The sky gradually darkened.

It was already far away from Duanshui City, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so Xie Ning asked Lan Tingsheng to stop and take a rest.

Since Xiao Xingyu may not be able to listen to someone, and seeing someone keep a straight face and keep silent, Xiao Xingyu didn't speak anymore. Aunt Yu took the medicine and barely rested for a long time in the bumpy carriage. It's much better.

After getting off the carriage, Aunt Yu proposed to find some food for Xiao Xingyu by the river.

Xiao Xingyu was bored, so he followed behind Xie Ning. Seeing that Xie Ning finally opened his mouth again, he said to Lan Tingsheng who was sitting on the side of the carriage silently: "Give me back the sword."

Lan Tingsheng glanced at him, frowned, honestly took out a delicate dagger from his pocket, and threw it to Xie Ning.Xie Ning took it immediately and pinned it on the back again, but Xiao Xingyu was confused.

"Lan Tingsheng, when did you steal Xie Ning's sword again?"

The words were full of accusations, but Lan Tingsheng didn't get angry, he just replied indifferently: "If I don't steal his sword, he will come to you?"

Xiao Xingyu still didn't quite understand, and guessed a little bit in his heart, but seeing Xie Ning, he didn't explain, so he went to the grove to pick up some branches, and used them as firewood at night for a while.

I thought to myself that Lan Tingsheng deliberately provoked this incident and stole Xie Ning's dagger that matched with the long sword, causing Xie Ning to look for him everywhere, and Lan Tingsheng deliberately followed behind him a while ago, so Xie Ning I found it.

Also a little disappointed, it turned out that Xie Ning didn't come here to save him...

At the west end of the moon, by the edge of the grove, a few people sat around a small fire. Aunt Yu caught a big fish from the river and was roasting it on the fire. She learned from the imperial dining room. Even with such crude cooking skills, Aunt Yu can still cook delicious grilled fish.

But now the few people are not in the mood to eat, Xiao Xingyu couldn't hold back, and asked Lan Tingsheng who had been acting as a gourd since they met during the day, and said, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you go back to Duan Shui City?"

"By the way, how is Duan Qingfeng?"

There was fire in Lan Tingsheng's eyes, and it took him a long time before he said calmly, "I couldn't find it, so I came out again."

"Why can't I find it?"

Xiao Xingyu was a little surprised, just when he was about to say that Xu Jiangyuelou had released Duan Qingfeng, Lan Tingsheng said again: "I spent the night in Wuzheng Villa, and only saw his golden pen in the dungeon."

As he opened his palm, on which lay a slender and delicate gold pen like a hairpin, Xiao Xingyu was speechless.

Duan Qingfeng's golden pen is his status symbol, just like the jade pendant he lost earlier, he never left his body, and that Duan Qingfeng's golden pen appeared in Lan Tingsheng's hands, does it prove that Duan Qingfeng is already... more ominous!

Obviously, Lan Tingsheng was very sad. He was alone in the rivers and lakes, and only Duan Qingfeng regarded him as a friend and worked hard for him everywhere. Suddenly, he disappeared. How could he feel at ease?

Lan Tingsheng carefully fumbled for the gold pen in his hand, his eyes were a little dazed, and he said in a low voice: "I've searched everywhere I could, and I've asked his friends, after luring Lu Qingbo away, he didn't There was no trace of him in the city... I thought he was looking for you, so he came back."

But he followed Jiang Yuelou's whereabouts to find Xiao Xingyu, but did not see Duan Qingfeng.

Xiao Xingyu was silent for a while, and sighed: "Brother Duan, he should be fine, how dare Jiang Yuelou..."

He didn't know what to say to comfort him, and his mood suddenly became complicated. He looked at Lan Tingsheng again, "Then what are you going to do? Continue looking for him?"

Let's not mention Aunt Yu next to her. She has always been measured and never speaks easily. Xie Ning is also a person who has nothing to do with her, so she pretends she didn't hear it.Lan Tingsheng held the gold pen in both hands, stared at the fire for a while and thought for a while, then said: "I don't know, I want to return this thing to him, so that no one will say that I stole from him in the future."

Xiao Xingyu knew that if it wasn't for him, nothing would happen to Duan Qingfeng, he thought about it, and suddenly remembered what Duan Qingfeng and Lan Tingsheng said before they parted, and said happily: "Have you ever thought that Brother Duan might go to Youlan first Valley?"

"Youlan Valley?"

Lan Tingsheng looked at him in surprise, and Xie Ning couldn't help but look sideways at him after hearing the name, Xiao Xingyu knew he was listening, and was a little happy in his heart, it turned out that Xie Ning didn't treat him as transparent , and then said: "Think about it, what did Duan Qingfeng say to you when we left that day?"

"Go to Orchid Valley and wait for me first, I will find you soon..."

Xiao Xingyu recited it deliberately, feeling more and more likely, "Look, Duan Qingfeng is not easy to deceive people, and he said that Jiang Yuelou would not dare to kill him, since he promised you, he will definitely Made it."

Unexpectedly, when Lan Tingsheng heard about Youlan Valley, he resolutely resisted, "I won't go, you have to go by yourself!"

Xiao Xingyu recalled that when Duan Qingfeng and Lan Tingsheng talked about Youlan Valley, he also looked like this, so he pretended to sigh: "Brother Duan has worked so hard to find someone for you, and now his whereabouts are unknown. Would you like to go to Youlan Valley to have a look as he wishes?"

Lan Tingsheng immediately became angry, "Who do you think he is for? It's not you, the troublemaker!"

Xiao Xingyu knew he was in the wrong, and he wanted to help Duan Qingfeng persuade Lan Tingsheng to go to Youlan Valley because of guilt. Duan Qingfeng finished?

Xiao Xingyu touched the tip of his nose and said: "This is the end of the matter, what if Duan Qingfeng is really waiting for you in Youlan Valley? Go and have a look."

Xu hit Lan Tingsheng's weakness, he really hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "But Youlan Valley doesn't allow men to enter..."

"It seems that there is such a rule..."

Xiao Xingyu also felt that it was a bit difficult, and subconsciously looked at Xie Ning, who was calm and composed. After a long while, the other party seemed to be unable to hold his breath, and revealed a sentence: "Holding the Orchid Jade Token, you can enter the Orchid Valley. Peer."

Xiao Xingyu clapped his hands in surprise and said, "I knew you would know!"

Xie Ning half-closed his eyes and looked at him, Xiao Xingyu didn't dare to say more, he turned to Lan Tingsheng with a smirk and said, "Aren't you a thief? You should be able to steal the Jade Token, right?"

Lan Tingsheng was full of surprise, took out a piece of chalcedony from his bosom, handed it to Xie Ning, and asked anxiously, "This...is this the Jade Token of Youlan Valley?"

On his palm, lay a piece of Hetian chalcedony carved in the shape of a blooming orchid, decorated with long tassels and a faint blue lanyard, which was very beautiful.

Xie Ning only took one look, then nodded firmly.

Lan Tingsheng didn't doubt that he was there, and he panicked even more. Duan Qingfeng ran away and wanted to find someone for him, but at that time, he handed over the emerald jade order to him. Does it prove that he may realize that he can't help him find someone? Accompanied Lan Tingsheng to Orchid Valley?

Suddenly he became quiet, staring blankly at the gold pen and jade token in his hand, Xiao Xingyu didn't know what he was thinking, he just asked: "Now that the jade token is already in hand, Lan Tingsheng, what are you doing?" Do you want to go to Orchid Valley?"

Under the light of the fire, there seemed to be stars shining in Lan Tingsheng's eyes, Xiao Xingyu didn't realize anything, and saw Lan Tingsheng clenched his hands tightly, and nodded.Xiao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Duan helped me, and I also want to go to Youlan Valley with you. Xie Ning, you will go with us too?"

Hearing this, Xie Ning looked at Xiao Xingyu coldly, Xiao Xingyu remembered what Xie Ning said during the day, and quickly changed his words: "That...you decide, you decide!"

Unexpectedly, Lan Tingsheng shook his head gently: "No need, I can go by myself."

Xie Ning said, "You may not be able to enter. Youlan Valley not only prohibits men from entering, but also has three rules. People with heartless hearts, treacherous people and thieves are not allowed to enter."

Then Lan Tingsheng must not be able to go in, Lan Tingsheng paused, and said angrily: "Then I won't go."

The emperor was not in a hurry with eunuchs, Xiao Xingyu was in a hurry more than anyone else, "That's all for the first two, why did you specifically prohibit thieves from entering later? What if someone else has a problem? And it's clear that Lan Tingsheng is not allowed to go. !"

He is a well-known thief, so he must not be allowed to enter in Orchid Valley.

Xie Ning asked back, "Isn't your house safe from thieves?"

Xiao Xingyu thought about it, but Xie Ning started to explain: "A few years ago, Mrs. Lan took in a child who was displaced by floods in her hometown and was forced to steal. But when the child left, she actually stole Mrs. Lan The most beloved thing, attracted Mrs. Lan to send out the people of the Orchid Valley to find it from the pawnshop after a lot of hard work. From then on, Mrs. Lan added the latter rule, and determined that thieves are not good people."

Lan Tingsheng just flattened his mouth when he heard the words, and snorted, seemingly disdainful.

Xie Ning then asked him, "Stole my sword, did you just want me to save someone?"

Lan Tingsheng rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I just want to prove that my stealing skills are the best in the world!"

"Duplicity." Xie Ning said lightly, and then asked him: "Why are you going to Orchid Valley?"

Lan Tingsheng was silent, Xie Ning waited for a while, before he could answer, he smiled faintly and said: "In that case, I will help you and send you to Orchid Valley."

"Eh?"

Not to mention that Lan Tingsheng stared at him with wide eyes, Xiao Xingyu also looked surprised, then saw Xie Ning smiled softly and said: "It just so happens that the schedule is boring, and it's more fun."

"...Then are we going the same way?"

Xiao Xingyu was very excited, the villain in his heart was already cheering and circling, he pretended to be calm, but couldn't hide the joy in his handsome eyebrows, and deliberately blinked at Xie Ning.

Xie Ning said, "Probably so."

The author has something to say:

The transitional chapter, the following is the story of Orchid Valley.

By the way, let me explain that Xie Ning has no feelings for the fourth prince now, but is interested in Lan Tingsheng, but Lan Tingsheng is also a walk-on, but the fourth prince is only grateful and curious (and face control) more than liking, and the relationship needs to be slow. Slow cultivation, the fourth prince still needs to continue to work hard┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
