said that Lan Zhi returned to the women's barracks and unexpectedly saw Si Yang. The woman greeted her as usual, and asked her where she had gone and who she had met this time, and her attitude was kind.

Lan Zhi knew that Si Yang must have gotten the news. She knew that her people had lost Lan Zhi, and she also knew that Lan Zhi had found out that her people were following, but she was just pretending to be stupid. She negotiated head-on, Lan Zhi didn't poke it, and answered lightly to avoid the serious, and perfunctory. Si Yang didn't have real evidence, and he couldn't find out anything, so he had to give up.

In the evening, the sky began to fall with goose feathers. After nightfall, the courtyard of the women's barracks was white. Lan Zhi grew up in the south, and rarely saw such a big snow, so she couldn't help but go out to watch. She walked in the snow, watching her footprints imprint on the flat snow one by one, and felt calm, but she saw a person coming from afar.

The one who came turned out to be Ren Qianhu. He stopped in front of Lan Zhi: "Lan Zhi, Lord Duan asked you to go to his mansion." ”

Lan Zhi was stunned: "Now?" ”

Ren Qianhu obviously still didn't want to see her, and at this time he turned his head coldly and arrogantly: "Yes." Duan Mansion is waiting for you at the gate of Huweiwei, you hurry up. He didn't stay long, turned and left.

The people who connected to her were all sent. Lan Zhi had no choice but to go. Sure enough, there was a carriage parked at the door of Huweiwei, Lan Zhi got into the carriage, and after about two quarters of an hour, she arrived at Duanfu. The butler greeted her at the door, and took her around and into a courtyard.

As soon as Lan Zhishi entered the room, she noticed a warm moisture in the room. She glanced around and saw that the room was elegantly and simply, but it didn't look like a lobby for picking up guests, but it was ...... More like a bedroom. The doubts in her heart gradually rose, but she saw the butler bow to her: "Girl, wait first, Master Duan will bathe in the back, and I will arrive later." ”

Lan Zhi's face immediately froze: Mu ...... Bath?

It turned out that the moisture she felt in the house was the water vapor generated by Duan Ling when she bathed?

So, this house is really Duan Ling's bedroom?

She thought that he was in such a hurry to find her, there was something important! In the middle of the night, he summoned her to his bedroom, and he went to bathe......

- He...... What the hell does he want to do?!

The answer was about to come out, but Lan Zhi still didn't give up, and asked, "Is Lord Duan used to bathing at this time on weekdays?" ”

The butler shook his head: "No." Master Duan said, he misses you. ”

This may seem like the wrong answer, but the answer is clear. With this sentence, and with this scene, Duan Ling's purpose ...... Even a fool can guess!

When the housekeeper said this, he didn't care about Lan Zhi anymore, bowed down and retreated, and didn't forget to close the door before leaving. There was suddenly no sound in the room, only the faint and faint sound of water remained, reminding Lan Zhi of her situation.

Lan Zhi's body stiffened for a moment, and she quickly made a decision: she couldn't stay here. Rather than wait for Duan Ling to clash head-on after he came out, it was better to flee as quickly as possible. The housekeeper was standing outside the courtyard, and she could claim that she remembered that there was an urgent matter that she had to deal with immediately. Tomorrow, she will pick a suitable time to pretend to be stupid and make amends to Duan Ling. As long as it is handled properly, I believe that Duan Ling will not be furious.

The train of thought was decided, Lan Zhi turned around without hesitation and walked towards the door of the house. Yu Guang inadvertently caught a glimpse of something on the coffee table on the side, and his footsteps stopped instantly.

――On the coffee table in Duan Ling's bedroom, there was a familiar little sachet!!

Lan Zhi turned her head to look at the back of the house, and saw that Duan Ling hadn't come out yet, so she walked to the coffee table a few times. She picked up the small sachet and took a closer look: the appearance was exactly the same as the small sachet made by the Central Plains. Lan Zhi opened it and saw that it was empty, and there was nothing. When I picked it up and put it on the tip of my nose and sniffed it, I smelled the sandalwood that is unique to the temple.

Lan Zhi's heart sank: the same sachet appeared here, empty and stained with temple sandalwood - this could not be just a coincidence. This little sachet, ten* is what she threw on the linden tree today.

But why did the things she threw on the Bodhi Tree appear here at Duan Ling?! What about the note inside? And where did it go?

Lan Zhi pursed her lips, her mind racing. A man's voice suddenly sounded behind his ears, deep and dark: "What? Lan Zhi likes this sachet? ”

Lan Zhi was so shocked that her breathing stopped instantly! She didn't hear any sound at all, but when did Duan Ling come behind her?!

- When she was by Xiao Jianchu's side, she had learned the art of anti-tracking and was good at discovering the hidden human aura. But if the person who was following her today was Duan Ling, she would definitely not be able to detect it!

As soon as this thought came out, the chaotic thoughts in Lan Zhi's mind finally became clear: on the day of the prison, Duan Ling was still suspicious of her. So he followed her. Today's deeds, I am afraid that not a drop will fall into the eyes of this man......

- But no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't see the sachet when she was hiding in the latrine, and how could he find it from the tree? Don't...... Is something wrong with the people on the other side of the Wuxiang Temple? Did he see the note? Have you discovered the secret of the note again? Did he regard her as a comrade? What did he want to call her to his house tonight? ……

Duan Ling leaned very close to her. After the man bathed, the hot flashes around her body did not dissipate, and the breath was like water vapor warm, gently hitting her neck. Lan Zhi involuntarily tensed her body. She was confined between the table and Duan Ling's chest, and she could touch the man's □□ shoulder with her head slightly tilted. The air seemed to have stopped flowing, and the invisible pressure forced Lan Zhi not to move lightly.

Countless questions flashed through Lan Zhi's mind, but they were finally fixed into a clearer thought:

- This ...... She couldn't escape if she wanted to!

Duan Ling lowered his head and looked at the stiff neck of the woman in front of him, and finally felt that his mood was lighter after a heavy night. Obviously, Lan Zhi knew what was at stake, and was nervous because of it. He admits that he deliberately scared her, but he doesn't think he is too much, after all, what she is doing today is really dangerous.

Since returning from the prison, Duan Ling has had conjectures about Lan Zhi's unspeakable secrets, but she will have something to do with the Central Plains Finesse, but it is the worst possibility that Duan Ling can think of.

How cruel Yu Yuanguo was to the meticulous methods, Duan Ling, as the deputy envoy of the Tiger Weiwei, could not be more clear. Today's matter was suppressed by him, which is really a fluke. He ordered his henchmen to kill the person who answered on the spot, and did not allow him to be brought back to the prison for torture, because he was afraid that Lan Zhi would be implicated.

But he only saved her once. In the future, Lan Zhi continued to act so risky, if he was found out about his identity, he would not be able to protect her!

Duan Ling didn't know why Lan Zhi was getting involved with the people of the Central Plains, but he would never allow today's incident to happen again. He planned to talk to Lan Zhi openly and honestly, at least to find out Lan Zhi's thoughts, so that he could prescribe the right medicine. It's just that this girl is very defensive and doesn't trust him. But he didn't dare to wait any longer. In order to gain her trust, he still decided to tell Lan Zhi about her life experience and the relationship between the two of them. That's why he's looking for her today.

After the initial panic and nervousness, Lan Zhi calmed down. Duan Ling did not throw her into the heavenly prison, but summoned her to the mansion, which showed that he did not plan to deal with her for the time being. She stood upright, just motionless, just waiting for Duan Ling to swing out her chips. But I felt that the man took a step back and pulled away.

The invisible coercion disappeared in an instant. Lan Zhi didn't know why, so she slowly turned around, and saw Duan Ling standing in front of her with only a pair of trousers and a thin upper body.

The man has a good figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and smooth muscle lines. The dark silk cloth wraps around the slender legs, and there is a faint sense of sophistication. Lan Zhi only glanced at it, then lowered her head and lowered her eyes, standing respectfully and solemnly.

Duan Ling chuckled, but said three words undoubtedly: "Raise your head." ”

Heads up? What the hell does he want to do? Lan Zhi had no bottom in her heart, but she couldn't, so she had to raise her head again.

Duan Ling didn't see the slightest displeasure on his face, smiled warmly at her, and turned around. He turned his back to her, put his wet hair on the top of his head, and said softly, "Lan Zhi, look." ”

Without the long hair that blocked her vision, Lan Zhi finally saw that on Duan Ling's back shoulder, there was an orchid that was exactly the same as her. The orchid was even smaller, occupying only half of Duan Ling's shoulders. The color was not as vermilion as hers, but a pale black-gray. And it's not an innate birthmark, but a branded one, with some old scars.

For a while, Lan Zhi's calculations and vigilance dissipated. She was stunned for a moment, and when she walked behind Duan Ling, she unconsciously raised her hand to touch the flower. When the warm fingertips touched the slightly cool skin, Lan Zhi reacted and quickly withdrew her hand, but the man in front of her turned to her and smiled slowly.

That smile was unexpectedly warm and spoiled. Lan Zhi was at a loss by that smile, took two steps back and stood up, lowered her head for a moment and said, "Lord Duan...... Why do you have that orchid on you? ”

Duan Lingxing went to the side, took the clean clothes on the small couch and put them on: "This is not an orchid, but a Yin Luo flower, it is said that it grows in the extreme north and can bloom in ten years, it is an elixir given by the gods." ”

Lan Zhi listened, and finally raised her eyes to look at him. But Duan Ling put on his coat, but he didn't continue, but stretched out his hand to Lan Zhi: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet...... Our origins. ”
