Kill him?

Lan Zhi could vaguely guess why he begged for death, but in this situation, what name could she find to kill him?

In such a moment of thought, the female soldiers had already come to Lan Zhi's side. Lan Zhi no longer had the right to choose, and the man gave up and closed his eyes. She let go of the man's feet and stepped aside, and someone stepped forward and tied him into a dumpling.

While the female soldiers were walking, several figures and the lights outside the street were staggered, which made Lan Zhi a little confused. But I felt like someone was standing next to me. She turned her head to look and saw Si Yang looking at her carefully.

Lan Zhi gathered her thoughts, lowered her eyes and whispered, "Si Qianhu, are you okay?" ”

Si Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's okay." She patted Lan Zhi on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "You are doing well today." It's normal to hesitate when you're on a mission for the first time, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”

Lan Zhi exhaled slowly. Hearing this, Si Yang also noticed her passive slacking while he was desperately pursuing. But I thought it was because she was nervous and timid on her first mission, but she didn't suspect anything else.

- This person's martial arts are on par with her, and he is so meticulous that he is really a powerful character. She should be glad she didn't do anything.

Lan Zhi lowered her head: "Thank you Si Qianhu for your understanding." ”

This night, when Lan Zhi returned to the women's barracks, she saw a man standing by her door from a distance. The flame of the lantern coated the face with a soft light, and Lan Zhi met the gentle gaze of the man, and her steps were stunned.

But someone reacted faster than her, and saluted: "Deputy Envoy Duan." ”

Duan Ling nodded slightly in response, but walked to Lan Zhi's side and looked her up and down: "You're not injured, are you?" ”

Lan Zhi shook her head. She didn't expect Duan Ling to run to her residence to look for her. Now the moon is almost climbing into the middle of the sky, and two hours have passed since the dinner time he made an appointment.

- He won't ...... It's time to come, and you've been waiting at the door, right?

Lan Zhi cautiously asked, "Lord Duan, why did you come here?" ”

Duan Ling said as a matter of course: "You don't know where my mansion is, I want to come to pick you up." ”

So...... He had been waiting for two hours! Lan Zhi felt uneasy in her heart, and bowed down to apologize: "I'm sorry." I have a temporary task, and I can't inform you, so it's a sin to make you wait for a long time. ”

Duan Ling smiled lightly: "It's okay." As long as I wait for you, I'm willing to wait as long as I want. ”

Such affectionate words, but the man said with an ordinary expression. Lan Zhi was uncomfortable, and replied in a low voice: "Lord Duan raises love, but Lan Zhi doesn't dare." ”

Duan Ling turned his head to look at the food box outside Lan Zhi's house: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll have some food delivered." ”

Lan Zhi was moved and thanked. She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "The night is heavy, and the adults have been waiting here for a long time...... Why don't you go inside and have a cup of hot tea to warm up? ”

There was a pause in the middle of speaking, because Duan Ling didn't wait for her to be invited, so he took the initiative to stand at the door of her house and helped her carry the food box. Hearing her question, the man responded, "It's okay." ”

Lan Zhi: "......"

She was just a polite remark, but he really wanted to enter her room! Although Yu Yuan is open in nature and does not pay attention to the harm of men and women like the Central Plains people, it is not good to be in the same room in the middle of the night. It's just that, looking at Duan Ling's posture, she just won't invite him, and he will stay. Lan Zhi couldn't, so she had to step forward and push open the door: "Lord Duan, please." ”

The house was very simple, with only a bed, a wardrobe, a coffee table, and a small stool. Duan Ling stopped at the door. Lan Zhi hurriedly walked around him and stepped forward, dragged the small stool and said, "Lord Duan sit." ”

Duan Ling smiled: "I'll sit here, what about you?" ”

It's fine for me to stand, Lan Zhi replied in her heart. But he felt that since Duan Ling asked her so, he must not want to see her standing, so he decided to do what he wanted. She thought for a moment, picked up the coffee table, and brought it to the bedside: "I'll sit on the bed." ”

Duan Ling no longer shirked, took a small stool by himself, and sat down at the coffee table. There was a teapot on the coffee table, Lan Zhi touched the temperature, it was already cold, where is the hot tea? She coughed lightly: "My lord, there is only cold tea." ”

Duan Ling didn't mind: "It's cold, it's cold." He put the food box on the coffee table.

Lan Zhi poured him a cup of cold tea. Duan Ling took out the food in the food box and put it in front of Lan Zhi: "Eat quickly, if you don't eat it again, it will be cold." ”

Lan Zhi obediently took the dishes and chopsticks and ate them. But Duan Ling was just looking at her with a smile. Lan Zhi glanced at the tea on the table, and saw that the man did not have the slightest sign of wanting to drink, and said secretly in her heart: Why didn't he leave? Are you still going to watch her finish eating?

She felt that she should say something, reminded the great god to leave, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and said euphemistically: "Lord Duan, if you miss the appointment today, it is really wrong for Lan Zhi, and Lan Zhi will come to the door to make amends another day." ”

Duan Ling looked at the dishes and chopsticks she put down, and then at Lan Zhi, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Lan Zhi was a drop in her heart: she showed her flaws again. Eating without saying a word or sleeping is the etiquette that her adoptive father taught her since she was a child. Although the two years after the collapse of the country and the death of the family were depressed, she retained the habit of putting down the dishes and chopsticks when she spoke.

It's just that her identity is the daughter of Orion, how can she pay so much attention to etiquette? Lan Zhi disguised herself as the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water and drank it, pretending that she put down the dishes and chopsticks to drink tea.

Duan Ling, who was on the other side of the coffee table, kept a smile and watched her finish this, and then said leisurely: "No need, I asked you to come to my house, mainly because I have something to say to you." Since it has come to you today, it is the same as it is said to you. ”

Lan Zhi recalled for a moment: "But, didn't Lord Duan say that there is something in the house for me to see?" ”

Duan Ling changed his sitting posture and rested his elbows on the coffee table: "You finish eating first, and I'll show you." ”

He brought it with him. Lan Zhi picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and thought to herself: When Duan Ling came to the women's barracks to look for her, he didn't know that she would go on a mission, but he also brought such a thing. This can only show that this thing is something that Duan Ling often wears on his body.

- What could it be that she was so eager to show her?

Lan Zhi's gaze swept over Duan Ling's waist, only to see a belt binding his thin waist, and there was no such thing as a jade pendant. Her gaze went up and fell on the man's long, overlapping fingers, and she didn't see the wrench. Beyond the broad chest, it reached the neck, and the collar was tightly wrapped to the Adam's apple, but there was no ornament.

Is that thing hidden in the garment? Lan Zhi couldn't help but sneak a glance at Duan Ling, and saw that the man was looking at her with a smile, obviously seeing her just now.

Got caught. Lan Zhi immediately lowered her eyes, but her face was inevitably a little burning, and she didn't dare to look at it more.

This meal is really delicious. Duan Ling was sitting opposite Lan Zhi, and he had a good light meal, and he was so solemn that he calmed it. Lan Zhi's etiquette since childhood was outlined by this formal scene, but she always remembered her identity as the "daughter of Orion", and resolutely could not be polite and courteous.

Lan Zhi's behavior fell in Duan Ling's eyes, but it made him feel distressed. The contents of the food box were just ordinary meals, Duan Ling told Hu Weiwei's chef to keep one for Lan Zhi to warm, and he expected that she would be back soon, so someone sent it. But she ate such ordinary food, but she ate it deliciously, which shows that she had a bad time before. Come to think of it, this should have been a pampered and noble woman who has been pampered since she was a child, but she was reduced to hunting in the mountains for a living......

Duan Ling sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Your house is too simple, I will send you some furniture and objects tomorrow, you can barely use it." ”

Lan Zhi swallowed the last bite of food and refused, "Lord Duan, you don't have to. "She is here to assassinate Xiang Jinxiu, the more low-key she is, the better, if Duan Ling loves her so much, she will inevitably attract attention. In order to dispel Duan Ling's thoughts, she added, "I think it's good here." I used to live in a small wooden hut, which leaked wind in winter and rain in summer, and slept on straw and covered with cotton clothes...... If Lord Duan gives me something too good, I don't need to get used to it. ”

When Duan Ling heard this, his eyes fell silent, and he said in a half-loud voice: "I wronged you in the previous years. In the future, with me, I will not let you suffer again. ”

He's saying that again. Lan Zhi put down the dishes and chopsticks, and finally asked the question that had been coiled in her heart for a long time: "Lord Duan, you treat me so well, but because of the orchid on my back?" Do you know where it came from? ”

Duan Ling slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lan Zhi, and when he saw Lan Zhi looking back seriously, he frowned slightly.

- She called the flower on her back an orchid? And asked him about the origin of the flower? How so?

Duan Ling's brows furrowed even tighter: "Didn't you say that you have been living with your father all the time?" Why, he didn't tell you the origin of this flower? ”

Where has Lan Zhi seen her biological father! But he couldn't tell Duan Ling the details, so he had to tell a lie: "I asked a few times, and he only said that he didn't know, and the birthmark I was born looked like that." ”

Duan Ling only felt that her heart sank: her father really didn't tell her anything.

Why did the man do this? This question popped up in Duan Ling's mind, but it was quickly answered. The drastic change 15 years ago was also a lingering shadow for Duan Ling. Since Lan Zhi's father fled from Haotian City and was reluctant to return, he must not want his daughter to know the past, which would only add to his sadness.

Lan Zhi still didn't look at him for a moment, but her eyes, which were often as calm as water, gradually became a little more nervous. Duan Ling averted his gaze and struggled in his heart: did he want to sue her, the truth that her father had hidden from her for 15 years? Without truth, there is no hatred, no pain, no burden......

The answer was on his lips, but Duan Ling couldn't open his mouth. He didn't expect Lan Zhi to know nothing about her background. He still wants to recognize her, but if he wants to recognize her, he has to tell her about the past. Duan Ling couldn't mess up her life on her own.

The tea on the table was left for a long time, and at this time, Duan Ling Fang picked it up and drank it. It's just that he forgot that this is cold tea. The chill rolled down his stomach, and Duan Ling was poured cold in his heart. He put down the teacup and finally spoke: "I just saw that the peanut was beautiful, so I just looked at it a few more times, and as for its origin, I don't know." ”

Lan Zhi was obviously a little disappointed and suspicious, but she just nodded and didn't ask any more. Duan Ling knew that she must not believe it, after all, his attitude towards her had changed too obviously, and she was already suspicious. At first, he didn't mind, thinking that she would understand the reason tonight, but now, how should he explain it to her?

Duan Ling suddenly didn't want to stay longer, got up and said, "It's late at night, I'll leave first." ”

He got up and wanted to leave, but Lan Zhi didn't give up and asked, "Master Duan, don't you have something to show me?" ”

Duan Ling's footsteps paused, and there was a burst of irritability in his heart.

It's "Lord Duan" again! They obviously have a closer connection, but he has to hold a qiē in his stomach and listen to her call him "Master Duan"!

The man turned around, pulled his collar in annoyance, and was about to do something casually, but saw Lan Zhi staring at his hand, his expression a little stiff.

Duan Ling paused and tilted his head: Why is she so nervous?

He tugged at the collar again, and saw Lan Zhi pursing his lips patiently. Duan Ling suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth: did she think that he was going to take off his clothes here?

For no reason, the irritability suddenly faded away. Duan Ling chuckled with a sigh: he has already found her, so don't be too greedy and want to ascend to the sky in one step. The future is still long, and he can come leisurely. It's also fun to be able to tease her from time to time.

Duan Ling put down his hand and said with a slight smile: "That thing, I'll show it to you when we get closer." ”

This night, Lan Zhi didn't get the answer she wanted, but she was still suspicious and unwilling. She secretly thought of many methods, and wanted to find out something from Duan Ling's mouth, but in the next few days, Duan Ling did not appear again. In the afternoon of this day, she was practicing her sword in the martial arts training ground, but she saw a lieutenant coming over and calling her from afar: "Lan Zhi, Xiang Zheng is looking for you!" ”

Lan Zhi only wondered: Why did Xiang Jinxiu look for her? She put away her sword, followed the captain, and asked carefully: "This big brother, why is Xiang Zheng's envoy looking for me?" ”

The lieutenant had a bad attitude: "How do I know! He glanced at Lan Zhi: "He asked me to take you to the prison, it is said that he caught Zhongyuan Xizuo a few days ago during the interrogation." ”

Lan Zhi was in her heart: since she was interrogating, why did Xiang Jinxiu suddenly think of her? Don't...... Did the Central Plains confess her correspondence with Xiao Jianchu? So, they suspect that she is also meticulous?
