Chapter 28: Crisis (3)
Duan Ling blinked: "I didn't kill it." ”
Lan Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Duan Ling take another sip of wine, he added slowly: "I sent someone to kill him." ”
Lan Zhi: "......"
Lan Zhi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But everyone was already dead, and she was the first to deceive, so she felt that she was not qualified to blame Duan Ling, so she just said in a low voice: "Brother doesn't keep his promise." ”
Duan Ling looked straight ahead: "Your will and your life, I just made a choice between the two, that's all." ”
There seems to be no room for refutation. Ke Lanzhi thought about it, but found a loophole: "If you don't kill Yuan Qiaoqiao, I can also protect myself." ”
Duan Ling smiled. He shook his head and said, "Ah Zhi, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that I've experienced too many variables in my life, and I know that the safest way to protect myself is to nip all dangers in the bud. ”
He mentioned that in the past, Lan Zhi was not good at fighting with him again. She has been thinking about Ren Yuanbai's entrustment recently, and she had originally considered asking Duan Ling bluntly, but now it seems that it will definitely not work. According to Duan Ling's nature, he will definitely treat Yuan Qiaoqiao and Zhongyuan Changgong like he treated, and he will not hesitate to nip the danger of Ren Yuanbai in the bud.
So, she still has to steal from him...... But she didn't even know where Duan Ling put the token. If she had stayed in the women's barracks, she would not have had access to exact information, and there would have been no talk of stealing.
- She must have a legitimate opportunity to approach Duan Ling.
Lan Zhi felt guilty in her heart, but she had no other choice, so she finally spoke: "Si Yang also specially thanked me that day, saying that he would repay me in the future." She sighed, "I don't want to see her anymore." But I still live next door to her......"
Duan Ling actually wanted to transfer Lan Zhi away from Si Yang's side, and was about to agree when he heard this, but saw Lan Zhi looking at him: "Brother, it's okay if I don't stay in the women's barracks?" She lowered her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Is there any suitable position around you that can transfer me?" ”
Duan Ling's words came to his lips, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart. In his opinion, even if Lan Zhi didn't want to face Si Yang and wanted to leave the women's barracks, she didn't have to come to her side. Now with such a clear request, it is obvious that he wants to be closer to himself.
It seems that his marriage proposal is not abrupt, Duan Ling thought secretly. He wanted to tease Lan Zhi a few words, but it could be seen that her eyebrows were lowered, and she seemed to be a little shy, so she didn't dare to scare people away with any more mouths, so she just smiled and said: "Although there is no precedent, since it is your request, I will transfer you to my right guard." He thought for a moment: "Well, there is a small flag around me that is missing to organize paperwork, so it is better for you to take care of it." This is a good errand for many people to break their heads, and you have to show it well. ”
However, he said that after Du Lianxue received the dragon and phoenix Gu sent by Duan Ling's subordinates, she sat silently in the room for a long time, got up and walked through the secret door, and went to find Ren Yuanbai.
Ren Yuanbai picked out the small insects in the altar, looked at them over and over again, and looked up after a long time: "This is indeed a dragon and phoenix Gu." He put the worm back into the altar: "I thought this thing was just a strange story in an ancient book, but I didn't expect someone to really be able to cultivate it." It's a pity that it hasn't grown yet. ”
When Du Lianxue heard this, she lowered her eyes and asked, "Does the leader know what will happen if an ungrown Gu worm is planted into the human body?" ”
Ren Yuanbai thought for a while: "This insect likes to eat male yang energy, and the adult insect will sleep and lie dormant when it is planted in the woman's body, and if it feels a man, it will absorb it by itself, and go retrograde along the male meridians, and finally break through the heart and kill the person." If it's a larvae...... I'm afraid I don't have this lethal ability. ”
"That's harmless to women." Du Lianxue was silent for a moment: "Does the leader know how to grow Gu?" ”
Ren Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, and frowned for a moment: "Ah Xue wants to take this Gu seed to herself?" He shook his head and said disapprovingly, "I still don't want to." This is just my speculation, and there is no record of it in the ancient books. She won't let you risk it. ”
Du Lianxue chuckled lowly: "She won't let her." She sighed: "But it's a pity that such a good opportunity was wasted, so it's better to let me give it a try." She saved my life, and I couldn't repay it, and I didn't do anything for her, and I felt uneasy. ”
Ren Yuanbai still objected: "To repay her kindness, you can find another opportunity in the future." ”
Du Lianxue looked directly at him: "Is there a chance in the future?" Don't you say it, chief, that one day you will lose your life. If I don't repay my kindness, my father and mother Jiuquan will know it, and they will blame me. ”
Ren Yuanbai looked back, and finally sighed in the middle of the sound: "Have you thought about it?" ”
Lan Zhi didn't know about Du Lianxue's decision. The next day, Duan Ling promoted her to a small flag and transferred her to the right military guard. As Xiaoqi, she has ten lieutenants. Duan Ling led her to the ten people, and said to her with a smile: "Ah Zhi, these ten people have just joined the Tiger Guard, if they don't understand the rules, you can teach them." ”
Lan Zhi thought silently: How can the people you selected not understand the rules? saw ten people standing casually, some smiling and saluting her, some looking at her nervously, and some bowing their heads at her with expressionless faces, but Duan Ling didn't say a word about this messy response. I just felt strange in my heart.
Duan Ling left later. Lan Zhi's gaze swept over the ten people, and finally landed on the middle-aged man who was farthest away from her.
The man had an ordinary face, a short stature, and a pair of flying claws hanging from his waist, looking nothing peculiar, but Lan Zhi felt nervous inexplicably. She raised her hand and said, "That person, come here." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at her, and sure enough, he walked in front of her. Lan Zhi asked, "What's your name?" ”
The man replied with a blank face: "Tong Gao." ”
Lan Zhi asked again: "Which military camp was there before joining the Tiger Weiwei?" ”
This time, Tong Gao thought for a while: "The right post of the Jingying Army." ”
Lan Zhi: "Position? ”
Tong Gao: "No. ”
Lan Zhi: "Why did Lord Duan transfer you to Huweiwei?" ”
Tong Gao: "I don't know. ”
Lan Zhi let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more, but turned to everyone: "I don't have anything to teach you." She glanced at Tong Gao: "Xiaoqi what, it's just a name, I'm also running errands under Lord Duan's account, everyone is with the army, it's okay in the future, it's best not to see me again." ”
This was a little inexplicable, but the ten people present actually responded. Lan Zhi then went to Duan Ling's tent. As soon as she reached the door of the tent, a hand was stretched out to block her way. Ren Qianhu still had a cold face: "Lan Zhi, Master Duan asked me to take you elsewhere." ”
Lan Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "Aren't I responsible for helping adults sort out the paperwork?" ”
Ren Qianhu pulled the corners of his mouth without smiling: "Yes." Since it is to organize the paperwork, it is natural to go to a quieter place. ”
Ren Qianhu took Lan Zhi towards the outskirts of the military camp. Several large tents surrounded the military camp, and among the large tents, there was a brand new small tent standing in the corner, which seemed to have just been set up, and looked incompatible with the military camp. Ren Qianhu led Lan Zhi outside the small tent and stopped: "From now on, this is where you work." There are documents on the table, and after you read them, summarize and classify them, and list the entries to be handed over to the adults. ”
Lan Zhi lifted the curtain. The tent is simply furnished, with a single desk, a chair, and a bookcase. There was a pile of documents on the table, Lan Zhi sat down at the table, opened the first book, and saw it: "Liu Weiyong, the head of the household department, had an affair with a woman surnamed Wang in the neighborhood, causing her to become pregnant, and she didn't dare to marry because of fear." On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Weiyong took advantage of his wife to return to his hometown and province, and carried a woman surnamed Wang into the house, but his wife found out. The wife turned back halfway, made a big wedding banquet, slapped Liu Weiyong, and drove the Wang family out of the house, and everyone present dared not speak......"
Lan Zhi finished reading this document, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She knew that in addition to guarding the imperial city, Huweiwei also had the position of spying on intelligence, so she was not surprised to see such gossip, so she opened the second document again, but saw the book: "Eunuch Liu Zhongli, the famous dog lover is well known." Since it has been favored by the saint, every festival, there are countless dog offerings. Du Weihua, the governor of the Dujing Command Envoy Division, called Liu Zhongli's beloved dog his brother, caring everywhere, and doing everything he could to welcome him......"
Lan Zhi: "......"
Lan Zhi continued to read a few more books, and the content turned out to be the parents of court officials. Everything is supervised by the golden Buddha of the old father-in-law, and the son of the prefect is molesting the young woman, but all living beings are in a hundred ways.
Lan Zhi silently picked up the pen and paper on the table, began to register, and secretly said in her heart: This is a painstaking selection...... The gossip of the entire Haotian City is here, why doesn't my brother simply prepare some novels for her?
After looking at it like this for more than half an hour, she rarely found a document on the deployment of troops, which stated that in April this year, Yuyuan would mobilize 200,000 troops to use troops against bandits in the Central Plains. Lan Zhi took this document silently, and did not register it, but just threw it aside.
In the middle of the day (10 o'clock), she finally sorted out all the paperwork. The rest of the time was fine, she walked to the bookcase, swept away, and saw "Jade Butterfly" and "Amorous Liu Xiaoxian......
- It turned out that Duan Ling had really prepared a script for her.
Lan Zhixing walked out of the camp tent and walked towards the small hillside outside the barracks. When she reached an open place, she stopped and called out loudly, "Tong Gao." ”
A moment later, Tong Gao walked out from behind a tree not far away. Lan Zhi actually only knew that someone was following, but she wasn't sure who the person who was following her was, and calling this "Tong Gao" was just a temptation, but she didn't expect to be hit by her. She drew her sword out of its sheath, the tip of the sword drooped obliquely, her eyelashes drooped obliquely, and her voice was flat: "It's okay to do, let's fight." ”
Tong Gao stood silent for a moment and turned around. Lan Zhi thought that he didn't want to do anything with him, but saw him walk under the tree on the side, pick up a branch, and hold it as a weapon in his hand.
Lan Zhi shook her head: "With the flying claws, I rarely encounter this kind of weapon. ”
Tong Gao stood silent for a moment, threw away the branch, and picked up two stones. He took off the iron claws of the flying claw, stuffed them into his arms, and tied the stones to the ends of the rope, and then carried the two stones and posed in a gesture, looking at Lan Zhi.
Lan Zhi: "......"
When Duan Ling arrived, Lan Zhi knocked Tong Gao's stone away for the third time. Duan Ling stood still beside him, patted the horse and flattered: "Ah Zhi is good at swordsmanship." ”
Lan Zhi stopped attacking: "If he is willing to use iron claws, I am not his opponent. ”
Duan Ling didn't comment, just smiled and asked, "Do you want to continue fighting, or do you want to go to dinner?" ”
Lan Zhi put the sword back into its sheath: "Eat." ”
Tong Gao nodded towards Duan Ling and left first. Duan Ling put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the barracks with Lan Zhi as he asked, "Are you still used to having the morning?" ”
Lan Zhi replied: "It's good. The paperwork is very interesting, and the ten people are also very sensible. ”
Duan Ling's smile grew. Lan Zhi glanced at him, but said again: "It's just too troublesome brother." Not to mention that a tent was built for me alone, but also transferred irrelevant people into the tiger and forged documents, aren't you afraid of being caught by someone with a heart? ”
Duan Ling's expression remained unchanged, but he stopped and looked back with a smile: "Oh, how can Ah Zhi say this?" ”
