor should be full of deep love for the world in the heart of helping the world and saving people. But An Lu is definitely not, he may be cheerful, he may be good at enlivening the atmosphere, or he may be skilled in medicine, but he must be a cold-blooded and ruthless person in his bones, flaws will be reported, and those who provoke him will not end well at all. For example, on that occasion, when we were taking a break on the side of the road, several bandits rushed out and drew their knives at us, demanding that we hand over valuable things. An Lu was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't react when he heard them speak, Xu saw that he was weak, and he didn't take the bandits seriously, and the bandit leader took the lead in targeting him. In the end, not surprisingly, the bandits fell under his poisonous needle, oh, An Lu made a good silver needle, and when dealing with annoying people, he would quench some poison on the silver needle.

However, in the past few days from the national capital to Zhongye Town, it is thanks to An Lu's humor that my mood is not so depressed.

If it were just me and Shi Mo, with his cold nature, I think I might continue to be caught up in the resentment of the Northern Underworld Monarch.

Soon, we arrived at Midleaf Town, which was the place where Biqiao died tragically, the place where I first saw Liu Ye, and the place where Nalan He and I were forced to disperse. I don't know, is Naranhe still in Midleaf Town, is he looking for me?

Mid-leaf Town is as bustling as last time I saw it, and it's still the same street, crowded with people one after another. Seeing the crowd in front of him, Shi Mo frowned and said, "I won't live tonight, find a place to buy a few horses and go on the road." ”

An Lu loves to disagree with Shi Mo, and likes to do things that make others jump, he said: "Brother Mo, after this mid-leaf town, I will have to eat and sleep in the open for the next ten days, it doesn't matter if we are two big men, where can a girl's family in Nalan Mu stand it." ”

I was stunned, why did it come to me inexplicably, the person with a cleanliness habit is clearly An Lu.

At this time, Shi Mo snorted coldly, and actually got out of the carriage and walked towards the crowd, and when he saw it, he followed without saying a word.

An Lu smiled and said to me: "Nalan Mu, don't you look at Shi Mo's expression like swallowing?" ”

I glanced at An Lu out of the corner of my eye, didn't say a word, got up and got out of the carriage.

An Lu was angry and said in pieces: "Why do you ignore me, am I not handsome?" Didn't I just say you love cleanliness...... Although I know that you don't love cleanliness so much, otherwise how would you be so sloppy when I first saw you, but I also praise you. But it's not me saying you, you are a girl's family, you still have to keep it clean, and you are infected with the bad habit of not liking cleanliness at a young age, how will you marry in the future...... Hey, don't go so fast, wait for me. ”

Seeing the curious eyes of the crowd, I just wanted to find a hole to drill into, like An Lu, the posture of a shrew scolding the street and scolding the streets, it was really in vain for his delicate appearance.

Xu Shi also felt the gaze of the crowd, and An Lu instantly collected his emotions and disguised himself as a handsome son.

Shi Mo said, tonight we are staying in Yunge, the most prosperous and expensive inn in Zhongye Town.

When passing by the Mid-Century Inn, I went in to find the shopkeeper and asked him if he remembered me and Nalan He. So I knew that after I left in the middle of the century, Nalan He led Ziyan to wait for me at the inn, and he didn't see me return for a few days, and left a note for the store when he left.

This word is Nalan He's, that's right.

Nalan He, Nalan He, your heart is too wide, why don't you go back to China to find me, if you go back to the capital... Will the General's Mansion still be like this now?

I know, it will, Naranhe will go back, but just one more corpse.

Suddenly, I was very glad that he chose to go to Yueqiu instead of returning.

The only thing that is not at ease is the purple face beside him. Hopefully, he can detect Ziyan's ulterior motives.

Out of the middle leaf inn, Shi Mo was waiting for me outside alone, and I didn't see An Lu and Xiao Ion, so I asked, "What about them?" ”

"Go first, Anlu is addicted to alcohol, and Yunge's wine is famous."

I answered, and walked side by side with him towards the Cloud Pavilion.

Suddenly, he asked me, "You just went in to find Nalan He?" ”

I was surprised and blurted out, "How do you know? ”

He was still expressionless, but said softly: "I heard your description of Nalan He, and thought it should be him." ”

I think about it, too, Shi Mo already knew that I was the Lanmu of the day, and naturally he also knew that the Lanhe of the day was Nalanhe.

Seeing that I nodded, Shi Mo didn't ask deeply, and changed his words, "Tomorrow, remember to bring two pots of good wine from Yun Pavilion, it's been a long time since the green fan was hungry for the plum wine of the Northern Underworld." ”

I wondered, "Isn't there any plum wine in Yueqiu?" ”

"Yes, but the taste of the sake is different from place to place."

I groaned to say I understood, and then I didn't say anything.

When he arrived at the Cloud Pavilion, An Lu was already a little drunk, and when he saw me and Shi Mo both coming, he burped and said, "Why is it so slow, it's so boring to drink alone," and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the ion standing on the side, and continued, "This ion, he refused to drink with me, saying that he wanted to wait for Brother Mo, ion You said, do you have a habit of breaking sleeves, otherwise how can you stick to your master so much." ”

This An Lu really seized the opportunity and didn't let it go. I saw that Shi Mo's face was becoming more and more gloomy, and there was a tendency to come with wind and rain.

Hearing An Lu's accusation, Ion cried with a sad face and said, "Gongzi An, just let me go, it's not that you don't know that slaves are not good at drinking, if the slaves are drunk, who will pour you wine." ”

An Lu stopped and said, "I don't want you anymore, Brother Mo, let's have a few drinks together." ”

Shi Mo turned his head and left, never stopping.

After Shi Mo left, An Lu looked at me, I hurriedly shook my hand and made a gesture to leave, but I heard him say: "Hmph, little girl's house, I don't see that you can't drink, let's go, let's go, let you suppress it to death, isn't it just that little bit of bad things in life." ”

Then that night, An Lu and I both fell drunk on the wine table.
