The chef girl has her own system

Chapter 55
Lian Zhi was drinking the medicine in the bowl when she heard the drum on the city gate beating.

This is an assembly order, something happened in the city?
"What's going on outside?"

You Mingxian looked at the drop of dark brown medicinal juice hanging from the corner of Lian Zhi's mouth, raised her hand, and wiped it away with her thumb. "The people from Yuanqu Mountain have repented. Now that Nangong Xiao is tied up, they should be negotiating terms again."

Lian Zhi felt You Mingxiang's fingertips brushing against the corner of her mouth, and felt a little strange in her heart.He moved his head back a little to create distance.

Lian Zhi didn't expect You Mingxiang to have such a move, and You Mingxiang discovered it belatedly that he actually made such an ambiguous move.Simply, extremely embarrassing.

The two were silent for a moment, and then they were attracted by the second drumbeat.

Lian Zhi got out of bed and put on embroidered shoes, and was about to go to the city gate to have a look.

"No, it's windy above the city gate, you look like this, do you still want to faint from high fever?! What news do you want to know, I'll go and find out, and I'll tell you when I come back." You Mingxiang forced Lian Zhi to sit on the side of the bed.

Before leaving, when the door was closing, You Mingxiang said two words to Lian Zhi: be obedient.

Lian Zhi sat there, dazed for a long time.

She is not really 15 years old, nor is she an ignorant girl.

You Mingxiang's treatment of her recently is definitely not the emotion of a guard or a friend.

Lian Zhi has no prejudices about status, status, or family background.For You Mingxiang, she just treats him as a friend and a partner like everyone else.

Although in name, You Mingxiang is Lian Zhi's bodyguard, but now, he hasn't been paid wages for several months.He didn't even mention it, which shows that he not only doesn't care about money.And, think of her as more than just an employer.

But Lian Zhi knew nothing about You Mingxiang's hidden identity.

Even if she didn't care about You Mingxiang's identity, he refused to reveal even a real name.How could she deliver her sincerity? !
Lian Zhi stood up and murmured: "Be obedient? Impossible."

With You Mingxiang's robe still on her shoulders, Lian Zhi opened the door and held the door frame in a daze.

"If I had known, it would be so painful to be a good person, and the sacrifice would be so great, and the people in this city would be starved to death." He said, but he still walked to the outside of the mansion to check the situation.

Walking halfway, I met the queen who was being helped out by Dong Ming.

The queen's physical condition was not much better than Lian Zhi's.

"Lian Zhi, do you know what's going on outside? The drums are ringing?!" The queen took a few steps quickly and grabbed Lian Zhi's wrist.

Thinking of the situation outside, if the queen knew that Nangong Xiao outside the city had been kidnapped, she would definitely be very anxious.Lian Zhi smiled slightly and told a white lie. "Queen, don't worry. I'm afraid that these people in the city will be as busy as the two of us when they are idle all day long. Therefore, I asked Nangong Zixi to gather soldiers and start the drill from today."

The queen is friendly and gentle.Lian Zhi likes such a queen, and naturally hopes that she will be healthy.

It's just a lie, she's the best at it, isn't she?

"Really?" the queen asked uncertainly.

Lian Zhi patted the Queen's hand nervously holding her wrist: "Really, can I still lie to the Queen? Let the First Prince help you back to the room to rest, and I'll go out to watch their practice. When I come back, tell me Here you go."

The queen was relieved, but suddenly reacted. "No way, how can you go out by yourself. You are also very weak now, and you need rest more than me. You are the hope and belief of our whole city, so you can't fall down."

Lian Zhi was actually a little tired, trying to support herself.It was really hard to speak, so he gestured to the taciturn Dong Ming with his eyes to persuade him.

Ever since the queen fell ill, Dong Ming has been so worried that he can't sleep at night.He didn't speak all day, but his temper seemed to be quite calm.

Seeing Lian Zhi's eyes, Dong Ming finally said: "Mother, Lian Zhi naturally knows her body well, she won't take any risks. Erchen will help you go back to rest first, and then Erchen will accompany Lian Zhi to go out. In this way, you Should you feel at ease?"

After finally persuading the queen to leave, Lian Zhi covered the corner of her mouth and coughed.

The heart and lungs are damaged, and there is no good medicine. After a long time, I am afraid that I will suffer from a cough.

Walking on the street, the people in the city stood on both sides of the street, looking in the direction of the city gate worriedly.Seeing Lian Zhi approaching, they all asked what was going on outside the city.

Ordinary people can't go up the city tower, and they can't see the situation outside at all.

What they were afraid of was that people from outside the city would suddenly come in and burn, kill and loot.Because, in the long river of history, almost after the city was broken, there were always such scenes.

Lian Zhi calmed down the people and made them believe in herself and the city lord, who will surely protect the safety of the people in the city.

It's easy for the people to trust Lian Zhi, but trust that idiot city lord? !just forget it.

Some people curled their lips and had deep opinions on the city lord.

When Lian Zhi reached the city gate, she was already sweating from exhaustion.

The soldiers guarding the city saw Lian Zhi, and after saluting respectfully, they immediately ran up the tower to report.

The first to rush down was You Mingxiang.

When he saw the fine beads of sweat on Lian Zhi's forehead, his face turned black. "Didn't I tell you to stay in the house obediently? Why did you run out?!" There was blame in the voice.

Lian Zhi smiled indifferently: "Don't be angry, you know me, how can you stay here? What's the situation outside?"

Seeing Lian Zhi's smile, You Mingxiang couldn't hold back her dark face again.

He helped Lian Zhi to climb up the tower. "Luo Xiang and the others in the city are putting their knives on Nangong Xiao's neck, shouting that the bet with you doesn't count."

Lian Zhi stopped to take a rest, then turned to You Mingxiang, "Why did you say it doesn't count all of a sudden? They are such scoundrels, but they want to go back on their word?"

You Mingxiang saw that Lian Zhi's strength was exhausted, bent down and picked him up and replied: "Luo Yijun said that you are a goddess who descended to earth, and betting with a mortal like him is cheating. Nangong Xiao's body is full of scars, which should be caused by torture. Presumably , They already know the situation in the city."

You Mingxiang boarded the tower with a few steps, and put Lian Zhi down slowly.

Lian Zhi had already heard it, and the people in the city were still shouting.

You Mingxiang kept his eyes on Lian Zhi, and suddenly saw her put her index finger to her mouth and bite it hard.

At that moment, it seemed to bite You Mingxiang's heart.It was just like the time when Lian Zhi slapped her own heart with helpless eyes.

Distressed feeling, that's it.

"What are you doing?!" You Mingxiang grabbed Lian Zhi's wrist, trying to take out a handkerchief to bandage it.

Lian Zhi shook her head, and pushed You Mingxiang away. "Those people are just below the city tower, waiting for me to come forward. In terms of momentum, I can't lose." Lian Zhi evenly spread the blood on the pulp of her index finger on her lips.

Even Zhi didn't need to look in the bronze mirror, she knew how miserable her face was.

From a distance, it is not very clear.

But the lip color can't be pale.

After Lian Zhi finished smearing, You Mingxiang immediately took out a handkerchief and bandaged Lian Zhi.

Under the city tower, the shout came again: "If you don't hand over the goddess, I will cut off the old man's neck!"

Listen to the voice, it's Luo Xiang's.

Lian Zhi paced to the edge of the city wall, and found that now she could show her small head without tiptoeing.The height has indeed grown a lot.

"I'm here, what do you want?!" Lian Zhiqingli's voice came to the ears of Luo Yijun who was sleeping in a wheelchair with his eyes closed.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lian Zhi's position.

Goddess? Hurt him, deceive him so far, how could he let her go? !
