Yangcheng

Lu Jian held Lan Wan in his arms, and under the escort of the remnants of the defeated general and the guidance of Lan Wan all the way, he finally got rid of the pursuers and joined a group of Lan family troops wearing black armor.

Seeing her family, Lan Wan breathed a sigh of relief, patted Lu Jian's arm and said, "Reinforcements have arrived, we are safe, Ce."

During the whole process of escaping from the siege, Lu Jian hugged her very tightly, almost tightly around her body, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest.

Lan Wan's bones ached from being held by her, but she also enjoyed it very much.

Of course she knew that her wife was not an emotional person.

For so many years, Lu Jian's love for her has been very introverted, but when life and death are at stake, Lu Jian is willing to sacrifice her life for her safety.

In the process of fleeing just now, Lan Wan was worried and sweet, and it was completely urgent and exciting bloody carnival.

Now that she was safe, she didn't want Lu Jian to continue to be nervous, so she held her around her wrist and gently relieved, "I'm fine, I'm well protected by you."

Such a touch made Lan Wan suddenly startled.

Lu Jian's hands were surprisingly cold.

"A Ce?" Lan Wan wanted to see Lu Jian's condition, but she couldn't turn around because of her hug.

Lu Jian didn't answer her either.

The surrounding soldiers got off their horses and walked under Lan Wan's horse. They didn't know what they saw. They looked at each other in blank dismay without saying a word. It seemed that something unspeakable happened to Lan Wan and Lu Jian.

Lan Wan panicked from head to toe, but she didn't dare to struggle too hard, for fear of hurting Lu Jian.

"Lan Shangshu." A female deputy general of the Lu family came forward and said, "Can we pick you up?"

Lan Wan, who was always sharp-tongued and eloquent, suddenly couldn't make up her mind and couldn't answer.

The female deputy general acquiesced, and together with a group of female soldiers took them down.

Lu Jian finally let go, and was hugged by everyone and lay on his side in the grass covered by clothes.

As soon as Lan Wan turned her head, she saw an arrow sticking out of Lu Jian's back.

Lan Wan recognized it. This arrow was made by the Lan family. It was a small and inconspicuous arrow among the tens of millions of luggage secretly hoarded over the years.

Tang Jianwei...

Lan Wan remembered that when they left the North-South Alley, she looked back and saw Tang Jianwei leading the bow in the chaos.

It was her, she actually shot Ah Ce.

Lan Wan was on the verge of falling, and knelt down in front of Lu Jian.

"A Ce, Ah Ce, can you hear my voice..." Lan Wan held Lu Jian's cold hand, and the gradually setting sun spread over Lu Jian's pale face, forming a particularly absurd, Lan Wan A scene that Wan never imagined.

Lu Jian struggled to open her eyes, and the overjoyed Lan Wan didn't notice that the veteran soldiers around her who had seen many casualties did not show any joy like her.

They only need to take a look to understand that this arrow is completely a deadly arrow, shot at the most fatal position.

"A Ce! Look at me!" Lan Wan held Lu Jian's hand, took off her clothes and hugged her, trying to warm her abnormally cold body quickly.

"Arrow, can I take it?" Lan Wan asked the people around, "Can I take it out here?"

No one answered her question.

A circle of people looked at her like this, with pity in their eyes.

Lan Wan was about to get angry when Lu Jian said to her, "A Rou, I have a few words to tell you."

Lan Wan said "good" several times, and before she could speak, the people around her consciously stayed away for more than ten steps, watching the movement in the surrounding woods vigilantly to protect their safety.

Just as Lu Jian was about to speak, she suddenly coughed repeatedly and arched her back, which seemed to be in great pain and could not be stretched.

"Stop talking, why are you here? Tell me, I'll take you back, what can I say after your injury recovers..." Lan Wan's voice couldn't be softer, she held Lu Jian in her arms, her mouth What I said on the Internet was comforting words, but my tears were completely uncontrollable.

Lu Jianyi gently wiped away her tears as always, smiled and said, "Let me tell you now. You must know that I am not blaming you. I always support you in everything you do, and I don't want you to be disappointed." , I don’t want you to be bound, I don’t want you to feel that I and you are not of the same mind. What’s more, I’m afraid that you think I don’t love you. Don’t talk about you, even I can’t tolerate myself who makes you sad. But..."

Lu Jian thought of something, and his brows and eyes were full of compassion:

"That cat, you shouldn't be killed...I should have held you back."

Lan Wan's expression froze, she knew what Lu Jian was referring to.

Even after so many years, Lu Jian did not forget that day.

Lan Wan couldn't forget either.

The day Lan Wan killed the kitten Chu Qi, she had just met with Lan Kan and was heading back to Lu Mansion.

"Brother said that we must do this." Lan Wan has always been high-spirited, and when she was rarely disappointed or upset, she raised her head, looked at Lu Jian who was sitting opposite her, and said in a voice that could not be lowered, "He has already Starting to choose the baggage? The hiding place, it may be in the southeast, or it may be in Fengzhou."

Lu Jian nodded lightly, as if she was not surprised, she had already thought that Lan Kan would come to this point.

Lu Jian said: "As early as the death of Mrs. Zhuang, there was no turning back for him."

Lan Wan said in a muffled voice, "It's not just him, even me, and even the entire Lan family has no turning back."

Lan Wan and Lu Jian got married smoothly, and after giving birth to their daughter, their happy life made her a lot more peaceful. She felt that she had won the world, and there was nothing in this world worth fighting for.

She thinks so, but her clan has even greater ambitions.

Her surname is Lan, and she is an important pillar of the Lan family's lineage. She was granted the protection of the clan and became an official at a young age. She lives in a mansion in the best part of Boling where every inch of land is expensive.

Wealth, glory, power...

All of this was given to her by the "Lan family". She could not betray her clan, nor did she need to.

Once the Lan clan falls, with Lan Kan's heinous crime, it is impossible for anyone in the entire Bolinglan clan to be able to keep his head.

Lan Wan said: "I have seen Wei Xi a few times, she is silent and restrained, she is a very forbearing person. If we can't kill her now, the Lan family will be in danger when the Wei family regains the imperial power... ..."

Holding Lu Jian's hand, looking into her eyes? There are obvious tears: "If I knew this, why would you marry me?"

Lu Jian smiled and said, "Why, in your heart? Am I that thin lover who can share weal and woe?"

"I didn't mean that, I just..."

Lu Jian took her words over: "I know you are worried about my safety. Can we get married with you? We won it with great difficulty, so don't talk about frustration in the future. Instead of worrying, you should think about the future. The road. The struggle with the Tian family will not be overnight, it will be a long battle."

Lan Wan deeply agreed: "Our generation may not be able to see the dawn of victory. Only when Ah Xing's generation can take over the building of the Lan family, can we bring down the Tian Family."

Today, when Lan Kan called Lan Wan, he told her about the future layout, and he had already cultivated her as the most powerful core force of the clan.

Lan Kan placed a heavy burden on the entire Lan clan, like a rope hanging high in the sky.

He drove his brothers and sisters to walk up the rope with their families. Lan Wan could only bring up all his energy to move forward, and could not take a wrong step, denying that the only thing waiting for them was to fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.

The future is unclear, and Ah Xing is mentioned, even Lan Wan, who has always been strong and courageous, can't help feeling disappointed.

"Ah Xing is still too cowardly." Lan Wan said melancholy, "She only worked hard to satisfy us. In her bones, she lacked the aggressiveness to win over herself, and her mind was elsewhere. In the long run, she will not be able to support the Lan family. Great cause. In fact, she is somewhat similar to me when I was a child."

Lu Jian seldom heard Lan Wan mention her when she was a child, and she seldom mentioned Ye Niang, as if it was a taboo, and she didn't like it.

It was rare for Lan Wan to take the initiative, and Lu Jian looked at her intently.

Lan Wan acquiesced for a moment, and did not continue the topic, but smiled at Lu Jian: "Don't worry, A-Xin will leave it to me. She is me and? Your child will definitely become what we both look forward to. .”

But on that day, Lu Jian clearly remembered that day, Lan Wan, who was full of melancholy, came home and found that A Xing had secretly raised a cat, which made her furious.

This is strictly forbidden by Lan Wan.

In Lanwan's view, cute pets can do nothing but make people cowardly. If you save a cat today, you won't be able to kill a cat tomorrow.

Lan Wan never felt that she had done something wrong? What, she was brought up like this, and she was made into a heart of stone like this.

Even if all the people in Boling call her a "demon girl" and think she is a "traitor", so what?Didn't she also have the love of her life, and didn't she have a smooth official career?

She can do it, and so can her daughter.

So she killed the obtrusive cat and punished Xing.

She wants her daughter to understand that the children in their family should not be soft-hearted, and should not be willing to be inferior to others.The fate of the Lan family and the Lu family are closely related, and her Lu Lan heart must become the pillar of the clan and compete with the Tian family.

Not to mention that after the change of dynasties, she still needs to rely on her to keep the country, Fuze Bandai——

After all, apart from letting the country change hands, there is only one dead end left.

Now that Lan Wan was pushed onto this single-plank bridge by Lan Kan, she had to bite the bullet and walk steadily across it.

However, at the last moment, Lu Jian told her, "You shouldn't".

"You shouldn't have killed that cat... Not everyone is as strong as you, able to bear the heavy experience... Sorry, I shouldn't say this at this time, and I am not against any previous decisions Regret. I just..." Even at this moment, Lu Jian's tone of voice was calm, and his mood was still stable, but the speed of his speech was a little urgent.

"I just feel that I'm useless, I can't give you what you want? I can't, I can't raise Xing well."

Lan Wan tightly held Lu Jian's increasingly weak and heavy hand, and desperately pressed it to her face, trying to use the temperature on her face to warm Lu Jian.

"How can you blame yourself? How good you are no one but me can..."

Lan Wan spoke halfway, but stopped abruptly.

Lu Jian closed her eyes, and there was a line of tears that would not fall.

Lan Wan is so familiar with everything about Lu Jian, she is so familiar with every slight change.

She could tell that Lu Jian at this time was different from anything she had ever seen before.

Lan Wan hugged Lu Jian, put her arms behind her, and carefully avoided the arrow.

"A Ce?" Lan Wan couldn't believe it, and called out many times, but Lu Jian didn't respond to her, and just lied in her arms like this, just like every night they used to be warm and loving each other.But this time, Lu Jian would never wake up again.

Lan Wan locked her tightly, and no one could separate them.

This life will never be separated.

The surrounding soldiers turned around and quietly wiped away their tears.

No one dared to disturb Lan Wan.

Thinking that she would never be able to speak to Ah Ce again in this life, Lan Wan felt that her heart had been torn apart, crushed, and her heart was in pain.

Ah Ce and I can only go so far in this life?

With tears in her eyes, she saw the arrow behind Lu Jian.

All the heartbrokenness that spread out gathered like a gust of wind when they saw the arrow that took everything away from her, and quickly fermented into overwhelming hatred.

"The Lan family army obeys orders."

Lan Wan still kept embracing Lu Jian, her hoarse voice sounded like she had regained some sense, but when all the soldiers surrounded her, she heard an unexpected sentence.

"Whether men, women, old or young are in Boling City, all will be slaughtered. Pass my words to all the soldiers of the Lan family army."

When Lan Wan said this, her emotions were very flat, as if she was talking about an innocuous little plan.

Those who heard it were stunned, and no one moved for a while.

Lan Wan didn't hear the reply, she turned her head and glared at the leading general.

The military order is like a mountain, he can't violate it, he can only follow the order.

Lan Wan kept more than 20 elites by her side. She didn't let anyone touch Lu Jian's body. She carried her into the carriage by herself, helped her tidy up her messy hair, touched her face with a smile and said:

"I will let the entire Boling be buried with you. I will destroy the Wei Clan's Ancestral Temple and kill all the people in the Wei Clan and Tang Clan. Ah Ce, please watch carefully."

"Gong Yu...Gong Yu?! Is it you!"

Panting for breath, Ge Xunqing managed to climb up the tower, and saw two people piled on top of each other, one of them was still Shi Ruzhuo.

Shi Ruzhuo looked at the sky without blinking, Ge Xunqing was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating.

"Yangguang." Shi Ruzhuo said, "Lu Lan's heart is dead."

Still talking, not dead...

Only then did Ge Xunqing feel a little more relieved, and after thinking back on her words, she realized another terrible thing. With an "ah", she stepped forward to look, and found that the person lying on top of Shi Ruzhuo was indeed Lv Lanxin. .

Ge Xunqing wanted to ask "how did he die", but she found that Shi Ruzhuo's expression was not quite right, there were tears on his face, his hair was scattered in a pool of blood, and a large part of his leather cap was also stained red with blood.

One hand is still on Lu Lanxin's back? It's like a hug gesture.

"Are you injured?" Ge Xunqing bent down and asked worriedly, "Can you stand up?"

Shi Ruzhuo's eyes were empty, and he blinked: "I'm fine."

"That's good...the tower is about to collapse, and you have to go now, otherwise you should be fine after a while."

Ge Xunqing was halfway through speaking, when someone shouted from the tower: "That lady! Can you see the signal flags waving from other towers?!"

It was General Changsun who was asking the question. It was with the assistance of General Changsun that Ge Xunqing and the Congregation of the Road Guard Sect beat a large group of horse thieves to the ground just now.

Ge Xunqing raised his eyes and saw it, but couldn't understand what it meant, so he gestured to General Changsun on the ground according to the gourd painting.

General Changsun saw that something was wrong: "There are thieves at the east gate, and we need immediate support!"

Ge Xunqing was taken aback by the content of her gesture after gesturing: "Is the east gate also broken?!"

General Changsun had already rode his horse for more than ten paces, turned his head and said: "You will only know after you have seen it!"

Ge Xunqing was also going to go to the east gate immediately, but he was worried about Shi Ruzhuo.

Shi Ruzhuo supported Lu Lan's heart and got up: "I will go too."

"But, you, can you do it?"

"I'm fine, this blood belongs to Lu Lan's heart."

"Did she protect you?"

Shi Ruzhuo nodded.

"Alright, then I'll carry her down and find a good place to bury her."

Shi Ruzhuo said: "No need, I will recite it."

Seeing that the tower was crumbling, she had to leave as soon as possible. Ge Xunqing didn't argue with Shi Ruzhuo anymore, so she let her recite it if she wanted to.

The steps leading to the ground from the tower platform had been destroyed badly. Shi Ruzhuo and Ge Xunqing were carrying each other on their backs, and managed to transport Lu Lan's heart down.

Shi Ruzhuo handed over Lu Lanxin to the subordinates of the Privy Council and asked her to send him back to Shifu.

With her hair tied up, when she picked up a sword on the ground, an old man in a white robe ran over hurriedly behind her.

Ge Xunqing was familiar with this person's attire. He was a prophet of the Omo sect, but not one of the Road Guard sect. She was very familiar with all the prophets of the Road Guard sect.

Ge Xunqing didn't know that this prophet was the one who, under Lu Jian's coercion and lure, lied to the entire fire holding sect and promoted Lan Wan to the position of god?

This person is a believer in the God of the Heavenly Clan Fa. Because of lying and forging the identity of the God, he has been in trouble for many days and nights. If he can't find an exit, he may die of depression.

"Apostle Fan." The prophet politely bowed to Ge Xunqing with an anxious face, but he didn't have time to wait for her to return the salute, so he immediately followed up, "I have something important to tell Apostle Fan. In the entire city of Boling, whether the people are alive or not, I ask all the apostles to listen to my words!"
