Chapter 581: The Fairy's Proposal
They were in a hurry and found first-aid medicine to help Qin Yu take it. However, Qin Yu still closed his eyes tightly, showing no sign of waking up.
King Rong noticed that a short metal handle was exposed from Qin Yu's wound, and he didn't know what powerful secret weapon he had been hit, but what was in Qin Yu's hand caught his attention.
It was a tiny firebolt.
Such a firearm, I'm afraid it's only something in the palace, how could it end up in Qin Yu's hands?
And who instructed these bandits to harm him just now?
King Rong's mind was in a state of confusion at this time, and he didn't know what to do, when a young girl's voice suddenly came out, "Someone is injured, right?" ”
King Rong was startled, but Jinxuan was calm, she heard the sound coming from a vine, and got up to salute the vine, "We have thirteen people killed the bandits, and one of them was seriously injured by a hidden weapon and his life was in danger, and I asked the fairy to save us." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm a step too late." As he spoke, the vine slowly turned into a woman with a green body, and King Rong was speechless for a while when he saw such a vision.
It turns out that the legend is true.
The woman who turned into vines shook her soft arms, and several unknown herbs grew on it in an instant, Jinxuan picked them, chewed them herself, and let Qin Yu swallow them with water. King Rong sighed a little in his heart, this woman seemed to be more useful than himself at this time.
At this time, the woman stretched out her hand and pulled out the hidden weapon in Qin Yu's wound like lightning, and King Rong couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he saw that it was a long nail covered with black blood.
After Qin Yu woke up, he asked first, "Is King Rong okay?" ”
King Rong hurriedly shook his hand and comforted him, "Everyone is fine, everyone is fine, as long as you are okay." ”
Hearing this, Qin Yu fell into a deep sleep again.
"Thank you fairy for coming to the rescue." King Rong saw that the woman was looking at the hidden weapon vigorously, his face was solemn, he was grateful to her for saving his and Qin Yu's lives, and bowed to her.
"Your Royal Highness King Rong doesn't have to be polite, something went wrong on my side, I didn't find these killers in time, and so many people died, I'm really sorry." The woman replied, "Don't worry, I will find out who is behind the scenes, avenge the dead, and give you justice." ”
Hearing her last words, King Rong somehow felt a palpitation for some reason.
"By the way, His Royal Highness King Rong, is there a little too much land for you? Don't always think about buying land and engaging in other industries, which is more profitable than this. Think about it, see you later. The woman smiled mischievously, and in an instant turned into vines again, and then the vines around them quickly disappeared, as if nothing had happened except for the corpses on the ground.
King Rong and his entourage did not return to Lin'an immediately, but turned back to Yangzhou according to Jinxuan's proposal. The car drove all the way non-stop, and arrived in Yangzhou at noon the next day. When she arrived in Yangzhou, Jinxuan did not let King Rong go to her father, but directly pointed out the path and led the car into an alley in the corner of the city. She got out of the car by herself, knocked on a small door, and the old man who opened the door was a little surprised to see Jinxuan's appearance, but still called "Miss" and led them in. This house is ordinary, but the people inside are a little mysterious, and they don't know where they came from. King Rong was not very sure, and when Jinxuan placed Qin Yu well, he asked her where this was. Jinxuan said, "Don't worry, this is our Qian family's place." With that, he sighed, and said no more.
King Rong and his entourage stayed in this mansion, waiting for Qin Yu's injuries to improve. For Yangzhou, King Rong didn't have a good impression of him, and he didn't want to go out on weekdays, so he wandered around the house all day long, reading some books and looking at flowers and plants. Fortunately, he has been closed for many years, and he is not bored with this kind of life. Jinxuan also stayed at home, locked herself in the room, and didn't know what to do. King Rong wanted to talk to her more, but after this attack, she was silent a lot, and the two of them were not familiar with each other, so even if they met, King Rong didn't know what to say.
One afternoon four or five days later, King Rong was playing a pot of magnolia alone in the courtyard, comparing how to prune after the beginning of spring, when he suddenly noticed that there was an extra person beside him. He looked up and saw Jinxuan standing aside in green clothes. King Rong smiled slightly, motioned for her to sit down, lowered his head, and continued to pound the pot of magnolia.
Jinxuan sat down silently beside him, watching him busy with his work with great interest. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Do you still want to know why I went with you?" ”
King Rong stopped his hand, stared into Jinxuan's eyes, and said slowly, "Do you finally want to tell me?" ”
The corners of Jinxuan's mouth curved and made a smile, but there was calm but lingering sadness in her eyes.
"I am my father's second daughter, and I also have an older brother and an older sister. My brother is nine years older than me, he arrived in Lin'an City when he was twelve, and entered the forbidden army at the age of eighteen, and it has been fifteen years now. In the past 15 years, he has never returned to Yangzhou, we have not met for 15 years, and now that we meet, we should not know each other. My sister was four years older than me, and at the age of seventeen she married the sister-in-law of the king of Changle County, and she only went home once in five years. And I, who have just turned eighteen this year, are going to marry you who have never met before. Do you know what this is for? Jinxuan looked at the winding vine man on the courtyard wall, and asked faintly, but she didn't know whether she was asking King Rong or herself.
"You must be able to imagine, you are the uncle of today's official family, noble and talented. But what about our Qian family? You also saw it, our Qian family's scene is not bad. But how did this seemingly good scene come about? It's the life of our sons and daughters in exchange. ”
King Rong did not answer, for this kind of thing, he knew that it was the norm of aristocratic families, needless to say, he himself was a vivid example.
Although his two brothers, Zhao Yurui and his elder brother Zhao Yulu, are clansmen, they are already far away, and their father is just a Jiupin county lieutenant, and they don't even have an heir in their generation, living the life of ordinary people. When my brother was seven years old and his father died when he was four years old, my mother could not afford to raise my brother and had to live in my parents' home. Later, the reason why the two brothers appeared on the political stage was entirely because the elder brother was unexpectedly elected as the imperial heir. He had no way to tell Jinxuan what was going on.
Jinxuan continued, "But is it enough to sell your children? That can only change a little reputation and make friends with a few noble families. There have to be other means to maintain this family. Do you see this house? Why does our Qian family have this secret house in Yangzhou? This is where our family makes money. ”
