Chapter 25: Clues (3)
When Lan Zhi returned to the women's barracks, she found an opportunity to find Yuan Qiaoqiao and falsely spread Duan Ling's order, only that Lord Duan needed Gu worms. Yuan Qiaoqiao didn't doubt it when she saw that it was Lan Zhi, but she just cautiously told Lan Zhi that her Gu worms were still in cultivation, and she would have to wait at least a month before they could finally mature.
Lan Zhi was a little disappointed. She thought that she would be able to kill Xiang Jinxiu in just a few days, but she didn't expect that she would have to wait for the Gu worm to mature first. A month can give birth to many variables, in case Yuan Qiaoqiao asks Duan Ling for verification, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. But she couldn't, so she had to ask Yuan Qiaoqiao about the utility characteristics of the Gu worm first, and told her that after the Gu worm matured, she would give it to herself quickly.
That night, Lan Zhi went to Xinfeng Courtyard as usual. Du Lianxue didn't accompany her benefactor tonight, but sat silently at the table alone. Lan Zhi sat down across from her and listened to her whisper, "Sister, the leader wants to see you." ”
Lan Zhi quickly turned her head to look at her. The title "leader" seemed commonplace, but Lan Zhi immediately understood who she was talking about. I still remember that in the Tiger Weiwei Heavenly Prison, Si Yang once said: "All the activities of the Central Plains anti-thieves in Haotian City are under the command of the first leader. We wanted to bring that leader to justice, but the leader was so secretive that few people knew his identity......"
Unexpectedly, the person who contacted Du Lianxue was actually the leader of the Central Plains in Haotian City. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jianchu really had something to do with this leader......
Lan Zhi said slowly: "Why did you get involved with those people? ”
The disapproval in her tone was very obvious, and Du Lianxue was very unhappy when she heard it: "What do you mean by 'those people'?!" I am also from the Central Plains, I don't want to see the Central Plains country being ruined by the Yuyuan country, I am like-minded with them, why can't we be together! ”
Lan Zhi looked at her fixedly, and sighed in a low voice: "Like-minded......"
This is another fool with thoughts, Lan Zhi sighed in her heart. Thinking of the tragic death of the Central Plains in the prison, and then looking at the girl's flowery face in front of her, Lan Zhi couldn't help but worry about her.
But Lan Zhi was powerless to change anything. Du Lianxue's stubbornness and stubbornness, she has seen it a long time ago. She tried to convince herself not to care, not to care, and changed the subject: "I don't see your leader. ”
Du Lianxue was stunned for a moment, obviously unexpectedly she refused so firmly. She opened her mouth: "You...... Why don't you see him? ”
Lan Zhi said indifferently: "I don't know why he wants to see me, but I won't trouble myself." He replied: "You tell him that I just haven't heard of today's words, and he doesn't want to mention them again." Otherwise, Hugh blames me for informing Huweiwei. ”
Du Lianxue frowned: "You won't." ”
Lan Zhi smiled lightly: "Don't overestimate my kindness. ”
Du Lianxue's face sank and stared at her without saying a word. Lan Zhi let her look at it, took the teacup from the table, and calmly poured herself a drink. In the middle of the sound, Du Lianxue got up suddenly, kicked the table hard, and entered the side room angrily.
Yuan Bai was waiting in the house, but saw the secret door open, and Du Lianxue walked in alone. The girl panted slightly, looking a little sad, but also a little angry. Seeing Yuan Bai, her footsteps stopped, and after a moment, Fang Na said: "Leader......" She stood in place, a little at a loss: "She...... She doesn't want to see you. ”
Yuan Bai was not very surprised, but laughed. Seeing him laughing, Du Lianxue felt more and more aggrieved: "She also said that she was going to tell Hu Weiwei!" ”
Yuan Bai still smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't be angry, she won't." He thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the bedroom: "You come with me." ”
Du Lianxue was puzzled to keep up, but hurriedly persuaded: "The leader should not see her." As the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, although she intervened to save me several times, she didn't know if there was a special reason. What if she doesn't have the patience for you and sends you out! At the beginning, Uncle Liu left a secret message saying that the news was in Lan Zhi's hands, maybe she snatched the news, and then deliberately set up an ambush in Wuxiang Temple, wanting to catch it all......"
Yuan Bai laughed. Du Lianxue's voice paused, and then she saw the man tilt his head slightly, and asked with a smile: "Ah Xue really thinks so?" ”
Du Lianxue looked back, lowered her head again for a moment, and said no more.
Du Lianxue knew that Yuan Bai wanted to see Lan Zhi because she wanted to win Lan Zhi over, although she was worried that Lan Zhi might be in danger because of this, she was also very happy: this woman was indifferent and not good at expressing her feelings, but she saved her life when she was desperate. Not only that, Lan Zhi was also the first person to give her warmth and support after her parents died. She is really willing to walk with Lan Zhi in the future. Unexpectedly, Lan Zhi not only rejected the leader, but also stood on the opposite side of the leader. Du Lianxue inexplicably felt a sense of betrayal.
But since Lan Zhi was unwilling, Du Lianxue didn't want to be reluctant either. She didn't know if Lan Zhi's words were sincere, but she didn't want to risk testing the facts, she would rather not give Lan Zhi this chance from the beginning. She was immersed in her own love, but she saw an extra hand in front of her. Yuan Bai hooked a piece of jade pendant with his fingertips and handed it to Du Lianxue: "Give this to her, and she will come to see me." ”
Du Lianxue took the jade pendant, but she still struggled: "But, the leader ......"
Yuan Bai raised his hand and patted her head: "Go ahead." He looked into Du Lianxue's eyes and said softly: "Believe me, she won't denounce me." ”
Under the mask of the dance, those eyes were unexpectedly convincing. Du Lianxue stared at Yu Pei for a moment, and finally left according to her words. When she returned to her room, she saw Lan Zhi leaning against the window, her sword wrapped around her hands, her chin buried in her collar, and she was closing her eyes to recuperate. Du Lianxue paused, slammed the door shut in a moment, rushed to Lan Zhi in a few steps, and poked the jade pendant under her nose: "Here you go!" ”
Lan Zhi opened her eyes and saw the jade pendant in Du Lianxue's hand, and her face changed instantly! She almost immediately straightened up, grabbed the jade pendant, flipped it over and over to look at it carefully, and suddenly raised her head and asked Du Lianxue: "Who gave you this thing?!" ”
It was almost harsh. Du Lianxue had never seen Lan Zhi react like this, she was stunned for a moment, and replied after a moment: "It's the leader......"
Lan Zhi held the jade pendant and took a deep breath: "...... I'll go see him. ”
Lan Zhi followed Du Lianxue through the secret door to another room. Yuan Bai turned his back to them, heard the noise, and turned his head away.
The first thing that caught my eye was the dance mask. Lan Zhi frowned slightly: "It's you." ”
- It turned out that Duan Ling would stop him for questioning, not really because he didn't like him. Duan Ling really felt that there was something wrong with this person.
Yuan Bai nodded towards Lan Zhi, but said to Du Lianxue: "Ah Xue, it's hard work." You go back first. ”
Du Lianxue glanced at Lan Zhi again, and finally retreated as she said and closed the door for the two. The room was quiet for a while, Lan Zhi looked at the man carefully, maybe it was a psychological effect, she actually began to feel that this person was a little familiar. This made her unconsciously clench her sword: "Where did you get this jade pendant?" ”
Yuan Bai's voice was leisurely: "This is originally my thing." ”
When Lan Zhi got this answer, she felt her body tremble a little. She suppressed her tremolo and almost ordered, "Take the mask off!" ”
Yuan Bai was obedient and reached out to get the mask. Lan Zhi watched the slender knuckles holding the mask down a little bit, and her heart rose to her throat. saw Yuan Bai turn his head to the side of her, revealing the ...... under the mask of the dancer Another gold leaf mask!
Lan Zhi suddenly felt a breath in her chest, unable to go up or down. Thinking that her expression was very good-looking, Yuan Bai laughed, and her laughter was extraordinarily loud, as if the child's prank had been successful. Lan Zhi heard this familiar smile, and finally rushed forward in a few steps!
The other mask was only half of it, and the other half of Yuan Bai's face was presented in front of Lan Zhi unobstructed. There were no traces of flames raging on this half of his face, and his skin was as flawless as jade. The gold leaf mask shone in the candlelight, but the light could not hide the man's gorgeous face. Lan Zhi took two steps back, her lips squirmed several times, but in the end she just said: "Ren Yuanbai ......"
Her voice was hoarse and not as usual, as if the words were squeezed out of her lungs, and any more words were weak. Ren Yuanbai responded crisply: "Hey! Then he called again: "Sister! ”
Lan Zhi didn't answer him. The sword that had never left her hand finally landed, Lan Zhi stared at Ren Yuanbai and felt out of breath: "...... You're not dead......"
Sister and brother died and reunited after two years, they shouldn't have said such things. But Lan Zhi's mind was empty, and she couldn't think of anything else. When these words came out, the corners of her mouth moved, and she seemed to pull out a smile, but her eyes were hot, and she actually shed tears.
The warmth flowed to her lips, Lan Zhi lowered her head, raised her hand to stop her eyes, and her palms were wet with tears. She felt Ren Yuanbai standing beside her, and she seemed to be a little at a loss. He didn't dare to laugh, and said, "Sister, why are you crying?" Aren't I fine? ”
His words paused, because Lan Zhi suddenly raised her hand and gave him a slap in the face! The corners of her eyes were still red, and there were tears on her face, but her expression and tone were unexpectedly ruthless: "What are you thinking!" Concealed it from me for two years! ”
This palm really used force, Ren Yuanbai was beaten by her and turned his head, and five red fingerprints immediately appeared on Ruyu's face. But he was not angry at all, but coaxed with good words: "Sister...... Isn't it inconvenient for me to be in an enemy country? Don't be angry. ”
Lan Zhi slapped him, seemingly calming down, but turned her head to look at the ground, refusing to look at him. Ren Yuanbai bowed down to her and flattered the coquettish: "Good sister, I know it's wrong, so forgive me." He thought for a moment and spread out his palms: "Shall I give you another palm?" ”
Lan Zhi's mind was so messy that she could barely think. She turned her head several times and wanted to ignore Ren Yuanbai, but Ren Yuanbai insisted on putting his head in front of her and pestering her. Lan Zhi almost instinctively said, "Such a big person......
This sentence exited, as if turning on the switch of the past. Those messy thoughts dissipated in an instant, and Lan Zhi recalled her childhood, whenever Ren Yuanbai made a mistake and was afraid of her father's punishment, she would run to her. And she is not good at preaching, so she can only repeat this sentence over and over again: "Such a big person......"
- Thinking about it this way, Ren Yuanbai seems to have been talked about by her as an adult since she was six or seven years old.
Lan Zhi's gaze fell on Ren Yuanbai little by little, and finally she laughed with tears on her face.
