Cang Ri Qing Lan

In the northwest of Xiaocheng, the more you go north, the fault that separates Nanhui and Dazun gradually turns into undulating mountains, and trees begin to grow and spread, forming a dense forest that is rarely visited by people.Beyond the tall mountains lies the endless grasslands of the Jing Kingdom. Within the mountains, there are towering mountains in the territory of Dalong. The rugged and winding roads in the mountains can no longer be distinguished. After the war started, the caravans, which were already scarce, also disappeared on this road. traced.

The winter here seems to come very late. The early winter has come, but the fallen leaves everywhere can’t cover the green onions all over the mountains. As night falls, the colorful colors are all hidden in black, and the stars appear with the cold air in the mountains, empty and quiet. It's a pity that no one in the group marching through the night was in the mood to pay attention to the night scene.

"Lord Ye...then go further...it will be the Jing Kingdom...the prince will really..." After several days of rushing day and night, even the weather-beaten soldiers at the border began to be overwhelmed, but the matter is so important that no one Dare to have half a word of complaint, let alone facing Qingling who is completely supported by will, they can't say anything.

"I trust the judgment of the criminal guard." After a brief silence, Qingling said.

Unexpectedly, when he got such an answer, the soldier froze for a moment, and before he could speak, Xing Ye, who had been standing in front of the queue, turned back at some point:

"Can I stop here tonight, Lord Ye."

"Stop...?"

"After entering the border of Jing country, there is no chance to set up camp." Xing Ye's hand on the hilt of his sword was tightened. "Maybe we will meet the defenders of Jing country. It is best to stop and take a rest."

"……I understand."

Moving his lower lip, Qing Ling never looked at Xing Ye's face.Apart from the necessary exchanges along the way, they hardly spoke to each other. Even so, Qing Lingneng knew clearly that he was more reluctant to stop than anyone else.

The large and small wounds on his body hadn't healed at all, but Xing Ye still stood up straight—his back straightened like a javelin, so that no one noticed his fleeting anxiety and self-blame.He should be stronger!In order to truly protect that person!But he missed it at a critical moment. Although no one would blame him, he couldn't forgive himself!Xing Ye tightened the hilt of the sword again, until the long sword was clenched so tightly that it seemed to have grown in his hand.

The campfire danced lightly, throwing Xing Ye's motionless shadow into the darkness more than ten feet away behind him. In a stone room farther away from the top of the mountain, the conversation of several people was still going on.

"Second Highness, you want me to usurp the throne for you?" Cang Lan smiled meaninglessly, as if she was talking about an unimportant matter.

"Where did you start usurping the throne?" Haoxuan Guang'an didn't blink his eyes when he said this: "The enemy is now, I just want to help the father."

"Helping him act as an agent of the government is indeed a help..." Deeply agreeing, Cang Lan rubbed the corners of his brows, his unconcealable exhaustion made him look even more casual: "I don't know what the Second Highness wants me to do?"

"You agreed?" Haoxuan Guang'an's dark gray pupils seemed to be glowing, but he can't be blamed for this, anyone who makes a person like Cang Lan submit to him will hardly not show such an expression: "As long as the emperor uncle You express your attitude in front of all the officials, and all problems will be solved."

"You want me to push you to sit on the throne?" Sighing softly, Cang Lan said, "It seems that I have no choice... However, if the Second Highness is a fool, what difference does it make to me? ?”

"Does the prince know that he is in a precarious situation?" A voice came in before Haoxuan Guang'an answered, but it was not Ling Yanghong: "The prince has made many enemies inside and outside the court. Once the peace negotiation is over, the prince may be the target of public criticism."

"General Feng Yansheng of the Northwest Garrison said so, then I really won't lose money." Cang Lan said this before looking at the middle-aged man who had been standing beside Haoxuan Guangan's seat, as if he had just discovered his existence .

"It turns out that the prince has noticed the subordinate." Feng Yancheng couldn't help but paused, the person opposite was too calm, as if he felt uncomfortable because of the indifference of seeing through everything: "It's best that the prince is willing to listen to the subordinate."

"It's hard for me to ignore the general just because the general used his sword in the scuffle a few days ago in exchange for the life of the young head of the Lingyang clan." The eyes of a person who is used to ambush prey in the dark, the "former prince" has seen Feng Yancheng No less than ten times, but he didn't realize it. No wonder this person would seek refuge with his "own" opponent, Haoxuan Guang'an. If he was still the same as before, this decision would undoubtedly make Feng Yancheng rise to the top.

The deep expression was broken, Feng Yansheng's eyes were not so much surprised as vigilance, before he could speak, Ling Yanghong had already said:

"What did you say in exchange for my life! Didn't you, Prince Yi, be in a mess in the scuffle a few days ago, and you were finally captured alive by us!" Seemingly feeling that he lacked confidence, he said again: "The one who was by your side in the end was actually a slave, It seems that there are not many people that Prince Yi can trust."

"..." A smile flashed across Cang Lan's face, a deep mockery: "If all of them are like you, Your Excellency, I'd rather not have one."

"You!" Ling Yanghong blushed in an instant: "Even if you are arrogant, Prince Yi, you are still a bereaved dog. If you don't agree to us, you will only be betrayed by everyone in the end, even Ye Qingling and Shen Haozhe who are closest to you..."

"Hong!"

With a loud drink, Ling Yanghong was startled, and immediately stopped talking. Haoxuan Guangan squinted his eyes and looked at Cang Lan:

"Lingyang's words are meaningless, please don't mind the emperor's uncle. However, Lingyang just wants to remind the emperor's uncle."

"Oh?"

Cang Lan's attitude made it impossible to guess what he was thinking, his eyes flickered, Haoxuan Guang'an decided to continue talking:

"Uncle Emperor, you were ambushed at such a delicate time, don't you really have any doubts?"

"What should I suspect? Qingling informed you that I will send him off, so that you are ready to mobilize the army to catch me?"

"Does the emperor think it's impossible?"

Cang Lan raised her eyebrows and did not speak, Haoxuan Guang'an actually did not speak, for a moment, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly tense due to the silence.As if to break the condensed air, Feng Yancheng could only hear him say slowly:

"It's true that we didn't know about it from Mr. Ye... But, does your lord know that the other team that ambushed you is from the Jing Kingdom?"

"so?"

"Lord Ye has a great relationship with Jing Guo, the prince will not forget it, will he?"

"So that's how it is." Cang Lan smiled lightly: "Qing Ling's father is from the Jing country, so he colluded with the Jing country in private?"

"It should be said that Lord Ye's father has never broken contact with Jing Guo." Feng Yansheng seemed not to see the sneer on Cang Lan's lips, and said, "At least not long ago, Jing Guo proposed to ask the prince to be the hostage to deal with Ye Dao. The National People's Congress has a relationship."

"The general is saying that Qingling is a pawn that Jingguo arranged for me? Should I believe you?" said lazily, Cang Lan seemed to be thinking but didn't seem to listen to anything.

"It's up to the prince to judge for himself," Feng Yansheng said, without changing his face: "It's just that if the lower official just wanted to separate the two of you, he wouldn't use such a clumsy reason."

"It makes sense." Cang Lan still had the same tone, even her movements didn't change, but she said the last sentence looking at Haoxuan Guang'an: "It seems that I have to believe it."

After finishing speaking, Cang Lan found that Haoxuan Guang'an could still smile, it was different from the stiff smile before, but the comfort and joy that came out from the bottom of his eyes:

"Uncle Huang shouldn't have any scruples. As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely not let Uncle Huang fall into a situation where you are surrounded by enemies."

"I seem to have gotten into this situation."

Haoxuan Guang'an was slightly stunned, because Cang Lan laughed silently again, the quiet smile made the white figure sink into the shadow almost unreal at this moment, "About what the Second Highness said just now..."

Except for those hard silver eyes:

"I reject."

The eyes of the three people in the room were all fixed on Cang Lan, absolutely astonished and suspicious... They were so astonished that they wondered if they heard it wrong.

Haoxuan Guang'an was the first to come back to his senses. He felt fooled by the answer of the person opposite him and the eyes that 'appreciated' his own reaction with interest after he finished speaking!He tried so hard to control his expression that his jaw was twitching. If Feng Yansheng hadn't opened his mouth at the right time, the mask he had maintained for many years might not be able to hang on:

"If the lord helps the Second Highness to settle down and fight against the outside world, I dare to say that the world will not have the power to compete with me. At that time, the Jing Kingdom will never have a chance to be against you. The lord should think twice..."

"I also think what the general said is very true, but," Cang Lan said casually, "I don't give him a chance, how do I know if this person will betray?"

"very good."

Before Feng Yansheng spoke again, Haoxuan Guang'an said, with a look of resentment in his eyes:

"I handed you over to Jingguo as you wished, and I also want to see...whether your years of 'love' can surpass Jingguo in his heart."

There is no interface, and the corner of Cang Lan's mouth seems to be deeply mocking again.

The dark and crude cell is more like a cave for temporary detainees. Moss grows everywhere on the damp and hard stone walls. It doesn't seem to be used much, but the cell should have all the torture tools.

"Lan...Your Highness..." The rather difficult pronunciation sounded full of concern, and the guarding soldiers secretly heaved a sigh of relief—the man locked in the corner finally stopped hitting the cell with his body when Cang Lan entered. Big sticks.

Ling Yanghong, who came in at the same time, gave Yi Yan an annoyed look, and was about to explode, when he suddenly remembered something, and his face was full of color:

"Come on, please come over and meet Prince Yi!"

"and many more……"

I only heard Feng Yansheng say to Cang Lan:

"Prince Yi... You are also a smart person, to make such a risky bet?"

"Since it's a bet, isn't it fun to play with high risks?"

His speculative eyes turned twice on Cang Lan's face, Feng Yansheng said:

"Your Highness thinks that His Highness the Second Highness is afraid to attack you? Do you know that the Second Highness wants to persuade the Highness to be wary of the heavy troops in the southwest."

"Are there other possibilities besides this?" Cang Lan rubbed her eyebrows with a low smile, paused and said, "Is the general going to tell me that His Highness the Second Highness already had other methods to control the army in the Southwest? For example... through General Shen."

Feng Yancheng was taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, Cang Lan's half-smile expression obviously angered Ling Yanghong:

"Shen Haojin has already asked His Highness the Second Highness to help him deal with you! Even if you are given a way to survive, you still don't know what to do!"

A momentary surprise appeared in Cang Lan's eyes, and he immediately realized who the owner of the name 'Shen Haojin' was - Shen Haozhe's younger brother, the boy he had almost forgotten.

"Where, I really want to learn how to pretend to be a tiger." A smile appeared on her pale face, and Cang Lan didn't look optimistic about Ling Yanghong, who had turned into a red color: "It's a pity that General Shen doesn't care about his younger brother... He will be someone who will show favoritism and even betray the imperial court."

Shen Haozhe also thought that he could not be that kind of person, or he never doubted this before getting involved with Cang Lan.

But now, Nan Hui has assembled an army again. When the soldiers approached the city, he even thought of mobilizing the army to search for a person's whereabouts.If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had unknowingly gained his inexplicable trust, he wouldn't know how to bear it.But after a few days, there was no news back, and he couldn't help but began to wonder if he had made a wrong judgment, as if he never thought that that person would fall into the hands of the enemy.

……enemy? !Shen Haozhe was taken aback by himself, since when did he actually classify those who threatened Cang Lan as his enemies?At least for the sake of Haojin, he can't...
