Chapter 190
Li Xunchuan turned his head to look at Zhuo Ran, glanced at her neck, and said softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Zhuo Ran didn't answer but asked instead: "Did you know the situation in Tuzhou long ago, and you only brought such a few people here?"

She didn't look behind, but just looked at Li Yuchuan's expression, and found that he just pursed his lips and smiled, Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "How do you know?"

Li Yuchuan said softly: "How would I know, I just don't want to bring too many people as targets. If I have any clues, can I not tell you? But...you ask, why do you seem unfamiliar? With some blame."

"I'm afraid that you will take another risk without telling me," Zhuo Ran sighed helplessly, "but since you said it's fine, I'm not afraid anymore."

Li Xunchuan reached out and grabbed Zhuo Ran's arm and shook it gently: "Okay, don't think about these things when you're almost in Tuzhou, the most important thing is to grab He Xi and ask what you want to ask clearly at once. .”

"But how can it be so easy?" Zhuo Ran said, "I'm not questioning you, do you really think these people can deal with the ancient Qiang people in Tuzhou? I'm still not at ease."

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Think about it, if there are more ancient Qiang people in Tuzhou, to be precise, there are more soldiers, then He Xiding must have tried his best to win Yuzhou last time." Yes, but he didn't do it. In fact, if I didn't feel the scene, he would not be able to break into Yuzhou. I believe in Wei Xun and Gu Zhao's ability. So now, I take a gamble, There are not many ancient Qiang people left in Tuzhou, as long as you find the right time, you will surely win."

"No matter what happens, don't be brave." Zhuo Ran paused for a moment, "I didn't think it through before, but now I think it through. I can fail to achieve my goal and bear these so-called crimes, but you no."

"Of course I know what you're thinking," Li Yanchuan squeezed Zhuo Ran's wrist, "so I won't lose, for you, I will win for you every time I say anything. Not only in Tuzhou, but also in Guzhou in the future." Qiang Beili, I will definitely give you the best."

Zhuo Ran stroked his finger bones: "Ah... As long as you are always by my side, I don't think everything is so important. Except for you, I can't think of anything that I need to protect with my life."

She used to feel that her life needed to be protected by herself.Zhuo Ting's matter involved a lot, like unfounded rumors swept across the sky, and almost no one involved survived.She has always wanted to rectify Zhuo Ting's name, but step by step, she finds that everything is not as simple as she imagined, it is not the kind of simple framing, it is more like a game, a script has been written long ago, A drama where everyone is acting step by step, everything is becoming more and more unfamiliar to her, everything that she thought when she was young has changed now, and there is nothing left.

You can't believe what He Xi said, but you can't believe it either.Zhuo Ting and Empress Yu Jing have too many doubts that need to be solved, and they cannot generalize or leave them alone. This is disrespect for the previous events.Zhuo Ranyue wanted to find out everything, but felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the truth. The answer was like a knife hanging around her neck. It would be fine if it fell, but now Zhuo Ran doesn't know when it will fall , I don't know why it fell down.

Li Xunchuan gradually developed a habit of observing Zhuo Ran's mind, which was not counted as observation, just looked at Zhuo Ran without saying anything, and wondered what she was thinking right now.There were some deviations from Zhuo Ran's thinking before, but now it's different, since Zhuo Ran exposed his weakness in front of him for the first time, because the matter of Kang Sheng'an and Yong Niang almost tortured him to death, and then gradually let go of his heart, Zhuo Ran Ran has never confided to him the so-called liking and so-called love. It is not easy to get Zhuo Ran's love expression, but Zhuo Ran has been telling Li Yuchuan with actions that she accepts it.So step by step, little by little, now he just looks at Zhuo Ran, and he can know what she is thinking in her heart. He knows Zhuo Ran's emotions, and he will react to comfort her immediately, but this is far from not enough.

It is impossible for him to stay by Zhuo Ran's side anytime and anywhere, all the previous things become meaningless in front of them.He didn't want Zhuo Ran to be distracted by other things, and he didn't want her to be distracted by things he shouldn't have to bear. It was really unfair to him.But Li Xunchuan would not say it out, he would feel that it was unfair because he regarded Zhuo Ran as his most important person, and that importance was sure that Zhuo Ran would not lose weight easily, so he did not feel wronged and sad, but enjoyed it , found another pleasure there.

"What are you thinking?" After Zhuo Ran finished speaking, Li Yanchuan seemed to be in a trance, watching Zhuo Ran motionless, "What's wrong with you, Chi Yue?"

Li Xunchuan came back to his senses: "It's nothing. I just thought of some things before, although I still have some doubts, but it's okay now, everything has been resolved."

"If you're tired, just lean on me and sleep for a while." Zhuo Ran stroked him, "Chi Yue, I can ride a horse now, and I won't throw you off."

Li Xunchuan buried his head in her neck and smiled: "Of course I know you won't throw me off, but I just want to hold you for a while, can you not talk?"

"Okay." Zhuo Ran pulled the rein, and Zhu Shi walked unhurriedly.

Walking this way was like playing along the way, Li Xunchuan didn't rush on the road, but taught Zhuo Ran all the marching speed.Zhushi seemed to know that Zhuo Ran was afraid of fast speed, so he walked steadily all the time. Li Xunchuan rubbed on Zhuo Ran's side neck for a while, then closed his eyes.

Not long after, Zhuo Ran patted Li Xun Chuanhuan's hand around her waist.

"What's wrong?" Li Yanchuan asked hoarsely before raising his head.

Zhuo Ran's voice was light: "Could something have happened in Tuzhou City? Why are they all ancient Qiang people? And these common people, what are they doing?"

Xiyu came back from the back of the team, Li Yuchuan straightened up and looked towards the gate of the city, frowning slightly.Xi Yu nodded slightly: "Master, something happened. They said He Xi is dead."

"Dead?" Li Yanchuan looked at Xiyu.

Zhuo Ran asked anxiously, "How did you die?"

"It is said that he was attacked in the middle of the night and killed with a knife." Xiyu said, "At this moment, many people gathered at the gate of the city, but they were all stopped by the ancient Qiang people. I can't say a few words to them, and I can only use force to solve it, and I'm still wasting there."

"Attacked?" Zhuo Ran said, "How could He Xi be attacked if his skills are not bad? I don't believe he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself. There is something wrong with this."

"This subordinate also thinks the same way." Xi Yu said, "It's just that I overheard it just now. The specifics will only be known when we enter Tuzhou City. By the way, Zhuo Siye... um... some of them still When I mentioned you, it was said that Si Ye killed He Xi in order to avenge him, but they said it was a good kill, and they have long since disliked He Xi."

Zhuo Ran sighed: "Whether I did it or not, all I know now is that my clue is broken again."

Li Xunchuan gently stroked her hand, and said, "Don't think too much, maybe it's just a rumor, as you said, He Xi is so powerful, how could he be killed so easily. Let's go in and have a look. ,do not worry."

"Yeah." Zhuo Ran nodded slightly.

"Xiyu, are there still many ancient Qiang people at the gate of the city?" Li Xunchuan raised his eyes and asked.

Xiyu nodded: "There are a lot of people. But it is strange that none of He Xi's subordinates can communicate with the ancient Qiang people. I just saw a few familiar people who are still at the gate of the city, mingling with the people and wanting to leave the city."

"It's not surprising that there is still a chance for them to go out of the city now." Li Yuchuan said, "Let's wait and wait for the opportunity."

However, before the opportunity that Li Yanchuan said came, there was a sudden commotion inside, and they mixed with the common people and caught the ancient Qiang people by surprise.Seeing this, Li Xunchuan rushed over with his people, Zhuo Ran stayed where she was, and she only sighed heavily as she watched the situation of the city gate from afar.

What Li Xunchuan didn't expect was that the leader would be a woman, that woman was unrestrained and fierce, and came straight to Li Xunchuan. Although there was no contact, Li Xunchuan could tell that she was helping him.

"Who are you?" Li Yuchuan turned his horse and ran to her side, asking in a low voice.

The woman glanced sideways at Li Yanchuan: "Zishatang!"

Li Xunchuan's pupils shrank suddenly.Unprepared is enough to describe the situation of the ancient Qiang people at that time. Li Yanchuan really didn't try too hard, and the ancient Qiang people could no longer hold on. When the people in Tuzhou saw that the ancient Qiang people were captured, they gave up the idea of ​​escaping.Someone recognized Li Xunchuan's evilness at a glance, raised his voice and roared, and everyone looked at Li Xunchuan in unison, and in the loud voices, each sentence became more and more obvious "Champion."

Zhuo Ran breathed a sigh of relief in the distance, but when he saw a woman standing beside Li Yanchuan, he immediately clamped the horse's belly and rushed towards Li Yanchuan.Before Li Xunchuan had time to ask the woman a word, he almost felt Zhuo Ran galloping towards her. He stepped forward and gently hugged Zhuo Ran, pulling Zhuo Ran closer.

"Run in such a hurry?" Li Yuchuan supported her waist, "Aren't you afraid?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head, she turned her head to look at the woman, but saw that the woman did not speak, but just glanced at herself, and said helplessly, "What kind of big man did I think Wei Xun found? Little Jiao Niang, look at this appearance, what kind of Princess of Nanxiang are you?"

Zhuo Ran immediately reacted: "When did the people from Zisha Hall dare to talk to me like this?"

"I always have."

"No wonder Wei Xun obeys your advice," Zhuo Ran sneered, "It turns out that he is such an ignorant person. You are a good brother, and I almost believed that you are the extremely annoying person."

"You can't say that." The woman looked up at Zhuo Ran, "I sent the letter, but you didn't receive it. Don't blame me, it's very unfair."

Zhuo Ran looked at her: "What's your name?"

"Sykin."

***
Effortless.Li Xunchuan didn't find the feeling yet, the matter was over, Zhuo Ran followed Sai Jin to look at He Xi's body carefully, Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "Why did you kill him, this person is very important to me."

"How can you take Tuzhou so easily without killing him?" Sai Jin looked at Zhuo Ran, "If He Xi is still here, the ancient Qiang people will definitely occupy this place, it's better to let him die, and you can go find him later. .”

"He has a lot of things that he hasn't explained clearly, and you have no chance of winning if you act rashly!" Zhuo Ran frowned slowly, "He Xi knows a lot of things, and it would be a loss to me if he died like this..."

"But we made a mistake in passing the news, and I don't know what you think. Besides, what He Xi knows must be known by others. If you want others to know, unless you do nothing." Sai Jin said, "Things will always be resolved. It’s okay, don’t worry too much.”

This is the truth, but Zhuo Ran is still a little unhappy.But now she can't show it, but she doesn't think it's blaming Sai Jin, after all, these things are not in her hands.

Zhuo Ran turned her eyes: "You... are completely different from Wei Xun."

"Why do you want to be like him?" Sai Jin said, "I managed to make him special before, but who knew he would become so submissive when he met you. I also heard about your affairs in Yuzhou, Wei That kid Xun likes to be brave, but then again, why didn't Wei Xun come with you? What about others?"

Zhuo Ran paused for a moment before saying, "Wei Xun was injured a little, and he is recuperating in Yuzhou City."

"Oh." Sai Jin said, "But you are very strange, you really believe that I am Sai Jin from Zisha Hall. If I am not, you are not afraid of trusting the wrong person and doing the wrong thing."

Zhuo Ran couldn't help smiling: "You are more real than real, Sai Jin, I really never thought that Wei Xun's eldest brother would be you."

"You trust me so much the first time we met, it seems that you are not as weak as you appear on the surface." Sai Jin looked at Zhuo Ran, "I like you very much, and I will follow you in the future."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows: "Okay, now take a walk around He Xi's mansion with me, and talk while walking."

Sai Jin was taller than Zhuo Ran, and when it snowed outside, Sai Jin opened an umbrella to cover Zhuo Ran, she walked very slowly, He Xi's mansion was very big, and there were many courtyards, the bluestone slabs were slippery when snow fell, and Sai Jin was empty Holding Zhuo Ran's arm, she tilted her head to look at Zhuo Ran's side face.

Wei Xun had told her about Princess Nanxiang's beauty. In fact, it was an illusion that she was unkind and not easy to show her emotions. She was not the ultimate beauty, but she was more temperamental than ordinary women.But Zhuo Ran's face did reach her heart, so Sai Jin took a few more glances.

"Where have you been these few days?" Zhuo Ran said softly, "When Wei Xun and I were here, we tried to send messages to you, but there was no news. What happened?"

"Oh," Sai Jin regained her senses, she said, "I don't know what happened, it was fine before. We arrived here after you and Wei Xun left Tuzhou, and I should have arrived earlier than you , but encountered some things on the way, so it was delayed."

Didn't hear Zhuo Ran's response, she continued: "Actually, it's okay, it's not a big deal. I wonder if Her Royal Highness still remembers the military advisor who was with General Zhuo Ting back then?"

Zhuo Ran nodded: "However, I don't remember clearly. I've always wanted to find him, and I think this person will definitely be of help."

"Don't," Sai Jin shook his head, "don't ask him for help, he is Nie Hanshan's trump card now. I brought people to go around from Yongzhou, because I knew you and Wei Xun went to Tuzhou, and I I didn't want to meet He Xi either, so I took a long detour, but I didn't expect to meet that military adviser on the way, who deliberately disturbed the audience and caused me to delay for a long time."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "Have you met him?"

"No." Sai Jin said, "He doesn't show his face, and only uses his own experience to confuse Zishatang. Speaking of which, this person is really interesting. Knowing that I won't be easily baited, he played it a few times. He has insight into people's hearts. It can be seen that his ability is a talent."

"Whether it's a talent can't be explained by you just talking about it," Zhuo Ran said. "You haven't met him, how do you know that he disturbed you? Besides, even if you are a talent, don't you just hang out with King Hanshan now?" Well, it's not a good thing for us."

Sai Jin smiled: "His Royal Highness has to see good and bad things. As for why I know he is the military adviser, isn't it because Zishatang is well-informed? I asked someone to check Nie Hanshan earlier, so these things are not enough Strange."

"You are very organized." Zhuo Ran said, "Whether Nie Hanshan is a good person or not remains to be verified, but I now understand that He Xi and Nie Hanshan must be related, and they definitely have something I don't know about."

"He Xi is related to Nie Hanshan?" Sai Jin shook his head, "I don't know about that. It is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Since Nie Hanshan is going to be the king of the mountain, how could He Xi be willing to kneel down? For people like them, being superior is the most important thing.”

"That's a pity." Zhuo Ran picked up the hem of her skirt, "He Xi and Nie Hanshan have some similarities. When I return to Yongzhou, I must ask Nie Hanshan."

"Didn't Her Royal Highness reach an agreement with Nie Hanshan?" Sai Jin followed Zhuo Ran up the steps, and she put away her umbrella and said softly, "What are we going to tell Nie Hanshan when we go back this time? I heard that Her Royal Highness still has relatives here. Yongzhou, are you really worried about them staying there? Nie Hanshan is not a good person."

Zhuo Ran looked back at Sai Jin, she smiled softly: "I'm not a good person, if he dares to do something, I will definitely not let him go easily. Besides, he asked me to kill He Xi, I have done what he said, and he can't go back on his word. Otherwise, he will be thousands of times worse than He Xi..."

Sai Jin looked into Zhuo Ran's eyes. What she said was gloomy and cold, but her face was still gentle and kind. Few people can be able to hide their emotions and anger. No matter what happens, there is always a change in expression There were some flaws, but Zhuo Ran was different. From the very beginning, she felt that Wei Xun's description was not quite right, and she felt so at this moment.Zhuo Ran looked at her sideways: "...But Saijin, Zishatang is not an organization that plays with intelligence, why do you know these things so well? Or, Zishatang has changed its mission these years?"

"Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles." Sai Jin said calmly, "There are still many unexpected things for Her Royal Highness. But now, let's think carefully about how to deal with the following things."

Zhuo Ran motioned her to put down the umbrella, she turned around and said, "There is no need to deal with this matter, just let it take its course."
