Legend of the Orchid

The [-] Song army marched all the way north. In the next two months, they fought several consecutive victories, repelled many troops from the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and successfully entered the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty. It didn't take long. Then you can directly take Jinyang, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, and confront the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jiyuan head-on.

During these two months, Li Zhonglan obviously felt some changes.

First of all, the talks between Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Tingjie's uncle and nephew became more and more frequent. Although Tingjie refused to disclose the details of their conversation to Zhong Lan, Zhong Lan still guessed that Zhao Tingmei asked Tingjie to do it after the Battle of Jinyang.

Zhao Guangyi had nearly 8 troops in his hands. Although some of his troops were lost in the battle, there were still more than [-] people left, and there were even capable generals such as Pan Mei.Zhao Guangyi is very skilled, if Ting Jie and Zhao Tingmei's uncle and nephew work together to kill him, there should be a chance of winning, but what if someone finds out?

No matter how brave the court is, can it defeat 8 people?

The hairs on Li Zhonglan's back stood upright, and the blood in his body was already half cold. In the middle of the night, he couldn't help hugging Zhao Tingjie, and said in a trembling voice, "Tingjie, I'm afraid!"

Seeing him say that suddenly, Zhao Tingjie was a little surprised, turned his face to look at him, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll lose your life." Li Zhonglan said sadly, pressing her cold face to the neck of the court steps and rubbing it.

Zhao Tingjie smiled, put his arms around Li Zhonglan's waist, held him in his arms, and comforted him: "I won't die, don't worry!"

Li Zhonglan was still worried, so she made a request: "In the future, I will go to the battlefield with you to kill the enemy."

Zhao Tingjie frowned with slightly raised sword eyebrows, and reprimanded: "Nonsense, you are not in good health, how can you go to battle to kill the enemy? Besides, your weak appearance is not suitable for war at all."

Hearing Zhao Tingjie belittle herself so much, Li Zhonglan was so angry that she punched the opponent's chest, and retorted: "I know magic, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with you in fighting? And I can protect you. Didn't you see it in Baimaling last time? "

"Protect me?" Zhao Tingjie raised his sword eyebrows, and said coldly, "Then you fainted, and then let me hug you to kill the enemy? Don't do this stupid thing again!"

Zhong Lan was upset, and bit her lower lip hard, trying to push Ting Jie's arm away, but the other party showed a helpless expression, "compromised" and said: "Okay, if you can escape from me, I will agree with you Kill the enemy."

After all, he gagged Li Zhonglan's mouth. Poor Li Zhonglan didn't even have the strength to protest, so he hummed a few times and fell into Zhao Tingjie's arms.

Now that Li Zhonglan was touched by Zhao Tingjie, her body would be brittle, and she could only let the other party get what she wanted, and if she wanted to escape the other party's shackles, she probably had to wait for her next life.

Although Zhao Tingjie didn't value Li Zhonglan's spells, other soldiers obviously looked at Li Zhonglan with admiration. The army has cultivated a group of admirers.

This made Li Zhonglan very proud, and she couldn't help but proudly said: "It's different to be capable, why don't you let me fight the enemy?"

After listening to Li Zhonglan's boast, Zhao Tingjie frowned, squinted his eyes and looked at the other party, with a dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth: "One more thing, don't want to sleep tonight."

Li Zhonglan was extremely annoyed and shut up obediently.

Another important change came from Zhao Defang. In the past, when this evil star saw Li Zhonglan, he would blush and have a thick neck, wishing to roll up his sleeves and start a fight, but now he changed his appearance. At that time, he disappeared without a trace.

Li Zhonglan's curiosity grew, and she wanted to chase after Zhao Defang to ask for clarification, so she seized an opportunity to stop him, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Fang, why do you see me like a mouse meeting a cat? Is it that scary?"

It's rare that Zhao Defang didn't lose his temper, he actually lowered his head and hesitated: "I still have something to do, let's go first!"

After all, he purposely walked away from Li Zhonglan far away, and was about to move forward.

How could Li Zhonglan let him go?So he stopped him again, and jokingly put his head close to the other's ear, jokingly said: "Is it so embarrassing to be my defeated general? Don't worry, I will not tie you up in the future."

His posture was like a disciple molesting a good woman. Zhao Defang was flustered, and suddenly raised her head and shouted: "Second brother!"

Li Zhonglan's expression froze, and she straightened her figure quickly, keeping a distance from Zhao Defang, who took the opportunity to sneak away without touching the ground, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Tingjie didn't come over at all, and Li Zhonglan couldn't figure it out, so he could only secretly guess whether Zhao Defang injured his head in the war, which led to a drastic change in his temperament.

At the beginning of June, the Song army had already approached Jinyang City. Jinyang was the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty and was known as "Dragon Tooth". In the north was Zhoushan, which was called "Dragon Horn", and in the south was Fenshui, which was called "Dragon Vein". Excellent, no wonder it was able to struggle for a long time in the cracks between the Liao and Song Dynasties.

However, even if Jinyang is a treasure land of geomantic omen, it cannot withstand the strength of the Song army. After several consecutive victories, the morale of everyone from the emperor Zhao Guangyi to ordinary soldiers is high.

Li Zhonglan was even more happy, because he found that in May, the cold poison finally stopped completely, which means that his free period came again. Although he still had to drill into the arms of the courtyard every night, sometimes night attacks were needed on the battlefield It is impossible for Ting Jie to be by his side every night, he can be healthy and free, Ting Jie is naturally relieved a lot.

On this day, Song soldiers marched along the Fenshui River for half a day and were intercepted by a tributary that was not very wide. In view of the scorching sun, Zhao Guangyi did not immediately order to cross the river, but ordered to stop and rest and replenish water.

Since the ferry needed to be made now, the troops had to camp by the river. At this time, Zhao Tingjie said that he had something to go out and asked Li Zhonglan to stay in the barracks. The latter nodded obediently.

After Zhao Tingjie left, Li Zhonglan wiped the sweat from her brow, feeling that the tent was not as cool as the river, so she couldn't stay idle anymore, and walked far away along the river.

There are many hills here, and there are streams flowing into the river from time to time. Li Zhonglan walked happily, and had already walked along the hillside to the woods, completely forgetting that he didn't know the way. Surely they will find a camp, so they have nothing to fear.

After detouring an unknown number of mountain roads, Li Zhonglan heard the sound of water splashing. He climbed up to a high place and saw a short waterfall pouring down from the cliff. There was a narrow pool of water under the waterfall. The large rock protruding from the water divided the pool into two, so that the outer pool just reached Zhong Lan's chest.

This water pool happened to be surrounded by jagged rocks, and the location was relatively hidden, so it was very suitable for taking a bath. Zhong Lan felt that the journey was dusty during the march, so she found a good place to wash her body.

He walked to the edge of the pool and untied his armor with dexterous fingers. The moment the underwear that covered his body was taken off, a large piece of crystal clear snow muscle immediately appeared, and the slender neck and slender waist made him seem fragile. Although the porcelain bottle has beautiful lines, it makes people afraid that it will break when touched.

Li Zhonglan herself was quite relaxed, she threw the ball of her clothes behind the rock, and then slid into the pool like a fish, completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.
