Da Suining

Chapter 188 Sharpening the Knife
To cook is to cook.

Xiang Suining and Lan Tui sat cross-legged, lighted the dry firewood in a leisurely manner, placed them along the pillars, and started a fire in a big way.

"It would be great if there were two sweet potatoes. This baked sweet potato is the most delicious." Xiang Suining said.

"Yeah, it's good to have sweet potatoes, or you can bake two potatoes. The baked potatoes are also delicious."

The people inside the pillar seemed to hold their breath and did not make a sound.

Unable to stop Xiang Suining and Lan Tui from getting involved with him, they just refused to leave.

The smoke from the firewood kept pouring into the pillars, even if I endured it, I couldn't bear it for long.

After a while, when a piece of firewood was about to burn out, a curse came from the pillar: "You...you two deliberately made trouble, you..."

"Manly man, if you have something to say, you can say it to your face, and you are a hero if you hide."

"You don't care if I'm a hero or not. Who are you, and you deserve me to tell you face to face? Cough cough cough..."

"Well then, just hide in the pillar and don't come out."

"If you don't come out, you won't come out. I think you can still order the living room. Cough cough cough..."

It took another cup of tea.

"Cough cough cough..." A violent cough: "Okay okay... I can't take it anymore... You guys... cough cough cough... do you want my life? Cough cough cough..." I only heard a muffled sound coming from the pillar, and then someone turned the pillar. It seemed to turn a few times to the left and a few times to the right. Like a door, it opened.

Xiang Suining was dumbfounded.

It turns out that people can hide in the pillars in the living room.

The secrets under the ground did not happen overnight. Just seeing that Mrs. Lan had a child a few years ago, one can know that this underground hole has been around for at least two or three years, but no one has ever discovered it.

Are some people afraid to speak out because of their power, or are they too secretive, with several exits so they have not been discovered?

Anyway, Guo Cheng couldn't bear it anymore.

If it continues to be smoked, it must be turned into smoked ham.

Guo Kai jumped out wearing a mask, and jumped directly onto the bed in the living room. He was still holding the dagger in his hand, looking quite vigilant: "Xiang Suining, let me go, we will not violate the river."

"It turned out to be an old man." Lan Tui snorted: "I think that the second girl almost died just now, so it was thanks to Your Excellency?"

"That's what she asked for."

"In my opinion, it's not asking for it, it's just doing justice for the heavens."

"Do justice for the sky? Then you have to catch me first."

"If you catch him without a fight, everyone will be less injured. If you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."

"Lan Tui, don't think that your mother is a princess, I won't dare to do anything to you, if you dare to touch my finger, I will tell Father...I mean...I will tell..."

"Should you tell the concubine concubine?" Lan Tui snorted, "Guo Kai, there is no need to cover up, a man of seven feet, if he dares to act or not, it will make people laugh, so take off the mask."

"How do you know I'm Guo Cheng?"

Lan Fai and Xiang Suining looked at each other.

Who can't hear Guo Cheng's voice?

Just can't hear his voice, he is so fat that a cow can sit on his butt, who doesn't know in Qingcheng?
He is called the emperor "Father Emperor", and he is the only one of the emperor's sons.

Seeing that he was exposed, Guo Kai raised his dagger and stabbed at Lan Tui: "Since you dare to block my way, then I can only block people and kill people, and Buddha blocks and kill Buddha. Lan Tui, you are too lenient."

Seeing that Guo Kai's dagger was about to stab Lan Tuan's neck, Lan Tui turned around, tilted his head, and stretched out his hand to hold Guo Kai's wrist. With a light tap of the knife in his hand, Guo Kai let go of his hand, and the dagger fell. land.

Seeing that Guo Kai was at a disadvantage, he was not reconciled, and his other hand groped around his waist for a while, and he came out with something, which seemed to be powder, and when he threw it into the air, a puff of white smoke floated up, and Lan Huai couldn't dodge it in time , White smoke rushed to his face, Lan Tui closed his eyes immediately, his eyes hurt, and tears kept flowing.

Make dirty tricks.

I knew that Guo Cheng was not a tired person.

But Lan Fade was negligent.

Guo Kai triumphantly broke away from Lan Tui's hand, and jumped off the bed with his feet kicked: "You want to fight with me, but you are still a little naive, thinking that you are omnipotent because you are the Imperial Guard? You are defeated."

"Don't go." Xiang Suining grabbed the unburned firewood and threw it at Guo Kai. Just now his crotch was on fire, and the boy kicked him in the crotch for a long time to put the fire out. Now he sees the fire again , Guo Kai felt lingering fear, dodged, stepped on the threshold and slipped, and fell to the ground with a dog gnawing shit.

Although Lan Fai's eyes hurt, even with his eyes closed, he could tell the direction of Guo Kai with his hearing. He drew his knife and flew out in the air. He stepped on the threshold and borrowed his strength to fly out. , just stepped on Guo Cheng.

"You two... dog and boy." Guo Kai grinned in pain.

"Master Xiao Lan, how are you?" Xiang Suining quickly took out the handkerchief in his sleeve, gently wiped Lan Tui, wiped off the powder on Lan Tui's face, and blew on his eyes.

Tears washed away the sundries in the eye sockets, and it got better.

Gradually, Lan Fai was able to open his eyes: "Thank you, Second Miss."

"It should be me thanking Master Xiaolan for saving his life."

"It's a little effort, the second girl is polite."

"If it wasn't for Master Xiaolan, I would have died at this time, how could it be easy? Thanks to Master Xiaolan who risked his life to save me. The kindness of Master Xiaolan will never be forgotten even after death."

The two of you came and went, and they were polite.

"Xiang Suining, Lan Tui, you are going too far." Guo Kai was lying on the ground, trying to get up, but was trampled by Lan Tui, so he could only thump the ground and said, "I'm still alive, you two are flirting with each other like this, Xiang Suining , do you remember that my father is going to betroth you to me, you will be my man in the future, do you think I am dead?"

"Of course I don't think you're dead." Xiang Suining said coldly, "You are a dignified prince, how can you die?"

"It's good for you to know, I am the prince, even if I make a big mistake, my father will forgive me, but you, dare to cooperate with outsiders to trouble me, Xiang Suining, if you let me go at this time Me, I will let the past go, as if nothing happened, if you dare to pursue it any further—”

"so what?"

"Then - after you marry me, I won't give you good fruit. I'm afraid you don't understand my methods."

"I understand the methods of the second prince very well."

"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you let me go?

"Don't let go."

"You——" Guo Cheng had no choice but to go to Lan Tui and say to Lan Tui, "Lan Tui, you are the imperial guards who protect the imperial city and our palace." Human, in the final analysis, you are just a dog raised by our family. If you let me go, I will not hold grudges against you. Otherwise, you will never have good fruit in the future. Don’t think your mother is a princess. You can be lawless, my mother is a concubine, in the heart of the emperor, is your mother or my mother more important? You, the son of a princess, dare to challenge the son of the emperor?"

"Dare you dare, haven't you already challenged it?"

"You let me go now, you still have a chance."

"I don't want a chance."

"You—you—" Guo Kai thumped the ground angrily.

"Let's go, let's go." Suddenly, a row of soldiers wearing dark red armor and holding spears came forward, surrounded the few people in the cave just now, Guo Kai and a group of imperial guards.

"The emperor has a decree." A man wearing a third-rank official robe came in front of Lan Tui: "The emperor has a decree. Hearing about the Huguo Temple, the emperor was very worried. He sent an adjutant from the Punishment Department to interrogate a few people. .”

As the man spoke, he showed his waist card.

Lan Fai had seen it, it was the badge of the Department of Punishment.

As soon as the adjutant of the Punishment Department waved his hand, several soldiers ran up, one of them supported Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Lan and others, and then two more soldiers came to support Xiang Suining's arms.

"My lord, is this?" Lan Fai stopped with a knife: "This girl——"

"Lord Lan, what an offence." The adjutant of the Punishment Department cupped his hands and said, "The matter of the Huguo Temple is very important to the emperor. The news has spread and I heard that this girl is also involved in it, so... Please also ask the girl to come with us for a while. Come on, if you don't do the girl's business, the girl will definitely be sent back unscathed."

"Lord Xiaolan, I'm fine." Xiang Suining gave Lan Tuan a blessing: "I'd like to go to the Punishment Department. Don't worry, Master Xiaolan."

"Then—you pay attention to everything."

"I remember."

A group of people left the Huguo Temple in a mighty way, and went to the Punishment Division.

Lan Tui paid the price, returned to Changxinhou's mansion, ate the food hastily, and shut himself in the room to sharpen his knife.

He doesn't sharpen his knives easily.

Once you sharpen your knife, you have your own thoughts.

Princess Guo took Lan Yu and knocked on the door of Lan Tuan's room.

Lan's faded armor was still on, and his sharp-edged face was full of calmness and determination.

"My son and I, our mothers—" Princess Guo smiled awkwardly while sitting on the couch: "After eating, I couldn't fall asleep, so I went out to enjoy the flowers, the moon, and wandered around. I just walked over to you and came in to have a look.”

The clouds were thick that night, there were no stars, and the moon did not know where it had disappeared.

The sweet-scented osmanthus has already bloomed, all the flowers in the mansion are withered, and the cold wind is raging, where are there flowers to admire?

Lan Tui knew it well, and slowly straightened the whetstone, sprinkled some water on the knife and sharpened it "squeaky": "If you have something to do, mother, you can tell me directly."

"That—it's hard work for a whole day. How come you sharpen your knife without changing your clothes or eating two bites of food?"

"Brother, who are you going to kill?" Lan Xie smiled foolishly, and looked at Lan Tuo with his hands on his cheeks in admiration.

Lan Fai has always been the hero in Lan Heng's heart.

Princess Guo patted Lan Heng's hand: "It's a good day, how can you beat and kill, your brother is just sharpening his knife."

"My brother only sharpens his knife when he wants to kill."

"Younger, don't talk nonsense." Although Princess Guo suppressed Lanyin's words, she was in a state of turmoil in her heart: "Faier, it's not mother who said that this job belongs to someone else's family, and my life is my own." Even if it's a big deal, you have to think about yourself first, mother forbids you to do those desperate things, but you want to pass on the family line of the Lan family, do you understand?"

"My child understands."

"It's good to understand, but what happened? Mother sees that you are restless."

"Not--no." Lan faded lowered his head to sharpen his knife, his eyes were still a little red, he didn't raise his head, for fear that Princess Guo would see it and ask the truth again.

Princess Guo sat for a while, but she couldn't ask anything, so she had to leave.

Lan Xi kept an eye out, deliberately slowed down a few steps, leaned close to Lan Tui, stared into his eyes and said, "Brother, why are your eyes as red as rabbits?"

"not at all."

"I still don't admit it. I've seen it all. You can fool your mother, but you can't fool me. I'm staring at you."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I know, my mouth is tight." Lan Yu giggled, "Brother, are you crying?"

"No."

"I don't believe it, otherwise why are your eyes so red?"

"I……"

"Brother, I heard that someone can easily make another person cry. I don't know if it's true."

"There are no such people in the world."

"I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."

"Believe what?"

"Believe that someone can easily make you cry."

"Who?"

"Of course it's your sweetheart." Lan Yu lowered her head and smiled happily: "Brother, did your sweetheart say something that made you sad, so your eyes are red?"

"I do not have."

"Brother, no matter what, I will be by your side, don't be sad, sharpen your knife for a while, go to sleep, or mother will worry about you."

"it is good."

"Then I'm leaving, brother."

"Okay. Go to sleep."

Lan Yu walked to the door, leaned against the door and turned back: "Brother."

"Ok?"

"Brother, mother said that you are restless, so... Are you worried about some girl?"

"I... go to bed, baby."

"I know who my brother is worried about."

"Who?"

"Look, look, by saying that, I'm admitting that I'm worried about her." Dimples appeared at the corner of Lan Yu's smiling mouth: "Brother, you are worried about Miss Xiang's family, right?"

This time, Lan Fai did not speak.

While sharpening the knife, the image of Xiang Suining appeared in his mind, and he was a little stunned.

Are you worried about her?

Are you worried about her?

But can't tell.

Some people hold some words in their hearts, they are very melancholy, but they can't speak.

Although I didn't talk about it, I couldn't help thinking about it in my mind.

Lan Yu rubbed against the door, as if scratching an itch: "Brother, don't worry, although I don't know what happened, but I know Miss Xiang is a kind person, she will be auspicious, and the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth will bless her. "

Princess Guo saw Lan Xie talking furtively there, so she called her: "Xi'er, it's getting late, don't pester your brother."

Lan Heng quickly ran over and hugged Princess Guo's arm, swinging and swinging there like she was holding a swing.

"What are you talking to your brother? Do you speak so vigorously?" Princess Guo stopped in her tracks.

"I didn't say anything, I just felt that my brother was working hard and wanted him to rest earlier."

"My son-in-law has grown up and is sensible." Princess Guo tilted her head and leaned on Lan's shoulder: "But your brother is getting older, he seems to be more thoughtful, and mother doesn't know what he is thinking."
