C112 Lan Qingqian Was the Dawn That Welcomed Him from the Darkness.
In the distance, San Qi and the others had come. Dong Chi’s army panicked. When the two sides met, they were unable to fight.
When Gu Jun’an heard San Qi and the others return, he did not continue to fight. He leapt onto his horse and put her on his back, making her feel safer.
San Qi saw Lan Qingqian when she came over and was shocked. “Your Highness, why did you come?”
Lan Qingqian raised her bow and arrow and grabbed the baggage on her chest. “I came to save my husband!”
When the sun rose, Dong Chi and Yun Luo’s army had already scattered.
In the crowd of corpses, Lan Qingqian saw a tall man ordering the people on the ground to put away their weapons.
Lan Qingqian looked at him carefully. “Big guy? Can I talk to him?” After recognizing He Dongzhi, a person she knew from her hometown, Lan Qingqian was a little excited.
Gu Jun’an pulled her down from her horse and told San Qi, “Find General He and tell him that I have something to say to him.”
He Dongzhi did not know what the two of them said, but he followed San Qi.
When he got closer and saw the little figure, he could not believe it. He called out, “Your Highness?”
Lan Qingqian immediately rushed over and raised her head. “Big guy, I didn’t think we would meet again.”
He Dongzizhi was like a giant. He was tall and big. He was obviously taller than normal people. Lan Qingqian, who was so small, stood in front of him like a little ant.
He Dongzizhi bowed and then squatted down to talk to Lan Qingqian.
“Your Highness, why did you come to the battlefield? How dangerous is it?”
He seemed to remember something. “Did His Majesty suddenly go out that night to find you?”
Lan Qingqian nodded. “Yes, he pretended to write for you and I found out. I don’t remember your handwriting, but I know that he wrote with his left hand!” He sounded proud.
He Dongzizhi nodded and smiled. The scar on his face looked scary.
“Your Highness, you are always the smartest!” Such a clean and cute girl made a person who was covered in blood soften his heart.
“Why are there more earthworms on your face?” It was still the same familiar words.
He Dongzizhi always lowered his voice when talking to her. He was afraid that he would scare her.
Although Lan Qingqian was never scared.
He remembered that the first time he saw this girl was when she was one year old. She was still babbling. Emperor Xiao Ren was scolding some managers in the pavilion.
She stood next to him and stumbled toward him. Her white and tender face was full of naivety. She said in front of him, “You have a Qiu Ning…” She was talking about the scar on her face. It was an earthworm.
It was the first time He Dongzhi heard such a naive and innocent statement.
He Dongzhi had always been a childless man. He was eight or nine years old, so it was normal for him to cry when he saw a child. Even the adults around him looked at him with fear and disdain.
It was not that He Dongzhi did not like to talk, but no one wanted to talk to him.
After that, she spoke clearly and ran extremely fast. Her strength was different from the others. When he came back, he could always see the bright and beautiful little figure running around the cold palace. He could always hear laughter and joy.
“Big guy, why are there more earthworms on your face? Ah Che said that if you have more earthworms on your face, no girl will like you in the future!” She seemed to be afraid that he would be sad. She patted his armor. “But it’s fine. I don’t mind. I think that the earthworms on your face are quite cute.”
After that, he came back less and less. The late emperor had died. It was said that she had been taken to the West Province.
Now it seemed that he had lived quite well. There was no gloom in his eyes.
It was quite good!
He Dongzhi had lived a cold and bitter life. He did not have any reliance or restraints. If he really had a relative, it was probably only this little girl who was willing!
He Dongzhi laughed. “It looks like a fierce person can scare others!”
“Is Her Highness in the West Province? Is there anyone who bullies you? If there is, you must teach them a lesson. Our Canglan’s most noble and adorable princess is the glory of Canglan. We cannot be bullied. If there is anyone who is unconvinced, I will teach him a lesson for Her Highness!”
San Qin listened and finally understood where this little girl’s arrogant personality came from. She could eat anything she wanted, but she couldn’t take a loss. She would return a favor with a favor. It would be weird if she didn’t cause trouble.
Lan Qingqian couldn’t help but laugh and nodded. “I’m living well, but…” She wanted to go home, but she didn’t say it out loud.
“My fist is so powerful and I have so much strength. Who would dare to bully me? The old prince and San Qin will protect me. I have a little orange cat and a rabbit. Oh, I also have a horse called A’Ling. It’s so smart.” Lan Qingqian picked up her happy memories and said.
“That’s good. If anyone dares to bully you, I will teach them a lesson.” He Dongzhi’s voice was raised. He said it to the Seventh Prince and San Qin.
Lan Qingqian seemed to have thought of something. She said to He Dongzhi, “Big guy, you have to protect my Emperor’s nephew. Don’t let the Empress Dowager and the people in the palace bully him. He is weak. What if he can’t beat others?”
He Dongzhi smiled. She was already like this. She had left her hometown and still remembered to be the Emperor’s nephew.
No matter how bad Lan Lichen was, he was still the emperor of Canglan. The ministers had to be respectful to the emperor and the Empress Dowager. No matter how ambitious the Empress Dowager was, she had to take care of her own son. If she really died, the throne would fall to someone else.
The battlefield was almost cleaned up. The people from the West Province and Canglan had to go back.
Lan Qingqian took out a piece of candy and put it in his hand. “This candy is delicious! You’ll be happy after you eat it!”
“Okay, thank you, Your Highness!” He Dongzhi’s eyes were a little hot.
He took out a black iron dagger from his pocket and gave it to Lan Qingqian. “This is a gift for Your Highness. It’s made of black iron and can cut through iron like mud. Your Highness has grown up and dares to go to the battlefield. I’ll give it to Your Highness as a weapon.”
“Okay!” Lan Qingqian was fond of the new thing.
He Dongzhi stood up and said to the Seventh Prince, “Seventh Prince, this Yunluo Kingdom is so bold. Should we teach them a lesson? Otherwise, how can they learn to be more disciplined?”
“We should teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they won’t know their limits.”
The two of them set a target in a short while.
Gu Jun’an held Lan Qingqian on his horse. Lan Qingqian waved at He Dongzhi and left.
He Dongzhi watched the horse go further and further away until he couldn’t see it anymore.
A soldier came over. “General, you, what are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at the dawn. No matter how long the darkness is, it will eventually welcome the dawn!” Lan Qingqian was the dawn that welcomed the darkness.
