Chapter 60 The Taste
Shen Lianting guessed that the death of the man in black was related to Ji Xiaoguang, he recognized those red flowers, after all, he was the one who fished Ji Xiaoguang out of the poisonous flowers when he was in Xiaoyun Valley.
After ordering the owl bird to conduct a secret autopsy, he did throw the pile of inhuman things into the dog cage out of selfishness, which is not a lie.
Originally, I wanted to wait for Xiaoguang's injury to recover before asking, fearing that he would be uneasy, but before Shen Lianting could figure out how to speak, Ji Xiaoguang brought it up by himself.
He was leaning on a soft cushion, his legs covered with a small red silk quilt, waving his hands wrapped in gauze, staring at him.
"Did I kill him? I'm so powerful!"
Shen Lianting: "..."
"The owl has checked it these days." Shen Lianting lightly tapped the teacup, his eyes turned blue: "It is true."
Ji Xiaoguang put down his hands: "No wonder my whole body was on fire, exactly the same as when I was poisoned."
"It's probably because the residual poison has not disappeared, and it has become a vision in your body, but fortunately there is no rebuttal, it's just different from others."
Ji Xiaoguang nodded when he heard the words, and thought: "Could it be that the poison is in my blood?"
After all, apart from a little blood on the man in black, he didn't even bite the skin on the man's hand.
Shen Lianting looked at his little face that had regained its vigor, but the color of his lips was a little pale, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but be amazed, if his blood can plant red flowers in other people's bodies, wouldn't that mean killing people invisible?
A proper superpower.
Seeing his eager expression, Shen Lianting thought for a long time before deciding to tell him.
"Not only do you need your blood, but you also need water. In addition..." He paused: "When the man strangled your neck, you left a scar on his hand, which made the toxin produce its maximum effect."
Ji Xiaoguang thinks it makes sense. He was dazzled by the excitement just now, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is indeed a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
Only his blood and water, let his blood blend, this is impartial, the man in black died so thoroughly.
He lowered his eyes and pondered, it seemed that there was a price to be paid for doing anything.
Shen Lianting raised his hand to push away the broken hair on his forehead, then clenched his fingertips lightly, and comforted in a low voice.
"I've suppressed this matter. Don't mention it to others, and don't think about using it. There are too many variables, and it's beyond your control."
Ji Xiaoguang knew that he was protecting himself. Although there was a bright red poison in his body, and it was extremely lethal, if he couldn't fully control it, the damage to himself would be irreparable.
It's best not to use it for the rest of your life.
He lowered his head slightly, and could see his hands wrapped into rice dumplings. The touch of Shen Lianting's fingertips was so clear that he didn't dare to look up at this moment.
A warm current passed through his heart, and he thought, with Shen Lianting around, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Obediently said: "With you here, I know..."
Shen Lianting paused his fingers slightly, his expression seemed a little complicated, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say much.
It was not until Ji Xiaoguang removed the gauze from his hands that Xu Ziying finally came to see him.
The two chatted in Mandarin for a while as if to relieve boredom, and then sat down to talk about business.
Seeing the unhealed scar on his hand, Xu Ziying sighed: "I said, you need to be careful when you travel, maybe someone will wipe your neck at some point, and no one will explain it to you."
Ji Xiaoguang waved his hand and didn't care.
"Who said, Shen Lianting has been investigating the fake secret guard these days. He is in charge of Xuanguo's secret guard camp, and he will definitely find out some clues in a short time."
Seeing that Xu Ziying didn't speak after finishing speaking, he looked at him with folded arms, and asked inexplicably, "What are you looking at?"
"You two..." Xu Ziying drew circles in the air with his fingers, then squeezed his beautiful narrow eyes: "Are you ready?"
Ji Xiaoguang's ears were slightly red, he turned his face away and said in a muffled voice, "No."
Because of his injury, Shen Lianting knew that he was coming towards him, so he kept investigating the matter, and the two of them didn't spend much time together.
In addition to the fact that he was injured, Shen Lianting felt that it was inconvenient and opened another room to live in. These days, he didn't sit down and talk properly.
"I can clearly see that he's not in good spirits recently, so he's free to talk about other things..." Ji Xiaoguang stretched out his hand to rub his ears, making his ears redder, pouted and didn't speak.
That night, he thought he was going to die, and his mind was full of Shen Lianting, only then did he realize that what he always felt in his heart was liking.
But after she understood it, she became afraid, afraid that she would be affectionate, and also afraid of having too much contact with Shen Lianting.
These days, whenever Shen Lianting came to give him medicine, or touched his hair and the corners of his eyes as before, he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that he didn't live up to expectations, Xu Ziying pointed his finger at his forehead: "What are the two men doing coyly, why don't you just say it if you like?"
Ji Xiaoguang was angry: "It's not that easy!"
"Why isn't it easy?" Xu Ziying talked about his unromantic love story with his master Hou.
"Master Hou asked me if I would do everything for the money. I was angry at the time, so I just said it casually. I didn't expect him to say that it would be okay to marry him with the money. I knew he was rich, so I agreed without even thinking about it." Slightly."
The corner of Ji Xiaoguang's mouth twitched: "It's really easy, so simple and rude..."
"So." Xu Ziying cheered him up, and said like a slogan: "Go to him! Sleep with him!"
Ji Xiaoguang frantically begged him to shut up, and spoke obsequiously like the Ninth Prince.
This matter was archived for the time being, and Xu Ziying talked about another matter.
"That kid in white is called Bai Ying, right? Don't worry, he's still alive, it's just that the Sixth Highness who came here that night kicked his heart, and he's still lying there."
Xu Ziying couldn't help recalling that he saw Bai Ying being kicked far away by Shen Lianting, and when Shen Lianting saw Ji Xiaoguang covered in blood, the evil spirit around him almost exploded the courtyard.
Thinking about it now, it's no wonder Rong Fei hated him to see Ji Xiaoguang, he knew with his own mouth that if he accidentally said something wrong, he might be the one who got kicked.
"I see, it's fine." Bai Ying saved one life, and the rest depends on his own luck.
Xu Ziying thought he was too polite: "If you have something to say, just tell me, and I will give you an exclusive [-]% discount on where you need to spend money."
The two of them are considered to be close friends, and they both know each other's background, so this friend is officially handed over.
Ji Xiaoguang smiled and said: "I know, I know, although you are stingy, violent, hard-spoken and like to be short-sighted, but you are righteous enough and a buddy!"
Xu Ziying smiled and said: "Is there such a boast? No, give me the mental damage fee!"
One night he had just turned off the lights, the moon was bright and the wind was clear outside the window, and a gust of warm wind was blowing in, which was very refreshing, so he wanted to open the window.
The injury on his leg was still not healed, he limped off the bed and moved, and when he heard the footsteps outside the door approaching, he stopped at the door very steadily and exited, he knew that Shen Lianting had returned.
It may be seen that Ji Xiaoguang's guest room was pitch black, Shen Lianting stopped for a while and left, turned his footsteps to the other side, and then heard the sound of the door opening, the door closed, and the silence returned again.
He came back very early tonight, Ji Xiaoguang thought.
The restlessness in his heart became more and more intense. He hadn't smelled the fragrance of Shen Lianting's body for a long time. He tightened his hand on the carved wooden door, thought for a while and opened the door to go out.
"Shen Lianting?" He knocked lightly on the door, and after knocking a few times, he realized that the door was not closed tightly.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open.Shen Lianting didn't expect him to come suddenly, so he hurriedly put down the things in his hands and wanted to get down from the window sill.
Ji Xiaoguang hurriedly said, "Don't move!"
Shen Lianting didn't move, watching him approaching slowly.
Just then Ji Xiaoguang opened the door and saw Shen Lianting sitting on the open window lattice for the first time.
The man with a stern face has sharp edges and corners under the moonlight. His tall black hair rises and falls with the wind, his slender legs are straightened, and the other leg is bent. The whole person is like a statue, handsome and extraordinary.
As Ji Xiaoguang was approaching, Shen Lianting subconsciously reached out and leaned over to support her.
The fragrance of tobacco came together with Shen Lianting's unique fragrance, which made Ji Xiaoguang's throat unavoidably tight.
Let go of his hand as if it was scalded, Ji Xiaoguang looked down at the object in his hand and didn't speak.
Shen Lianting hid the purple bamboo tobacco stick behind his back, feeling uncomfortable as if he had done something wrong.
He had promised Ji Xiaoguang not to touch this thing anymore, but there were so many trivial matters in recent days, so he became irritable for no reason.
And Ji Xiaoguang's injury made him understand that he couldn't bear it anymore.
I had already guessed in my heart that if they took action against Ji Xiaoguang, this time would not be the only one. The road that should be paved should be paved as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for him...
He turned his face away and took a few breaths of the evening breeze before turning to Ji Xiaoguang.
"Why are you here?"
Ji Xiaoguang seemed to wake up from a dream, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's nothing, I'll come and see you."
The edge of the bed was made of oak boards, wide and shiny. Shen Lianting was worried about his tired legs from standing for a long time, so he used his strength to let him sit up on the other side.
It was dim outside the window, and the moonlight sprinkled mottled on the tree shadows, presenting a leisurely and peaceful scene.
Ji Xiaoguang shifted his eyes from the window to Shen Lianting's face, and the beautiful moon scene couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes.
Can't help but ask: "Are you tired?"
Shen Lianting smiled lightly and shook his head: "It's nothing."
Ji Xiaoguang beat his calf with two small fists like a dog's leg, and said: "If you are tired, I can help you loosen your muscles and bones. How about it? Isn't it much better?"
Shen Lianting took his hand: "Don't move, the palm of your hand is still hurt."
This pulled out the cigarette stick that was so easy to hide, and the two of them fell silent at the same time. Shen Lianting wanted to throw away the stick, but Ji Xiaoguang stopped him: "Don't throw it away."
Shen Lianting smiled wryly: "I shouldn't have smoked."
Ji Xiaoguang waved his hands again and again: "No, no, you, you can do whatever you want, and..." He raised his eyelids lightly, and said with a smile, "You look pretty good when you smoke."
Shen Lianting didn't expect him to say this, and was amused. Through his unremitting efforts, after breaking countless mirrors, his current smile always has the feeling of a smile that wipes away all grievances.
Ji Xiaoguang stared at him without blinking, and his Adam's apple moved inadvertently. After watching for a long time, he seemed to be possessed by a demon, and said: "Can I..."
"What can you do?" Shen Lianting asked.
Ji Xiaoguang looked at the delicate and slender tobacco rod in his hand: "Can you let me take a sip?"
