Chapter 141 Xie Guanlan is her last amulet
Xie Guanlan glanced at Fushan.
Fushan was embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything more.
Xie Guanlan dismounted and walked straight into the Taoist temple.
Top floor.
Yeshui's face turned grim, "There's a fire down there."
"There's a fire?" Cuicui continued to protect Wen Xingluo. "Was it set by bandits?!"
"I don't know." Yeshui pushed open the window. "I'll use my Qinggong to escort the young lady down."
The Laojun Pavilion has flying eaves and curled corners, and is majestic and over ten feet high.
Wen Xingluo looked at the height below and couldn't help but close his eyes, "Thank you."
Yishui used silk to tie her tightly around his back, and then stepped onto the windowsill. Although he was quite good at martial arts, he was only fifteen years old, and it was quite difficult for him to carry a person on his back. He rose and fell on the eaves several times before he landed steadily.
Untying the silk, Wen Xingluo said anxiously, "Brother Yeshui, please go and save Cuicui again."
After he left, Wen Xingluo was tidying up her clothes when Wen Ruyun and Wen Yueyin suddenly rushed out of the Taoist temple howling like ghosts.
"Wen Xingluo!" Wen Ruyun, his face covered in dust, grabbed Wen Xingluo's sleeve. "Things have come to this point, are you satisfied?! How many people do you want to kill before you stop?!"
"Yes, sister," Wen Yueyin agreed, "If you hadn't snatched the tea order, why would my second brother and his men have encountered bandits in the mountains in the middle of the night? How many tea merchants were ruined and killed tonight? How are you going to bear this loss?"
Just as the two men finished blaming each other, a bandit covered in wounds suddenly jumped out from behind the dim pine trees.
He said sternly, "I heard Xie Guanlan's sister is here. Which one of you is she?"
Wen Yueyin and Wen Ruyun looked at each other.
Wen Yueyin said in a delicate voice, "I am the younger sister of the Crown Prince, the young lady of the Zhenbei Palace. What? Are you here to confess and surrender to me, and want me to speak well of you in front of the Crown Prince? I tell you, unless you kneel down and kowtow three times, otherwise, I will never let you off easily!"
"Surrender?!" The bandit sneered, the long knife in his hand reflecting a cold light. "Xie Guanlan killed thousands of my brothers. Tonight I will kill his sister to avenge my past!"
He swung his knife and slashed at Wen Yueyin.
Wen Yueyin screamed and quickly hid behind Wen Xingluo, "I'm not his sister! Wen Xingluo is! She is!"
The bandit frowned, "I heard that Xie Guanlan's sister is the youngest daughter of the Wen family. Didn't you just call her sister?"
"I... I was just joking!" Wen Yueyin desperately pointed at Wen Xingluo, "She is indeed the youngest in our family. I... I am actually her older sister!"
"Fuck them!" the bandit said angrily, confused. "Just kill them all!"
Wen Xingluo had a blank expression on his face, and the golden hairpin held tightly in his hand was almost deeply embedded in his palm.
She stared at the bandit who was coming at her with a knife, and with her agile body, she dodged the knife and thrust the golden hairpin into the bandit's back from behind.
The bandit cried out in pain and turned to hack her.
Wen Xingluo didn't have time to pull out the golden hairpin and turned around to run, but the bandits grabbed her clothes and pushed her to the ground.
She groaned in pain, and when she looked up again, the blade was already within reach!
She subconsciously turned her head and closed her eyes.
“Zheng——”
Suddenly there was a sound of metal colliding.
Wen Xingluo slowly opened his eyes.
A familiar narrow knife appeared in front of her like a meteor and knocked down the big knife that was slashing towards her.
The narrow knife was deeply embedded in the ground for several inches, and the blade trembled slightly, making a clanging sound, which showed how much force the owner had used when throwing it.
All was silent.
Wen Xingluo looked towards the Taoist temple.
The red clothes reflected the firelight, dyeing her almond eyes red.
She said hoarsely, "Prince..."
Xie Guanlan walked down the stairs step by step, his crimson robe fluttering in the hot wind.
He drew his narrow knife and glanced at the bandit, "Do you know whose people you are touching?"
The young man's eyes were stern and murderous, just like a barren mountain and wild water, and his sharpness was even colder than the blade's edge.
The bandit was frightened and took two steps back subconsciously, "Thank you... Thank you Guanlan..."
The scene of thousands of brothers being surrounded and killed flashed before his eyes. The bandit suddenly regained his courage, picked up his sword, and rushed towards Xie Guanlan shouting.
Xie Guanlan raised his hand and swung his knife.
A drop of warm blood splashed on Wen Xingluo's cheek.
Her eyelashes trembled and she slowly raised her eyes.
The bandit's head rolled to the young man's feet.
The young man sheathed his knife indifferently, turned around, squatted on one knee in front of Wen Xingluo, and carefully examined her body.
Seeing that she was not hurt, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wiped the blood off her cheek.
Their eyes met.
The girl's almond-shaped eyes were as red as knotweed flowers, and a layer of mist had appeared in her pupils at some point.
Xie Guanlan saw his own face clearly in her watery eyes.
That face was filled with complex emotions that he had never seen before.
There is anger, worry, fear, and...
He was horrified by the emotion.
It was as if a giant whale transformed into Kunpeng, flapping its wings that covered the sky and the sun, slowly flying across the sea of his heart, quietly stirring up a huge wave.
He looked at the slender and charming girl in front of him, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his palm with thin calluses hovered beside the corners of the girl's eyes, as if he wanted to touch her face tenderly, but he couldn't, and he didn't dare.
For a long time, Xie Guanlan suppressed the strange and unfamiliar emotion, his brows gloomy, and coaxed in a low voice, "Ningning, don't be afraid."
He wanted to withdraw his hand.
Wen Xingluo suddenly took the initiative to put her cheek against his palm.
Xie Guanlan's pupils jumped suddenly.
Wen Xingluo stared into his narrow eyes, "But I'm just scared."
The girl's face was soft and delicate, and her almond eyes contained stubbornness and persistence.
Xie Guanlan's body was tense, like a taut bowstring.
The Kunpeng bird that blocked out the sun in his mind instantly transformed into thousands of flying birds, scattered in disorder in the sea of his heart, and thousands of colorful hibiscus flowers bloomed in the sea of his heart.
Wen Xingluo snuggled into his arms, her slender white fingertips tightly grasping his collar.
She sniffed the sandalwood scent on the young man and whispered, "But when I think of you being nearby, I'm not so scared anymore. When I released the Kongming lantern at Laojun Pavilion, for some reason, I had a feeling it would bring you here..."
The water is her first amulet.
The golden hairpin is her second amulet.
Xie Guanlan is her last amulet.
The girl opened her eyes in Xie Guanlan's arms.
In the past, I only thought that the eldest son of the Xie family was handsome.
In her previous life, she had never been close to a man. In this life, she wanted to experience what it was like to be with a man, so the handsome young master of the Xie family became her first choice.
But……
Amidst the panic in front of Laojun Pavilion, Wen Xingluo suddenly wanted more than just a taste of him.
The rapidly beating heart, the scorching body, the attachment of skin to skin, were more honest than the thoughts in her mind, all revealing her hidden feelings and thoughts -
If only I could be with him forever.
If only I could marry him.
Wen Xingluo closed his eyes.
Thinking of their identities, the unexpressible feelings quietly turned into a thin sharp blade, hurting her so much that she was in unbearable pain.
When Xie Guanlan held her sideways in his arms, she looked up at his jaw.
The stars fall from the night sky, and the sun rises from the end of the mountains and rivers of Shu County.
The sun, moon and stars in her world have become different because of him, as if painted with a more gorgeous and gentle color. The girl's mind is all things that grow wantonly. Wen Xingluo stood in the lush sea of blooming flowers and couldn't help thinking, so liking someone... is like this.
Wen Xingluo said in a very low voice, "I don't want to call you brother anymore."
