Although this banquet was under the banner of commemorating the deceased Nine Orchids and the Nine Orchid Trees, the discerning people knew what the real purpose of this banquet was, and when the banquet was in the second half, the Senate really began to slowly show its hideous fangs.

First of all, a Ma Yuan gave a speech on stage as the leader of the Senate, first expressed a deep mourning for the deceased Jiulan couple with a heavy face, and then mentioned the two pure-blooded kings who are still young with great concern.

"As the leader of the Senate, I have the responsibility and obligation to raise the two pure-blood kings." Yi Ma Yuan said slowly, his gray and blue eyes swept over the blood clan in the audience, and he was satisfied to find that no one seemed to raise any objections.

A piece of power in the blood clan is evident from this, and the opinions of Jiulan Shu and Youguo, who are discussing their future whereabouts, are ignored in such a lively scene.

Youguo and Jiu Lanshu calmed down, waiting for Yi Ma Yuan to finish speaking, Jiu Lanshu's eyes quietly fell on Lan Tang Yonglu who was observing the situation in the dark, Lan Tang Yonglu has always been loyal to Jiu Lanyou, and after Jiu Lanyou died, his loyalty was naturally placed on Jiu Lanshu.

Chao Jiu Lanshu bowed slightly, Lan Tang Yonglu spontaneously stood up, the power of the Lan Tang clan could barely compete with one, and Lan Tang Yonglu as the head of the family was the most suitable candidate.

He smiled slightly at a piece of Ma Yuan in front of many nobles, and said in a calm and deliberative tone: "We are all in favor of Yiweng's idea of wanting to take care of Lord Shu and Lord Youguo, but since it is a decision on where the two of them go, I think it is better to ask Lord Shu and Lord Youguo what they think."

The banquet hall was extremely silent, and the eyes of many nobles were eagerly focused on Lan Tang Yonglu and Yi Yimayuan, as if they were watching a drama that was about to arrive. However, the protagonists of the play are not Ma Yuan and Lan Tang Yonglu, but Youguo and Jiu Lanshu, who have been standing together silently.

The smile on Ma Yuan's face faded because of the episode caused by Lan Tang Yonglu, but an old fox like him naturally didn't show too much emotion for people to catch, so he suddenly laughed when Lan Tang Yonglu finished speaking, first blamed himself for not thinking about it, and then agreed: "Not bad, not bad." Lan Tang, what you said also makes sense. ”

A Ma Yuan hand put on Youguo's shoulder and patted it affectionately, then looked at Jiu Lanshu, and said with great concern: "Then what do Lord Shu and Lord Youguo think?"

Youguo's hands clenched tightly because of a hemp that fell on his shoulder, but his face was still as timid as ever, and he relied very much on Jiu Lanshu, "I, I listen to Shu." ”

A Ma Yuan thought to himself with great disdain: It's really unassertive.

However, it is precisely because of this unassertive appearance that it is easy to control, at least much easier to control than the uncontrollable madman like Jiulan Li Tu.

In just a few seconds, Ma Yuan's mind has changed many times, but his face is still amiable and smiling.

"What do you think, Lord Cardinal?" A Ma Yuan asked Jiu Lanshu again.

Jiu Lanshu didn't make a decision immediately, and he also knew that it was not the right choice to give a Ma Yuan a bad look on such an occasion, so he showed some hesitation after pondering for a while, and said to a Ma Yuan: "I want to think about this matter again, Yi Weng."

The best thought in Ma Yuan's heart is, of course, to let Jiu Lanshu decide to stay in the Senate now, but this matter can't be rushed, and he also knows that Jiu Lanshu is not a character who is easy to manipulate, so he was not surprised by Jiu Lanshu's answer, and said with a smile: "Of course you can."

The episode passed so lightly, and the atmosphere of the banquet hall was restored, and Youguo and Jiulanshu chose a quiet spot not to be disturbed by the nobles with evil intentions, and sat by the windowsill next to the bouquets and spider plants.

The dense green leaves and bouquets of flowers obscured most of the figures of the two, and Jiu Lanshu pulled Youguo to sit down and unfolded the palm that Youguo had been clenching.

There is a shallow scar in the palm of Youguo's palm, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a wound that was cut by a fingernail after exerting too much force, although the wound is very shallow, but the wound that hurts the flesh still has a little thin blood stain, and the blood clan is very sensitive to the wound and the smell of blood, and fortunately, the room is full of fresh blood, and there is also a blood belt

His own blood slave came to enjoy himself, and the smell of Youguo's shallow blood stains was not very obvious mixed in it.

Jiu Lanshu's fingertips slowly caressed Youguo's wound for a moment, and there was a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth: "Angry?"

Youguo also looked at the wound in his palm, "How can you not be angry?" "In the face of a group of aristocrats who are pretentious, even if they are not angry, they are annoyed to death.

Jiu Lanshu didn't answer, he held Youguo's scarred palm to his mouth and gently licked away the blood with the tip of his tongue, his burgundy eyes lit up slightly, and the wound in his palm healed quickly.

Youguo scraped Jiu Lanshu's face with his fingers and shouted in a low voice, "Brother."

This kind of intimate action is not out of place in the blood clan, but the actions of Youguo and Jiu Lanshu are extremely ambiguous, and Lan Tangying, who was in a hurry, saw this scene, obviously it was very ordinary, but he suddenly turned around with a red face and didn't dare to look directly at the two.

"Lan Tang, are you looking for anything from us?" Youguo withdrew his hand and looked at Lan Tangying, who had turned his back.

Lan Tangying probably felt that he had disturbed the two of them, so he left an apology and hurriedly wanted to leave, but Jiu Lanshu and Youguo stopped him, Lan Tangying's emotions were very understandable on his face, but he was more in line with Youguo and Jiu Lanshu's intentions than those nobles who didn't know the so-called so-called.

"It's okay, we're fine anyway."

Youguo beckoned to Lan Tangying and asked him to come over, smiling slightly, "How are you doing?"

Jiu Lanshu also looked at Lan Tangying, but there were the eyes of the Senate everywhere, and he didn't show too much closeness to Lan Tangying.

Lan Tangying didn't mind the somewhat estranged attitude of the two, he was just very worried about Youguo and Jiu Lanshu, especially after learning the news of the death of Jiulan Shuli and Jiu Lanyou, this worry reached its peak.

But now it seems that Youguo and Jiu Lanshu's mood is quite stable, Lan Tangying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and after remembering what Lan Tang Yonglu said to him, she asked a little anxiously: "If you are willing, I really hope that the two of you can come to Lan Tang's house to live!"

Lan Tangying's eyes are pure without a trace of greed and calculation, he seems to be a little too simple by Lan Tang Yonglu, but Youguo and Jiu Lanshu don't hate such simplicity, it's just that the banquet is full of eyeliner in the Senate, and Lan Tangying's words will definitely be sent to a piece of Mayuan's ears soon.

Youguo didn't respond immediately when Lan Tangying thought about it, but said vaguely: "We are also thinking about this matter, thank you for your concern."

After a short conversation, the better partners who had been playing with Lan Tangying also came over, including Rujia in the early garden and Xiao Jia Yuan, Jiu Lanshu and Youguo didn't say much, and after talking about the issue of belonging, Youguo's attitude was also full of hesitation and uncertainty, and their conversation was naturally passed on to a piece of Ma Yuan's ears without reservation.

Yi Ma Yuan sneered with his cup, he was full of suspicion of everyone, and naturally it was not surprising that Lan Tangying and the others' behavior of approaching Jiu Lanshu and Youguo was Lan Tang Yonglu's calculation rather than simple care.

"It's despicable to use children." Yi Ma Yuan said lightly, not feeling that he was the most despicable one.

He said to his subordinates, "Go find Tuoma and call him to me."

*

Youguo was not surprised that a tuoma would come to him, but what surprised him was that a tuoma could endure it for a few days under the coercion of a mayuan made him very surprised.

Although he doesn't often meet with a Tuoma, but recently because he is in the Senate, the meeting has become frequent, Youguo bored and flipped through the book in his hand, and heard a Tuoma say: "Youguo, meet again."

Because of the hatred for a piece of Mayuan, even if a piece of Tama has a gentle and kind personality and doesn't know what his grandfather has done, it is difficult for Youguo to be too close to him.

He closed the book and said a little shy and rusty: "Yiyi, why are you here?"

"Youguo, are you the only one here?" Ichichi Tuoma asked, "The pivot is not there?"

Youguo shook his head, "Brother he was called away by Yiweng, as if he wanted to ask about something. ”

A hint of worry flashed in a Tuoma's eyes, and he could probably guess what Jiu Lanshu was calling away by a piece of Ma Yuan. Today, Lan Tang Yonglu brought people to discuss the ownership of Youguo and Jiu Lanshu, but why it was not called Youguo, he didn't know

。

And he came this time at the behest of a Ma Yuan, but he was not willing to obey a Ma Yuan's order, and after sitting down next to Youguo, he quietly observed the surrounding environment, and after making sure that the people who were watching could not hear his voice, Yi Tuoma said softly: "Youguo, you and Shu go to Lan Tang's house together."

Youguo's eyes moved slightly, and instead of trusting a tokuma quickly, he asked innocently, "Why?" I think it's also good in the Senate. ”

Yi Tuoma couldn't say it, he knew that his grandfather was not a good person, and the credibility of this matter from his mouth would be greatly reduced, but the best advice he made simply as a friend was also to hope that Youguo and Jiu Lanshu would go to Lantang's house together.

Lan Tang Yonglu was obviously better suited to take care of two purebloods than his grandfather.

"The Senate is good, but it's not very suitable for you." Ichijo Takuma hinted: "Grandfather usually has a lot of affairs to deal with, I'm afraid there is no way to take good care of you and Shu."

Youguo looked at Yi Ma's emerald green eyes steadily, he tried to see a hint of calculation in them, it was hard for him not to guard against this was a way that Yi Ma Yuan came up with to test him, but fortunately, Yi Ma was much more open than Yi Ma Yuan.

He really thinks this way for Youguo.

Youguo sighed in his heart: A piece of Ma Yuan, how can you have such a descendant.

But even if a tuoma is sincerely considered for the two of them, Youguo has to use a tuoma.

"That'...... Then I'll think about it. Yugo looked hesitant, with an appropriate look of sadness and vulnerability, which of course was meant for the vampires who were watching.

"Cardinal...... He didn't talk to me much about it, he was much more thoughtful than I was, so I didn't know much about it. ”

"I just have to listen to him."

A Tuoma and Jiu Lan Shu are the same age, if you really want to say that you are close or meet Jiu Lan Shu more often, he just thought that Jiu Lan Shu had already arranged a place for Youguo, so he was not worried, but comforted: "It's okay, Shu he will definitely take care of you."

Youguo also seemed to smile very reassuringly, a Tuoma glanced down at the book on Youguo's table, and said in surprise after seeing the cover, and the topic naturally expanded: "Do you also like to read this book?"

The book is just a boring and boring open to relieve boredom, the content is not profound, it is a fantasy light to pass the time, but what surprised Youguo is that a tuoma actually likes this type of book.

When he heard that Takuma's mother was a noble daughter of a Ikebana family, he always thought that Takuma, who had grown up under the influence of nobles, read famous books that made people very sleepy......

So Youguo smiled slightly, and followed a Tuoma's words: "Well, I think the content is very interesting, do you like Tuoma too?"

Talking about the topic of interest, a Tuoma is a little tireless, just now the atmosphere between the two of them was a little rusty gradually eased, a Tuoma excitedly introduced the books he liked to read recently, and even showed a bright smile that was not too aristocratic when he was happy.

But it didn't look annoying, Youguo listened carefully, and the two of them gradually got closer.

Until there was a crisp knock at the door, Ma Yuan and Jiu Lanshu, who had said that they had something to discuss, stood at the door and watched the two of them at this time.

The expression on a piece of Mayuan's face was quite calm, but the proximity of Youguo and a piece of Tuoma still surprised him a little, and he thought that a piece of Takuma would not listen to him so much. After all, a Tuoma has a stubborn personality like his father since he was born, but it seems to be good now, if the relationship between the two is good, he can just let a Tuoma be his eyeliner, and by the way, it will be better to separate the relationship between Jiu Lanshu and Youguo.

And Jiu Lanshu's expression was not as pleasant as that of a Ma Yuan, he looked at Youguo quietly, and his expression was calm: "Youguo, come here." ：，，.
