Suddenly, he was slightly stunned and said, "Why are there so many Qi people in Qin?" Perhaps it was because the Qi people always rode on horses.
Their hairstyles were very different from those in the Central Plains. They liked to braid their hair or simply shave it off.
The person sitting opposite him,
Was a young man with a cold and almost numb face. Hearing this, he said in a deep voice, "His Majesty and Princess Chu's wedding day is approaching.
King Of Qi sent a messenger to congratulate them. "
Only then did Qin Song remember that Princess Chu had been in Qin for four months.
The wedding day was more than a month away. Thinking of the messy relationship between Qin Yue and Yi An, Qin Song frowned slightly.
Not to mention Daqin, which had always been unruly, it was not uncommon even in Southern Chu. However, it was difficult for Qin Song to treat this as an elegant thing like other people.
He only felt bored to the core.
Suddenly, he sighed softly. It had only been two months since he came to Qin.
However, more things had happened than in the previous ten years. Even now, when he thought of what happened in Southern Chu,
It was as if it had happened in a dream, hazy and unreal.
The carriage stopped.
Qin Song got off and knocked on the door.
For a long time, no one answered the door. The carriage had already left without waiting for him to enter the door.
However, the young man in the same carriage got off and stood quietly behind him.
Qin Song frowned. "You're not leaving?"
The young man said, "His Majesty ordered me to follow you."
His tone seemed to always be so flat, without the slightest emotion.
Qin Yue had personally given the order. Whether it was surveillance or protection, Qin Song had no room to refuse. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How should I address you?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that this question was very tricky. After a while, he said, "I used to be called Rho Minoris."
"Qin Yue's secret guard?"
The young man's pupils constricted.
Qin Song looked at him and said lightly, "Since you are no longer a secret guard, you don't have to be so nervous."
The young man's expression was a little stiff. He wanted to relax but didn't know how. After a while, he asked, "How did you know I was …"
He stopped mid-sentence. Qin Song naturally understood what he meant and said, "This is not difficult to guess. It is rare to see someone using a number as their name. From your tone, it seems that the name Rho Minoris already belongs to someone else. It is obvious that it is just a code name. Someone who uses a code name to replace his name, if he is not a shadow guard, what else can he be?"
The young man did not know how to answer. Qin Song asked again, "What's your real name?"
The young man thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't remember."
"Since His Majesty has ordered me to follow you, please give me a name."
Qin Song shook his head. "Surnames are passed down from our ancestors, and names are entrusted with our hopes … Names are a very important thing. Don't casually give this right to others."
He ignored him and continued to knock on the door with greater force.
The young man looked at Qin Song with a somewhat absent-minded expression. Logically speaking, he should hate this young man. If it wasn't for him assassinating Qin Yue, he wouldn't have almost lost his life due to dereliction of duty. Although he managed to keep his life in the end, the punishment he had to endure made him shudder even now when he thought about it … But perhaps it was because he wasn't allowed to have his own love and hate since he could remember, but when he faced this young man, he couldn't bring up the slightest bit of hatred.
"Yu Sheng," the young man said, "From now on, my name is Yu Sheng."
Qin Song looked back at him and said lightly, "As long as you are happy."
At this time, the door finally opened with a creak. The person inside was slightly stunned. "It's you? You still have … "
After all, he was not used to scolding people. He did not say anything unpleasant and only said coldly, "We do not welcome you here!"
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut and the bolt was unlocked.
Qin Song pursed his lips. After a moment of silence, he continued to knock on the door.
It was already abnormal for Qiu Yun to personally open the door. Moreover, Qiu Yun's condition was also very strange. She looked haggard and much thinner. Her hair was also somewhat messy. Although her clothes were clean, there were many wrinkles. It was obvious that it had not been ironed after being washed. Moreover, there were some water stains on her hands. It seemed that she did not have time to wipe them clean in a hurry to open the door.
What happened in the hostage residence?
The door was opened again. When she saw that it was still Qin Song, Qiu Yun looked impatient. She turned to close the door again. However, a strong hand pressed on the door in time. Yu Sheng said woodenly, "Her Majesty ordered me to send Qin Song Gongzi back to the hostage residence."
Qiu Yun bit her lip and looked coldly at Qin Song. Then, she turned and left.
Qin Song silently followed behind her and entered the residence.
It was originally April, but the hostage residence was filled with a kind of bleak atmosphere. The withered magnolia still hung on the branches. No one trimmed them. The peach blossoms had already withered. However, the scattered petals still remained on the stone pavement. Under the eaves of the corridor, there were even some spider webs. On the contrary, the weeds and vines on the ground were full of vitality.
The hostage residence was not big. However, there were originally many people. Yi An, Qin Song, and Qiu Yun had each brought their own people. There were also the cooks, grooms, and gardeners that Southern Chu had brought. However, now, there was not a single one of them.
"What happened?"
Qin Song asked Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng blankly shook his head. Ever since Qin Yue was assassinated, he had been tortured and recovering from his injuries. He knew very little about the situation outside. This was very similar to Qin Song.
"They said that there was an assassin in the hostage residence. To prevent any accidents, they sent everyone back." Qiu Yun replied indifferently. Then, she turned to look at Qin Song. There was still half a sentence that she did not say. However, she sent the real assassin back.
"I still have something to do. Help yourself." Qiu Yun finished speaking. However, she did not return to her room. Instead, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Qin Song walked towards the courtyard where he lived. As soon as he took a step, he heard a very light coughing sound. Immediately, his expression turned stiff. He paused his steps, turned around and walked quickly past Qiu Yun into the kitchen.
Yi An was squatting on the ground and feeding firewood into the stove. The firewood was green and wet. The black smoke from the firewood made it difficult for him to open his eyes. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and asked, "Who just came …"
When he saw the person standing at the door, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Qin Song looked at his red and swollen eyes and the black ash on his forehead. He opened his mouth but no words came out. Then, he turned and walked out.
"Qin Song!"
Qin Song turned around. Yi An smiled and said, "… There is still some hot water here. You can wash up first. The porridge will be ready soon."
"No need." Qin Song took two steps and stopped. His voice was dry and hoarse, "… Thank you, Your Highness."
He strode away.
His room was still the same as when he left. Everything was neatly arranged. There was no dust on the table. It seemed that someone regularly cleaned it. Qin Song directly opened the box and took out a heavy wooden box. When he opened the wooden box, it was filled with gold and silver. It was dazzling.
Qin Song threw the box back into the box. His chest was heaving violently.
"Gongzi." Yu Sheng had been with Qin Yue for a long time. However, this was the first time he had seen Qin Song angry. He was a little uneasy and asked, "Did you lose something? Why don't I … "
Qin Song shook his head. He squatted down with a sullen face and slowly put the scattered gold and silver back into the box.
Yu Sheng went forward to help and said, "It probably wasn't His Majesty's idea to send the servants away. At that time, His Majesty was seriously injured and unconscious. How could he have the time to make things difficult for them …"
Qin Song interrupted, "I know."
Yu Sheng knew that Qin Song didn't want to talk too much with him. He paused and said, "I'll go prepare some hot water for you." The young man had always been clean. After coming out of that place, he probably wanted to wash up properly.
Qin Song thanked him. When Yu Sheng left, his face darkened again. His fingers clutched the gold ingot in his hand tightly. A flame of anger burned in his chest. The people were gone, but the money was still there. If he couldn't use the Chu people, he could hire the Qin people. If he couldn't hire the Qin people, he could at least buy a few slaves. He deliberately lived his life so miserably. Was he waiting for someone to pity him?
Even if he wanted to appear weak and be ignored by others, as a prince, wasn't giving himself to others contemptible enough? Why did he have to put on a pitiful appearance for others to see? He had completely forgotten that he was also a dignified seven feet tall man!
Suddenly, his expression changed and he shouted, "Come out!"
"Eh? You can hear me even like this? " A figure nimbly flipped in from outside the window. He smiled and greeted Qin Song, "Long time no see."
He was young, tall and strong. His face could barely be called handsome. Qin Song glanced at him and then lowered his head to pack the box. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"Not only am I here, I'm living here," the young man said proudly. "Everyone says that the Qin people are so and so powerful. In the end, I'm living here openly. But they searched the entire city dozens of times and still couldn't find this place. Don't you think they're stupid? Ha, right, did you see that I cleaned up your room? "
"You cleaned it?"
"Of course!" the young man said. "Otherwise, did you count on those two? They should be thanking the heavens if they can fill their stomachs! "
"Well, thank you."
"You're welcome. The two of us can be said to be in a life and death situation …" The young man suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "That's not right! How do you know who I am? Ah, that's not right. You didn't say that you know who I am. Then do you know who I am … Bah, I've said so much. Even if you don't know who I am, you should know who I am … "
This nonsense … Qin Song couldn't listen to it anymore. He interrupted, "What are you doing here?"
With that brain of his, he didn't believe that he deliberately came here to avoid being hunted because he understood the principle of darkness under the light.
The young man shook off the question of whether he knew who he was and said matter-of-factly, "I'm looking for you! I say, did you forget something? "
Qin Song was slightly stunned and said, "Sorry, I lost your dagger. After a few days, I'll find a similar one and return it to you."
"It's not about Qing Feng. I'm more than happy that you used it to stab Qin Yue. Why would I ask you for it?" The young man said, "Did you forget that you ate my poison pill?"
Qin Song replied with an 'oh' and said, "You mean, that boiled soybean?"
The young man's eyes widened. "How did you know that it was boiled soybean?"
How did I know? I ate it!
Qin Song was too lazy to answer this idiot's question.
The young man muttered in dissatisfaction, "So you already knew. You made me feel uneasy for a long time. I was afraid that you would be worried about the poison. I wanted to tell you at that time, but there were too many things that happened later. I was careless and forgot. When I remembered to go back to look for you, you were locked up in prison. The security was very tight. I couldn't sneak in several times. Oh, right, there was one time when I was close to the courtyard where you were locked up. I even tried to imitate a bird's call in the tree to attract your attention … "
Bird call?
The young man was surprised to see that the young man who almost never smiled suddenly showed a smile on his face. For a moment, it was as if the spring flowers were blooming and the winter snow was melting. It made people feel as if their hearts were soaked in warm water and melted into the warm sun. There was no trace of haze to be found. For a moment, he was stunned.
The young man suddenly pursed his lips. A series of crisp and mellow bird calls escaped from his lips. It was very pleasant to hear.
The young man was dumbfounded. "You … you …" It was the bird song he had learned that day. If it wasn't for the fact that he was used to this tune, even he himself wouldn't have recognized it. But this young man had only heard it once, and had learned it without a single mistake.
Qin Song smiled and said, "I was wondering why the bird's call was so unpleasant. So it was because of you."
The young man said angrily, "Nonsense. I learned the best thrush bird's call in the mountains. When I learned bird calls, even real birds would be attracted. How can you say that my call is unpleasant?"
Qin Song sighed and said, "So you also know that you learned the thrush bird's call. Then tell me, why would a thrush bird suddenly appear in the courtyard of the Imperial Prison of Qin and chirp non-stop?"
The young man was stunned. Then, he patted his head and said, "I was wondering why the security at the back was suddenly strengthened. I couldn't sneak in anymore!"
He added, "Don't worry. If there is a next time, I won't learn the thrush bird. I will learn the sparrow!"
Qin Song shook his head and laughed. He didn't say anything.
In fact, there wasn't even a sparrow there.
Those bird cries were the most pleasant sounds he had heard during that period of time.
"You didn't sleep in my bed, right?"
"Why?"
"If you slept in it, I would have changed the bedding."
The young man snorted and said, "Don't worry. I know the strange habits of young masters like you. I slept in the outer room and didn't touch your bed … Even your sheets and quilts were changed by me this morning."
Qin Song was slightly stunned.
The young man said discontentedly, "Why do you think I have nothing to do but sleep all day? I don't have the ability to save you, but it's not like I can't even find out some information. "
"Also, I don't want to criticize you. Last time, you lied to me and let me pretend to stab you to delay the pursuers. In the end, you went to assassinate me yourself … You said that if you told me the truth, the two of us would attack together. Now …"
Qin Song said, "Now your corpse would be rotting."
The young man choked. Qin Song said, "Now that things are clear, you should go. Yu Sheng should be back soon."
The young man said proudly, "Don't worry. He is chopping firewood now. How can he have time to come over?"
"Chopping firewood?"
"Yes!" The young man said with a smile, "Your Second Prince and that girl called Qiu Yun don't even know how to buy things. They don't have any power. Those people are just trying to cheat them. Shriveled old vegetables, hollow radishes, moldy brown rice … all of them are sold at sky-high prices. And the people who sell firewood, they buy it when it's wet and green. Not to mention that it can't be lit for half a day, it's not easy to chop it. With Qiu Yun's strength, it's already good enough to cook porridge. That boy wants to prepare bath water for you. How can he not chop the firewood first? "
Seeing Qin Song frown slightly, the young man scratched his head and said, "Well … you just came back. There must be a lot of things to do. I'll go first. I'll come back later. By the way, my name is Han Pu. Han Pu. "
He waved at Qin Song and jumped out of the window.
Qin Song drank some water and swallowed the stubborn steamed bun in his mouth. He said, "I remember that I don't need to change the medicine today."
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and said with some displeasure, "What? You don't believe me? You can throw this steamed bun out now. Let's see if they … "
"I believe you." Qin Song said, "But I don't have the habit of threatening others with my life."
His life was his. Why should he expect others to cherish it?
Qin Yi was silent. He lowered his head and checked his wound. However, he didn't apply medicine for him. He only said, "It's healing well. It's better than I thought. I don't need to apply medicine for you in the future … but I'll tell the medicine boy to prepare enough water for you. "
Qin Song said, "Thank you."
Qin Yi said with a smile, "You should thank me. Not only did I save your life this time, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to see your face now."
Qin Song's hand, which was holding the bowl of water, paused. He said, "I'm sorry. I can't thank you for this."
Qin Yi laughed and said, "You don't have to thank me for treating your injury. You only have to thank me for lending you water to wash up … Qin Song, you're really interesting. Even I like you a little."
Qin Song looked at him and said lightly, "But I really can't like people like you who treat your love as a gift."
Qin Yi's smile froze. He sighed and said, "I just said that you're interesting. Now you're boring again."
He continued, "Although your external injuries are fine, your internal injuries … I'm very curious about what you went through to injure your internal organs like this."
Qin Song didn't answer and continued to eat.
Qin Yi didn't force him. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, although I can't make medicine that can cure your internal injuries, it's not impossible."
He took out a thin book from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Qin Song. He said, "This is the Art of Eternal Spring. It's a secret manual for internal energy. Although it's not very powerful, it's far better than others in terms of health …"
Qin Song didn't take it. He said, "In this world, any martial art that can cultivate internal energy is extraordinary. I appreciate Qin Daifu's kindness, but I don't want this. "
Qin Yi's expression changed slightly. He said, "In my eyes, Qin Song, you're not an impulsive person. Don't throw your body out of spite."
