The night was already deep, and I didn't realize that it had entered the fourth watch.

The stars are fading, but the wind is still vibrating, and the sound of killing is far away in the night.

The fire was dazzling, but he taught Lan Shaobao not to see it really, and on the way back to the Sifang Pavilion, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, secretly thinking about the horse stumbling in his heart, and now he finally understood why Xiao Shengou tripped the horse.

In the middle of the night, if someone lurks in the shadows and throws something at random and hits the horse, the horse will neigh and immediately intercept him.

Of course, this person has to be a martial arts master, and only a martial arts master has such accurate strength and fast skills.

This person is undoubtedly Sun Daocheng.

But what's going on with Shan Ziying?

When his eyes could barely be opened, he turned his head to look at her, but Shan Ziying was dragging his arm and hurrying away.

Finally arrived at Sifang Town, standing at the entrance of the town, Lan Shaobao turned around and looked back, in the valley full of dead bodies, the pursuit of soldiers in the distance, and the sound of soldiers occasionally hearing a few points, but he didn't know what the result of this battle was.

When he was about to see more clearly, his eyes suddenly stinged.

Shan Ziying hurriedly helped him back to the Lan family in the Sifang Pavilion, and called his subordinates to bring two basins of water, Shan Ziying washed the powder in his hands, and Lan Shaobao washed his face and tidied up his clothes.

Shan Ziying didn't dare to look at him, and after washing, he sat aside and said: "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to pick you up, walking on that road, I heard the sound of horses neighing, but it was too dark, and I couldn't see it, and then I heard Sun Daocheng speak, and I knew that - I - I scattered the wrong thing, I-"

Lan Shaobao waved his hand to stop her words, and asked, "How do you know that I am going to pass there?"

Shan Ziying glanced at him worriedly, and Lan Shaobao was still cleaning his eyelids.

She saw that the innate blue light in Lan Shaobao's eyes couldn't be seen, and her hands were touching in the dark, and she said with a guilty face: "Ah An told me, isn't there only one way to rush back to the Sifang Pavilion from Chaotian Tower?"

Lan Shaobao was speechless.

Shan Ziying watched Lan Shaobao wipe his cheeks, and said, "At that time, I saw that it was the fourth watch, and you still didn't come back, I-"

After wiping it several times, Lan Shaobao's eyes were no longer as blurry as before, and he really saw Shan Ziying's face, and suddenly said, "So, that signal was released by you?"

He remembered that Chaotianlou heard the signal break through the air, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Shan Ziying didn't deny it, and said in a low voice: "It's me, I thought you were just going out to listen to the enemy!" Saying this, she suddenly raised her head to meet Lan Shaobao, and said, "Do you know, if you make any mistakes, the people of this Sifang Town will be leaderless! Now that the enemy has not retreated, how can you do such a dangerous thing alone?"

Lan Shaobao had to admire Shan Ziying's wit, this move was summoned in advance, and it did save him from the mouths of the tigers.

At this moment, there was a burst of fireworks in the night sky, Lan Shaobao hurriedly ran outside to call his subordinates to ask what color it was, and learned that it was blue, it seemed that according to the plan, Leng Hanyu and his gang successfully repelled Yuan Daocheng's men.

The retreat of the brigade this time, no matter how many miles it can retreat, is a happy event for him.

Lan Shaobao was overjoyed at the moment, and even praised it, and Shan Ziying, who was looking forward to it, was also happy.

Lan Shaobao had no time to rest, so the two of them sat down in the house again, waiting for Leng Hanyu and his party to come back.

Lan Shaobao remembered what Shan Ziying said before, and said sincerely: "With one enemy, I was really not sure at the time, but at this critical moment, I can only save the lives of the people in the town by doing this, there are too many old and weak women and children here, they don't know how to fight at all, even if my father left behind the eighty-one altar, those brothers have wives and children, how can I bear it......"

Shan Ziying couldn't help but shake her head and sigh lightly: "Childe, you are too kind!"

Lan Shaobao smiled bitterly: "The girl's words are so sarcastic!"

Shan Ziying was stunned, and Lan Shaobao sighed to himself: "I pity the brothers in Sifang Town, but I teach those brothers of Li Ji to fight? Isn't this deceiving them to die? ”

Shan Ziying stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "How could a great traitor say such a thing? Then Li Ji's brother was originally homeless, and he was going to avenge Li Ji, not to mention that two thousand people were also dispatched to Sifang Town this time, Ziying-Ziying thinks you are a good person!"

Lan Shaobao said: "Good person, do you know that I have been walking around the rivers and lakes for so many years, and no one has ever said that I am a good person." ”

Shan Ziying was stunned: "Why is this?"

Lan Shaobao suddenly became cynical and said with a smile: "They think that I am merry by nature and like to deceive girls' feelings." ”

Shan Ziying couldn't help but be displeased, and said in a cold voice: "Who said this?"

Lan Shaobao raised his eyebrows, his shoulders were straight, he stood upright, and said solemnly: "In fact, I have indeed been chased by girls for many years, such as Ziyun Shuangxia." ”

Shan Ziying stared at Lan Shaobao and asked rhetorically, "Is Childe tempted by that Ziyun Shuangxia?"

Lan Shaobao shook his head.

Shan Ziying asked again, "Do you promise to marry them?"

Lan Shaobao was stunned, and said truthfully: "There was a joke that was saved by the two of her at that time, and suddenly had this joke, and then they took it seriously, I had to run for my life all day, and now I think about it, I was really young and playful at that time." ”

Shan Ziying sighed lightly: "Hey, why is Childe so cynical?"

Lan Shaobao suddenly smiled, met Shan Ziying's gaze and said, "This time, you should believe that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, right?"

Shan Ziying muttered in a low voice: "It's just a joke, but they haven't done anything beyond the etiquette, they say this about you, and they also mix you with those merry sons who are merciful everywhere, isn't this tantamount to ruining the reputation of the son? These people are really hateful." ”

Lan Shaobao didn't want her to say this, so he couldn't help but be stunned and looked at her blankly.

I heard Shan Ziying say again: "Childe is just amorous, he can't bear to disobey the kindness of others, he is afraid of hurting them, but he is a very fond person in his heart." With that, she raised her head and stared at Lan Shaobao, her gaze falling on his pupils for a moment.

Lan Shaobao suddenly avoided his head, and said with a heavy face: "Don't mention that matter again, it's not good to be thought to be robbing a friend's sweetheart!"

Shan Ziying just stared at him and muttered: "Ziying still remembers the incident she encountered when she first came to Lanfu, feelings are coming, when anyone has impulses, is it possible that a person can see through everything from birth?"

Lan Shaobao lowered his head and said, "But I shouldn't have known that she was on good terms with my friend and hugged her, and I-shouldn't have shown it to her, so that I became a laughing stock, I-" Speaking of this, his whole heart suddenly became nervous.

Shan Ziying also saw it and said, "That's just a normal man's practice, what's so strange?

Lan Shaobao still lowered his head, dodging Shan Ziying's gaze, and said, "But that's my friend." ”

Shan Ziying said: "As long as the woman is not married, any man has the opportunity to fight for it, isn't it?

Lan Shaobao was stunned, almost didn't know what to say, hurriedly found a sentence, and said: "You can't say that, in fact, I am a coward, a coward who can't withstand the blow of failure, a person who easily gives up his life for the sake of feelings, he is either fragile in heart, or—"

Shan Ziying asked, "What?"

Lan Shaobao turned his head uneasily and said, "What will happen to people who are too emotional?"

Shan Ziying said without thinking: "It is difficult to make great achievements, and one day you will suffer." Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly stared at Lan Shaobao and said, "Actually, it's not!"

Lan Shaobao interrupted her words and said, "Yes, if you do something like that, everyone will think that it is suicide for love." ”

Shan Ziying hurriedly said: "No, even if they all think so, but I know no, Childe can't survive that kind of pain, only by using another method to let the pain eat each other, I won't think of those things, I know that Childe did that, it is the result of not being able to accept love and righteousness, Childe wants to get rid of the pain and make himself normal, not want to commit suicide!"

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered what Lan Shaobao once said: "In this world, you lose something, and you keep thinking about her in your heart, that kind of pain is like a cone piercing flesh, eating bones, and you can never get rid of it, but after eating chronic poison, I will forget this pain for a while, because its toxicity erodes the heart and lungs, so that you have no chance to think about the sad past, liberation is not a way......"

For some reason, she never forgot this sentence, and at this moment, her ears kept floating: After taking chronic poison, I will forget this pain for a while, because its toxicity erodes the heart and lungs, so that you don't have a chance to think about the sad past......

Lan Shaobao finally stared at Shan Ziying, and shouted, "Girl!" After a long time, he sighed and said, "Why do you make excuses for me?"

Shan Ziying's face was already nervous, and she said, "I...... I ......" suddenly greeted Lan Shaobao, and said with some sadness: "Childe, in fact, you are so stupid, it is not worth hurting yourself like that for someone who doesn't love you, no matter what you have done for her, she doesn't love you, and she won't take what you do in her eyes." ”

This time, Lan Shaobao was a little nervous, and said: "At that time, I didn't know, it seemed that I just couldn't control myself, so I always felt that I was a selfish person, so selfish that I wanted to snatch the person I liked, I-Am I shameless?"

Shan Ziying said: "A truly shameless person will not look at himself like this, let alone say this about himself, I appreciate Gongzi." After saying that, she was shocked to realize that she had lost her words, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Both of them turned red at the same time.

Lan Shaobao suddenly remembered Liu Shilong, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly walked to the door and called the subordinate to take another basin of water to wash his face, and soon the subordinate came in with water, and when Lan Shaobao turned around, he saw Shan Ziying staring at him, his eyes were falling on the arm he had cut before, and he said worriedly: "Or what I said, that is just the normal idea of a person who is facing feelings for the first time, if it were me, I might be worse than you, and I may not have the courage to give up my love generously." ”

Shan Ziying got up and paced, and said to herself: "Ziying has been sick since she was a child, except for Shilong, no one takes care of me like you. ”

Lan Shaobao sneered and said, "Where is it, the girl is serious." ”
