[Douluo] Dream of Thorns

Well...Although she is a little unhappy, this is the Ji Tong she knows.

This time Ji Tong really left, probably to deal with her so-called things; while Zhu Zhuqing sat there in a daze thinking about her way out.In fact, if Jitong really said so, she would definitely not take the initiative to find herself, it is obvious; in other words, if she leaves, goes far enough, or hides deep enough, then she and this girl will have nothing to do No intersection.This time the choice is still crucial, and the time limit seems to be relaxed a bit - three days, she will spend three days to read her heart.

Why is it so difficult.

It was difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to sort out her thoughts in this dark stone room, or in other words, in Jitong's territory, she was always easily influenced by something.This involuntarily gave her the idea of ​​going out for a walk first, and then stood at the door, sadly finding that she didn't know her way.This is obvious, because she didn't come here sober at all; and she had never been to this place.

So Zhu Zhuqing stayed at the door for a while.This continued until a child outside knocked on the door to call her, she never knew what she was thinking.The little girl outside was carrying a small lamp, dressed decently, and said in a soft voice, "Good day, Lord Qiangwei told me to take good care of you these few days."

Qiangwei probably refers to Ji Tong, which is what the woman called before.Zhu Zhuqing took a look at her and felt that there was no threat; now he was also very upset, so he wanted to talk to this little girl. "I don't really need a servant to serve me now." She squatted down halfway—the girl was too young, maybe only six or seven years old, "Can you take me out for a walk?"

The little girl looked at her furtively. "Perhaps your lord needs to take a shower and change clothes first?"

Zhu Zhuqing blinked his eyes to understand this sentence, then passed the little lamp in the girl's hand and moved closer to his body.Only then did she see how the white skirt on her body had been ruined. Let alone the tone of the color that had been completely changed, one could imagine what Ji Tong had done to her from those torn marks.This kind of clothes is really not allowed to go out, even if you don't care about these things at all here, Zhu Zhuqing doesn't have the face.So she could only sigh and return the lamp: "...Maybe you are right."

The girl made a bow and said to lead the way, then turned around and ran away.She is really small, which makes her trotting speed not a big deal to Zhu Zhuqing, and at the same time, it also allows her to observe the surrounding environment carefully.This place is obviously not a good place. From the moss on the wall, the vague smell and the occasional iron railings, she can guarantee that this is a dungeon, and the level is not low. At least there are water dungeons and torture chambers. Not just ordinary detention.The room she stayed in seems to be extraordinarily high-end, both the environment and the location show that it is different from other rooms; this may also explain some of Ji Tong's careful thinking, her room is the innermost one between.

This road is a gentle slope upwards, and it is extraordinarily detoured after leaving this area; but the common point is that it has always been underground.In Shrek's teaching, such things as remembering the way have never been taught, so it is quite difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to remember, and he didn't remember much intermittently. In the end, he could only guess where he was based on the changes in the decoration.The floor tiles remain the same, all of which are high-quality bluestones; the walls are also made of very good bricks, but the blood stains on them have gradually disappeared, and some decorations with strange patterns have gradually been added.The smell in the air also gradually changed from a faint fishy smell to the smell of dust, then the smell of medicine, and then the smell of flowers; and the lights became darker and darker.

"This is Lord Qiangwei's residence." The little girl introduced as she walked, "The dungeon just now is still Mengniang's territory, but in fact it is also under the hands of Lord Qiangwei; nearly one-third of this black street is occupied by Lord Qiangwei. Meng Niang was in charge a few years ago, but now she has resigned and delegated power to Lord Qiangwei; she raised Lord Qiangwei and has good medical skills, so she has a very high status here!"

"Whose subordinate are you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked her.Ever since the fragrance of flowers began to bloom, every location in this area has a little bit of Ji Tong's preference, as if there is Ji Tong's shadow everywhere.After observing for a while, she couldn't continue to observe, and silently changed the subject.The little girl said: "I am the person who is in charge of serving Mengniang, I borrowed it from Lord Qiangwei to take care of Mengniang. Besides, my lord, we are almost there."

Zhu Zhuqing sniffed the smell in the air, and noticed a faint trace of water vapor and some medicinal fragrance. "Where is this?" She looked at the surrounding layout, and it seemed that there was nothing special; the corridor was the same for hundreds of meters.The little girl didn't find it troublesome, and she didn't seem to be afraid of revealing anything to outsiders. She answered Zhu Zhuqing's questions generously: "This is Lord Qiangwei's residence. She has a pool with a bottom of white jade, which is specially used to relieve fatigue— —I heard that Meng Niang built it for her a few years ago, and said that Master Qiangwei was too obsessed and couldn't bear it. Maybe it was because of being too tired. I heard that those few years were the most chaotic times here , Many of Meng Niang's handicap was made by Lord Qiangwei."

Zhu Zhuqing complied and signaled her to listen; however, she felt a little strange in her heart.How could Ji Tong be the kind of person who would have a headache because she couldn't control the trouble, and how could she be a girl who was tired because she couldn't sit in a high position?This has nothing to do with the changes in the power of the Black Street, there is no doubt about it.But if it wasn't for this, then her obsession...

Zhu Zhuqing didn't dare to think about it.

She was distracted on this side, and the little girl on the other side was almost leading her to the door.This place is quite tossing, two secret doors and one mechanism, behind is the misty pool.As soon as she passed the last door, she was startled by the water vapor in the room, and after she got used to the light here, she was startled by the incomparably huge water surface.I don't know when the ground changed from bluestone to white marble, and ten steps away from the door is a jade pool.This is a square pond, quite big, with sculptures of green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird and Xuanwu in four directions. Warm water is sprayed from the mouth, and the water outlet is not known where it is located.With this speed of changing the water, the daily water consumption of this pool is definitely not small; plus if there seems to be no medicinal gas in the water, the cost should be extraordinarily high.The little girl seemed to know that she would be so surprised, and the people who were very active along the way stopped talking at this time.When Zhu Zhuqing came back to his senses and vaguely accused the extravagance and waste of this project, the little girl laughed. "Master Qiangwei also said the same thing. This place is not open on weekdays. This time, the water in this pool was released. I'm afraid it's because of you."

Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a while.She really didn't know how to answer this kind of words, so she didn't answer it at all.

"Lord Qiangwei cares about you a lot." A lonely expression suddenly flashed on the little girl's face, but it disappeared immediately, so fast that Zhu Zhuqing almost thought she was dazzled. "Ah... In short, your lord has prepared your clothes for you, and the cleaning utensils are also here... Your lord said that you don't want others to touch you, so I retreated outside the door; if something happens, you Can you call me again?" The little girl looked at Zhu Zhuqing, probably because she knew that her behavior just now was not right, so she quickly changed the subject; Zhu Zhuqing felt too embarrassed, so she took advantage of this step to get down.She nodded and said, "You go."

The little girl ran to an unknown place, brought some clothes and cleaning medicines, and ran away again.

The clothes Ji Tong prepared for her were still white, but they were folded into one piece. I don't know what style it is.She looked at it for a while, then shook her head - how could she think about this, does she really care so much about Ji Tong's opinion of her?After all, for Zhu Zhuqing who is more inclined to stay away from Ji Tong in his heart, anyone who can get involved with feelings will make her make a fuss, and it has happened quite a few times in the short journey so far.After shaking out the useless things in her mind, she squatted down, stretched out her hand and gently touched the water in the pool.

Warm and transparent.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't smell what this medicinal gas was, but her intuition was not bad for her; in fact, from the part where her hand touched the water surface, the self-operation of her soul power had already sped up a little.In addition, Ji Tong has no reason to attack her. In short, this is harmless to her, so there is no doubt about it.She also gently removed the overly damaged clothes on her body, and immersed her whole body in it.

I have to say that Ji Tong protected her body very well. The clothes have become such a terrible state and her body is not damaged at all. This has to make Zhu Zhuqing doubt whether Thorn Rose has the ability to reversely transmit energy up.But even so, at the moment when her whole body was submerged in the water, Zhu Zhuqing still felt a sense of comfort spreading from the bottom of her heart.It seemed to dispel her five years of fatigue, the slightly flowing water gently massaged her skin, bringing some good and taking away some bad.This long-lost relaxation made Zhu Zhuqing almost lose the ability of self-control and vigilance in an instant, and she lasted more than a second in this abnormal state.

Thinking about what the little girl said, this thing really has a good effect on relieving fatigue.Even if she is in the Xingluo Imperial Family, there are very few pharmacists who can dispense medicines that can match this effect.

This inevitably made Zhu Zhuqing start to re-evaluate Ji Tong's ability, and self-cleaning, which seemed to be the main task now, became absent-minded.She only left a small part of Ji Tong's territory, and these are mainly reflected in her iron blood and extraordinary financial resources in power.However, because it is a black street, the means of governance may be regional style, which does not explain anything; but from the side, it is enough to show Ji Tong's management ability and personal combat effectiveness.The little girl said that Ji Tong had robbed the woman surnamed Meng of a lot of places, which shows that the girl's strength should not be underestimated; this does not refer to a one-on-one soul master battle, but a conflict on a scale, or the scope of the war. prototype.

Maybe Star Luo Empire needs her.While thinking about Ji Tong's current situation, Zhu Zhuqing was distracted, and unconsciously came out this sentence in his mind.She didn't realize this at first, and was really taken aback when she realized what she was thinking.She even put her whole head in the water to wake herself up, but it didn't help.This sentence just hovered in her mind stubbornly, and then stripped something away in Zhu Zhuqing's countless times of combing.

Maybe, Zhu Zhuqing needs her.

This is what she really thinks about.It's just that because she stood for the Star Luo Empire for most of the five years, this idea, which made her feel a little shy, was packaged into this appearance.There are some differences between the two. For example, what Zhu Zhuqing needs is Ji Tong himself, and nothing else is attached; if it is the Star Luo Empire, they need Ji Tong's ability and influence.

Well, the difference is quite big.

In the end, it was clarified that such a result, Zhu Zhuqing was not really surprised.Her feelings for Ji Tong were revealed so cruelly that she still resisted thinking about it now; but her heart didn't show that she had no love for him.It is a fact that she loves Ji Tong; Ji Tong also loves her, but in some ways it is very intense.Of course, judging from the present, Miss Ji is quite gentle and careful in some details; but these few factors alone cannot prompt her to make this three-day decision immediately.In fact, what she needs to know more is how much she, Zhu Zhuqing, loves her.
