He lowered his head to look at the wound on his shoulder and was suddenly stunned. He remembered that the scab had just fallen off yesterday, leaving behind a dark red circular mark,
But at this moment, only his jade-white skin was left,
He couldn't find any traces.
He raised his wrist in shock,
He looked at his hands.
These days, he had been wearing iron shackles,
So his other injuries were getting better,
Only the skin on his wrist,
Was constantly being worn out. However, at this moment, only a faint red mark was left on the wound on his wrist,
The calluses and slight deformations on his fingers from years of writing had also disappeared without a trace. His hands were as beautiful as a piece of exquisite jade, and not a single flaw could be found.
This body was different.
Qin Song realized that he wasn't surprised or shocked by this change at all... Did he really forget something?
He thought of the barrier in the dark again,
Obviously..,
It wasn't something that he could break through with his current strength..
Qin Song soaked until his skin was a little wrinkled before he came out of the bathtub. Yu Sheng had also freshened up and was guarding outside. When he saw him open the door,
He went in to help pour the water.
Qin Song dried his hair until it was half-dry,
He combed it,
He put a thin blanket on his shoulders to block the water. He looked at Yu Sheng, who was busy beside the small stove. After a moment of silence, he said, "I don't like to live a muddle-headed life, so there are some things that I want to make clear to you first."
Yu Sheng was putting the tea set into the boiling water one by one. When he heard this, his hands paused and he said, "Go ahead."
Qin Song said, "A person who is locked up in prison will never be grateful to the prison guard who delivers food to him every day. Therefore, no matter how much you do for me, I will not be grateful to you. Of course, I will not be grateful to the person behind you."
No matter how attentive and considerate Yu Sheng was to him, he wouldn't like someone sent by Qin Yue by his side. However, Qin Song also knew that no matter how much he didn't like it, it wouldn't change anything. Even if he refused to let Yu Sheng stay by his side, what was the use? There were only three possible outcomes. First, Yu Sheng would shamelessly follow him, since he couldn't defeat him. Second, Yu Sheng would go into hiding, since he was originally a secret guard. Third, Yu Sheng would go back and be punished, and Qin Yue would send a new one. No matter what the outcome was, it wouldn't be better than the current situation.
"So, first, since you're doing the work of a follower, I'll treat you as a follower. I'll pay you as much as you deserve, but that's all."
Yu Sheng grunted and didn't say anything.
Qin Song continued, "Secondly, it's not that I don't want to expel you. If one day, I have the ability to expel you, you can either leave or die."
This time, Yu Sheng was silent for a moment before he grunted again. He still didn't say anything.
"Thirdly, I don't know what you're thinking, but in my opinion, everyone, especially adults with normal judgment, is an independent individual. No one is subordinate to another, so you can only be responsible for your own choices." Qin Song said, "I won't treat you harshly just because you're someone sent by Qin Yue. But similarly, if you do or prepare to do something to harm me, I don't care if you're following orders or if you have many difficulties … I won't forgive or understand you. I will only use any means … to kill you."
Yu Sheng responded quickly this time. For him, this point was a bit redundant — if the operation was exposed or failed, of course he should die.
He nodded and said, "I understand."
Qin Song was a bit surprised that Yu Sheng agreed so quickly. He paused and said, "If you have any requests, you can tell me."
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, his face turned red, "Can I … get a bit of my salary in advance?"
Qin Song was stunned.
Yu Sheng said, "I … don't have a change of clothes."
Qin Song was stunned. Didn't they say that the emperor didn't lack hungry soldiers? How could this secret guard, who was once ranked Black No.1, be driven out to work empty-handed? Was there some secret that he didn't know?
He silently took out some money and gave it to him, saying, "This twenty taels is your salary for this month. In addition, find a reliable slave trader and ask him to bring more people for selection tomorrow. The remaining ten taels is the deposit for him."
Yu Sheng nodded. Qin Song got up and walked towards the inner room, "I'm very tired. I'm going to sleep first. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."
Qin Song was indeed very tired. He lay on the bed and hugged the quilt and fell into a deep sleep — he hadn't slept so well for nearly two months.
When Qin Song was awakened by a tempting fragrance, he found that it was already dusk. He got up and went to the outer room. He saw Yu Sheng laying out the dishes. The dishes were very rich. He asked in surprise, "You went to buy them?"
"No," Yu Sheng said in a muffled voice, "The cook in the residence made them."
He then explained, "When you were asleep, the government sent people over … they said that they were prepared for the people who were sent back to the residence as hostages."
Qin Song wasn't surprised. After all, Qin Yue still had to act out the scene of him being blinded by lust. Since they had already practiced for a while, it was time for them to "bury the hatchet and reconcile as before".
He simply washed up and rinsed his mouth. He sat at the table and said, "Sit down and eat together."
In Yu Sheng's training, he obviously didn't follow the rules of a master and servant. Although he was a follower, he still referred to each other as "you and I". At this moment, Qin Song asked him to sit down and eat together. He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. Before he started eating, he stopped and said hesitantly, "I just went out and bought … um, a person."
Qin Song gave an indifferent hum. So be it if you want to buy a person. It's just a small thing.
Yu Sheng was a bit annoyed, "On the way, I was bumped into by him for no reason. He insisted that I took his grass label and wanted me to pay for him … he has some martial arts and is very fast. I couldn't shake him off. In the end, I had no choice but to give him the money. He followed me again."
Why did this scene sound so familiar?
Qin Song asked, "Where is he?"
Yu Sheng said, "He's outside. Should I call him in? "
Qin Song nodded. After a while, a familiar voice was heard. It was still so proud, "This lowly one, Han Pu, greets gongzi!"
Qin Song looked at the dirty cloth hanging on Han Pu's body with a wooden face. He turned his head and asked Yu Sheng, "Why don't you let him change his clothes first?"
Yu Sheng said, "I don't have any clothes for him to change into … he took all the money."
So even if you don't have money to buy clothes, he has money!
Qin Song was speechless. After a while, he said, "… Let's eat."
He knew why the Shadow Guard profession was a lifelong job. It was because they couldn't survive at all if they retired.
After the meal, Yu Sheng got up and cleaned the table. Qin Song said, "Didn't you say that you've got all the servants?"
He had brought four servants from Southern Chu. According to Yu Sheng, he should have already replenished the four servants. Why did Yu Sheng have to do these things himself?
Yu Sheng's expression froze. Han Pu had eaten his fill. He hung lazily on the chair like a boss. He said with a smile, "He didn't dare to let them in. He was afraid that you would be angry."
Qin Song didn't think that he would be angry because of a few servants. But when he saw the real person, his expression changed. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Is it the same for the second prince and Qiu Yun?"
"Yes." Yu Sheng lowered his head and said, "These people were all selected from the Qin Palace."
"His Highness didn't say anything?"
The entire hostage residence was served by the eunuchs and palace maids sent by the Qin Palace. Did they really think that the hostage residence was Qin Yue's mistress?
"The Second Prince resigned, but the officials who came said that they didn't dare to neglect the Second Prince's status as a prince, so they sent these people to make the Second Prince feel at home. So, the Second Prince didn't say anything."
"Send these four people back to the Qin Palace. Tell them that Qin Song isn't a prince. They don't dare to overstep their boundaries. Tell them to take these people back. " Qin Song smiled bitterly. The hostage residence belonged to Yi An. Since he accepted it, what else could he do? He said, "Also, ask Qiu Yun if she wants to send the people around her back."
Yu Sheng agreed and hurriedly left with his men.
Qin Song turned to Han Pu and said with a frown, "What are you playing at?" He said that he would look for him later, and he really did come looking for him.
"I'm not playing!" Han Pu looked like he had suffered a blow and said, "I'm serious!"
Qin Song said coldly, "I already swore that I won't assassinate Qin Yue again. So if you want to use my identity to assassinate him, I won't agree."
Han Pu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill him!"
"Hmm?"
If Han Pu was the person he knew, then he remembered that this number one assassin of Korea had already tried to assassinate Qin Yue more than ten times. He had been seriously injured several times and narrowly escaped death. But he still didn't change his mind. How could he stop so easily?
"You might not believe me, but in fact, I'm not interested in killing Qin Yue!" Han Pu sighed and said, "It's all because of my master. He can't forget about the destruction of our country. Before he died, he forced me to swear that I would stain Qing Feng with the King Of Qin's blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't close his eyes in the underworld. Now, Qing Feng has already been stabbed into Qin Yue's chest. Although I didn't do it with my own hands, it can be considered an oath. Why would I still want to kill the King Of Qin? "
"The destruction of our country … Don't you hate it?"
"What do I hate?" Han Pu poured himself a cup of tea and drank a big mouthful. He spread out on the chair in satisfaction and said, "The destruction of our country should be hated by those high-ranking officials and nobles. Why should I hate it? I was born as a tenant farmer. My family rented dozens of acres of land. My parents and a few brothers were as tired as dogs every day, but they couldn't even fill their stomachs. I was sold to my master. Rather than saying that he wanted to sell me for some money, it's better to say that he was afraid that I would starve to death because of my young age, so he found a way to make a living for me. "
He sighed and continued, "Even so, it's good to be able to live a peaceful life like this! But there were constant wars! Wars! Wars! If we weren't attacked by others, we were going to attack others! My brothers were dragged into the army one after another. One less today, one less tomorrow … Just like this, Daehan was still destroyed. "
"Daehan was destroyed. The king lost his throne, and the officials lost their official positions … But for us ordinary people, what does it matter? Even the people who come to collect rent every year are still the same people! On the contrary, it's because there haven't been any battles these past few years that my youngest brother survived. Now the child is already three years old … "Han Pu asked," Tell me, why did I kill Qin Yue? "
Qin Song laughed bitterly. He raised the teacup in his hand and made a toast to him. He said, "That makes sense."
He drank it in one gulp.
Han Pu immediately beamed with joy and said, "You are indeed different from others. In this world, you are probably the only one who doesn't think that I'm crazy. Back then, I said the same thing to my master. In the end, I was chased by him for three days and three nights, and was almost killed by him … That was still considered good. In the following months, he constantly nagged me about loyalty and patriotism. He nagged me when I was practicing martial arts, when I was eating, and even when I was outside the toilet … I almost went crazy from his nagging. Even in my dreams, he talked about killing Qin Yue before he let me go. Now that I think about it, it was really like a nightmare. It was really too scary. "
He shuddered with lingering fear and sighed again. "But now, even if I want someone to nag in my ear, I can't."
Qin Song was silent.
However, Han Pu was depressed for a moment and became spirited again. He said with a smile, "Now that I don't have to kill Qin Yue, it's quite boring. Previously, I was thinking about rescuing you, but now that you are out on your own, I have nothing to do. After thinking about it, I think I might as well follow you. You see, first of all, I have to repay you for saving my life, right? Secondly, Qin Yue's defenses are getting tighter and tighter. If it weren't for you, I might never have been able to make him bleed. Then, in this lifetime, I will keep on assassinating, assassinating, assassinating. When I fail once, I will die! Don't you think life is so boring? So I, Han Pu, am living for Qin Yue! So to me, this is much more important than saving my life. Moreover, you have a good temper with me, so I might as well sell it to you! "
Qin Song said indifferently, "But you don't want to kill the King Of Qin, but I still want to kill him!"
Han Pu said in surprise, "Why do you still want to kill him? He didn't treat you well before, but didn't he let you go now? Even if there is a great enmity between you and him, you stabbed him in the chest like that, and he survived because he is lucky. Besides, he actually treated you well, and he couldn't bear to kill you … Listen to my advice, don't waste your good life on killing Qin Yue, it's not worth it. "
"I am from Chu." Qin Song looked at Han Pu and said indifferently, "I am a landowning household."
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his expression cold. "Anyone with some knowledge in this world knows that if the world is united, the common people will be spared from the suffering of war. But since ancient times, only people used this as a pretext to start wars and fight for the world. No one gave up everything for this reason … I, Qin Song, am naturally no exception. "
"Alright, alright!" Han Pu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to make yourself out to be so bad. Back then, when the Kingdom of Han was destroyed, I saw it with my own eyes. Not to mention someone who looks like you, even someone who is slightly fairer and prettier can die quickly. Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will bully you! "
Qin Song was speechless, and finally said helplessly, "If you want to follow me, then follow me! When you are tired of playing and unhappy, just leave. "
Han Pu didn't show any loyalty, and said with a smile, "That's good!"
He stretched and said, "I am going to take a shower and change my clothes, and also get some clothes for that silly boy. When I fought with him before, I felt that he was sinister and ruthless, and thought that he was a ruthless character, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid! Other than fighting, he doesn't know anything else, and he is so honest that it makes people embarrassed to bully him. "
Qin Song couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. You are just embarrassed to bully him, old man. If you were, how arrogant would you be?
"You fought with Yu Sheng before, aren't you afraid that he will recognize you?"
Han Pu had already walked to the door, and with his back facing Qin Song, he waved his hand and said, "If I don't even have the ability to conceal myself, why would I be an assassin?"
Could it be that he was killed again?
Qin Song opened his eyes and saw the bed's ceiling, which was carved with exquisite patterns, as well as layers of bed curtains. He was lying on the bed, refreshed. His wounds had been treated, and his body had been washed. Even his hair exuded the fragrance of locust.
If his wrists weren't chained to the head of the bed, this treatment was quite good.
"Young master, you are awake?" A petite girl with a round face and big eyes came in with a bowl of medicine, and said with a smile, "The doctor also said that you will wake up around this time, so this servant went to boil some medicine. Oh right, young master can call this servant Little Peach. "
She put down the bowl of medicine, and raised Qin Song's head a little higher, and said, "Young master had a fever last night, and this is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Come, this servant will feed you. "
It was now the cold of spring, and Qin Song was tossed around in his thin clothes for so long, and was even splashed with water several times. It would be strange if he didn't fall sick. He frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"
Little Peach said in surprise, "This is the palace, young master, you don't know? Oh right, young master was sick last night and was in a daze … "
She smiled sweetly and said, "Yesterday, it was the king who personally arranged for you. Young master, please be sure to treat your injuries … this servant has been here for three or four years, and has never seen the king so attentive to anyone!"
Qin Song didn't express his opinion, and drank two mouthfuls from Little Peach's hand. He frowned. She fed him two mouthfuls with a small spoon, and she even had to wipe the corner of his mouth. How long was she going to feed him? He would rather be held by the neck and forced to drink medicine like this.
Just as he was about to ask for a different method, Little Peach saw his frown, and her eyes were already red. She said in a panic, "I, I'm sorry, it's all this servant's fault, this servant …"
Before she could finish speaking, a light laugh came from outside the door, and there was a hint of doting in the voice, "What, you just woke up and you're already throwing a tantrum?"
Qin Song felt his hair stand on end.
Qin Yue, dressed in a black robe, pushed the door open and came in. He sat by his bed and said, "Do you want me to feed you personally?"
Qin Song pulled the iron chain on his wrist and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "I prefer to drink it myself."
Qin Yue picked up the bowl of medicine and stirred it gently. He said lightly, "A person should be content with what they have, don't you think so?"
Qin Song didn't say anything. Qin Yue stretched out the spoon, and he opened his mouth to take it. He wanted to see if he would be the first to get impatient from drinking, or if that person would be the first to get impatient from feeding.
Qin Yue had never taken care of anyone in his life. After feeding him three or four times, he saw that the medicine in the bowl only dropped a little, and he became a little irritated. However, when he saw that the youth was calm and unruffled, as if he had already expected him to be like this, he snorted coldly and continued.
The two of them didn't say anything, and drank the bowl of medicine as if they were competing with each other. Qin Song didn't have any taste in his mouth, and Qin Yue also felt that the hand holding the small spoon was stiff.
Little Peach was the only one who stared blankly. The king treats my young master so well!
When he finally finished drinking, Qin Song let out a sigh of relief. However, when he turned around, he saw Qin Yue stretch out his finger to wipe the corner of his mouth. He turned his head away in disgust.
"Are you still angry?" Qin Yue smiled good-naturedly and raised his chin to indicate, "It's dipped in the medicine."
Qin Song couldn't be counted on, and he didn't want to trouble Qin Yue. He simply stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked it.
The action of sticking out one's tongue wasn't something that looked good for everyone. Children sticking out their little tongues were extremely cute, but if it was a fat and wide tongue, it would only make people lose their appetite.
However, the tip of the youth's tongue was thin and small, and its color was pink and tender. When it deftly licked the tender and soft lips, it left behind an enticing luster … Qin Yue suddenly felt that his breathing was somewhat irregular.
Qin Song tilted his face and turned the thin gauze covering his wound to Qin Yue. If he didn't know his own limits, he would have kicked him. How could there be such a beast in the world who would be in heat at any time and place?!
Didn't they say that he collected all kinds of beauties in the palace? Why did he look like he would be in heat at the sight of a sow?!
Qin Yue frowned and took the tea offered by Little Peach. He slowly drank it and said, "This humble one has asked a godly doctor to take a look at your injury. Although I don't dare to say that it will completely disappear, it won't be a problem to treat most of it. It's just that when the medicine is applied, it's hard to endure the numbness and itchiness. I'm afraid that you'll accidentally touch it, so I'm temporarily restricting your movements. When your injury is better, I'll let you go. Don't think too much. "
How could Qin Song not hear the threat in Qin Yue's words?
The injury on his face couldn't protect him for the rest of his life. Even if it couldn't be cured, as long as he could appear in front of people alive and kicking, this matter would naturally be considered over. As for what would happen in the future, wouldn't it be up to Qin Yue to decide? Not to mention anything else, if he were to be placed in the palace like this and put on a show of doting, who would believe that he was innocent? The scholars of the world would no longer see him as one of their own. In the future, no matter what Qin Yue did to him, no one would stand up for him.
Qin Song sneered and said, "Your Majesty is so busy every day, yet you still have to worry about the trivial injury of a foreign official. It's really hard on you."
You're the dignified ruler of the most powerful country in the world, yet you've wronged yourself to put on a show of gentleness just to frame me, a follower of a country's hostage who has no weight to the world. You really have too much time on your hands.
After the scene in the prison, no matter what he said, Qin Yue would always first think about it in his mind. He almost immediately understood what he meant. His expression became slightly solemn. Recently, he seemed to have put too much thought into this young man, and he didn't have the mood to amuse himself like he did in the past.
Seeing this, Qin Song smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard of a saying: if you tell a lie a thousand times, even you will believe it to be true. Your Majesty, you must not overdo your acting and become a joke."
Qin Yue said, "I'm willing to act with you. Shouldn't you be ecstatic?"
Wasn't this the reason why they, the so-called hostages, had traveled thousands of li to Western Qin?
Qin Song also didn't understand why he had run to Daqin in the first place. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
Qin Yue stood up and said, "I still have government affairs. I'll come see you tomorrow."
He then said, "If there's anything you want to eat or play, just say it. Even if the palace doesn't have it, I'll send someone to find it for you outside."
Qin Song didn't reply, and Qin Yue didn't care. He turned and left.
After sending Qin Yue away, Little Peach patted her chest and finally felt alive. She said enviously, "Young master, the king is really good to you. Please don't be angry with the king anymore …"
Qin Song's face darkened and he didn't say anything. Little Peach hurriedly closed her mouth and said, "This servant will bring you porridge."
*****
Qin Yue, who had said he would come tomorrow, didn't show up for several days. Qin Song was happy with the peace and quiet. He ordered Little Peach to find some miscellaneous books for him to read. However, the iron chain around his wrist was too tight, so he could only sit and lie down, and let Little Peach help him flip through the books. Qin Song became impatient after reading for half an hour. He asked Little Peach to help him find someone who could read.
Little Peach hesitated for a long time before she gathered her courage and reported it. Someone who could read would be an amazing person. How could they possibly read for someone, especially someone of such status?
