Legend of the Orchid

Dixiang said in the letter that Zhong Lan settled in a small town called Guiwu. Although the town is the closest to the Shenzhang Valley, it is still ten miles away, and there is a river separating the Shenzhang Valley from the outside world. There are no bridges connecting them. If you are not a person with martial arts skills, you can only find experienced boatmen to enter the valley.

Entering the valley is not difficult for Zhao Tingjie, but it must be difficult for Zhong Lan. The thought of Lan'er dragging her weak body across the river makes Tingjie's heart twitch.

He and Jinyan hurriedly arrived in Guiwu Town in more than half a month. It was already approaching the New Year. Although the town was depressed, it was still in a festive atmosphere. More intense.

Zhao Tingjie thought to himself: I don't know what Lan'er will do during the Chinese New Year, but is he still used to the food in the barbarian land?

The town of Guiwu is not big, so he soon found Zhonglan's place on the edge of the town. It was also a wooden building on stilts. The two-story building is Zhonglan's residence.

The sun was very sunny that day, and after the haze of the past few days was swept away, Zhong Lan, dressed in plain clothes, came out with a bamboo sieve, on which were spread spices, and he was about to dry these spices in the sun.

Suddenly, he saw a tall figure standing not far away, the familiar eyes made his heart beat violently. He took the door behind him.

When Die Xiang saw Jin Yan, she ran out excitedly, greeted His Highness, but gave Jin Yan a smiling look.

Ting Jie asked Jin Yan and other guards to stay outside the house, and went in to see Zhong Lan by himself.

Zhong Lan's door was locked and the steps could not be entered, so he could only knock on the door and said, "Lan'er, let me in quickly."

The other party did not respond.

The court steps were knocked on for a while before a low voice of resistance came out from inside: "Let's go!"

Ting Jie was helpless. According to his original temperament, he could have smashed the door open. It didn't matter whether Guan Zhonglan was willing or not, but the failure to seize the throne hit him hard, which made his domineering spirit restrained a lot. Today's He even knew how to negotiate.

"Lan Er, I know you are angry with me, you open the door first, how about we have a good talk?" Ting Jie still insisted.

There was another decisive voice from inside the door: "I don't want to see you, you go!"

Ting Jie sighed heavily, put down the hand on the door, and said, "Lan'er, I come to see you every day, and when you don't get angry with me, let's go to Shenzang Valley, shall we?"

There was no response from the door.

Zhao Tingjie came downstairs full of disappointment. Jin Yan and Die Xiang pretended not to see the embarrassing scene of the master just now, and quickly turned their heads to look at each other. This time they really fell into it. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than two months. All flooded with affectionate brilliance.

At this time, the master coughed, and the two turned their heads away shyly. Zhao Tingjie walked over holding his breath, and asked Die Xiang to comfort Zhong Lan, and then left the carriage behind, regardless of the newlywed couple. He left with Jin Yan, Jin Yan had no choice but to smile apologetically at the beauty, who stuck out her tongue at him mischievously.

Jin Yan was still out of his wits, but His Royal Highness Zhao's sullen voice came: "Jin Yan, go to the inn to find two good rooms."

Jin Yan shuddered and quickly obeyed.

Now that Zhao Tingjie's feelings are frustrated, he can't see other people's sweetness. Fortunately, Jin Yan is relatively dull in sex, which prevents his master from being hit more deeply.

Ghostwood Town is sparsely populated, with only one inn.In the past, Shenzang Valley still had a lot of precious medicines to attract foreign merchants, but since the ghost king Zhangu became queen, let alone outsiders dare not come, even the locals can hardly stay.

Jinyan heard complaints from local residents on the street, saying that in the past few days, the ghost messengers from Shenzang Valley have come to the town to buy things again.

He told these words to his master, after Zhao Tingjie heard it, he said: "The ghost king is self-aware, so we can live in peace with him for the time being."

The two came to the inn, and as the only two guests of the inn, they were treated warmly by the owner of the inn.

Zhao Tingjie asked the shop owner to cook some light dishes, with less oil, less salt, less ginger and less spicy dishes, which made the other party difficult. It turns out that the place is located in the southwest, and the taste is quite strong. Zhao Tingjie proposed to double the money, and the shop owner happily said that he could try it.

After the dishes were ready, Zhao Tingjie asked Jin Yan to deliver them to Li Zhonglan. Jin Yan was eager for this opportunity, so he held back a smile to get the food box.

After Jinyan left, Zhao Tingjie was the only one left in the shop. He was going upstairs to rest after eating, when two women and a man suddenly came in from the door of the shop. Holding a sword and a meteor hammer.

The unlucky shop owner smiled wryly, welcomed the three of them into the house, nodded and bowed for a while, as if he was listening to the emperor's father, and rushed to the kitchen after getting the instructions.

The three spoke a dialect, which Zhao Tingjie didn't quite understand, but based on the strange attire of the three, it must be a ghost.He looked at the other party secretly, and the other party was also squinting at him, and there was a lot of talking in his mouth. Ting Jie knew that the three were talking about himself, so he was not annoyed, so he left the three of them and went upstairs after eating.

The day was long in the southwest, Zhao Tingjie read the book and found that Jin Yan hadn't come back yet, so he asked the boss to fetch hot water, and went to bed early after washing.

When dusk fell, a blowpipe pierced the window paper and hissed out a lot of white smoke. The blowpipe squinted through the damaged window paper for a long time, and saw Zhao Tingjie lying motionless on the bed. Nodding, the three black shadows pried open the door lock and entered the room.

As soon as the three of them entered the room, they heard a tearing sound coming from the darkness. One fell to the ground immediately, and the other two were shocked. The object hit the shin and fell to the ground.

The three stood up firmly, another figure flew into the room, raised his sword and stabbed at the three of them, Zhao Tingjie shouted: "Jin Yan, no!"

Jin Yan quickly stopped, but kicked the three thieves to one place, he lit the fire, and the ghosts of the day appeared in front of Zhao Tingjie.

"Jin Yan, tell them that Mr. Zhao will visit their valley owner in a few days." Ting Jie's voice was not loud, but very majestic.

So Jin Yan translated it, and the three of them were very alert. The male ghost envoy boldly murmured, and Jin Yan hurriedly said: "He asked who we are."

"When we go, the owner of the valley will naturally know." Ting Jie said.

Jin Yan sent the words back, and sternly shouted again, the three ghost messengers didn't respond, and scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhao Tingjie shook his head lightly and asked, "How is Laner?"

Jin Yan replied, "I'm still not feeling well today, and I'm coughing up blood again."

The master's face sank when he heard that.

"But the spirit is not bad. Die Xiang said that Mr. Lan played Yun Xiao for a while in the afternoon."

The master's face softened slightly.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Tingjie went to see Li Zhonglan again, and unexpectedly encountered those ghosts again.

When the ghost saw Zhao Tingjie, he ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. Zhao Tingjie was puzzled and asked Die Xiang, "What are they doing here?"

Dioxin replied: "It's to bring medicine to Mr. Lan."

Ting Jie became suspicious: "Didn't the ghost king not treat Lan'er?"

Die Xiang hesitated and said, "These medicines are only enough to prolong Master Lan's life."

Zhao Tingjie's eyebrows twitched, his handsome face was like a stone carving, his eyes were sharp: "What exactly does the ghost king want?"

Die Xiang's eyes flickered, she lowered her head, and replied truthfully: "Master promised to save Young Master Lan, but the condition is that Young Master Lan will stay with Master from now on and never go out of the valley again."

Zhao Tingjie was thoughtful after hearing this, and soon a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Jin Yan was shocked, worried that Mr. Lan would be punished by his master again, he saw the master walking towards Mr. Lan's house quickly, and hurriedly dragged Die Xiang to persuade him to fight.

Unexpectedly, what happened next surprised them even more.
