Duan Ling's face was not very good. The man looked straight at Lan Zhi and said after a moment, "Daddy left." ”

Lan Zhi was stunned. According to Yuyuan's custom, the bride and groom should visit the elders in the afternoon, but Duan Guangrong left early, and he seemed to be very angry.

She just stood silently and didn't speak, looking at Duan Ling's eyes, she seemed to be indifferent. Duan Ling took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Ah Zhi, I know you hate me, but that's between us. Duan Guangrong is my adoptive father, he doesn't have a few years left, why do you want to make him unhappy? ”

The sentence "It's my adoptive father" stabbed Lan Zhi's heart. She was originally determined not to talk to Duan Ling about Ren Yuanbai's death, not to give him a chance to quibble, and not to give herself the possibility of forgiving him, but at this time, her words were uncontrollable and blurted out: "When you killed Ren Yuanbai, did you ever think that he was my brother?" ”

Duan Ling actually knew that now was not the time to have a good conversation, but Lan Zhi's forced gaze made him have to answer this question: "Do I have any other choice?" The Holy Lord asked me to lead the tiger to arrest him, and he would not be able to escape even if he was a fly, so if I didn't kill him, would I take him back to prison for torture? ”

"You have a choice!" Lan Zhi's chest rose and fell sharply: "You obviously have a choice!" If...... If the person who was hunted down that day was me, you dare to say that you couldn't save my life? ”

If it was on weekdays, Duan Ling would definitely not discuss this kind of false proposition with Lan Zhi, but the drunkenness that had not completely subsided came to his head again, and he replied bluntly: "Yes, if it is you, then you will fight for this life, and I will save you." But that was Ren Yuanbai. He has used you and put you in danger many times, so why should I take risks for that kind of person? ”

Lan Zhi almost roared, "He is my only relative!" ”

When this sentence came out, the feeling of tightness in his chest seemed to have broken the embankment. After Ren Yuanbai's death, Lan Zhi made no secret of it for the first time, staring at Duan Ling with hatred. Duan Ling felt that gaze was like a knife in his heart, and the fantasy of drinking tea was still in his eyes, but it seemed to be a joke at this time. As if something had broken out of the cage in his heart, Duan Ling suddenly turned around and walked to the desk, grabbed the sword placed on it, and threw it heavily in front of Lan Zhi!

With the sound of metal falling to the ground, Duan Ling approached Lan Zhi step by step. The man's eyes were like flames burning, but his tone was as deep as falling ice: "That's your father's sword." He was once the strongest man in the Nalan family. ”

The scene began to spiral out of control. Duan Ling had thought about tolerating it unconditionally, but Lan Zhi thought that she could always pretend to be indifferent. But today, none of them have been able to do it. Contradictions are like gunpowder, but their feelings are like sparks, if they are inadvertently revealed, they will ignite the two.

Duan Ling stood close to Lan Zhi, raised his hand to hold her face, and said word by word: "In this world, I am the only one who is your blood-related relative. Now that we are married, I am still your husband. I'm the one who wants to spend your life with you. ”

What answered him was a slap in the face of Lan Zhi's backhand! Lan Zhi broke free from him and took a step back, sneering, "You are also worthy?" It's just a lackey of Nalan's family, and you dare to say that you are in the same blood as me? ”

This slap was so hard that Duan Ling's hair crown fell to the ground. He kept his head slightly tilted, letting his hair cover his face, and didn't open his mouth for a while. For a while, all I could hear in the room was Lan Zhi's rapid panting.

But in the next second, the man suddenly moved! He grabbed Lan Zhi's shoulder like lightning, as if he wanted to restrain her, but Lan Zhi had already taken precautions and dodged, and leaned over to copy the sword on the ground!

Her hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, but Duan Ling stepped forward with an arrow and stepped on the sword to the ground! Lan Zhi propped up her legs with one hand and flew into the air, and kicked his chest instead! Duan Ling flexibly twisted around and staggered the vital point, and Ren was kicked in the shoulder, but he took the opportunity to wrap his backhand around her calf and knock her to the ground!

Lan Zhi fell to the ground and wanted to get up, but Duan Ling quickly pressed her limbs. When she was completely restrained, Lan Zhi gave up resistance and yelled viciously: "Get out! She was pressed under the man, but instead she held her head high and raised her chin high: "Nalan Ling!" What about your oath? What about your allegiance? I command you as the king of Nalan! I don't care about you! ”

This sentence made the flame in Duan Ling's eyes extinguish instantly. He didn't seem to be able to react, there was a moment of astonishment and confusion in his eyes, and his hands were relieved. Lan Zhi pushed him away, and without looking at him again, like a real king, she got up and sorted out her clothes with a cold and arrogant face.

She thought that this was the end of this quarrel, and passed over Duan Ling, who was still sitting on the ground, and prepared to leave. But I felt a strong wind behind me! And then the world spins!

Duan Ling picked Lan Zhi up and threw her on the bed in a few steps! The man pressed hard again, grabbed her wrists with both hands, and imprisoned her legs with his legs. His eyes were surprisingly bright, and his voice was hoarse as if calling her, and as if he was muttering to himself, "Wang ......"

This posture is so close that the slightest movement is like a lingering grinding. Lan Zhi burned red eyes and didn't care at all, and writhed and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! ”

Duan Ling gritted his teeth, let her scuffle without saying a word, and waited for her to stop for a while, before she withdrew her hand and ripped off her clothes!

The Yin Luohua brand on the man's □□ shoulder came into view, and Lan Zhi stopped struggling, snorting and panting. Duan Ling met her eyes: "This imprint is there, and my oath is there." I will guard you and be loyal to you until the end of my life. But......" he said in a suppressed tone, with a kind of forbearance madness, "I don't want to be your dog." I want to be your man. ”

Lan Zhi answered without a pause: "Dream! ”

Duan Ling looked at her fixedly, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and actually pulled out a dagger from under the pillow on the side. He stuffed the dagger into Lan Zhi's hand, tore his clothes even wider, and muttered, "I know, do you want me to exchange my life?" He grabbed Lan Zhi's hands and aimed the dagger at his chest: "Okay, let's change." ”

The tip of the knife unambiguously penetrated into the flesh, and the blood immediately flowed. The lower the man's voice, the softer his tone seemed to be whispering, but the words he uttered were compelling: "If you hate me, kill me now." Otherwise, give me what I want. ”

With that, Duan Ling let go. He could have been covert, but he didn't. There was a breath in his chest, so much so that he had to use his life as a bargaining chip to confirm Lan Zhi's affection. And this time, Lan Zhi didn't scold him again. She remained in the position of holding the knife, motionless, and did not answer. Duan Ling looked straight at her and waited quietly, but she never responded.

In Duan Ling's heart, the irritability and depression dissipated little by little as time passed, and were replaced by the anticipation and tension that slowly surged up. The silence continued, his reason gradually returned, his expression gradually eased, and he even began to think about how to phrase it, but he saw Lan Zhi move. Her dagger didn't go into his heart, but it swung at his shoulder!

The pain came sharply, and Duan Ling snorted! Lan Zhi took the opportunity to push hard! Knock him to the ground! Then she stood up and said coldly: "Kill you? Wouldn't that be a waste of my scheming to marry you? ”

Duan Ling turned his head to look and saw that the flesh and blood on his shoulder were blurred, and the brand that had accompanied him for many years was gone. The dagger in Lan Zhi's hand was dripping with blood, which made her expression extremely indifferent: "You want to be happy?" I can't fulfill you. She threw the dagger to the ground, turned and strode away: "I won't let you die of being ruined and tortured, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart!" ”

said that after Xinfeng Courtyard was sealed, Du Lianxue asked Xiao Jianchu for help and managed to take it down. She used to be the Oiran of Xinfeng Temple, and now she is the shopkeeper of Xinfeng Temple, and she is familiar everywhere. Lan Zhi was about to get married, and she felt lonely living alone, so she moved back to Xinfeng Courtyard and lived in the original house.

On this day, she took a nap until the sun was in the west, and before she could wash up, she heard someone push the door. Du Lianxue got up and went out, and unexpectedly saw Lan Zhi sitting at the square table in the hall. Du Lianxue was stunned: "Sister...... Aren't you married today? Why did you come to me? ”

Lan Zhi put one hand on the table, leaned on the armchair with the other, hung her head slightly, and did not answer. She was obviously wearing a red wedding dress, but her body was lifeless, and she didn't have the slightest sense of celebration. From this angle, Du Lianxue couldn't see her expression clearly, but she could inexplicably feel her heavy pain, as well as ...... The love that is about to collapse.

Du Lianxue's lips opened slightly. She remembered that after Ren Yuanbai's death, she often cried bitterly at night, but Lan Zhi was just silent and busy day and night, never showing the slightest weakness and sadness. She felt that Lan Zhi was strong, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that Lan Zhi was just an ordinary woman like her.

Du Lianxue walked in front of Lan Zhi and carefully touched Lan Zhi's shoulder. She thought hard and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Won't Duan Ling marry you? ”

Lan Zhi maintained a posture of hanging her head, but still did not answer. She seemed to be trying to restrain something, and even Du Lianxue could notice that her breathing was chaotic, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, intermittent.

Du Lianxue asked this sentence, and she didn't know how to continue. She put her arm on Lan Zhi's shoulder and didn't dare to move indiscriminately, but she heard Lan Zhi say, "You are in this house, lend me one night." ”

The words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, not at all like Lan Zhi's usual voice. Du Lianxue was stunned again. She thought about it, thinking that Lan Zhi was in a bad mood and had nowhere to go, so she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, you can live here, you can live as long as you want, if you have anything to want, just tell the maid." ”

Lan Zhi was silent for a moment and waved her hand: "You go out...... I want to be quiet. ”

Du Lianxue stood for a moment. She wanted to do something for Lan Zhi again, but she really couldn't figure out what to do, so she had to turn around as she said. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a small medicine bottle on the square table. Du Lianxue paused, turned her head to stare at the medicine bottle for a while, suddenly reached out to take it, opened the medicine bottle and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff, and her face immediately changed. She held the small medicine bottle tightly, and her voice raised a few degrees: "Sister, is this a jade pill?" ”

Lan Zhi still didn't answer, but Du Lianxue was sure. Her love instantly became excited: "Sister! What do you want?! Who told me to quit the chalcedony in the first place? You know better than I do how harmful this thing is! Now you want to touch it again? ”

Lan Zhi finally spoke. She whispered a few words: "Give me back." You go out. ”

Du Lianxue took a few steps back. She was afraid that Lan Zhi would come to grab it, so she held the medicine bottle to her chest, pursed her lips and glared, almost crying. Lan Zhi slowly looked up at her, and saw her turn around and run into the bedroom, slamming the door shut! Lan Zhi waited in the hall for a quarter of an hour, only to hear her in the room, but no one came out.

Lan Zhi finally stood up. She walked to the door of the bedroom, knocked on the door and said tiredly: "Du Lianxue, come out." ”

She thought that Du Lianxue would not open the door, and was about to break in, but she saw the door open wide! Du Lianxue was dressed in a men's robe, with a man's hairstyle, and a dance mask on her face, standing quietly in front of the door.

Lan Zhi thought for a moment that she had seen Ren Yuanbai. She looked at Du Lianxue blankly, and didn't know how to react for a while, but she heard Du Lianxue's voice coming from behind the Wu Wu mask: "Sister." ”

Her voice was very low, and at first glance, it sounded a bit like a teenager. For no reason, Lan Zhi's eyes were hot. She hurriedly turned her head and turned around, no longer looking at Du Lianxue, but Du Lianxue ran in front of her in a few steps and called out repeatedly: "Sister! Sister! Sister! ”

The fatigue and depression of the days suddenly broke out at this moment, and Lan Zhi was hot-headed and a little dizzy. She pushed Du Lianxue away: "Don't call me like that." Du Lianxue hugged her hand and said with a crying voice: "Sister! Yuan Bai is gone, I can be your brother! If you have anything unhappy, you can tell me and I will help you! She spoke faster: "If you are sad, you can hug me and cry!" Why bother holding back so much, embarrassing yourself so much!

She asked Lan Zhi to cry, but before she finished speaking, she cried first. Warm tears wet Lan Zhi's arm, Lan Zhi stood upright, and suddenly felt that the love that had been stuffed in her chest had dissipated, as if those tears had flowed into her heart.

It was not the first time that Du Lianxue had cried in front of Lan Zhi. For the sake of her father and mother who died tragically, for Ren Yuanbai, she washed her face with tears many times. But this time, Lan Zhi inexplicably knew that her tears were flowing for herself. As if she wanted to cry all her sorrows for Lan Zhi, the girl cried so much that her heart and intestines were broken. In the midst of the painful crying, Lan Zhi slowly raised her head and raised her hand to cover her eyes. Damp heat spilled through the fingers and dripped onto the ugly Nu dance mask. This girl, who has always been taken care of by her and worried about her, finally repaid her kindness in this way.

I don't know how long it took, the rays of the setting sun were getting longer and longer in the room, and finally disappeared, Lan Zhi pushed Du Lianxue away, took off her dance mask, and sighed softly: "Okay, don't cry." ”

Du Lianxue looked at her with red eyes, shook her head and sobbed: "Then you have to promise me that you are not allowed to use jade dirch." ”

Lan Zhi raised her hand and gently patted her hair. Her voice was as reassuring as usual: "Don't worry, I'm measured." That's not enough to get me hooked. She was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "I'm just...... Only one night...... I want to be with him. ”
