Gold Ingot suddenly drew his sword, He Lancong saw it and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Gange gritted his teeth, and said bitterly, "I want to destroy the Beicang Dragon Vein, and I want to destroy Yuan Wenjing's country. He has imposed so much pain on you, and I want him to pay for it!"

Gange raised his knife to chop, He Lancong supported his wrist, shook his head, "No."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" He said in a hurry, "You were beaten to death by him and humiliated, why do you still want to protect his dragon veins?"

"Listen to me." He Lancong pulled Gange aside with all his might, and pushed him down on a box to sit down.

He Lancong said: "If you say hate, I hate him more than you. I wish I could pick out his bones, eat his flesh, and drink his blood. But I'm telling you now, this dragon vein must never be destroyed."

"Why? Hey!" Gange punched his thigh, and he didn't understand why his elder brother wanted to protect his dragon veins after being insulted by Emperor Beicang.

"Because, as long as Yuan Wenjing is still the lord of Beicang, the eldest sister can survive. You don't know that the treasure house of the dragon veins in Beicang was originally just a legend, and no one knew it was true. But those ministers believed that the former emperor of Beicang took the dragon veins The key to the treasury was given to Eldest Sister, so those ministers with ulterior motives predicted Eldest Sister’s death, took the key, opened the treasury, and seized the Yuan Clan’s country. If Yuan Wenjing hadn’t secretly protected her all these years, Eldest Sister would have died a long time ago.”

"But isn't the key in your hand?" What kind of messed up thing was this, and he became confused at once.

"Oh, this is a coincidence."

After explaining the process of obtaining the key to the treasure house, Gange sighed, "If Emperor Beicang knew, he would never hang this thing on you."

He Lancong said seriously: "There is such a kind of person in this world who doesn't pay attention to the rare treasures, but only seeks the only love in his life. Gu Mingzhou, the number one talent in Beicang back then, was such a person, so this thing, he will even Don’t even look at it, just throw it there.”

Gange turned around, patted his forehead with his hand, and said in a good mood: "Forget it, for the sake of eldest sister, I will spare this Emperor Beicang. But—"

Gange deliberately stopped, He Lancong was stunned, "But what?"

Gange closed his eyes and moved his face closer, "Isn't it too much to give a reward?"

Well?Knowing what Gange wanted, He Lancong blushed, "You were not like this in the past, how did you become, become..." The next words, I really can't go on, this Gange is famous for its strict military management, and he is unsmiling. frivolous.

Gange looked disappointed and waved his hands, "Forget it, it's not hard for you."

After resting for a while, the two continued to search for the exit mechanism. Finally, He Lancong found a crescent-shaped depression in the same shape as the treasure house key at the longan of the dragon vein.Put the jade pendant in, and the mechanism will start immediately. The smooth stone wall behind the dragon veins is staggered by a gap, allowing one person to pass through.

Put away the jade pendant, and cross the stone crack, the outside is still a cave, but you can already feel the whistling wind, it seems that you are near the exit.Here, there is another crescent depression next to the cave wall. He Lancong put the jade pendant in again, and the stone gap disappeared.

This time, He Lancong walked in front, and he heard Gange behind him say, "Well, this gold is of good quality."

Um?He Lancong turned his head, "What did you say?" Looking into his hands, he almost laughed out loud, then he took a few gold ingots out, and he was distinguishing the fineness.

Being looked at by He Lancong, he was a little embarrassed to fight, and said with a sneer, "Emperor Bei Cang treated you so well, let him take a few ingots of gold as compensation."

He Lancong's eyebrows almost twitched in one place, this fight was really different in the past, what changed him?

52. The choice of fighting...

He Lancong and Gange walked along the cave, feeling that the mountain wind was getting stronger and stronger. When the light penetrated into the cave, the exit was in front of them.

"What is this place?" Standing at the entrance of the cave, He Lancong wondered, this is still Longshou Mountain, why is there rice field at the foot of the mountain?

Gange came over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing, "I've been making trouble for a long time, and the exit is this ghost place."

"Well, what are you talking about?"

Gange was still laughing, making He Lancong grin, thinking he was going crazy.Later, he rubbed his waist and said, "I came to Longshou Mountain to stay here. It's not cold here in winter, and I specialize in growing fragrant rice for tribute."

He Lancong said: "It's not cold in winter, it seems that it has something to do with the hot spring. However, the emperor let the farmers live near the hunting ground, which is quite courageous."

Gange said: "I asked the farmers here, and they said that the Lord of Beicang is still diligent in government affairs and considerate of the people, so most of the people are unwilling to make trouble. The Longshou Mountain hunting ground is right next to it, and the emperor is still here Look at the people here. Look at that lake, I heard it is called Fairy Lake, and the former emperor of Bei Cang often went fishing there. I never imagined that in the end, the exit actually leads here, and it is delivered directly to the door of the house.”

"Fairy Lake." He Lancong whispered, the place where the former Emperor Bei Cang took his eldest sister to go fishing.

When he arrived at the farmhouse where Gange was relying on, He Lancong saw his black horse at a glance, and said happily, "You brought the black pearl too!"

"Brother, it's not called Black Pearl, it's called Black Smoke."

He Lancong went over, stroked the mane of the horse with his hand, and said, "It's really ugly."

"Hey, who is this official?"

In the low thatched house, a woman with a blue floral cloth towel covering her head and a coarse floral skirt looked curiously at the embarrassingly dressed Imperial Army in front of her, and asked the same ragged man next to him to fight.

Gange smiled awkwardly, and said: "Sister-in-law, this is my elder brother, who is on duty in the Imperial Army. When I went to find him, I didn't want to encounter wolves in the mountains, so, so, I can't explain it. Please, sister-in-law, get me something to eat. Grateful."

The woman had a down-to-earth smile on her face, "It's easy to say, you go inside to rest, and I'll get it right away. It just so happens that the head of the house is coming back soon, and you will sit down and have a drink together later."

He Lancong cupped her fists, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The woman waved her hand, "Go and rest."

Gange let He Lancong to the thatched hut he borrowed, took out his clothes and handed them to him, He Lancong hesitated and took it.Gange knew that even if they had skin-to-skin relationship, he promised to stay with him, but in the end he still forced him first, and it would take some time for him to truly accept it from the bottom of his heart.As a man, he became the favorite of the monarch of the enemy country and lost his dignity. Now even if he wanted to treat him kindly in every possible way, he might not be able to heal his wounds in a day or two. Let's take one step at a time.

With this kind of thinking, Gange returned to his old seriousness, and no longer pretended to be frivolous just to make He Lancong smile.

In the evening, the man in charge of this farmer came back with his son. The rough man was not surprised by the number of people in the family, so he asked his son to get wine, pulled the table here, and asked his wife to serve food.

A table of simple farm dishes, with the fragrance of returning to nature, made the mouths of the two hungry cats who hadn't eaten for a long time drool.

"Haha, haven't you eaten in the mountains these few days? Come, come, sit down, eat, and fill your stomach first." The dark man handed the wooden chopsticks to their hands, but he didn't move the chopsticks himself. , It seems to be the son who is waiting to go out to drink.

Seeing that they were really hungry for a long time, the man wolfed down and laughed, "Slow down, don't eat in such a hurry."

The man's voice just fell, and the two of them, who had no scruples about their images, stopped in shame. The man was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had said something he shouldn't have said, which made the guests unhappy, and hurriedly said: "If you are hungry, eat Right. We farmers are not good at talking, so don’t mind. I’m just afraid that if you eat too fast, you will accumulate food and it will be uncomfortable.”

He Lancong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother, we didn't mean that. You're right, it's not good to eat too fast."

Hearing this, the man was relieved, lit the candle, and then said: "We farmers, we can't go out a few times in our life, and we haven't seen any big scenes. This mouth is stupid. Where there is any offense, let's wait and see." Please be considerate. Oh. Forget it, Tianerniang, quickly serve the yellow rice porridge and let them taste it."

He Lancong saw that this man was warm and hospitable, and responded with a smile, secretly thinking that this man must be a warm-hearted person on weekdays.

Two bowls of golden-yellow rice porridge were brought up, and now, who is particularly sensitive to yellow, almost laughed out loud.

"How is it, how does it taste?" the man asked with a smile.

He Lancong said: "It's very good, it's very sticky, and the aroma of corn will whet your appetite."

The man said: "This is freshly cracked yellow rice. We are reluctant to eat it at home on weekdays. Only visitors take it out to make porridge. It can be seen that you are not from ordinary people. You can eat what we poor people eat." Things also gave us a lot of face, haha."

He Lancong smiled elegantly, "Where, eating the food here will make you feel back to basics."

The meal was very late, Gange and Hanzi drank a lot of wine, He Lancong was by the side, but because he was not feeling well, he had a rest early.

The drinker was still knocking on the blue flower bowl, the farmer's son went to bed after eating, and the woman mended the torn clothes of her husband under the lamp, turning her head from time to time to see her husband who was still drinking happily, showing a gentle smile.

The moon climbed up little by little, and sprinkled the silvery moonlight on the earth. It was an ordinary small farmyard in the north. At this moment, the host was still fighting wine with the guests who lived in his house.The paper-pasted windows unreservedly reflected the two people's heroic enthusiasm for fighting wine on the simple wooden windows...

The next day, after a high-pitched rooster crow, the sun broke through the lingering mist in the mountains from the east, and jumped out mischievously, carrying infinite vitality.As the sun rises in the east, the mist drifts away, gradually revealing the true face of the undulating mountains shrouded in thick mist.unknown bird
