When the early sun completely climbed the peak, shone down, and projected onto Jielan's face, she felt the smell of warm sunlight, and slowly woke up, she looked at the reddish sky, a little surprised, and looked at the surrounding environment, she was in the wilderness, she didn't know what was going on, and immediately sat up from the stone slab, a little flustered in her heart. When she saw the black pig and Chengfeng beside her, Jielan's frightened heart slowly settled down. Seeing that she was awake, the black pig hurriedly asked, "Blue, how are you feeling?" ”

Jielan ignored the black pig's question, and was very surprised that she was suddenly here, she stood up with her somewhat tired and heavy body, and asked, "What is this place?" How did we get here? ”

Qi Xue and Black Pig were silent, not knowing whether to say that Chengfeng wanted to take her back to prevent her from going to the royal city, if they did, I am afraid that Jielan and Chengfeng would inevitably have a dislike again. When he was hesitating, he heard Chengfeng say: "I want to take you out of here, the farther away from the royal city as possible, it is better to find a place where no one can find us, and live our comfortable life in peace?" Do you think I'm wrong? ”

Hearing such words suddenly, Jielan didn't react a little, and after she was stunned for a moment, she said in disbelief: "You... What did you just say? Let me not go to the royal city? Seeing that Chengfeng's ice-carved face had no meaning of justification, Jielan was very angry in her heart, and said, "So the reason why I'm in this kind of place now is because you said that you want to stop me from going to the royal city and take me away while I'm unconscious, right?" ”

Seeing Jielan's expression, Chengfeng had already understood her choice, Chengfeng exhaled, nodded, and said, "Yes, I don't want you to go to the royal city." ”

Jielan was a little incredulous, she looked at Chengfeng and was silent for a long time before she slowly asked, "Why?" ”

"I don't want you to die." Chengfeng said bluntly.

Hearing this, Jielan smiled coldly, for some reason in her heart, a kind of pain made her feel very uncomfortable, she took a few steps back, as if she didn't want to see Chengfeng who didn't know her so much, she only said: "Death for me, I don't care at all, do you know what I have worked so hard to go through so many disasters all the way?" I thought you chose to stay with me because you understood me and were willing to help me, but now I know that you don't know me at all. Jielan complained in frustration that the reason why she was so sad was because she had already regarded Chengfeng as a part of herself, she felt that Chengfeng was like her left and right hand, she knew her thoughts and was willing to understand her thoughts, but it turned out that she was wrong.

Qi Xue didn't want Jielan to misunderstand Chengfeng, so she hurriedly walked over, pulled Jielan's arm, and persuaded: "It's not like this, Lan, Feng is just worried about you, he is afraid that something will happen to you, so he will do this, you don't know, when you were brought back by Qingzhan, how worried we were, we were all afraid of losing you!" ”

Jielan knew their kindness, but Jielan needed more than just such care, but really cared about her thoughts, she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, turned her back, and said: "I can only say, I want to go to the royal city no matter what, if you don't want to go with me, I won't force you to stay, after all, it's a matter of personal life and death, and I don't want you to follow me to take risks." ”

This sentence made the black pig and several of them angry, and the black pig reproached loudly: "Blue, how can you say that? How many of us will be greedy for life and afraid of death, we will follow you willingly, and we will not care about our own lives at all, if you say this, it will hurt everyone. ”

Jielan still couldn't help but shed tears, she understood that everyone standing here was devoted to her, and she couldn't repay them anything, Jielan turned around, forced a smile, and said, "I know, I know, but this is also your will, isn't it?" If you are still willing to follow me, I am grateful in this life, but if you want to go, I will not stop you, but please don't change my own will, okay? ”

Hearing Jielan's words, the hearts of the Black Pig and the Black Pig also became firm, the Black Pig and Qi Xue walked to Jielan's side, one held her right hand, the other held her left hand, and they both smiled and gave the answer in their hearts, and the wind in front of him, under the projection of the sun, flickered and dimmed, he just said coldly: "Then you have to remember that after going to the royal city, there will be another road with a different fate in front of you, if you want to escape at that time, I will no longer pay attention." ”

Jielan didn't know what Cheng Feng's words meant, so she only said that he said about the white-robed guest, and she replied: "Don't worry, I will never escape." ”

Chengfeng exhaled deeply, he sat down on the white mink on the side, stretched out his hand to Jielan, and said, "Someone is still waiting for you at the Water Moon Inn, don't you want to see him?" When he said this, Cheng Feng had obvious anger under his words, but he tried his best to endure it, after all, the woman he cared about was brought to another man's side again, how could he not care?

Jielan was stunned for a moment, and then guessed that what he said should be Qingzhan, Jielan happened to have a lot of questions to ask him, so she hurriedly grabbed Chengfeng's hand and got on the back of the mink. And Qi Xue summoned his own snow crane, carried the black pig, and returned to the town together.

Around the same time, a few people returned to the town again, and found the Water Moon Inn, Jielan asked the shopkeeper Qingzhan and the others for the room number, and the shopkeeper ordered Xiao Er to take them there. Thinking of seeing this man again, Jielan was a little nervous, she took a deep breath, and then pushed the door in, when she entered, she happened to see Qing Zhan wearing a shirt, he looked back and saw Jielan, and smiled: "I thought you would come to me at the latest in Chenshi, it seems that I miscalculated this time." ”

"You didn't miscalculate, I just had something else to do, so I came late." Jielan turned her head sideways and didn't look at Qing Zhan in clothes, so as not to be embarrassed. After Qing Zhan put on his clothes, he walked over, looked at Jielan, who was flushed, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say you didn't want to see me, and you didn't want me to follow you all the way? Why did you come to me again? ”

Jielan's face blushed even more, and she only said, "It's just that there are some things that need to be asked to you clearly, and I didn't come to see you specifically, so you don't need to be bothered." ”

"It should be that you say this that makes me feel very troubled, I can't imagine that you are so ruthless to me, I can't give up after I haven't seen you all night, and you actually say such things as soon as you come, doesn't it make me feel cold?" Although Qing Zhan teased her a little, what he said was also from his heart.

Qing Zhan was very close to Jielan, Jielan smelled the compelling breath from Qing Zhan's body, and her heart was pounding again, she had to take a step back and said, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you, you should know what I'm here for, please think about me, don't tease me again." ”

Qing Zhan originally wanted her to relax her anxious mood, but seeing Jielan like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to change, he said with a straight face: "Since you want to know, I will tell you what I can tell you, you ask!" ”

"Do you know that woman named Phantom Hime?" Jielan asked directly.

"I've only heard of it, but I haven't had much contact with it, but this time it's thanks to you that I can see her illusion skills, and it's really extraordinary." Qing Zhan's eyes sharpened a little when he mentioned this woman.

"Who is she? Why are you attacking me? "Jielan is already a little impatient.

Qing Zhan looked at Jielan who was so eager, and fell silent, maybe it was not the time yet, so he couldn't tell her the truth, so he only said: "She used to be a female apprentice of the ghost path, and she was a ruthless woman who was good at illusion, the next time I saw her, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky, as for why she attacked you, I don't know this, so I can't tell you." ”

"How could you not know, how would you let her go if you didn't know? Please tell me that this is very important to me, because it is very likely that she has something to do with the murder of my mother and the abduction of my friend, how can you hide it from me at such a time? Jielan always felt that it was impossible for Qing Zhan not to know the details of this woman, but he didn't want to tell him.

"Although I am a young monarch, but this is just an identity, it does not mean that I will be very clear about anything in this world, although my answer disappoints you, but there is no way to do it." Qing Zhan looked at the woman in front of him who was full of hatred, and there was a trace of pain in his heart, and he asked tentatively, "The person who killed your mother, do you hate him so much?" Do you have to put him to death? ”

Jielan never thought that Qing Zhan would ask such a ridiculous question, and she laughed miserably: "If your mother is killed in front of your eyes, will you not avenge her?" Would you not hate the man who killed your mother? ”

Looking at Jielan, whose eyes were full of anger, Qing Zhan's heart was also touched, and he was a little secretly sad, and replied, "What if you one day find that everything you see is illusory? Are you still hell-bent on revenge? ”

"Unreal?" Jielan laughed bitterly, "Have you ever felt the pain of your mother disappearing little by little before your eyes? I also want that everything is illusory, but isn't it, my mother died, my best friend was taken captive, including all the villagers in the village who was killed by the instigation of the Phantom Queen, and she was so evil that she turned Shuying like this, into a demon boy who lost her humanity, do you think I can not hate? Can I not hate? When Jielan said this, her hands were clenched very tightly, and the green tendons all over her body were exposed, which made people look a little shocking.

Qing Zhan didn't know how to answer Jielan's question, he only knew that Jielan's hatred had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it was probably too difficult to eliminate the hatred in her heart, but he didn't want to see Jielan get hurt, so he hugged Jielan in anger into his arms and said: "No matter what you think in your heart, I will protect you well and don't want you to be hurt, but sometimes I can't let go of my identity as a young monarch, and I can't let go of my responsibility as a young monarch, so I will do something to you that you are not willing to do, I know you will be sad and painful, But I'm a little helpless, but from this day forward, I promise that I won't let you be hurt in the slightest. ”

Lying in Qing Zhan's arms, Jielan's burning heart of hatred gradually calmed down. Maybe such a reliance is actually what she wants most in her heart, after all, she is a woman, no matter how strong and stubborn she is, there are times when she is tired, and at this time, with the person she loves the most, she feels that everything doesn't matter.

"Didn't you say that you would go to the royal city by yourself and leave me alone? Why are you still in this place? Jielan couldn't help but ask.

Qing Zhan smiled softly and said, "Do you think I'll leave you behind?" I left yesterday just to make the Phantom Ji who was hiding in the shadows think that I really left, then she will definitely take the opportunity to attack you, and she will naturally appear, only in this way can I know who the opponent is, although there are some risks, but fortunately you didn't have an accident, otherwise I'm afraid I won't forgive myself in this life. ”

In her most difficult time, Qing Zhan was willing to stay by her side, and she was never disgusted by her bad temper and stayed away from her, this affectionate Jielan was really grateful, she left Qing Zhan's arms, and said: "What I said yesterday was just angry words I said when I was angry, not my sincere words, so don't mind." ”

Qing Zhan smiled indifferently and deliberately asked, "Then what are your true words?" ”

Jielan lowered her head, a little embarrassed to say it, but if she didn't express it clearly at the moment, she couldn't afford to fight Qing, she clenched her hands and said, "I hope you can stay by my side, although this is a little impossible, but I still think so in my heart, so..."

"I'll stay with you." Qing Zhan directly took over and said, "I will stay by your side from now on, so you don't have to worry." ”

Jielan was even more moved, she felt that she was so happy, all the people who loved her were by her side, but she also knew that this situation could only last for a while, and when she arrived in Wangcheng, how could Qing Zhan really stay by her side? And as long as she rescues Youyun, she will return to her own place, and she doesn't want to step into these world disputes again.
