A lamp is like a bean, and Master Lan sits under the lamp with a serene expression, just like Shen Tong every time he sees him.

Shen Tong walked up to him, and Master Lan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at her.

"Miss Shen, you're here."

"Master Lan, how are you doing lately?"

"Okay, it's been good."

Master Lan's face covered with scars was calm, and under the candlelight, those scars also became softer, without the years, without the vicissitudes of life, without the suffering, and without the shock.

"Master Lan, you also have a daughter." Shen Tong's voice sounded again, like a bird's cry in a mountain stream on a spring night, breaking the silence of the room.

Master Lan slowly raised his eyes, momentarily lost his mind, and then shook his head.

He didn't speak, but he had already said what he had to say.

"Are you sure you don't, or are you not sure?" Shen Tong obviously didn't want to let go of this topic.

Some things, since they have been mentioned, must have answers.

"Miss Shen, why do you ask this?" Master Lan said faintly.

"Master Lan, your twin brother did die back then, and you escaped. If I'm not mistaken, you're all very young, only twelve or thirteen. You should have no heirs. ”

When Shen Tong said this, she looked at Master Lan meaningfully, she hoped that Master Lan could say something, but Master Lan didn't say anything, he sat there quietly, his eyes blank, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

"I don't know what happened later, you lost interest in the great cause of recovering the country, and I don't know who injured you like this, no matter who it was, that person obviously didn't want to kill you, because you were so seriously injured, but you were able to survive, obviously that person left your life, I couldn't figure it out before, I even suspected that there were other princes in the Later Jin, but now I have another guess."

"Master Lan, the person who hurt you is yourself, or your old servant. You are self-inflicted! ”

Like a thunderclap flashing in the clear sky, Master Lan looked at Shen Tong fiercely, his eyes wide open, glaring at Shen Tong in disbelief.

I have known Master Lan for a few years, and it is the first time that Shen Tong has seen such a gaffe Master Lan.

Without the calm and calm of his usual life, Master Lan at this time is just a person who has suffered a lot.

"It seems that I am not mistaken, what is it that makes you have the courage to hurt yourself...... Your brother will protect you with his life, and you two will have one life, and you will survive, not only for yourself, but also for your brother. You fled to the northwest, mingling with bandits and peddlers, and although you didn't have a good time, you felt freedom like never before. Yes, it is freedom, you have turned yourself into another person, you are no longer the son of the king of Duyun County, you are no longer the lord of the Later Jin, and you are not anyone's puppet, you are you, you are just yourself. ”

Just a few days ago, Shen Tong couldn't figure out what happened to Master Lan, until today, until she learned that Lang Yue had been rescued, she finally understood why the Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty had become the current Master Lan.

Lang Yue was rescued, which means that Tu Wei has agreed to the Huang family's conditions and exchanged Lang Yue for Xinyu!

All this is not for Langyue, but for Xinyu, because Xinyu is a girl, so the orphans of the Shen family can only be women!

Huang is the biological mother of this child, and she said that whoever is her biological flesh and blood is her biological flesh and blood.

And she, Shen Tong, has turned against the Huang family, and the Huang family's biological flesh and blood will only be Xinyu.

From now on, Shen Tong will be an adopted daughter, a little orphan girl who came out of nowhere, no matter who she is, she will no longer be the daughter of the Shen family.

It was at this moment that Shen Tong felt unprecedented relief, that is, with this indescribable ease, Shen Tong finally figured out why the Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty became Master Lan.

"From the day you can remember, you have been burdened with family hatred and national hatred, your name is the monarch, but in fact you are just two puppets who have been manipulated, even your identity is secret, you can never stand in front of people hand in hand, and after you are sensible, you will understand that one day, the two of you can only live one."

Shen Tong's words were like broken ice beads and jade, and they struck Master Lan's heart coldly and sharply.

He hugged his head with his two bare wrists and hissed, "Stop talking, stop talking, I beg you not to say it anymore!" ”

Shen Tong didn't look at him and continued: "When that day finally came, your brother sacrificed himself and let you escape. He must be telling you that the farther you run, the better, so that the people of Daqi will not find you, and the people of Later Jin will not find you. ”

The sound of sobbing came, and Master Lan couldn't cry.

"You came all the way to the northwest, I think at that time, you wanted to leave the land of Daqi and go to the Western Regions along the Silk Road, but for some reason, you were trapped in Yulin. Later, the Thirteenth Taibao found you, right? ”

Master Lan burst into tears.

"I was mixed in the caravan, and then the caravan was robbed by bandits, I wanted to stay and wait for the next caravan, and then the Silk Road was sandstormed, and then it was winter, and there was no caravan out of the jam, so I had to stay in Yulin temporarily, and I wanted to wait until the spring of the next year to bloom before leaving, but I didn't expect that at this time, they found me."

Shen Tong poured a bowl of herbal tea from the teapot on the small table and brought it to Master Lan, who picked up the tea bowl with both wrists and drank it all in one gulp.

"They told you to go back, and you wouldn't do it, right? But why did you give birth to a daughter again? Shen Tong asked softly.

Hearing the word "daughter", Master Lan sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not sure that it's my daughter, but she is six or seven points similar to that woman." ”

"The woman? Is it your wife? Shen Tong asked.

Master Lan shook his head: "She's not my wife, she was sent by them." ”

At that time, he was found in Yulin by Tu Fang and Tu Shen in the Thirteen Taibao, who, like Tu Wei, were Tu Shaoling's godsons.

At that time, Tu Shaoling was still alive, and when he learned that Tu Fang and Tu Shen had found Master Lan in Yulin, he asked them to bring people back no matter what.

Master Lan forced each other to die, and in desperation, there was something behind.

Tu Shaoling himself is a eunuch, but he attaches great importance to blood.

If according to his original intention, he would not serve the son of the king of Duyun County, but the small court of the Later Jin Dynasty must rely on the four major tribes of the Yi people, and those Yi people only recognize the descendants of the king of Duyun County.

When he learned that the only remaining son of King Shuoguo of Duyun County refused to come back to be the emperor, he categorically sent a woman with the most noble blood of the Great Jin Emperor, made peace with her, and gave birth to the next king of the Later Jin Dynasty.

That day, Master Lan woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly found that there was an extra woman beside him.

What he didn't expect was that this woman was also the daughter of the Great Jin clan, and her grandfather and the father of the King of Duyun County were brothers.

Not only did she share the same surname as him, but she was also his niece.

Master Lan buried his head in his two wrists in pain, he couldn't tell the little girl in front of him what a humiliating night it was.

The two royal descendants were forcibly poured into a happy dissolution and did something unhumane.

After waking up the next day, for the first time in his life, he knelt down in front of Tu Fang Tu Shen as an emperor, and he begged them to spare him and the woman.

But all was in vain, and that night the woman was sent to him again......
