"Bamboo girl," Jing Qiushui faced the sea, and the sea breeze ruffled her long hair, "Do you have any news for me?" ”

A girl with a hat stood behind her.

"Yes." One simple word.

She looked at Jing Qiushui in the sea breeze, and intuitively felt her noble atmosphere.

"Tell me, how?" Jing Qiushui's purple eyes looked at the sunset over the sea, "Bamboo lotus? ”

The woman known as "Bamboo Lotus" spoke in a low and indifferent voice: "Tell you, what about the reward?" ”

"Hehe, I don't have much money, but you can take this little meaning."

Jing Qiushui threw a bag of silver taels behind him, and Zhulian reached out to take it.

"I learned what was on your mind." When Jing Qiushui heard this, his eyes widened slightly.

"You're because ...... The person you like seems to have something urgent to solve and won't take you with him - right? ”

"How do you know?" Jing Qiushui's eyes flashed sharply, and he immediately turned around, revealing anger, "You dare to follow me!?" ”

"Nope." Zhulian said, "I'm just looking for someone from Xiao Han Country. ”

Jing Qiushui calmed down a little and said, "...... I know the people of the Frosty Country. You even know that? ”

"If you can let me meet the people of Xiaohan Country and send a secret letter to the royal family of Xiaohan Country, I will be grateful."

Jing Qiushui stared at the bamboo lotus suspiciously, and only after a long time did he sigh and said, "...... That's fine. Who told you to gather intelligence? Sooner or later, you'll know. ”

"Do you think I don't know anything?"

"Nope. I think you know a lot. ”

"And what are you still holding back?" There was a smile in Zhulian's voice.

"What do you mean?" Jing Qiushui once again turned his back to the bamboo lotus, facing the sea.

"Don't you know anything about me?"

"Do I need to know?"

"Whatever you want." Zhulian said, "...... People from the Xiaohan Country, can you really find it? ”

"I said I would find it." Jing Qiushui said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I just want him to bring a letter to the royal family of Xiaohan Country."

"What's the content?"

"Well, of course, it's a secret." Zhulian said, "Don't talk about you, even the messenger can't look at it." ”

“…… You can rest assured that there is no problem with his character. ”

"I'm not worried about his character, but whether he can return to the Xiaohan Kingdom alive."

"What do you mean?" Jing Qiushui asked.

"Don't you know? The current royal family of Xiaohan Country is unpredictable, and it is really not a place to stay for a long time. ”

"You...... How can you be sure? ”

"I just know," Zhulian said, "The current royal family of the Xiao Han Kingdom is really chaotic, and it shouldn't be there for a person...... But it is important that the letters they must receive. ”

"You...... Could it be that the people from the Yunni Kingdom Palace asked you to do it? ”

“

No. But I did meet someone sent by the palace. I think they've already done something. ”

"Is there a countermeasure? But haven't acted yet? ”

"I don't think so. However, I can't be sure either. You'd better go straight to the palace informant. ”

"Hehe," Jing Qiushui suddenly sneered, "The palace of Yunni Kingdom, isn't it also very chaotic?" ”

"It always has been. But we're in Cloud Leaf City, we're all used to it, right? ”

"Yes."

"Besides, we are not in the palace, there are so many unpredictable dangers in this rivers and lakes, maybe we will die tomorrow, how can we be so comfortable in the palace?"

"You're right: the rivers and lakes are indeed dangerous; But don't curse us for dying...... As for the Imperial Palace, I have lived in that golden cage for a long time, but there are also uncomfortable places. ”

"How?" Zhulian smiled, "It sounds like you've really lived in the palace." ”

"Hehe," Jing Qiushui smiled, "never." ”

"So," Zhulian said, opening the purse, "well, I'll take a look...... With such a little silver, you want to eat? ”

"You didn't provide any special information."

“…… Well, I also know that I shouldn't be greedy," Zhulian smiled bitterly, "You're really not good at taking advantage." ”

"That's what you think of me."

"Haha...... However, there is a crisis in the royal family of Xiaohan Country, you say, when can you find that person at the earliest? ”

"Crisis...... Is it? Jing Qiushui said lightly, "Tomorrow morning." Yes, there is. ”

"Excellent." Zhulian said, "Every second counts now." ”

"When did you have a relationship with the royal family of Xiao Han Country?"

"You don't need to know that."

Jing Qiushui did not speak.

"Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry."

"I can't say everything."

"I understand."

"Even if it's something about you, you should know, I won't say."

"Because you don't have enough money?"

"Don't look down on me......" There was a hint of annoyance and a hint of threat in Zhulian's tone.

"Don't deal with me casually."

"You ......," Zhulian replied somehow.

"You still have a lot to learn, otherwise it will always come across as indiscreet."

"You mean, I'm still a little hairy kid, right?"

"Isn't it?"

"How many times am I going to prove it to you?"

"No too many times."

“…… You're just lucky. ”

"yes, you're just out of luck."

"You!" Zhulian gripped the weapon.

"Huh? Do you want to fight? Right now? Over here? ”

“…… You bad temper

Angry guy. ”

"The grumpy person is obviously you." Jing Qiushui didn't turn around, "Anyway, no matter how many times you fight, the ending is the same." ”

"Why? Why do you always win me? ”

"I don't know," Jing Qiushui said, "I have a secret that I shouldn't tell, don't I?" ”

"You're provoking!"

"Silly boy."

"I'm not a child!"

"You're very childish like that."

"You're not much older than me."

"Yes, but you're so childish."

"I ......"

"I don't have time to talk to you," Jing Qiushui turned to face her, "You can go back." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll be back tomorrow morning."

"You ......" Zhulian paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, okay." I know. ”

Jing Qiushui looked at her distant back.

"What an immature guy."

Zhulian left the port and came to the market.

At this time, the people on the street have obviously dispersed a lot.

"Urgent secret letters, no one can look at them, they can only be shown to the royal family of Xiao Han Country...... Zhu Lian whispered to herself, "Fortunately, that guy just now knows someone from Xiao Han Country." ”

Bamboo Lotus hides a letter that has already been written in her arms.

She walked over to a shop selling steamed buns.

"Boss, let's have two or two buns."

"This lord, are you rich?"

I'm obviously a woman. Zhulian thought to herself. Forget it, whatever.

Zhulian took out the money bag that Jing Qiushui gave her just now and took out the silver taels from it.

The boss had already gone to get the buns.

"Until tomorrow morning...... What should I do during this time? "Zhulian is strolling down the street with a hot bun in her hand.

"I feel like I'm too conspicuous to walk down the street with such a swagger." Zhulian muttered to herself, "Let's take advantage of the night and run to the roof quickly...... Just spend the night on the roof and keep an eye on the harbor. ”

At this time, Jing Qiushui also left the port.

When she walked a few streets and came to a fruit stand, she saw Wu Tianxiao sitting.

"Autumn water?" Wu Tianxiao was holding a piece of melon, "You taste this, it's very sweet!" This is not common in our country. ”

"You actually ......" Jing Qiushui looked at him blankly. It's funny that the prince is eating melons on the street.

"What's wrong? Don't you eat it? ”

"What about Jun and Gillian?"

"Ah Jun accompanied Gillian to see the sellers."

"Street vendors? What's there to see? ”

"Gillian thinks it's fresh, it's just some jewelry or something, of course it's not very valuable."

"Hehe, girls still love beauty, so it's cute."

Jing Qiushui sat down beside Wu Tianxiao, "Do you have any opinions on a girl like me who doesn't apply grease and powder and doesn't like to dress up?" ”

"Ahem......" Wu Tianxiao seemed to almost choke, "How dare you have an opinion......

"I still like to live freely." Jing Qiushui looked into the distance.

"Haven't you always been? When he lived with Liu Quanyi, didn't he follow his style? That kind of chic literati? ”

"Pretty much." Jing Qiushui looked at Wu Tianxiao, "What about you?" You act like this, avoiding everyone's eyes, which do you prefer more than the treatment of the prince? ”

"Of course it's free."

"In my opinion, you are not suitable to be a prince, but more suitable to be a 'scholar'."

"I don't really have any desire to rule the world."

"Self-cultivation scholars are more suitable for you."

"Perhaps," Wu Tianxiao patted the sword on his waist, "but this sword has been following me for many years, and I am a swordsman." ”

"Hehe, a dignified son has to be a swordsman."

"Aren't you too? The apprentice of the Qin Saint is a girl, she doesn't learn the piano well, but she wants to play with swords? ”

"What's wrong with the girl?" Jing Qiushui said, "Besides, I never thought of learning the piano. ”

"In other words, you're more interested in swords than koto, aren't you?"

Jing Qiushui smiled: "Isn't this obvious? ”

Wu Tianxiao continued to eat.

Jing Qiushui looked at Wu Tianxiao, who continued to eat melons: "Listeners who eat melons, do you look like a prince?" ”

"I'm not a prince now, am I?"

"It's not bad to be a little girl like Gillian...... It's good to have a man like Ah Jun to pamper. ”

"Hey, don't say that in front of me." Wu Tianxiao put down the melon and said to Qiushui, "What's wrong?" What am I not good enough about? ”

"You?" Jing Qiushui looked at him, "Who said you were bad?" ”

"You and Miss Jin are not the same type of girl."

"So what? What do you want from me? ”

"It's not that I want you to be what I want," Wu Tianxiao said, "but to be yourself." ”

"Myself?" Jing Qiushui looked directly at him.

Wu Tianxiao stood up and gently stroked her head with her right hand: "Just be yourself, it's beautiful...... Really, it's beautiful. ”

Jing Qiushui took a step back: "I'...... Someone wants to see you. ”

"See me? Who? ”

"Tomorrow morning, you go to the docks, and you'll know."
