As soon as these words came out, Si Yang and Yuan Qiaoqiao looked at Lan Zhi in disbelief. And Lan Zhi turned her back to the two of them, just begging to see Duan Ling.

Duan Ling frowned and looked back. Lan Zhi expected that her sudden intervention must have embarrassed Duan Ling, and she was thinking about whether to invite Duan Ling out and find a reason to persuade her, but she saw Duan Ling walking back to the coffee table, inserting the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and said coldly: "Get out." ”

Si Yang is overjoyed! Hurriedly pulled Yuan Qiaoqiao and fled quickly.

Only Duan Ling and Lan Zhi were left in the room. Duan Ling softened his tone and looked at Lan Zhi: "Okay, now you tell me why you suddenly want to save them." ”

Lan Zhi pondered and said, "Brother, I know you're worried about me, but I'm not okay now." You have frightened them today, and they will not dare to disagree with me again. Besides, although the Si family is weak now, it is a big clan in the end, why do you refuse Si Yang's allegiance? ”

Duan Ling took a deep breath: "Just because of this? Do you think I'll need Jan's service? He looked into Lan Zhi's eyes: "That's right, Si Yang does have some ability, but Ah Zhi, don't look down on yourself like this." Don't say it's Si Yang, whoever wants to hurt you......" He paused for a moment and said slowly: "I want his life." ”

He picked up his saber and didn't return to his waist, killing intent rising again in his eyes. Lan Zhi saw it clearly, and hurriedly said: "Not only because of this, but also because of ......" She thought about it, but couldn't think of a more convincing reason, so she had to say: "More because, Si Yang and I are friends." When I came to the women's barracks, she took good care of me. If you let her and Yuan Qiaoqiao go, it can be regarded as my return to her favor. ”

Duan Ling looked at her without expression, raised his hand for a moment, and knocked on the door of her head: "If it weren't for Si Yang never being friends with women, I would really believe your nonsense." He paused for a moment and suddenly tilted his head: "Ah Zhi doesn't really like women, right?" Do you like Jans? ”

Where did Lan Zhi know that the phrase "friend" would make Duan Ling think of this, and he choked for a while. saw Duan Ling squinting his eyes, and said half-truthfully: "Anyway, I won't allow it in the front." Du Lianxue and Si Yang, no one can. The bloodline of the Nalan royal family cannot be broken with you. ”

When Lan Zhi heard the second half of the sentence, she didn't know what expression to make, so she had to deny it. Duan Ling smiled at this time: "But you're right, today is a good day, let's leave them alone." Didn't you say that you were going to Wuxiang Temple to offer incense? It's getting late, let's go. ”

Lan Zhi hurriedly took a few steps and stopped in front of him: "Brother! You haven't promised me to let them go. ”

She insisted so much, which made Duan Ling laugh: "Ah Zhi, is this trying to force me to stay?" The man looked sad and wrinkled his face: "What if I don't agree?" Are you going to imprison me in your house? ”

Lan Zhi was teased again, blushing slightly, but she didn't hear it: "Actually...... I just can't bear to see the two of them depend on each other for life and death. ”

Duan Ling shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Ah Zhi's heart is too soft." Do you know how many innocent people have been killed by this pair of miserable ducks in your eyes? When Yuan Qiaoqiao poisoned you, did you ever feel unbearable? When Si Yang sent someone to follow you, was he still kind? ”

Lan Zhi couldn't say anything about him, and her voice lowered: "But...... In this troubled world, it is not easy to find someone like them who is sincere and ......"

She felt that these words were even more unconvincing, and when there was nothing she could do, she bowed her head in distress. Duan Ling was silent, and said half-loudly: "Ah Zhi envy them. ”

Lan Zhi shook her head in denial and did not speak. In Duan Ling's eyes, he didn't want to admit it. Duan Ling remembered the man who used Lan Zhi. These days, his people have been watching Yongshan and found some clues, all of which point to the bandits in the Central Plains. Duan Ling didn't know why Lan Zhi believed that man so much, but he always thought that that man would only make Lan Zhi sad in the end.

Think about it that night, she was firm with herself, but she was not confident in her heart, right? Duan Ling thought secretly. She just cares about the old feelings, so even if she has doubts, she also holds the heart that she would rather be burdened by others, but I will not be disappointed.

Tut...... This look is really infuriating. Duan Ling looked at Lan Zhi who was hanging his head, his eyes were gloomy, and he had only one thought in his heart for a while: when he found out that man, he would have to be cut down carefully before he could be relieved.

Lan Zhi was still thinking hard, but she heard Duan Ling sigh softly. The man raised his hand and rubbed her hair, and said softly, "Okay, I won't kill them." For the New Year, you don't want to be unhappy. ”

Lan Zhi got this guarantee, and she was finally relieved. At the end of the hour (9 o'clock), the two set off towards the Wuxiang Temple. When passing through the suburbs of the city, the spring festival happened to end, and the city guard of Haotian City made people carry out the paper-tied spring ox. An old man held a leather whip and volleyed two whips on the spring ox, and the third whip was hitting the spring ox and breaking the spring ox.

There was a cheer from the crowd. The dried fruit in the tripe fell to the ground, and the children rushed to grab it. Lan Zhi had never seen this custom in the Central Plains Kingdom, so she looked at it twice, but listened to Duan Ling explain beside her: "This is the whip spring, which is intended to encourage farming. The climate in the Ugen country is not good, and it is believed that whip spring can drive away disasters and obtain a good harvest. In the belly of the paper cow are peanuts, walnuts, dried oranges, dates. He looked at Lan Zhi and asked, "What kind of dried fruit is in the spring cow in Ah Zhi's hometown?" ”

Lan Zhi was listening easily, but at this time, she was immediately alert and replied: "My father and I have been living in the mountains all the time, and we won't go out even during the Chinese New Year, so I don't know what the customs of Yongshan are. ”

Duan Ling smiled lightly and looked away. Lan Zhi was still staring at him, a little resentful in her heart.

When she didn't know Duan Ling's identity at the beginning, she was very vigilant in her heart, and although she occasionally expressed inappropriateness, she never showed her feet. Later, after learning about the relationship between the two, he unconsciously relaxed his vigilance when facing Duan Ling, but unexpectedly, this person seized the opportunity and dug out many flaws in her.

Lan Zhi sometimes felt that Duan Ling might have determined that her identity was made up. However, this person did not pierce the window paper, did not have a showdown with her and asked her about the purpose of coming to Haotian City, but pretended to know nothing and got along with her intimately, but took advantage of her unpreparedness to spy on her from time to time.

- How cunning.

- The Chinese New Year is not easy for a moment, it is really excessive.

Lan Zhi lowered her head and moved forward sullenly. Duan Ling paused and stood sideways: "What's the matter, angry?" ”

Lan Zhi shook her head. Duan Ling suddenly grabbed her hand. Lan Zhi stopped following his strength, and saw a group of children frolicking in front of her. Duan Ling's gentle palm wrapped her hand, and her tone was helpless and doting: "I still said that I was not angry, so I didn't look at the road." ”

There were many people on the street, Lan Zhi was embarrassed, and she struggled and wanted to pull out her hand. Duan Ling held her hand and didn't let go: "Okay, okay," he also knew Lan Zhi's psychology, and coaxed softly: "Today is special, I promise to only take you to eat, drink and play, and never ask much about the rest, okay?" ”

It's weird. Lan Zhi secretly slandered herself and muttered, "I don't believe you." ”

- If you really believe him, I'm afraid that today, her old bottom will be stripped naked by him.

Duan Ling looked at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed and let go of her hand: "Seeing you so vigilant, I feel a little relieved." ”

Wuxiang Temple is located on the outskirts of the city. The two of them went out of the city and walked along the mountain road, and Lan Zhi finally asked the question that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Brother, I heard that if you want to enter the Tiger Weiwei Heavenly Prison, you must have a warrant from you or Xiang Zheng's envoy?" ”

Duan Ling said "um": "What?" Ah Zhi wants to go to the prison? ”

Lan Zhi nodded: "Can you give me a warrant and let me go into the prison to check a few people." ”

Duan Ling became interested: "What person?" ”

Since Lan Zhi opened her mouth, she didn't intend to hide it from him: "It's a dozen or so soldiers guarding the city." They killed Du Lianxue's family, and Du Lianxue said that they were imprisoned in the prison of Hu Weiwei, and I wanted to help her inquire about it. ”

Finding out the news of the enemy in the prison was the purpose of Du Lianxue's visit to Huweiwei last night. After a night, she told Lan Zhi many things, but she didn't ask Lan Zhi for help. Ke Lan Zhi was inexplicably close to her because of the similarity between the two, and felt that since she was in Huweiwei and Duan Ling, the deputy envoy's brother, it was just a gesture to help her check, so she asked Duan Ling today.

Duan Ling raised his eyebrows slightly: "You said those twelve people." He glanced at Lan Zhi: "You don't have to check, they are all dead." ”

"All dead?" Lan Zhi was a little incredulous, but she quickly reacted and frowned: "How can my brother be so clear?" Don't...... You killed people? ”

Duan Ling tilted his head: "What do you say?" ”

That's it. After being surprised, Lan Zhi lowered her voice: "Why did my brother kill them?" ”

Duan Ling said in a calm tone: "Didn't you cut down five trees in order to save Du Lianxue?" I happened to see the pale blue cold light on the stump, and knew that the person who cut the tree must have something to do with you, so I took someone to check it out, and found out the twelve soldiers. ”

"They know that I am secretly looking for you, and if they are left behind, there is no guarantee that they will not leak your news." Speaking of this, the man turned his head to look at Lan Zhi, and his light brown eyes smiled: "So, I will eliminate the harm for the people." ”

He said that he would eliminate harm for the people, but Lan Zhi knew that Duan Ling did this because he was afraid that those soldiers would leak her mouth and tell her about her existence. Lan Zhi recalled what Duan Ling told her in the snow that night: "It was your father's sword, and besides me, there were other people who recognized it." I don't want him to know who you are......"

At that time, she was carried by Duan Ling, and she only cared about her own feelings, and she didn't think much about it, but now she was aroused by Duan Ling's words: Duan Ling was afraid that her identity would be revealed, what was she worried about? Could it be that the Nalan family still has some secrets? The person who could make Duan Ling so careful to be on guard must be more powerful than him, and Ten** also knew his true identity. Lan Zhi reasoned several times, but couldn't guess why, and finally asked, "Who is my brother watching out for?" ”
