Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bai Lanzhi
"Why do you need to be so polite between you and me?" Bai Jingzhi smiled lightly, the breeze blew, the sleeves of his white dress rose with the wind, and the breezy and arrogant posture made people a little unable to take their eyes off.
At this time, Mo Hongqian had already ordered someone to put the piano in place, and said: "Come on, last time you played in the ensemble, the people who played the music were not happy, and the people who listened to the music were not happy, so let's continue today." β
Bai Jingzhi and Nan Lingye glanced at each other, and Bai Jingzhi smiled, "Your Highness, please." β
The two played together in the mountains and rivers, and the sound of the piano like mountains and rivers sounded, and they were drunk.
"Ah Ran, I really didn't expect that the dignified King of Northern Chu Lie would also become your finger wrapper. Mo Hongqian suddenly quipped.
The movements in An Ran's hands paused slightly, and then smiled lightly, looking at Nan Lingye's eyes full of tenderness, as if there was a sense, Nan Lingye's blue eyes were also looking at her at this time, looking at each other, envious of others. Only a touch of sadness flashed in the depths of Bai Jingzhi's eyes.
After the song was played, Bai Jingzhi and Nan Lingye continued to play the next song with a tacit understanding.
"Ah Ran, An Qing has gone back to Huayin, but he has been in Fengdu for so many years, and he has more or less his background and connections, you have to be cautious about everything. Mo Hongqian reminded An Ran. His eyebrows were a little deep, and he thought about something, but he stopped talking.
"Hongqian might as well say it directly. Seeing Mo Hongqian's concerns, An Ran looked a little light and didn't care.
Mo Hongqian looked at An Ran, then at Bai Jingzhi who was playing, and only said: "You just need to remember that everything is careful." β
Knowing that Mo Hongqian didn't want to say more, An Ran didn't continue to ask. Bowing slightly, "I will." β
The two continued to taste the wine and listen to the beautiful music in the mountains and rivers.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the strings played by Bai Jingzhi and Nan Lingye were broken twice, and two blood marks popped out of their wrists from the suddenly broken strings.
This is not a string that breaks naturally, but it is cut by a human leaf mixed with a strong internal force!
Bai Jingzhi and Nan Lingye stood up, and Nan Lingye came to An Ran's side for the first time, fearing that An Ran would be plotted and injured. Bai Jingzhi also walked over, and the four of them stood in the pavilion, their eyes full of vigilance.
"Are you alright?" An Ran asked.
Nan Lingye and Bai Jingzhi shook their heads, indicating that it was okay.
"What's going on?" An Ran frowned, she had a bad premonition, as if something was going to happen.
"It's really what you say. Mo Hongqian said.
Hearing Mo Hongqian's words, An Ran seemed to know something, could it be related to An Qing's matter?
"Jingzhi, do you think it's him?" Mo Hongqian asked as he looked at Bai Jingzhi on the side.
Bai Jingzhi didn't answer immediately, but from his expression, it seemed that he knew who did this.
"It's him!" Bai Jingzhi's faint voice sounded, and these words attracted everyone's attention.
"Jingzhi, who the hell is it?" An Ran was anxious to know.
Bai Jingzhi turned his eyes slightly to look at her, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, and he was silent for a moment before finally saying: "Bai Family Twelve, Bai Lanzhi." β
Hearing this, An Ran raised her eyebrows, she had also heard of this character. Bai Lanzhi, more people are called Bai Twelve. He was born to the head of the Bai family and the woman outside the wind and dust overnight, I heard that Bai Lanzhi's mother in order to be able to live in the Bai family, hidden from the Bai family and left Bai Lanzhi, I thought I could fly on the branches, but the head of the Bai family did not recognize this illegitimate son, and drove his mother and son out of Fengdu, many people in the Bai family saw this, and actually united to persecute their mother and son, Bai Lanzhi's mother sent Bai Lanzhi to the Tang Gate in order to take revenge on the Bai family, so that he became a master of poison with hatred, and said in vain that when Bai Lanzhi was eighteen years old, he would come back for revengeγ Counting up, Bai Lanzhi is about to turn eighteen. From this point of view, Bai Lanzhi is back for revenge.
However, what does the Bai family he want to take revenge have to do with them? Or maybe this is for Bai Jing.
"Jingzhi, is he here for you?" An Ran asked uncertainly.
"Not necessarily!" Mo Hongqian suddenly responded, looked at An Ran, and continued: "I think he is coming for you." β
Hearing this, An Ran raised her eyebrows, in her memory, she and Bai Lanzhi didn't have a holiday at all, let alone a holiday, she hadn't even seen him.
Bai Jingzhi bowed her head and agreed with what Mo Hongqian said, but An Ran still didn't understand, she looked at Nan Lingye, and the two still didn't understand the meaning of Bai Jingzhi and Mo Hongqian's words.
"It is rumored that An Qing is the life-saving benefactor of Bai Lan's mother and son!"
As soon as the words came out, An Ran and Nan Lingye both had surprised expressions. An Qing and Bai Lanzhi, how could they be together? In that case, Bai Lanzhi's return this time was not aimed at the Bai family, but at her and Nan Lingye, to be precise, he was avenging An Qing.
The party in Wangfeng Pavilion ended early, and everyone went back first. Bai Jingzhi and Mo Hongqian told An Ran to be careful of Bai Lanzhi, now that he is in the dark, and he is good at using poison, even if Nan Lingye is by An Ran's side, he can't be guarded against.
An Ran didn't seem to be too worried, she was at ease about An Qing's affairs, all of this was An Qing's own doing. The Huayin clan persecuted her so much, she was just treating her as a rule.
Back in Qinhuang Courtyard, An Ran and Nan Lingye sat on the pavilion in the courtyard, An Ran medicated the blood stains on Nan Lingye's wrist, just after taking the medicine, Nan Lingye's deep blue eyes stared at An Ran, An Ran met his eyes, raised his eyebrows and signaled to Nan Lingye, and said, "Ye Lang can say whatever he wants." β
"For the past few days, you stay in the house and try not to go out. Nan Lingye said, although he had never seen Bai Lanzhi, but looking at Bai Jingzhi and Mo Hongqian's expressions, he also knew that this was a difficult character to deal with, he had never been afraid of anything, and just one Bai Lanzhi was not enough to make him afraid. But now that An Ran's safety is at stake, he has to be cautious.
"Ye Lang is worried that Bai Lanzhi will attack Ah Ran?" An Ran smiled lightly.
Nan Lingye didn't speak, and acquiesced.
An Ran understood what he meant, but she had her thoughts, and the fine white Rouyi stroked Nan Ling Ye's big hand, and said softly: "But Ye Lang has not thought about it, if Bai Lanzhi's goal is me, then even if I stay at home and stay in Qifeng Tower every day, is it foolproof?"
An Ran's words, Nan Lingye understood, his eyes shone slightly, and finally he only said one sentence: "This king will protect you thoroughly." β
Hearing Nan Lingye's words, An Ran was very moved, he has always been like this, he can always move her with a word, she smiled back and replied: "Ah Ran believes in Ye Lang." β
In the next few days, the days passed peacefully, since that day after the Wangfeng Pavilion, Bai Lanzhi seemed to have disappeared, without any wind and grass, as if this person had never appeared in Fengdu City again.
An Qing left Fengdu yesterday and went back to Huayin with Leng Qiuran, An Qing went to Laiyin Pavilion yesterday, saying goodbye, but I heard that his father and mother didn't see him, An Qing still knelt down in the outer courtyard, kowtowed, and then left with Leng Qiuran.
No one was alarmed, and no one went to see them off. No matter what time it is, people are very realistic, and once they lose their power, they are nothing. It is an immutable law that people are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold.
Everything is calm, but the calmer it is, the more unsettling it becomes. Before a storm, it is often the calmest.
In the past few days, An Ran has relied on Nan Lingye, and has not left the house, except for greeting Ann from the Laiyin Pavilion every day, the rest of the time, she stays in the Qinhuang Courtyard to study and chess skills. Because she wants to worship Chu Kang as a teacher, then her chess skills must not be bad, otherwise, I am afraid that she will not even be able to see Chu Kang in person, let alone apprentice.
At this time, An Ran was dressed in white and sat alone on the pavilion in the outer courtyard of Qinhuang Courtyard, as if he was pondering something.
"Miss, it's cold outside, let's go in. Xing'er held the cloak and cloak in her hand and put it on for An Ran.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and An Ran was still on the pavilion in the outer courtyard, and Xing'er couldn't help but persuade.
"Xing'er, go get ready, after lunch, let's go out for a while. An Ran suddenly commanded. The third day of the next month is Lin Yin's birthday, and she has a gift for Lin Yin.
"But His Royal Highness King Lie instructed that the eldest lady should try not to go out during this time. Thinking of Nan Lingye's explanation, Xing'er said timidly.
Hearing this, An Ran lazily raised her eyes to look at Xing'er, hooked her lips, and asked rhetorically, "When did you become Ye Lang's personal maid?" I don't remember that I transferred you to serve him. β
During Nan Lingye's time in Qinhuang Courtyard, the subordinates in the courtyard pretended to regard him as their master, and even Xing'er was obedient to Nan Lingye.
"This ...... The slave ......" Xing'er was stunned, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Slanting at Xing'er, An Ran smiled and said, "Prepare according to my instructions, but don't forget, your master is me." β
Xing'er was in a dilemma, she didn't dare to disobey the eldest lady's orders, but she didn't dare to disobey the orders of the King of Lie. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Nan Lingye's sharp and cold blue eyes, and Xing'er couldn't help but shudder.
"What's the matter? You want to go to Ming Yelang first, right?" An Ran asked with an eyebrow raised.
"His Royal Highness the Lie King is also for the sake of your safety, Miss, it's better to talk to him. Xing'er said truthfully.
"Okay, don't open your mouth to a martyr king, shut up a highness. You can get ready, and if Ye Lang reproaches you, just say it's my order. β
An Ran asked Xing'er to prepare, and couldn't help but smile, Nan Lingye does have that ability, he is born domineering, and he has that extraordinary temperament that makes people return to their hearts.
At lunchtime, Nan Lingye hadn't come back yet, presumably he wouldn't come back for lunch, these days, he was very busy, An Ran didn't ask him, she knew that he must have gone to investigate Bai Lanzhi's matter.
After lunch, without waiting for Nan Lingye to come back, An Ran simply freshened up and changed clothes, and then went out with Xing'er.
