Chapter 31: Received a vicious dog
Jiang Lan also saw through his intention, which was to deliberately send everyone away and leave her alone.
"Can you put on your clothes first?" Jiang Lan glanced at the bandages wrapped around his body and immediately looked away. Seeing him shirtless, she blushed a little.
As soon as Qi Wuhan raised his hand, he hissed, as if he had pulled a wound. Seeing that he was holding his shoulder as if in pain, Jiang Lan took two steps closer and then stopped. She leaned forward again, wanting to get closer but not daring to get too close, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Suddenly she fell into his arms, her face pressed against his thin chest. Her whole face was red, like a steamed crab, and she didn't know where to look. She struggled in his arms for a while, and he hissed again as if he had pulled his wound. She didn't dare to move for fear of making his injury worse.
"Scoundrel." She cursed under her breath.
Looking at the blushing little beauty in his arms, who looked even more charming than usual, Qi Wuhan swallowed slightly. A bright and deep light appeared in his peach blossom eyes, and his pupils were stirring. The corners of his eyes were also stained with a little bright red, as if he was moved.
"I want to kiss you."
“…”
Jiang Lan was shocked. How could this person say such shameless words so easily?
"You dare!" She raised her hand to stand between the two of them, ready to slap him if he dared to lower his head.
Looking at her clear eyes that were as frightened and shy as a fawn, he gave up and did not take action. After restraining his deep eyes for a moment, he said seriously, "The moon is beautiful tonight."
“…”
Jiang Lan quietly moved her hand away a little, and seeing that he was really looking up at the moon, she didn't dare to be careless. She waited for a while before slowly putting her hand down.
"From now on, I will call you Xiaolan'er." Qi Wuhan smiled brightly.
"You dare!" Jiang Lan's face turned dark.
Feeling his arms loosen, she immediately got out of his arms, and the next moment she heard him say, "Come out."
A figure walked out from behind the bamboo.
The moonlight gradually illuminated the dark-skinned face. Although the facial features were not as handsome as jade, they had a kind of sharp edge as if they were carved with a knife and an axe. The two sword-like eyebrows were black and thick, revealing an unruly wildness, especially the pair of narrow eyes like knives. Like a vicious dog, they showed their sharp white teeth and did not hide their ambitions at all.
Is it him?
An expression of surprise and confusion appeared on Jiang Lan's face.
Qi Wuhan glanced at the expression on her face and asked with a hint of amusement, "Do you know him?"
"I've seen it before." She replied in a normal tone, with nothing to hide.
"Greetings, My Lord." Ji Quan walked over and saluted, his eyelids drooping, covering up the sharp edge in his pupils, just like a vicious dog temporarily sheathing its fangs and claws to appear docile, making it seem even more dangerous.
Jiang Lan noticed that one of his hands was injured and was simply bandaged with a cloth strip. She suddenly remembered that the man in black had also injured his hand by cutting his palm with a dagger.
She frowned slightly and thought carefully about the scene. The man had his back to her, and he was holding the knife with... his left hand. There was no mistake. The injured hand must be his right hand. She observed Ji Quan's injured hand again. It was also his right hand...
Is it a coincidence?
"You came to me stealthily, are you seeking promotion, wealth, or glory and riches?" Qi Wuhan asked nonchalantly.
"I want to follow the Marquis." Ji Quan raised his head, his eyes sharp, and he did not hide his desire for power.
"Then what can you do to help me?" Qi Wuhan asked casually.
"I will become the sharpest knife in the Marquis's hand." Ji Quan replied.
"I'm not used to using a knife, but I'm in need of a vicious dog to guard my house." Qi Wuhan said jokingly.
"Then it will be as the Marquis wishes. I am willing to be this vicious dog." Ji Quan replied.
"Interesting," Qi Wuhan curled his lips and said, "Come and see me again when I return to the capital."
"Thank you, my Lord." Ji Quan bowed and took his leave.
Jiang Lan stared at his back as he walked away. Although they looked about the same height, she couldn't be 100% sure that it was the same person.
"I have adopted a vicious dog. I wonder if it will bite me back in the future. It's really interesting." Qi Wuhan said with interest.
Jiang Lan felt a little worried. She glanced at his relaxed appearance and felt that her worry was a bit unnecessary. But she still reminded him, "Be careful and you will be safe."
"Xiao Lan'er, are you worried about me?" Qi Wuhan looked at her with a smile, like a male vixen wagging his fox tail to seduce people.
Jiang Lan's face turned dark, she kicked him and left without looking back.
…
When Jiang Shen woke up, it was already daybreak and he had no idea what had happened the previous night.
Although the library was destroyed, fortunately no one was hurt. The ten monks suffered injuries of varying degrees, but their lives were not in danger. The students of the academy did not suffer any skin injuries, but were just frightened, except for Cui Yan.
No one else dared to go out, so he was the only one who rushed out with a sword. He had been in the military camp for several years before, and had led troops to suppress bandits. He was also good at boxing and kicking. He killed seven or eight men in black with a sword. In the end, he was so angry that he chased and hacked people. The man in black who was being chased jumped into the water, thinking that he could get rid of him. The next moment, he heard a splash behind him, and the man caught up with him again.
The man in black was doggy paddling desperately in front, and Cui Yan was chasing him madly from behind.
The man in black was really puzzled. Was this man sick? Why was he chasing him like a mad dog?
Just as he was about to swim to the shore, the man in black suddenly leaned back and was pulled back by Cui Yan, who grabbed one of his legs. The two men started fighting in the water again.
Until a pool of blood spread on the water surface and the man in black sank to the bottom of the water, Cui Yan dragged his tired body to the shore, lay on the ground and gasped for breath. After soaking in the water for a while, he finally calmed down and could no longer run.
He was later discovered by the Black Armor Guards and carried back on a stretcher.
The wounded were all arranged to stay at Wenhan Hall, where Mr. Bai was taking care of them, and Doctor Liu was also sent there by Jiang Lan.
Early this morning, the butler and his group heard from Manager Hao that the academy caught fire last night, so they immediately rushed to the academy. They were stopped outside the door by two black-armored guards guarding the door. After the butler identified himself and explained his purpose, the black-armored guard went in to report and then led the group in.
Seeing that Jiang Lan and Jiang Shen were safe and sound, the housekeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qing'er and Gui'er also felt relieved.
Mr. Lin's condition has also stabilized.
Late last night, the black-armored guards Ling Feng sent to pick someone up finally found the person outside the city and brought him to the academy.
When she saw him, Jiang Lan blurted out excitedly, "Brother Ye".
Ling Feng looked at her strangely.
Ye Rushui actually observed her face carefully, and a strange color flashed across his eyes, as if he had discovered some rare and difficult disease.
Realizing she had let the cat out of the bag, Jiang Lan immediately changed the subject and said, "The patient is over here."
When Ye Rushui saw that Master Lin was still breathing, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. If the other party still had half a breath left, he would be even more interested.
He gave Master Lin seven injections and brought him back from the brink of death.
