This was the anti-theft badge used to fight against the capture machine,
Don't worry, you'll see the main text later!
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 of what happened in Southern Chu,
It was as if it had happened in a dream,
It was hazy and unreal.
The carriage stopped. Qin Song got out of the carriage and knocked on the door. No one answered for a long time. The carriage left without waiting for him to enter, but the young man in the same carriage got out 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 be always flat, without the slightest emotion.
Qin Yue personally gave 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,
He seemed to feel that this question was very tricky. After a while, he said, "I used to be,
Rho Minoris. "
"Qin Yue's secret guard?"
The young man's pupils constricted.
Qin Song glanced at him and said lightly, "Since you're 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 he didn't know how to relax,
After a moment, he asked, "How do you know that I am …"
He stopped halfway through his words,
Qin Song naturally understood what he meant,
"It's not difficult to guess. It's rare to use numbers as names, and from your tone, the name Rho Minoris should belong to someone else now. It can be seen that it's just a code name … A person who completely replaces his name with a code name, if he's not a secret guard, what else can he be?"
The young man didn't know how to answer. Qin Song asked again, "What's your real name?"
After thinking for a moment, the young man shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
Then he said, "Since His Majesty ordered me to follow you, you can give me a name."
Qin Song shook his head. "The surname is passed down from the ancestors, and the name is entrusted with expectations … A name is a very serious matter. Don't give this right to others casually."
She 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 had not tried to assassinate Qin Yue, he would not have almost lost his life due to dereliction of duty. Although his life was saved 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 was not allowed to have his own love and hate ever since he could remember, when he faced this young man, he could not 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're happy."
At this moment, the door finally opened with a creak. The person inside was slightly stunned. "It's you? You still have … "
In the end, he wasn't used to scolding people, so he didn't say anything unpleasant. He only said coldly, "We don't welcome you here!"
With a 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. Her expression was haggard and she had lost a lot of weight. 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 had not had time to wipe them clean because she had hurried to open the door.
What exactly happened in the hostage residence?
The door was opened again. When she saw that it was still Qin Song, Qiu Yun's expression became impatient. She turned her hand and was about to close the door again, but a strong hand pressed against 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 coldly looked at Qin Song. She turned around 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, untrimmed. The peach blossoms had already withered, but scattered petals were still left 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, but there were originally many people. Yi An, Qin Song, and Qiu Yun had each brought their own people. There were also the cooks, grooms, gardeners, and so on that had been brought by Southern Chu. But 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 had been 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 answered indifferently. She turned around and looked at Qin Song. There was still half a sentence she didn't say — but the real assassin was sent back.
"I still have something to do. Help yourself." After Qiu Yun finished speaking, she didn't go back to her room. Instead, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
Qin Song walked to his courtyard. As soon as he took a step, he heard a very soft cough. His expression immediately stiffened. He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and quickly walked past Qiu Yun into the kitchen.
Yi An was squatting on the ground, feeding firewood into the stove. The firewood was green and wet, and the black smoke 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. He turned around and walked out.
"Qin Song!"
Qin Song turned around. Yi An smiled, "… There's 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, "… Thank you, Your Highness."
He strode away.
His room was still the same as when he left. Everything was neatly arranged, and there was no dust on the table. It seemed that someone cleaned it regularly. 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 by Qin Yue's side for a long time, but this was the first time he saw Qin Song angry. He said uneasily, "Did you lose something? Why don't I … "
Qin Song shook his head and squatted down with a sullen face. He slowly put the gold and silver scattered in the box 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.
Qin Song thanked him. When Yu Sheng went out, his face darkened again. His fingers tightly grasped the gold ingot in his hand. A flame of anger burned in his chest. The person was gone, but the money was still there. If he couldn't use the people of Chu, he could hire the people of Qin. If he couldn't hire the people of Qin, 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 man!
Suddenly, his expression changed and he shouted, "Come out!"
"Eh? You can even hear me 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 up the box. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"Not only am I here, I'm also living here," the young man said proudly. "Everyone says that the people of Qin are so and so powerful. In the end, I'm living here openly. However, 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 and 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 Qingfeng. You used it to stab that brat Qin Yue. I can't even wait to be happy. Why would I ask you for it?" The young man said, "You forgot, you even ate my poison pill!"
Qin Song replied with an 'oh' and said, "You mean, that boiled soybean?"
The young man widened his eyes. "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 find 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 to attract your attention … "
Bird call?
The young man was surprised to see the young man who almost never smiled suddenly smile. 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.
The young man suddenly pursed his lips and 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, what I learned was the best thrush's call in the mountains. When I learned the bird's call, 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's call. Then tell me, why would a thrush's 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. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't sneak in!"
Then he said, "Don't worry. If there is a next time, I won't learn the thrush. I will learn the sparrow's call!"
Qin Song shook his head and laughed. He didn't speak anymore.
In fact, there wasn't even a sparrow's call 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, it's not that I want to criticize you, but last time you lied to me and told me to pretend to stab you to delay the pursuers. In the end, you went to do the assassination 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 exultation, "Your Second Prince and that girl called Qiu Yun don't even know how to buy things. They don't have any power, so those people are just trying to cheat them. Shriveled old vegetable stems, hollow radishes, moldy brown rice … all of them are sold at sky-high prices. And those 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 good enough that the firewood she chopped is 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, so you must have a lot of things to do. I'll go first and come back to you later. By the way, my name is Han Pu, Han Pu. "
He waved his hand at Qin Song and jumped out of the window.
In the original work, this jade slip was also given to Fang Tuo by the original owner. However, it was thrown to him as a piece of trash in order to let him see the distance between himself and Lin Ling-er clearly after the marriage was broken. But how could the basic cultivation method arranged by the author for the male lead really be trash? Therefore, the male lead began to come into contact with the cultivation world and slowly began to rise.
Linno was not the original owner. He was not an arrogant person, let alone facing the male lead who would sweep through the world in the future. However, he didn't have any intention of pleasing him, so he casually gave the jade slip to him.
Linno felt very uncomfortable letting Fang Tuo die holding on to the thing he gave him, so he took out the jade slip.
However, as soon as his hand touched the jade slip, a passage of words floated out.
It didn't raise its head, nor did it sign off. It only used a flat tone to tell him that the iron plate around his neck was actually a spatial artifact. Some of the spiritual herbs inside could be used to refine the Bone Changing Pill, which was good for his injuries, so he shouldn't casually sell it. The map hidden in the black box was a secret area in the endless sea. It was said that there was a Longevity Fruit there, but it was very dangerous inside, so he shouldn't try it if he wasn't confident. Three years later, there would be an auction at the Bay Pavilion. The spirit stones he had saved up should be enough to buy a Cultivation Pill, so he shouldn't forget to go and take a look. The spiritual milk in the purple gourd could restore all the spiritual energy in his body with a single sip. If he carried it with him, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of spiritual energy when he fought with others.
Linno didn't finish reading. He slightly used his fingertips and the jade slip turned into powder. He waved his hand and the powder floated away.
Then he sneered.
He never understood why Fang Tuo would do such a thing to him. The Fang Tuo he knew in the novel wasn't casual about the matters between men and women. Although he clearly distinguished kindness and hatred, no matter how big the favor, he would never repay it with his own body. Even if he was injured because of him, Fang Tuo shouldn't have done that. Now it seemed that although he didn't know the reason, Fang Tuo might like him.
But so what if he liked him? Could he do whatever he wanted without caring about other people's wishes?
Perhaps at the beginning, he was unconscious, so Fang Tuo couldn't ask for his opinion. However, when he woke up later, he remembered very clearly that Fang Tuo never explained anything to him, nor did he ask if he was willing. No matter how much he tried to resist, she never stopped assaulting him.
Linno sneered. Was this kind of love without any respect worthy of being called love?
He and Fang Tuo had only met a few times and spoke less than ten sentences. He knew very well that he didn't love Fang Tuo, and he disdained Fang Tuo's so-called love for him.
Lin Nuo didn't go to retrieve his spatial Dharma treasure, nor did he leave. He sat down on the ground and began to drink jug after jug of wine, waiting for Fang Tuo to die so that he could get him out of his room.
