Wind and Rain Empire

The night is quiet, the moon is dark and the wind is high

In Cao Ke's mansion, Cao Ke is writing in the study. After finishing writing, he takes out a slightly larger envelope from the drawer, organizes a bunch of papers and stuffs them into the envelope

After stuffing it, Cao Ke called out

"come here"

A boy ran up

"What are your orders, sir?"

Cao Ke slipped the letter to him

"Put this away and go out, and send it to General Dingyuan's mansion. Be sure to let General Lan receive the letter in person."

"Understood, sir"

Cao Ke repeatedly urged, "General Lan must pick it up in person!"

"Understood, sir"

The boy turned and retreated

Cao Ke's inner monologue

"Hmph, the headgear here is all materials of the collusion between the Jinren and Lan Anguo. After handing it over to Lan Xueyi, she will definitely not tell the Holy Majesty any evidence against her father, and I will be able to escape the pursuit. Lan Anguo, Lan Anguo, if you hadn't dragged me into the water back then and tricked me into rebelling with you, I wouldn't have harmed your daughter today. She can defeat the assassin of the Kingdom of Jin, but I can't. So if you know the truth, don’t blame me for harming her. Fortunately, I, Cao, have a niece who is the foundation of our family in the imperial court. The safer it is..."

The boy was carrying the letter in his arms, and he ran on the road after leaving the Cao Mansion, not knowing that he was being targeted by the assassins sent by Jin Guo to monitor Cao Ke

assassin 1

"Brother, isn't that a servant of the Cao Mansion? What is he doing out in the middle of the night?"

assassin 2

"Follow him and see what this old fox wants to do."

"Um"

Blue General's Mansion

Lan Xueyi carried a jug of wine, staggered up the stairs, and knocked on the door

Seeing that the gate of General Lan's mansion was open, the young man ran up quickly, shouting

"General Blue, General Blue!"

Seeing someone calling him, Lan Xueyi stopped in his tracks, and looked back in a daze.

"Who...is calling me?"

The boy stepped forward, quickly took out the envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lan Xueyi.

"General Lan, this is a letter from Mr. Cao Kecao from our family."

Lan Xueyi took the letter and shook it

"Oh, I got it, thank you!"

The boy turned around and left from the gate of General Lan's Mansion

There are several masked assassins standing on the big tree at the door

Assassin 2 vs. Other Men in Black

"It seems that Wanyanyue's information is correct. Cao Ke really has something to do with this general. I don't know how much this general knows about the situation of our Daijin that Cao Ke has."

assassin 1

"Boss, why don't we go in and have a look, if there is an opportunity, we will kill that general"

assassin 2

"Good idea, let's go!"

Assassins leap

Lan Xueyi waved the letter and entered the yard. At this time, Wang Ma greeted her with a lantern.

"Xueyi, where have you been? Come back so late"

Lan Xueyi replied with sleepy eyes

"I went to Huamanlou with those strong men who are going to compete."

"What? Huamanlou? What are you going to compete for? Picking up girls?"

Lan Xueyi impatient

"Oh, what kind of competition is there to pick up girls? I can't tell you clearly. I just ate and drank a little wine. I didn't even touch a bite of meat. I just ate the pickles that went with the wine."

Wang Yuhe was holding a lantern and saw lip prints on Lan Xueyi's neckline

Lan Xueyi thought the lights were dazzling, so he covered his eyes with his sleeves

"Mother Wang, what are you looking at?"

Wang Yuhe is holding the collar of Lan Xueyi

"Oh! Look at this, the lipstick marks are all stuck to the clothes, look at (loosen the neckline) Do you know how difficult it is to wash off the marks?"

Lan Xueyi is always confused

"What's difficult to wash? I won't tell you anymore. You take this (put the envelope to Wang Yuhe) and I'll take a shower. Is the water ready?"

By Wang Yuhe

"Put it away, put it away, you haven't said what happened to Huamanlou yet?"

Lan Xueyi finally sobered up

"Huamanlou? It was smashed!"

Wang Yuhe was surprised

"What? Smashed it? Who did it? It wasn't you?"

"Hey, why did I smash it when I had nothing to do? It was a group of buddies I just met. They went to Huamanlou to find a good friend, and they robbed it with another group of people. When the two groups beat it, they smashed it. , so I just ate some pickles and came back before the stool was warm.”

Wang Yuhe now understands

"Oh, so, then why are you drunk?"

"We drank and ate vegetables first, and then we fought when we were drunk. Is there anything else you don't understand this time?"

Wang Yuhe muttered softly

"Isn't that stool already hot?"

Lan Xueyi asked, "Huh? What did you say?"

Wang Yuhe continued to ask

"Then where did this letter come from?"

"It was given by someone else at the door"

Looking at the thickness of the letter, Wang Yuhe became suspicious.

"It's not advertising again, is it?"

Lan Xueyi waved his hand

"I don't know, I'm going to take a shower." So he staggered into the bathroom humming a little song

At this time, Lan Xueyi was sitting quietly in the barrel, with her head resting on the rim of the barrel with loose hair, slowly recovering from the alcohol

The bathroom door opened with a "squeak" and then closed

Lan Xueyi yelled as a matter of course

"Mother Wang, pour me another bucket of hot water."

I saw a woman in yellow clothes walk past the screen, with her back turned to Lan Xueyi and let out a "shh"

Lan Xueyi feels strange

"Hey, who are you?"

Wan Yanyue turned her head

"I'm Wan Yanyue!"

She stared at the man in front of her, and asked

"Uh, who are you?"

Wanyanyue searched around in the bathroom looking for Lan Xueyi

"Hey, I clearly saw General Lan coming in, why didn't he (looking at the barrel) oh~! Is he in this barrel?"

She reached out to touch the bucket, but Lan Xueyi opened it with her hand.

Lan Xueyi asked

"Wanyanyue, are you blind? My mother is General Lan!"

Wanyanyue was puzzled, and looked at Lan Xueyi vigorously.

"What? You are? But, you are... (reacting) ah~! God! So you...you, you, you are a woman? Then you hurry up and get dressed!"

Lan Xueyi finds it funny

"Why should I wear clothes? This is my own home, I like to wear it or not!"

Wan Yanyue was so anxious that she almost jumped

"Oh, listen to me! Someone is going to kill you!"

Lan Xueyi looked at Wanyanyue

"Yes, that person is standing in front of me."

"Oh, it's not me! They're outside! Get up!"

Wanyanyue pulled up Lan Xueyi, and Lan Xueyi wrapped the clothes around her body

A few darts flew in from the bathroom window, jingling on the door, Wanyanyue and Lan Xueyi were shocked, they quickly opened the bathroom door and ran out

In the study of General Lan's Mansion

Wang Yuhe put the letter on Lan Xueyi's desk, a gust of wind blew the window open, and the letter was blown under the table, Wang Yuhe lowered his head to pick it up.One of the assassins kicked open the door of the study, and happened to see no one in the study, so he walked away

After picking up the letter, Wang Yuhe put the letter in the drawer, thought about who kicked the door, and then went to close the door and window

The two who ran out of the bathroom saw that the two guards who were supposed to be on guard at the door had been shot dead with a dart in their throats, and several assassins quickly landed beside Lan Xueyi and Wanyanyue, surrounding her. two people

One of the assassins pointed at Wan Yanyue

"Wanyanyue, you traitor, you actually came to protect the person we want to kill"

Lan Xueyi hastily defended

"Hey, are you making a mistake? She's here to kill me!"

Wanyanyue turned to Lan Xueyi

"No, I'm here to protect you"

Lan Xueyi looked at Wanyanyue in confusion

"Why? What about your promise?"

assassin yelling

"Hand over the letter quickly, and then accept death obediently!"

Wanyanyue and Lan Xueyi were back to back, she asked Lan Xueyi in a low voice

"Have you read the contents of the letter?"

Lan Xueyi stared at these assassins vigilantly.

"no"

The assassins yelled "Kill 'em!" and rushed forward

Wearing a bathrobe, Lan Xueyi rushed in front of the assassin and snatched the blade with his bare hands. He snatched a pair of daggers from the opponent and then scratched one. Then he turned around and thrust both daggers into the knees of the assassin who was about to attack, causing him so much pain. Sitting on the ground and rolling around, and after all there are many assassins, Lan Xueyi can only injure part of it, if one is not paying attention, a bloody gash will be drawn on his abdomen

When Wanyanyue and the other assassins were fighting anxiously, she was immediately distracted when she saw that Lan Xueyi was injured, and stepped forward to support Lan Xueyi

"How are you doing?"

"I... be careful!"

Lan Xueyi saw an assassin with a sword stab at Wanyanyue, kicked the assassin away, the wound on her abdomen was torn even bigger, she took a step back in pain

Wanyanyue felt distressed and helpless for some reason, with tears in her eyes, she vaguely saw a cold light appearing behind Lan Xueyi, it was an assassin, she pulled Lan Xueyi to turn around with the strength she didn't know where it came from , bumped into

With a "poof", the sharp blade pierced through Wanyan Yue's right shoulder, and the sword was drawn out again immediately.

Taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, Lan Xueyi took the sword away from him and stabbed him to death

At this time, the assassins were also dead and wounded, and there were not many left to move. Seeing this situation, the assassins who could escape also supported each other and fled. Wang Ma, who was hiding in the house, ran out at this time.

Wan Yanyue fell to the ground. Although her wounds were small, her body had already been pierced, resulting in continuous bleeding

Lan Xueyi knelt on the ground and supported Wanyanyue

"Why are you so stupid, you are obviously in the same group, why do you want to protect me?"

Wan Yanyue choked with tears and said

"Is your wound serious..."

When Lan Xueyi heard this sentence, tears welled up in his eyes

"Why are you bothering, don't care about me anymore, you have to hold on, I'm going to die by your hands, right?"

Wan Yanyue smiled wryly

"Yeah, I don't want to see you die by someone else's hands, you can only... die by my hands"

Wang Yuhe came from the house with Jinchuang medicine

"Xueyi, turn her over quickly, I'll apply medicine to her"

Wan Yanyue is weak

"No need, Wang Ma, I have almost used up that bottle of ointment, so don't waste it on me."

Wang Yuhe didn't know whether she felt sorry for the ointment or Wanyanyue, so she cried and said

"Isn't that right, this bottle is... almost gone"

Wan Yanyue slightly closed her eyes and smiled.

"General Lan, Yue'er can't kill you after she's dead, so please take care, and... (choked up) secrets can kill people, that letter, you... you, don't keep it.

Lan Xueyi hugged Wanyanyue in her arms and said

"Yue'er, you are so stupid"

Wanyanyue exhausted her last strength and whispered something in Lan Xueyi's ear. After hearing this, Lan Xueyi pursed her lips and smiled, but tears couldn't stop falling

Then Wan Yanyue, who was only 18 years old, was covered in blood but with a slight smile, and died in Lan Xueyi's arms.
