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 abraded. However, at this moment,
There were only faint red marks 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 there were no flaws to be found.
This body was different.
Qin Song realized that he was not surprised by this change,
He did not feel the slightest bit surprised or shocked... as expected,
Did he forget something?
He thought of the barrier in the dark again,
Obviously..,
It was not 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 washed up briefly,
He was guarding outside,
Seeing him open the door,
He consciously went in to help pour the water.
Qin Song dried his hair until it was half-dry,
He combed it and put a thin blanket on his shoulders to block the water. He looked at Yu Sheng, who was busy beside the small stove, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't like to live a muddle-headed life,
So..,
There are some words..,
I have to make it 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 would not like to have someone sent by Qin Yue by his side. However, Qin Song also knew that no matter how much he did not like it, he could not 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 hide in the shadows, 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 dependent on anyone. Therefore, 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 sympathize with 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 a bit red, "Can I … get a little 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? Why was this secret guard, who was once ranked Black No.1, 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 until it was dark — he hadn't had such a good sleep in nearly two months.
When Qin Song was awakened by a tempting fragrance, he found that it was already dusk. He got up and went outside. 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 where he lost his mind with 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, there was obviously no such thing as 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 get rid of him. 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 moment, 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 if they retired, they couldn't live at all.
After the meal, Yu Sheng got up and cleaned the table. Qin Song said, "Didn't you say that you have 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. This 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 then turned to Han Pu. He frowned and said, "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 as if he had been dealt a blow. He said, "I'm serious!"
Qin Song said coldly, "I've already sworn that I won't try to 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 really 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 make the King Of Qin stain Qing Feng with his blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to 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 a cup of tea for himself 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 was better to say that he was afraid that I would starve to death because of my young age, so he wanted to find a way for me to survive. "
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! A few of my brothers were pulled 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 what does it have to do with us ordinary people? 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 am 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 I was almost beaten to death … 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 anymore."
Qin Song was silent.
However, Han Pu was only depressed for a moment before he 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 I will keep on assassinating, assassinating, assassinating for the rest of my life. 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 huge grudge between you and him, you stabbed him in the chest like that. He is lucky to be alive. Besides, he actually treated you quite well. Even so, he couldn't bear to kill you … Listen to my advice, don't waste your good life on killing Qin Yue. It is not worth it. "
"I am from Chu." Qin Song looked at Han Pu and said indifferently, "I am from 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 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 like you, even someone slightly fairer and prettier would be lucky if they could die quickly. Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will bully you! "
Qin Song was speechless. In the end, he said helplessly, "Follow me if you want! When you are tired of playing and unhappy, just leave. "
Han Pu didn't show any loyalty. He smiled and said, "That's good!"
He stretched and said, "I am going to take a shower and change my clothes. I will also get some clothes for that silly boy. When I fought with him before, I felt that he was sinister and ruthless. I thought he was a ruthless character, but I didn't expect him to be such a fool! Other than fighting, he doesn't know anything else. He is so honest that I am embarrassed to bully him. "
Qin Song couldn't help but roll his eyes. You are just embarrassed to bully him. 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. 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?"
After Han Pu left, Qin Song sat in a daze for a moment. He got up and found a brush and ink to write, "Mountains gather like a gathering, waves like angry waves, mountains and rivers on the surface of Tongguan Road. Gazing at the western capital, I am hesitant. Grieving for the Qin and Han Dynasties, tens of thousands of palaces turned to dust. Prospering, the people suffer; perishing, the people suffer. "
Then, he looked at the words he had written in a daze.
When he heard Han Pu talk about his family, these words inexplicably appeared in his mind. It was just like the sentence, "Born in sorrow and disaster, die in peace and happiness."
However, he clearly didn't even know what kind of poem this was, and he didn't understand what the "Han" in the Qin and Han Dynasties meant.
Was he possessed by some kind of wandering ghost? Thinking of the familiar power that had surged out of nowhere that day, he would rather believe that he was the wandering ghost than be possessed by a wandering ghost.
However, his memories and emotions from when he was young were so clear and deep.
… …
When Han Pu finished tidying up and came out, Qin Song was no longer in the room. Han Pu was very familiar with the hostage residence, so he quickly found him in the garden.
Qin Song was performing a sword dance.
Qin Song was performing a sword dance. Qin Song was good at the zither, good at singing, and good at dancing. However, he wasn't good at the sword. In his hands, the sword was nothing more than a dancing prop.
Qin Song was performing a sword dance. Although it was flashy and impractical, it was extremely beautiful.
Under the bright moonlight, the young man in white seemed to be glowing. His wide sleeves fluttered like clouds, his flexible waist, his fine black hair fluttering in the wind, his long sword overflowing with cold light … Han Pu couldn't describe it, but he felt that every movement of the young man exuded a fatal attraction. It attracted his eyes and made his heart beat wildly. It made him not dare to speak, not dare to breathe …
The young man's movements were originally slow and graceful, but towards the end, they gradually became more and more intense. He moved and flipped on the ground, his sword danced and stabbed in the air. Each strike was faster than the previous one, and each strike was heavier than the previous one … Han Pu's ears seemed to be able to hear the sound of war drums, and his eyes seemed to be able to see the fury of thunder. He only felt frightened and was unable to return to his senses for a long time.
Finally, the thunder stopped and the drums stopped. The wind calmed and the waves calmed down.
Qin Song sheathed his sword and saw Han Pu's stupidly staring eyes and mouth wide open. He frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
However, although he was stupid, he wasn't annoying. His eyes were clear and bright, and there was only admiration and nothing else.
Han Pu swallowed his saliva and said, "I finally understand why Qin Yue treated you so …"
Qin Song interrupted, "Qin Yue has never seen me perform a sword dance."
"Ah?" That's not possible, right?
Qin Song said indifferently, "Qin Song's sword dance is a pastime, but it's for me, Qin Song, to pass the time and entertain myself. It's not to please others."
"Oh …" Han Pu didn't know how to continue the conversation. He thought for a while and said, "Why don't I teach you swordsmanship?"
Qin Song looked at him in surprise and shook his head. He said, "No need." In this era, skills couldn't be taught easily, let alone martial arts skills that could help one settle down and establish one's life. Moreover, he didn't feel that he needed such things.
Han Pu advised, "Your sword dance was beautiful, but the sword is used to kill people. What's the use of looking beautiful?"
Qin Song said, "I can create the world's most beautiful sword dance, so naturally I can create the world's most powerful swordsmanship."
Han Pu said, "Looking beautiful and killing people are two different things, okay? According to what you said, aren't those dancing beauties all experts? "
"They can't, but I can." Qin Song paused and said with certainty, "Of course I can."
Han Pu was speechless at Qin Song's inexplicable confidence. He said, "Even if you want to create your own swordsmanship, you have to first familiarize yourself with it …"
Han Pu couldn't finish his sentence because he found that Qin Song was no longer performing the sword dance, but practicing a single straight thrust over and over again. He closed his eyes, as if he was repeating the same simple and boring action, but Han Pu, who was proficient in swordsmanship, was shocked. Qin Song's every action was completely different. He seemed to be constantly making subtle adjustments to make this strike faster, more accurate, more ruthless, and more invulnerable! All of this seemed to be instinctive.
He suddenly believed Qin Song's words. He might really be able to create the world's most powerful swordsmanship. So in this world, there were really geniuses who were born to use swords?
Qin Song gestured with his eyes closed and said, "If you have nothing to do, go and find me a sword."
Han Pu didn't want to leave now. He said angrily, "Isn't the thing in your hand a sword?"
Qin Song said, "It's too light."
A sword for dancing and a sword for killing were, after all, different.
"Oh."
Qin Song said, "You know where the money box is. Go and get it yourself."
Han Pu answered unhappily. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned around and saw Qin Song suddenly bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, and his body was somewhat unsteady.
Han Pu's expression changed greatly. He took two steps to Qin Song's side, helped him sit down on a stone bench, and held his wrist.
Qin Song had long been accustomed to vomiting blood. He rinsed his mouth with tea and said in surprise, "You also know medicine?"
Han Pu said angrily, "Shut up, don't talk!"
After a long time, he released his hand with a serious expression and said, "How did you get such a serious internal injury? You were fine last time … "
Suddenly, his expression changed dramatically. He said angrily, "What did Qin Yue do to you?"
Qin Song couldn't help but think of those disgusting things. His expression was a bit ugly. He said, "It's just a small injury. Don't take it to heart."
"A small injury?" Han Pu said angrily, "Do you know what kind of situation you are in now? Right now, you're like a vase that's covered in cracks but hasn't completely shattered. A gust of wind or a cough might cause you to scatter! "
He bent over and squatted in front of Qin Song. He said in a low voice, "Come up!"
"What are you doing?"
Han Pu said with a sullen face, "I'll take you back to your room first, and then I'll call the doctor."
Qin Song found it difficult to explain his current physical condition. He was too lazy to explain. He said, "There is a green porcelain bottle in the box in my room. It contains the medicine made by Qin Yi. You run fast, help …"
Before he could finish his words, Han Pu had already run off without a trace.
Qin Song closed his eyes and recalled the feeling when he was practicing the sword just now. He always felt that something was missing. It was as if the thing in his hand was separated by a thin barrier. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch it.
What should he do … He couldn't find someone to anger him again, could he?
While he was frowning and thinking, his wrist was suddenly grabbed. Qin Song opened his eyes and saw Han Pu looking at him angrily. He said angrily, "Do you want to die?"
Qin Song looked at his right hand that was grabbed by Han Pu. He silently relaxed his fingers that had unknowingly formed a sword. He pushed Han Pu's hand away and poured himself a glass of water.
Han Pu's face was very ugly. He said, "You haven't given up yet?" Otherwise, why would he still be thinking about the sword art at this time?
Qin Song frowned. He didn't want to lie to Han Pu, and he also couldn't explain his current condition. Although his injuries looked serious, they weren't fatal. That force had broken his body, but at the same time, it was firmly glued together and constantly improved his physique. It could be said that in his current condition, except for spitting out a small mouthful of blood from time to time and feeling pain for a while, he was actually better than anyone else.
He said, "Han Pu, I asked you to follow me, but it doesn't mean that you can interfere with my business." He wanted to say that he was fine, but he needed someone to believe him!
Han Pu said angrily, "Is it worth it for you to risk your life for a Qin Yue?"
Qin Song didn't say anything. He held the glass and sipped slowly.
Han Pu saw that he didn't take his words seriously. He said angrily, "Well, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been injured like this. Since you can't let it go, I'll kill him for you!"
He turned around and walked away.
Qin Song shouted, "Han Pu!"
Qin Yue had just recovered from his injuries and was at his most vigilant. What was the difference between an assassination at this time and seeking death?
Han Pu stopped, but didn't turn around. He said coldly, "You told me to stay out of your business, then stay out of my business as well!"
"I don't want to bother with your business, but I have a few things to say to you." Qin Song said calmly, "First, my injury has nothing to do with Qin Yue, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't take everything on yourself. Second, I didn't risk my life. Even if I risked my life, it wouldn't be for Qin Yue. It could only be for myself. Third, I know my injury better than anyone else. It won't get better because of careful nursing, and it won't worsen because I practice martial arts. "
Qin Song paused and continued, "It's up to you whether you believe these words or not. If you want to kill Qin Yue, it's up to you. But it has nothing to do with me. If you want to die, don't do it in my name."
Han Pu didn't move for a long time. Qin Song was angry at his stubbornness, but Han Pu suddenly turned around and sat down beside Qin Song. He put the medicine bottle on the stone table and poured another glass of water for him. He smiled and said, "Take the medicine, take the medicine!"
Qin Song stared at him. How could this person's face change so quickly?
Han Pu giggled and said, "Of course I believe your words. But it's rare for you to be so concerned about me and say so many words in one breath. I wanted to hear more, but you didn't say anything after waiting for so long. "
Qin Song was speechless and took the medicine silently.
Although Qin Yi's medicine didn't have any effect on his injury, it was very effective in relieving the pain. Every time he had an attack, he felt as if his whole body was being torn apart. Qin Song, who was not afraid of pain, found it difficult to bear.
Qin Song sat for a while and recovered. He was about to ask Han Pu to leave so that he could continue practicing swordsmanship when he suddenly heard voices. He turned around and saw a few lanterns swaying in the woods. It seemed that they were heading toward his small courtyard.
Han Pu said, "It should be the silly big guy coming back with people."
…
Yu Sheng left with four people, but came back with forty people. Men and women of all ages stood in a few rows, waiting for Qin Song to choose. The manager carefully waited on the side, saying that he didn't think it through and so on.
The staff of the hostage residence was supposed to be provided by Daqin, so Qin Song didn't refuse. He chose four women in their thirties or forties, who looked neat and tidy, and asked the manager to take the others back. The manager strongly suggested that he keep a cook, a sewing nanny, two coachmen, and a servant.
Yu Sheng took the people to settle down. Han Pu sighed and complained, "People pick young and beautiful people, but you … at least leave one for us to look at!"
When Qin Song was in Southern Chu, he also liked to use young and beautiful girls. But now, he didn't know why he changed his mind. If a girl was born beautiful, even if she was a servant who sold her body, it was inevitable that she would be arrogant. He used to be happy to coax them. Even if the maidservants threw tantrums at him, he also felt that it was interesting … but now, he didn't have such thoughts.
He frowned and said, "Don't you think he's too attentive? I always feel that I've overlooked something. "
Han Pu said, "How can it be? Qin Yue is so infatuated with her. It's strange that he's not attentive, right? "
"Ying …" Qin Song suddenly realized that he was really confused!
When he failed to assassinate Qin Yue and was captured, he felt that he was going to die. In order to protect Yi An, he told Qin Yue that only by pretending to be infatuated with Yi An could he confuse the Qi people. But no matter how infatuated Qin Yue was with Yi An, he wouldn't let go of the assassin who directly attacked him.
Now that he was here alive, it was obvious that he replaced Yi An's position of being "infatuated" …
Qin Song touched his forehead and said, "Tomorrow, take my token to Nan An Teahouse and tell them that I'm going to have tea in two days. Ask them to reserve a room by the window facing the south."
Han Pu blinked and said, "Huh?"
It's just tea. Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?
Qin Song said lightly, "If I stay here, I'm like a sparrow with its wings tied. What's the use of practicing martial arts? I have to leave Daqin first. "
Han Pu said, "Leave Daqin? Isn't it easy? This is my profession … "
Suddenly, he remembered that this young man's ability to escape was not inferior to his. He said, "You want to leave openly? I think you should stop dreaming. How can Qin Yue let you go? "
Qin Song said, "Don't say it's impossible when you haven't tried."
He got up and went back to his room.
Suddenly, he sighed softly. It had only been two months since he came to Qin, but more things had happened than in the previous ten years. Even now, when he thought about what happened in Southern Chu, it was like a dream, hazy and unreal.
The carriage stopped. Qin Song got off and knocked on the door. No one answered for a long time. The carriage left without waiting for him, but the young man in the same carriage got off and stood quietly behind him.
Qin Song frowned and said, "You're not leaving?"
The young man said, "His Majesty ordered me to follow you."
His tone seemed to always be flat, without the slightest emotion.
Qin Yue had personally given the order. Whether it was to monitor or protect, Qin Song had no room to refuse. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What's your name?"
The young man was stunned. He seemed to feel that this was a tricky question. After a while, he said, "I used to be called Rho Minoris."
"Qin Yue's Shadow Guard?"
The young man's pupils shrank.
Qin Song looked at him and said lightly, "Since you're no longer a Shadow 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 do you know that I am …"
Of course, Qin Song understood what he meant and said, "It's not hard to guess. It's rare to see someone using a number as a name. And from your tone, the name Xuan Yi should belong to someone else now. It's obvious that it's just a code name … A person who completely replaces his name with a code name, if he's not a shadow guard, what else can he be?"
The young man didn't 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."
He said again, "Since His Majesty ordered me to follow you, please give me a name."
Qin Song shook his head. "The family name is passed down from the ancestors, and the name is entrusted to the hopes … A name is a very important thing. Don't give this right to others casually."
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 he hadn't assassinated 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 ever since he could remember, but when he faced this young man, he couldn't bring up the slightest bit of hatred.
