Bai Lanshi waved his hands in front of Qi Huan a few times, "Qi Huan?" His wrist was grabbed suddenly, and Qi Huan withdrew his hand like an electric shock when he came back to his senses, "Brother, I just lost my mind."

Originally, the place where Shuyan sat was empty, Qi Huan said, "Shuyan?"

Bai Lanshi put his red hands back into his sleeves, "Shu Yan just left." With his hands in his sleeves, he groped for his red wrists, "The army is busy with things, Shu Yan only invited me for half a day, and now I'm rushing back. "

Qi Huan nodded, feeling a little at a loss with his hands on his knees, glanced at Bai Lanshi and quickly moved his eyes away, looking around.

"Your Highness seems to be restless." Bai Lanshi said.

Qi Huan forced a smile, "I guess I'm tired, I haven't had a good rest recently."

Bai Lanshi turned sideways, opened the small wooden box beside him, picked out a sachet from it in his slender hand, and handed it to Qi Huan.

Qi Huan picked up the sachet and sniffed it under his nose, then smiled, "It smells so good!"

Bai Lanshi pushed the box lightly with his fingers, and closed the box, "This is a medicine sachet, and it contains all the herbs for soothing the nerves."

"Tie it to the head of the bed at night to help you sleep." Bai Lanshi rested his arms on the support, frowned slightly and closed his eyes, and gently kneaded his temples with his two fingers together, showing a tired look on his face.

Qi Huan put the medicine bag in his arms, stood up and helped Bai Lanshi up, "Let me help my brother go to the inner room to rest for a while."

Bai Lanshi didn't refuse, and was indeed a little mentally ill. He took off his coat and lay down on the bed, looking puzzled at Qi Huan who was standing aside.

"Brother goes to bed first, I'll wake him up after dinner." Qi Huan said with narrowed eyes and a smile. It's been a long time since I saw him, Qi Huan wished he could stick to Bai Lanshi's side all the time, he didn't want to take his eyes off.

Bai Lanshi closed his eyes, because of his exhaustion, he did not sleep well, and dreamed about memories of the past.

Bian Yujing brought fifteen-year-old Bai Lanshi to Beijing and stayed in the palace where His Majesty Qi Shu was still a prince. He not only had friendship with Tong Yuwan and went to visit, but was invited to protect Qi Huan.

At that time, the fight for the throne was extremely dangerous, and the undercurrent of assassins in the capital was surging, ready to kill the powerful at any time.

Relying on her childhood friendship with Bian Yujing, Tong Yuwan asked someone to go to Xuanji Pavilion to ask Bian Yujing to come out of the mountain to protect Qi Huan, who was a seven-year-old child at the time.

Bian Yujing brought Bai Lanshi into the palace, "Lanshi, this trip is not only for training, but more importantly, to protect the young master named Qi Huan."

Bai Lanshi, who was already fifteen at the time, had more or less heard about royal battles from his master, and bloodshed was inevitable, so he just nodded and promised to Bian Yujing that he would protect Qi Huan.

At that time, Qi Shu led the concubine Chen Fanrou and the side concubine Tong Yuwan to welcome him when he entered the palace. Bian Yujing has the title of the master of the Xuanji Pavilion, and now that he has more power in the world, it is more protection. Qi Shu is so happy to Bai Lan Shi entered the palace to live.

When Bian Yujing and Qi Shu were courteous to each other, Bai Lanshi noticed that there were two children, and Bian Yujing didn't tell him what Qi Huan looked like.

Bai Lanshi felt an undisguised sticking to his body, frowned slightly and lowered his eyes to look for it. Unexpectedly, just looking at each other for a short moment, the pink-white child ran out from behind the woman, He hugged his leg.

Bai Lanshi was taken aback, and his brows furrowed even deeper. Unconsciously, the child raised his face and said with a bright smile, "Brother Immortal."

It made everyone present burst into laughter, and later Bai Lanshi found out that the child was Qi Huan, and Qi Huan was very attached to him, which saved trouble.

Although Qi Huan is sometimes a jerk, he is still well-behaved in front of him most of the time.

In his sleep, Bai Lanshi curled his lips slightly.

The scene changed to the scene of descending from the temple in the outskirts. At that time, the violent wind and rain captivated people's eyes. Bai Lanshi and Qi Huan searched for the way down the mountain step by step, but found a group of killers.

Bai Lanshi squinted his eyes, showing obvious killing intent for the first time, and placed Qi Huan under a tree. Seeing Qi Huan trembling like a frightened rabbit, Bai Lanshi felt soft in his heart. What did you do wrong, why should innocent children be involved in the power and desire disputes seen by adults.

Patiently comforting Qi Huan, he walked towards a group of black-clothed assassins. The leader raised his chin and said, "Hand over that kid, and let you escape."

Bai Lanshi drew out his sword and pointed at the speaker, tilted his head and smiled, extremely contemptuously, "Together?"

It feels very bad to be underestimated, the black-clothed assassin rushed towards Bailanshi without hesitation, and the rain on the ground was splashed up.

Bai Lanshi no longer knew how these people cut him down with his sword, his eyes were red with blood, and he didn't feel how many knives he had received on his body. He only thought that if he didn't tell them all, they would all be sent to see the King of Hades, so they would die It is myself and Qi Huan.

When he regained consciousness, he saw Qi Huan staring at him with wide eyes, eyes full of fear. Bailan Shitou panicked once and was completely at a loss when he saw those eyes.

Opening his eyes abruptly, Bai Lanshi saw the top of the gauze curtain, and realized that he had just dreamed. He covered the candlelight with the back of his hand on his eyes, panting slightly, calming down the restless emotions in his heart just now.

"Brother is awake!" Qi Huan got up from the chair, went to the bed and sat down.

"What time is it?" Bai Lanshi put down his hands, propped up his upper body, squinted his eyes to adapt to the bright light.

"It's time, brother." Qi Huan said, "Do you want to eat, brother?"

"You have been guarding?" Bai Lanshi said.

Qi Huan smiled and did not answer, but asked instead, "Is my brother always sleeping so restlessly?"

"Am I talking in my sleep again?" Bai Lanshi had some headaches. Ever since he fell into the water, his body has become weak and he can't even sleep soundly. He often hears about his nightmares from Rong Le.

Qi Huan nodded, "But before I could hear clearly, my brother fell silent."

Bai Lanshi breathed a sigh of relief, the scene from the dream just now still lingers in his mind.

"Brother, let's eat." Qi Huan said.

The two sat at the table opposite each other, having their dinner with their own concerns.

King Rui's carriage was driving on the deserted avenue, Qi Huan pulled up the curtain of the side window, and stared at the full moon hanging in the sky bewilderedly.

Na Na said to herself, "Don't be afraid." Then she seemed to be caught in some kind of not-so-good memory, her brows furrowed together.

Although Prince Rui's mansion is brightly lit, it always makes Qi Huan feel very deserted. Apart from the low-browed and pleasing servants, the huge palace has no vitality.

There is no one who can let him stay by his side with peace of mind, wasting the past hundred years, Qi Huan suddenly wants to go to Changqing Mansion, because there are flesh and blood people with distinctive personalities. It was even more because sitting behind the piles of paper doors was the person he thought about day and night.

Although Bai Lanshi could only stay in that square house, Qi Huan felt that that small room was the whole world, and it was full of things he longed for.

Qi Huan had a dream that night. In the dream, Bai Lanshi was covered in scars, looking at the little Qi Huan with piercing indifference in his eyes. Qi Jing half wrapped his arms around Bai Lanshi's shoulders and whispered a few words in his ear. sentence.

Bai Lanshi actually smiled, like the warm spring breeze after melting ice, followed Qi Jing and walked forward. Qi Huan desperately chased after him, but he was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't catch up no matter what.

Sitting on the spot with numb hands and feet, weeping loudly, waiting for Bai Lanshi to come to him as before, even if he kicked him, it would be good. But Bai Lanshi didn't, he just looked back and frowned at the tearful Qi Huan, "You're still crying at such an adult."

Qi Huan sucked his nose and held back his tears, and stretched his arms towards Bai Lanshi, wanting to hug him.

Bai Lanshi didn't look back anymore, and let Qi Jing hold his hand, walking towards the dazzling light, locking Qi Huan forever in the impenetrable, bone-chilling darkness.

The feeling of waking up in the dream made Qi Huan rejoice. After sorting out the real plot, he spit out the stale air that had been pent up in his chest, moved his limp limbs, pulled down the medicine bag hanging on the curtain and rubbed it in his hands, not daring to let it out again. go to sleep.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the snow, reflecting dazzling light, Rong Le is wearing a red jacket and beaming with joy.

"My lord, medicine." Rong Le said.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you." Rong Le took the empty jade bowl and said, "It seems to be from the Escort Bureau."

Luke De.

Bai Lanshi laughed, Zinc Gate Escort Bureau was nothing more than that, it took so long to find out.

"Let someone wait for me in the pavilion." Bai Lanshi said.

Rong Le placed charcoal basins around the pavilion, added aromatherapy and baked it for a while, and only after confirming that there was no air leakage around the pavilion did he pick up Bai Lanshi.

Lu Kaide brought a big box with his brothers in the escort agency, put down the box and let people go out, and sat alone in the pavilion waiting for Bai Lanshi.

Looking at Rong Le who was busy busy, he smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the girl's name."

Rong Le bowed, "Nu Rong Le."

"Good name." Lu Kaide smiled even more, looking at Rong Le with a man's unique appreciation.

Bai Lanshi leaned against the table, ignoring the undisguised desire in Lu Kaide's eyes, and said jokingly, "Let's take a trip to the lake outside the school, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I heard that Mr. Bai was unwell, so Lu couldn't come to visit. How is Mr. Bai?" Lu Kaide asked.

Bai Lanshi, "Thanks to Chief Lu's concern, Bai's body is already on the verge of dying, and one day is considered a one-man job. Chief Lu didn't come here today just to see Bai."

Lu Kaide patted his thigh and laughed loudly, "I admire a straightforward person like Mr. Bai."

"I came here this time to thank Miss Rong Le for saving her life back then." Lu Kaide looked at Rong Le who was on the side, and Rong Le, who was named, looked at Bai Lanshi in confusion.

Bai Lanshi: "Rong Le, do you remember Escort Lu?"

Rong Le looked at Lu Kaide carefully, and Lu Kaide was a little excited, "I am the bearded man who strayed into Xuanji Mountain back then." As he spoke, he gestured to stroke his beard.

As the memory came back, Rong Le's eyes gradually lit up, "Oh, you are that idiot!"

Lu Kaide smiled foolishly, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment, "At least give me some face in front of Mr. Bai."

Rong Le said to the smiling Bai Lanshi, "My lord, I have indeed seen Bodyguard Lu. At that time, Bodyguard Lu strayed into Xuanji Mountain by mistake. It was I who released him from the mountain."

Bai Lanshi nodded slightly, "I never thought there would be such a fate."

The two of them agreed tacitly and didn't mention the matter on the lake in the suburbs. Lu Kaide pointed to the box beside him, "These are gadgets I've collected from my escorts for many years, and they brought Rong Le entertainment."

After all, Rong Le's eyes lit up when he was still a child, but he still looked back at Bai Lanshi's face, and seeing that Bai Lanshi agreed, he happily ran to the box.

Lu Kaide helped open the box, which was full of inexpensive but interesting gadgets, as well as a few things for my daughter's house.

Rong Le looked at the dazzling array of things, his eyes were bent with a smile, "My lord, can I accept this slave?"

Bai Lanshi smiled back, "Head Lu sent you this, ask what you are doing, Young Master."

Rong Le understood, and smiled brightly at Lu Kaide, "It's not for nothing to help you."

Lu Kaide: "I still have a lot of these things. If Miss Rong Le doesn't mind, I'll bring them together next time."

Rong Le took out a hairpin and waved his hand, "No, this is enough."
