Chapter 7: Choices (1)
Lan Zhi's eyelashes twitched, and her mind quickly began to think. Xiang Jinxiu has been fighting for several years, killing people like hemp, and it is impossible to remember every soul under his sword. In addition, when she met Xiang Jinxiu back then, she was already covered in blood, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and it was impossible for Xiang Jinxiu to recognize her. Then he said vaguely: "I just came to Huweiwei today, and I haven't met Xiang Zheng's envoy yet. It can be regarded as a euphemism to deny Xiang Jinxiu's words.
Xiang Jinxiu said "oh", and said, "Then I must have seen you somewhere else." ”
Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment and raised her eyes again. At first, she couldn't control her emotions and didn't dare to look closely, but now she found that Xiang Jinxiu's gaze carried a trace of obvious interest, as if she was looking at her prey.
Thinking of the rumors of the man in front of her who was "born to be lewd", Lan Zhi felt that she understood so. Xiang Jinxiu's "I remember you" is not a temptation, but a conversation. He was interested in her, and thought she was a female soldier of Huweiwei, so he used that opening sentence.
Lan Zhi was a little surprised, but immediately smiled and said, "Lord Xiang has a good memory, I have indeed seen you a few times in the city." The adults are heroic and unforgettable, but unexpectedly, the adults also remember me. ”
The pandering in these words was very obvious, and Xiang Jinxiu withdrew his horsewhip and laughed: "What's your name?" ”
Lan Zhi replied respectfully: "Lan Zhi." ”
Xiang Jinxiu stretched out his hand to her: "Are you going to the women's barracks?" I'll give you a ride! ”
Lan Zhi's heartbeat was a few beats faster: she also said that she didn't know how to get close to Xiang Jinxiu, but now the opportunity was actually sent to the door!
But before she could be treated, the captain on the side suddenly interjected uninterestingly, and bowed to Xiang Jinxiu: "Lord Xiang." ”
Xiang Jinxiu's interest was interrupted, and he looked at him unhappily: "It turned out to be Ren Qianhu." ”
Ren Qianhu didn't look up, and said respectfully: "It's a subordinate." Today, Deputy Envoy Duan went to the barracks to train recruits, and felt that Miss Lan Zhi was a material that could be made, so he transferred her to Huweiwei. His subordinates sent her to him on the orders of Deputy Envoy Duan. Since Lord Xiang took her to the women's barracks by the way, the subordinates took their leave first. ”
Hearing this, Xiang Jinxiu frowned: "Duan Ling......" He looked at Lan Zhi carefully, his eyes fixed on the tiger head embroidery on the front of her clothes, and his brows furrowed even more: "This dress on your body is Duan Ling's?" ”
Lan Zhi secretly blamed Ren Qianhu for being troublesome, but could only reply: "Yes." Deputy Envoy Duan considered my swordsmanship and accidentally broke my clothes, so he lent me his clothes. ”
She tried to be as simple as she could, but Xiang Jinxiu obviously didn't think so. He sneered, withdrew his hand, and said to the captain: "Your master's woman, I won't move." He turned his horse's head and walked away.
Lan Zhi looked at the direction of Jin Xiu's departure, and scolded Ren Qianhu several times in her heart. turned her head and saw that Ren Qianhu was also staring at her, with undisguised disdain in her eyes, and she was stunned.
When Ren Qianhu saw her, he smiled and said, "Why is Miss Lan Zhi so anxious? Master Duan ordered me to send you here, if you have any thoughts, you should wait for me to leave before making plans. Otherwise, what is wrong, how can I account for the problem to Master Duan? ”
It was regarded as a villain who saw the wind and steered the rudder. Lan Zhi sneered on her face and lowered her head, but she didn't think so: what if Ren Qianhu thought she wanted to climb another high branch? If she doesn't make such flattering acts, when will she be able to get close to Xiang Jinxiu! It's a pity that she was made such a fuss, after today, I'm afraid that no matter how hard she tries, Xiang Jinxiu won't look at her.
After such a thing, all the way to the road, Ren Qianhu treated Lan Zhi very coldly. The women's barracks is actually a large compound, with many single-room houses on both sides of the courtyard, and many female soldiers standing scattered on the road. Seeing Ren Qianhu and Lan Zhi, many people cast their eyes, and some people would greet Ren Qianhu, and Ren Qianhu answered them one by one, but they never stopped, and went straight to the end of the compound.
There was a large bluestone at the entrance of the innermost room, on which sat two women. One of them is tall, beautiful, and imposing; Another woman is petite, with clear eyebrows, and is also a rare beauty.
Ren Qianhuxing stepped forward and said to the tall woman: "Si Yang, Deputy Envoy Duan has picked someone among the recruits and asked me to send it to you." He said to Lan Zhi again: "Lan Zhi, I haven't seen Si Qianhu soon." ”
Lan Zhi bowed. But before she could straighten up, Ren Qianhu lazily said to Si Yang: "I'll leave it to you, I still have something to do, take the first step." "I don't want to deal with Lan Zhi anymore, and I leave by myself.
Lan Zhi straightened up, not knowing what to say for a while. Instead, Na Si Yang let go of the hand he was shaking with the petite woman, walked in front of Lan Zhi, looked her up and down, looked around again, pointed to the nearby house and said, "That house is empty, you can live there." ”
Lan Zhi nodded in response. Unexpectedly, the petite woman suddenly ran forward, hugged Si Yang's arm and didn't speak, just stared at her.
Si Yang patted the woman's hand, and said to Lan Zhi again: "The women's barracks is divided into three teams, you follow me in the back, and I will notify you if there is any action." ”
Lan Zhi wanted to respond, but the petite woman shook off Si Yang's hand and stood aside with her back to the side, with an angry expression on her face.
Lan Zhi: "......"
Si Yang was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and motioned for Lan Zhi to wait, walked behind the woman, and said in a low voice: "Qiaoqiao, what kind of vinegar are you eating?" ”
That Qiaoqiao finally spoke, and her voice was ethereal, but it was very nice: "Your team is going to go out on a mission to arrest people!" How many times have I begged you, but you won't take me with you, and now that she has just arrived, you don't try her skills, so let her join a team with you! ”
Si Yang was a little helpless: "The person selected by Deputy Envoy Duan still needs to try his skills?" ”
Qiaoqiao choked and said angrily: "Then you let her live next to your house!" ”
Si Yang became more and more helpless: "You still live in my house." ”
Qiaoqiao stomped her feet: "You begged me to live in your house!" She glanced at Lan Zhi: "She is beautiful!" I don't like it! You'd better get her away, or ...... I'm going to find an opportunity to poison her and kill her!" ”
Si Yang sighed and rubbed his eyebrows: "Don't come nonsense!" He hugged Qiaoqiao again and made her turn around: "Look at the clothes she is wearing, is it her own?" ”
Qiaoqiao was held in Si Yang's arms, and finally stopped making trouble. She raised her eyes to look at Lan Zhi, and said strangely for a moment: "It's embroidered with a white tiger head......
Si Yang nodded: "She is wearing Deputy Envoy Duan's clothes, she must be Deputy Envoy Duan's woman." Are you relieved now? ”
Qiaoqiao pouted, buried her head in Si Yang's chest, and said nothing.
Lan Zhi stood aside, watching the intimate behavior of the two, and was really shocked: Si Yang and Qiaoqiao...... It's obviously a good match.
Lan Zhi has not heard rumors that women are good. When she was still in the Central Plains, she heard that there were palace maids in the palace who could not bear loneliness and would live together. It's just that when people mention this kind of person, they always call them as grinding mirrors in a frivolous tone. has never seen such an open relationship between Si Yang and Qiaoqiao.
But she doesn't spurn the relationship between the two. The world is in turmoil to this point, and it is not easy to find people who are united to stay and rely on each other. As long as they don't get in the way of others, why should they be condemned?
Lan Zhi looked at her nose and nose and heart, and didn't look at it anymore. Si Yang took some time to appease Hao Qiaoqiao, and then came back to give Lan Zhi a little advice, and asked her to take her to settle down.
Huweiwei is uniformly equipped with daily necessities. To Lan Zhi's surprise, she not only received a military uniform, but also several sets of night clothes. She tidied up the house, and at noon, Hu Weiwei started eating.
The food here was much better than that of the recruit barracks, and Lan Zhi was finally able to eat a full meal again. She went back to her room to rest, the bed was all new, and she slept very comfortably, but Lan Zhi lay on the bed, but her heart couldn't relax.
She was thinking about Duan Ling's invitation tonight. When Ling first dressed her, she felt that something was wrong. can think of Duan Ling's sentence "I don't lack women", and she felt that Xu was a man who was amorous by nature, and habitually did ambiguous things to her.
But when Xiang Jinxiu and Si Yang saw her wearing Duan Ling's clothes, they automatically classified her as "Duan Ling's woman", and Xiang Jinxiu also dissipated his thoughts about her because of this. This can only show that her speculation about Duan Ling is wrong, and Duan Ling does not often make intimate moves with women.
Recalling the man's warm eyes looking at her, Lan Zhi became more and more suspicious: What was the reason for Duan Ling's gentle gesture to her this time? If he fell in love with her at a glance, but when they first met, he was so indifferent to her. After such a big change, is it ...... Is it really because of the flowers on her back?
Duan Ling may know her background, and this thought made Lan Zhi toss. She secretly decided, instead of guessing, when she went to the banquet tonight, she asked Duan Ling directly.
The afternoon passed quickly, and seeing that it was getting dark, Lan Zhi dressed up and went out. unexpectedly saw Si Yang standing in the courtyard. The woman whistled loudly, and then said loudly: "The first team of the women's barracks, come to my house and gather!" ”
There's a mission! Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment, but soon, she turned around and went back to the house to get her sword: Duan Ling's invitation could be pushed, but the task could not wait. She took her sword and was about to go out, but she saw Si Yang passing by her door, and she glanced at her and dropped the sentence: "Change into night clothes." ”
By the time she changed into her night clothes and came to Si Yang's house, the rest of the people had already arrived. Qiaoqiao curled up on the bed, ignoring everyone, and tinkering with the medicine pestle by herself.
Lan Zhi glanced at it and found that there were only more than twenty people in the team. Si Yang closed the door of the house and said simply: "The Central Plains fine work we want to catch these days has finally appeared today, and it is now on the 18th Street." She carefully arranged the arrangement, then opened the door and went out, jumping onto the roof!
Lan Zhi was feeling strange, but she saw the female soldiers jumping onto the roof one by one, and they were running lightly on the roof like this!
Lan Zhi hurriedly shook her sword and followed. She finally knew why there were fewer people in the first team: these women's martial arts should not be bad, so they would be selected by Si Yang.
A quarter of an hour later, the crowd arrived at Eighteenth Street. Haotian City is still prosperous at night, and the lights of Eighteenth Street are brilliant, making it a lively scene. No one noticed them. Si Yang led everyone to a restaurant, and with a gesture, the female soldiers dispersed in groups of four, and lurked in all directions of the restaurant. Because Lan Zhi first came, she was left by Si Yang's side, and together with the other two female soldiers, she was responsible for guarding the side window of the restaurant.
The side window leans against a small alley, there are not many people coming and going, and the deserted situation is against the noise outside the alley, which makes it seem very quiet. No one spoke, and the crowd hid themselves. At such a strict moment, Lan Zhi was a little absent-minded.
On the day she joined the army, she knew that the people of Yuyuan hated Xiaozuo, but she couldn't identify with their emotions. Although he obediently came to participate in the mission now, he will not be as attentive as the others. It's just that Si Yang deliberately took her with her, somewhat surveillance, she still has to do a good job of superficial work. After waiting so silently for half an hour, Si Yang suddenly raised his hand and threw something out! The sky lit up with a bunch of fireworks.
With this signal, there was also a riot in the restaurant. Lan Zhi looked through the half-open window and saw several groups of female soldiers rushing into the restaurant, trying to arrest someone.
But the Central Plains was not simple, and I didn't know what to use to create chaos, and the guests in the restaurant screamed and ran to stop the female soldiers. Lan Zhi heard Si Yang scolding, but after a moment, the window in front of her slammed! It was knocked down by someone!
A figure jumped out of the window. Si Yang and the other two drew their swords and rushed forward against the figure! But that man's kung fu was very good, and he turned around in the air, and he was able to avoid the attack! Then as soon as he raised his hand, something fell from his sleeve and hit the ground hard!
Thick smoke immediately rose in the alley, and Lan Zhi quickly held her breath and squinted. The man took the opportunity to run past her, and at the end he didn't forget to give her a sword, and then rushed out of the street!
Lan Zhi dodged and dodged, but saw a figure again! Si Yang rushed out of the smoke and shouted: "Chase!" ”
Lan Zhi turned her head to look at the other two female soldiers, and saw that they were covering their mouths and noses and shaking, and she didn't know if they accidentally inhaled the smoke or were stabbed by the thin work.
It seems that these two female soldiers can't chase people. Lan Zhi thought about it for a while, and felt that with her own skills, it was a bit unsimilar to follow the two of them to pretend to be dead here, so she had to chase after her with a sword. But he just followed Si Yang in small steps, resolutely not rushing forward.
Si Yang caught up with the fine work. The two fought against each other in the small alley, and Lan Zhi was reluctant to step forward to help, so she ran slower and slower.
The hard work is good, and he desperately wants to escape, but he only attacks but does not defend the moves, and after a few rounds, Si Yang was kicked in the chest by him and fell heavily in front of Lan Zhi.
Si Yang covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then she looked up and met Lan Zhi's eyes.
Lan Zhi was stared at, and she couldn't stop stepping forward. She ran a few steps, shouted, and kicked at the thin work!
She thought that she had warned her, and she didn't use ten percent of her effort, but with this meticulous skill, she would definitely be able to dodge. Unexpectedly, when Xizuo and Si Yang were fighting, they were already injured, and they couldn't dodge, and they were kicked in the back by Lan Zhizheng, stumbling a few times, and falling to the ground!
Si Yang's voice sounded eagerly at this time: "Lan Zhi, restrain him!" ”
Lan Zhi sighed secretly. She stepped forward and dislocated her two arms, and then turned him over, bent down and raised her feet, and stepped on his chest.
Hosaku lay flat on the ground and gasped, and the lights of the street illuminated his face. Lan Zhi looked at it, and her body stiffened.
This Central Plains meticulous work, who has been tracked by Hu Weiwei for a long time, is actually the Central Plains man who helped her and Xiao Jianchu deliver the message!
- This man...... It turns out that he is not just a peddler selling sachets?!
Lan Zhi was shocked in her heart, but she quickly turned her head to look behind her. saw that Si Yang had relieved his breath and was running towards her. She looked at the street again, and saw several female soldiers rushing out of the street.
surrounded. She just pretended to let the man go, and he couldn't escape.
But the Central Plains man spoke. He hurriedly whispered four words: "Yongle Restaurant." ”
Lan Zhi slowly turned her head and looked down at him with no expression. The man's gaze met her, and his black eyes were pleading: "Kill me!" ”
