Although Bai Xueyin has never met Lan Ruohai in person, she has seen Lan Ruohai's portrait many times on Tianlian Peak. At this time, when she saw that the portrait hanging behind the altar table was actually Lan Ruohai, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

It doesn't matter if you eat half a peach in your hand, or if you put it down.

Lan Qiao held her shoulders and said softly, "It's okay. My father has always been the most sensible. He won't blame us if we eat a little of his food."

As he spoke, he picked up the peach in his hand and took another bite. He calmly said to the portrait, "Dad, your son and your niece are starving now. Share your food with us. You won't be able to eat it."

Don’t mind, you can’t eat that much anyway.”

If these words were put in an ordinary situation, people would definitely say that they were treasonous. But now in this crisis-ridden Chushui City, Bai Xueyin unexpectedly felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and she even liked this kind of breaking of taboos.

It was exciting, as if only in this situation could she truly feel her "existence".

Seeing Bai Xueyin's gloomy eyes light up again, Lan Qiao knew that his words had an effect and comforted her, "It's okay. Eat more and be full. We will find something to eat next time. I don't know when it will be."

Woolen cloth."

Bai Xueyin nodded and started eating again in silence. Somehow she had a strange feeling. She was alone with Lan Qiao in the empty room, sharing the food on the table with him, and was "lovingly" by Lan Ruohai's hanging portrait.

"Examining", for a moment she suddenly felt that she was Lan Ruohai's de facto daughter-in-law.

As soon as this thought came up, Bai Xueyin immediately felt a fever on his face, and at the same time he broke out in cold sweat. He kept blaming himself for how he could have such a crazy idea.

When Lan Qiao heard Bai Xueyin's sudden rapid breathing, he thought she was still struggling in her heart. He was about to say a few words of comfort to her when he heard footsteps coming from far to near outside the door.

"Let's go to the beam." Lan Qiao whispered, pulled Bai Xueyin up and squatted down on the beam of the bamboo house.

The rafters and beams of this bamboo house are all made of bamboo, and they make a soft "squeak" sound when you put your feet down, and then there is no more sound.

The visitor walked to the door and found the lock broken. He smiled and said to himself, "Whose baby ran in and stole the offerings." He didn't care and pushed the door open and entered.

When Lan Qiao heard the man's voice, he felt it was somewhat familiar. When he saw the man's face, he couldn't help but feel shocked. His surprise was no less than when he saw Lan Ruohai's portrait.

But I saw that this person was slender, wearing a black Taoist robe with indigo lining, a gold crown on his head, a pair of black and green climbing shoes at his feet, an ancient sword on his back, and a piece of gold hanging on the end of the yellow hilt.

Yellowed ancient jade.

Lan Qiao recognized this person almost immediately, the ancient jade swordsman Lan Daoxing, his "second uncle".

Lan Ruohai's original surname was Wang. Because of his military exploits while following Lan Yu in the crusade against Nahachu, he was adopted by Lan Yu as his adopted son, so he changed his surname.

Lan Yu's military exploits were unparalleled. He made many military exploits around the 20th year of Hongwu and became the most powerful representative figure in the military. He was unparalleled for a while. After Lan Ruohai, he accepted twelve more adopted sons and followed the example of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Keyong collectively called them the "Thirteen Taibao". Among them, the most famous and influential ones are the First Taibao Lan Ruohai and the Second Taibao Lan Daoxing.

The flowing fragrance of a sword is as blue as the sea, and the blue clouds are as blue as the road.

This was how the world judged them back then.

Lan Daoxing's temperament is even more arrogant than Lan Ruohai's. Not only is he good at marching and fighting, his martial arts skills are also of his own, only slightly inferior to Lan Ruohai's, and he is highly appreciated by Lan Yu.

Apart from Feng Zhenyue, Leng Han and Xu Qiuyu, Lan Daoxing was Lan Ruohai's most respected, most trusted and best comrade in the army, so Lan Ruohai took him to see him as early as when Lan Qiao was still very young. Pass this "second uncle".

Lan Feng was the most naughty. When he saw Lan Daoxing's appearance, he jokingly called him "cockscomb head".

Later, Lan Yu repeatedly violated taboos, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear it and executed him. Seven of the thirteen eunuchs were also implicated and died. Lan Ruohai was not implicated because of Shen Xinliu's relationship, and Lan Daoxing was missing from then on. Unexpectedly, today Appearing in this mysterious Chushui City.

When Bai Xueyin saw Lan Qiao's expression changed, she thought he was too nervous and gently grabbed his hand.

Landao walked to the portrait, silently lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner on the altar table, and sighed, "Brother Baichuan, time flies so fast. Before I know it, it has been a year since you left. At that time, I I once advised you to join us, but it’s a pity.”

Since Lan Ruohai died in the battle, Lan Qiao has been pushed forward by various things from Qingzhou to Jinan and then to Yueyang, and has been busy. If he hadn't heard Lan Daoxing mention it today, he would have almost forgotten the anniversary of Lan Ruohai's death.

Thinking of this, he looked at the half peach in his hand, and suddenly felt guilty again. He felt that he had not done anything meaningful this year. Even Lan Ruohai's death anniversary was due to Lan Daoxing, his enemy. to remind.

At this moment, I heard the sound of the door opening, and another sturdy short man walked in and said, "Second brother, I guessed you were right here."

Lan Daoxing said calmly without looking back, "Lao Ba, you are here."

When Lan Qiao heard Lan Daoxing call the short man "Lao Ba", he immediately thought of Lan Xiangzi, who was famous for being good at water fighting and was the eighth among Lan Yu's thirteen adopted sons. He thought that this man was also hiding in Chushui City.

Lan Xiangzi showed an unhappy look, sat down on the futon, and said loudly, "I really don't understand, eldest brother obviously doesn't have the same heart as us, why do you still think about him? Even the city lord agreed to be in the ancestral hall." Set up his spiritual position."

Lan Daoxing still didn't look at him and explained, "The city lord really regards his eldest brother as a respectable opponent."

Lan Xiangzi snorted and said, "When something happened to the commander-in-chief, seven of our brothers were executed, and the others were forced to flee. Why was it that only the eldest brother wanted me to see that he was fine? It was clearly the eldest brother who betrayed the commander-in-chief, so we were able to Exonerated."

"How can you talk about such things without real evidence?" Lan Daoxing said displeasedly, "Brother has a pure heart and is definitely not the kind of person who seeks glory from the Lord. If you say that he betrayed the commander-in-chief, I am the first one not to believe it."

He paused and then said, "The reason why the city lord killed him was because he hindered our plan to reduce the vassal. It has nothing to do with the Marshal's case back then."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Lan Xiangzi said with a frown, "I only know that if there were no moles, the commander-in-chief wouldn't be killed so quickly. Second brother, please tell me with your conscience, did the commander-in-chief have any secrets back then? Thoughts of rebellion"

"Absolutely not." Lan Daoxing said without hesitation, "The prince Zhu Biao was favored at that time, and it was a natural thing to inherit the throne. As the most powerful and loyal supporter around the prince, the commander-in-chief had no reason to rebel."

"That's right." Lan Xiangzi slapped his thigh and said, "In that case, don't you think it's strange that Zhu Yuanzhang punished the commander-in-chief for treason? I think there must be some villain causing trouble." His tone was very angry, and it was obvious that he no longer had any respect for Zhu Yuanzhang.
