"Palace girl, you... You okay? Looking at the stubborn beautiful woman in front of him, Lu Yunfeng asked with some hesitation. A woman who was abandoned by her brother in the hands of a horse thief can imagine what will happen to her. has reached such a point that this stupid girl still blindly believes in her brother, and does not have the slightest resentment. Originally, Lu Yunfeng still thought that this girl was beautiful, and she was indeed a little arrogant. But now it looks even more pitiful.

Nangong Mo shook his head silently, but Lu Yunfeng obviously didn't believe her. sighed and said, "Don't worry, girl, now that the girl is alone, it is better to follow us." Wait until this trip back to the Central Plains, and send you back to Lingzhou. Nangong Mo hesitated for a long time, then lowered his eyes, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, son." ”

"You're welcome, girl." Lu Yunfeng said softly.

Lu Qilin watched the two of them finish speaking, and also walked over and said with a smile: "The previous matter, it was Xiang'er who was reckless, and I hope the palace girl will forgive me." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and didn't speak. Seeing her so silent, Lu Qilin didn't feel anything wrong. It would be a strange thing if you could still be arrogant and willful as usual after this kind of thing.

So Nangong Mo continued to stay in the inn with the people of the Lu family. Maybe it was because of the weakness of the previous things, Lu Xiangxiang didn't pick her nose and eyes at her anymore. On the contrary, there was a little more pity and a faint schadenfreude in her eyes. A woman who has been alone in a bandit's den for several days, regardless of whether something really happened or not, can already be said to have no innocence at all. Lu Xiangxiang felt that he was qualified to pity Gong Molan. What about being beautiful? Isn't it a broken flower now? Before, the eldest brother had a good impression of Gong Molan but was rejected, but now I am afraid that even if Gong Molan changes her mind, her father will only allow her to be a concubine at most.

In the afternoon, Lu Qilin and Lu Yunfeng went out to run errands. Lu Xiangxiang and Nangong Mo were still staying in the inn. When he had nothing to do, Lu Xiangxiang couldn't help but run over to talk to Nangong Mo. Seeing Nangong Mo sitting alone in the room in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking, Lu Xiangxiang was a little unhappy that he had been overlooked.

"Miss Gong, what are you thinking?"

Nangong Mo seemed to have just come back to his senses, and said with a faint smile: "It's nothing." ”

Lu Xiangxiang rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xiangxiang with a kind look, feeling a little funny in his heart. This Miss Lu didn't seem to feel the slightest guilt in the face of a woman who was almost killed by her for the rest of her life. Is it too simple to think that no one will hate her if this kind of thing happens, or is it too natural to feel that what she did is not wrong at all?

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "I don't want to go, Miss Lu, you can go by yourself." ”

Lu Xiangxiang's face changed slightly, and he looked at Nangong Mo and said, "Palace girl, you... Are you still angry? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Angry? What am I angry about? ”

Lu Xiangxiang looked at her and said, "Aren't you angry because we left you that day?" But we can't help it, if we fight those horse thieves, all of us may die. You're okay now, and we saved you back, why are you so stingy? ”

Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile and tilted his head to look at Lu Xiangxiang, "Then how can I not be stingy?" Miss Lu, I'm in a bad mood right now, can't I stay in my room by myself? Do you want to accompany you to go shopping in order to show your generosity? Lu Xiangxiang's face was a little embarrassed, although no one said anything in the past few days, she also knew that everyone looked down on her for her behavior of pushing Gong Molan out. But what can she do? Is she going to marry those rude horse thieves herself? Hearing Nangong Mo's words, she immediately felt the meaning of Nangong Mo's words, and suddenly became even more aggrieved.

Looking at her ugly expression, Nangong Mo sighed lightly and said, "Miss Lu, please go out." I'm going to rest. ”

Lu Xiangxiang snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "It's just a broken flower and a willow, what do you have to be proud of?" If you are a little more sensible, maybe my father will agree to let you enter our Lu family as a concubine, if you don't know each other......"

"Xiangxiang!" Outside the door, Lu Yunfeng strode in from the outside, and before he entered the door, he heard Lu Xiangxiang speak loudly, and immediately shouted.

Lu Xiangxiang's expression froze, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Yunfeng coming in with a calm face, and suddenly burst out, "What are you doing, big brother!" You want to teach me a lesson, don't you? I'm your sister, what is this woman, you've been cold to me for her these days? ”

Lu Yunfeng took a breath and said, "The previous thing was that you were wrong, if you don't apologize to the palace girl, forget it, and now you are still talking about these ......"

"What's wrong with what I'm saying?" Lu Xiangxiang shouted, and a guide Gong Mo said: "She has been arrested in the bandit village for several days, isn't it a broken flower or a willow?" Who is willing to marry this kind of woman? ”

"Shut up!" Lu Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said.

Lu Xiangxiang bit the corner of his lip, glared at Nangong Mo fiercely, stomped his feet, turned around and ran out.

The room was a little quiet for a while, and Lu Yunfeng said with some embarrassment: "Palace girl, Xiangxiang is not sensible, I still hope you... Excuse me. ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said lightly: "It's okay, outside the gate is not as good as inside the gate, Miss Lu is only afraid that it will be a little dangerous to go out alone, so Master Lu should go out and have a look." ”

Lu Yunfeng nodded gratefully, turned around and wanted to go out. After another pause, he said in a deep voice: "As long as the palace girl is willing, I am willing to marry the girl and welcome the girl into the door." Please girl... Think about it. After speaking, without waiting for Nangong Mo to answer, he hurriedly walked out.

Seeing Lu Yunfeng's back disappear outside the door, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Miss Gong is really blooming peach blossoms." An oddly teasing voice sounded outside the door. Wang Ba, who had already changed into a Beiyuan costume and was sticking to the beard, quickly flashed in and said with a smile.

Nangong Mo was not surprised, "Why are you here?" Don't die

What are you doing here? Don't want to die? ”

Wang Ba snorted lightly and said, "Lu Qilin went out with someone, and there are few people in the inn who are afraid of anything at this time?" I opened a room in the east corner of the backyard and screamed if something happened. Nangong Mo nodded and said, "You better be careful yourself." After this incident, it is hard to guarantee that Lu Qilin will not deal with you. ”

Lu Qilin has to take this trade route every year. It's not a good thing to get into trouble with an enemy like Wang Ba. But if he really has anything to do with Hudun, naturally he doesn't have to be afraid of Wang Ba. Because Wang Ba may not have a chance to last until this time next year.

Wang Ba frowned, looked at Nangong Mo and said, "I see that you don't have a good heart for the Lu family, it's better to... Let's work together? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

Wang Ba said: "The old rule, after eating the Lu family, let's divide the account in three seven, you three and I seven." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, "I want to be sure of one thing first. Other than that... Four-six accounts, you four, I six. I'm more generous than you. ”

Bullshit! Wang Ba shook his head, "There are only two of you, and your eldest brother may not be here yet." It's not fair that you're taking the lion's share. ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "If you have a lot of people, it may not be useful. Do your men dare to stand up to Hudun? ”

Wang Ba frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Five-five." ”

"Deal." Nangong Mo said with a smile.

Wang Ba was a little curious, "What do you want to be sure of?" ”

Nangong Mo said: "What did he trade with Hudun?" ”

"Isn't it just some tea, silk or something?" Wang Ba said, "The nobles outside the gate like to buy these. ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, "Do you think these things are worth letting Hu Dun, who is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, personally make a deal?" Don't forget, what Lu Qilin said at the beginning, these are the goods of Generalissimo Hudun. Unless he's scaring you under the guise of Hudun, but I doubt he'll have the guts. ”

"And what do you think they're trading?" Wang Ba asked.

Nangong Mo sighed, "That's why I have to check." ”

Wang Ba shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll find out if there's anything else in their cargo that we don't know about." ”

"Be careful yourself." Nangong Modao.

Wang Ba nodded, got up and walked out.

In the evening, Lu Yunfeng came back with Lu Xiangxiang. Although Lu Xiangxiang didn't say anything to Nangong Mo, he could see that he was not in a good mood. Nangong Mo is also happy not to deal with her, for a woman who has ambitions for her husband, I believe that no woman will be willing to have too much relationship with her. Just looked at Lu Yunfeng and asked, "Hasn't Mr. Lu come back yet?" ”

Lu Yunfeng smiled: "Father's affairs can't be helped. So come back later. That's right, Miss Gong. I was going to rest here for a few days before leaving, but... This time, we're probably going to leave tomorrow. ”

"Big brother!" Lu Xiangxiang suddenly interrupted Lu Yunfeng's words, looked at Nangong Mo vigilantly and said, "We won't go far, just let her stay here and wait for us to come back." ”

Lu Yunfeng sighed helplessly: "What nonsense? The palace girl is left here alone, what if the horse thief brings someone back? ”

Lu Xiangxiang snorted lightly and turned his head away.

Late at night, in the inn in the corner of the inn, the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family were sitting in the room talking. Lu Qilin paced back and forth, looking down and thinking. Lu Xiangxiang said impatiently: "Dad, we haven't checked the details of that Gong Molan, so we can't take her with us." If something happens, who of us can afford it? Big brother, don't get dizzy for a woman, okay? ”

Lu Yunfeng said a little angrily: "Are you sure you didn't vent your anger on the palace girl for the sake of that palace Junqing?" ”

Seeing Lu Xiangxiang's somewhat stiff expression, Lu Yunfeng knew that he had guessed correctly. With a little headache, he said: "It's pitiful enough for the palace girl to be thrown to the bandits by her brother, can't you be more tolerant?" ”

Lu Xiangxiang was unconvinced and wanted to speak, but Lu Qilin said in a deep voice: "You two brothers and sisters are enough!" It's all a family, what is it like to quarrel and shout for outsiders? ”

The two of them still had a lot of respect for their father, and they immediately kept silent.

Lu Qilin thought for a long time, and then said: "It's not impossible to bring her with you." ”

Lu Yunfeng was overjoyed, "Thank you, father." ”

Lu Qilin glanced at him angrily and said, "I know your thoughts, you'd better take care of them as soon as possible." Lu Yunfeng's face was stunned for a moment, and he said with some embarrassment: "Father, I ......"

Lu Qilin snorted coldly and said, "Even if that Gong Molan is really born, now it is not worthy of you." What's more, since they are not from the Anxi Gong clan, I don't remember which palace family in Great Xia is or what kind of famous family. It's just a scholarly family with some money in the south, and it was good to say before that the Lu family would never marry a woman who had been ruined and innocent to become a young lady. ”

Lu Yunfeng said: "However, the palace girl said that she didn't ....... ”

Lu Qilin sneered, "Do you believe this?" Yun Feng, you are still young, your heart is looking at that palace, Mo Lan is beautiful like a fairy, and you feel that you can not care about anything. But if you do marry her, in a few years the color will be gone, and when you see her, you will only remember that she once fell into the hands of bandits. If this matter spreads, our Lu family's reputation will not be needed. It's not enough for you to lose face yourself, do you still want the Lu family to lose face with you? Are you really able to face the eyes of the world? Just for a woman? ”

"I..." Lu Yunfeng's face changed drastically, and there was more pain and struggle on his face. Obviously, what Lu Qilin said was not something he didn't think about, and even said a lot of things in his heart. But... Thinking of that beautiful and delicate woman, Lu Yunfeng would feel a throbbing pain in his heart.

Looking at his appearance, Lu Qilin snorted unhappily: "It's really useless!" ”

"Father" Lu Yunfeng lowered his head in shame.

Lu Xiangxiang saw that his father was on his side

On his side, he was immediately happy. smiled: "Big brother, what are you doing with this appearance?" Isn't it just a woman? Although my father won't let you marry her, it's nothing to take a concubine. Unless she is really an Anxi Gong clan, otherwise, with her current situation, it is not considered an insult to her. ”

Lu Yunfeng was a little moved, "Father......"

Lu Qilin glanced at Lu Xiangxiang angrily and said, "Nonsense, Gong Molan can't enter the Lu family no matter what." Don't forget why she's the way she is. ”

Lu Xiangxiang knew that he was at a loss, so he had to say: "Then Dad, what are you doing to save her?" ”

Lu Qilin snorted lightly: "That horse thief leader is very infatuated with the palace girl at first glance, it's not easy to handle a brainless horse thief with that color?" If she has a grudge, let's not think about doing business outside the customs in the future. ”

The corners of Lu Yunfeng's mouth moved, wanting to say that Miss Gong was not that kind of person, but she still didn't say it in front of her father. Lu Xiangxiang was puzzled, "Dad, then how do you want to settle Gong Molan?" ”

Lu Qilin lowered his eyes and said, "I heard... Marshal Hudun was very fond of the Central Plains women. ”

"Father?!" Lu Yunfeng was shocked, "You... Do you want to give the palace girl to Marshal Hudun? ”

Lu Qilin looked at him and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

Lu Yunfeng said: "Or... Let her go. Although Xiangxiang hurt her before, we have saved her now. If she lets her go, she shouldn't blame us. ”

"It's not promising!" Lu Qilin said coldly: "How can I have an indecisive son like you? I have sent to inform Marshal Hudun that I would give him a great gift. Now that the man is gone, where am I going to find someone for him? ”

"But ......"

"No, but." Lu Qilin said: "In the past two years, Marshal Hudun has been quite dissatisfied with our Lu family, if we can't make him happy this time, our whole family will have a hard time in the future." ”

Lu Xiangxiang hurriedly followed Lu Qilin to persuade his eldest brother, "Big brother, you also think about your father and us, is it possible that a woman you just met is more important than our whole family?" Lu Yunfeng was silent for a long time, and lowered his head weakly. Lu Qilin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good if you want to understand, as long as you are powerful and powerful, what kind of stunning beauty do you want to find?" ”

Lu Xiangxiang's eyes rolled and said, "Dad, that Gong Molan doesn't seem to be an obedient person, and if you want to dedicate her to Marshal Hudun, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Lu Qilin frowned, obviously thinking about this issue as well.

Lu Xiangxiang said: "I have a way, we just need to feed her some medicine first and let her sleep all the way." When the time comes... Even if she wanted to, it would be too late. ”

Lu Qilin thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Sure enough, Xiang'er is thoughtful, very good, just do it." ”

Lu Xiangxiang lowered his eyes, and a malicious smile flashed in his eyes, "Xiangxiang also wants to share his worries for his father." ”

Lu Yunfeng sat on the side, listening to his father and sister's plan to make Gong Molan obedient. I only felt a chill in my heart. He always thought that his father was a righteous gentleman, and that his little sister was well-behaved and kind. But... The two people in front of him seemed so strange. A few days ago, he was still reprimanding the little sister for not betraying the palace girl's father, who was planning to push the palace girl into another fire pit. His well-behaved little sister turned out to be just because Gong Junqing rejected her, and without even blinking her eyes, she wanted to put an already poor woman into an even more pitiful situation.

But... What could he do?

After discussing with Lu Xiangxiang, Lu Qilin glanced at his son who was in a daze, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Yun Feng." Leave this matter alone, go back and rest early. "This son... It's still too little to experience, too naïve. What a dangerous path is it to do business outside the border? If he is really a benevolent gentleman, this road will not be finished in their turn to be completed by the Lu family.

"Yes, father." Lu Yunfeng got up and said.

Outside, on the roof, a dark shadow crouched on the roof, as if it had merged with the whole night in the dark night. Knowing the sound below, he got up, revealing a pair of beautiful and moving eyes. A shallow smile appeared on the black's lips, and he stood up lightly, and disappeared on the roof with a few ups and downs, without making the slightest sound from beginning to end.

The door at the bottom opened, and Lu Yunfeng and Lu Xiangxiang, brother and sister, walked out. Lu Yunfeng didn't say hello to his sister, and turned around and walked in the direction of his room. Lu Xiangxiang was stunned, looked at his brother's back and snorted softly, and turned around and walked back to his room.
