Lan Zhi also stood still: "Hu Weiwei can select talents from various military camps, but those ten people this morning are not from the military camp at all. Scattered and disorganized, there are a few people who are still vain in their steps, and they have no power to restrain the chicken. Tong Gao is a good kung fu, and he bothered to make up a right post of the Beijing camp army to deceive me, but what is the position, and why was chosen by you, he can't tell. In fact, how can someone like him not have an official position in the army? ”

After a pause, Lan Zhi continued: "Then the document is even more fake. Yu Yuan has been recuperating for half a year, preparing to launch an attack on the Qianxia Kingdom in April. At such a critical juncture, how could it be possible to disperse 200,000 troops and go to the Central Plains to suppress bandits? That document to suppress the bandits was forged by my brother, right? ”

Duan Ling stroked his palm and smiled: "Ah Zhi is smart. He frankly admitted: "It is true that I forged the paperwork, but don't worry, after you read it, I will have it destroyed, and I will not leave a handle." Those ten people were only temporarily transferred to the barracks by me, and they were not enrolled in the Tiger Guard. ”

Although Lan Zhi had deduced the beginning and the end, seeing him admit it, she was inevitably a little unhappy in her heart. But she felt that she shouldn't be unhappy: Duan Ling's design was just because she didn't trust her, and her motives for approaching Duan Ling were not pure, and she was indeed not worthy of his trust. From this point of view, Duan Ling did nothing wrong at all.

But she still complained in a low voice: "Since my brother doesn't trust me, why did he transfer me to his side." ”

Duan Ling smiled, lowered his eyes and said, "Ah Zhi's words are serious. If your plot is mine alone, it is my life, and you can take it. But what you're interested in is obviously beyond my control. He raised his eyes and said, "Ah Zhi, I know that you are smart, but the saint is young and has today's merits, so he is naturally not a stupid person, and there are countless smart people under him." I'm on your guard, but I don't want to give you a chance to get into danger. Unless you tell me the purpose of your visit, these precautions will continue today. ”

Lan Zhi was speechless. Duan Ling's words made her feel that she was not qualified to care about it at all. She thought about it, but still didn't tell Duan Ling the truth, but diverted the topic: "Who is Tong Gao?" ”

Duan Ling sighed secretly, but his expression eased: "He is an assassin, and Yuan Qiaoqiao died at his hands." ”

Only then did Lan Zhi understand where her nervousness came from, and asked, "What about the other nine people?" ”

Duan Ling turned around and continued to walk towards the barracks: "There are four people who are guards in the palace, and they are all good, although they can't track you without being discovered, they can guarantee that they won't be dumped by you." The other five ......" he smiled: "Two of them are cooks, and the cooking is delicious." There is also a craftsman, who is the best at making interesting gadgets. There are two left, one is a storyteller and the other is a dramatist. ”

Lan Zhi never imagined that those few people who looked at their vain footsteps would actually be the craftsmen and chefs of the opera. She asked strangely: "How can my brother raise these people around him?" ”

Duan Ling smiled: "Why can't I raise these people around me?" Does Zhi think that I should raise some assassin killers and the like? ”

Lan Zhi opened her mouth and realized that she really thought so, and she couldn't answer for a while. Duan Ling tilted his head: "Not only that, but I also raised jade carvers, florists, painters, violinists, circus troupes......"

Lan Zhi: "......"

Duan Ling chuckled: "After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, I have leisure. In the past eight years, I have been looking for you and recruiting these talents. I don't know what you like, so I thought I'd be more prepared so that I wouldn't be in a hurry when I actually saw you. He looked Lan Zhi up and down, but shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity that I tried so hard to please you, but it turned out to be useless." Ah Zhi returned to Haotian City this time, and she didn't know what the secret was......"

Lan Zhi looked at Duan Ling in a daze, and said half-loudly: "It takes a lot of effort...... Isn't my brother afraid that he won't be able to find me in this life? She recalled the rumor that Duan Ling was not close to women, and suddenly understood something, and said, "If you can't find me, does my brother plan not to marry for the rest of his life?" ”

Duan Ling blinked and pretended to sigh: "I want to marry." But if I marry a wife first, when I find you, can I still wronged you to be a child? ”

Seeing that Lan Zhi didn't look at him for a moment, Duan Ling finally bent the corners of his mouth and said softly, "I won't find it." He tilted his head and looked at the barracks at the bottom of the hillside: "Look, I only looked for you...... Fifteen years only. ”

The smoke curled in the barracks, and the man's tone was as faint as the smoke. For no reason, Lan Zhi suddenly felt a wave of panic in her heart, as if Duan Ling's spoiling was not for her, but for his own wish that he had been obsessed with for many years. She muttered, "Brother...... Are you disappointed to see me, to see me? ”

Duan Ling turned his head to look back. Under the sun, the coldness in the man's eyes faded away, replaced by ripples of warmth. He raised his hand, touched Lan Zhi's cheek little by little, and slowly spoke: "How can I be disappointed, I am very satisfied." ”

The man's fingertips were obviously cool, but Lan Zhi inexplicably felt as if she had been burned, as if a spark had sparked where her skin touched. Duan Ling's eyes were full of affection, Lan Zhi looked into those eyes, and suddenly realized that she couldn't treat this man as an elder brother at some point. The mountain is obviously breezy and gentle, but the air around the two of them is heavy and stagnant, as if fermenting love.

Duan Ling's palm finally covered Lan Zhi's face, intermittently, lightly and heavily, with a strong, hot, impulsive emotion. The man's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, just leaned over and approached Lan Zhi little by little......

Lan Zhi chose to escape without thinking. She tilted her head sharply and dodged Duan Ling's hand. Ren Yuanbai's entrustment was like a pimple in her heart, and no matter how warm her emotions were, she couldn't get rid of it.

Her heart was beating fast and her mind was confused, Lan Zhi felt that she must be blushing, but she still forced her composure and looked at the barracks under the mountain as if nothing had happened.

Duan Ling stood silent for a moment and withdrew his hand. Then the man patted Lan Zhi's head soothingly, chuckled and repeated, "How can you be disappointed...... Zhi, you're more than I expected. ”

But he said that Xiang Jinxiu finished his inspection of Huweiwei and rode back home. As he passed through Seventeenth Street, something fell from the sky and smashed at him.

Xiang Jinxiu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly reined in his horse and dodged sideways. But I saw that the thing fell to the ground, and it was not a hidden weapon, but an inconspicuous wooden bolt.

A woman's beautiful voice sounded above him: "Oops...... This adult was embarrassed, and he was opening the window, but he accidentally didn't hold the ...... steadily."

Xiang Jinxiu looked up at the hut next to the street. The window on the second floor was slightly open, and a woman in half-open clothes was leaning lazily against the lattice, smiling at him.

This is a bright and enchanting Central Plains girl, with ruddy pink cheeks and beautiful eyes. Xiang Jinxiu's eyes lit up, but the woman straightened up and disappeared from the window.

It seems that the qiē was just an accident: the girl woke up in the morning to open the window, but she accidentally fell off the wooden bolt. Ke Xiang Jinxiu Lerma took a few steps in place, but he didn't want to leave. The woman just now was dressed presumptuously, with an indelible bright color between her eyebrows, and her smile was even more charming. Xiang Jinxiu was aroused and wanted to meet this girl.

He was about to dismount, but he saw the door of the house open. The girl walked out of the door with a delicate smile on her face. Seeing Xiang Jinxiu's face clearly, she paused: "Oops...... It turned out to be Lord Xiang. ”

I even knew him. Xiang Jinxiu became more and more interested, and said, "Girl, do you know me?" ”

The girl bowed to him, straightened up, and said with a smile: "Naturally." To the prestige of the lord, no one in Haotian City does not know, and no one knows. ”

Xiang Jinxiu also smiled, turned over and dismounted: "Along the way, I happened to be thirsty." If the girl doesn't mind, can I ask for a glass of water? ”

The girl smiled and leaned over to pick up the wooden bolt: "Okay, come with me." ”

Xiang Jinxiu followed the girl into the house. The furnishings in the house are simple, but they are very clean, and the sunlight comes in from the window, which inexplicably adds a bit of warmth to the house. The girl really went to pour the tea and sent it to the table next to Xiang Jinxiu: "Don't stand up, sit down." ”

The corners of the girl's eyes were flushed, thinking that it was the remnants of last night's makeup, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes were raised, with that pale red, it was really sultry. Xiang Jinxiu's gaze fell on the creamy skin on her chest, only to feel a tightness in her lower abdomen, and she didn't take the tea, but only hooked her long arms, hugged the girl's slender waist, and dragged her into her arms!

The girl whispered! Xiang Jinxiu smiled: "Little girl, are you seducing me?" ”

After a brief moment of surprise, the girl was not flustered. She just blinked in confusion: "Why did you say this to your lord?" ”

Xiang Jinxiu's hand went down, and he touched the girl's round buttocks, and he was very satisfied. He pinched his hand: "The Central Plains people are conservative, how can there be a girl from a good family who dresses up like you to meet people?" Central Plains women cherish their reputation even more, how can they introduce strange men into their homes? His waist moved slightly, and he rubbed the girl's body unceremoniously: "Even I have inquired about who I am, I think it took a lot of effort, right?" ”

The girl didn't expect him to act so straightforwardly, and her smile was a little reluctant: "Lord Xiang misunderstood...... she struggled slightly: "Lord Xiang has good eyesight, I am indeed not a woman from a good family." I'm from Shinho-in, and I'm here just to meet people, and I'm about to leave. ”

Xiang Jinxiu paused. In order to ensure safety, he had never touched the woman in the Qinglou, so he had to dispel his thoughts, and he didn't touch the tea on the table, and turned around and prepared to leave. But when he went out, his eyes fell on a pair of thick-soled boots next to the door, and his steps were sluggish.

The side of those boots was embroidered with a tiger head with gold thread, which was actually Hu Weiwei's special official boots. The boots don't look big, and it's obvious that their owner is a woman. Something flashed through Xiang Jinxiu's mind, he stopped, turned back to the girl and asked, "Who are these boots?" ”
