Lan Zhi was avoiding it, but she saw a figure flashing with a cold light in front of her! Qiu Yucheng was forced to retreat and stood a few feet away.

When she looked closely, several people dressed as guards stood in front of her. At the same time, a warm male voice sounded: "What? How could it be Akira-sama...... Lord Qiu, I'm really sorry, I thought there were scoundrels in the store again, and I wanted to stir up the situation. ”

Xiao Jianchu held the little girl's hand and apologized, and walked slowly to Lan Zhi's side. He scolded the guards: "It's really not long-sighted, don't you apologize to Lord Qiu soon!" ”

The guards bowed down and apologized. Xiao Jianchu took off his coat and put it on Lan Zhi. His movements were natural and polite, and then he took a step back, leaned over respectfully, and said, "Mrs. Duan, the subordinates are not well entertained, I hope you will forgive me." ”

With such a formation, Qiu Yucheng is not good at entanglement. He squinted at Xiao Jianchu and said mockingly: "Yo, although Shopkeeper Xiao is blind, his nose is bright!" Whoever is powerful and who is powerful, Shopkeeper Xiao can smell it from miles away. ”

He only thought that Xiao Jianchu was trying to please Duan Ling before he met him, and Xiao Jianchu didn't explain, and owed him a bow: "Lord Qiu laughed, this matter is really a misunderstanding, Xiao Mou will not compensate you." ”

Qiu Yucheng snorted coldly, and no longer did any more lip and tongue disputes, turned around and brushed his sleeves and left. Xiao Jianchu said to Lan Zhi at this time: "Mrs. Duan, please come here." ”

He took Lan Zhi to the backyard tea room and retired from the house. The two sat opposite each other, Lan Zhi saw Xiao Jianchu's slow movements and picked up the teapot on the small stove, and asked, "Why did Qiu Yucheng come to you?" ”

Xiao Jianchu took the teacup and put it on the desk: "He came with General Wei." At the wedding banquet that day, I managed to make friends with General Wei and asked him to help recommend my carriage in the army. ”

Lan Zhi was slightly surprised: "You want to sell the car to the Yuyuan army?" She immediately understood why Qiu Yu had appeared here: "But in this way, they will definitely send someone to find out your details, and you are not afraid of revealing your stuffing?" ”

Xiao Jianchu smiled faintly: "Let them check." When I first arrived, it was inevitable that people would be suspicious, so it would be easier for them to take the initiative to find out, and it would be easier for them to act in the future. ”

Seeing him say this, Lan Zhi was relieved: "It's good if you have a response." ”

Xiao Jianchu let out a "hmm" and stopped talking. He rinsed the cups with tea, added new water to the teapot, and put them on the stove again. The man's movements were graceful and his expression was focused, as if he was completely immersed in it, forgetting that Lan Zhi existed. Lan Zhi was in a trance for a while, as if the two of them had returned to Qin'an Mountain. At that time, she was holding the jade and grinding it repeatedly, so he took the letter and flipped through it, quietly accompanying him.

The fragrance of tea gradually overflowed the room, and Lan Zhi never spoke. However, Xiao Jianchu made tea, cleaned his hands in the basin, and said slowly: "How is Ah Zhi lately?" ”

He tilted his head slightly, as if he was still looking at Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi looked at the dark brown and dull eyes, and finally came back to her senses. She didn't want to say more, and replied a little perfunctorily: "It's okay." ”

Xiao Jianchu seemed to laugh. The man lowered his eyes for a moment, but then asked again, "You and Duan Ling...... Are you okay? ”

Lan Zhi was slightly displeased. She thought that Xiao Jianchu would change the topic with interest, but unexpectedly he continued to ask, and this question was obviously a bit out of bounds. She thought, she had killed Xiang Jinxiu as he wished, and also helped to take his □□ into the city, even if the favor was not clear, if he was in need, he would say it clearly, as if he asked her a personal question, what was his intention?

Lan Zhi didn't answer, but just asked, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

Xu was Lan Zhi's illusion, and she seemed to see Xiao Jianchu's hand pouring tea slightly sluggish. But soon, the man put down the teapot and said, "At the end of this month, the Central Plains Mission will come to Haotian City, and at that time, we will rescue His Highness." ”

Lan Zhi immediately turned positive: "How to save it?" ”

Xiao Jianchu brought the teacup to her: "The Central Plains has already repaired Emperor Yuyuan, asking him to release His Royal Highness from the prison." There are 10,000 stone grains as an apology, and Emperor Yuyuan finally agreed. He poured himself a cup of tea: "Where do you think he will lock His Highness away?" ”

Lan Zhi pondered for a moment: "The Proton Mansion will not go again, otherwise it will be known by the protons of other countries, and it will be difficult to manage in the future." She paused: "The guards are indispensable." You can't be locked up in prison, and you can't waste money to make a prison for him alone......"

She stopped, and already had the answer in her mind. Xiao Jianchu said: "After Emperor Yuyuan ascended the throne, several important ministers of the previous dynasty wrote and resigned, wanting to retire and return to their hometowns, but the emperor remembered their hard work and high achievements, and built them a Ningyi Courtyard for them and their families to live in, and the location was ...... It's near the Tiger Guard barracks. ”

Lan Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and the fresh aroma immediately overflowed her lips and tongue: "It's a pity that those important ministers all died of illness not long after they moved in, so the Anyi House was vacant for a while. In recent years, the emperor has been in real power, and the Anyi Yuan has become a place of house arrest, specializing in imprisoning some embarrassing figures. It is really appropriate to put the prince there. It's just ......" she changed her words: "Even if the prince is imprisoned in Anyiyuan, there are Hu Weiwei guards by his side to guard him closely, how do you rescue him?" ”

Xiao Jianchu lowered his head slightly at the teacup in front of him: "Do you know the Xiling Xiao family?" ”

Lan Zhi thought for a while and said, "You mean two years ago, the Xiao family in the Central Plains who attempted to rebel?" ”

Xiao Jianchu sighed softly: "The Xiao family did not rebel. General Xiao has been guarding the frontier all the year round, and has more than 300,000 military powers, if he really conspires against him, how could he be pacified so quickly. ”

Lan Zhi looked him up and down: "Did they rebel, how did you know?" She thought about it again, remembering that the Xiao family was punished by the three clans, so she asked, "Why don't you be a distant relative of the Xiao family?" ”

Xiao Jianchu shook his head and denied: "The messenger who came to Yuyuan this time is General Xiao's nephew, he came to Haotian City and brought something with him......

He explained the plan in full detail, and finally asked Lan Zhi, "What do you think?" ”

Lan Zhi went through this plan in her mind, and did not find the slightest loophole: "Very good." Then I'll buy a carriage from you in a few days......"

Before she finished her words, Xiao Jianchu interrupted: "No need. I'll reach out to others about this. ”

Lan Zhi was very skeptical: "Do you have a more suitable candidate than me?" ”

Xiao Jianchu nodded: "You have another task." Duan Ling knew that you were going to rescue His Highness, and he was well guarded, although this plan was good, it was difficult to deceive him. So, I hope you will try to break up Duan Ling on the day we act. I made a rough estimate to make sure that he couldn't get in touch with his men for at least three hours (six hours). ”

Lan Zhi frowned. It is easy to break Duan Ling for three hours, but Hu Weiwei has his own set of communication methods, and it is impossible to let Duan Ling lose contact for three hours. But she nodded anyway, "Okay." ”

The plan is tentative, and the two have nothing to say for a while. Lan Zhi saw Xiao Jianchu's fingers slowly rubbing the teacup, knowing that he was still thinking about it, and sure enough, the man said again: "If the rescue of the prince is successful this time, what are your plans in the future?" He waited for a while, and seeing that Lan Zhi didn't answer, he thought that she was unhappy with her talking, and explained: "I just remembered that last time you said that you wanted to send Yuan Bai back to the Central Plains, and you have to do it for Your Highness?" One is that Yuan Bai has a close relationship with His Royal Highness, and the other is that His Royal Highness sends Yuan Bai back to the ancestral ancestral hall of the Ren family, which is not a shame for him. ”

Lan Zhi was a little hesitant when she heard this: "Will Your Highness agree?" ”

Xiao Jianchu said lightly: "Yuan Bai has done his best for him, if he doesn't want to do this little thing, he will inevitably have no conscience." ”

Lan Zhi didn't expect him to dare to comment on the prince like this, and he was a little surprised for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense, so he responded: "That is the case, then this time His Highness returns to the Central Plains, I will accompany him all the way." ”

Xiao Jianchu raised his head instantly, and the action of rubbing the teacup paused. There was a flash of emotion on the man's face, but it quickly turned into a smile: "Okay, it's good to go back to the Central Plains." He was unexpectedly a little verbose: "You can just let it go, go back and start again." Although the Central Plains has suffered a little, with His Royal Highness here, you will not be wronged......"

The three words "can put it down" flashed in Duan Ling's mind with Duan Ling's figure, Lan Zhi suddenly felt upset, and put down the teacup heavily! With a muffled sound of "dong", Xiao Jianchu stopped talking. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and the two of them drank a pot of tea silently. Lan Zhi's mood calmed down a little, and finally spoke again: "When I left Qin Anshan, you said that you could use medicine to help me cover the birthmark on my back...... Did you bring the medicine? ”

Xiao Jianchu sipped the tea: "Didn't you want to be at the beginning...... Are you afraid that Qiu Yucheng will trouble you again? ”

Only then did Lan Zhi remember that she was still wearing his clothes. When he entered the tea room, Xiao Jianchu had already instructed the maid to get new clothes, and now she should have returned. She got up and walked towards the door: "Yes, Qiu Yucheng's intention today is very obvious, that is, to see if there is a birthmark on my back." At this moment, it is one thing to be missing, and the birthmark is better to cover it with medicine. ”

While speaking, Lan Zhi opened the door and saw the maid waiting outside the door with her clothes. She said to Xiao Jianchu: "I'll go change my clothes." He followed the maid to the side hall. When she returned to the tea room, she saw Xiao Jianchu standing in the tea room, holding a small medicine bottle in her hand.

Xiao Jianchu heard the sound of the door closing, tilted his head and said: "Apply this potion to the skin, and the birthmark will disappear, and it will not appear again unless it is washed with a special antidote." ”

Lan Zhixing went to take the medicine bottle: "This thing is not common, right?" ”

Xiao Jianchu said cautiously: "This is newly made by Qin'an Mountain Medicine Master, and it has only been used on a few people so far, so secretive, it shouldn't be recognized." ”

Lan Zhi let out a "hmm", but did not put away the medicine bottle. Xiao Jianchu didn't know her movements, and told him: "You can ask Duan Ling to help you put it on, or let him find a trustworthy grandmother." Otherwise, if you are looking for someone else, depending on Qiu Yucheng's ability, I am afraid it will be easy to find out the clues. ”

Lan Zhi stared at the medicine bottle and said slowly, "No, this matter ...... I'm not going to let Duan Ling know. ”

Xiao Jianchu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why?" ”

Lan Zhi did not answer. After a long silence, she stuffed the medicine bottle back into Xiao Jianchu's hand: "You...... You can paint it for me. ”

Xiao Jianchu's body froze, and he said with difficulty: "If you don't want to find Duan Ling, then go to Xinfeng Courtyard to find Du Lianxue, she is ......always reliable."

He wanted to hand back the medicine bottle, but Lan Zhi didn't answer: "No, Duan Ling will be the first to suspect Du Lianxue, if he is forced to ask, Du Lianxue can't deal with it." ”

Xiao Jianchu's face was a little at a loss: "But ......" He seemed to think of something: "But the birthmark is gone, Duan Ling will always find out, why should you hide it from him." ”

Although the occasion was wrong, Lan Zhi still couldn't help but think of that night. The man's lips and tongue fell on her back with a kind of suppressed enthusiasm......

His fate with her was all because of this birthmark. The favor he gave her came from this birthmark. If one day, he finds out that this birthmark is fake...... She wasn't actually his king, was she?

…………

Lan Zhi felt a dull pain in her heart, but there was also a calm determination. So be it, she thought. She loved him and hated him, and she couldn't find a balance between the two after all, and she couldn't stay by his side anymore. Since he can't keep it, it's better to give him a dream and give him a reason to continue waiting......

Lan Zhi suddenly turned around, took a few steps to the desk and took a brush, and roughly stuffed it into Xiao Jianchu's hand: "Use this, don't be verbose!" I don't mind, what more do you mind? 1 166 Reading Network
