Proudly follow your heart

In Linnan, loess is everywhere.

The setting sun and sunset, just when the sky was getting dark, a gust of wind and sand blew by, blowing Jun Zhanran's blood-stained hem, as if raising a dark red flag, and the people behind him were still a little dazed, and would only nod along with his words.

Jun Zhanran is still the same Jun Zhanran, he just stood up from the chair. Many people have imagined him standing proudly for countless times, but no one thought that he would stand in this way at this moment. in front of them.

The pain did not leave traces on his face, only indifference, that calmness and dignity remained, even though his body was covered in blood and scars, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, it was a coldness that no one had ever seen before, proudly.

Like a sword drawn out of its sheath, from the previous restraint to the present sharpness, everything is revealed in his glance.

Looking back at Xia Guo in the distance, Jun Zhanran's eyes were slightly turbulent, only a few people could see that his mood at the moment was much more complicated than what was shown on his face.

Xia Guo, Huang De, the throne, love for the homeland, skin-to-skin hatred... Looking back and staring, the eyes slightly closed, and all the love and hatred were closed, the palms tightened, Jun Zhan smiled coldly, he Knowing that in his lifetime, he will definitely return to this place and end everything.

but not now.

"What else are you looking at? You should heal your injury first, I don't want you to go back to the wheelchair, although I don't mind being your leg." Nangong Cang Ao suddenly approached and hugged him by the waist.

"Let me down, I can already walk..." He pushed his hand away, and was about to get off the ground, but he was robbed, "How far can you go with your ghostly appearance? Do you really want me to watch you use it?" Walk on these legs?"

After the ecstasy, Nangong Cangao had calmed down, and his face was not very good-looking, "Even if I don't know medical skills, I know that I can't sit often. It's an eye opener that you can still walk with your legs! You still want to walk by yourself? !"

He couldn't help saying that he had hugged him in front of him, and he didn't shy away from it in front of so many people.

Today is different from the past, Jun Zhanran is no longer a cripple with both legs. Being manipulated by others, he feels differently. He frowned at first, but when he saw Nangong Cang Ao's gloomy face, he laughed instead, "What, Are you still blaming me for keeping this matter from you?"

"Shouldn't it be blamed?" Nangong Cangao asked back, his tone was cold, but his arms hugged him tightly, "It's not that you don't know how much I worried about you just now! It's not that you don't know how much I hope for you all this time. Find a famous doctor to heal your leg!"

"You know all this, but just now you let me know that your so-called broken legs are just a cover-up. In fact, you have been able to leave all this time. What do you want me to think?" Nangong Cangao raised his eyebrows, with a cold smile, and motioned to everyone Get on the horse, get out of here first, then put Jun Zhanran on the horse together.

Hearing their conversation vaguely, he already had a general idea of ​​what was going on, but no one interrupted.

It is no wonder that Nangong Cangao is so displeased. Jun Zhanran wanted to deceive others, but he even concealed it from his closest people and all his subordinates. He has kept it secret for so many years. With such a city and such patience, how could it not be surprising? Startled.

"You hid the death of Old General Nangong from everyone in the world. If you think about how you thought about it at the beginning, you should know my concerns. I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I really didn't dare to trust others. Later... this is not Want to give you a surprise?" Gently squeezed Nangong Cangao's arm resting on his waist, Jun Zhanran spoke softly, as if a little helpless, but his slightly restrained eyes made people around him see clues.

Nangong Cang Ao thought deeply, and said in a low voice: "I think you are not sure that you can stand up, so you didn't tell me, did you?"

Jun Zhanran remained silent, his eyebrows moved slightly, and after a while he sighed, and smiled wryly to himself: "When will your eyes not be so sharp, you can see through everything, don't I have no secrets in your eyes?" .”

"On the contrary, you are full of secrets to me. You always surprise me and frighten me when I don't expect it." It's not that I don't know the impact of Jun Zhanran's childhood experiences on him, Nangong Cang Ao didn't want to ask too much about this matter, but the more he wanted someone, the harder it was to let go of his affairs.

"If you hadn't achieved this level, you might not be able to get up, right?" Nangong Cangao whispered, and Nangong Cangao could see how much the "scaring" Jun Zhanran gave everyone had an inspiring effect on everyone, fearing that he would Repeatedly, asked in a low voice.

"Are you asking this for others, or for yourself?" Jun Zhanran didn't answer right away, he narrowed his eyes, and all he could see were weak and wounded legs. Even if they could walk, they were different from ordinary people.

Because of sitting for many years, these legs can't be recovered overnight, and may even never be recovered, at most only to the extent that they can walk, Nangong Cangao glanced over his legs, "It doesn't make any difference to me, For you, Zhanran, the difference is huge."

His tone suddenly became brisk and ambiguous, Jun Zhan suddenly raised his eyebrows, a wave of heat approached him, and then he heard a few whispers, what Nangong Cangao said in his ear was determined not to be heard by others.

"I thought you were going to say something, but a dog can't spit out ivory." Snorting and chuckling, Jun Zhanran glanced over with a look of indifference on his face, but he was a man after all, and he still felt quite To move.

"Could it be that you compare me to a dog?" Nangong Cang Ao pretended to be displeased, with a straight face.

Jun Zhanran knew that he deliberately diverted the topic, and didn't want to get tense because of the mutual concealment at this time, so he followed his words, "What's the difference, anyway, they're not human."

"Tell me, how am I not human anymore?" With both arms pulled back suddenly, Jun Zhanran's body was pushed back, and the slightly tense atmosphere suddenly changed in order to conceal each other.

Jun Zhanran didn't speak anymore, he never liked to be entangled with words, he probably liked to express it with actions, regardless of being on the horse, he turned his head back and suddenly kissed Nangong Cangao's lips.

The horse moved forward slowly, bumping slightly, and there was a damp heat between the rubbing lips. This was the heat of breathing, and it was also the breath of the living, at least they were still alive.

Of course, Jun Zhanran's leg injuries still need to be healed, but compared to being unable to walk, these injuries are nothing to him.

When his lips moved away, he breathed a sigh of relief. The horses they were riding on had already lagged behind the crowd. Jun Zhanran looked at the team ahead, "...Actually, I was really not sure at the time."

If not, why would he use stone flakes to slit his legs and injure his veins, "You are right, after sitting in a wheelchair for many years, my legs have almost been crippled by myself, if I didn't choose a day every year to take out the silver needles, After so many years, let alone leaving, I am afraid it will not be easy for me to even sit."

A thought flashed in Nangong Cang Ao's mind, "The date of death?"

As expected, Jun Zhanran nodded, mocking himself, "It's the death day."

The so-called anniversary of death was actually kept so secret, Nangong Cang Ao suddenly thought of a name, "Isn't it for the Pearl?"

"Her?" Jun Zhanran didn't seem to expect that he would bring it up at this time. Hearing the teasing in his words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a good thing you haven't forgotten the name. Mingzhu can be regarded as a way to deceive the eyes. Paying homage to her is more like paying homage to her." Huang Zhan, it’s more like trying to hide people’s eyes and ears, all I’m doing behind closed doors is taking out the silver needles on my back, so that the blood vessels and meridians can flow smoothly, so that my legs won’t really be crippled.”

Speaking of this deed, his tone was calm, and he didn't realize how unimaginable it was. If he was not careful, it would lead to catastrophe.

And even though he was very careful, when the critical moment came, he had no choice but to use such a cruel method to stimulate his legs, and finally reversed the situation at the critical moment.

At this point, Nangong Cangao has to admire. It is not the first time he has discovered this kind of perseverance in Jun Zhanran. A person who can endure and be ruthless is definitely not a thing in the pool, not to mention that he is still ruthless to himself.

Such a person, if they hadn't known each other first, and then they knew each other later, if they want to be enemies, they still don't know who will die.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Nangong Cang Ao's silence, Jun Zhanran worried that he was still unhappy.

"I was thinking, fortunately we have already known each other, and it is even more fortunate that the person Zhan Ran falls in love with is me, otherwise if you and I are enemies, I am afraid we will die forever." There is a bit of complacency between the lines, Nangong Cangao seems to be quite proud of himself The eyes feel conceited.

"Where are there so many assumptions? The fact is that you and I have already met, and you can rest assured that even if you don't come to Wulou that day, with the name of Yingshuai, I will find you sooner or later." Jun Zhanran said The meaning in the middle reveals that he has already planned.

Unexpectedly, he had already been his target, Nangong Cang Ao suddenly became interested, and asked him how he planned, but Jun Zhanran just smiled and didn't get an answer, Nangong Cang Ao tried every means to trick him along the way, but someone made up his mind Just pay attention, if you don’t say it, you really don’t know how to say it.

Linnan is the most barren country among several vassal kingdoms, with wind and sand all the way, Xia Kingdom and its neighbors have guards, and the generals guarding the pass are naturally aware of what happened in Xia Kingdom.

It's not Linnan's local affairs if they don't get to the door, and it's not their turn to take care of it. They are subordinate countries of Xia Kingdom, so why should they worry about Shangguo?

Lin Nan has always ignored world affairs, which is why Jun Zhanran and Nangong Cang Ao chose to come here. The group dispersed and rested overnight outside Xilin City in Xia Kingdom recently.

On the second day, just like when they came here, they were divided into several groups, mixed in the caravan, and entered Xilin City.

The weather in Linnan is bad, the location is remote, and the folk customs are simple. They entered the city among the caravans, and it seemed that no one was suspicious. Even the soldiers guarding the city let them go without asking much questions.

Huangde's wanted list is only posted in Xia Kingdom, so the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, let alone Jun Zhanran, who has a big secret, how can he publicize his existence everywhere, so there is no such thing as Linnan. The posting of the wanted list is also considered a good thing, saving trouble.

A group of people went to the city to find a place to rest first. On the other side, Mu Zhaoran reported everything that happened at the border with a piece of official document, including the incident of Nangong Jin. When the document reached Huangde's hands, it was already Late night after many days.

Ping Kanghuang suddenly got up in the study, staring at the writing on the paper, his face was livid.

Jun Zhanran? - He is not a cripple!
