Chapter 300: The Female Guard's Wish (15)
At this time, Shi Lan, who was under the city wall, ran wildly all the way, and behind him was a group of extremely vicious barbarians. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
From time to time, there were sharp long thorns thrown by barbarian slashers in his ears and sides, and more than a dozen feet away, the high city gate slowly opened, and a group of guards wearing battle armor and holding sharp blades rushed to the sound of surging drums.
Shi Lan smiled slightly,
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, she simply kills them.
Shi Lan turned around and fought to the death with the barbarians behind her who were already excited by her, and also fought for a glimmer of hope for herself.
The sharp sword slashed across the burly barbarian's body, and blood spurted out.
Shi Lan half-squinted, jumping in the bright red, and there must be a surge of blood as the blade of the sword in his hand pointed.
The sound of the horse's hooves approached, and the brute force knocked down the barbarian only wailed a few times before being trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves.
The brave guards whistled past Shi Lan's clothes, and Shi Lan stood quietly in place, watching the guards gallop on their horses and slaughter the barbarians who were scattered and fleeing one by one.
A low sigh suddenly sounded in his ears, "Becoming a king and defeating a king, it has been like this since ancient times, and the most innocent are those ordinary people who have the most difficult lives. ”
Shi Lan looked sideways.
Wang Liu's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint compassion in his eyes.
Shi Lan frowned disapprovingly, how could a man who was in a high position and had fine clothes and food every day understand the suffering of people who were hungry and lived on the edge of life and death every day.
Wang Liu seemed to be a little cold, pulled down his shirt, and said, "The danger of Yuncheng has been solved, what are your next plans?" ”
Shi Lan chuckled, "Plans?" I am the guard of the Xun family, so naturally I went back and forth from where. ”
Wang Liu pursed his lips, listening to Shi Lan's somewhat mocking tone, for some reason he didn't say his plan, but just looked left and right and said to him: "I have ordered the maid to prepare the house, Your Excellency should go and rest first, and the matter of going back will be talked about until the rest is good." ”
Shi Lan rolled her eyes to look at him.
Wang Liu looked ahead fixedly, and didn't look at her.
Shi Lan raised her eyebrows, but didn't speak.
She's shown her talents, and the rest is out of her control.
She had seen his foresight before, and Shi Lan believed that whether it was for the sake of near-term worries or for the prosperity of the family, Wang Liu would not let herself go back.
At this moment, it is the most critical time for the game between the two sides, it depends on who can hold on, and only those who can hold on can get what they want, Shi Lan firmly believes that he is the last one.
When she returned to the city lord's mansion, there was already a maid waiting at the door, and when she saw Shi Lan, she led her to a room with incense.
Lying on the couch softly, Shi Lan stretched out her hands and feet, and before she even had time to wash, she quickly fell asleep.
Although the assassination time was short, she sneaked all the way, and after entering the crowd, she relied on her keen intuition and rational judgment to determine the candidate as soon as possible, and then killed the person with lightning speed, and also raised one hundred and twenty spirits to ensure that she was not besieged by the angry barbarians, after all, she had not completed the task now, so she lost her life, and the previous effort was in vain.
The sky turned from dark to bright, and the birds, after a good night's sleep, jumped on the branches, greeted the brilliant morning sun, and shouted happily.
Shi Lan opened her eyes lazily, and there was a maid standing by the door, seeing her open her eyes, she hurriedly walked to her, carefully helped her up, and said, "Sister-in-law is sleeping well?" The water prepared by the maid is warm, and it is just right to wash at this time. ”
Shi Lan got up with her strength, took the wrung out handkerchief again, and wiped her face.
The maidservant brought a stack of silk brocade to make clothes, and said, "Please change your sister-in-law's clothes." ”
Shi Lan flipped through it casually and said, "This dress is too gorgeous and complicated, I don't feel comfortable wearing it." ”
The servant girl raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that although her expression was light, there was a hint of undoubted taste, so she muttered, "Then the servant will go and fetch you something else." ”
Shi Lan nodded, and after a moment, the maid returned, this time with a cyan arrowroot cloth.
Shi Lan stretched out her hand and touched it, this kudzu cloth had a more delicate texture than she had ever seen, and the thickness was slightly thinner, but the strange thing was that it was not transparent, and it felt very comfortable on the skin, like a second skin.
Shi Lan lifted her clothes and took a closer look in the sunlight.
Only then did I realize that there was more than one layer of this thin fabric, but the fabric was too light, and the two layers together were a few points thinner than the ordinary kudzu cloth.
Shi Lan pursed her lips, she has not been here for a short time, and she has some understanding of the productivity here.
Ordinary kudzu cloth is generally used as a headscarf or underwear, and the arrowroot cloth used by Lang Jun as a lining like Xun Eighteen is that kind, and at this time, this kind in her hand seems to be almost the same as those arrowroot cloths, but if it is valued, even that kind of car is not comparable to an inch in her hand.
"Lan is just a guard, and this shirt can't bear it."
Seeing the maidservant shake off her clothes, Shi Lan took half a step back and excused herself.
The maidservant was a little at a loss when she heard her say this.
"What's the matter, Ah Lan saved more than a thousand people in the city with one fell swoop, and he can afford it a hundred times more precious," a noble and low male voice thought on the corridor, Shi Lan looked up, and saw Wang Liu coming in in a moon-white robe embroidered with gold edges, and the blue bamboo on the hem of the shirt swayed gently as he walked, making people feel cold and noble out of thin air.
Shi Lan bowed his hand and said, "I don't deserve to praise Lang Junzan, this is the Xun family's land, and what Lan did was just the obligation of a guard." ”
Wang Liu curled the corners of his mouth lightly and said: "Humility is a virtue, but too much humility is too bad, Ah Lan, do you say yes?" ”
Shi Lan's eyebrows moved slightly, lowered her head slightly, and arched her hand.
The corners of Wang Liu's mouth were raised, and he walked out slowly.
The maidservant stepped forward to help her change her clothes, but Shi Lan waved her back and changed her clothes.
When I went out, I happened to see Wang Liu, who was standing in the courtyard and had not yet left.
Shi Lan took a deep breath and strode forward.
Wang Liu looked up and down, turned his head and walked forward.
Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
When she changed her clothes, she thought about it, if Wang Liu asked herself if she wanted to follow him, she would say righteously that one servant would not serve the two masters, if Wang Liu really wanted to keep herself, only let herself no longer be a servant, except to be a guest, Shi Lan didn't think of any other possibility, and the doorman was to have a free body, so he could only redeem himself.
Who knows that Wang Liu does not play cards according to the card, and he doesn't even say anything, just leave, what kind of trouble is this?
Shi Lan was a little confused.
Wang Liu took Shi Lan straight to the city wall, the siege crisis had been resolved, and the market was lively again.
Looking at those ordinary people with smiling faces and faces for the rest of their lives, Shi Lan thought silently, the original owner's idea was still too simple, she had lived in the Xun family since she was a child, if she got out of there, how could she survive as a woman who could only swordsmanship and serve people, in this place where she could be destroyed if she was not careful?
But she just wanted to get the slave book for this trip, and she didn't need to think about anything else.
Seeing her with a deep face, Wang Liu asked in a low voice, "Seeing this, what is Ah Lan thinking?" ”
Shi Lan said: "I'm thinking that if I failed last night, then what will be the fate of these people now?" ”
Wang Liu was silent for a moment and said, "Ah Lan should know about the dried meat that was hung up and dried after being roasted, right?" ”
Shi Lan nodded.
Wang Liudao: "If it fails, then even within you, our fate is the jerky, the difference is only sooner or later." ”
Shi Lan: "......"
