Deputy Envoy Duan's actions, Lan Zhi didn't know. She hadn't gone far from Hu Weiwei when a man who was selling sachets caught up with her: "This ...... But Miss Lan Zhi? ”

Lan Zhi stopped to look at him. This is a man in his thirties from the Central Plains, with an ordinary face, Lan Zhi searched in her memory, but she had no impression of this person, so she hesitated: "It's me, who is this eldest brother?" ”

The man from the Central Plains said "I don't dare" and explained: "My fellow villager came from the Qin'an Mountains last month to sell jade, and someone asked him to help deliver a letter. It so happened that I had been selling sachets across the street from the post office, and he handed me the letter. He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lan Zhi: "The person who wrote the letter said that you will definitely come to the post post in the next few months, but I don't believe it yet." Fortunately, I kept an eye on it, so I didn't miss it. ”

Qin'an Mountains? Isn't that the man's territory? Lan Zhi's heart moved slightly, and she took the letterhead, but she lowered her eyes and said, "You haven't seen me, so why do you know it's me?" ”

The Central Plains man smiled, pointed to the envelope and said, "Girl, you will understand when you look at it yourself." ”

Lan Zhi looked down at the envelope and saw that the front of the envelope was written in large words "Lan Zhi personally opened", and the back was ...... But it's a portrait of her. The portrait was so good at painting her that it depicted her so realistically that it was no wonder that the man recognized her.

Lan Zhi dispelled her suspicions, put the letter in her arms, and bowed to the Central Plains man: "Thank you, big brother." ”

She walked a little further, went to a remote part of Haotian City and found a cheap inn to live in, and as soon as she entered the house, she opened the envelope. But I saw that there was only one piece of rice paper inside, and "A Zhi" was written on the head, and the content was just two words: "very Nian", and the inscription "Jian Chu".

This is indeed Xiao Jianchu's letter. But he took so much trouble to send her this letter, just to say this "what thoughts" to her?

Lan Zhi stared at the rice paper, and thought to herself: Xiao Jianchu is also a big colt on the Central Plains after all, and when he was entrenched in the Qin'an Mountains, his subordinates often clashed with Yuyuan soldiers. Since he made a detour to find a merchant to help deliver the letter, he refused to go to Yuyuanguo's post station, thinking that he mentioned something in the letter, and he didn't want to be seen by Yuyuanren. Then it is very possible for him to make this seemingly simple letter, and then hide some mysteries in it and wait for her to find out.

She took the rice paper to the window and shone it at the light, nothing strange. Lan Zhi picked up the envelope again. The woman on the back of the envelope had a calm face, her eyes were gloomy, and her indifferent demeanor was almost the same as Lan Zhi.

Such a portrait, except for Xiao Jianchu himself, I am afraid that no matter how clever the painter is, he will not be able to draw it. Lan Zhi's eyes fell on the woman's ear, but she found that the woman was actually wearing a pair of teardrop-shaped earrings.

Lan Zhi never wears earrings because she doesn't have pierced ears. Xiao Jianchu knew this. The women of the Central Plains all wear pierced ears, but Lan Zhi's adoptive father has been unwilling to restrain her since she was a child, let her learn martial arts, and let her travel around the world in men's clothes, so naturally he will not mind whether she wears pierced ears or not. There was a basin of water on the coffee table in the room, Lan Zhi reached out and dipped the water, dripping the droplets on the earrings of the portrait, and saw the ink dissolve, meandering and scattering, and when it was finalized again, it actually formed a word.

It turns out that the mystery is here. Lan Zhi opened the envelope and flattened it and put it in a basin of water. The woman's face gradually blurred, and the familiar handwriting appeared one by one.

There is no superfluous nonsense, the first sentence of this letter is: "Xiang Jinxiu, 42 years old, Hu Weiwei is making ......"

Xiang Jinxiu is the general of Yu Yuanguo who slaughtered Lan Zhiman. Xiao Jian first told Lan Zhi that when there was no war in Yuyuan Kingdom, Xiang Jinxiu became a regular envoy in Huweiwei to guard the imperial city. This person is absurd in nature, the family has raised nearly 100 women from all over the world, and the martial arts are superb, the beginning of the year held a martial arts competition, among the hundreds of people, it is to the strength of the cultivation to win the first place.

After reading this paragraph, Lan Zhi's feelings suddenly surged. She knew that Xiang Jin was a cultivator. When the Imperial City of the Central Plains was captured, Xiang Jinxiu arrested many officials' wives and concubines, found an ancestral hall and locked them up, and raped them one after another. Her adoptive mother is a famous beauty in the imperial city, and she is among them. To this day, the sad voice of her adoptive mother seems to still remain in her ears: "Ah Zhi, go away!" Come on! ”

Lan Zhi took a deep breath and continued to read. In the second paragraph, Xiao Jian first told her that Haotian City was conscripted all year round. The Son of Heaven of Yuyuan Kingdom believes in the supremacy of the strong, so as long as it is Yuyuan people, regardless of men, women, and children, they can join the army. Every month on the 9th, 19th, and 29th, it is the conscription day of Haotian City.

Xiao Jianchu only told Lan Zhi this information, and the rest of the words were not explicitly stated. Lan Zhi knew that his advice coincided with what she had in mind: the best way to approach a general was to turn herself into his soldier. It's just that Hu Weiwei is responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city, and every soldier is one in a hundred, after Lan Zhi becomes a soldier of Yuyuan Kingdom, how to join Hu Weiwei and how to kill Xiang Jinxiu is something she will have to plan carefully in the future.

Xiao Jianchu even made up a fake identity for her. According to his arrangement, Lan Zhi and his father depended on each other and lived together in the mountains and forests at the junction of Yuyuan Kingdom and Central Plains Kingdom. Because there are often people from the Central Plains coming and going at the border, she can speak fluent Central Plains dialect and know a lot about the Central Plains. And because the father and daughter make a living from hunting, she has practiced a good martial arts. A few months ago, her father died, and she lived alone and was bored, so she came to Haotian City.

When Lan Zhi saw this, she didn't know what it was like in her heart: it turned out to be ...... Xiao Jianchu already knew what she wanted to do. He knew that her demonic obstacle stemmed from a hatred that he couldn't let go, and he knew that she would want to kill Xiang Jinxiu and avenge her family, but he didn't say anything. He just let her come to Haotian City, waited for her to see it for herself, and then did his best to give her the greatest help.

- He had always known her better than herself.

At the end of the letter was a sentence: "Don't be impatient, plan before acting, and cherish yourself." It was Xiao Jianchu's advice to her. Lan Zhi stared at that line of words, but what came to mind was the letter she saw at the beginning: Ah Zhi, very much.

Ah Zhi, very much. Ah Zhi, very much. Lan Zhi read this sentence in her heart, and her fingers slowly stroked the words "cherish yourself". Before the paper dried, there were traces of water on her fingertips, Lan Zhi rubbed her slightly wet fingers and sighed softly.

It's just that it's not a place to indulge sentimentality. There was a small stove burning charcoal in the house, Lan Zhi threw the letter envelope into the furnace, and secretly made a decision: when she killed Xiang Jinxiu, she would immediately return to Xiao Jianchu's side.

Seeing that the paper in the small furnace was burned to ashes little by little, Lan Zhi left the inn. She bought paper, borrowed pen and ink, and wrote a reply to Xiao Jianchu. I went to the post post to find the man from the Central Plains who bought the sachet, gave him the only three taels of silver left, and asked him to help reply to the letter for himself.

The Central Plains man readily agreed, and Lan Zhi returned to the inn with peace of mind. Today is eighteen, she plans to have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, she will go to the military camp in the city to sign up for the army.

But as soon as she arrived at the door of the inn, she saw two men in the store, who were talking to the shopkeeper with their backs to her: "...... He is about this tall, has very white skin, and is very beautiful. Carrying a sword on his back, wearing a hooded tunic and carrying a beautiful little boy from the Central Plains......"

This describes...... How is it somewhat like her? Lan Zhi's footsteps slowed down, and she looked carefully at the person who spoke, and was shocked in her heart: that person was actually one of the soldiers who chased and killed the girl yesterday!

There was also a man standing beside the soldier, dressed in an ochre-colored suit with a sword hanging from his waist. Lan Zhi inexplicably felt that this dress was a little familiar, and after a moment she remembered that she had seen Deputy Envoy Duan wearing this dress.

- This man is the captain of Hu Weiwei!

Lan Zhi's intuition was not good, and she paused in her footsteps, and planned to find a place to hide. Unexpectedly, at this time, the shopkeeper's gaze happened to pass over the two men and met her eyes.
