"No, your suggestion is very good, it's just that you don't know much about your father's mind as an official, in fact, the ideas are all right ideas, but my identity is different, and some can't do it."

Li Chengze sighed, full of talent and ambition, but he was restrained everywhere, and he couldn't do anything, even if it was a good thing.

"It's hard for you, as long as you are steady and don't make mistakes."

Hui Lan could vaguely feel that the emperor's imperial star power was constantly declining, but unfortunately she didn't know how to measure the heavenly chances, but as a monk, she would feel it, but it was not accurate enough, and she couldn't be sure that there were still a few years of luck.

"It doesn't matter, I can afford to wait."

"It's hard to come out to play, Zelang, it's your birthday tomorrow, I'll borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow this painting boat, and dance for you."

Hui Lan remembers his birthday.

"Yes, Ming'er is my birthday, I forgot about it."

Li Chengze patted his head, laughed, and forgot about it when he was busy.

"Those officials sent a lot of gifts in advance, didn't you see?"

Hui Lan also laughed.

"How can I have the time to worry about these idle things, I am bent on doing a good job of the salt tax to impress my father, and I have long forgotten about it."

Li Chengze shook his head, it doesn't matter if he can't celebrate his birthday, it's all for others to see, it's not interesting.

"Playing music, Zelang, I'll show you this dance, I wish you all the best of luck, peace and health, and all the best!"

Hui Lan got up and flicked her sleeves, and the musician began to play.

She danced, her posture was graceful and clear, as ethereal as a fairy, and she danced with dreamy beauty.

The women of the Ding family are extremely talented, if they don't pass the cultivation test, they will marry, contribute to the family, and give birth to offspring to marry major families, so they are strictly educated in all aspects of appearance and ability, and they have been prepared to cultivate with both hands since childhood.

This dance is ethereal, and the beautiful fairy posture makes people feel like falling into a dream, Li Chengze looked at her dancing figure obsessively, and his eyes were full of obsession and deep love.

At the end of the song, Hui Lan ran over and hugged him, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"It's beautiful, this gift is very close to my heart. I haven't seen you skip before. ”

Li Chengze hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Dancing will be regarded as frivolous, it's not good for people to grab the handle, isn't the environment just right today, no one sees it on the painting boat, it's just your birthday, I don't have any gifts to give you, it's better to dance for you and make you happy."

Hui Lan blushed in embarrassment, but in fact, she didn't dance much.

"Lan'er, you dance beautifully."

Li Chengze hugged her and sat in his arms, leaving a small and dense kiss, the physical atmosphere became gentle and charming, Yue'er climbed up to the treetops, and blushed when she saw them so affectionate.

There are only two husband and wife in the painting boat, listening to music, drinking and playing games, Li Chengze rarely has such a relaxed and playful play, but he is extremely happy, and frequently makes hearty laughter.

The two of them played a very childish game of guessing boxing, each with wins and losses, and the loser drank, and before she knew it, Huilan drank too much, her cheeks were red, and she was especially charming and moving.

Li Chengze held her face, his eyes were deep, "Lan'er, you are so beautiful." ”

"Hee-hee! Lang Jun, you are also beautiful. ”

Kiss him, Huilan looked up and giggled.

"What a silly girl."

Da Heng picked her up and went to the inner room to rest, and he also lay down, I haven't been so relaxed for a few days, and I'm really happy today.

The two of them just stared at Hui Lan keenly when they heard movement underwater, and immediately sat up, getting up a little violently, and they were a little dizzy after drinking.

I heard someone outside shouting, "Who is it?" ”

"Not good, there are assassins, hurry up."

Huilan reacted and pushed Li Chengze hard.

He opened his eyes and drank a little softly, "What's the matter?" ”

"There seems to be an assassin, hurry up."

Hui Lan quickly put on her robe and shoes, forcibly pulled him up, put on her boots, and put on her outer robe.

Li Chengze was still confused, "It's okay, don't be nervous about having guards, they are all good hands." ”

"No, you can't get up, you can't rely on them."

When he said this, he also loaded the arm crossbow for him, and quickly loaded the arm crossbow himself just in case.

After delaying this effort, there was already the sound of the blade Jin Ge outside, and the sound was not single, but there were several people.

Li Chengze also heard it, couldn't help but stand up, the wine also woke up, pulled Huilan down behind him to protect him, pushed open the door and looked outside, and saw seven or eight people coming up from underwater, dressed in black night clothes, soaked all over, and dripping with water, indicating that they were indeed lurking under the water just waiting for a sneak attack after dark.

"Will you be able to drain water?"

"Yes, you."

"If the situation is not right, you will jump into the river, I see that they are well-armed and act in an orderly manner, which is not something that ordinary officials can afford, you protect yourself first, don't worry about me, I am also the prince's Praetorian Guard, and I will never dare to leave me alone."

Hui Lan immediately woke up, "You don't know how to drink water." ”

Li Chengze nodded helplessly.

Huilan sighed and took out a bead from the space and handed it to him, "Take it, just hold it in your mouth, this is a water-repellent bead, I will drink water." ”

"Okay."

Li Chengze hesitated, he didn't know how to be a drag on the water, it was better to hold it, so as not to affect Huilan.

"Let's help, be careful."

Huilan didn't want to sit still, so she simply went out and killed the man in black together.

When the two went out, they found that the man in black was very brave, and he was not at the same level as the man in black before.

These black-clothed men are killing moves, they are not afraid of death, and their non-stop posture is much more powerful than the last killer.

Huilan drew her knife and rushed forward bravely, Li Chengze was stunned for a moment and immediately followed closely, for fear that she would be injured.

With the addition of the two, the man in black seemed to be even more excited, and began to adjust the battle plan, some of them resisted the Praetorian Guards, and some of them went all out to kill Li Chengze.

"Kill the prince, there will be a reward!"

A man in black calmly ordered.

Huilan has always been with Li Chengze, back to back, the two cooperate with each other to kill the man in black, they and the man in black are in an anxious situation, and it is not easy to take down each other for a while.

The men in black also suffered a lot of casualties, but among these people, there were real masters, fighting the Praetorian Guards, and one of them was inseparable from Li Tong.

Huilan's knife skills are still remarkable, and she carried two black-clothed people by herself, and she kept desperately walking behind Li Chengze's side to protect him from harm.

"Protect the prince, reward him heavily, and those who retreat will raid their homes and exterminate their clans."

Huilan shouted loudly, which was also to encourage them, and to remind them that if you dare to retreat, you will not be able to live if you go back.

The Praetorian Guard was extremely calm, no one retreated, and no one showed a panicked expression, and they kept steadily suppressing the man in black.

Hui Lan saw that there were still six people in black left, all of them were good hands, and they had to sacrifice ice needles, which they didn't want to use originally, and they were worried that they would leak too much and cause trouble, but now they can't take care of it.
