Chapter 1 The Road to Harmony

"Hadanara, Lan Xi'er, deferential and soft, sensitive, and humble......

Now he is canonized as the lord of Lanxi, and he is married to Zhu ......"

The slender jade hand clenched the holy decree, raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror, slightly stunned.

"County Lord, the time has come, it's time for you to get on the sedan chair." The bride on the side was smiling, bowing down, waiting to support the bride.

Lan Xi'er turned her head to look at the bride, and then looked at herself in the mirror, in a festive red dress, with long hair coiled up, full of phoenix gold hairpins, and crimson rouge, lining her skin crystal clear. And although these eyes are bright but extremely cold, the corners of their mouths unconsciously contain a cold smile. Beauty is beautiful, but it is no longer yourself. After a long silence, he nodded slightly. The bride on the side hurriedly put on her hijab, helped her up steadily, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her walk on the sedan chair.

The bustle came and went, but the sedan chair stopped, and Lan Xi'er knew that it was the city gate that had arrived. Putting down the holy decree, he took a deep breath and walked out of the sedan chair. The weather at the end of March, between the white mountains and black waters, is still a cold wind, the cold wind blows a little nervous, raised his hand and lifted the hijab, looking around the familiar world, the excitement and joy in front of him seem to be because of himself, and he feels so strange. Eniang, who was not far away, was already full of tears, and this should be her last affection. Holding back tears, he smiled in surprise. The bride on the side wanted to remind her to put down her hijab, but she followed the bride's eyes and caught a glimpse of Princess Hada not far away. I had to bow my head in disdain, not daring to say more.

"Xi'er" Hada Princess Mang Guji finally pushed away the barrier of the guards, ran to her daughter's side, held her daughter's hand, the cold temperature, chilled the princess's heart, only tears could not be stopped, but a thousand words of entrustment could not say half a word. E-Niang has always been arrogant and domineering, but at the moment she is so weak and helpless. Lan Xi'er's heart hurt and suffered.

"Eniang, don't worry."

Stubbornly with tears in his eyes, he tried to keep his smile on his face. She knew that the only thing she could leave for her mother was a smile.

"Xi'er, it's useless to be a mother." Mang Guji cried bitterly, seeing her daughter's smile, she only felt that her heart was broken, as if there were ten thousand needles piercing her heart, and she couldn't breathe in pain.

"E-niang. Don't worry, my daughter will be fine. Lan Xi'er took a deep breath, caressed Eniang's shoulder, and hugged Eniang tightly, this familiar taste made her nostalgic, she couldn't control herself anymore, tears left her eyes, couldn't stop flowing, and fell on Eniang's shoulder. Feeling E-Niang's sobbing, Lan Xi'er's consciousness slowly recovered, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and pushed E-niang away. turned around and found the float, the float that would send her to Nanming, even though she was unwilling in her heart, she gritted her teeth and ran towards the float.

"Xi'er......" Mang Guji cried out heartbreakingly. Wu Ergu dragged her back to him, pressed her in his arms, and watched his daughter leave like this, without giving him a look, knowing that his daughter hated him, and that he, a useless Amma, had been someone else's puppet all his life. But his daughter is caught up in such rumors, and all he can do is push her into another life. Even though she is thousands of miles away in the future, all he wants is for his daughter to live, and he only wants her to live. At this moment, I'm afraid that no one will believe it, and no matter how puppet a person is, it will be painful.

The cold wind dried the tears, the vision returned to clear, and the heart was a little relieved to see that Eniang had been taken into Amma's arms. smiled indifferently, Ama Eniang said goodbye in this life, the fate of this life ended like this, her heart was painful, she straightened her body, knelt in front of her parents, and kowtowed three times in a proper manner. Raising his hand and putting down his hijab, he was supported by the bride and walked on the float. Hetuara City, she doesn't have to be nostalgic anymore, the people and things in the city will go with the wind.

With a "go", Lan Xi'er's body softened, and the tears seemed to have been discussed with the wheels, flowing wantonly as the wheels squeaked and rolled. At this moment, she realized that silent sobbing was much more comfortable than being strong in front of people. She had no worries anymore.

The setting sun has already stained the whole land, the procession of sending off relatives stopped on the road to rest, and the soldiers started to cook, each busy in their own way. Because it's not going to war, the overall picture looks relaxed and harmonious. A young man dressed in a red flag, his silhouette is particularly handsome in the sunset. Holding a white horse, he walked slowly from the team, and when he passed the float, he was distracted for a moment, bolted the horse to a big tree not far away, untied a wine jug from the horse's back, exhaled a breath of white air gently, raised his hand and poured a sip of wine, warmed his body, and sat against the tree. Although he is dressed in a military uniform, the whole person is very elegant and quiet, with a pair of bright eyes, but his expression is too cold, which is incompatible with the warm picture.

"Yue Tuo, take it." Du Zhi, who was also wearing a red flag garment, walked up to Yue Tuo, threw a set of bows and arrows, and smashed them on Yue Tuo's legs. They are all fair-skinned, and they have a pair of feminine gentle eyes, beautiful faces, and tender smiles, which have fascinated too many women. Yue Tuo didn't even raise his head, a pair of unwavering eyes, just glanced at the bow and arrow lightly, pushed it away casually, dusted off the corners of his clothes, and continued to pour wine on himself.

"I think that forest is good, let's go hunt for some game." Du Zhi didn't care about Yue Tuo's ignorance, bent down and grabbed the wine jug in Yue Tuo's hand, raised his hand to pour himself a sip of wine, looked at the forest in front of him, and pulled Yue Tuo's arm, trying to drag him. Yue Tuo was unmoved, even if he was pulled and shaken by Du Class, he just stretched out his hand, waiting for Du Class to return his wine jug.

Du couldn't bear it anymore, and finally broke out and shouted:

"It's been ten days, we've been on for ten days, you can't say a word, you are now sitting not far away and staring at the float in addition to riding a horse, I know you feel guilty, but we all know that the rumors are about the two emperors and grandsons, and she is involved, the best way is to go and kiss, I am now looking at Wu Er Gu differently, a person who is only willing to promise has such courage this time. Now that we are following the team, we are acting on the opportunity, so why should you blame yourself so much and talk about rumors......"

Yue Tuo's suddenly sharp eyes made Du Zhi quiet down. Helplessly, he looked at the float and sighed lightly. A trace of sadness welled up in my heart. Whether it is marriage or marriage, these people have never been able to help themselves. It seems that under the glamorous appearance of Brother and Gege, who will understand the little-known sadness. Lan Xi'er and the pro-incident, although he and Yue Tuo were unintentional, they were also facilitated by them. Yue Tuo is very guilty, but in recent years, too many things have happened to Yue Tuo, and he has become silent, and after the kiss incident, Yue Tuo is no different from the walking dead. He didn't want to look at Yue Tuo like this, in this world, there was no trace of temperature in life.

"Xi'er likes to eat barbecue the most, these days Su Ya has been reporting that she is just eating some simple meals, why don't we go and get some game, how about it?" Yue Tuo still didn't move, but he raised his eyes to look at the forest, and then at the float, which fell into the eyes of Du Zhi. All classes know that there is hope.

"Don't worry, there is Uncle Nine here, and there are so many soldiers, there will be no problem." Du Zhi tried to tug Yue Tuo's arm again, and finally he picked up his bow and arrows on the ground and walked towards the woods.

"Gege, do you want to get out of the float and move your muscles." Su Ya looked at Lan Xi'er cautiously. I don't get tired of asking her every day.

It's just that Lan Xi'er has been giving her a faint shake of her head in response for a few days, and then continues to look out the window. In the crowd looming outside the curtain, Su Ya didn't know what Gege wanted to see, and in fact, Lan Xi'er didn't know what to expect.

Su Ya lamented in her heart and walked out of the float. Su Ya knows Lan Xi'er, she is the third princess Mang Guji's big Gege, although she has never been in contact, she also knows that this Gege was raised by the stars, that carefree smile, that calmness of talking and laughing, how many people have been envied, there are too many Geges who love Xinjueluo's family, but there are really few people who can grow up happily like Lan Xi'er, but Aixinjueluo's fate, who can escape, princesses are used to kiss, not to mention the princess's daughter, fifteen-year-old age, also needs to carry the mission of the nation, Embark on this path of harmony. Everyone understood that this was a useless kiss, but they still sent out Gege. In this rapidly changing era, who cares about the life of a Gege.

When Su Ya saw Lan Xi'er, she was no longer happy or angry, and she was surprisingly quiet every day. Suya knew it wasn't the real her. If there is no joy in being a human being, then there should be some sadness, even if it is better to cry than to be so disheartened.

Su Ya couldn't bear it in her heart, so she put on ordinary clothes for Lan Xi'er, even if she could get out of the float and move her muscles. But Gege in front of him didn't care about eating, drinking, living and traveling, and he didn't take half a step out of the float.

"Hahaha, run, run, you should run farther away, let the master see how capable you are."

"It's still the ninth master's wisdom, and she has long known that this girl is going to escape, but it's a pity that she is so uncompetitive that she was discovered before our team even ran out. Hahaha. ”

"Girl, our lord is the ninth elder brother of the big man, if you follow our lord now, there will be glory and wealth for you to enjoy in the future, what are you running, you are too dissatisfied."

"It's, it's just, I don't know what to do, you girl."

Several soldiers gossiped, and everywhere they looked, a woman was sitting on the ground, in tattered clothes, with a disheveled head, her eyebrows and eyes were quite exquisite, and the whole person was already trembling, but a pair of eyes were very stubborn staring at the ninth elder brother who came over step by step.

"Okay, let's bring it back to you." Brother Jiu stretched his waist and glanced at the woman on the ground lightly.

A soldier approached the woman, rudely grabbed the woman's arm, and dragged her to her feet and walked towards Brother Jiu's tent.

"Suya, what's wrong." Lan Xi'er stepped off the float and stopped beside Su Ya, looking for a noisy place.

"Gege, you're out, you're cold." Su Ya said as she raised her hand to tie Lan Xi'er's cloak.

"Gege, look." Su Ya pursed her mouth and looked in the direction of the group of people in the ninth elder brother.

"Ah......" A soldier's scream, Lan Xi'er raised her eyes to find prestige, a woman had already fallen not far in front of her, the woman seemed to be in pain, her eyes were full of tears, but she still crawled towards Lan Xi'er regardless of it. Unfortunately, the soldiers were faster and ran up to surround her. The woman could only look up at Lan Xi'er through the soldiers, with blood at the corners of her mouth and tears in her eyes, but she could only look at her without moving. Brother Jiu raised his hand to give the soldiers a gesture to stop moving, everyone looked at the woman with a smile, and Brother Jiu squatted beside the woman, his eyes full of sneers and contempt.

"You run, you run. Oh, you want to beg her to save you. With the woman's eyes, she looked at Lan Xi'er and smiled slightly: "You all get out of the way and let Gege come in." Both the woman and Lan Xi'er were shocked. Lan Xi'er frowned and glanced at Brother Jiu. This is a ridiculous uncle, she has known it since she was a child. I just didn't expect it to be so ridiculous.

The woman didn't look at Brother Jiu, and when she saw the soldiers scattering, she was overjoyed, and crawled directly to Lan Xi'er, stopped at her feet, and raised her hand to try to grab the corner of her skirt. Lan Xi'er instinctively took half a step back. I didn't panic, I just watched quietly. Seeing that her clothes and feet were empty, the woman crawled forward again, raised her head and looked at Lan Xi'er and made a hoarse voice: "This Gege, please, please kill me." ”

"Hmph, what do you think you are going to do, look at your virtue, Ye has long been out of interest, okay, don't say that Ye doesn't love you, as long as we kill you, you will get rid of Ye. However, Ye kindly reminds you that if you can't seize this opportunity, you will be better off than dead. Hahaha. ”

Brother Jiu's wanton laughter made Lan Xi'er very disgusted, it was a human life in front of him, but he was so childish. glared at him angrily, but he didn't have an idea in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. The woman looked at Lan Xi'er with hope, knelt in front of her and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Ask Gege, ask Gege to kill me, ask Gege to give me a good time." The sincere request hit Lan Xi'er's nerves, surprised her, but also overwhelmed her.

"Go, go get a knife for Gege." Soon a soldier walked up to Lan Xi'er, holding a knife in both hands, and stood respectfully.

Lan Xi'er turned her head, looked at the knife, and then at the woman, I don't know how long it was, maybe there was a stick of incense. It's just that she didn't move, no one moved.

"Bring people back." Brother Jiu's cold voice and a hint of evil smile floated in his eyes, making people feel cold behind their backs.

"This Gege, please help me, kill me." The woman suddenly cried out in a heart-rending voice. Intensify the efforts to keep kowtowing.

"It's better to be broken than to be complete." Now she understands the helplessness and desolation of this sentence. Just like at this moment, in this world, many people are worse than dead. He raised his head, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to take the knife, and clenched it hard, suppressing the fear and tension in his heart, trying his best to stabilize his trembling hand. looked at the woman in front of him, but still didn't move. Lan Xi'er's sudden change made Brother Jiu a little surprised, and he raised his hand to let the soldiers continue to wait, looking at the two women in front of him with interest, as if smiling.

"Uncle Nine, what are you going to do?" Yue Tuo's voice was very cold, and there was a bit of anger in his cold eyes, and that aggressiveness could not tolerate half of the aggression of others. The capital class also lost his old smile, and he was as cold and domineering as he was expressionless. Brother Jiu was obviously taken aback, and immediately put away his smile.

Lan Xi'er was even more shocked in her heart, looking for prestige in disbelief, her heart suddenly became nervous, and she looked at the person who came in a daze, it turned out to be Yue Tuo, she couldn't believe what she saw, Yue Tuo had really stopped by her side.

Yue Tuo loosened his eyebrows, his face was cold and instantly retracted, his eyes were warm and distressed, and he met Lan Xi'er's eyes and stopped beside her, but he didn't know what to say.

"Didn't do anything, just kidding with my niece." Brother Jiu came back to his senses, and also dragged back Yue Tuo and Lan Xi'er's eyes.

"Our third sister's big Gege has never killed anyone. Okay, okay, just don't play. Take people back, don't disturb our Taiji and Gege Qing. Brother Jiu glanced at Yue Tuo and Lan Xi'er with a smile. gave his own eyes and prepared to leave. Lan Xi'er, Brother Jiu naturally didn't pay attention to it, but the eldest son and grandson in front of him who had made great achievements in battle was no longer something that a big man like him could afford to provoke. Since you can't afford to mess with it, it's better to leave as soon as possible.

Lan Xi'er was still in a trance, thinking about why Yue Tuo suddenly appeared. The knife in his hand was slowly put down, but the knife was suddenly pulled in the lightning and thunder, and when he came back to his senses, the knife stopped, but at the end, it was actually the chest of the woman on the ground. Soon the woman collapsed, ragged and covered in blood. As he fell, he moved his mouth at Lan Xi'er. This was her last word in this world, and Lan Xi'er knew that it was a thank you. Lan Xi'er's whole person fell into dizziness and shock, and she was at a loss for what to do. A smell of blood came to my nose, my nerves couldn't hold on any longer, and it was pitch black in front of me.

"Xi'er." Yue Tuo hurriedly supported Lan Xi'er and picked her up, Brother Jiu hurriedly came over, but the chill in Yue Tuo's eyes, he unconsciously stopped, and had to watch Yue Tuo turn around and leave. Du Zhi ordered people to go to the imperial doctor and followed Yue Tuo.

"Doctor, Gege should have been stimulated, but why did he faint, Gege hasn't eaten well recently, is there something unwell in his body." Yue Tuo frowned, his eyes did not leave Lan Xi'er for half a minute, compared to his previous composure, he could be called incoherent at this moment.

The Imperial Doctor was obviously stunned. After checking the pulse, he still unconsciously glanced at Yue Tuo Taiji.

"Doctor, you are diagnosing and treating, what's wrong with Gege, why did the person faint when he was fine." Du Zhi looked at Lan Xi'er, whose face was pale, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

The imperial doctor finally came back to his senses, bowed down and said humbly: "Don't worry, the two Taiji, Gege's body is fine, but he is a little frightened. Lao Chen prescribed some soothing and appetizing medicine, let Gege sleep steadily, and then take some tonic meat, and it would be fine for a few days. After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he saluted the two masters and walked out of the float.

"Yue Tuo, the imperial doctor said that there is no big problem, let Xi'er have a good rest, there is Su Ya to take care of it, let's go out, this is a float in the end."

Yue Tuo took a deep look at Lan Xi'er, and finally nodded, and walked out of the float with the same class. There was a knock on the door, Lan Xi'er turned over gently, and two lines of tears flowed slowly.
