Chapter 56: Breaking the Letter
On the carriage to Nangong, Lan Zijin sat quietly in the carriage, eating the fruit that Dongfang Luoqi prepared for her.
Dongfang Luoqi sat in the front of the car, enjoying the scenery along the way while playing the flute.
The sound of the flute is like a heavenly sound, so that the boredom of the road ahead is all dispersed, and there is a little more charm and elegance.
The border pass is picturesque, with countless mountains and rivers, and endless mountains and forests.
"How long will it take to get to Nangong?" Lan Zijin threw a fruit core out, lifted the curtain, and asked the white-clothed Junnian in front of him.
"You can reach the territory of Nangong tomorrow." Dongfang Luoqi replied with a smile, listening to this voice, her body must have been almost well, and continued: "As long as Brother Wang doesn't find out tonight, we can arrive smoothly tomorrow." ”
"I'm almost fine, or you come in and rest, I'll go out and catch the car for you." Lan Zijin knew that he had never rested well, and he felt a little unbearable.
"No need, we can go to the border city in the east tonight, and then we can have a good rest." Dongfang Luoqi was a little relieved, it was rare for her Lan Zijin to care about him so much now, probably because she didn't want to go, but it was not bad.
Dongfang Luoyu felt that Dongfang Luoqi should be allowed to experience it, and go to the front line with General Guo Mu to lead the troops to fight, he also knew Dongfang Luoqi's thoughts about Lan Zijin, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to let the two of them have as little contact as possible, although he knew that neither Lan Zijin nor Dongfang Luoqi could betray him. But Duanmu Han searched all the places and didn't find Dongfang Luoqi.
"Lord, Lord Luo Qi may no longer be in the Eastern King City." In the imperial study, Duanmu Han stood beside Dongfang Luoyu and lowered his head to report the situation.
"Oh? When you went to the palace, did you see Zijin? Dongfang Luoyu stood with his hands in his hands, wondering, if Dongfang Luoqi was not in Dongfang Wangcheng, where could he go?
"Back to the lord, my subordinates haven't seen Miss Blue."
Dongfang Luo Yuying frowned slightly, and said, "Prepare the horse immediately, the widow is going to the palace." ”
"Yes."
In the palace, Dongfang Luoyu opened the door of Lan Zijin's room, there was only one maid cleaning the room, she saw Dongfang Luoyu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Where's the Blue Maiden?" Dongfang Luoyu was anxious, and it was clear at a glance in the room, except for the maid, there was no one else.
"Your Majesty, Miss Lan left a few days ago."
"What? Gone! Did she tell where she went? ”
"Back to the king, Miss Lan didn't say where she was going."
After listening to the maid's answer, Dongfang Luoyu hurriedly walked out and instructed Duanmu Handao: "Duanmu, you immediately send all the spies in the city to find out the whereabouts of Zijin and Luo Qi." ”
As soon as the words fell, the maid in Lan Zijin's house just now hurriedly ran out, holding a letter in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty, this was found in Lan Girl's room. ”
Dongfang Luoyu took the letter, and the handwriting on it said that Dongfang Luoyu personally opened it.
He hurriedly opened the letter, and frowned after reading it, it turned out that she had gone to Nangong. To get back her fan, and the coiling dragon sword he had given her.
"Your Majesty, the spies have news." One of Duanmu Han's subordinates ran over and knelt in front of Dongfang Luoyu.
"Say." Dongfang Luoyu closed the letter and was worried.
"According to the report, three days ago on the night, Lord Luo Qi and a girl stayed overnight in a town on the edge of the royal city."
It turned out that it was Dongfang Luoqi who accompanied her.
Dongfang Luoyu had a calm face and clenched his hands into fists, although Dongfang Luoqi's kung fu was good, but the two of them broke into the Nangong Prince's Mansion alone, undoubtedly a wolf into the tiger's den. Nangong Yu is insidious and cunning by nature, and he is thoughtful, and he doesn't know what kind of turmoil he is going to make this time.
"Duanmu. You come in with the widow. Dongfang Luoqi walked into Lan Zijin's room, and the maid in the room retreated.
Duanmu Han followed, closed the door, and said, "What does the lord command?" ”
Dongfang Luoyu handed Lan Zijin's letter to him and said, "Look, this is the letter she left. ”
Duanmu Han took the letter, and after reading it, he clasped his hands into fists and asked, "What does the lord want his subordinates to do?" ”
Dongfang Luoyu put his hands behind his back, the worry on his face was obvious, and after a little thought, he said: "The widow wants you to bring a group of elite people to Nangong Wangcheng and secretly pick up Luo Qi and them, no matter whether their actions can succeed or not, they must be brought back safely, and neither of them can fall into the hands of Nangong Yu." ”
"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." Duanmu Han knew in his heart that Lan Zijin was in his master's heart, and Dongfang Luoqi was the brother of Dongfang Luoyu's compatriot, no matter which of the two fell into the hands of Nangong Yu, the consequences would be unimaginable. Dongfang Luoyu is a person who values love and righteousness, and in order for Lan Zijin to give up the six cities he took back from Nangong, it can be seen that Lan Zijin has a position in his mind. And he, Duanmu Han, can give up everything he has for Dongfang Luoyu, including his life. Therefore, the people Dongfang Luoyu cares about, he will also do his best to protect.
After Duanmu Han left, Dongfang Luoyu sat alone in Lan Zijin's room, thinking to himself, he couldn't indulge Lan Zijin to live in this palace anymore, no matter what, he had to take her to the palace, whether she wanted to or not.
Late at night, tonight, the moon is still sparse.
In another month, it may snow. Lan Zijin thought.
In another month, it will be her Lan Zijin's birthday.
Seventeen years old.
This year, she has experienced too many ups and downs. married a man, but he only regarded her as a pawn. fell in love with another man, but it still didn't last long, and it was destined to leave.
At this time, she was sitting in the room of the inn, and she still liked to look at the stars as before. She remembered what the woodcutter had said that day.
"Zijin, drink the medicine." Dongfang Luoqi's beautiful voice reached her ears.
"Come in."
Dongfang Luo Qi entered the door with the decoction and put the overnight brown medicinal soup in front of her.
"Thank you." Lan Zijin knew that this medicine was probably fried by Dongfang Luoqi himself.
"You and my friends, you don't have to be so polite." Dongfang Luoqi sat down in front of Lan Zijin, his clear peach blossom eyes like moonlight bent into a good-looking arc, and watched Lan Zijin finish the medicine.
Lan Zijin finished drinking the medicine, frowned, and said: "My health is almost fine, this broken medicine is too bitter, drink it for one more day, I don't think I will die of illness, I will cry to death by this medicine first." ”
Dongfang Luoqi took out a pack of candied fruit from his sleeve pocket and opened it in front of Lan Zijin, and said with a smile: "Zijin, what do you see I bought for you?" ”
Lan Zijin smiled and took one and put it in his mouth, and sure enough, the bitterness of the medicine was gone, and his mouth was full of the sweetness of candied fruit.
"Merry Lord, I am so good at taking care of people." Lan Zijin laughed and teased him.
"Otherwise, do you think that the only thing that wins the hearts of those beauties is the handsome appearance and chic temperament of this king?" Dongfang Luoqi said, and brushed the green silk on the sideburns.
Lan Zijin sneered and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you are the prince of the Oriental Kingdom, of course, you can't win the favor of beauties only by your handsome appearance and chic temperament, but also by your shameless spirit!" ”
