Chapter 161 Entering the Urn
Zhuo Ran was not the same as before, Li Yuchuan understood what Zhuo Ran was thinking, but no matter how much he weighed the pros and cons, they would always lose something.

"I used to think that I had lost enough things, so much that I didn't know if it was what I once had. Maybe everything I have is insignificant in the eyes of others." Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes, " But Chi Yue, they brought me into the world without asking my wishes, which is unfair to me. Ever since I knew Queen Yu Jing arranged these things, I have always wanted to get rid of the fate she gave me, but I didn’t show it, I let myself become crazy, I killed Li Chengru in such a paranoid manner, and cut off the clues to the truth of the Luxi war, I don’t feel regretful.”

Li Xunchuan would not feel the same, because Zhuo Ran was different from others, she could be crazy, she could pretend to be harmless, but she was completely exposed in front of Li Xunchuan.But Li Yunchuan didn't think it was difficult to say, on the contrary, he was lucky to see Zhuo Ran's side that would not be exposed to others.

But always too dangerous.

"There is no need to separate Beili and Zhongqu. I stay in Yongzhou. If I can take the three states of Yongxintu as I wish, there will be no hidden dangers in Beili to the west of Wuming Mountain. You need to subdue the ten ancient Qiang tribes. You have to see this man-made chaos subside, so you don't have to worry about me, once the plan is successful, Dingbei Pass will be an excellent dividing line, a dividing line that belongs exclusively to you and me."

Under the light of the flickering candlelight, Li Xunchuan held Zhuo Ran's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely take down the ten tribes of the ancient Qiang, and seek justice for you and Beili."

Zhuo Ran touched his little finger: "Now I have Zisha Hall, you, and Uncle Zhou. I will not back down. I am running for the throne. When the time comes, I will stand at the top hand in hand with you." , I just want to be with you."

"I will help you take down Gu Qiang." Li Yanchuan smiled slightly, "Xiaqiu, I will give you these as a betrothal gift when the time comes, and you can only belong to me."

Zhuo Ran nodded slightly, and said softly: "Let's see, who will marry who first?"

Li Xunchuan touched her cheek, leaned over to kiss her, Zhuo Ran looked sideways, and Li Xunchuan smiled.Zhuo Ran touched his knuckles: "By the way, when talking about the dowry, I thought about the money. Didn't I tell you before that I knew the key to the Yan family's money bank? Now there is a problem, that is, those money banks They are relatively scattered, and there are quite a lot of them in Suicheng. I was thinking, should I let Wu Song go to Suicheng, and I want to ask Mu Heng for help."

"Mu Heng?" Li Yanchuan frowned, "She's just a little girl, and she only knows how to do medicine. Do you think she can help you?"

"Second Lord, don't underestimate Mu Heng." Zhuo Ran said, "Mu Heng's master is in Nanjiang. I heard that he is a very powerful person. Nanjiang is separated from our Dayu by the Nanshan Mountain, and it is not under our control. Mu Heng is in Nanjiang. She has been there for a long time, she must know how to handle things. Besides, we have no one we can trust now except her."

Li Xunchuan sighed, and said: "Ye Ji and I came out of Gaodu together that day. If we had known earlier, we should have abducted Tian Wuruo and Fu Sisi, and let them take their crimes and make meritorious deeds."

"Sister Fu and Celestial Master are both involved in the game," Zhuo Ran said softly, "We are friends with them, how can we use the word "deserving crime and making meritorious service"? Besides, there are still some things between me and Sister Fu that I haven't explained clearly. If they did come, I would feel uncomfortable."

"You're just making excuses." Li Yuchuan said softly.

"I haven't." Zhuo Ran dragged his tone, shook Li Xunchuan's hand and said, "Chi Yue, to be honest, I think it's a good thing that Tianshi and sister Fu didn't follow, don't you think Tianshi Kind of weird."

Li Xunchuan shook his head.Zhuo Ran said: "I heard that Fu's elder sister is called Tianshi Acheng. If Tianwu is not his original name, he is called Fu Cheng. Tianshi is a child picked up by the old Tianshi. Although I don't know what happened to Tianshi before. Whatever happened, I always thought he was very mysterious, a little mysterious."

"I don't know much about Tian Wuruo," Li Yuchuan said, "Actually, four years ago, when he promised Fu Sisi to save your life and let Concubine Lan be the middleman, I thought this person was so annoying. I feel that I shouldn't do that, but it's because of Fu Sisi's words."

Zhuo Ran smiled: "I remember your expression at that time, Chu Shiyu questioned my father's private seal, I want you to say a word, just say a word for me, I don't have to be dragged away to talk for a while It’s beheading, but later it’s called death with a stick.”

"I was wrong..." Li Yanchuan lowered his eyes, "I don't know if it's right to push everything on you alone, but I was just thinking that people in the world urgently need an explanation and a result... If it is now, I must I will take you away without hesitation, no one can take you away from me."

Zhuo Ran nodded: "Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?"

"You are the person I want to remember all my life." Li Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "I saw a poem in your notebook, once the sea was too difficult for water, except Wushan is not a cloud."

Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yuchuan: "When did you see it?"

Li Xunchuan said, "A long time ago."

Zhuo Ran pulled Li Yanchuan closer by the hem of his clothes, and said softly: "So Chi Yue, if you meet a golden branch and jade leaf next to you, if you dare to be tempted for a moment, I will not easily let you go, and I will not let her go either. "

"Are you asking your wife to be your husband's guide?" Li Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.

"I gave you all your money," Zhuo Ran lowered his voice, "Such a request is not too much."

Li Xunchuan's arm rested on the back of her neck, Zhuo Ran took his strength and moved closer, Li Xunchuan rubbed against the tip of Zhuo Ran's nose, traced the outline of her lips with his thumb, and stuck to Zhuo Ran's lips as if wanting to refuse or welcome, Another touch and split, as if waiting for Zhuo Ran to take the initiative.

Zhuo Ran didn't move extra, the eye feathers lightly brushed Li Xunchuan's cheeks, a little itchy.Li Xunchuan curled his lips into a smile, Zhuo Ran squeezed his hand and said softly, "Second Master, you haven't forgotten something serious, have you?"

Li Xunchuan gave a soft "hmm".Zhuo Ran's smile didn't reach his eyes, and he pushed Li Xunchuan away suddenly. Sure enough, the moment the two separated, the door was kicked open with a "bang".

Li Xunchuan got up immediately, Zhuo Ran was still sitting on the chair, only turned around slightly when he heard the sound, and only smiled when he looked at the person in front of him.Zhuo Ran folded her arms on her own, and said softly: "I thought I would come earlier, when is this?"

"Are you that Zhuo Ran?" The man was dressed in night clothes, with a cloak covering half of his face, but his voice was unusually deep. Although he looked like a young and strong man, Zhuo Ran always felt that he might be older than Zhou Yu.

Li Xunchuan stood beside Zhuo Ran, Zhuo Ran smiled lightly: "Yes, what's the matter, are you going to tie me up to see your master?"

"Of course not." The man crossed his arms, "My master just wants to know if this Princess Nanxiang is real."

Zhuo Ran stood up: "I've been here for so long, why don't I meet you once. You are not your master, so what you say doesn't count."

"As long as the princess is willing, my master will definitely sweep the couch and treat her." The man said in a deep voice, "But my master said that he only sees the princess, and the rest should not be taken with the princess."

Zhuo Ran gently pressed Li Yuchuan's hand behind her back, and said, "Since you are here, I will go with you. I just hope you can understand one thing, don't hurt the innocent, otherwise I won't be like this Peaceful."

"That's natural."

Zhuo Ran turned around, Li Yanchuan looked down at her, Zhuo Ran climbed onto his shoulder, and bit his lips lightly, Li Yanchuan frowned slightly, pinched Zhuo Ran's chin and kissed him deeply.Zhuo Ran stood on tiptoe, Li Yuchuan bit the byte in the kiss and said to her: "Wait for me."

Zhuo Ran gave a soft "hmm", Li Yunchuan let go of Zhuo Ran, and kissed her on the forehead again, then reached out to the hanger to pick up the cloak and wrapped it around Zhuo Ran's body.

The man felt that he shouldn't be here, so he turned around consciously.Li Xunchuan pointed to Gu Songyin, Zhuo Ran squeezed his hand and shook her head, and while Li Xunchuan was tying her belt, she said softly, "You can just find Wei Xun."

Li Xunchuan nodded, then leaned down and hugged her before turning her around.Zhuo Ran took a step forward, but the man stepped back: "Princess, don't get too close to me."

Zhuo Ran frowned: "Then you back off, I'll go first."

***
Zhuo Ran got into the carriage, and the man seemed to have come here alone.It was fast night in winter, Zhuo Ran saw that the carriage was tightly locked up, as if she was afraid that she would escape, she coughed lightly twice, this place where Nie Hanshan lives is not a hidden and expensive place, it is not like this Be careful.

Zhuo Ran had already thought about a lot of things, and after seeing Nie Hanshan, he had to try to send a message to Suicheng when he got back, but he just hoped that Mu Heng would not run too fast.Although it is not necessary to ask for Mu Heng's help, there are still Jiang Rulan's friends in the Suicheng post house, in fact, you can use Jiang Rulan's face to borrow favors.But it takes time.

The man drove the carriage for a long time before knocking on the door to let Zhuo Ran get out of the carriage.Zhuo Ran wrapped her cloak tightly and jumped out of the carriage, only then did she realize that the place where Nie Hanshan lived was indeed extremely luxuriously repaired, and the wood was illuminated by the light, and it was not cheap just by looking at it.The man brought Zhuo Ran into the building, and a fresh fragrance came over his face.

Zhuo Ran thought the scent was quite pleasant, but there was no incense burning in the house.The floors are built very high, and the staircase is in the center, reflecting the style of carved beams and painted buildings.The General's Mansion was not so luxurious, Zhuo Ran frowned slightly.

There are quite a few people serving, and they all have tattoos of various flowers on their faces. Even the maids are dressed like flowers and jade. Zhuo Ran thinks that these people look similar to the people in Beiyuan.But don't you feel tired of seeing such beauties all day long?
The man asked the maid to guide Zhuo Ran upstairs, and said he was going to change clothes.Zhuo Ran walked up the stairs, only to find that these scents were everywhere. The maid saw Zhuo Ran looking around, and said: "This scent comes from the spices that are spread in the house every day. The girl came late. The scent is a little off."

"Paint the house with spices?" Zhuo Ran smiled lightly, and added the second half of the sentence self-servingly, "In fact, it's better than incense."

The maid arrived at the third floor and led Zhuo Ran to the corner. Zhuo Ran said, "Who was that man just now? Although he looks very young, he is not young."

The maid bowed her head: "Miss, please forgive me, I have no comment."

"Alright." Zhuo Ran nodded, she glanced at the brightly lit room, and said, "But since you asked me to talk about something, why didn't you see your master?"

Just as she was talking, the maid squatted down slightly towards Zhuo Ran, Zhuo Ran glanced sideways, then smiled with her lips drawn.

"Thought you were going to talk to me inside the house."

***
Wind Breath Pavilion.

Ye Ji had nothing to do today, so she left the big tent early, and saw Wan Ze leading the soldiers to train, so she looked sideways.Wan Ze didn't notice Ye Ji, and it took him a long time to find her.

Ye Ji was still holding the letter from Li Yuchuan in her hand. The letter told Ye Ji to keep a close eye on Ye Wei and not to give Gaodu an opportunity, but this was not the most important thing, and Ye Ji frowned tightly. Yes, it is what Li Yuchuan said about Nanxiang.

After all, the letter couldn't explain the whole story clearly. Li Xunchuan just mentioned that Nanxiang was by his side now, and now he wanted to attack Gaodu and support Nanxiang to become the new emperor.

Ye Ji naturally knew the rumors about the former princess, but this former princess was already too old.From Nanhuan to the two generations of the Chu family, and now Emperor Taiping, the matter of Nanxiang should have been buried a long time ago. It is useless to bring it up at this time. If you can't sit on the throne, you can't become an emperor.Ye Ji didn't know how Li Yanchuan did it, he was able to find Nanxiang after staying in Yongzhou for a while, and he was easily abducted into the ditch by this person.

Did Li Xunchuan forget Chu Shiyu's lesson from the past?If this person is put on the throne, and there is another scene where Lord Hou enters the capital and becomes the governor, will Li Yanchuan be able to accept it?She needs to carefully consider this matter, Ye Ji sighed deeply, she couldn't figure it out, and even suspected that Li Yuchuan was threatened to say such a thing.What exactly happened, Li Xun Chuan picked something unimportant to say, it was a waste of time.

Wan Ze looked at Ye Ji: "General, what's the matter with Lord Hou?"

Ye Ji shook her head: "It's nothing. Anyway, he didn't understand what he said. Now that Emperor Taiping has just been established, he wants to drive Yan Chengxuan down before it has any effect. Although Yan Chengxuan is not expected to be an emperor, he must first The matter of Xiqi and Beili will be settled."

Although the battle in Xiqi was not as severe as in Beili, Xiqi often had small battles. They were rebels who disturbed people's peace. Ye Ji could play with them for two days, but Li Yanchuan could not.Beili is the closest to Gu Qiang, so it is not difficult for Gu Qiang to really plan to take Beili. Li Yanchuan is taking his time now, and she is worried for him.

Wan Ze frowned: "I've also heard the rumors about that Princess Nanxiang, but that princess doesn't have much reputation. If Lord Hou wants to support Princess Nanxiang, will it be a little..."

"What does that little bastard know?" Ye Ji rolled his eyes, "I was afraid that he was really bewitched by people. I didn't believe the rumors in Gaodu that he was hanging out in the land of wind and moon all day long...but I really want to see how that Princess Meicheng of Nanxiang can make Li Yuchuan so fascinated that she can't tell the priority."

Wan Ze fell silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him." Ye Ji sighed deeply, "Are those rebels still surrounding the Wind's Breath Pavilion?"

Wan Ze nodded: "Yes. General, we were going to launch a surprise attack last night, but you suddenly withdrew the order. Why? Last night was actually a good time."

Ye Ji sighed and said: "I know last night was a good time, but a surprise attack is not an advantage for us. The number of rebels is not small, we shouldn't delay it for so long, but I just want to stay longer in the Wind Breath Pavilion For one, I don’t want to go back to the palace.”

"Is it because of Concubine Yan?" Wan Ze looked up at her, "General, you are actually very good to Concubine Yan, and she must not have any malicious intentions. If the General wants to, he can still befriend Yan Guifei. Now that Lu It's not surprising that Concubine Yan has the idea of ​​committing suicide, but now that she has come to Xiqi, she may not feel well in her heart."

"How much favor did you receive from her to say such a thing?" Ye Ji looked at her sideways, "Wanze. She and Yan Chengxuan are biological siblings. They have a good relationship. Isn't my relationship with my sister not good? She is now in Xiqi, I didn't do anything to her because of my sister's request. This is already very kind. I can let her stay in Xiqi well, but I will never forgive her. I want her to repent because of her sister. "

Wan Ze sighed silently.

"I don't care what she thinks, and I don't care what Li Yanchuan thinks," Ye Ji said in a deep voice, "Xi Qi doesn't need to be involved in these things at all. From the day my sister married Chu Shiyu, it seems that all of this is destined Understand."

"General," Wan Ze said, "I am thinking that perhaps what Lord Hou said is feasible. As long as Yan Chengxuan does not become emperor, as long as he does not harm Xiqi's interests, Princess Nanxiang is indeed the best candidate. Although this Nanxiang We don’t understand the princess, but Lord Hou will not misjudge people, and he will not let Beili be bullied by the ten tribes of Gu Qiang. Lord Hou is the same as the general, looking for the right time for everything. Maybe the general didn’t see this opportunity, but Lord Hou already knows, we can take the risk."

"I know what you mean." Ye Ji said, "It's true that Ah Yang will not give up on Beili, I just don't understand that Princess Nanxiang must have made some kind of deal with him, otherwise she wouldn't easily change Ah Yan's mind. I'm really worried about him..."

Wan Ze smiled: "The general has always liked the ever-changing changes on the battlefield, why don't you want to do this this time? Maybe this time is a good opportunity?"

Ye Ji looked at Wan Ze: "You don't talk much on weekdays, but today you have unique insights, Wan Ze, I didn't misread you."

"I've been following the general for so many years. Don't say anything else. I still know a thing or two about what the general is thinking. I will follow the general well until the day when there is hope."

Wan Ze raised her eyes, Ye Ji nodded at her, and turned her eyes back to those soldiers.
