Chapter 681: Under the Stars
Liu Tang was worried about frightening Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang, so he did not find out Lu Yifan's true identity, but only flashed his words as an old friend. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang, the two brothers and sisters, were simple and simple, so naturally they didn't think much about it, but Lu Yifan and Liu Tang were colleagues in the Border Guard Mansion. And Lu Yifan also decided to leave Northern Xinjiang after solving this absurd marriage for Liu Zitang. As for where you are going, you should probably go to Jinling City to find Han Ling'er first!
Late at night, Lu Yifan lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he simply flew up to the roof, looked up at the starry sky in the northern Xinjiang, and looked at the endless sky of the sky, in order to express the depression in his heart. At this moment, in Lu Yifan's mind, every word Liu Tang said today always lingered, making him think a lot of thoughts and feel melancholy.
"Ling'er, Brother Liu, Ji Yuan...... Where the hell are you now? Do you know I'm still alive, or do you think I'm dead......" Lu Yifan looked up at the night sky and muttered to himself, a thick haze shrouded between his eyebrows.
"You don't sleep in your room so late, what are you doing climbing so high?"
Suddenly, a crisp voice full of doubts came from the courtyard, Lu Yifan looked for prestige, and saw Liu Zitang standing in the courtyard at the moment looking up at himself.
"I've been sleeping for more than half a year, how can I sleep?" Lu Yifan explained with a faint smile, "It's getting late, Miss Liu, let's hurry up and rest!"
Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Liu Zitang frowned slightly, and said: "The wind in the Zhuo Wolf Grassland is biting cold at night, you should not blow the wind on it when you are recovering from a serious illness, otherwise it will not be good to suffer from the wind cold." Lu Yifan looked at Liu Zitang with a sincere face, and couldn't help but be moved by the kindness of this simple girl, and said with a smile: "Miss Lao Liu bothered, but I have already recovered, and I will go back to sleep later." ”
Seeing Lu Yifan's repeated insistence, Liu Zitang no longer persuaded him, but pursed his lips and nodded lightly, muttering to himself: "Actually, I can't sleep either, I feel very sad when I think that my father will marry me to a seventy-year-old man." Lu Yifan comforted: "Miss Liu, don't worry, your father has listened to my persuasion and will not force you to marry Chang Xu again." Liu Zitang smiled slightly, her eyes were like two rounds of crescent moon when she laughed, very beautiful. Lu Yifan was full of sorrow and had no intention of chatting with Liu Zitang, and was about to turn his head to look away, but Liu Zitang suddenly said, "I...... Can I go up and sit with you for a while? I can't sleep anyway, and I didn't know that that place could be a daze. Saying that, Liu Zitang also stretched out his hand and pointed to the ridge where Lu Yifan was sitting. Lu Yifan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then chuckled: "Of course, this is your home, of course you can come up." ”
Liu Zitang's originally slightly nervous face suddenly burst into a smile after hearing Lu Yifan's promise, and then looked left and right for a long time, as if he was looking for something. Lu Yifan asked curiously, "What is Miss Liu looking for?" Liu Zitang replied with a serious face: "Ladder! How did you climb up without a ladder?"
Lu Yifan smiled dumbly, and was about to wave his hand to use his soul power to bring Liu Zitang up, but he thought that if he showed too amazing cultivation, he might scare Liu Zitang, so he raised his eyebrows, turned around and pointed to a few bamboo poles that were once used to drive sheep standing next to the house, and said with a smile: "I climbed up along that one." Liu Zitang walked to the bamboo pole, looked up and down for a long time and didn't know where to start, Lu Yifan reached out and grabbed the top of a bamboo pole, and said, "You grasp the bottom, I'll drag you up." ”
Liu Zitang hesitated suspiciously for a moment, and then reached out and grabbed the lower end of the bamboo pole tightly, Lu Yifan asked, "Catch it?" Liu Zitang first looked at his hands holding the bamboo pole, and then raised his head to look at Lu Yifan, and nodded solemnly. Lu Yifan smiled slightly, and then lifted his wrist up slightly, the long bamboo pole suddenly rose to the sky, Liu Zitang also flew up with the flying of the bamboo pole, Liu Zitang never expected that all this would come so suddenly, Liu Zitang in mid-air subconsciously let out a soft cry, his hands were powerless under the weight of his body, and the whole person flew away from the bamboo pole and threw it towards the ground. Lu Yifan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, reached out and grabbed the end of the bamboo pole that flew into the sky, and then gently threw the bamboo pole towards Liu Zitang's body that had lost its center of gravity, and the bamboo pole was just under Liu Zitang's willow waist impartially, and at the same time, a soft soul power also completely supported Liu Zitang's body along the bamboo pole, Lu Yifan's wrist was slightly raised, and Liu Zitang's body slid horizontally to the roof along the slightly inclined bamboo pole, and when he got close, Lu Yifan reached out and pulled Liu Zitang's jade arm, and Liu Zitang was already sitting firmly on the roof.
"Miss Liu, are you ...... Are you okay?" Lu Yifan looked at the frightened Liu Zitang and asked softly with a slight apology, "Miss Liu?"
"Huh?" After a while, Liu Zitang suddenly came back to his senses, first let out an exclamation in his mouth, and looked left and right for a long time, until he saw that he had indeed sat peacefully on the roof, and then he let out a sigh of relief, reaching out and patting his chest constantly, as if to soothe his nervous and panicked heart. Everything happened just now, and Liu Zitang didn't know how he came up in the end.
"Seeing that your body is not very burly, your strength is quite large. After stabilizing her mind, Liu Zitang praised Lu Yifan, and then she turned her beautiful eyes and saw a wine jug placed at Lu Yifan's feet, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?
"Lord Liu Qi said that this is a good wine that he has treasured for many years, and he took it out for me to taste. Lu Yifan said, picked up the wine jug, raised his head, and took a big sip. Liu Zitang shook his head in disbelief and said: "You guys are really messing around, how can you drink now? Blowing the night breeze and drinking, I think you don't want to be healed, how can there be a person in the world who has just come back from the ghost gate to toss himself like this?"
"Who said that people who have just recovered from a serious injury can't drink?" Lu Yifan asked curiously. Liu Zitang said: "The old people in the village all say that people who have just recovered from a serious illness should recuperate well in their rooms, and they can't see the wind, drink, eat spicy food, or catch a cold......
"So you will also cover me tightly with a quilt in the hot summer?" Lu Yifan seemed to remember the bedding stacked on the bed he saw when he just woke up, and couldn't help laughing, "It makes me smell of sweat." Liu Zitang pouted and said, "Who said that? I asked my eldest brother to wipe your body with water every day, how can there be a smell of sweat?"
"Haha......" Lu Yifan couldn't help laughing when he saw that Liu Zitang couldn't hear his jokes, and he explained so solemnly.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Liu Zitang puzzled.
"I'm laughing at Miss Liu's ability to listen to the old people like this. Lu Yifan said, "I don't dare to disobey at all." So I guess you've never done anything bold when you're this big, like climbing on the roof and sitting?"
"Don't you always call me before Miss Liu, okay?" Liu Zitang said dissatisfiedly, "My name is Liu Zitang, you can call me Zitang! What about you? What is your name?"
"My name is ......" Lu Yifan wanted to say that his name was Lu Yifan, but after thinking about Liu Tang's worries, he hurriedly changed his words, "My name is Ming Tian'er." ”
"Shen Tian'er?" Liu Zitang looked at Lu Yifan suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "Is it a real name?"
Lu Yifan was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?
"No one else will lie to me except my dad. Liu Zitang swore and said, "My father said that you are his friend, so I guess you will lie to me too." Lu Yifan found that although Liu Zitang was dissatisfied with Liu Tang when he mentioned Liu Tang, he was still very kind in his bones, and the kind of intimacy that blood is thicker than water cannot be disguised. Lu Yifan smiled: "I didn't lie to you, I am indeed a hell of a child." Lu Yifan's words are true, this is the first time he has told an outsider his "true" identity.
"I believe in you. Liu Zitang squinted at Lu Yifan and showed a charming smile, "I also think that you are different from my father, you are a few years older than me, why don't I call you Brother Tian?"
"You can call me by name, you saved my life, and how dare you hold it up in front of you......"
"Let's call Brother Tian!" Liu Zitang didn't pay attention to Lu Yifan's politeness at all, and decided this matter himself, "The old people said that the young and the old should be orderly, how can they not understand the random shouting of etiquette?"
Looking at Liu Zitang, who was talking about things, Lu Yifan didn't want to say anything more, but nodded undeniably.
"Brother Tian, how did you and my father meet?" Liu Zitang said the question that he had been hesitant for a long time, "I think he seems to respect you very much, I have never seen my father respect outsiders so much, and you are still so young." ”
"Isn't the relationship between you and your father very bad?" Lu Yifan asked rhetorically, "Since the relationship is not good, how do you know what your father looks like to outsiders?"
Hearing that Lu Yifan rebelled against his army, Liu Zitang couldn't help muttering: "After all, we have lived together for more than ten years, and I still know a little bit about what kind of person my father is." Then a curious glint flashed in her eyes, and she asked with interest, "Brother Tian, was my father your subordinate before?"
"Men?" Seeing that Liu Zitang had a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Lu Yifan also had to find an excuse to prevaricate, "Sort of! I used to be the flag master of the Border Guard Mansion, and your father was not at that time." Lu Yifan's words are not lies, when Xi Chen was the governor of Northern Xinjiang, he did indeed be the flag master of the Border Guard Mansion.
"I guess it is!" Liu Zitang looked like he had already guessed, pouted and nodded, "My father is only like this for people with a higher status than him...... So respectful. ”
Lu Yifan seemed to hear a hint of extraneous sound, raised his eyebrows, and asked softly: "Are you still resentful of your father for marrying you to Chang Xu as a concubine?"
"That's not a promise, it's a daughter. Lu Yifan really guessed Liu Zitang's knot at the moment, Liu Zitang said angrily, "That Chang Xu is already over seventy years old, how can my father sacrifice me to someone who can be my grandfather in order to keep his position?"
"There are many things in the government that are actually involuntarily, maybe Chang Xu is threatening your father's life, or Chang Xu is threatening some other things that your father values very much, in short, I believe that Lord Liu Qi must have his last resort when he marries you to Chang Xu. Lu Yifan persuaded and did not persuade to separate, and he could only say some good things for Liu Tang as much as possible.
Liu Zitang snorted lightly and didn't seem to want to talk too much about Liu Tang, but she raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "I heard Liu Er say that Master Chang Xu is the governor of the Northern Xinjiang Frontier Guard, so since he wants to marry me as a concubine, how did you persuade my father to reject him?
"Being a big official doesn't mean being lawless. Lu Yifan said, "Even if he is the emperor of the Holy Domain, he can't force others to marry him, the first thing to talk about marriage is your will, if you can take it by force by power, then wouldn't the Holy Domain have already been chaotic?"
"The old people in the village all say that the people don't fight with officials, my father is an official, and even he is afraid of that Chang Xu Dudu, how can you not be afraid of him, Brother Tian?" Liu Zitang still knew a little about Lu Yifan's affairs, and Lu Yifan could see that until this moment, she was still worried about tomorrow's things in her heart. Lu Yifan knew that if he couldn't give her a reasonable explanation, Liu Zitang's heart would not be able to settle down.
"Are you afraid of Chang Xu?" asked Lu Yifan.
"He is the biggest official in Northern Xinjiang, who is not afraid of him?" Liu Zitang said helplessly, she also supported her head with her hand as she spoke, and said with a melancholy face, "If I were Lu Yifan, then I don't have to be afraid of him." ”
"Oh!" Lu Yifan suddenly realized, "It turns out that you worship Lu Yifan because he is not afraid of these big officials?"
"Of course!" As soon as Lu Yifan was mentioned, Liu Zitang suddenly became interested, stared at Lu Yifan excitedly with a pair of clear big eyes, and said, "If I knew Lu Yifan, then this Chang Xu Governor would not dare to do such a shameless thing." ”
Lu Yifan retorted: "If there is no Lu Yifan, you don't have to be afraid of him." There are a few people in the world who know Lu Yifan, so don't other people who don't know Lu Yifan want to live......?
Liu Zitang shook his head and said: "If you don't know Lu Yifan, you can know Han Ling'er, and you can know other powerful big people, isn't this the case in the world? The government has officials to protect each other, aren't we ordinary people also comparing with each other the backers we can find behind them? Even if it is a relationship that cannot be beaten by eight poles, as long as we can say it, it is a kind of pride to be proud of." ”
Lu Yifan looked hopeless, shook his head and said: "Instead of groveling to find a backer, why can't you work hard to be someone else's backer?"
Liu Zitang nodded and said: "This is the difference between ordinary people and big people like Lu Yifan, which is essentially different." ”
Lu Yifan looked at Liu Zitang mentioning Lu Yifan's longing gaze, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, and comforted: "Don't worry, I can persuade your father to push off this marriage because of my ...... I know the officials of Jinling City, and ...... The relationship is not bad, so Chang Xu doesn't dare to offend me, and he will definitely listen to me and not accept you as a concubine. Lu Yifan found a reason to prevaricate, and after saying a word, it was intermittent several times, but fortunately, Liu Zitang did not hear this kind of lame excuse abnormally, but believed it to be true, and finally showed a reassuring smile on his face.
Lu Yifan habitually sighed again, and then took another sip of wine with the wine jug.
"I can actually know the big official of Jinling City, Brother Tian, I'm really curious about what kind of person you used to be?" Liu Zitang said faintly, and when he spoke, a pair of curious eyes kept looking Lu Yifan up and down.
"Who? Like you, they're all from the Sanctuary. Lu Yifan replied with a wry smile.
"No, you're not like us!"
As soon as Liu Zitang's words came out, Lu Yifan's heart also sank suddenly.
