"Ah Jiu, let's go back to the carriage and rest." Looking at the person who was leaning in his arms with half-closed eyes, Chu Lan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, with a bit more love in his eyes.
"Huh?" Zhang Qingjiu was being warmed by the fire not far away and the people behind him. He was a little drowsy. When he suddenly called him, he couldn't help but raise his head blankly.
"I said, I will accompany you to the carriage to rest." Chu Lan smiled again and gently rubbed the little head that was leaning on his shoulder.
"No, I'm not sleepy." Zhang Qingjiu opened his eyes immediately after hearing this clearly, his expression was full of energy, and after saying that, he turned to look at the person sitting opposite him, "Say, please go on.
!”
Everyone: "..."
Shui Lan looked at the excited person with a complicated face, and the scene when they first met came to mind.
Who would have thought that two people who once drew swords to help each other could now sit together around the same fire and tell stories about the past.
"What do you want to hear?" Shui Lan spoke subconsciously as her heart moved.
Just now, she was talking about some of her past in the Wu Clan when she was a child, but I didn't expect that she was also listening.
She went to the Prince's Mansion when she was eight years old, and has no deep memory of her childhood life.
What's more, the ten years in the Prince's Mansion are enough for her to remember for a lifetime.
"Why don't you tell us how you won the position of young patriarch." Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes.
Hearing these words, Shui Lan felt a chill in her heart. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and even her face turned pale. "Why do you want to hear this all of a sudden?"
"Oh, I just heard you say that there are many children in your clan, but no one knows who will become the next young clan leader, so I want to know how you won. Could it be that you learned your skills well in the Prince's Mansion?
." Zhang Qingjiu looked into the water-blue eyes and smiled faintly.
Across the firelight, those eyes were still dark and bright, but they couldn't hide the fear and fear deep inside.
Shui Lan suddenly regretted what she had just asked, "I'd better not listen to these things."
Hearing this, Zhang Qingjiu was stunned for a moment, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Chu Lan. It was obvious at a glance that they had similar minds.
Just now, her original intention was to let Shui Lan recall more joy. After all, the impact of breaking the formation today would definitely not be small. She felt uncomfortable physically, but at least she felt comfortable in her heart.
I didn't expect that Shui Lan would be so resistant.
Judging from Shui Lancai's description, their life is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, with men plowing the fields and women weaving, working as the sun rises and breathing as the sun sets.
Days like this can be described as a life in paradise.
Shui Lan's childhood was also full of joy and peace.
But if it was so peaceful, how could there be such a frightened look in her eyes?
At this moment, there was a sudden crackling sound in the fire in the middle, and a burst of sparks burst out. Chu Lan frowned and quickly covered Zhang Qingjiu with his cloak.
However, to everyone's surprise, Shui Lan suddenly stood up, ignoring the scalding heat, picked up a red-hot piece of wood, and smashed it in the direction of Zhang Qingjiu!
"you dare!"
"Aqua!"
Several exclamations sounded one after another, some blocked the flying sticks, and some rushed towards Shui Lan.
At the same time, Chu Lan hugged the person in her arms and took a step back suddenly.
But just this step made him feel as if he had stepped into another time and space. A light and shadow appeared in front of everyone, and everything in front of him seemed to be divided into two parts.
Zhang Qingjiu, who noticed the movement, lifted up his cloak. When he saw the scene in front of him, his breath suddenly suffocated, but he didn't care to say more. He only had time to leave one sentence: "Don't come over, don't kill her!"
As Zhang Qingjiu finished speaking, she and Chu Lan disappeared directly in front of everyone...
"Empress!"
"Your Highness?!"
Feng Zhi and Yun Que were shocked and were about to rush towards the place where they disappeared, but Wei Tunan grabbed them and said, "Don't go there!"
"Senior Wei, they..." Feng Zhi was so anxious that he almost burst into tears.
"You can't save me even if you go. If my guess is correct, there should be a formation within a formation!" Wei Tunan's eyes were a little colder.
And judging from the formation just now, it is obvious that they have been watched since their arrival.
Wu clan people, so brave!
After saying this, Wei Tunan turned to look at Shui Lan, who was already out of control.
They saw the girl who was whispering to them about the past a moment ago. At this moment, Mu Qing was holding her arms tightly. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, but her mouth kept making "oooooo" sounds like a trapped animal.
.
Wei Tunan's eyes turned cold and he was about to step forward, but in the end he did not forget Zhang Qingjiu's last words. He sighed heavily and glanced at Mu Qing, "You should think of a way to calm her down first.
"
Mu Qing nodded, raised the knife and lowered it.
Seeing his neatness without any hesitation and his extremely skilled skills, Wei Tunan couldn't help but twitch his lips despite the extreme crisis at this moment.
He wondered if Mu Qing had used Shui Lan to practice this move before.
Looking at the unconscious person in his arms, Mu Qing's eyes flashed, "Senior Wei, what should we do now?"
Wei Tunan pondered for a while and walked towards the place where the two disappeared just now.
But there was just an open space, not even a path for walking.
Wei Tunan stood for a long time, and finally turned around and sighed softly, "Waiting for daybreak."
Everything that just happened was so unexpected and unpredictable.
Fortunately, Xiaojiuer was not injured.
I just hope that the two of them will be safe and sound after entering.
It wasn't until the sun was shining brightly the next day and the entire mountain was filled with golden light that Shui Lan opened her eyes faintly.
Seeing several people looking at her at the same time, Shui Lan frowned at these different looks: "Why did I fall asleep... Why are you looking at me like this? Where are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?"
"
Although he guessed that Shui Lan had probably forgotten what happened last night, when this scene actually happened, Wei Tunan still felt a headache.
If he had known earlier, he might as well have taken one step faster and disappeared with him.
When Feng Zhi told Shui Lan what happened last night, the newly untied person was even more stunned than before.
"You mean... I attacked the empress last night and sent them into another formation?"
How could it be? She told her master that she would bring His Royal Highness and others to the clan as guests. Master was obviously very happy!
But if it is true as they said, the clan can do such a thing, and the only one with such ability is Master.
