Chapter 150: Garden Encounter
With the influence of Fang Hao's spatial array technique, Lin Xun recovered quickly, and he could get out of bed the next day, and after about three days, the pain on his body was mostly reduced, but he still had to pretend to be seriously injured, so as not to be suspected by people with bad intentions.
After three days of silence, Lin Xun began to go out, but only out of this room, and he had to pretend that he had just gone to the ground.
Lin Xun came to walk outside the room, sometimes sitting on the steps and looking at the sky. His series of actions were actually exploring the surroundings, as he expected, his surroundings were covered with eyeliner, he didn't know who these people were, but he knew that there must be people from the Lan Mansion among these people, who were sent by the master of the Lan Mansion, the imperial historian Lan Haisheng, and the eldest lady Lan Junzhi might know.
According to Lin Xun's speculation, since Lan Haisheng is suspicious of himself and is monitoring himself so carefully, shouldn't he come to see me, a devil in the rivers and lakes? Why has there been no movement? Could it be that he wants to capture me to relax my vigilance and arrest me after I have made a move?
Lin Xun thought about all kinds of possibilities, and in the end, for the sake of insurance, under the supervision of these people, he was honest.
He walked alone outside the room, and from time to time he also played the Tongtian Fist taught by the fat man.
"It's not bad to be fit, for someone like me who is seriously injured. ”
Lin Xun moved into the distance while playing Tongtian Fist, but there was no suspicious move.
Gradually, Lin Xun walked out of the door of this courtyard, just as curious, wanting to see the Lan Mansion, Lin Xun showed a look of appreciation, and praised and nodded at the sculpture or the garden.
After Lin Xun left the courtyard gate, no one came out to stop him. Lin Xun was already able to use a weak spell at this time, and he could sense that as he went out here, some people in the rear consciously followed, but it seemed that these people who were following were not all the way, and were divided into several groups.
After all, the people who are following can't use spells like Lin Xun, they all just have the agility of the regular rivers and lakes, but this kind of technique is not seamless, when they move, although they try not to make a sound, but behind Lin Xun, there is still a "rustle" sound of leaves rubbing.
These sounds are very similar to the usual sound of the wind blowing leaves, but in Lin Xun's ears, it is different, and he can find the clues.
Lin Xun pretended not to know, and at the same time walked very slowly, he was not familiar with this place, this was the first time, and the backyard of this Lan Mansion was too big, twists and turns, Lin Xun unconsciously got lost.
"Isn't it, so back?" He was really subdued by himself, he came out to investigate the situation, why did he get lost?
Although he did get lost, he still had to continue pretending, after all, there was such a group of "audiences" behind him.
Lin Xun could only grope by himself, after a long time, he still couldn't get out of this Lin Garden, he complained a little, and even suspected that this was a trap set by the Lan Mansion for him, as long as he went out, he could only get lost.
In desperation, Lin Xun could only walk around, and every time he walked to the position he walked through, he changed a direction and moved forward again.
Under the autumn wind, it is not hot, but Lin Xun walked slowly, and the people behind him followed slowly, and they had to change their positions like this, without making any movement, which was really difficult for them.
It was not Lin Xun who was tired, but the "follower" behind him.
"Why does he keep going around in circles here?" a person who was following him stared at Lin Xun and whispered to the person next to him.
"Has he discovered where we are and wants to get rid of us?"
"With this possibility, I've noticed that it's not just us who are following him, there are other people, and even if we don't show the flaws, there is no guarantee that they will be foolproof. ”
"It makes sense, we have to keep up, don't let him dump him, and at the same time not be exposed. ”
"Understood. ”
These people are strong-willed, they are people from Lan Mansion, and they are under Lan Haisheng's order to monitor Lin Xun day and night.
Suddenly, one of them said strangely, "I look at him, why does he look like he's lost?"
Hit the nail on the head, and as soon as these words came out, the surrounding air suddenly fell silent.
"This ...... It seems to be. ”
The leader thought about it carefully and said, "We said before that he may have found the stalker and wanted to get rid of it, so he may have pretended to be lost." ”
"I get it, whether he's pretending to be or not, he's going to have to go around in circles. ”
"Well, exactly, so to be on the safe side, I have an idea to crack this game. ”
"Brother Wu, please speak. ”
"We need somebody to go and pretend to meet him here, and then tell him the right way to go, and get him out of here, and this game will be solved. ”
"It's a good idea, but who's going to go?"
The leader looked at the few people around him, and their eyes were focused on him at this time.
He sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go." ”
"That's right, only if Brother Wu goes to be foolproof. ”
"Don't pat yourself on the back, I'm going, you guys keep an eye on me in the back. ”
"That's natural, following Brother Wu for so long, we naturally know what to do. ”
"That's good. ”
After saying that, the leader slowly left. Lin Xun wandered around here for a long time, but he still couldn't get out, and in desperation, he could only sit on a stone pier to rest.
Soon, a person appeared in front of him, and the person also showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw him, and then he was slightly stunned and slowly walked towards Lin Xun.
"Are you ......?" the man asked.
"I'm a newcomer to Lan Mansion, my name is Tang Xun. Lin Xun thought about it, in this environment, he still has to use this name.
"Could it be that you are the devil of the rivers and lakes who openly provoked the prince of Jiafu?"
Lin Xun smiled slightly and said, "See me, that's my identity in a hurry." ”
"Oh? It wasn't true. ”
"Yes, I was in a hurry, so I came out, by the way, you are also from Lanfu, were you present that day?"
Lin Xun's words were meant to be tempting, and how could that person not know?
He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Tang, haven't you forgotten, I was the leader of the Lanfu team that day, and because of the constraints of my identity, I couldn't make a move against the prince of Jiafu, thanks to Brother Tang." I don't think Brother Tang will take people like me in his eyes. ”
"You said it funny, hearing you say this, I seem to remember, at that time, I heard someone shouting 'Brother Wu', is that you?"
"It's under the line, I didn't expect Brother Tang to pay so much attention to details. ”
"You are very loyal to the Lan Mansion, presumably you also have an important position in the Lan Mansion, right?" Lin Xun tried again.
"Brother Tang praised it falsely, I may be about to disappoint Brother Tang, I am in Lan Mansion, and I am just a small captain of the guard. The man smiled humbly.
"Is that all?" Lin Xun asked casually.
"So what does Brother Tang think?"
"I think your talent deserves a higher position. Lin Xun was blunt.
"How does Brother Tang know my talent?"
"Oh, it was really shocking to see you sacrifice yourself to protect them for the Lan Mansion that day. ”
"It's a contemptible thing, and I ought to be. ”
"By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
"My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Ruofeng. ”
"Fortunately. ”
Wu Ruofeng nodded, and then asked, "What is Brother Tang doing here?"
"Oh, I came out for a walk, and before I knew it, I was here, and I'm ashamed to say that I'm lost here. ”
"I see, I heard that Brother Tang was tortured after being arrested by Jiafu, and he didn't have a good rest in the room, how could he get here?"
"Captain Wu may not know that I am a person who can't sit still by nature, and if I stay in one place for too long, it will get moldy. I lay in my room for three days, and I was finally able to go down to the ground today. ”
"It seems that we are also destined, I have nothing to do today, so I want to walk around, and I came here unconsciously. ”
"yes, that's really too late to see each other. Now that Captain Wu is here, please take me out. ”
"For trivial matters, Brother Tang doesn't have to see outside. ”
"I'm tired. ”
"Let's go. ”
Wu Ruofeng led the way in front, Lin Xun slowed down, and followed behind, and unconsciously the two were separated by a large distance. During this period, Wu Ruofeng naturally knew the distance between the two, but he didn't look back, pretending not to know.
"Wu, Captain Wu, you better wait for me. Lin Xun squeezed out a sweat behind him and said breathlessly.
Wu Ruofeng turned around at this time, made an apology, and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't think it through, you are still a person covered in injuries, I didn't take into account your feelings." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Lin Xun struggled to keep up.
Wu Ruofeng's move was to drag Lin Xun's injuries seriously, and to make his injuries heal more slowly, so that it would be more convenient to monitor him. But how could he have thought that Lin Xun borrowed Fang Hao's space array technique to form another space in his body, and he could use the Jianghu technique, and naturally his injuries would only heal faster.
Lin Xun followed Wu Ruofeng, and soon, he saw the exit, which was where he came in.
"Alright, here we go. ”
"Thank you, Captain Wu, but I still have a question. ”
"Say it, please. Wu Ruofeng suddenly became vigilant.
"My residence, Captain Wu, has never been here, how do you know that I came in from here? Could it be that there is only one entrance and exit in this garden?"
Wu Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, obviously, he made a mistake and was not thoughtful.
Then he explained: "Actually, I heard that as a captain of the guard in the Lan Mansion, I can't live in the Lan Mansion alone, I don't know it." ”
"So that's the case, it seems that I misunderstood Captain Wu. Lin Xun smiled.
"Misunderstanding? Could it be that Brother Tang thought of me as some kind of filthy person?"
"It's not, it's just ......"
"Brother Tang has anything you can't say?"
"This is my guess, I'm afraid that I guessed wrong and made Captain Wu angry. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, Brother Tang is the one who has relieved the siege of us, how can I be angry with Brother Tang?"
"Okay, I said, I thought Captain Wu learned about it from Miss Lanfu. ”
"Miss, what does it have to do with her?" Wu Ruofeng suddenly became a little nervous.
"I thought Captain Wu and Miss Wu were a couple?"
Hearing Lin Xun say this, Wu Ruofeng blushed a little, and then said: "I'm just a little guard captain, how can I be worthy of the eldest lady?
"I saw you sacrifice your life for Lanfu that day, but then I thought about it, you are for her. ”
"This ...... No, Brother Tang was wrong. Wu Ruofeng retreated slightly, but quickly stabilized his mood.
"Well, just assume I'm wrong. ”
Suddenly, Wu Ruofeng sighed and said, "It's a pity that such a good girl as the eldest lady is going to marry the only son of Jiafu." ”
"What? That hasn't stopped? I wasn't ...... that day."
"Yes, although you came out to block this matter that day, but you only blocked the prince of Jiafu, in fact, this matter is not up to the younger generation, it is decided by Lord Yushi and Lord Prime Minister. ”
Wu Ruofeng and Lin Xun have talked about it until now, and only this matter is from the bottom of their hearts, and Lin Xun is the same.
"Then Lord Yushi just watched his daughter marry such a gentleman?"
"Naturally, I don't want to, but I can't help it, the Prime Minister has his own way to force Lord Yushi to agree. ”
"Is it the mediocre emperor?"
"Brother Tang, please be cautious. Wu Ruofeng looked around, although he knew that there were people all around.
"I'm sorry, I lost my word. ”
"I'll assume I didn't hear it. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Actually, the fact that you were able to get out of prison has something to do with it. ”
"What? Could it be that the prime minister still threatens me? Then Lord Yushi shouldn't agree for me?"
"I only know that they met in private once, and I don't know what they talked about, and after that, you were released. ”
"If it really has anything to do with me, then I'm a burden. ”
"Brother Tang, please want to open a little, it's nothing, I'll leave first. ”
"Walk slowly. ”
After Wu Ruofeng left, Lin Xun returned to the room, he believed that Wu Ruofeng would not lie to himself about such a big matter as the marriage of the two Jia Lan families, if what he said was true, then he would be guilty, such a good girl, to marry Jia Guangguang's kid?
Lin Xun kept thinking about this in the room, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, his past had already had regrets, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past now.
After thinking about it, he decided to go to Lan Junzhi to ask about the situation.
When the food delivery person came, Lin Xun expressed his request to see Lan Junzhi, and then the news came out, but instead of taking him to see him, Lan Junzhi came in person.
"How dare you bother the eldest lady to come to see me in person, I really can't stand it. Lin Xun couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Lan Junzhi treating people so sincerely, he really had a trace of impulse and wanted to confess everything to Lan Junzhi, but he still had a bad heart, after all, the capital was too complicated, even if Lan Junzhi could defend it, it was not necessarily possible for the people around her to be able to.
"What's the matter with you, you still want to see me?" Lan Junzhi said and poured a cup of tea for Lin Xun.
At this time, Lin Xun was still lying on the bed, pretending to be seriously injured.
"I have something to ask you. Lin Xun took the teacup.
"Say it. ”
"Are you going to marry Jia Guangguang?"
Lan Junzhi looked at Lin Xun squarely and said, "Yes." ”
"Is it because you want to save me?"
"It's not. ”
"What's the reason for that?"
"Nothing, just a marriage between two families. ”
"Then you willingly marry him?"
"Anyway, I always have to get married, who is the same to marry?"
"It's different, shouldn't you marry someone you like?"
"Someone you like? Unfortunately, I don't. ”
"How is that possible?"
"Nothing is impossible, I am willing to marry Jia Guangguang, this, no matter what you do, is there anything else?" Although Lan Junzhi's tone was very firm, she spoke extremely gently.
"Well, I'm fine. Lin Xun was still a little sorry in the end.
