Rong Lan

Ever since Qian Wu found out about Rong Lan's possible identity, he has been thinking for several days that there must be a secret behind this matter.

Sure enough, at dinner that day, Qian Kong, who had disappeared for a long time, came to report: "Master Shao, as soon as the shopkeeper of Yanzhuang came out of the Miaonan Palace, the King of Nan sent someone to Qianqianke to inquire about a accountant named Rong Lan. He said that his family came to look for him. According to your instructions, Uncle Pan said that Mr. Rong fell off the cliff and died of serious injuries. Those people left in a hurry without even going to the cemetery. According to my young judgment, they just went to confirm whether the person was dead. In addition, the small one also found out one thing, but the small investigation alarmed the owner of the villa, and the owner wants you to return to the village immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Okay, I see." Qian Yuchen nodded and walked down the inn lobby.

In the hall, Rong Lan was still having dinner with Silent Ye.

The closer to the south, the more accurate and timely the rumors about the Miaonan battle situation. At this moment, everyone is discussing the battle that just ended yesterday!

"Have you heard that General Zeng won a big victory in Fenghuang Gorge, beating the Miao army to the brim, and even their rather powerful general seemed to be killed there!"

"Our Great Zhou's firearms are powerful! It wasn't just the emperor's magnanimity before. After all, the southern Miao people have surrendered to the Great Zhou for 20 years. The Miao people and the Zhou people have intermarried for a long time, and they are also my citizens of the Great Zhou!"

"That's not true! Let me tell you, the emperor sent envoys south this time not because he was afraid of the Miao army, but because he didn't want to fight and hurt innocent people!"

"Snapped"!The sound of wooden chopsticks falling was drowned out by the heated discussion among the crowd. Qian Yuchen walked quickly to Rong Lan, and saw Rong Lan's face turned pale, grabbing Ye Wusheng and said: "Take me to Miaonan on horseback! Now!"

Riding a horse is more than three times faster than a carriage. If you drive overnight, you can reach Miaonan tomorrow!

"Master, you...?" Ye Wusheng was in a dilemma, because Mr. Rong's body couldn't stand the bumps on the horse's back at all.

Qian Yuchen originally wanted to find a suitable time to say goodbye to Rong Lan, but the current scene made him a little unexpected.

In a panic, Rong Lan got up and left, only to see Qian Yuchen when she turned her head and realized that she should tell this person that she was going to leave.

"Chen, you also know the identity of my elder brother. I am really worried that he will be injured on the battlefield, so I won't be able to walk with you anymore. I will definitely repay you for taking care of me these days. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you! Farewell!"

A farewell was brief and did not leave any chance for the other party to interrupt.

Ye Wusheng followed Rong Lan with his luggage, Qian Yuchen looked at Rong Lan's back that disappeared in the blink of an eye, opened his mouth, and finally did not stop him.

"Squeak! Squeak!" The little fox discarded by the owner on the dining table yelled anxiously, with its two front paws resting on the edge of the table and trembling with fear. Qian Yuchen was about to reach out to hug it, but it leaned forward and jumped down, snow-white and fluffy. His small body rolled on the ground and chased after him.

Qian Yuchen shook his head, imitating Rong Lan's usual movements and lifted it up from the ground: "Your master can't take care of you anymore, so why don't you just stay with me for two days."

The little fox raised its hind paw and scratched Qian Yuchen's hand, as if expressing its extreme dissatisfaction. After scratching twice, a horse neighed suddenly. I don't know if it was frightened by the sound or for some other reason. It stood upright. The little head looking towards the door drooped immediately.

Qian Yuchen hugged the little fox into his arms, stroked its trembling body, and said to Qianwu behind him, "Let's set off overnight, too."

In the Miaonan military camp, the night was pitch black.

The flames of the brazier outside the tent swayed for a while, Rong Xuan was lying on the couch with a bandage around his waist, and a figure flashed into the tent.

"Who?!" He put on his clothes and drew out his sword!

The person who came turned over and hid, and took off the mask: "It's me!"

Rong Xuan withdrew his sword, surprise flashed across his expressionless face, and then he showed a little sarcasm: "The princess was used by my brother once, is she here to be a lobbyist for him again tonight?"

Chongdie generously admitted: "The situation is very unfavorable to Miaonan now, you can't beat the emperor, Rong Xuan, surrender! In this way, I can still ask the emperor to keep you from killing!"

Rong Xuan's eyes were red: "Joke! Chong Yi owes my Rong family 120 seven lives. Even if I die in battle, I will never surrender to him! Please tell the princess, who will win in the end is not sure! Rong Xuan wants his blood for blood pay!"

Chongdie anxiously said: "The massacre of Rong's family was not done by the emperor! Before Mo Xuan brought people to Rong's mansion, there was already a sea of ​​fire!"

Rong Xuan said in a deep voice: "Empty talk has no proof, the princess will show evidence if she wants to excuse her brother!"

Chongdie lowered his eyes: "I have no evidence, but if it was really the emperor's doing, why would he lie to me? No matter what, Mo Xuan brought the hidden guards to the Rongfu. If someone hadn't been the first to get there, then I wouldn't be able to do it today." Yan came here to persuade you to surrender."

"Hmph!" Rong Xuan sneered: "I wouldn't believe a word of Chong Yi's words. Back then, Xiao Lan fell in love with him, and would not even take his life to defend him. Hugh planned for him! Several times of life and death! But how did he treat Xiaolan? Poisoned! Imprisoned! Even because of a meaningless rumor, he wiped out all of Xiaolan's efforts and wiped out my Rong family! Putting the huge crime of private salt on Xiaolan's head, let Xiaolan be scolded by the world! Such a treacherous person, Rong Xuan will never be fooled again, and Xiaolan will never forgive him! He forced Xiaolan to restore the country and Great Zhou is an enemy, and now he is here to persuade you to surrender, it is a big joke in the world!"

Zhongdie was clear and retorted one by one: "If your brother is really innocent, why did the Miao people control the water transportation and take away huge amounts of money from Dazhou when he was in charge of the household department?! The wars cost money like running water. It's four months since the Great Zhou started, have you ever seen your younger brother make trouble for money?"

"Let's talk about the rumors again. Brother Huang got a fake token of the Southern King from Wu Ziyun. After confronting your brother, he promised to hand over the real one on the condition that Brother Huang abolished the empress. All over the world, the army of the Great Zhou was unstable and lost to Beijue."

"If this still doesn't mean that your younger brother has the heart to restore the country, then when Xiao Rao rebelled, he took half of the Southern King's Token to instigate the southern border army. Did your younger brother tell you about this? Said that the emperor forced him to return country, but he is still feigning death, Xiao Rao has already taken back half of the territory for him, it is clearly planned for a long time!"

"He hides a lot of things from you, even persuading you to agree to marry me is just to cover up people's eyes and ears, and provide enough time for Xiao Rao's rebellion! Rong Xuan, you have been cheated by your brother and even used. You haven't noticed yet ?!"

Rong Xuan's face was expressionless: "Princess, don't bother to provoke me. Xiaolan was raised by me alone. No one knows what kind of person he is better than me."

Chongdie still refused to give up: "Rong Xuan, Brother Huang has sincere feelings for your younger brother, otherwise he would not agree to come to me as a lobbyist on a formal mission. This is the only chance given to me by Brother Huang. Listen to me." He said, as long as Miao Nan is willing to surrender, Brother Huang will keep you and your younger brother safe. Also, don’t you want to find out who the real enemy is who killed your father?”

Rong Xuan raised his sword sideways: "The Rong family has never had any grievances with anyone. The real culprit is Chong Yi, and there is no other possibility! Princess, please go back! I think you have sincerely helped to let you go. The next time we meet, Rong Xuan will not do it again." Gu Enqing!"

Chongdie covered her face again with the black scarf, her bright eyes were rippling, and the natural sternness of her eyes faded away in the mist: "Okay, I'll go!"

The envoys sent by the emperor to Miaonan were not court officials, nor princes and princes, but Princess Chongdie, the Taichang Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"Have you heard? The princess is here to recognize her husband!"

"The Rong family was caught in a fire the day before the wedding, and General Rong and the princess are left to pay homage!"

"Will General Rong surrender to Da Zhou in order to renew his relationship with the princess?"

Rong Xuan's identity was widely circulated, and what was even more widely circulated than this identity was the marriage gift that this identity once had!

The people in the Miao camp were fluctuating, but there was a wave of ups and downs. Nan Wang ordered all the envoys sent by Da Zhou to be detained, and he wanted to kill the princess!

"The two armies are fighting without killing! You will lose the morale of the army and even the people if you mess around like this!"

When Mu Shaolan learned that Rong Xuan was injured, he rushed from the palace to the barracks to visit, but Rong Xuan was shocked to hear that the princess was about to be killed, so he gave advice.

As they talked, the two actually had a big dispute over this.

"Everyone in the Chong family deserves to die! Chongdie is the younger sister of Chong Yi's mother!"

"The princess is different from Zhongyi! She shouldn't take the blame for her brother!"

"Brother won't let me kill her, is it because he likes her, is he going to marry her according to the rumors?!"

Rong Xuan was startled: "Why do you have such an idea?"

Mu Shaolan's face turned pale, and his words were sarcasm: "Chongdie sneaked into the big brother's tent last night, the lonely man and the widow are in the same room! What does the big brother think I should think?!"

Xiao Lan actually sent someone to watch him...

Rong Xuan stared blankly at Mu Shaolan, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was so familiar, yet he became very strange.

His heart hurts, Xiaolan was hurt so deeply by Chongyi, not only has a moody temperament, but now even his elder brother doesn't trust him anymore.

Rong Xuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and hugged Mu Shaolan into his arms: "Xiaolan, elder brother won't marry anyone, and elder brother will always be by your side!"

But Mu Shaolan broke away from his arms suddenly, and almost roared: "Don't call me 'Xiaolan' again! Your 'Xiaolan' is dead!! Now it is Mu Shaolan in front of you!"

Inexplicably, Rong Xuan felt as if his heart had been gouged out by a knife for an instant, and his flesh was bloody.

"Xiaolan, don't say death! Brother won't let you die!"

"Don't call me Xiaolan!!" Mu Shaolan yelled again, and pulled the sword from Rong Xuan's waist, turned around and left.

"What are you doing with your sword?"

"kill!"

Rong Xuan raised his hand and snatched back the sword, "The princess can't be killed!"

Mu Shaolan said bitterly: "No one in the Chong family deserves to be forgiven! The Rong family was destroyed by them! My father was killed by them! I want them to pay with their blood! I saw one kill one..."

"Xiao Lan!"

Mu Shaolan fell straight down before he finished speaking. Rong Xuan was shocked, hugged him in his arms, groped on Mu Shaolan's body for a while, and said anxiously: "Xiaolan, where is the antidote?! Why didn't you bring the antidote?" Medicine on me?!"

Mu Shaolan scratched his chest, his pale face became paler, but his clothes were drenched in cold sweat in the blink of an eye, but his eyes were full of stubbornness: "I won't take it! I won't take that antidote to death!"

Rong Xuan's heart sank, he ran out of the tent after hugging the man, straddled his horse and galloped towards the palace.

Along the way, the breath of the person in his arms became weaker and weaker, his body trembling uncontrollably, Rong Xuan hugged him even tighter, feeling distressed, regretful, and afraid, all emotions rushed forward!

"Xiaolan, you'll be fine! After taking the antidote, you won't be hurt anymore!"

"It's all the elder brother's fault. You came to the barracks overnight to see the elder brother, but the elder brother talked harshly to you!"

"You answer big brother, Xiaolan! Xiaolan?"

"Xiaolan...you'll be fine..."

In a hidden corner outside the camp, Rong Lan looked at Rong Xuan who was riding away from her with a man in her arms, turned around and said silently to Ye, "Let's go."

"Let's go?" Ye Wusheng was puzzled: "Master, regardless of his injury, came all the way from Hongzhou to the Miaonan military camp to find another brother. Now that he has found him, why don't you recognize him and leave without making a sound? Master Are you looking forward to celebrating the New Year with your eldest brother? The day after tomorrow will be New Year's Eve!"

Rong Lan's tone was light: "I found the wrong person, he is not my elder brother."

Ye Wusheng was surprised: "No?!"

Rong Lan nodded, "No."

He is not the Xiaolan that Rong Xuan said, no matter in heart or body.

For the hatred of killing his father and family, as well as the pain of dying when the heart attack occurs, he has nothing.

Although Chong Yi felt sorry for what he had done to the Rong family, he didn't feel the same hatred.

The heart attack never happened, and he didn't have any scars left in the game.

He had long wondered that before he was brought into the palace by Chong Yi, he was given medicine to feign death by Ying Yi, why did he really die later?

What Rong Xuan held in his arms was "Rong Lan" who escaped from feigning death, and his current body with heart disease should be his own.

He didn't know anything about Miao Nan's conspiracy to restore the country. When he heard that Miao Nannan King had ascended the throne, he was wondering if it was because besides Mi'er, the old Nan Wang had other children that he didn't know about. The man planned the restoration of the country.

But the truth is like this!

Just as he had guessed in the game, it was the original body who plotted everything before he played the role.

Without physical ties, he is not Xiaolan, nor is Rong Xuan his elder brother.

He doesn't need to disturb other people's lives.

Neither Dazhou nor Miaonan is his hometown, and he is still alone, with no relatives or care.

This conclusion did not make Rong Lan feel sad, it was just a change of time and space to live the original life.

He calmly leaned his body against Ye Wusheng: "I can't hold on for long, get out of here as soon as possible before I pass out, otherwise you and I won't be able to escape."

Ye Wusheng didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, stopped Rong Lan and jumped past the barracks.

"There's someone over there!"

"Quick! Go and have a look!"

It still alarmed the patrolling soldiers. It was not a wise decision to sneak into the barracks in the clear sky. Originally, Rong Lan thought: After finding Rong Xuan, the misunderstanding can be resolved.But right now, he only feels powerless because his recklessness will hurt others.

The horse hid behind a tall haystack, Ye Wusheng brought Rong Lanfei on the horse: "Drive!"

"They rode away!"

"There are spies! Hurry up!"

In the barracks, the horns blew low, hundreds of soldiers rode their horses and chased after him, and the cold arrows kept coming!

"I'm sorry to bother you..."

"My lord, don't blame yourself, it's Ye Wusheng's light work that doesn't help!" Ye Wusheng raised his knife to resist the rain of arrows, his tone was cold, without showing the slightest panic.

The horse was faster than when it came, and the thousand-mile horse was not comparable to ordinary war horses, and the soldiers who were chasing and suppressing were thrown far away in a blink of an eye.

Rong Lan's chest was in severe pain, and she felt that every time the horse under her body vacated and landed was a torture almost like a broken bone.

The wound was shaken to the point of gouging out the heart and piercing the lungs.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough!" He covered his mouth and couldn't help coughing anxiously. When he let go again, his palm was full of scarlet.

"Master?!" Ye Wusheng was shocked when he saw this!

Broken bones dislocated, piercing the heart and lungs!

Not even half a year...

Looking at the blood on her palm, Rong Lan leaned back weakly, slowly closed her eyes, and murmured softly: "Bury me in Mingshan...after that, you will be...free..."
