Chapter 359 Xie Guanlan, take me home
The girl tilted her head back, tears caused by the fire rolling down her eyes uncontrollably.
A deafening sound came from directly above.
The largest wooden skeleton in the abdominal cavity of the Bodhisattva of Light was completely broken.
Wen Xingluo looked at the huge tree falling from the sky.
"Xie Guanlan, take me home..."
It's like a prayer that has been silently recited a thousand times.
It seemed that as long as she called out that name, that person would appear beside her.
And just as her last syllable fell, a snow-white figure came rushing towards them!
The girl looked back.
The Jade Lion of Zhaoye was galloping against the sea of fire, its jade-white mane shaking violently in the hot wind. The young man on horseback had his hair tied up with a golden hairpin and looked like a ghost. He was wearing a scarlet robe that was more dazzling than the flames!
The narrow knife fell from his hand, and with the powerful and terrifying internal force, he suddenly attacked the huge tree falling above him!
The forces counteracted each other, and the broken wood paused slightly in the air.
In just a moment, the Jade Lion Zhaoye appeared beside Wen Xingluo.
The young man reached out and pulled the girl into his arms.
The horse neighed, raised its four hooves high, and jumped out of the circle of fire nimbly.
Behind him, the huge tree fell down with a loud bang, creating a huge deep pit on the spot!
Hot air covering.
Wen Xingluo tightly grasped Xie Guanlan's sleeve and looked up at his face.
The firelight shone on his face. The young man's facial features were deep, gorgeous and almost enchanting. His high, straight nose was like the most beautiful stroke on a calligraphy piece. His narrow, dark and deep eyes reflected the firelight like a sea of fallen stars.
As if noticing her gaze, Xie Guanlan lowered his eyes to look at her.
Then those narrow eyes were completely occupied by her figure.
Wen Xingluo didn't know whether there were gods in the world.
But she couldn't help but think that at this moment, she had a god all her own.
…
With Pei Lin's suicide, the princes in Jiangnan became a mess.
Wen Xingluo rested for two days.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of the fire that night, the people in the city had no intention of celebrating the festival. The officials of Lin'an Prefecture were busy rebuilding the streets and alleys to recover the losses, and had not made any proper preparations for the festival.
Wen Xingluo thought about it and decided to cook a table of dishes himself.
The moon is full tonight.
She held a banquet in the garden pavilion and specially invited Xie Guanlan, Xie Zan and Wei Ying to attend. However, because of Pei Lin's death, the atmosphere was surprisingly strange when the four of them sat together.
Xie Guanlan stroked the cup and his eyes fell on Wen Xingluo.
The moonlight was quiet, and several palace lanterns in the pavilion cast light and shadows. The girl had rabbit earlobes hanging in a bun, wore a pine green ice silk open-collared top, paired with a moon-white chest-length skirt embroidered with jade rabbits, and wore a lotus root powder embroidered osmanthus branch shawl, which was popular in the south of the Yangtze River. She looked very beautiful and graceful.
He reached out and touched the back of her hand. Seeing her skin was warm, he gave up the idea of asking the maid to get her a cloak.
He spoke, but his words were directed to Wei Ying, "I intend to ascend the throne and become emperor. There is no turning back. I will also seize all the counties south of the Yangtze River."
The implication was that Wei Ying should surrender.
Wei Ying's eyelashes drooped, one hand supporting her face, and the other hand tapping the jade wine cup with ivory chopsticks.
Pei Lin is gone.
Although she has been working hard to restore her country since she was a child, no one has ever taught her how to be a king.
Now that Pei Lin committed suicide, she understands these things even less.
Therefore, she didn't know how to deal with Xie Guanlan, nor did she know how to coordinate the affairs of the world.
But despite this, she knew she couldn't surrender.
How shameful it is to be the last monarch of a dynasty and surrender to another monarch!
How will she face her parents in the afterlife?
She couldn't surrender.
Wen Xingluo also lowered his brows.
She stared at the full moon reflected in the teacup and whispered, "Do you really have to say these words on Mid-Autumn Festival?"
My cousin is infertile, so in the future, the Jiangnan region will be inherited by her unborn child, and the unification of the north and the south is only a matter of time.
Why bother forcing my cousin to surrender?
Xie Guanlan remained calm, "Some things must be made clear in advance."
"Cousin cannot be the last monarch of the Wei Dynasty." Wen Xingluo suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at Xie Guanlan, "The child in my belly is the one who will be the last monarch of the Wei Dynasty."
Xie Guanlan chuckled. "Ningning is asking me to keep Jiangnan for Wei Gaoyang? To let her continue to be the king of Jiangnan?"
Wen Xingluo asked back, "Isn't it possible?"
There was silence in the pavilion for a long time, and Xie Guanlan slowly put down his wine cup.
He glanced at the still silent Wei Ying and said, "I wish to make my third brother the King of Jiangnan. He will have the final say on what happens in Jiangnan."
Wei Ying looked at him suddenly.
Xie Guanlan had already stood up and left.
"Xie Ziheng! What do you mean?!"
Wen Xingluo hurriedly chased after him.
Only Wei Ying and Xie Zan were left in the pavilion.
Wei Ying looked at him with gritted teeth.
Xie Zan took a leisurely sip of osmanthus wine and tugged at his collar with a half-smile. "My elder brother really cares about me. Jiangnan is a prosperous land, a land of fish and rice. I am very satisfied. Or -"
Xie Zan lifted the corner of Wei Ying's sleeve and put it under his nose to sniff. "Wei Gaoyang, if you act coquettishly towards me, I will beg my elder brother to make you the King of Jiangnan. I can marry into your Wei family and become the Princess of Jiangnan."
The expression on the young man's face was extremely annoying.
Wei Ying tried to endure it again and again, but found that she couldn't endure it anymore.
She finally figured it out. Xie Guanlan did it on purpose.
He deliberately used this method to force himself to get close to Xie Zan!
Xie Guanlan...he is really a good brother!
A sneer appeared on the girl's face.
The next moment, Xie Zan was punched hard in the face and flew backwards!
"Hiss..." He crawled to sit up, covering his face and yelling, "Wei Gaoyang, are you sick?! Don't you know how much it hurts when you hit someone?!"
Wei Ying glared at him, then turned and walked away, sword in hand.
The other side.
Wen Xingluo caught up to Xie Guanlan and punched him in the chest. "All my cousin wants is a decent exit. Why are you being so aggressive?!"
Xie Guanlan clasped her small hand with his big palm and said in a gentle voice, "Third brother likes her, I want to bring them together."
"Are you trying to match people up? You're clearly deliberately humiliating my cousin!"
"Humiliation?" Xie Guanlan laughed angrily. "Who humiliated whom more over the years? How many times has your cousin killed my third brother? My third brother has scars all over his body. Those who don't know him would think that being a spy is very hard for him, but in fact, most of them are thanks to your cousin! And that dog tag——"
He stopped talking, too embarrassed to continue.
The Zhenbei Palace is a family that values reputation very much. He was too embarrassed to tell others that his third brother was working as a dog for a young girl in the capital.
Wen Xingluo gritted his teeth and came to his senses.
She did it for her cousin, but Xie Guanlan did it for his third brother.
She pulled her hand back and glared at him, "Xie Guanlan, if my cousin is unhappy, don't even think about marrying me."
Xie Guanlan: “…”
Wen Xingluo turned and left.
Xie Guanlan rarely lost his composure and angrily chased after her, "Ningning!"
Wen Xingluo hurried back to the dormitory and locked the door.
She turned around and saw Wei Ying already sitting in the room.
Their eyes met.
Wen Xingluo suddenly laughed, "He's giving advice to his third brother, so I'll give some advice to my cousin."
