sinking into sand

After losing all the face he could lose in front of Zhai Su, Guan Lan finally calmed down.

Yu Sha forcibly pulled the man who was still holding his face back to the room, smiled awkwardly at Zhai Su who was still looking at him, and then closed the door of the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Guan Lan immediately came up to question him.

"What's the matter with you two." Guan Lan's tone was very bad: "My childhood sweetheart, the old relationship is rekindled."

"Grass..." Yu Sha was really overwhelmed by Guan Lan's excess imagination, "Don't mess around, he can go back to kill Xie Jingrong, what can he have with me."

"Oh." Guan Lan said, "So you're implying that I can't die for you."

Yu Sha: ...

Yu Sha got angry, turned his head and left, ignoring Guan Lan.

Guan Lan looked at Yu Sha's angry back, but he still didn't realize that he had made something wrong.Still leaning over, followed Yu Sha and poked his head to watch him tidy up the things on the table, and said, "You ask, what are you doing angry. If you don't ask, how do you know if I can die for you?"

Yu Sha smashed the things in his hand on the table all at once, making a loud noise, which startled Guan Lan.

"If you dare to die for me." Yu Sha spoke with a cold tone: "You will die."

Guan Lan: ...

Guan Lan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better not to touch Yu Sha's head at this time, saying that his words were wrong.

Guan Lan said: "Then you don't want me to do anything for you."

"No." Yu Sha said dryly, "Go away, you're so annoying."

Guan Lan hadn't seen such an angry Yu Sha for a long time, especially after he went to Daocheng, he was always preoccupied and didn't say anything.Seeing you now, it's very fresh, and I'm desperately trying to catch up and continue to flirt.

As a result, when the envoys from Dingzhou arrived the next day, the two of them forcibly broke free from sleepiness and got up, each with two dark circles under their eyes, and went to the yard to have a round with Guan Jingyue.

Faced with this scene, Guan Jingyue showed a tolerance that a mother should not have. She was even so pleased that the corners of her eyes glistened with tears, and said to the guard next to her: "Look, he has learned not to be late."

Yu Sha: ...

Yu Sha: He was really curious about how outrageous Guan Lan was when he was in the northern border.

All jokes are jokes, when the emperor comes, even if everyone knows that this person has nothing to respect, there must still be courtesy on the face.

First, he greeted him ten miles outside the city, and then followed him all the way to Fengcheng government office.Zhai Qian didn't skimp on the stage, he did all the rituals well.After finishing a whole set of greeting etiquette, there will be another banquet in the evening, where people will be seated according to their status, and the food will be brought in like a stream of water.Yu Sha's identity on this trip to the north was Guan Lan's bodyguard, so he couldn't sit with them, so he just sat at the end of the table, watching the group of people booing and drinking with hypocrisy from afar.

He had nothing to regret, he just felt that Guan Lan must be very upset.

After drinking for three rounds, some people gradually left the table, holding wine glasses and going to other places in the government office for secret talks, Yu Sha was very bored in the last seat.Thinking that maybe he could hear some news after walking around, he got up and left the table, and walked to the corridor of the government office.

It was there that he met someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

Mu Yao was wearing light armor, holding a wine glass in her hand, sitting on the porch, watching the dancers in the courtyard outside.

Yu Sha stood watching from a distance for a while, and then walked over after a while.

Mu Yao felt someone approaching, she slightly raised her eyelids to look over, and saw Yu Sha.

The two of them didn't need to exchange a few words to reminisce about the past, Yu Sha sat down directly, and looked at the dancers dancing in the yard together.

The woman was not very old, her waist was flexible, and the bells on her ankles rang softly as she twirled around, complementing the music played by the musician next to her, she was light, flexible and affectionate.

"Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song." Mu Yao commented: "It's not as good as a ten-twenty-fifth."

Yu Sha laughed, Mu Yao really pulled him back to Peony Academy with just one sentence.

"I don't think there is even one-twentieth of it." Yu Sha continued: "She played a new piece a few days ago, the score is still being deliberated, and the name has not yet been decided, but after rough listening, the level of realm is still as high as in "Feng Gao" On top of the song."

Mu Yao smiled: "Really, it's a pity, I didn't have the chance to hear it."

After saying this, the hatchback was silent, only the dance music outside the corridor and the sound of exchanging glasses in the distance could be heard.

After a long time, Yu Sha opened his mouth softly and asked Mu Yao a question: "Mr. Mu, why are you willing to stay under Yu Wangling's tent and let you be driven?" 2] pomegranate =

The lamps and shadows are dim, and the banquet is at this time, the wine is deep, and the night is dim, as if memories are flooding in.

"Peony Academy, Fourth Academy of Music, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting. Do you remember what they each study?" After a while, she asked Yu Sha a question first.

Yu Sha replied: "Qin rites, chess strategies, calligraphy, and painting."

"These four academies have different fates in this troubled world." Mu Yao said lightly, "The painting academy is the first to be destroyed. The craftsmanship is exquisite and perfect. This skill will only be praised in times of peace. In troubled times It is worthless, at most it is a vassal, and it is in vain in the end."

She looked at Yu Sha and said: "Then there is the qin ceremony. Rituals and music are for the purpose of regulating and restricting people's class and behavior, so as to maintain order and perform their duties. But if you look at today's battle, you will know that this is nothing but It's a joke, who really regards the Emperor Ji as the emperor? Even Xun Er herself, the last chief of the Qin Academy, ended up following the way of breaking the etiquette. None of the songs she really played conformed to the etiquette system .”

"There are only conspiracy theories and classics left." My mother asked Yu Sha, "What do you think of the fate of these two?"

Yu Sha pondered for a moment, and already had an answer in his heart.

"A schemer travels a long way." Yu Sha replied, "A man of books will spread his fragrance."

At this point, Mu Yao had a different opinion from Yu Sha.

"But the book must be written by the winner."

Mu Yao looked at Yu Sha, his eyes reflected the lights under the corridor of the government office.

"Those who are good at planning are able to make strategies, and they are wise to make decisions." She said slowly, "I win, or you and Si En win, it doesn't matter. There is always one person who can be the one who writes history."

"Then the name of my Peony Academy can finally be wiped out for thousands of years."

After another three rounds of drinking, the night became darker, and drunk people can be seen everywhere in the government office.

After Mu Yao left, Yu Sha held a jug of strong wine and drank himself until he was dead drunk.

When Guan Lan sneaked out to look for him, she saw him sitting in a corner with a wine jar in his arms. The wine jar was empty, and he kept pouring it into his mouth.

Guan Lan didn't know what happened to him while he was eating dinner, but he didn't seem to be sober at the moment, so he had to coax him back first.

He bent down to hug Yu Sha, never thought that Yu Sha would recognize him after drinking like this, and when he saw him, he wept even more fiercely.

"It's all...it's all because of me..." Yu Sha cried bitterly, "...I...I chose you, so my mother chose Yu Wangling..."

Guan Lan was at a loss when he heard that he was talking nonsense and couldn't understand the individuality, so he finally found an empty room for him to settle in.Ask patiently a little bit more, and then I can probably understand what he is crying about.

This matter touched his blind spot a bit, and he didn't know how to coax him.

"No." Guan Lan showed all her softness and spoke softly to him, "She...she's not wrong...but it's not."

"Most people in this world can't help themselves. You see, Zhai Su is like this, and you were like that back then. Yes, you are all in your place, and you may have many abilities, but there are some things that you should or cannot do. People It’s not that everything goes well when you win, but you often do a lot of unsatisfactory things just to win, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?”

He spoke until his tongue became dry, but Yu Sha still cried, hiccupping from crying.He was very drunk, his thoughts were confused, he couldn't listen to the explanation, he cried and made noises, telling Guan Lan not to talk nonsense, but giving him an argument that could be refuted.

Guan Lan was really full of lawsuits by him, and with great difficulty, he finally dug out an answer from his mind.

"Think about Lange." Guan Lan said, "Think about "Lange Writing Test" and those books."

"It doesn't matter if you win, you can die if you win, or you can be too late." Guan Lan said to Yu Sha: "Mo Shu's books are remembered and passed down, not because she won."

"Because she wrote it."
