Chapter 141 Accident
Yuzhou.

Zhuo Ran has never been here before, only heard Zhuo Yi talk about the scenery of Yuzhou in the past, saying that there is a red plum forest here, and when the snow falls, the plum fragrance can fill the whole Yuzhou.

There is only one tree planted in the courtyard of the General’s Mansion in Yongzhou. In winter, it will stretch out its branches to poke into Zhuo Ran’s window, and it will always bring some wind and snow in, so Zhuo Ran will continue to be windy and cold. But she especially likes the red plum tree, In desperation, Zhuo Yi could only keep the window and added a screen to block it. If Zhuo Ran wanted to see the flowers, he could only stand in front of the window for a while.

Wei Xun explained it when Zhuo Ran asked about it.They didn't take the road in Dacheng County. They walked southwest from Los Angeles, bypassing the unnamed mountain and going directly to Yuzhou. Although the journey was saved a lot, they just couldn't see the scenery.

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "It's useless to go there before the red plums bloom. It's better to go to Yongzhou earlier."

Wei Xun agreed.The weather in Yuzhou was fine, Zhuo Ran didn't take off his cloak, but covered it tighter. Wei Xun also worried that Zhuo Ran would not be able to bear it after driving for days, so he found an inn to rest temporarily.

Zhuo Ran didn't completely let go of what happened before.Since Li Xunchuan returned to Gaodu, he must make a decision, but she couldn't predict the outcome of this kind of decision.She came to Yongzhou not only to find out what she cared about, but more importantly, she wanted to find Peng Ge and Zhou Yu.Wu Song said that Zhou Yu and Han Congzhong went west. She held a sliver of unrealistic hope, hoping that her wish would come true, and she also hoped that it would not be so.

Wei Xun went out to look around and found nothing strange, so he hurried back.After all, Zhuo Ran was a woman, so he didn't dare to cross the line and ask about things that were difficult to talk about. He watched the medicine boiled before sending it to Zhuo Ran.

When he knocked on the door and entered, Zhuo Ran was sitting on a chair in a daze, the room was brightly lit with candles burning, but Zhuo Ran was a little thin and lonely.

"Miss, take the medicine." Wei Xun put the medicine in front of Zhuo Ran, saw her pinching the red string on her wrist, and just nodded numbly when she heard the sound. She raised her eyes to look at Wei Xun, and said softly Thanks.

Wei Xun lowered his head, Zhuo Ran stopped him when he was about to go out.

"Wei Xun," Zhuo Ran sat up straight, looked at him and said, "It's all right now, tell me about Yongzhou these years."

Wei Xun turned his head, sat opposite Zhuo Ran, and said, "Okay."

Zhuo Ran was holding the bowl, the heat came over her, and her cold hands gradually warmed up. She pinched the handle of the spoon and stirred it a few times, smelling the bitter smell and frowning slightly.Wei Xunquan told her a story, watched her drink the medicine and said, "Yongzhou has been a temporary refuge these years. Although Yongxintu Sanzhou was occupied by the ancient Qiang people at that time, the Beili army was also injured. They didn’t have the energy to manage the vitality of the ancient Qiang in Yongzhou, and it became chaotic over time. Many people came to live, and the ancient Qiang people didn’t care too much. I heard that many people escaped after the war. Logically speaking, it should be There is no danger, we can go with confidence."

Zhuo Ran couldn't swallow the bitter medicine, so she put down the bowl and looked at Wei Xun, and said, "I'm not worried about the danger. I'm afraid that after a long time, the general's mansion is abandoned and dilapidated, and it may have been occupied by other people long ago." , I am also afraid that they will be vigilant, if this is the case, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

"Young lady, don't worry." Wei Xun said, "Although we are scattered, the news is relatively concentrated. I heard that the general's mansion also has some agencies, so others naturally dare not break in easily."

Zhuo Ran rubbed her forehead. Recently, her thoughts have always been so confused. She suddenly forgot what she had thought about before. The closer she got to Yongzhou, the more she felt something was wrong. In fact, it wasn't the so-called upset, it was just a little uncomfortable.

Can't tell the feeling.

When she was a child, Zhuo Yi liked to tell her about the organs in the general's mansion. Zhuo Ran was smart enough to learn them, and Zhuo Yi would study them together with her, and would reform them from time to time.At that time, the General's Mansion was not a safe place, and there were many Xiaoxiao who came to make trouble, so Zhuo Ting designed these.

But he didn't expect that Zhuo Yi would bring Zhuo Ran to play these games together. Although he reminded them many times, just play and don't hurt your own people, but it was useless. Later, he could only let his brother and sister come here, sometimes I'll give a little pointers from the sidelines.

Zhuo Ran recalled the slightly warm time before, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up a little. Those days are really worth keeping in memories, and they will be happier and sweeter after a long time.Because if you can't go back, you can't get it, you can't touch it, and you will cherish it even more.

Wei Xun looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Miss, drink the medicine, it's almost cold."

Zhuo Ran came back to his senses, and then responded with a smile.Wei Xun closed the door and window intimately before going out. Zhuo Ran sat on the side of the couch holding the medicine bowl. It's cold, but I just miss Li Xunchuan a little bit, she hopes to go faster, she wants to see Li Xunchuan soon.

Some grievances.

The red candle burned out, and Zhuo Ran specially replaced it with a short candle before going to bed. Now that it was dark, it seemed particularly quiet.In this quiet and gloomy night, Zhuo Ran was rarely trapped by a dream.

It was obviously the General's Mansion that she had dreamed about before, but she just couldn't get out. She walked the Qingshiban Road many times, bypassing many familiar places, and finally stopped in the study.

Zhuo Ran wanted to push the door open, but no one answered when she called, and she couldn't open it even if she bumped into it. Zhuo Ran sighed deeply, and could only walk to the window and try to get in.It seemed that someone was trying to lure her to the window, just like a dream last time.

Zhuo Ran pushed open the window, but there was no one from last time in the study. After the wind drifted in, she escaped quietly. Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, put her fingers on the window sill, closed her eyes and thought carefully, what did she see last time? Who is that figure from behind?

Is it Fan Siqiu?Zhuo Ran shook his head, Wei Xun said that Fan Siqiu was probably still dormant somewhere at that time, and would not appear so early, besides, it might just be a dream, Zhuo Ran was very awake, but he was only awake in a dream.

She tried her best to see who that person was, but she heard someone calling her name behind her, Zhuo Ran turned her head, and that person was Li Yuchuan.She was a little surprised, Li Yuchuan smiled gently at her, but Zhuo Ran was already in tears.

"Why are you crying?" Li Yuchuan stretched out his hand towards her.

Zhuo Ran shook her head, but the next moment she saw Li Xunchuan suddenly fell in front of her, and behind him was Zhuo Yi holding a bloody knife.Zhuo Ran's eyes widened. Before she could say the word "brother", she felt that Zhuo Yi had arrived in front of her as quickly as possible, and put the knife across her neck.

Zhuo Ran looked into Zhuo Yi's eyes, although it was strange and cruel that he had never seen before, Zhuo Ran climbed onto his arm and called out softly, brother.What followed was the familiar feeling of suffocation, Zhuo Ran didn't struggle anymore, and when he could take a breath, he opened his eyes, and what he saw was still darkness.

The soft pillow was already soaked, Zhuo Ran wiped away the wetness hanging from the corners of her eyes, and half propped herself up, only to realize that she was shivering slightly because of the cold, Zhuo Ran exhaled slowly for a long while, touched the bowl of cool water in the dark After drinking the medicine, he buried his head in the quilt and continued to sleep.

***
Li Xunchuan thought that Zhuo Ran was already fast asleep, so he temporarily left that place in his heart for Zhuo Ran.But he was still worrying about Gaodu's affairs, and the light came from nowhere, outlining the desolate outlines of the tall trees, and the shadows affixed to the night sky looked like a painting.

Looking at the deep night scene, he sighed involuntarily, and when he looked back, he found Wen Rongxi standing behind him. He frowned slightly, and looked at him incomprehensibly: "Why don't you rest so late?"

Wen Rongxi's figure looked weak in the night, Wen Rongxi didn't answer Li Yanchuan's words directly, he just looked at Li Yanchuan and shook his head, saying: "I and the governor are worried about the same thing."

Li Xunchuan smiled lightly, he didn't move, just stood on the spot, he said: "Yan Shu, are you really not connected with Yan Chengxuan?"

Wen Rongxi said softly: "Didn't the governor ask me about this a long time ago? Could it be that the governor has become suspicious of me?"

Li Xunchuan didn't speak, he leaned against the tree trunk and looked at Wen Rongxi, wanting to hear him continue.Wen Rongxi took two steps forward, looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "This is not the most important thing. Governor, now that General Ye Ji is here, the goal is bigger, and you should also think about what we should do."

"You should be clear that we have only two choices." Li Yanchuan looked away, stared at one place and said, "One is to wait for Yan Chengxuan to rush out, and the other is to rush into Gaodu by surprise and take the initiative. But you Also understand that the results of these practices require your assurance."

Wen Rongxi lowered her eyes.

Li Xunchuan slightly clenched his lips, and said: "Yan Shu, although we don't have a deep friendship, I won't influence your thoughts. I just hope you can tell me if you and Yan Chengxuan have any plans? Once the war starts, it will not only It's the business of a few of us. So many people have followed us through life and death, and you have the heart to take them into the fire pit?"

"The governor doesn't doubt me anymore." Wen Rongxi didn't show any expression, and Li Yuchuan didn't want to look at it, he said, "You are sure."

Li Xunchuan said, "I didn't say that."

Wen Rongxi sighed softly, and said: "Forget it. The governor is actually right to think so. My return this time is indeed controversial. I will not find excuses to clean up my crimes, but I will not admit it. If the governor does not trust me, Just leave me here before carrying out the plan, or...kill me once and for all."

"Kill you?" Li Yanchuan pursed his lips, "I'm not capable of that."

Wen Rongxi smiled regretfully, and said: "Second Young Master always does things on a whim. If I were by his side, I would definitely not let him do it at this time. This will push me into the abyss instead, and it's really not worth it. "

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly: "Actually, I think it's okay, at least I'm not so crazy and suspicious, and now I can talk to you calmly here."

Wen Rongxi looked at Li Yuchuan: "The Governor is right."

"It's getting late, go and rest." Li Yanchuan walked to his tent, and Wen Rongxi followed him back to the tent.

Li Xunchuan found his place and lay down, took out a small bell from his waist, Wu Song gave it to him at noon, said that Zhuo Ran gave it to him when he was in Suicheng, and he never had a chance to return it, and he Also lost the bell spring inside.Li Xunchuan felt that it was useless, but he was reluctant to throw it away, and there was still a sense of satisfaction in holding it in his hand.

Li Xunchuan tossed and turned without falling asleep, thinking about Zhuo Ran all the time.At dawn, he was finally able to get up to hide his thoughts, and temporarily suppress his thoughts with other things.Ye Ji got up early, and when she saw Li Yuchuan, she smiled at him.

When the two arrived at the stream, the water was cold in the morning, and Li Yuchuan was suddenly awakened. Seeing that he had washed his face with ice water, Ye Ji frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Didn't sleep at all.Li Xunchuan sighed, shook off the drops of water on his hands, and said, "It's nothing."

Ye Ji rewrapped the armbands on her wrists, bit the rope and looked up at Li Xunchuan, seeing his sad face, she didn't open her mouth to trouble him again.Ye Ji moved a little bit, Li Yanchuan looked at Ye Ji sideways, and said, "I talked with Wen Rongxi last night."

"He recruited?"

After asking, she regretted it.If Li Yuchuan was recruited, he wouldn't be so worried, but if he didn't, he wouldn't be so worried.Ye Ji cleared her throat, Li Yuchuan shook her head.

"Let's rush in directly." Li Yanchuan said in a deep voice: "It's better to take the initiative by relying on Yan Chengxuan to consume his patience. In fact, we don't care about the people in Gaodu City. If we can save one, it counts as one."

Ye Ji said, "Have you decided?"

Li Xunchuan looked at her: "Doesn't it also depend on your wishes?"

Ye Ji smiled and said, "Ah Yu, you weren't so courteous before, how did you know you listened to my opinion this time?"

Li Xunchuan felt the drops of water falling from his forehead from his side cheeks to his neck, and his collar was wet. He ignored it, but said: "Because we are all in the game, when I become a layout person, I naturally don't care about it." Need your opinion."

Ye Ji glanced sideways at Li Yuchuan, it seemed that this boy hadn't completely forgotten what he was supposed to do, nor had he forgotten what he was like before.She has also seen the majesty of Champion Hou, and has never had a different opinion of him because he has been a governor since entering Gao. This is her respect for Li Yuchuan.

And Li Xunchuan always treated her as before, which was enough to make her gratified.Li Xunchuan has not changed, he did not do anything out of the ordinary, just told himself over and over again who he is and where he should be.

Ye Ji nodded solemnly at him: "Of course I agree."

Li Xunchuan didn't show any smile, and said, "It starts tonight."

"it is good."

***
Fu Sisi marked a few places on the map outside the city, Luo Ling watched with a frown, and Tian Wuruo said something from time to time, asking her to draw crosses in some places.

Luo Ling didn't quite understand, but he didn't dare to ask.

Fu Sisi pointed at the woods outside the city with her fingertips and said, "Here."

"I think so too." Tian Wuruo frowned slightly, and said, "But there is a problem. Yan Chengxuan, who we can think of, must be able to think of it. Now General Ye Ji probably has met with the governor, and we need to get in touch with them as soon as possible. .”

Fu Sisi said: "Didn't Yan Chengxuan also send someone outside the city? He hasn't made a move for a long time. Could it be that he already knows where the Governor and the others are and plans to do it directly?"

Tian Wuruo pressed her hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry. It's a good thing that he knows, so that his thoughts are all outside the city, and naturally there will be less surveillance on us. A few days ago he sent People are following us, and he must know where Luo Ling went and what he did, so we can't be in a hurry now."

"I also know not to be in a hurry." Fu Sisi looked at Tian Wuruo and said, "But since the governor is back, Xiaqiu must be by his side, I want to see her protect her, I can't let her get hurt again."

"I know what you're thinking." Tian Wuruo comforted her, and said, "Since we know what to do, we won't let her get hurt again. Besides, the Governor and General Ye Ji are by Xiaqiu's side, she There will be nothing wrong."

Fu Sisi nodded, turned around and said to Luo Ling: "The actions during the day are really ostentatious, why don't I go to the city wall with you tonight to have a look."

Luo Ling shook his head and said, "I can't do it, the jailer. The most I'm being followed is to make other people suspect that I'm doing something wrong, but you can't. You and the Celestial Master are the people Yan Chengxuan fears the most, so I can't take the risk now."

"Luo Ling is right." Tian Wuruo said, "You can stay here with peace of mind, don't worry about this, Luo Ling can go, and I can find ways to protect her, but you must stay in the mansion well, do you hear me? ?”

Fu Sisi was held by Tian Wuruo, she hesitated for a long time before saying yes.

Tian Wuruo sighed, and said: "Take a break during the day, I have a hunch that tonight will be restless."

Time has dragged on for too long, and this seems to have become a battle of patience, and it depends on who loses patience first and rushes to make a move.Yan Chengxuan doesn't need to worry too much, Yan Yingzhen is old, it is obviously impossible to become a powerful figure again, Yan Chengxuan is not married, basically he has no worries, but Li Yuchuan is different.If Zhuo Ran was by his side, Li Yanchuan would have one more person to worry about, and he would still be thinking about Beili, these are all constraints.

But he didn't know that these things were no longer a bondage to Li Yuchuan.

A person will always make some changes, just like growing from a baby waiting to be fed to a talented or slim adult, the change in appearance is second, and the more important thing is the change in mood and cognition.They grew up in a different environment, or they have a prominent family background, a scholarly family, a modest gentleman like Wen Rongxi, or a literati and politician with high morals and foresight like Xu Zheng. Without these, they will be mature and stable on the contrary. Li Xunchuan.They have all become different, but they were all high-spirited and handsome young men.

Tian Wu is like a celestial master, but it cannot predict all possibilities.He cannot foresee the future, for all men are futures.The so-called prophet is just that he has determined the development trend of these things. In fact, this is inconclusive. He just didn't predict that Yan Chengxuan would force the palace, nor did he predict how Li Yanchuan and Ye Ji would take measures to rescue His Majesty. It can't be blamed. He is incompetent.

There is nothing that can see the end at a glance.

Tian Wuruo took a deep look outside, but he really couldn't see the side.
