last time

Chapter 183
Zhuo Ran got up early, and Li Yunchuan was also a light sleeper. He grabbed the man's wrist and sat up. Before he could speak, Zhuo Ran put his arms around his neck and hugged him.

"It's still early," Li Yanchuan said, seeing that it was still gray outside the window, "Why don't you get more sleep."

Li Xunchuan touched the man's back, Zhuo Ran shook his head, and murmured in his neck and said, "Yesterday was my fault, I should help settle the matter before resting. Wei Xun still..."

"I asked Gu Zhao and the others to watch Wei Xun, so you don't have to worry." Li Yuchuan rubbed her temples and said softly, "He Xi will definitely play tricks on the official roads of Tuzhou when he returns to Tuzhou. At this time, we need to find a way to hurry up." Hurry back to Yongzhou, I am afraid that Uncle Zhou and Songzi will not be safe in Yongzhou."

Zhuo Ran slightly sideways eyes: "Before I go back, Nie Hanshan will definitely not dare to touch them. He Xi will not dare to attack Yongzhou rashly when he returns to Tuzhou. Big loss."

Li Xunchuan nodded, he smiled and said, "So, we can't give him any chance."

"It's just," Zhuo Ran raised his head, "He Xi can't die like this. I want to ask some questions to make him die well. He Xi's collusion with the ancient Qiang people must not only be to occupy these places, we have to investigate clearly."

"I'll listen to you." Li Yuchuan hugged him tighter, "By the way, why didn't Zishatang come to help this time? How could Wei Xun not be injured if he fought alone like this."

Zhuo Ran shook his head: "We can't blame Wei Xun. Before we went to Tuzhou, people from Zisha Hall had already rushed there, but after we arrived, Zisha Hall suddenly lost contact with Wei Xun. Time was running out. Wei Xun and I didn't pursue it. But Wei Xun is injured now, and I don't know whether I should let Zishatang... After all, Zishatang is not what I want him to do. If I do something wrong, these people How can I let them carry this for me when life is breathed?"

Li Xunchuan touched the back of her neck, and Zhuo Ran said softly: "Chi Yue, before in Gaodu, whether it was Yongniang, Shengan or those innocent 56 jailers, their deaths were an inescapable nightmare for me. I can Pretending to be nothing, it is because I know that I will pay my life one day, so it doesn't matter. But it's different now..."

Everything happens for a reason.Zhuo Ran was terrified that she would die, because Li Yanchuan would suffer because of this, but she could only watch and could do nothing.Zhuo Ran had done so many things, Zhuo Ran deserved to die, but Nan Xiang, who lived in Zhuo Ran's body, could only bear it silently, and finally lost his soul because of this, for the so-called atonement.

Do you regret it?In fact, I don't regret it. The death of these people made Zhuo Ran want to escape this fate of being dominated by others, so he would go in the direction of Li Yuchuan, which is salvation.The flowers in the abyss don't yearn for the light, because the darkness is not scary enough.

"Xiaqiu." Li Yanchuan knew what Zhuo Ran was going to say, but he didn't allow Zhuo Ran to indulge too much in these things, but it was Zhuo Ran or Nan Xiang, what he liked and what he loved was always just this person, nothing more.

"Purgatory on earth, bitter seas and yellow springs," Li Yuchuan thought for a while, "these are not terrible. My hands are also full of blood, and those who should be killed or not should not be killed, it doesn't matter now. Regret can't change anything, as long as You and I are together, whenever and wherever, there will only be flowers blooming like brocades. Do you know that the ark is full of ambitions, and the ark is full of bliss[1]?"

Zhuo Ran nodded slightly.

"That's all right," Li Yanchuan said, "I am your soft armor, anyone who wants to hurt you has to pass me first."

"You can't say it like that," Zhuo Ran couldn't help laughing, she leaned on Li Yuchuan's shoulder, "I didn't promise to marry you, now what I said doesn't count."

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly, but his smile added a bit more. He pulled Zhuo Ran off his body and squinted at her: "It's not me who hates the married woman. It's useless. Here is a gift for you, if you say this now, then you will be exempted."

"Don't..." Zhuo Ran shook his head, Li Yanchuan smiled with downcast eyes, got up and searched for a while from the bundle he brought, and showed Zhuo Ran a puppet rabbit.

Li Xunchuan walked back to the couch, Zhuo Ran took it with both hands, and Li Xunchuan took it into his arms.Zhuo Ran raised her eyes and looked at Li Yuchuan: "You have to snatch the children's toys too, I'm afraid the prince and princess won't agree."

"Yi'er has been calling to see the bride," Li Yuchuan said, "This is considered a meeting ceremony. Besides, my brother-in-law also wants you to go back with me as soon as possible. I'm too excited. How could I not agree?"

Zhuo Ran pinched the rabbit's ears, and she paused before saying: "Actually, Yong Niang also made me a rabbit sachet, and I promised her to help her find her kidnapped daughter, but I don't know when." to be realized."

Li Xunchuan pinched the man's chin: "Zhuo Xiaqiu, why are you thinking of something else?"

Zhuo Ran was forced to look up, she smiled helplessly: "My fault."

Li Xunchuan bowed her head and kissed her, Zhuo Ran didn't hide, she let go of the puppet and consciously hooked Li Xunchuan's neck with both hands, she changed a comfortable position, Li Xunchuan pressed the back of her neck, Zhuo Ran hummed lightly, Li Xunchuan slightly hugged her Let go: "Zhuo Xiaqiu, from now on you can only think of me, understand?"

Zhuo Ran looked at him blankly, and Li Yanchuan stroked her cheek: "With me here, you will not be affected, you will always be my Li Yanchuan's."

"It's natural," Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes, "I will always be yours."

Li Xunchuan hugged him tightly, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Choose a time, when will you go to Tuzhou."

Zhuo Ran closed her eyes: "No hurry. The New Year is coming soon, I want to be with you, let these things go, I'm really, really tired, and I really miss you."

Li Xunchuan nodded: "Okay, we'll talk about these things after your birthday is over."

***
Wei Xunchen woke up for a while, when Gu Zhao and Xiyu were still talking about the forbidden army.Although the casualties this time were not serious, they were all losses to the imperial army. If they wanted to help the Yuzhou garrison, they must not mix the imperial army with them. They had to think of a new way.

Wei Xun closed his eyes and listened for a long time. Xiyu accidentally noticed that Wei Xun moved, and then realized that Wei Xun was already awake.The few of them had never met, Wei Xun frowned when he saw them, Xiyu explained to him for a long time, and then he saw that Wei Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're seriously injured," Gu Zhao said, seeing that he was about to get up, "It's better to lie down and rest first, otherwise the wound will open and it will be very troublesome to heal in winter."

Wei Xun said softly, "Where is the girl, how is she?"

Xiyu said: "Siye is fine. The genius is bright, I guess I just woke up now, if you want to see her, I'll go and call her."

Gu Zhao looked at Xiyu: "If you are not afraid of being scolded by your master, would you go now?"

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment.Wei Xun also knew what he meant, so he could only shake his head.The three of them looked at each other, when they heard Li Yunchuan and Zhuo Ran knocking on the door outside.

Gu Zhao went to open the door, Zhuo Ran was tightly wrapped by Li Yanchuan, Li Yanchuan grabbed Zhuo Ran with his right arm, and entered the door together.Wei Xun was about to get up, Zhuo Ran shook his head slightly at him: "Don't move, I just came to see you. How are you feeling now? If you still feel uncomfortable, I will ask the doctor to come over."

Wei Xun said softly, "Girl, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Take good care of your wounds these days," Li Yuchuan walked to Zhuo Ran's side, looked down at Wei Xun, and said softly, "Gu Zhao and Xi Yu are my guards, if you have anything to say to them, we will Stay in Yuzhou for a while, and let other things go for a while."

Wei Xun nodded slightly, then looked at Zhuo Ran: "Girl, over there at Zisha Hall..."

"Before you communicated with them, leave it to me now." Zhuo Ran said, "I will also protect Zisha Hall for you, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you girl."

Zhuo Ran shook his head.Wei Xun looked at the clothes on the hanger, and said softly, "Girl, I have something in my sleeve pocket for communicating with my elder brother. You can tell when you see it."

"En." Zhuo Ran nodded.

Gu Zhao took out something from Wei Xun's sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhuo Ran, Zhuo Ran took it with both hands, she sighed: "This time I was negligent, Wei Xun, I'm sorry."

"Protecting the girl is the responsibility of the Zishatang, and the girl doesn't have to worry about it." Wei Xun thought for a while, and felt that it was not appropriate to say such words.Zisha Hall is not meant to protect Zhuo Ran, after all, there is Li Xunchuan now.

He paused, Zhuo Ran smiled slightly: "Heal your wounds well, I will deal with some matters with Lord Hou."

Li Xunchuan said: "Xiyu stay here, Gu Zhao, you come with me."

"Yes."

Gu Zhao closed the door and planned to follow Li Yanchuan, but found that Li Yanchuan had been leading Zhuo Ran, and he was embarrassed to follow behind, so he could only slow down and dragged them for a long distance.

Zhuo Ran touched Li Yanchuan's left arm: "Does it still hurt? It was still bleeding when I changed the dressing just now."

"If you don't move, it won't hurt." Li Yuchuan wrapped her hands together to warm them, and said softly, "Don't worry, as long as you don't pester me to do bad things, I can get better faster. "

"You..." Zhuo Ran turned her head, "It's really unreasonable to talk, I wasn't the one who pestered you last night, who said you can't sleep if I don't hug you, Master Hou will really shirk responsibility .”

"You don't like it?" Li Yanchuan bowed his head.

Zhuo Ran hid in the past, she gently pushed Li Yanchuan away: "Don't touch me again."

"That can't be done." Li Xunchuan raised his eyebrows, no matter how shocked and exaggerated Gu Zhao's expression was, he still took Zhuo Ran into his arms, wanting to hold onto his waist and walk together.

"Li Chiyue!" Zhuo Ran called out in a low voice, "It hurts here."

Li Xunchuan rubbed her for her, lowered his voice and said, "Take a good look for you later."

***
Wei Zhuang thought that people would get up later, but he didn't expect that Li Xunchuan and Zhuo Ran came together as soon as he ordered the kitchen to cook.Meng Weidao was still clearing up the previous bills, and when he saw people coming, he went up to meet them with Wei Zhuang.

"Did Hou Ye and Princess rest well last night?" Wei Zhuang looked at the two and smiled slightly.

Li Xunchuan said, "It's okay."

Meng Weidao ordered someone to bring new tea, and led Li Xunchuan and Zhuo Ran to sit down.Just now Wei Zhuang was discussing with Meng Weidao how to speak so that Li Yuchuan and Zhuo Ran felt that they were not frivolous and did not agree to these things for the benefit of the moment. Now that they came, they felt that the speeches prepared in advance were nothing at all Use, the brain is almost blank.

Zhuo Ran showed shame: "My lords are very sorry. I didn't think carefully this time. I didn't communicate with your lords in advance, which surprised your lords."

"Princess, you don't have to do that," Meng Weidao shook his head, "Wei Xun will be injured only if Yuzhou's strength is not strong. Originally, Master Wei and I wanted to go and see Wei Xun, so the two of you came here."

"Wei Xun's injury can't be blamed on the two adults," Zhuo Ran said. "He's fine now, and he'll be fine in a while. It's just that it's my responsibility to let He Xi escape this time."

How could Wei Zhuang dare to let Zhuo Ran admit his mistake like this? After only talking to Li Yanchuan for a few words last night, he secretly swore that he would never provoke Zhuo Ran again. Will let them go.

Wei Zhuang looked at Meng Weidao as if asking for help, and Meng Weidao understood immediately. He changed the subject and said, "Of course I will remember the orders of Lord Hou and Princess, and leave other matters in Yuzhou to us. Lord Hou also said last night. There are many things, about Yuzhou and Beili, I think I have to talk to the princess in detail."

Li Xunchuan cleared his throat and said, "The matter of the Yuzhou garrison has not been completely resolved yet. Gu Zhao and Xiyu are familiar with this matter, and they can assist Master Meng. As for the Yuzhou refugees...Xiaqiu, just tell me." explain."

Zhuo Ran paused, and said: "If Yuzhou's grain depot is sufficient, it is indeed sufficient, but it is a bit difficult to afford the army's salary in the front line of Beili. In addition, the refugees sent by He Xi are a huge problem for Yuzhou. The new year is approaching and the weather is getting colder. This matter needs to be resolved urgently. I have silver in my hand, and I have been thinking about whether I can buy grain from Xiqi. Yongxin Tu Sanzhou is also a good foreshadowing."

"Go to Xiqi to buy food?" Meng Weidao thought for a while, "Princess, Xiqi is just like us now. If we want to do this, someone must spend a lot of time in it."

"Leave the Xiqi matter to me, and I'll talk about it." Li Yuchuan said, "I defected with Ye Ji, and the border is close to us. If there is any problem with Jun'an, we can help as soon as possible. Ye Ji is not unreasonable." , I'm sure."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "I'll give the key to the Silver Treasury to Mr. Wei."

Wei Zhuang raised his eyes: "Princess..."

"Master Wei, we are very grateful that Yuzhou can take the risk. This is what we should do," Zhuo Ran said warmly. "It is naturally the best to help Yuzhou now."

"Dare to ask the princess, this silver..."

Meng Weidao frowned. Although he was very happy that Zhuo Ran was able to help with all his money, if the money came from wrong sources, Yuzhou would absolutely not be able to use it.No matter what position he is in, right way is his priority.

Zhuo Ran understood what he meant, and said, "Master Meng, don't worry, the money came from the right place. It was the Yan family's money bank that I accidentally found out about when I was in Gaodu. The two gentlemen don't know the situation in Gaodu at that time. The business line collapsed because some people took it privately. Yan Ershao is now the emperor, and the bank that was originally handed over to Wen Rongxi is now in my hands. Although the money is always said to be not mine, they don’t need it now. I see that Emperor Taiping has not moved, so I guess he doesn't care about these things, so he just uses it for me."

Meng Weidao nodded.

Zhuo Ran said: "Naturally, the money will not only be used in Yuzhou. The Beili Army wants to change their weapons, so naturally they need to use better irons. I will give the other half of the money to Lord Hou. I don't know the rest. Do you have any doubts?"

Wei Zhuang secretly sighed that Zhuo Ran was really rich.In fact, Zhuo Ran only revealed the bottom line.It has to be said that Zhuo Ran felt that the Yan family's money bank was like a bottomless pit when she was in Gaodu, and the money bank she got was just the tip of the iceberg.As for now, she not only has the Yan family's money, but also all the savings of Zishatang over the years.

Zhuo Ran smiled lightly, and Li Yanchuan turned his eyes to Zhuo Ran. He really did not expect that Zhuo Ran was so rich, even more powerful than he imagined.It seems that what I said last time was really just a little bit.

Meng Weidao said: "We naturally believe what the princess says. Since Yuzhou has received favor from the princess, he will definitely try his best to protect the princess. Please rest assured."

Zhuo Ran shook her head: "Although Yuzhou has said that it has not been controlled by others for so many years, it has been silent for a long time. At this time, Yuzhou helped me, and it is also a kindness to me. Xiaqiu thanked you both."

Seeing that Zhuo Ran was about to get up, Wei Zhuang hurried to Zhuo Ran with Meng Weidao.Wei Zhuang said anxiously: "Princess is serious..."

Zhuo Ran stood up straight, Meng Weidao and Wei Zhuangchao took a step back, Zhuo Ran said softly, "You two will have to work hard in the future."

Wei Zhuang let Zhuo Ran sit down after talking about it, and Meng Weidao was also relieved when he saw this.The big stone in Wei Zhuang's heart fell to the ground temporarily. At first, he thought that Zhuo Ran would be even more difficult to speak when he had Li Xunchuan, but now it seems that Li Xunchuan didn't want to lose Zhuo Ran so he said that.But it was also because of this that they felt that Zhuo Ran and Li Yuchuan were not joking, they were really serious about doing something, and this matter could only end successfully.

It is impossible for there to be any cracks in the relationship between Beili and Zhuo Ran.But the Xiqi mentioned just now made Meng Weidao feel a little uneasy.There is Xiao Fengwang in Xiqi, who is Xiao Fengwang, he is the best at making wishful thinking, and he may not agree to Li Yuchuan at this time.

Ye Ji defected, Xiao Fengwang didn't do anything, and he didn't know whether he agreed or was helpless. Although it was said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, Xiao Fengwang was different from others, he was so hard-hearted towards Ye Baiqi and Ye Lanyi , How could such a person do such a useless thing - Zhuo Ran has nothing that Xi Qi can use.

Meng Weidao sighed deeply.Zhuo Ran also thought of these things when she heard Li Yanchuan talk about Xiqi. Although she told Li Yanchuan about it, she never had a clear way.Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yanchuan, Li Yanchuan didn't seem to have any worries, he crossed his legs, put his injured left arm on the table, and held a delicate teacup in his right hand, feeling very leisurely.

Noticing that Zhuo Ran was looking at him, Li Yanchuan raised his eyes and smiled: "What's wrong?"
