Lu Yuan exerted his Qinggong to the utmost, and the mont he carried Duan Mingyue out of Weiyang Building, the pavilion behind him collapsed with a bang.
"Big brother—"
"Fourth brother—"
Xun Wu and Duan Wenliang exclaid in shock.
Before they finished speaking, they saw Lu Yuan coming out of the ruins with Duan Mingyue on his back.
Their cries were abruptly cut off, as they stood there in disbelief.
"Lu, Lu Yuan?"
Duan Wenliang gasped, "What are you doing in there? When did you go in?"
Xun Wu murmured, "Third brother..."
For the first ti, he sincerely referred to Lu Yuan as a brother.
Although both were adopted sons of the Pri Minister, they didn’t have much friendship.
It should be said that Lu Yuan was too solitary and did not have deep interactions with any adopted sons.
He frowned, quickly stepped forward, and took Duan Mingyue from Lu Yuan’s back: "Big brother!"
Duan Mingyue leaned against Xun Wu, weakly looked at Lu Yuan, and laughed: "I didn’t expect... you would care about , this big brother, at a critical mont..."
Lu Yuan dusted off the dirt from his body and said coldly, "I just didn’t want the Loulans to succeed."
Duan Wenliang ca over: "Fourth brother, how are you?"
Duan Mingyue endured the severe pain all over his body and said nonchalantly, "Thanks to the Grand Commander, I won’t die for now."
Duan Wenliang oh’ed, turned his head and asked Lu Yuan, "By the way, when did you go in?"
Lu Yuan paused for a mont and still answered, "Just now."
Duan Wenliang patted his chest: "So dangerous! If it had been a step slower, big brother would have been lost!"
Duan Mingyue gave Lu Yuan a aningful glance.
He didn’t believe Lu Yuan just went in.
The words between him and Toghtai, Lu Yuan probably already heard a lot.
But to hold back until that mont to act, this third brother was ruthless enough.
"Is that old thing dead?"
Duan Wenliang curiously walked towards the collapsed pavilion.
"What are you doing?"
Xun Wu asked.
Duan Wenliang said angrily, "Alive, I want to see the man, dead, I want to see the corpse. I’m going to dig for the corpse!"
Duan Mingyue said softly, "Don’t go in, it’s full of traps inside... If you get into trouble, it won’t be worth the risk..."
He spent the whole night finding the traps set by Xun Liu; Toghtai should have been very unlikely to survive.
Duan Mingyue asked Xun Wu, "How did your task go? Did you fail?"
A hint of complexity flashed in Xun Wu’s eyes: "Yin Hu Guard told to co back to save you; she told that Toghtai wanted to kill you."
Duan Mingyue’s face slightly changed: "She... is in the Loulans’ official residence?"
Lu Yuan, with a cold face, mounted his horse.
Xun Wu said, "I don’t know the exact situation, but it seems she was taken away by Ayimulan. Third brother, I’ll go with you!"
Lu Yuan neither refused nor responded, raised his whip high, and galloped away.
-
anwhile, after Ayimulan and her party settled at the winery, ng Qianqian and ng Lang were locked in the sa room.
ng Lang shouted out from the crack of the door: "Hey, anyone, let’s make a deal, give another room, will you? She’s so fierce, I’m afraid she’ll beat up."
The Loulan General ignored him.
ng Lang muttered, "The winery is so big, what’s wrong with giving another room? Do you Loulans have to be so stingy?"
ng Qianqian said blandly, "Stop making noise, otherwise I’ll really beat you up."
ng Lang said disdainfully, "Are Loulans out of their minds? Locking the two of us in one place, not afraid we’ll conspire to escape?"
ng Qianqian: "If separated, you wouldn’t conspire to escape?"
ng Lang: "Not really."
ng Qianqian: "Then, if it were you, with not enough people, is it simpler to watch one room or two rooms?"
ng Lang silently took out a slightly withered peach from his wide sleeve.
"Give one."
ng Qianqian said.
After traveling for so long, she was a little thirsty.
"This is the last one."
Afraid that ng Qianqian would snatch the peach, he quickly took a bite.
ng Qianqian shot out a silver needle and snatched the peach into her hand.
"Hey, aren’t you disgusted by..."
Before he could finish, he saw ng Qianqian take out a dagger and cut off the bite mark he had made.
ng Lang: "..."
Halfway through eating, ng Qianqian suddenly spoke: "Let ask you a question."
"Go ahead!"
ng Lang perked up, looking spirited.
ng Qianqian: "You love peaches so much, are you a monkey?"
ng Lang’s face darkened: "... What kind of aningless question is that? I thought you’d ask how I found out you were abducted by the Loulans."
"Oh, I’m not curious."
ng Qianqian said casually.
ng Lang felt choked up.
She’s not curious, but he wanted to say!
He held back desperately.
She didn’t ask, he wasn’t about to bring it up himself, as if he was so eager.
ng Lang paced around the room, sotis shaking his leg, sotis putting his hands on his hips.
ng Qianqian remained as still as a mountain.
ng Lang gritted his teeth: "I’ll risk it! You walked past and didn’t check my work!"
At the ti, he thought sothing was off.
It’s just that he didn’t suspect she’d fallen under witchcraft, only assud she was in a hurry for a secret mission.
What secret mission didn’t even involve his master Chen Long?
Who could hold back from that?
"I see."
ng Qianqian realized, "Did I do anything else?"
ng Lang mumbled, "You have to ask yourself that, how would I know?"
Never admitting he followed her all the way, lost track, and then happened to bump into her in the street.
ng Qianqian thoughtfully said, "Let’s go to bed early tonight, but rember, don’t sleep too soundly."
ng Lang asked, "Where do I sleep?"
ng Qianqian said casually: "On the ground."
ng Lang’s body shook.
ng Qianqian squinted at him: "Do you still want to sleep on the bed?"
ng Lang pointed at the Stepping Bed: "The bed is so big, why not share half with ?"
ng Qianqian casually tossed him a pillow: "Not sharing."
ng Lang’s mouth twitched as he caught the pillow she threw over, and he lay on the floor grumbling.
He snorted, turned his back, and showed ng Qianqian his cold head.
ng Qianqian lay down fully dressed.
"What are you thinking?"
"Wondering if Xun Wu managed to save Duan Mingyue."
"I doubt it, that old shaman is so powerful, Xun Wu probably got himself caught too."
ng Qianqian said nothing more.
ng Lang continued: "However, were you implying sothing earlier? Why don’t you want to sleep too soundly? Is there a plan?"
ng Qianqian closed her eyes: "Why are you as noisy as Ji Li?"
This kid doesn’t learn what’s good, only picks up bad habits.
ng Lang raised his legs and put his arms behind his head: "If you tell , I won’t be noisy?"
ng Qianqian brandished a silver needle.
ng Lang imdiately shut up.
In the dead of night.
A figure, surrounded by faint fragrance, slowly pushed open the door.
ng Lang sat up in shock: "Who?"
"Shh, it’s ."
ng Lang looked carefully and whispered: "Aren’t you... that... Lady Lan?"
Alina closed the door and walked to the bedside: "Yin Hu Guard."
ng Lang asked peculiarly: "Are you here for her?"
Alina nodded: "I’m here to take you both away. What’s wrong with her?"
ng Lang heard the even breathing of soone, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Sleeping like this!"
