He lowered his head and rested his head on her shoulder, as if his whole body was relaxed and defenseless. But Nangong Xueruo knew very well in her heart: if she wanted to kill him at this time, she would definitely kill herself. She never did anything she wasn't sure about, so she stood still, letting him hold her.

Lan Lie leaned against her face and asked in her ear, "Why don't you follow me?" Now, I don't want to let you go back, and I don't want to kill you, but you say, what am I going to do with you? ”

Nangong Xueruo put on an innocent expression: "Master Hou, what are you talking about?" ”

"Huh." Lan Lietian chuckled, suddenly picked her up and threw her on the bed, tore her clothes and asked her fiercely. Nangong Xueruo curled up again and again in pain, and was pulled away by him again and again, without pity. Nearly a month after entering the mansion, she saw him show her such a cold look for the first time, like frost, without a trace of temperature.

He was really angry, she thought. But why didn't he just kill her? Reluctance to do it because she is beautiful?

After this day, Lan Lietian rarely came to Luoxia Yuan again. She was under house arrest in the courtyard, and every time she walked to the door, there would always be a girl or a guard, and she said softly or hardly: "There has been no life in the house recently. Master Hou confessed, he must wait for the girl well, and he can't let the girl walk around, so as not to be frightened. ”

She didn't have no way to get around them, and she tried to trick them. But they have been rigorously trained, their mouths are tight, and they refuse to confide in anything. In addition, Nangong Xueruo noticed that they all had some strength in their hands, and obviously knew a little bit of work, although they were not her opponents, but it was enough to make some movement to attract the attention of the guards. She had no way to send information out, and the news from outside couldn't penetrate Luoxia Garden.

Nangong Xueruo began to reflect on herself: that day on the street, when he revealed her identity, why didn't she just run away? By the way, Lan Lie leans out very well, and there are many guards, she is only one person, not an opponent. Since you can't escape, it's better to stay.

But now, what's the point of her staying in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion? Assassinate Lan Lieting? She wasn't sure she would succeed, and she was sure that even if she succeeded in killing him, she wouldn't be able to get out of it. The most important thing is that a business that no one pays for, the pavilion master will not do. He is keen on building a strong and well-established intelligence network, but not on creating chaos. Because intelligence can be exchanged for silver, chaos will only destroy silver in vain.

The price of assassinating the Marquis of Dingguo, Lan Lietian, was too high, and no one could afford this price.

The Hou Mansion was busy for just a few days, and then quickly fell silent. The plan of the Marquis of Dingguo was carried out quietly. Nangong Xue Ruo'an stayed in Luoxia Garden, and from the whispered discussion of the maid guards, she heard the news that Lan Lietian had returned to the court and taken over Guo Maohuai's case.

As Qu Shaojie expected in advance, Wu Jin was extremely respectful of Lan Lietian, and every order was carried out very thoroughly. Lan Lietian himself did have some means, others were in the capital, and it was difficult to deal with the Guo Mansion in Jinzhou, so he simply let it go, and only instructed Wu Jin to slightly change the defense strategy, strengthen the two measures against the attack on the rivers and lakes, and then let out the words: If there is another situation that stimulates Guo Maohuai, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any secrets.

As for Guo Maohuai himself, as early as the first day when Lan Lietian took over the case, he completely disappeared. Except for Lan Lietian himself, I'm afraid even the emperor doesn't know where he is hidden. Some people say that it is in the Hou Mansion, some people say that it is in Dali Temple, and some people say that Guo Maohuai is not in the capital at all, and Lan Lietian personally stayed in the capital to confuse people's eyes.

In any case, this trick really made the murderer behind the scenes dare not act rashly.

It was only at this time that Lan Lietian asked Zhanqin to hand over a post to Ji Huaiyong and invited him to come over to talk about it.

Zhan Qin's attitude was gentle and polite, but he didn't bother much, and quickly invited Ji Huaiyong over. At that time, Lan Lietian was famous on the battlefield, Ji Huaiyong admired him very much, and he had already made friends, but he had no choice but to have a low status, and at most he glanced at it from afar. When he was promoted to become a middle-guard doctor of the fifth grade and finally entered the court, Lan Lietian handed over a request for a refund and refused to entertain. Now that he heard that the Hou Ye had been invited, he was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't care about the undercurrent surging inward, and happily went to the Hou Mansion to make an appointment.

Ji Huaiyong has a straightforward temperament, which is very suitable for Lan Lie's eyes, and he suddenly has a heart of cherishing talents. The two chatted in the front hall for a long time, until night fell, Lan Lie simply opened two jars of good wine and left him to eat in the mansion. Ji Huaiyong did not refuse, and stayed generously. Lan Lie observed for a long time, making sure that he had no scheming, and quietly introduced the topic: "I heard that two years ago, the battle in Shacheng was very legendary? ”

Ji Huaiyong really didn't think much about it, and followed the topic: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, that battle is indeed legendary." At that time, we all had the consciousness of dying in Shacheng, and suddenly a little girl came, I saw that she was neat, so I agreed to borrow her five dead soldiers, and let her take the military plane map to blend into the Hu army, but I didn't expect that she really killed the two commanders and military divisions of the Hu people, so that the Hu people were in chaos in front of the battle, and we had the opportunity to successfully defend the sand city. ”

Lan Lie leaned forward, very interested in the legend he said: "Oh? What kind of little girl is she? ”

Ji Huaiyong gestured: "Only so tall, it looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old." She is extremely beautiful, with big eyes and a kind of pure attachment in her eyes. It's a pity that there is no expression, a little dumbfounded. When I got serious, I had a kind of ruthless anger, and I even shuddered when I saw my humble position. Oh yes, she claimed to be the one from the Idle Pavilion and said she could call her Nineteen. ”

Nineteen.

That's her name. Lan Lie shook the wine in the glass, remembering Nangong Xueruo's daze, and compared Ji Huaiyong's description: It seems that she has grown a little taller in the past two years. Putting away his thoughts, Lan Lietian continued to ask, "What weapon did she use, have you seen it?" ”

Ji Huaiyong thought for a while: "I only saw her leaving the battlefield, lying on horseback, dragging a long chopping knife. With such a heavy weapon, her small body didn't know how to move. I heard that when she assassinated Darhan and the military advisor, she used a small dagger hidden close to her body; When assassinating Darch, he used a robbed hard bow. ”

There will be a lot of them. Lan Lie sighed lightly: How many lies did she tell and how many secrets did she hide in this mansion?

"She also has a partner, who seems to be called Thirteen." Ji Huaiyong added. He vaguely guessed that Lan Lie must have something inside to ask about this matter, so he told what he knew and confessed.

Lan Lie's face did not change, and he drank the residual wine in the cup in one gulp. Listen to him quietly, and then ask Cheng Ming. Ji Huaiyong knew everything, first praised Cheng Ming a lot, and then talked about the process of acquaintance and separation with him, selfishly hoping that he could get the entrapment of the Marquis of Dingguo. After all, it is a pity that such a talent is in the rivers and lakes. Lan Lie listened with a smile, as if he admired this person, but secretly made up his mind: Sure enough, it was the person under the command of the former prince, and now that he has entered the idle pavilion, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep it if he has any plans.

Outside the hall, the shadows of the trees swayed. The night breeze is blowing.

When the banquet was finished, Lan Lie instructed Zhan Qin to send off the guests, and went to Luoxia Garden.

He hadn't come over for several days, and Nangong Xueruo had already rested, and hurriedly got up to serve when he heard the voice. Lan Lie took advantage of the wine, grabbed her waist and leaned to the bed, and reached out to peel off her only underwear. Nangong Xueruo obediently shrank into his arms and helped him loosen his wine-stained coat. Lan Lie clasped her chin and forced her to look up, looking straight into her eyes with a little indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Nangong Xueruo couldn't help but worry: What is this man thinking? She called tentatively: "Master Hou? ”

Lan Lietian let go of his hand and gently twisted her earlobe, his movements were extremely gentle: "Nangong Xueruo, do you like me?" ”

"Of course I do." She replied without hesitation, her expression was full of sincerity, not even a hint of the shame of a little daughter.

"Huh." Lan Lie chuckled, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his fingers quickly snapped into her throat with a movement, tightening inch by inch.

Why did you suddenly change your face? Nangong Xue Ruo was a little inexplicable, and she didn't know where she annoyed him, she quickly lost her breath, and all kinds of thoughts in her heart quickly turned around, and her half-drooping eyelids covered her eyes, hiding all her feelings. In the end, she did not resist, and her face slowly turned from white to purple.

Lan Lie stared at her firmly, his expression more complicated, and let go the moment before she passed out. Purple fingerprints slowly appeared on the white and delicate neck.

Nangong Xueruo instinctively gasped for breath, curled up, covered her throat and coughed desperately, coughing with tears in her eyes.

"Are you afraid?" Lan Lie looked at it coldly, without the slightest relent.

Nangong Xueruo nodded, and quickly shook her head after a moment's pause.

Lan Lie's gaze was like a thorn.

Nangong Xueruo's heart became more and more worried, desperately suppressed her cough, and hurriedly explained. There was moisture in her eyes, aggrieved and innocent: "Hou Ye is suddenly so fierce, of course he will be afraid." But I thought about it again, Hou Ye has always been very good to me, even if I accidentally do something wrong, Hou Ye will not really kill me, but he is angry for a while, so he is not afraid. ”

She meant something, but it seemed to be just a simple grievance. Lan Lie poured out a sarcastic smile: "You are really sure that Ben Hou is reluctant to kill him." ”

Nangong Xueruo shrank to the side of the bed, not daring to speak again. Lan Lietian grabbed her arm, pulled her over again, and pressed her down without pity. Nangong Xueruo closed her eyes and endured the pain and tossed by him.

The weather is getting hotter day by day.

Lan Lietian would come to see Nangong Xueruo once every few days, without speaking or making any extra movements, he directly threw himself on the bed and stripped his clothes. At first, Nangong Xueruo would put on an innocent expression, try to talk to him, and use the methods she knew to please him. Whenever she used these methods, none of those men could refuse her. But when he came to Lan Lie's place, he was exchanged for more rough movements, accompanied by more pain. So she gradually stopped talking, stopped trying to please him, became like a mute, and secretly watched for the opportunity to leave.

Lan Lie's gaze gradually softened when he looked at her, and the number of times he came to Luoxia Yuan increased significantly.

He saw her calm eyes, obviously with a look of being disposed of, without resistance, like a delicate and silent puppet, but with a faint stubbornness, as if he had made up his mind. Lan Lie quietly guessed in her heart: she had already taken off the disguise of pandering, how long would it take for her to be willing to take off this indifferent disguise? Even if it's hatred or resentment, as long as she doesn't keep a straight face.

That night, when Lan Lie poured over, he was full of wine again, and his eyes were scorching. Nangong Xue Ruo saw that he was in a good mood, so he proposed to go out for a walk, Lan Lie hugged her, and happily agreed: "Okay." I have some things tomorrow, let Lin Yu accompany you. ”

Lan Lietian didn't go and stare at her personally? Nangong Xueruo's mind suddenly became active. She had seen Lin Yu, a young man full of vigor, with a face full of flamboyance, a young man with a proud and high-spirited appearance, extremely respectful of Lan Lietian and Mo Changkong, and extremely proud in front of young people of the same age.

She chuckled softly. Then he caught a glimpse of Lan Lie's gaze and quickly retracted it.

Lan Lietian didn't pick a thorn, sighed, and touched her head: "Come back early when you're tired of playing, it's not safer outside than in the house." ”

Nangong Xue naturally agreed, and she was very well-behaved.

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Xueruo opened her eyes, Lan Lietian had already left, and Lin Yu had been instructed and was waiting for her outside the door. When she stepped out of the Hou Mansion, she didn't have any nostalgia.

Lin Yu took several guards and followed behind him unhurriedly, watching Nangong Xueruo go around for half an hour at will, suddenly speeding up her pace and squeezing into the crowd, her small figure flashed, and she was about to disappear. Lin Yu hurriedly followed, and suddenly a tall man in the prime of life walked over, Nangong Xueruo's body shrank and hidden, and when Lin Yu came around, there was no longer a figure.

Mo Changkong once privately told him that he must keep an eye on this woman. Now that the person is gone, how can I explain to my master when I go back? Lin Yu knew that things were strict, so he was stunned, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly dispersed the people he brought and searched carefully along the street.

If Nangong Xue finally escaped from the mansion, where would Lin Yu be given a chance to catch it and bring it back. Under the cover of the street stalls, she shrank in a low place to identify Lin Yu's people, and quickly took off her brightly colored coat, deliberately wearing a simple and simple short beat, standing in the market civilians without being conspicuous at all. She threw her coat around the corner, avoiding the guards' sight, and with her agility, she slipped out of the way quickly, jumped over the low wall, turned around and ran far away, and finally climbed into the backyard of the Warm Jade Pavilion.

One of them was standing in the courtyard, turned around and chuckled: "Sure enough, I slipped out." ”

It turned out to be eleven. He had been waiting here for a long time, and he didn't say much when he saw people, so he directly carried a heavy brocade bag and handed it over. Nangong Xueruo stared at his eyes and refused to reach out to take it: This guy has never had a good character, who knows if he has played tricks?

"Red pill, three months' serving." Eleven explained, succinctly, "The pavilion master knows that you are coming out, so he specially ordered me to wait here. Your mission is to return to the Hou Mansion and continue to lurk. ”

Nangong Xueruo took the brocade bag he threw with an expressionless face, opened it and checked them one by one, and after making sure that he really didn't move his feet, he still stood still. Eleven smiled, knowing that she was concerned, and it was rare to be a good person, so she took the initiative to solve her doubts: "The things you handed over to Thirteen last time were intercepted by Lan Lietian. Thirteen alerts, I saw it in advance, and I almost kept it in my heart, and I fled back to the cabinet and was silent
