Wind and Rain Empire

Chapter 42 Heartbreak

At the posthouse in the morning, Lan Xueyi came in style, seeing that Zhang Tianyu was already waiting at the door

"It's really early for you to come"

Lan Xueyi is playing with the fan in his hand

Zhang Tianyu looked calm

"Yeah, I can't wait to see Princess Siqin, unlike someone"

Lan Xueyi nodded slightly, thinking

"Boy, you're making fun of me"

Both of them stood at the door and waited. They had a lot of inner drama with each other, but they glanced at each other inadvertently, but they had nothing to say.

Zhang Tianyu tries to break the deadlock

"Hey, General Lan, where are you planning to take the princess to play today?"

Lan Xueyi looked around at the gate of the station, kicking small stones

"Where else can I go? Just wander around in the capital city. Anyway, she has never been to the capital city before, and everything she sees is new. West Lake must go there."

"But the West Lake alone can make a big circle. The officials are really wise and gave us three days."

Lan Xueyi lowered his head and sighed

"Hey, three days..."

Zhang Tianyu teased

"Could it be possible, General, that you don't have enough time? Have you figured out how to tell the princess?"

Lan Xueyi looked up at Zhang Tianyu

"What are you talking about? About getting married?"

"That's right, otherwise what's the matter? How long can you keep it from her?"

Li Siqin's voice came from inside the door

"What are you hiding from me?"

I saw her coming slowly wearing a colored flower gauze dress, Lan Xueyi and Zhang Tianyu hurriedly bowed their hands to Li Siqin

"Meet Princess Siqin"

Li Xiaoliang also came out with Li Siqin, and he walked in front of Lan Xueyi

"Junior Brother Lan, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Lan Xueyi is smiling

"Brother, you must have recognized me"

"What? Are you brothers?"

Zhang Tianyu said in surprise

Li Xiaoliang laughed at himself

"Brother, I was confused for a while, and I didn't connect my little brother with the general of the Song Dynasty at all."

Lan Xueyi answered

"Brother, I recognized your martial arts moves immediately after seeing you. It's still the same, but the surprise is that you are the prince of Xia Kingdom."

Li Xiaoliang smiles

"Hahaha, after so many years, there must be some changes"

Zhang Tianyu thought

"Yes, yes, after all these years you don't even know that your junior brother is a woman"

Li Xiaoliang looked at Li Siqin and said to Lan Xueyi

"Go play with my little sister first, and we'll talk in detail when we get back."

"Okay, brother!"

Lan Xueyi, Li Siqin, and Zhang Tianyu left the posthouse.In the distance, Zhang Tiancheng covered his face with his sleeve and followed behind the three of them

The three of them rode their horses to the White Causeway of West Lake and got off their horses, and they led the horses for a walk together.

Lan Xueyi shook the fan in his hand

"Princess Siqin, this is the famous West Lake"

Li Siqin asked in confusion, "Is it famous? This princess has never heard of it (Looking at the scenery) But the lake and mountains are really beautiful, I like it very much! (Looking at Lan Xueyi shyly) If you marry here Maybe you can see it often when you come here?"

Lan Xueyi has no other words to describe the feeling besides embarrassment, so she doesn't make any statement

Zhang Tianyu saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he wanted to make up for it quickly

"Yes, Princess Siqin, it would be nice to marry here, what do you think, General Lan?"

So Lan Xueyi gave Zhang Tianyu a supercilious look

Li Siqin looked at Lan Xueyi and asked with a little worry.

"What's the matter? Why do you look preoccupied?"

Lan Xueyi led the horse for a few steps

"Princess Siqin, I have something to tell you."

Li Siqin walked towards Lan Xueyi, and threw the rein in Lan Xueyi's hand to Zhang Tianyu

"Then we two will talk slowly."

After saying that, he put his arms around Lan Xueyi's arm, and the two walked towards the distance

Zhang Tianyu stretched out his hand and shouted

"Hey! Where are you two going!"

Seeing that the two of them didn't even look back, Zhang Tianyu reluctantly led the horse away.

Zhang Tiancheng followed at this moment, half covering his face with his sleeves

"Brother, do you need me to help you lead the horse?"

Zhang Tianyu waved his hands, looked at the backs of the two people in front of him, and said anxiously

"Oh, you don't need it, you don't need it! Hurry up and hide aside, don't expose yourself"

"Oh, that's good, just call me when you need my help (turn around to leave, but Zhang Tianyu pulls you back)"

"Brother, please don't cover your face when you walk, can you? It will make people feel very suspicious. Take a step back, who knows you?"

"Oh, that's it, then I won't block my face"

"Look, I've been talking to you all the time. Where did they go? You should go aside quickly."

Zhang Tiancheng took a look, and hurriedly hid aside in response to "Oh, okay, okay"

Li Siqin has been holding Lan Xueyi's arm, leaning against her slightly, the two of them strolled on the Gushan Road, the gentle breeze carried a little fragrance of flowers

Li Siqin asked Lan Xueyi with a comfortable expression

"You just said you wanted to tell me something, what did you want to say?"

Lan Xueyi looked at the lake

"The next thing I want to tell the princess is about our marriage."

Li Siqin stood still and asked joyfully

"What? You agree?"

Lan Xueyi withdrew her eyes and lowered her eyes

"I didn't agree at the beginning of the next one, just... (looks at Li Siqin)"

Li Siqin waited for Lan Xueyi to finish speaking with expectant eyes

At this time, two women passed by the roadside, smiled at Lan Xueyi, then covered his face with a fan, and whispered something, Lan Xueyi also smiled back at them

Li Siqin reached out and straightened Lan Xueyi's face

"Hey, my princess is here, what do you see other people doing? Still laughing!"

Lan Xueyi pushed away Li Siqin's hand

"Princess Siqin, the two of us are really not suitable, you should find someone else to be your son-in-law."

Li Siqin's look of anticipation instantly turned into a serious face

"Is this what you want to say?"

"yes"

"No, whoever this princess decides is who she is, I won't give up easily." Li Siqin looked at Lan Xueyi with a serious face, "Then I will pursue you!"

If Lan Xueyi was drinking tea at this time, she would have sprayed it out, she packed up the emotions that were ready to laugh, and played with the fan in a guilty conscience

"Let's put it this way... I, I don't like the girls of your country of Xia!"

Li Siqin frowned

"What? You are so brave, why don't you look down on me?"

Lan Xueyi continued to talk nonsense

"I... like gentle and graceful women from the Song Dynasty. I... (stuttering) I... can't accept a woman with a rough and rough personality like you!"

Li Siqin pointed at Lan Xueyi angrily.

"Okay you! (Suppressing your temper) This princess knows, I don't want to see this West Lake anymore, take me somewhere else!"

Lan Xueyi turned around and asked

"What? You don't even look at the West Lake? Then where are you going?"

Li Siqin's eyes were filled with anger

"I want to see how you Song people live, why are men like this? Just take me to the places you often go to!"

Lan Xueyi thought about it carefully

"Where do I often go? There is no place I often go to here... (Thinking about it, I made a plan) Then let's go"

The two returned, grabbed the reins from Zhang Tianyu and rode on the horse

Zhang Tianyu looked at these two people puzzled.

"Hey, what did you two say? Why are you upset? Where are you going?"

The two started off on horseback, and Zhang Tianyu quickly got on his horse and chased after him.

Large group of people gathered around the casino and looking at the gaming tables

The casino boy yelled from time to time

"Okay, buy big and buy small, buy it and let it go!"

Zhang Tianyu grabbed Lan Xueyi's sleeve and whispered

"What? Do you come here often?"

Lan Xueyi whispered back

"How is it possible, I'm usually in the camp, how can I have time to go to the casino?"

Zhang Tianyu looked at her suspiciously

"Then can you play?"

Lan Xueyi is turning a fan

"I'm not boasting, I'm a person who wins every gamble, but today I not only have to lose, but also have to lose a little bit more."

"why?"

Lan Xueyi explained

"I lost everything and asked the princess to borrow it, and then she would be disappointed in me. Then, if you win it back for me and return it to her, you can win her favor again!"

Zhang Tianyu scratched his head in embarrassment

"You see it all?"

Lan Xueyi fanned the fan

"Do you know what it means to have a bright eye? Everyone knows about your previous portrait, and you smell like jealousy all the way. And, I also know that there has been an idiot following us (dragging towards the crowd) Come out alone) It’s because you didn’t run away, Zhang Tiancheng”

Zhang Tiancheng was very emotional at this moment

"You are so smart, Xue Yi, I admire you so much!"

Lan Xueyi gave him a white look

"I usually like to hear people praise me, but you don't need it, the words change when they come out of your mouth."

Zhang Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief at his hand

"Smell changed? What kind of smell?"

"It smells like shit!"

Zhang Tianyu tugged at Lan Xueyi and asked

"What about Princess Siqin?"

Lan Xueyi looked around, looking for Princess Siqin

"Maybe I went to find the toilet?"

Li Siqin pushed through the crowd and found Lan Xueyi

"So you are here, I can easily find you, who is this person (referring to Zhang Tiancheng)"

Zhang Tiancheng bowed his hands and saluted

"Next Zhang Tiancheng is the brother of General Zhang Tianyu Zhang"

Li Siqin glanced at Zhang Tiancheng and said "oh", then turned to Lan Xueyi

"General Lan, didn't you say this is fun? Let's play."

Li Siqin took Lan Xueyi to the gambling table

Zhang Tiancheng pouts at Zhang Tianyu

"I think this princess doesn't care about you at all."

"you do not say"

Casino boys with smiley faces

"Gentlemen, I've decided to leave! (To Lan Xueyi) Young Master, do you buy big or small?"

Lan Xueyi smiled and "buy small" and then pressed some broken silver on the word "small"

Li Siqin was puzzled and asked Lan Xueyi

"How can I buy this size?"

Lan Xueyi points to the jar of dice with a fan

"There are 3 dice in that jar, do you know what a dice is?"

"I know this"

"Well, according to the rules of the casino here, if the points of the three dice add up to more than 12 points, it is considered big, and if it does not exceed 12 points, it is considered small. Buy according to this."

Zhang Tiancheng stepped forward and explained to Li Siqin

"It means that the average number of points of each dice must be equal to or greater than 4 points to be considered big."

Li Siqin glanced at Zhang Tiancheng with disdain

"Thank you, the princess can still count this kind of math"

Zhang Tiancheng stepped back and whispered to Zhang Tianyu

"This princess doesn't seem to like me very much"

"Who told you to say so much?"

Li Siqin asked Lan Xueyi

"Then if the purchase is correct, the money will be divided equally according to the number of bettors?"

"yes"

"Then I understand"

The casino boy shakes the dice lids

"Open the lid! 2 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 5 o'clock, a total of 12 o'clock, big!"

Li Siqin knocked on the table

"Oh, it's just that close!"

Lan Xueyi said frankly

"It's ok, keep coming (put your money on "big")"

Casino boy puts the dice back in the cover and rolls the dice

"Open the lid! 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 4 o'clock, a total of 10 o'clock, small!"

Lan Xueyi was secretly happy, but pretended to be wronged and looked at Li Siqin

"Uh... I lost the bet"

Li Siqin hurriedly responded

"Do you still have money? I don't have enough money. I have it here (give money to Lan Xueyi) and continue to gamble until you win."

Lan Xueyi stared at Li Siqin with wide eyes, and asked

"you sure?"

Li Siqin said with firm eyes

"Sure! I have confidence in you!"

Lan Xueyi put all his money on "big" this time

"Open the lid! 1 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 1 o'clock, a total of 3 o'clock, small!"

Li Siqin and Lan Xueyi watched as the casino boy took the money away

Li Siqin sighed

"Hey, this time it's really light, it's clean"

Lan Xueyi pretended to be a gambling addict, and turned to Li Siqin

"Do you have anything valuable on you, take it out"

Li Siqin felt a little uncomfortable

"You still want to gamble?"

Lan Xueyi smiles, inner monologue

"That's right, I want to lose until you hate me! (to Li Siqin) Of course, what if I don't get it back?"

Li Siqin hesitated, took off the jade pendant from his waist

"This is the jade pendant my mother gave me when she was dying. Can you see if this works?"

Lan Xueyi snatched it away

"That's it!"

Li Siqin took it back

"This is mine, I'll bet on it!"

Lan Xueyi pretended to be disobedient

"I'm going to take this bet, give it to me!"

Li Siqin pouted, and gave the jade pendant to Lan Xueyi very unhappy, Lan Xueyi pressed the jade pendant on "Little"

Casino Boy: Open the lid! 3 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 5 o'clock, a total of 13 o'clock, big!

Li Siqin was so angry that she ran out of the casino gate crying, Zhang Tianyu chased her out

Lan Xueyi watched the sad Li Siqin leave, she ran two quick steps but stopped, she really wanted to chase after her to apologize and comfort Li Siqin, but she knew that if she did this, all the previous pretense would be in vain, So I can only monologue silently in my heart

"Siqin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I lost on purpose and hurt you on purpose. It's fine if you don't like me..."

Zhang Tiancheng stepped forward and looked at Lan Xueyi with a sad face

"You hurt her heart so much, do you go with your own conscience?"

"If I don't hurt her now, both of us will hurt even more in the future"

Zhang Tiancheng sighed

"Hey, Xue Yi, I don't even know what to say about you, is it hard to tell the truth?"

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"It's not hard for me, but it's hard for her"

"But the more you procrastinate, the harder it is to say it?"

Lan Xueyi immediately realized that it was Zhang Tiancheng who was teaching him a lesson.

"Hey, what qualifications do you have to educate me? It's none of your business if I say it or not? Even if I marry her, what can you do to me?"

Zhang Tiancheng stared wide-eyed, pointing at Lan Xueyi

"you!"

Lan Xueyi stared back at Zhang Tiancheng

"What are you? Go away!"

After finishing speaking, he bumped Zhang Tiancheng on the shoulder and left
