When the soldiers saw Dongfang Luoyu and Lan Zijin returning with a branch, they hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said, "Lord, just leave this kind of thing to us to do." ”

Dongfang Luoyu waved his hand and said, "Such a trivial matter, it is okay for a widow to do it himself. ”

The soldier threw the dry firewood into the fire, the flame rose a little higher, Lan Zijin suddenly remembered something, and said to Dongfang Luoyu: "By the way, Luo Yu, when I first arrived in Nangong Wangcheng, I heard that Nangong Yu is going to go on an expedition again, do you want to go to war with Dongfang?" ”

Dongfang Luoyu snorted lightly and said, "It's not about fighting Dongfang, I guess he's going to attack Ximen." ”

"Simon? Why? ”

"Since the marriage between Nangong and Beiming, the northern side of the Eastern Kingdom has been harassed by the Northern Underworld, and when attacking the Nangong, the Northern Underworld took the opportunity to seize several cities in my East, and now the war between the East and the Nangong is peaceful, of course I have to make the Northern Underworld pay the price."

Hearing Dongfang Luoyu's explanation, Lan Zijin still didn't understand, and asked, "Then what does this have to do with Ximen?" ”

Dongfang Luoyu didn't want to mention the matter of Ximen, but Lan Zijin had already asked about this, so he had to answer: "Ximen and Dongfang married and attacked Beiming, and of course Ximen also had a share." At this time, Nangong Yu could no longer attack the east, so he could only attack the west gate strongly, so as to relieve the pressure on the northern underworld. ”

Lan Zijin nodded: "I see." Only then did she realize that marrying a princess was a world of difference between marrying a princess and marrying a daughter. Therefore, Nangong Yu will marry her to Nangong as a chess piece, and then uphold the North Underworld in a bright and bright way, because the entire Northern Underworld will be used by him and will help him. Therefore, it is impossible for Dongfang Luoyu to make her the queen, because there is nothing behind her, and Ximen Wuya has the entire Ximen Kingdom as a companion to help her unify the four countries.

The same people don't have the same fate. What she can do for Dongfang Luoyu is definitely incomparable to Ximen Wuya.

All she could do, perhaps, was to be by his side.

Difficulty sleeping at night.

Lan Zijin still remembers that the heavy rain and everything is silent, peaceful and harmonious in the northern underworld. I don't know what has become of her now, she hasn't been back for a long time.

Dongfang Luoyu lay beside Lan Zijin and said softly: "Zijin, now that the border between the North and the East is at war, the commander of the North is your brother Lan Zhiyuan." ”

"Brother? How can he be the boss? He is not proficient in martial arts, nor is he familiar with the art of war, Bei Mingfan actually let his brother be the commander to lead the troops to defend against the enemy? Lan Zijin was shocked, sat up and said.

"According to my guess, it shouldn't be the idea of Bei Yingfan to let your brother be the boss, but Gu Chengye, the regent of Bei Ming. He has always regarded the Lan clan as an enemy, and he probably wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the Lan clan. Dongfang Luoyu saw Lan Zijin's solemn expression and continued: "But don't worry, I have already instructed Guo Mu, Lan Zhiyuan can only be captured alive." ”

"Nangong announced my death, my father, mother, and brother must be very worried about me." Lan Zijin lowered his head, unable to hide his sadness.

Dongfang Luoyu comforted: "I will find a way to inform them." Don't be upset. ”

Lan Zijin said "um", and then continued: "Uncle Gu used to love me very much. I don't know why I always regard the Lan clan as an enemy, if my brother loses the battle one after another, Uncle Gu will find an excuse to kill him. ”

Dongfang Luoyu was silent, he couldn't compromise on this issue, even if Lan Zhiyuan would be disposed of, he couldn't let Guo Mu deliberately defeat him.

I only heard Lan Zijin say again: "Luo Yu, can you think of a way to capture my brother to the East, I will persuade him to stay in the East and be your courtier, is it okay?" ”

"What about your parents? If Lan Zhiyuan stayed in the East as a minister, did you ever think about how your parents would be treated by Bei Mingfan? ”

"I want to go back to the North and try my best to persuade them to abandon the foundation of the North and come to the East with me. May I? Lan Zijin looked at Dongfang Luoyu with a slightly pleading gaze, Dongfang Luoyu nodded, and said, "After returning to Dongfang, we will discuss the specific matters carefully and try to ensure that nothing goes wrong." But you have to think clearly, it is very difficult to get Prime Minister Lan to give up the North Hell, and everyone in the world knows that Prime Minister Lan is the most loyal. ”

"Let's talk about it then, if it really doesn't work, I will forcibly tie them up, and then slowly advise."

Inside the tent, it was still cold, despite the fact that the ground was covered with hay and wool felt.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lan Zijin shivered from the cold, then woke up, put on a dress and walked out of the account. Outside, it was foggy, and the soldiers sat on the hay, leaning against each other, and fell asleep.

The campfire gradually dimmed, and the flames were dying.

Lan Zijin thought to himself, since he had woken up, he would go and collect some firewood to make the soldiers warmer.

It was foggy in the night, and the road ahead was pitch black, Lan Zijin picked up some branches in the dark and was about to turn back to the camp, following the only light left in the night, she came to the campfire, but found that a red-haired woman was roasting the fire next to the campfire.

Lan Zijin was very surprised, and asked softly, "Who are you?" ”

The woman slowly raised her head, her face was exactly the same as Lan Zijin, Lan Zijin gasped in fright, took a few steps back, and saw the red-haired woman stand up and say, "Why did you leave me?" ”

These words couldn't help but remind Lan Zijin of the voice in the bamboo forest, she calmed down and asked, "Who are you?" ”

She replied lightly: "I seem to have said, I am Lan Zijin, and I am the same person as you." ”

With that, the red-haired woman rushed towards Lan Zijin, but dissipated when it touched her chest.

Lan Zijin came back to his senses and looked around, and the red-haired woman was gone. She touched her chest, in the side pocket of her clothes, there was a plum blossom fan for her senior brother, she took out the plum blossom fan, the plum blossom carved on the main bone of the fan exuded a faint light, she opened the fan, looked at the familiar plum blossom picture, and said, "Senior brother, did you protect me just now?" Jin'er misses you so much. I remember you used to say, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without a cold bone......"

As soon as the words were finished, the plum blossom fan exuded a fresh plum fragrance, and the clear voice of the senior brother came out of the fan.

"Jin'er, congratulations, you broke through the early stage of the saint and became a saint."

Lan Zijin burst into tears of excitement when she heard the voice of the Bank of China, and she suddenly shouted, "Senior brother! ”

This voice was transmitted through this folding fan to the Zhongxing Mu Tian on the distant Taisheng Mountain, and the Zhongxing Mu Tian woke up from his slumber, pinched the mantra, and replied: "Jin'er? ”

"Senior brother?"

"Jin'er, did you break through in the early stage?"

"Senior brother, what's going on?"

"The fan in your hand is a holy relic of the Taisheng Mountain, if you clear the fan, you can contact me if you break through the initial stage of the saint and activate the spell."
