The bracelet was detached from the snow-white wrist. In Xu Qi'an's eyes, the mediocre older woman looked like a reflection in the water. After a while, her original appearance appeared, which belonged to her.
Her eyes are round and charming, reflecting the light of fire, like a shallow lake immersed in bright gems, crystal clear and moving.
She raised her head shyly and timidly, her eyelashes trembling lightly, with a confusing beauty.
Her lips are plump and rosy, and the corners of her mouth are delicate and engraved, like the most attractive cherry, tempting a man to kiss Fangze.
She is beautiful, but her temperament is even better, like the fairy lady on a picture scroll.
"........."
Xu Qi'an has seen stunning beauties, and she also knows that Princess Zhenbei is known as the first beauty of Dafeng, so she is naturally unique.
However, after seeing the legendary Dafeng first beauty, Xu Qi'an still felt a strong sense of surprise. A poem appeared in my heart naturally:
Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful and beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing Revlon.
If it weren't for Qunyushantou, we would meet at Yaotai.
"Also, give it back to me..." She made a cry and pleading voice.
Xu Qi'an looked at her silently, did not continue teasing, handed the string over.
The princess grabbed her hand and put it back on again. There was another wave of light and shadow shaking, and she became an ordinary old aunt again.
He was in his early thirties, with mediocre features and ordinary temperament.
The princess touched her face and breathed a sigh of relief, and then hid her right hand wearing the bracelet tightly behind her, stepping back step by step, looking at Xu Qi'an vigilantly.
She knows that her beauty is an irresistible temptation for men.
In this world, she has only met two men who can resist temptation and ignore her. One is Emperor Yuan Jing who is obsessed with cultivating and has longevity above all else.
One is Duke Huai who is obsessed with martial arts and has other plans for her.
As for Xu Qi'an, in the princess's inherent impression of him, the label on his body is: juvenile hero; erotic.
It is rumored that this person has been lingering for a long time and has a deep entanglement with many oirans. The juvenile hero and the unruly romantic are complementary, and they are often talked about.
But what the princess fears most is the erotic.
This is too beautiful, right, she is not a question of whether she is beautiful or not, she is really the kind of rare woman who reminds me of first love... Xu Qi'an came to mind This stem from a previous life.
He thinks it is very appropriate, the princess is beautiful, but what really makes Xu Qi'an like a lightning strike is her peculiar charm, which can touch the softness of a man's heart.
Is this the first beauty of Dafeng? Oh, funny woman.
Xu Qi'an held the branch and shook the bonfire. He did not look at the vigilant and guarded princess again. He looked at the fire and said:
"I won this bracelet for you when I helped you cast the pot. It has the effect of shielding and changing appearance."
The princess was a little surprised, thinking about the changes before and after taking off the bracelet, thinking that he inferred based on this, and nodded.
Xu Qi'an continued: "I heard that Princess Zhenbei is the number one beauty in Dafeng. I was not convinced at first, but now that I see your true face... I can only sigh with emotion: I deserve it. ."
The princess willow her eyebrows frowned, "Not convinced?"
If other women said that, the princess thought she was jealous, but it was reasonable. But this sentence came from a man's mouth, which seemed strange.
Xu Qi'an nodded: "Because I think that my pond... the women I know are all outstanding beauties, with different attitudes, like a hundred flowers. The so-called princess is just one flower. The same delicate flowers."
But he has to admit that the princess has shown a very powerful feminine charm in the allure look just now.
Even if he is a long-time artillery man, although he will not be overwhelmed, there is only a momentary impulse, a male instinctive impulse.
Hearing this, the princess sneered.
How can this woman who is hooked up by a womanizer can be compared with her? The oiran in the Jiaofang Division is beautiful, but it would be a bit insulting to compare those women with the dust.
In the capital, the princess felt that the eldest daughter and second daughter of Emperor Yuan Jing could barely be her foil. When the national teacher Luo Yuheng was the most charming, he could compete with her, but most of the time it was not as good.
As for the other women, she has either never seen her, or she is gorgeous, but she has a low status.
The capital city is a mountain, and the princess is the Dugu begs defeat on the top of the mountain. With a glance, she can at most see the brains of Huaiqing and Lin'an. Take a look at Luo Yuheng's half of the face occasionally.
Of course, there is another person. If it is a magnificent age, the princess thinks that she might be able to compete with herself.
She is the queen of Dafeng.
Of these women that Xu Qi'an hooked up, naturally did not include Huaiqing Lin'an and Guoshi. Therefore, the princess sneered at his statement and raised her chin proudly.
"It's almost a ten-year-old from Beijing. It's very hard to pretend to be a maid. I can endure you and it's very hard." Xu Qi'an smiled.
"What do you mean?" The princess was taken aback.
"We were on the deck that night, and I wanted to pick your bracelets, but it was not like an extravaganza. After all, I am the organizer and have to consider the overall situation."
The princess looked dull, looked at him in amazement, and said: "You, did you guess that I was the princess at that time?"
It's a lie, she obviously pretends to be so good, she often cheers for her acting skills at night, thinking that she plays the role of handmaid like a fire and innocent, no one recognizes it.
"To be precise, when you hit me with gold when you were in the palace, I began to doubt. The real confirmation of your identity is when we met in the official ship. I knew then that you are the princess. , Just a puppet." Xu Qi'an smiled.
After abandoning the ship and going overland, Xu Qi'an didn't feel any disturbance when seeing the fake princess, and even more sure she was a fake.
The reason is very simple. He has written a diary before and recorded a characteristic of the princess in the diary.
I, I exposed so early..........The princess opened her mouth and was speechless. Thinking of her performance these days, she wanted to dig the ground and buried herself. A sense of shame came to my heart.
"I'm telling you this to tell you that although I am lascivious... I would like to ask men who are not lascivious, but I never force women. We still have a long way to go north, and we need your cooperation "Xu Qi'an comforted her.
Dafeng Xu Yinluo never forces women, unless they want to open it.
Still unable to escape the fate of going north...The princess pursed her lips, feeling a little lost, and was silent for a while, and asked: "When shall we meet the mission?"
The young silver gong raised his head, the fire shining on his face, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing an inexplicable smile: "Who said we want to join the mission?"
............
This night, the banyan tree "rustled" and nothing happened.
In the early morning, the first ray of morning light shone on her face, with the crisp and sweet bird song in her ears. She woke up from a shallow sleep and saw that the campfire had been extinguished, and a large iron pot was standing on it, and the porridge was fragrant.
The princess grumbled twice in her stomach, she came to the bonfire with unbearable surprise, and opened the iron pan, which contained thick porridge for three or five people.
In addition, there are clean dishes and chopsticks on the side.
Where did he get the pot to cook porridge, no, where did he get the rice? Where did the clean bowls and chopsticks come from... The princess served herself the porridge all night and drank with joy.
The porridge was thick and sweet, and the temperature was just right. The porridge slipped into the abdomen, and the princess looked back and raised her eyebrows.
After gnawing on two rabbit legs yesterday, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. I got up to drink water in the middle of the night and found that the guy had drunk the water. Now I am thirsty and empty in my abdomen.
This bowl of sweet porridge is better than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Xu Qi'an, who was stepping on the meadow, returned. He changed into plain clothes and wore a mink hat, as if he had just taken a shower.
"There is a small river over there, no one nearby, suitable for bathing." Xu Qi'an sat down beside her, threw the saponaria and the bristle toothbrush over, and said:
"Do you want to take a bath?"
The princess held the bowl in both hands, looked at Xu Qi'an for a moment, and shook her head slightly.
"Isn't it dirty?" Xu Qi'an frowned. At any rate, she is a princess with a daughter, so she doesn't care about hygiene.
"You're dirty." The princess sneered at her ignorance of the kindness.
She doesn't know how to take a bath. Wouldn't that give this **** man a chance? In case he is peeping around, or taking the opportunity to ask for a wash together...
Yes, the goddess doesn't go to the toilet, it's my low consciousness... Xu Qi'an took back the bristle toothbrush and soap horn.
The princess hurriedly said: "You need to rinse your mouth."
She has a small appetite, and after eating a bowl of thick porridge, she feels a little supportive, and she looks at the bristle toothbrush while walking toward the river.
It is mainly suspected that Xu Qi'an used this toothbrush, but she has no evidence.
When she came back after brushing her teeth, the pots and bowls were gone. Xu Qi'an sat around the ashes, staring at the map.
"Where shall we go next?" she asked.
"Sanhuang County."
Xu Qi'an did not deliberately sell Guanzi, and explained: "This is a county adjacent to Chuzhou and Jiangzhou. There is a hidden child trained by the Dagang. I want to find him first, inquire about information, and then gradually go deep into Chu. State."
The case of the Three Thousand Miles of Blood Slaughter is complicated and confusing, and there seems to be another hidden story. Against this background, Xu Qi'an believes that the secret investigation is the right choice.
If you are too high-profile, you will put yourself and your companions in danger.
The mission led by Yang Yan is a guise.
A steady plan...The princess nodded slightly, and asked: "Where are those things?"
"You want to take care of it." Xu Qi'an gave her mercilessly.
The two continued on the road, avoiding official roads, taking mountain trails, ridges, or directly over the mountains.
For a whole day, a stingy woman never said a word to him.
It is also good to take a mountain road. The scenery along the way is not bad, with green mountains and green waters and white clouds.
Occasionally, I can see the green pine on Aoli Cliff, the pavilion is like a building. You can also see the wild flowers blooming on the roadside, simple and tough.
Xu Qi'an is a person who loves fragrant and cherishes jade. He does not walk fast, and occasionally stops, picks a beautiful place, and rests leisurely for a short while.
Talking to her about her experience in fish farming often drew a sneer from the princess.
..........
Half a decade later, the delegation entered the northern border and arrived in a city called Wanzhou.
Wanzhou is a small state, smaller than a county than a county. Wanzhou has fertile land and is suitable for farming. It is one of the granaries in Chuzhou.
The architectural style of this place is not much different from the capital of the Central Plains, but the scale is not the same, and because there is no dock nearby, the degree of prosperity is limited.
After Yang Yan presented the court documents, the centurion, the highest general on the city gate, personally led the team to lead them to the post.
As soon as the mission rested at the post station, Yang Yan took a hot bath and was about to sit down for tea when the governor of Wanzhou came.
The surname of Master Zhizhou is Niu, but his physique does not match the word "niu". He is tall and thin, with goat's whiskers, wearing a green robe embroidered with heron, and two government officials behind him.
"Xiaguan didn't know how many adults came here, some missed far to welcome, some lost far to welcome..."
Niu Zhizhou's attitude is extremely humble. After meeting with Dali Temple Cheng, two Yushi and Yang Yan, he asked: "Dare to ask, what happened to the adults?"
Yang Yan is not good at official communication and did not answer.
Dali Temple Cheng took out the documents he had prepared long ago, handed them over with a smile on his face, and in a few words and Zhizhou began to praise him.
Niu Zhizhou and Cheng Cheng of Dali Temple finished their greetings, only then began to read the documents in their hands.
After reading the documents, Niu Zhizhou's expression was very strange, even thought it was ridiculous, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he tentatively asked, "Dare to ask, who is Xu Yinluo?"
Dali Temple Cheng sighed and said sadly: "The mission was ambushed by the enemy on the way, and Xu Yinluo was seriously injured to protect the group. I have sent someone back to the capital."
Niu Zhizhou was shocked and pale: "This is what happened? How can the thief dare to ambush the imperial mission~IndoMTL.com~ It is lawless."
The Yushi surnamed Liu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, Sir Niu, I will come to investigate the case and just ask about something."
Niu Zhizhou hurriedly said: "Master Yushi, please."
Liu Yushi said solemnly: "How is the battle in Chuzhou?"
After hearing this, Niu Zhizhou sighed and said: "Last year there was a heavy snowfall in the north, and countless livestock were frozen to death. After the beginning of spring this year, they often invaded the border, burned and looted along the way.
"Fortunately, the king of Zhenbei has many soldiers, and the city has not lost one. The barbarians did not dare to go deep into Chuzhou, but pity the people near the border."
Not all people live in the city. Those who are looted by barbarians are the people in the villages and towns.
Everyone in the embassy glanced at each other, and Chen Dao of the Criminal Ministry frowned and said: "Where did the blood slaughter three thousand miles?"
Niu Zhizhou smiled bitterly and stretched his hands, saying: "This is simply a fantasy. Everyone should know that Chuzhou is vertically and horizontally combined, but it is only eight thousand miles. If there is a blood slaughter for three thousand miles, then the official can still stand. Talk to the adults here?"
Liu Yushi sneered: "Everyone is a scholar, Niu Zhizhou must not play these clever things."
"Three thousand miles of blood massacre" is an allusion that originated in the ancient Warring States period when a bloodthirsty general led an army to slaughter three thousand miles when destroying an enemy country.
It is quoted by later generations as an allusion to describe large-scale killings and cruelty.
Although the barbarians have harassed the people on the border, burned, killed and looted, the king of Zhenbei passed back to the Tangbao in the north, saying only that the barbarians had harassed the border, but he had led his troops to retreat, and the news continued.
If the barbarians really committed the atrocities of "three thousand miles of blood", it would be the king of Zhenbei who lied to the military and seriously dereliction of duty.
