diseased bone

Chu Shao was so excited that he finally didn't care too much, and threw the young man in white under him with all his strength.

Zhou Lanmu was completely unprepared, and fell on his back from the bed, and fell heavily on the mattress that Chu Shao had just laid. Fortunately, the mattress was soft, so he was not injured.

It's just that the sapphire hairpin on his head flew straight down and hit an unknown corner.

The sound of being smashed into pieces exploded in the room.

There was silence, the black hair spread across his face, Zhou Lanmu lay on the ground without getting up, Chu Shao couldn't see his expression, only felt that he seemed to be shaking.

He wanted to stretch out his hand to help him up, but he felt that this action should not be done in this situation, so he had no choice but to stand still, and said hoarsely and with difficulty: "You...respect yourself."

Zhou Lanmu's long hair was loose, and he looked up at him with red eyes, as if he was trying very hard not to shed tears: "From Zongzhou to Zhongyang, you have so many confidante, blue-faced bosom friend, all over the world Everyone knows... the general is unparalleled, why can't I?"

He knelt on the mattress, struggled forward a few steps, and grabbed the corner of his clothes.Seeing him struggling to suppress it for a long time, Chu Shao showed a deliberate and frivolous smile: "I don't want anything from you, and you don't have to be responsible to me, but it's just a relationship between you and me, you don't have to think so much of."

If these words were said before he used Feng Shui Xiang to test him, Chu Shao might still be suspicious of what this person is asking for.

But now he clearly knew that what Zhou Lanmu wanted... was only him.

It's a pity he can't afford it.

Chu Shao's heart was complicated, and it took him a long time to lightly cover his hand and call him solemnly: "Hengshu."

Zhou Lanmu stared at him, raised his eyes slightly, with a naive expression of doubt: "Yes."

"I don't have a confidant," Chu Shao heard himself say. He felt that he must be crazy, so he was willing to confide in all these years of pretending. "I have no affair. I have never 'played' with others, so Not with you. I have only loved one person in my life, and he is dead. I will never love anyone else. You don't have to..."

Zhou Lanmu looked up at him, his eyes flickered because of shock: "Then you used to..."

"Do you think I'm really the big star under Qi Lang's subordinates, and he really doesn't have any doubts about me? If not, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate me long ago." Chu Shao smiled at him, and said with difficulty, "Even in the past... Linjiang Xianben was opened by my people, and many orphans were taken in in the building. Because of my name, others did not dare to bully them at will, which made their life easier."

He didn't continue talking, but Zhou Lanmu understood what he meant.

true or false?

He wondered blankly, did Chu Shao know something, why did he say such an obvious lie... But thinking about it carefully, he couldn't decide whether it was a lie for a while, so he had to listen to him continue.

"For so many years, I have built such a reputation for myself, just to save my life." Chu Shao moved his hand away and smiled bitterly, "In the past, I wanted to reassure the late emperor, but now I want to reassure Qi Lang. People who are afraid of death have to do this. If you misunderstand, it is my fault, but I can't... "

true or false?

Zhou Lanmu lowered his head, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He picked up something and put it in Chu Shao's hands, and smiled miserably at him.

This smile was too forced, but Zhou Lanmu was used to smiling, even if he forced it, he smiled very touchingly.

It took him a long while to hear his sobbing voice in the room: "Are you living... are you so tired?"

"Yes, others see that I have a great reputation and love me for my false reputation, but I am actually just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I can't afford your feelings." Chu Shao lowered his eyes and said quietly, "Heng Shu, You are a wonderful person, and I consider you a dear friend."

Zhou Lanmu smiled lightly, but didn't answer, stretched out his hands to brush his hair in a daze, and stood up unsteadily.

Chu Shao called him: "Hengshu..."

But Zhou Lanmu waved his hand at him wearily, turned his head and stumbled out of the room, and did not forget to close his door carefully before leaving.

Chu Shao sat on the couch and gently closed his eyes.

After a while, he looked down at his hands.What Zhou Lanmu put in his hand just now was the jade inlaid belt that had been torn off from him, and it was held tightly at this moment, revealing the bone-chilling chill unique to jade.

Although the snow did not fall in winter, the wind was strong. After Zhou Lanmu came out of the room, he was blown awake by a gust of wind.

true or false?

He felt that his mind was in a mess, and when he looked up, he found that in front of him was a window in the corridor, which had not been closed properly and was left wide open alone.Zhou Lanmu came closer, stood in front of the window and let the wind blow for a while, after thinking for a while, he suddenly jumped out of the window.

He closed the window carefully, and then jumped onto the roof lightly.Bai Canglang was sitting on the eaves, looking at him with a smile, the long gauze on the bamboo hat and the untied long hair were blown into a mess by the wind: "It's a pity, I thought I could hear a live erotic palace. "

Zhou Lanmu didn't say a word, walked up to him and sat down, Bai Canglang looked him in the eyes, and said, "It's unbelievable to say that you went to throw yourself into your arms, but you failed."

"Are the words he said true or false?" Zhou Lanmu sat in a daze, with a puzzled tone, "I thought...he would not reject anyone with a bit of beauty, but why did he Are you going to say something like that to me?"

Seeing him talking to himself, Bai Canglang couldn't help saying, "I think...it's quite true."

"But if this is true, what is everything I knew before?" Zhou Lanmu ignored him and continued, as if asking himself, "I used to think I didn't know him enough, but later I thought I did, but today I don't understand, what does he want?"

He frowned and sneered: "Ha, if you are greedy for life and fear of death, can you trample on others because you are greedy for life and fear of death? Absurd."

"What are you talking about, you?" Bai Canglang was confused by his quarrel, and interrupted him by waving his hand indiscriminately, "This move has failed, what are you going to do next?"

"What else can I do? Naturally, I will act according to the original plan." Zhou Lanmu was in a bad mood, and his words were not as gentle as usual. "Besides this relationship, I have other ways."

Bai Canglang said: "Yes, I'm just afraid that your heart will soften."

He looked up at the misty moon, and suddenly called him: "Chengyang..."

Zhou Lanmu said indifferently, "I don't like this name."

Bai Canglang asked: "Why?"

"Look at the moon," Zhou Lanmu said without raising his head, "If people are born to live only in the dark, they will think that the moon is the brightest thing in the world, but if a person has seen the sun, how can he still see the moon?" Put it in your eyes?"

He pursed his lips and said with an unclear expression: "I would rather never see the sun."

He seldom said such things, but Bai Canglang didn't express his emotions after hearing this, he just rested his hands on his pillow and said nonsense: "Oh, if only I had met you two years earlier, when you were still in the imperial palace To be a prince in the city must have more money than now, and you won't be busy mourning the spring and autumn, what a pity, what a great regret in life."

"Meet me a few years ago, I might not have time to talk to you," Zhou Lanmu looked at him with his chin in his hand, "But it's good if you met earlier, I was very boring at that time... If you were beating around, it wouldn't be so Stupid."

However, Bai Canglang almost fell asleep in a daze, and he only replied vaguely amidst the whistling wind: "Yeah, you were so stupid before, and you're not so smart now..."

Chu Shao didn't sleep well all night, and he heard the sound of the flute whimpering in the howling cold wind, so that after he woke up and opened his eyes in the morning, he still felt a little dazed.

Zhou Lanmu didn't come back all night.

"Little General Chu, Chu Shao, Chu Yuanjia!"

Bai Canglang outside the door changed his address three times in a row before he brought Chu Shao who was sitting in front of the bed back to his senses. He rubbed his dry eyes and opened the door for Bai Canglang. There is still a slight blue color: "Mr. Bai, what's the matter?"

"Don't, don't, don't call me Mr. Bai!" Bai Canglang took his shoulders familiarly and led him downstairs, "Just call me Brother Bai, Old Brother Bai, Brother Bai, Little Bai, etc. You can use any name, but Bai Daxia is even better, Bai Gongzi sounds too scary——I came to ask you to have breakfast, but you can’t come down upstairs by yourself, what are you doing, where is Sichun?"

Chu Shao dodged the hand on his shoulder without showing any trace, and reluctantly said: "I'm not feeling well, please trouble Brother Bai."

"Hey, No. [-] Tianzi, what a nice room, what a great condition, why are you prone to physical discomfort like Xiaolan?" Bai Canglang said, but he had already taken him to the lobby on the first floor, " In my opinion, life was too good in the past, and I have been living and sleeping in the open for so many years, and my health may not be bad."

Zhou Lanmu had already sat down at the table, his complexion was much worse than that of Chu Shao's, and he was pale.Seeing that he was holding a teacup in his hand, Chu Shao subconsciously looked up when he heard the sound upstairs.

The two happened to meet each other, but Zhou Lanmu quickly lowered his head as if avoiding something, and continued to drink his tea.Chu Shao noticed that his hands were trembling slightly, and thought he couldn't help it, so he put down his teacup, covered his mouth and coughed heavily behind his back.

"Xiaolan, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that he was not well, Bai Canglang stepped forward and said anxiously, "You were fine last night, why did you suddenly look so bad today? Did you sleep last night? Which of the two has kicked the quilt?"

"It's okay," Zhou Lanmu put his hands on Bai Canglang's sleeves, and gave him a forced smile, "I've always been afraid of the cold. I was blown by the cold wind last night, and I got a little feverish. I'll be fine after a few days."

Chu Shao suddenly recalled the howling wind last night. Could it be that he didn't go back to his room and sat outside all night?It is winter now, anyone who sits in the wind all night will feel uncomfortable, let alone he is so afraid of the cold.

He cursed himself secretly, but his thoughts were interrupted by Zhou Lanmu's cough again.Chu Shao raised his eyes and saw Zhou Lanmu hunched over, his cheeks were stained a tinge of plain red because of his severe cough.

Subconsciously wanted to speak, but swallowed the words back.Since confessing, he didn't know how to face the current situation at all, so he could only grab the cup at hand and take a few sips indiscriminately.

The three of them sat at a table with their own ghosts and had breakfast. After a few mouthfuls, they were ready to continue their journey to the southeast.

Zhou Lanmu's lack of energy is indeed not pretending. He has been thinking too much in the past few days. He didn't sleep last night and blew the cold wind. At this moment, his forehead was burned, and he was a little dizzy.

But in the past few years, he got used to being sick, so he didn't open his mouth. After getting in the car, he wrapped himself in a fox-fur blanket and fell asleep.

Chu Shao had been driving outside, and Bai Canglang knew that he had something on his mind, so he kept silent and just played chess with himself.

In a drowsy state, Zhou Lanmu only remembered that it was snowing outside, the carriage stopped a few times, and the three of them stayed in a post house and continued on their way. He was immersed in sleep most of the time, and his memory of these things was very vague .

Until he couldn't remember whether it was two days or three days later, he opened his eyes in a daze, and first saw the roof of the carriage painted with begonias.

The begonias were pierced with gold thread, covering the sky and covering the earth. It looks glamorous and dazzling.

Zhou Lanmu was so sick that he was a little drowsy, and he was not as careful as usual.

He looked at it for a while, and felt that his eyes were a little dry, so he closed them tightly, and subconsciously called out, "Yuan Jia..."

No one responded, he thought for a while before realizing that this was not the past.There was another mouthful of fishy smell, which made him cough twice, and a cold hand touched his forehead, and he heard Chu Shao's unnatural voice: "Are you awake?"

He was dressed in dark blue, and his eyes were black and blue. He thought he hadn't had a good rest. Zhou Lanmu tried his best to bend the corners of his lips, but failed, so he had to hide it: "Did I sleep for a long time?"

"Fortunately, Brother Bai said that you are very ill, and he was afraid that you will be overwhelmed, so he asked me to come in and take care of you." Chu Shao didn't look up at him, but stared at a spot below him, a little distracted, "We We’ve been walking for three days, and the snow has just stopped, so if there are no accidents, we’ll be near the Twelve Bridge tonight, and in a day’s time, we’ll be able to reach the southeast outer city.”

"Well, I see." Zhou Lanmu frowned, and tried to sit up. After answering this sentence, the two were speechless for a moment, and the bell of the carriage kept ringing on the roof.

"Yuanjia," Zhou Lanmu called him in a hoarse voice, Chu Shao looked up at the pale young master, and saw him showing a signature smile, "You ask Cang Lang to come in and rest for a while, let me go out instead, this kind of minor illness I've had a lot of babies, it's okay..."

"Hengshu," Chu Shao interrupted him, he stared at Zhou Lanmu closely, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes, "Aren't you willing to ride with me?"

Zhou Lanmu was taken aback, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and after a while, he said softly, "Why, I'm just afraid that you won't feel comfortable."

"I once met a man," Chu Shao seemed to be in a daze, and said to himself in an almost deep tone, "he said that he liked me. Other, unimportant things, not only broke his heart, but killed him."

Fingers curled up unconsciously, but nothing showed on his face, Zhou Lanmu asked calmly, "Oh, then what?"

"I regret it very much," Chu Shao closed her eyes, her heart ached and she could hardly speak for a moment, "...Sometimes I think, it would be nice if he never met me."

"Hengshu, you are the same. I also hope that you have never met me. You have no idea what I will bring you." He slowly turned his head and looked at Zhou Lanmu. In my mansion, it was meant to be a bit of a test, but now I can see that you really have no evil intentions. After returning to Zhongyang, I will report it to the eldest son carefully, and from now on you can be like this As you wish, find a life-saving official position, and live a smooth and worry-free life."

Zhou Lanmu gave a low laugh, and said seriously: "Is that so, do you really want to drive away everyone around you?"

Chu Shao stretched out his hand and helped Zhou Lanmu tighten the neckline of his white cloak, showing a weary smile: "The day I was born, my father died, and later my mother, friend, and lover, and now I don't want to be close to anyone anymore. Hengshu, I don't want to ruin you, as long as you stay far away from me, you can definitely... live a long and smooth life."

Zhou Lanmu frowned slightly after hearing these words.

What does this mean, why is it "destroyed" to get closer, and why does he eagerly reject everyone who approaches him... His tone doesn't sound like a perfunctory excuse, but what exactly is Chu Shao thinking?

It's not like... being a widow for yourself?

As soon as this thought came out, he laughed himself out first.

Even if it is, so what?The past injuries have been branded and scabbed. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have turned into a cold corpse. Could it be possible that a few words of "guilt" from the living could erase everything that happened?

Zhou Lanmu rolled his eyes and calmed down in an instant.

After a long time, Chu Shao saw that he turned his head, smiled slightly, and there was a layer of light in his eyes: "I just wanted to be friends with you, but you are fine. I didn't even give him a chance—how can there be such a stingy person?"

He intentionally made his words playful, wanting to liven up the atmosphere between the two, how could Chu Shao fail to understand what he meant, so he followed his words and said, "Of course, I didn't mean that either..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything to embarrass you from now on," Zhou Lanmu stretched out a hand with a well-knit hand to lift the curtain, and quickly replied, "It's just... because of my future duties, I must Working together with Yuan Jia, I hope you don't care about these things, just be as usual."

"It's natural, don't worry." Chu Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bit of solemnity to his words, "The journey is still long, if you are not feeling well, just sleep for a while."

Zhou Lanmu nodded, and after a while, he fell back asleep on the soft pillow behind him.Chu Shao leaned against the wall of the car with his sword in his arms, and suddenly heard Zhou Lanmu, who was in a coma, shout "Yuan Jia".

He looked back, thinking he had heard it wrong, but Zhou Lanmu called again in a low voice: "Yuan Jia..."

He squatted down beside the bed, his voice was very low: "What did you say?"

A crystal tear suddenly burst from the corner of the white-clothed young master's eye, slipped down the reddish corner of his eye, and disappeared into the pillow in an instant.The corners of his eyes have been red since he spoke in a serious manner just now, but Chu Shao deliberately avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look at him, so he didn't notice it.

Mr. Zhou, do you really like him that much?

Chu Shao gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

His heart was too chaotic, and he felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he hurried out and replaced Bai Canglang in, so he didn't see Zhou Lanmu slowly opened his eyes after he left, and slightly curled the corners of his lips, showing a cold and mocking smile.

When Bai Canglang came in, he saw Zhou Lanmu leaning on the cushion and smiling silently. He looked back and said ventriloquically, "What did you say? It's too chaotic outside, so I didn't hear it."

He approached as he spoke, and sat down beside Zhou Lanmu.

Zhou Lanmu leaned into his ear and said softly, "It's nothing, I said a few nice words, just to ask for his sympathy."

Bai Canglang glanced at him: "Look at you, you are in good spirits, are you in good health?"

Zhou Lanmu said: "Naturally, I said it was a minor illness earlier, and I have survived it before, so what is this minor illness and pain?"

"So you plan to leave today, do you want to continue?" Bai Canglang asked in a low voice, "You have talked to him a lot with sincerity, are you really not soft-hearted?"

"Are you kidding me? I won't soften my heart." Zhou Lanmu lowered his eyelids lazily, and smiled, "As for the plan...continue, of course I must continue. After playing with him for so long, I must ask for something back?"

Nothing happened along the way, and the three of them arrived near the Twelve Bridge in the evening.

Twelve Bridges is a small city, as the name suggests, there are twelve small bridges on the river across the city before entering the city.These bridges are all ancient bridges, with different thicknesses and various patterns carved on the stone railings.

It is rumored that earlier in the year when Dayin fought with foreigners in the southeast, the people of Twelve Bridges specially built the Twelve Square Bridge to welcome the Zhongyang army into the southeast.With the help of the Twelve Square Bridges, the Xuanjian Camp quelled the southeast chaos as quickly as possible, and Qi Ying, the leader of the army, was named King Ping for this reason.

It can be said that Twelve Bridges is the last city outside Southeast China.

After crossing the Twelve Bridges and walking a few miles, you can see the first city in the southeast—the ghost town of Huangyang.

It's just that it was rumored that Huangyang City couldn't walk at night, so the three of them didn't rush to leave, they found a hotel at Shierqiao at random, and stayed hastily.

For fear of embarrassment, Chu Shao never shared a room with Zhou Lanmu since that day. Fortunately, there were few people along the way, not as crowded as the inn just after leaving Shichuan.

After Chu Shao washed up as usual, just as he took off his outer robe, he heard a soft "boom" from the next door.

Before he could react, he heard a sudden gust of sword wind from the next door. Bai Canglang seemed to have seen someone, angrily shouted "Don't run", and chased after him through the window.

The figures of the two flashed past his window.

Chu Shao was startled, and immediately pushed the door to go out, but saw Zhou Lanmu wearing a large robe, standing opposite him, seeing him coming out, he explained: "Just now I was playing chess with Cang Lang, halfway through, suddenly someone Knock on the window."

Presumably what he heard just now was the sound of knocking on the window.

Chu Shao was still thinking, when the lights above his head flickered suddenly.

The small hotel is very remote, there are very few guests, and the entire promenade is empty, only the candlelight above the head.Chu Shao frowned, subconsciously tapped the sword out of its sheath, and pulled Zhou Lanmu behind him with one hand.

Zhou Lanmu was startled, then moved closer, and whispered in his ear: "Someone just passed by, and it's not the same as the one who knocked on the window, this person's footsteps are even lighter..."

Before he could finish speaking, a masked man in black jumped out of the window behind him!

With a sullen face, Chu Shao turned around and received his knife, the tip of the sword slashed on the blade, making a "ding" sound.

The man in black gave a hoarse laugh, turned over and jumped out of the window, Chu Shao chased after him without thinking, Zhou Lanmu put on his robe, and followed them out.

The man in black didn't seem to want to run sincerely either. He was like playing with a bird. After running two steps, he turned around and fought with Chu Shao for a while. The three of them entangled until the twelve bridges beside the city gate.

There was still snow on the Twelfth Bridge, and the two of them swept it away, and a large snowflake was blown up.Chu Shao moved a little slowly, and glanced at Zhou Lanmu behind him, but the man in black noticed his glance, and rushed towards Zhou Lanmu without hesitation.

Zhou Lanmu was still a little weak, he didn't want to do anything, so he took three steps back with his hands behind his back, barely leaning against the edge of the railing.The man in black stared at his face for a while, but didn't move, and actually flew past him quickly, and only stopped when he flew to the railing far away from the two of them.

His voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as that of the man in black at the Chunlai Inn. He must have changed his tone in some special way. Seeing him stop, Chu Shao cautiously did not approach him, holding the sword in one hand, and asked coldly: "You Who is it?"

The man in black raised his hand and bowed to the void with a complex gesture: "Hey, you came to His Highness King Ping's territory and asked who I am?"

Chu Shao was startled, and looked back. Zhou Lanmu's expression was normal, and he asked lightly: "So, His Highness King Ping already knew we were coming?"

"Mr. Lan's doing this is too dishonest," the man in black replied hoarsely, "since my master said that he would invite you to come some other day, why are you in such a hurry? You two went to the southeast privately, which made my master very upset." It’s because I’m not happy, that’s why I was sent here.”

As he spoke, he threw a small dagger over.

Zhou Lanmu reached out to catch it, and seeing a letter on the small dagger, Chu Shao also lowered his head to look at it, and couldn't help but change his expression.

On the letter paper was printed the word "Feng" in seal script with gold foil. This is a letter from Zhongyang Jinting Imperial City!

If Qi Lang wanted to deliver a letter to them, he would usually send out a parrot guard who traveled faster to deliver the letter directly in front of the two of them.These parrot guards usually don't show up, so they will leave the letter in a place where the two of them are sure to find it. Presumably, the letter was delivered to the post at Shierqiao, but it was intercepted by the person in front of him.

"Master said, the visitor is a guest. Since we have already arrived in the southeast outer city, it's okay to come and see you." The man in black saw that the faces of the two were uncertain, so he continued, "Since Zhongyang sent someone to come to you in silence Come, don't blame him for being ruthless, if you two sincerely want to see each other, after seven days, at the end of Twelve Bridges, just wait!"

He took a step back, swept his legs, and once again threw a large snowflake in front of the two: "Farewell!"

As soon as Chu Shao took a step forward, the figure of the man in black disappeared in a cloud of snow and mist.

Zhou Lanmu stood there without moving. He opened the letter in his hand solemnly, only to see Qi Lang's handwriting: "Parrot Wei Qinmu is seriously injured, and the situation is unknown. Yuan Jia stays in the southeast, and the fourth son returns quickly."

Chu Shao lowered his eyes, knowing that the members of the Wei clan must have done it, but Qi Lang didn't know it yet, and he summoned Zhou Lanmu back to the court at this time, probably because he wanted him to take the opportunity to find out who did it.

And letting him stay in the southeast for the time being shows that Qi Lang really has suspicions about King Ping, and I am afraid that calling Zhou Lanmu back at this time also means to dismiss him.If he thought correctly, after Zhou Lanmu left, Qi Lang would have another order for him.

Zhou Lanmu didn't seem to have thought about it so much. After reading the letter, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and the fragile letter paper shattered in his hands, turning into dust and falling on the snow under his feet: "Qin Mu is seriously injured, could it be How did the Wei clan know what they did?"

Chu Shao said: "I don't know either. The eldest son is asking you to go back at this time. I'm afraid he has his own plans."

It just so happened that Zhou Lanmu also said at this time: "The eldest son must have some kind of plan to ask you to stay in the southeast."

Chu Shao nodded and said, "King Ping said that after seven days..."

Zhou Lanmu: "This place is four days away from Zhongyang. If you hurry up, it should only take three days. I will go back to see the eldest son and investigate the case. After seven days, I can bring the parrot guard back. See what that person just said, King Ping I am quite dissatisfied with you and me on this trip, if something unexpected happens, it is easy to resist."

Chu Shao said: "It's very good."

Zhou Lanmu also replied: "Then I will leave early tomorrow morning."

The two walked back slowly along the Twelve Bridges. Chu Shao glanced at him and coughed: "Tell Brother Bai to go back to Zhongyang with you. You are not in good health yet. If you meet anyone on the road, you will be fine." Good resistance."

Zhou Lanmu pursed his lips: "I want him to stay with you. Twelve Bridges is a remote place, and King Ping is eyeing him, just in case he does anything to you..."

"He doesn't dare," Chu Shao interrupted him, "Since he said that after seven days, he must not break his promise. Besides, I am a general, and it is the fate of the country. It is not good for him to attack me rashly."

It took a long time before Zhou Lanmu let out a "huh".

The two walked back step by step through the snow, until they reached the door of the room, Chu Shao hesitated and said: "Your trip...be careful in everything."

Zhou Lanmu avoided his gaze: "General, don't worry."

Chu Shao wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by Bai Canglang who came from the other side of the corridor, cursing: "I'm just kidding me, I just run but don't move, it's really boring, and I don't know who is so boring!"

Seeing the two standing outside, he asked, "Hey, did you two see the man who just barged in?"

Zhou Lanmu smiled at him: "Canglang, come in first, I'll discuss something with you."

Bai Canglang glanced at him, and walked sideways into the room. Chu Shao watched Zhou Lanmu reach out to close the door, and said in a low voice, "Take care."

After closing the door, he heard Zhou Lanmu Lengyu's pleasant voice.

"You too."

On the second day, Zhou Lanmu and Bai Canglang set off back to Zhongyang.

Chu Shao was bored at the Twelve Bridges one day, so he had to sleep in his room. He thought that Qi Lang would let him do other things after he sent Zhou Lanmu away, but for five days in a row, he did not receive a message from Zhong Zhongyang. letterhead.

Could it be that Qi Lang really just called Zhou Lanmu back to Zhongyang to handle the case?

Although Qin Mu was his biggest confidant in the Parrot Guard, he wouldn't specially call back Zhou Lanmu who was far southeast, not to mention that Zhou Lanmu might not be someone he could trust completely in Qi Lang's heart.

Thinking about it worse, Qi Lang might have discovered something and dismissed him to silence Zhou Lanmu.

Or, even the letter from Zhongyang was forged, Duke Wei wanted to silence him.

In short, it is definitely not in Zhou Lanmu's interest to keep him away from Zhou Lanmu's side.

He may be in serious danger now.

The more Chu Shao thought about it, the more wrong he became, but he still decided to wait until the date agreed with Zhou Lanmu came in two days. If this person didn't come back, he would leave King Laoshi Ziping alone and go back to Zhongyang first.With Bai Canglang by Zhou Lanmu's side, maybe nothing major will happen, but just in case...

It was agreed that in the early morning of the day, Chu Shao woke up early, opened the window of the room and took a look at the Twelve Bridges.

The sky above the Twelfth Bridge was empty, the snow had melted, and it had been sunny for the past few days, with no trace of snow falling at all.

No one was there, and no one came.

Uneasiness suddenly grew in Chu Shao's heart, he closed the window, and made up his mind to leave for Zhongyang immediately, but just as he spread the burden on the couch, there was a slight sound behind him.

call out--

Without even looking back, Chu Shao knocked back with the sword with the scabbard, and the door was broken open. When he turned around, he saw a black figure passing by the door.

It was the group of black-clothed men who eluded King Ping again.

Chu Shao was furious, pushed open the window at hand and chased him out. He secretly made up his mind that Zhou Lanmu was not here today, so he didn't have to be as cautious as that night. Some things about King Ping come.

After all, he doesn't show up himself, and it's really annoying to always send this group of men in black who are like thieves.

The man in black was exactly the same as that day. After jumping out of the room, he ran towards the Twelve Bridge, as if he had decided that it was not easy to talk in the room.Chu Shao followed very closely, and as soon as he reached the Twelfth Bridge, the man in black stopped as before.

Chu Shao was forced to stop too.

It's not that he thought about it, he saw the man in black throwing a ball of transparent silk thread from his cuff with sharp eyes just now, and quickly wrapped it around the railing in front of him a few times.If he hadn't reacted quickly and stopped in time, his throat would have been cut by these transparent silk threads.

The man in black threw another thing at him in the air, Chu Shao looked down and found another letter.

Before he had time to take it apart, the man in black in front of him spoke. The strange thing is that this time he didn't deliberately disguise his voice. Instead, he raised his voice clearly and loudly, as if he was speaking to someone on purpose: "Little General Chu, my master already understands what you mean, and he specially sent me here today to say that he accepts your wishes."

Chu Shao was startled, before he could understand what he was saying, he heard a sound of footsteps behind him.

The man in black in front of him seemed to have heard it too, tiptoed, turned around and left quickly, and before leaving, he did not forget to leave a sentence: "In the future, when the general enters the southeast, my master will treat him with national courtesy."

Chu Shao wanted to chase after him, but there were those silk threads in the way in front of him, so he had no choice but to jump up to the railing. Unexpectedly, just after he jumped up, the man in black, who had already run a long way away, twitched his sleeves and retracted the pile of silk threads.

The silk thread fluttered in the air, and Chu Shao hurriedly backed away, almost falling. He saw the man in black running farther and farther, turned around and wanted to continue chasing him. Before he had taken a few steps, a silver-white light flashed behind him quickly. come over.

Chu Shao stared at the man in black who was running farther and farther, and blocked it impatiently, but the moment the blunt object collided, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Because he suddenly realized that this silver-white light was emitted by Yinxue Dao.

Chu Shao turned around in amazement, before he could see the face of the person behind him clearly, there was a gust of sword energy attacking his face, so he had to bend his elbows to resist, the two swords barely stopped in front of him, he saw Zhou Lanmu's eyes filled with affection.

"Why are you back?" Chu Shao even forgot to put away his sword, stared blankly at him who should not have appeared, and asked in a daze, "Did someone chase you down along the way..."

It's just a moment of stupefaction.

Zhou Lanmu didn't seem to care about what he said at all, frowned and took a step back mercilessly, the long sword in his hand turned around and stabbed again, piercing Chu Shao's right shoulder quickly and ruthlessly.

The severe pain finally woke up Chu Shao.

He glanced sideways and looked at Zhou Lanmu in disbelief. Before he could speak, four or five parrot guards surrounded him and firmly pinned him to the ground.

A beautiful hand stretched out and took the letter paper in his hand.

Zhou Lanmu handed the letter to a parrot guard beside him, and said with a blank expression, "Read."

"I am overjoyed to hear the general's intentions. The great seal is suffering, and the Wei has passed away for a long time. It will be a blessing for all the people that the general and I will return the government to the Feng Dynasty." He said in a low voice, "Ping Wang Qi Chu, Yin."

Chu Shao didn't understand it at first, but after the parrot guard finished reading the letter in his hand, he fully understood it.

This is simply a well-designed framing...Let him stay alone in the southeast and his whereabouts are unknown, and then someone will say a few plausible words, and with the unopened letterhead in his hand, everyone can clearly see the parrot guards present It is clear that Chu—General Chu Shao, defected to King Ping of the Southeast and wanted to rebel.

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Lanmu, feeling his blood run cold for a moment: "It's you?"

Zhou Lanmu knelt down in front of him, showing an innocent and beautiful smile like seeing him for the first time: "Naturally."

He leaned against his ear, and whispered in a very intimate manner: "Since the day I returned to Zhongyang, I have been thinking about what to do to make the eldest son complete.
