Chapter 128: Reminiscing about Childhood
"Don't worry, you shouldn't. At most, it is exhaustive. Lan Zijin smiled brightly, as if he didn't care about the difference between men and women from Dongfang Luoqi.
"Exhausted?"
Dongfang Luoqi asked rhetorically, then raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you want to try?" ”
"Another day."
Lan Zijin said casually, and Dongfang Luoqi also laughed, there had never been such a bold joke between them.
At night, Lan Zijin lay in bed and remembered what happened when he was a child.
When she was young, her father Lan Yi took her to visit the regent Gu Chengye, and when she walked to the gate of the palace, her father said to her: "Jin'er, when you see the prince for a while, you must greet you respectfully, and you must not be rude, do you know?" ”
The young Zijin nodded, his round eyes full of innocent brilliance.
After entering, Lan Zijin looked at Gu Chengye without a trace of fear. After the father finished the salute, he looked at Lan Zijin, Lan Zijin knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Uncle Gu is good." ”
The father scolded: "Jin'er, don't be rude. ”
Lan Zijin looked at his father with a puzzled expression, and said, "Father, Jin'er is not rude, Jin'er is very serious about saying hello to Uncle Gu." ”
"Uncle, your name is the same? You have to call the king. Father reminded. But Lan Zijin didn't change his words, and said: "The title of the prince is too blunt, and Jin'er thinks it's more cordial to call uncle." ”
Lan Yi hurriedly apologized to Gu Chengye: "Lord Wang, the little girl is too young to understand the rules, please forgive me." ”
Gu Chengye looked at Lan Zijin, Lan Zijin's eyes were innocent and very clever, he asked with a straight face, "What's your name?" ”
Lan Zijin smiled and replied, "My name is Lan Zijin, Blue Blue, Qingqing Zijin's Zijin." ”
Gu Chengye nodded, but Lan Yi was very worried.
"Uncle Gu, oh no, Lord Wang, can I go to the yard to play?"
Gu Chengye asked again, "Why do you want to go outside to play?" ”
"Because my father used to say that adults should not interject when children speak. The prince and my father must still have something to say, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help answering, so I also ask the prince to allow me to go out to play, and when you are done talking, let my father take me back. ”
Gu Chengye couldn't help laughing when he heard this, nodded and said to Lan Yi: "Prime Minister Lan, your little daughter is very cute." ”
Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
"Okay, you can go out now, but you can't go too far, you know?"
"yes, I know."
Thinking of the conversation with Uncle Gu at that time, a smile appeared on Lan Zijin's face, and that smile was full of her memories of the past.
When he got home that time, his brother Lan Zhiyuan looked reluctant, complaining that his father didn't take him when he went out, but brought Lan Zijin. In fact, Lan Yi was afraid that Lan Zhiyuan would be too reckless and make Gu Chengye unhappy.
Lan Zijin took Lan Zhiyuan's hand and said, "Brother, it's actually boring to go there, fortunately my brother didn't go, otherwise he would definitely suffocate to death." Jin'er went instead of her brother, how happy it was for my brother to stay at home! ”
Lan Zhiyuan felt a little more comfortable after listening to Lan Zijin's words, and said to Lan Zijin lovingly: "Jin'er, my brother is just afraid that you will be bored." I heard that the prince is very fierce, and my brother is worried that you will be afraid. ”
"Jin'er is not afraid. Brother rest assured, by the way, brother, I want to eat rock sugar gourd, can you accompany me to buy a bunch? By the way, my mother likes to eat too, so let's buy more. ”
"Okay."
The next day, Lan Zijin and Dongfang Luo Qi drove to the North Hades King City. Everything in the North Hades City is as before, and the sky is full of ice and snow.
"Luo Qi, you wait for me at the inn, I'll go home first, so as not to misunderstand my father and mother."
"Okay."
Lan Zijin returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with excitement, but found that a seal had been affixed to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
What's going on? Where did my father, mother, and brother go?
Lan Zijin jumped into the courtyard, and everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion had already been ruined.
The weeds in the courtyard had withered and yellowed, and the paint on the houses had dried and cracked, all of which looked so desolate in her eyes.
She closed her eyes and began to summon demons, and a small demon spirit came to her.
"Lord Moyuan."
"What's wrong with the Blue Mansion? How did it get to be the way it is? ”
The demon spirit replied: "This place has been locked down two years ago, because General Lan lost the battle, and later was accused of trumped-up charges by Wang Shang, and the Lan clan has been locked up in the guilty tower for a long time. ”
Lan Zijin waved his hand, and the demon spirit dispersed.
Guilty Tower?
Her heart was extremely guilty, if she hadn't provoked Bei Ying Yiyi, the Lan clan would not have fallen to such a point.
Lan Zijin returned to the inn first and told Dongfang Luoqi all this. Dongfang Luoqi looked at her sad appearance and comforted: "Zijin, don't be sad first, let's sneak into the Guilty Tower tonight to see how your parents and brother are doing." ”
"Okay."
At night, the two came to the bottom of the guilty tower.
The tower was so airtight and so tall that it seemed impossible to sneak in.
Lan Zijin held the Panlong Sword and summoned several demon spirits to merge into the sword, and Dongfang Luo Qi also pulled out the Slashing Sword, ready to fight the guards in the tower at any time.
The two had already changed into their night clothes, and after killing the guards at the door, they entered the Guilty Tower.
As soon as they entered the door, a patrolling guard spotted them, Dongfang Luo Qi put the sword on his neck and asked, "Where are the Lan Cheng Ministers?" ”
The guard replied in fear, "Spare your life!" Prime Minister Lan, Prime Minister Lan and his wife have died a long time ago, and only General Lan is locked up on the second floor. ”
Lan Zijin was heartbroken when she heard this, tears poured out instantly, she didn't expect that she was still late.
"Dead? How did he die? ”
In the face of Dongfang Luoqi's coercion, the guard replied honestly: "Sick to death, this guilty tower is extremely cold, and the Lan couple died not long after they were imprisoned." ”
"And what about their corpses?"
"The lord said that Prime Minister Lan Cheng is also a big man in the Northern Underworld, so he asked someone to be buried at the foot of the North Mountain."
After hearing this, Dongfang Luo Qi knocked the guard unconscious with one palm, and Lan Zijin hurriedly ran up to the second floor.
There were only three or five guards on the second floor, and it didn't take much effort for Lan Zijin to stab them with the Coiling Dragon Sword, and the moment the stab was made, the demon spirit entered and controlled them to fall asleep.
At this time, there was only one guard left, Lan Zijin's eyes were fierce, staring at the man and asking, "Where is General Lan?" ”
The guard pointed to the innermost cell and then knelt down and begged for mercy, but Lan Zijin ignored him and ran in the direction he pointed. Leaving Dongfang Luoqi to solve the last guard, he followed her to the cell.
Lan Zijin looked at the familiar figure in the cell, cried and said, "Brother, brother, it's me, I'm Jin'er." ”
