Chapter Seventy-Three: Tour
Jing Qiushui and Jin Jiao lived in Feng Palace and lived in the same room as Ming Xiaozhi.
Jin Jiao knew that Sha Sa's deliberate arrangement was to let Ming Xiaozhi monitor their every move.
The night is as deep as ink.
"Qiushui, don't underestimate Sha Sa," Ming Xiaozhi was not in the room at this time, and Jin Jiao said, "He wants to know about our actions through Ming Xiaozhi." ”
"Gillian, you and I have a demon possessed by the body, and the other has a body full of smoke, which immortal dares to do it?" Qiushui said with a half-self-deprecating smile.
"I don't know what his idea is," Gillian said, "but it's better to be careful." ”
"Didn't you eat poison at the dinner just now?" Qiushui said with a smile.
"Isn't that funny, if he sees that we are not pleasing to the eye, and harms us on his turf, wouldn't it be easy?"
"But it didn't happen." Qiushui comforted her.
"We're here for a long time, and it's not enough to just talk." Jin Jiao said softly.
"What do you mean?"
"Since we are here, let's have a good adventure in this Phoenix Palace, maybe there will be unexpected gains!"
"Normally I wouldn't approve of this kind of behavior, but now ......"
"How? You think that's a good idea, right? ”
Although Jing Qiushui was helpless, he nodded slowly.
"Don't worry, we'll just take a look and not him off."
"It was better to do so."
The two of them came outside the room.
Inside the main hall, the lights are bright.
There were several young maids standing around, dressed in the same clothes, and it was clear at a glance that they were the palace maids of the Feng Palace.
"Miss Jing, Miss Jin, it's dark at night, please go back to your room." When Jing Qiushui and Jin Jiao approached the gate, one of the palace maids guarding the gate said this.
"We're just going out to get some air." Jin Jiao said.
"The master has orders, in case something goes wrong, the slave and maid dare not be it." Another palace maid said.
"There's nothing going to be wrong." Jin Jiao said, and she was about to walk out the door as soon as she started.
Unexpectedly, the two palace maids blocked the door with their bodies, blocking Jin Jiao's way out.
"...... you?" Jin Jiao couldn't help frowning.
"Let's get over!" Jin Jiao was a little annoyed.
The two palace maids were stubbornly guarding the door, bowing their heads, not daring to move an inch.
"Let them pass." At this time, a familiar female voice sounded behind the two palace maids.
"Miss Ming." The two palace maids turned around and saw that it was Ming Xiaozhi coming, so they bowed, and then returned to their original positions.
Ming Xiaozhi stood outside the door and said, "Miss Jin, if you want to visit the Feng Palace, please come with me." ”
Jin Jiao and Jing Qiushui walked out of the door and followed Ming Xiaozhi.
"Miss Ming, have you lived here for many years?" Jing Qiushui asked.
"I'm from Qinglan Island." Ming Xiaozhi said.
"Qinglan Island?" Jing Qiushui seemed to have heard of it for the first time.
"It's an island in the south of Yunni Country," Jin Jiao told her, and then looked at Ming Xiaozhi, "It's said that there are beautiful corals on the bottom of the sea, right?" ”
"That's right, it's a paradise." Ming Xiaozhi said.
"Then why did you choose to stay in the Phoenix Palace?" Jin Jiao asked.
"It's not appropriate to say 'choice'," Ming Xiaozhi smiled bitterly as if remembering something, "It's a long story, back then, my people's sea ship and I had to anchor in a city in the south of Yunni Country because of a storm at sea, and we were just in time for Sha Sa's southern tour, so we met.
"He was a kid then, much more headstrong than he is now, but he had a lot of power and martial arts...... When he saw me for the first time, he asked me to go back to Fenggong with him, but of course I didn't follow ......
"But he ordered the people of the Feng Palace to seize our ships, and in order for the clan to return to Qinglan Island safely, I must make a sacrifice - that is, to stay in the Yunni Kingdom, to be exact, to follow him and stay in the Feng Palace."
"How could it be...... Such? Jin Jiao listened, but she didn't expect Ming Xiaozhi to come to Feng Palace like this.
"I was also dissatisfied at first, thinking that Sha Sa was too much," Ming Xiaozhi said, "but later, as I got to know him better, I realized that he was not a nasty child, but rather quite talented......
Jin Jiao and Jing Qiu looked at each other.
"Whether it's martial arts or the city government, don't you think he's a very promising kid? He is strong and will only get stronger in the future. Ming Xiaozhi said.
"Indeed, he is a strong man." Jing Qiushui said.
"Moreover, all the unaccustomed things I had when I came to Yunni Country were all carefully arranged by him to take care of my safety. For the sake of homesickness, he even decorated the garden where I lived in the style of Qinglan Island. ”
"That's sweet." Jin Jiao said.
"No, I'm glad I know Sha Sa, he won't do this for anyone else in the world." Ming Xiaozhi said with a smile.
"It seems that you are completely accustomed to life in the Feng Palace." Jin Jiao said.
"Sha Sa can let me leave the Feng Palace to move freely and go to other parts of the Yunni Kingdom to breathe, and I am very content with this."
"Yes, the Yunni Kingdom is so big, you will find its charm." Jin Jiao said, "There are a lot of fun places. ”
"Every year, I can only return to my hometown on the day of the biggest festival on Qinglan Island, and it will only be three days at most," Ming Xiaozhi looked into the distance, "Even if it is my birthday, it is also spent in Fenggong, and Sha Sa will always invite a few people from Qinglan Island to see that I am safe and sound."
"Gradually, the people of the island accepted this fact and saw me as a diplomatic tool in the Yunni Kingdom Phoenix Palace." Ming Xiaozhi said, "However, I naturally don't have any interest in this. ”
"Aren't you lonely when you're alone in this huge Phoenix Palace?" Jin Jiao asked.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you think that as a woman who is very close to Sha Sa, I will be rejected by many other women," Ming Xiaozhi said, "I was worried at first, but I have already seen it." Although there were some conflicts at first, now, I am in the Phoenix Palace......"
"Your position is unshakable." Jing Qiushui finished speaking for her.
"The closer you are to power, the more lonely you become." Jin Jiao said.
"Right? I'm very close to Shasa, and indeed I have very few friends. ”
"Miss Ming is such a good person, there will definitely be many people who appreciate you." Jin Jiao said, "Zhu'er treats you as a friend, and so do I." ”
"Hehe, it's kind of nice to hear you say that." Ming Xiaozhi said.
"But in my opinion, Miss Ming is the kind of independent woman who doesn't even take certain people seriously." Jing Qiushui said.
"Qiushui, what do you mean by that?" Jin Jiao asked.
"Hehe, are you saying I'm a little pretentious?" Ming Xiaozhi said.
"I just think that if you accept Sha Sa from the bottom of your heart, you will naturally hate the forces that are his enemies." Jing Qiushui said tentatively.
"Perhaps." Ming Xiaozhi said mysteriously.
Does that mean...... Wu Yue and Gong Yushan: Them? Jin Jiao looked at Ming Xiaozhi vigilantly.
Ming Xiaozhi said: "I don't hate them, I don't hate anyone. When I first came here, I hated Shasa, but now, I want to be his pillar. ”
As they walked along, Ming Xiaozhi held a lamp in one hand and introduced them to each place they passed.
"Qiushui, how can you bring up that kind of topic?" Jin Jiao, who was walking behind, whispered to Qiushui beside her.
"I'm just saying in general terms, it's you who mentioned their names."
"Where is it called a generalization, you are so obvious......"
"I've got to find something to talk about."
"That's a terrible topic, isn't it?"
"The point is, do you believe her words?"
When Jin Jiao heard this, she nodded.
"Isn't that it," Jing Qiushui said, "Since Ming Xiaozhi is a bright woman who makes people warm, she won't focus too much on dark places, right?" ”
"But you just asked too blatantly."
"Isn't she worried about Shasa? Could she really ignore Wu Yue and Gong Yushan? Jing Qiushui asked rhetorically.
“…… You said that she is an independent person, doesn't that look like you? Jin Jiao said, "If it were Wu Tianxiao and you, how far would you do it for him?" ”
Jing Qiushui was slightly stunned, and then said, "We are talking about Sha Sa and Ming Xiaozhi, not Tianxiao and me." ”
“…… You didn't answer my question. ”
"It's not a problem." Jing Qiushui said.
"Hey, how long are you two going to be whispering behind my back?" Ming Xiaozhi walked in front and said without looking back.
"Ah, that's rude." Jin Jiao's face was slightly red and she stuck out her tongue.
"What, is there any other way to test me?" Ming Xiaozhi said with a smile.
"No, no." Jing Qiushui said.
"Now that we've come to the main hall of the Feng Palace," Ming Xiaozhi raised the lamp, "Sha Sa's bedroom is in it. ”
"Sha Sa also sleeps at night like us?" Jin Jiao asked, "I mean, is it the same as our bedtime?" ”
"Hehe, this is a secret." Ming Xiaozhi said, "If you want to know so much, why don't you go to his bedroom and ask?" ”
Jin Jiao's face was so red that she couldn't say anything.
"Are you alright, Jin Jiao?" Jing Qiushui also smiled.
"Ah, don't laugh at me." Jin Jiao said with a blushing face.
Ming Xiaozhi walked west, followed by Jing Qiushui and Jin Jiao.
When leaving the main hall, Jin Jiao felt that there was indeed a depressing atmosphere here.
"When tomorrow dawns, you can take a good look at this round again," Ming Xiaozhi said, "especially where we live, some of the buildings there are modeled after Qinglan Island, if you are interested, you can learn about it." ”
"Will you tell us?" Jing Qiushui asked.
"Of course, as long as you ask me. If you want to know, I'd be happy to tell you something about Qinglan Island," Ming Xiaozhi said, "Of course, there's also about Fenggong. ”
"What about Shasa? What about Wu Yue and Gong Yushan? Jin Jiao asked.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to provide information about the guest officer." Ming Xiaozhi eventually walked back to the room where their room was.
"Gillian, do you believe her?"
"Zhu'er's savior," Jin Jiao said, "I believe in her." ”
