Chapter Twenty-Three: Like a Flower or Not a Flower (Part I)
The familiar title was like the most terrifying nightmare, making An Youran's mind blank, and her body stood in place and couldn't move. Fortunately, Xiao Suchen did not waver in the slightest from this sudden change, he turned around calmly, hugged An Youran and wanted to disappear into the chaotic crowd.
Who knew that someone was moving faster than him, and before Xiao Suchen could take a step, he had already slapped him on the shoulder with one hand. "Su Chen, didn't you hear me shouting!? I was so worried about your disappearance, I didn't expect to meet you here! ”
At this time, An Youran's face changed slightly from fright, she subconsciously just wanted to escape from the current place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and she didn't care that Xiao Suchen had already been tripped up by someone, and she forcibly wanted to leave. His wrist suddenly tightened, and he quickly looked down to see that it was Xiao Suchen who secretly pulled him.
"I don't know who this brother is?" The usually soft and clear voice has become extremely indifferent at the moment. Xiao Suchen looked coldly at the person blocking the road in front of him, the slightest chill in his tone, there was a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, "We met for the first time, why did you stop me from going?" ”
"What are you kidding!? I'm Downing! Don't you know me?! "It turns out that the one who plays the role of a roadblock at this moment is Fa Xiao-Tang Ning, who grew up with An Youran and Xiao Suchen in the Jinwang Mansion.
was furious by Xiao Suchen's strangeness, Tang Ning was so angry that his face was red, and he even pulled Xiao Suchen's clothes and refused to let go, "Bastard, what are you pretending!" We've worked together for so many years, and we've slept in the same room, how could I not recognize you! Why did you say goodbye? Did You Know? After you and Xiao An disappeared at the same time, what kind of uproar was set off? You are considered to be the perpetrators of the treacherous plot, and you are wanted by the whole country! I know that you and Xiao An are by no means the kind of people who are rebellious, there must be some misunderstanding, you better hurry back to Rongnan and tell the truth to the prince! ”
He was emotional and incoherent, but his concern was palpable. As if looking for something, Tang Ning poked his head, looked around at the crowd, and asked anxiously, "Why are you the only one?" What about the Eight Precepts? Where are the others? Are you okay? Don't be afraid, the prince has always been open-minded and reasonable, as long as the misunderstanding is explained clearly, I believe you two will be fine! There is no need to be in a foreign land and suffer from displacement! ”
He was obviously standing in front of Tang Ning, why was he still asking Xiao Suchen about the whereabouts of 'Bajie'? Although An Youran lowered his head deeply for fear of being recognized, his ears unambiguously collected all kinds of information that came. Don't......
An Youran's heart suddenly lit up, and he raised his head to look at Xiao Suchen, just in time to look at him with a gesture of his chin. Yes! When he was doing Bajie in King Jin's Mansion, not only was his appearance extremely obscene, but even his gender was reversed Yin and Yang, so thoroughly disguised, it is estimated that even the mother of this body would have to ask when she saw it: 'Whoareyou?' What's more, now I am wearing an embroidered skirt, with long hair fluttering, although my face is darkened, but compared with the original, it is definitely like two people, and I don't have to worry about being recognized at all! Recklessness can attract attention and invite unnecessary trouble.
Compared with himself, Xiao Suchen's situation is more dangerous, he didn't make much disguise when he was in King Jin's Mansion, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is similar to Su Chen, not to mention Tang Ning, who has been with him for many years? How will he get out?
However, An Youran's worries were obviously superfluous, Xiao Suchen's psychological quality was obviously not a star and a half higher than her, but a world of difference, although Tang Ning was sure that it was Su Chen, his face still did not change and his heart did not beat, and he asked calmly, "Are you looking for someone?" He is a native of Lingbei, who has never been out of the country, nor has he had any dealings with people from the Great Yu Kingdom! Did you recognize the wrong person? ”
When he spoke, his tone was sincere and his eyes were sincere, if he didn't know the truth, even An Youran would feel that what he said was true. So for a while, Tang Ning couldn't help but re-examine the 'stranger' in front of him who looked exactly the same as Su Chen: his face was like Shunhua, his bearing was extraordinary, although he was not dressed in fine clothes, it was difficult to hide his peerless elegance and pride in the world, which made Tang Ning, who was originally full of confidence, frown in confusion.
Seeing Tang Ning's expression, he already knew that he had questioned his judgment, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and squeezed Xiao Suchen's palm hard.
Xiao Suchen understood her intentions, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he put on a faint smile, turned to Tang Ning and said, "If Brother Tai has nothing else to do, I still have something to do, please forgive me for taking the next step!" ”
Although there were still doubts in his heart, since the other party kept claiming that he didn't know each other, Tang Ning had no other way but to let go and make way sideways. An Youran and Xiao Suchen naturally didn't want to stay any longer, and they left without hesitation.
However, at this moment, a blocking voice sounded in the air behind him, "Wait!" ”
This voice is familiar and unforgettable, this voice is cold and beautiful, how many nights have it sounded in dreams? An Youran felt as if her heart had been stabbed by something, and the pain was so painful that she almost wanted to stop breathing.
The strange thing is that with the cold voice, the originally noisy scene also became silent in an instant, and everyone looked at the man in white who jumped off the carriage in a daze as if they were enchanted, with seven points of obsession and three points of intoxication, and more of them were inexplicably shocked.
Knowing that he couldn't see it, he knew that he shouldn't see it, but An Youran still couldn't control his stupid look at the man who was walking towards him...... Every step he takes seems to have stepped into her heart, and every step he takes seems to pull her into the endless abyss, allowing her to return to the black labyrinth called ** love.
His hands trembled slightly involuntarily, An Ran's abnormality attracted Xiao Suchen's attention, and there seemed to be a trace of gloom flashing in his clear watery eyes, and a bad premonition hit his heart, so that his face, which had always been calm, also revealed a faint melancholy.
And An Youran on the side was completely unaware of Xiao Suchen's changes, her eyes and her heart had been filled with the haunting figure, so that she had no time to take care of anything else.
He's coming...... It's still so overwhelming, and it's still so unstained. It is as beautiful as the moonlight in the night sky, as if it can be reached but can never be touched...... That man who is like a fairy and should only exist in dreams!
"Master!" Tang Ning's salute brought back An Ran's chaotic thoughts in a timely manner, and she shrank back and retreated behind Xiao Suchen.
Ignoring Tang Ning's kneeling, Li Yan's amber eyes looked aggressively at Xiao Suchen in front of him, and his beautiful eyes were half full of cold light, "Su Chen...... What about the Eight Precepts? ”
