Brother Wanfu

Chapter 87

"If you can't meet the princess, how do you know if the one inside is really the princess?"

Someone asked this question, Qin Tian looked over through the beaded curtain, and could vaguely see the man who spoke was nearly half a hundred years old, but he was not old, but he was full of heroic martial aura. teenager.

Qin Tian remembered that his eldest brother said that Jiang Shan, the leader of the Nancheng Army, had three sons, the youngest of which was born in old age and had not yet reached the age of hair.

So the person who spoke and the young man beside him were Jiang Shan, the leader of the Nancheng Army, and his youngest son, Jiang Mu.

Qin Tian stopped thinking when he heard Sun Wenjing laugh.

"Leader Jiang is really interesting. Has the leader seen the princess before?"

Then Jiang Shan said no, Sun Wenjing laughed even more, "If you have never met the princess, even if you meet this time, you will not be able to tell the truth from the fake, will you?"

"This..." Jiang Shan was blocked, and didn't think of how to answer for a moment.

At this time, Zhu Siwei said, "Mr. Sun's words mean that he really invited a fake princess over?"

Although it was just a question, the atmosphere in the hall became tense instantly.

The leaders of the three armies came here based entirely on their trust, if anyone tried to cheat, the matter of the alliance would come to naught, and there might be swords drawn here.

Zhang Shouyuan ran around for a long time to facilitate this matter, and immediately called the two leaders.

"You two are really joking. Is the princess real? I have also said that no one's eyes can tell, but the princess has a personal belonging. If you give it to me to take a closer look, you will know the truth."

After he finished speaking, he went to salute in front of the bead curtain, "I wonder if Your Highness can bestow a seal so that the ministers can pay their respects?"

Everyone faintly saw the woman sitting tall inside the bead curtain, and nodded calmly, without any emotion in her voice.

"allow."

Those who are trying to find something can only hear the power of alienation in this "Yuan".

Even if they live among the people again, they are still of royal blood.

The hall became quiet, only the sound of bead curtains touching, and then a maid came out with a golden box in both hands.

It is the private seal of the former crown prince who was rumored to have been missing for many years but could not be found in the palace.

The private seal is made of rare jade, carved by famous masters, no matter the material, design, carving or handwriting, it is not easy to fake.

Those two leaders also specially brought people who are proficient in this way, and everyone watched it without a single objection.

Qin Tian's heart relaxed slightly, and he also relaxed a little when he heard Zhang Daozhang's voice, "How is it?"

As long as this private seal is true, whether the princess is true or not is not so important.

Seeing his appraiser nodding to him, Jiang Shan pursed his lips and said nothing.

And Zhu Siwei sighed, "It's really Baoyin."

As he spoke, he got up suddenly, and together with his only son Zhu Hanchun, bowed to the inside of the bead curtain.

"It's the minister who is being reckless, don't blame your highness the princess."

His sudden salute and apology was not within the expectations of the Suzheng Army members.

For a moment, both Zhang Shouyuan and Sun Wenjing became nervous, fearing that the little girl in the bead curtain might not respond properly and show timidity, Zhang Shouyuan even gave Sun Wenjing a quick wink, signaling Sun Wenjing to speak for the princess.

But just when Sun Wenjing was about to speak, Mr. He gave him a look and stopped him.

Sun Wenjing didn't move for a while, but he heard a silence in the bead curtain, and then a voice came out.

"It's normal to have doubts in your heart."

These words are neither humble nor overbearing, just like a Tai Chi hand, it melts away the sudden tension without any trace.

Both Sun Wenjing and Zhang Shouyuan were startled, while Mr. He smiled slightly.

Zhu Siwei, the leader of the Guangsu Army, didn't say any more, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

After finishing speaking, he was caressed by his only son Zhu Hanchun and sat back on the seat.

Everyone couldn't help looking into the bead curtain.

The wind inside the curtain does not move at all, and the person above is as safe as a mountain.

But Qin Tian's hands were sweating.

When had she ever seen such a scene, and when had she ever spoken to a strange general leading thousands of horses and horses in such a posture?
But she didn't show timidity. After saying that sentence, she noticed the approving gaze of Mr. He who was closest to the bead curtain.

Qin Tian couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and there were two small joys in his heart that belonged only to him.

But in the next moment, he faintly noticed two eyes quietly falling from outside.

However, Zhu Siwei, who was seated, had already covered the topic just now, and talked with everyone about the serious matter of the alliance of the three armies.

But those two gazes did not take back because of this.

Qin Tian pursed his lips, trying to find out who it was, but he couldn't tell who it was because of the bead curtain.

But there seemed to be a sticky feeling in that gaze, lingering wet and sticky on the bead curtain.

After a while, it slowly slid down.

Everyone outside was talking about the alliance of the three armies, as if the sticky eyes were just an illusion.

Qin Tian frowned.

With the princess of the East Palace on the top, it will be much smoother to talk about the coalition army.

Talking about the afternoon in such a breath, Sun Wenjing sent Qin Tian back to the courtyard where he was staying to rest in person, and the leaders of the three armies continued to talk about the alliance.

So far, what the princess has to do is temporarily over.

It was the first time for the leaders of the three armies to meet here. Zhang Shouyuan had traveled back and forth many times before, and now everyone was closely watched by the imperial army. If they didn't join forces again, they might be defeated one by one.

It's just that the interests of each of the three parties must be taken into account, and no one wants to suffer. Even if Su Zhengjun is willing to give in two steps, then Guangsu Army Nancheng Army may not be easy to talk to.

The secret conversation continued until evening.

As the sun was setting outside, Qin Tian knew that it was impossible to leave today, but Mr. He also sent someone to report to her. The way is that the secret talk has already taken shape, and he will stay here tonight, and it will be finalized tomorrow. I can go back.

Today, the leaders of the three major rebel armies in the world are all here. Once news leaks, the imperial court will wipe out the leaders of the three parties, including the princess Qin Tian, ​​and the rebel army will naturally disperse.Therefore, the three parties did not dare to stay too long, no matter what thoughts they had in private, they all hoped to make a decision to leave as soon as possible.

Qin Tian didn't have to participate in these marches and battles, but she had to be present at the banquet in the name of the princess at night.

Nothing unexpected happened in the evening, and everything went smoothly, but inexplicably, Qin Tian seemed to notice those sticky gazes from the morning again.

It's like a snake uttering long messages in the dark, but no one knows where the snake exists. Once the lantern is lit, it disappears under the light.

Qin Tian couldn't help thinking of Zhu Jianying who was secretly following her when she first arrived at the academy.

The gaze in the darkness at this time is very similar to the feeling Zhu Jianying gave him at that time, but the difference is that the owner of this gaze is obviously more cunning and invisible than Zhu Jianying
Qin Tian mentioned something to Sun Wenjing after the banquet.

The latter immediately asked the guards who were guarding the scene that night, but no one saw anyone looking at the princess in the bead curtain all the time.

Qin Tian was not surprised, but Sun Wenjing also transferred some other people from his side to stand by the princess's side and obey the princess' orders.

At night, staying in a strange villa, Qin Tian stared at the intricately carved top of the bed with his eyes open.

After the life in the small courtyard in Zhucheng is over, the days in Qingzhou are gone forever.
*
Qingzhou.

Mrs. Qin sat on the armchair in a daze, her eyes fell on the ground, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Qin Guanzhong didn't know how to tell his wife a few days ago that he wanted to wait for her to get better that day, but when the person sent by his wife to Liefengshanfang to deliver the clothes of the four seasons arrived, Qin Guanzhong knew that he could not wait any longer, rather than being let down by his wife himself It was found that it was better for him to say it himself.

"Jing Niang, I didn't mean to"

Before he finished speaking, his wife suddenly raised her head.

"You think I don't deserve to know the truth, do you?"

One sentence left Qin Guanzhong speechless.

But he still wanted to try to explain, but he heard his wife snort coldly.

"Do you want to say that because you are the widow of His Highness the Crown Prince, you dare not make any mistakes, so no one can say it, only you know, even if the incident in Zhucheng breaks out, you will bite to death, then it is you outhouse."

Mrs. Qin clutched her chest, "Even if I discovered Wan Ying's handwriting and doubted her identity, you refused to reveal a word of the truth to me and Si Jin, saying that she was the orphan of Zhichen and Wan Ying." , It’s so convincing, I really believe it.”

Thinking back to the successive changes in the identity of the little girl that her husband said, Mrs. Qin wanted to laugh.

"I believe everything you say. Is this the reason why you keep refusing to tell me the truth?"

She couldn't understand, "I, Luo Jingniang, have been with you, Qin Guanzhong, for so many years. Why did you ever leak a secret from me? You still can't trust me at all, can you?"

She called her husband, "Qin Guanzhong, answer me."

Qin Guanzhong's forehead was sweating finely and densely, and the fine sweat quickly condensed together and turned into bean-sized beads of sweat.

"Jing Niang, I have never disbelieved you"

"Then why do you lie to me again and again?"

Mrs. Qin must know the answer to this question today.

But Qin Guanzhong couldn't give an answer, he just repeated it.

"I don't believe you. I never did. It's just, just. There are some things that only I know."

He lowered his head and said this sentence repeatedly.

Mrs. Qin looked at her husband. The former high-spirited husband had bent his back for some time, and there were white threads of different shades in his thick black hair. He sat there with his head down, looking like an old man. people.

A candle crackled.

His wife stopped talking. Qin Guanzhong knew that he couldn't give an answer that she could believe, and she was already extremely disappointed.

He could only get up and leave, but she suddenly called out to him.

"I don't care what you do, and I don't want to care about it in the future. I just ask you, how is that little girl? I really regard her as my daughter."

Qin Guanzhong's eyes suddenly felt hot.

"Tian Tian is very good. Sun Wenjing and the others are all respectful. Mr. He is slowly teaching her, and Si Jin is also there. She has always been close to Si Jin, and Si Jin will take care of her."

"How much?" Mrs. Qin said, "She used to be his sister, but now she is his loyal princess. Si Jin has to protect her wholeheartedly."

As Mrs. Qin said, she actually went to the Suzheng barracks.

"Anyway, you won't be a commander for a few days. It would be better if we voted for the Suzheng army early."

Qin Guanzhong didn't want to go, but the time hasn't come yet.

He hurriedly pulled Mrs. Qin back, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer and we'll go. I belong to the former prince, and I won't really serve the current emperor as a minister."

It was pitch black outside the window, and Mrs. Qin knew that they couldn't go right away.

She sat down.

She thought of the little girl she really thought of as her daughter.

"I don't know, is she afraid?"

She heaved a long sigh.

Qin Guanzhong looked at his wife under the lamp, and then at the night outside the window.

Tonight, for the first time, she was away from home with a group of people she didn't know, so was she a little scared?
Qin Guanzhong closed his eyes.

The Qin family went to the room, and there was no sound.

*
A secret villa.

Qin Tian couldn't sleep, she didn't force herself, she got up and sat under the window to read a book.

Su Ye came over to put clothes on him, Tiandong came in from the outside, and sighed, "Mr. Sun really sent a lot of guards to the princess, General Wei organized them into three squads, and there are still a lot of people left, saying that they can listen to them at any time." The princess dispatched."

As long as nothing happens, Qin Tian has nothing to do.

She flipped through the book, the candlelight kept flickering, she couldn't fall asleep, she couldn't even read the book, which made her dizzy.

Qin Tian simply closed the book, "Since there are so many guards outside, let's go for a walk."

The villa is huge and full of soldiers. Qin Tian lives in the middle of the three armies, on the side close to the Su Zheng army. As long as she doesn't go to the place where the leaders of the other two armies are, it doesn't matter.

Wei You personally led a small team of guards to accompany the princess.

Qin Tian didn't mess around, he just walked a few steps in the backyard, blowing the air and looking for some sleepiness.

But suddenly, in the quiet night, there was a sound that passed by my ears.

Qin Tian was startled, turned around and called Wei You, "Did you hear anything?"

Wei You is a son of Lian's family, so he can hear clearly better than her.

Immediately after that, the shrill voice that seemed to be muffled by something came over again, this time it was louder last time, even Tiandong Suye at the side heard it.

"Princess, what is that voice?"

Qin Tian didn't know what the sound was, but the sound was vaguely in the direction of the stove.

Although most of the kitchens were cooks brought by the Suzheng Army, in order to ensure their own safety, the boundaries of the kitchen did not belong to any party, and people from the three armies could go over to check at any time.

If it was any random sound, Qin Tian wouldn't care, but the sound was as if someone was resisting, but his mouth was forcibly covered.

Wei You is only responsible for the safety of the princess, and will not send people at will without the order of the princess.

He looked at the princess.

Qin Tian didn't need to care about any strange voices, but she thought of the sticky eyes secretly cast on her today.

She has so many guards by her side, even if she is uneasy because of unknown voyeurism, what about other people, especially the women next to her?
Seeing that the princess was silent, Wei You opened his mouth.

"There are women working on the stove. Most of them are cooks we brought from the Suzheng Army. We should ensure their safety. You should ask someone to take a look."

Wei You immediately sent three people to check the kitchen through the back door.

Qin Tian was standing at the back door of the garden, seeing three people leaving and returning from time to time, and the one who came at the same time as the three was a young cook.

But the cook's hair was disheveled, her skirt was wrinkled, and her face was stained with tears.

When she saw Qin Tian, ​​she knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness and virtue! The grass people will repay the princess for their kindness in the next life!"

　good night.
