Xiao Se (9)
Before Lan Wujiang stepped into the Lan Mansion, the ranking of the national competition flew into the Lan Mansion like wings.
"The first is the king of the Northern Qing Dynasty, the second is the third prince, and the third is the fourth young master." Chuan stood beside Ranhe, unhurriedly reporting the ranking of the national competition.
Among the first three, there is no name of Lan Wujiang.
"Lan Wujiang." Ranhe waved his hand, only for her to get to the point quickly.
"Miss Lan is the fourth." Gui replied cautiously.
The next moment, Ranhe's crutches slammed into the ground, nearly crushing a hole out of the ground.
Fourth? How could Elan's boundless ability be only a fourth.
"Go, call Lan Wujiang and I." Ranhe took a deep breath and tried his best to make his tone sound less angry.
As Chuan Wan left, Ranhe closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Since the day he entered the Lan Mansion, Lan Wujiang's scales have never been broken.
Now that time has passed, she thought that something would change, but she didn't think about it, and the reverse scales grew harder.
She can treat such things as child's play.
Is she too indulgent Lan Wujiang?
Lan Wujiang entered the mansion, and before he had walked a few steps, he was stopped by Chuan Yan who rushed over: "Miss, please go to Mingyao Hall to talk about it."
"Grandpa?" Lan Wujiang frowned slightly, and without thinking too much, he could guess why he called her like this.
It's just that she has a clear conscience and is naturally not afraid.
With Chuan Yan's steps, Lan Wujiang entered the Mingyao Hall.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Before he could react, Lan He's words came straight towards Lan Wujiang.
Lan Wujiang still saluted patiently, then straightened his waist and asked, "What's wrong with Wujiang?"
If she relented and admitted her mistake, Xu Lanhe would not be angry.
just got a fourth, and he was so arrogant, he couldn't help but scold Lan He angrily: "So far, you have asked instead!"
Ranhe was furious, and his voice raised a lot.
It's just that Lan Wujiang was still unmoved, and replied as usual: "It's not that I asked, it's that I really don't know, what does grandpa mean by this."
"Don't know? Well, today I want you to know! Lan He laughed angrily, looking at Lan Wujiang's eyes full of anger: "Above the national comparison, why do you want to escape!"
"It's not an escape. It was I who voluntarily withdrew. Lan Wujiang replied with his eyes, rightly arrogant.
"Whether you run away or retire, you failed to complete the national competition and only finished fourth, this is the result!" Ranhe's hand was holding on to his crutches, and the back of his hand was green and tendoned: "Not only that, but he also retired with his sisters!"
"They did it voluntarily, not at my instigation. If the grandfather doesn't believe it, you can ask the truth. Lan Wujiang's voice was cold, and the words were sonorous, not half afraid.
Whenever she says a word, Lan Wujiang will reply with a thousand eight hundred sentences.
Ranhe, who was already angry, was even more furious when he saw this.
She clenched her crutches as if to crush the handrail: "Okay, good volunteer." For the sake of the martial arts boy, you are willing to give the first hand to others, it is really a high wind and bright festival! ”
"So grandpa knows?" Lan Wujiang raised his eyebrows, and there was an extra layer of meaning in his eyes when he looked at Lan He.
In Ranhe's view, it is no different from ridicule.
"What do you mean by that?" Lan He twisted his eyebrows, and his eyes sank a little when he looked at Lan Wujiang.
"Since grandpa knows, it's easy to say." The corners of Lan Wujiang's mouth hooked up with a smile, "The young master of the martial arts family was injured because of me, and his life is at stake." What was wrong with me making the choice to save him? ”
Such a calm and light-hearted attitude angered Ranhe even more: "But the choice you made is to give up the national competition!"
"So what? If you don't talk about any human affection, can you still be called a human being? Lan Wujiang lowered his hands, not wanting to argue with Lan He about right or wrong, but only asked indifferently.
"Huh." Lan He sneered, and his tone was even more aggressive: "If you lose the face of the Lan family, you can still say such high-sounding words!"
The more angry Lan He became, the more undisturbed Lan Wujiang's heart became.
"I see, I see."
At this moment, Lan Wujiang was surprisingly indifferent, which made Lan He feel a little puzzled.
"Understand what?"
"Understand what the hell this is."
"Treating human life as a mustard, a fresh life is no match for the so-called face. Since the first day I stepped here, until today, I have seen such a warm and cold human relationship. ”
Lan Wujiang's words were no longer able to tell whether they were more offensive or more disobedient.
Lan He's hands were bruised, and he was about to cry out angrily: "Presumptuous!"
"Since I said it, I don't intend to take it back. Again, having done such a thing, I will not regret it. If Grandpa wants me to repent, then forget it. ”
Lan Mansion, Qinghuan Building.
"Miss." Liu Qing stood with his hands down, still with a cold complexion, without too much expression.
Lan Wujiang reclined on the couch and tilted his head when he heard the sound, waiting for her next words.
"Princess Bingquan sent someone to invite the young lady to the Jiangnan Pavilion."
Her heart moved, but she didn't show any doubts, and only bowed her head: "You go and reply, and after I change my clothes, I will go, so that Princess Bingquan can be restless for a while." ”
For her, it is better to ask face-to-face questions lightly than to talk too much now.
Gangnam Pavilion.
Li Bingquan sat with his cheeks propped up, his royal blue wide sleeves falling loosely down his arms, revealing half of his lotus arms. The other free hand was on the table, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table, and his eyes drifted boredly.
With a creaking sound in the stairwell, her eyes were fixed on the wooden door.
The next moment, the door opened.
"I've seen Princess Ice Spring." Lan Wujiang bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, "There are some things that have been delayed, making the princess wait for a long time." ”
"No problem." Li Bingquan was not polite, only pointed to the seat opposite, and made a gesture of invitation.
Lan Wujiang didn't care, so he took two steps forward and sat down in his skirt.
Although there was no communication, Li Bingquan still involuntarily straightened up when he looked at Lan Wujiang.
"I wonder why Princess Bingquan invited me here?" Lan Wujiang went straight in.
Su knew Lan's boundless temperament, and Li Bingquan didn't know what her attitude was.
She raised her hand and pushed the wine glass in front of her towards Lan Wujiang, moving unhurriedly: "Let's have a drink first." ”
"The princess will answer my question after drinking?" Lan Wujiang raised his eyebrows, still staring at Li Bingquan's eyes.
Li Bingquan didn't respond, only folded his sleeves and drank a cup first.
Seeing that Lan Wujiang didn't move, Li Bingquan squeezed out a laugh from between his lips and teeth: "Miss Lan doesn't even give this thin face to this princess?" "Odd book e-book
Lan Wujiang saw her staring at the glass of wine, and naturally understood, but she still didn't move.
"The wine in Jiangnan Pavilion is one of the best in Southern Zhou." Li Bingquan picked up the wine jug and poured another glass, "This is a thousand-year-old snow that has just been on his family, and this princess is bored drinking alone, so she thinks of you." ”
At this point, Li Bingquan paused, half raising his starry eyes.
"You're not interested?"
Although she said this, Lan Wujiang knew that Li Bingquan was not a drunkard.
It's just that if she doesn't drink this wine today, she won't say anything when she thinks about it.
At this moment, Lan Wujiang could have gotten up and left, but for all these reasons, she still didn't move.
"Since the princess sincerely invited, of course I should accompany you." She picked up her glass and smiled, "This cup is for the princess." ”
A glass of wine rolled down his throat, and the spicy sensation irritated Lan Wujiang's throat.
"Refreshing." Seeing Lan Wujiang like this, Li Bingquan smiled and poured her a cup again.
After drinking the first cup, Lan Wujiang knew that he couldn't shirk it. In addition, the princess poured the wine herself, and she couldn't help it.
After three rounds of wine, Li Bingquan was satisfied.
"It's really a pleasure to drink with someone like Miss Lan." Li Bingquan put down the wine glass and put his hand on the carved armrest.
Lan Wujiang was indifferent to her compliment, and only bowed her head and said, "The princess is a happy person. Now you should explain what you called me here, right? ”
As far as Lan Wujiang is concerned, Li Bingquan is still unknown.
Although there is no fear, it is not to the point of taking off all your defenses.
"Miss Lan doesn't have to be like this." Li Bingquan chuckled, "I made it clear before, I just asked Miss Lan to drink and gossip." ”
"The wine is gone, and now it's time for 'gossip'?" Lan Wujiang turned the empty wine glass in his hand, and the cold touch of the jade reached his fingertips.
Originally, Lan Wujiang was asked to come, and Li Bingquan already had a certain number in his heart. But this kind of persistence still surprised her.
"Yes." At this point, Li Bingquan responded generously.
Lan Wujiang sighed slightly, he was still a little unclear about Li Bingquan's twist.
"Then the princess might as well speak up." She bowed her head and waited for Li Bingquan's next words.
"Wu Gongzi's matter, this princess has heard about it, and she can't help but worry." Li Bingquan's fingertips fell on the armrest in turn, and the sound of the armor knocking out seemed to highlight her thoughts.
Hearing that she suddenly mentioned Wu Changli, Lan Wujiang's body was stunned, and his heart was a little pantothenic.
"So?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Bingquan, and her tone was slightly impatient.
Sensing Lan Wujiang's subtle changes, Li Bingquan chuckled: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask about his situation." ”
"Still recuperating." Lan Wujiang responded lightly, "The princess should ask the martial arts family about such a thing, why did she come to ask me?" ”
"Because you are on good terms. What's more......" Li Bingquan paused, revealing a shrewd smile: "This matter Princess Ben can only come to you." ”
"What do you mean?" Lan Wujiang's eyes stared directly at Li Bingquan, but he couldn't see through her thoughts.
Although she could sense that Li Bingquan was not a bad person, she still couldn't judge everything.
"Wu Gongzi was injured this time, Miss Lan thinks it's very unpleasant, right?" Ignoring the vigilance in Xia Lan Wujiang's eyes, she then asked in a concerned tone.
However, these words are boundless to Lan, but they are tantamount to stabbing another knife.
Since the day she got acquainted, Wu Changli has contributed to her, and she is grateful in her heart.
Now that this incident has happened, the previous gratitude has turned into infinite guilt like an overturned five-flavor bottle.
"The injury on Wu Gongzi's body is caused by me, I am not a heartless person, so it is naturally uncomfortable." Lan Wujiang's emotions fluctuated, causing some displeasure in his words.
Li Bingquan did not react to her attitude, and still held his previous indifferent attitude.
As far as she is concerned, as long as she knows Lan Wujiang's attitude, as for the side, Li Bingquan doesn't care about it.
"That's it. So for the initiator, I don't know how Miss Lan feels? She leaned over slightly, a few closer to Lan Wujiang.
Lan Wujiang raised his eyes to look at Li Bingquan, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there was a little doubt in his eyes.
The other party is the third prince of the dynasty, and she is the royal prince of Li Bingquan, how should she say this?
"You don't have to be scrupulous. Since I invite you to this Jiangnan Pavilion, it is completely safe here. Li Bingquan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a smile on his lips.
For some reason, Lan Wujiang sensed a hint of danger from it, but it was not for her.
After thinking for a moment, Lan Wujiang still cleared his throat, and the words came out clearly: "Naturally, I can't let go." ”
After receiving her reply, Li Bingquan smiled even more.
"It's worthy of Miss Lan, I really haven't seen the wrong person." She clapped her hands, her tone overflowing with praise.
Lan Wujiang raised his hand to suppress her movements, and asked again, "What does the princess mean by this?" ”
She already had unformed speculations in her mind, but they still needed to be confirmed.
"Since that's what you're thinking, then Princess Ben doesn't mind helping you." Li Bingquan took the opportunity to get up and took Lan Wujiang's hand, with a bit of bewilderment in his eyes.
Lan Wujiang's heart moved, waiting for her next.
Seeing a few flashes of light in Lan Wujiang's eyes, Li Bingquan knew her intentions, and then the concubine's lips were slightly curved, and she felt a little proud in her heart.
"It's not so much that I help you, but that you and I benefit from each other." Li Bingquan sat down at Lan Wujiang's side, "After all, at this moment, you and I have a common enemy, don't we?" ”
"The Third Prince?" A trace of doubt flashed in Lan Wujiang's eyes.
But what happened to them was only a momentary curiosity.
Zuo was just a royal battle, and Lan Wujiang didn't have that much leisure to pay attention to.
What she cares more about is the "plan" in Li Bingquan's mouth.
"Exactly."
At the same time as Li Bingquan spoke, Lan Wujiang sensed her scorching temperature from the palm of his hand.
"To tell you the truth, his covetion of the throne is not a one-day thing. can inherit the unification, how can he be qualified? The royal brother should be the destination of this country. Li Bingquan's eyes lit up with a spark, "It's just that if you want the imperial brother to ascend to the throne, you have to get rid of him first." ”
Lan Wujiang nodded knowingly, she could guess a little bit before Li Bingquan spoke.
She asked concernedly, "Then why did the princess choose me?" ”
"Because he hurt Wu Gongzi, and I know your attitude. If you are guilty, you should avenge him. ”
Lan Wujiang's eyes loosened a little.
Seeing this, Li Bingquan knew her intentions, and then struck while the iron was hot: "Even if it is not for Wu Gongzi, it is an indisputable fact that he threatens you." Could it be that Miss Lan is willing to keep such a person? ”
Lan Wujiang's temperament, she knows a little bit.
Although she is not a person who will be moved by others in a few words, these words are said when they are said.
After all, they coincide in the general direction, which has already given Li Bingquan a chance.
