forty nine
There are four seasons in the sky, the scenery is different, the spring water is flowing, the autumn moon is shining, and the Jinguan City is always low in temperature, the most common ones are the Xiling Suxue and the green pines, and the people of Nawan are proud of , Guiyue Lake that never freezes.
"Deng Tianguan invited you to visit the lake and admire the moon?"
Ye Huaiyang seemed a little surprised, and the book he was holding was slowly put back on his lap. Chu Jinglan sat at the table and looked at the investigation report presented by the shadow guard. He asked, "It's only us and the Deng family, do you want to go?"
"Okay." She answered happily, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Pei Yuanshu has been gone for two days, and I don't know if Deng Tianguan has noticed it. The bad thing is that she has to get on the boat. I wonder if she can overcome that damn heart disease...
Well, let's see how it plays out.
In the blink of an eye, it's night.
The snow that had been falling on and off for a few days finally stopped, and a round of jade toads hung high in the sky, full and bright, which made people very happy. The influx of cold air was defeated, and he turned around and indented into Chu Jinglan's arms, as if it was freezing.
"Is it colder in the North than here?"
Chu Jinglan nodded.
"Then remember to bring me next time you go." Ye Huaiyang put his hand into his cloak with a smile, wrapped his arms around his waist and said softly, "I will be your sweet little padded jacket in the future, and I will not be afraid of the cold. "
Chu Jinglan glanced at her and said teasingly, "The little padded jacket hiding in my big cloak?"
"I hate it, but I can't describe it in words." Ye Huaiyang pinched his waist secretly, but he couldn't help giggling.
The carriage has quietly come to the shore of Guiyue Lake, and I saw dozens of sheepskin ice lanterns hanging on the trestle, with dim light and swaying in the wind. At the end of the water, there is a huge swimming boat, which can be seen from a distance. The bronze-colored side of the ship and the glazed lanterns on the top reflect the surrounding light, and the eyes are full of brilliance.
Chu Jinglan took Ye Huaiyang to walk across the trestle bridge, looking far into the distance, there were still many boats on the lake that had already left the shore. side customs.
When Deng Tianguan received the report from his servants, he immediately took his wife out of the cabin to greet them. The moment he saw Ye Huaiyang, a spark of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There is a beautiful person, who is clean and graceful.
He didn't know that there was a beautiful concubine by Chu Jinglan's side, but he didn't expect to be so charming, with pink neck and slender waist, peach cheeks and red lips, and the phoenix eyes that could not be ignored, the waves were flowing. I don't know how intriguing, he was sucked out of his mind in an instant!
Deng Linshi, who was next to him, coughed slightly with a stiff expression.
Deng Tianguan reacted instantly, put on his signature smile and bent over to salute: "This minister brings his wife to see the prince."
The princess didn't mention a word, it seemed that she really didn't know Ye Huaiyang's identity.
But this is not surprising. Outsiders have many doubts about Ye Huaiyang's marriage to Chu Jinglan. They can say anything, but most of the guesses are based on one thing - the husband and wife are not in harmony, which is known far and near. So Deng Tianguan never thought that Chu Jinglan would bring Ye Huaiyang out, let alone being so close to her, the woman in front of him should be the concubine he had before he got married.
Little did they know that his misunderstanding was exactly what they wanted. Chu Jinglan felt that it was safer for Ye Huaiyang to hide his identity, but Ye Huaiyang was having fun, so the two made a mistake and acquiesced.
"There are no outsiders here, so King Qiyang doesn't need to be more polite."
"Yes." Deng Tianguan turned to one side and gave way to Youfang, "Your Highness, please."
Chu Jinglan nodded slightly, and immediately took Ye Huaiyang to the boat. Ye Huaiyang's footsteps were obvious when she passed the floating springboard on the way. Chu Jinglan looked back, she was staring at the surging water. He didn't let it go, the cold wind blew, and the delicate body seemed to sway, and he immediately clenched her hand.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Huaiyang suddenly came back to his senses, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled at him: "It's okay."
Chu Jinglan gave her a deep look before continuing to move forward.
Not too long ago, the four of them entered and sat down one after another, and the boat also slid toward the center of the lake, shaking violently in the middle, and Ye Huaiyang felt a sudden discomfort. In order to divert her attention, she began to look at the entire cabin. There is still a lot of space inside. There are four Xuan windows on each side. Mint green Luo curtains are dragged along the window sills. There are several crystal lotus lamps and several jade pots, carrying five needle pine, narcissus and Nantian bamboo, adorned with pebbles and woven into a fine emerald color, looks very pleasing in this harsh winter.
The cups, bowls and dishes on the table are all made of Begonia red porcelain. The color is full but not ostentatious. Just like the other decorations, it does not reveal the wealth of the Deng family. Obviously, it has been adjusted. This Deng Tianguan is really a tight man. No wonder there is not the slightest problem in the salt and iron accounts.
Ye Huaiyang was immersed in his own thoughts, unaware that the banquet had already started, and Deng Tianguan's eyes always drifted past her position as if nothing was happening. she speaks.
"I see that Madam Ru didn't even use her chopsticks, but this dish is not to your taste?"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Jinglan's dark eyes suddenly had waves, as if a pot of ice water was poured down every three or nine days, and the cold was in the bone marrow. , aren't your men drinking? Come on, let's join in the fun, Ru Madam, I'll toast you first."
After saying that, she covered her lips with her sleeves and slowly drank the glass of wine, and then looked at each other with a small smile, but Ye Huaiyang didn't even move her hand, her eyes were slightly hooked, showing a bit of lazy pride.
"Excuse me, madam, I'm currently conditioning my body to prepare for a baby, and I can't drink alcohol."
The coldness in Chu Jinglan's eyes suddenly dissipated, and then there was a flash of extremely light joy, which was too fast for people to catch.
He knew that she was always with people regardless of time and place, but he didn't know that she could come here without a word, and she was very strict, and she was so choked that her face was blue and she couldn't get angry. Make him amazed.
Having said that, the reason why she is so arrogant is that she must have seen that Deng Tianguan has moved her mind.
Everyone present knew in their hearts that Deng Lin's family was even more miserable. On the one hand, she had to endure her husband's open covetousness, and on the other hand, she had to suffer from Ye Huaiyang's "concubine". She almost had a seizure on the spot. Chu Jinglan spoke slowly.
"My wife has always been arrogant and made my wife laugh."
Deng Lin's breath was a little calm, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness, please don't ruin your concubine's body. Having children is a top priority. You should take this as the most important thing. The concubine's body is abrupt. Don't be surprised if you are a madam."
Ye Huaiyang hooked her lips, and her smile was very faint. She didn't seem to care, but in fact she didn't bother to talk to her. She raised her hand, and the soup bowl in front of Chu Jinglan was moved to her, and she tasted it in small sips. With an elegant look and a graceful attitude, he completely regarded the people around him as air.
Deng Lin's eyes were about to pop out.
Presumptuous, simply too presumptuous! This woman is just a lowly concubine, she doesn't make dishes for Chu Jinglan, and she dares to drink soup from his bowl, how much is it arrogance? It's just daring! However, Chu Jinglan didn't react at all. He just defended her like that. Based on this situation, I am afraid that the drama of favoring a concubine and destroying his wife in Prince Lan's mansion has been staged countless times!
Deng Tianguan squinted and observed for a long time, vaguely understanding something, but he was even more curious about Ye Huaiyang, she was like a deep and charming jungle waiting for him to explore and take it for himself, but unfortunately, there was still reason, and she kept going. It reminded him that he couldn't fall out with Chu Jinglan at this time, so he put away his turbulent mind and quietly changed the subject.
"It's a good night's beauty, whether you drink or not, it's the same enjoyment. It's a pity that Mr. Pei is sick and can't come. It's a pity. I don't know how his condition is? Is there any serious problem?"
Ye Huaiyang originally had her long eyelashes hanging down, but her eyes suddenly froze when she heard these words, Sisi stern almost broke out of the shadows, and then she heard Chu Jinglan smile indifferently.
"What's wrong? It's just that I had a conflict with Mr. Hu when I went to check the salt and iron accounts that day. I was afraid that I would be embarrassed at the banquet tonight, so I couldn't be sick. I hope King Qiyang doesn't blame him. What kind of person is Pei Qing? It's all good, just a little thinner."
"So that's the case." Deng Tianguan also smiled, his narrow eyes overflowing with light, "Master Pei don't need to be too concerned, after all, it is the first time for everyone to cooperate, and there will inevitably be frictions. Everything must be done with the purpose of fulfilling the Lord's will first. It's better to let Master Pei go to the yamen tomorrow, and I can be a peacemaker and let him and Master Hu untie the knot."
"Okay, this king will have someone tell him."
Chu Jinglan deserved to be happy, but Ye Huaiyang's heartstrings tightened - Pei Yuanshu clearly hasn't come back yet, could it be possible that he will change someone to go to the yamen tomorrow
She quietly grabbed Chu Jinglan's hand under the table, but he held it back. Before she could feel his temperature, fireworks exploded outside the window, and large petals and bright golden beads spewed out in the air, only to hear Deng Lin Shi exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, these fireworks are so beautiful!"
"I specially asked them to prepare it." Deng Tianguan raised his lips slightly, then turned his head and said to Chu Jinglan, "My lord, the view is blocked here, why don't you go outside and see?"
Chu Jinglan nodded in agreement, and then took Ye Huaiyang onto the deck.
The shadow of the moon slanted horizontally, the silver light burst out, and the sparkling lake water patted the hull of the boat, but the sound was overshadowed by the continuous roar. , the depths of the eyes are constantly dyed by fireworks of various colors, a gorgeous and colorful scene.
The situation was great, but a rash cargo appeared out of nowhere, and the boat didn't know how to drive, so it turned its head and bumped up, the boat stumbled suddenly, Ye Huaiyang lost his balance and fell into the lake. She took it into her arms, clasped the railing with her left hand to stop the fall, and only lowered her eyes to check her condition after the hull of the ship had stabilized, but she turned pale.
"Bumped?" he asked eagerly.
She shook her head reluctantly and whispered two words: "It's okay."
His face was so ugly, his palms were still sweating, how could he look like he was fine? Chu Jinglan pursed her thin lips in displeasure, thinking that her stinky ailments were causing trouble again, but a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, and the fog dissipated.
How could he forget her fear of water
Chu Jinglan didn't say any more at the moment, and directly asked Deng Tianguan to dock and stop the boat, and then led her back to his carriage on the grounds of Ye Huaiyang's discomfort. As soon as the curtain was lowered, she fell to the wall of the carriage, her long eyelashes drooping. , Short of breath, he stretched out his long arms, moved the soft and tender body into his arms, and coldly ordered Ci Yuan to drive back to the house.
On the way, he only asked her one sentence: "Why didn't you say it before?"
She was silent and huddled in his shoulder like a turtle.
After arriving at the residence, before he had time to settle accounts with her, Tang Qingfeng greeted her first, his low voice containing uncontrollable joy: "Master, Master Pei is back."
Fifty
Although Pei Yuanshu is an idiot in private, he will never be confused when he does business. Moreover, he is smart and upright, and he is a very capable minister. Ye Huaiyang knows this very well. But she just didn't understand why Chu Sanghuai sent such a person to monitor Chu Jinglan, and Chu Jinglan really felt relieved to leave the matter of life and death to him. Is there something she didn't know
Thinking of this, the pen in her hand stopped unconsciously, the thin letterhead was tossed by the evening wind, and the ink dried quickly, and she didn't bother to add any more words, so she simply rolled it up and stuffed it into the dark brown in the bamboo tube.
"Crescent moon, tie this to the carrier pigeon and send it away in a while."
Crescent Moon asked while sealing the cover and tied the rope: "Miss, the Empress asked you to monitor the prince, are you really going to report the situation to her honestly?"
Ye Huaiyang raised his brows slightly, showing a hint of helplessness and disgust, "Now that everything is undecided, of course, you must stabilize her first. You don't know how powerful it is if you are not in the game... Don't worry, I will write in my own discretion."
"That's true. You've always been prudent in this kind of thing. It's because the servants are too worried. The servants are going to send the letter. You should rest quickly. Didn't you feel well just now?"
Ye Huaiyang waved her hand to let her go out, but she leaned on the back of the chair and didn't move.
I don't know if the two of them have finished talking
The long night was long, the drums had sounded three times, the surrounding courtyards were silent, and the study was still dimly lit. Pei Yuanshu rushed back with frost and snow, hurriedly drank a sip of hot tea, and began to report the situation to Chu Jinglan.
"Your Highness, everything is as you expected, Chang Xin didn't join King Qiyang because of her ambition, but she was brooding about the injustice that the court treated her, she was shaken when Wei Chen took out the award letter, so she The minister forced her to ask her a little and then she confessed everything."
After Chu Jinglan heard this, he motioned for him to sit down, then put his hand back on the tea cover, and slowly spun round and round, and then slowly said: "This king knows that Pei Qing is a kind and righteous person, let me It's really hard for you to play this play in front of an old friend, but you didn't disappoint this king."
Pei Yuanshu lowered his eyes, and his voice was bitter but firm: "Even though Wei Chen has an old friendship with her, she can't let her go wrong."
There was a hint of appreciation in Chu Jinglan's eyes, and he closed the tea cup and said, "Continue."
"Afterwards, Wei Chen offered her a plan, saying that as long as King Qiyang was eliminated, she could help her cover up her faults and win the praise of the emperor and the court. She felt remorse and immediately adopted Wei Chen's suggestion, and then a large number of them were transported. The iron ore successfully entered Jingzhou in the name of casting weapons, and the King of Qiyang did not fortify her, and now two thousand troops are almost at Jinguan City."
"Very good." Chu Jinglan turned to call Tang Qingfeng, and gave an order like a whirlwind, "Take twenty people to the foundry outside the city at night, and make sure to make a noise and let Deng Tianguan know."
"Subordinates obey!"
Pei Yuanshu couldn't understand it now. He thought that Chu Jinglan simply wanted him to counteract Changxin, and then leveraged his strength to let them fight both sides and then find a way to win, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, he Such deliberate disclosure of the details is clearly intended to lure the enemy to attack him, is it difficult...
A light suddenly flashed in Pei Yuanshu's mind, and he blurted out: "My lord, do you want to get rid of King Qiyang here?"
Chu Jinglan stared at him indifferently. Although he didn't speak, his sharp and sharp eyes had already explained everything.
Indeed it is! He should have thought of it long ago! Chu Jinglan was not prepared to fight Deng Tianguan in a time-consuming and laborious battle. He wanted to take Deng Tianguan's life directly in this Jinguan City!
But this is people's lair! If they are not careful, they will be gnawed to the bone!
Pei Yuanshu felt that he was going crazy. The crackling flames in the stove seemed to splash on his face, causing him to sweat continuously. Fortunately, his thoughts were not chaotic. He raised his sleeves and wiped it in front of his forehead, calmly analyzing Said: "Jingzhou has a total of 30,000 troops, and Jinguan City accounts for 8,000. Although Chang Xin only brought 2,000 troops, they are all elite soldiers, or there is a chance to win."
Chu Jinglan smiled slowly, and the dim yellow firelight reflected on his face was inexplicable.
"unnecessary."
Pei Yuanshu was stunned for a while, but didn't respond for a long time, "Why don't you need it? You're not going to… "
"Those 2,000 people are just a blind eye. Chang Xin's ability is still far behind Deng Tianguan. I'm afraid the entire army will be wiped out within half a day."
After hearing this, Pei Yuanshu's face couldn't help turning pale.
Although he knew for a long time that he was leading Chang Xin to a dead end, he didn't expect that she would be treated as such a worthless pawn, even of little value for use, which was more embarrassing than he imagined.
"Then... how do we deal with Deng Tianguan?"
Chu Jinglan picked a few jade pieces from the chessboard beside them and placed them between the two. The black ones formed a circle, the white ones were isolated, and there was one left to play lightly between his slender fingers, and then he raised his eyes to look at Pei Yuanshu. Dao: "How much do you think Kuroko will dispatch if you want to deal with this game?"
Pei Yuanshu pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Half a pill is enough since there is a siege."
Chu Jinglan hooked his lips into a smile, all the bright flames converged on his face as deep as a secluded lake, he raised his hand slightly, and the remaining white child flew into the crisis, just opening a gap in the besieged city.
"That king's hand is enough to deal with him."
Pei Yuanshu's eyes flashed a few traces of clarity, and he fell into a deeper chaos in an instant.
He knew that there were dozens of shadow guards lurking in Jinguan City, and all of them were worth one hundred. If Deng Tianguan casually brought hundreds of personal soldiers to encircle and suppress them, he would really be counterattacked by the shadow guards. But then again, putting his life on such a weak line of defense would be too much of a joke. He always felt that Chu Jinglan had other trump cards, but they just didn't show it.
But this is another story. For now, the plan is to draw out Deng Tianguan's murderous intentions. If he keeps holding back, they will naturally have no chance to fight back.
Thinking of this, Pei Yuanshu didn't make any more random guesses, and only secretly hoped that Tang Qingfeng's actions at night would go smoothly. After a long silence, he got up and retire, and his black boots stepped gently to the door, but stopped unexpectedly. After getting down, he turned around and looked at Chu Jinglan meaningfully.
"My lord, Wei Chen dared to ask, is the award document from the province... true or false?"
This is a strange question. It was originally a trick to lure the enemy. The document was forged, but he felt that the seal on it was too real. If it was as he thought, then Chu Jinglan would be too terrifying...
Just at this moment, a shadow guard spun in and interrupted the conversation between the two. Seeing that he was in a hurry, Pei Yuanshu seemed to have something important to report, so it was not easy to ask further questions, so he bowed and saluted and went out. . The Shadow Guard closed the door before going inside. When he reached Chu Jinglan, he spread his hands and a small bamboo tube appeared on it.
"My lord, a carrier pigeon flew out from the western courtyard just now. Commander Tang was not there, so his subordinates took it down on their own initiative. This is what was seized. Please take a look."
Chu Jinglan's heart jumped when he heard the word "Western Courtyard", and he grabbed the bamboo tube without thinking. The moment the letter was displayed in his palm, the familiar font made him tremble violently, and there was a faint expression on his quiet face. Chill comes.
The shadow guard asked tentatively: "My lord, do you need to bring someone to check it out?"
"go out."
The very light and light words seemed to be pressed down by the thunder, and the shadow guard was sober, he didn't dare to say any more, he immediately turned around and stepped back. He was burning something, and Chu Jinglan was sitting on the side watching, his profile was extremely cold and hard, as if it was shrouded in dark clouds, and the mountains and rain were about to come.
The wind suddenly blew up outside the house, knocking on the eaves and making tiles, and the night seemed to be endless.
During the ugly time, Tang Qingfeng led a team to raid the foundry, kidnapped several catalogues and craftsmen, and accidentally dropped his waist card when he left, which was picked up and handed to his superiors, and finally handed over to Deng Tianguan. After a few hours, his face was ashen, and he immediately ordered martial law throughout the city, and called his generals and staff to discuss how to deal with Chu Jinglan.
In the severe winter night, the snow was blowing the wind, but the Qiyang Palace was quietly boiling, the lights came on one after another, and people came one after another, but their faces were not very good-looking.
"Master, what are you waiting for? Let me lead the troops to level his residence, and even if I keep half a fly, it won't fly out alive!"
The one who spoke was the man who was dissatisfied at the banquet last time, that is, Liu Xin, the deputy commander of the Jingzhou Army. When the anger came, the staff next to him shook his head.
"General, such flamboyant actions will only alarm the people in the city. When the news spreads, the imperial court will send the army north on the charge of deliberately murdering King Lan. What should we do then?"
Liu Xin stunned and said angrily: "What's the use of you being so timid? At first we wanted to fool him and let him leave quickly, but he didn't know what to do and wanted to come to the door. Now we still have evidence in hand, let's move It is also dead and still dead, it is better to fight happily!"
The staff sighed, stopped arguing with him, turned around and said to Deng Tianguan: "Master, I think we can stabilize King Lan for the time being, wait for an opportunity to lead him to kill him outside the city, and then pretend to be an accident, so that we can avoid it. The people talked about it, and they also explained to the court, as for the emperor... I think he should be happy to see this ending."
Deng Tianguan pondered for a long time with a sullen face, and felt that the plan of his staff was feasible, but in order to make Chu Jinglan not suspicious, he still had to choose a suitable time to invite him to go out. As for the place... I seemed to hear him and the woman on the boat saying that they were going to Wushan. It is better to choose there to watch the waterfall.
When he thought of Ye Huaiyang, a fine light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The woman who was as clear as a blue orchid has been affecting his heart all the time since he left the boat. After Chu Jinglan is resolved, she will be his person.
fifty one
Cangshan verdant cypresses, flying streams and waterfalls, green feathers, and white crystals are intertwined into a spectacular winter scene, which is very exciting.
Ye Huaiyang doesn't know who has heard that there is a rare silver fish in the clear pool under the waterfall. If you catch it, it means good luck and longevity. As the two of them jumped up and down on the moss-covered stones, the fish didn't see it, but the water splashed all over.
There is a hexagonal pavilion on the shore, the bucket arches are very upturned, surrounded by walls on all sides, and there is a gap in the front and back for people to enter and exit. Pulling out the clouds, it looks like a fairy's residence from a distance, ethereal and quiet.
Chu Jinglan and Deng Tianguan sat inside and leaned on the railing to fish.
Speaking of which, several days have passed, and Deng Tianguan can be considered a calm person. Apart from strengthening the guards and inspections of the city gates, he did not do anything else. Until today, he invited Chu Jinglan to come to watch the waterfall, and he only brought with him. With Liu Xin and a few guards, he looks more harmless than Little White Rabbit. If he hadn't already known his purpose, he would have been deceived by him.
Ye Huaiyang was the only one in the group who didn't know the inside story, so they had the most fun. The two people in the pavilion turned their attention to her.
"It's a pity that my wife is not in good health these days. Otherwise, she will be able to come and be with Mrs. Ru. She is so young, and she must be bored to accompany us fishing here, right?"
"King Qiyang doesn't need to worry too much, she always knows how to find fun on her own."
In the past, when Ye Huaiyang was mentioned, Chu Jinglan's voice always had a touch of doting warmth, but today it was inexplicably cold. Deng Tianguan didn't hear it, but Tang Qingfeng heard it, and he couldn't help but frown and look towards the waterfall. Looking at it, he almost jumped up in shock.
"lady-"
The two people in the pavilion turned their heads as he shouted, and saw that the white clothes beat the snow, fluttering about to fall, and they were about to fall into the water. Ci Yuan's figure crossed the water like a meteor and intercepted her by the waist, and then Ling Ling. Po lightly jumped back to the shore and put her down safely.
Chu Jinglan's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he withdrew his gaze indifferently, his wrist was as calm as before, not even the fish float moved a bit, but the one next to him swayed violently. His face was covered with a thin layer of frost, spreading an endless chill.
Deng Tianguan turned around after realizing it, and was shocked when he saw the expressionless icy face, as if there was an invisible pressure on the mask, even breathing was a little difficult, and he didn't know how to cover up his behavior just now. In the continual silence, his heart was already hanging in his throat.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement under the water.
"My lord, your fish has been hooked."
Pei Yuanshu's voice was like a clear stream, and it broke the frozen situation in an instant. After Deng Tianguan reacted, he couldn't help but scolded himself for being unpromising. How could Chu Jinglan, a dying man, be calmed down? He slowed down and adjusted his mood before saying, "Your Highness is really amazing, I haven't moved for a long time."
Chu Jinglan raised his hand and swung the rod, and a big fish suddenly jumped out of the water, with silver scales shining, splashing water everywhere, and fell into the wooden barrel in an instant. Tang Qingfeng stepped forward and took off the hook. He almost let go several times, he fixed his eyes for a moment, suddenly suspicious: "This seems to be the silver fish that Madam wants to catch..."
As soon as the voice fell, a gentle voiceless voice came from behind: "Who caught silverfish?"
Tang Qingfeng bent over and saluted, and immediately stepped aside. Ye Huaiyang looked along the fishing line and found that it was attached to Chu Jinglan's pole, and immediately jumped up and hugged his neck with a smile.
"I said why I couldn't catch it. It turns out that this fish, like me, likes to drill into the prince's place."
Chu Jinglan looked down at her, her expression changed slightly, but like the midnight when the ice melted and the snow melted, even if the coldness subsided, there was still boundless darkness at the end, and no light could be found. Ye Huaiyang didn't feel anything unusual about him. After saying this, he squatted down and put the fish down. The fish fluttered twice, shook off a few strings of lines, and then plunged into the water and disappeared.
Deng Tianguan asked inexplicably: "If Madam is this..."
"Since it has already been blessed, there is no need to hurt its life again."
Ye Huaiyang's voice was light, mixed with an obvious sense of alienation, but Deng Tianguan didn't seem to hear it, and still smiled and praised: "If Mrs. is kind-hearted, it makes Deng ashamed, but unfortunately I haven't caught a fish so far, otherwise I would have Being able to learn is like a madam releasing life by the stream and accumulating merit."
"King Qiyang doesn't care about this, so naturally there's not much to gain."
As soon as Chu Jinglan said these words, the expressions of several people present changed slightly, and Deng Tianguan instantly became defensive, stared at him and asked, "What do you mean by this, my lord?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Jinglan's mouth curled into a thin smile, full of sarcasm, cold and intimidating, "Didn't you come to catch this big fish? What are you hiding? Let them all come out. stop."
Deng Tianguan's complexion changed suddenly, he couldn't believe that Chu Jinglan had noticed his intention, but he couldn't think about it anymore. He suddenly threw off his sleeves and plundered countless cups. The moment the sound of shattering sounded, hundreds of soldiers Like bamboo shoots after the rain, they emerged from the forest, all of them wearing armor and holding knives, and they came threateningly.
Ye Huaiyang was caught off guard by this change, but she quickly calmed down. After carefully observing the surrounding situation, she suddenly lowered her face and shouted, "Deng Tianguan, you are so bold!"
"You're not too brave." Deng Tianguan smiled gloomily, and then shouted loudly, "It's all to this king, and the one who captures the king of Lan will reward you with 100,000 silver!"
The soldiers responded with a wave of their knives and rushed towards the hexagonal pavilion like a tide, gradually forming a siege. However, the people in the pavilion reacted faster. Tang Qingfeng flashed in front of Deng Tianguan in the blink of an eye. A strong murderous aura attacked his chest, and who knew that a sword suddenly stabbed horizontally from the side, blocking his offensive, Deng Tianguan took the opportunity to turn over and jumped out of his attack range.
Tang Qingfeng turned his head to look, and it turned out that the deputy commander-in-chief Liu Xin was standing in the way. He didn't expect that this man was not smart, but his martial arts were very good. A big sword was very flexible and he couldn't get out. Neng could helplessly watch Deng Tianguan escape to a safe area, and was guarded by his soldiers in the center, so there was no chance of killing him.
"Ciyuan, go and help him."
Ye Huaiyang gave an order, and Ci Yuan immediately flew into the battle. A sharp sword energy condensed between the blade lights and attacked Liu Xin's key point. Liu Xin hurriedly returned to the sword to block, but Tang Qingfeng attacked from the side again. Come on, the momentum was extremely violent, he was startled, he took several steps along the wall to escape from the gap behind him, and suddenly his chest felt cold.
The sword was drawn, the blood surged, and he fell to the ground. The whole process only took three seconds.
At the same time, the densely packed soldiers had come to the front of the pavilion. Tang Qingfeng quickly opened a passage in the back, and then said solemnly, "Master, it's time to go."
A group of people filed out and left the hexagonal pavilion at the fastest speed. Just as they were about to step on the stone and cross the water pool, the soldiers behind them had already caught up.
Deng Tianguan's proud laughter came from behind: "Chu Jinglan, if you surrender to this king, you may be left with a corpse!"
Chu Jinglan stared indifferently at the front, without saying a word, just snapped his fingers lightly, fifty shadow guards descended from the sky, and instantly entered the battle!
He even ambushed men and horses on this mountain!
Seeing the gang of shadow guards rampage in their own camp with swords, and even greeted him in the face, Deng Tianguan was instantly furious, and he was regretting that he had brought less people when his staff suddenly whispered something in his ear, and his expression froze for a moment. , and then slightly raised the corner of his lips, the smile was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
Something is wrong.
Pei Yuanshu has been calmly observing the situation from the beginning to the present. Although there are many enemies, and the bright sword can penetrate the hole, he has never been able to break through the defense line of the Shadow Guard. This is not an advantage for them, but Deng Tianguan is there. It's not normal to become calm after getting angry.
He turned around and wanted to remind Chu Jinglan: "My lord, Wei Chen thinks..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dim light behind Ye Huaiyang, and before he had time to remind her, the sharp weapon had already stabbed her hard, and just as it was about to touch her skin, Chu Jinglan He grabbed her to the chest and slapped her back with palms. After a heavy muffled sound, the attacker vomited blood and fell to the ground.
It even arranged water fish!
Pei Yuanshu knew that someone would deliberately train such underwater assassins to complete some special tasks, but he didn't expect to meet them today.
He was scratching his head and scratching his head to think of a way to do it, but there was a lot of movement under the water, shadows shuttled through it, as agile as a fish, Ye Huaiyang didn't slow down here, and suddenly an ankle that grabbed the crescent popped out there. Stop dragging her into the water, she screamed in horror, Ci Yuan cut off the hand with his sword in time, and then quickly pulled her behind him.
Tang Qingfeng lowered his face and stared at the water. Occasionally he raised his sword and stabbed without fail. The pool was gradually dyed red with blood, but fish in the water were still emerging one after another. It didn't take long for everyone to be colored to varying degrees.
This grinding will be finished sooner or later.
After killing an assassin again, Chu Jinglan pushed Ye Huaiyang towards Ciyuan and said, "You escort the princess and Lord Pei to go first."
Ye Huaiyang suddenly opened her eyes wide, and she pushed back with one sentence: "I'm not leaving!"
"You will only drag me down by staying here." Chu Jinglan flicked her away again, and at the same time turned to Pei Yuanshu and said, "Go to Chang Xin after you go down the mountain."
Pei Yuanshu nodded solemnly.
Although he didn't know what arrangements Chu Jinglan had made, according to the current situation, it seemed that the other party had the upper hand, and it would be very unfavorable for them to drag it on. He had to ask Chang Xin to come to the rescue as soon as possible, otherwise no one would be able to leave. Thinking of this, he persuaded aloud: "Princess, please follow the minister down the mountain, you can't delay any longer!"
Ye Huaiyang was unmoved, stared at Chu Jinglan and said, "I won't leave you."
Ci Yuan killed another assassin who jumped behind her, and then joined the ranks of persuasion, "Miss, if you stay here, the lord will be tied down, it's better to go down the mountain immediately, and you can send some people from the Ye family to come to support. ."
This sentence can be regarded as hitting Ye Huaiyang's heart. The Ye family still has some hidden forces in Jinguan City, but it needs the owner to activate it. It is absolutely impossible for her not to go.
Seeing that she was struggling, Chu Jinglan immediately motioned to Ci Yuan to take her away. Just as Ci Yuan was about to start, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Chu Jinglan, her hands trembled slightly and her eyes were red.
"You wait for me to come back."
Chu Jinglan pushed her away, and there was a dark silence in his eyes. Others only said that he was the mountain that collapsed in front of him without changing his face, but he never thought about what was hidden behind the silence, and Ye Huaiyang, who had always been keen, had not changed his face. The pain and anxiety of being separated disturbed the mind, and it was impossible to perceive it.
"Ciyuan, you stay to protect the prince."
Ye Huaiyang issued the final order, but before Ci Yuan could refute it, she had already rushed to the other side under the cover of Tang Qingfeng. Pei Yuanshu did not hesitate, and quickly followed, and the two disappeared from everyone's sight. middle.
The fighting continues here.
Deng Tianguan found that Ye Huaiyang had run away, and could not help but grit his teeth and roar: "Get him for this king!"
Dozens of water fish immediately jumped out of the water and stabbed Chu Jinglan with a faint cold light. However, at this moment, they seemed to have been restrained by a group. Looking at them, they were all pierced by an arrow, killing them instantly.
Deng Tianguan saw the dozens of snow-white arrow feathers from a distance, and his face suddenly changed drastically.
"That...that's not..."
The conjecture has not been verified yet, but a sharp arrow suddenly slashed across his eardrums, and a cluster of white light penetrated the sky and penetrated into his chest like lightning. Chu Jinglan's cold voice also floated over at the same time.
"You don't think this king really came alone."
Deng Tianguan clutched his chest and took a few steps backwards, his eyes were wide open, full of horror, and blood rushed out of his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.
"If you can die under the arrows of Shen Ce's army, you will not waste your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of neat boots coming from the woods on the other side. Ci Yuan looked back and saw hundreds of elites lined up in front, wearing silver armor and long bows, like a lion coming out of the nest, with Xiao Ran in his majesty. Murderous, makes people shudder.
It really is the army of gods, and no one in the world can imitate this battle and military style.
Ci Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't return to his senses for a long time. How could the Shence Army, which fell apart six years ago, appear here? Besides, since there is such divine help, why did the prince ask his young lady and Lord Pei to ask for help
He boldly looked into Chu Jinglan's eyes, but only saw darkness, cold and ruthless like an abyss.
