across mountains and seas

The wind and snow were blowing, and there was only a piece of snow in the world.

Jing Lan drove Liuxi to the west gate of Donglin City. Jing Lan wanted to call loudly to the guards on the tower to open the gate, but she subconsciously looked into her arms.

Liu Xi closed her eyes tightly, as if she was soundly asleep.

Jing Lan held back her words and looked up at the top of the city.

Uncle Jing Jiu looked down the city with a torch and exclaimed, "Young master..."

"Hush!" Jing Lan quickly made a silent gesture.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

The army went out in mighty force, but only three came back. Uncle Jing Jiu was really uneasy, especially when he saw the blood on Jing Lan and Liu Xi.

"What's the matter?" Uncle Jing Jiu asked in a low voice.

Jing Lan shook her head with a smile, carefully carried Liu Xi off the horse, and said in a low voice, "I won, Uncle Jiu, don't be afraid."

"Young Madam is injured again?" Uncle Jing Jiu began to worry about Liu Xi.

Jing Lan shook her head, "No problem." As she spoke, she turned her face to Jing Tan and smiled, "Second brother, let's go back to the government office."

Jing Tan frowned and reminded Jing Lan, "I'm going to find a carriage. There are so many people in the city, it's not good to see it."

"I haven't performed the coronation ceremony yet, I'm still a child." Jing Lan replied bluntly, her tone darkened, "I will punish anyone who chews their tongues."

The light from the torch reflected on Jing Lan's face, the blood stains on her face were still there, which set off a faint murderous look on her face.

Jing Tan had been worried about Liu Xi before, flying horses followed him all the way, but he didn't pay much attention to Jing Lan.Looking closer now, how could Jing Lan still be the noisy young man playing with his childish nature in the past?

The childishness is gone, and the eyebrows and eyes are more and more similar to the deceased elder brother.

"The third brother will come back with the army later, I will take my sister-in-law back to the government office first." After Jing Lan finished speaking in a low voice, she walked towards the government office with Liu Xi on her back.

The world is like this, the more you cover it up, the more it will come true.

Explain too much, but it will only increase the discussion.

Jing Tan sighed softly, thinking to himself that he was worrying too much, he looked left and right, but didn't catch up right away, "Uncle Jiu, is there an umbrella here?"

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "Second Young Master, wait a moment, I'll bring it for you."

"Okay." Jing Tan replied.

At this moment, Liu Xi on Jing Lan's back opened her eyes quietly, and said with a low laugh, "Now you're calling yourself a child again?"

Jing Lan held back her smile, pretending to be serious, "Aren't you the same, are you not pretending to be asleep now?"

Liu Xi tightened her grip on Jing Lan's neck, and whispered in her ear, "Can you sleep tonight?" Her voice was slightly lazy, like gravel by the sea in the evening, hoarse and warm.

Jing Lan thought about it carefully, and answered truthfully: "I can't sleep."

Liu Xi comforted with complicated emotions: "Actually...you don't have to take it seriously."

"Liuxi!" The smile on Jing Lan's face disappeared suddenly, and she stopped suddenly.

Liu Xi kept silent nervously.

"I'm not provoking you if you want..." Jing Lan was halfway through her words when she heard footsteps behind her. She swallowed what she wanted to say and looked back.

It turned out that Jing Tan chased up with a paper umbrella to cover Liuxi and Jing Lan from the snow.

Liu Xi closed her eyes and rested on Jing Lan's shoulder, as if she had never woken up.

Jing Tan said seriously: "It's snowing heavily, it's better for us to go back to the government office together."

Jing Lan knew what the second brother was worried about, and the two of them sent Liu Xi back together, which was indeed much better than her sending Liu Xi back alone.

Jing Lan nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Speechless all the way.

Shen Jiangli helped the military doctors prepare the wound medicine, and waited for Liuxi to come back at the gate of the government office.

It was not easy to see Liu Xi came back, but the snow fur was stained with a lot of blood.

After she saw it, she rushed forward anxiously, "Xiao, Wu?" She gave Jing Lan a fierce look, as if she was questioning her.

Jing Lan said softly: "She's fine, the blood stains are from my blood-stained armor." After speaking, she walked into the gate of the mansion with Liu Xi on her back, and went straight to her usual room.

Shen Jiangli glanced at Jing Tan, Jing Tan smiled and said, "Sister Shen, don't worry, sister-in-law is really fine." Then, he handed the paper umbrella in his hand to Shen Jiangli, "Xiao Wu said that her foot hurt again. Now, sister Lao Chen will take good care of her."

Shen Jiangli raised his eyebrows when he heard the words "the foot hurt again", took the paper umbrella angrily, and chased after Jing Lan.

This time, my sister will suffer a great crime!

After Jing Tan watched the three walk away, he sighed softly, and Jing Lan's stern face under the city gate once again appeared in his mind.

Xiao Wu has indeed changed a lot.

He should be pleased.

Jing Tan frowned, feeling a sense of humiliation inexplicably in his heart.

He is just the adopted son of the Donghai family...

Jing Tan didn't dare to think about this idea any further, he shook his head, probably because he thought too much.After the death of the eldest brother, in terms of age, he is considered the eldest brother of the Dongjing family, and the fifth brother has grown up, so he should do something to impress his sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, even though he was worried about his sister-in-law's foot injury, Jing Tan still held back.

He remembered his sister-in-law said that the fifth brother was the most dangerous bait, and the third brother was the hardest thing to do. Now that he has come to Donglin City, he should do some serious things that elder brothers should do.

He looked up at the sky, then hurried to the west city gate.

Here Jing Lan walked into the room with Liu Xi on her back, gently put Liu Xi down, and sat on the couch with her support.

"Alan..." Liu Xi suddenly grabbed Jing Lan's shoulder armor, she knew that Jing Lan was really annoyed.

Jing Lan covered her hand and exerted a little force, "Whoever provokes me, don't try to escape."

Liu Xi's eyes lit up, and she looked at her tenderly, "Really?"

"If you take me as a child, then you don't have to take it seriously." Jing Lan shot back coldly, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Jiangli quickly following in, "Sister Shen, help me take care of Liuxi, don't let her go any further." mess."

"For, you!" Shen Jiangli gave Jing Lan a hard look, and worriedly squatted down beside Liu Xi, ready to inspect Liu Xi's ankle.

Liu Xi pressed her hand and gave her a wink.

Shen Jiangli blinked, and soon understood.

Jing Lan coughed twice, and glanced at Liu Xi with a displeased expression, "If you can't sleep..." Then, she walked to the pillow, picked up the cold iron knife she was going to give to Liu Xi, and held it with both hands. Putting it beside Liu Xi, "Can you taste it for me, how is this knife cast?" After finishing speaking, she glanced sideways at the sky, "I still have a lot of things to do tonight, so I'm leaving."

"Slow!" Liu Xi whispered with a smile.

Jing Lan stopped in her tracks, "Say it."

Liu Xi smiled and asked, "Keep your name."

"Shuying." After Jing Lan finished answering, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she added a little domineeringly, "It can only be called this name, Shuying of Dark Fragrance and Shuying."

Liu Xi couldn't help laughing.

Jing Lan felt her cheeks burn, and didn't dare to stay here any longer. After closing the door with her own hands, she quickly left.

Liu Xi put the cold iron knife on her lap, and gently stroked the plum blossom on the scabbard with her fingertips. There was a trace of shyness in her triumphant smile, and she murmured, "I didn't say I didn't like it..."

"Sister, sister?" Shen Jiangli forced his head into Liu Xi's line of sight, always felt that something was wrong with Liu Xi today, she had to ask clearly.

Liu Xi smiled, "I'm fine."

"Yes!" Shen Jiangli replied firmly.

Liu Xi smiled brightly, "My foot is really not hurt, it's really fine."

"No, yes." Shen Jiangli pointed to her ankle, and tapped the Shuying Knife three times with his fingers, "This, this one!"

Liu Xi chuckled, "Sparse shadows slant horizontally, the water is clear and shallow, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlight dusk. Therefore, the dark fragrance and sparse shadows refer to the plum blossoms on this knife."

She didn't say a sentence, and there is actually another allusion to these two sentences.

Mei wife.

Lin Bu, a hermit, had no wife in his life, so he took Meihua as his wife.

Liu Xi originally thought that the kiss in the snowstorm tonight was just a momentary impulse between her and her, but holding this sparse shadow at this moment, she finally felt at ease.

Some things don't need to be said out loud, since Liu Xi has accepted the knife, it can be regarded as a promise made by Jinglan.

Heart, shyly and excitedly jumped violently.

The moment she was infatuated with her suddenly reappeared in his mind, and the love moved again, and the qi pill in the dantian turned irregularly a few times.

"bass."

In order to cover up the panic at this time, Liu Xi deliberately pulled Shuying out of the scabbard.

The sharp blade reflected her smiling eyes.

"It's red." Shen Jiangli clearly saw that Liu Xi's cheeks were getting hotter and hotter. She was almost sure that something must have happened to her sister and Xiao Wu on the way.

Liu Xi put the knife back into its sheath, and asked with a suppressed smile: "Nonsense, where is it red?" The smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hold back at all, the more she pretended to be calm, the more shy she looked.

This time it was Shen Jiangli who smiled triumphantly. She tugged at the corner of Liuxi's snow fur coat, and asked softly, "Is there something?"

"It's just an accident!" Liu Xi turned her face away, and quickly changed the topic, "My sister must be tired after a busy night, let's go to bed early."

"No, yes." Shen Jiangli stood up and sat down in front of Liu Xi, with a hint of cunning in his smile, "Say, say!"

"It was just an accident, there is nothing to say." Liu Xi's tone was rather guilty.

"No, believe me." Shen Jiangli was about to break the casserole and ask the end.

Knowing that she couldn't hold back Shen Jiangli, Liu Xi moved closer to Shen Jiangli and said in a low voice, "Tonight... I couldn't hold back...so..." The last two words were as thin as a mosquito, and Liu Xi I only felt a buzzing sound, and my cheeks were burning hot.

"My dear!"

"Shh!"

"Then?"

"And that's it..."

"not enough."

"I said it all."

"besides."

Liu Xi suddenly regretted a little, seeing Jiang Li's younger sister's situation tonight, she wanted to ask her all night.

but……

Anyway, I can't sleep anymore, it seems good to talk about some happy things between the sisters.

After chatting for a while, Shen Jiangli suddenly said seriously: "Yes, book!"

Liu Xi was taken aback, "What book?"

Shen Jiangli blushed rarely, and said in a low voice, "Chun, Tu."

"You!" Liu Xi didn't expect that Shen Jiangli would suddenly think of this matter.

Shen Jiangli raised his face proudly, "Yes, learn."

Liu Xi shyly said: "Sister, where did you know all this?"

"Doctor, book." Shen Jiangli answered calmly. These years, she lived alone in the gate of ghosts. When she was bored, she would read the books kept by ghost doctors.

She didn't know that the "Fighting Goblins" she had seen was actually hidden in the pile of books by a certain senior.

"There's this in medical books?" Liu Xi didn't believe it.

Shen Jiangli said seriously: "Yes, yes!" After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, walked to the desk, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, "I, draw!"

Jing Lan was walking in the Donglin City under the wind and snow. At first, her ears felt hot and she felt that she might be frozen, but when the Qi Dan in her dantian suddenly started to rotate, until her dantian was scorching hot.

She couldn't help but annoyed and said in a low voice: "Liu Xi, what do you want to do with double cultivation at night?!"

The author has something to say: More text~I suddenly feel that even if I talk about double cultivation next time, it may not be true double cultivation XDDD
