Chapter 356

In Xu Qi'an's eyes, a mediocre old woman looks like a reflection in the water. After a while of change, she shows her original appearance, which belongs to her.

Her eyes are round and beautiful, reflecting the fire, like a shallow lake immersed in bright gems, crystal clear and moving.

She shyly raised her head, eyelashes gently tremble, with a sense of beauty.

Her lips are full and ruddy, and the corners of her mouth are exquisite, like the most attractive cherry, luring men to kiss Fangze.

She is beautiful, but her temperament and demeanor are even better, just like the fairy lady on the scroll.

"..."

Xu Qi'an has seen the most beautiful women, and she also knows that the princess of Zhenbei is known as the most beautiful woman in Dafeng, so she naturally has something extraordinary about her.

However, when he saw the legendary first beauty of Dafeng, Xu Qi'an was still filled with a strong sense of amazement. Naturally, a poem appears in my heart:

the clouds think about clothes, the flowers think about looks, and the spring breeze blows at Revlon.

If we don't meet at the head of Yushan Mountain, we will meet at Yaotai under the moon.

"Also, give it back to me..." she said in a voice of crying and pleading.

Xu Qi'an looked at her in silence, didn't continue to tease, handed her hand.

The princess snatched it and put it on again. There was another wave of light and shadow shaking. She became an ordinary old aunt again.

In his early thirties, he had mediocre features and ordinary temperament.

The princess touched her face and let out a sigh of relief. Then she hid her right hand tightly behind her. She stepped back and watched Xu Qi'an warily.

She knew her beauty was irresistible to men.

There are only two men in the world who can resist the temptation and ignore her. One is yuan Jingdi, who is addicted to Taoism and has a long life.

One is Huai Wang, who is obsessed with martial arts and has other plans for her.

As for Xu Qi'an, in the princess's inherent impression of him, the label on his body is: young hero; lust.

It is said that this man lingers in the Department of Jiaofang all day long, and has a deep entanglement with many Huakui. The young hero and unruly romantic are complementary and often talked about.

But the princess's biggest fear is lust.

It's too beautiful. No, it's not a question of whether she's beautiful or not. She's really a rare woman who reminds me of my first love... In Xu Qi'an's mind, the terrier of the previous life.

He thinks it's very appropriate, the beauty of the princess is beautiful, but what really makes Xu Qian hit by lightning is her peculiar charm, which can touch the softness of a man's heart.

Is this the first beauty of Dafeng? Oh, funny woman.

Holding the branch, Xu Qi'an poked the bonfire. Instead of seeing the princess full of vigilance and vigilance, he looked at the fire and said:

"this bracelet is what I won for you at the beginning. It has the effect of shielding breath and changing appearance."

The princess was a little surprised. Thinking of the change before and after she took off the bracelet, she thought that he was inferring it based on this and nodded.

Xu Qi'an continued: "I heard that the princess of Zhenbei is the first beauty of Dafeng. I was not convinced at first, but now I see your true face..... I can only sigh with emotion: I deserve it."

Princess Liu eyebrow light Cu, "not convinced?"

If other women said that, the princess thought she was jealous, but it was reasonable. But this sentence from the mouth of a man, it seems very strange.

Xu Qi'an nodded: "because I feel that the women I know are all outstanding beauties. They look different, just like a hundred flowers competing for beauty. The so-called princess is just a pretty flower. "

But he has to admit that in her short-lived appearance, the princess showed a strong feminine charm.

Even though he has been under fire for a long time, although he is not infatuated, he just has a moment's impulse, the impulse of male instinct.

Hearing this, the princess gave a sneer.

How can this woman be compared with her? Huakui is beautiful, but it would be insulting to compare those women with her.

In the capital, the princess felt that the eldest daughter and the second daughter of emperor Yuanjing could be her foil. When the national master Luo Yuheng was the most charming, she could compete with her, but most of the time she was inferior.

As for the other women, she either did not meet, or beautiful, but low status.

The capital is a mountain, and the princess is the one who seeks defeat alone on the top of the mountain. At a glance, she can see the brains of Huaiqing and Lin'an at most. Occasionally, take a look at half of Luo Yuheng's face.

Of course, there is another person. If she is in her prime, the princess thinks she may be able to compete with her.

She is the queen of Dafeng.

Among the women Xu Qian colluded with, Huaiqing Lin'an and the national teacher were not included. So the princess scoffed at his statement and raised her chin haughtily.

"It's nearly ten days away from Beijing. It's hard to disguise as a maid. I've had a hard time with you. " Xu Qian said with a smile."What do you mean?" The princess was stunned.

"That night when we were on deck, I wanted to pick your bracelet, but it didn't look like something out of the blue. After all, I was the organizer and had to consider the overall situation."

The princess looked at him with a dull expression and said, "you, did you guess I was the princess then?"

It's a lie. She pretends so well that she often cheers for her acting skills at night. She thinks that she plays the role of a maid like a fire and nobody recognizes it.

"To be exact, when you hit me with gold in the palace, I began to doubt. The real confirmation of your identity is that we met in the official ship. I knew then that you were the princess. The one on the boat is just a puppet. " Xu Qian said with a smile.

After abandoning the ship and leaving the land, seeing the fake princess, Xu Qi'an had no trouble at all, even more sure that she was a fake.

The reason is very simple, he had written a diary before, in which he recorded a characteristic of the princess.

I, I exposed so early... The princess opened her mouth and couldn't speak. Thinking of her performance in recent days, she felt a sense of shame that she wanted to dig three feet to bury herself.

"I never want to tell you who they are, but I don't want to ask you. We have a long way to go to the north. We need your cooperation. " Xu Qi'an comforted her.

Dafeng Xu Yinluo never forces women unless they want to open up.

Still unable to escape the fate of going north..... The princess pursed her lips. She was a little disappointed and silent for a long time. She asked, "when will we meet with the mission?"

Young silver Gong raised his head, the fire reflected on his face, the corners of his mouth, showing a smile of inexplicable meaning: "who said we would join the mission?"

...

on this night, the banyan trees rustled and nothing happened.

In the early morning, the first ray of morning light shines on her face, and the ear is the clear and sweet birdsong. She wakes up in a shallow sleep and sees that the campfire has gone out, and there is a big iron pot on it, with the smell of porridge.

The princess's stomach growled twice. She came to the campfire in surprise and opened the iron pot, which contained three or five people's porridge.

Besides, there are clean bowls and chopsticks on the side.

Where did he get the pot to cook porridge? No, where did he get the rice? Where did you get the clean dishes and chopsticks?... the princess filled herself with porridge for one night and drank it happily.

Thick sweet, just the temperature of porridge slide into the belly, the princess aftertaste for a while, curved eyebrows.

After gnawing two rabbit legs yesterday, my stomach was a little uncomfortable. I got up to drink water in the middle of the night and found that the water had been drunk by that guy. Now it's dry mouth and empty stomach.

This bowl of sweet porridge is better than delicacies.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Xu Qi'an, who was stepping on the meadow, returned. He changed into plain clothes and wore a mink cap, as if he had just finished taking a bath.

"There's a river over there. There's no one nearby. It's suitable for bathing." Xu Qi'an sat down beside her, threw soap horn and bristle toothbrush, and said:

"do you want to take a bath?"

The princess, holding the bowl in her two little hands, looked at Xu Qian for a moment and shook her head slightly.

"Not dirty?" Xu Qi'an frowned. At least she was the princess of a thousand gold. She was so unsanitary.

"You're dirty." The princess didn't know the irony of good people.

She can't take a bath. Isn't that an opportunity for this lecheron? In case he peeps around, or takes the opportunity to ask to wash together..

Yes, the goddess doesn't go to the toilet, because I'm not aware of it...., Xu Qi'an takes back the bristle toothbrush and soap horn.

"Gargling is necessary," the princess said

She had a small appetite. After eating a bowl of porridge, she felt a little propped up. She looked at the bristle toothbrush and walked to the river.

It was mainly suspected that Xu Qi'an had used the toothbrush, but she had no evidence.

When she came back after brushing her teeth, the pots and bowls were gone. Xu Qi'an sat beside the ashes, staring at the map.

"Where are we going next?" She asked.

"Sanhuang county."

Xu Qi'an didn't mean to play tricks. He explained: "this is a county adjacent to Chuzhou and Jiangzhou. There is a dark son trained by watchmen. I want to go to him first to inquire about intelligence, and then gradually go deep into Chuzhou."

In this context, Xu Qi'an believes that it is the right choice to investigate the case secretly.

Too high-profile words, will let oneself, let companion into danger.

The mission led by Yang Yan is a cover for the public.

The princess nodded slightly and asked, "where are those things?"

"It's up to you." Xu Qi'an is merciless to her.

Two people continue on the road, avoid official road, take mountain path, ridge, or directly over the mountains.

All day, a stingy woman never said a word to him again.It's also good to take the mountain road. The scenery along the way is not bad, with green mountains, green waters and long white clouds.

Occasionally, you can see the green pines on the lofty cliff, which are like covered pavilions. Also can see the roadside blooming wild flowers, simple and tough.

Xu Qi'an is a person who cherishes fragrance and jade. He doesn't walk fast. Occasionally, he stops to choose a place with beautiful scenery and have a leisurely rest for half an hour.

Talking with her about her fish culture experience often attracts the scornful sneer of the princess.

After half a decade, the mission entered the northern border and arrived at a city called Wanzhou.

Wanzhou is a small state, bigger than the county and smaller than the county. Its land is fertile and suitable for farming. It is one of the granaries of Chuzhou.

The architectural style here is similar to that of the capital of the Central Plains, but the scale is not the same. There is no wharf nearby, so the degree of prosperity is limited.

After Yang Yan showed the court documents, the centurion, the highest general on the gate, personally led them to the post station.

As soon as the mission was resting at the post station, Yang Yan took a hot bath and was about to sit down for tea when the governor of Wanzhou came.

Zhizhou's surname is Niu, but his physique doesn't match the word "Niu". He is tall and thin, with a goatee, a green robe embroidered with egrets, and two yamen behind him.

"I don't know how many adults are coming here, but I'm sorry to meet you at a distance, but I'm sorry to meet you at a distance..."

Niu Zhizhou is extremely humble. After meeting with Dali Shicheng, two imperial censors and Yang Yan, he asked, "what are you doing here?"

Yang Yan is not good at officialdom communication, did not answer.

Dali Temple Cheng took out the long prepared documents, handed them over with a smile, and began to be brothers with Zhizhou in a few words.

Niu Zhizhou and Dali Temple Cheng exchanged greetings. After that, he began to read the book in Chinese and read it carefully.

After reading the documents, Niu Zhizhou's expression was very strange, and even felt absurd. His eyes swept the crowd and said tentatively, "who is Xu Yinluo?"

With a sigh, Cheng of Dali temple said sadly, "the mission was ambushed by the enemy on the way. In order to protect everyone, Xu Yinluo was seriously injured. We have sent someone back to the capital. "

Niu Zhizhou was shocked: "what happened? It's lawless for anyone who dares to ambush the imperial mission. "

The censor, surnamed Liu, waved his hand and said, "if you don't mention it, Mr. Niu, I'll come to investigate the case and have something to ask."

Niu Zhizhou quickly made a bow: "censor, please."

Liu Yushi said in a deep voice: "what's the war situation in Chuzhou?"

Hearing this, Niu Zhizhou sighed and said: "last year, there was heavy snow in the north, which killed countless livestock. After the spring of this year, they often invade the border, burning, killing and plundering along the way.

"Fortunately, there are many soldiers under the command of Zhenbei king, and none of them has been lost. The barbarians dare not go deep into Chuzhou, but pity the people near the border. "

Not all the people lived in the city, but the people in the villages and towns who were plundered by the barbarians.

All the members of the mission looked at each other. Constable Chen of the Ministry of punishment frowned and said, "where did the blood slaughter take place

Niu Zhizhou grinned bitterly and said, "this is just a fable. You should know that the total length of Chuzhou is only eight thousand miles. If there is such a thing as slaughtering three thousand li with blood, can the lower officer still stand here and talk to the adults? "

Liu Yushi sneered: "everyone is a scholar, Niu Zhizhou, don't play with these cleverness."

"Blood slaughters three thousand li" is an allusion, which originated from the Warring States period in ancient times. A bloodthirsty general led the army to slaughter three thousand li when he destroyed the enemy country.

It is used to describe large-scale killing and cruelty.

Although the barbarians harassed the people at the border, burned, killed and looted, the king of Zhenbei sent back to Tang Bao in the north, saying that the barbarians harassed the border, but they were all defeated by him, and the good news kept coming.

If the barbarians really committed the atrocity of "killing three thousand li with blood", it was the king of Zhenbei who lied about the military situation and seriously derelicted his duty.
