Chapter 117: The Past
The sky had turned dark. After Luo Hun was awakened by the cold, he still couldn't see Lanlan.
I was worried that she might meet another beggar who robbed her, get beaten up in some corner, or hide away and cry anxiously.
Luo Hun was sweating coldly and had a high fever. He stumbled out of the ruined temple and was inconsolable.
"Girl..., where are you?"
After searching everywhere he could, Luo Hun realized that the silly girl who had accompanied him and depended on him... was missing!
He fainted on the road and was picked up by his master.
Later, when his master asked him if he wanted to learn martial arts, he nodded seriously, knelt on the ground, and begged his master to be kind enough to accept Lanlan.
The master and he searched for three days and three nights, but still couldn't find Lanlan.
It was not until many years later that his junior brother ascended the throne and became emperor.
Luo Hun discovered that among the adopted daughters who were named regents, there was a girl with big, round, bright eyes that looked very much like Lanlan.
If that timid and silly girl grew up, she would look like her.
He approached her intentionally and tested her, but she deceived his heart. Her figure and the girl's face were all in his mind day and night.
Waking up in the middle of the night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and got up with dark circles under his eyes, going against his master's teachings.
Taking advantage of the night, I sneaked into her room, looking for an answer.
Swish!
A long sword was placed on his shoulder. The night was dark and Xin Rulan's voice sounded from behind him.
"You are quite skilled in martial arts, but you are not a gentleman, but a flower thief."
"Turn around."
Luo Hun knew that it was inappropriate to break into an unmarried woman's bedroom at night, so he slowly turned around and revealed his true face.
"It's you!" Xin Rulan was a little shocked. She had seen him before. "Why did you do this?"
Luo Hun's eyes were complicated. He held her sword, ignoring the blood on his palm, and pulled her closer as if pulling a rope.
"Girl, I'm sorry!"
With lightning speed, he tore off the collar of her shoulder, revealing the circular scar on her shoulder, which was exactly the same as the one on the girl.
Luo Hun's pupils shrank. It really was a girl!
Xin Rulan was startled and pushed him against the wall with a palm. The long sword cut a deep bloody mark on Luo Hun's palm.
The long sword pressed into his neck, piercing his skin, and asked: "You! Who are you?"
Luo Hun dropped all his defenses, his voice choked, "Silly girl, it's me!"
"I finally found you. Do you remember the days when we were together in the ruined temple?"
Why did he know all this? Xin Rulan's heart skipped a beat, and the vigilance in her eyes gradually disappeared.
The force of the long sword pressing on his neck loosened, and it fell to the ground with a swish.
"You're the little brother! Are you still alive?"
Xin Rulan hugged him excitedly. The warm embrace instantly brought them back to their childhood when they depended on each other.
The two hearts were tightly attached to each other, like a lone person in the desert who finally found a companion, and they let out a soul-like sigh.
Because of Xin Rulan's identity, their relationship was hidden in the dark. Time passed quickly and they grew up day by day.
Today is the first time that Luo Hun has been promoted since joining the army, and he wants to go to Xin Rulan's house to propose marriage.
Even faster than his promotion came the news of Xin Rulan's marriage. Luo Hunru was struck by lightning, and she had to marry someone else as his second wife.
The man was powerful and influential. He was old enough to be her father, and he had countless concubines at home.
That night he sneaked into her boudoir, held her hand clumsily like when they were children, and said affectionately.
"Lanlan, let's elope."
The night was too dark, and he could not see the determination and sadness on her face. He only remembered that she had promised him.
The elopement was a success, and the two of them quietly left the capital.
In a simple open carriage.
Xin Rulan picked a piece of dogtail grass and swept it across his nose, causing Luo Hun to sneeze.
The sound of the wheels rolling in the mountains was particularly beautiful. Xin Rulan lay in the carriage and felt like a dogtail grass.
Moving with the wind, she is no longer a chess piece at the mercy of others, she is free.
She was full of longing and gestured in the air with foxtail grass.
"Men farm and women weave, working each day and resting."
"We must plant an osmanthus tree near our house. The osmanthus fragrance is so fragrant, and we can make sachets to sell and use it to make wine."
"If you miss me, you can look at the osmanthus flowers and smell their fragrance..."
"Just like an ordinary couple, raising some chickens and ducks, growing some vegetables, and living a down-to-earth life."
"good."
Like Xin Rulan, Luo Hun looks forward to his future life.
Apart from Xin Rulan's gradually weakening health, they lived a fairy-like life for a while.
Until the Regent himself found them.
Luo Hun took the sick Xin Rulan into exile.
The Regent had a gloomy face. Although Luo Hun's identity as His Majesty's senior brother was a bit tricky, it was only a little difficult.
"Ru Lan, come here. I've raised you for so long, and this is how you repay me. Don't forget..."
The Regent calmly mouthed a threat to her.
He firmly believed that Xin Rulan would choose him.
Xin Rulan laughed loudly, and with her weak body she rushed up the mountain like crazy and stood on the edge of the cliff.
Her body was so thin and frail that it seemed as if she would fall backwards with just a slight breeze.
Luo Hun was terrified. Incompetence and self-blame were like huge waves, drowning him. He cried out: "Lanlan, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive."
Xin Rulan sneered: "Father, you won't get what you want."
"I don't want to be a pawn anymore. Don't even think about using me anymore."
She opened her arms, laughed wantonly, and burst into self-deprecating hatred. "Look, this is the place I chose on purpose. Isn't the scenery beautiful?"
The Regent was stunned. He stepped forward and said, "Rulan, don't be impulsive. I won't force you. I agree to let you marry this boy, but it must be arranged by His Majesty."
The Regent took a step forward and said hypocritically, "What I said is true, Rulan. Of all my children, you are the one I love the most."
fraud! !
"Don't come over." Xin Rulan sneered and ignored him.
He turned to look at Luo Hun, his eyes full of reluctance and tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Little brother, this is the last time I call you little brother."
"These days are the happiest days of my life. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago, so there's no need to be sad."
"I'm so lucky to have met you in this life. If only you and I hadn't separated back then, how wonderful it would have been!"
For the first time since they met again, she showed the innocence and timidity she had when they first met.
"It's a pity that we can't go back."
"You must live well for me and become a great general."
The thin figure fell down and told the story again, but Luo Hun's blood still froze and his heart was dead.
Bai Feng sneered, "Why don't you jump in too?"
yes!
In his dreams at midnight, Luo Hun asked himself countless times why he didn't jump with her.
