"What?"

All speculations were overturned again. Feng Ze looked at the woman looking at him and felt a little strange.

"The boy set off fireworks for you, it's my turn to show you my preparations."

"You are indeed on the same side as him."

Feng Ze looked at Lan Ji, and he finally understood where his sense of disobedience lay.

From the beginning to now, this woman has always been so calm, as if she has made some realization.

"That's right, Wu Gang and his city defense troops should be very busy now, right? Since they have already run through the whole city, I believe they don't care about running through it again."

Lan Ji stared at Feng Ze's angry eyes. This was the first time she took the initiative to look into this man's eyes. After a closer look, she found that this man's angry expression was actually nothing more than that. She even couldn't understand why she used to do it.

Be so afraid.

"How dare you?"

Boom!

Feng Ze laughed angrily. He took a step forward and kicked Lan Ji hard on the waist. Of course Lan Ji, who was just an ordinary woman, couldn't dodge. Her body was kicked several steps away, and her slender shoulder hit her.

On the bookshelf behind her, all the books on the shelf fell down due to the vibration, and heavy books fell on her body one after another, burying her.

"Cough! Cough!!"

Lan Ji struggled to lift her upper body up from the pile of books, feeling vomiting well up in her. She pressed her chest and coughed violently, coughing up a mouthful of blood every time she coughed.

"Slaves who disobey their masters are indeed no longer needed."

This strong man walked step by step towards Lan Ji, who had temporarily lost her mobility among the books, using a cane.

Lan Ji used her blood-stained hands to support her trembling shoulders, raised her head and stared at Feng Ze who was walking towards her, and said, "I never wanted to be anyone's slave."

"It's not up to you...eh?"

Feng Ze wanted to step forward and grab Lan Ji's hair that was scattered on his shoulders, but suddenly he felt that his feet were weak, and his body lost his balance, and he half-knelt on the ground.

The strength in the body is passing away, why?

Confused, Feng Ze looked at his hands and found that the palms of his hands had been covered with blue spots for some time. The spots looked like orchids when put together.

"poison?"

Feng Ze looked at the woman in front of him who smiled at him in astonishment. He looked back at the gilt incense burner that was emitting light green smoke, and he suddenly understood.

"So...have you been ready?"

"Yeah, I've been ready for a long time."

Lan Ji held on to the bookshelf and slowly stood up from the stack of books. She looked down at the man, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"I learned some alchemy ten years ago, and I also like to raise flowers and plants. I accidentally produced this toxin, which I call orchid poison."

"Ten years...did you understand everything in that time?"

Feng Ze was half-kneeling in front of Lan Ji. He wanted to stand up, but his limbs seemed to be paralyzed and he couldn't use any force.

"Well, actually, I have been very suspicious of you since the day my father died."

Lan Ji looked coldly at the man who was kneeling in front of her as if he was repenting. She had dreamed of this day, and today it finally became a reality, which was a bit unreal.

"City Lord? This is really an old account..."

Feng Ze smiled dryly, as these invisible deadly toxins in the air spread to his internal organs and muscles along his breathing and blood flow, and even gradually seeped into his brain.

"Do you seem to admit that you did everything? Why did you do this? My father has never treated you badly."

Lan Ji asked this man the question she had buried in her heart for who knows how long, but there was no excitement or anger in her tone, only a cold calmness.

"If he were not the lord of this city, I might actually be able to become friends with him. I don't hate that kind of idealist."

Feng Ze clutched his chest and gasped for air. It was obvious that he had difficulty breathing.

"Why? Is there any secret in this city?"

Lan Ji once thought about how heartbreaking words this man would say, but she never expected that Feng Ze would give such a somewhat regretful answer.

Feng Ze's forehead was dripping with sweat, but when faced with Lan Ji's question, he still smiled slyly and said, "What good will it do me to let you know about this?"

"Perhaps, I can make you die faster."

Now that things have come to a point, it is of course impossible for Lanji to let Feng Ze go.

Feng Ze shook his head and said weakly: "Then let this secret disappear forever..."

"I'm curious about why you're fine."

Feng Ze looked up at Lan Ji. In his sight, Lan Ji's figure had turned into several.

"I took the antidote."

Looking at the man's eyes that were gradually losing focus, Lan Ji sneered:

"Of course I didn't prepare your share."

"Dear Julia, can't you let me go?"

Feng Ze stretched out his hand to Lan Ji, as if expecting her to hug him.

This scene reminded Lan Ji of her father back then, and she suddenly felt heartbroken. Of course, she was not confused.

"Don't call me that."

Lan Ji gritted her teeth to hold back the anger that surged in her heart. She clenched her fists and her nails dug into her flesh.

"Go to hell, bastard!"

Feng Ze, whose eyes were blank, fell backwards, and his heavy body hit the floor with a dull sound.

Lan Ji looked at the body that was no longer moving in front of her, and she was a little lost. The huge sadness made her eyes full of tears. Of course, these were not tears for Feng Ze, but tears for those she had lost over the years.

.

Although she couldn't undo everything, at least she made the culprit pay the price he deserved.

Buzz! Buzz!!

The buzzing sound on Feng Ze's body made Lan Ji wake up as if from a dream. The sound transmission stone in Feng Ze's pocket was making noise. Apparently someone wanted to contact Feng Ze at this time. Lan Ji hesitated and didn't know what to do.

By that time, the movement of the sound transmission stone had disappeared on its own.

This time Feng Ze did not bring any guards with him when he entered the study. In addition, the castle servants were afraid of Feng Ze, so they did not dare to approach the study where the angry Feng Ze entered.

In other words, no one else knows about Feng Ze's accident, including the city defense army and "Xiao".

I have to find his token.

Lan Ji looked at the cloth bag hanging on Feng Ze's belt. As long as she got Feng Ze's city lord token, it would be easy to leave Iron Helm Castle and even Iron Feather City.

Of course, the premise is that the news of Feng Ze's death is not leaked.

As the lord of a city, Feng Ze suddenly disappeared at this critical moment. I believe someone will soon notice the problem.

She doesn't have much time, so she needs to act quickly.

Thinking of this, Lan Ji quickly walked to Feng Ze, who was already lifeless, squatted down, and then reached out to fumble in his pocket.

"Found...ugh!!"

Just when Lan Ji grabbed the token, a thick big hand suddenly grabbed Lan Ji's slender arm. In Lan Ji's shocked eyes, the man who seemed to have been poisoned and died slowly opened his eyes.

.

"How did you...!"

Lan Ji couldn't believe the scene in front of her. She knew very well how toxic the orchid poison was. Although the effects were slow, once the poison accumulated, it would be almost fatal for ordinary people.

Although Lanji has never conducted experiments on living humans, she purchased many small animals to test its toxicity and conducted dissection studies on their corpses to gain a deeper understanding of the toxicology of this toxin.

In order not to arouse suspicion, she cleaned up the poisoned corpses and made them into specimens, which were the animal specimens placed in her room that the teenager complained were like "zoo".

Lan Ji knew that the poisonous mist in the room had accumulated to the point where ordinary people would vomit blood and die within five minutes. Even though Feng Ze was a powerful warrior, he had been in the room for a long time, and he had already been in the room when he got angry just now.

Inhaled far more than a lethal amount of toxins.

"Are you surprised? The plan that has been carefully prepared for so many years has just come to nothing?"

Feng Ze smiled, and he held Lan Ji's arm tightly. When Lan Ji tried to break free, he found that Feng Ze's hands were covered with scales, not only his hands, but also his face and neck...

..Almost all exposed skin is covered with tiny dark green scales.

"You're not human?! Ugh!"

Lan Ji was already shouting something bad in her heart. She hit Feng Ze on the neck with her other hand, trying to knock him out, but what she received in return was a rock-like impact.

"I am indeed not a pure-blooded human. I am an Argonian, and a quarter of my body is the blood of the green dragon. I believe you should know that the green dragon is a well-known poisonous dragon, and ordinary poisons are of no use to me now."

Feng Ze, who had "transformed into a dragon", also held Lan Ji's resisting arm, then turned her over and pushed her to the ground. Then he stared condescendingly at the pale face with his eyes that looked like a lizard or snake.

woman.

"You've obviously been poisoned!"
