It was night, after taking a bath, Feng Yan put on a tulle underwear, burned incense in the room, and walked to He Lanlan with the carefully brewed tea.
He Lanlan was carefully drawing sketches of some new areas at the border. When he noticed someone approaching, he raised his head and glanced briefly, saying, "I'm still busy. You can go somewhere else to rest tonight."
Feng Yan blew the tea gently, handed it to him and said softly: "I'll stay with you."
Her loose sleeves were lifted up together, and they smelled of powder. This smell was deliberate.
He Lanlan had smelled these smells in the past, and had long been accustomed to the skins soaked in fat and powder. At this time, he couldn't help but frown and said: "This smell is too strong, I don't like it."
Feng Yan prepared carefully for a long time. After being denied by him, her face turned red and white, so she could only whisper: "Then I will change my clothes again..."
She said that she was about to change clothes again, but He Lanlan was not very interested. He shook his head and said: "Forget it, I will probably stay up all night tonight, so you don't have to worry about it."
Feng Yan turned her head, her expression clearly aggrieved. She didn't understand why He Lanlan was always so distant.
He seemed to have no emotions, and pleasure in bed was just his way of entertainment. After getting out of bed, there was nothing lingering in his eyes.
Yes, for him, it is a thing that hangs around, not a person that hangs around.
No one can completely keep him with his body.
Orioles, swallows, red flowers and green willows are all playthings in his hands.
He Lanlan couldn't see the disappointment in her eyes. He raised the half-drawn map in his hand and said, "I will go out for inspection tomorrow morning."
Feng Yan didn't dare to say anything more, and she didn't dare to disobey him in the slightest.
When He Lanlan is unhappy, he doesn't yell and vent his anger. When he is really angry, he is extremely quiet, so quiet that it is suffocating.
Feng Yan remembered that in the capital two years ago, He Lanlan's favorite person at that time was a girl named Qi'er. Qi'er was beautiful and had a sweet mouth. For a long time, she was the one who followed He Lanlan.
, many people think that no matter how hard Qi'er works, she can become the concubine of the Second Young Master Helan.
Once, He Lanlan and several young men from aristocratic families in the capital were drinking tea in a teahouse. Suddenly Qi'er beside him shouted in panic: "Oh, why is my wallet missing?"
He Lanlan and others are all very respectable in the capital, and the teahouse is naturally the most concerned about their affairs. Soon the waiter in the teahouse turned to a little girl and said to Qi'er to please him: "It's a
The smelly girl with unclean hands and feet is not from our homeland, but came from the Qiang Wu Kingdom in the south."
The money bag was quickly found from the little girl, and the waiter presented it to Qi'er respectfully. Perhaps because there were so many people at this table, Qi'er couldn't help but feel arrogant and wanted to show off her status in front of others.
Qi'er reached out and pinched the money bag in disgust, glanced sideways at the little girl who stole the money bag, gently covered her nose and said: "Forget it, you are not a local child, so I won't bother to talk to you." She opened the money bag and checked it.
There was a lot of money inside, and he muttered: "Anyway, there's nothing good that can come out of a small place like the Qiang Wu Kingdom in the south."
She said this very quietly, but He Lanlan, who was sitting next to her, heard her.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
He Lanlan usually does not have the aloof attitude of a nobleman. He is casual and almost never loses his composure.
But that day, Feng Yan saw his expression suddenly change, and he dropped the tea cup she had picked up, causing the tea inside to splash out and onto Qi'er's arm.
He quietly looked at Qi'er who screamed in surprise. The cold aura emanating from his body made her shut up immediately after seeing it clearly. Qi'er didn't know why, but could only stare at He Lanlan in a daze, not daring to say anything.
He Lanlan's face was gloomy and terrifying, and everyone else at the table was also silent, not daring to speak out.
For a long time, he just said to Qi'er calmly: "Take your money bag and go away."
After saying that, Helanlan picked up the overturned teacup and poured tea into it. Qi'er didn't know what she said that offended him, so she knelt down and begged him to forgive her, but Helanlan turned a deaf ear and didn't even look.
He looked at her and drank tea by himself.
"Don't let me say it a second time, and don't let me see you again."
Not to mention offending his Qi'er, even Feng Yan, who was sitting opposite He Lanlan, was really frightened when she saw this scene.
As for the little Qiang Wu girl who stole things, He Lanlan not only did not blame her in the slightest, but even gave her a piece of silver and sent her away.
Later, on various occasions of eating and drinking, I never saw that girl Qi'er again.
I heard that Qi'er had a lot of trust and went to ask other young masters to tell him why he had offended He Lanlan. Feng Yan was also puzzled. Qi'er just didn't hold back his words and said a few mean words, but after all, the little girl
He really stole Qi'er's money bag, so it doesn't matter if he just said a few words.
Feng Yan also went to inquire about it herself, but those young masters and buddies were all mysterious and said vaguely: "Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. This can only be blamed on Qi'er's bad luck. Who dares to tell
What’s her reason?”
Later, Feng Yan was lucky enough to be favored by He Lanlan, and she decided to be a docile cat next to him.
He said one and she would never do the other.
Just like at this moment, he wanted her to go out, and she didn't dare to bargain anymore.
Feng Yan walked out of He Lanlan's room, closed the door gently and went to the guest room to rest.
Stayed up all night.
He Lanlan put away the map of the region he had drawn, stood up and stretched his muscles, changed his clothes and went straight out the door.
He called the soldiers in the main city and ordered the tools to be prepared.
Not far away, Xiao Qingyuan happened to pass by. He Lanlan called to her and said, "Let's go out with me."
Xiao Qingyuan refused very coldly and arrogantly: "Mr. Helan, you should ask others to accompany you, such as the idle girl Feng Yan. I don't have nothing to do all day long, so what do you ask me to do?"
He Lanlan walked over and said with a smile: "Aren't you my maid? If I don't have something to do, who can I call if I don't come to you? Quickly pack up and get ready to go out."
Xiao Qingyuan snorted, put her hands on her hips and retorted: "I have changed my mind, okay? From now on, I will be Lord Guan's maid, and I will only be responsible for taking care of Lord Guan's affairs."
He Lanlan followed her example, puffed up his cheeks, put his hands on his hips and said, "Humph, then I'll go talk to Mr. Guan."
Xiao Qingyuan watched as he really walked towards Guan Jiyu's room, then walked out quickly, patted her on the head and said, "Okay, Mr. Guan agreed, you can go with me without any worries."
He Lanlan called a dozen soldiers, holding various tools, and walked from the main city of Yanjiang Corridor to the direction of Hechiliu in the west. When he arrived at the point circled on the map, he said: "This is it.
Already."
The soldiers he brought started to work one after another. Xiao Qingyuan came over and looked at the map in his hand, and asked puzzledly: "Why should we draw a fence here? Do you want to put a fence on this place?"
He Lanlan explained: "This is not a fence, but a border wall."
Xiao Qingyuan was even more confused. She touched her chin and said, "Don't we, the Hechiliu Kingdom, always have good relations with you, Xuli? What does it mean to build a border wall?"
It was impossible to explain a lot to a child. He Lanlan did not look at her, but looked far to the west, and explained half-truthfully: "Because I want to trap you. What if you get lost?
"
Xiao Qingyuan pouted her mouth, and the bells hanging on her braids made a sweet sound. She said, "Then if I want to go back to Hechiliu, am I not allowed to go out?"
"Okay." He blinked, then clicked on the place circled on the map, and said: "I will leave a door here. If you want to go home, I will open the door and let you out. If you want to come back, I will
Just open the door and let you in."
Xiao Qingyuan snorted: "If you let Feng Yan bully me again, will I really go back? If you open the door, I won't come in."
These childish words brought a hint of endearment to He Lanlan's eyes, and he asked warmly: "Then do you want to go back? If you stay here all the time, will you feel bored?"
Xiao Qingyuan thought for a long time and said: "Hechiliu is the least interesting. I don't want to go back. I want to go to the south. I heard that there are many interesting places in the south."
"South, South..." He Lanlan read these three words in his mouth twice, and then murmured: "I want to go too, even in my dreams..."
When Xiao Qingyuan heard that He Lanlan was also interested in this place, he quickly asked: "There are several countries in the south. The Qiang Wu Kingdom and the Kuisi Kingdom are both very good. Where do you want to go?"
He Lanlan was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said: "It's all good, all is fine."
"Brother Lanlan, when will we go to the south?" Xiao Qingyuan came over happily, with a piece of candy in her mouth. When she came closer, Helan Lan's nose was full of sweet taste.
He Lanlan looked at her lively smile and said with a smile: "Next time I have a chance to take leave, I will take you with me." Then he tapped her forehead with his finger and said: "Eat less sugar and be careful.
All the teeth are broken."
Xiao Qingyuan was naturally very happy after receiving such a promise. She jumped up to the side of the working soldiers and said, "Brother, please work harder. If Master Helan is not busy when the work is completed, we can go to the south."
Let’s play!”
The soldier didn't understand her joy, so he kept his head buried and continued to work hard. When he went down with the hoe, he found that the soil underground was a little wet. After a few more exertions, water was dug out.
He Lanlan also discovered this strange thing. This place was really strange. When it was dry, it made people's skin itch. After he found a place to build a city defense, he unexpectedly dug out water again.
He couldn't help but laugh. He was really a golden finger. If this continued, water would no longer be a problem.
He simply waved his hand and said: "Find another place outside and dig a place to use as a bath!"
Xiao Qingyuan happily ran over to help dig the place for the bath. He Lanlan sat there and smiled and watched her running around. This child seemed to always have inexhaustible energy.
It is completely opposite to him at this time, brave and passionate.
From time to time, she would say to him: "Why do you always sit there like an old man?"
The cardamom years are still too young after all.
But wasn't he once young? He was once as carefree and free as she was.
After the woman from the Qiang Wu Kingdom left, He Lanlan's soul seemed to have been taken away with her.
Southern women are the most seductive and ruthless.
His love was taken away, and even his youthful enthusiasm and bravery were taken away.
For a long time, He Lanlan could not hear anyone mention the Qiang Wu Kingdom. These three words pierced his heart. People who knew him well would tacitly not mention a word about this past, and he gradually became more deliberate in this way.
Slowly learn to forget through avoidance.
But that woman has always been in his heart, and he knows it very well.
Until Xiao Qingyuan asked him with an innocent face, when will he go to the south?
Perhaps, he really should go to the south in person and visit the Qiang Witch Country.
He Lanlan suddenly realized that maybe this situation could be broken only when he took that brave step.
The word love is the most annoying.
The word love is also the most heart-warming word.
"Xiao Qingyuan." He said to the busy child not far away: "When the city defense is built, let's go to the south together?"
His eyes were bright and he said: "Let's go to the Qiang Wu Kingdom. I'll take care of everything for you, sir!"
