It was too late, and it was raining, so I had to stay at the inn for one night.

Chu Luan ordered Wei Wei to be taken away first, and he left Cangshan Temple with the guards after the rain stopped tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Luanwei left the group and set off for Cangshan Temple, because her previous injuries were not healed, and she rode a horse slower than others.

But in Lin's eyes, he deliberately delayed time, and from time to time he had to report to Wei Li: "Master, do you think she is holding back any bad moves?" ”

Wei Li glanced at him and did not answer.

Lin Yi still didn't give up, "Look at her, fox eyes, thin lips, at first glance, she is a cool person, and that Zhaoyue County Lord and the like." ”

"Lin Yi, you have so many mouths, why don't you say it in front of Miss Chu for a while."

Lin Yi shut his mouth in disdain, he was not targeting Chu Luan and "Mu Xi", mainly in his heart, only the second girl of the Ruan family can be worthy of his master, and Chu Luan, although her family background is more prominent than that of the second girl Ruan, but her temperament is really not gentle, every time she sees her master, she always carries a gun and a stick, and she always walks very close to King Jin, which is not compatible with his master.

Finally walked to Cangshan Temple, Chu Luan felt that the wound on his back was a little cracked, and when he saw the ninety-nine steps of the "ladder" from the foot of the mountain to the temple, his face was even more worried. Stopped on the spot and said nothing to go up.

"I can't walk, the prince will go up by himself."

"Miss Muxi, it's all come here, just insist on it." Lin Yi persuaded.

"That's it, since Miss Muxi is tired, let's take a rest here." Wei Li is empathetic.

Not long after, a green figure came down from the mountain, and when she got closer, Chu Luan saw clearly that it was Zhixia. Most of the time it was because he saw himself and Wei Li and his party together, and he was not at ease, so he came down to check the situation.

When Zhixia approached, Shi San greeted Wei Li and asked about the situation: "Miss Zhixia, where are you going?" ”

Zhixia saluted and said, "My girl noticed a team of people here on the mountain, and she was afraid of any accidents, so she specially asked me to come down and have a look." I didn't know that it was King Yongning, and I was rude. ”

"This girl, my dress is a little dirty, can you give me a dress." Chu Luan lifted the hem of his clothes and showed her the dirt stained with mud.

Zhixia and Chu Luan's eyes met, and they immediately understood, so it was difficult, "This ...... I need to ask my girl first, why don't you go up the mountain with me and see my girl together, okay? ”

"It just so happens that I'm pretty much rested." As he spoke, he wanted to leave with Zhixia.

Wei Li also got up at this moment, "Speaking of which, I misunderstood Miss Chu last time, and I haven't had time to make amends to her, so it's better for this king to go up the mountain with you and make amends for her." The tone of conversation was negotiating, but there was no hesitation in acting.

Chu Luan: ......

Due to the crack on his back, Chu Luan's movements were even slower, step by step, and occasionally he had to stop and pretend to enjoy the scenery.

When I finally reached the top of the mountain, I found that the daisy wearing Chu Luan's human skin/mask had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the real Chu Luan, she didn't show any flaws.

"Girl, this is Miss Muxi, her dress is dirty, I want to ask the girl to give her a dress." Zhixia explained.

"Chu Luan" nodded, then turned around and walked towards his wing, Zhixia hurriedly asked the real Chu Luan to follow.

"Wait."

"Why doesn't Miss Chu speak, but she still complains about me?" Wei Li asked about stopping Chu Luan's carriage that night.

Now it's in trouble. Daisy hadn't learned ventriloquism, and once she answered his question, she was revealed.

Daisy couldn't make up her mind for a while, and casually glanced at Chu Luan.

Chu Luan mouthed her: straight-pick-up-go.

Daisy got the way, and didn't stay long, and went straight back to the room.

After entering the room, Chu Luan took off his clothes and took off the soft hedgehog armor, only to find that the wounds on his back had been torn open, and his underwear was also dyed red.

"The national teacher is too ruthless, how can he do it." Daisy has to be sentimental every time she sees Chu Luan injured.

"Alright. Daisy, I'll make an excuse for Zhixia to send you away in a while, and remember not to stop on the way, and don't talk to anyone. ”

Daisy/Chinatsu: "Yes." ”

Wei Li waited outside for about a cup of tea before he saw a few people come out.

Chu Luan: "Zhixia, Miss Muxi must be tired after walking such a long way." It's up to you to arrange a carriage to take her back. ”

Zhixia: "Yes. ”

"Miss Muxi, is she leaving? You have done the king a great favor today, and the king will not have time to thank him. Wei Li's purpose was very obvious, he had to figure out the relationship between Mu Xi and Chu Luan.

"Zhixia, what are you still doing in a daze?" Chu Luan urged.

Zhixia also had no worries and left with Daisy.

Seeing Chu Luan's urgency, Wei Li felt more and more that something was wrong, even if he knew that Mu Xi and Chu Luan were two people, he felt that there must be some kind of connection between Mu Xi and Chu Luan, and ...... The two of them have such similar personalities, it is said that they should be very close, why didn't either of them take the initiative to talk?

Chu Luan saw Wei Li's doubts and tried to change the subject, "King Yongning seems to have something to say. As he spoke, he got up and went to the house to bring out a set of tea sets, and poured a cup of good rain Longjing for Wei Li, "It just so happens that I made tea, if the prince is not in a hurry, why don't you sit down and drink while talking?" After that, he made a "please" gesture.

The two sat across the stone table.

This is the first time the two of them have sat alone and drank tea together.

There were still traces of rain last night on the stone table, but Chu Luan didn't care at all and drank tea by himself.

Seeing this, Wei Li also curiously picked up the teacup and took a sip, the taste was fragrant with a hint of bitterness, and he did not hesitate to praise: "Good tea, Miss Chu's Longjing is a little different from what I have tasted before." ”

Most of the Longjing that Wei Li tasted before was too fragrant, and it was regarded as a product after a few sips, and sometimes after tasting it, he needed to drink a glass of water to dilute it, but it was not as good as this tea, and the mouth was fragrant, and he didn't feel rich.

"If the prince likes it, he will order someone to take some and send them to your mansion another day, which can be regarded as a little bit of Chu Luan's heart." Chu Luan replied politely.

Who knew that the other party was more serious, "Then I will thank Miss Chu for her 'heart'." When speaking, the word "heart" was deliberately emphasized. The uninformed still thought there was something between them.

Chu Luan was also shocked by his cheeky skills, this person sometimes looks so upright and rigid, how to talk is confusing.

"The prince has something to say, so you don't need to tease Chu Luan like this."

Wei Li was puzzled: "How did you ever tease? ”

Chu Luan no longer refutated, and followed his wishes, "Since the prince said that there is no, then there is no." ”

"But I do have something I want to ask Miss Chu." Wei leaned forward slightly, a little closer to Chu Luan, "Where was Miss Chu on the night Qi Ming was assassinated?" ”

Hearing that he was suspected, Chu Luan could still maintain a calm appearance with a face that was not red and his heart was not beating, "Buy wine." ”

Wei Li continued to ask: "But when Miss Chu returned home that night, I followed you not far from you. ”

Chu Luan's heart was shocked, but he quickly stabilized again, after all, Qi Ming had been in the ground for so long, and he only thought of asking about that night, it shouldn't be to be unfavorable to her.

"Miss Chu, why did you kill Qi Ming?"

Why kill? Hearing Wei Li ask this question, Chu Luan laughed in his heart. With so many things happening, is he really unable to see and discern clearly? Is it really so difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong?

She slammed the teacup in her hand on the stone table, making a displeased sound to show her attitude.

"Miss Chu, I know you want to avenge Zhang Sheng and his wife, but there are many ways to take revenge, why do you have to choose such a radical method? If I can know that you did it, then others can know about it. Murong Xiu and I grew up together, he has a perverse and ruthless personality, and he never leaves anyone half leeway, do you think he will let you go? ”

"Is the prince accusing me?" Chu Luan said sharply.

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to remind Miss Chu that being too prominent is not a good thing."

"According to you, forbearance is a good thing?" Chu Luan sneered, "Like you, trapped in the capital, with nowhere to show your bravery, giving up the justice you insist on, and lingering in the tea house tavern with Gu Yan and others every day, are you really willing to live such a life?!" ”

Chu Luan said, every word is beautiful, maybe he has been in the capital for a long time, and even Wei Li himself has almost forgotten what the previous King of Yongning, who made military exploits at the age of thirteen, was like. Now that the most secret scar has been uncovered by Chu Luan, he is unwilling but unable to refute it, but even if he is trapped in the capital, he has never forgotten the responsibility of protecting Yongguo.

Seeing that Wei Li didn't speak, Chu Luan felt a little guilty, thinking that he had touched someone's sadness. I wanted to coax him, so I changed the conversation and began to praise him, "The prince is a gentleman who cares about the world, you are dormant here, you are already restricted everywhere, in order to keep the century-old foundation of Yongguo, you have to lose." It was Chu Luan who didn't think it well and was offended. ”

"It's okay, you're telling the truth. However, I have been in the capital for a long time, and my thoughts have solidified. Miss Chu is so chivalrous and unyielding, Wei Li really admires her. ”

Over the years, coupled with the fragmented memories of her previous life, Chu Luan has not heard much of others praising her. Now Wei Li, who has never been smiling, heard it from his mouth, and he was very surprised, and he was rarely shy, "The prince doesn't look like he can praise people on weekdays, but he really talks in a way." ”

Wei Li: "It's just the truth. ”

Chu Luan rarely smiled, and did not forget to refill a cup of tea for him.

"So...... Miss Chu chose to stand on Ah Jin's side because you think he is more talented in governing the country than His Majesty today? Wei Li voiced his doubts.

Chu Luan thought of the time he had been in contact with Murong Jin, and said objectively, "After all, he is a person who has experienced life and death and has not avenged his revenge, how can he really abide by his heart as before?" However, he is a person who has a big heart for right and wrong, and he knows the truth that the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the king is light. And the most indispensable thing for a person to govern the country is to grasp this truth. ”

Seeing Chu Luan's sober and rational mind, Wei Li smiled lightly, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted her, "Even so, I also look forward to the day when Yongguo will change." ”

"Then dare to ask the prince if he won't stop me in the future?"

Chu Luan began to rummage through old accounts again, Wei Li was slightly embarrassed, got up and gave her a big salute, and said with a smile, "I was reckless before, and I ask Miss Chu not to blame." But...... If your actions hurt innocent people in the future, then I will not show mercy. ”

"I promise that I will never implicate innocent people unless necessary."

"Miss Chu, it's getting dark now, and it will rain again in a while, and the mountain road will be difficult to walk at that time, so it's better for Miss Chu to go down the mountain with me now." Wei Li proposed.

The two finally talked about everything, and they talked very happily, and they were half friends. It's okay to go together, and when Zhixia comes back to pick her up and then go to the capital, I'm afraid it's dark. Chu Luan agreed.

The two went down the mountain together, and a few guards left by Chu Luan followed far behind.

She and Wei Li walked together, and the distance between the two was only about half an arm's length.

It had rained last night, and the moss on the stairs was even more slippery, and with her injuries, it was not easy to descend. If you accidentally step on the moss, you will be about to slide down. Thanks to Wei Li's quick hand, a strong arm held her back. Chu Luan raised his head and found that the distance between the two was no longer too close. She could even see Wei Li's lip lines. Realizing that the situation was embarrassing now, she hurriedly tried to straighten up, but accidentally pulled the wound on her back, which made her gasp.

Wei Li saw that Chu Luan didn't move for a long time, thinking that she had hit her foot, and hurriedly asked, "Is Miss Chu injured?" ”

Chu Luan slowly straightened up, feeling that the wound on his back was not bleeding, but he was relieved after a little tugging, "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally broke my foot, it's better for the prince to go first, and I'll follow behind slowly." ”

Sure enough, it's here. Wei Li walked in front of her, squatted down without saying a word, "The mountain road is slippery, since Miss Chu is injured, don't be reckless, and I will carry the girl to the foot of the mountain for the rest of the journey." ”

Back? Even if Chu Luan is informal, no one has carried her since she can remember. Even Wei Wei, when she encounters this situation, she is trying to find a sedan chair for her.

Chu Luan didn't know how to choose for a while, but the wound on her back really couldn't be cracked anymore.

"Miss Chu, come up."

Looking at Wei Li's broad shoulders and strong back, the contours of the muscles in his arms are showing due to his exertion, which inexplicably makes people feel reliable and full of security.

Anyway, no one here would tell Wei Li about carrying her down the mountain, and Chu Luan had no scruples, leaning over Wei Li.

In order to be more stable when Wei Li got up, he also specially turned it upside down, caught Chu Luan off guard, and strangled Wei Li's neck with both hands, for fear that he would throw himself down. And Wei Li, in order not to offend Chu Luan, but to ensure her safety, carefully put his hands under her knees. The two went down the mountain like this, and along the way, the faint aroma of osmanthus and the cold sandalwood fragrance were mixed together, accompanying the two all the way.

——

At this time, the town north Houfu ushered in another uninvited guest.

Du Bo hurriedly rushed into the study and interrupted the conversation between Chu Xu and his son. He kept panting, his eyes were full of horror, and his words were a little unfavorable, "Master Hou, it's not good, outside, there is a woman outside, claiming that she is the real Chu girl in the Houfu in Zhenbei!" ”

Chu Xu: ......

In order to avoid accidents, Chu Xu ordered Du Bo to bring the woman in for questioning.

Chu Xu and his entourage went to the hall and saw a woman in an ink-colored dress standing upright in the center of the hall. Just looking at the woman's back, you can also guess that the other party is a gentle and demure fair lady, although the back is somewhat similar to Chu Luan, but it is slightly taller than Chu Luan.

"Are you pretending to be my daughter again?" Before Chu Xu arrived, the words came first.

The woman turned around eagerly when she heard the voice, and this glance really startled Chu Xu, "Qing'er ......"

If Chu Luan and Ruan Qing are just similar in appearance, then the little woman in front of her is exactly the same as Ruan Qing back then.

However, when he saw her tearful and pitifully calling him "Daddy", Chu Xu could be sure that she was definitely not his and Ruan Qing's daughter.

Chu Ling stepped forward and asked the woman: "Who are you, why are you pretending to be my sister's name?" ”

"Daddy, I'm your daughter, I'm Chu Luan!"

Chu Liang didn't believe that the woman in front of him was the real Chu Luan, I don't know where she came from, she didn't know how to pretend to be decent, and there was no place on her body that looked like her father's, "Presumptuous!" Do you know that the current Chu Luan is the county lord of Zhaoyue, and your impersonation is a capital crime! ”

"Father, I am really your daughter, when you sent me to Jiangnan, I unfortunately met a villain on the way, I was separated from the team, and I don't know where I was. I met a kind person who raised me, so I had the life to come back to see my father, who knows...... There was another Chu Luan, causing me to miss a good opportunity to recognize my father. The woman pitifully stated her life experience, but if she looked closely into these words, she would find that there were many loopholes.

Chu Ling also wanted to ask in detail, so that the other party could reveal his flaws, but was interrupted by Chu Xu, "Ling Ling, don't ask, this person can never be your sister." Although I don't know what your purpose is, it is indeed not a wise move for you to come to me at this time, not to mention that you are not my daughter at all, I have severed relations with Chu Luan, everyone in the capital knows it, and you will not get any benefit from looking for me in her name at this time, if you know each other, it is better to leave early. ”

The woman wanted to say something more, but Chu Xu directly asked someone to drag her out.

——

Chu Luan excused herself for breaking her foot, but Wei Li refused to let her ride a horse alone, and forced Chu Luan to ride with him.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Chu Luan strongly asked to dismount at the city gate. As soon as she entered the city, she saw that Ruan Qianyan had been waiting for a long time, so she didn't need to ask more, Chu Luan also knew who she was waiting for. glanced at the two of them coldly, and was about to leave first.

Who knew that Wei Li grabbed her sleeve, "Miss Chu, slow down, you were injured just now, let's let Shi San hire a carriage for you." ”

Shi San, who was arguing with Lin Yi or something, immediately jumped out and echoed when he heard his name, "Ah, yes, yes, Miss Chu, let my master send you back." ”

Wei Li: ......

Chu Luan: ......

Nguyen Qianyan: ......

Chu Luan: Did you really listen to your master's orders?

Chu Luan was just about to refuse, when she saw Zhixia and Daisy coming to look for her. Both of them were full of urgency, "Girl, something happened." ”
