Chapter 107: Embrace
Xiao Xu followed closely beside Chu Junlan, tense and guarded all around.
"Nobody sent us! "Qi's Secret Record"! 'Longevity'! Who doesn't want to get! Who doesn't want to live forever! ”
The middle-aged man who fell to the ground had a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes, and suddenly gritted his teeth.
"Not good!" Xiao Xu hurriedly tried to stop it, but it was too late, black blood was already flowing from the corners of the other party's lips, and his chest was heavy and undulating, like a dilapidated wind box.
Seeing this, the rest of the black-clad masked guards hurriedly went to remove the jaws of the rest of the assassins, but they were one step too slow, and they all bit through the poisonous sacs hidden in their gums!
In addition to the more than ten people who were killed, the rest did not leave a living mouth!
"Master, everyone is dead." Someone replied.
Xiao Xu's face was expressionless, and he ordered his subordinates to clean up the aftermath and take Chu Junlan outside.
Chu Junlan panted and followed behind Xiao Xu, completely safe, the tense nerves relaxed, and the tiredness hit like a mountain and a sea, the limbs were sore, as if it was not hers, and the feet were careless and tripped by the roots of the tree, and suddenly fell forward.
"Ahh
Chu Junlan secretly scolded in her heart, in the end, it was not like the body she had trained since she was a child in her previous life, and now her body couldn't keep up with her thinking at all!
Xiao Xu turned around, stretched out her arms, and took Chu Junlan into her arms, her long soft hair slid over the back of his hand, feeling slightly cool to the touch.
Chu Junlan grabbed Xiao Xu's arm and stood firm, bent down and rubbed the sore instep.
"Hurt?"
"No, it's just tired, don't worry." Chu Junlan smiled.
Xiao Xu's starry eyes quietly reflected her slightly embarrassed face, her face was a little tense, and suddenly her arms stretched out, one hand supported her knees, and the other hand grabbed her slender shoulders, and hugged the person horizontally.
Chu Junlan was dumbfounded, he forgot to struggle for a while, his body was tense like a stone, "What are you doing, I can walk by myself." ”
"When you're tired, you rest." Xiao Xu carried her expressionlessly and walked out of the woods.
Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing looked at Xiao Xu's back, and they all slowed down with their eyes.
Chu Junlan didn't struggle, if there was really such a thing as poisoning, it wasn't that everything would be fine after the detoxification, now she was sore and weak, and there were bursts of night sweats behind her back, and when the wind blew, she was chilled all over.
Although Xiao Xu looks thin, his arm strength is not bad.
Let's give 'Strong' a holiday first.
Chu Junlan thought so.
Xiao Xu felt her head resting on his shoulder, Wen Xiang Nephrite shrank into his arms, and a smile crept up the corners of his lips in a flash.
On the carriage back, Chu Junlan leaned on the pillow and asked lazily, "How did you get here?" ”
"My people replied. Your eldest brother is actually tied up in the house. ”
"Yes, I understand it now. They led me to the cave in order to ask about the "Secret Record of the Qi Family", and they repeatedly mentioned the 'Immortal Fang'. ”
Xiao Xu frowned and nodded, his face solemn.
Chu Junlan glanced at him, covered his mouth and yawned, "There's nothing to worry about, there are pros and cons to everything, and this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for me." But you ......."
“?” Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan with a focused gaze.
Chu Junlan grinned: "You look good in black, I always see you wearing white, or light blue, now that you have changed your clothes, it looks good." ”
Xiao Xu lost his expression for a moment, and his face turned to the direction of the carriage door, where there was a dead wind lamp, which shook as the carriage moved, and Xiao Xu's face was greeted with a faint orange red.
Chu Junlan laughed again when he saw him, turned over with a pillow, and muttered, "Call me when you arrive." And he fell asleep with exhaustion.
She was able to take off her guard and fall asleep beside him, and she could fall asleep with the carriage shaking, which showed that she was extremely tired.
Xiao Xu looked at her for a moment, then gently leaned closer, took her in his arms, and let her pill his lap.
When Chu Junlan woke up, it was already dark.
Zi Yan was lying on the edge of the bed, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she said in surprise: "Third Miss, have you woken up?" ”
"I ...... last night"
"It was the prince who sent you back."
Chu Junlan was stunned: "My eldest brother? ”
"The eldest young master knows everything." Zi Yan was stunned and told Huo Yeqing about the situation when Huo Yeqing rushed in,
"The slave and maid were in a hurry at that time, and they didn't have a brain to speak, and the eldest young master listened to it in the house, so it was difficult for the slave and maid to hide it anymore. Originally, the eldest young master was still suspicious, but later the prince came back with you in person. ”
At that time, they were all frightened, and they thought that something was wrong with Chu Junlan's body, so they were in a hurry, and after making sure that Chu Junlan was okay, Xiao Xu said goodbye, and Chu Huating didn't have the heart to ask any more.
Chu Junlan rubbed his temples and got up to explain to Chu Huating.
The future brother-in-law is not a fool, Chu Huating is not only happy, but also worried.
"Being forced to act like this, it can be seen that the palace is not a place where people can live in peace, Lan Lan, I am afraid that your future days will be very troublesome."
"Don't worry, the last thing I'm afraid of is trouble."
After this incident, the two guards newly recruited by Yuan Kanghu immediately moved into the side courtyard, and the three of them made up their minds to protect the courtyard, so as not to let anyone come to Chu Junlan for trouble, and the idea of "Qi's Secret Record".
Chu Junlan began to recuperate himself, except for treating Chu Huating, Ye Yijian and Xiao Xu, he basically did not leave the hospital.
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Cailiang happily returned to his house and ordered someone to invite Chu Junlan and Chu Huating.
"The eldest young master, the third young lady, the master said, there is a happy event in the family today, and a banquet will be held in the upper room, so that you can both go." The little guy who passed the word was respectful.
Chu Junlan was frowning and checking the medicine for Chu Huating's eyes, and only responded casually when he heard this.
It was Chu Cailiang who said gently: "I know, we'll go in a while." ”
"Hey!" The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl ran away.
Chu Junlan said: "Big brother, how do your eyes feel now?" Is it clearer than what you saw before? ”
"Yes, in the daytime, you can see vague shadows."
"So you still can't see a shadow at night?"
Chu Huating didn't speak.
Chu Junlan gritted his teeth and groaned, "You need to change the medicine next, you can't use the morning dew anymore, you need another medicinal herb." ”
It's just that this kind of medicinal material may not be available in the current Dayong Dynasty.
The blood jade berries, she remembered, were foreign.
Chu Junlan nodded his eyebrows with his fingers, frowning in distress.
Chu Huating smiled soothingly: "My eyes are much better now. It's only going to get better and better in the future, so take your time, it's not rushed. ”
"yes. In a hurry. "She'll have to find a way to find the Blood Jade Berry.
The two changed their clothes and went to the upper courtyard just in time for dinner.
Chu Cailiang was full of spring breeze, and announced with a smile at the family banquet: "Now that I have been seconded to the Ministry of Officials, I think that if I do a good job, I can stay here for a long time." ”
Aunt Wang's face turned red with excitement: "Really! Master, you still have the ability! ”
That's really not what he's capable of.
Chu Cailiang stroked his beard and looked at Chu Junlan with a smile: "Sister Lan, you did a good job." ”
This compliment was brainless, and everyone looked at Chu Junlan strangely, not knowing why.
Chu Cailiang said with a smile: "Early in the morning, you will accompany your father to the palace of Gongding, and I have ordered someone to prepare a generous gift." ”
