After Si Yang returned to the dormitory, he didn't sleep all night. When the sun rose, she simply placed Yuan Qiaoqiao's body and left Huweiwei. Three days later, she reappeared, went to find the monk of Wuxiang Temple, and did a full seven days of rituals for Yuan Qiaoqiao, and then buried the person. Then she took a small altar and went to visit Duan Ling.

Duan Ling received her greeting post with no expression on his face. He just placed the prayer note in the corner of the desk and said lightly, "Let her in." ”

These days, Duan Ling found an errand to send Lan Zhi out of the city, for fear that Si Yang would be suspicious and go to Lan Zhi for trouble. But Si Yang has been running around all the time, and there is nothing unusual in treating people. In this way, it is said that there should be no problem, but Duan Ling is still not at ease. He was trying to find a way to test Si Yang, but this person sent him to the door by himself.

He didn't wait long before he saw Si Yang walking in. The woman's face was as usual, and she greeted him as usual. Duan Ling also brought a formulaic smile: "Si Qianhu don't want to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Si Yang thanked him and sat down: "I've been organizing Qiaoqiao's funeral these days, and I'm really busy, and I didn't come to see the adults until today, and I hope the adults don't blame." ”

Duan Ling didn't know why she said this, but she still appeased her mouth, and finally said: "People can't be resurrected after death, and Si Qianhu Festival mourns and changes." ”

Si Yang sighed very in response to the situation, but he took out a black jar from his arms: "My lord, this is the dragon and phoenix Gu you want." When Miss Lan Zhi came to pick it up a few days ago, Qiaoqiao had not yet completed her cultivation, so she thought that she would give it to adults when the Gu worm matured. Now that Qiaoqiao is dead, I won't raise this Gu worm, so I can only give you this half-finished product. If you still need it, take it. ”

Duan Ling's smile stiffened slightly: The dragon and phoenix Gu he wanted?

He thought about it carefully, and finally remembered what Yuan Qiaoqiao once said: "...... I also raised a Gu worm, called Dragon and Phoenix Gu, and planted this worm into a woman's body, which can kill the first man to have fun with her......"

- No wonder, no wonder. That day, Lan Zhi suddenly intervened to prevent him from killing, but it was for this Gu worm.

Duan Ling's fingertips tapped lightly on the desk, and he was surprised to find that he didn't seem to be angry. He just thought: Ah Zhi is really hiding from both ends. This side lied to him not to let him kill Yuan Qiaoqiao, and over there he lied to him to give orders and deceive what he wanted.

-- Tsk, it's really uncomfortable.

It's just that this Gu worm is so effective, Lan Zhi bothered to get it...... Do you still plan to use it yourself?

――Which man are you trying to deal with?

Duan Ling suddenly felt indignant in his heart, and his throat and eyes were also blocked. But it was Chao Si Yang who smiled and said, "It's hard for you to have a heart." ”

Then a servant went to take the jar in Si Yang's hand. Seeing that he had accepted the Gu worm, Si Yang's expression seemed to be a little more relaxed, and he chatted with Duan Ling a few more words before he took his leave.

As soon as she left, Duan Ling summoned the old doctor in the house. The doctor carefully studied the jar from the inside out, and finally said, "My lord, this jar itself is not poisoned. Inside the jar is a kind of Gu worm, the old man has shallow knowledge, but he doesn't know what this insect is used for. ”

Duan Ling then took the jar, put it in his hand to play with, and called his cronies again, and asked, "What has Si Yang been doing these days?" ”

The cronies replied: "The name of the person who killed Yuan Qiaoqiao is Deng Wen, he has an old mother who lives in Xinghua Village on the outskirts of Haotian City, and another good friend who lives on the 29th Street of Haotian City. Si Yang went to Xinghua Village ten days ago and killed Deng Wen's mother, and eight days ago he went to Twenty-ninth Street and killed Deng Wen. When she buried Yuan Qiaoqiao today, she wrapped Deng Wen and the two corpses in linen cloth and buried them under Yuan Qiaoqiao's coffin. ”

When Duan Ling heard this, he actually chuckled. Si Yang's actions seemed to be avenging Yuan Qiaoqiao, but Duan Ling didn't think that Si Yang really believed that Deng Wen was the murderer. He felt that Si Yang must have doubted himself, and now he made this move, but because Yuan Qiaoqiao was dead, and she still had to work hard to live, so he didn't want to find out the real murderer of him. Angry with two idle people who have no power and no power like this, she is showing his attitude, this matter is over, and she will not pursue it any further.

In this way, the purpose of her sending Gu worms here today is also clear. She's courting him.

It's in line with this woman's personality. Duan Ling pondered for a moment and dissipated his thoughts about dealing with Si Yang, after all, although the Si family was defeated, it was a big clan in the end, and he didn't want to cause trouble if it was unnecessary. His eyes fell on the small black altar, and he said to himself: "We had breakfast together early in the morning, but unexpectedly, we are going to meet again, Ah Zhi......"

Lan Zhi didn't expect that just after they parted, Duan Ling actually asked her to meet again. Ren Qianhu put on a cold and arrogant face and sent her to the Duan Mansion, and the housekeeper welcomed her to the small pavilion in the mansion. Duan Ling leaned on the couch in the pavilion, carrying a small wine jar in his hand, and was drinking himself with his head tilted towards the mouth of the altar.

Seeing her coming, Duan Ling sat up straight and threw another small altar at hand to her: "The best daughter Hong, come and drink a jar with me." ”

Lan Zhi raised her hand to catch it, but felt that the small altar in her hand was too light. Her wrist shook slightly, she didn't hear the sound of water in the altar, and looked at Duan Ling strangely. Duan Ling looked back with a smile, his expression was not inappropriate, but Lan Zhi inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. When she pulled out the stopper, she saw a small worm at the bottom of the altar.

Lan Zhi: "......"

Duan Ling's smile grew, and he said very insincerely: "Oops, I accidentally took the wrong one." ”

Lan Zhi knew what the little insect in the altar was. When she went to find Yuan Qiaoqiao, she had seen this Gu worm, and she was still thinking about when it would grow. Later, Yuan Qiaoqiao was killed, and she didn't have the intention of stealing it, but she couldn't be sure how effective this larva was, so she was afraid that she would not be able to kill Xiang Jin, but it would arouse his vigilance, so she gave up. Unexpectedly, now he would see it here in Duan Ling.

She asked Yuan Qiaoqiao for Gu worms, only Si Yang knew. I think this worm was given to Duan Ling by Si Yang. Duan Ling discovered her deception, and he came to settle accounts with her.

Thinking that the plan could not be carried out, Lan Zhi did not want to deny it. She felt that she should apologize to Duan Ling, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't say anything, she stood still for a while, and still lowered her head.

Duan Ling stood up, walked to Lan Zhi's side, and shook the wine jar in front of her. The man smiled, and his voice was faint: "Ah Zhi, I'm going to prepare your daughter for red?" ”

Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment and raised her head: "Why do you want to prepare my daughter red?" ”

Duan Ling took away the small altar in her hand: "If you don't plan to commit yourself, why would you ask Yuan Qiaoqiao for this Gu worm?" ”

Only then did Lan Zhi understand: Duan Ling actually thought that she was going to grow this Gu herself, and she thought that she was ...... She wants to use this Gu to kill her lover!

She was a little embarrassed and said: "No......" but she couldn't tell Duan Ling why she wanted a Gu worm, and after thinking about it, she finally said helplessly: "This Gu worm ...... It's for Du Lianxue. ”

It's hard to tell if it's true or not. Duan Ling tilted his head and said, "Really? ”

Lan Zhi nodded. Duan Ling studied her for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Okay then." He summoned his subordinates and ordered: "Send this small altar to Du Lianxue of Xinfeng Courtyard, and tell her that it was given to her by Huwei Wei Lanzhi." ”

The subordinate was ordered to retreat. Duan Ling said reasonably: "Although it is not an adult, it is difficult for you to put a lot of thought into it, you should always send it to her to show it and let her know." ”

Lan Zhi looked at the backs of her subordinates, opened her mouth, and finally did not object: Du Lianxue was clever and knew her secrets, and she also knew that Yuan Qiaoqiao was dead, and the Gu worm had not grown, so there should be no mistakes.

Seeing her react like this, Duan Ling seemed to believe it, and smiled lightly: "Fortunately, Ah Zhi doesn't plan to get married, otherwise it wouldn't be my sin if I caused you to work in vain because of my delay?" ”

Lan Zhi frowned slightly: "What do you mean by my brother?" ”

Duan Ling raised his head and took another sip of wine: "There is one thing, I have never told you." He stared at the wine jar in his hand and hooked the corners of his mouth lightly: "You can only marry me in this life." ”

In such a strong sentence, the man said it lightly, not like a confession, but like a statement of an established thing. Lan Zhi was stunned for a while, feeling a little flustered inexplicably, and she didn't know how to put her hands and feet.

Duan Ling turned his head to look at her, and when he saw that her face was slightly red, he laughed: "Look at it, you will know that you will be scared." He shook his head and sighed, "That's why I haven't told you." ”

Lan Zhi avoided his gaze and asked, "Why can I only marry you?" ”

Duan Ling should have said, "In order to ensure the purity of the blood of the Nalan royal family, the Nalan king must intermarry with the men of his own clan. Now there are only two people left in the Nalan family, if you don't marry me, who else can you marry? ”

Lan Zhi was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that the sudden chaos in her heart had dissipated. She laughed too: "Is this because of this? ”

Duan Ling glanced at her. He actually didn't know if it was just because of this, but this reason was the most able for him to say without thinking, and other small and complicated thoughts, Duan Ling felt that he couldn't figure it out. Then he nodded and said: "I know you think it is abrupt, so listen to this first, and discuss the matter of marriage later." ”

Lan Zhi's words blurted out: "Don't talk about it anymore, I won't marry you." She remembered what Duan Ling had said half-truthfully, and added: "King Nalan's bloodline will be cut off from me, and my brother should not worry about it." ”

As soon as the words came out, Lan Zhi felt that she was impulsive. Although the legend of the Nalan family is false, it has always been believed by Duan Ling. He didn't mean anything bad when he said that to her, she just wanted to refuse, and she should refuse to be tactful, why should she hurt his heart so much.

But she couldn't swallow back what she had said. Lan Zhi was annoyed for a moment, and secretly went to see Duan Ling, but bumped into the man's unexpected doting gaze. She was slightly stunned, and then heard Duan Ling say softly: "Okay, listen to you." There was still a smile on his face: "Who made you king?" ”

Lan Zhi retracted her gaze and pursed her lips.

- Her brother is lying again. It sounds so good, but what I think in my heart is not the same thing at all.

Lan Zhi was a little sullen: If you have different opinions, then discuss again. Saying that one out and doing one play is to coax her as a child?

But in this way, she remembered Yuan Qiaoqiao's death. Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Brother, did you kill Yuan Qiaoqiao?" ”
