On the bare avenue in winter, the man's long and straight body stood beside him, his skin was more delicate and white than that of a woman, like a pearl of jade, and even half of his pores were missing. He was as perfect as a god in heaven and as holy as a flower of a kaolin.

Li Congyao!

Jun Qinglan frowned fiercely, you ...... It's okay?!

He was refreshed, his eyes were clear, and of course he was fine! There was a moment of chaos in Jun Qinglan's mind, and he was in a coma just now when he was dying...... What's going on?

"It was the king who ordered Xue Yi to stay. The tiring journey and the displacement did not suit her in a stable life in the Duanwang Mansion. He said.

"Exactly." Li Xueyi smiled and said: "Xueyi can play an important role more than leaving. ”

"Brother." Li Xueyi said softly: "Help you get what you want." ”

Her words seemed to have a deep meaning, Li Congyao's eyes flashed, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

"Me!" Li Congyao gradually became solemn for the rest of his life: "Although I hope you stay in Yanjing, I pay more attention to your own wishes." Did you finally decide not to leave with me? ”

"Don't leave." Li Xueyi hooked her lips and smiled: "This place is more suitable for me, let alone ......." ”

She lowered her head slightly, looked at the ingots beside her, and smiled even more between her lips and teeth: "With the ingots with me, I will not be alone." ”

"Yuanbao is not leaving?" Jun Qinglan frowned again.

Yuanbao's identity is very important, and the reason why he wants to live in Duanwang's Mansion is because Li Congyao's strength and mind can protect him well. Now that even Li Congyao has been forced to leave Beijing, if the ingots are in danger......

That kind of situation Jun Qinglan didn't dare to imagine.

"I'm not leaving." Yuan Bao held his chest high: "There can't be no man in the palace." I stay, protect the princess, protect my mother, and wait for you to come back. ”

Jun Qinglan looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Yuanbao, do you know what it means for you to stay?" ”

"I know, it's dangerous." Yuan Bao was solemn: "But I am a man, protecting women and protecting their homes is what we men should do!" ”

Jun Qinglan wanted to refute, but found that there was no way to say a thousand words. In less than a year, Yuanbao has changed from the original gangster who was messing around the market and playing clever tricks to a smart, brave and responsible little man.

Such a transformation is gratifying, but it is also sad.

"Ingot Treasure." She slowly reached out and brushed Yuanbao's soft hair: "Duanwang Mansion and the county lord, I'll leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry, father-in-law. You told me that men should be responsible, and now is the time to play my part. Yuan Bao slapped his chest.

Except for that father-in-law, Jun Qinglan felt that what this kid said was still quite comfortable to listen to, but now seemed to be the time to correct this title.

"Father-in-law." Yuan Bao blinked his eyes and gently pulled Jun Qinglan's sleeve: "I'...... Can I ask you a question? ”

His desire to speak and the entanglement in his eyes made Jun Qinglan feel funny. This person who is not afraid of the earth and the earth, what kind of difficult problem can be called tangled into this appearance?

"That's it...... If one day you and ....... Yuan Bao swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Li Congyao: "If one day, you and King Duan get married, what should I call him?" The stepmother seems to be ...... It's not quite a good fit. ”

"It's ......." Jun Qinglan's face darkened, and he raised his hand without hesitation to poke a heavy bullet on his forehead: "You are young, what kind of messy things do you think!" ”

Yuan Bao covered his forehead with a sigh, full of grievances: "I don't blame me for this, I have gone through the history books." I really haven't seen a precedent for two men to get married. ”

"That's not something you should be thinking about at this stage!"

Jun Qinglan was a little crazy, she couldn't talk about it this day. She hurriedly said goodbye to Li Xueyi, and returned to the carriage as if she had fled, this kind of thorny question was left to Li Xueyi, she really had no way to explain it.

In the pavilion, Li Xueyi covered her lips and smiled, as if she was very happy. Li Congyao didn't know what to say to Yuanbao, and the gloomy clouds on the kid's face immediately dispersed, and his face was radiant.

Jun Qinglan sighed in her heart, what a good child, how can you ...... Crooked? I was depressed when I suddenly heard a slight knock on the window. Jun Qinglan looked out of the window, Rong Han stood under the car with a sword, his brows were tightly locked, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Jun Qinglan followed his gaze, staring at the pavilion for a moment, thinking of the past, Jun Qinglan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Ronghan, you stay."

Rong Han's eyes froze, and he suddenly raised his head.

Jun Qinglan hooked her lips and smiled: "The prince left Beijing with many secret guards, and he is not one of you." On the contrary, Yanjing is the most dangerous, and the county lord also needs a proper person to protect him, I think you are the most suitable. ”

"Lord Wang......." Rong Han half-furrowed his eyebrows: "The prince ordered me to protect you closely." ”

"The prince ordered you to protect me closely, does it mean that you will listen to me from now on?"

"Yes." Rong Han replied without hesitation.

"Good." Jun Qinglan nodded: "I order you now, from today onwards, protect the county lord of Chaoxia, can you do it?" ”

Rong Han raised his head in shock, the coldness in his eyes was clearly shattered, as if hiding a faint trace of gratitude: "Yes!" ”

He said only one word, and then swept towards the gazebo, without hesitation.

The sunset stretched the figures obliquely, and the three figures in the pavilion stood still, from this moment on, they were about to start a new legend in Yanjing City.

It wasn't until she couldn't see the three of them anymore that Jun Qinglan withdrew her eyes and slowly sat down: "Lord Wang." ”

She solemnly looked at Li Congyao: "I know that the Shenwu Army Tiger Talisman is the last guarantee of Duanwang Mansion. Now that you have handed over the tiger talisman to the emperor, why do you want to leave the county lord in the capital? The emperor can't find you and me, isn't it very dangerous for the county lord? ”

"Only by keeping Xue Yi in Yanjing can everyone rest assured." Li Congyao leaned on the soft pillow and slowly spoke: "Just like all the generals guarding the border gates, their private houses and families must be the same in the capital. ”

The generals are not subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, and sometimes the emperor is beyond the reach of the whip, and he really can't control the border guards. Coupled with the fact that they have a heavy army, it will be a very tricky thing to rebel in. Therefore, successive emperors have required generals to place their families in the capital. On the surface, it is to provide them with a better living environment, but in fact those people are hostages.

If you dare to rebel, be prepared to cut off your children and grandchildren.

Now, Li Congyao and Jun Qinglan fled from Yanjing, but left Li Xueyi behind, which also shows an attitude to the emperor that no matter when and where, they are always loyal to Northern Xia.

"And." Li Congyao's eyes flashed: "You don't want to underestimate Xue Yi." She can endure humiliation and pretend to be crazy for nearly ten years, and she has not even seen this king, so she has enough ability to protect herself. Not to mention ingots. ”

Li Congyao hooked the corner of his lips: "What is the tiger talisman compared to ingots?" Ingot is the real life charm! ”

Yuan Bao is the only heir of the Northern Xia royal family, and there is no one. Emperor Beixia is brain-screwing for inheritance every day, if he knows that there is such a person as ingots in the world, he can't be crazy?

Jun Qinglan frowned: "So, you let Yuan Bao follow the county lord, you are actually selfish." ”

People will have feelings when they get along with each other for a long time, so why worry that ingots won't desperately protect Li Xueyi?

"Huh." Li Congyao smiled faintly: "Back then, Fulai chose Xue Yi to be Yuanbao's mother, didn't it also have a deep meaning?" Keeping the two of them in one place is the best option. ”

Jun Qinglan thought about Li Congyao's words carefully and felt that it made sense. Compared with Yanjing's life, she and Li Congyao's situation is the most dangerous. If the emperor really wants to get rid of them, he can do it at any time. They have long been away from the capital, and even if they die outside, they will never splash dirty water on the emperor. After all, the world is not very peaceful.

"I always feel ...... to be humble." Jun Qinglan said: "You shouldn't give the tiger talisman to the emperor. The value of lowly duties cannot be compared to that of the Tiger Talisman. ”

"If there is no thing of equal weight, how can I justifiably take you out of Beijing to Guanzhou Mansion?"

“…… Governing the state capital? ”

Jun Qinglan was taken aback. These three very familiar words once haunted her, but they became scars that she would never dare to touch for the rest of her life. Li Congyao once said that when Xiao Wan's case is over, he will take her to manage the state capital and find out the case of the Qin family. She once thought that this was just a joke, but where did she think that he actually did it!

In such a resolute way!

"In this world, Zhang Qian is not the only one who knows how to keep promises. I've done what I promised, haven't I? ”

Of course it did! But this is also a cost...... It's too big!

"Lord Wang, your kindness...... There is no reward for lowly duty. Jun Qinglan's heart trembled slightly, she had never been a clumsy person, but at this moment, she felt that there was not a word that could express her mood at the moment.

Li Congyao looked at her: "When you go out, everything is simple. I have already abandoned the identity of King Duan, why do you always guard the official position of Jinyiwei's sesame mung bean? ”

“…… Kindness? ”

Jun Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that when Li Congyao talked to her, he had always used the title of me. I! is an ordinary title like an ordinary person, and it is no longer the cold king who is high above. He was conveying a message to her, that she was equal to him.

"Lord, I'm ......."

Li Congyao half-furrowed his eyebrows: "If you don't get used to it, you will force yourself to get used to it." ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips, lowered her head and replied yes, if she was entangled again, she would really be a little ignorant.

"You don't need to worry too much." Li Congyao said slowly: "The Shenwu Army Tiger Talisman is not such a simple thing. Even if the emperor got the two tiger talismans in his hands at this moment, he would never be able to use them. Because....... ”

Li Congyao hooked the corners of his lips, and a touch of depth was forced out in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and the smile on his lips was slightly cold and profound: "Because, those two tiger talismans can't be put together at all!" ”
