Lanling Ji

The mottled city walls that have been baptized by war, and the remaining potholes of knives and guns can be seen faintly, but it cannot obliterate its majesty and solemnity.

Ye Lanling raised his head and squinted at the name of the city - Luoyang.

Luoyang!It is the real Luoyang, an ancient city in history.Ye Lanling, who is not easy to move, can't help being a little excited at the moment. He can witness history with his own eyes and hear the voices of people in ancient times with his own ears. There are too many unknowns and too many strange things.

"Fight for Daqiu to grow ten thousand feet, and build Luoyang City with the king." Ye Lanling couldn't help but spit out softly.

"What?" Shen Ning also raised his head, looking puzzled at Ye Lanling who was muttering to himself.Brother Ye seemed very happy. Didn't Brother Shenxian ever go to the city?Shen Ning followed Ye Lanling's line of sight, "Each Yang."

"Ah?" Ye Lanling paused after hearing the words, "Ge Yang?"

"Yes." Shen Ning muttered in doubt, why was it a little different from what my mother pronounced last time, but those two words were "Geyang".

Ye Lanling took a closer look at the two characters again. Although the shape of the characters is not like the modern style, the "Luoyang" that I saw in ancient books before is not much different from this, so I can't be wrong.

A girl who had just left the city came towards him, "Hi, excuse me, where is this place?" Ye Lanling stepped forward and asked.

"Ah..." The girl shyly looked at Ye Lanling's face, "Your...Young master, this is Luoyang."

"It's Luoyang, thank you." Ye Lanling turned sideways, looked at Shen Ning who was pouting, and raised his eyebrows.

"Young master is like a foreigner, if you are not familiar with this place, little girl can..."

Before the girl finished speaking, Shen Ning pulled Ye Lanling up and walked towards the city gate.

Ye Lanling didn't know why the brat suddenly got awkward, so he nodded to the poor girl in apology.

"Ning'er? What's the matter with you?" When I first entered the city gate, I didn't see anything like a wanted notice posted. It seems that the one who destroyed Shen's Village was not the government, but bandits.

"Hmph!" Shen Ning stopped, with his hands on his hips, "That big sister just now was so disgusting."

"Why do you say that?"

"Seeing that Brother Ye is beautiful, she thinks about something."

"Ning'er." Ye Lanling bent down and put his arms around Shen Ning's shoulders, "Brother Ye is a man, the adjective for a man should not be beautiful, if you say handsome, I think I will be happier."

"No." Shen Ning turned his head and pouted.

This stinking brat... Ye Lanling's black thread.

"Ning'er, it's the first time Brother Ye has come to the city, and he hasn't seen anything. If you want to live a sullen life by yourself, then I'll go and play by myself."

Ye Lanling made a gesture and turned around. Although he didn't know why the little brat lost his temper, but seeing his puffed cheeks...it must be because he was hungry.

"Let's go eat." Ye Lanling pulled Shen Ning up and stepped into the gate of Luoyang.

The bustling is still very lively, crowded with people, and cars and horses galloping in parallel.A long time ago, I went to Hengdian to carry out a mission, and happened to be filming a costume drama. The crowds on the street were almost the same, but they lacked freshness and reality.Now that I am in ancient times, I can't help but linger.Luoyang in the Northern Qi Dynasty is not the capital of the country, nor is there a history of peonies through the ages, but it is a place that must be contested by military strategists.

Ye Lanling stopped and walked, and the rare anger gradually appeared on his face. Perhaps it is a good thing to live here forever.

"Brother Ye." Shen Ning raised his head and pulled Ye Lanling's clothes, "Ning'er is hungry."

"Then let's go..." Before the word "eat" could be said, Ye Lanling suddenly froze.Oops!Only now do I remember one important thing: penniless!Ye Lanling frowned, squatted down worriedly, and looked at the drooping Shen Ning, "Ning'er, I'm sorry, brother Ye has no money now."

"Oh~~" Shen Ning started digging left and right in his clothes, and finally took out two strangely shaped objects, "Ning'er only has these."

Ye Lanling took the coins that seemed to be money, "What would Ning'er want to eat?"

"Flower Cake." Shen Ning pointed to a small stall not far away.

Ye Lanling stood up, and pulled Shen Ning to the side alley, "Wait for me here."

"kindness."

When Ye Lanling returned to the alley, Shen Ning had already fallen asleep leaning against the corner of the wall.

Two coins only exchanged for three flower cakes.

Ye Lanling silently sat down next to Shen Ning.

There is no silver tael, and there is no result to inquire about "Wang Wenjiang". What should we do now?Without food, without shelter, what can I do for a living in this world?Do I have to go back to my old business, no... I don't want to steal anymore.Looking up and seeing a "pawn shop" banner in the distance, Ye Lanling thought of the package, there was only the ring and jade belt inside, and the "star of wish" promised Shen Ning not to be a pawn.That jade belt... no... I'm inexplicably reluctant...

How long has it been, and I am no longer so embarrassed and helpless, desperate.

The sky is getting darker, people are rushing to pack up and go home, the busy streets are gradually deserted, no longer noisy.A little bit of fire was lit, and the night was restored to silence.

Ye Lanling frowned, unconsciously thinking too much, thinking for too long, so that he sat for a whole afternoon.It turns out that I am really a bit old... Hehe, I smiled wryly at myself.

"Ning'er." Ye Lanling patted Shen Ning who was still awake beside him, "Wake up."

no response.

"Ning'er, Ning'er?" Ye Lanling finally felt something was wrong, stroked Shen Ning's forehead, it was so hot!Ye Lanling patted his blushing face, damn it!Forget that it's winter, Ning'er is sleeping in the alley in such thin clothes, damn it!Ye Lanling gritted his teeth, picked up the unconscious Shen Ning, and ran to the street.

Three pieces of cooled flower cakes rolled down in the corner.

God!Where is the hospital, why is there no signboard.Why didn't I see anyone?Shouldn't there be lights at night?Ye Lanling hugged Shen Ning with some difficulty, and quickly ran past various archways, the surroundings were completely dark, and he couldn't tell the direction.

Suddenly, Ye Lanling saw a strong light coming from the corner, and even human voices, like singing and noisy laughter.

Ye Lanling ran around the corner with the last of his strength, and finally lost his strength, and fell down on the threshold.

"Cough cough... cough." Ye Lanling panted heavily, trying to adjust the frequency of breathing, must not fall ill at this time, otherwise what would Ning'er do, "cough cough."

"Yo~~ Where did this beggar come from, who dared to sleep in front of the Hongying Tower."

Hearing this, Ye Lanling raised her head slowly, the lights were a bit dazzling, and she vaguely saw a woman with scantily dressed and flamboyant clothes leaning lazily by the door.

The woman approached with a swaying figure, and after seeing Ye Lanling's appearance clearly, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

The black eyes are transparent, the nose is fine and the mouth is full, the muscles are icy and fat, and the apricot red is handsome.Although he is a man, he is more refined and elegant than a charming woman. He has picturesque features and is better than a beauty.

The woman was stunned for a while, then smiled coquettishly, "Young master seems to be in trouble, I wonder if I can help you?" The woman glanced at Shen Ning who was in Ye Lanling's arms.

"Excuse me, is there a doctor nearby, Miss?"

"Coincidentally, the most famous doctor in Luoyang City is in the house. If you don't mind, you can go upstairs for a consultation."

Ye Lanling frowned, Hongying Tower should be a place of fireworks, mixed with mermaids, should I go in?Looking down at Shen Ning frowning, panting in pain, Ye Lanling gritted his teeth, "Then I'll disturb the girl."

"Hee hee, no need."

Shen Ning slept until the next afternoon after drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and Ye Lanling stayed with him the whole time.That woman was the old bustard of Hongying Tower, named Xianghong. She hired a doctor and even vacated a room. Although nothing bad happened, Ye Lanling still felt uneasy.

"Brother Ye." Shen Ning's eyes drifted away just after waking up, and when he saw Ye Lanling sitting on the side of the bed, he called.

"Ning'er." Ye Lanling heard the sound and realized that Shen Ning had woken up, "You're awake, is there any discomfort?"

Shen Ning shook his head, "Brother Ye, I'm fine." Looking around with big eyes, bright red curtains, pungent aroma, "Where is this?"

"Yes..." Ye Lanling was wondering how to explain, and the door was opened.

It is fragrant red.

"The doctor said that the little brother must wake up today." Xianghong smiled all over her face, holding lotus seed porridge in her hand, "Eat something light first, I must be hungry."

"Thank you." Ye Lanling helped Shen Ning up and took the porridge bowl.

Shen Ning glanced at Xianghong, feeling disgusted in his heart.

"Ning'er, eat it while it's hot." Ye Lanling gestured to feed Shen Ning porridge.

"Young Master Ye." Xiang Hong suddenly interrupted Ye Lanling's movements, "Actually, I have something to say to Young Master."

Ye Lanling turned her head and saw Xianghong twisting Sijuan with her hands, as if she was in a hurry.

"I'll eat it myself, Brother Ye." Shen Ning took the bowl, and glanced at Xiang Hong's eyes, and a flash of... murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

"you can?"

"En." Shen Ning nodded vigorously.

"Then be careful not to overturn it." Ye Lanling handed over the bowl, patted Shen Ning's head, stood up, "Wait for me to come back."

Looking at Ye Lanling's leaving figure, Shen Ning put down the bowl, "Brother Ye, you have to be careful too."

————————————————————————————————————————

"Young Master Ye." Xiang Hong sat at the small wooden table with yellow flowers, carrying a pot of tea, "How is your brother?"

"It's cured, thank you girl."

"That's good." Xianghong brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Ye Lanling, "The slave family has something to ask for today."

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, Miss Cui Liu, the head of my family, suddenly fell ill and couldn't afford to be ill. Now that Hongyinglou's family is in dismal condition, and it has plummeted, now only young master can replace Cui Liu, otherwise..." Xiang Hong took out her scarf, covered her face and touched her. tears.

Ye Lanling was stunned in astonishment, and said for a while, "Gu... Miss, I'm actually a man."

"My family knows, but this is the only way to escape now." Xiang Hong's tears were mottled, "Young master, my family begs you, you must help my family."

"This..." Ye Lanling regretted endlessly.It's really careless. I fell into this woman's trap from the very beginning. I thought I would save Ning'er first, and then find a way to pay off the debt. I didn't expect that she would make such a request. How should I deal with it?

Xianghong peeked at Ye Lanling's surprised and embarrassed expression, but she didn't refuse firmly.Xiang Hong took the opportunity to grab his sleeve, "Young Master, if you don't say anything, the servants will agree, that's great! Hongyinglou is saved!"

Ye Lanling was stunned on the spot, looking at Xiang Hong who was talking to herself, and had no room to refute.

In fact, at this point, I have no way out. This cunning bustard must have sent someone to watch over Ning'er. If he doesn't agree, he will threaten him with this. If he escapes, he will surely kill someone and alarm the government, which will be even worse. up.

Ye Lanling frowned, "Excuse me, what can I do?" You wouldn't ask me to pick up the guests, right? I've never heard of male style being prevalent in this era.

"What kind of musical instrument can Mr. Ye play?"

"This..." Ye Lanling was about to talk about the piano, "Guzheng knows a little bit."

"It's okay, you just need to play a short section." Xiang Hong got up, "This is the wing room prepared by the slave's house for the son. The slave's house has sent someone to take care of your younger brother. The slave's family will send someone to pack the son's clothes in a while. Please, sir Get some rest."

Xiang Hongmei smiled and turned to close the door.

Ye Lanling was still staring at the texture on the table in a daze, he hadn't recovered from what he promised just now, this... what is this? !Suddenly picked up the teacup, swallowed a mouthful, like Longjing.Longjing...Ye Lanling gradually calmed down, and put down the small porcelain cup he was holding.I didn't taste much tea before, because the tea was too bitter and astringent, and I flinched in fear before tasting the sweetness, just like facing an enemy, I would never be able to kill him with a single shot.Lowering his eyes, he gently wiped the killing orchid needle at his waist that was inseparable from each other.It's not as good as the end, and I don't see Shi Lan.
