Jielan looked at this document and became more and more worried, because she had read the document from Heimu County since then when she was in the Ministry of Rites, and knew that the weapons, food, and the number of soldiers they reported to Wangcheng every year were as much as four times different from this document, although it was normal for the city and county to lie about these data, but it generally did not overflow by double, and this was actually more than four times, so it is conceivable that the ambition of this county is already very obvious.

Jielan's mood became heavier and heavier, and she only said: "I can't imagine that Heimu City's ambition has reached such a point, and no one in Wang Cheng knows about it. Thinking that the document must have been passed on to someone, she asked, "To whom is it to be given?" Could it be someone from the royal city? Thinking of this, Jielan was even more worried, after all, if someone in the royal city united with Heimu City, then the royal city would inevitably be overturned.

Jielan made up her mind and said: "Jin Xuan City Lord, I will borrow your pen and hand, please send someone to help me send it to the royal city, and hand it over to the young monarch Qingzhan, I believe that only him and Lord Chengfu can make me trust in the royal city at present, and this matter is not good to publicize, otherwise it will be even more troublesome." She walked to the front of the case and sat down with some eagerness, while Tianling helped Jielan polish the ink and handed her the pen.

Jielan unfolded the paper, took the pen, and wrote on the paper: "Shaojun invitation, for my departure from the court, although I did not inform you in advance, it is my loss, but the master has a secret matter, I need to go to Heimu County to investigate, this matter is related to the life and death of the blood Ying country, and it is suspected that it is involved with the people of Wangcheng, so I don't want the public to know, I just hope that I will find out the cause of the incident after I go out to patrol, and then return to the court immediately, please consult with Lord Chengfu, don't let others know, after returning to the court, I am willing to accept the guilt." Princess Jie Lan on! After Jielan finished writing the paperwork, she dried it, then sealed it in an envelope, handed it to the city lord of Jin Xuan, and said, "Next, I hope for your help." ”

Jin Xuan took the paperwork, she raised her eyes and looked at Jielan, to this day, she admired this woman a little, she smiled brightly, and said: "It's hard to send it back to Wangcheng like this, unlike the documents of Heimu County that were intercepted by unknown people, so you have to think of a complete way." ”

Jielan is also a little worried about this problem, if this document falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, then she will be the one who will suffer in the end, she thought carefully, and said: "By the way, you suddenly mentioned Lord Hongden to me yesterday, presumably he has come to your city, right?" ”

Jin Xuan didn't expect her to be able to guess this, and said: "I didn't expect that Jielan to be Jielan, everything didn't escape your eyes, yes, this person came to this city, what's the matter?" Are you going to entrust it to him? ”

"Lord Hongden is my mentor to me, please take me to meet him, I have something to entrust to him." Jielan walked up to Jin Xuan and held her hand, hoping that she would grant her request

Jin Xuan had some doubts, because she was worried that this Lord Hongdeng was unreliable, if this matter leaked out, it would not only be the matter of Jielan being tortured alone, it was very likely that she and even the entire Jin Zhaocheng would be implicated, so she didn't dare to rashly let anyone know that Jielan was actually in the city court.

Jielan also understood Jin Xuan's worries, she held her hand tighter, as if to soothe her uneasiness, she said earnestly: "Don't worry, I can't guarantee the others, but Lord Hongden treats me like a mountain, and I respect him very much in my heart, so I ask him for his business, I believe that he will not break my trust, and I will not tell anyone what you and I plan today, only you know, I know, he knows, if I break my word, I will fall into hell forever, and my soul will never be able to get transcendent." ”

Jin Xuan didn't expect Jielan to make such a poisonous oath, she was shocked by the powerful momentum of the blue-haired woman in front of her, this momentum is the momentum of the king, it is the momentum of Ling Ran in the world, she was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Okay, the master will let the princess go to see it." She summoned Commander Kou Ying, who was guarding outside the imperial study, in, and said, "You take Princess Jielan to meet Lord Hongden, remember, all you need to know about letting her go to meet Lord Hongden, you know?" ”

Kou Ying responded: "Yes", then stood aside and said to Jielan: "Princess, please!" ”

Jielan nodded, and left the imperial study, while Kou Ying followed her side and guided her all the way.

And Tianling, who had never spoken, saw Jielan leave, before he walked to Jin Xuan's side and asked, "Is this good?" After all, she is a person from Wangcheng, and she is a sinner in Wangcheng, if you help her like this, if the matter is revealed, won't you also be punished? ”

Jin Xuan lowered her head, she turned to face the man in front of her, who was always in a sad mood, and only said: "Even if the result really turns out to be like that, I am willing, so it is useless for you to persuade me." ”

"And what exactly did you agree with her?" Tianling couldn't see through Jin Xuan, and didn't know what she was spending so much energy for.

Jin Xuan raised her autumn-like eyes, she gently approached Tianling, and rested her head on Tianling's shoulder. Tianling was a little surprised by her sudden move, and instinctively planned to retreat, but he knew that if he did so, he would probably make Jin Xuan sad, so he had to stay where he was, so he let Jin Xuan lean on his arms.

Tian Ling hadn't smelled this familiar smell for a long time, but he knew that even if two people were so close to each other, their hearts would never be able to come together again, because there was always an unbridgeable gap between them.

After all, one is a blood demon and the other is a demon acolyte; One is the city lord, the other is a half-demon, but the obstacles between them cannot be lifted by themselves, forever.

Jin Xuan was in Tianling's arms, but she felt extremely relieved, she gently stroked Tianling's face, and said: "Over the years, I have always thought that as long as I become the lord of the city, maybe I will slowly forget you, but it turns out that I was wrong, over the years, my thoughts about you have become deeper and deeper, Tianling, I just want you to return to my side, as before, I will never allow you to leave me again." ”

Tianling didn't expect that Jin Xuan was still suffering for him, he was very sad, he gently pushed Jin Xuan away from his arms, and said: "You are now the city lord, you can't be willful in everything, don't do these meaningless things for me anymore, you forget me, now you, there is no need to remember me, and between us, after your blood demon power is transferred to me, there is no longer any bond between you and me." ”

Hearing such resolute words, how could Jin Xuan not be sad, she was a little angry, a little sad, and only said: "When your blood flows in your body, can you not feel my thoughts about you?" If you say yes, it means you're lying, and you know that your lying to me will only make me sadder and more painful? Proud and beautiful, she changed from a monarch to an ordinary woman in front of Tianling, revealing her most sincere emotions for the people she loved.

No matter how ruthless he is, in the face of the person he wants to protect the most in his life, how can Tianling be hard-hearted, his originally sad face looks even more sad, like the moon in the fog, blurred so that people feel so distressed. He slowly raised his hand, hugged Jin Xuan into his arms, and then hugged the woman he loved little by little, he really wanted to never let go of it for the rest of his life, and go on like this forever.

"You're really stupid, why do you have to do this? Why do you have to do those impossible things, I just hope that you will live well, become the lord of this golden city, and become the lord they love and admire! Tianling would rather give up Jin Xuan's love than let her give up her responsibilities and pursuits because of herself.

Tears slid down her face, like an unspoken injury that made the two of them feel so sad, Jin Xuan let go of Tianling, she took a step back, looking at the Tianling in front of her who had become so haggard because of herself, she only said: "This time, I will not change my mind again, let alone let you leave my side again." Jin Xuan was so resolute that Tianling was both embarrassed and moved.

But will there really be a future for the two of them? Tianling couldn't be sure, but he suddenly had a little bit of expectation, looking forward to the day when there might be another day, there were no taboos in the world, there were no laws and regulations, they could freely and freely love the people they wanted to love, there was no difference in identity, there was no difference in blood, there was no strange gaze from others.

If there is this day, maybe they can be together again. It's just that such an extravagant future can only be hoped for, but cannot be realized.

..............................

Under the guidance of Kou Ying, Jielan came to Hongdeng's place 'Yingsong Palace', and when Jielan walked into the small courtyard in front of the palace, she saw a Hongdeng in a black official uniform standing under a maple tree. It was early autumn, and the maple leaves were turning red, rustling in the breeze, and he was so intently looking at the red maple tree that he didn't even notice that Jielan had walked behind him.

Jielan called softly, "Hongda! ”

Hongden only woke up from his thoughts at this time, he turned around, and saw this strange woman behind him wearing a hat to cover her face, he instinctively took a step back and said, "Who are you?" ”

Jielan took off the hat of the trench coat, revealing her beautiful but sad face, facing the stunned teacher in front of her, she bowed, and then said, "I'm really sorry for letting you worry about me, adult." ”

How could Lord Hongden not be surprised when he saw Jielan, it took a long time for him to stabilize his shocked emotions, and his face became angry and solemn, he said angrily: "The princess is really leisurely, what's the matter, you don't like the royal court, but you like to come to this city as a guest?" ”

Jielan knew that Lord Hongden was very angry with herself, and she was also very sorry for the mistakes she had made, she only said: "Although I haven't been with you for a long time, but in my heart, I have long respected adults as my teachers, and I believe that you also love me as your student, don't you?" So, can you trust that your students aren't the kind of people who run away from court for fear of responsibility? ”
