After eating that exciting dinner, Xiu Xiu was taken back to Jialan Academy by his wife to catch up on her homework. She had just entered school recently and was very nervous about her studies and could not relax. She was very reluctant to leave before leaving.
Jin Yunlan made a childish face to her, and then took Li Zhi for a walk in the yard.
Li Zhi spoke very little. He didn't talk much except for business matters. She introduced him to the flowers and plants at home one by one. He kept nodding in agreement, but in fact, his attention always stayed on her hand hanging by his side.
He hesitated and waved his palms between the two of them, wandering between wanting to hold her but not daring to hold her.
When he finally plucked up the courage to reach out to her, Jin Yunlan unconsciously raised her finger and pointed at an unexpected small hole in the rockery and laughed, "That hole was punched through when I was practicing concealed weapons when I was a child."
Li Zhi tried his best, but in vain. He clenched his fist forward with all his strength, and it was awkwardly stuck in the air, with a look of embarrassment flashing across his face.
"Why are you raising your fist?" Jin Yunlan asked innocently.
Li Zhi's eyes wandered: "...catching mosquitoes."
"Mosquitoes? It's the twelfth lunar month and there are still mosquitoes?"
"Mosquitoes... live longer."
"..."
Ah Zhi, I can't tell you, you are quite good at telling jokes. Jin Yunlan thought.
She saw that it was still early and there was no need to stick to strolling around. It would be better to go shopping in the lively streets, so she suggested to him: "How about we go shopping elsewhere?"
Li Zhi nodded: "Okay."
"Where do you want to go?" she asked with a smile.
"I want to go to your room." Li Zhi replied seriously.
Jin Yunlan was slightly startled, obviously not expecting that he would make such a bold proposal.
"Can't you?" He held the corner of her sleeve, frowning slightly, his eyes wandering, looking around, and she actually looked a little bit like the pitiful posture of the enchantress who has brought disaster to the country.
It's so foul to have such an expression on this face. Who can bear this?
Even if it means life, I have to give it!
"Okay! Go! We'll go right away!" Jin Yunlan agreed repeatedly, pulling him straight to her boudoir.
She had not been at home for several months, but the room was still as it was when she left. It was not in an orderly manner. It was still orderly in chaos according to her usual habits, and it did not feel unfamiliar at all.
The moment Li Zhi stepped into the door, he felt a sense of intimacy rushing towards him. It was exactly as he imagined. It seemed that her living habits had been the same since she was a child. He had experienced it when he lived in that elegant courtyard.
.
Jin Yunlan sat at the table and poured herself a cup of tea. The water in the kettle was hot, which must have been done by Yuan Wan. Yuan Wan always boiled a pot of hot water for her young lady whether she was there or not.
You can come back at any time and have fresh tea at any time.
Li Zhi looked around her boudoir curiously. He walked aimlessly to the bedside and saw a corner of a book exposed under the pillow. He curiously took it out and opened it. He looked at the simplified text above, word for word.
She recited silently: "Chu Xin pushed the drunken Huo Ran away in shame and anger. She couldn't accept the fact that he muttered the names of other women in his sleep. She lowered her head to look at her scarred body, sobbing constantly.
Get up. She hugged her red and swollen hands helplessly..."
Blushing, he closed the book, as if worshiping God, and clasped his hands together. He tried his best to calm his erratic breathing and heartbeat, and stuffed the book back into place.
He looked back at the woman who was quietly drinking tea with concern. It was obvious that she was unaware that her unspeakable hobby had been inadvertently known to her sweetheart.
She looked back at him confusedly.
Li Zhi looked away from her innocent gaze.
He walked towards her slowly and sat down next to her. Jin Yunlan poured him a cup of tea with great discernment. As soon as the warm tea entered his throat, his whole body felt warm.
The two of them sat in the room, listening quietly to the sound of falling snow. The world was cold and frosty, but the atmosphere between them was slowly warming up.
Li Zhi suddenly broke the peaceful atmosphere. He uncontrollably rubbed the embossed pattern on the tea cup with his fingertips, and took advantage of the falling snow to say a belated thank you.
Jin Yunlan's mood of quietly drinking tea was rippled by this sentence of thanks. She then thought about it and guessed where his gratitude came from. She slowly drank all the tea at the bottom of the cup, raised her lips and showed a shrewd smile, "
A word of thanks can't send me away. Did you know that in this popular folk tale, treating a benefactor is nothing more than treating a benefactor like a cow or a horse, or giving him your body? A Zhi, you have delicate skin and tender flesh, I don't want to
I'm willing to let you work like a cow or a horse for me, otherwise you would feel aggrieved and choose the second option." She raised her eyebrows.
Li Zhi is a simple boy, a flower of the high mountains, who is very clean and self-sufficient. For him, Jin Yunlan's appearance is undoubtedly plunder. And he has lived in the Li civilization for a long time, and he attaches great importance to his chastity. Think of him
The book she just saw under her pillow was probably a story about her love. But the plot there was really... too embarrassing to talk about. "Promising oneself with one's body" is probably that kind of thing. It seems that Jin Yunlan is really doing it.
She looked like a jackal and a leopard, thinking that if she nodded, she would be eaten up on the spot, so she took off her clothes and left in a leisurely manner.
What if she puts on a skirt and turns her back on her?
He became deeply worried.
Jin Yunlan saw that his expression changed frequently, sometimes worried, sometimes shy, sometimes calm, sometimes nervous, which was very strange.
Li Zhi glanced at her quietly, and when his dark blue eyes met her waiting gaze, it was as if he was electrocuted, making him shrink back and look away. He grabbed the hem of the blue hospital uniform and made up his mind.
Say: "I...I wish..."
"Miss!"
Before he could express his attitude, his words were drowned out by an excited shout from Yuanyuan standing outside the door.
Jin Yunlan hurriedly stepped out of the room, met and hugged the maid who was a sister. Yuanman almost cried with joy, pressing her shoulders and checking her whole body, "Okay? Is everything okay?"
Jin Yunlan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Okay, everything is okay. On the mountain, Li Li and Li Qiang take turns taking care of me. It's hard to think bad."
"That's good, that's good." Yuanyuan sniffed, wiped the tears on her face carelessly, and pulled her around again. She didn't know what she was talking about, but she couldn't restrain her words.
Concerned desire, it took a while for her to suddenly remember the important event, her face suddenly became solemn, and her tone was extremely panicked: "Oh, by the way. The clan came to send a message that the eldest young master has escaped from prison! At this moment, they are gathering people to go there.
Arrested."
Defection is an even greater crime! Her obsessed brother is really desperate!
"Jinyun's dungeon is extremely strong. If you don't have a hundred years of cultivation, you can't even think of breaking out of the cage. How could he escape?" Jinyunlan was shocked.
Yuanyuan shook his head: "I don't know. I just said that when the matter was revealed, the face of the young master trapped in the cage suddenly cracked a gap, and then his face shattered like a piece of porcelain. After it completely peeled off, a gap was revealed.
Showing someone else’s face is very weird.”
"Mutual tolerance technique?" Jin Yunlan reacted instantly.
This technique is similar to the Transformation Technique, except that as the name suggests, two people need to exchange faces. After the user performs this technique on any one person, he or she will immediately obtain that person's face, while the person being performed the technique will bear the person's face.
The operator's face becomes comatose, which can last up to seven days.
This is a technique specially used to detect the enemy's situation, to obtain the identity of important enemy figures, so that they can sneak into important areas without anyone noticing. This is the special skill of the great elder. Jinyun Chong studied under the great elder, and he has learned a lot from it.
He doesn't have great skills.
But this mutual accommodation skill alone is not enough. The key is kept by his father himself. Without the unlocking key, he will never be able to get in touch with the candidate without making any noise when several people take turns to guard him. It must be someone.
Helped him secretly.
"This is bad." Jin Yunlan whispered, and she turned to look at Li Zhi who had already walked out of the room.
Li Zhi nodded understandingly and quickly came to her side. The two of them rushed toward Jinyun Ancestral Hall in unison.
At that time, the door of the ancestral hall was closed, and there was a straight spot of light between the two doors. It seemed that his father was here. After Jin Yunlan and Li Zhi pushed the door open, they broke into his father's office alone.
The patriarch was not surprised when he saw his daughter. His informant had reported her every move to him early in the morning. He saw that she was coming menacingly, so he must have received the news.
Jin Yunlan told him straight to the point, "Father, please allow me to go and arrest Jin Yun Chong."
The clan leader agreed to her request without hesitating for too long, "Okay. The spy just came to report that he had captured the traces left by Chong'er in the southeast direction outside the city. I guess the purpose of his trip may be Junmei Mountain. Bai Tan
He is quite familiar with this route, so we have arranged for him to set off immediately, and you can join his team."
"Okay." Jin Yunlan nodded quickly.
Li Zhi pushed the door open and came in. Facing the anxious father and daughter, he said without refusal: "I want to go too."
The clan leader hesitated for a moment, and his breath was stuck in his throat for a long time before he spit it out. Li Zhi had a special status. Although he could trust him, the elders of the clan valued him very much. If he left the city and escaped from the surveillance range, he might cause trouble.
The elders were excessively panicked. However, there were many dangers on this trip. Li Zhi was very skilled in martial arts. With him, Lan'er's life was guaranteed.
He closed his dry lips, thought for a moment, and then gradually relaxed his frown.
"Okay, let's all go. Be careful on the road and keep in touch."
Jin Yunlan and Li Zhi looked at each other and nodded, then immediately went home to pack their luggage.
The two made an appointment to meet at the pier.
Jin Yunlan rushed into her room in a hurry, hurriedly packing her luggage, and called the maid to come for help.
Xiu Xiu, who was in Jialan Courtyard, heard the noise coming from the yard next door, and stopped writing uneasily. She opened her palms, and unknowingly she had accumulated cold sweat on them.
She raised her head with worried eyes and whispered: "Brother."
