Red makeup against the world

Chapter 658 Lonely
The two walked like this for nearly a day. Although Liu Qilan was about to exhaust herself, she persisted with her stubbornness.

On the contrary, it was Fan Bin who went back and forth several times.I want to let go, but I am afraid that it will give her hope; I feel heartbroken, but I have to harden my heart.This day, his inner struggle felt more tiring than on the battlefield.

At this moment, seeing Liu Qilan talking about himself like this, and seeing her tears, Fan Bin's defenses were suddenly defeated.

"How can you say that about yourself?" He growled in a low voice, "You are obviously a good woman, but I have always failed you."

Chunhe Princess watched from the side, feeling that Fan Bin was not completely unintentional towards her.Adding firewood to help the fire, he said: "Captain Fan, Qilan is also the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion after all, when did she suffer such a crime?"

She took Liu Qilan's hand, opened her palm and showed it to Fan Bin: "Lieutenant Fan, take a look, these hands should have been well taken care of, but what is happening now? How can you bear it?"

Hearing what she said, Liu Qilan blushed pretty, quickly put her hands behind her back, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, don't blame him."

What a fool!Su Liangzhi sighed slightly, turned around and went into the room, took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine box, handed it to Princess Chunhe and said, "Give her this, or it will hurt even more tomorrow."

Princess Chunhe glared at Liu Qilan: "Take out your hand."

Liu Qilan reluctantly spread out her palms, allowing Chunhe Princess to apply the medicine for her.

Only then did Fan Bin see that her palms had been scratched by the reins in several places, and there were still several blisters.No matter how gentle Chunhe Princess applied the medicine, it would still touch the wound, which made Liu Qilan shiver a little.

Su Liangzhi signaled Fan Bin to go out of the courtyard with him, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Fan, we are considered acquainted. Tell me honestly, what is your plan for this matter?"

Fan Bin smiled wryly, and said: "Doctor Su, you know me, she is the only person in my heart." However, Xu Wanzhen is already married, and now he can't even mention her name.

"I know, but you can't die alone." Su Liangzhi gently persuaded: "Let me say a few more words, maybe you are the only descendant of the Fan family, and your parents are still looking forward to you as their descendants."

Fan Bin was slightly taken aback. After he became General Long's adoptive son, he also managed to find his parents.However, apart from the gold lock piece engraved with his name and birth date on his body, there is no trace of clues.The population in the northwestern border is frequent, and those old people have disappeared and there is no way to find them.

Seeing his expression, Su Liangzhi continued: "With your status, you will get married sooner or later. Not to mention your adoptive father, General Long, even if the emperor sees that you have not yet married, he will help you marry him. Until then, you might as well Pick one that suits you."

Fan Bin leaned against the courtyard wall, silently looking at the few scattered stars hanging in the sky.At this moment, his mood is like those stars, cold and lonely.

Su Liangzhi said, how could he not know?Every time the foster father wrote to him, he would ask about it, and recently he even wanted to marry a woman from the same clan of the Long family to him.Although the emperor didn't mention it for the time being, in the past two years he has always been asked to attend banquets attended by some noble ladies, and the intention is self-evident.

He is now 23 years old.All over the world, there are really only a handful of men at this age who have not yet married a wife.However, his heart was filled with Xu Wanzhen, even though he couldn't get her heart, he only wanted to watch her from afar and protect her.

Let him marry another woman?He couldn't imagine how to spend the rest of his life with another woman.

He has been evading, wishing to spend every day in the barracks training soldiers, and he does not want to attend those banquets with rich clothes and shadows.But he knew in his heart that he couldn't hide for a few years.The adoptive father can still refuse, but if the imperial decree is issued, can he still resist the decree?

Seeing his appearance, Su Liangzhi let out a long sigh, the word love really hurts people a lot.

His niece is indeed a woman worth paying for, but Naihe never fell in love with him.It's fine if you don't see him, but now that you met, Su Liangzhi couldn't bear to see Fan Bin suffer so much, so he spoke to persuade him.

"Think about it yourself, escape is not the way after all." Su Liangzhi patted him on the shoulder and turned back to the courtyard.

Sensing his concern, Fan Bin nodded.

After a long while of silence, he took out a wine bag from the luggage carried by his horse, and drank it while silently looking at the stars in the sky and thinking about his thoughts.

As the night gradually deepened, he heard that all the neighbors had gone to rest, heard Princess Chunhe apply the medicine for Liu Qilan and turned back to the room, and heard Princess Chunhe whispering persuasion.

Regarding Liu Qilan's stubbornness and persistence, it is impossible to say that he was not moved in the slightest.

However, at first he couldn't let go of Xu Wanzhen, and felt that if he married Liu Qilan, it would be unfair to Liu Qilan if he was thinking about others.Secondly, although he is in the capital, he is actually from the lineage of General Long, and he will return sooner or later.Liu Qilan is a delicate woman, does she want to go back to the northwest frontier with him to suffer?
After thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, there was a flash of fire in the corner of his eye.He stared, and saw a cluster of flames ignited in a yard separated from them, and it turned into a raging fire in an instant.

He raised his eyebrows, put down the wine bag with his right hand and pressed it on the sword, and his whole body was as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath.

There was a flash of a figure beside him, it was Xiao Qiwei's guard.While away from home, although they are not directly subordinate, the subordinate relationship is determined by official rank.

He clasped his fists to obey the order: "My lord!"

Fan Bin nodded and ordered: "You go and wake up the third master and his wife immediately, and stand ready. The other two are guarding the yard, and the other two are patrolling outside. Do you have a password?"

Xiao Qiwei said: "Yes, tonight, the frog is safe, and the night owl is attacking."

"Okay, I'll check the situation. If something is wrong, protect the son-in-law and they will leave first, and leave me alone."

The Xiao cavalry guard responded cleanly, and went to send orders to arrange manpower.

There was a sound in the courtyard, and the people who had just rested were startled.Liu Qilan's eyes were blurred, she had only slept for an hour, and the pain all over her body was getting worse.

Princess Chunhe had finished dressing, and called her in a low voice: "Qi Lan! Get up quickly. I'm afraid I've encountered some danger."

Liu Qilan woke up all of a sudden, dressed hurriedly, and asked, "Sister Chunhe, what's going on?"

Princess Chunhe shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Captain Fan has gone to check the situation, we'll wait for now."

Su Liangzhi came in from the outside, handed them the short dagger, and said, "Just in case, for self-protection."

Chunhe Princess took it calmly.When walking in the rivers and lakes, she will naturally encounter dangers. She has seen it twice, and she is not panicked.

But although Liu Qilan left home for Fan Bin, she didn't know enough about such danger.Holding the dagger in her hand trembling slightly, seeing the cold light reflected on the dagger, she felt that she was really in danger.
