Chapter 003: No Face and No Skin
Two days later, Ji Liming, Qianyi and Yutai officially arrived at the tea stall ten miles outside the capital of Qi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After a few days of chasing the ice and snow road, the three of them were dusty, and seeing that they had entered the capital of Qi State, they slowed down and used refreshments at the tea stall first.
In the morning fog, the vendors carry a washed towel on their shoulders and greet the passing customers while carrying teapots to fill the water.
Ji Liming sat down in the most inconspicuous corner and ordered a pot of tea, a bowl of beef and a basket of xiaolongbao.
Tantai Yin didn't want to sit in, but her appearance was too outstanding, and when she stood outside, she could immediately attract the attention of pedestrians on the road, Ji Liming didn't want her to be too ostentatious, so she asked Qianyi to pull her in.
Piercing a xiaolongbao with chopsticks, Qianyi took a bite and praised it repeatedly: "It's really good." ”
After finishing speaking, Qianyi looked at Yutai Yin and asked, "High Priest, do you want to taste it?" ”
He didn't speak.
Ji Liming raised his eyebrows and looked at the platform.
Along the way, Tan Tai Yin really didn't eat anything, and since the cave incident, she has become even more silent, even Qianyi is difficult to approach, and Ji Liming doesn't dare to offend this ancestor easily, and she can hide. But now that he has arrived in the capital of Qi State, he is about to devote himself to business, and it is no longer the time to lose his temper and be awkward. Finding a rare opportunity to speak, Ji Liming whispered: "High priest, it's okay if you don't eat, but you have to change your clothes." ”
Yutai was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at Ji Liming, and his face was expressionless.
Ji Liming's body shook and quickly explained, "I mean, we can't enter the capital with our real identities, we need to dress up in disguise, otherwise it will cause big trouble if people discover our identities." ”
Yutai was surprised, stood up and said stiffly: "This seat will go to the carriage to change." ”
"Qianyi, you go too." Ji Liming said.
"Huh?" Qianyi glanced at herself up and down, "Do I want to change it too?" "The clothes she wears are just a simple Luo skirt, which is not ostentatious, but she has to change it?
Ji Liming patiently explained, "This time, we are going to enter the capital of Qi as a businessman, you two have to change your clothes and dress up as my maidservant, the clothes have already been prepared, let's go." ”
Liuli Bay is the jurisdiction of the sea area of Qi State, to go to Liuli Bay, they must first have the passage order of the Qi State Government and a solid boat, preferably a tall building boat, the kind that can cross the rapids, so they came to the capital first. However, it is not possible to use his true identity, so Ji Liming thought of pretending to be a merchant, so that he could openly use his business as an excuse to board the merchant ship of Qi State.
Qianyi understood, nodded and said, "Then I will listen to my brother." ”
"Handmaiden?" Yutai paused for a moment, turned his head and frowned at Ji Liming.
Ji Liming raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, we only have this way, if you don't want to deign, you can also play my wife's ......." Ouch...... Pain, pain, I'm kidding, don't be so serious! ”
Ji Liming covered the ear that had been pulled by the platform and screamed.
Yutai gave him a cold look, turned around and walked out.
Seeing the platform lead away, Ji Liming put down the hand that protected his ears and picked up the chopsticks to eat beef again.
On the table not far away, three men dressed as tenants whispered while eating tea: "Have you heard, Gong Qi is sick in bed, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay up for long." ”
"Shhhhh
"Even if I don't say it, everyone in the capital knows that since Gongzi Halberd and Gongzi Lin fought and both lost and died, Qi Gong's body has deteriorated, and now there is no heir, Qi Gong is naturally exhausted, and it is inevitable that his condition will be aggravated."
"Who says there are no heirs?" Another said: "Isn't there still Qi Gong's younger brother Yang Jun?" ”
Hinata-kun?
Ji Liming's mind moved.
I only heard that the few people who ate tea said: "I heard that Duke Qi also has a young son, who was born to the late Concubine Mei (note: the young concubine is the name of the concubines of the princes during the Warring States Period), from birth to the age of eight were raised as a daughter, and then for some reason was found to be a man's body, Duke Qi was furious, and drew a sword in the hall to kill Concubine Mei directly, the little prince ran out of the palace by luck, and then disappeared, if he is still alive, that is the only living son of Duke Qi at present, and the heir belongs to him. ”
"Eh, that's not right, since Duke Qi was ruthless enough to kill Concubine Mei, it means that this little prince has long been abandoned by Duke Qi, and since he is an abandoned son, how can he become an heir?"
"That being said, the name of that little boy is still on the genealogy of the Gong family, and it hasn't been removed! I've heard people say that when the little boy was born, he was born with a genealogy as a male daughter, and it seems to be called 'Lan Matsui'. ”
Orchid Festival......
Hearing this, Ji Liming all understood, Lan Sacrifice is the business righteousness of the Qin Palace, because Qi Jingong pursued the way of immortality and alchemy to take the blood of his own son, so he sent his sons one by one to take blood alchemy in those years, and finally led to the wife of the prince in the palace (the wives of the princes) and all the young concubines in danger, and Lan Sai's mother, Concubine Mei, had to let him dress as a woman since he was a child in order to protect him.
For a long time, Lan Sai appeared in everyone's sight as a daughter, and thus escaped the clutches of Qi Jingong, but the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, and the boy's body was finally discovered.
That year, Lan Sai was eight years old, and the servants around him suddenly exposed his male body in front of everyone at his birthday banquet, Qi Jingong was furious after hearing this, and even if he let Lan Sai be arrested, Lan Sai's mother protected him in every way, Qi Jingong simply pulled out his sword and stabbed it into Concubine Mei's chest.
Lan Sai saw his mother die in front of his eyes, and his last words were to let him flee quickly.
Lan Sai ran desperately, and finally ran out of the palace with the help of another loyal servant, and later met the king of Qin, followed him to Yanjing, and since then there has been no princess in this world
