Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cousin

"Cousin! Cousin, help me! Xiao Yan saw him quickly, and immediately called out loudly.

Liu Nianru turned her head to look over, and saw the corners of Duan Bailan's mouth twitching.

Cousin? He can call it out.

"You bastard, why do you have so many relatives!" The big man was a little unhappy, and the hand wielding the knife was also a little hesitant.

It was probably Duan Bailan's noble temperament, as well as the expensive coat that stopped them at first glance, so that they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

"Why are you here?" Liu Nianru was surprised, she thought that as soon as she left yesterday, Duan Bailan would ignore her for at least a while.

"I'll take you away." Duan Bailan took her hand, took her into his arms, and looked at Xiao Yan coldly.

It seems that the last beating still failed to make him remember it for a long time, and he dared to come again.

"Cousin, and me!" Xiao Yan called out loudly.

"You? Just stay there. After Duan Bailan finished speaking, she hugged Liu Nianru and left.

He didn't know why Xiao Yan suddenly came here to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but nothing happened after all, but the more he looked at Xiao Yan recently, the more he felt unpleasant, and it was good not to beat him.

Those people didn't stop them, and then surrounded Xiao Yan in the middle.

When he arrived in a place where there was no one, Liu Nianru broke free of his embrace and silently took a step back. Seeing her retreat, Duan Bailan didn't say a word, and let her move. It's just that the air pressure around him is still very low, which makes people dare not offend.

"Thank you." Liu Nianru said.

In fact, she may have escaped herself, but Xiao Yan is really annoying.

"No thanks, just a gesture." After Duan Bailan finished speaking, she added, "So you don't have to suspect that I have other intentions for you."

Liu Nianru was a little embarrassed, but still said stiffly: "That's good." That being the case, I will take my leave. ”

She wanted to leave, but he was a little reluctant.

Originally, he should have been in Kyoto at this time, but he was reluctant to let her come to Jiangnan so far alone, so he followed.

He took Liu Nianru's hand.

Liu Nianru turned around and quickly shook his hand away: "Is there anything else going on with Lord Duan?"

It's really strange, his hand is much easier to shake off than Xiao Yan's, maybe because he is afraid of hurting her.

Duan Bailan said with some difficulty: "You better stay away from Xiao Yan, so as not to have something that will affect you."

Especially Xiao Yan didn't agree with her and did something to her, he looked uncomfortable.

"Thank you!" Liu Nianru thought to herself, this is not that she is willing to be so close to Xiao Yan, it is because he took the initiative to find trouble and come to the door, so she is unwilling to cause these things.

The words came to his lips, but he was silently estranged.

"I already know about Lu Gong. Qing Ling shouldn't have bothered you to help, since you don't want Lu Gong to die, then I will save his life. Duan Bailan thought for a moment and added.

When he said this, Liu Nianru remembered that there were still some things she hadn't asked him. Really, I got carried away for some virtual children's affections.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let Lu Gong go? How did Lu Gong escape to Jiangnan. Liu Nianru asked.

If the palace wanted to imprison a person, it would never be possible to let people escape so easily.

"Someone saved him, I don't know who it is, it could be the prime minister's person." Duan Bailan replied.

In fact, he didn't care much about Lu Gong's escape, he didn't really want Lu Gong to die, even if it was for Qingling's face.

"Oh?" Liu Nianru quickly analyzed in her mind: "It seems that the eldest princess and the prime minister are not so harmonious, one rescues and the other kills."

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her lips pursed slightly, and she had a little more coquettishness for no reason. Duan Bailan was also in a good mood when he saw her like this, and a smile swam into the corner of his eyes, but he didn't realize that he had returned to his usual gentle and amiable appearance.

"The eldest princess may have a big move recently, Xiao Yan suddenly came to Jiangnan, it must not be a whim, you should be careful." Duan Bailan said, "Although he is ridiculous, he rarely does useless work. ”

"Well, I see." Liu Nianru responded.

A bright moon was shining on the attic, Xiao Yan had already changed his clothes, holding a wine glass made of jade worth thousands of gold in his hand, and slowly poured a glass of wine.

And the one sitting opposite him and drinking with him was the head of the richest Lin family.

"It's really interesting to have the head of the Laurin family acting in this play for me." Xiao Yan smiled and raised his glass to drink with the head of the Lin family.

A flock of crows screamed arrogantly, fluttering in the moonlight, with a bit of villainy.

"You'd better tie it down." A group of black-clad men, each holding a scimitar, looked indifferently and mercilessly at the man who was surrounded by them.

Lu Gong smiled, "Do you think you can kill me with just a few of you?" ”

The people in black kept silent, but the movements of their hands were very fast, attacking Lu Gong.

He deserved to be one of the most effective generals under Duan Bailan in the past, and he had never fallen behind after fighting with them for a long time.

A cloud-piercing arrow shot at Lu Gong silently, but it was knocked down by a black chess piece in mid-air.

Lu Gong's gaze seemed to glance towards a certain place in the darkness, and he was pulled back again.

Several more black pieces popped up, hitting the key point of the man in black, and in a few moments, they were all lying on the ground.

Lu Gong stood still.

"Lu Gong see the prince!" Lu Gong saluted to the darkness.

The two people who were hidden in the shadows walked over, naturally Duan Bailan and Liu Nianru.

"Are you sure you're not coming with us?" Duan Bailan stared at Lu Gong without a trace of a smile on her face.

Liu Nianru also looked at him, in fact, if it weren't for Qingling, she wouldn't care about his life and death.

"Lu Gong understands that he is ashamed of the prince and the prime minister, and today he was rescued by the prince, and Lu Gong did not dare to be protected and favored by the prince anymore." Lu Gong said respectfully to Duan Bailan.

He said it sincerely, but it couldn't change the fact that he had betrayed Duan Bailan.

"What about Qingling?" Liu Nianru looked at him coldly and asked.

"It's the one who has failed the county lord of Qingling." A trace of pain crossed Lu Gong's eyes, but he still refused to flinch.

"That secret is so important to you?" Liu Nianru couldn't help but ask.

In terms of interests, of course she wanted to know what Lu Gong knew. After all, in ancient times when information was opaque, who knew more, would be able to strike first.

And now morally, she must save his life. But for a person like him who has no desire to survive, she really has a headache.

"Yes." Lu Gong still didn't change his words and replied.

"Don't you dare to take my refuge?" Duan Bailan laughed, he snapped his fingers, and a bunch of black-clothed people immediately appeared around him. "Of course I won't shelter you, but you are a traitor, and I will arrest you and imprison you, rightly so."
