Cang Ri Qing Lan

The preparations for the long voyage have already been completed, Cang Lan stopped for a while on the island where the wolves temporarily lived, and immediately set off with the fleet.

The number of people on board was far less than Hao Lianyuya had imagined. They had sailed for more than ten days without stopping for supplies. For those who had never left land for more than a day, the ocean undoubtedly seemed to have no end, whether it was day or night. They are all in the vast waters. Even if they know that the boat is moving forward, they still doubt that they will never reach the shore.As the fleet went deeper into the northern ocean, the temperature became colder and colder, but for Hao Lianyuya, the most obvious change was that Cang Lan gradually became tired, and it seemed that the smooth sailing seemed to make him lose energy.

As soon as he stepped on the deck, he saw Cang Lan leaning on the ship's side, looking at the sea in the distance, lost in thought. The sun cast a lazy golden layer on his body, and the cozy atmosphere brought out made Hao Lianyu couldn't help but feel calm.

"You..." Knowing that there would be no answer, Hao Lianyu's jaw-dropping question turned into "What are you doing on the deck when it's so cold!"

"Basking in the sun."

"Go in."

"Master Hao Lian, are you so bored? It's only noon and you're full of thoughts..."

"Don't be too sentimental!" Hao Lianyu was stunned, and became angry from embarrassment, "It's as cold as ice, who would want to touch you!"

"It's fine if it's not," Cang Lan's gaze paused on Hao Lianyu's fangs, and she hung on her lips in a vague manner, then turned around, still speaking in an extremely relaxed and peaceful tone, "I'm about to see land."

Almost confused by Cang Lan's An Ran, he thought he was here to play with him. After a while, Hao Lianyu remembered that he should be surprised. This time was far shorter than he imagined:

"...Already arrived?!"

"According to this speed, we will probably be able to see land at night." Cang Lan's answer in a daze was somewhat specious.

"Here...you haven't reached the North Lingling area yet, you..." Standing straight and staring at the vast sea horizon in the direction of the fleet, after a moment of hesitation, Hao Lianyu asked: "What are you going to do?"

"Yeah, what should I do?"

"Don't ask me!" Sure enough, the expected answer, Hao Lianyu was furious, angry that he wanted to ask, "Don't play dumb for me!"

Hao Lianyu's teeth jumping in anger was one of Cang Lan's pastimes during the long voyage, but when she noticed that the people on the deck were listening to what was going on here, Cang Lan sighed:

"Okay, let me ask you... where is this place?"

"Beiling border." It was just a slightly conniving tone that made Hao Lianyu's teeth unable to get angry.

"It's not there yet." Cang Lan pointed forward with her chin, "This is the inner sea between Yu and Beiling."

After a pause, seeing that Hao Lianyu was listening attentively, Cang Lan waved to Ku Keza who had been looking around, motioning for him to explain.

Naturally a person who likes to join in the fun, Kukeza came over without hesitation:

"Although the sea between Beiling and Jing is vast, it is actually very narrow. If calculated by a straight line, it should be less than four hundred miles."

Touching his head, seeing Hao Lianyu's suspicion that his redundant expression had softened, he boldly continued,

"But the closest area is also the most dangerous. The wind speed is not stable, and when the ship enters the calm zone, it may encounter an undercurrent with an uncertain flow direction, and there are many shoals and reefs. If you are lucky, you may just be delayed at sea. Some days, if you are unlucky, you might not be able to go back alive, so rather than crossing this sea area, everyone prefers to take a long detour by land."

"Understand so clearly?" Hao Lianyu narrowed his eyes. Recently, his knowledge of the ocean has increased a lot compared to before, just like the terrible desert he knows well. Human beings are really insignificant compared with nature. He looked at the sky. Lan's face seemed to be able to see how arbitrary the other party could act, "Are you planning to transport troops across such a dangerous sea?"

"That's right." Cang Lan was straightforward and arbitrary, and she was obviously too lazy to explain.

"you!"

"Don't worry, I have drawn all the charts around here." Kukeza couldn't help but interjected.

Hao Lianyu heard it, but his eyes were still fixed on Cang Lan:

"You... When did you start this plan?"

"When I accidentally passed by here."

"...Where did you go these two years?"

"Everywhere."

"Don't tell me you're traveling around!"

"You're right again."

Compared with Hao Lianyu's tone of getting more and more angry when he asked more and more questions, Cang Lan was very patient when he asked questions. Ku Keza peeked at this and that, but couldn't understand why this big brother Hao Lian liked to talk to Lord Wolf God so much. Stick together, but always angry.

But Kukza was very happy to hear that the two of them were chattering one after another, because there was so little entertainment on board——

He only heard that Hao Lianyuya had given up asking about Cang Lan's whereabouts in the past two years, and he was more concerned about another matter:

"You...you should have already done the math. Even if your ship is full of people, there are no more than 2000 people at a time, and you only intend to let such a few people go to the enemy's hinterland to die."

Hearing the word 'death', Cang Lan's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, and she still said casually:

"Soldiers are expensive, aren't they?"

"It doesn't include war horses, equipment, food and supplies."

"Then how about I transport them over several times?" Cang Lan smiled, looking down at Hao Lianyu with a little laziness, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know how far the two sides are." With a sneer, Hao Lianyu didn't believe Cang Lan's words at all, "But if the distance is very short, you still need to work so hard..."

"Actually, it's not far, only four or five hundred miles." Before Hao Lianyu could finish speaking, Ku Keza took up the conversation again.

"Then it will be back and forth in one day at the earliest." I don't know when Lei Jiao also heard the lively talk here, unwilling to be lonely, he came over and added a sentence without thinking, and he knew it was another idle and flustered person people.

"No, I said that this place can't be so fast. If it goes back and forth, it will take three or four days." Kukeza said again.

"Three or four days is a bird. When our family followed the big boss to run a business by land..."

"I'm not talking about running a business now!"

When Tu Laosan came to stir up trouble, Hao Lianyuya finally interrupted the speech that was getting further and further away impatiently, naturally ignoring the stupefied appearance of the boss, he stared at Cang Lan with burning eyes and continued:

"...Being so slow here, if Beiling notices something, are you going to confront them head-on?" The tone was aggravated, and it was clear that they didn't want to be interrupted by others.

Cang Lan smiled again, this time with a bit of admiration, that smile flowed in his eyes, reflecting the sun, warm and glowing, Hao Lianyu gasped for breath, staring at Cang Lan's face without blinking .

Sensing the change in Hao Lianyu's teeth, Cang Lan's smile suddenly brought out a bit of playfulness:

"Then I can build a bridge here."

"You might as well ask King Beiling to give you his head." Not seeing the two of them flirting, Lei Jiao laughed and took the conversation, finally attracting Hao Lianyu's sharp gaze:

"Don't forget that whatever he wants to do now, you will also have a share."

So Lei Jiao's laughter stopped abruptly, and then turned into two dry laughs.

Through this lesson, Lei Jiao already knew that he couldn't imitate Kukeza and wander around begging for nothing beside the two of them. He was not as invulnerable as Kukeza.

Cang Lan finally gave the order to stop the boat when the buoy that measured the flow was no longer visible.

"It's here? Can we go ashore?" Lei Jiao was really overjoyed this time.He finally didn't have to stay on this man-only boat, and he didn't have to worry about disturbing other people's good affairs.

Fortunately, Hao Lianyuya is not always thinking of doing good things, at least he still has time to answer Lei Jiao,

"It's obviously still in the open sea, how do you go ashore?"

"It turns out that Master Hao Lian is also paying attention." Cang Lan didn't mean to explain at all, and dismissed Lei Jiao casually, "There is no need to go ashore. It will be very busy starting tomorrow, so let's rest early."

"...not sailing tonight, I thought it was finally here." Lei Jiao could only be disappointed.

"It's best not to sail at night in this sea area."

Night came again.

Compared with recent days, it has warmed up, but it is still a bitterly cold night.There is not a single star in the sky, and even the faintly visible horizon slowly sinks into blackness. In the darkness, there is only the continuous sound of the swaying sea. It seems that everything in the world is contained in it, deep and dangerous yet peaceful and serene.

It wasn't until the next day that Hao Lianyuya was sure that Cang Lan really wanted to build a bridge.It's just that this bridge is too different from what he knew. The fleet sailed all the way, lowered the boats all the way, and then spread the straw and leather tied up with ropes on the sea surface.

After four days of going like this, finally, the 'pontoon bridge' was linked to the coast.

The unmelted ice and snow on the shore made a thin layer of ice float on the water near the shore. The large and small ice blocks moved with the waves. Although it was spring, it was several times colder than the midwinter in the southern country.

After looking at the army that seemed to have assembled on the shore, and at the busy people, Lei Jiao finally couldn't help but whisper,

"Just build a pontoon bridge to let the army pass? Such a thing is too dangerous!"

"Don't ask me, I don't know what I made."

Hao Lianyu replied angrily, but looking at Cang Lan who was leaning against the side of the boat again, licking his eyes slightly, he always felt that there was something strange about him, but he couldn't see what was wrong.

After a while, he still walked over:

"I don't know what you want to do. Although this is the Northland, it is said that the sea water will not freeze."

Hearing Hao Lianyu's abrupt words, Cang Lan's half-drooped eyelashes twitched, she turned her head slightly to meet Hao Lianyu's gaze, and after a while, she casually reached out and caressed Hao Lianyu's face, "...Hao Lian, are you really Very smart, good-looking, really unique."

Hao Lianyu was stunned. He never thought that Cang Lan's words would be more abrupt than his. After being at a loss for a moment, he had already calmed down, grabbed Cang Lan's wrist and said, "I don't need you to tell me."

"If it weren't for being so restless, I would like you more."

"You..." Hao Lianyu's teeth froze again, his red eyes lit up with uncontrollable joy, "What do you mean?"

"I mean you have to be a little patient in everything you do." Cang Lan blinked narrowly, as if anticipating the other party's out of breath.

"So you like me?"

This time, Hao Lianyuya didn't seem to hear Cang Lan's teasing, and became uncharacteristically serious.On the contrary, Cang Lan was stunned and forgot to speak. Hao Lianyu looked at him carefully and stubbornly, and suddenly leaned over, touching Cang Lan's lips lightly and almost carefully:

"is this correct?"

"...It's not bad for you." After hesitating for a moment, Cang Lan still smiled, and the gesture of turning her head back to kiss seemed to be guiding and seductive, and it was also extremely gentle. Looking from the side, the two seemed to be a pair of unswerving love lovers.

But this tenderness was only for a moment, Cang Lan suddenly stopped, looked over Hao Lianyu's shoulder and looked at the person who appeared opposite at some time.

Brown curly hair, blue eyes, standing there silently, a huge white wolf also silently following behind - it looks like it was separated from another world by something, so lost sound.

A strange feeling flashed across Cang Lan's heart, but her smile did not change, and she said flatly:

"Yiyan, you're here."

"His Royal Highness Lan." Seeing Cang Lan looking over, Yi Yan quickly lowered his head, not seeing Hao Lianyu's flickering eyes, "I have brought all the troops and horses, and we can leave at any time."

"The appointed time hasn't come yet, so you don't have to be in such a hurry."

"...I wanted to arrive earlier than His Royal Highness Lan." There was frustration in Yi Yan's words.

"..." Cang Lan was silent for a while, before the subtle atmosphere of silence diffused, she said with a smile,

"You just set off without meeting me just to catch up on this little time?"

"I went to see His Royal Highness Lan the night before I left...!" He raised his head abruptly, his face was full of travel and dust, only a pair of blue eyes were so clear that people dare not look directly at him, and one could see that he was afraid at a glance. The eagerness to be misunderstood.

Unconsciously, Cang Lan opened her eyes slightly, before Cang Lan said anything, suddenly felt that Hao Lianyu's teeth were around his waist, and his head was pressed against his neck, he frowned slightly, but just said to Yi Yan:

"You must be very tired, go and rest first."

Yi Yan answered yes, ignored Hao Lianyu who was looking at him unanimously, took two steps back and looked at Cang Lan, turned and walked away.The wolf king at the side immediately followed up, nuzzled Gong Yiyan's hand, squinted his eyes quite comfortably, and enjoyed Yiyan's hand running down the hair on the back of his neck.

It wasn't until Yiyan disappeared from sight that Hao Lianyu said in a strange tone:

"There is no response. Is it because you disciplined well or this 'ghost clan' has fallen out of favor? If I remember correctly, he was two years ago..."

"Don't think that everyone wants to be my male favorite just like you."

The previous interest was gone, Cang Lan opened the hand on the waist after speaking, turned around and entered the cabin, leaving only Hao Lianyu stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became red.
