The Jin State was adjacent to the Qin State and was one of the most powerful states of the present day. After the Battle of Yan (1), for two hundred years, the Qin and Jin dynasties were in constant dispute. When Yao Nu said that she was a kabuki given to Gongzi Li by the Jin Guo Zhi clan, I was a little surprised. Today, when I saw her meeting with Jin Ren, I felt that this woman was not simple.

"But someone is following you?" In the darkness, the man deliberately lowered his voice.

"No, I've been extra careful along the way." Yao Nu replied.

"What you're going to do this time is dangerous, and you can't afford to lose it. If you repent now, it's too late. ”

"Yao Nu has been waiting for many years, just hoping to relieve her worries for her master, and the word 'regret' has never been in her heart." Yao Nu's voice trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but snuggle into the man's arms. The man grabbed her arms and whispered, "Lan Ji has already arranged everything for her, you only need to hide the dagger when you dance, and see if the time is right to approach Prince Qin." When it is done, I will send someone to rescue you. ”

The man's words exploded in my heart like a thunderbolt, could it be that Yao Nu is an assassin of the Jin Kingdom? The Jin people want to kill the crown prince!

"My life belongs to the master, even if you don't come to save me, I will never blame you." Yao Nu leaned against the man's chest and said faintly, the moonlight shining on her face, making her smile more and more blurred.

"Don't worry, someone will come to your rescue when the time comes. In order to avoid suspicion from the Qin people, you better go back quickly! The man gently let go of Yao Nu, stroked her sideburns with his hand, and said extremely gently, "I'm waiting for you to come back in the Jin Kingdom!" ”

"No!" The Yao girl reluctantly left, but the man was still standing in the dark shadow in the corner with his back to me. The moon is about to rise in the middle of the sky, and in a few moments my hiding place will be exposed. At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps behind me. I thought silently in my heart, but don't be Gongzili, don't.

The person who came was still a woman, and a vermilion orchid on her forehead seemed to be Zheng Nu Lanji.

The man turned, and a bronze beast-headed mask covered his face.

Lan Ji walked up to the man without saluting, and directly snuggled into his arms: "Can you talk to her?" Her voice was unusually sweet.

"Don't worry, you just have to take her in. If something goes wrong with her, you will never be implicated. The man put his arm around Lan Ji and said softly.

"Hey, what a stupid woman." In the moonlight, Lan Ji looked up at the man, and the smile on her face was extremely delicate.

Enchanting beauty, hideous beast face, everything in front of me is too weird, I saw a tingle in my back spine, I unconsciously moved a step back, but unexpectedly stepped on a pile of dead leaves.

In the blink of an eye, the beast-faced man flew towards the tree where I was hiding.

The moonlight flickered, and I quickly closed my eyes. The next moment, the man had been dragged out and pressed to the ground. The man's left hand grabbed my neck, and his right hand pressed a sharp object against my bare waist.

"Open your eyes!" He said.

I was afraid that my identity would be exposed, so I closed my eyes and begged bitterly in the Chu dialect: "Don't kill me......"

"Chu Nu? What are you doing hiding behind a tree? "There was a tingling pain in my stomach, and the sharp object in his hand had pierced my skin.

"I ...... I'm a Maiko, and I came out to relieve myself and got lost......"

"Lan Ji, come and see your people?" The man's Chu language and Jin language can be converted freely.

"The clothes look like they're all new, but these Chu girls are all newly recruited in Yingdu this time, and I don't recognize them all."

"Spare me, spare my life!" I pleaded and tried to escape. The man let go of the hand around my neck and stood up, silent, as if considering whether to kill me.

"They won't be needed for the banquet in the future, so the host will kill them if he doesn't worry." Lan Ji said lightly.

This man still hesitated, he didn't expect this Lan Ji to be so vicious! I groped my feet with my eyes closed and took two steps back.

"Hahaha, that's funny. You little girl is so scared that you don't even dare to look at it, and you still want to run away from your master's sword. Before Lan Ji finished speaking, I had already turned and ran towards the entrance of the alley, and I was about to run to the entrance of the alley, but suddenly a stone flew behind me, and hit my calf hard, I couldn't hold on, and I stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Lan Ji, you don't seem to be as fast as you used to!" A man's joking voice could be heard in the distance.

"Little slut, look how I clean you up!" Lan Ji, who had caught up, had been thoroughly enraged by me.

My left leg was numb and I couldn't stand up. In order to escape for his life, he could only drag his body out desperately.

Lan Ji walked up behind me and sneered, "Hmph, now I'll see where you are fleeing!" ”

Lan Ji's hand touched my shoulder, but the whole person was suddenly thrown out by a powerful force. Immediately afterwards, a terrible wolf howl sounded, and the black shadow picked me up, and after a few ups and downs, he ran out of the alley and disappeared into the night.

After the incident at Sle Place, Gongzi Li came to me several times, but I politely rejected them on the grounds that I was unwell. I know someone is going to assassinate the prince, but I can't tell Gongzili. Because, he is likely to be the mastermind behind this matter, after all, he is the biggest beneficiary of killing the crown prince.

Yao Nu also came to me, and she was still as gentle as water, and she couldn't see a flaw. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes that night, I could hardly believe that a weak woman like her would have the courage to assassinate the prince at a night banquet in the prince's mansion.

I avoided everyone, and only arranged the innocence that saved me in my own yard, and taught him to speak and read while planning what he was going to do.

Soon, half a month passed.

On this day, before I had breakfast, I asked someone to send a letter to Gongzili, and he appeared at the General's Mansion before noon.

"Are you getting better? I was dragged by the prince that night and drank a lot of wine, and by the time I came out, you were gone. ”

"I expected the prince to entangle you, so I went back to the house first. It's just that I didn't expect Lu Zhong to suffer a little cold at night, and the past two days have been all right, so don't blame yourself. ”

"That's good, you avoided me the other day, and I thought you were annoying me. I was relieved to receive your letter today. ”

"Ah Shi has something to ask for, and I hope that the son will agree." I bowed.

"Say it, I'll promise you." Childe gently helped me up with both hands.

"Ah Shi heard that three days later, the prince also invited Zheng Nu Lanji to perform at the birthday banquet, but is it true?"

"Exactly."

"I want to go and see, but the head of the family is not here, so I can only ask my son to take me."

"You avoided him in every possible way before, why do you want to go again this time?" Childe Li was puzzled.

"After the school competition that day, the prince asked the general to take me to the banquet before leaving. Now that the general is not here, if I don't go either, I'm afraid he will find another opportunity to blame. I made an excuse for myself, and seeing that Gongzili was still a little hesitant, I said, "Besides, with you, he can't hurt me, right?" ”

Gongzili immediately nodded and agreed: "That's natural, I'll pick you up in three days." ”

"Thank you, Childe!"
