Chapter 53: Waiting
After entering the post house and turning to the guest room, Chen Lan originally wanted to silently wait for the dispatch under the corridor, but Sui Han called her into the house and ordered her to serve and bathe.
For no reason, she always felt that Sui Han's eyes were strange when she looked at her, but she couldn't tell what the fault was. At this moment, when I heard that she was going to be assigned to serve and bathe, I couldn't help but be shocked and at a loss.
Sui Han sighed, shook his head and said, "Fetch water, wait outside." ”
Chen Lan was pardoned, and quickly ran to prepare hot water and incense for bathing.
On the inside of the screen, there was a sound of water rattling from time to time, and outside the screen, Chen Lan's face turned into a persimmon, but it was difficult to leave a single step. Since he told her to wait outside, he would probably call her again, don't do anything out of the ordinary.
She prayed to herself.
After standing outside for almost half an hour, the intermittent sound of water inside was finally replaced by the sound of getting up and rustling clothes. Sui Han called her into the house to clean up, and Chen Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran in.
She was about to pick up the dirty clothes that had fallen on the ground, but someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Chen Lan froze, she could have dodged, but thinking of the order of weak water to "serve this person well", she could only let him do what he wanted. She didn't have a bad impression of him, and believing that he wouldn't do anything to her as a foreign envoy.
Xu was soaked in hot water for too long, his palms were hot, and the back of his hands was steaming. His long hair was wet and draped over his shoulders, and he wore a single coat embroidered with light blue moire on a white background.
"Let me guess......" he said softly, a light mist rising from his mouth, glowing with warm ambergris, "You're not an ordinary witch disciple, but the new female guard of the Obsidian Temple, right?" ”
Chen Lan raised her eyes to look at him, without saying a word, she acquiesced.
Sui Han pondered for a moment and sighed: "There are not many skills like a girl in the Dead Soldiers' Camp, but she is barely able to enter the Obsidian Palace. They're going to send the dead men of the Obsidian Temple to receive me, and those powerful people are busy with their own tasks, so it can only be you. Tell me, is your name Chen Lan? ”
"That's right." The girl in red didn't even think about it. Her eyes twinkled like stars, but she was so uncertain, "Why does the High Priest know all about the people of the Obsidian Temple?" ”
Sui Han smiled: "You should know that I saved you that day." If you owe me your life, don't worry too much. ”
He finally let go of Chen Lan's wrist. Chen Lan rubbed the bruises on her wrists, and was about to retreat with her dirty clothes, but her voice behind her was as calm as water: "After cleaning up, I will come to bed." ”
Chen Lan was crossing the threshold, and when she heard this, she almost tripped up.
In the back room, Sui Han was lying on the couch with his arms on his back, his green eyes as green as jade gradually covered with a layer of mysterious mist. The outline of his facial features is undoubtedly modest and gentle, but the eyes wrapped in a heavy mist are complex and deep, and I don't know how many terrifying waves have been swallowed in them, and how many moons and suns have passed......
He smiled, his thin lips silently whispering to himself: "Nishang, I have finally found your last soul in this world......
Chen Lan wrinkled her little face, and moved almost half a cup of tea time in one step at a time before moving to Sui Han.
She looked directly at the man on the couch with his eyes closed and seemed to have fallen into a dream, and looked directly at his elegant and quiet sleeping face, and suddenly for some reason her head began to ache faintly, as if the man she had never met was her eternal curse, as if his face had been deeply rooted in her blood and bones in the previous life......
There was a dizziness in front of her eyes for no apparent reason, and she covered her forehead with her hands in pain.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her waist suddenly lightened, and her whole person fell into a warm and wide embrace. In a panic, he opened his eyes wide and met a pair of green eyes that were as clear as a mirror, as if he could see through everything.
His gentle eyes were like spring water, rippling slightly, his hands tightly hugged her petite body, and he sighed lowly: "Don't be afraid, let me hold you like this." ”
Chen Lan didn't dare to move, but fortunately, Sui Han didn't make any further moves. He hugged her quietly, as if asleep, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
When Chen Lan walked out of the post house the next day, the witch sect disciples who were patrolling back and forth saw her hiding their faces and dodging, and she was very puzzled. It wasn't until I heard them whispering gossip about the things in the cold house last night behind the two maids who served the tea, that I suddenly realized.
When the maidservants saw Chen Lan scolding and scolding angrily, they immediately scattered.
An hour later, Sui Han finished packing up and led his men to follow Chen Lan to the palace.
After Sui Han said a few inconsequential polite words to Lihong and Yanci, the new emperor of Yanguo, Lihong waved his hand and retreated from all the servants, and Chen Lan finally completed the mission of receiving them for one day.
She was in a daze thinking about the events of last night, and walked straight with her head down, when she suddenly hit a man in the chest.
Rubbing his swollen forehead, he saw a figure that fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Hah!" Looking at the long man who grinned after being knocked over, she couldn't help but laugh, and forgot about the headache.
Is his iron head really so powerful? If you take a closer look, it is actually Sui Han's entourage with charming eyes like a woman, and his skin is quite good.
"What are you laughing at? Stinky girl! Unexpectedly, the man cursed in a low voice, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Lan, who was still a big red piece on his forehead, and added angrily, "Ugly girl!" ”
Still scolding addiction?
Chen Lan has not been the master of verbal losses since she was a child, and immediately fought back with her hands on her waist like a shrew: "You are blind! It's not good to go on such a wide road, but I want to hit my aunt and grandmother! You see, what do you see? Haven't you ever seen a woman? What, not convinced? When you see me as a woman, you think I'm a bully? You are the most shameless person who deceives good and fears evil! You scold, you scold again......"
The poor man who didn't get up for half a day was stunned and stupid, dumbfounded and dumbfounded, looked at Chen Lan and scolded straight for half an hour without repeating, finally stopped, walked away, and did not forget to pretend to be kind when he left: "I'll spare you once today, don't be bumped into by my aunt and grandmother again!" ”
"You...... You're going to die for me! The man shouted at a shrill voice.
"Pianpin?" Behind him, Ding Ruoyu, who was dressed in black and wearing a red cloak, rushed over when he heard the sound, and suddenly spoke, scaring him again and yelling.
"The palace is important, no noise." Ding Ruoyu helped him up, glanced at the direction in which Chen Lan disappeared, and shook his head amusedly.
"I don't have a sound when I walk, you're going to scare me to death!" Pian Pian gently slapped her a few times.
Ding Ruoyu accompanied him back to the post house, and saw Xue Mu, the lifeless sword waiting in the lobby.
Both of them are dressed as entourage, and if you don't look closely, you really can't tell their true identities. Ding Ruoyu saw Pianpian men's clothing for the first time, and compared to the stunning women's clothing, it was indeed too mediocre.
"Second Highness, the person has been sent back, and Qiao'er should also go." She saluted Xue Mu.
Pian Pian still wanted to keep her for a cup of tea, but she refused on the grounds of doing errands.
In addition to the post house coming to the market, after walking a few steps, Ding Ruoyu put on the hat of the cloak, and his feet also sped up.
Several hidden weapons attacked, Ding Ruoyu stepped on the table of the noodle stall next to him and ran to the roof, ran along the roof to another restaurant, climbed the wine flag and jumped back to the ground, and walked into a bustling street.
The streets were full of people, and those who made the hidden weapons inconvenient had to continue to follow her.
From the time she investigated Cang'er's whereabouts, every time she went out, someone would always want to secretly do something to her. didn't know the number and origin of the other party, Ding Ruoyu didn't dare to fight rashly, and tried every way to avoid it and let them lose it.
This time she also planned to do the same, but she didn't expect that the gang would follow too closely and never find a chance to get rid of them.
As she walked through another alley, she was grabbed by the wrist.
"Follow me!" Ding Ruoyu looked back and saw that it was Yu Feiqiong. He was supposed to practice in the camp of the dead and other tasks, but he didn't expect to appear here.
She followed him through a row of low rooms and into a large open space behind her.
"There are only a dozen of them, and they can't be guarded against it with hidden weapons. When they came to this clearing, they lost their cover and had to show up obediently. Yu Feiqiong said, let her not worry so much.
Ding Ruoyu held the dagger, she was alone before, but now that her companion was by her side, she also had the courage to deal with that group of people.
Suddenly, the canopy of the trees not far away shook, and two or three killers dressed as civilians appeared, and another brick and tile shattered, and several people in the same clothes came out from behind the roof, staring at the two of them.
Ding Ruoyu swept around, no more, no less, exactly ten people, and she sealed with her other hand, setting up a wind barrier on her body to resist those hidden weapons that were difficult to notice.
On the whole, she and Yu Feiqiong are of equal strength, but she doesn't use witchcraft and only relies on exercises, she is still a cut behind him, so she has to rely on the mana barrier to cover up her shortcomings.
As the two sides got closer, Yu Feiqiong suddenly asked, "Who are you, and why do you want to fight against the Witch Sect?" ”
"Who? Hahahaha...... Several men on the other side laughed, and one of them drew a knife and pointed at Ding Ruoyu and said, "Our boss Zhang died at the hands of this little slut, and now the brothers have come to take revenge!" ”
"Boss Zhang?" Ding Ruoyu didn't react for a while, and when he saw that one of the people in the group took two steps forward, he remembered that they were Xijiang Sidao's subordinates.
The person who took the first two steps was Tang Chunjing, who escaped by luck. He was dressed in tatters at this time, and his face was unshaven, and he almost didn't recognize him.
It turned out that they didn't give up, and they still wanted to seek revenge on her.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, I did this matter, and it has nothing to do with him. You surnamed Tang are coming at me, and the two of us will have a good fight! Ding Ruoyu said loudly. Compared with when she was in South Vietnam, she had a breakthrough in her skills in just a few months, and if she fought alone, she still had a good chance of winning against Tang Chunjing.
Generally, these Jianghu people take into account morality, and they will respond to this one-on-one style of play, and don't think about the reason.
But Tang Chunjing is cunning by nature, how could he be caught in by her in a few words? He laughed and said, "you, you have a debtor!" The brethren went up together, destroyed them for me, cut them into pieces and fed them to the dogs, as a sacrifice to the spirit of the eldest brother in heaven! ”
