The county master Yibin Wang Ji, a native of Chu, lost his parents and lived in Jianye. He entered the gate of Jiang Zhe and was listed as the head of the Eight Horses. Later, he was ordered by Zhe to explore the military situation in the barbarians. In Daizhou, I am in love with the East China Sea, but each of them is the master, and the phoenix is floating. Later, when the county master fought bloody battle at Yanmen, Ji heard about it, sobbed to Yu Zhe, begging to go to Daizhou to die together, Zhe had no choice but to agree to it, Ji Nai abandoned the road of Qingyun, and went to Yanmen to help the county master guard the gate. The Yanmen will be broken, Yuan Ting feels infatuated, and he is promised by the county master before the battle. After the lord of the county descended to Yong, Ji was ordered to assist in guarding Yanmen, and was the deputy of the lord of the county.

At the beginning, the lord did not come out, or there were people who persuaded Ji to take a concubine to inherit the lineage, but Ji refused, saying, I have no relatives, so I don’t have to worry about the death of the ancestors. When the Lord heard this, he couldn't bear the fact that the Wang family had no queen, so he personally chose a good daughter, and Ji came out in anger.

Baqiao Liu Ruyan, pedestrians want to break their hearts, the officials who saw them off have long since left, but inside the long pavilion, Lin Bi still holds her sister's hand and whispered to ask, I don't know when I can see you again, Lin Bi knows that she will be forever There will also be no chance to return to the homeland, and no chance to see the spring scenery of Yanmen again, so I am even more concerned about the younger sister who inherits her own mantle. Outside the long pavilion, Chi Jizheng and King Qi whispered, and they tacitly left room for the Lin sisters to say goodbye. And Li Lin and several other brothers stood aside with solemn hands, and there was no room for them to speak on this occasion. Lu Yun stood behind Li Lin and carefully looked at those long-known figures. He had already met Lin Tong and Chi Ji, and King Qi's boldness and heartyness and Lin Bi's grace and majesty made him feel a sense of admiration. He naturally didn't know that King Qi seven years ago was a sharp sword with a cold light and a murderous aura that could not be restrained. Even more unpredictable.

In the pavilion, Lin Bi said in a low voice, "Tong'er, you have to be careful, you have gone deep into the savage land many times over the past few years, and it is too dangerous. The younger generation has led more troops. I heard that you often quarrel with your brother-in-law, which is not good. Although he is your lieutenant, he is also your husband and Jianghou's confidant. Don't have a quarrel with him, and , You and your brother-in-law have been married for many years and have no children yet. Even the queen asked about this matter, what are your husband and wife going to do? If you listen to me, you should take a concubine for him."

Lin Tong glanced at Chi Ji and said in a low voice, "Sister, Ji Lang and I quarrel is just a habit, if you don't quarrel for a few days, you will feel uncomfortable. He likes to make me angry. When I came to Beijing this time, Ji Lang asked Hou Ye to check the pulse for us. Hou Ye said that we have no problem, we have no children or God’s will. In fact, I also asked Ji Lang what he meant, but Ji Lang Said that he has no relatives, and he is not worried about being unfilial, but I am willing to make him take a concubine a little bit, and even make arrangements for him.

Lin Bi couldn't help laughing when she heard it, and she forgot Chi Ji in the corner of her eye, and said, "My brother-in-law is also a very affectionate person, no wonder he was willing to accompany you to death, that's all, I don't care about your affairs, as long as your husband and wife are in harmony. , I'm relieved."

Lin Tong said worriedly: "Sister, I came to Chang'an this time, and when I saw that Lord Jiang always seemed to be trembling in front of you, it's not that you embarrassed him, isn't it not good, Lord Jiang is the kindness of Ji Lang. Lord, this person is very scary, you can see that Ji Lang has only been by his side for a few years, and it is so difficult to deal with, do you still resent him for planning to harm brother-in-law in the past, no, General Long."

Lin Bi smiled lightly, her eyes were calm and peaceful, she whispered: "The two countries are fighting, where is there so much hatred, Li Xian personally forced Tingfei to death, I don't hold any grudges anymore, let alone Jiang Hou. If you say he is afraid of me , this is your misunderstanding. He is not afraid of Fengyi Sect Master and Demon Sect Sect Master. I am a defeated general, what is there to be afraid of. This is his temperament. The closer he is, the more he likes to deceive him. You see, he always bullies Rou Lan and Lin'er. Do you think Jiang Hou really hates them? In front of me, since he didn't dare to bully me, he was naturally afraid of me. This man has such a weird temperament. , the more people he values, the more he doesn't know how to get along. I'm afraid that only Princess Changle and Li Shun, the evil shadow, can see his truest side in this world."

Lin Tong's eyes lit up when he heard it, remembering Wang Ji's story of always suffering in front of Jiang Zhe, he couldn't help laughing softly, her sister was really discerning, and she could see through the man with unpredictable secrets at a glance. But he is a shy person who is not good at expressing his true feelings.

While their sisters were holding hands and whispering, the smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the horses’ hooves were like thunder, but more than a dozen steeds came from the dust, and everyone looked up. Huo Cong and Rou Lan brought their guards to see them off.

Lin Tong smiled, she also liked Rou Lan very much, just now she was still complaining that this girl was ruthless and unrighteous, and she didn't come to see him off. With a smile, she walked out of the pavilion and waved, "Lan Lan, why do you remember to come and see me off? "

Rou Lan reined in her horse, got off her horse and ran over, grabbing Lin Tong's neck and saying, "Aunt Tong, you are so unconscionable, I was called by the Empress Dowager to accompany her, if I hadn't remembered you, I would have left today. , please let me come out of the palace to see you off, and now I am still watching a play in Changle Palace."

Lin Tong stretched out two fingers to pinch the soft blue and snow-white cheeks, and said with a smile: "You will find a reason, when I don't know, your princess has been with the queen mother in the palace these days, why haven't I seen you? Dad, this time Ji Lang is going to bid your dad farewell, but he didn't even see him, why can't he see him after the emperor's birthday banquet?"

Rou Lan freed Lin Tong's fingers, and said softly, "I don't know about this, Daddy is not at home, it's too late for me to be happy, Brother Huo, you must know, Daddy treats you better than Shener and me. better."

Lin Tong glanced at Huo Cong. Although this young man was ordinary, for some reason, Lin Tong felt that he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him. Perhaps it was his peaceful and serene temperament that made people not want to be rude. She asked with a smile: "Young Master Huo, do you know where Mr. is? Ji Lang originally wanted to say goodbye in person, but now I don't know when I will be able to come back to Chang'an."

Huo Cong said politely: "Reporting to the county master, Mr. returned from a banquet in the palace the day before yesterday, and went to Nanshan Bieye. He seemed to have something to deal with. He said that I would send him off to the county master and brother Chiji."

Lin Tong sighed in disappointment, stopped asking questions, and was hidden among the guards. Lu Yun, who could not help but look at Rou Lan, was moved in his heart, Nanshan Bieye, Jiang Zhe went to Nanshan Bieye, that is not there. In the imperial city, I don’t know if there will be fewer guards around. Maybe I will have the opportunity to assassinate myself, but I don’t know where the other business is, and I don’t know if I can get away to find it. Besides, there must be guards around him. There is also the evil shadow Li Shun on the side, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed.

At this moment, Chi Ji walked up to Huo Cong and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, I have something to tell Master, I saw that the new guard taken in by the King of Jiajun looked a bit like a person, although I thought it was unlikely, I still wanted to. Please let me know."

Huo Cong's expression remained unchanged, he smiled and listened attentively, as if Chi Ji and him were just talking about some trivial matters in the family's life, but he said: "Sir already knows about this matter, senior brother doesn't have to worry about it, the master said, before senior brother leaves, You can tell the princess about General Duan, presumably the princess also wants to meet General Duan again."

Chi Ji's heart moved when he heard the words. He didn't find it strange that Jiang Zhe already knew about the Nanchu boy. The boy's appearance was four or five points similar to Lu Can. He was proficient in archery and had infinite arms. Suspicion also arises, Jiang Zhe must be suspicious if he sees it. But when he told Lin Bi about Duan Wudi, he was worried that the husband was going to set him up again. If it was someone else, he might just help blindfold that person, but Lin Bi was Lin Tong's sister, so he was a little worried about the consequences.

Seeing this, Huo Cong said with a low smile, "Brother, don't worry, Mr. is also kind. I hope the princess can convince General Duan to serve in the court."

Chi Ji's heart widened and said: "I know, junior brother, this time I came here, and I saw that Mr. had a lot of eyes on you, but I was envious and envious. You have this fortune to stay with Mr., and you must replace us. The disciples serve with all their heart."

Huo Cong nodded yes, but there was a hint of melancholy in his heart. The teacher's kindness was like a mountain. The master treated him so well, but he had to hide his thoughts and deceive him. If that incident leaked out one day, what would he do? , unless it is blood splashing in the cold garden, there is no joy in life.

No matter how reluctant they were, Lin Tong and Chi Ji finally embarked on the journey, looking at the distant back, Li Xian walked up to his beloved wife who was in tears and said, "Bi'er, go back, it will take two years at most. , and then let them go to Beijing to report on their jobs."

Lin Bi said sadly: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, it's a matter of time for the separation of the sisters, I'm just a little sad and can't go back and have a look."

Li Xian is silent, he can't help with this matter, and some things are helpless, just like he gave up military power in exchange for joining with Lin Bi. Lin Bi wanted Liu's and Lin's Antai, but he could only give up returning to Daizhou. expect. Seeing him like this, Lin Bi smiled instead: "Actually, it's nothing, Chang'an is also very good. Besides, with you and your child here, where is it not home, but you married me, and the sacrifice is a bit bigger."

Seeing her relieved, Li Xian smiled and said, "The solitary king doesn't love the country and the beauty. What's wrong with that?" Lin Bi blushed and was about to turn around and leave, but was hugged by Li Xian and refused to let go. Yitian has no remorse for his decision to give up the man who made his heart flutter without stubborn hatred. Thinking of the news that Chiji just told him secretly, maybe he should go to see Duan Wudi, the past, so he shouldn't have to worry about it, even if he was caught in Jiang Zhe's trap, he can make a loyal and righteous person who believes in Li Min's society. It's worth it not to fall into the rivers and lakes.

Li Xian and Lin Bi have a lot of affection here, but they are very embarrassed by the sons of King Qi. They didn't pay attention to them, and they only feared Li Xian until after Lin Bi joined Prince Qi's mansion, he re-established the family rules and took good care of these concubines. These teenagers naturally respected Lin Bi very much, of course. I didn't dare to see Li Xian taking her lightly. Li Lin was bold, turned his face away and coughed a few times. Lin Bi was startled and quickly pushed Li Xian away.

Li Xian had to let go, looked at his sons, and said, "You all go back on your own." Then he glared at Li Lin and took Lin Bi into the car and left.

Li Lin grimaced, but he had good intentions, but he offended his father. Probably after he went back, his father would find a reason to drag him to the school grounds. Thinking that he might be in pain tonight and could not sleep well, Li Lin's mood will of course not improve. , his brothers gave him a self-seeking look, and they all got on their horses and left.

At this time, Huo Cong smiled and said, "Your Highness, the husband and the princess are not in the mansion these few days, why don't you come and stay for a few days?"

Li Lin was overjoyed when he heard it, and said quickly, "Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Huo."

Lu Yun's eyes flashed with joy. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter Jiang Zhe's mansion so soon. Although Jiang Zhe is not here now, it's always a gain, isn't it

He didn't realize that, when he invited Li Lin, Huo Cong's eyes stayed on him for a moment, and he naturally didn't know that the document to investigate his life experience was forged by Huo Cong and sent to Li through Si Wencao. In Lin's hands, otherwise there would be such a coincidence in the world, there really is a Yun Erlang.

The next morning, when Lu Yun opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. He couldn't help but feel very surprised. Yesterday, he followed Li Lin to Jiang Zhe's house. Li Lin lived in Qifengxuan. As Li Lin's bodyguard, he naturally He had to live there. Jiang Zhe's mansion was said to be the Qiang Palace of King Yong. In Lu Yun's view, although it was rich and serene, it was much smaller than King Qi's mansion, and there were not so many pavilions and pavilions. Being in the enemy's territory, he thought it would be difficult for him to sleep last night, but he had no dreams all night, which really puzzled him.

Walking out of the room, he saw Li Lin practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard at a glance, with several guards accompanying him. Lu Yun blushed and stood aside. It's too much, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Lin smiled and said: "This is the first time you have come here, and you may not be used to it. This king will sometimes stay here for a while, and you will get used to it later. Well, come with me to the Hanyuan, Brother Huo, let us Go have breakfast with him."

Lu Yun's brows twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "I heard in Nanchu that Hanyuan is where the Marquis of Chu strategized, but I didn't expect it to be given to Young Master Huo to live in."

Li Lin suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "You are wrong, Hanyuan is still the residence of my uncle, although now my uncle lives in the inner house, but there are always more than ten days a month, and my uncle still lives in Hanyuan. , and there is also the uncle's study, I don't know how many strategies were drawn up there, even if the royal uncle wanted to ask the uncle for advice, it was also in the cold garden."

Lu Yun was a little puzzled. It was obvious that Huo Cong lived in Hanyuan, but now he already knew that the youth in green clothes was Jiang Zhe's disciple, that is, one of the young masters, how could he not have his own independent residence. With a lot of doubts, Lu Yun followed Li Lin to the cold garden. He paid careful attention along the way. The guards in Jiang Zhe's mansion were all very leisurely, and the defense was far better than that of Qi's mansion. It was really very difficult to assassinate.

Walking to the gate of Hanyuan, Li Lin asked the other guards to go down to rest, and pulled Lu Yun to say: "You are different from them, this king treats you as a friend, come in with me."

Lu Yun's heart warmed, he naturally knew that Li Lin treated himself differently and meant more friends than subordinates, but as soon as he was about to enter the place where Jiang Zhe often lingered, he was very nervous, so he couldn't care about savoring Li Lin Lin's mind changed.

As soon as he walked into the cold garden, Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. The quietness and desolation inside reminded him of where his father's study was located. There is a stark contrast between the tight security and the depression inside. But what made Lu Yun even more strange was that under the rising sun, Huo Cong was dressed in commoner clothes and was pruning flowers and trees there.

Li Lin stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Huo, you haven't finished the work yet. Isn't the breakfast not ready yet? This is Yunlu, Brother Huo, remember, I brought him this time, and let Rou Lan also See him and know I didn't bully him."

Hearing this, Huo Cong raised his head, showed a faint smile, put down the flower cutting in his hand, patted off the soil on it, and said, "I heard from the prince, you are already working by his side, although it is most likely because of the prince, you Don't blame him, he's also well-intentioned."

Lu Yun hurriedly said: "It's not that the prince is forcing each other. Xiaoke lives in Chang'an and finds no relatives. It's not the end of the game. Staying by the prince's side can still have a place to stay."

Li Lin frowned and said, "Yun Lu, it turns out that you have this idea. No wonder you stayed so easily that day. Has this king ever been suspicious?"

Lu Yun's heart widened because he thought that Li Lin might doubt his stay. After all, on the post road that day, he behaved very arrogantly. It would be a bit of a joke to give in so easily, so today he took the opportunity to make up for it, and it disappeared. Li Lin's suspicion.

A smile flashed in Huo Cong's eyes, and said: "So that's it, okay, Rou Lan will come over in a while, you guys go to the flower hall and wait, I'll change clothes." After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, Li Lin pulled Lu Yun walked to the flower hall and muttered: "Hanyuan is not good at this. It is not allowed to leave servants to serve. Fortunately, you don't have to fetch breakfast yourself."

Lu Yun was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Does Mr. Huo like to take care of flowers and trees? Why does he live here? Isn't this a place for military aircraft?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Do you know the identity of Brother Huo?"

Lu Yundao: "I heard that Mr. Huo is the direct disciple of Lord Hou."

Li Lin raised his index finger and said, "There's something you don't know. Brother Huo is still a servant in Hanyuan, responsible for taking care of the flowers and trees here."

Lu Yun was stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "But, isn't Mr. Huo a disciple of Lord Hou? Why is Lord Hou still making him a servant? This is a bit outrageous."

Li Lin smiled and said, "My uncle has such a weird temperament, that's why Brother Huo lives in Hanyuan, but he's not the owner of Hanyuan."

Lu Yun was still puzzled, when a peaceful voice came from his ear: "This is Mr. well-intentioned, Mr. often said that everyone should have their own place, the Jiang family does not leave useless people, Cong If he wants to stay in the mansion, he has to exchange his labor for food and lodging, so even though Cong worships his husband, he still has to work as a servant to make a living. However, being a disciple of his husband is always beneficial. The heavy lifting, the time-consuming work is done by others, and I just need to take care of the flowers and trees.”

Lu Yun looked back and saw that Huo Cong had changed into a clean blue shirt and was standing at the door. The early morning sunlight reflected behind him, making Lu Yun feel that his face was a little blurry, but he could still see Huo Cong calm. A serene look.

He heard Huo Cong continue: "Some people take it lightly to disregard power and wealth, and some people have low status, but they are proud of the princes and nobles, but the husband disagrees. He often says that wealth and power are not only rights and enjoyments, but also a kind of An inescapable responsibility, since you hold great power, you should perform your duties faithfully and live up to the love of the heavens.

Lu Yun only felt that his heart was shaken, what kind of person could say such a thing, how could such a person betray the country and seek glory and live up to his father. There was silence in the flower hall, and even Li Lin was thinking deeply about what Huo Cong said.

At this moment, a girl's crisp and sweet voice came from outside the door: "Brother Huo, Brother Lin, I'm here, Brother Lin, I heard that you brought Yun Lu here, right? Yun Lu, Brother Lin did not force you." As he spoke, Lu Yun only felt his eyes light up. A girl in a light yellow shirt was standing at the door. Her complexion was smooth and her face was beautiful, especially those black and clear eyes, which were always rolling around, letting him go. The more and more people feel that this girl is naughty and charming. She didn't use excessive makeup, she just tied her hair with a golden ring, which was surrounded by flowers and branches, and the connection was made into a budding plum. Although she was young, she already looked like a fairy. .

Lu Yun's heart trembled. When he first saw Zhaohua County Master's appearance in women's clothes, he felt flustered in his heart, but faintly regretted and sad, and his mood was extremely low for a while.

Huo Cong and Li Lin often saw Rou Lan's pretty appearance, and they were used to it. Li Lin complained, "Why don't you always believe me? I'm a wicked person who forces others, but Yun Lu voluntarily stayed by my side."

The soft blue eyes were looking forward, and she said, "Yun Lu, is that so?"

Lu Yun was also awake at this time, bowed and said: "The subordinates are highly regarded by the prince, and they are indeed willing to stay by the prince's side."

Rou Lan smiled sweetly and said, "That's good, Brother Huo, it's rare that Daddy isn't here today. Let's play together after breakfast, okay?"

Li Lin said happily: "Okay, the prince will not call me today, we just went out for a spring tour."

Huo Cong smiled and said, "You Chun can go anytime, but it's better to have fun in the mansion if your husband isn't there."

Li Lin and Rou Lan nodded after hearing this, Rou Lan said, "Brother Huo is still smart, let's go to Linboting, although there is no snow now, Linboting is also very good for viewing flowers, and it is inconvenient to go to the cloud road in the house. of."

Huo Cong nodded and said: "Linboting is very good, you may not know that at the beginning, the gentleman was in Linboting to enjoy the snow and composed poems, which overwhelmed all the staff of the Yongwangfu. I will be there in a while, and I will write what the gentlemen and the others wrote that day. The poems are copied down for you to read."

Although Rou Lan and Li Lin are young and playful, they are not ignorant of poetry and poetry, not to mention Jiang Zhe's old story. Since Huo Cong wants to tell them poetry, he will definitely tell the events of the day. Zhe never told them about it, but he didn't hide it from Huo Cong. When they had the opportunity to learn about Jiang Zhe's past, both of them nodded, and even Lu Yun yearned for it. At this moment, his hatred for Jiang Zhe was unconscious. It has subsided a lot, and I want to know more about his deeds. After all, in Nanchu, people rarely mention Jiang Zhe's rumors other than cursing.

The four of them hurriedly ate breakfast and came to Linbo Pavilion together. Huo Cong really recorded the poems to explain to the three teenagers, and then told the three of them about the past. When the conversation was in full swing, a guard suddenly came The report said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince urgently summons you to the palace."

Rou Lan and Li Lin were both disappointed, Li Lin said helplessly: "I can only give up halfway after seeing today, Yun Lu can't enter the palace with me, Brother Huo, let him follow you first, and wait for me to come back to you at night. Let's talk about it later."

Huo Cong smiled and said, "Go ahead, the prince might have something urgent. I'll talk about it after you come back. Anyway, the gentleman will come back the day after tomorrow."

After seeing Li Lin away, Rou Lan sat listlessly by the pavilion, staring at the lake in a daze, while Huo Cong took Qiping and started playing chess by himself. The atmosphere in the pavilion was a bit dull, Lu Yun wanted to leave, but Some reluctance. Seeing Lu Yun's bored expression, Huo Cong said with a smile, "Your Highness is just like your own home here, so don't be restrained. In fact, you are still young, so you should read more books. Have you read the military book?"

Lu Yun thought to himself, if I said that I had read it, it would be a bit inconsistent with my identity, so he said, "I haven't read it."

Huo Cong said: "Since you are following the county king, you will inevitably fight on the battlefield in the future. If you want to be a general, you must read the art of war. Well, I will go back and get a book for you to read." Only Rou Lan and Lu Yun were left in the middle. The nearby maids and guards had already been sent away by Huo Cong, and the pavilion was silent.

Looking at Rou Lan's back, Lu Yun suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart. This is a good opportunity. He has the opportunity to take the life of Jiang Zhe's beloved daughter. Jiang Zhe has made his father extremely painful. If he kills Rou Lan, he will definitely let Jiang Zhe Rather than waiting for an assassination opportunity that may never appear, the girl in front of her is a better choice.

Looking up and seeing no one around, Lu Yun finally couldn't hold back the murderous intention in his heart. The hatred in his heart and the grievances he couldn't control for many days drove away the hazy love in his heart. If there is no restriction, even the kindest person will also Evil thoughts arise.

Standing behind Rou Lan, he gently pulled out the dagger hidden in his boots, and was about to stab Rou Lan's vest. With just one sword, he could take the girl's life, and then he could wait until Huo Cong came back and attack and assassinate him. With him, Huo Cong doesn't seem to be skilled in martial arts, and Rou Lan isn't very clever. He should be able to do it himself, and then he can leave here as the guard of the King of Jiajun, as long as he arranges it properly, until he leaves the imperial city, he won't. A body was found.

But when he stood behind Rou Lan, the girl's petite back made his heart soften. This sword could no longer be stabbed. His enemy was Jiang Zhe, what did he have to do with this girl? Huo Cong was very kind to himself. How to repay kindness and revenge, just when Lu Yun hesitated in his heart, Rou Lan lost his balance for some reason, screamed and fell into the water, Lu Yun was slightly taken aback, only to see Rou Lan had fallen into the pool, shouting Reaching out for help and waving it wildly. Her voice spread far away, and Lu Yun could see a figure flashing in the distance. It must be the guards who heard Rou Lan's cry for help and were rushing here.

Looking at the girl who was struggling in the water and calling for help, he trembled in his heart and jumped into the water with his clothes, but he climbed up with Rou Lan in his arms in a moment. At this time, the guards had arrived one after another, and Lu Yun skillfully helped Rou Lan to spit out the water in his belly. , Rou Lan woke up and cried while holding Huo Cong who had just arrived. Huo Cong thanked Lu Yun and hurriedly carried Rou Lan to the inner house. Looking at Rou Lan's pale complexion and messy clothes, Lu Yun didn't know what it was like in his heart. He rescued Rou Lan, not to hide people's eyes and ears. When he jumped into the water, he had no regrets at all, and his eyes fell on the ground. Lu Yun's heart became more and more flustered by the golden ring of hair that was left behind.

Of course he would not have imagined that Huo Cong carried Rou Lan into the back house and sent her back to the bedroom. Just as he was about to have the maid come to serve her, Rou Lan pulled his sleeve and said coldly, "Brother Huo, what are you doing? What the hell, what happened to this Yunlu, why did he want to assassinate me."

Huo Cong said calmly, "Does he want to kill you?"

Rou Lan said angrily: "I can see it clearly from the reflection in the water. He wants to assassinate me with a dagger from behind. I know that he is not his opponent, so I pretended to fall into the water, so that he would not be able to attack, but I could call for help. You But don't say you don't know, how could Brother Jun go back on his word and send someone to summon Brother Lin into the palace. I don't believe that there will be any major incident involving Brother Lin at this time. Why did you leave him and me alone in Linboting, not even a guard, that's not your style. The most important point is who asked the maid to inform me that I was wearing a golden robe today, what do you have? Don't hide it from me, is Yun Lu a spy of Southern Chu? If I hadn't worried that his assassination would not reveal his flaws, it might have ruined your plan. Why should I pretend to fall into the water? golden robe."

Huo Cong smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to ask about this, this is what Mr. means, in fact, I don't think Yun Lu can't be ruthless. Besides, there are guards in secret to protect you, and he will never let him succeed. Don't say anything."

Rou Lan was stunned. At this moment, Brother Huo's expression was very similar to the expression on his face when his father teased her on weekdays. She shuddered and decided to sincerely sympathize with the young man who just wanted to kill her.
