Chapter 255: Cold War
"Gone!" Shen Xixu roared angrily, and then walked into the carriage by himself.
Seeing the two of them unpleasantly early in the morning, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and looked back at Luo Mingrang in confusion before following Shen Xixu.
Gu Huanli, as Luo Mingrang's good brother for many years, has always understood his temperament, although he treats people indifferently, he has never been so uncertain to keep acquaintances away.
"You, you provoked her today, so let's do it for yourself." Gu Huanli patted Luo Mingrang's shoulder, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to walk away.
In this way, the three of them were all sitting in the carriage, and only Luo Mingrang rode the horse with him, and there was no communication with everyone along the way.
But the people sitting in the carriage didn't feel much better, Shen Xixu had been angry since he came in, and there was a frightening smell in the whole carriage.
Lu Xuan didn't say anything, even Gu Huanli felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help it before he glanced at her.
Comprehending Gu Huanli's intentions, Lu Xuan sat down beside Shen Xixu stubbornly.
"Ah Xu, you dissipate your anger, Lord Luo, he has always been like this, you don't know it, he is not targeting you." Lu Xuan cautiously comforted Shen Xixu.
She suddenly exploded with emotion - "He's not targeting me?" Didn't you see the way he ignored me? Did I do something wrong and provoke him again? I am the county lord of Pingchuan, why should I please him in every possible way! ”
Xu is anger was too strong, and Shen Xixu's angry voice suddenly spread outside the carriage, and when he saw Luo Mingrang's ears, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart for a moment.
Seeing Shen Xixu's appearance, Lu Xuan hurriedly comforted: "Ah Xu, you really don't have to take it to heart, maybe Lord Luo has something to worry about?" Don't you see he's still too late today? ”
Shen Xixu didn't listen: "Ah Xuan, you don't have to speak for him reluctantly, this is a matter between me and him, if he doesn't care, others have nothing to say." ”
When Shen Xixu said this, Lu Xuan really didn't know how to continue, and glanced at Gu Huanli, seeing that he also looked like he couldn't do anything about her, Lu Xuan had no choice but to give up and sit back obediently.
This time, Gu Huanli was privately sent by Emperor Liang Qin to investigate and deal with Li Yuan, who may have colluded with foreign enemies on the border.
This Li Yuan was originally a general of Zhenyuan personally appointed by the first emperor, and later Gu Huanli returned to the dynasty and led the elite soldiers to kill the Quartet, and the surrounding countries succumbed to his ability, and they did not dare to commit it all these years.
Perhaps because of this, Li Yuan, who had been making great achievements in war, gradually became a nominal general, and his impression in the hearts of Emperor Liang Qin and the people of the two countries was gradually erased by time, and it was undoubtedly replaced by Gu Huanli, who made Liang Guo Antai.
Although Li Yuan is not as brave and good at fighting as he was back then, he still has some subordinates who are loyal to him after all.
A few days ago, Gu Huanli received news that there was a Chiyan country on the border that was about to move, and this country was in a situation that had been guarded by Li Yuan.
After Gu Huanli learned of this, he decided to investigate it himself, and did not report it to Emperor Liang Qin, but such a move was sued by people with ulterior motives in front of the saint, claiming that Gu Huanli had evil intentions.
Emperor Liang Qin was suspicious, so he specially sent Luo Mingrang to go, ostensibly to help Gu Huanli, but in fact, he knew better than anyone what Luo Mingrang was doing for this trip.
But fortunately, Luo Mingrang is also his own person, he is strong in martial arts and thoughtful, and he is indeed a powerful helper with him along the way, of course, to get rid of the current situation between him and Shen Xixu.
It is precisely because this investigation is extremely secretive that Gu Huanli did not bring anyone, even Lin Wei, who has always been inseparable from him, did not accompany him, as for Lu Xuan, he had other plans.
"It's a long way to go, if it's late today, we might as well rest for the night nearby, and then hurry tomorrow morning." Luo Mingrang's voice came from outside the carriage.
Gu Huanli nodded immediately when he heard this: "Then it will be according to what you say." ”
After that, Gu Huanli immediately got out of the carriage, and Lu Xuan followed closely behind, only Shen Xixu disappeared for a long time, as if he was still angry about the events of the day.
Seeing this, Gu Huanli hurriedly wanted to go back and pull Shen Xixu out, but he didn't think that he was dragged by Lu Xuan first, but he saw Lu Xuan winking at him and shaking his head, probably blocking him.
Seeing Lu Xuan's appearance, Gu Huanli immediately understood her plan, and then looked at Luo Mingrang, who had been silent all day: "Are you really not going to coax?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Xixu in the carriage immediately pricked up his ears, and his heart was full of expectation: Luo Mingrang, if you come over to compensate me now, I will forgive you again.
Shen Xixu secretly left a way back for Luo Mingrang in his heart, but he didn't appreciate it at all, and no one heard him think about it, so he replied to Gu Huan: "If His Royal Highness the county lord is willing to rest in the carriage, it doesn't matter." ”
After saying that, Luo Mingrang immediately turned around and went to collect firewood and light the fire.
Shen Xixu was so angry when he heard this, he rushed out of the carriage in an instant, but he just glared at Luo Mingrang's back viciously, and didn't say a word to her.
"What the hell is going on with these two people today?" Gu Huanli looked left and right, puzzled, he watched Shen Xixu grow up, although she had a little young lady's temper, she had never been angry with the same person for so long.
In Gu Huanli's opinion, Luo Mingrang just didn't take Shen Xixu in his eyes, and he really didn't know what this kind of thing had to be angry about.
Gu Huanli sighed, and then walked away helplessly, but Lu Xuan, the person in the know, stood in place, at a loss for a while.
Previously, it was Lu Xuan who took the initiative to encourage Shen Xixu to approach Luo Mingrang, but now looking at the situation between the two, could it be that she was wrong at the beginning?
If this is the case, then Lu Xuan will also have some responsibility for this matter, after thinking about it, he and Shen Xixu can be regarded as close friends, and there are some things that should help her, or try to help her.
Thinking about it like this, Lu Xuan randomly plucked up the courage to walk to Luo Mingrang's side: "Lord Luo." ”
Although Luo Mingrang had a few encounters with Lu Xuan before, he was not too familiar with him after all, and it was really not his expectation that she would take the initiative to come to him.
Luo Mingrang immediately put down the work in his hand and turned towards Lu Xuan: "What happened to Lu Lingshi?" ”
Luo Mingrang has always had a clear distinction between right and wrong, and he is honest and generous, and he has not angered Lu Xuan at all because of Shen Xixu's affairs, and his attitude towards her at this moment is also polite.
But after all, this matter is a private matter between Luo Mingrang and Shen Xixu, although Lu Xuan is a friend of Shen Xixu, he is still a little difficult to talk about.
After pondering for a while, Lu Xuan opened his mouth and asked Luo Mingrang: "I don't know why Lord Luo is so cold to the county lord today, she has been depressed all day, and she is really like two people on weekdays." ”
Lu Xuan was bitter, but Luo Mingrang was still unmoved, only faintly aware of something.
"Lu Lingshi is too worried, Luo didn't deliberately target anyone, but there is a difference between men and women, and Luo thinks that he shouldn't be too close to the county lord." Luo Mingrang deliberately alienated his relationship with Shen Xixu.
This made Lu Xuan even more puzzled, wasn't it okay before? The longer I knew, the more I began to avoid these.
Lu Xuan was surprised, only to hear Luo Mingrang's voice beside him again: "Lu Lingshi is deeply favored by the county lord, since the county lord is bored, Lu Lingshi will accompany the county lord more, Luo Mou lost his company first." ”
Pushing Shen Xixu to Lu Xuan, Luo Ming hurriedly walked away.
Lu Xuan had no experience in this area, and thought that she had done her best, and it was really not what she wanted to do without improvement, so she had to follow what Luo Ming said and return to Shen Xixu's side.
"You're looking for him?" Shen Xixu asked Lu Xuan with a stomach full of anger.
Lu Xuan nodded immediately, and Shen Xixu continued to ask, "Then what did he say?" ”
Being asked like this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be silent, if the words that Luo Mingrang said were conveyed to Shen Xixu, I am afraid it would only make her even more sad.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't speak, Shen Xixu probably understood, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ah Xuan, do you say that he should hate me to death now, I treated him like that before." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and gently tapped on Shen Xixu's forehead: "Silly girl, what are you thinking, how can he hate you?" Lord Luo said that he just had something on his mind. ”
In desperation, Lu Xuan had no choice but to tell this white lie, but to be honest, it can be regarded as crooked, after all, Luo Mingrang avoided Shen Xixu like this because he was troubled by some worries.
When Shen Xixu heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he raised his eyes and asked Lu Xuan, "Really?" ”
At this point, Lu Xuan can't say that she made up a lie to deceive her, she can only smile and nod:
"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you? This is what Lord Luo said personally, you just give him a few days, and it's not too late to ask him when he calms down. ”
Shen Xixu believed Lu Xuan for the time being, so he was willing to go with her to roast the fire.
But when she walked over, she went straight to Luo Mingrang's indifferent and ruthless eyes, Shen Xixu still felt a burst of pain, she tried her best to suppress it, and then turned her gaze away.
"Let's have something to eat." Gu Huanli handed the dry food he was carrying to Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but handed it to Shen Xixu first: "Ah Xu, eat something, you've been hungry all day." ”
Shen Xixu took it casually, but he didn't put it in his mouth, and just sat quietly on the side with a listless look.
In the past, as long as Shen Xixu was in that place, it must have been noisy, and it was rare to see her so quiet, but everyone was a little uncomfortable.
"Ah Xu, eat quickly." Lu Xuan tried her best to persuade Shen Xixu, but her eyes were always fixed on the person who had no response to her.
Gu Huanli finally couldn't go on, and then looked at the culprit.
