Chapter 135
"I half believe what you said." Zhuo Ran turned his back to Wei Xun, and said, "Yan Chengxuan will definitely not rebel for the happiness of the imperial concubine, he has ulterior motives."

Li Xunchuan pinched the armrest of the rattan chair with his long fingers and lost his strength. He could only put his arm lightly on the edge of the table, exhale slowly, and then said: "I just knew that he met people from the Six Great Cities secretly, and thought he was trying to deal with me. , but never thought that his purpose would suddenly turn to His Majesty."

Wei Xun pursed his lips. He actually wanted to say something, but he felt that he had already said a lot, and from Zhuo Ran's point of view, it was not easy for her to trust herself.If it were someone else, they might not be able to wait for him to finish telling such a mysterious story.

Zhuo Ran didn't dare to look at Li Yuchuan, and she couldn't tell what expression she had now.

The news that Wei Xun brought meant that they should return to Gaodu to protect Chu Shiyu.Wei Xun now recognizes that Zhuo Ran is Nan Xiang, but he has no evidence to prove it, so now, this big Yu can only be Chu Shiyu's, let alone someone else taking it away.

How could Zhuo Ran fail to see his thoughts.It's just that if Li Xunchuan wants to go back to Gaodu, he may not be able to retreat unscathed. Now that she is going back with Li Xunchuan, there is no use for her to distract him except to add chaos.But they have only been reunited not long ago, do they really have to make a decision at this time?
Li Xunchuan knew that Zhuo Ran was in trouble, he looked at Wei Xun and said, "We believe what you say, but that doesn't mean we will do what you want."

"The Imperial Army has been taken down now," Wei Xun said, "Does the governor really want to abandon it? Li Chengru has already fled now. If he had colluded with Li Chengru earlier, wouldn't there be chaos when he returned to Gao? Dayu Yi Lord, your lives are but breaths away."

"Nonsense!" Liu Yulin slapped the table, and couldn't help showing anger when he heard this, and said, "Do you think everyone in the palace is a vegetarian? It's so easy for the world to change hands, who will believe it?"

Jiang Rulan also echoed, "What you said is really not true. Your Majesty is also a battle-tested person, so it is impossible for him to be unprepared. What's more, you said that Yan Chengxuan can imprison him, which is too exaggerated."

Wei Xun hurriedly said, "I'm not talking nonsense!"

"I think the same as Zhuo Siye." Jiang Rulan said: "I only half believe what you say. If you say that the purpose of this matter is not only His Majesty, but Yan Chengxuan definitely wants someone to go back to Gaodu."

"You mean that Wen Rongxi?" Liu Yulin asked.

Li Xunchuan curled his lips slightly, and said, "It's not just Wen Rongxi, but also me."

Liu Yulin frowned into Sichuan characters. He didn't quite understand, so he said, "Although the second young master has some problems with the governor, it's not that..."

Zhuo Ran turned sideways slightly, and Li Yunchuan just raised his eyes to look at her.Zhuo Ran quietly turned her gaze back, staring at the water glass on the table for a long time.

Li Xunchuan didn't have the strength to stretch out his hand to hold her, and felt that his heartbeat missed several beats, he couldn't even keep up with the rhythm of breathing, and he even wanted to save his breath.He leaned back for a while, and said softly: "These things are a bit complicated and too many, and I won't be able to say anything for a while, so let's go, no matter if it's the princess or Gaodu, you can't be in a hurry, let's rest first Let's talk about it later..."

Wei Xun could only nod his head.

Tan Zhen didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Now that he heard that he could go to rest, he led Wei Xun down directly, which saved a lot of trouble.

Zhuo Ran looked at Jiang Rulan, and Liu Yulin pulled his sleeves and walked out. Jiang Rulan didn't quite understand, so she kept struggling: "I still have something to say, don't push me!"

"Didn't the governor talk about it for a while?" Liu Yulin tugged at his arm, winked non-stop, and said, "Maybe we all have to go back to Gaodu, let's go back and tidy up first!"

Jiang Rulan said "Oh" after realizing it.

When Wu Song was about to enter the door, he was also pulled out and blocked in the yard to reason.

Zhuo Ran supported the table to stabilize her figure, her hands and feet suddenly became colder, Li Xunchuan touched her hand, and called softly: "Xiaqiu..."

Zhuo Ranhui held him, and moved step by step to Li Yanchuan's side. Li Yanchuan couldn't help but smile, he stood up with the back of the chair, and looked at her gently with downcast eyes.

"I want to sleep for a while, you can stay with me." Li Xunchuan raised his finger and stroked Zhuo Ran's side cheek.

Zhuo Ran buried her head in his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and nodded in frustration.Li Xunchuan felt that he couldn't stand Zhuo Ran leaning on him like this, so he could only smile and pat her on the back, and said, "At any rate, please feel sorry for me, Mu Heng's medicine box is on the small table, just go and get it." ..."

The moment Zhuo Ran raised her eyes, she immediately let go of him, and only then did she realize that Li Yanchuan was injured: "I'm going to find the doctor..."

"Do you dare to go?" Li Yanchuan frowned slightly, and his voice became a little fiercer than ever before.

Zhuo Ran was stunned for a moment, Li Yanchuan seemed to see the wetness in Zhuo Ran's eyes, she lowered her head slightly, Li Yanchuan sighed, could only hold her wrist, and said softly: "It's my fault, just hug it ."

Zhuo Ran put her head sideways against Li Xunchuan's chest, Li Xunchuan was a little helpless, and used all her strength to walk back to the couch.Li Xunchuan fell back on the couch, Zhuo Ran found the medicine box, and stretched out his hand to untie Li Xunchuan's clothes.

"Xiaqiu," Li Yuchuan pinched her wrist, and said, "Don't tell anyone, okay?"

Zhuo Ran said softly "Hmm", brushed his hand away and unbuttoned his side skirt, Li Yanchuan turned his head to face inward, Zhuo Ran pulled off the clothes on his shoulders, and found that the place was purple and blood was not flowing many.

"Hidden weapon?" Zhuo Ran didn't dare to touch it, Li Yanchuan raised his shoulders slightly, and said with a helpless smile, "...it penetrated."

Only then did Zhuo Ran forcefully push his back, pushing him to the side, Li Yuchuan frowned, Zhuo Ran looked at his wound, and remembered what Chang Yinyu had told her about Li Chengru, there was indeed a guy who didn't show up all the time The hidden weapon, the poisoned silver needle.

"Do you know what medicine to use?" Zhuo Ran blinked, took out a few white porcelain bottles from the box, shook them in front of Li Yuchuan, and said, "Or use them all?"

Li Xunchuan couldn't help smiling, and said, "I want the black one."

Zhuo Ran nodded, and wiped his wound with the dry handkerchief.Li Xunchuan frowned slightly, and Zhuo Ran slowed down her movements, but she didn't dare to use too much force, but she suspected that Li Xunchuan was talking nonsense, so she pretended to be wrapped in medicine twice, and when Li Xunchuan fell asleep, she went out to find a doctor.

Zhuo Ran was lying on the edge of Li Yanchuan's couch, looking at him with his hands on his head. Li Yanchuan seldom slept so deeply, but he also seldom relaxed like this.Zhuo Ran played with his fingers, thinking about many things.

Wei Xun won't talk about irrelevant things, because that's how he feels to Zhuo Ran.And Zhuo Ranxin's distrust of him is another way of saying that Zhuo Ran lost a lot because of the former princess. I don't want to be taken advantage of.

She is not so stupid, so stupid that she doesn't know how to live for herself.Zhuo Ran was also afraid that she was the one who should have been buried in the palace a long time ago, and that she was really not Zhuo Ting's daughter.

It's a terrible thing.Zhuo Ran used to be a talented woman in Yongzhou. She was proud of Yongzhou and regarded herself as a person of Yongzhou. Now she is told that her mission is to seize the country and rectify the law. She will definitely not accept it.Obviously Zhuo Ting and Zhuo Yi are so kind to her, obviously that kind of kindness comes from the heart, how could it be a play made for an imperial decree?The purpose is for this day.

If it hadn't been for the battle at Luxi, she might never have entered Gaodu for the rest of her life, and no one else would know this secret, nor would they suspect her.What's more, she wouldn't be so miserable.

But these things seem to be doomed, if she really found the imperial decree, if what Wei Xun said is true, how should she deal with herself?What do you think of Zhuo Ting and Zhuo Yi?
Do you want to believe that they are all forced to be helpless?Or did he admit that this scene of father-daughter love was performed according to the script?
In this world, is there any sincerity?

But obviously, they all love her so much.Obviously Zhuo Ting doted on her so much and protected her with his life, and Zhuo Yi also treated her extremely well, so he just treated her as his own sister...

Is it fake?

Zhuo Ran closed her eyes, hugged Li Yuchuan's arms and buried her head down. There were really not many people around her, and the only one who could treat her sincerely now, and she would go against her in the future.

Is this fate?In fact, if it was Zhuo Ran's life, she would have accepted it, but if it was the life of that Nanxiang princess, she felt that it must be someone's curse, otherwise how could the journey be so rough and bumpy?
She doesn't want to admit it.

But she can only admit it.

***
Wu Song was still watching the heat of the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and boiled it with Zhuo Ran's share.Jiang Rulan and Liu Yulin didn't want to do anything, so they could only get into the kitchen together, and the three of them stared at the small stove in a daze.

The series of news just now made them never come to their senses, but the only thing they can do now is to shut up and pretend to be dumb.

Jiang Rulan saw the peanuts and melon seeds on the chopping board, and sat between the two of them with the plate. Wu Song and Liu Yulin grabbed a handful from time to time, and the melon seeds were spat all over the floor.

"You have the most skin in the sacrificial wine." Jiang Rulan bumped his arm and said, "Remember to clean it up later."

Liu Yulin nodded and said, "Sweep, I'll sweep."

Wu Song's mouth couldn't keep up with their speed, so he grabbed a few peanuts and shelled them, picked up a small cattail fan and fanned the fire, watching the fire grow before sitting down.

"Speaking of which," Liu Yulin cleared his throat and said, "What we just heard are secrets that can be beheaded, right? Does this mean that we are already part of the rebellious officials and thieves?"

Jiang Rulan shook her head: "I don't know."

"Master is not a traitor." Wu Song threw away the peanut shells and said, "Everyone is not."

"What do you know?" Liu Yulin glanced at him and said, "This matter can be big or small, it depends on what His Majesty says..."

Jiang Rulan frowned, and said, "Why do I feel that he is talking nonsense? We have been out of contact for so many days, and we don't know anything about the outside news. What if he is deceiving people and tricking us back to Gaodu, maybe It’s been laid in ambush long ago, just waiting for us to open the way.”

"You..." Liu Yulin just wanted to refute something, but immediately forgot, just paused, and said, "You...you have some truths."

Wu Song looked at them: "Are you planning to go back to Gaodu?"

Jiang Rulan didn't speak.

Liu Yulin thought for a moment, and said: "How can we say that it is not necessarily safe to go back now, and it is not necessarily safe to not go back. There are so many people around Li Chengru, if they are recuperating around before they go far, then we are not Throwing in a snare?"

"Oh..." Wu Song nodded.

Jiang Rulan raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that all right? I'm so angry!"

Wu Song added some water to it, and the concoction stopped gurgling instantly. Jiang Rulan nodded and said, "You can teach me!"

Liu Yulin snorted softly, and said, "By the way, what did the doctor just say? What kind of poison did the governor get?"

Wu Song sat down and frowned: "I don't know, anyway, it's very serious. If it is not treated in time, the root cause of the disease will remain."

Jiang Rulan sighed, and said, "Let's not talk about going back to Gaodu, it will take a while for the Governor to take care of himself."

"No hurry, no hurry." Liu Yulin said, "Didn't Tan Zhen send someone to Gaodu to check on the situation? Wait slowly."

Xiong Zhenghao sent some people out, followed Wei Xun's people to pick up the people living in Luo City, and then planned to help them build houses.Fortunately, Wei Xun was easier to talk to, and he was more reasonable, and he was not ambiguous at all about helping.

As soon as the two of them entered the kitchen, they smelled a strong bitter smell. Xiong Zheng frowned, covered his nose and said, "Don't you smell the smell? Why don't you go out?"

Wu Song said: "I have lived in the orchid chamber for a long time and I have not smelled its fragrance."

Liu Yulin raised her eyebrows: "Hey, do you know this?"

Xiong Zhenghao stepped in and said, "Why do you have two pairs? Who is it for?"

"It's the governor's." Jiang Rulan stood up and said, "If you're injured, drink your medicine well."

Xiong Zhenghao nodded, and sat next to Liu Yulin with Wei Xun. The five of them sat around the medicine group, making the sound of cracking melon seeds from time to time.

"Wei Xun." Liu Yulin said, "You are from Zishatang, isn't Zishatang very powerful?"

"He's a secret guard, why isn't he powerful?" Jiang Rulan sighed several times, and said, "It's just that you are ignorant, so you still have to ask."

Wei Xun smiled and said, "It's okay."

"What's wrong with that scar on your face?" Wu Song pointed to his own face. In fact, he had heard of this scarred face in Gaodu. He had the impression that this person should be a terrifying old man with gray hair. The vicious kind.It's just that I didn't expect that he would be a more handsome young man, if he didn't have the scar on his face.

Wei Xun shook his head helplessly, and said: "Well... something happened when I was young. We used to run a wine shop, but for some reason, people always came to the door every day to find trouble, and our business couldn't survive. Later we I moved to many places, but it was of no use until one day, someone destroyed our shop and killed my parents. Although I escaped by chance, my face was..."

Liu Yulin frowned and said, "Don't you have a master? He didn't help you?"

"At that time, I hadn't met Master yet." Wei Xun said, "It was on the way I escaped that he saved my life. That's why I went back to Zisha Hall with Master."

"Actually, you can wear a mask." Jiang Rulan waved her hand in fear of his misunderstanding, and said, "Oh, I don't mean to dislike you, but I just think you can wear a mask to add some mystery..."

Wei Xun smiled and said: "I was very resistant to this scar before, so I have never really let go of it. When I practice martial arts, it will always be intermittent. Because I am afraid of being ridiculed, I want to cover it up and don't want to see people, but Master forced me to face the reality and didn't teach me kung fu until I saw the scar without any emotional fluctuations."

Xiong Zhenghao nodded. He actually didn't expect Wei Xun to be so frank, but since he was a secret guard, he definitely wouldn't hide anything.What he said may be true.

He patted Wei Xun on the shoulder and said, "Where is it ugly? I think it's very manly! Who doesn't have a few scars on his face yet, I think this scar has personality and looks good!"

"Did you drink, so drunk?" Liu Yulin glared at him.

Wei Xun didn't say his scar was ugly.

Xiong Zhengmo shut his mouth, Wei Xun smiled, and said, "It's nothing, but I'll see if the governor is with the princess..."

"You just noticed it?" Liu Yulin blurted out, "You...you're a little slow in reacting."

Wei Xun frowned slightly, and said, "But, the governor is a friend of His Majesty today, so he cannot be with the princess."

"What did you say?" Liu Yulin's eyes widened, and he said, "We Xiaqiu haven't admitted that we are princesses yet, so don't take your seats directly, if we break them up, don't you think I..."

"I don't hear what you said..." Jiang Rulan cut off his words decisively, and said, "I also heard that you were planning to match Si Ye and Yan Ershao. It's changed to the governor? Do you know what your name is? It's called grass!"

"I want you to mind your own business!" Liu Yulin picked his nostrils and said, "I am willing to do this!"

"Okay." Xiong Zhenghao said: "Don't talk about it, the governor and Si Ye are inseparable. Even if Si Ye is really the princess of the former dynasty, we are the only ones who know about it. It's fine if we don't spread the word." .As for Wei Xun, if you want to restore the country, it depends on whether the master is willing or not. If Si Ye doesn't want to reignite the flames of war, can you still force him?"

Wei Xun shook his head and said, "Of course the master's will is more important..."

"We are now grasshoppers on the same rope," Liu Yulin said, "If something really happens in the future, remember to be more merciful. After all, we all lived and died together."

Jiang Rulan smiled contemptuously: "You just do..."

Xiong Zhenghao smiled and said, "Actually, it's pretty good. Si Ye is now safe with the governor. What you are going to do is too dangerous. You should think about it again."

Wei Xun nodded and said: "If it's really not beneficial to the princess, we will naturally give up. But what I said is true, Yan Chengxuan has already grasped the situation in Gaodu, and he really has ulterior motives, so we want to stop him!"

Xiong Zhengwei sighed slightly, and said: "This...we don't count, it depends on what the governor wants."
