Proudly follow your heart

"Xiao Hu." After a while, Xiao Hu, who was waiting outside the door, finally heard the host's call, and when he pushed the door in, Nangong Cang Ao was of course gone.

Jun Zhanran was facing the window alone, as if he was still looking at the distant figure, and seemed to be meditating on something, his back was just under the dark corner, and the brocade robe, looking from behind, naturally he couldn't see the pair of eyes that couldn't be seen. The legs that landed on the ground, only the straight back can be seen, motionless, as if they have merged with the stationary objects around them.

"Put away your things." After waiting for a while, the person on the chair finally gave an order, with a flat tone that could not tell the mood at the moment, Xiao Hu stepped forward tentatively.

"Lord, what did the commander-in-chief say?" Carefully probing, Xiao Hu did not dare to conclude the content of the conversation just now.

"It's nothing to do with you, don't ask too much." Jun Zhanran turned his head to the right without showing any anger, "Nangong Cang Ao came twice to ask Luo Qian why the guards in the building didn't I didn't see anyone else, and if this goes on, I don't think the guards of the Wulou will be needed anymore, it's like nothing!"

Seeing his sneer, Xiao Hu shuddered, God, it's not that the landlord doesn't look good when he smiles, but that every time the landlord smiles like this, someone will be unlucky, this time it seems that it's Luo Qian's turn.

"Yes, I'll tell that boy Luo Qian right now." Because Ying Shuai is highly skilled in martial arts, he can come and go freely. If it were someone else, it would be so simple, Xiao Hu thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say so.

How could the landlord not know this reason, it seems that Nangong Cang Ao didn't say anything to make the landlord happy.

After packing up his things carefully, Xiao Hu was about to go out, but he held some words in his heart, and he felt sad if he didn't say them, "The landlord..."

Jun Zhanran withdrew his gaze from the vast night, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Since that Nangong Cang Ao made you unhappy, why did the landlord invite him to drink and eat? He also opened the altar of pear blossom wine. You must know that it is a treasure from Beijiang Kingdom, a treasure that is hard to find in a hundred years." Thinking of that jar. The aroma of pear blossom stuffing made Xiao Hu salivate.

"If you don't drink the wine, what's the use of keeping it?" Holding the wine cup in his hand, a few drops of pear blossom brewed in the white jade cup showed a clear luster, and Jun Zhanran casually threw it into the wooden box for putting away the dishes , "Nangong Cang Ao is not an ordinary Jiang Hu person, and he introduced me as a friend after the second meeting. Do you think he is really so good at making friends?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Hu was stunned, the figure with his back moved, and the master of the Wulou laughed a few times, "Xiao Hu, you are not young, why are you so pure in your mind."

"It's not pure, it's just that I don't want to think about it, but the landlord has already mentioned something, so I'll guess." Xiao Hu touched the beard on his chin, but he was actually very careful, "This Yingshuai is used by the court. , The landlord is also ordered by the prince to draw the beauty book, is there any connection between this?"

"It's not too stupid." Jun Zhanran nodded slightly, "No matter what he Nangong Cangao wants to do, Wulou is Wulou, if he wants to make friends, let him make them, and Wulou will give you a few jars of pear blossom stuffing. Since then, we have made good friends with the Yingxiao League, and there is nothing to lose."

"So that's what the landlord said." Actually, he understood in his heart, Xiao Hu felt a little regretful after hearing these words, "If Nangong Cang Ao really made friends with the landlord, it would be a good thing."

"Sincerely? As much sincerity as Nangong Cangao uses, I will return as much sincerity." Jun Zhanran faced the night, his voice spread in the study, like a cloud of fog that did not disperse, faintly dissolving, "Fog Lou has no shortage of friends, but also no fear of enemies."

Xiao Hu shivered inexplicably. Sometimes he felt that the host was like a bodhisattva. Except for occasional anger, he didn't see any intense emotions at other times. Sometimes, he looked like a ghost.

Measured the direction of the wind, sprinkled some poison into the wind while chatting and laughing, and dealt with the provocative people at once. At that time, they saw the landlord's sneer, and many people felt a little cold. Everyone has a few lives in their hands. At that time, I didn't know why, but I felt a chilling feeling.

It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

"It's none of your business, just put away your things and go out." As if he didn't like having one more person in the room, Jun Zhanran waved his hand, and Xiao Hu quickly took orders, "I'll go right away, by the way, the ones below People have prepared the water, please prepare to take a bath and wash up."

"Understood." Every time he went to wash up, Jun Zhanran didn't like to be served by his side, so he said it in advance, and when the servants got everything ready, they would notify them, and then there would be nothing for them.

Although his legs were weak, his hands were still usable. Looking down at his own hands, Jun Zhanran thought of what Nangong Cang Ao said when he was about to leave. He ran his fingers over the armrest and felt the dent made by his nails.

Secrets... secrets... there are so many secrets in the world, but not every secret can be revealed in the light of day.

Closing his eyes, clenching his fists tightly, Jun Zhanran punched his legs hard, his nails sank deep into his palm until blood overflowed.

The night was dark, and the fog tower was indistinct and slightly white on the top of Fuluan Mountain. On the other side of the imperial city, a fast horse quietly entered the palace, without even taking off its weapon, it went straight into the palace.

No one asked along the way, even if they didn't see the badge hanging on the man's waist, the guards in the palace would let him go, no one dared to stop, and the person on the horse didn't stop, the black shadow flashed past and scattered.

"The Yingshuai has entered the palace again! It seems that not only the emperor thinks highly of him, but also His Highness the prince!" After the fast horse galloped past, the guards at the gate whispered to each other. It was just such a little bit of fun in the long night. Several people were extremely excited.

"That's right, the second prince has been summoned several times recently!" The guard who witnessed the last summon proudly showed off his first-hand information, beckoned mysteriously, and lowered his voice, "I heard that this time the Eagle Howling League Another meritorious service, I caught a female thief who stole something, and I am about to take her back to the palace for questioning!"

"Female thief? Which female thief is so important, and she has to be brought into the palace for questioning... Could it be His Royal Highness..." He gestured and laughed, and several guards showed tacit expressions, and when they saw the leader When I came to check the post, I immediately fell silent.

In Lingyun Palace, Nangong Cang Ao got off his horse, did not untie his saber, handed over his beloved horse to his servants, and walked straight into the inner hall, where the second prince lived, several people immediately went in to report when they saw him, and went up to the pavilions along the way On the platform, lightly burn incense to heat up the air slightly, dispelling summer poisonous insects.

It is also incense, but the one in Wulou smells much better. Nangong Cangao inadvertently thought of the incense on Jun Zhanran's sleeve. Unforgettable special smell, I don't know what it is.

"The Eagle Commander is finally here!" A young man in a fine attire walked out quickly, with a jade crown on his hair. He was in his 20s, and his appearance was not particularly handsome, but his eyes were very unforgettable. Like a long cone, when he smiles, he can hardly see his pupils. This is the second prince of the Xia Dynasty——Huang Mu.

Greet him in person, so far no one has received this kind of treatment except the current emperor. The guards and court ladies all saw it, so naturally they did not dare to neglect Nangong Cangao, and saluted one after another, "Meet Yingshuai."

As a half-man of the rivers and lakes, Nangong Cang Ao was not restrained when he entered and exited the palace, he waved his hand, "Get up, it's none of your business here, step back."

The second prince didn't say anything, Nangong Cangao had already ordered, but the servants had already gotten used to it, and retreated one after another. Huang Mu didn't mind, and still had a smiling face, "I'm waiting for you, I know Yingshuai is going to Wuwu today. Lou, I will immediately ask someone to pass the letter to Feige, and give some instructions, I wonder if you will do as I said?"

"The Second Highness wants me to observe Jun Zhanran more, get closer to him, and try to get closer to him. I don't know why?" Even though he was the current prince in front of him, Nangong Cangao didn't look at him differently. Instead of answering, he asked first. over him.

Knowing that Nangong Cang Ao has always been informal, Huang Mu didn't think it was strange. If Nangong Cang Ao wasn't like this, he wouldn't be Nangong Cang Ao. I will tell you."

Huang Mu refused to speak, but the tone in his eyes was different. Nangong Cangao folded his arms, "If Your Highness refuses to say, that's fine, but I have to tell His Highness one thing first, I have been drinking with him all night. wine, but it is not certain whether he believes me, if His Highness has any plans, it is best to reveal one or two first, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what?" Huang Mu couldn't help asking, knowing that Nangong Cang Ao was rebellious, otherwise he wouldn't have left the General's Mansion and set up a separate Yingxiao League.

"Otherwise, if it goes against His Highness's wishes in the future, His Highness, don't blame me." With a raised eyebrow, Nangong Cang Ao sneered proudly, and the sun-shielding knife with its scabbard on his waist flashed coldly.

Huang Mu's face froze, but quickly turned into a big laugh, "I just want you to make more friends, Yingshuai thinks too much, that Jun Zhanran is unparalleled, I ordered him to draw a beauty book, naturally I appreciate him What's more, Yingshuai, you make friends all over the world, wouldn't it be better to have one more master of Wulou?"

"Your Highness made a mistake." Nangong Cang Ao squinted his eyes when he flicked the blade, and the sun-shielding knife buzzed, "If my Nangong wants to be friends with him, it is not because of His Highness's order, but because he is Jun Zhanran."

Amidst the buzzing of the ironware, a few words slammed into the ground, accompanied by the reverberation in the hall accompanied by the murderous aura of Zheri Knife, Huang Mu almost took half a step back, feeling terrified, thinking that this was his intention, forced a few laughs, " That's natural."
