Chapter 163: Setting an Example (1st Update)
Xiao Yan raised his eyes, looked at Jun Ran, and was silent for a moment and followed Jun Ran out of the room.
Jun Ran turned his back to him and walked very fast, after making sure that this distance would not make Su Jin, the long sword was suddenly unsheathed, and he beckoned to Xiao Yan, and the move was fierce, and the sword was fatal.
Xiao Yan flashed sideways, acting like a ghost, and every time Jun Ran was about to touch him, he only pulled out and flashed.
Some sweat gradually oozed from Jun Ran's head.
His martial arts were also invincible in the world, and the people he met would basically be defeated if he took ten moves, but today against Xiao Yan, he found that he was a little powerless.
Looking at Xiao Yan's expression again, there was still no wave, he didn't even take a breath, and he obviously didn't use all his strength.
At this level, I'm afraid I can't beat him.
Jun Ran put the sword style away, and sneered, "Xiao Yan, I can't beat you today, it doesn't mean that I won't be able to beat you in the future, I said that if you lose Su Jin, your head will be taken off by me sooner or later." ”
Xiao Yan stood in place, silent and silent.
"You say!" Jun Ran took a step forward, squinted his eyes and said viciously, "Why did you want to marry Yang Liuyue instead?" ”
"It's none of your business." Xiao Yan looked at him quietly, "I don't seem to have any reason to explain all this to my rival. ”
"Yes, you have no reason, and I'm not in the mood to listen," Jun Ran sneered, "I only care about whether Su Jin is happy or not, it's obvious that you will hurt her by doing this." ”
Xiao Yan looked into the distance, "I will explain this matter clearly to Su Jin......
"Is it okay to make it clear?" Jun Ran was angry when he saw him like this, "Su Jin is in trouble, you stand by and watch, and you promise others to get married, when you look at this notice posted all over the city, have you ever thought about Su Jin's mood?" ”
"I've thought about it," Xiao Yan said softly, "but Su Jin's life is far more important than these. ”
"Now that I have too much work around me, if I send someone to find Su Jin or refuse to get married, it will only make people with a heart go along the way and take the opportunity to make trouble, but she is not safe."
Jun Ran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, in such a situation now, Xiao Yan does nothing, which is the best way to protect Su Jin.
Xiao Yan looked at him and remembered something, "Su Jin wants to go to the Guogong Mansion tonight to worship his mother-in-law, will you go?" ”
"I'll go naturally." Jun Ran didn't expect Xiao Yan to suddenly change the subject, but his competitive spirit immediately rose, "I'm free at all times." ”
"That's fine." Xiao Yan nodded, turned around and entered the house, "Then the eyes around the Guogong Mansion will be cleaned up by you tonight, and I will take her to return quickly, trying not to delay too long." ”
Jun Ran froze in place, and suddenly came back to his senses.
What's the situation? If he is free, he has to do logistics work that Su Jin can't see, and he Xiao Yan can accompany Su Jin when he is free?
Feelings, he Xiao Yan treats himself as a servant?
The more Jun Ran thought about it, the more angry he became, and he had the heart to tell Xiao Yan that he wouldn't do it, but when he entered the room and faced Xiao Yan's bottomless eyes, Jun Ran had a hunch that if he really said it, after Su Jin woke up, this bastard would definitely sue as soon as possible.
Grandma a bear! Jun Ran held his head and was depressed for a long time, but in the end it was a painful decision-
For Su Jin, logistics is logistics, this invisible effort is the most touching, isn't it?
A moment in the hour.
Jun was dyed in a black night clothes, and he only had a pair of dark eyes left in him, and he set off one step ahead of them and landed on the wall of the Guogong Mansion.
In the dark, suddenly some voices sounded.
Jun Ran sneered and kicked the tiles off the wall.
"Smack!"
"Oops!" Someone screamed in pain.
"Come on, little mice!" Jun Ran smirked, jumped a few times on the wall, and disappeared into the night, "Come and catch your grandfather!" ”
"Chase!" Dozens of black-clothed men with knives suddenly appeared in the shadows, heading in the direction in which Jun Ran had disappeared.
Two moments of the sub-hour.
Xiao Yan tightened Su Jin's clothes, wrapped her cloak, put on a mask herself, and took her hand and turned out from the corner.
At this moment, the Guogong Mansion was no longer guarded, the dilapidated gate was wide open, and the courtyard was a mess, with blackened wooden pillars and broken porcelain, scattered on the ground.
Su Jin trembled.
As soon as her fingertips warmed, Xiao Yan wrapped her hand tightly, and when she raised her head, she smiled gently, "I'm here." ”
Su Jin blinked and came to Liu Xiaofen's "room" with him.
This is the place where the burning is the worst, and the stone steps under the stage that have been burned are scorched, and Su Jin knelt down silently.
The tiles on the ground shone brightly under the moonlight, reflecting the tears in Su Jin's eyes.
She clasped her little hands and gathered a cluster of fire with a fire fold.
Xiao Yan silently accompanied her.
Su Jin unfolded the paper money she was carrying, picked up one, and let it burn out at her fingertips.
The firelight was shining, and Su Jin seemed to be in the dense leaves of the old sycamore, and suddenly glimpsed the ignorance of spring.
In the days when she got along with Liu Xiaofen, she seemed to hear more scolding than care, and what she was most afraid of was seeing her frowning brows and sharp eyebrows.
She originally thought that Liu Xiaofen was probably just like she said, and she had no feelings for herself, but when she opened the package that Liu Xiaofen gave her, she realized how wrong she was.
In that package was a wedding dress.
The bright red satin is warm to the touch, and it is an excellent material at first glance. The neckline is hung with two delicate pearl buckles, and the stitches are fine, tying the slender neckline.
There were two gladiolias embroidered carefully and chingly on his chest, and Su Jin recognized at a glance that they were the patterns that Liu Xiaofen had been studying and then drawing.
Gladiolus means blessing, longevity, well-being, and beauty. Liu Xiaofen chose to choose, and finally embroidered such flowers for her, did she want to block all the hardships in this life for her?
When her fingertips brushed by, she seemed to be able to see that every night, Liu Xiaofen sat at the table, embroidering the flower stitch by stitch, occasionally rubbing her sour eyes because the light was too dim.
Su Jin's tears fell, she quickly wiped them away, and continued to ignite the paper money in her hand.
Her hand pressed on the ground, and there was a "pop" sound from her palm, Xiao Yan grabbed her hand, and felt a little distressed when she saw the cut in her palm.
Su Jin lowered her head, swept away the dust little by little, and felt out an arm-long box.
Doubts flashed between his eyebrows, and Su Jin opened it gently.
Because the box was made of blue and white porcelain, and it was pressed under the pillar in the flames, the inside was not damaged.
Su Jin then looked at the firelight, which seemed to be a picture scroll.
She took it out, unfolded it, stiffened, and then covered her mouth and began to cry uncontrollably.
The old lady, Liu Xiaofen, and Xiaolan all smiled slightly, delicate and lifelike.
It was that afternoon, and they were ...... together Painted portraits.
Xiao Yan silently circled her and pressed her head to his chest.
Su Jin cried fiercely.
All of a sudden, it was like a dream.
When she didn't understand anything, she was in a hurry.
The night breeze was cold, blowing Su Jin's hair, and she was caught in her tears. She shrank into Xiao Yan's arms, stared at the flame for a long time, and finally knelt down and kowtowed to the flame.
Mother, walk slowly on the road ahead, I have too many things that you haven't said before you died, I want to wait for a long, long time, we meet and talk slowly.
May you be a person who is loved in the palm of your hand in the next life, and you can still see each other and return to the ...... A door.
Xiao Yan stood behind her and spoke softly, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will love her, love her, and guard her for the rest of my life." ”
Although the oath is short, every word carries Xiao Yan's determination.
When Su Jin heard him say this, his heart warmed, and his little hand reached into his palm, interlocking with his ten fingers.
"Xiao Yan, let's go back."
"Okay." Xiao Yan also curled his lips.
Su Jin glanced at the cluster of flames and turned to leave.
Today, at night.
We will make a fire.
In this courtyard.
We will leave, and we will keep the fire alive, for the dead.
They had been gone for a long time, and the flames behind them were still jumping, warming the cold courtyard, as if someone was looking at their backs softly and comfortably.
——
"Rubbish!" Meng Fan glanced coldly at the kneeling guards on the ground, "Lu Jun Lu Jin is missing, and Su Jin and Su Jin are nowhere to be seen!" You said that Su Jin was the first to go out of the city that day, so he couldn't find it in the city, but there was no one outside the city, what did you do to eat? If you mess around, it's not enough to touch your head! ”
The guard broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it, but just knelt on the ground with his head down.
"Anything else?" Meng Fan was a little impatient, "What are you doing here?" Get down there and find someone! ”
"Your Excellency!" The guard hurriedly spoke, "What about that Sisi girl and the dead prisoner?" ”
"What to do?" Meng Fan threw the teacup in his hand and smashed it on the man's head, "Throw it to the mass grave!" Ask me about such a trivial matter! ”
There was a sudden sound behind the screen, and it seemed that someone was coughing in a low voice, this time it was not loud, but it suddenly calmed Meng Fan down.
"You go and wait outside the house." He flicked his sleeves and got up and turned behind the screen.
There was a light incense in the room, and a person stood in front of an ink painting with his back to Meng Fan, as if he was watching carefully, and when he heard Meng Fan come in, he said leisurely, "You are too impatient." ”
"The subordinates know that they are wrong, but the current situation is indeed unexpected." Meng Fan took a breath and bowed his head respectfully, "It turned out that his subordinates thought that Su Jin would inevitably run outside the city and set up a net of heaven and earth, but he found nothing, and Xiao Yan, his subordinates thought that he would definitely raise troops, and he would go to help Su Jin secretly, but he put aside all relationships, and even promised to marry Yang Liuyue, which made his subordinates very confused for a while." ”
"Xiao Yan's move is indeed beyond my expectations," the man smiled, "However, since he has nowhere to start, Xiao Nanhao can still miss Su Jin, and use the handle you hold in your hand to force Su Jin out, and you can also provoke a fight between them." ”
"Handle?" Meng Fan was stunned, "Please make it clear to the master." ”
"The one called Xiaolan," the man sat down and took a sip of tea, "Although the person is dead, she is of great significance to Su Jin, starting from her, but anyone with some feelings will not sit idly by, why worry about her not coming out?" ”
Meng Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed down and retreated, "My subordinates understand." ”
He turned out the door and said to the guards waiting in the courtyard, "Sisi's body is disposed of casually, and the sinner of the Guogong Mansion is heinous and unrepentant, so he hangs her on the city tower......"
Meng Fan smiled, his eyes vicious, "Set an example." ”
