After the council meeting adjourned, Lan Yan and Yin Guyue were about to leave, when Lu Heng caught up from behind.
"What are your orders, eldest son?"
"Are you still so unfamiliar? In a few days, you will be my brother-in-law, and we will be a family." Lu Heng smiled and punched Lan Yan's arm with his fist.
Lan Yan also smiled and said: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and the eldest son, you have your own magnanimity and the demeanor of a wise master. Lan is close to you and does not dare to be presumptuous."
"Haha, you know how to flatter Lan Yan." Lu Heng laughed and said, "Don't let others listen to your words. My father is still young. My biggest role is to give him a smart and good grandson.
So that I can inherit the empire he is about to conquer. My abilities are limited, and it is already very difficult for me to help my father manage the logistics."
"Young Master, you still underestimate yourself too much," Lan Yan said calmly: "Lv Gong has a training policy for you. Now he just lets you sort out government affairs and train his own team. When the time comes in the future, you will be him
The most trusted person in the rear is also his successor who can conquer the world with peace of mind."
"High mountains also come from sand. No one is born knowing this. Sir, there is no need to belittle yourself. When you sit in that position, you will naturally know what to do."
"My blood is almost boiling with what you say, and I wish I could share my worries for my father." Lu Heng said with a smile: "But I know that Lan Yan is the subordinate who can share my worries best. You are also the gallbladder of Chenfeng and Linhai's Dinghai Shenzhen.
.”
Lan Yan smiled and did not refute or admit.
Lu Heng suppressed his smile and said seriously: "When the Yanjing Unparalleled List came out, the world was shocked and the warriors were alarmed. Lan Yan, you are the unparalleled number one general in the world, and you are at the center of the storm, everyone is paying attention."
"Some people say that you hid Bai Ye's old subordinates, deliberately let go of White Night Walker, and secretly cooperated with Bai Ye; others said that you were kind to the three armies and gathered military morale; some even said that you are still in contact with the old headquarters of the Statistics Department and can control the stars at any time.
Kejun..."
"But my father has not taken away half of your power or deprived you of half of your credit. You have always been a top general in the navy, a senior official of the government, and someone our Lu family will always trust."
"Lan is so ashamed."
"Don't care about the rumors outside." Lu Heng said: "I will try my best to explain it to you in front of dad. Anyone who spreads rumors will be severely punished. We will never let the heroes who have shed blood and sweat for the Lu family be wronged and humiliated!"
"Lan Yan, you have not failed our Lu family, and our Lu family will never fail you!"
Facing Lu Heng's gaze, Lan Yan nodded heavily, clasped his fists and said, "Lan Yan is willing to go through fire and water for the Lu family era!"
"There's no need for you to go through fire and water." Lu Heng suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: "As long as you don't make my sister cry. I'm not just idle chatting with you. If you don't go see her, I will
It’s an ugly death.”
"But now we are away from the auspicious day..."
"She's almost sick from holding back so many words, why does she care about auspicious days?" Lu Heng raised his eyebrows: "General Lan, come and check out the beauty level when you have time?"
Lan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Then I'll ask my brother-in-law to lead the way."
"Hahaha, Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes, this is a wise saying." Lu Heng smiled and led them to the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion. They stopped in front of a bunch of courtyards and suddenly looked at Yin Guyue who was looking around behind.
He blinked: "Captain Silver, would you be interested in having a drink with me?"
Yin Guyue's eyes lit up: "Would you like to drink flower wine?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." Lu Heng blinked, "Then we won't disturb General Lan as you pass through."
Yin Guyue was about to agree, but she looked at Lan Yan who was silent in front of him, and said vaguely: "Forget it, forget it, I made a bet with General Lan before, and I have to keep to myself these days. I will just stay outside."
Just keep it.
Lu Heng asked curiously: "What bet are you making?"
"Bet on whether he can guard against my sneak attack while sleeping." Yin Guyue shrugged: "Looking at him still standing here, you know that I lost completely."
"Isn't it too dangerous for you to bet? Is this the confidence of the best person in the world?" Lu Heng joked, said nothing more, and left directly.
Yin Guyue stood guard at the door of the courtyard and watched Lan Yan walk into the other courtyard. Then the maid outside screamed in surprise. Then the bedroom door opened, and a heroic and beautiful girl came out and walked to Lan Yan.
, raised his head and stared at Lan Yan angrily: "You also know that you have a fiancée who is getting married in only five days? If I don't call my brother to find you, you really won't come to me.
Huh? If no one reminds you, can you even forget the church service in a few days?"
Lan Yan did not respond, but turned to look at the flowers and plants in the yard, looking absent-minded. His appearance obviously made the girl in front of him even more angry: "Lan Yan, you--"
"Look." Lan Yan suddenly pointed at the flowers and said, "There is something there. Did you accidentally drop something in it?"
The girl was stunned for a moment and shook her head subconsciously: "I didn't lose anything."
"There is really something there, come with me." Lan Yan pulled her to the flowers, held her wrist and stretched into the flowers together: "It sounds like I am lying, you will know after touching it."
"Lan Yan, don't change the subject, I -"
The girl's expression suddenly froze, she blinked her eyes, lowered her head and looked at her retracted right hand, and found a crystal clear emerald jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Stop talking." Lan Yan raised a finger to signal the girl to keep quiet: "This is the jade bracelet I secretly intercepted from the military expenses sent by Xuan Zhu. It is said to be the jade bracelet named 'Feileng Cui' by Scardy.
This rare jade bracelet is worth dozens of gold coins. It’s very expensive. From now on, just say it was given to you by your father, not to mention that it was given to you by me. Otherwise, I will be punished according to military law and I will lose my head. You can only do this in a few days.
Get married holding my head, do you understand?"
Seeing Lan Yan's serious and serious expression, the girl looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. She had to cover her mouth and nodded sharply, "I understand, I understand."
"Then Lingyin, are you willing to forgive me?" Lan Yan took her hand and asked softly.
"Humph!" Lu Lingyin turned her head, but did not move away from Lan Yan's hand. She looked down at the cold jade bracelet for a while, then said with a reluctant look: "This is just this time, it won't be the same next time!"
"Thank you, Ms. Suzune, for your magnanimity."
Lu Lingyin couldn't hold back her expression at all, she shook Lan Yan's hand with a cute look on her face, took Lan Yan to sit in the pavilion in the yard, and said to the maids: "Bring us all the decks, we are going to fight.
Card!"
She stared at Lan Yan and said, "Would you like to play with me this afternoon?"
"Of course I do. Not only this afternoon, I will play with you for the rest of my life."
"I can only say nice things." Lu Lingyin held her face with both hands and stared at Lan Yan without blinking. Lan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at what the number one warrior today, the unparalleled man in the world, looks like. By the way!"
Lu Lingyin took out four cards from his pocket, and they were the cards that came with the Unparalleled Ranking. They were "Morrowind Blue Flame", "Statistics Department Blue Flame", "Zhanjiang Blue Flame", and Quan Huiyao, a total of nine cards.
, Morrowind only has one golden flash card, "War Ghost Blue Flame"!
Lan Yan was a little surprised and picked up the card "War Ghost Lan Yan": "How did you get this card?"
The card face of "War Ghost Lan Yan" is actually unremarkable. It just shows Lan Yan in military uniform sitting at the negotiating table, but behind him stands a neat army. The corners of Lan Yan's mouth on the card are upturned, and he is hanging.
With an elegant and casual smile, he seemed to have nothing to do with the 'War Ghost'.
There is another sentence below the card:
"Smiling comes from indestructible self-confidence."
"Someone else gave it to my father, and my father gave it to me." Lu Lingyin quickly took back "War Ghost Blue Flame" and said nervously: "Don't even think about taking it away. Even if you give me a gift, I won't take it away."
It's given to you."
Lan Yan smiled and said: "Compared to a living person like me, do you prefer those cards?"
"But you can't accompany me all the time." Lu Lingyin looked at the four cards in her hand, her voice a little low: "I can't accompany you into the military camp, fight with you in the north and south, and make achievements with you. My tactics
It’s really too bad... These cards look very similar to yours, were they made by an acquaintance of yours?"
"I'm curious too." Lan Yan replied.
What he said was not a lie.
He is really curious.
Lan Yan vaguely noticed that the four cards should all come from the same person, and all four cards have their origins. But at the same time, he had seen his "Morning Wind Lan Yan", "Statistics Department Lan Yan", and "Zhan Jiang Lan"
People with the attitude of "Fire" and "War Ghost Blue Flame" cannot be in Yanjing.
If Yin Guyue wasn't outside, he would have doubted whether Yin Guyue made these cards.
"By the way, have you read the latest issue of "Youth Daily"?" Lu Lingyin said: "It's really abominable. They actually painted you as a woman so ordinary. I think you are even better wearing women's clothes than that picture."
The paintings are beautiful! I actually bought a few..."
"Not wearing it."
"I haven't even said what I bought!"
"Not wearing it."
"Why don't you want to?"
"No matter what, I don't want to."
"Let's do this. If you can beat me at the battle card, I will give up this idea."
Lan Yan silently picked up his deck: "So you didn't realize that I deliberately let you go?"
"Don't think that I am still the same person as before!" Lu Lingyin said confidently: "I have been studying new playing methods these days, and I will definitely surprise you. Your life is like a candle in the wind!"
…
…
"Then it's time for me to say goodbye."
As the sun set, the dusk bell of Xingke County rang, Lan Yan stood up and said goodbye and left. Lu Lingyin looked at the cards in his hand, with a face filled with grievances and was about to cry. The maids looked at their young ladies with pity, holding records in their hands.
The winning and losing signs, one side has zero eggs, the other side has ten wins. As for who has ten wins and who has zero eggs, naturally there is no need to mention it.
"Lingyin, see you in a few days."
Lan Yan was about to turn around and leave, but found Lu Lingyin grabbing the corner of his clothes. He looked at Lu Lingyin, but Lu Lingyin just lowered her head, not looking at him at all, and didn't say anything.
He smiled, went over to hug his fiancée, and kissed her gently on the forehead, "I'm leaving."
"Yeah." Lu Lingyin touched her forehead and nodded with a flushed face.
Lan Yan walked outside the yard and saw Yin Guyue looking at him with strange eyes. He didn't care and strode forward, followed closely by Yin Guyue.
The two left the Sheriff's Mansion wordlessly. When they walked near Mirror Lake, it was already dark, and thousands of street lamps illuminated this pearl of morning breeze.
Yin Guyue finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "General, you are so cruel."
"After holding it in for such a long time, I thought you finally grew up and learned not to speak." Lan Yan said calmly: "Then, as you wish - why do you say that?"
"Why do you treat the second lady so tenderly? Your tenderness beguiled her and made her think that this was love."
Yin Guyue said: "Although I am not a good person and have betrayed dozens of times in my life, I don't even bother to play with other people's feelings."
"What a vicious accusation." Lan Yan replied: "But why do you think I am playing with my feelings? Considering my age, I should have started a family, and Lingyin is indeed my ideal partner, and I am willing to marry her as well.
Wife, I really want to spend the rest of my life with her."
"Oh, then you have a lower level of bad taste." Yin Guyue spread her hands: "Do you want to kill her whole family and then continue to spend the rest of your life with her?"
"Why are you saying it so cruelly?" Lan Yan said calmly: "We can use another more just statement - after avenging my father-in-law Lu Gong, I will live a happy life with Lingyin."
"Like you are avenging your teacher Ding Yi, so you are appreciated by Lu Zhong?" Yin Guyue sighed: "But is it really interesting to live in a lie like this?"
"Don't be afraid of lies, this world is built on lies; don't be doubted by your heart, because your heart can also lie." Lan Yan said in a low voice: "If the truth can only make life painful, then what else can it do?
What is the necessity of existence?”
"Some problems don't exist as long as we don't mention them."
"But some people always like to expose people's wounds." Yin Guyue picked up the abandoned unparalleled list next to her: "The unparalleled person in front of me, what should I do next?"
"It's not what I should do, but what others want to do." Lan Yan said, "You saw what happened in the council hall, and I have no choice."
Yin Guyue smiled: "Isn't that great? Everyone likes the best general in the world, and the consul likes talents the most."
"Lv Gong likes talents because he regards talents as a wall that can protect him from wind and rain." Lan Yan said: "But now, I have become a dangerous wall in his eyes. And those people are still adding bricks and tiles to me to show me
It’s a little more grand when you go up there.”
As they walked, Yin Guyue suddenly burst into laughter.
Lan Yan: "Why are you laughing?
"I think of the rumors that Lu Heng mentioned just now, saying that you secretly communicated with the old department of the Statistics Department, that you bribed the military, and that you secretly cooperated with Bai Ye."
Yin Guyue paused and sneered: "But General, you are indeed a former member of the Statistics Department, and you are indeed trying to win over the morale of the army."
"The first two rumors have come true, so the last rumor is not far away, right?"
"Now that you understand everything." Lan Yan said calmly: "Then just do what you should do. After raising Bai Ye for so long, it's their turn to repay them."
"No problem." Yin Guyue made an exaggerated courtesy: "For the ambition and interests of General Lan Yan, I, Yin Guyue, am willing to go through fire and water for General Lan Yan, even if I die."
"Or, you can use another more righteous term."
Lan Yan looked at the lights on the other side of the lake.
