Chapter 21 The Beginning of the Transaction
When he saw Zhi Lan returning, Sui Jing, who was described as haggard, ran up, but saw him catch the woman's crumbling body, and Yan Qi quietly left here after this.
Along the way, Zhilan clutched her chest and coughed violently, until she arrived here, her frowning face was still full of pain, and the pain overflowed in her chest and mouth, as if it was endless, and this scene was inevitably cranky.
"Zhilan, are you okay? Where the hell have you been? What exactly did they do to you? ”
A series of questions lingered in the woman's ears, and in the end she only managed to utter a few words, but these words did nothing to reduce Sui Jing's anxiety.
"I ...... I'm fine...... It's really nothing...... You don't have to worry about me......"
When the woman's coughing did not stop, she clutched her chest as if she had relapsed from an old disease, so that she was enveloped in all kinds of pain, and even her tone became weak, and it smelled really painful.
"Zhilan...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
In the past, Zhilan was ashamed, but now it is replaced by Sui Jing who hangs the word "sorry" on his lips all day long. Hearing this, Zhi Lan immediately frowned, and immediately grabbed the man's hand, signaling him not to speak falsely.
However, in the past half hour, Zhilan has always lowered her eyes, accompanied by the sound of coughing, her hand covering her chest has never been lowered, even if she is taken into her arms in distress by Jing Wanwan, she has not shown the slightest smile as usual, which is indeed a little strange.
At this time, in a place that the two of them didn't know, a pair of dark eyes were watching the movement on the side without stopping, to be precise, analyzing Zhi Lan's various actions, and this person was Yan Qi.
For half an hour, vigilance has always been fixed in Yan Qi's heart, and the reason why he has not left for a long time is that he feels that Zhi Lan is cheating. At this moment, it seemed to be sure that the woman inside was acting well, and the man finally took off his sharp gaze, and the figure disappeared in an instant.
I don't know if Zhi Lan in the prison can sense the dangerous aura that has been lurking in the shadows, in short, not long after Yan Qi left, Zhi Lan also put down the hand that had been covering her chest, and her eyes immediately lifted slightly, and then pierced through the iron bars of the prison until the end of the road, but the twisting face that lasted for half an hour was disillusioned in the pitch.
Sui Jing was slightly startled, but when he wanted to speak, he was shocked by the things that fell from Zhi Lan's chest one after another.
At this time, the green grass ground was scattered with all kinds of royal high-grade sharp weapons, swallowtail darts, daggers, thistles, and all portable hidden weapons, all of which were stolen by Zhi Lan, who was the first to enter the Son of Heaven's bedroom.
"This ...... This...... When did you get these? Does your chest stop hurting? Where do these things come from? ”
"It never hurts, it's just an illusion I've faked. I'm afraid these hidden weapons will fall out of my arms, and I can only cover my chest. Ah Jing, you put it away quickly, the sword is too conspicuous for me to steal, but these sharp weapons are enough for you to deal with emergencies. ”
Sui Jing was confused, and instead of listening to Zhi Lan's words, he hid these inexplicable sharp weapons in his body, but grabbed Zhi Lan's busy hands at a sharp time, and his face was cold, obviously not worried about the motives of the person in front of him.
"Zhilan, tell me, where did you go? Where do these sharp weapons come from? What are you hiding from me, you must tell me now! ”
The man was really worried about the danger that the person in front of him would bear alone, but Zhilan refused to tell the truth for a long time, and finally under Sui Jing's anger, she could only vaguely say some excuses used to prevaricate.
"The emperor summoned me, and it's nothing in the end, but he just wants to use my mouth to say something unrealistic. But don't worry, I haven't been hurt in the slightest, and before Yin Jun saw me, I stole these hidden weapons with my hands, no matter what, the weapon can always be more reliable in my heart. Okay, Ah Jing, don't ask so much first, just hide it if you want to hide it, is it possible that you don't want to see your sister? You still called her name in your dreams last night. ”
Immediately, Zhi Lan was slightly angry and stuffed the hidden weapon back into Sui Jing's arms, this busy posture did not give Sui Jing half an hour to think about it, in order to make him less suspicious, otherwise in the end, no one would be able to escape the end of dying in the capital punishment.
As soon as Sui Yu was mentioned, Sui Jingguo was moved, and he no longer shied away from Zhilan's kindness, but his doubts did not end there.
"But...... Now we have no chance of escaping......"
"Who said no, you just wait, no matter what happens next, you have to save your life, promise me, okay?"
The entrusting tone made Sui Jing extremely uncomfortable, he always felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, as if he deliberately hid some secret and refused to tell himself, and his eyes were cast, and Sui Jing was suspicious at the same time.
"It seems like the two of us are about to separate, Zhilan, you are not allowed to act privately, or to go to danger for me, if I know that you are acting in secret, I will not forgive you."
Suddenly, Sui Jing held the woman's jade hand again, her eyes locked in her pupils, and while warning, she was eager to detect the clues in the woman's countenance, but at the same time, Zhilan took away all her anxiety and turned to stare at the person in front of her calmly.
"Don't worry, the two of us will never be separated, if we want to live, we will live together."
The woman's calm face did not find any signs of misfortune, and after being sure again and again, Sui Jing could only say that he had let go of half of his heart, but at the same time he divided half of the hidden weapon in his arms to the woman.
"Then you can take some too, and if I have an accident, you can keep them to defend yourself."
As soon as the words fell, the woman refused.
"No need, I still have it in my arms, these are for you. In case of...... I mean, in case, if the king of Yin can give you a way to live, you should flee quickly, and don't look back, let alone care about my safety, even for the sake of your poor sister, you need to remember my words now, okay? ...... Jing"
Ben's calm face was suddenly covered with a faint layer of sorrow, and every time Zhilan's thoughts leaped to the dark future, Yu Jie climbed up her eyebrows.
"Shiba, what the hell do you mean? Can you make it all clear? Do you really have a secret that you won't tell me? ”
Sui Jing was always vigilant, and only then did he let go of half of his heart, but at this moment, he was raised again because of the woman's inexplicable words, he looked solemnly at Zhi Lan's eyes, and the heavy hidden weapons in his arms seemed to be as heavy as a thousand catties, pressing on his chest enough to make him a little breathless.
This whole night, Zhilan has not slept peacefully, she has been waiting for a certain moment to come, she is full of sweat in her palms, she has always held the hand of the man beside her, the past shame is no more, but now what remains is the unflutched attachment to the warmth that can feel Sui Jing, Sui Jing did not reject the enthusiasm of the woman after she unloaded her reserve, and blindly let her cling to it. Zhi Lan thought that Sui Jing had already fallen asleep, but she didn't know that the man, like her, had not slept all night, and what had always been fixed in his mind was the secret behind Zhi Lan's refusal to tell the truth for a long time.
When he was about to touch Yin, Sui Jing's body moved, and Zhi Lan, who subconsciously looked over, happened to collide with the man's eyes that had just opened.
"You're awake."
"Well, wake up."
The man bowed his head lightly, pretending to be sleepy-eyed, but he did not explain the fact that he had not slept yet, and the whole process of the woman beside him from tossing and turning to sitting up with his hand pulled out was perceived by him, and it was because of this that he was completely sure that Zhilan had something secret hidden in his heart, and all this just made him worry.
The man also sat up, maintaining the same posture as the woman beside him, but they were silent to each other, and the atmosphere that lingered between the two was inexplicably sad.
"Zhilan, are you really refusing to say anything to me? Now, I thought you knew everything about me, but I didn't think you trusted me at all. ”
His eyes shone on the ground, and the strange atmosphere rushed to Zhi Lan's ears with Jing's question, but his tone did not mean to be strange, but seemed to be lonely alone, and the distance between the two was deliberately widened a lot by him.
Zhi Lan immediately turned her head sideways, and the inexplicable anger was already on her head, but after seeing the man's cold figure, some of the angry words born of anxiety and hopelessness were finally pressed back to the bottom of her heart, she clearly knew that she must not be emotional now, and as for the transaction with Yi Zhixing, she could not be known by anyone except herself and Yi Zhixing, especially Sui Jing.
"Ah Jing, you are really worried, I don't have anything to hide from you, I'm just worried about the future...... Besides, all this is a disaster that I broke out of, and you have to make me feel a little ashamed. ”
These gentle words were originally uttered by Zhi Lan to dispel even the slightest suspicion of the person in front of her, but unexpectedly became an outlet for Sui Jing to express his heart.
Maybe this man really believed it, believing that Zhilan's depression and strange behaviors were indeed out of her shame, which also made it possible for Sui Jing to stir up the feelings hidden in her heart for more than a month.
The next moment, Sui Jing suddenly raised his head, and the eyes that eagerly looked at Shang Zhilan returned to shyness.
"Zhilan, you really don't have to be ashamed, all this ...... I actually did it willingly! In fact...... Actually, I ...... you"
Before the impulse of his first life could be released, he was forced to be interrupted by the black shadow that suddenly pressed down in front of him, and the eyes of the two looked at the iron bar of the prison together, which was the stern figure of Yan Qi standing behind the iron bar.
At this time, Yan Qi's cold gaze and Zhi Lan's dark light were intertwined without shying away, while Zhi Lan and Sui Jing's eyes coincided with the narrower, but the meaning here was really different.
"Please, two."
Yan Qi's cold face was still the same, but Zhi Lan's pupils began to tremble violently, she knew everything, she actually had a certain despair, and Sui Jing, who knew nothing, was wrapped in an unknown scorching cage.
At the same time, at the same moment, when the same palace encountered the same dark night, in a certain high pavilion near the palace gate, Yin Guo was sitting in the pavilion, constantly flipping through the military books in his hands, and the dim candle flame fiddled with the wind, even if the candle shadow swayed, there was no distraction on the part of the Son of Heaven.
His appearance is like an abyss with the two people in the prison, and as far as Yi Zhixing is concerned, tonight is simply a certain moment in his life that is insignificant.
