By the time Shen arrived, Lan Jing'an had already taken Biluan, Feng Shen and others to follow Lao Du and set off to leave Gaodu City. Lao Du did not take the official road, and led them to pick up sheep intestines on the trail, and went around left and right to a small village in the Taihang Mountains. Lan Jing'an only knew the general direction, summoned Qiu Shaoze over, and asked him quietly, "Have you followed Xiao Meng here?" ”

Qiu Shaoze replied in a low voice: "I haven't been here." This is a remote place, not the place where the two armies are fighting, and it seems to belong to the territory that no one cares about. But don't worry, I've sent someone back to report the location. ”

Lan Jing'an saw that Mu Tu turned around, so he stopped talking, gave Qiu Shaoze a look, and signaled that he knew. The villagers in the small mountain village saw Lan Jing'an and the others coming on horseback, but they just avoided the past, and did not show a frightened look, and one or two villagers took the initiative to say hello to Lao Du.

Lan Jing'an saw this scene and hesitated a little in his heart. It seems that Mutu must have taken advantage of the fact that the two armies of Qianyong were busy fighting, and bought off the villagers here without saying a word, and regarded this place as their comfort nest.

Lao Du saw that Lan Jing'an had reduced the speed of his horse and distanced himself from him, so he also reined in his horse. With a smile, he pointed to a lonely courtyard on the slope and said to Lan Jing'an: "Da Si Ming, people are in that courtyard." But if you don't go right away, you will come to the end in a while, and you will have to trouble you and the villain to climb a few steps of the mountain road. ”

As far as the eye can see, the bare hillside has been covered with heavy snow, and there is only a small farmhouse on that half of the slope. Lan Jing'an asked the shadow guard to be in charge of guarding the vicinity of the hillside for a while, and she only took Bi Luan, Feng Shen, Qiu Shaoze and a dozen or so of her own guards into the courtyard.

Seeing her actions, Lao Du shook his head: "You are too careful." When you come out safely, you will know that the villain is not malicious. ”

Lan Jing'an smiled lightly at him: "Don't get me wrong, this is not to guard against you, but I am afraid that if someone from Dayong's side comes over and ruins our conversation, it will not be beautiful." ”

Lao Du laughed dryly, said no more, and led Lan Jing'an up the mountain step by step, and entered the small farmhouse courtyard. There was a person in the courtyard who was waiting for them, and when he saw Lan Jing'an and the others appear, he politely called the big secretary. Lan Jing'an nodded, recognizing him as another Xia Guo's fine work that had been with her at the beginning.

At this time, Lao Du was embarrassed and said to Lan Jing'an: "Da Si Ming, you see that this main house is not big, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people." Why don't you pick two people to go in with you, and the others go to the side room to warm up and wait for you? ”

Lan Jing'an knew that he was telling the truth, and it was estimated that Mu Tu didn't want others to hear the specific discussion. So she turned her head to Xue Wei and the other guards and said, "You go to the side room and wait for me first." After saying that, he raised his leg and went to the main house. Lao Du stopped at the door of the main house, only looking at Qiu Shaoze with his eyes.

Lan Jing'an frowned, and said to Qiu Shaoze in the end, "You should also go and rest with Xue Wei and them first." There are Biluan and Feng Shen here. Qiu Shaoze didn't worry about Lan Jing'an, but when he saw that Xia Guozuo showed that he was not letting the big secretary enter the door to negotiate, he really couldn't. Qiu Shaoze coldly stabbed Lao Du with an eye knife, but still agreed.

Lao Du saw Qiu Shaoze leave with his people, and then walked to the door, pushed open the door of the main house for Lan Jing'an, and made a gesture of please. Lan Jing'an took Bi Luan and Feng Shen into the room, and Lao Du turned around and closed the door.

Lan Jing'an was relieved to see that there was indeed no one else in the room, and was about to open his mouth to ask Mu Tu about Luan Biao's whereabouts, but Mu Tu had already pointed to the inner room separated by a curtain and said, "The person you are talking to is in the house, please go in alone." ”

Lan Jing'an arrived at this time, although he was still holding a trace of luck, he already knew in his heart that he had done something wrong. She especially asked Lao Du: "Where is Luan Biao?" ”

Lao Du said in a deep voice: "It's also in the inner room." ”

Lan Jing'an took a deep look at Lao Du, let Bi Luan and Feng Shen stay, lifted the curtain, and entered the inner room.

The inside room was obviously warmer than the outside, but Lan Jing'an seemed to have been stripped naked and thrown naked in the snow on a winter day. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't lift her legs, so she could only look at everything in front of her.

Although the person standing opposite her still looked bright, the haggard on his face could not be concealed. should be the most high-spirited years, but there is a gloomy and cold atmosphere around him, which makes people feel the slightest bit of happiness. It was only when he saw Lan Jing'an appear that a smile escaped from his lips, and his eyes lit up.

He looked at Lan Jing'an and said softly: "You're here?" ”

Lan Jing'an felt uncomfortable in her heart all of a sudden, and her eyes widened so that she didn't let the tears flow out of her eyes. Lan Jing'an was stunned for a long time, and said coldly: "I don't want to talk to you." With that, she turned around with all the strength of her body.

Lan Jing'an was struggling to leave, when suddenly a pair of hands reached out from behind her and hugged her from behind. A deep and slightly condensed voice appeared in her ear: "Chang'an, I miss you so much." ”

But in an instant, Lan Jing'an felt that it was so painful that it was difficult to breathe, and the hands wrapped around her waist immediately fell down and clenched into fists. Lan Jing'an could only hope that the pain was caused by him now.

Lan Jing'an gritted his teeth for a while, and finally recovered slightly, but heard a muffled grunt behind him. She couldn't help but turn her head, only to see that his head was covered with cold sweat, and his face was pale and unpresentable. She wanted to reach out to help him, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she raised her voice and shouted to the outer room: "Mutu, you come in." ”

Xie Weining endured the discomfort and hurriedly chased after the outside: "No, you can take Biluan and Feng Shen down to rest." After speaking, he looked at Lan Jing'an pleadingly. Lan Jing An knew that he should refuse him, but somehow he couldn't speak.

Bi Luan and Feng Shen were startled when they heard Xie Weining's voice, Bi Luan couldn't help it at first, pushed away Lao Du who was blocking the door of the curtain, and directly lifted a corner of the curtain. She saw that there were only Xie Weining and Lan Jing'an in the inner room, so she asked Lan Jing'an what to do. Lan Jing'an didn't catch her gaze, but just stared at Xie Weining's pale face.

Bi Luan sighed in her heart, put down the curtain, and looked at Lao Du with a dark face: "Let's go." I'm thirsty. As soon as she said this, Lao Du immediately smiled, and led the black-faced Biluan and the frowning Feng Shen out of the main house.

Xie Weining heard the sound of the door closing, showed a weak smile, reluctantly sat on the mat, pointed to the opposite side of the case, and said to Lan Jing'an, "Sit." ”

Lan Jing'an sat down reluctantly, and at the same time warned himself: Don't be soft-hearted, ask Luan Biao about it and leave. Lan Jing'an quietly lowered his eyes, but saw a case of delicacies. She had to move her gaze further down, gradually to herself. That's when she noticed that her fingers were unconsciously twisted together.

Lan Jing'an hurriedly separated his hands and put them on both sides of his body, only staring at a piece of skin on the big coat, and then said, "What about Luan Biao?" ”

Xie Weining lightly sent out two words: "Dead." Lan Jing'an raised his head in surprise, and lowered his head again: "How can this be?" Who killed it? ”

Xie Weining replied briefly: "Me." ”

Lan Jing was suffocated: "Why? ”

Xie Weining chuckled: "You look up at me, and I'll tell you." ”
