Queen Flower

The sky is getting late, and the stomach has long been singing the empty city plan. People and horses are exhausted. It is not far away to go to Yuncheng. So whether to enter the city or not to enter the city?

The advantage of entering the city is that you can find an inn, eat and sleep well, and then supply all kinds of needs. The disadvantage is that if the wanted notice is already posted on the city wall, the four people will find their own way.

The advantage of staying overnight in the mountains without entering the city is that it is relatively safe, but the disadvantage is that there is no food or drink.

The three looked at Jiang Lan and asked her what she meant.

Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what to do now, but if you don't enter the city, why don't you have to hide in the mountains all the way?"

Xia Henqiu asked, "Do you have any goals you want to go to?"

Jiang Lan nodded, "I want to go to Ningcheng."

Xiao Yan rode his horse over, "Are you going to defect to your aunt?"

"Where did my aunt come from? I'm looking for my master." Jiang Lan said, seeing Xiao Yan's face, and after a while, she remembered that she once said that Ning Cheng had an aunt, but he still remembered it now. It's tragic to say it so casually.

"So, that's also a lie to me? What cousins ​​and cousins ​​are all bullshit?" Xiao Yan said lightly, and then the topic changed, "I don't talk about it in advance, you can explain it to me later, the top priority, we still have to go to the city. ."

Yan Zhan also stood beside her at this time, and said calmly: "I also think we should go to the city now, prepare the things we need, and cover up our whereabouts. I can get lucky tonight. Yes, it won't be easy to get into the city again." He glanced at Jiang Lan, then paused and said, "It would be better to find some more clothes."

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Lan, only to realize that there were sporadic red spots on her white robe, all of which were blood splatters, but the most important thing was that the skirt didn't fit properly, and her chest was too tight. Now that he has been fighting and fleeing all day, the fabric on his chest has been torn, and half of it is faintly white, delicate and moist, attracting attention.

Jiang Lan hadn't found out until now. Now that the three people's eyes fell on his chest, he was shocked to realize that he was half-baked, but what could he do if his clothes were torn? There was no clothes to change at all. Take off the clothes of any of the three of them. Wouldn't it be even more strange to enter the city for a while.

Jiang Lan covered his hands, "It's okay, so let's go to the city now."

Xia Henqiu tore off a piece of clothes and handed it to Jiang Lan. "Cover it up."

Jiang Lan covered her face with her clothes. According to her experience in Yuncheng two years ago, she still had to cover her face, otherwise she didn't know what would happen.

Now that it was settled, the four of them immediately ran towards Yuncheng. When the city gate was closed in Tianhei, he entered the city smoothly. Sure enough, the wanted order has not been posted at the city gate. I don’t know if the person delivering the letter from the post station has not arrived yet, or the officials here are negligent in their duties, ordering the order down. It's good news anyway, at least it's safe tonight.

The four entered the city. Under the leadership of Xia Henqiu, he went straight to the Chu family to stay as a guest. This is the senior club of the Chu family with relatively few staff. Moreover, the shopkeeper inside knows Xia Henqiu, and there is no more suitable place than here.

It was already dark, so the four of them did not attract the attention of Yuncheng people, although a major event happened in the capital today. But there were no telephones in ancient times, and everything in Yuncheng was the same as before. The lag of this kind of information transmission can allow the four convicts to appear in the public. If such a big thing happened in modern times, it is estimated that only by taking refuge in the embassy in Beijing can escape the pursuit of the police.

The four entered the Chu family's guest residence, the shopkeeper personally greeted them, and the second took their horses away.

The shopkeeper didn't care about the clothes and behavior of the four of them, and went straight to Xia Henqiu to bow down and bowed with gratitude, "Thank you for Xia's kindness to the Chu family, Xia Xiangruo has something to do, but according to the instructions, you must do it when you stay in the guest house. Come, and never refuse."

Xia Henqiu glanced at Jiang Lan, who was standing aside, and said, "I wonder how your son has been doing recently?"

There was a sad look on the shopkeeper's face, "My son's body is gradually recovering, his legs are good, and he can walk slowly down the ground, but..." He gave Xia Henqiu another salute, "It's just that the death of my wife has hit the son too hard. , I still can't get out of it until now, I implore Xia Xiang to give you a chance to enlighten the son, the Chu family is very grateful."

Jiang Lan gently stroked the chain on his chest with his fingers, turned his face and said nothing.

Xia Henqiu's face was solemn at this time, "Actually, I'm not Xia Xiang anymore, the four of us are now imperial criminals, and it is estimated that a wanted notice will be posted tomorrow, so I have to trouble the shopkeeper for one night, we will be early tomorrow morning. Go, it won't cause trouble to the Chu family."

The shopkeeper's face was surprised, and he quickly returned to normal. Only then did he carefully look at the three people behind him. There was indeed blood on his clothes, and it really was a crime. He nodded slightly, "Xia Xiang, don't worry, have a good rest tonight. , I'll talk about it tomorrow, and the villain will bring food and clean clothes to everyone in a while."

Xia Henqiu whispered in his ear what he needed, and asked him to help buy it together. It is night now, and only people knock on the door in the middle of the night to buy and sell, and it will be too late to delay it until tomorrow.

The shopkeeper left as agreed.

The Chu family really appreciates Xia Henqiu, so the houses on the second floor are all first-class rooms, with four rooms facing south, Jiang Lan in the third room in the middle, Xiao Yan and Yan Zhan on both sides, Xia Henqiu in the farthest. The first room outside is convenient for contacting the shopkeeper.

At this time, the four of them all gathered in the first room, waiting for dinner while continuing the unfinished conversation in the woods.

Xiao Yan had already said that he would never leave, and he did not come to say goodbye to her after traveling thousands of miles. Jiang Lan had no choice but to look at Yan Zhan.

Yan Zhan sat in front of the window, got acquainted with his slender legs, and tried the epee with a towel. This was his most loyal partner for more than ten years and accompanied him in countless battles.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Actually now, I've already lost my family. Life and death have long been irrelevant. What joy in life and fear in death." He turned to look at Jiang Lan with a touch of pain and sadness in his eyes, "It's just I miss you, you and I are married, and in my heart, you are my wife, and this is a fact that can't be changed."

He turned his face to look at his sword, "Now, are you going to abandon me? I have no relatives, I have nowhere to go, and I may end up on the guillotine."

Xia Henqiu was amazed, Yan Zhan suddenly became smart, he no longer acted arrogantly this time, he actually knew how to show weakness, I don't know if it was because of this prison disaster or because of Jiang Lan.

Xiao Yan's face trembled on the side, he didn't think that a Zhennan general would have nowhere to go if he left Aman, how could he be so weak and shake the sky north and south, this is just bullshit. And what did he say, that they got married at church.

Xiao Yan interrupted him, "Aman, what he said is true, are you really married? Are you married to him?" He tightened his face, if he really married him, then Xiao Yan From then on, Yan Zhan and Yan Zhan were at odds with each other. He hated his wife. He had to kill him and make Aman a widow and remarry.

Jiang Lan had a headache, and Sima Jin was really a scourge. She held her forehead and didn't want to answer this question, but the eyes of the three were staring at her, and it was impossible for her to muddle through.

Yan Zhan's eyes are full of hope, as long as she admits this fact, she is his wife.

Xia Henqiu didn't know the details, maybe it was psychological resistance.

Xiao Yan's face already had murderous aura, and the Hengyue Dao seemed to resonate.

Jiang Lan sighed, "Hey, the circumstances were special at the time. The emperor gave us marriage and forced us to marry immediately, so we could only..."

Xiao Yan stood up all of a sudden, with his hands on the handle of the Le knife, he gritted his teeth and said, "So you married him?" He was already full of anger, as if Jiang Lan would immediately wave the knife towards him as long as he nodded.

"No." Seeing this scene, Jiang Lan quickly shook his head in denial, and stood up, very nervous. She glanced at the disappointed Yan Zhan and decided to make everything clear, "I was not a man at that time, the emperor gave marriage, so we did get married, but it wasn't me who married him, but he married me. Afterwards, the emperor cancelled the engagement."

Jiang Lan was helpless for a while, but she didn't want to say it. This was a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Xia Henqiu's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was in a happy mood, and a smile appeared on his face. Although he knew the facts for a long time, and now he listened to Jiang Lan's mouth completely, on this occasion, he felt extraordinarily relieved.

Xiao Yan was slightly shocked and sluggish. His hand trembled when he pointed at Yan Zhan. It was such an absurd result. He could never imagine how this great general who was stunned by the situation could become a wife.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing loudly. He laughed until he leaned back and forth, trembling all over. This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The humiliation he suffered today has now been released.

Yan Zhan's face was ashen, his hands and feet were trembling with anger, but he couldn't do anything, because this was the whole truth. If he wanted to confirm the marriage contract, he had to admit that he was Jiang Lan's wife. However, having said that, husbands and wives are not talking in name, they have to look at the facts. He rubbed the hilt of his sword, restrained his mind, glanced at Xiao Yan who was arrogant and reckless, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter who is the wife's name, we will bridal chamber immediately after the worship, in fact Jiang Lan is my wife, the eunuch. The palace maids can testify..."

He was about to describe how they were going to have a wedding, when Xiao Yan suddenly changed color, the laughter was stuck in his throat and could no longer come out, and he was sulking while sitting on the chair. This dog emperor has nothing to do with people's marriage, he is really full.
