Chapter 5: Joining the Army (2)

Deputy Envoy Duan sat behind the desk, his eyelashes lowered slightly, and he was looking through the pile of materials on the table, and he didn't look up when Lan Zhi came in. There was no one else in the tent, Lan Zhi hesitated for a moment, knelt down and said, "My lord, you look for me." ”

Deputy Envoy Duan finally glanced at her: "Lan Zhi? ”

Lan Zhi bowed her head: "Exactly." ”

Deputy Envoy Duan lowered his eyes again. The man's slender fingers gently picked up and slowly turned a page of paper: "You are a strange person. During the test, he didn't even dare to cut a dead person, how could he dare to attack a big living person? ”

Lan Zhi thought about dealing with it, and at this time, she replied with a blank look: "My lord, Captain Wu wants to insult me, and I have no choice but to make a move." ”

Deputy Duan paused his fingertips and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Indecent? He hooked the corners of his mouth: "When did a hunter's daughter speak in such a literary manner?" ”

Lan Zhi was shocked in her heart! She grew up in the imperial capital of the Central Plains since she was a child, and some wording habits have taken root in the bone marrow and cannot be changed lightly, but she didn't expect that the kung fu of a sentence was actually caught by this deputy envoy. It seems that if this deputy envoy is not already suspicious of her, he must have always been vigilant.

Lan Zhi was pretended to be stunned: "When I lived in Yongshan before, I had a lot of contacts with the people of the Central Plains, and when I saw that they all talked like this, I learned it, but I didn't know that this was Wen Crepe." ”

Deputy Envoy Duan recalled for a moment: "Yongshan...... It is indeed the junction of the Yuyuan Kingdom and the Central Plains Kingdom. He nodded slowly: "Central Plains, good place." It's a state of etiquette. ”

This is not a question, Lan Zhi let him talk to himself, and did not pick up. But seeing Deputy Envoy Duan looking at her, he smiled: "I heard that there are a lot of jackals in Yongshan, you are a hunter, and your life should be better, right?" ”

This seemed to be a matter of concern and inquiry, but Lan Zhi looked at Deputy Envoy Duan and saw that although the man had a smile on his face, his eyes were still cold, and the smile was not as good as the bottom of his eyes.

Lan Zhi was inexplicably overwhelmed. In Xiao Jianchu's letter, she had introduced the situation of Yongshan in detail for her, and Lan Zhi thought that he was doing this too much, but now it seems that she is not as thoughtful as Xiao Jianchu.

Lan Zhi said quietly: "My lord may have misremembered. There are no jackals in Yongshan, but there are tigers and leopards. When my father was alive, I hunted with him, and I could barely get by. But after my father passed away, it was hard for me to hunt tigers and leopards alone, and it was not easy to make a living. ”

Deputy Envoy Duan bowed his head again, and then he no longer tested her, and changed to a businesslike attitude: "I am Duan Ling, Deputy Envoy of Huweiwei, and I came to the barracks today to be responsible for the training of the recruits. If you are fighting and hurting someone, I will have to deal with it. ”

He explained to her with a friendly expression, Lan Zhi had to understand the rules more peacefully, and lowered her eyebrows: "Listen to Lord Duan's punishment." ”

Duan Ling pondered for a moment: "You are a girl, and I will not beat you with military law." Strip you of your military membership and send you out of the barracks on the same day. ”

Lan Zhi looked up suddenly: This person ...... They wanted to drive her out of the army!

She was not afraid of being beaten by military law, but she cared about whether she could stay in the barracks, so she hurriedly said: "Lord Duan, the person who took the initiative to provoke trouble is the army commander, I am just forced to fight back, and I will not be sent out of the barracks!" ”

Duan Ling and his faction comforted peacefully: "I know. Wu Chang was also expelled from the army, and this time, it is estimated that he has been sent back to his home. ”

Lan Zhi said secretly: If the beard and hand are broken, it is reconnected to recuperate from the injury, and there will be no way to use force in the future, how can it be possible to stay in the barracks again! Sending him home was a reasonable thing, how could it be compared to her being kicked out of the barracks!

Lan Zhi argued: "Lord Duan, you should have heard about what happened last night. In that case, should I sit back and let him be humiliated? ”

Duan Ling originally lowered his head to look at the documents on the table from time to time, but when he heard this, he finally put down the documents and looked at Lan Zhi, and asked calmly: "Since you came to join the army, didn't you expect that this kind of thing would happen?" ”

Lan Zhi was dumbfounded for a moment. In the barracks, they couldn't bring their families, and the men were panicked and restless. She did guess that something like this might happen, but she thought there would be a way to deal with it, and she didn't take it to heart. Now that she is mentioned by Duan Ling, it seems that she doesn't know the severity.

Speaking of this, Duan Ling didn't seem to want to do any more superficial work, and said in a leisurely voice: "There are indeed some women in the barracks, but they can stay because they have found their own ways of survival and are at peace with men. There's nothing wrong with you cherishing your body, but you're so good-looking, and you don't want to be wronged, and you don't know how much trouble you'll cause when you stay in the barracks in the future. He said decisively: "For the sake of peace in the army, I can't keep you." Now go back and clean up. ”

Lan Zhi didn't expect him to mention the level of stability in the army, and he couldn't refute it at all. She was silent for a moment, bowed her head and said earnestly: "Lord Duan has seen far-reaching, but I didn't think about it. It's just that joining the army was my late father's last wish, and it was also my lifelong dream. I am willing to lead the army, I just ask Lord Duan to give me another chance, I ...... I'm sure I'll find a way to be at peace with men. ”

Duan Ling just smiled at her. The man's tone was soft, but he left no room for words: "If you want to change your personality concept, how easy is it to talk about, why should you embarrass yourself?" If you leave earlier, you can go somewhere else earlier and make a good living. He called, "Come!" ”

Then a soldier entered the camp tent and saluted Duan Ling. Duan Ling instructed: "Take Miss Lan Zhi back to the camp tent and send her out of the camp before the hour." ”

After saying this, he stopped caring about Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi looked at the soldiers waiting beside her, so she could only get up and leave with the soldiers.

Lan Zhi walked slowly on the road, her steps heavy and her mind heavy.

There's no way she's going to leave. If he didn't have the identity of a soldier, there was no hope of approaching Xiang Jinxiu. She had to stay in the barracks.

How can I stay? Now that the recruits are returning to Duan Ling's training, he has already spoken, ordering her to leave before the hour, how can she change his mind?

The words that Duan Ling said were replayed in Lan Zhi's mind one by one, and Lan Zhi's face became more and more solemn. This person seems to be reasonable, but in fact he has his own set of truths, which seems to be reasonable, but in fact he is cold and ruthless. To deal with this kind of person, it is useless to know that she is reasonable, and if she wants to achieve her goal, she can only ...... Tempting to take advantage.

But what benefits can she, a young soldier who has just enlisted in the army, bring to Deputy Envoy Duan of Hu Weiwei?

…………

Lan Zhi pondered for a while, and didn't notice that the two outsiders in the barracks had come. One of them was a soldier defending the city who was chasing and killing the girl, and the other was a captain of Tiger Weiwei.

Yesterday, Duan Ling ordered the captain and the soldiers to work in groups of two, and the soldiers were divided into 12 ways to search for Lan Zhi's whereabouts. But the night passed, but nothing was found. The people couldn't, so they had to come and report it.

The captain walked to the gate of the barracks and instructed the soldiers: "You wait here, I will go and ask Master Duan what to do next." ”

The soldier straightened his eyes, stared into the distance, and pointed to Lan Zhi's back for a moment and said, "That, that person!" The man! ”

The captain frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier finally got his words right: "That woman! The person that Lord Duan is looking for is her!! ”

Inside the tent. Duan Ling frowned slightly when he heard the captain's report: "...... It turned out to be her. ”

He pondered for a moment and called, "Someone! ”

There were soldiers marching into the tents. Duan Ling commanded: "The girl who just went out from here shouldn't have left the barracks yet. Go now, and let her come to me again. ”

The soldier received the order and was about to retire, but he heard a commotion outside the camp. In a moment, a female voice sounded clearly: "Lord Duan! Lan Zhi still has a few words to say, please see me! ”

Duan Ling was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "I also said that I would let people go to her, but she came by herself." He waved his hand: "That's it, you all go down, don't say more, just let her in." ”

Lan Zhi was put into the camp tent like this. Seeing Duan Ling again, the man was still sitting behind the desk, but Lan Zhi felt that he was a little different: he didn't hold the paperwork in his hand as he did when they met last time, but sat up straight and looked at her, with a shallow light in his eyes. This made Lan Zhi inexplicably feel that this Lord Duan actually had expectations for her return. That's good, as long as he has expectations, she has hope.

Lan Zhi no longer knelt down, just stood upright and said, "My lord, your concern is reasonable, but it is not without a solution. ”

Duan Ling looked at Lan Zhi carefully without moving, and then followed her words and asked, "How to solve it?" ”

Lan Zhi said in a deep voice: "Yuyuan Kingdom has always put the strong first, and if a woman wants to survive in the military camp without causing disputes among the people, the way is nothing more than relying on the strong. Lan Zhi's refusal to obey the man last night was not inflexible. It's just that everything has a price, and my price, that man can't afford it. She paused for a moment and raised her head to meet Duan Ling's eyes: "But Lan Zhi is 10,000 surrenders to Lord Duan. So, Lan Zhi begged Master Duan to do me a favor. ”

A person as clear as Duan Ling understood what she meant, but he just wanted to look at her and not react, just see how she said what she thought in her heart. Sure enough, Lan Zhi saw that he didn't answer, so she had to avoid his gaze, tilted her head slightly, and said, "If the adult can claim to the outside world...... I am your woman, and the men in the army will be convinced, and they will get along with each other from now on. ”

When the woman looked away, the confusion in her eyes was faintly visible. The corners of Duan Ling's mouth hooked an arc: "I don't lack women, why do I want to help you with this." ”

Lan Zhi quickly disguised her feelings: "Adults may not lack ordinary women, but they must lack me like this...... A woman who is well-born, has high martial arts, and has no support. She raised her right hand, placed it on her chest, and made a Yuyuan people's allegiance salute: "If your lord helps me now, in the future, I will only look forward to my lord's horse." ”

These words are not Lan Zhi's sincerity, but they have been carefully considered and said very sincerely. Duan Ling, as the deputy envoy of Hu Weiwei, surrendered to him to express his allegiance, which was a good choice for Lan Zhi. Moreover, her primary goal now is to stay in the barracks, if Duan Ling gives her a problem in the future, she can wait for something to happen before thinking about it.

Duan Ling raised his eyebrows. This move was unexpected. If Lan Zhi was an ordinary person, he would definitely push the boat down the river and bring her under his command. According to her capital ability, she will indeed be a capable subordinate in the future. But this person may be the girl he has been looking for for a long time......

Duan Ling got up and walked to the center of the tent: "You said that you are high in martial arts?" The man drew the sword at his waist, his eyes sharpened for a moment: "Draw the sword, prove it to me." ”

There is hope! Lan Zhi's spirit was lifted, and she immediately drew her sword out of the sheath, solemnly concentrating. She had seen Duan Ling's kung fu and didn't dare to underestimate it, and the sword felt the master's battle intent and buzzed.

Duan Ling squinted at the sword in Lan Zhi's hand, and praised gently, "Good sword." He looked at Lan Zhi again and said, "Don't destroy the things in this tent." ”

What answered him was Lan Zhi's rapid sprint!

Duan Ling said that he couldn't destroy things, so Lan Zhi didn't dare to use his sword qi, so he could only fight him with basic moves. Fortunately, otherwise, it would have been based on Duan Ling's skill...... Lan Zhi is afraid that she has already lost a few times.

Rao is like this, after a few rounds, Lan Zhi also felt struggling. But in order to prove herself, in order to stay in the barracks, she played a twelve-point spiritual support. After playing for about two pillars of incense in this way, between close attack and defense, Duan Ling grabbed one of Lan Zhi's omissions and flashed behind Lan Zhi by mistake.

Lan Zhi wanted to turn around, but felt a strong wind behind her head, so she had to rush forward! But I still can't dodge it! She heard the screeching sound of metal tearing, and then there was a chill behind her!

She wasn't hurt, but the armor she was wearing was cut off, split in two from behind, and fell to the ground! Not only the iron armor, but even the underwear she wears closely...... It was also torn apart by the sword blade!

Immediately the clothes fell apart. Lan Zhi paused in her footsteps and gasped for breath, unable to believe that Duan Ling's control of sword qi was so precise. She was still in shock when a hand landed on her bare back. The man's fingers are slightly cool and have thin calluses. Duan Ling didn't know when he was already standing behind her. His fingertips stroked her back and whispered, "Lan Zhi has this flower on her back...... But he was born beautifully. ”
