sinking into sand

In the inn in Yunliu Lane, Xun Er suddenly felt a little palpitating.

Remembering the worrying incident when she ran to Yu Sha's house last time, Guan Lan insisted on letting one of their accompanying guards stay.

The guards had also been on the battlefield, so they didn't overreact to the scars on Xun Er's face.Rather than this, he was more nervous about how to get along with a little girl.Seeing the girl's suddenly worried look, I don't know if I should speak up to persuade her.

He didn't need to worry about Xun Er, she felt faintly uneasy, thinking that if Mu Yao or Yu Sha were there, maybe it would be all right.It's just that now one followed Guan Lan and the others out, and the other disappeared.

"I hope nothing will happen..." She thought anxiously, it would be better if someone was on the side than last time.Although she is also a stranger, she can still be regarded as the sister-in-law's natal family, so she should be trustworthy.

I don't know how the guard would feel if he knew that he was assigned to the category of Guan Lan's natal family.

At least at this moment, he didn't know. After looking around for a while, it was too embarrassing for Xu Shi not to say a word, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"What kind of cocoon is that in your hand? It doesn't look like it came out of martial arts."

"Ah, you said this." Hearing his question on Xun Er, he said in a good temper: "Pipa is practiced, do you want to listen?" '

—

On the other side, Guan Lan and his party also arrived at Jinzhan Pavilion.They have been waiting for a long time because they have to cooperate with the rules of stopping the coffin and offering sacrifices.

The battle for the funeral was really not small, the night was already thick, and there was a dense group of people, all wearing black cloaks, it was impossible to recognize who was who.

Ye Wanwan was impatient to wait, and she frowned even more when she saw these people, and said, "What's wrong with you, there's a funeral at night, so it's okay to be shameless."

After hearing this, Yu Sha replied, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just that the funeral ceremony has to be carried to Jinting Mountain for burial. When I go up the mountain at this time, the ceremony is over when the morning light is twilight. It's just a custom in the Lijiang River area."

Ye Wanwan, who had been popularized by him about the local customs, curled her lips, noncommittal.

She didn't meet anyone she wanted to meet at Peony Academy that day, and she wasn't very enthusiastic about giving Yu Shaomiao, the culprit in the rumors, a funeral. She just wanted to finish things quickly and pack up and go back to the north.

As for Guan Lan, it would be a big deal to fight, and take him away immediately after being knocked out.

Guan Lan hadn't had time to tell her that there were still many things to do in Lijiang this time, and she didn't want to be remembered to be knocked out and brought back to Quehuo.He had no idea that he still had such a lawsuit to deal with, and he only had the matter of Yu Sha in his eyes.

Yu Sha is nervously looking at the past one by one, so as to deduce the purpose of this trip.He followed along and saw the leader who he had seen at a glance.

He patted Yu Sha and said in a low voice: "Hey, I've heard you say a lot, haven't you ever doubted the Prince of Dingzhou? He lives alone in the Jinzhan Pavilion."

Yu Sha was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Xie Jingrong.

He hesitated for a second, then said, "It won't be him."

Guan Lan was surprised: "Why?"

Yu Sha said in a low voice, "Do you know how he came to be the crown prince?"

Guan Lan replied: "It is said that it was recommended by the Zhai family, but it was just a clan that didn't know how biased it was."

Yu Sha said: "Yes. The Zhai family was quite prestigious among the noble families in the north, and Zhai Su came out later. Now that the military power is in control, the power is becoming more and more stable. That's why Xie Jingrong, the crown prince, is safe."

Guan Lan still didn't understand, and asked, "What does this have to do with the fact that he won't participate in the Bliss Party?"

Yu Sha said: "Firstly, the prince is just a decoration and has no real power. Secondly... Xie Jingrong and Di Su studied in the Lijiang River for two years when they were teenagers. The relationship between these two people is very unusual. Chayan business is Zhai Su. Xie Jingrong won't be able to make money by stepping on Zhai Su's bones."

Guan Lan nodded, thoughtfully, and then asked, "Why are the two of them so unusual?"

He asked this question casually, originally it was just casually.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Yu Sha got stuck for some reason.He couldn't speak a word, but his face turned red.

The night was getting dark and the light of the torch was also dim. Guan Lan didn't see Yu Sha's expression clearly, and was a little strange. He thought he was serious and no one heard him, so he moved closer and repeated in his ear.

"Hey, I asked, why are the two of them so unusual."

These words blew into Yu Sha's ear with Guan Lan's exhalation.Yu Sha was recalling some indescribable things in his mind, suddenly he was aroused by the heat, and hid a little to the side.

Guan Lan didn't know that this was done by herself. She looked at Yu Sha and hid suddenly, still very strange, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did I ask something strange?"

Yu Sha looked at Guan Lan, not knowing how to reply.This person always looks like he doesn't care, but the questions he asks are all at the joints, which is very embarrassing.

He hesitated for a long time, and said falteringly: "Parting the peach, breaking the sleeve? Longyang, you have always heard of that kind of relationship between them."

Guan Lan frowned after listening.

He knew what a broken sleeve was, and Ye Wanwan had scolded him many times.He has seen it himself. He has traveled to many places in these years, and he has naturally met that kind of young lady who looks like a good girl and looks like a prostitute.

However, there was a little misunderstanding in it, because of his own appearance, he misunderstood the word.He only knew that the word was a derogatory term used to swear, but he understood it as a man who looked like a woman, not a man who was with men.

This leads to a problem.He had met Zhai Su, and felt that the other party's image could not be compared with women.Should it be Xie Jingrong?The prince was handsome and clear, but he would never mistake him for a woman.At the same time, he couldn't understand why the word Duanxiu could refer to the relationship between two people.

The confusion on his face caused by the confusion of word meanings was so perfect that Yu Sha thought that he was just surprised by this fact, not that he didn't understand it at all.

He smiled awkwardly: "It's hard to imagine, isn't it?"

Guan Lan nodded with difficulty, Zhai Su is a general, no matter how handsome he is, it is really hard to imagine him as a woman, he really doesn't understand.

Seeing his uncomfortable expression, Yu Sha seemed to be completely unacceptable, but he also became puzzled when he thought of the man's open mouth a few days ago.If this person can't accept this kind of thing, why does he lie so smoothly.

He thought that Guan Lan might not accept this kind of thing, and his heart felt sour for no reason.But it's not easy to ask, I just choose my words carefully, and my tone: "... Is this strange?"

Guan Lan nodded hurriedly, of course it was strange!Who can imagine Zhai Su wearing a skirt?He wears about the same.

Yu Sha's heart immediately turned cold, but it was not too uncomfortable.Some beautiful thoughts just popped up, and Guan Lan nodded them away.

That's good too, Yu Sha thought.

In this way, he won't be shaken by his unsure words in the future, and there won't be any misunderstandings.

Guan Lan never expected that what they asked and answered was completely irrelevant.Seeing that Yu Sha's expression was not quite right, she was about to ask a few more questions, but Ye Wanwan reminded her.

"The chariots and horses are moving, they've returned to their souls, and they're leaving." She interrupted the conversation between the two with an expression on her face, without any guilt.

Guan Lan turned her head to look at her, her eyes were full of your understanding and ignorance.

Ye Wanwan also looked back, her eyes were full of the fact that your last lover was lying in the coffin in front of her, so you should restrain yourself a bit.

Their eyes are fierce here.Yu Sha was not in the mood to watch, and walked straight forward.

Guan Lan who was left behind: "..."

Ye Wanwan: "Pfft."
