Chapter 24: Mood Turmoil
After Danzhou was separated from Huangfu Hong, Yun Lan and Lan Qianzhu diverted to Shunzhou.
The distance between Shunzhou and Danzhou is not too far, and according to the speed of Yun Lan and the others, it only took a day and a half to arrive.
After arriving in Shunzhou, Yun Lan first went to the Shunzhou camp to learn more about what was said in the message that day.
"The last general greets His Highness!"
In the tent of the commander of the Shunzhou battalion, Wu Yuyuan, the general of the garrison here, saluted Yun Lan.
"Yu Yuan, you said in your letter that there is something different in Southern Wei, what is going on?"
Yun Lan asked after waving her hand and finding a place to sit.
"Back to Your Highness, a month ago, the Southern Wei cavalry battalion raided the eastern part of my Shunzhou, but the strange thing is that they don't seem to be in love with war, and before our reinforcements arrived, they retreated directly, several times in a row, all like this."
"The last general didn't know what their purpose was in doing this, so he didn't dare to be careless, and the flying pigeon sent a message to inform His Highness of this."
Yun Lan nodded lightly, he also felt very strange when he received the letter at that time, to say that the Southern Wei cavalry camp, the number of people is only a few thousand, with this point people want to attack the Shunzhou camp, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, this matter is really unreasonable.
Or are they just here to test the reality of the Shunzhou camp?
"Have you found any clues now?"
"The last general is incompetent, and so far I have not seen their intentions."
Wu Yuyuan looked ashamed, lowered his head and said softly.
Yun Lan didn't blame him, got up and went to the topographic map, carefully studied the notes on the map for a while, and couldn't see anything in a short time.
However, Yun Lan's vigilance in his heart did not relax because of this, he turned around and repeatedly told Wu Yuyuan: "Although we don't know what calculations the Southern Wei Dynasty is making for the time being, we must guard against people, and we must strengthen the border guard in the near future to prepare for the unexpected." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the last generals have already been arranged."
"Oh, by the way, I have other things to do in Shunzhou this time," Yun Lan said, glancing at Lan Qianzhu, who had been silent on the side, "It's business as usual here." ”
"Yes."
"Let's go, I'll personally accompany you to collect medicine." Yun Lan came to Lan Qianzhu's side and said to him lightly, seeing his face showing rejection, he hurriedly added, "You also heard, Shunzhou has not been calm recently, you are a girl who goes up the mountain alone, I really don't feel at ease." ”
Although it was a short sentence, it made Lan Qianzhu feel a little warm. Her childhood experience made her indifferent on the outside, and it was difficult for others to approach, but who knew that deep down she was also extremely eager for others to care.
Seeing that Lan Qianzhu didn't say anything to refuse, Yun Lan smiled slightly and strode out of the tent.
Qianxuan Mountain Range is the longest longitudinal mountain range in Shunzhou, and the highest mountain is named "Qianxuan", which is the junction of the southwest and south of Dayun, and is also the destination of Yunlan and the two of them.
"This medicine is not much different from ordinary grass plants, and you may not be able to recognize it, so you should follow me all the way and don't run around."
Lan Qianzhu's cold voice came from beside herself, Yun Lan was obviously choked, how could this sound like she was protecting herself...
However, Yun Lan also knew that what Lan Qianzhu said was reasonable, so she didn't refute it at the moment, but just followed the figure in front of her.
The Qianxuan Mountain is steep and the mountain road is quite rugged, and it took the two of them two hours to barely climb halfway up the mountain.
"The cold grass likes shade and usually grows on top of cliffs..."
Lan Qianzhu brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead, looked around, and saw that there was a cliff in the east, and immediately walked in that direction.
"Hey, what are you going to do?"
After the two approached the cliff, Yun Lan saw that Lan Qianzhu was about to climb, her face changed, and she hurriedly stopped her.
"See those grass plants on it? If I'm not mistaken, there should be a condensation grass in it. ”
"Then you can't just go up like this, it's too dangerous!"
Hearing Yun Lan's words, Lan Qianzhu chuckled, "If you don't go up by yourself, do you expect the herbs to fly down by yourself?" ”
Yun Lan groaned slightly, and immediately said, "In this way, I will go up, and you will command below." ”
With that, Yun Lan rolled up her long sleeves, grabbed the vines on the cliff, and carefully climbed up.
"Hey, you're a man..."
Lan Qianzhu wanted to stop him, but who knew that he was moving so fast that he didn't give people a chance to speak at all.
"Be careful."
"It doesn't matter, if I fall to my death, won't I be doing what you want?" Yun Lan stepped on the rock wall and turned around and joked.
Lan Qianzhu glanced at him angrily, and then said coldly, "That's the same, I should pray now that you fall off quickly." ”
“......”
Advancing like a snail for some distance, I saw the grass plants getting closer and closer to Yun Lan.
Just as he was about to reach out to mine, the rock wall under his feet suddenly loosened, and with a sudden step, large stone chips rolled down the rock wall.
"Be careful!"
Fortunately, the vine in his hand was strong enough, and when he stepped on the air, Yun Lan grabbed the vine with both hands, and although his whole body floated in the air, he did not fall.
"It's okay..."
To maintain the current posture on such a high cliff is to say that you are not afraid, it is naturally a lie.
After a while, a fine bead of sweat appeared on Yun Lan's forehead.
He adjusted his posture and slowly climbed up the vine again.
"Are these these?"
Seeing that his hand had been able to grasp those few grass plants, Yun Lan hurriedly asked downward.
"It's not all... Pick them all. ”
"Good!"
After tossing for a long time and hovering on the edge of danger several times, Yun Lan finally got the herb without danger and successfully escaped with his whole body.
"Give."
Facing the herbs delivered by Yun Lan, Lan Qianzhu wanted to reach out to take it, but when his hand reached halfway, he subconsciously raised his head and saw Yun Lan's scratched side face.
Lan Qianzhu's right hand stopped in mid-air, and his mind fluctuated.
She tilted her head slightly, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes. Since she was a child, the only person who can treat her so well seems to be her brother, which is why she was so angry and desperate when she learned that her brother died at the hands of Yun Lan.
But now, she once again felt the warmth of Yun Lan's body that she hadn't seen for a long time, knowing that there was someone in front of her who wanted to kill him, but she still tried her best to help her regardless of the danger...
If... How good it would be that he wasn't the murderer of his eldest brother...
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, the wind and sand just blew into your eyes..."Lan Qianzhu symbolically rubbed his eyes, and then gently took the herb in Yun Lan's hand.
"Of the seven, only three are condensing herbs, and the rest are just ordinary debris." Lan Qianzhu picked out the three required herbs, lowered his eyelids, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Thank you." ”
"What did you say?" Yun Lan was puzzled, it wasn't that he did it on purpose, but Lan Qianzhu's voice was indeed too small, so he didn't hear it clearly.
"It's nothing, let's go back."
Lan Qianzhu regained his usual coldness and said casually.
"Why is it so weird..."
