Chapter 65: The Origin
In the corners of Li Xinzhu's eyes, tears flowed out, and he said in a sad tone: "Son, the little maid's real name is Li Xinzhu, and she is a native of Beiyan. ”
"Northern Yan Kingdom?"
"Exactly. Li Xinzhu paused for a moment, and then said: "The one who was with the little maid that day was named Ye Zhilan, and she was also from the Northern Yan Kingdom like the little maid. ”
Sheng Shen didn't speak, just listened quietly on the sidelines.
"Fourteen years ago, the little maid was only four years old, and that year the Northern Yan Kingdom encountered a great drought that had not been encountered for decades, and the people were struggling to make a living, and countless slaves starved to death. The little maid was born poor, and there was no surplus food at home, and later her parents almost starved to death, and they didn't want to sell the little maid, but the little maid sold herself out, a total of a bucket of rice. Later, within a year, the little maid was sold several times, but in the end, it was bought by the most famous slave trading organization in the Northern Yan Kingdom, Lang Xiaotang. The little maid also learned later that the master behind the Xiaotang was Zhu Xuning, the third prince of the Northern Yan Kingdom. And the little maid, within four years, was trained by the Xiaotang to become Zhu Xuning's spy. Originally, the little maid was trying her best to resist and was very unwilling, but the third prince somehow found the little maid's parents who thought they were dead, and used this as a threat, so the little maid had to follow. ”
"Spy?"
If it was placed a few days ago, Sheng Shen didn't know what a spy meant, that is, he had read a lot of books in the past few days, especially in "Thirty-six Articles of the Art of War", there was a detailed description of a spy and how to use it, and he only then knew what a spy was.
Speaking of "Thirty-six Articles on the Art of War", this book was not bought by him on the market, but he likes to read books these days, and after Qiu Shu found out, he sent him one of some books.
Sheng Shen didn't know why Qiushu gave him books, but now, he almost didn't refuse to come to books, there were many books, in fact, he only knew the words in them, but he didn't understand the specific meaning.
However, Sheng Shen did not panic, because from these books, he knew that there was a kind of person called Mr. Teaching, whether it was a private school or some rich and noble people, there were such people, who specialized in teaching, so he saved all these things he didn't understand, and looked forward to finding such a person in that Qiujing City to solve his doubts.
Especially some of the issues he is most concerned about, some of which he has not been able to think about in the past few years.
"Yes. Li Xinzhu continued: "Ten years ago, when the little maid was eight years old, the little maid was bought by the Three Princesses Mansion of Qiushui Kingdom in a 'coincidence' carefully arranged by the three princes. And Ye Zhilan was arranged together before the little maid was sold to the Third Princess's Mansion. In the first five years of the Three Princesses' Mansion, the two of us tried our best to gain the trust of the Three Princesses' Mansion, up and down. Five years ago, the third princess Qiushu was sent to the south of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty by Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven of Qiushui Country as a hostage, and when she came back five years later, the two of us were summoned to greet her, and then we had an encounter with Gongzi at the Wushan Station. ”
"Hmm. ”
Sheng Shen didn't expect that the two people who brought him hot water to bathe had such a bizarre background, she had a father and a mother, but compared to him, a person who had no father and no mother, and didn't even know what his parents were before, it didn't seem to be much better, they were all poor people in the world.
Suddenly, Sheng Shen couldn't help but have a sense of sympathy.
Sheng Gray's strange silence was immediately captured by Li Xinzhu, she smiled proudly in her heart, everything seemed to be so smooth, it seemed, Sheng Gray was really as she judged before, not deeply involved in the world, so it's good, now Ye Zhilan was inexplicably asked to leave by the little prince of the Southern Zhou Guosu Palace, she is now alone, and her identity, with a great probability, has been known by Qiu Shu, if you can't find a reliable backer in the short term, who is willing to speak for her, the consequences can be imagined.
And Sheng Ash is indeed an excellent goal, the potential is huge, it is conceivable that in the future, Sheng Ash will not be around him, there will be no shortage of all kinds of people who serve, and if you can get Sheng Ash's trust as soon as possible, the more you can become Sheng Ash's henchman, the benefit, not only is there hope that you can really save your parents, so that your parents can get real freedom, even yourself, the future is bright.
Perhaps after this incident, it may be a blessing in disguise.
Li Xinzhu forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, but her face was even more lonely, she smiled sadly, and was about to continue to describe herself more miserable, in order to strengthen Sheng Gray's sympathy for her.
I didn't think about it, but Sheng Shen's voice suddenly sounded: "That's all you want to tell me, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, I'm going to go first, I still have something to do when I go back." ”
Sheng Shen's voice sounded at the door, and when he spoke, he had already put his hand on the door, ready to open the door and go out.
Although Sheng Shen doesn't understand a lot about the world, but he is not stupid, Li Xinzhu, as a spy of a country, found him inexplicably, and inexplicably said such a lot of things, if you want nothing to say, it is impossible, but no matter what she does, Sheng Shen doesn't want to get involved.
There are still a lot of things he doesn't understand, and where can he have the spare energy to help others.
Moreover, Sheng Shen did not ignore one point, Li Xinzhu's disguise technique is so strong, I am afraid that she understands much more than he knows, in this case, what she wants him to do, either he can't do it at all, or, it is a difficult thing, just like what Xiaoyu wants him to do every time, it is difficult and troublesome.
Sheng Shen was not willing to do such a thing for the sake of a stranger.
Therefore, before Li Xinzhu continued, he made his refusal clear.
Li Xinzhu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that she completely underestimated Sheng Gray's heart, Sheng Shen may be kind and simple, but she is by no means stupid, if she is smart again, maybe this only chance will also disappear.
Li Xinzhu gritted his teeth, straightened up directly from the position of kneeling on the ground, and said: "Son, the previous attack on the camp was caused by the two of them using a secret method to send a message to Zhu Xuning, the third prince of the Northern Yan Kingdom, which led to this ash sweeping operation. ”
"What did you say?
Li Xinzhu only felt a flower in front of her, and the ash that was still in her field of vision just now suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared in front of her.
Sheng Shen's expression was very calm, but Li Xinzhu saw a suppressed anger in his eyes.
A fury that could consume her, an anger that could break the bones of her fans, it was a deep murderous machine.
Li Xinzhu fought a cold war, telling the truth in this way was indeed her method of being in a hurry, just to keep Sheng Ash behind, she had thought in advance that Sheng Shen might be angry, but she didn't expect that Sheng Shen actually had murderous intent against her.
Although the ash sweeping operation was indeed recruited by her and Ye Zhilan, it did not cause any substantial damage to Sheng Ash, and the main purpose of the ash sweeping operation was also to snatch Sheng Ash away, and it was really impossible to snatch it, so there was a plan to kill.
She has now completely given up the plan to kill Sheng Ash, before she came, she had thought of this scene, in her thoughts, Sheng Ash may be angry, but she will never be angry to this extent, because to put it bluntly, the reason why there is a dust sweeping operation, the reason is because Sheng Ash's qualifications are too outstanding, and the third prince wants to snatch it.
Li Xinzhu lay down again, touched the ground with his head, and said quickly: "Yes." The ash sweeping operation was indeed arranged by the two of us and the three princes, but the two of us have never had any bad intentions towards the son. Originally, the two of us wanted to talk to Gongzi on the evening of the same day, and wanted to persuade Gongzi to join the Beiyan Kingdom, but Gongzi didn't let the two of us enter the room at all, so the two of us made this decision. ”
"So, is it my fault?"
"I would never dare to think about it. Childe Mingjian, the two of us thought at the time that Childe joined the Qiushui Kingdom that respects women, and with Childe's qualifications, there is a great possibility that he will be depressed in the future, but joining the Beiyan Kingdom can show his life ambitions, which can live up to Childe's talents. There is no intention of harming the child. ”
Li Xinzhu's voice was earnest, as if everything he said was true.
"But do you know that your so-called sweeping operation this time has led to so many deaths, so many injuries, and Liu Qiang also died because of it. ”
Sheng Gray's voice was extremely cold, and it seemed that the suppressed emotions in his heart might explode at any time.
"Don't dare to deceive the child, we do have some expectations for possible injuries. However, the war between the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Qiushui Kingdom has started from the establishment of the Qiushui Kingdom and has lasted for hundreds of years, which year, which action, is not your life or death, this time Gongzi only saw the casualties of the soldiers of the Qiushui Kingdom, but Gongzi knows that five years ago, an operation in the Qiushui Kingdom caused 20,000 casualties in the Northern Yan Kingdom, half of which were innocent civilians and slaves. ”
Sheng Shen is silent, he has never participated in the war, and he has never seen it with his own eyes, even in some of the books that Qiu Shu gave him, there are not many positive descriptions, "Thirty-six Articles of the Art of War", it is only about various types of troops, the use of battle formations, and rarely seen, the portrayal of the war itself, so, for what Li Xinzhu said, Sheng Shen is not deeply touched, but I just feel that if what Li Xinzhu said is true, then the war is really too tragic.
"Childe, the little maid said this, not to excuse the two of us, the two of us are indeed at fault, which is why I met with Childe today. It is very likely that the third princess already knows about the matter of the two of us, and I don't know why His Royal Highness did not take action against us, but the two of us want to plead with the son, and when the third princess wants to kill the two of us, the prince please protect the two of us. ”
Li Xinzhu said, straightened up, took out something from his arms, raised his hands high, and presented it in front of Sheng Gray.
