She's met a great person.

Lu Xihe was not sure, if this person really wanted to kill her, she would not have any ability to resist.

But she couldn't die yet. She hasn't found her brother's murderer yet, how can she die like this?

She was not reconciled.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road, and the ghost knife knew that the person was coming.

"I'm here and let her go."

Ning Yan's voice came from the darkness, and a tall figure appeared in front of him.

He came alone.

"You're confident." Ghost Knife said.

Ning Yan saw Lu Xihe who was tied up for the first time, and saw that she was disheveled, and her eyes were covered with cloth, like a porcelain doll that couldn't move. In an instant, his brain went blank, as if five thunders had hit the top, and his heart ached faintly. He ran towards her almost instinctively.

A big knife stopped in front of him, and the ghost knife said expressionlessly, "Duel." ”

Ning Yan's eyes were red, "What did you do to her?" He asked through gritted teeth.

Seeing this, the ghost knife understood that Ning Yan had misunderstood something, but he didn't care, his task today was to duel with him.

"You've seen it." Before the ghost knife spoke, the two had already fought together.

Lu Xihe couldn't see anything, she could only rely on the sound of the fight between the two to distinguish the direction. The sound of swords colliding, the sound of flesh breaking, I don't know how long it lasted.

She felt a hand touch her face, with a moist coolness and the smell of blood.

The light gradually regained in front of her, and under the cold white moonlight, she saw Ning Yan kneeling in front of her covered in blood, and the strip of cloth in her hand was stained with blood.

She suddenly wanted to cry.

Ning Yan held the sword in his left hand to support the ground, and rubbed it on her head with the other hand, "What are you crying about." ”

His voice was low and powerful, and she almost burst into tears with a sore nose.

"Don't be afraid, I beat him away." He lowered his voice to comfort her.

Lu Xihe's heart was very chaotic, she had thought of countless ways to deal with him, pulling him into the abyss, and even ruined his reputation. However, he appeared at her most dangerous and fearful time.

Fight with your life, just to save her.

She was ashamed of her carefulness and ashamed of her thoughts.

The hand slowly moved over her shoulder, embracing her completely.

Lu Xihe didn't push him away.

Ning Yan felt that everything was worth it. In this moment, he had a decision. He wanted to protect her under his wings and let her be safe and happy for the rest of her life.

At that time, the inn was quiet, and the night was quiet and peaceful.

On the far side of the street, a man led a horse towards the inn, on horseback sat a young girl, she was dressed in a man's blood-stained robe, the moonlight was hazy, and the figures of the two were reflected on the ground and stretched long.

Ning Yan's injuries were not light, but he insisted on personally sending Lu Xihe back.

Lu Xihe couldn't resist him, so he had to treat his wound briefly and hurried back.

Her always sober mind was in a mess at this time, and she was always suspicious of others. She is good at analyzing others from the details, but she really can't find evidence to prove that Ning Yan has bad intentions and that he has other purposes.

"I'm the one who has caused you." Ning Yan tied the horse to the tree, stretched out his long arm to take her off the horse, and admonished: "I'm not sure if he's dead or not, but you have to be careful during this time, it's best to stay by your eldest brother's side." ”

"Do you know who he is?"

Ning Yan sneered, "The person sent by the prince, I usually don't care about him. I was really angry this time. ”

"Prince?" Lu Xihe recalled the prince he had met once, he was obsessed with female celebrities, treated people politely, and behaved like a gentleman. To say that Ning Yan sent someone to kill him, I'm afraid it's even more convincing.

"You don't believe it? Don't look at him as a good old man on the surface, in fact, he is pretending. The whole Forbidden City is his most hypocritical. Ning Yanqi's face changed, how many stumbling blocks the prince secretly gave him, he had put up with the prince for a long time!

"I see." Lu Xihe was not sure in his heart, whether the true face of the prince was consistent with what he said, and Tianji Pavilion had too little information about the prince.

"Ouch! Your Highness! Where have you been! How did you get hurt! Bai Xi was followed by a team of people and came at a gallop.

Ning Yan stood in front of her and scolded, "What kind of body is panicking!" ”

Bai Xi and the others immediately stopped their feet, walked over solemnly and saluted: "Your Highness! ”

"Who allowed you to come out?" Ning Yan had a black face, "Don't follow me without my order." ”

Bai Xi was embarrassed: "Your Highness, in the middle of the night, you better go back." Your Majesty knows and it is time to reproach you. ”

"Don't use him to press me." The unruly Ning Yan is used to being arrogant, in his heart, that emperor Lao Tzu has nothing to fear at all, except for blood relationship, there is no emotion between them. He hates the emperor most of the time when he puts on that emperor's posture, and he hates even more that he is unkind and ignores the women he loves.

So Ning Yan left the capital since he was a child, and he would rather go to the military camp to endure hardships than see these people who made him sick.

It was also in the barracks that he met Lu Xihe's father, Lu Jing. That's because he was a child, and Lu Jing was already a famous general, and with the border he guarded, no one dared to provoke.

Lu Jing didn't give him any preferential treatment because he was the prince, he got up early every day to train in the dark, and then he was promoted for his military exploits on the battlefield, and he came to his current position step by step. Looking back, his days in the barracks were the days when he endured the most hardships and was the most comfortable.

How can there be so many intrigues.

Ning Yan hated these things from the bottom of his heart, and those people who were inconsistent with each other made him extremely disgusted by their pretentious faces.

Lu Xihe stood behind him, blocked tightly.

If she knew Ning Yan's thoughts, she would definitely turn around and leave at this moment.

There was a sudden commotion in the inn.

It should be that they found out that Lu Xihe was gone.

"Let's go inside." Ning Yan sent her to the door, feeling a little awkward, would she be too dirty with the way she looked?

Lu Xihe saw that his face was strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He said unnaturally, "It's not good for me to go in with you." ”

Lu Xihe didn't understand it even more, he was puzzled in his heart, but he said: "It's okay, you go back to deal with the wound and recuperate for a few days." Thank you so much for today. ”

She turned and walked over, her hand on the door, her heart was sour for a moment, how should she explain this? What happens when you spread your name?

Bai Xi whispered: "Your Highness, are you just letting it go?" A daughter's house was arrested in the middle of the night, even if nothing happened, it was hard to guarantee that she would not be gossiped. It's different when you appear, no one dares to gossip about you, won't this matter be over? Bai Xi handed over a clean robe, and Ning Yan put it on directly.

Only then did he come back to his senses, moving faster than his brain, pushing open the door with one hand and dragging her behind him with the other.

"With me, no one dares to talk about you."

Is this his promise?

Lu Xihe's melancholy heart instantly became clear, some people said that what about her, she didn't care at all.

Lu Yiran sent most of his men to find him, and he was in a mess.

How could a good person suddenly disappear?

"Where are you...", he didn't dare to imagine what was happening, his whole heart was hanging, he blamed himself for his negligence, and hated the wicked people in the world inexhaustibly.

When he saw Ning Yan appear, he was stunned.

"Big brother." The person behind Ning Yan slowly walked out, his head lowered like a child who had done something wrong.

Lu Yiran looked at the clothes on her body in disbelief, and then at Ning Yan, a burst of fire rushed to the top of her head.

"You—" He tried his best to restrain himself, lonely man and widow, in the middle of the night...

The more he didn't think about it, the more those thoughts lingered.

"You're Lu Yiran." Ning Yan looked at him, and always felt that this person was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Lu Yiran tried his best to calm down and said, "Should Your Highness explain?" ”

Seeing this, Qiulan and Luluo didn't dare to make a sound, kneeling aside and listening to their movements.

Ning Yan's black-gold pupils showed a touch of disdain, "I'll take her out to play, that's all." ”

Lu Yiran sneered, "It's late at night, why did you take her out?" Isn't it for moon viewing? ”

"You say yes, yes." Ning Yan's wound was still bleeding, and he had no interest in answering such a boring question anymore.

"Big brother, it's not like this..."Lu Xihe wanted to tell the truth, after all, he was a member of the Lu family, and it was understandable to know this.

"I didn't ask you, you obediently go to the side." Lu Yiran looked at her sideways, and in her always cold eyes, there was a complexity that she couldn't understand.

Qiulan cautiously stepped forward to hold her hand, "Miss, you are weak, it's time to rest." ”

Lu Xihe raised her eyes and bumped into Ning Yan's gentle gaze, she smiled slightly, signaling that she was fine.

"I've sent her back in good condition, farewell." Ning Yan's wound has been bleeding, and if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid that the blood will seep out of his clothes.

As a man, how could Lu Yiran not understand Ning Yan's eyes.

Okay, his Ruan Ruan, even the five princes want to rob it.

Ning Yan, Xiao family, Lu Yiran knew where Ning Yan's weakness was after a little thought, and it didn't take much energy to deal with him.

"It's late at night, Your Highness is at your own convenience." Lu Yiran watched Ning Yan and the others leave the inn, and commanded with a blushing face: "You all go down." ”

The hall was empty in an instant.

Lu Xihe sat on the wooden bench, bowing his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Why do you travel with outsiders without making a sound? What if something happens? Lu Yiran was very angry, but in a blink of an eye, she found that there were several blood stains on her body, although they had dried up, they were shocking!

He strode over, "Are you hurt?" Who hurt you, Ning Yan? ”

At the last sentence, his voice trembled uncontrollably, as forbearant as he was, but he was in a state of confusion over everything that had happened to her.

"Big brother, the injured person is not me, it's the Fifth Highness."

Lu Xihe's words made Lu Yiran's heart that was about to mention his throat relax, "Tell me what happened." ”

Lu Xihe told him the whole thing truthfully.

"It's good you're okay." Lu Yiran lowered his head and gently wrapped her in his arms.

She subconsciously pushed him away. Lu Yiran's heart throbbed, and he pretended not to care: "The maid next to you is unreliable, or I will send a few people over to protect you." ”

Lu Xihe's heart was filled with suspicions, and that strange feeling lingered from the moment he entered this inn.

She deliberately approached Lu Yiran's body, close to his ears, and looked intimate.

Lu Yiran's heart was beating extremely fast, she was...

I only heard her whisper lingering in my ears: "Big brother, let's go back and talk." ”

Lu Yiran turned around and squatted down in front of her, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

For a moment, Lu Xihe seemed to have returned to his childhood. At that time, my brother liked to play around with him behind his back, no matter how much he messed with him, he didn't care about himself, and the big brother in front of him...
