[System] Where is my vest?

"Miss, the young master is asleep." Luo Su leaned slightly towards Yuan'er.

"I know." Yuan'er put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "And I also know that you didn't help him put him in a comfortable position when he was sleeping."

Russell was puzzled: "How do you know..."

"Secret!" Yuan'er walked around Russell and said, "Brother always sleeps very hard, no matter how you play with him, he won't wake up."

"Really..." Russell followed behind Yuan'er and prepared to help.

Suddenly, Yuan'er's original smiling expression suddenly changed, and she kicked the door of the room roughly.At the same time, several wooden vines, under her control, stabbed at an extra figure in the room.

Russell gasped.

When Yuan'er broke into the door, a masked man in black was holding a long needle. Seeing his movements, he was about to pierce the needle into Jiang Lan's head.

When stabbed by the sharp wooden vine, the man in black did not retreat but advanced, throwing the long needle in his hand at the sleeping Jiang Lan.

It's a pity that someone was faster, Yuan'er grabbed the long needle, and at the same time the wooden rattan danced, throwing him out of the room.

"Go and call someone." Yuan'er said to Luo Su who was on the side. She put Jiang Lan, who was not sleeping well, into a well-behaved posture, tucked the quilt for someone, and then turned and left the room.

Yuan'er Shi Shiran stepped into the main hall, and the man in black before him was paralyzed on the ground recklessly. Seeing her coming, Sun Pei hurried up to greet her: "Ms. Jiang..."

Although she is the adopted sister of the city lord, Sun Pei doesn't know anything about Jiang Yuan'er. With the precedents of the Lu family and Yin Chang'an, Sun Pei has to be wary of the people around Jiang Lan, for fear that his own city lord will still be as lacking as before. Easy to trust others.

Yuan'er raised her eyelids, glanced at Sun Pei, and glanced at the others.

In the main hall, there was a strange silence.

Ding Hong met Yuan'er's gaze, and felt inexplicably tense. He wondered if it was because of Jiang Lan's absence. Yuan'er gave him a completely different feeling from before. He couldn't say exactly what it was like, but Not feeling well.He looked at the person paralyzed on the ground, and he didn't know what Yuan'er had done. The person couldn't move, only a pair of eyes could move slightly, and he couldn't even close them, let alone hide them under his lips and teeth. The poison of the time... kills from here.

Yuan'er twirled the long needle that was left from the man in black's hand, and carefully turned it for a while to observe. Following Yuan'er's movements, under the reflection of the light, dense lines appeared on the needle body.

Yuan'er asked: "Who of you know what's the use of this?"

Sun Pei hesitated for a moment, took the things, looked at them over and over for a long time: "This... seems to be for interrogation."

Yuan'er narrowed her eyes, obviously dissatisfied with the answer: "What is it like?"

"Can I take a look?" Shen Mo who had been standing behind Ding Hong suddenly asked.

Shen Mo was the leader of the hidden guards before, and his understanding of interrogation instruments is much higher than that of Sun Pei, who is the housekeeper.

But Shen Mo's previous behavior of betrayal made Sun Pei ready to ignore him.

Yuan'er raised her chin at Ding Hong, "Didn't brother say that if he is not here, Ding Hong will be in charge?"

Compared with Yuan'er, Ding Hong made Sun Pei feel inexplicably fond of Ding Hong, and he was more willing to trust her.

Under Ding Hong's signal, the long needle landed in Shen Mo's hand, "This is very similar to the soul-searching needle used for interrogation..."

Compared with the soul search technique, although the effect of the soul search needle is somewhat reduced, there is no danger of backlash, and the user is safer. It is the simplest and most brutal method in interrogation.

"The soul-searching needle, the person who gets the needle, will say what others ask, without reservation, and you can't hide it." Shen Mo frowned: "But there is a slight change in the formation on the needle, and I don't know What effect."

"If so, it would be great if Tong'er is here." The long needle twirled around in everyone's hands, and finally returned to Yuan'er's hand, and said casually: "As for the effect, don't you know if you try it?"

She knelt down in front of the man in black who had caught her: "Isn't there a test subject right here?"

Ding Hong watched in horror as Yuan'er moved casually, raising and dropping the needle.

……

Jiang Lan stretched her waist: "So, what do you want to say?"

After throwing herself on the bed, Jiang Lan fell into a dark sleep, her eyes closed and opened, and three days passed like this.

"Ah?" Ding Hong was taken aback by Jiang Lan's attitude.

Jiang Lan looked at the dazed Ding Hong, and sighed: "Do you think Yuan'er did something wrong?"

"I... didn't mean that." Ding Hong felt a little displeased. He would tell Jiang Lan about Yuan'er, and he was also concerned about Jiang Lan. He wanted to remind Yuan'er to behave in front of him and other people. However, Jiang Lan's attitude made him feel like he was gossiping behind people's backs. He was a little annoyed: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Jiang Lan smiled softly: "I know you care about me, but in this world, no one knows Yuan'er's true appearance better than me."

"Yuan'er is relatively insecure, so she will make some tentative moves from time to time."

"Testing?" Ding Hong was a little strange, "Testing who?"

"Me." Under Ding Hong's puzzled gaze, Jiang Lan explained: "This time, she manipulated my body last time, too. Even if you don't tell me, I will know about it from other ways. Or rather, she'll let me know."

Jiang Lan looked at the entanglement in Ding Hong's eyes: "Of course, she may also be testing the people around me."

Ding Hong pointed at himself in surprise: "Me?"

"You just took the bait." Jiang Lan shrugged.

Take the bait?That's not a good word.Ding Hong approached Jiang Lan, gnashing his teeth in his tone: "So you enjoyed watching the play, right?"

"You've wronged me, I was still sleeping at that time."

Just when Ding Hong was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, "My lord?"

Jiang Lan stretched out her hand and pushed Ding Hong aside, and ran to open the door with great interest.

Before Ding Hong could see the person clearly, he could already smell the fragrance of food.

Russell carried the tray and stepped into the room.

There are two bowls of hot noodle soup on the tray.

Ding Hong looked at the noodle soup placed in front of him, and raised his eyebrows: "You still have my share?"

The sentence "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, are you a pig?" was swallowed by Ding Hong just like that, after all, eating people has a soft mouth.But when he saw clearly what was in his own bowl and Jiang Lan's bowl, he immediately cried out.

"why why why?!"

I saw that in Jiang Lan's bowl, there were meat and vegetables, and there was a golden poached egg on the surface.Ding Hong looked down at his bowl again. There were white noodles in clear soup, and there were a few cabbages floating on the soup.

Jiang Lan took a bite of the poached egg: "Aren't you just trying to get some oil and water now?"

Others practice hard work to get bigu, but Ding Hong is doing the opposite. He is carrying out his great cause of fighting against bigu, starting with rice soup, then white porridge, and now the noodle soup with a little bit of oil. He is taking one step at a time. Get back your digestive power step by step.

Angrily, he stuffed noodles with chopsticks into his mouth. While eating, Ding Hong discussed with Jiang Lan what he asked from the man in black: "What are you going to do about Qianji Pavilion, Boss?"

"The icing on the cake, nothing compares to sending charcoal in the snow. I don't understand such a simple truth. Don't worry about them."

The man in black before was sent by Qianji Pavilion, but the order he received was not to assassinate, but to deliver a letter.And his behavior was nothing more than self-assertion.

"In addition to the role of interrogation, that needle can also control people." This is the result of Yuan'er's trial, and Ding Hong blamed it meaningfully: "Boss, you are too careless, if it is not Yuan'er this time..."

"Well, it's my fault, my vigilance is too low." Jiang Lan accepted the criticism humbly: "But this time there are also unexpected gains."

Jiang Lan has always been very curious, the magic way is declining, but it is not enough to count on one hand, what about other magic cultivators?

Unexpectedly, Qianji Pavilion is actually a demonic cultivator force. While providing information to the Taoist cultivator, they also went back to the Taoist cultivator's movements to facilitate the cover for the demonic cultivator forces.

And Jiang Lan's behavior of defending Yang Wenqing inadvertently aroused the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Qianji Pavilion.

No one wants to live like a mouse in the gutter all the time, and Moxiu also hopes that there will be a place where they can walk in the sun with their true colors.

And the news sent by Qianji Pavilion this time said that other forces in the cultivation world are ready to move, and there are signs of overthrowing Tianjizong.The Tianji sect needs to use a force to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys, and Xuanwu City is the "chicken" that the Tianji sect favors.

Although Qianji Pavilion sent a message to remind them, they were prepared to watch the fire from the other side and regard this as an opportunity to "test" Xuanwu City.

Qianji Pavilion also needs to estimate the value of Xuanwu City.

"You said, how about we tell Tianjizong the true face of Qianji Pavilion?" Ding Hong suddenly lost his appetite when he thought of what he might face next.

Jiang Lan glanced at him: "Do you think it's useful?"

Ding Hong's shoulders suddenly collapsed: "Surely not, I offended Qianji Pavilion first, maybe they will trip us up."

Moreover, they didn't understand the strength of Qianji Pavilion at all.However, from Qianji Pavilion, being able to quietly send letters into the city lord shows how good their concealment skills are. If this skill is used for assassination, the trouble must be huge.

Jiang Lan said: "Although I have no prejudice against demon cultivators, the oppressive environment can easily make people develop extreme personalities. There are definitely not a few demon cultivators who want to directly control the lord of Xuanwu City to achieve their goals."

Seeing that Jiang Lan was not nervous at all, Ding Hong asked, "Aren't you worried at all?"

Jiang Lan shrugged: "I'm turning stress into appetite."

Ding Hong's eyes were full of disbelief: "Boss, if you have any cards, tell them quickly. It's interesting to see me trembling like this every day?"

"...Okay, let me tell you." After Jiang Lan finished eating the noodles, she didn't even spare the soup: "If it doesn't work, I'll go to Yaozu to borrow people."

"Yaozu?" Ding Hong expressed his doubts, "My Xuanwu City has the most friction with Yaozu, how is it possible for Yaozu?"

"You're overthinking it. The beast tide is just the demon clan clearing out more living space with the help of humans. This will not arouse the hatred of the demon clan."

The Yaozu don't hate Xuanwu City, but Ding Hong can't wait to be on guard against the Yaohuang all the time: "Then if you say borrow it, others will borrow it?"

Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment, but decided to confess: "Yuan'er, she is the Demon Emperor."

Ding Hong's interview face, which had always been blurred, finally cracked.

"Then what, I see that you have been rejecting the Demon Emperor, so I want to find a suitable opportunity to tell you." Jiang Lan touched his nose, a little guilty, but he quickly puffed up his chest: "Look , you said so many bad things in front of her, and she didn't do anything to you, so Yuan'er is not bad."

The author has something to say: Ding Hong: Laozi believes in your evil!
