Chapter Twenty-Three: After Dusk
Looking at the girl in the pavilion, Jiang Fan was a little stunned, but at the same time, he inexplicably remembered Lin Xu in his heart. I don't know what happened to Lin Xu now, he still remembers the dangerous scene that day.
However, thinking that Gu Nianqing is here, he should be fine!
Looking at the sky, Jiang Fan turned around and picked up the bedside sword, and immediately opened the door and walked downstairs.
In the courtyard, the spring flowers thanked the winter cold, and the frost in the corner gradually disappeared, and began to turn warm. The petals flying in the sky, glowing with a rich fragrance, surround Jiang Fan's body, constantly circling.
The young man walked and walked with a faint sound, interrupting Qingluan's action of reading ancient books.
"Childe, this is ...... Are you leaving?"
The girl got up slowly, and the elegant jade stood in the small pavilion, looking at the young man with a sword in her deep eyes.
"I'm already in good health, so it's naturally inconvenient to continue to stay, which disturbs the girl's tranquility!"
Jiang Fan came to him, bowed to Qingluan, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the lovely person in front of him, although Jiang Fan didn't want to admit it, he was really reluctant and didn't want to leave, but this kind of distraction was completely abandoned by him in just an instant.
It was only now that he understood why he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw her back before, because she was the girl in the light green dress he saw by the lake!
"Childe said with a smile, this place is not only you and me, but also the place where all things grow, I am equal to being in this world, so why bother?"
Qingluan stroked a few strands of green silk on his forehead, and looked at Jiang Fan and chuckled.
When Jiang Fan heard this, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, and after reacting at the moment, he looked at her with some bitterness and said: "The girl is reasonable, but she is vulgar and short-sighted in her vision!"
When he was leaving, Jiang Fan thought about it again and again, so he made a decision, only to see that the sword in his hand immediately took off his hand, flew towards Qingluan, and landed smoothly on the stone table in front of her!
"Childe, this is ......"
Seeing this, Qingluan was stunned in his heart, and looked at him with some doubts, not knowing what he meant.
"This sword, is the first sword since stepping into the monasticism, it has also been with me for several years, for me, the meaning is extraordinary, today it is left to the girl, is to give the girl a token, if you can use me Jiang Fan in the future, the girl takes the sword to find, Jiang Fan goes to the soup and fire, and does not hesitate!"
"Auntie...... Miss Qingluan, I'm saying goodbye, we'll have a date later!"
After speaking, the young man did not wait for Qingluan to refuse, so he walked towards the outside of the courtyard and never looked back.
Looking at his back, Qingluan wanted to stop him and return the sword to him, but unfortunately, the man walked extremely fast and disappeared from her sight in a blink of an eye.
Anyway, if there is still fate in the future, just return it to him!
The girl looked at the sword on the stone table, which looked a little ugly and weird, and fell into deep thought for a while, speechless for a long time.
......
At this moment, Jiang Fan had already left the compound and walked all the way to the west. Facing the red glow of the setting sun, Jiang Fan finally walked to the lake, and it was only now that he learned that he was still on Jingyun Island.
I heard that the Nine Palaces Pavilion on this Jingyun Island is composed of nine palaces arranged according to the direction of the five elements, and the place where they went before was the first palace, so it was the second palace that came out by themselves?
Jiang Fan fell into deep thought, it seems that the identity of the Qingluan girl is not only not simple, but it is also very likely to have a major connection with the royal family!
Could it be that she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty?
The young man thought about it and felt that it was extremely complicated, so he immediately put aside those messy thoughts and looked up at the calm and wide Jingyun Lake.
This Jingyun Lake is not small, standing here, it seems that you can't see much of the things on the opposite shore at a glance.
How did this pass?
Jiang Fan was a little distressed, he had already asked Qingluan how to cross the lake before, since she had a connection with the royal family, she naturally had a way to let herself pass, but unfortunately now that others have come out, let him go back and ask Qingluan, where can he put his face down!
Just when Jiang Fan was depressed and was about to grit his teeth and swim over, he suddenly saw a small boat slowly sailing in the lake, and a boatman could be faintly seen on the boat.
"Senior, but you're going to cross the lake, so I wonder if you can take it on the next trip?"
Jiang Fan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly opened his throat and shouted.
"Don't worry, the old man is here to cross you!"
There was also an echo on the other side, but just listening to the voice, there was always an inexplicable discord in it.
How could this old man's voice be so crisp...... Young?
Jiang Fan touched his nose and thought with some surprise in his heart.
I saw that the boat was getting closer and closer, and finally docked on the shore, and then walked down. The visitor arrived not far in front of Jiang Fan, and when he took off his straw hat, Jiang Fan almost didn't mention it in one breath after seeing his appearance clearly, and swallowed himself to death.
Where is the old boatman in front of him, looking at the delicate face, white skin, small hands, and slender body, this is clearly a little beauty!
"Auntie...... Girl?"
Jiang Fan was dumbfounded, and for a while, some words were blocked, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Giggles, don't be surprised, Yan'er was ordered by the master to help the son cross this Jingyun Lake!"
Seeing Jiang Fan's surprised expression, the girl immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, and her lively and cheerful smile also made Jiang Fan react immediately.
"In that case, then there is Miss Lao!"
The young man raised his hand, looking very humble and polite.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, just call Yan'er by her name!"
The girl looked at him with a cute expression and smiled, then turned around and led Jiang Fan towards the boat.
After getting on the boat, the two of them broke the waves one by one, and the Yan'er girl gently paddled the wooden oars, and went straight to the opposite shore.
Along the way, Jiang Fan's eyes looked at the remnant sun in the sky, and he seemed a little silent, but in front of him, Yan'er looked at him curiously from time to time.
"My Guan Gongzi has a very special temperament, I don't know who he is?"
The girl's light voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Fanwen went, saw her curious look, couldn't help but think about it, and said, "In the next ...... From Jinlin!"
Yes, he is indeed from Jinlin, even if the Jiang clan used to be one of the Chang'an Wang clans.
"Jin Lin?"
The girl paddled the wood pulp in her hand, tilting her little head and trying to think of something.
Looking at her innocent appearance, a little sad memory in Jiang Fan's heart suddenly turned into the shadowless spring breeze that came and went and blew away.
"Yes, Jin Lin, there, that's my hometown!"
After saying this, Jiang Fan raised his head again, looked at the sky with a chuckle, and stopped talking.
It was getting late, and the stars were looming in the sky, when the boat finally came to shore.
The young man who stepped on land again looked back at the girl on the boat, and suddenly smiled at her: "When I go back, thank Miss Qingluan for me!
After speaking, the young man turned around and left, facing the sunset, his back gradually drifted away, the boat on the lake, Yan'er looked up at the silhouette of the young man's back with her little head, but her heart was full of some inexplicable meaning, and then she also rowed the boat, slowly towards the way back into the distance.
