Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 67

gather together

On the third day after receiving the letter from Anshun, Anshun arrived in the capital.The moment Anshun entered the city gate, spies from the East Palace rushed to report to An Linmian, An Mai, and An Tu.

“Quick, An Ran! Copy the guy!” An Linmian held a stick in his left hand and a broom in his right hand. He shouted as he ran into the main courtyard where An Ran and An Xiaoyu were. “Get ready to close the door and beat the dog! Where is Xiao Jin? An Xiao Jin!!”

An Linmian thrust the broom in his right hand to An Ran, while looking left and right for An Xiaojin.Although An Xiaojin is usually good, when he loses his temper, he won’t listen to anyone except An Ran. Therefore, to prevent Xiao Jin from accidentally hurting others, he only takes An Ran out when he goes out, and keeps him locked up in the East Palace the rest of the time.Fortunately, the East Palace is also large, and there is a separate place called the Royal Beast Garden, which houses many auspicious animals that have been sent as tribute from various places. Therefore, An Xiaojin is not bored, and runs to ‘play with cats and dogs’ from time to time.

At this time, An Xiaojin was in the animal garden. When he heard a familiar call, he immediately rushed over following the sound. Within a moment, An Xiaojin’s mighty and vigorous figure appeared in the field of vision of An Ran, An Xiaoyu, and An Linmian.

Following An Xiaojin were An Mai and An Tu, who were left behind by An Linmian.One of them held a large broom made of bamboo, and the other held a long bamboo board.Both of them had bright eyes and high morale.

Another servant came to report that Anshun had entered Donghua Gate.After entering Donghua Gate, you are not far from the East Palace.An Linmian waved his stick and called to several people: “Get ready!”

The two thick and majestic red lacquered doors of the East Palace are usually not open, so you have to go in and out through the small door next to it.But at this time, the red lacquer door opened wide inward, and An Linmian and An Tu were hiding behind the door, one on the left and the other on the right, just waiting to “close the door” and “beat the dog.”

A tall black figure quickly passed through the corner door. Anshun was tall and had long legs. The wind caused by his long strides caused the hem of his black riding uniform to rise backwards.

After not seeing each other for a year, Anshun has not changed much. He still has the same cold, serious face without much expression, but those black eyes have some indescribable complex emotions in the pure depth.

Anshun walked eagerly, looking straight at the empty corridor in front of him. He didn’t even notice the two “doormen” staring at him behind the door, or the red lacquered door that was slowly closing.

Anshun had not yet walked through the corridor when the two red-lacquered doors closed and locked with a bang behind him.The sound of the lock falling was like a whistle, and the tacit understanding of the four friends was fully displayed at this moment.Anshun turned his head suddenly and saw An Linmian holding a stick in his left hand and An Tu holding a broom in his right hand, standing on the left and right behind the closed red lacquer door, looking at him with a sinister grin.

Anshun’s stern expression turned into shock in an instant, the surprise had just formed on his face, and then turned into panic: “Mian, Mianmian, you, wait -” Anshun spoke intermittently, as if he wanted to explain but had no excuse, and as An Linmian and An Tu approached step by step, he involuntarily stepped back.

The glint in the eyes of An Linmian and An Tu had obviously made Anshun understand the priorities. Almost at the moment An Linmian and An Tu raised the sticks and brooms, Anshun turned around and ran away. However, he only had time to run two steps. The moment he turned his head, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

At the end of the corridor, in the middle of the front courtyard covered with blue bricks, Anmai was standing there looking at him with a smile, a long flat bamboo piece in his right hand gently tapping the palm of his left hand up and down.Beside his legs, An Xiaojin’s golden wolf eyes were astonishingly bright. His mouth was slightly open, his tail was slowly turning and wagging, and he was staring at him with burning eyes.

For the first time, An Ran saw a frightened to “cowardly” expression on Anshun’s face.

Anshun: “Mai, Maizi, you, you listen to me—”

“What the hell!” Before he could finish speaking, following An Linmian’s order, three men and one wolf were dispatched at the same time, attacking from both sides.

Out of instinct, Anshun raised his legs and ran to the side, and bumped into An Ran who was guarding on the right.Anshun’s expression at this time was extremely wonderful, but his reaction was also extremely fast.There were tigers and wolves chasing after him, and even though he had a thousand words to say, he couldn’t say anything at the moment. He could only cast a glance at An Ran for help. An Ran returned his gaze with deep sympathy, and at the same time quietly took half a step to the side.

A black afterimage passed by An Ran’s eyes, and four colorful figures ran past An Ran’s eyes.After a moment, An Linmian did not forget to yell at An Ran: “An Ran! You traitor!”

The spotless blue bricks and stones played the music. Although there were no silk and bamboo orchestral instruments, the critical tension of being ambushed on all sides and besieged on all sides was vividly expressed.

An Ran turned her head silently, unable to bear to look.

An Xiaoyu was looking at him deeply from the other end.

An Ran subconsciously avoided looking.An Xiaoyu watched him approaching, with a pleading look that he didn’t want to see.

“No, Ran Ran.” These days, An Xiaoyu only said this to him. It seemed that as long as he kept repeating it, he could impress An Ran with his persistence, and as long as he kept begging, he could make An Ran soften and stay for him.

An Ran knew that he was waiting for him to give in.

But An Ran could only answer with one sentence: “Lu Qian, I’m just assuming that prisoner may not be able to do it.”

“What if,” An Xiaoyu looked down at him with pleading eyes, waiting for his mercy, “However, I want you to promise me that even if you can go back, you will not leave.”

“Of course, you promise me you will never abandon me.”

“Of course, we are married, and I am also your relative. You can’t do this to me.”

“Of course, you promise me…Of course, I won’t let anyone go find Jian Zheng. I won’t let him show up before you promise me.”

First the plea, then the threat.When Lu Qian looked at her, An Ran’s heart ached every moment, but she couldn’t make a guarantee.

“Lu Qian, I can’t,” An Ran said softly, “This is An Le’s body.”

“Anshun! If I don’t break your legs today, we will take your surname!” The pursuit of Anshun, An Linmian, Antu, and Anmai entered a fierce stage, and the flower pots carefully placed in the vestibule shattered to pieces with a crackling sound.

“He’s dead.” An Xiaoyu whispered amidst the chase behind the two.

An Ran looked at each other in silence, and suddenly several dull knocks came from the direction of the door, dong dong dong – dong dong dong – a dull and rhythmic sound reached their ears.

An Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear and remained unmoved.

Dong-dong-dong–dong-dong-dong–the knocking on the door continued. An Ran was the first to look away: “Someone is knocking on the door.”

“Your Highness,” after he finished speaking, the porter came to report, “The person who knocked on the door was a young man. I have never seen this man in the capital before. He didn’t answer when I asked him who he was. Do you want to open the door?”

An Xiaoyu turned his eyes away and looked at that person, and said indifferently: “We won’t see any guests today.”

“Yes.” The man said and left.

“Sir, please come back. Your Highness will not see any guests today.” The man shouted through the door.But the knocking on the door continued, knock-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong, just like before, even the rhythm had not changed.

“Stop knocking. I told you we won’t see any guests today.” The man’s voice gradually became impatient.But the people outside the door seemed not to hear, and kept knocking on the door.

“Let’s go take a look, or there’s something urgent.” An Ran said, avoiding An Xiaoyu’s eyes, and walked towards the small door.

A young man stood outside the door, wearing a red riding uniform with a waist and narrow sleeves. His long hair was tied high back with a red hairband. He had light eyes and a clean face. He looked like he was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very beautiful.

“Who are you looking for?” An Ran looked at the young man and asked at the same time.The young man did not speak, and his eyes did not fall on An Ran. Instead, he kept looking at the yard in front, with no expression on his face.

An Ran glanced at An Xiaoyu with confusion on his face, and An Xiaoyu also looked confused.

“Your Highness,” the man said, “I asked him several times. This man didn’t say a word. Is he probably mute?” As he said, the man gestured at the young man and shouted loudly: “Hey! Do you have a greeting card?”

The East Palace is located inside the palace, and ordinary people cannot enter without invitations or palace cards. This is why the disciples dare not kick people out rashly. Those who can come to the East Palace are either His Highness’s friends like Anshun and An Linmian, or they are dignitaries with some status and connections.

The young man remained silent. Not only did he not speak, his expression did not even change at all.

An Ran and An Xiaoyu looked at each other, obviously sensing something was wrong.There was no expression on the young man’s fair face, and his eyes were beautiful but lifeless, like a beautiful doll, dull and empty.

“Is he deaf?” The man murmured, waving his palm in front of the young man’s eyes. The young man finally reacted, his amber pupils turned, and his empty eyes fell on An Ran.

“You! Looking for! Who!” The man shouted again, but the young man just looked at An Ran without moving.

“Who are you looking for?” An Ran asked warmly, looking at the young man.

After a while, the young man’s lips moved and he softly uttered two words without emotion: “Ashun.”

It turned out to be Anshun’s friend. A friendly smile appeared on Anran’s face, pointing to the vestibule and saying: “Anshun is busy, come in first.”

The boy’s pupils slowly moved with An Ran’s fingers, looking through the door frame at the empty rectangular vestibule.Suddenly, a black figure flashed quickly from the square frame, and the young man’s empty eyes seemed to move slightly.A furry yellow figure flashed past, followed by three figures in colorful clothes holding a broom, a stick, and a board. The boy’s eyes flashed slightly again, and then he took steps, looking straight ahead and walking quickly.

Somewhat strangely, An Ran looked at An Xiaoyu and saw from An Xiaoyu’s eyes that they had the same idea.

“Let’s take a look first,” An Xiaoyu said, and the two of them walked towards the vestibule.

Anshun was still on the run, and An Linmian, An Tu, and An Mai were still chasing them, but there was another red figure behind them.The owner of the red figure had an emotionless face like a puppet, and a pair of light-colored eyes followed Anshun’s figure closely.

“Anshun, your friend is here.” An Ran had to shout to several people. The courtyard was already in a mess. Anshun just jumped up and down to hide in all directions. An Linmian and the other three were chasing after them, but no one noticed the young man who fell far behind them.

As soon as An Ran shouted, the first to hear the sound were An Linmian, An Mai, and An Tu.The three of them seemed to have been pressed on a freeze button, their movements froze in mid-air, their faces full of confusion.

“Who are you talking about? Anshun? Shunzi? Shunzi’s friend?” An Linmian used four questions to express the shock of the three of them.
