11. Tentative

As soon as Qiao Xuan finished speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and looked like an ostrich, not daring to look at Jiang Weiqing at all.

Jiang Weiqing's breath was cold and he said slowly, "Are you sure you want to stay?"

Hua Lan immediately stepped forward, interrupted Jiang Weiqing, and smiled slowly: "Since the little friend is willing to stay, why should Jianjun force others to be difficult? Jianjun can rest assured, it is only a short stay for a while, then Benjun will definitely keep him intact. sent back to Yuan Jianzong."

Jiang Weiqing pursed his thin lips and looked coldly at the boy with his head down.

Sure enough, the previous so-called reflection and admitting mistakes were all perfunctory words. As long as you give a little chance, you will not know the importance. How can you be presumptuous here in Hualan?

Such a ignorant junior, who cares what he does, he can stay if he wants, and it has nothing to do with himself...

I shouldn't care...

Jiang Weiqing stared at Qiao Xuan for a moment, his eyes were dark and unclear, and suddenly turned to Hua Lan and said, "Since the emperor is very kind, it's not easy to stop him, but it's just such a trivial matter as sending him back to the sect, how can I trouble the emperor? Wait for ten days, and bring him back with you in ten days."

After Jiang Weiqing finished speaking, he said lightly to Qiao Xuan: "Although the emperor is lenient and doesn't care about your fault, after you go, remember not to mess around and forget your status."

Qiao Xuan was stunned. In his imagination, Jiang Weiqing's character would definitely not care about a younger generation who didn't know what to do, and he would just let him fend for himself, but he didn't expect that Jiang Weiqing would rather wait for him for ten days. I also have to take him back in person, which... strengthens his determination to stay here!

I won't go with you!

Hua Lan smiled and cleared the siege: "Jianjun is too serious, the little friend has just soared, everything is new, and it is normal to be more curious, and it will be fine after a while."

Jiang Weiqing said word by word: "It's better."

Hua Lan turned her head and smiled at Qiao Xuan: "Let's go."

Qiao Xuan respectfully saluted Jiang Weiqing: "Disciple remember Jianjun's teachings."

Then he slowly walked past Jiang Weiqing. Although Jiang Weiqing didn't say a word, Qiao Xuan's whole body was tense!

It wasn't until he left here that there was no change, and Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

A twist!

I didn't expect Hua Lan to be so powerful...

He was half a step behind and quietly raised his head to glance at Hua Lan's profile.

The man and Xiao Lu are not the same, but they seem to have similarities, the same noble, noble and elegant... Qiao Xuan's eyes moved down, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

On Hua Lan's waist is a jade pendant.

An ordinary, outdated jade pendant with no spiritual power, dull color, and even a corner of it was damaged.

Turns out you were still there.

On the night before you leave, you will give me the jade pendant with you, and let me wait for you for a while. When everything is over, you must join me in an open and honest manner, take me out of here, and see the rivers and mountains together...

You said that you would never let me down.

Too bad I couldn't wait.

The night when the fire engulfed Fengwu Palace, the jade pendant fell to the ground and died with me in the sea of ​​​​fire. I thought it was long gone.

Qiao Xuan was slightly silent.

If it was just speculation before, until now, he has no doubts in his heart that Hua Lan is Xiao Lu.

Hua Lan looked back and found that the young man stopped suddenly, his expression seemed a little down, worried that he was afraid of himself, he quickly lowered his voice, and smiled gently: "What's the matter? If you are still worried about the previous things, don't worry, I have already I said that I don’t need to compare, naturally I will follow my words.”

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Qiao Xuan suddenly returned to his senses, lowered his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, and revealed a shy smile: "No, I naturally believe in you, but I'm just worried that if I leave like this, Jianjun may not be happy..."

Hua Lan smiled and said: "It's okay, if he wants to blame you, I will explain it for you."

Qiao Xuan repeatedly thanked.

Who knows what Jiang Weiqing's thoughts are, it doesn't matter if you explain it, but he is not really worried about Jiang Weiqing.

He looked at Hua Lan's elegant and handsome face, the dignified emperor of heaven, it's really not easy to let go of a little fairy like me... But I'm sorry, I may have to take advantage of you. Thinking of this, Qiao Xuan rarely has a snack Guilt.

But then again, everything you promised me at the beginning has not been fulfilled... Now I am asking you for a small favor, and it is still a thousand years late, so it is better that you pay me back.

And I don't want your empress position, I just borrow your artifact to use it, and write off all the grievances and grievances from the past, but you actually earned it!

Thinking of this, Qiao Xuan didn't have much psychological burden. He smiled and moved forward, following Hua Lan's footsteps.

………………

Qiao Xuan followed Hua Lan along the way, passing by prosperous pavilions and pavilions, and finally came to a gorgeous palace.

This palace is all made of white jade, with carved beams and painted buildings. It is very exquisite. The displays and furnishings are all extraordinary. Even while walking, you can feel the spirit of the fairy lingering. He has been a god for hundreds of thousands of years, and he is also a dragon god. His background is indeed not comparable to ordinary gods.

Two immortal servants waited respectfully inside.

Hua Lan smiled at Qiao Xuan and said, "Just live here, talk to them about what you want, or where you want to go shopping."

Qiao Xuan said respectfully, "Thank you, Emperor."

Hua Lan shook her head and smiled, "You're welcome."

It is necessary to be polite. Qiao Xuanxiao's eyes are curled up. Although Hua Lan is Xiao Lu, it does not mean that he can relax.

Now Hua Lan doesn't know his identity, the reason why he wants to stay is because he has doubts about him... The excuses he said at the time are only believed by fools, and it is normal for Hua Lan to doubt.

Because of his old-fashioned attitude, Hua Lan temporarily let go of his murderous intentions, but he didn't know this kind of thing, how could he let him go so easily?

Qiao Xuan would not be blinded by the love in his previous life, thinking that Hua Lan was in love with him at first sight.

Now they are just testing each other.

You must master this degree well in order to successfully achieve your goal without Hua Lan discovering her identity.

Hua Lan didn't stay for long and left soon after.

Qiao Xuan relaxed, made no secret of his curiosity, and looked around. Anyway, he was just a little bitch who had never opened his eyes.

Completely fits the character!

The palace turned around in a circle, Qiao Xuan sighed from the bottom of his heart, worthy of being the emperor of the mortal world and the emperor of the heavenly realm, Hua Lan is really a person who knows how to enjoy life, which is different from the general immortals who practice asceticism and avoid the world.

He appreciates him.

Although can't wait to go to the treasure hunt now, but there are still two immortal servants by side, don't be too hasty, there are still ten days to go!

Qiao Xuan smiled, looked back at the immortal servant who followed, and said with a shy face: "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Heavenly Food, he has been jealous for a long time! tasted some at the banquet before, but didn't get addicted. Now this is such a good opportunity, don't eat it for nothing!

He is now a distinguished guest of Hualan!

Although Qiao Xuan looked like he had never seen the world before, the two immortal servants did not show any contempt, but smiled respectfully: "Young master wait a moment."

Qiao Xuan sat leisurely in the courtyard. There were flowers and birds swimming in the courtyard, and there was also a huge fairy locust tree with fairy vines wrapped around it. The fairy vines were dotted with small white flowers. Sitting below was cool and comfortable, and the scenery was pleasant. people.

Immortal servants came back after a while, each of them carrying a jade plate, and a group of cranes filed in behind them. stone table.

Qiao Xuan glanced at the group of cranes, and then moved suddenly, and then looked away casually, pretending that he didn't see anything.

When one of the cranes saw Qiao Xuan, he also froze and almost knocked over the plate, but soon returned to normal.

It lowered its head and showed an indignant look. When it saw Qiao Xuan's relaxed and comfortable appearance just now, it was so angry that it almost smashed the plate on Qiao Xuan's head! On that day, he was discovered by the emperor. Not only did he spit out the benefits, but he was also sentenced to do hard labor for a year, serving tea and water, and cleaning up weeds. The crane, how could it have fallen to this point!

And this hateful guy, not only was not punished, but he even swaggered into the emperor's guest of honor, which is totally unreasonable!

The emperor must have been deceived by this shameless guy!

Qiao Xuan lowered his eyes and took a sip of immortal brew. He coughed lightly. He almost leaked a flaw just now. Although this stupid crane has pitted him, if he troubled him now, wouldn't he be self-inflicted, and it seemed that he had a bad time. not good...

Well, that makes him feel at ease.

Qiao Xuan was about to start feasting, his eyes swept across the table full of delicacies, and landed on an inconspicuous dish, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite without hesitation. It's almost time for the world.

Not bad.

Hua Lan really has a heart...

………………

the other side.

Hua Lan was sitting in an empty room, and an hour later, an immortal servant came over respectfully.

Hua Lan looked up with a calm expression, and said, "What did he do?"

The immortal servant was lying on the ground: "Young Master first walked around the hall, sighed, and seemed very surprised, and then said that he was hungry, we served the dishes according to your instructions, and he was very appetizing, and he was the first to eat. The dish is sesame dumplings stuffed with wine..."

Hua Lan's eyes changed abruptly, and then she quickly returned to calm, and said lightly: "You go out first."

The immortal servant immediately closed his mouth and walked out backwards.

Hua Lan's gaze fell on the jade pendant on the table.

The jade pendant was dull in color, with a broken corner. It was neither a magic weapon nor a spiritual jade, but an ordinary piece of mortal jade... But it was the only thing Hua Lan brought back from the mortal world.

When was he moved?

It probably started from that day when strayed into the peach forest.

On that day, as usual, he came to Taishi Rong's house.

Although in order not to make General Zhenguo suspicious, he alienated his relationship with Taishi Rong on the surface, but he was in close contact with the Rong family in secret, and sometimes disguised his identity to discuss matters with the Rong family.

As a puppet emperor who has no real power, he needs to act every step of the way in the palace, pretend to be incompetent outside, pretend to not know why his mother died, pretend to be obedient, cowardly and not determined... He is used to pretending, because only the brother and sister know, Not only is he not a threat, but also has value in use, so that he can survive and have the opportunity to take revenge and kill the traitor.

To endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, for him, has become a normal thing.

There are many things that no one can say, many things can only be buried in the bottom of my heart, and only in the teacher's home can we have a moment of relaxation.

As his teacher, Taishi Rong not only taught him to read and write, but also taught him to be sensible. He has always given him encouragement and support. It can be said that without Taishi Rong, there would be no Xiao Lu today.

In Xiao Lu's heart, Rong Taishi is like his father, and Rong Shilang is his elder brother.

It's a little early today.

The teacher and Brother Rong have something to do and haven't returned home yet. He wandered around the garden in his spare time, smelled the refreshing aroma of wine by accident, and subconsciously followed the aroma of the wine, along the winding forest path, passing a peach forest, and came here. To the edge of a quiet courtyard.

Here in the depths of the Rong Mansion, he had never been here before. He never thought that he would be distracted for a while, and he would go so far. He fell, and there was a groan from the boy.

Out of concern, Xiao Lu hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, and saw a young man holding a wine jar and falling face down with a dismal face. He tried hard to get up, but he didn't get up for a long time.

It turned out that the young man could not walk.

Xiao Lu immediately walked over, picked up the young man and put him back in the wheelchair. The young man wiped his face casually, raised his head, showed a bright smile, and said thank you.

That smile is so pure and pure, like the soft wind blowing through the clear water, and those eyes are so dark and clear, like pearls hanging on a flawless jade.

This scene was a beauty he had never seen before.

Let him lose his mind for a moment.

Xu is because of this moment's heartbeat, Xiao Lu did not leave, but asked him, what are you doing?

The young man seldom saw outsiders. He looked at him curiously, but he was not at all wary. He seemed very happy that someone was talking to him, and said excitedly that this was the peach blossom stuffed he made, and the peach blossoms here bloom every year. It's very good. He recently searched for a miscellaneous note, which recorded a way of making peach blossom brew. He just made a jar and was going to find a place to dig a hole and bury it, so that he can drink it next year, who knows I accidentally fell down just now, and I blinked my eyes embarrassedly...

Xiao Lu couldn't help laughing. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the shovel beside him, and said, "I'll help you."

The boy quickly refused, saying how could trouble you...

Xiao Lu raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said with a gentle smile, "I didn't do it for nothing. Next year, when the wine comes out, I'm going to split half of it. Do you have any opinion?"

Hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said hello.

As he spoke, he sat there quietly, resting his chin in one hand, watching Xiao Lu dig a hole with a smile.

Xiao Lu had never done anything like digging a hole and burying wine before... But today, for some reason, he did such a rough job with joy. A little sweat broke out from his forehead, but his mood was unprecedentedly relaxed.

In the palace, everything he did and every word he said had to be carefully thought out. Even lying in bed in the middle of the night, as long as there was a disturbance, he would wake up immediately.

But here is quiet and elegant, the youth is clean and pure, like a paradise, in the eyes of the youth, he is not an emperor, just a guest who accidentally broke in.

He has never let go of all vigilance and vigilance like this moment before, without worrying about danger and calculations, without thinking about his identity and the mission he bears, just be a simple ordinary person, without any scruples, do Something you shouldn't be doing.

This feeling has never been better.

Xiao Lu guessed his identity as a teenager.

He knew that Brother Rong had a young son, who was weak since childhood and had inconvenient legs and feet.

He hadn't been curious about the other party before, but when he saw it unexpectedly today, he was a little reluctant to leave.

The boy's world is extraordinarily simple, clean, and pure... completely different from his world, but it seems to have an inexplicable attraction, making him want to stop here for a while.

But after the wine was buried, Xiao Lu knew that he should leave. He smiled at the young man, and when he was about to say goodbye, the young man spoke first.

The boy looked at him and said: Do you want to stay for a while, drink tea and play chess.

The young man's eyes were bright, with a gleam of anticipation. Rather than keeping him, he wanted to accompany him by himself. Probably, he was really boring at ordinary times.

Xiao Lu laughed dumbly, but he readily agreed and said yes.

In fact, he didn't want to leave either.

They chatted while playing chess, and Xiao Lu realized that although the young man didn't go out, he had read a lot of books, had unique insights, and was very smart and cunning. He even lost half of this game.

The young man was complacent, proud like a little peacock, saying that you should not be discouraged, my father can't beat me, but I am very powerful.

It's really amazing. Although he lost chess, Xiao Lu was not unhappy at all. If the young man was happy, he would have no problem losing a few more games.

The boy's laughter is in his ears, and the aroma of wine is on the nose.

Half a day passed in an instant, Xiao Lu felt that time passed so quickly for the first time.

By the time Shi-Lang Rong came over, it was getting dark.

When Rong Shilang saw Xiao Lu here, he was afraid that Rong Xuan would collide with him. When he was about to scold Rong Xuan, Xiao Lu hurriedly stopped him, saying that he had accidentally entered by mistake, and Rong Xuan was not to blame.

Rong Shi Lang saw that he didn't care about him and felt sorry for his younger son, so he just gave Rong Xuan a reproach and gave up.

Xiao Lu knew that it was time for him to leave this time. He turned around and was about to walk to the door. The voice of young Qingyue came from behind: Will you come again in the future?

Xiao Lu looked back at the young man's eyes, his heartbeat stopped for a moment, his eyes couldn't help but soften, and said, "Okay, I happen to have a copy of the unfinished handbook of a layman in Baishan that you mentioned. I'll bring it to you next time. come over.

Hearing the words, the young man's eyes flashed with surprise.

Xiao Lu was infected by the joy of the young man, and even his own mood became happy.

Although reluctant to part, he and Rong Shilang left.

He was here today for a business purpose. General Zhenguo's line has always been corrupt and perverted the law, and they have done a lot of things. Xiao Lu recently arrested one of his subordinates and wanted to pull General Zhenguo off his horse. But this is not an easy matter. To have a long-term plan, it is necessary to discuss with the teacher and Brother Rong.

They discussed it all night, and when Xiao Lu left, he specifically told Shi Lang Rong that he didn't want Rong Xuan to be burdened, and hoped that Brother Rong would keep his identity secret.

Rong Shi Lang smiled and agreed to his request.

When Xiao Lu returned to the palace, it was already late at night. The sky was dark and oppressive, making people breathless. It was strange that he closed his eyes that night, and the bright and bright eyes of the young man appeared in front of him, as if warm. Yang dispels the haze.

A good night's dream.

After a few days, Xiao Lu quietly went to the Taishi Mansion again, but before going out this time, he deliberately brought an orphan book that the teenager could not find for a long time.

He brought the solitary book to the boy, the boy was happy as if he had got a baby, and there seemed to be stars shining in his beautiful eyes, Xiao Lu stared blankly at the boy in front of him.

Even if it's just for this moment of smile, everything he does is worth it.

He wanted the boy to keep smiling like this.

No worries, simple and pure.

Since then, Xiao Lu has come to Rong Mansion more and more frequently. Taking the opportunity to discuss matters, he will deliberately take time out every time to go to Rong Xuan to sit for a while and bring him some isolated books, miscellaneous notes, snacks... As long as the young man has a happy expression, Xiao Lu feels that everything is happy.

This place is like a pure land, intoxicating and nostalgic.

It is his paradise.

Rong Shi Lang was a little worried at first, afraid that Rong Xuan would collide with him ignorantly. Later, when he saw that they got along well, and that Rong Xuan was rarely happy, he did not stop them from coming and going... He just told Xiao Lu politely that you have been here too much recently. Yes, you need to be careful, but don't get caught.

Xiao Lu said no, he was very careful every time.

Moreover, their plan also went very smoothly. They secretly rebelled against the subordinates of several generals of the township, and they held a lot of evidence in their hands. Just waiting for a suitable opportunity, they must let the chaotic ministers and thieves be saved.

At that time, I don't have to be so sneaky, and I can come to see Rong Xuan in an open and honest manner.

Xiao Lu was looking forward to it.

Another month passed.

Xiao Lu was about to go out that night. He deliberately collected a few delicate gadgets from the tribute yesterday, thinking of taking them to relieve Rong Xuan's boredom, Rong Xuan would definitely like it...

Thinking like this, Xiao Lu smiled involuntarily, but before he went out, his confidant suddenly came in and told him that something was wrong!

One of Taishi Rong's disciples, because of corruption, took bribes and forced the good people to die. After the incident, he was captured by the generals of Zhenguo. He was tortured overnight, but the other party confessed that what he did was ordered by Taishi Rong! It is said that Taishi Rong is different from the outside, and he is honest and honest on the surface, but he asks students for benefits and is greedy. Although he accepts a lot of bribes, most of them are dedicated to Taishi Rong. In fact, he has very little left, and he can't stand the torture. , and even left a thousand-character blood-book, pointing out that Taishi Rong sold officials to collect money, corrupted the stolen goods and perverted the law!

Xiao Lu was furious. He knew the teacher's conduct, but he couldn't do such a thing.

The reason for this is that their plan has been exposed, so General Zhen Guo preemptively attacked him, and framed the corruption and lawless things he did on Taishi Rong!

Xiao Lu was anxious, but he was still young, so he could only watch the teacher bear the stigma, but he couldn't do anything.

General Zhenguo covered the sky with one hand, and regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he arrested Taishi Rong and imprisoned him. The next day, he swaggered into the palace.

Xiao Lu held back the anger in his heart and pretended not to care. Who knew that General Zhen Guo suddenly looked at him with sharp eyes, and said coolly: Hasn't your majesty been to Rong's house a lot lately? The minister thought that His Majesty had a good relationship with the Rong family, so why didn't he ask?

Xiao Lu faced each other, his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, and a bone-chilling coldness flowed through his body.

The matter of his going to Rong's house was still discovered.
