Chapter 3: The Shadow of the Sword and the Sword
Xiao Hai came to Naiya's room and kept begging bitterly: "Eji, please save my sister, as long as you save her, I will listen to you for everything." β
"Silly boy, he's not your own sister, why are you so worried." Naya touched his shoulder.
"Although she is not my own sister, but she treats me very well, what difference does it make if she is my sister or not?" Xiaohai.
Nai also thought about it: If she lives and the real princess dies, she will become my trump card, and it will be very useful for Xiaohai to compete for the throne at that time.
It's a good idea, Naya said, "You really want to save her?" β
"Yes." Xiao Hai nodded.
"Okay, let E-Niang go talk to her, you remember to listen to me, you know?" Naya smiled and said that he had completely deceived Xiaohai.
"Yes." Xiaohai happily agreed.
In the evening, Naya came to the outside of my cage and saw that I had opened my eyes, so she said to me, "Ashcho, don't you think it's too unfair that you have the same face as the princess, she is the princess, and you are a lowly person?" β
I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a princess or not, I just want to live well." β
"Haha...... Live well, I'm afraid you won't live for a few days. Nai also approached and said, "Why don't we make a deal, I have a way to make you a real princess and let that princess die, are you willing?" β
"It's so vicious, she's half your daughter." I said with a sneer.
"I'll never take a slut's daughter for my child, but, you can." Naya said it was very tempting, but I was unmoved.
"You sue me, aren't you afraid that I will sue them?" I scoffed.
"You little girl, who will believe your words without evidence? You don't have to rush to answer me, I'll give you time to think about it. Naya smirked and left. She knew that I had no hatred at all now, and said in her heart: I will make you hateful and ask you to beg me to save you.
During the day, although the sun is out, it is still a little cold, and I don't know what the scars on my body are, I guess they are going to bleed pus, I looked at the academic prescription that came in front of me, and I just smiled.
"Don't you hate me?" Xue Fang asked rhetorically.
I shook my head, "I know, you must think I'm going to reveal the secret between us, but I'm glad you didn't kill me." β
"Anyway, it's a big sin for you to pretend to be a princess, and I have to make a show." Xuefang said: "I will tell my father that you are innocent, but I advise you and Li Siniang to leave quickly, I don't guarantee that the next time I see you, I will not kill you." β
"Thank you, big brother." Because I am not qualified to call you Brother Wang anymore. When I saw the back of Brother Xuefang Wang leaving, I was actually quite happy in my heart: it was worth a whip in exchange for a life.
The real Xueyi waited outside the tent of the Great Khan of Mongolia and said, "Brother Wang, have you come to intercede for that person?" β
"Yes. Wang Mei ...... "When Xuefang wanted to say something, Xueyi interrupted Xuefang's words: "I understand what Brother Wang meant, we still have to let it go." β
"En" Xuefang agreed with her words and prepared to go in.
Nai also knew that the school was going to let Shu Qiao go, so he sent someone to act early and prepare to rebel against Shu Qiao tonight.
At night, while I was lying in the cage thinking, I heard the sound of fighting outside, and I turned my head to see that it was the man in black and the soldier doing it.
I pretended not to hear and slept quietly, but I was actually trembling with fear.
The man in black whispered, "The eldest prince said to take it to a distant place and dispose of it." β
What the? Brother Wang still wants to kill me? I can't believe that Brother Wang is too ruthless, but what can I do, I don't know anything now, I can only squat stupidly, preparing the driver with the cage open to escape.
I heard the lock split, and my body shuddered.
But something is wrong, it seems that there is another fight behind him.
"Girl, come out quickly." It turned out to be the fourth sister.
I was so frightened that I immediately got out, and the fourth sister hugged me and said, "Let's go first." β
"But Miss Xinyan?" I asked worriedly, she fought two assassins by herself.
"It's okay, let's go." Since the fourth sister said so, I naturally ran away with her.
There are two horses not far away, I sat on the same horse as the fourth sister, and the other one should have been left for Mo Xinyan.
I don't know how long I rode, but I know that the sound of the whistling wind is unusually clear, and it lasted for a long time, and finally, one night ran over, and the sky was bright, and the fourth sister raised a fire and let me rest next to it.
"Fourth sister, why did you save me?" I asked weakly.
"I don't know, I just know that you saved me and Xinyan, and you're definitely not a bad person." The fourth sister said with a smile.
"It seems that I am really glad I saved you in the first place, otherwise I would have died today." I joked, "To reintroduce myself, my name is Ashcho." β
"Miss Ai." The fourth sister said very politely.
"Fourth sister, don't call me girl, just call me Shu Qiao." I.
"Shu Qiao" The fourth sister called again, and then said a little tactfully: "I hope you don't hate the eldest prince, the reason why he became like this is because of the incident three years ago." β
"Three years ago?" I'm curious, what the hell is going on.
The fourth sister began to tell me what happened to them three years ago.
It is said that one day three years ago, Xuefang and the fourth sister were riding a horse when they met an old woman, who wrapped herself very tightly and slowly approached them. They thought it was strange and kept staring at her.
The old woman took off her headscarf, held Xuefang's hand, and cried, "Prince, I have finally seen you." β
"Mother-in-law? Aren't you missing? Xue Fang asked.
"Eldest Prince, actually, I was afraid that I knew that the secret of Nai Ye's killing of your mother would also be killed by her, so I secretly ran out, and I hid in Tibet for the past three years, just to see you and sue you." The mother-in-law kept crying.
Siniang watched Xuefang's face gradually become angry, so she grabbed Xuefang's hand and said, "You calm down." β
"How do you calm me down. I must tell SΓΉ Ama about this. Let's go and find Amma. Xuefang was not calm, so he pulled his mother-in-law back.
I was shocked when I heard it, and Nai was so vicious: "What about later? β
"Later, Nai also found a scapegoat to settle the matter, when the third prince was still young, and the Great Khan did not want to continue the investigation, but the eldest prince and the princess decided to punish her and avenge their mother." The fourth sister added a piece of firewood.
"No wonder Brother Wang ......" suddenly thought, no: "The eldest prince and princess are bent on entrapping the prince, just so that one day they can seize power and avenge their mother." β
"They are indeed very pitiful, the prince and princess who were originally carefree suddenly became avengers, but it is a pity that the third prince became the tragedy of this matter." The fourth sister sighed.
"Ahh The wound on my back hurt a little.
"Does it hurt?" The fourth sister asked with concern.
"I'll find the inn later, and I'll help you with medicine." The fourth sister looked at the sky: "It's dawn, Xinyan hasn't come back yet, she may have gone to the second location to make peace with us, let's also set off." β
"Yes." With the support of the fourth sister, I slowly got up.
Finally, we came to a small town, we found an inn to rest, the fourth sister also helped me finish the medicine, I slowly put on my clothes.
The fourth sister put the medicine bottle in her hand on the table, and then sat down slowly, looking preoccupied. I looked a little curious: "Fourth sister, do you have anything to say?" β
The fourth sister hesitated for a moment and said, "Shu Qiao, don't hate the eldest prince, after all, you know too many secrets about him." β
I smiled slightly, knowing that the fourth sister was worried in vain: "I understand, everyone has everyone's last resort, and the matter between me and him should be cleared up, and I will not tell anyone about his matter." I pretended to make a gesture with my hand to my mouth, signaling that my mouth would be securely sealed.
The fourth sister Xu saw that I was naughty again, and she relaxed her mind, but responded to my smile slightly: "You rest first, don't go out, I'll go see if Xinyan has arrived." β
"Yes." I nodded.
After the fourth sister left, I didn't dare to lie on the bed, so I could only lie there, but I had a small calculation in my heart: although my identity is fake, at least I don't have to be bound by these identities anymore, and I can be with the fourth master freely. However, in this situation, maybe it's better to ask the fourth master for help, otherwise, what if the killer comes again and affects the fourth sister and Xinyan.
After thinking about it for a while, I stood up, looked around and saw that there seemed to be no pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so I came downstairs and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, give me some pen, ink, paper and inkstone." β
"Okay, girl, please wait a minute." Shopkeeper.
I nodded, sat down next to an empty table, Xiao Er quickly brought what I wanted, I began to think, and then I wrote a letter. In my letter, I naturally expressed my feelings of longing, and then asked for help, in order not to worry the fourth master, I naturally didn't say it very specifically, but I just hoped that the fourth master could bring someone over.
After the letter was written, I handed it over to Xiao Er to help me send it, feeling a little tired and wanting to shrug my shoulders. "Ahh
"Boss, give us two upper rooms." A voice came from behind me, and I felt that the voice was very familiar, so I turned my head to look, and it happened to meet the sight of the ninth master.
I was surprised, and the Ninth Master's indifferent face suddenly became very comfortable, and he walked over slowly: "I'm not dead, I'm quite lucky." β
"What do you mean?" I said a little angrily, but I was also a little puzzled why the Ninth Master suddenly said this.
"Originally, I just thought you were bold, but I didn't expect that you were not afraid of death, and even the princess could pretend to be, if Huang Ama knew about it, you would be Ling Chi." The Ninth Master looked at me with a mocking expression, as if he was waiting to see my joke.
I gave me a disdainful look, turned and left.
Ying Qi stood behind the Ninth Master and said, "Master, we can go to the room." β
Jiu Ye nodded and followed Xiao Er up. Coincidentally, this room is opposite Shu Qiao, I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, and that's the result.
I was eating the food sent by Xiao Er in the room, and when I heard the sound of pushing the door, it turned out that the fourth sister was coming.
I stood up, put my arm on my shoulder, and said, "Fourth sister, I'll go and ask someone to prepare an extra pair of chopsticks." β
"You sit down, don't be busy." The fourth sister moved me back to my position with her hands, and I saw that he was holding a set of clothes in his hand, bright green, with a few lotus flowers embroidered on it, which was lifelike: "This fabric has the function of absorbing sweat, which is good for the wounds on your back." β
"Thank you, Fourth Sister." I picked up the clothes and looked at them, but I felt that something was wrong: "How does this look like men's clothing?" β
"We have to dress up as a man to avoid the eyes and ears of the killer, but this fabric is currently only this set of men's clothing, and the others need to take some time to make zuΓ², so we can only wear such bright colors." Fourth sister.
"I see, then let's eat first." I put my clothes next to me: "When I'm done eating, I'll change this outfit on." β
The fourth sister nodded: "I'll go and ask someone to get a pair of chopsticks." β
I also nodded, I was supposed to help get it, but my back injury was really a little painful, so I didn't accompany the fourth sister down.
