Xiong Lang was frightened by Lan Chongzhou's smile at this moment. He vaguely knew that there were two sisters in Lan's house, but he didn't know which one Lan Chongzhou was talking about.
"I have a sister. She is the kindest and best girl in the world. But I did many wrong things and broke her heart."
Lan Chongzhou said calmly, his eyes slightly lowered.
"Then why did you come to guard the city gate for her? Will you still participate in the future martial arts competition?" Xiong Lang asked.
"She once went out to the capital to discuss business, and encountered an accident at night. The city gate could not be opened, and there was no doctor. She fought with wild wolves alone, and finally fell off a cliff and narrowly escaped death."
Lan Chongzhou said, his eyes that were originally as calm as an ancient well turned slightly red at this moment.
"Xiong Lang, I really feel sorry for her."
Lan Chongzhou's voice trembled slightly.
Xiong Lang pursed his lips and looked a little moved at this moment.
"As long as I serve as a guard here, if she has an accident in the future, I can protect her, send her a doctor at night, and drive away wild wolves for her. There is no need to beg anyone."
"Ah," Xiong Lang was slightly surprised, "opening the city gate privately is a capital crime!"
"If one day I die to protect her, it will probably be the most valuable moment of my life."
Lan Chongzhou slowly opened his eyelids, his somewhat tired eyes were full of determination.
As soon as he finished speaking, a panicked noise suddenly came from outside the city gate.
Lan Chongzhou raised his head in confusion and saw a tall brown horse running rampant on the road, raising dust all over the sky.
The horse had scarlet eyes and was neighing vigorously, looking like it was going crazy. It frightened the people who were lining up at the city gate and screamed again and again.
And behind the horse was a carriage, which was swerving behind the crazy horse, and the carriage seemed to be shaken to pieces.
"Chongzhou, Chongzhou! There seems to be someone in the carriage!"
Xiong Lang stood on tiptoe and looked forward. Before he could finish speaking, Lan Chongzhou rushed out without thinking.
His first reaction was: Yunyi... It seems like Yunyi...
With one hand on the sword at his waist, he took up Qinggong and ran towards the suburbs.
The horse was going crazy as if it didn't care about its life, and rushed straight towards the people at the city gate.
Lan Chongzhou in front of him didn't care about his life. When he thought that there was a one in ten thousand chance that Lan Yunyi was in the carriage, he rushed forward regardless of his life.
When he caught up with the horse, he tapped his toes sharply, jumped up, and grabbed the horse's reins.
The horse didn't seem to care about the shackles on its body, and still rushed forward. Lan Chongzhou held on to the reins tightly, and half of his body seemed to be hanging on the horse's back.
He took a deep breath, turned the horse's head suddenly, drew out the sword at his waist, and stabbed the horse without hesitation.
The sharp sword almost penetrated the horse's neck.
The horse let out another shrill cry, raised its front hooves to the sky, and then went limp again.
The carriage jolted with the movements of the horses, and suddenly a panicked scream came from the carriage, and another person was thrown out.
The clothes the woman was wearing fluttered in the wind, like a dancing butterfly.
Lan Chongzhou frowned. Before he could take a breath, he used Qinggong again to catch the woman flying out of the carriage.
The woman looked small, with a double-ring bun on her head, wearing conspicuous bright yellow clothes, and a veil on her face.
The girl seemed to be extremely frightened, shivering and shivering in Lan Chongzhou's arms, hugging him tightly with both hands.
Lan Chongzhou felt the trembling of the woman in his arms and lowered his head slightly.
Not Yunyi.
He let go of his hand without hesitation.
The woman screamed again and fell to the ground with a bang. She rolled around a few times and was covered in dust.
But Lan Chongzhou didn't look at her. He stared at his hands, his face becoming serious.
He put his hands on the tip of his nose and sniffed gently, his eyes glaring.
There was a smell - a strong and strange aroma.
Lan Chongzhou thought, then lowered his eyes and looked at the woman he threw on the ground. The woman looked at him with some surprise, while Lan Chongzhou's eyes were a little scrutinized.
He was very sure that this strange fragrance came from the woman in front of him.
He didn't know what this fragrance represented, but he felt that the fragrance was so strong and strange, as if it was trying to disturb people's minds, which was always a bit weird.
His premonitions have always been sharp. In the past, he relied on his accurate premonitions to break through the siege and escape death time and time again on the battlefield.
Only this time...
Lan Chongzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the strange woman in front of him.
"Miss...Miss..."
Another little maid hurriedly ran over from a distance. She hurriedly squatted beside the woman and helped her up from the ground.
"Miss, are you okay? This rude soldier in front of you - has he done anything bad to offend you?"
The little maid looked at Lan Chongzhou defensively, fearing that he would take advantage of her young lady.
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's okay, Zhen'er, I'm fine. The person in front of me is my benefactor who saved me."
The woman coughed twice, slowly got up from the ground, and leaned slightly towards Lan Chongzhou.
Her voice was gentle, like the sound of nature, and her eyes were full of gratitude. Coupled with her frail body, she looked like a fairy from heaven at the moment.
The little maid listened and looked at Lan Chongzhou with still defensive eyes.
Why is your horse frightened?
Where does your strong and strange fragrance come from?
Lan Chongzhou felt the defensive look in the little maid's eyes, and finally swallowed all these questions silently.
That’s all.
He hasn't been on the battlefield for a long time, maybe his premonition was wrong.
What's more, as long as it doesn't hinder Yunyi, anything that happens to other people, even if it threatens their lives, has nothing to do with him.
"It doesn't matter, my intention was not to save you, but the scene that frightened the horse just now reminded me of my sister."
Lan Chongzhou left these words coldly and walked away without any memory.
The woman stood there blankly, tilting her head and looking at Lan Chongzhou's tall and thin back, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Come in you!"
The carriage drove to Jingci'an and stopped slowly. Shi Yan held Lan Wanru's arm and almost carried her to the door of Jingci'an.
"Brother Shi, Brother Shi... please do a good job and let Wanru go! You put Wanru at the door and just pretend that Wanru was bitten to death by a wolf in the mountains! No one will pay attention to where Wanru went.
of!"
Lan Wanru looked at the dilapidated nunnery in front of her in horror. The huge plaque had lost its paint, and even the entrance to the nunnery was covered with weeds.
There were solemn and numbing sounds of chanting sutras and the thumping sound of wooden fish inside, which made people almost breathless.
I heard that the sister-in-law there is rigid and strict, and extremely difficult to deal with.
Her eyes widened and her whole body trembled, as frightened as a quail.
"Brother Shi, Wanru please, Wanru really can't go in!"
After Lan Wanru finished speaking, her whole body seemed to be as soft and boneless as she pressed against Shi Yan's body. This chapter has been completed!
