The flower in Duan Ling's mouth is actually a birthmark that Lan Zhi has had since she was a child. The adoptive father would name her Lan Zhi because she had a birthmark on her back that looked like pandan. The birthmark of ordinary people is small and vague, but the birthmark of Lan Zhi is large and clear. The pandan was like a painter sketching with cinnabar, and it covered her entire back.

Duan Ling's fingertips followed Xianglan's veins and slowly descended. The man's breath was shallow, hitting Lan Zhi's bare shoulders and neck, causing her skin to tremble. Lan Zhi's body stiffened and wanted to dodge, but Duan Ling said in a deep voice: "Don't move." ”

Lan Zhi struggled for a moment in her heart and chose to obey. She didn't look back, but she could feel that, at least at this moment, Duan Ling had no desire for her to be male or female. He just...... Indulge in the flower on her back.

The adoptive father once told Lan Zhi that he had picked up Lan Zhi in the mountains, and he did not know who Lan Zhi's biological parents were. Later, when Lan Zhi grew up, she became more and more curious about her life experience, and she once showed her brother the strange flowers on her back, and asked her brother who was reading a lot of books if he knew a thing or two, but he still didn't get an answer.

So, is Duan Ling's infatuated attitude ...... Do you know the origin of this pandan?

She was suspicious, but she couldn't think about it anymore, because Duan Ling's hand had already moved all the way down and landed on her tail vertebrae. Lan Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly threw the sword to the ground! With the sound of metal hitting the ground, she knelt down and lowered her head, and said in a clear voice: "Lord Duan's swordsmanship is superb, and Lan Zhi is ashamed of herself." ”

The beauty of the room was dispersed by this loud voice. Duan Ling was silent for a moment and walked in front of her. He took her hand with both hands and helped her up: "You are still young, and it is extraordinary to have such swordsmanship attainments. ”

Lan Zhi's gaze fell on the hands of the two of them, and she looked up at Duan Ling again, and saw a smile on the man's face. It's just that this smile is not as hypocritical as before, and the light brown eyes are ...... There is a faint sense of warmth.

Lan Zhi was stunned. She thought in her heart: Since Duan Ling said that she was extraordinary, he was willing to accept her as his subordinate. Maybe this person regarded her as his own, and there was less indifference between his words, and he made some real affection.

Lan Zhi withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and bowed down in time to express her gratitude: "Thank you Lord Duan for your appreciation!" Lan Zhi will do her best in the future to repay the kindness of adults! ”

This was a fitting statement, but as she bowed, the torn garment slid down to her chest. Lan Zhi hurriedly pulled it with her hands, barely covering the spring light, only to feel embarrassed and embarrassed.

Duan Ling smiled. He raised his hand to untie his belt, and actually took off his ochre coat and wore only civilian clothes. Then he walked up to Lan Zhi and put on her coat with gentle movements.

This move is too loving to his subordinates. Lan Zhi dodged and knelt down in fear: "My lord! Lan Zhi didn't dare! ”

Duan Ling looked down at the woman under his coat, the warmth in his eyes deepened, and he said calmly, "Stand up." ”

Lan Zhi had to stand up. Duan Ling covered her with his coat again, helped her button up one by one, and said slowly: "Since you are my woman, why don't you dare to wear my clothes." ”

Lan Zhi thought about it, but felt that what she said made sense. Why does Duan Ling need to tell the world that she already has a master? All she had to do was put on this garment and walk around the barracks, and everything was silent. So he replied in a low voice.

Duan Ling said: "Since you are my woman, when there are no outsiders in the future, don't kneel, it's like I'm tossing you." ”

Lan Zhi is free to his liking, and continues to be. Duan Ling helped her buckle up, and leaned over to pick up her sword again: "This sword ......"

The cold light of the sword blade was long, Duan Ling glanced at Lan Zhi, and suddenly hooked the corner of his mouth: "This sword is very good, I like it." Why don't you give it to me? ”

Lan Zhi quickly raised her head and pursed her lips to stare at Duan Ling: This person actually asked for her sword! Such a gesture of favor put a dress on her, but she had to return it with a sword!

But this sword was given to her by her adoptive father, and she had been with her for twelve years. Lan Zhi lowered her head and pleaded, "Your Excellency...... This sword is a relic of my father, and I ask the adults to leave a memory for Lan Zhi. ”

Duan Ling's smile grew: "That's the case." He waved the sword a few times: "In this case, then I will remember to take this sword with me in the future, if you miss your father, just come and see the sword." ”

Lan Zhi: "......"

Lan Zhi only felt that the man in front of her had changed his appearance for no reason! She was unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't turn her face with him, so she had to secretly think to herself: maybe in the future, she would do a few things for him, and he would return the sword to her when he was at ease. If you really don't pay it back...... When she left Haotian City, she was deceived by stealing, and she also wanted to take the sword back!

After making up her mind, Lan Zhi didn't say anything more, and simply untied the scabbard at her waist and sent it to Duan Ling: "Then, please ask Lord Duan to take care of it." ”

Duan Ling was very reluctant to see Lan Zhi's gaze at the sword, and expected that she must be unhappy in her heart, but the expression on that face was always faint, so that people couldn't see the slightest emotion. It reminded him of her as a child. At that time, he bullied her, and she just looked at him with wide eyes, not crying or making trouble. Duan Ling inexplicably felt a little heartwarming, but he still said leisurely: "What, Lan Zhi is reluctant?" ”

Lan Zhi lowered her eyes and shook her head: "No, I'm just ...... I always carry a sword, but now I suddenly have no sword by my side, and I am not used to it. ”

Duan Ling didn't pierce either: "At that moment, I'll ask someone to take you back to Huweiwei, and you go get a sword." ”

Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment, and reacted: "Hu Weiwei? She knew that Duan Ling had the power to select people from various military camps and incorporate them into the Tiger Weiwei, and it was because of this that she chose to join him. But he didn't expect Duan Ling to act so quickly: the two had only met on the first day, and he had just wanted to kick her out of the barracks, and he was about to take her into the Tiger Guard in an instant!

No matter what this person's intentions were, it would be a good thing for her to be able to take her into the Tiger Guard. Lan Zhi began to feel that it was not a loss to borrow the sword from Duan Ling for a while, and hurriedly thanked him with a look of surprise. Duan Ling smiled and said, "Since she is my woman, she should always be taught by my side, so that I can feel at ease." ”

This is the third time Duan Ling has mentioned "my woman". When Lan Zhi said this by herself at the beginning, she was a little embarrassed to recommend herself to the pillow, but Duan Ling deliberately held on to it. But he couldn't refute it, so he had to bow down and make a big salute, and said solemnly and old-fashionedly: "Lan Zhi will definitely study hard in the future." ”

Duan Ling reached out to help her. But this time, Lan Zhi straightened up and skillfully avoided his hand. Duan Ling smiled, not reluctantly, but he couldn't refuse: "Come to my house tonight, I'll show you something." ”

He couldn't wait to get to know her. She didn't know who he was now, and she was on guard against him everywhere, Duan Ling didn't like this feeling. He planned to tell her his identity tonight. Come to think of it, she would be happy to know that he was still alive, right?

Duan Ling then went to train the recruits and sent a lieutenant to send Lan Zhi to Huweiwei. The captain took Lan Zhi with a sword and took her to the women's barracks. The two of them were halfway through their journey when they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them. The lieutenant turned around and motioned for Lan Zhi to stand on the side of the road: "Wait, make way for Xiang Zheng." ”

Lan Zhi paused, turned around slowly, and saw a strong man riding a horse.

Two years of time went back quickly, and in an instant, Lan Zhi seemed to have returned to the Imperial Palace of the Central Plains. The adoptive father was killed, the adoptive mother was raped, and the last words they left for her were "go and save my brother". Lan Zhi changed into a set of Yuyuan soldiers' uniforms and went all the way to the palace, but was stopped outside the palace. She easily fought her way out of the bloody road and came to the Prince's Palace, but she only saw the fire in the sky!

The door of the hall was closed, Lan Zhi held her breath and stepped forward, and a sword split open the thick wooden door! There are many palace maids and eunuchs lying in the hall, most of them have been smoked to death, and a few still have a breath and are still dying. In the firelight, Lan Zhi saw the familiar figure of her younger brother, who was covering his mouth and nose and crawling out of the hall.

Lan Zhi wanted to rush into the fire to save people! But I felt a strong wind behind me, and quickly turned around! I saw Xiang Jinxiu riding on a horse, raising his sword and slashing at her!

At that time, Lan Zhi was besieged by the soldiers of Yuyuan Kingdom and had already suffered several injuries. Xiang Jin's martial arts are far above her. She struggled to maneuver for a few rounds before he stabbed her in the chest with a sword!

Draw your sword fiercely to Jinxiu! The blood on Lan Zhi's chest immediately wet her clothes. As she fell heavily into the dust, she looked towards the palace and saw that the wooden beams could not bear the fire and fell on her brother's body. And Xiang Jinxiu rode high on his horse, shook the blood on the sword, and looked down at her coldly.

Afterwards...... It's endless darkness.

After two years, Xiang Jinxiu came again. Lan Zhi clenched her hands into fists, and her body couldn't restrain her from trembling slightly. The bone-eating hatred burned her dizzy. But in the monstrous hatred, there is also a kind of love that Lan Zhi does not want to admit...... The name is fearful.

Xiao Jianchu rescued the dying Lan Zhi. Her injuries healed after half a year of healing, but the pain from the sword stabbing into her chest still lingered. The memory of dying has always remained in the deepest part of Lan Zhi's heart, she is afraid of the pain of death, afraid of the endless darkness, and afraid of the man who killed her lightly.

She comforted herself countless times: she had done her best back then. Now that her younger brother is dead, and Xiang Jinxiu is a general, she can't do anything anymore. So she pretended to forget, pretended not to care, and hid by Xiao Jianchu's side for two years.

But escaping made her feel uneasy. The nightmares that haunted her day and night were a punishment for her cowardice.

If it weren't for Xiao Jianchu pushing her, she would still be hiding in the Central Plains, right? On the way to Haotian City, she was also afraid and wanted to turn back. But the further she went, the more determined her mind became. And now, now that she is standing here, she will no longer allow fear to dominate her.

Xiang Jinxiu rode his horse and soon passed in front of Lan Zhi. The captain leaned over to salute, and Lan Zhi slowly bent down. Unexpectedly, the horse's hooves stepped away from Lan Zhi's face, but stopped again and turned back in front of her. The man on the horse did not speak, but grabbed Lan Zhi's chin with the handle of the horsewhip in his hand and lifted her face.

Lan Zhi raised her head in accordance with the strength of Jin Xiu and met his gaze. The middle-aged man in front of him had a wide face and thick eyebrows, and his contours were extremely deep, and he was frowning and squinting at her.

Lan Zhi lowered her eyes, and said in a calm voice: "I've seen Lord Xiang." ”

Xiang Jinxiu didn't let go, and for a moment, a voice that didn't distinguish feelings came: "Woman, I remember you." ”

Lan Zhi was shocked in her heart: What do you mean?! Could it be that after two years, Xiang Jinxiu still remembers her?!
