Chapter 10: The Starbridge Fire Tree

Although he knew that 'there is no free dinner in the world', but looking at the Cambodian books piled up higher than people on the bookcase, An Youran still sighed heavily.

Speaking of which, the prince's ability is also very good, and within three days, he let people find the missing Shen Yu back to the mansion. However, due to Li Yan's lack of good impression of the boy, although he re-entered the house, he did not arrange to be an errand by An Youran's side, and was only placed in another garden to get a leisurely errand. An Youran knew that this move was Li Yan's biggest limit, so he didn't ask for anything else. After all, now the three meals are not worried about the high ** warm quilt, which is much better than Shen Yu being left alone. What's more, now she is indeed more than enough but not enough, and she is still too busy to protect herself, how can she have the time and energy to take care of others?

Because in addition to sorting out those complicated documents, Li Yan, who has not seen him for many days, also really makes An Youran very worried about sleeping. War is about preemptive strikes and surprise wins! Since that day, in order to be able to follow the expected time, Li Yan rushed into the barracks and made every effort to prepare for this matter. Not to mention the trouble of quietly transporting that huge herd of horses to Yaping, it is very difficult to imagine that he went to the battlefield day and night to train his troops in order to ensure that all his soldiers could ride.

Although she was quite resentful about sorting out the paperwork at the beginning, she was a little fortunate now, thanks to this troublesome and exhausting errand, so that she could temporarily clear her mind and not think about Li Yan.

Waving his hand to signal the attendant Yahuan to leave, An leisurely sat down at the table and began to skillfully classify various movements, and wrote opinions and suggestions on the last page of each volume in beautiful small letters, which was the 'good deed' that Li Yan had asked her to do before. In fact, as far as An Youran is concerned, she really doesn't want to show her presence in front of others. Because of the identity of 'Ling Biluo' she is using now, it really makes her position extremely embarrassing at this time. Yu Gong, Lingbei forbade the people to cross the border, and now she openly appears in the border of Rongnan, which can be regarded as a traitor, enough to attract the scorn of the world. Yu Private, she is an unmarried girl, and she eats and sleeps around Li Yan all day long, although the two of them abide by etiquette, they have never crossed the line. But being alone in the same room with a widow is inevitably criticized. Even though she couldn't get out of the house, there were still some unpleasant gossip that reached her ears. So in this situation, An Youran wanted to keep a low profile to avoid right and wrong, but Li Yan insisted on letting her go to the study every day to deal with official business, which once again pushed her to the forefront and became the focus of attention in everyone's eyes.

The silent room echoed with the sound of screeching rustles rubbing against the paper. It wasn't until the middle of the moon that An leisurely stretched out his tired and stiff hands and feet to get up. But she didn't want to raise her hand, but a pair of arms with a refreshing cold fragrance wrapped around her slender waist from behind, frightening her red lips and about to scream, fortunately, at this moment, Li Yan's charming voice sounded at the right time, which dispelled the horror, "Why is it so late, still here?" ”

"You're back!?" Suddenly, hearing the familiar voice that he thought about day and night, An Youran couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and turned around to hug Li Yan for a while, and said happily in his arms, "Master, are you really back?!" ”

"Naturally, it's true, I'm all here, and it's not fake?" Although his brows were furrowed, he seemed to be dissatisfied with An Youran's answer, but the hands that hugged the girl tightly had already revealed Li Yan's joy, "Girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me very much?" ”

"Talent...... Not at all! The little face that was as white as snow was as red as the morning glow, An leisurely twisted his head, and denied it stiffly, "I ...... Busy, not free! Besides, what am I doing...... Why bother you!? ”

"Didn't think about it?" The tail of the evil ghost's eyes lifted a little upward, and the glass-like eyes shone brightly, three points of cunning and seven points of joy, "Then why do you hold me as soon as you meet?" As if you're afraid I'll run away? ”

"I'm ......" The big eyes that were as bright as water blinked innocently a few times, and An leisurely looked at the face of the country that was close at hand, only to realize that he was really firmly wrapped around his neck as Li Yan said...... Not only can she smell her nose, but even Li Yan's long eyelashes can sweep her cheeks between opening and closing......

This posture......

Say as close as you want, as much as you want**......

So, the heart suddenly boomed, beating at high speed like a deer crashing, the original red clouds became more and more hot and surging, not to mention the face, and even An Youran's whole body began to be plated with a layer of magnificent bright red.

Hurriedly letting go of his arm, An leisurely wanted to distance the two. But how could Li Yan, who had been on guard for a long time, allow her to succeed? The hands that were holding Buying's waist exerted a little more force, and the shackles of An Ran, who was constantly struggling, were leisurely and steadily shackled in his arms, and the corners of his lips teased slightly, "What are you?" When the facts are pointed out, are you afraid to destroy the evidence and run away? ”

For a while, shame, anger, shame, and those inexplicable stubbornness hit his heart, An leisurely silver teeth clenched, black as lacquer starry eyes in the eye sockets dripping twice, small mouth pouted and snorted coldly, "What am I afraid of?!" It's not that I exploit laborers, just instructing people to work, but hiding and not paying them! What's wrong with me holding you like that? I'm just going to grab you, the black-hearted prince, and ask for my hard-earned money! ”

When the words landed, An Youran really flipped his palm, and asked Li Yan seriously, "I have been thinking hard day and night for the past six days, and writing it every night. On the friendship of our master and servant, I will give you a discount, and I will give me sixty taels of hard work! ”

"It's really easy to change, but it's hard to change! Even if you change your identity, you won't forget your true colors of accumulating money......" Ironically looking at An Youran, who raised his chin provocatively and glared at him viciously, Li Yan raised his hand to caress the heavy shadow of dark blue under her eyes, "You are just for that sixty taels of silver, and you don't hesitate to leave this terrible black circle under your eyes?" ”

"Yes!" Even if he was unwilling, instead of being embarrassed by Li Yan's peeping into his mind, An Youran would rather bear the name of the philistine. She was angry and said, "I am a helpless orphan, I have no relatives and no family business, if I don't think about exchanging some money, won't I have to live on the streets when I am old, begging for food all day long?" ”

I thought it was just a sexual word, and the prince would definitely turn a deaf ear as usual, but as soon as she said it, Li Yan interrupted with a gloomy face, "What nonsense?!" With me, how can you be helpless and lonely?! ”

"How not?" Thinking of the scene of a single figure staying in the mansion these days, An Youran couldn't help but be extremely angry, she raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "When you were in Chaoxi Valley, you left me without any news, even a few days ago, you left without saying goodbye for seven days!" Now that the war is imminent, maybe one day, I will get the news that you have left the camp when I open my eyes! Even if I don't talk about it, I know that no one likes me! They are either pointing fingers at me behind my back, or they are chasing after the wind and shadows! You don't care about me, don't you allow me to find my own way?! ”

"When did I leave you alone?!" The anger that had barely been suppressed came back, and Li Yan grabbed An Youran, who was about to run out, and said angrily, "You girl, how can I break my word even if I say to protect you!" Is what I Li Yan said so unbelievable!? What kind of way out are you going to make money! ”

"I make money for, for the sake of ......" desperately held his breath, An leisurely wanted to stop the tears from rising, but looking at Li Yan's disappointed and reproachful eyes, all his efforts were in vain, "There is entanglement, I can go to you ......"

The grievances and fears that had accumulated for a long time shattered An Youran's strength that was easy to disguise like a huge wave, and the tears of Jingying were like pearls with broken threads, sliding down her beautiful face all the way, dripping on Li Yan's sleeves, "I know you're leaving again, right?" As long as the army is reorganized, you will not hesitate to wave your army north, attack the city and seize the land to gain the initiative. I don't want to be left here alone, and I don't want to be separated from you. Since you can't take me with you, I'll go find you myself......"

"You raise money...... Are you looking for me? Grabbing the girl's fingers suddenly trembled, Li Yan looked at An Youran, who was already full of tears in front of him, and the haze dissipated in an instant in the dark clouds of his pupils, and he pressed An Youran heavily on his chest, "Silly girl, how can you be so stupid!" ”

"I'm a fool!" Both aggrieved and ashamed, unwilling and angry, An Youran's heart at this time was superimposed with contradictions, under all kinds of chaos, she simply didn't do anything, and let go of the ruthless ploppy road, "And he is also a stupid person who goes all the way to the black!" Since I have identified you, no matter if you are at the ends of the world, whether you are happy or not, I will pester you and annoy you! Who made you okay and provoked me?! So don't try to be perfunctory, give me the money now! ”

"No way!" But in the face of her agitation, Li Yan seemed to turn a blind eye, he spread his hands, and the corners of his eyebrows and lips were faintly springy and refused, "I give you silver, you can't use it!" I think this so-called salary should be put aside for the time being, lest you forget to take it and add to the blockage in your heart! ”

"Don't bluff me!" Apricot eyes widened angrily, and An said leisurely, "How can I lose three or four?" You clearly just want to owe money and not pay it back! ”

"Yes!" The enchanting eyes bent, like the most beautiful crescent moon in the night sky, Li Yan smiled and said, "Because you have to clean up in half an hour, do you think that with your confused temperament, you can not leave things behind?!" ”

Blinking her big eyes that were still full of tears, An leisurely tilted her head and asked with a confused expression, "Why do I have to pack up my things?" ”

"Packing up your things is naturally leaving!" Leaning over and imprinting a faint kiss into the girl's eyebrows, Li Yan smiled at An and said, "Girl, I want to take you with me to go on the expedition!" ”
