He has lived with his brother since he was a child. He is nine years older than him. In his heart, his brother who has always taken care of him is like a father.
In the small adobe house, every bit of his life with his brother was left behind.
When he was a child, his brother always asked him to stay at home and go out to work as a part-time worker to earn money. Every afternoon he would sit in front of the door, waiting for his brother to come back.
Every time he comes back, my brother can bring some food, basically some millet rice, which he cooks and eats, but sometimes he also has some snacks, which will make him happy for several days.
Day after day, he gradually grew up. When he felt that he no longer had to wait for his brother at home every day and could go out to help him work, his brother suddenly told himself that he was going out to do business.
He remembered that his brother was very happy at that time. If he could succeed, both of them could live a good life. At the same time, he was very worried about his brother and worried that he could not take care of himself.
Seeing his brother's uncontrollable happiness, the younger brother patted his chest and assured his brother that he had grown up and was no longer a child and could take care of himself.
In the end, although he was a little worried, my brother left. Finally, he told himself that the world is in chaos and people are unpredictable. If we want to live a good life, we brothers must stay away from each other and climb up. No one should believe it except ourselves.
Since then, he has never seen his brother again, when he was nine years old.
Following the instructions given in the letters, he successfully found a position in the army and lived a good life.
When he was sixteen years old, his brother sent another letter asking him to start a family as soon as possible and give the Zheng family a queen. He didn't take it seriously, thinking that the original Shangguan had been transferred and all the money he had spent before was wasted.
Recently, I kept hearing people say that there was a fairy-like woman locked up in the prison, and he didn't know what kind of fairy magic she had. He thought it was all lies.
That night, someone else was talking about it again, and he bluntly stated that it was a lie. The person stopped him by saying, "Have you seen it?"
All he knew was that he was embarrassed at the time, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He planned to go take a look and prove that he was right.
That night, for some unknown reason, no one was guarding him when he entered the corridor, so he went in directly.
It wasn't until he opened the gate and saw the figure in the water that he knew the rumor was true, but his heart ached.
When he woke up, he found that he had stabbed the sword into his chest. His consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he suddenly remembered.
The person blocking his words was clearly a confidant of the newly appointed Chief Hundred Officer Lu Xin. How could there be no guards in the corridor?
…
Yan Lingji watched the expression on the face of the man in front of her changing constantly. She felt it carefully, and she always felt that something was wrong. How did he know about Prince Baiyue?
She felt a barrier, and he didn't want to say it. Maybe that was what he remembered most?
In her eyes, a faint flame reflection surged, and she had to figure it out.
Her spirit was highly concentrated. When she felt that she was about to break through the barrier, the barrier seemed to turn into a black curtain that filled the sky, shrouding her and wrapping herself tightly.
Everything around her turned into darkness, there was no sound, no light, she was alone, she spoke, but could not hear her own voice...
"puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yan Lingji's vision went dark and she lost consciousness instantly.
At the same time, Zheng Ze slowly opened his eyes, his expression was a bit complicated. Yan Lingji used fire charm on him, it was like he was experiencing the memory of his original body all over again, which made him feel unspeakable.
strange feeling.
In addition, he probably knew what he got after swallowing so much treasure for the puppet.
Different from the weak physical strengthening before, this time his "spirit" is stronger.
It is said that people have spirit, but Zheng Ze can't explain exactly what it is. Anyway, it is the same thing. His observation, hearing, and perception abilities are stronger, his food tastes better, and he also eats more.
Can't tell.
Yan Lingji used the Fire Charm Technique against him and suffered backlash, and he also felt it. This was also the result of the change in his physique.
In short, these are the specific manifestations of strengthening, and he can't say more.
However, when his vision became clear again, he saw Yan Lingji lying on the ground with blood on her body.
He was immediately dumbfounded, what is going on?!
I'm still hanging, why did you fall down? Who will let me down!
"Girl? Girl, can you hear me?"
"Yan Lingji? Yan Yan? Xiao Yan'er?"
After calling several times in succession, the person lying on the ground still showed no response. This was different from when she pretended to be fainted in front of Zheng Ze before.
This time, she really suffered internal injuries and fainted.
He sighed, fortunately he was prepared, otherwise he would be tied up like this, and the woman under him would be so faint, and it would be too uncomfortable to starve to death here.
With difficulty, he took out a small knife from his cuff, and slowly cut the rope tied to his feet. His feet landed first, and then the rope on his hands was quickly untied.
This is why Yan Lingji didn't bother to search his body. In her opinion, it would be useless to use Zheng Ze's skills in front of her anyway.
Twisting the stiff joints on his body, he never expected that something like this would happen.
He then leaned over to help Yan Lingji up, and first checked her breath. Although it was a little disordered, it was still normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then when he looked at the beautiful woman in his arms who was as charming and soft as before, he felt troubled.
Aren't you trying to seduce me into committing a crime?
This was the first time he had been in such close contact with her. Before, it seemed that he had observed and tested her from a distance. From the beginning to the end, the other party gave people a very indifferent sense of distance.
Zheng Ze also knew that Yan Lingji probably never took him seriously before he revealed the news about Tianze.
Well now, woman, I still like your original proud look!
Sighing, Zheng Ze helplessly picked her up. She was not heavy, and his physical fitness was pretty good, so it was not very strenuous.
He put her on the bed in this room, opened the door, and found that it was still dark outside, so he walked back again.
Yan Lingji didn't take herself very far, she was still near Mi County. This house was also very dilapidated and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.
She had burned it up and down with a flame before, but it didn't look dirty at all.
Under the light, Zheng Ze sat where she originally sat, placing his hands on the table and looking at his wrist, there was a strange mark on it.
In addition to the changes he just discovered, the biggest change after the puppet swallowed the metal was that it disappeared.
Rather than disappearing, it is better to say that it has become a mark on your wrist, directly attached to your body.
He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but it was probably good. At least now he no longer had to hide a puppet on his body and worry about being discovered and taken away.
Looking at this mark, his mind drifted to other places.
Originally, the purpose of "rescuing" Yan Lingji was to rely on the little bit of goodwill and trust I had accumulated, coupled with information asymmetry to give some guidance, hold her tightly and do something.
Although the current situation is somewhat different from what I originally imagined, it is still pretty much the same.
In this way, his thoughts slowly drifted into the distance. He wondered what kind of excitement it would be in that place not far from Mi County.
The contract has been signed, um, it will be updated stably. Thanks to Mr. Mo Wuxin for the reward. Let’s celebrate and add an update.
