Chapter 068: Seduction

An Lan lowered her eyes and added a piece of incense pill to the incense burner: "Why are you so worried?"

She gently covered the lid of the incense burner, and after a while, she saw a light smoke like mist rising up, with a strong aroma, sweet and bitter, slowly filling the hall.

Lan Indigo said: "Because his subordinates can't understand why he would accept the position of this incense envoy." ”

An Lan raised her eyes: "When he came back, you didn't object, why did your attitude change so much now because I gave him the position of the incense envoy"

Lan Indigo said: "This is one of the reasons. ”

"Reason 2"

"The second is that he has always secretly retained his own power, and after he took the order of the incense envoy, those who were already dead have all come back to life. Moreover, his subordinates have not yet found out how many people he has left in his hands. ”

An Lan looked at the unpredictable light smoke on the incense burner, and said lightly: "I know about this matter, since those people have been crossed out of the list of the incense hall, they have nothing to do with the incense hall, and besides, the hard work they paid for the incense hall in the first place can also be exchanged for the freedom of them not to come back." ”

Lan Indigo was silent, but her face was speechless and stopped.

An Lan glanced at her: "There is also the third reason, no matter what you say, I don't blame you." ”

Lan Indigo paused, and then knelt down on one knee: "What my subordinates are most worried about is that Mr. has deep roots, and the envoy knows this very well, if he uses this as a bargaining chip in the future, he secretly has such a big power, how should Mr. deal with himself then." ”

An Lan looked at her for a long time before she said, "Do you know Dao." How many crises do you have to face in your life?"

Lan Indigo raised her eyes, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

An Lan didn't want her to answer: "I believe him, it's my private matter, but your duty is to always be vigilant, this is not a contradiction, and you don't need to worry about it." If there is really such a crisis in the future, it will naturally be him who has lost me, but you. I don't think I can afford to do that."

Lan Di lowered his eyes: "My subordinates don't dare"

An Lan said: "I can bear any consequences. However, I am not sure if I can really win against him. ”

Indigo raised her eyes. But he didn't wait for her to speak. Someone outside answered: "Who are you going to face?"

Blue Indigo turned her head. Seeing Bai Yan walk in from outside the door, she slowly stood up: "The incense envoy came so quickly. ”

Bai Yan bowed his head at her: "I was just about to come to find Mr., and I met a maid looking for me halfway." As he spoke, he looked at An Lan. "I came early"

An Lan said: "No, sit down." ”

Lan Indigo bowed and withdrew.

After Bai Yan sat down, he glanced at An Lan: "Who was Mr. talking about just now?"

"Say you. An Lan poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

Bai Yan picked up the cup of tea: "Say what I said about me"

An Lan looked at him, and suddenly smiled, through the light smoke, the smile was unreal, and he squinted slightly.

After a while, she slowly spoke: "Say that if one day, if you and I are enemies, I am not sure that I can defeat you." ”

Bai Yan still squinted his eyes slightly, and this subtle movement made the tails of his eyes very long, obliquely one at a glance, like the most expressive stroke of the painter's hand.

After a moment, he also smiled, and a smile spread on his lips: "Does the gentleman look up to me, or do you look down on yourself." ”

An Lan looked at him: "You're not annoyed"

Bai Yan asked, "Why should I be annoyed?"

An Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, but after thinking about it, she let go of the topic, opened her mouth and told her about Huang Yanyan, and finally said: "You go and find out, what kind of role did the people of Southern Xinjiang play in this matter." ”

After Bai Yan pondered for a while, he spoke: "Sir thinks that there is probably a mountain soul hidden in that incense square."

An Lan nodded: "If it is really related to the mountain soul at this time." ”

Bai Yan asked: "Then the people of Murong Mansion, why do they want mountain souls?"

An Lan said: "Therefore, we must also check the bottom of the Murong clan, whether they want the incense recipe, or if someone else borrows the Murong clan's hand to get the incense recipe in order to hide people's eyes." ”

Bai Yan asked again: "What does Mr. think the mountain soul is?"

An Lan said: "The death of the county lord of Yuyao, and then Miss Huang was stunned at the banquet, these two things are suspected to be related to the fragrance realm. I can't guess what the mountain soul is, but it must be related to the incense realm. ”

Bai Yan held the cup of tea in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then said: "What kind of relationship will it have to do with the incense realm, what kind of relationship will it be with the incense realm in Southern Xinjiang if the incense Gu can be sent out and devoured, what will the mountain soul be?"

At the mention of Xiang Gu, An Lan suddenly frowned: "How many Xiang Gu did they bring into Chang'an?"

Bai Yan glanced at her, and saw that her eyes clearly showed disgust, so he smiled lightly: "The incense Gu that can devour the incense realm is a different species among the Gu worms, and it is not something that can be cultivated lightly." The purpose of their incense Gu is more to distinguish the authenticity when they encounter the incense realm, and its lethality is limited, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

An Lan said: "I'm not afraid. ”

Bai Yan smiled: "It's me who said wrong, Mr. should be disgusted." ”

An Lan glanced at him, didn't speak, and suddenly asked after a while: "How is the fragrant butterfly that I gave you last time?"

Bai Yan said again: "I'm still alive, and my spirit seems to be pretty good." ”

An Lan nodded, and asked again: "Is Hanli still in Chang'an?"

Bai Yan said: "Since Mama Hua and the others moved out of Jingfu, he has disappeared. ”

"What about Situ Jing?"

"Same. ”

An Lan looked at the light smoke on the incense burner and was silent, and Bai Yan said: "Sir, don't worry, this matter will be clear sooner or later." ”

An Lan raised her eyes, looked at him for a while, and then stood up: "You go and get busy, I'll go to the library to have a look." ”

Bai Yan then got up: "Can you accompany Mr. to go over?"

An Lan paused and nodded.

On the way, he suddenly spoke: "Sir really thought about the day when you and I were enemies."

An Lan's footsteps slowed slightly, and she turned her head to look at him, just as he also lowered his eyes to look over.

She suddenly stopped: "If I really thought about it, how would you be?"

Bai Yan also stood still, but there was a light smile on his lips: "If that's the case, I'll blame myself a little." ”

"Why?" she asked.

There was a light snow today, and there were ice cubes hanging on the branches, and they had just come out of the warm spring-like hall, and she didn't want to sit in a soft sedan chair, so she walked on the road for such a short time, and her nose was already a little red from the cold, and she looked a little more delicate than usual.

He couldn't help but raise his hand, and his slightly hot palm gently stroked her cold cheek: "I don't know dao." ”

She grabbed his hand and then pushed him, and for a moment, he couldn't maintain his balance, and fell straight backwards, slamming into the snow. Before he came back to his senses, she straddled him and looked at him condescendingly: "You don't know the dao, you don't know the dao, you still seduce me"

Bai Yan looked at her with some confusion.

Her cold hand reached into his clothes and ran down his chest, obviously a cold touch, but after she walked, it led to a source of fire.

Have you ever seen the new children's boots of the big incense master directly look at the incense order?
