Chapter 227: Origin

Zhao Shenglan said to Mo Yingge: "Origin? The origin is naturally like what I told you, does Miss Bai think there is something wrong? Mo Yingge didn't expect Zhao Shenglan to come back and ask her again, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mo Yingge thought for a while, and then asked, "Then may I ask the fifth prince, can you know what happened to the paper kite girl's so-called illness?"

Mo Yingge can be regarded as inquiring around the corner, just waiting to see Zhao Shenglan's answer.

Zhao Shenglan continued: "This ...... In fact, I just know that there is a little bit of fur, and the paper kite has never told me in detail, and besides, I don't know much about these conveniences, but I know that she should be sick and very uncomfortable. ”

Mo Yingge continued to ask inquiringly: "Do the five princes know where the paper kite girl was injured?" Zhao Shenglan shook his head very honestly and replied, "I don't know, because it's not convenient for me to check it."

Mo Yingge can be temporarily determined now, Zhao Shenglan really doesn't know the true situation of the paper kite, Mo Yingge hesitated, and finally decided that it would be better to tell Zhao Shenglan the truth.

"Fifth Prince, I suspect that the paper kite girl should have some nerve damage, if it is not nerve damage, then it may be Gu."

After listening to Mo Yingge's words, Zhao Shenglan's face suddenly changed, and he asked loudly: "Hit Gu?" Do you mean Miao Jiang's Gu? ”

Mo Yingge shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the fifth prince, I'm not very sure about this, I need to continue to check, but I think it's better for you to tell me the truth, for example, how did you and the paper kite girl meet?"

Zhao Shenglan's eyes were slightly dodgy, and Mo Yingge didn't force him to look at him all the time, anyway, if he wanted to say anything, if there was really something hidden and didn't want to tell her, Mo Yingge didn't force it.

Anyway, in the end, the truth will always come out.

Zhao Shenglan finally chose to speak: "Okay, in that case, I'll tell Miss Bai the truth, but can we talk in a different place?"

Mo Yingge guessed that Zhao Shenglan probably didn't want Zhao Shengyi to hear it, so he nodded, Zhao Shenglan took Mo Yingge and turned left and right into a small courtyard, and after entering the house in the courtyard, Zhao Shenglan sat down, and after being silent for a while, he told Mo Yingge about his encounter with the paper kite girl.

Zhao Shenglan has always liked to travel around, no matter how big the Central Plains is, there is also a day when he has played all over the world, so Zhao Shenglan began to play the idea of places outside the Central Plains.

It just so happened that he was staying at the border between the Central Plains and Nanban for a while, so he simply thought that it would be better to go directly to Nanban to have a look, anyway, now that the world is peaceful, there should be no danger.

So Zhao Shenglan went to Nanban alone, not even with his personal guards, and after arriving in Nanban, Zhao Shenglan found that the lives of the people here were very different from those in the Central Plains.

The location of Nanban is not very good, perennial drought and lack of water, the harvest of crops is not very good every year, people here will raise some cattle and sheep, but it is also because of the lack of water, so the livestock here are also very thin one by one.

The life of the Southern Barbarians is really something that a pampered fifth prince who has lived since he was a child can imagine, and it is here that Zhao Shenglan met the paper kite in the past few days.

Zhao Shenglan found an inn in Nanban that was relatively okay and lived in, and one day when he was playing, Zhao Shenglan suddenly heard a particularly lively voice outside, saying that the auction had started, and in curiosity, Zhao Shenglan also followed the crowd to see the so-called auction.

The auction here is completely different from Zhao Shenglan's impression, it is an open-air place at all, and there is no need to buy tickets, whoever comes first will stand in front, and then if you encounter something you want to buy, you will squeeze into the front by yourself, shouting and bidding.

Zhao Shenglan felt that it was novel, so he tried to squeeze in front of him, and found that the so-called good things they auctioned were just some ordinary and cheap small objects in the Central Plains, just when Zhao Shenglan felt too bored and planned to leave, the last auction item appeared.

It's actually a person!

Speaking of which, Mo Yingge can know without guessing that the person who was auctioned off is the paper kite girl.

Zhao Shenglan then talked to Mo Yingge about the situation at that time, the paper kite was locked in a huge cage, and the small one was curled up in the corner, which looked particularly distressing.

But Zhao Shenglan found that everyone in the crowd didn't seem to have much feeling for this girl except herself, and their expressions seemed to be numb, and even a little disgusted.

Soon, Zhao Shenglan understood the reason.

Just as the master of ceremonies inside was constantly bidding, several voices suddenly shouted, "We can't eat enough ourselves, and we still buy a girl to go home?" ”

"yes, isn't this a money-losing thing?"

Such voices came and went, which made the master of ceremonies very embarrassed on stage, Zhao Shenglan saw that the girl in the cage seemed to have been trembling with fear, and she couldn't bear it for a while, thinking that it was a big deal to take pictures of this girl and send her home, just think that she had done a good deed.

With this in mind, Zhao Shenglan photographed the paper kite, in fact, he also increased the price by 10%, and photographed the paper kite.

Because no one shoots at all.

At the end of the auction, Zhao Shenglan followed the emcee to the back to pick up the girl who was photographed by herself, during which Zhao Shenglan carefully inquired with the emcee about the origin of the girl who was locked in the cage.

The master of ceremonies told Zhao Shenglan that this was a girl born with spiritual powers, and she was good at divination.

Although Zhao Shenglan didn't believe in these messy superstitious things, she had to admit that Zhao Shenglan had been interested in this girl since then.

Zhao Shenglan took the paper kite back to the inn, when the paper kite was released, he was wearing an iron chain, and the master of ceremonies told Zhao Shenglan that this iron chain must not be loosened, otherwise, if this person runs away, they will not be responsible for the auction.

After Zhao Shenglan returned to the inn with the paper kite, he thought about how to place her, the paper kite at that time kept her head down, timid, and automatically found a corner to squat when she entered the house, Zhao Shenglan tried to communicate with her, but it was completely useless.

Zhao Shenglan thought that she had bought a dumb girl and came back, but only later did she find out that it was a language barrier.

In fact, at the beginning, the Nanban did not speak Chinese, and they had their own language, but it was only known to the more traditional clansmen.

In recent years, because of the transactions with the Central Plains, they have been assimilated to the southern barbarians.

But the paper kite should be a girl from a relatively old and traditional Nanban family, and it is no wonder that the master of ceremonies told Zhao Shenglan that this girl is a divination master.

Zhao Shenglan was very curious about divination, but the paper kite had not been communicating well with him, and they lived in dumb words every day.

On the third day, the paper kite suddenly said to him the first thing, "Thank you".

Zhao Shenglan was pleasantly surprised at that time, and since then, the communication between the two has become more, and in the follow-up, Zhao Shenglan suddenly found that something was wrong with the paper kite.

By the way, the name paper kite was obtained by Zhao Shenglan for her, and her original family name sounded too troublesome, so Zhao Shenglan simply changed her name.

Mo Yingge was a little curious, what was the original clan name of the paper kite, but as far as Zhao Shenglan's mind was concerned, I was afraid that he didn't remember it for a long time.

Mo Yingge asked in detail, and Zhao Shenglan felt that something was wrong with the paper kite.

Zhao Shenglan thought for a while and said: "For example, sometimes at night, she will suddenly open the door and run outside, raise her head, and bow to the moon, which looks very grand and sincere, and sometimes, she will suddenly go crazy and beat the chain, feeling as if ...... It's like you're going to hit yourself with a chain! ”

Mo Yingge suddenly found that Zhao Shenglan's description was really not much different from his own guess, and there must be something wrong with this paper kite.

It's just that whether her origin is good or bad, Mo Yingge can't have an accurate conclusion yet.

Mo Yingge then asked: "Then why did you tell me that she was sick and injured at that time, don't you know how the injuries on her body came from?"

Zhao Shenglan replied: "It's true that I was sick, when I took her back to the Central Plains, as soon as I arrived in the capital, she suddenly fainted!" As for being injured, it was because I smelled blood in her room. ”

Mo Yingge nodded, thoughtful.

It seems that Zhao Shenglan and what she said should be the truth, yes, as a prince, Zhao Shenglan has no need to hide this kind of thing.

Mo Yingge really didn't expect that Zhao Shenglan would be so kind to save a woman of different races and bring her back to the capital. Zhao Shenglan suddenly said, "By the way, Miss Bai, she is a paper kite...... Her experience is indeed quite pitiful, I inquired when I was in Nanban, and her family was killed by the nobles, and she was the only one left. ”

Mo Yingge didn't understand what was going on, so Zhao Shenglan explained: "The hierarchy on the Nanban side is particularly distinct, the highest is the royal family, and below the royal family are the nobles, but the royal family rarely goes to the lives of the common people, so it is generally the nobles who cause more trouble."

Mo Yingge nodded and said, "So, the paper kite's family was killed by this so-called nobleman?"
