    Chapter 38 You Pick One

    Lan Ling woke up, in a warm room.

    She sat up, hands and feet still tied.

    It's just that the hands are tied loosely, and she can turn the phantom on her hand.

    With his back to her sat a tall man, sitting by the fire, drinking.

    Hearing Lan Ling's voice, he looked back at her.

    This is a handsome man with black eyebrows and deep eyes. He looked at her and looked Lan Ling up and down, as if suddenly stunned, "Are you awake?" The voice was low and gentle.

    Lan Ling saw his eyes as gentle as water for a moment.

    Lan Ling's finger pressed on the phantom and could turn the switch at any time.

    "Who are you? Why did you tie me up?"

    He took the beef behind him and put it beside Lan Ling, "Go hungry, eat something."

    "Why did you tie me up! Let me go, I want to go home!"

    "You have to eat before you have the strength to go home!" He slowly stepped forward.

    Lan Ling suddenly aimed the phantom in his hand at him, the man dodged and grabbed Lan Ling's hand.

    Lan Ling smiled bitterly, he was indeed not good at learning.

    He grabbed her hand, fiddled with the phantom in her hand, took it off, looked at it carefully, and slowly raised the corner of his mouth.

    "Very good, as expected of Ling Chen's woman, this is really good for women to defend themselves, why didn't I think of it?"

    He said that his face suddenly changed, and his face was tyrannical!

    "Why didn't I think of it! If I had prepared something for her self-defense, she wouldn't die!" He threw Lan Ling to the ground, stretched out his big hand, and all the bowls and plates on the table hit the ground.

    Lan Ling was terrified, hugged herself tightly and huddled aside.

    "I, I won't hurt you, don't be afraid." His eyes were bloodshot, but he said to Lan Ling in a warm voice.

    "Who are you? Are you sick?" Lan Ling saw that his face was strangely red.

    "I'm Zhang Xu, Xiaoyu left and jumped into that river. I didn't even find the body. I don't believe she's dead, I don't believe it!"

    Zhang Xu, the county lord of Luancheng, is a rebel. It was just recovered by Ling Chen.

    About Zhang Xu, she heard Ling Chen and Tian Ming talk about it. He betrayed because his wife committed suicide after being raped by the original county master of Cheng. Zhang Xu killed the original county master and became a rebel.

    "Is Xiaoyu your wife?" Lan Ling asked.

    "Yes, my wife. You have eyes like hers. Show you her picture."

    The man opened the cabinet next to him, took out a yellowed scroll, opened it with a trembling hand, and handed it to Lan Ling.

    "This is a portrait I asked an artist to paint for her when we first got married."

    Lan Ling looked at the woman with a slender body and a beautiful face in aqua blue, her eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to her own.

    "You tied me here because I look like him? But I have a husband." Lan Ling said quietly.

    "I didn't bind you because you looked like her, and I just met you. I came to the floating city today and wanted to assassinate King An."

    Lanling paused, "You want to assassinate King An?"

    "Yes. When I was about to start, he was holding a woman in his arms, not you. I found you later. You are very similar to my dead wife. You ran away, but he didn't chase you. He doesn't love you. How could he not love you?"

    Lan Ling was sad, "He has his own sweetheart."

    "Then do you still want to follow him? Leave him. I'll take you to a place where others can't find it, and no one will hurt you again." He said to Lan Ling in a warm voice.

    "I, I'm not your wife Xiaoyu. I won't leave him. Although he doesn't love me, I love him." Lan Ling said softly. She was really afraid to stimulate him again.

    His eyes were not those of a normal person.

    He stared at her, suddenly angry, grabbed the beef and stuffed it into Lan Ling's mouth, "Eat it! Eat all these! Don't you like beef the most!"

    Lan Ling dodged, but he still had the beef in his mouth.

    "You're a lunatic!" Lan Ling's lips were all torn and blood flowed out.

    When he saw her bleeding, he stopped instantly, and his face returned to calm.

    He tied her hands and feet again, gagged, closed the door, and walked out.

    He didn't come home overnight. This is a remote house, and Lan Ling can't hear anyone's voice outside.

    Early the next morning, he came back with red eyes and blue stubble on his face.

    He brought hot porridge and steamed buns, leaned over and untied her hand, "Eat them all."

    Lan Ling is really hungry, she hasn't eaten since noon yesterday.

    She obediently drank porridge and ate two buns. He sat there, looking at her tenderly.

    Seeing that Lan Ling finished eating breakfast, he tied her hand again, put a man's heavy cloak on her, and carried her into the carriage.

    "Where are you taking me?" Lan Ling asked in surprise.

    He didn't speak, and gagged her with a cloth.

    The carriage went very fast, and after about an hour, Lan Ling was bumped so badly that it felt like he was going up a mountain.

    When the car stopped, Zhang Xu took Lan Ling off the carriage and dragged her up a half hill.

    He dragged her and walked to the top of the slope. Lan Ling leaned over to take a look, but there was a bottomless cliff below.

    "Are you going to kill me here?" Lan Ling asked.

    He didn't speak, and tied her waist with a thick rope, one end of which was tied to the big tree beside him. Lan Ling discovered that there was also a person tied to another big tree next to him, and the one tied to it turned out to be Wen Heng.

    "You caught her?" Lan Ling looked up and asked Zhang Xu.

    "Yes, they have all come out to find you, the defense in the city is weak, how could those two guards be my opponents!"

    "What do you want? What do you want us to exchange with him?" Lan Ling was shocked.

    "You'll know what to exchange in a while."

    "I know that your heart is full of hatred, but it has nothing to do with King An. It is his duty to recover Luancheng." Lan Ling tried to convince him that she felt that he was not a bad person, but just lost his mind.

    Zhang Xu smiled and said after a while: "I kidnap you, there is really no other meaning. It's just that the New Year is coming, there is no city guard, no home, no one needs me to protect, I feel bad, find something Just do it."

    There was a morbid frenzy in his eyes.

    Lan Ling believed what he said.

    "You can help King An defend the city and defect to King An. He needs people right now." Lan Ling said sincerely.

    "You are so innocent. I tied up his two women, how could he let me go?" He smiled.

    There were loud footsteps ahead.

    Several figures leaped over.

    Lan Ling saw Ling Chen in black walking in the middle, Tian Ming, Gu Fan, Yang Shuo in order, Fan Xing and Han Zhitao behind him. Behind them, dozens of men in black stood.

    Ling Chen's face was stern, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, he slowly walked over. Lan Ling and Wen Heng glanced at the corner of his eyes.

    "Zhang Xu, offer your terms!" Ling Chen stepped forward and said solemnly.

    Zhang Xu smiled, "An Wang, I have no other hobbies in my life, I just like women. Both of you are good, but you can only ask for one, you choose one." He looked at Ling Chen.
