85 strokes An Baizhi

Duan Rubian turned around quietly and motioned for Duan Xuan to block for her first, while she quickly squatted down, grabbed Bai Zhi's wrist, and her eyes condensed, "If you want to live, it's best to let go of these people for me immediately and do what I say."

Bai Zhi glanced at Duan Rubian indifferently, and the knife in his hand pointed at Duan Rubian's chest unequivocally, "I should have killed you"

His voice was resolute, with a hint of ruthlessness, the tears on his face had dried, but at the moment he was like a soulless puppet, Duan Rufang stared at his eyes, and the corners of his lips were opened, "No, you won't"

Duan Rufang's voice seemed to fly from the sky, but it slapped Bai Zhi's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, "If you kill me, it's a big deal that I will become a corpse here, but your cottage, so many people's lives are not just my life can be offended......"

Bai Zhi's eyes were numb, the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, he slowly put down the white and bright corpse in his arms, silent, Duan Rufang couldn't care so much, and his voice was impatient, "You listen well, no matter what King Ning asks you, although you are silent, don't make a heartache look, I will block everything for you, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will say the wrong thing, but I can't protect you"

Bai Zhi didn't know if he had listened to Duan Rubian's words, and still sat on the ground decadently, but his expression was not as painful as he was at the beginning.

Duan Rubian pulled Bai Zhi up, put on a faint smile and turned around to welcome King Ning's arrival, King Ning hugged the Nanyang County Lord, stepped forward with a cold face, stared at Bai Zhi behind Duan Rubian, and said in a cruel voice, "How can there be any fish that have slipped through the net!"

Duan Rubian was unhurried, and said with a smile, "King Ning must not kill him, if there is no help from him in this matter, I am afraid that the county lord and I will be more than lucky at this moment."

King Ning didn't believe it, Duan Rubian naturally knew that this was not convincing, and gently pulled Duan Xuan's sleeve, Duan Xuan comprehended, and saluted King Ning and said, "King Ning, when I went up the mountain, those bandits didn't believe my words, and this matter is thanks to him, otherwise as soon as I die, I won't be able to inform the prince of the situation of the cottage."

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, he clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth and looked at Duan Xuan, Duan Rubian noticed that something was wrong with the people around him, moved a few steps to block him, held his hand with both hands, and gave him a warning look, Bai Zhi gradually calmed down, and Duan Xuan began to enter the following.

"I secretly contacted my sister, who is also this helper, he originally wanted to exterminate these bandits, but he didn't have a chance, and now his help is inseparable, how can King Ning kill him?"

King Ning nodded approvingly, glanced at Bai Zhi, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Seventeen"

"Is there a match?"

"Nope"

King Ning smiled brightly, "Okay, well, in the near future, a group of troops will be recruited in the city, this king sees that you have a good foundation, so go and try it, and when it is successful, add the official marquis, and glorify the ancestors."

Bai Zhi was silent for a while, Duan Rubian was stunned in his heart, he was afraid that he would break his work at the moment, who knew that Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows, revealing the ruffian smile he deserved, "Thank you for your advice, Bai Zhi remembered"

"Mmmmmm, the name Bai Zhi ......" King Ning nodded, but he couldn't say anything anymore halfway through, he looked at Bai Zhi for a long time, and then left the Nanyang County Lord and the army and left, Bai Zhi squinted, it seemed that he had a plan, Duan Rufang lowered his eyes and secretly guessed.

The Imperial Forest Army escorted Duan Rubian and Duan Xuan back to the palace, in order to avoid suspicion, Duan Rubian failed to talk to Bai Zhi, according to the rules, he couldn't sit in a sedan chair, so he walked and followed Duan Rubian's sedan chair side closely, Duan Rubian lifted the curtain and secretly observed Bai Zhi, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in her mind, so frightened that she immediately put down the curtain, and her hands couldn't help trembling.

Ningwangfu

King Ning hurriedly rushed into the palace, and the guards and servants watched King Ning rush into the palace with a puzzled expression, rushing straight to the princess's courtyard, and couldn't help but tighten in his heart, secretly wondering if the two had a conflict recently, if something happened, it was best to stop it as soon as possible.

Princess Ning was embroidering in the house, her expression was serene, but the movements of her hands were very disordered, she seemed to be absent-minded, she simply put down the embroidery in her hand, Princess Ning called in a low voice, "Ping'er, I'm a little hungry, you go and ask me for a bowl of porridge from the kitchen."

Outside the door, Ping'er replied, and before she could go out, she met King Ning who came in a hurry, Ping'er was stunned, and was pushed away by King Ning just as she wanted to salute

"You all let me out! No one is allowed to come in without the king's order!" King Ning's face was hideous, very scary, Ping'er didn't dare to slack off, and ran out of the courtyard with other maids and servants.

Princess Ning heard King Ning's shout, her heart trembled, and when she saw King Ning rushing in, Princess Ning nervously pinched her clothes and slowly got up, "Lord, it won't be Nanyang ......"

Princess Ning choked and didn't dare to say anything, just afraid that King Ning nodded, King Ning's face was blue, and he stared straight at Princess Ning, Princess Ning's scalp was numb, and she stepped forward, "Husband...... You ......"

"He's back!" King Ning slowly spit out these words, Princess Ning's face was even more bad, she stepped back step by step, shook her head and muttered "Impossible, impossible......"

He brought back a man and called ...... Bai Zhi "When King Ning said these words, Princess Ning's spirit almost collapsed, and she almost cried bitterly, King Ning walked to Princess Ning's side and patted her on the shoulder, her voice was slightly melancholy

"Su'er, don't cry anymore, haven't we been looking for him all these years, and now that we've found it, what ......are you crying about?"

"Husband, all these years, I thought I could let go, but every time I see Nanyang's face, I can think of him......" Princess Ning burst into tears, her voice choked up, "He took my Zhi'er away, and he has been gone for so many years, since he hates me and wants me to suffer the pain of losing my son, then he ...... Then why did he bring Zhi'er back?"

"Nanyang and Duan Rufang are just an accident" King Ning's eyes were sharp, and his hand couldn't help but shrink, "He drugged Nanyang's food, Nanyang almost died when I rushed to the cottage, fortunately, the accompanying person understands medical skills, otherwise, we will find Zhi'er, and we will lose Nanyang again......"

Princess Ning hid her face, I don't know whether to cry or laugh, the child who has been absent for many years has appeared, what should she do? After thinking about so many possibilities, she is very nervous now, and can't help but hold King Ning's hand, "Husband, shall we take him back, I owe him so much love for so many years, I must return it to him"

King Ning sighed, and there was no longer the excitement in his eyes, "He hates us"

Princess Ning was stunned, grabbed King Ning's sleeve, and her voice was hoarse, "Why?

"He treats Bai Minglang as his father, and I ......" King Ning gasped "I killed Bai Minglang, although Duan Rubian tried his best to help Zhi'er get rid of his crimes, but I can see that he hates me, maybe Bai Minglang distorted the facts, I'm afraid we are ...... now It's hard to get him back......"

Princess Ning sat down on the chair decadently, tears sliding down her cheeks, and murmured softly, "At the beginning...... Those ...... It's all my fault......"

"Then you can't be blamed" Ning Wang said, "It's just a fight between me and him, he may have taken Zhi'er away to make us miserable......"

"Husband, I'm sorry for you" Princess Ning said quietly, "I lost Zhi'er, I don't want to lose another child, although she shouldn't be born, Bai Minglang, you hurt me so much......"

"Nanyang, she is also my daughter" King Ning sighed, "Even though she is not my flesh and blood, but after so many years, I can't give up her, Su'er doesn't have to worry, one day, Zhi'er will come back......"

Intrauterine

After a few days of tossing, Duan Xuan just returned to the palace to rest, Duan Rufang found out just now, there is no sleepiness at all at this moment, Bai Zhi stood in the center of the hall, carefully observing the surrounding buildings, and couldn't help but sneer, "Brocade clothes and jade food, glory and wealth, but even a mouthful of food is refused to give the people ......"

Duan Rufang's eyes flashed, and he said, "What do you think of King Ning's suggestion?"

Bai Zhi thought quietly for a long time, and his smile still went his own way, "It's a good way to go, but it's a pity that I don't go"

Duan Rubian stared at Bai Zhi for a while, and said softly, "If you still have nothing to do, you don't want to avenge your father, your second brother and your fifth mother!"

Bai Zhi's hand trembled, and he pulled out a far-fetched smile, "My father wants me to live well, my second brother wants me to live well, my fifth mother ......"

"Enough" Duan Rubian interrupted, "If you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, you shouldn't be so arrogant, do you see those eunuchs along the road?

Bai Zhixiao's indifference, ruffian, "I really can't help but deceive, although joining the army is not as free as being a bandit, but if you have something to do, it seems to be a good choice"

Duan Rufang was stunned, and smiled in agreement, the long black feathers covered her eyes, and her voice was soft, like a breeze blowing across the lake, "Your mother...... Who the hell is it?"

Bai Zhi was silent, but his expression stiffened, and the silence in the hall was terrifyingly quiet......

"Why did you suddenly ask me like that" Bai Zhi smiled harmlessly, like a simple child, but Duan Rubian clenched his fists, and his smile was a little echoed

"In the room where I live, there is a mechanism under the ink cartridge, and after opening it, there is a dark layer, and there is a painting in it, it looks like it has been some time, and the corners of the painting have been wrinkled, I thought it was very familiar when I looked at it, but I was not sure, I saw King Ning just now, I suddenly thought of ......"

Duan Rubian paused, "The person in the painting...... Like the princess of King Ning, I don't know, do you know about this?"

Bai Zhi bowed his head and was silent, and looked at Duan Rufang with an unfathomable look, "I only know that that room was my father's residence in the past, and as for the picture of the woman reading the military book you said, I have never seen it."

Duan Rufang's heart trembled, not intentionally or unintentionally, but just a little more heart.

Duan Ru was flawed, so he sent someone to send Bai Zhi to rest, and he untied his clothes and slept with his belt, and the morning sun gradually rose, shining on the ground, but it was hiding one strange puzzle after another.
