After Shi Langqi left, Bai Lanshi sat on the chair staring at the cracks in the ground in a daze.

This body has been with him for eight years, and it took him eight years to accept it. How could he accept it with his arrogant heart. The young man once raised a sharp knife, and fantasized about defending his family and the country, and beheading Xiaoxiao who offended me.

The young man traveled the world with his master and saw the ghosts and ghosts in this world, but there are also many people with lofty ideals and benevolent people.

All things are I, and I am all things.

Heaven failed to fulfill one's wish, but the unruly boy was trapped in this boxy house for eight years. Bai Lanshi thought that his mind had been smoothed, but Shi Langqi's words that he was weaker than ordinary Confucians could make his blood boil.

He greedily fantasizes that he can step on a steed, gallop on the edge of the world, and lift the saber that he has locked under the bed. He thinks a lot, and forgets the time.

Not sure if this was another empty joy, but at this moment he understood that he was not as desireless as he imagined, this body had always been a rusty knot in his hidden heart.

Now I turned it out and cleaned it carefully. Although it was painful, I felt relaxed.

Bai Lanshi came to his senses and realized that the sky was already dark, candle lamps were lit everywhere, Qi Huan leaned on the back of the chair with his arms wrapped around his chest, and dozed off with his head folded.

A light yellow halo hit the side of his face, showing the handsome facial features of a young man. The tall Qi Huan curled up on a chair aggrieved.

"Qi Huan." Bai Lanshi gently pushed Qi Huan. The latter opened his eyes in a daze, and looked around, propping up the chair with his hands to straighten his sliding body.

When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he said in a nasal voice, "It's evening, brother, I'm hungry." As he spoke, his stomach gurgled.

"What do you want to eat?" Bai Lanshi smiled.

Bai Lanshi is beautiful, but because of the sad look between his brows, the brows and brows of the person in front of him are mostly relieved, as if seeing him for the first time ten years ago.

Qi Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he has been ill for a long time, and heart disease is the most difficult to cure.

He wanted to know why his brother fell into the water? How have the past few years been? Do you think of me when you are sad and lost? But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"What do you want to eat, brother?" Qi Huan smiled and showed his little canine teeth.

Rong Le came back from the dining room, "I have seen King Rui, my lord."

Bai Lanshi put down his chopsticks, glanced up and down at Rongle, "Why is it so late?"

Rong Le pointed at his face and blinked, "My lord, haven't you noticed any changes in this slave?"

Both sides of Rong Le's mouth were dotted with red dimples, and his hair was combed into a lily bun that is popular in Beijing.

"The hair bun has changed, and the dimples on the face have also been lightened. It seems that Rong Le has grown up and knows beauty." Bai Lanshi joked seeing the girl's agile appearance.

Rong Le shyly stirred her hands behind her back, "Miss Yun'er next to Kang Wang was enslaved, she said that her daughter's family should learn to dress herself up."

"Is the son slave so good-looking?"

Rong Lesheng's white porcelain baby face, with dimples on both sides of the mouth, does not look like an ordinary daughter's family style, but a bit like a New Year's doll in a hanging painting, very festive.

Bai Lanshi squinted at Qi Huan, who was covering his mouth and suppressing a smile, and thought carefully for a while before he could speak, "Rong Le is born beautiful, she looks good no matter what."

The young girl was shallow-minded, with all her emotions and anger showing on her face, "By the way, my lord, King Kang stayed alone in Taolin for a long time after you left, and asked me a lot about you."

"But I'm awake, and I haven't revealed a word about the young master to Kang Wang."

Bai Lanshi frowned subconsciously, and saw Qi Huan stretch out his hand to smooth the wrinkles between Bai Lanshi's eyebrows, "Brother, don't frown."

Bai Lanshi looked up at the smiling Qi Huan, and didn't take his behavior seriously, "I see, let's go back and rest."

While talking, Bai Lanshi felt that he had lost his appetite, so he sat aside and watched Qi Huan eat.

"Why didn't brother eat?"

"full."

Qi Huan paid special attention to Bai Lanshi when he was eating, and saw that he only drank a small bowl of soup and ate a few mouthfuls of food, and now he said he was full, which made Qi Huan frown, "Brother eats too little, it's not good for your body. it is good."

Then he filled a bowl of porridge and put it in front of Bai Lanshi, "Brother, do you want another bowl of porridge?"

"I'm full." Bai Lanshi looked at Qi Huan in surprise.

"Brother, just eat a bowl. The porridge is smooth and won't take up your stomach." Qi Huan pushed the bowl forward again.

Bai Lanshi said with a smile, "His Royal Highness will lie on the table if you push again."

Qi Huan and Bai Lanshi sat face to face at the round table, separated by an arm's length, which forced Qi Huan to lean over the table to pass things.

Bai Lanshi got up but was pulled by Qi Huan's sleeves, blinked his eyes and said pitifully: "Brother, it's my first time serving food to someone!"

It's funny for Bai Lanshi to think about it, but under Qi Huan's stalking, he actually stuffed that bowl of porridge down his stomach. Under Qi Huan's praise, Bai Lanshi sighed while resting his forehead, rubbing his swollen stomach until the middle of the night to feel better.

Before sleeping for a while, Rong Le woke him up, "My lord, Doctor Shi is waiting outside the door!"

Bai Lanshi opened his eyes suddenly, "What time is it?"

"It's time!" Rong Le touched Bai Lanshi's forehead with his hand, "I don't have a fever, why did you sleep late today, young master? Is he feeling unwell?"

"I slept late last night." Bai Lanshi hurriedly washed up.

"My lord, use some first..." Bai Lanshi walked out quickly before he finished speaking.

Bai Lanshi has been bedridden for the past eight years, and his body is a little uncomfortable after not exercising for a long time, so he followed Shi Langqi's back and stumbled to make a set.

When Qi Huan came, he happened to meet Bai Lanshi learning Wu Qinxi with Shi Langqi, walked up to Lu Yan and sat down, picked up a side of fruit and gnawed, "When did your son practice it?"

Lu Yan gritted his teeth and stared at Shi Langqi, "I've been practicing for a while."

"Why do you look like this?" Qi Huan saw that the fruit in Lu Yan's hand had been scratched by his fingernails.

"The young master got up without breakfast and started punching with Liar Shi, hmph!"

Rong Le handed over the tea, and dropped the teacup heavily to Lu Yan's side, "Lu Yan, you are just jealous, and I am afraid that the young master will not want you."

Lu Yan stood up, pointed at Rong Le and said, "What do you know about movies, you little girl, you look like a baby."

Hmph, Rong Le put down his teacup and ran to wipe Bai Lanshi's sweat. The sun was rising, and Bai Lanshi's cheeks were slightly flushed due to exercise, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qi Huan stared at it for a while, "Brother didn't use breakfast?" Lu Yan took a bite of the bruised fruit in his hand, chewing vaguely, "Isn't that right, for him, you don't need breakfast."

Qi Huan thought about it for a thousand times, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Bai Lanshi coming with a square towel wiping his sweat. Qi Huan hurriedly brought the untouched tea to the side, "Drink water, brother."

After Bai Lanshi took it, he turned around and handed it to Shi Langqi who was behind him. Shi Langqi looked at the teacup in Lu Yan's hand, "Master, I'll just use my younger brother's."

Seeing this, Lu Yan picked up the teacup on the side and took a big sip, then stretched it out to Shi Langqi with a smile, "Sorry, I've already drank it."

Shi Langqi took a sip from Lu Yan's hand, frowned, "It's cold."

Qi Huan snatched the cup from Bai Lanshi's hand, held it to Bai Lanshi's lips, "Brother, my water is still hot."

Bai Lanshi frowned slightly, and shouted into the distance, "Rong Le brought a glass of water to my room." Then he turned and walked away.

Shi Langqi looked at Qi Huan meaningfully, "Your Highness is King Rui?"

"Huh?" Qi Huan drank the water in the glass in one gulp, and said unhappily.

"The road is long and long." Shi Langqi looked at Qi Huan and said meaningfully.

Qi Huan frowned and glanced at Lu Yan, who was still in shock and hadn't recovered from his senses, and suddenly laughed, "Each to each other." Then he turned and chased Bai Lanshi.

Bai Lanshi was sweating profusely, and went to take a bath after eating some cakes to pad his stomach. Qi Huan entered the room and whispered, "Brother... Brother..."

"Huh?" The voice came from the inner room, and Qi Huan slipped in quietly, and saw Bai Lanshi soaking in the bathtub with his eyes closed and rested, the steam was suffocating and the person was dizzy.

Because of the water vapor, Bai Lanshi's eyelashes were wet, his hair was submerged in the water, and some of it stuck to his fair neck.

Qi Huan had never seen this scene before, his face turned red, and he accidentally bumped into a stool beside him when he turned around. Bai Lanshi opened his eyes and looked at Qi Huan who was at a loss, "It's just in time for you to come, please Your Highness put the stool on the table Bring me the water." As he spoke, he pointed to the teacup on the small table in the corner.

With the sound of splashing water, Qi Huan turned his back, covered his eyes with one hand and rubbed towards the small table bit by bit, and rubbed back bit by bit after touching, "Brother here."

Seeing the person holding the water cup at his feet, Bai Lanshi smiled angrily: "It's all men, why are you ashamed?"

Qi Huan said in his heart: Yes, they are all men, so I look like a big girl.

After completing the psychological preparation, he heard the sound of rushing water behind him, then lightened his hand, saw Bai Lanshi got up and took the cup, took a sip, then put the cup back into Qi Huan's hand, standing barefoot on the blanket, He took some towels from the shelf and wiped himself.

Qi Huan froze in place, and slowly moved to the wall, pressing his cheek against the cold wall to cool down.

After Bai Lanshi fastened the lining, seeing Qi Huan still leaning against the wall, he went out with a chuckle.

Qi Huan calmed down for a while before realizing that there was no sound behind him, and asked, "Brother?"

"Brother, are you still there?"

"Brother? I'm turning around!"

Qi Huan turned around and saw Rong Le holding his clothes and staring at him in surprise, he was startled, and could calm his mind, "Where's your son?"

"Ah? Ah!" Rong Le came back to his senses, "Young master is eating in the front room!"

"Oh good." Qi Huan went out and came back again, "Don't speak out." Rong Le nodded, "And... clean up." After speaking, he ran away.

Seeing Rong Le come out, Bai Lanshi looked back, "Where's Qi Huan?"

Rong Le covered his mouth and said with a smile: "King Rui reckoned he went through the window and left."

Lu Yan strode over, "My lord, General Wei Wei is here with Miss Qin."

"Please go to the living room, I will go quickly."

"It's the son"

Although Wei Ting was a soldier, he was not tall and thick, on the contrary, he was well-proportioned and strong, and his body was darkened after a long battle.

Even if he was wearing ordinary clothes and sitting quietly on a chair, it was difficult to conceal the temperament of a military man.

"General Wei." Bai Lanshi bowed.

"Sir, you don't have to be polite to me." Wei Wei helped Bai Lanshi up, and Qin Zhu who was beside him hurriedly helped Bai Lanshi sit on the chair. Bai Lanshi smiled and waved his hands and joked, "Miss Qin treats me like this, isn't she afraid of the general's taste?"

Seeing Qin Zhu's cheeks blushing, and sitting at the side without saying a word, Wei Wei patted Qin Zhu's hand, "Sir, Qin Zhu has already told me."

"Oh?" Bai Lanshi looked slightly surprised.

"Wei is here to thank Mr. for helping his wife." Wei Wei looked at Qin Zhu with tenderness in his eyes.

"I just introduced people to Le Lao, and Qin Zhu stayed because of his excellence." Bai Lanshi picked up the tea and took a sip.

The Le Lao that Bai Lanshi spoke of was the palace musician, Qin Le. At the beginning, Qin Zhu was a female slave who was sold by Bai Lanshi. He was rescued by Bai Lanshi. Seeing that he had a talent for music theory, he recommended him to Qin Le, who had not entered the palace at that time, and was accepted as a disciple. Later, when Qin Le entered the palace, Qin Zhu stood up With the identity of Qin Le's righteous daughter, she also entered the palace.

Rong Le saw Qin Zhuxin outside the door and smiled happily, "Sister Qin, you are here!"

Qin Zhu got up and nodded slightly, "Sister Rong."

Rong Le stepped forward and took Qin Zhu's hand, pouted and said to Bai Lanshi: "My lord, I haven't seen Sister Qin for a long time, I'm thinking hard, can I let you chat with Sister Qin about the boudoir of my daughter's house."

Bai Lanshi glanced at Wei Wei, "It's useless to ask your son, your elder sister Qin is now General Wei's servant."

Qin Zhu glanced at Wei Wei, and Wei Wei gave her a look back, signaling her to feel at ease, "Mrs. Don't talk too much, I'm a rough person, and I have a lively younger sister like Rong Le to chat with Qin Niang. A lot of peace of mind." Rong Le bounced happily and pulled Qin Zhu out.

The hall was quiet for a while, when Bai Lanshi put down his water glass, he heard Wei Wei say: "My lord, do you need Wei Wei's help?"

"Why did General Wei say that?" Bai Lanshi raised his eyebrows.

Wei Wei hesitated for a while, "Ms. Qin was rescued by her husband when she was down and down. She owed her a favor and she will never forget it. I hope to repay this kindness for Mother Qin."

"The general's affection is so deep that Bai admires it." Bai Lanshi lowered his eyes, "Since the general opened his mouth, Bai will not just beat around the bush. I want the general to go to the frontier with Qi Huan."

"Going to war?" Wei Wei frowned, "I have never heard His Majesty talk about going to war."

"Sooner or later, King Rui will take the initiative to invite Ying, so I will trouble General Wei to take care of him along the way." Bai Lanshi raised his eyes to look at Wei Wei, his eyes did not look like a counselor's cunning, but were full of sincerity.

"Although King Rui is a prince, he has never made any military achievements. Could it be that you have found a clear master with this move?" Wei Wei.

Bai Lanshi, "Bai has been in contact with King Rui not long ago, so I hope General Wei will pay more attention to him if he is the Ming Lord."

After reaching an agreement, Wei Wei and Qin Zhu stayed for dinner before leaving.

After returning to the room, Bai Lanshi lifted the quilt, opened the small hidden compartment, and took out the letter that Qin Zhu had entrusted Lu Yan to hand over. After reading it, he didn't say anything for a long time.

The days passed day by day, Bai Lanshi practiced Wu Qinxi with Shi Langqi every day, and his body was indeed much better than before.

Today Shuyan was practicing big characters on the small table, "Master, I feel that something is not right with Lu Yan recently." He wrinkled his small face bitterly.

"What's wrong with Lu Yan?" Bai Lanshi put a small plate of pastries beside Shuyan, "Take a break, the pastries just made in the kitchen."

Shuyan responded, knelt and knelt in front of Bailan Stone holding a pastry, "Lu Yan is always depressed recently, and I won't go out to play if I ask him." He took a sip of milk tea and swallowed the pastry in his mouth. Seeing that Lu Yan is packing his luggage, is the master going to let Lu Yan leave?"

Bai Lanshi thought for a while, then patted Shuyan on the head and said: "Master will not let Lu Yan go, who will play with Shuyan when he leaves!"

Shuyan hugged Bai Lanshi's waist with a smile in his mouth, "Master is the best."
