After raising a crooked junior brother, his design collapsed [Rebirth]

The two of them patted their backs and poured water. After busying for a while, Gu Lan finally spat out the things.

It was a half-sized water-absorbing bead, almost soaked into ink by the medicinal juice.Presumably Gu Lan relied on this thing to prevent her mind from being damaged by the medicine made from the ecstasy grass.

Feng Wuzhou said incredulously: "Even if you want to use it to absorb water, you don't have to think about swallowing it."

"Who... who swallowed it!" Gu Lan supported the wall for a while, took a few mouthfuls of water to rinse her mouth, and continued: "I've always kept it in my mouth, who knew you would pop out suddenly Picked me up and scared me so much that it rolled down."

"I almost suffocated to death." Gu Lan said, then bowed to pick up the beads.She didn't dislike being dirty, she just rinsed it with the kettle Ji Xingmian gave her and stuffed it back into her skirt.

Seeing her movements, Ji Xingmian took another look at her messy appearance, and silently took back the half-handed handkerchief.

The outside is not a place to talk, and those people will chase after Gu Lan soon after they find out that Gu Lan is not trapped by the formation.The three of them quickly dealt with the traces on the ground, and went back to the yard where Ji Xingmian and the others were brought to.

The original broken entrance was still there, and the three of them entered one by one and returned to the original small courtyard.Feng Lingxuan was leaning against the tree and looking at the jade slip that Ji Xingmian gave before he left. Seeing that they not only came back by themselves but also brought an extra one, Feng Lingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"

Ji Xingmian was about to explain, but Gu Lan, who was originally at the back, suddenly took a big step to the front, pointed at Feng Lingxuan with a shocked face, and said, "It's you!"

Feng Lingxuan asked inexplicably: "Who are you?"

Gu Lan: "Are you Feng Lingxuan?"

Feng Lingxuan: "..."

The skirt on his body was still on, how could Feng Lingxuan admit his identity, and denied it without thinking: "No!"

Gu Lan pointed at his hand and retracted it, with suspicion in her eyes.

Ji Xingmian asked her, "What are you looking for with Feng Lingxuan?"

"He owes me money!" Gu Lan said.

Feng Lingxuan: "???" Since when did he ever owe someone money?

"Oh?" Feng Wuzhou on the side didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said with great interest: "He still owes you money?"

"How is it possible!" Feng Lingxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and blurted out.

As soon as he finished his answer, he realized that he was wrong. Sure enough, Gu Lan glared at him angrily, "He said it wasn't you! Liar, lose money!"

Now that he has been recognized, Feng Lingxuan simply stopped pretending, "Who are you?" He asked, "Do I know you? You said I owe you money, what about the IOU?"

Gu Lan stared at him for a while, then turned her head away with a "hum", "I don't have an IOU."

"What do you say without an IOU." Feng Lingxuan was relieved, "Little rascal, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Ji Xingmian watched the two of them for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and asked Gu Lan, "Is your mother Xie Zheng?"

"How do you know!" Gu Lan took two steps back to keep a distance from them, with a vigilant expression, "Who are you?"

Ji Xingmian was silent for a moment, and washed off the disguise on his face with the water diversion formula.Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "His Royal Highness?"

"I'm not the prince." Ji Xingmian changed the name on the family tree considering that she was in the border all year round, and said, "I'm Ji Lian."

Gu Lan knelt on one knee, clasped her fists and saluted, "Master Ji."

"You don't need to call it that outside." Ji Xingmian stretched out his hand to pull her up, "Why are you in a border town? I remember back then..."

Gu Lan's surname is not Gu, but Xie. Nearly 20 years ago, when Qin Li was born, the Moxiu of Xiyue Kingdom violated the contract and entered, and there was a riot in the border town.

One of the demon kings was on the spur of the moment when he passed by the border city, and sneaked into it on a detour. Thanks to Xie Zheng, the wife of the Xie family, who was also in the city at the time, she was the first to notice the arrival of the demon cultivator, and helped the city army defending it for more than a few months. The lives of the people in the border towns were saved.

But she also died of dystocia due to too much wear and tear, leaving only one baby girl.As a show of respect, the royal family made an exception and gave the baby girl a foreign surname, princess, and raised her in the imperial capital.

Ji Xingmian also met her a few times when he was a child, and he had the impression that she was in poor health, and every time he came out, he would have a headache and brain fever, arguing to go back home, completely different from the girl in front of him who was so careless that she almost looked like a boy. Same.

As for Gu Qiang's previous rhetoric, I'm afraid it was also to whitewash the peace and help Xie Lan cover up the matter.After all, if news of the orphan of a martyred general being left in a border town gets out, the royal family will definitely be outraged, and it won't look good.

"I wanted to escape by myself, don't blame Uncle Gu and the others." Xie Lan said: "The imperial capital is too boring, I don't want to stay there forever."

"I don't have to pursue the matter of you running from the imperial capital to the border." Ji Xingmian said: "But you must explain to me why you ran to Rakshasa City. If you ran out like this regardless, if something happened , if you are held accountable, you won’t be punished, but those people below, who can afford it?”

Xie Lan was still a little unconvinced at first, but as Ji Xingmian's words gradually faded, she bit her lip, and finally lowered her head deeply, "I'm sorry."

"I didn't run out after arguing with General Gu." Xie Lan said, "I led a team to patrol the city that day, and found a demon cultivator..."

Because of her mother's death, Xie Lan hated Moxiu the most, so she was the first to arrest Moxiu after discovering that Moxiu had mixed into the border town.But for some reason, she didn't report it immediately, but suppressed the matter and took it back to her mansion for interrogation secretly.

Nearly 20 years have passed since what happened that year, but no one has revealed to her who the demon king who caused the border turmoil was.

Xie Lan insisted on coming to the border from the imperial capital to find out what happened back then. Who would have thought that even the people in the border town would not know anything about that year. They only knew about the siege incident back then, but they didn't know who the Moxiu was behind the scenes.

Nowadays, unlike in the past, there are very few magic cultivators who come to the border town across the border.A few years later, Xie Lan was about to give up hope, but at this moment she caught that person.

After several days of interrogation, the demon cultivator finally couldn't stand the torture, and let out a little air, saying that the adult he was following is now in Rakshasa City, and he just came to the border town for fun.

After Xie Lan finished listening, Dang even packed up his things and ran out, leaving only a letter in the room stating his whereabouts.Knowing Gu Qiang's habits, she calculated that the other party would come to the room to look for her if she hadn't seen her for a few days, so she ran out with confidence, but she didn't expect that not long after she left the city, she would be arrested by Lorna and brought into Raksha City.

After listening, Ji Xingmian asked her, "Didn't the outside world say that Lorna and the current city lord are at odds? Why..."

"They're just pretending!" Xie Lan said excitedly, "Every time they come together to give me medicine, I've also heard what kind of message they use to talk to a man, telling him to honor the Lord or something, and say that they plan to Everything is going well, I suspect that they have already defected to Xiyue Kingdom."

Before and after the contact, the truth of the matter became obvious. The magician who was "mistakenly caught" by Xie Lan was obviously just a cover, the purpose was to lure Xie Lan out.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess, Xie Lan has a special status, if she can brainwash her through the Yuxi bug and then arrange to return to the imperial capital, she can do more than a little bit.

Thanks to Xie Lan's cleverness, he thought of using water-absorbing beads to absorb the medicinal juice, so he survived.

Things have progressed to this point, and the things they are looking for have already come to fruition.The behind-the-scenes agent of the Yuxi Worm is Moxiu, and it is likely to be related to the invasion more than ten years ago. Xie Lan, who was entrusted by Gu Qiang, has also been found, and there is no need for them to stay in Raksha City any longer.

Ji Xingmian looked at the other two, "What do you think?"

Feng Wuzhou immediately said that he listened to him, and Feng Lingxuan had been distracted since he heard that Xie Lan's mother was Xie Zheng, and only recovered after being called out several times.

"Ah..." Feng Lingxuan scratched his nose with a slightly unnatural expression, "Then go to Xiyue."

Ji Xingmian thought the same way. Now that he has found the clues, there is no reason to let him escape.

A few people tidied up, Feng Wuzhou and the two went to change clothes, Ji Xingmian helped Xie Lan undo the spirit sealing spell on her body, and let her meditate to restore some spiritual power, and when the sky darkened, she took advantage of the night to come out. the mansion.

Because of Xie Lan's escape, the entire Rakshasa City was heavily guarded, and patrolling figures could be seen everywhere.

After all, Xie Lan's spiritual power has been sealed for so long, and she is not familiar with using it. She was almost discovered in the middle of it. Ji Xingmian was about to help, but Feng Lingxuan pulled Xie Lan faster than him, narrowly avoiding the patrolling team .

There were many people outside, and several people hid in Tibet. After a lot of effort, they finally came out of Rakshasa City when it was almost dawn.

"Go north for a day and you can return to the border town. We still have things to do, so we won't see you off." Ji Xingmian said to Xie Lan.

"No." Xie Lan refused to go back, "I'm going to Xiyue too."

Ji Xingmian looked at her calmly, "I have no reason to take you."

"I..." Xie Lan gritted her teeth, "I can protect myself, I still remember the voice of that Demon Lord!" She seemed to have finally found some value in herself, and said cruelly: "If you don't take me, I won't tell you what his voice was like."

This time Ji Xingmian didn't need to talk, Feng Wuzhou said it for him first, and he looked at Xie Lan with a smile, "I think so highly of myself? Do you think we have no other way to find him except you?"

Xie Lan was startled when she heard the words: "I..."

Feng Wuzhou originally wanted to say more, but was suddenly pulled back by Ji Xingmian.He glanced at Ji Xingmian vaguely and obediently closed his mouth.

The girl who was still complacent and threatening just now lowered her head like an eggplant beaten by frost and said nothing, Ji Xingmian lightly touched the top of her hair, "Go back."

"I don't want to go back." Xie Lan's eyes were red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you all hiding it from me? Don't I have the right to know the truth? That's my mother, I didn't once Having met her, I don't even know who my dad is..."

She was out of breath from crying, and hiccupped because she cried too hard, and her face was covered with tears when she wiped her sleeves, but no one laughed at her.

"Let her follow."

After a long silence, Feng Lingxuan suddenly said, "If anything happens, I will protect her."

Ji Xingmian frowned slightly, not agreeing in his heart.

Although he had the experience of being reborn, he was limited by his cultivation after all, and he could only protect Feng Wuzhou by changing him to a prototype in case of danger.Feng Lingxuan's cultivation base is a little lower than his, even with the life-saving means given by the high priest, it is difficult to protect another person.

After all, Xie Lan's identity is sensitive, so it's not good for her to make any mistakes.

"If you don't let her follow, she will follow us secretly when we leave." Feng Lingxuan saw his worries, and said bluntly: "Instead of guessing where she is at that time, it's better to put her in the first place." Look under your nose."

Ji Xingmian frowned, and finally let go after a while, "Okay."

The four of them set off, and Raksha City was originally in the direction of the Xiyue Kingdom, so it only took about half a day to reach the border of the Xiyue Kingdom.

After discovering that Xie Lan's spiritual power was weak, they stopped and found a cave for her to rest.

Ji Xingmian stood outside the cave looking at the distant boundary line, and was guessing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes in connection with the events before his rebirth, when suddenly a person came from behind and hugged him from behind.

"Brother." Feng Wuzhou hung on his back like a boneless one, wrapped his arms around his waist, and asked close to his ear, "What are you thinking?"

Can't talk about the rebirth yet, Ji Xingmian said, "It's nothing."

"Liar." Feng Wuzhou snorted softly, "If you didn't think about anything, how could you not find out until I hugged you."

Ji Xingmian was speechless, so he had no choice but to talk about what he was guessing was behind the scenes, omitting the part about his rebirth.

"What do you think about so much now, don't you know when you go over there and check it later?" Feng Wuzhou didn't care, and hugged him even tighter, "There is a lot of competition among demon cultivators, and few survived since then. After all, we can’t escape those people.”

There was some truth in what he said, and Ji Xingmian thought it was the same, so he was less worried.More than half of Feng Wuzhou's weight was on him. It wasn't very heavy, but it couldn't be ignored.

Ji Xingmian tried to push the person but couldn't move, and was pressed half-hung for a while, and finally couldn't help it: "Can't you stand up straight?"

"I'm straight or not, brother doesn't know?" Feng Wuzhou finally stood up a little bit, deliberately blowing hot air behind his ear, biting his earlobe and rubbing it between the teeth, "forgot Ask brother, are you ready to reward me?"
