Chapter 18: Now, Are We Ally?
Jin Bei closed the door before coming.
He approached, looked at the bronze mirror, and saw the doorway at once. This mirror is four or five inches square, full moon shaped, and the back decoration looks like "Jiaolong enters the sea". Jin Bei took Lianyi's hand, took the bronze mirror, and turned his back to Lianyi.
Lianyi poked her head behind him again.
Jin Bei couldn't cry or laugh, "Your Highness, the ministers are guarding against the mechanism or poison behind this mirror, you should hide a little." β
Lianyi obediently withdrew her head and muttered behind him, "Then, it's not good to kill you." β
"Kill the minister, you straighten out the Wei Fairy and be the head of the guard, and you won't get in the way."
Why are you still jealous about this!
Lian Yi was angry, and said, "You don't want me to give others a nickname, and you don't want me to run around with others, so don't leave me......"
That doesn't sound right. Lianyi herself blushed first. Maybe it would be stranger to explain it again, so she didn't.
"Come, look."
Jin Bei turned his body back again, holding the bronze mirror in his hand.
Lianyi "Huh" for a moment, "Didn't open it?" What do you want me to see? β
Jin Bei's face was about to overflow with a smile, "It's opened, the minister has confirmed, there is no danger." However, His Highness may be curious about the process of opening, isn't he? β
It turned out that he deliberately closed it in order to satisfy Lianyi's curiosity, and was ready to do it all over again.
Lianyi raised her eyebrows, looked down to observe, and saw Jin Bei take a big hand, touch the sun and moon in the middle of the dragon, turn around, and the bronze mirror opened from the middle.
The whole process was very short, but Lianyi couldn't help but cross her hands and look forward to it.
Behind the bronze mirror was a small piece of yellow silk cloth, rolled up. Jin Bei took it out and unfolded it again.
Silk Brie, holding a key. Jin Bei took the key first, and then looked at the silk cloth with Lianyi, with a few lines of words written in cinnabar red:
"Longfeng returns to the flag, when is the moonlight.
Brother to brother, who will be blazing?
Xijon sacrifices horses, the ceremony of a great country.
There is no reincarnation, and the mountain comes out of the green jade. β
Jin Bei frowned, looking ignorant, "What is this?" β
Lianyi looked at her and smiled, "Jin Guard, you're not good at studying, are you?" β
Jin Bei coughed dryly, "Minister, I know a few words." Didn't you still recite the verses last night? β
"Oh, you mean that song!"
Jin Bei seemed to admit defeat, "If the minister is good at studying, he will take the top prize, what do you do as a soldier?" His Royal Highness still looked at it carefully," he glanced at the piece of silk cloth with his eyes, and for a moment his eyebrows were full of affection, and the peach blossoms were all over the sky, and he was indeed a stunning person. Lianyi is even almost certain that what this man caused in the north has something to do with women.
Lianyi also coughed dryly, "This, I don't know what it means, it looks like a signature." Most of this kind of headless and brainless text, no matter how it can be explained, is given by monks and Taoists. However, in the signing document, it is Xirong and a big country, and I feel that it has something to do with Wubie Moon Valley and even this dynasty. β
Jin Bei seriously put the silk cloth in front of his eyes and looked left and right, "This silk cloth, this cinnabar, are all new, if it is left by Princess Rouxi, I am afraid it will be the past six months, or even the past few months." β
Lian Yi was like a child who had done something wrong, and she was tempting, stumbling, and told Jin Bei what she heard from Manzhu, "Jin Guard, you say, could it be that some monk or witch invited by the crown princess left it?" β
Jin Bei stopped talking, obviously thinking about things. Lianyi stayed quietly and waited for him.
Jin Bei finally spoke again, "What about this key, what's going on?" β
"Uh...... This ......"
"Your Royal Highness, the person invited by the crown princess is for the sake of clichΓ©s, even if there is something left, it will be left to the crown princess, is Princess Rouxi hiding in the mirror like this?"
Lianyi shook her head.
"In addition," Jin Bei seemed to be more sure of something, and then said: "Observing with the eyes of the minister, this bronze mirror is very abrupt among all the old things of Princess Rouxi. Is it the same as the silk cloth and the key, which are not her daily things, but obtained from the outside? β
"How can you tell it's not her daily use?"
"It's not the same road as what she likes."
"You really have a knack for women."
"This - Your Highness the Gold Award. Your Royal Highness, please first take your heart back to what you find in front of you, Princess Rouxi can go out of the palace, there is an errand in Taixue, and the royal gift is the right to ride a horse on the street in the capital. β
Lianyi pondered for a moment, "So, the reason for my sister's elopement is really complicated, and besides, the clue is outside the palace?" β
Jin Bei smiled, as if to comfort Lianyi, who seemed to be a little nervous at the moment, "Your Highness, you and Wei Qi are right, and the ministers will not advise you on this matter in the future." Princess Rousse ran away for a more complicated reason. And Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, maybe you will put pressure on you because of this. In order to protect yourself, of course, you have to know as much as possible in front of everyone. β
"So, you-"
"The Wei goblins have helped you, and as the head of the guard, he is naturally the best of the best!"
Lianyi was relieved and happy from the bottom of her heart, "So, the three of us, we, are considered allies?" β
Jin Bei's answer was ruthless: "For your interests, the minister is loyal." Only when the minister and His Highness are involved in the same matter, and everyone acts together, can it be considered an alliance. β
Lianyi was a little disappointed, and deliberately covered it with a smile, "Then, please ask the Jin guards to be loyal." β
"His Highness will not give up."
Lian Yimou drawn, "In this way, Jin Guard, these things are placed with you." β
"Rest assured, keep them safe."
"You or the guards, find a way to find someone to ask Manzhu first, do you remember such a thing?"
Jin Bei smiled like a flower, "Don't you want to participate in person?" β
Lianyi sighed, "Of course I want to, not to mention that I'm still worried about her!" β
Jin Bei seemed to be very satisfied with Lianyi's state, "Aren't you going to patrol the night tonight, it's still difficult to go to the cold palace?" β
"You're here, you're here, you're here! How daring! β
"Accept, the minister's nickname is Jin Daring."
"No, you're a golden guard, don't have a nickname." Lianyi resolutely contained.
The two of them didn't look like they were really angry with each other, they were more like bickering, and they flipped through them together as they spoke, and felt that there was nothing strange about them, so they walked out of the utility room together, locked the door, and left the floor, first to visit the victim of flogging, Wei Qi.
Lianyi ordered Jin Bei to say what he had just said, and showed Wei Qi the things again.
Wei Qi's face was delicate, "Your Highness, you must have a conscience, and you want to say that you took the opportunity to make a decision this morning and have the duty to accompany you to carry out some adventures and investigations, but the minister." When you find out the truth and reward your merits, don't have only the golden guards in your eyes and forget the ministers. β
Jin Bei was happy to see him, as if he was more relaxed than in front of Lianyi, "Don't just talk about it." Although Your Highness wants to use you, you also have to use it a little. β
"How am I useless? I'll be able to provide a clue right now β you know what? Who cleaned up this bronze mirror? I! β
Jin Bei stepped forward and patted Wei Qi on the head, "Looking for a beating, Your Highness is here, you are full of you, me, what about etiquette?" β
Lianyi was full of interest, "It's okay, forgive you for your innocence, when there are no outsiders, you can tell me anything." Say, what's the clue? β
Wei Qi was triumphant and mysterious, "This bronze mirror is not with other mirrors, boxes, rouge gouache, and it is bigger than them, and it doesn't even have a mirror cover, and it is placed in a box full of winter coats." The clothes in the box are still a little messy, as if they were pulled apart and the mirror was found, maybe they wanted to take it away, but they felt inconvenient and put it back again? β
Before Lianyi could react, Jin Bei spoke first: "The box of the winter coat dress...... So Princess Russe got this mirror and kept it in it. The Buddha's birthdays and festivals in the first month of the year are too many to count, and this mirror is likely to appear at that time. Knowing the approximate date, it's easy to ask Manjoo. β
Lianyi and Wei Qi were both a little eager and impatient for the evening. Jin Bei looked at the two of them like two children, "Wei Qi, you better lie down." Your Highness, don't stay in this house, it's not good. The minister sent you back, and the minister changed shifts to eat. β
Lianyi was reluctant, Jin Bei went to dinner, but she wanted to stay with him for a while.
This idea was not good, so she had to say, "When I go back, I feel empty, boring, and easy to think too much, I don't know others, and this East Palace is unfamiliar - just let me stay with Wei Qi." β
Jin Bei couldn't do anything, opened the door, and called two people over, "Your Highness is here to talk to the deputy chief of the guard, you are waiting next to you at any time, call the east and the west, go and do it immediately, don't be lazy." β
"Yes." The two men replied.
"Tell someone to ride to the camp again, I have something to confiscate. There's my peach blossom nail in that rattan box. Fetch. β
Someone outside the door said yes and left. Jin Bei explained to Lianyi, "The prince asked you to wear armor and patrol the night. Our black armor now is too big, and you're going to get tired of wearing it. Take another one to wear, it also looks good, it is warm, and it is not so tired. β
"Don't talk about it, old woman." Wei Qi rolled his eyes.
Jin Bei smiled, took advantage of Wei Qi's inattention, hit him again, and quickly withdrew.
When men are with men, they are naΓ―ve enough.
Lianyi waited for the sound of Jin Bei's military boots to get farther and farther away, and immediately said to Wei Qi: "Let me ask you, Jin Bei is in the north, what did you do?" β
