When she went to the Duke Zhen's mansion, Ge Lanzhou arranged for her the room next to his own.
"Don't be restrained when you come here. It's like coming to your own home. You and I are friends now. No need to be polite when you see me."
Li Jiahe was so moved that he almost cried. Girls are indeed the cutest creatures. Although Huaide is not unkind to her, there are still barriers to communication due to gender differences.
Ge Lanzhou ordered his servants to bring a pile of gold and silver jewelry and put them in Li Jiahe's room.
"It's our first time meeting you. I don't know what you like. You should accept these things first."
This method of showing good will is simple and crude. In the 21st century, she had always longed for a best friend with such a grudge, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, her wish came true when she came here.
If he hadn't known that Ge Lanzhou was a girl, Li Jiahe thought, he might have fallen in love with her.
She is good-looking and rich, and most importantly, she is so gentle to girls, who could not be moved by her?
Although she was moved, she did not accept the gift, and Ge Lanzhou did not force it. He just asked people to pile the things on the table and ignored them.
"Is this your first time back to the capital? It's a little late today. I'll accompany you for a walk tomorrow morning. There are still many places worth seeing here."
She looked at Li Jiahe's fair and pink face. For some reason, from the first moment she saw her, she felt that she was kind, even worse than Kang Le. It was as if the two were old friends, and she always made her endure.
They couldn't help but get close. On the way back, she racked her brains and couldn't match such a face with the faces that appeared in her mind. That's right, how could there be such a dewy beauty in the bitter cold land outside the Great Wall.
While the two were talking, the housekeeper of the Zhenguo Palace ran in from outside the courtyard.
"General, Your Majesty..."
As soon as I raised my head, I saw Li Jiahe in the room, and immediately fell silent.
How could Li Jiahe not see that he had something private to say to Ge Lanzhou, so he retreated outside the house with a wink.
The relationship between Kang Le and Ge Lanzhou is more like sisters than master and apprentice. The two of them, one guarding the border and the other sitting in the court, firmly control the lifeline of Daqi. Because of this, they feel that they are being attracted by women.
Especially the adults who had the two yellow-haired girls on their side felt uncomfortable. Before Kang Le even ascended the throne, many people openly and secretly wanted to get rid of her. However, the soldiers Ge Lanzhou trained for her were very skilled, so for many years
Come, even if Ge Lanzhou is not in the capital, Kangle will still be safe.
Ge Lanzhou is not a person who likes to run around, but for the sake of happiness, she is willing to run back from outside the Great Wall when she has time. In this way, the two of them are more in love than ever. As long as she comes back, Kang Le will definitely call her into the palace to stay for a few days. This
This time is no exception.
But unfortunately, Ge Lanzhou had just brought Li Jiahe back to his house, so it was inappropriate to just abandon him like this.
Calling people in from outside the house, she said: "Your Majesty has invited me to the palace for a banquet later in the evening. Do you want to go with me?"
Li Jiahe and Huaide must be familiar with each other, so she is not worried that she is a rebel. Besides, she has been following her every step of the way, and even if she has evil intentions, she has no chance to do anything.
Li Jiahe was all excited when he heard that Ge Lanzhou was going to take him into the palace. It turns out that girls are reliable. If they expected Xing Lan, she would probably not have a chance to get close to the empress in three to five hundred years, let alone help him complete his mission to obtain
spiritual power.
She responded with all her heart.
Afraid that she would not be able to let go at night, Ge Lanzhou ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes according to her taste, and warned: "Let go and eat. We will enter the palace when we are full."
Ge Lanzhou had been stationed outside the fort for many years and had a heavy taste, which coincided with Li Jiahe. The two had a hearty meal, took a short rest, and got on the carriage at the same time as before entering the palace.
The palace at night and the palace during the day look like two buildings.
Under the diffuse darkness, the light from the lanterns made the palace look particularly majestic.
Li Jiahe stood at the entrance of the palace, looking up at the huge building complex in front of her, feeling awe. Although she had gone to the Forbidden City many times in the past, her senses as a bystander and as a protagonist are different. Every brick here is
Watts are all the accumulation of history, even though the era she lived in is fictional.
There was fog all around, and the palace standing quietly in the dusk looked like a lion with its mouth wide open.
When they arrived at Changle Palace in Kangle, the palace maid in charge came to greet her from afar. She glanced at Li Jiahe and thought she was Ge Lanzhou's new maid.
"Your Majesty is practicing, please wait a moment, General."
Cultivation is Kang Le's only pleasure besides opening up new territories. Although Ge Lanzhou disagrees, she never interferes much. However, when the opportunity is right, she will give her a few words of advice. If things go on like this, Kang Le will become more restrained in front of her.
She and Li Jiahe waited for Kang Le in the palace for more than an hour. By this time, the sky had turned completely dark. The fog was getting heavier, and the wind outside the palace sounded like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
Li Jiahe felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and he leaned closer to Ge Lanzhou uncomfortably.
Knowing that he didn't like her engaging in those evil ways, Kang Le would not choose to practice when he entered the palace in the past, so this time, Ge Lanzhou also felt a little strange.
She raised her hand, and the maid in charge ran over in a hurry.
"Which palace is your Majesty in?"
The maid whispered: "Still in the Palace of Eternal Life."
Ge Lanzhou stood up suddenly: "I'll go take a look."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Jiahe hurriedly reached out and pulled her sleeve: "General..."
She didn't dare to stay in this huge palace by herself. Although there were other people in the room, she still felt it was eerie probably because she was unfamiliar with the environment.
Ge Lanzhou thought for a moment and said, "Follow me."
The two of them, led by the maid in charge, headed all the way to the Palace of Eternal Life.
The body of the Palace of Eternal Life is in the shape of a phoenix. Viewed from a distance, it looks like a trailing phoenix quietly looking down at the earth. The candlelight in the palace ignites the phoenix's eyes, as if there are two clusters of flames flickering. Before it gets close,
You can see the white smoke floating out from the palace, this smoke is even heavier than the fog.
Under the atmosphere of terror, Li Jiahe unconsciously held Ge Lanzhou's arm: "General, I, I'm a little scared."
Ge Lanzhou looked at the pair of slender jade fingers wrapped around her, and patted them comfortingly. Before she could speak, she suddenly noticed a sense of oppression coming from the dark. She looked around warily, except for the night that was getting stronger.
The branches were blowing here and there, but there was nothing suspicious around them.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
She held Li Jiahe's hand: "Don't run around when you go in later, be sure to follow me closely."
The two of them entered the hall as they spoke.
This is one of the places where Kang Le practices. She has a habit of leaving no one outside when practicing, so the hall is empty and deserted at this time. Walking further in, there is a black iron door in the northwest corner with two tigers carved on it.
The door was completed, the door was closed, and the white smoke just seen outside the hall was coming from under the door.
Ge Lanzhou dismissed the maid and went to open the door.
At first she used no force and the door didn't move at all. She sensed something was wrong and used 30% of her strength to pull the door knocker again. With a "squeak", the door finally opened slowly. This chapter has been completed!
