Cang Ri Qing Lan

"Tell Leng Zhou not to chase after him, go pick up Yiyan and Cook..."

Instructing Xing Ye to send a message, Cang Lan had just pulled Qingling's clothes when she saw Helian Yuya rushing out from the back hall, so she could only sigh and said,

"I don't want anyone to know about Helian's being here."

"What's the problem? Just kill him."

He Lianyu's teeth answered quickly, and Qingling's steady answer was not slow,

"That's not necessarily the case. Prime Minister Helian swaggered through the market at the banquet today, and I'm afraid there are quite a few people who are suspicious."

"Except for those who secretly monitor Cang Lan's actions with ulterior motives, who would doubt it?"

Hearing Helian Yuya call Cang Lan's name directly, Qing Ling shook hands in his sleeves and said calmly,

"With ulterior motives, do you mean someone who will betray the old master?"

"What did you say? Who almost killed Cang Lan?"

"It's because I overestimated myself, so until I have enough strength, I won't make that mistake again."

Qing Ling turned to face Cang Lan, rather than speaking to He Lian Yuya, he said these words to Cang Lan.He Lianyu's teeth itch even more,

"You still imagined that he would go with you?"

"It should be Your Majesty who treats His Majesty as your own,"

Facing the anger of the red-haired man, Qingling was neither humble nor overbearing,

"What's more, I'm different from Your Excellency, and I'm a genius. If I give up hope easily, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance of surviving."

Gradually realizing that the other party was different from before, Helian Yuya squinted his eyes, and the angry look suddenly disappeared.

"I think you have lotus flowers in your mouth."

"Thanks to the praise."

When Xing Ye entered the palace, he happened to see this tit-for-tat scene, and Cang Lan actually let the two of them quarrel, he was a little dazed, Cang Lan turned his head and looked over, and said to Mi Ke outside the palace,

"Take Nioh to rest."

Helian Yuya immediately raised the corners of his mouth, put it on Cang Lan's shoulder, and looked at Qingling provocatively.

Qingling didn't move, but focused her eyes deeply and said,

"Your Majesty, please allow me to stay overnight."

No one would have expected that such a noble son would say such a thing, it would be a meal, Qingling didn't realize it, and said again,

"It's fine before His Majesty stays, as long as the father is sure that I will live up to the entrustment."

"Don't try to use this bitter trick to take the opportunity to climb into his bed."

Helian sneered, glanced at Xing Ye who had come to return to his life but couldn't get in the way, and knew even more.

"He can't wait to make out with his general, so how could he keep you overnight?"

"..."

The topic involved Yiyan, Cang Lan frowned, and finally turned her eyes to Helian Yuya, not without warning.

Helian Yuya has seen countless people by himself, so he didn't know that being aggressive would only be counterproductive, but he couldn't restrain himself, he couldn't tolerate others touching his things, let alone Cang Lan.

He himself didn't expect that he would be so attached to a person that he could surpass his ambition.

"You came all the way to Yizhou, not to meet your lover sooner, could it be for King Jing who kills him so often?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Helian regretted it. Although this can make Qing Ling uncomfortable, he shouldn't remind Cang Lan of the importance he attaches to another man.

He even hoped that this silver-haired man would never understand this until he could completely replace Yi Yan, although the more he understood Cang Lan, the more he knew that this was impossible.

Qingling couldn't help being stunned, the resolute rejection several years ago was still in his ears, but it turned out that the other party was not unable to be tempted, but just not yet?

There was no response to his questioning gaze, Cang Lan lowered her eyes, thoughtful.

The scene suddenly cooled down, and the silence was more depressing than the previous tension.

Xing Ye didn't know what Cang Lan was thinking, but he didn't want to see his frowning, and he didn't like Helian Yuya always making things difficult for Cang Lan.

"My lord, report back in the cold day, General Yi Yan has returned."

Seeing that Xing Ye intended to interrupt, Cang Lan was a little surprised, and then smiled,

"Where is the man? Let him come to see me."

"As Leng Zhou said, General Yi Yan has already arrived."

After Xing Ye finished speaking, he vaguely felt something strange.

"……when?"

Cang Lan glanced at Qing Ling subconsciously, frowned and said,

"Call Leng Zhou in."

I thought that Cang Lan would blame him for King Jing's escape, but Leng Zhou was puzzled by the question.

"When my subordinates came back from King Jing's residence, it coincided with General Yi Yan coming out of the palace."

After thinking about it, he added,

"Master Fang also had a conversation with General Yi Yan, what is the community first, and put aside personal grievances for now..."

"Did he tell Yiyan what King Jing said?"

"...The subordinates don't know..."

Startled by Cang Lan's stern tone, Leng Zhou unconsciously asked,

"What did King Jing say?"

Cang Lan paused, Qing Ling said softly,

"Your Majesty, there were only a few people on the stage at that time. Mr. Fang probably also heard the report from the beauty who accompanied him. I don't know much about it."

Cang Lan raised her eyes to look at Qingling, but found that He Lian Yuya was secretly beckoning to Mi Ke, who immediately backed away calmly.

Seeing that he noticed it, Helian Yuya sneered without blinking his eyelids,

"Misfortune comes out of your mouth. You have to let the people who serve you remember the rules. You are always too indulgent."

These words clearly mean something.

Qingling saw clearly instantly, Helian Yuya was half dealing with the restless beauty, half was targeting herself, but he was no longer the old Ye Qingling, and he remained calm.

Cang Lan was not in the mood to pay attention to the undercurrents between the two, he was vaguely uneasy,

"Where did Yiyan go?"

When Cang Lan asked this question, it took him an entire hour to get an answer. He knew how obvious his anxiety was—the three people in the palace were also silent from beginning to end—but Tu Laosan didn't know much about the current emperor. , was called back from the hotel, and when he entered the hall, he was still in a fog, grinning blankly,

"General Yiyan? Our family has seen him take a few clansmen to chase King Jing. Didn't you say that was the emperor's intention..."

It seems that Yiyan happened to catch him talking to Fang Honggeng,

"Assemble the army! Pursue Keio!"

Cang Lan hardly hesitated for a moment, and before she finished speaking, she had already stepped out of the hall.

Cang Lan turned back on his promises, Qingling was startled, seeing He Lian Yuya's expression of anticipation, only then did he believe what Helian Yuya said before, that there is really someone who can control Cang Lan today,

"Your Majesty wants to go there in person?"

It's just that that person is not him, Qingling knows it well, and the words of persuasion have turned into entreaties,

"I am familiar with the roads of Jingjing, please take me with you, Your Majesty."

No matter how bad King Jing is, Qingling's pursuit of killing his own father is by no means a good reputation.

Cang Lan stopped and turned her head, seeing the worried expression on the other party's face, vaguely the same as it was many years ago, frowned, but finally did not dismiss it.

What Fang Honggeng said, Yiyan only remembered King Jing's insult to the wolf-born - he was never afraid of making that experience public, but he was only afraid of being known by Cang Lan.

The past he deliberately concealed was exposed by King Jing in public, which became Cang Lan's shame!No wonder Cang Lan is so angry...!

He has always been prepared, Cang Lan no longer needs her one day, but... the only way to remedy it now is to follow that person's will and take King Jing's head!

Yi Yan pursues King Jing wholeheartedly, but who would have thought that Cang Lan would use the army in this way.

The allied escorting army was still nominally led by Feng Yancheng, among which [-] light cavalry were more than enough to deal with King Jing.The cavalry was very fast, but they galloped for three days, but there was no trace of the front team. It can be seen that King Jing also traveled day and night.

By the third day, the army was exhausted, and Cang Lan had to order a temporary rest.

We are about to reach the border of Jingjing soon, the large group of people is safe to lose, but there are too few people taken away by Yiyan... Lying in the simple tent, Cang Lan didn't feel sleepy, and suddenly felt that someone got into the tent .

A faint scent of incense came, and he closed his eyes without moving.

The person who came in lay down next to Cang Lan, put his arms around his waist, and groped his body through the clothes.

Cang Lan's eyebrows twitched, she grabbed the opponent's hand,

"...Helian, when will you be able to settle down?"

"You can continue to pretend to be asleep," Helian Yu grinned, and licked Cang Lan's neck, "I don't mind."

"I hope you mind..."

Cang Lan turned her head to the side, just as she was about to get up, Helian Yuya's laughter stopped, and in the darkness, she touched his face with both hands.

The other party pressed his forehead between his brows, and the fiery breath surrounded him, as if to promise something, he murmured,

"We'll catch people."

"……I know."

Cang Lan closed her eyes again, and after an unknown amount of time, Helian Yuya said in a muffled voice,

"When will you be willing to sleep, let me take advantage."

"What do you want?"

"I want to lock you up in a place where no one can find you while you're asleep, and always only see me and think about me."

"It's like something you could do."

Although it was deliberately distracting him, Cang Lan had no doubt that Helian Yuya's words came from the heart.

"Are you trying to keep me awake?"

"You couldn't sleep anyway."

He Lianyu grinned lightly, and added in his heart, at least he didn't just think about that ghost clan.

Xing Ye only left for a while, and when he returned to the tent, he immediately noticed that Cang Lan was not the only one inside. He glared at Mi Ke, without further questioning, the latter said,

"It's my master."

Mi Ke glanced at Xing Ye, after all he lacked confidence,

"...Your Majesty is not asleep."

Xing Ye didn't speak anymore, he could see that Cang Lan was worried, but he didn't know how to relieve it, it would be great if someone could do it.What he will do is to help Cang Lan catch up with King Jing as soon as possible.

All the way, he was vigilant about the situation around him. He had already noticed from some clues that Keio seemed to have temporarily changed his return route.

"My lord, King Jing also stayed here and divided into two teams."

Before dawn, Cang Lan had already ordered to break out of the camp and set out on the road.

Hearing Xing Ye's report, it was not difficult for him to come to a conclusion - this was a suspicious strategy used by King Jing when he noticed Yi Yan's pursuit, but he only cared about one thing,

"Where did Yi Yan go?"

"Judging from the creases in the vegetation, King Jing intentionally covered up the traces of the path, but there are new traces on top of it. General Yiyan should have chased the path."

Cang Lan naturally believed in Xing Ye's judgment, it was no accident that the other party could find her every time.

"Our troops are divided into two groups. His Royal Highness, you follow Helian through the official road. I will lead half of the troops..."

"You can't take the path!"

"Your Majesty, the path is too dangerous!"

Helian Yuya and Qingling spoke out almost at the same time, and their opinions were unexpectedly unanimous. They looked at each other, Helian Yuya snorted coldly, Qingling just pretended not to hear, and continued,

"From here, you have to cross the snow-capped mountain that never melts all year round. However, there is too much rain in summer and the mountain is unstable. Although it is a shortcut, it is too dangerous. There is no business in Beijing, and only businessmen choose to avoid switching points. This road. We can speed up the march and rush to the front from the official road..."

"It can't go any faster."

Cang Lan pondered for a moment, then quickly made a decision.As soon as he spoke, Helian Yuya and Qingling spoke in unison again,

"Let me together..."

"I also take the path..."

Despite her impatience, Cang Lan raised her eyebrows when she saw this situation. In a way, the two of them had a good understanding.

But now is not the time for a play,

"You can't let Feng Yancheng lead the army alone. This is a hidden danger created by you. Take care of yourself."

"Then let me go to the path!"

Helian Yuya was determined, Cang Lan looked at the other party's eager expression for a moment, and answered with a solemnity never before,

"No. I'm worried."

What are you worried about?

Are you afraid that he will have an accident, or are you afraid that he will die?

Helian Yuya didn't ask, it was obvious that Cang Lan cared about him too, but when the matter involved Yi Yan, his attitude towards him was different from before, and it even made him feel so vulnerable.

"...Take Ye Qingling away, I don't need his guidance."

Seeing Cang Lan get back on the horse, she acquiesced.Helian Yuya rode up to Cang Lan, stretched out his hand to hook his neck,

"You're right, I can't wait to get rid of anyone who gets close to you..."

Lips and tongues intertwined, Helian Yuya's words became blurred,

"...Being able to endure for you...even I find it incredible..."

Even in summer, the mountains are covered with snow, and besides the white, there is only lifeless ink.In the dense fog, it was difficult to tell the direction during the day, and it was naturally difficult to move an inch at night. No matter how urgent the army was, the army had to stop advancing.

It was cold on the mountain, and it was still bitterly cold by the campfire, but the accumulated exhaustion doubled with the severe cold.

Cang Lan almost thought she was falling asleep, when the voices she heard were far and near, as if in a dream,

"Your Majesty seems to have a cold, you must seek medical attention immediately, and you can't move forward..."

Besides Qingling's, another voice should be Xing Ye,

"If General Yiyan is not found, His Majesty will not agree to go back."

Qingling stopped, and soon said in a deep voice, unable to hide her anxiety,

"...You should know how dangerous the wind and cold will be if it is not cured..."

Xing Ye was silent for a while, just when Cang Lan thought he would not speak again, he vaguely felt a familiar aura approaching.Cang Lan only raised her lower eyelids slightly, and put her arms around her, but her limbs that were about to freeze could not tell whether it was hot or cold.

"Lord..."

Xing Ye paused for a moment, then hugged him back for the first time.

Cang Lan sighed in her heart, opened her eyes reluctantly and said,

"Don't worry, I'm not a cold, it's just a problem from the past..."

Coupled with a little lack of sleep, he saved the second half of the sentence and said in a low voice,

"Have you found any Yanyan?"

"Back to the Lord,"

Xing Ye lowered his head, just facing Shang Cang Lan's face, suddenly his whole body stiffened unnaturally,

"There are signs of several groups of people passing by one after another."

"...Is there anyone else besides Keio?"

Cang Lan finally regained consciousness,

"It can't be such a coincidence that there is a caravan passing by?"

Cang Lan's doubts are exactly Qingling's. He knew that Cang Lan would not listen to persuasion, so he couldn't help but say,

"Your Majesty...the road ahead is getting more and more dangerous. Father will take this very strange road. If you continue to pursue him, you may fall into someone else's trap."

"Who are you referring to? The prince of Jing? How sure are you that he will do it?"

"I have already disclosed to the prince that the merchant supported me to take over the position."

Qingling's face was full of cloud, in fact, he was almost sure where the extra troops came from,

"He must take some action. This time he is uncharacteristically, and he worked with me to promote the alliance with Beijing, which is the proof."

This was as expected, Cang Lan didn't move, but puffs of green smoke rose from the damp firewood, which made the not-so-busy bonfire even darker, and also deepened the shadow on his brow.

There was no words for a long time, until there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

"thunder?"

"It's thundering……"

There was a commotion in the camp, and everyone immediately understood that it was definitely not thunder.

The bang that hit the ground was like thousands of troops galloping down. Although the distance was very far, the dull and huge sound waves seemed to hit everyone's body directly.

Even people who are not familiar with the snow-capped mountains are shocked by this sound, like the giant palm of a god and Buddha across the hillside, it is an avalanche.

Cang Lan was stunned,

After a while, he sat up abruptly,

"Break camp immediately and advance overnight!"

"His Majesty……!"

Words like danger couldn't convince Cang Lan at all, Qing Ling's face turned pale, he stepped forward quickly, stopped again, and turned to look at Xing Ye.

Xing Ye didn't seem to notice it, and just said yes.

But Cang Lan became more and more restless, the continuous snow peaks spread endlessly like lingering anxiety, and the sky and the earth seemed to be boundless.

Actually, crossing the mountain is the border of the Jing Kingdom, but he did not cross the mountain.

The first ray of light at dawn fell on the hillside washed by the snow flood, leaving only a bleak and cold white.

All man-made traces on the ground were erased, and Xing Ye knew that this place was the inevitable result of the avalanche last night.

The army hurried forward, passed several broken and protruding trees, and soon found several wolf descendants in a small forest.

But Cang Lan didn't find Yi Yan among them, only the somewhat similar big guy, the previous anxiety was instantly confirmed,

"Lord Wolf God, we were going to catch up with Prince Jing last night... Big brother went to chase... and was..."

Kukeza wailed loudly, his tall body huddled up like a child, looking extraordinarily small on the snow,

"...was swept in by the avalanche!"

Cang Lan stood in front of him, as if she had already joined Ai Ai as one, and beneath that, buried those blue eyes.

The mountain wind howled, the sky was gray, and there was not even a blue sky.

Seems like never seen again...

Cang Lan looked at Kuke's face covered with tears, and for a long time, said only one sentence,

"I do not believe."

Life is like a play, but someone makes him believe that the truth is pure, and he can still be sincere for someone else.

Now, he was asked to admit the loss again?If he admits it, he will no longer know why he is still in the world.
