The city lord of Qilian City, who was ordered by the Imperial Court of the Patriotic Empire, was originally Qu Wencheng, who was originally transferred from the capital, but Duanmu Shuofeng was not only the prince, but also the descendant of the founding general Wei Chilin, the status of this Wei Chi family in the defense of the country is the same as that of the Xu family in Liangguo, such a grand background, who can match?

In addition, he came with the emperor's own Zhaoming document, and directly brought people into the city lord's mansion, but it made the original Qilian City Lord Qu Wencheng become a subordinate, for this, the original city lord Qu Wencheng himself has no opinion, although he is the nominal Qilian City Lord, but the imperial courts of various countries have always implemented the system of separation of military and government. In this kind of border pass, the really powerful and powerful one is the commander of the Qilian Army, he is actually the person sent by the imperial court as a check, balance and monitoring, and now there is a person like Duanmu Shuofeng who has the ability and at the same time has a strong enough background to replace his class, he is a little happier.

The only thing that is not beautiful is that Duanmu Shuofeng forcibly stayed in Qiliancheng under the pretext that his ability is not bad, otherwise he could have calmed down and returned to the capital, and then Qiliancheng's political achievements, all the way to the top, but Duanmu Shuofeng's ability he knew, and the other party asked for this, and he didn't dare to disobey, now he is messing around in Qilian City, and the major matters are basically handled by Duanmu Shuofeng's own people, he is nothing more than responsible for some things to appease the people and deal with official documents.

When Duanmu Shuofeng left the capital of Weiguo and came to this Qilian city, he only brought one of his uncles and more than a dozen generals in the Weichi family, as well as this sister who was not worried about leaving her alone in the capital.

His half-brothers and sisters, one by one, are not honest people, the heart of the heir has never died, Duanmu Shuofeng left, they can't help it, maybe they will make a fuss about his own sister Duanmu Nanli, Duanmu Shuofeng naturally will not leave his simple sister alone in such a dangerous capital, so he directly took it here to live.

To say that Duanmu Shuofeng is the only sister in the world, it is indeed to love to the extreme, and even specially built a large courtyard with three entrances in the backyard of the city lord's mansion as a living place, you must know that this Qilian City is built by the mountain, located in the first line of heaven between the two peaks, it is an outpost set up to guard against the enemy in the south, it costs a lot of manpower and material resources, it can be said that every inch of land is gold, especially this city lord's mansion as the center of the entire Qilian Mountain defense line, it is even more eager to occupy half of the city, Duanmu Nanli alone occupies such a large area, and according to her preferences, it is full of rare flowers and plants, which can be called a luxury, even Duanmu Shuofeng himself, the living place on weekdays, is just a small room divided into two by a screen.

Duanmu Shuofeng's favor for her, that is well known, everyone knows that the eldest lady is kind-hearted, it doesn't matter if she offends her, but if the eldest prince accidentally knows, he will be whipped ten at the light and killed with a cane.

Therefore, when Duanmu Nanli took people all the way back to the house, no one dared to come up and interrogate.

took Gu Xuan all the way to the door of the courtyard where he lived on weekdays, looking at the round arch carved with the jade rabbit and bright moon pattern in front of him, Duanmu Nanli finally stopped.

She turned and spoke to the man behind her.

"Xie Houyin, aren't you ready to leave? I'm back at home, aren't you still at ease?"

Xie Houyin couldn't laugh this time, but just bowed down calmly and replied: "The eldest prince has instructed me to protect the young lady every step of the way, not to mention that this person's origin is unknown and his identity is uncertain, if the young lady is allowed to be alone with him, I am afraid that something will happen, and I will not be able to explain to the eldest prince at that time, so I can't leave." ”

Duanmu Nanli rolled her eyes at him again, the other party pressed her own brother's order, and she had nothing to say, so she could only smile at Gu Xuan: "Engong, we don't have to pay attention to him, please come here with me." ”

As he spoke, he took Gu Xuan to push open the door and walked into the courtyard, the people inside were busy at this time, and when they saw Duanmu Nanli coming back, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted her in unison, Duanmu Nanli also responded politely one by one, and took Gu Xuan through several corridors, and finally walked to the gate of the garden at the back.

The garden is not big, the decoration inside was originally very exquisite and complete, such as rockeries and strange stones, swing pavilions and other objects, but recently Duanmu Nanli let people to demolish them, the whole garden, now there is only one stone table left, a few small stools, just in front of the table, is two erected stone blue tombstones, simple and depressed, to the original flowery backyard added a bit of solemn loneliness.

As soon as he came to this place, Duanmu Nanli's mood that was originally very excited when he met Engong also dropped in an instant, looked at the simple tombstone in front of him, and began to whisper to Gu Xuan next to him.

"Because of my willfulness, my two personal maids accompanied me and secretly ran out of the city, all the way south, to a mountain, and met thieves, after which they were killed to protect me, and just when I thought I was going to die at the hands of the thieves, it was you who appeared and saved me. ”

Gu Xuan listened to the other party's deep voice, and the pictures flashed back to his mind, and he quickly closed his eyes and covered his head at the moment.

"Eun Gong!"

When Duanmu Nanli saw it, he immediately shouted worriedly.

Gu Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, but his eyes still didn't open, he just muttered, "I'm fine, I'm fine。。。。。。 ”

At this moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if someone had stabbed the Heavenly Spirit Cover open, and then it was still churning his brain inside, even a person like him was so painful that he could barely stand.

Gu Xuan covered his head with both hands, stumbled to the side, and finally sat on the edge of the stone bench next to him, and then slowly propped himself up, lying his head on the stone table, Duanmu Nanli was startled when he saw him suddenly become like this, and just wanted to come over to ask about his situation, but because he was stopped just now, he didn't know what to do, and finally just stood aside, his hand stretched out and retracted, his face was full of anxiety, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Gu Xuan was sweating profusely at this time, as if he had been thrown into the water, his whole body was soaked, but he still held on, endured the severe pain, followed the other party's description just now to recall, and kept muttering: "Yes, yes。。。。。。 ”

Duanmu Nanli whispered, "Engong?"

Gu Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, turned his face on the table, and smiled weakly at Duanmu Nanli: "I finally have a little impression in my mind, it seems that I still have a few friends around me at that time, right?"

Duanmu Nanli's face was full of surprise, and he nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, there were three other people around Engong at that time, but they also kept calling Engong 'Gongzi', so I think it should be just a subordinate." ”

Gu Xuan frowned, lay on the table, didn't speak, just continued to follow Duanmu Nanli's words and carefully recalled, the only right eye that could see, the pupils continued to dilate, like a frightened cat, and his eyes began to flash silently, but only in his memory.

After a while, his pupils finally focused again and returned to normal, Gu Xuan got up from the table, shook his head, his breath calmed down a lot, and immediately stood up from the stool, and couldn't help but step forward and hold Duanmu Nanli's little hands as white as green and white jade, wanting to continue to ask the other party.

Duanmu Nanli's breath stagnated, and even her whole body froze in an instant, pursed her mouth, lowered her head to look at the other party holding her hand, and a cloud of red swelled up on her slender neck like a white swan again.

"Well, Engong?"

Gu Xuan had just recovered a little bit of his own memory at the moment, the kind of thing that he thought of, but he couldn't remember, it was like being separated by a thin veil, hazy, faintly visible The outline of the things behind him, and even the vague sound could be heard, but you just couldn't see it really, and you couldn't hear it clearly, no matter what you did, you just couldn't do it, the more you wanted to catch it, the more difficult it was to see clearly, which made him uncomfortable and almost crazy.

Gu Xuan, who was so anxious, didn't notice Duanmu Nanli's reaction at all, he just suppressed his emotions, tried to keep calm and continued to ask towards the lovely person opposite: "I remember a little bit, but not much, can you tell me something else?" a little more, maybe I can remember, I think about it, my name, yes, my name, this is very important, do you remember?"

Duanmu Nanli lowered his head, his hand was pinched by Gu Xuan, and he didn't choose to break free from the other party, but just twisted and whispered: "Engong said before that his name is Tang Xuan。。。。。。 ”

Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, frowned, and carefully recalled according to these two words, but this time there was no picture pouring out.

Tang Xuan?

It shouldn't be right, otherwise I wouldn't have had any reaction, could it be that I deliberately lied to her pseudonym?

And at this moment, he suddenly noticed Duanmu Nanli who was almost standing close to him opposite, the red on his face was almost dripping, he reacted, quickly let go of the hand holding the other party, twisted his head to the side in embarrassment, and stumbled: "Hug, sorry." ”

Duanmu Nanli still hung his head, but nodded slightly, and his hands were even raised in the air, maintaining the movements just now.

------------------------------------------

At this moment, the city lord's mansion of Qilian City, in the small courtyard where the prince Duanmu Shuofeng lives.

Duanmu Shuofeng has always been a very hardworking person, or he has an unremitting pursuit of his dreams, everything can not stop his motivation to move forward, as long as it can be realized, he does not mind living a life of only sleeping for three hours a day.

Since he came to this Qilian City, relying on the emperor's Zhaoming documents and his own prestige and ability, he almost forcibly took the military and political power in his hands, and even the city lord Qu Wencheng took most of the work by him, every day, he had to work in his study until late at night before falling asleep, doing everything himself, in this regard, there is indeed no one in the country who can compare to him.

Occasionally, when he had nothing to do, he would look at the map of the situation in the south on the wall, and talk with the scribe Wu Heng about the plan.

Today, as usual, Duanmu Shuofeng sat alone at the table silently correcting the official documents, and then there were constantly people dressed as attendants going in and out with their heads down, taking the corrected official documents to the various yamen to deal with them, or notifying the summoned people to come over.

Just when Duanmu Shuofeng was busy at the desk, a subordinate quietly ran in, stood beside him, and waited until no one was in or out for a while, then he came over and knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Master!"

Duanmu Shuofeng didn't even raise his head, and he was still writing hard in his hand.

"What's the matter?"

The subordinate didn't dare to delay him for a penny, and hurriedly explained: "It was General Xie who asked the little one to inform you, saying that the young lady brought a strange man back to the house, and the young lady said that the person was her life-saving benefactor, and now he should be chatting in the young lady's own yard, and General Xie asked the young man to decide." ”

When Duanmu Shuofeng heard this, he put down his pen and raised his head.

He was born with a hawkish look like a wolf, although he was very handsome, but in his eyes, his eyes were scorching, domineering, very terrifying, just a subordinate, where did he dare to look at him, and immediately lowered his head.

"A lifesaver?"

The servant replied: "Yes, yes, General Xie also said that the man's martial arts are very high, and he is not an opponent, so he can only let the young lady take him back to the house." ”

Duanmu Shuofeng's mind immediately appeared in his mind the young man he had seen outside the city before.

"Tang Xuan?"

Duanmu Shuofeng stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, thoughtful.

Why did he suddenly come to Qilian City?

However, this kind of insignificant little person couldn't arouse his interest, Duanmu Shuofeng just waved his hand and ordered: "When I finish my official business, I will go there in person, you just let General Xie look at the eldest lady first." ”

The subordinate hurriedly knelt down and said, "Obey the master's orders." ”
