Jiang Yunlan raised her head, but saw a man in a long gown walking outside. After listening to Ning Lang's introduction, and listening to these mountain bandits calling the king, she knew that the man in the long gown was the Boss Yang who disguised himself as a man.

However, looking at this Boss Yang's brows and eyes, he only looked at the appearance, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of femininity. I saw Boss Yang standing in front of the other bandits. He was not as strong as those bandits, but he was a bit handsome. I am afraid that he has already won the hearts of many girls.

Jiang Yunlan was stunned for a moment, thinking: If she hadn't known earlier, I'm afraid she would have regarded Boss Yang as a man.

She suppressed her emotions and raised her head with an eager smile: "This is Yang... Miss Yang, right?"

Yang Zhen glanced at her, then looked at Ning Lang next to her, knowing that she was Ning Lang's mother, and said hello respectfully.

Yang Zhen went straight to the main seat and sat on the chair. She raised one leg and stepped on the chair, her sitting posture was airy. Jiang Yunlan saw it and raised her eyebrows first, but didn't say anything.

Ning Lang looked at her with bright eyes: "You have been hiding outside for so long, are you finally willing to come back

"How have I ever escaped?" Yang Zhen said indifferently: "I just went for a walk down the mountain, why did I avoid you when I came to your mouth?"

Actually it was like that.

Ning Lang responded again and again: "Yes, no, I made a mistake."

Jiang Yunlan turned to look at him again, with surprise in her eyes.

"You didn't go back to the capital, what are you doing now?" Yang Zhen paused, and seeing that he was about to say those words, he quickly said, "Since you have brought your family here, you are staying in Qingzhou. After a few days, I will treat you well, and I will send the people away in a few days. There are many things on the mountain, so I will not disturb you. It can be regarded as giving you a few days off. When you have finished entertaining your family, you will come back. "

Ning Lang choked and was about to answer, but Jiang Yunlan reached out and stopped him.

Jiang Yunlan smiled at her, and asked, "I don't know what my son is doing in this cottage, whether it has caused any trouble for Miss Yang."

"It's not troublesome, but it's useless." Yang Zhen said rudely: "There is no shortage of food for him on the left and right mountains, just keep it up. He can also read and count, and he is a little more educated than those on the mountain. Occasionally Helping the mountain to settle accounts is not a waste of food."

Ning Lang choked again.

He touched his nose, and he couldn't say anything to refute her so rude words.

There are many mountain bandits in the cottage, and most of them rely on hunting for a living on weekdays. Selling the fur to the towns under the mountain is still a lot of money. He couldn't lift his hands and couldn't resist, and he couldn't even hunt, because he could only keep track of the numbers on weekdays—this job was originally Yang Zhen, but because he saw that he was a simple eater, he reluctantly gave it to him.

Jiang Yunlan's face was as usual, and she said with a slight smile, "Thanks to Miss Yang."

Yang Zhen felt very uncomfortable all over.

She coughed and said, "If nothing happens, then I'll go first."

"Miss Yang, wait." Jiang Yunlan's team turned to look at Chuntao, and Chuntao immediately saw what she had prepared earlier. Things are packed in a brocade box, and nothing can be seen from the outside. "Thanks to Miss Yang for taking care of my son on weekdays, I'm here with my son today. I'm very disturbed. I hope Miss Yang will accept this."

"What is this?" Yang Zhen took it suspiciously.

She glanced at Jiang Yunlan, opened the box quietly in her hand, lowered her eyes and glanced secretly inside, but couldn't see what it was, but only saw a piece of jewels that almost blinded her. Yang Zhen hissed, took a deep breath, and opened the box unceremoniously.

Several gold ingots were neatly packed in the box, and the other mountain bandits were immediately straightened.

Yang Zhen also straightened his eyes. He didn't look away from the gold for a moment, and only asked, "What is this?"

Jiang Yunlan smiled and said, "It's a gift for Miss Yang."

Be nice.

This meeting ceremony is also a bit too expensive.

Yang Zhen reached out and touched this, then that, and then picked up a gold ingot and weighed it in his hand. He felt its heavy weight, and when he raised his head again, the look in Jiang Yunlan's eyes suddenly changed.

When she spoke again, her tone softened, and she couldn't help but put on a warm smile on her face: "Mrs Ning, look at you, you are Ning Lang's mother, we should entertain you, it's good, What gift are you bringing?" She said, but quickly closed the box and handed it to the other men.

The subordinate took the box and ran away in a hurry, not even giving everyone a chance to keep it.

Yang Zhen said enthusiastically: "Mrs. Ning is here, but she can't just leave so easily. Why don't you stay in my cottage for a few more days, and I'll let you hunt wild pork for you to taste. You are usually in the capital, Surely you can't taste these?"

Jiang Yunlan replied cheerfully, "Then I will trouble Miss Yang."

Ning Lang looked left at this and right at that. He didn't understand why, but it was just a few pieces of gold, but it made the relationship between the two of them advance by leaps and bounds.

Jiang Yunlan asked someone to talk to Ning Nuan, and then she took people to live in the cottage. Most of the cottages are men. Ning Nuan is a girl, and it is not easy to come here. Fortunately, there are people in Qingzhou City who can protect Ning Nuan.

Yang Zhenle hugged the box and ran to his residence, but before he could get there, someone hurriedly chased after him.

"Wait! Wait!" Ning Lang anxiously chased after her.

Yang Zhen looked back and had to stop.

"What are you doing to me again?" Yang Zhen said with a headache: "I didn't tell you before, I just assumed that nothing happened. I told you not to worry about it, and you still remember to do it. What. It's okay to go back to the capital, why do you want to come back?"

Ning Lang explained: "It's not like I can't say I can't come back when I return to the capital."

Yang Zhen's head hurt even more: "Then come back when you come back, what are you doing with your mother?"

"That's it, my mother... My mother knew what I did wrong, so she made me... uh!" Ning Lang's eyes widened, and before she could finish speaking, she covered her mouth first.

"I know what you're going to say." Yang Zhen said, "I don't want to hear it. I just made it clear to you. Since even you said it was wrong, let's not just blame it. You apologized to me and apologized to me. Accepted." She shook the box in her hand, "Since that's the case, we can be considered even, just pretend that nothing happened, isn't it better?"

Ning Lang was in a hurry, and pulled her hand down with both hands: "How can this be done!"

"Where can't it be?!"

"If I did something wrong, I have to bear the consequences. A manly man, if I can't even take responsibility, how can I support our Ning family's appearance in the future?" Ning Lang pointed to the back and said, "You Look, my mother is here too, and my mother agrees with what I do, so you should be able to understand what I mean, right?"

Yang Zhen stretched out his hand, poked him on the shoulder, staggered him, and took a few steps back.

"Then I will tell you the truth. I rejected you several times, just as I told you before, I despised you." Yang Zhen said cruelly and directly: "Being friends with you, I do I don't mind, it's just a matter of eye contact to be a friend, but if you are my husband, you are nothing to my liking."

Ning Lang was a little aggrieved, gave her a pitiful look, lowered his head again, stared at the tip of his shoe, and said in a low voice, "Since you like me, that's not necessarily impossible."

"Look at you, in terms of skills, you will only hide behind me when you encounter something, and in terms of talent and learning, compared with these people on the mountain, you are indeed powerful, but I know how much ink you have in your stomach, but you are only literate. To settle the account, if you were really powerful, you would have gone to participate in the autumn festival a few days ago, don't you think?"

Ning Lang lowered his head even lower, unable to say anything to refute.

He was a little disappointed, and a little unconvinced: "If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?"

"Even if I don't marry anyone, on this Qinglong Mountain, I am also a king of the mountain, is it not enough to be happy?"

"..."

Ning Lang was speechless for a moment.

He lowered his head in despair, and his whole body was stunned.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Zhenzhen felt a little unbearable. Looking at Ning Lang's appearance, she was even more pitiful than the big dog guarding the gate of the cottage who was robbed of his bones, Yang Zhen thought about it, patted his shoulder again, and said, "Look, there are more people in the capital than I am a beautiful and gentle girl. All of them are in line with your preferences. If you don’t like me like this, let’s pretend that nothing happened. You take your mother back, and then go to the capital to find a suitable girl to marry, isn’t it? better?"

Ning Lang raised his head, glanced at her with moist eyes, and lowered his head again without saying a word.

He whispered softly: "I don't dislike you either."

"what?"

Ning Lang's voice became louder: "I said, if you are my wife, I don't mind."

Yang Zhen: "..."

Yang Zhen sighed: "But I don't mind."

Ning Lang was speechless.

The words were so hurtful that he was speechless all of a sudden.

After a long time, Ning Lang said, "I will come again."

Yang Zhen felt that her head was starting to hurt again, and she thought in her heart, if Ning Lang left the stockade next time, she would tell everyone that he would not be able to come in again, so that Ning Lang would not chase after him. ran with her.

"I know, you look down on me, in terms of talent and martial arts, I can't compare to anyone, and there are many people in the capital who look down on me. My father often said that I am stupid, no matter how stupid I am, I will I also know that I have to take responsibility. If you don’t like me, I will stay away from you in the future. I will just watch from a distance and will never disturb you.”

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when he was quickly interrupted.

"I know, you don't want to see me, but you said earlier that you are willing to be friends with me, you just need to treat me as your friend, and I won't mention this again in the future, I only Bring it to mind."

Yang Zhen: "..."

Ning Lang said solemnly, "Although I'm a bit stupid, I won't give up everything so easily. From now on, I will think of you silently in my heart, until you feel that I am your husband. You haven't fallen in love with someone else, can you let me marry you again?"

Yang Zhen was dumbfounded.

After a long time, she said, "Don't give up when the time comes."

Ning Lang said, "Then I'll go back to the capital, and I'll never bother you again in front of your eyes."

Yang Zhen was speechless again.

She thought to herself: No wonder that little lady insisted on asking her to come over and talk to Ning Lang in person. Maybe she knew Ning Lang's temperament and knew that even if she said it, Ning Lang would not agree, so she specially asked her to come to Ning Lang. Long.

Ganqing had just escaped, but was coaxed back by Ning Lang's sister.

Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Then do as you said."

Ning Lang breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.

He thought for a while, and then asked, "Then how many steps can I stay away from you in the future?"

Yang Zhen: "..."

Yang Zhen suddenly had a headache, hurriedly picked up his gold box, and ran away in a hurry.

Ning Lang didn't catch up, watching her back disappear around the corner, and then returned to his room in a happy way.

As soon as he entered the door, a kitten with yellow tabby stripes jumped out, rubbed against his leg, and let out a soft "meow".

Ning Lang bent down and picked up the kitten, touched the fur on its back, and said earnestly, "You have to turn into a tiger quickly, or you won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

"Meow~"

After receiving the news from Jiang Yunlan, Ning Nuan was relieved.

Although she was alone in Qingzhou City, she was not worried by the protection of King An's people.

Only Chu Fei was even more happy after hearing the news. He followed Ning Nuan from the teahouse back to the inn, and watched Ning Nuan enter the house, and then returned to his room.

Not long after returning home, Chu Fei came over and knocked on the door happily: "Miss Ning, this morning you said you were going to go out to Qingzhou City, although there was a temporary accident in the middle, but now the matter is resolved, it's still early. , why don't I accompany you out for a walk?"

He didn't hear the answer from inside, but Xiang Tao came over to open the door and said with a stern face: "My lord, please come back, our lady has rested."

Chu Fei had to walk away.

He returned to the room again, and then he had an idea, and asked Wang Quan to prepare a pen and paper, sharpen the ink, and start writing the letter with the pen.

Ning Nuan sat in the room for a while, when she suddenly heard someone knock on the window, she glanced at Xiang Tao, and Xiang Tao hurried over to open the window. Outside the window is the street, and there are people coming and going. Xiang Tao was about to close the door, but suddenly a letter floated and fell from the sky and landed on the windowsill.

Peach: "… "

Xiang Tao picked up the letter, closed the window helplessly, turned back and said to Ning Nuan, "Miss, it is His Royal Highness An Wang who has sent you a letter again."

"Bring it to me."

Xiang Tao handed the letter to her, made her a cup of tea, and sat down beside her, sighing, "The madam and the young master went to the mountains, why didn't you take you with me, miss?"

While looking at the letter, Ning Nuan responded casually, "What?"

"Madam didn't come back when she went, leaving the young lady to stay in the inn by herself for one night, and now there is news that she will stay for a few more days." Xiang Tao sighed: "Although the young master has left someone for a while. Protect Miss, but Madam doesn't know that His Royal Highness An Wang also came to Qingzhou and lives next door to Miss. Now that Madam doesn't come back, isn't it just to give King An a chance? Let King An come to pester Miss?"

Ning Nuan quickly glanced at the letter and said, "So what if you're here."

"They are all in the same inn. If His Royal Highness Prince An comes to pester the young lady again, the young lady will not be able to stop her." Xiang Tao said, and sighed heavily: "It would be fine if it was in the mansion, but there is a wall blocking it. Also, there are gatekeepers, and even the madam will not let His Royal Highness An Wang come over easily, but now the madam is on the mountain, and I am the only one to accompany the young lady in the inn. His Royal Highness An Wang has been entangled for a day today, and I don’t know what will happen after that. What about Miss Entanglement?"

"Xiang Tao, polish the ink for me."

Xiang Tao responded, got up and fetched the banknotes for her, and stood aside to grind ink. Seeing that she started to pick up a pen to write a reply, she added, "You see, miss, you never paid attention to His Royal Highness Prince An in the past, but now it's better that you are still willing to write to Prince An."

"I lived next to him, and he ignored him when he came to shout. Now that he has sent a letter, he wants you to run around and send messages back and forth?"

Peach: "… "

Xiang Tao thought about it, and couldn't help shivering.

She whispered softly, "Miss, it's better if you ignore him."

Ning Nuan smiled and said nothing.

She wrote the reply, got up and walked to the window, clipping the reply in the crack of the window. Soon, a figure flashed by outside, and the letter caught in the crack of the window disappeared. "

Xiang Tao became curious again.

"Miss, what did His Royal Highness An Wang say in the letter?"

"There is a custom in Qingzhou City. When a day comes every year, the city will be held to celebrate." Ning Nuan said, "He came to ask me if I would like to visit with him at night."

Xiang Tao's eyes widened: "The lady agreed?"

"I didn't agree."

Xiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Nuan added: "I seem to have heard of it in the book before, why don't we go out at night and have a look together."

Xiang Tao was startled: "Just the slave and the young lady?"

"no."

"Who else is there?"

Ning Nuan pointed to himself: "Master Ning." He pointed to her again: "He Shutong."

Peach: "… "

Ning Nuan stayed in the inn for an afternoon, and lunch was also settled in the inn. When the sky gradually darkened, the street outside slowly became lively. Standing in front of the window, Ning Nuan could see that there were many more people walking on the street than in the daytime. Lanterns were hung in front of each store, illuminating the entire street as bright as day.

She changed into men's clothes, and after confirming that the people sent by Ning Lang were around, she dragged Xiang Tao out with her.

Xiang Tao's heart was pounding nervously, until she stood on the street and saw many girls dressed as young girls walking outside, then she opened her eyes and looked at everything on the street curiously. She had never seen it before, not even in the book, and felt that everything was very novel.

"The book says that there was a great general in Qingzhou. At that time, when the war was chaotic, there were enemy troops who wanted to take Qingzhou. It was the general who guarded the gate of the city and did not let the enemy in." Ning Nuan said: "Later Qingzhou All the people defended the enemy together, and at that time there were only 2,000 people in Qingzhou City, but the enemy army was tens of thousands, but they were also blocked."

"Is that today?" Xiang Tao asked.

"Later, in order to commemorate this day, people in Qingzhou will celebrate in the same city every year. On this day, there is no curfew, and everyone will come out." Ning Nuan took out the money and bought a meal at the small stall. , gave half of it to Xiang Tao: "It's been a long time, but this habit has been retained. Throughout the year, except for the New Year, the most lively day is this day."

Peach nodded.

Qingzhou's folk customs are open, and on this day, everyone has come out of the house, and some girls dressed as girls are walking with the men. They don't look like brothers and sisters, but like a pair of lovers.

Xiang Tao looked straight.

She called out to Madam a few times in her heart, and remembered that Madam was on the mountain and was not here, so she hurriedly looked at Ning Nuan, her face full of tension, for fear that some men would suddenly collide with their young lady.

Xiang Tao followed Ning Nuan step by step, staring nervously at the people passing by, but she didn't realize that after they left the inn, the head prince in the next room also dressed up and waved his fan to go out. met by chance.

It's just that there are so many people on the street today that it's easy to get scattered even if they come out together, not to mention that he is still a few steps behind.

Standing at the door of the inn, Chu Fei looked at the endless crowd, glanced to the left, then looked back, but could not find a familiar figure in any case.

Wang Quan reminded: "Miss Ning wore men's clothes when she went out, so please don't look at the girls."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Fei tapped his head with a fan: "Isn't this king such a lecher?"

Wang Quan responded quickly: "The slave is wrong, of course the prince is not."

"When you get here, you should change your name to avoid revealing your identity."

Wang Quan: "The servant knows, young master."

Chu Fei looked at the crowd again, but saw that there were many women disguised as men, and he was speechless. This Qingzhou folk style is open, but even the girls are reluctant to dress up. They try to dress up like men, and they don't know who they learned from.

He shook his head and walked out.

"Master? We're not looking for Ning girl anymore?"

"I just came here. There are so many people here, so I can only see luck."

Chu Fei thought to himself: He has such a relationship with A Nuan, even in such a crowd, he would definitely be able to touch him.

And the other side.

After hearing the news, Ning Lang hurriedly went to Yang Zhen's house to find him.

"I heard that the city under the mountain is very lively today. I just stood on the top and took a look. The bottom is very bright. Why don't you go down with me to play?"

Yang Zhen was confused.

Ning Lang hurriedly added: "It's just an invitation from a friend. We've also gone down the mountain together on weekdays, haven't we?"

What else can Yang Zhen say? Only got up to answer his words.
