Proudly follow your heart

"I picked it by hand in the garden. The weather is sweltering, so it's good to go to get rid of the heat." No one informed, just walked in, black clothes scattered leaning against the door frame, Nangong Cang Ao still held a jar of wine in his hand, slapped it away, Immediately, the aroma of wine overflowed, "Xu Donglin wants to invite you to a dinner party, so I have advanced our appointment. In short, we agreed to have a drink with you. It's the same anytime."

Xiao Hu went down to tidy up his things, and he wasn't around to wait. There was only one person in the spacious hall. The smell of wine and flowers was in the air. Jun Zhanran took a deep breath and waved his sleeves politely, "Please sit down."

It was noon and the sun was in full bloom, when Nangong Cang Ao approached, there was a wave of heat flowing, Jun Zhanran was sitting on the chair, probably a little tired, leaning slightly on the soft cushion, the thin blanket on his lap had been removed Open, look relaxed.

At this moment, he should be in a good mood, Nangong Cang Ao pushed the unopened wine jar to him, and he also slapped the seal, no one spoke first, just started drinking like that.

Lin Qiuyan's death had nothing to do with Jun Zhanran, he didn't care, he found the Blood Jade Linglong, and he didn't ask what it was, Nangong Cangao looked at him while drinking, as if he didn't know, he was just drinking.

The two drink together, neither of them has a wine cup in their hands, just sitting on the wine jar, one is by the window, the other is sitting upright, the two of them are facing each other, they are not in a hurry, but they don't know when they will get up. The atmosphere of drinking gradually changed, gradually becoming more competitive.

No matter how much he drank, Jun Zhanran's expression didn't change a bit, while Nangong Cangao loosened his clothes and sat leaning on the window sill, reeking of alcohol, even more mad. When Shuyan brought someone in with a food box, he saw This scene, can not help but stop.

"Leader... this dish..." Didn't he ask him to bring the food and wine?But this dish has just been delivered, why is the wine about to bottom out?

"Leave it alone." Wiping the wine stains on his lips, Nangong Cang Ao went to look at Jun Zhanran, and he also put down the wine jar. Most of the wine went down, but there was still no change on his face, but there was a little sweat on his forehead, and the smell of alcohol rose. Sitting posture is also relaxed, even more lazy.

"After drinking the wine, it's better to eat vegetables." Putting down the wine jar, he seemed to have no intention of continuing the competition, and the result was meaningless.

"Okay, let's eat the vegetables." Raising the chopsticks, Nangong Cang Ao ate while still keeping his eyes on Jun Zhanran, as if he wanted to say something.

Shu Yan backed out, seeing the two of them eating and drinking, Xiao Hu was obedient and never came in, the room was very quiet, no one put the Luoli flowers into the vase, and the long branches and leaves were just placed on the table, faintly exuding delicate fragrance.

The atmosphere of silence continued to brew while eating and drinking, until the meal was over, Nangong Cang Ao suddenly said, "How is your friendship with Huang Mu?"

He didn't want to ask anything else, but the prince. Jun Zhanran paused with the chopsticks in his hand, "He asked me to draw a beauty book, that's all. I don't know what this has to do with your Yingshuai?"

"That day when I went to Fuluan Mountain, the prince Feige sent a letter asking me to have a close relationship with you." Without warning, Nangong Cang Ao suddenly said such a sentence.

Jun Zhanran raised his head, "Oh?"

It's just one word, that's all, but Nangong Cangao seems to have made up his mind to see his reaction, "Huang Mu once said that the reason for my deep friendship with you is for the treasures in your building, do you believe it or not?"

"What does it matter if you believe it or not? What does it have to do with me in Wulou? You tell me this now because you want me to know that the prince ordered you to make friends with me?" I don't know if he thought of the "secret" revealed by Nangong Cang Ao that day, his complexion became even more ugly.

Seeing him angry, Nangong Cangao raised his eyebrows and raised his glass, "Do you know how I answered that day?"

Knowing that Jun Zhanran would not answer, he drank the wine himself and put the empty glass back on the table, "If I want to be your friend, it will not be because of someone's order, but because you are Jun Zhanran."

His voice was clear and undisturbed, as if he was real, with a smile in his eyes, and he was extremely frank. If he didn't know that he was called Yingshuai, Jun Zhan would definitely regard him as an upright hero, but he has 72 Yexiao men under his command. Since he can be regarded as a royal secret agent, how much chivalry can he have?

"So, should I thank Ying Shuai for looking up to me?" With a slight smile, Jun Zhanran lifted the wine cup to the sky as a toast to him.

"You don't believe me?" Nangong Cang Ao suddenly leaned in front of him, "You don't believe me." He sized him up, the smell of alcohol drifting off his body, "You don't believe me, it's only natural, I just want to say today, I don't believe you either .”

The last sentence was like a stone falling into a spring, Jun Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, clapped his hands together, "Today, you finally told the truth!"

He was really surprised and admired, "Although I don't believe you, but I want to say that Yingshuai is Yingshuai after all, and Nangong Cangao is Nangong Cangao!"

It was the first time I saw Jun Zhanran laughing, it wasn't the treacherous smile of asking him if he dared to drink poisoned wine when meeting him for the first time, nor the sneer of indifference and sarcasm, this laughter was so hearty that Nangong Cangao also laughed out loud .

"I have already said that I have been investigating the case for a long time, and I am quite accurate in judging people. Although I can't say anything special now, I believe that there must be something strange about you." To deal with extraordinary people, it is necessary to use extraordinary means. Nangong Cangao assisted the case He raised his head, eyes filled with light, "Prince Huang Mu wants me to make friends with you, not just for some rare treasures, he wants you to draw a beauty book, and it's not just because he loves beauties, those women , I came to your Wulou for another purpose, am I right?"

Bending down, approaching suddenly, a pair of sharp eyes met Shangjun Zhanran's, and a breath that cannot be ignored suddenly invaded as Nangong Cangao approached, "Is there anything the prince wants here? Or... What does the royal family want?"

The voice was almost in a whisper, revealing a faint danger, Nangong Cangao was standing beside him at this moment, Jun Zhanran's eyes narrowed slightly, an empty lamp was held in his hand, his expression was faint, and his smile was also faint, "I Isn't it something you should check if there is something that other people want?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he put down the wine cup, "If something gets lost in the future, I will ask you Yingshuai to help me. The Yingshuai must not forget to find it for me."

Their eyes met, the smiles of both of them had meanings, Xiao Hu opened the door and came in, "The landlord..."

The two people in the room turned their heads at the same time, only to see Xiao Hu standing at the door with a stiff expression, he hesitated to speak, looked embarrassed, and finally coughed lightly, "I guess the host is almost used, I'm here to collect things."

After Xiao Hu finished speaking in a low voice, he lowered his head and put away his things, then pushed the door out sneakily, and did not forget to close the door again. The scene inside the door was beyond his expectation. Their host was leaning on the cushion of the seat. Holding the armrest with one hand, leaning over to the side, whispering, it seems quite intimate.

The Xia Dynasty has always had a masculine style, but it was a private hobby of some high-ranking officials. Although some wealthy families also had male favorites, those male favorites were just smeared and awkward characters, completely different from the two people in the room. Yingshuai Nangong Cang Ao is well-known, and he often has some flamboyant names, so he won't be called a prodigal son, but there are not a few rich officials and female heroes who don't think about food and drink because of him.

Yingshuai should not have that kind of hobby, and the landlord is not a masculine person. Xiao Hu just saw the intimacy between the two people in the room, and he couldn't help thinking wildly. After thinking about it, he knew it must be a misunderstanding, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing at himself thinking too much .

Inside the door, Jun Zhanran shook his head when he saw Xiao Hu's behavior like this, "It's becoming more and more unruly."

While talking, he realized that Nangong Cang Ao's breath was close at hand, and the smell of wine and flowers wafted from his body. The smell of flowers did not match his appearance, but the strange thing was that it was very harmonious and not obtrusive.

Looking at each other, Nangong Cangao backed away, and poured the remaining wine in the jar into his and Jun Zhanran's respective glasses, "The last few glasses, let's drink, come—"

Instead of talking about the matter just now, Jun Zhanran accepted the invitation with a toast, breaking the surface, knowing that each other didn't trust each other so much, but there was no scruples between actions, these few glasses of wine were actually more enjoyable than the original one.

"One matter is one matter, no matter what you and Huang Mu are, you helped me find the Blood Jade Linglong, and I will toast you again." The last two glasses of wine were poured into the cup, Nangong Cang Ao did not deny it, except for some doubts, He admired Jun Zhanran very much, and he didn't hide it.

Jun Zhanran drank the wine in one gulp, and heard him mention Blood Jade Linglong, "Since that thing is so important, you have to keep it safe this time, if you lose it again, I won't help you."

I said this with a smile, half leaning on the back of the wheelchair, leaning on my body, the heat was rising, Jun Zhanran loosened his clothes, and the feeling of laziness was even worse. Maybe it was because he had been sitting for a long time. The handrail moved, Nangong Cang Ao saw this, but took another cushion, and stepped forward to help him put it behind his waist.

"This exquisite blood jade is a decoration that the Holy Majesty always keeps at hand. It was originally inlaid with gold and stone, but it came loose unintentionally, and also scratched the blood jade inside. Xu Taiwei was ordered to take it to repair, but he didn't want to be favored by his side. Ji stole it, and now he retrieved it, he had hidden the stone long ago, if he lost it again, he would lose his head."

Putting down the empty cup with a sneer, there was not a single drop of wine left in the wine jar, the dishes on the table had been removed long ago, only the few fallen flowers on the corner of the table were still exuding the fragrance of flowers, Nangong Cang Ao brought it casually, as if He said casually, "Although this Blood Jade Linglong has been recovered, it is no longer the original Blood Jade Linglong."

"What do you mean?" If Xu Donglin heard this, he would be shocked, but Jun Zhanran was only slightly interested, "Could it be that the jade is fake?"

"The jade is not fake, but Xu Donglin has never discovered that it is no longer the original Yu Linglong." Maybe he wanted to find someone to talk about the case, Nangong Cang Ao held a flower branch, and his deep voice revealed a mysterious feeling in the quiet room. smell.
