Chapter Eighty-Seven: Friends Reunited

Lan Jing'an had lunch with Bai Qingfeng at noon. Bai Qingfeng told her that he was pressed for time this time, and he just had to wait for her sealing ceremony to finish watching the New Year, and he would rush back to Qingzhou as soon as possible. In addition to giving Xiao Qingyun a gift, he also prepared his own gift for Lan Jing.

Bai Qingfeng knew that Lan Jing'an's Hidden Arrow had played a huge role in injuring Yuwen Mochi in Yanbo Pavilion, but it was no longer after falling into the water. This time, he sent her a more delicate and small Hidden Arrow.

He also gave a special hairpin, which looks bejeweled, but there is a mystery inside. As long as you twist the mechanism of the hairpin, the hairpin will shoot out a silver needle as thin as a hair. And this silver needle is quenched, and the person who is shot will faint in a very short time.

Lan Jingan likes these two self-defense weapons very much and thinks they are very practical. The eldest brother is really the one who knows what she wants the most besides Qingyun's brother.

In the afternoon, Lan Jing'an received a third gift from Xiao Qingyun - a visit from her former close friend Wan Ping. Lan Jing'an didn't expect Wan Ping, who was leading the troops in the northwest, to come in person, which was another big surprise, and he rushed forward and hugged her. The two girls who are like siblings can't help but wet their eyes.

Wan Ping told Lan Jing'an that it was Xiao Qingyun who personally wrote to Wan Mingde, asking him to temporarily let Wan Ping leave the front line and send someone to escort her south to Jiangling to have a short reunion with Lan Jing'an.

Wan Ping was very excited when she received the message sent by Lan Jing'an from Meiyang City, but she was in charge of military affairs, and she was not allowed to leave her post without approval, and she could not personally escort Lan Jing'an south to Jingzhou.

Wan Mingde received Xiao Qingyun's handwritten letter, how could he refuse to let go, and at the same time thought that he would take this opportunity to let Wan Ping rest, so he sent someone to escort her to Jiangling carefully.

In fact, Wan Ping arrived the day before Lan Jing'an arrived in Jiangling, but Xiao Qingyun specifically mentioned it in the letter, asking Wan Ping to wait until the day before Lan Jing'an's birthday. That's why she endured it and didn't go to Lan Jing'an. However, she hid in the crowd and watched Lan Jing'an's sacrifice ceremony in the Tomb of the People.

Lan Jing'an saw her brother and had a best friend by her side, although tomorrow was the first day of her birthday, but the day before made her happy and overwhelmed. In the evening, at Lan Jing'an's residence, everyone gathered together to reminisce about the past.

Lan Jing'an will enter the Sacred Mountain tomorrow, she doesn't dare to be greedy for a cup, and she replaces wine with tea, and once again thanks Bai Qingfeng and Wan Ping for temporarily putting down the things in her hands and coming from afar. The two of them happily accepted it, and at the same time wished her all the best when she entered the mountain tomorrow.

After the dinner, Lan Jing'an and Wan Ping talked alone for a long time. Two friends from the year talked about their mental journey in the past year. Both parties are glad to have a confidant with them to share the pain of not being able to speak to outsiders.

Wan Ping's changes in the past year are greater than Lan Jing'an's. The wind and sand in the northwest were fierce, and she was out fighting, and her delicate skin had been blown a little cracked, but she was obviously much more mature than when she was in Yonghua City. She is no longer the cheerful little girl who was protected by her grandfather and her eldest brother. Her smile was less and more serious as a soldier's order.

Lan Jing'an felt very sorry for her when she thought that she had been affected by herself and lost her grandfather, eldest brother and fiancé. Wan Ping didn't think it was caused by her and Xiao Qingyun. Her hatred was tied to the Yuwen clan, and she only thought about how to break the Yuwen clan as soon as possible and help Lan Jing'an and Xiao Qingyun destroy the entire Yuwen clan.

The two recalled the past and chatted about Bai Qingchen. This is the first time Wan Ping opened her heart after going to Jincheng and mentioned her thoughts about Bai Qingchen. Wan Ping was inconvenient to wear the bracelet anymore due to the battle, but she hung the bracelet given by Bai Qingchen with a red rope around her neck, protected it with a heart armor, and protected it on her chest all the time.

The man who bought her good food, took her on a horseback ride, rescued her from the water, and said that he loved her for the rest of his life, the only thing left for her was this kind of thing. How many nights of sleeplessness she had, countless quiet tears, and endless longing, still couldn't bring back her deceased lover.

This life has been missed, and all she can hope for is the next life. Speaking of sad places, this female general, who had never even seen her parents and shed a single tear again, couldn't cry.

Lan Jingan knew that Wan Ping and Bai Qingchen had feelings, but he didn't expect Wan Ping's feelings for Bai Qingchen to be so deep. Although she felt sorry for Wan Ping being alone and about to die alone, she admired and respected Wan Ping's choice. She hugged her gently, comforted her, cried with her, and recalled the bits and pieces of Bai Qingchen together.

Wan Ping cried a lot and felt much better. asked about Lan Jing'an's situation again. Lan Jing'an roughly recounted the unbearable experience of this year.

Wan Ping heard what happened to Lan Jing'an, first she was angry and wanted to immediately take a sword to cut Yuwen Moyuan, and then she felt happy for Lan Jing'an. Fortunately, the person who fell in love with Lan Jing'an was Xiao Qingyun, and his tolerance and his love brought Lan Jing'an back from despair again.

Regarding Lan Jing'an's imprisonment in Mulan Garden, everyone in the shadow guards who rescued her knew about it, but they were all Xiao Qingyun's people and would not talk nonsense.

And Yuwen Moyuan didn't want to tell the world what he had done. He still has the illusion that one day he can get Lan Jing'an to the palace. At that time, he needs to borrow the identity of Yulan, so he will never admit that the Yulan he hid in the Mulan Garden is Lan Jing'an.

Xiao Qingyun and Yuwen Moyuan, the two sworn enemies, have a rare tacit understanding in this regard. Xiao Qingyun claimed to the public that Lan Jing'an fell into the water and lost his memory, was rescued by the fisherman, and only remembered his identity after a year in a small fishing village, got in touch with the cadres in time, and escaped the pursuit of Dayong's soldiers and horses through his wit, and arrived in Jingzhou.

Yuwen Moyuan did not refute his statement, but found a fisherman who lived alone at random, saying that his family harbored Lan Jing'an and wiped out all the innocent family of six.

However, when it comes to what happened in Lan Jing'an this year, there are no more than ten people in the cadre army. And the people who knew that she was pregnant, except for Xiao Qingyun, there were only three people, Jiang Xianlin, Biluan and Su Mei. And Lan Jing'an never mentioned his feelings for the child who died early to anyone.

Lan Jing'an knew that the child should not have come to this world, but that fetus was her biological flesh and blood. As a mother, she couldn't help but feel the pain of losing her child. She had only seen the child once in her dreams, and although she hadn't even confirmed her face and gender, the distress engraved in her bones made her unforgettable.

After losing her child, she recalled over and over again the confusion and joy when she first learned that she had a child, and her own caution later. Everything in Mulan Garden seems to have left an indelible mark on her heart because of that child.

She really wanted to forget that child, but she found that she couldn't do it at all, this child was buried in the deepest part of her heart just like Brother Qingyun, no matter how long it was, the slightest touch would make her collapse. The child has become an eternal pain in her heart.

Lan Jing'an opened her mouth several times, but found that she still couldn't say anything about the child. The pain in her heart was not alleviated or confided. There seemed to be no other way to make her feel better than to lick her wounds alone in the dark.
