Proudly follow your heart

The words fell silent.

The night owls watching around the bow, and the ministers on the other boat, all fell silent, only the sound of the river was left for a while, and everyone looked at Nangong Cangao who suddenly appeared.

With the knife strung around his neck, Ji Nantian's face was extremely ugly, but the reason for his ugly face was not just this.

"You didn't ask first, how did King Zhan answer you?" He stared at Nangong Cang Ao. He didn't know whether to like or hate this young man.

"It's rare that you don't ask clearly, so you have to do it." Jun Zhanran on the side answered, and looked him up and down, "What's wrong with you?"

It was rare to see Nangong Cang Ao lose his composure so much, Jun Zhanran was a little puzzled.

Nangong Cang Ao's eyes were wide open, he didn't know whether it was shock or anger, his aura was frightening, the sun-shielding saber flickered red, and many people were out of breath.

"What happened?" Nangong Cang Ao didn't respond for a long time, he couldn't help asking again.

Everyone on the boat looked at the knife. They are not dull people, how could they not feel the killing intent?The knife was in Nangong Cang Ao's hand, and he looked like he wanted to kill everyone here, which made people shudder.

Nangong Cang Ao didn't withdraw the knife, but turned around, "How did you answer him?"

Standing beside him, Shu Yan suddenly understood why the leader didn't ask him the answer of Lord Jun, he wanted to ask him with his own mouth, and he wanted to hear Lou Lou's answer with his own ears.

Seeing his worry, Jun Zhanran deliberately didn't answer, "What do you think?"

At this time, he still refused to tell him the answer directly, Nangong Cangao frowned like a mountain, "Zhanran!"

"I thought you didn't care, but I didn't expect... Yingshuai would be so panic-stricken." Jun Zhanran seemed to appreciate his expression at the moment, revealing a somewhat happy expression.

"I knew you weren't an obedient person, but if you don't tell me the answer right now, don't regret what I did later—" Nangong Cangao looked straight at him, his eyes said, he Words are no joke.

Jun Zhanran put away his joking expression, and Ji Nantian suddenly said, "The two of you came together to get rid of Huang De. Now that Huang De has been eliminated, don't you feel any different from before?"

"What do you want to say?" This time it was Jun Zhanran's turn to frown.

"King Zhan, the old minister thought that you and Yingshuai have been in love for a long time. You have a common enemy. Natural friendship is different from others. Now it is different. You are really willing to—"

"Shut up!" Jun Zhanran knew what he was going to say, and his face sank, "How do I decide where it's your turn to dictate? Giving up the throne is my idea, not for him or anyone else! Ji Nantian, look Come on, you really don't understand."

He was furious, but Nangong Cang Ao felt relieved. This was Zhan Ran's answer, and this was his answer...

"Since you brought so many people here, if I don't discard one or two, you won't understand my determination—" Jun Zhanran raised his hand, and was suddenly hugged tightly.

"This is your answer!" Nangong Cangao muttered to himself, "I thought—"

He never interrupted him to fight with others, nor did he have such a big reaction because he was worried about his answer. Jun Zhanran felt something was wrong, "What happened? It's not like you to be so worried."

"I had a dream. I dreamed that you agreed to return to the palace, and then..." Nangong Cang Ao didn't want to think about it at all. After hearing this, Jun Zhanran became even more curious, "I don't know what kind of dream made the famous Eagle Shuai is so panicked?"

Turning his gloomy eyes to Ji Nantian, Nangong Cang Ao suddenly smiled thoughtfully, a dark color flashed in his smile, "This dream, maybe it's a reminder from heaven."

He let go of Jun Zhanran and walked towards Ji Nantian, "It's the heavens telling me that if you don't die, there will be endless troubles!"

The knife is as bright as electricity!The overwhelming killing intent came, Ji Nantian never imagined that Nangong Cang Ao would do it as soon as he said he would do it in front of everyone, and when he dodged, there was a loud noise behind him, and the river surged.

"Your Majesty!" "My lord!" A group of ministers panicked and called them whatever.

Jun Zhanran didn't expect, "Are you really going to kill him? If you kill him, no one will manage Daxia for me."

Nangong Cang Ao sneered.

"In the eyes of this group of people, you and I are just taking what we need. Even if there is love, it is just a momentary confusion. He wants you to return to Daxia as emperor, he wants you to set up a harem, he hopes you will leave an heir, he, He, he, and him are all waiting for you to become a generation of Mingjun, and to add officials and ranks to them..."

The tip of the knife pointed at the ministers on the ship one by one. He used to not care what others thought of them, "There is no need to explain to others between you and me, but until now, if they are left to speculate wildly, they still don't know How much trouble will there be in the future?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Say you are mine, say that I will not give you freedom, and let you decide whether to stay or not. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that I, Nangong Cangao, acted indulgently and recklessly. This statement is not bad. Now I tell you, you must stay. By my side, you must also smile every time by my side, if they force you to be the emperor, I will destroy Daxia! In this way, it will be over once and for all, let's see who wants you to be the emperor!"

He put away his free and easy face, showing a serious smile that was not a smile, like a joke, but also clearly full of threats, everyone on the boat wanted to shake their heads except Jun Zhanran.

What not to explain to others, what to allow others to speculate wildly, these two people have already told the world about their relationship with words and deeds, if there are still people who question why they are together, it can only be said that those people do not understand these two people at all temper.

Jun Zhanran sighed, "It's really nonsense."

"Don't like it?" He turned around.

"What do you think?" Still asking this question, Jun Zhanran deliberately refused to let him get what he wanted, and refused to give an answer.

Beneath the superficial indifference, he would have some bad thoughts from time to time, always tormenting people intentionally or unintentionally, but Nangong Cangao liked it very much. Doesn't this just show that he is no longer controlled by the haze in his heart? .

The two of them acted as if no one was there, but Ji Nantian was full of worries. He thought that even if the two of them missed each other, it was more or less for others to see.

A person like Jun Zhanran will never act recklessly, but he often does not care about the eyes of others, and behaves intimately with Nangong Cang Ao in front of others. This is not intentional to make people believe that they have a strong relationship. What else could be the reason?

The closer the cooperative relationship between them, the more fearful Huang De would be, so Ji Nantian always thought that even if there was affection between the two, it would not be to the point where one cannot be separated from the other.

It was precisely because of this that when all the dust settled, he came to see Jun Zhanran again. He thought that there would be a different answer this time, after all, the matter had passed.

But didn't expect...

Ji Nantian suddenly realized that maybe he was wrong from the beginning.

Even if they are indeed doing it for people to see, it is not the fake show he thought, but the real show and fake show, using everything available, isn't it the way King Zhan always does things?Even if it's his personal affair, if it works, then just use it.

"I'm getting old, I can't see what's going on, I didn't expect King Zhan to have such deep affection for Nangong Cang Ao, he doesn't want the throne and he doesn't want heirs, the old minister always has a glimmer of hope, the Great Xia royal family will not end, now It seems..." Ji Nantian sighed, regretting in his heart, he should not have let King Zhan leave at the enthronement ceremony.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see his remorse. Nangong Cangao squinted his eyes and seemed to have something to say, but Jun Zhanran opened his mouth first, obviously very impatient, "If you want me to say it a few times, it's not because I don't sit on the throne he."

"It's not for him, who else could it be for?" Ji Nantian stayed far away from Nangong Cang Ao.

"Even ordinary people know that there is a saying that people should not be killed for themselves. I don't want the throne, but it is for myself." He seemed to be explaining to Ji Nantian, but his eyes never left Nangong Cangao.

He was talking to him, he was explaining to him that he didn't want the throne because he didn't care about him, he was saying that he didn't want him to feel guilty about it.Looking at Jun Zhanran, Nangong Cang Ao even softened the harsh look in his eagle eyes.

"Xia Guo belongs to my Huang family, it's true, but I'm no longer Huang Zhan, why should I be responsible for Daxia's community?" Jun Zhanran turned back and asked Ji Nantian, which was a matter of course.

Ji Nantian was stunned and opened his mouth to speak. Jun Zhanran raised his hand and said directly: "Since the day when I was living in the rivers and lakes, I am no longer a member of the royal family. Recapturing Daxia is for myself and for the common people." Now, I have recovered the blood debt of the year, and saved Daxia from being destroyed in Huangde's hands, Daxia no longer owes me, and I don't owe Daxia either."

"Don't forget that you are the son of Emperor Yongsheng after all!" Ji Nantian was helpless.

"Of course I am, but I think that my father is in the spirit of the sky, so I don't want to see Da Xia destroyed because of me." When he said that Da Xia would be destroyed, he still had a calm expression on his face.

Pointing at Nangong Cang Ao with one hand, "If I become emperor, he will ruin Xia Kingdom at all costs."

"Even so, do you still insist on my enthronement?" He turned his eyes and looked at Ji Nantian with a secretive look.

Nangong Cang Ao put away the knife long ago, stood there with his arms folded, without saying anything, but no one dared to categorically refute that he would not do that, at least Ji Nantian didn't dare to bet on this possibility.Everyone present, and no one dared to take this sentence as a joke.

Ji Nantian looked at Jun Zhanran as if he had never known him before. Is he still the Jun Zhanran who is obsessed with revenge?

Jun Zhanran didn't care what he thought, "Ji Nantian, I said long ago that Huangde died that year, but none of you would believe it." He spoke slowly, looking around slowly, from one by one The minister looked over his face one by one.

"I said that revenge is for myself, not for the throne. Huangde doesn't believe it. I said that I want to kill Huangde for myself, not for Xia Guo. You don't believe it either. Now that things have happened, do you all feel that you have misunderstood?" People?" He laughed, mockingly.

"If it hadn't been for that year, maybe I would have been enthroned as emperor, worrying about the country and the people, and be a good emperor, but unfortunately, there is no if." He took a deep breath against the wind of the river.

"From now on, I, Jun Zhanran, will only live for myself!"

Standing by the river, the river wind blows his clothes, his figure seems to fly away, everyone is watching, but he doesn't know how to speak.

Ji Nantian wanted to scold him for not thinking about Daxia, but he couldn't get his words out.

The blood feud back then, and the responsibilities later, as the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, Jun Zhanran had to bear too much, but no one thought that he would seriously abandon everything. After saying such a thing, he is the only remaining royal family of the Xia Kingdom ah!

Someone clapped their hands and laughed, "What a life for yourself! Even if you are accused of being selfish, Daxia never gave you favors, but asked you to be responsible for Daxia Sheji. How can there be such a reason! There will always be someone to sit on this throne, it's a big deal You and I travel all the way to find a crown prince for the Xia Kingdom!"

When Nangong Cangao said many things, it seemed that they would become easier. Jun Zhanran readily agreed, "From your point of view, I will not choose the wrong person. When the time comes, I will adopt him as an adopted son. What do you think?"

"It's a good idea, let's celebrate with wine!" Nangong Cang Ao waved his hand and called Xiao Hu, "Bring wine!"

Xiao Hu quickly moved to Lihua Niang, the two toasted and exchanged glasses, and greeted Ye Xiao, Xiao Hu, Luo Qian and the others to drink together, and looked at the ministers on the other boat dumbfounded.

This is seeing off guests, Ji Nantian understands that this trip is probably a waste of time.

I can't help but think that if there hadn't been the palace chaos back then, if Jun Zhanran hadn't been disheartened by the actions of his close relatives, perhaps his actions would not be so extreme.

However, if there was no chaos in the palace that year, would there be Jun Zhanran like before?

If he can become the emperor, I don't know what kind of astonishing appearance the Great Xia will become in the future... "It's a pity—" Ji Nantian returned to his boat and only said these three words.

In a short time, I am afraid that he will be the monarch of Daxia until a new crown prince is found.

"What dream did you have?" Jun Zhanran still couldn't figure out what could make Nangong Cangao so nervous.

The man who was supposed to answer his question kept looking at the knife in his hand. The sun-shielding knife was shining in the dark, and the strange red light was faintly visible. He suddenly raised his voice: "Ji Nantian, don't forget one thing—"

When Ji Nantian turned his head, Nangong Cang Ao's eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Rinnan."

Ji Nantian's old face twitched. The poison that King Linan'an Jia was poisoned was caused by him. Although it was for Jun Zhanran, once the people of Linnan knew the truth, how long could the current peace be maintained? !

The current king of Xia Kingdom is the culprit who poisoned King Rinnan, this incident is enough to cause another disturbance in the peaceful world!

He threatened to destroy Daxia, it really wasn't a joke.

Ji Nantian never underestimated Nangong Cang Ao, but now he has to reconsider.

Sighing and smiling wryly, he knelt down at the bow of the boat and kowtowed from a distance, "Old minister—waiting for good news from you two."

"What did you dream about?" After Ji Nantian left, Jun Zhanran asked, Nangong Cangao looked at the knife in his hand, "I dreamed of something that could never come true, and I will never allow it to happen."

He was vague, but Jun Zhanran guessed a bit, "Are you also afraid?"

"It's about you, how can I not be afraid." He stroked the blade and chuckled, "I didn't realize it, but it knew it."

shade the sun.

Jun Zhanran took it over, "Zhiri, oh Zheri, can you really read people's hearts?" He asked like a joke.

A dark light lit up the blade, and he suddenly felt a heat in his hand, and an indescribable feeling surged in his chest. In just a short moment, it seemed that Nangong Cangao when he was a boy appeared in front of his eyes.

His love and hatred, his wanton freedom, his killing intent and possession buried in his heart, all the intense, calm, once-spoken and never-speaking emotions rushed to him in an instant.

It was as strong as fire, swallowing him up in an instant.

With a release of the palm, a bright red light flashed across the sun and fell into Nangong Cangao's hands, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jun Zhanran closed his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

Even on the day when the long-cherished wish was tasted and the revenge was rewarded, Jun Zhanran, who did not shed tears, suddenly had water in the corner of his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "I will not fight for the emperor, let alone let you fight to the death for the Great Xia!" , there will never be such a day!"

"It's just a dream." Nangong Cang Ao was stunned. Although he found it incredible, Jun Zhanran seemed to have seen his dream.

"Fortunately so."

He looked at the river side by side with him, "It has already been agreed, life and death are shared, no matter whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, this agreement will not change."

"I believe Zhanran will not break the contract." With a chuckle, Nangong Cang Ao approached his ear and kissed him.

At this time, another boat came on the river, yelling from a distance, not just a gang on the waterway, the tone was arrogant, "Where is the gang, didn't you see that the Feilong Gang is here, why don't you give way to our gang leader!"

Jun Zhanran stopped Xiao Hu from coming forward, and waved his palm lightly without answering.

The river actually started to flow against the current, pushing the boat far away. The people on the boat were stunned. Nangong Cang Ao called out, "I didn't expect Zhanran's skill to improve again."

Zhan Ran?Ghost Hand Wushuang Jun Zhanran?That is... the Great Xia's...

I never expected to meet a legendary character here. A group of people from the rivers and lakes looked at the boat crossing the river from a distance, and completely forgot how to react.

There was someone beside him standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and that one, could it be, "Eagle Commander?!"

"Lord, I still have some wine, do you want to bring it up?" Xiao Hu didn't look at them at all, Jun Zhanran nodded, he got the order to bring up the wine jar, and after a while he brought the piano.

The water vapor is like fog, and in the mist, only the sound of the piano and the sound of talking and laughing from the boat can be heard.

Unknowingly, the boat has gone away, and everyone in the rivers and lakes is still in a dream.

Amidst the mist, there was only a faint red light flickering secretly.

It is just a knife, the soul of the knife is like a mirror.

Whether it is a fairy or a demon depends on people's hearts.

How can a knife be ruthless if the heart is affectionate?

"It's a good knife."

"The sword is good, and the person who wields the sword is even better. Don't misunderstand Zhan Ran."

"How can I be wrong, from the beginning to the end, there is only one person."

"Who is it?" Someone asked knowingly.

"He's right in front of me."

The dark eyes stared, and the two palms were once again clenched together.
