Chapter 180: Déjà vu
After several female dependents in the cottage helped the rescued slave girl out, they first comforted her alive, and then bathed and changed her clothes, healed her injuries and fed her. During this period, the slave girl curled up in a ball without saying a word, looking at the strange Qiē around her in horror, her eyes like a fledgling that had just been caught from a bird's nest.
"Although this girl is a Jurchen, she is really pitiful." One of the women said, "Although she is down, it can be seen that she was from an extraordinary background before, and now she has fallen into such a state, it is really worse than death." ”
"Look, after some makeup, I'm also beautiful, it's a beautiful embryo! Hey, it looks a little familiar? …… I said, "How are we going to settle her?" Another asked.
The ladies were stunned for a moment, and then whispered to each other to discuss.
Although the freshened slave girl had changed her appearance, she was still curled up in the corner of the wall as before, either burying her head or timidly opening a pair of frightened eyes, looking at everyone in confusion and panic, but she kept tightly dragging the coat that Chu Tianya threw to her to cover her body before, protecting it in front of her like a shield, hiding behind her clothes and not daring to show her head.
The ladies tried to feed her or persuade her to sleep, but they could no longer pull it. Seeing her like this, the female dependents immediately decided to hand over this special Jurchen aristocratic girl to the lord directly!
So they sent one of them to the Seven Stars Hall to see Chu Tianya.
At this time, the night was getting deeper, and after Chu Tianya and Bai Xu chatted about some military affairs in the hall, they were also preparing to rest. After hearing the news of the female dependent's report, Chu Tianya and Bai Xu looked at each other with a smile in their hearts, and asked the female slave to be brought to the Seven Star Hall.
"Jingqian, do you think this will be a bitter ploy?" Chu Tianya asked with a smile.
"The origin of these three people is very strange, no matter what, the lord must be more careful." Bai Xu said.
Chu Tianya smiled and nodded, "With the old man, Tang An, and Anu here, you don't have to worry about assassins." Now it's me who is curious. No matter where these three people come from, I want to really get to know them for what they really are. ”
Bai Xu nodded lightly meaningfully, "Then the subordinate will leave first." ”
Chu Tianya caught a glimpse of the subtle change in expression on his face, and suddenly said, "Jingqian, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Bai Xu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Back to the lord, no." ”
Chu Tianya smiled, "Do you want to say that if Lord Xiao is here, it will be fine?" ”
Bai Xu couldn't help but be stunned, and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the lord." That's right, Xiao Sheng is thinking now that with the intelligence and wit of Lord Xiao, coupled with her understanding of the various ethnic groups in the north, she will be able to easily see through the true origin of these people. Also, if she is with her lord day and night, there is no need to worry......"
"Don't worry about someone taking advantage of me or stabbing me in my dreams, can you?" Chu Tianya said with a smile.
Bai Xu nodded with a chuckle.
Chu Tianya stood up and walked over to him and patted his arm, "Then why don't you quickly bring her back to me?" ”
Bai Xu's body shook slightly involuntarily. Because Chu Tianya said "please", not "find".
He immediately hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The lord is wise! The subordinates really don't know where the Lord Xiao is, so they don't dare to bully the master! ”
Chu Tianya helped him up with a straight smile, "I said casually, you don't have to be so nervous, right?" - No matter where she is, we'll do our best to 'invite' her back, won't we? ”
"Yes...... Be...... If the lord had no other instructions, the subordinates took their leave. Bai Xu smiled bitterly and left, as if he was running away.
Chu Tianya looked at Bai Xu's back, smiled and shook his head. Half of the smile was bitter.
After a short time, the two female dependents sent the female slave to the main hall of Chu Tianya's residence next to the Seven Star Hall.
"Look up and look at me." Chu Tianya sat on the right seat and said tepidly.
The slave girl was shaking like chaff, but she was tightly tugging on Chu Tianya's clothes in her hands. Under the persuasion of the two female relatives on the left and right, he mustered up the courage to raise his head and glanced at Chu Tianya in panic.
It was this glimpse that Chu Tianya couldn't help but lose his mind slightly!
Why does this face seem familiar?!
"Pull her hair away and raise her head so I can see clearly." Chu Tianya said.
Both women were a little surprised and hurriedly complied.
Chu Tianya's eyes widened and he could see clearly, but the expression on his face instantly froze - that's right, like her!
It's so similar!
actually looks like Xiao Linglong!
"How so?!" Chu Tianya couldn't help but stand up and walk forward.
The slave girl screamed in fright and was about to run. Two women hurriedly grabbed her.
Chu Tianya took a deep breath to calm the restless feelings in his heart, and then said: "Settle her in the room next to me for a while, and you two will take turns to watch over her day and night, and you must not be negligent." ”
"Yes, my lord." The second daughter agreed to the promise, and helped the female slave into the room next to Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya's heart lake, which was not calm, was already in turmoil at the moment.
Is this a coincidence, or is it deliberately artificial? ……
"Ahem-ahem!" Outside the door, there was a pretended coughing sound from Uncle Ho.
"Old man, please come in."
Uncle He pushed the door and entered, and said with a smile, "Young Master, can you see her face clearly?" ”
"Yes. You've noticed it a long time ago, old man, haven't you? Chu Tianya said, "You led the three of them into the village." ”
"That's right. At that time, the old man was also taken aback. He Bo stepped forward and said softly, "I have carefully identified it, that girl is really born to look six or seven points similar to Lord Xiao, without any disguise or disguise. It's amazing! ”
"Yi Rong ......" Chu Tianya chewed these two words carefully, and said in his heart that he had only heard of this kind of thing in martial arts performances or novels in the past, could it be that it really existed in reality? But Uncle He's words shouldn't be fake, this slave girl really looks like Xiao Linglong!
"It's just a little similar, young master, don't think too much." He Bo seemed to see through Chu Tianya's thoughts, and said, "If they came in the wrong way, it shows that the other party has sinister intentions and deliberately uses a face that looks like Lord Xiao to confuse the young master." ”
"I know......" Chu Tianya took a deep breath and nodded.
"The young master settled her in the next room, what is he going to do with her?" He Bo asked.
Chu Tianya frowned slightly, "Let's observe for two days first." ”
"Then from today onwards, the old man will roll up the bed and sleep next to the young master, hehe!" He Bo laughed strangely and lewdly.
Chu Tianya suddenly laughed, "Okay, I miss the old man's earth-shattering snoring a little!" ”
The night was uneventful until dawn.
After Chu Tianya got up, he habitually went to the study first, drank a glass of warm water to clear his stomach, and then reviewed the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" left to him by Wang Yu. At this time, no one would come to disturb him, including guards like He Bo and Tang An, and it was not until the big drum on the Seven Star Hall beat that it was time for breakfast and morning discussion.
But today, there was a knock on the door of the study.
"Who?" Chu Tianya asked casually, feeling a little surprised.
The strange thing is that no one answered, and after a while, the other party knocked lightly on the door, obviously a little timid and scared.
Chu Tianya put down the book, "Come in!" ”
The door was pushed open, and a woman stood quietly in the doorway carrying a tea tray.
Chu Tianya instantly stood up and blurted out, "Flying fox?!" ”
The woman was so frightened that the tea tray in her hand fell to the ground, and a bowl of hot porridge was spilled on the ground.
"The Lord forgives sins!" A female relative flashed out next to her and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "She, she's not Lord Xiao!" ”
"Bold! Who let you take matters into your own hands and pretend to be Lord Xiao? Chu Tianya was really a little angry.
"The Lord is angry...... When her subordinates were looking for a change of clothes for her, she saw that the few civilian clothes that Lord Xiao had left in the pulp pool had been idle, and her subordinates tried them on for her for a while, but they just fitted, so ......" The female dependent hurriedly replied.
The slave girl was completely frightened, stunned, and her face was pale and her eyes were straight.
Chu Tianya listened to this defense, and the nameless fire in his heart could be regarded as having disappeared. Recently, there have been a lot of additions in the cottage, and various resources are relatively scarce, especially the need to buy a large number of autumn and winter winter clothes. Therefore, the cottage is strictly frugal from top to bottom, and it is common for each other to change clothes. The set of clothes left by Xiao Linglong is just a very ordinary set of women's clothes, which can be seen everywhere on the street. In other words, if someone else wore it, Chu Tianya might not be able to see it, but they happened to be worn on the body of the slave girl, which made Chu Tianya feel special.
"That's it, I don't blame you, get up." Chu Tianya froze, "What are you doing here?" ”
"This girl made a breakfast for the lord with her own hands, so she sent ......"
Chu Tianya looked at the broken bowls and porridge scattered on the ground, and nodded, "I have a good intention, I will go to the Seven Star Hall to eat with the military advisors and them later." Stand down! ”
"Yes......" The female dependent was about to retreat after answering the promise, but the female slave stood there fixedly, and even though the female dependent pulled a few times, she still did not move, her eyes were wide open, and she looked straight at Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya looked at her expression, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”
The slave girl nodded in horror.
"Say it!"
"Back to the lord, she doesn't seem to be able to speak. At most, it's just scared and makes a weird scream. The woman replied.
"Oh?" Chu Tianya looked her up and down in surprise, "Then you can write?" Chinese character? ”
The slave girl nodded.
"Then come here and write to me." Chu Tianya took out the pen and ink and put it on the desk.
The slave girl hesitated for a moment, plucked up her courage and slowly stepped forward and held the brush, but her expression slowly became excited, biting her lip tightly, and her eyes were full of tears.
Chu Tianya looked at her quietly, watching the changes. It is not surprising that the Jurchens, especially those of the royal family with the surname Wanyan, can write Chinese characters. In the more than ten years since the Jurchen army was founded, Sinology has always been admired and introduced as an aristocratic fashion.
The slave girl put pen to paper, and first wrote four words - "Wanyan Daike".
"Your Han name?" Chu Tianya asked.
The slave girl nodded, and the pen in her hand hurriedly wrote two more words - "Be careful"!
Chu Tianya couldn't help but move his eyebrows, motioned for the female dependent to go out and close the door, and then said, "You mean to say that someone wants to harm me?" ”
The slave girl nodded repeatedly, pointing to her throat and then to the outside, looking extremely nervous and frightened.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "You mean to say that the people who want to harm me are the two people who kidnapped you along the way?" They made you dumb, right? ”
The slave girl's eyes widened and she nodded in horror.
Chu Tianya still just smiled and nodded, "Then who are they, do you know?" ”
The slave girl (Wanyan Daike) shook her head in confusion, immediately nodded eagerly, and wrote: "Xi people, enemies." ”
"Is it your enemy, or mine?"
The slave girl pointed at Chu Tianya first, and then at herself, obviously, it meant that both sides were enemies.
"That's strange, when did I have an enemy in the northern alien race?" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Unless it's someone from your Wanyan family who sent them." Most likely, Wanyan Zonghan. ”
Wanyan Daike looked surprised, blinked a few times as if in thought, and then reached out to her mouth and pointed to the canine teeth.
"You mean that it is possible that those two Xi people defected to Wanyan Zonghan and joined the Wolf Tooth Guard under his command?" Chu Tianya said.
Wanyan Daike nodded hurriedly, and there was a look of surprise in her expression, obviously, she was a little surprised that Chu Tianya knew about the "wolf teeth".
Chu Tianya smiled: "It seems that you know a lot. But I'm very strange, since the two of them are Wanyan Zonghan's wolf tooth subordinates, you are a Jurchen nobleman, it stands to reason that you are the lord and they are the minister. Where did they come from, and how dare they attack you? I even heard that the barbaric Hu girl of the Xi tribe killed you all over the house in order to avenge her blood hatred. ”
Wanyan Daike suddenly burst into tears with tears in her eyes, and wrote down a line of words - "Although the surname is Wanyan, it is a side branch." Struggle for power and resentment against Zong Han. ”
"Oh, it turns out that the power struggle within the Jurchen royal family is the same. In this way, your family was actually destroyed by Wanyan Zonghan? Chu Tianya said indifferently, "But I'm very strange, since you know so much, how could Wanyan Zonghan still let you appear in front of me and leak secrets to me?" Isn't he afraid that I will see through the identities of those two spies and let them beat them? ”
Wanyan Daike was stunned, looked at Chu Tianya in horror, and hurriedly wrote a few words, "I don't know, but please believe me!" ”
Chu Tianya smiled slightly and took the pen in her hand, "Okay, let's talk about it first!" As for whether you are worth believing or not, we will see later. ”
