Chapter 162: The Holy Maiden's Bloodline
On the morning of the second day, Yan Xin didn't get up until the hour came, and he was in a good mood when he looked at the weather outside.
Today's temperature has come back a little, thinking that Luo Yunxi should have already brought the words, in order to avoid errors in time and place, she also deliberately asked Jing'er to open the door again yesterday, hoping that Ye Jing would not give a bad thing.
Seeing that the time was not early, Yanxin asked Jing'er to send a message to Lu Mang, saying that she would ask her to go to the market. After Jing'er withdrew, she looked at the jewelry she had wore, and couldn't help but be interested, comparing and drawing one by one, feeling that the small life was very comfortable.
She didn't expect Lu Mang to agree in one bite, and rushed over to accompany Yanxin from changing clothes to going out as soon as possible, which was very suspicious.
"Has Miss Lu been to the west of the city before?" In order to ensure that this plan was foolproof, Yanxin first asked Lu Mang about his familiarity with Lanzhou City.
"I've only been there once, or I'm going to buy scallion pancakes to eat, usually Ah Chen will take me to the east of the city or Yipinzhai."
Lu Mang recalls carefully, not like lying.
"That's right, let's go to see the excitement today, I heard that there is a market there, and many vendors from other places have come back to set up stalls, so it's not lively."
The time and place are favorable, and it's too late to feast and be happy.
Lu Mang nodded, took a little emerald hairpin on the table and sandwiched it into the hair of the banquet, and asked.
"Sister Yanxin, your friend yesterday ...... It's a Nishizu person. ”
"You're pretty eye-catching."
She didn't deny it, she wanted to see what Lu Mang was going to say.
After all, according to Luo Yunxi's hue, there must be few women who can escape his clutches, even Ye Jing is no exception.
Thinking about it, Yan Xin quickly snuffed out the little pride in his heart.
"I've seen quite a few people from Xijin, and I remember their unique way of speaking and dressing clearly, but ...... In the end, it's just classmates, and those who should be on the embankment should be on guard. ”
Lu Mang's words had a deep meaning, as if he had some opinion on Luo Yunxi.
Could it be that she was worried that Luo Yunxi was not a good target to provoke, so she advised Yanxin to stay away, so that her plan could be implemented perfectly?
Yan Xin quietly put down the little green hairpin and replaced it with an ordinary hosta. She has always felt that the method of dotting emerald is too cruel, all the dotted emeralds are made of kingfisher feathers, beautiful but bloody, so she only has this one, and she has never brought it.
"What do you mean?"
"Sister Yanxin, I also mean well."
Lu Mang said and put on a look of embarrassment, as if he had to say it like a fish in his throat.
"You've only known each other for a short time, and both of you are not familiar with each other, so you should be careful about your usual contact, some people are not as simple as they seem."
Her words made Yan Xin very puzzled, wasn't it her who was talking about Lu Mang?
What qualifications does a person who knows the next day have to keep her away from the people who have lived and died together.
It's too much of an exaggeration to say that life and death are together, basically the banquet is almost over, and then Luo Yunxi appears at the speed of light to save the beauty.
looked at Lu Mang, who was the most suspicious person, and Yan Xin admitted truthfully, "En...... I think you're quite right. ”
There was a misty drizzle in the sky, the bluestone slabs were mottled with watermarks, the mist was wrapped for thousands of miles, and the air and water were thick.
Yanxin didn't tell Liu Yichen the news of going out today, nor did he bring too many entourages, just said that this was the fun of the girl's house, so he just led a few maids out in a hurry.
Yanxin and her held an oil-paper umbrella with hydrangeas painted on it, but the person holding the umbrella was Lu Mang.
Her shoulders were close to each other, and Yan Xin could smell the smell of incense from the Chu State on her body, which was nothing special in the ordinary, not as good as Luo Yunxi's smell at all.
However, even on a rainy day, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the vendors, some of whom held up large umbrellas on the stalls, and some of whom wore rain boxes on their heads.
Yanxin likes the rainy days in Lanzhou City, so don't be such a drizzly rainy day, as if everything is shrouded in a layer of fine veil, which is not real.
What does this mean, the Lord of Heaven will do her good deeds?
She walked step by step in the middle of the street, and from time to time people recognized her as the eldest lady of the Liu family, and would say hello to her, while Lu Mang would show surprise and cast envious eyes.
I have to say that the talented women's conference is really reliable, and after so long, her limelight has not fallen', and I have to say that Lu Mang will catch people's weaknesses, and praise people will be exaggerated for a little thing, and praise people in the clouds.
Fortunately, Yanxin is not as superficial as Liu Yichen, and he is still resistant to this simple trick of entrapment.
In order to ensure that the distance and time to the meeting place are just right, Yanxin stops and goes, looks at this and that along the way, and gives Lu Mang some ideas from time to time, asking her to spend a little money to buy some rare things that she doesn't usually see.
And Lu Mang really has the characteristics of a woman in the Chu State. likes rouge gouache, likes those colorful things, these are not available in the Chu State, it seems that her Chu identity cannot be faked.
"Actually, I've only heard a lot of stories about the Chu Kingdom, but I haven't had the opportunity to travel, so I don't know what you do at home? Like Tianyu Xijin, is the Chu State also a system of various official ranks and nobles? ”
Now is also the right time, since she is from the Chu State, she is the intelligence news sent to the door, and she just took this opportunity to ask about her biological mother's deeds.
Seeing that Yanxin was very interested in his experience, Lu Mang was also very happy, and began to talk about the story of Chu State endlessly.
"It is true that the state of Chu is a mysterious place among most tribes and countries, but in fact, our subjects are more friendly and inclusive, unlike you who have so many officials and state pastors here, and of course we are not as terrible as the rumors, what is good at witchcraft and likes to sing strange songs, it is just made up."
"Then what is the name of the current monarch of your Chu State?"
Yan Xin was suspicious, stopped next to a cart of flower and grass stalls, and deliberately asked the least important question.
"Chu Tingzhan is the fifth monarch of our Chu country." Lu Mang smoked a pink and white flower and said happily.
"It seems to be a good name, but I haven't heard of it, it seems that the name of the holy daughter of your Chu State has always been more pronounced than the monarch."
Yanxin saw that she liked it, so she looked at Jing'er, Jing'er understood, took out her purse and paid the silver.
The vendor who got the big reward immediately took out the colored paper, wrapped the two bouquets of flowers in his hand for Lu Mang, and handed them to them.
"It's true, the holy woman determines the lifeblood of a country, and can directly affect the rise and fall of our Chu country, so the mission of the holy woman is more arduous than that of the monarch, and she has to take all her people to the right direction."
At the mention of the Holy Maiden, Lu Mang's hands shook as if the Holy Maiden had an extraordinary position in her heart.
However, the status of the saintess of this Chu State is extraordinary, and ordinary civilians like Lu Mang should not even have the right to discuss in private.
"That'...... Who is the saint of your Chu country now? ”
Guan Yan said that her mother is the saint of Chu, if she is like Lu Mang said, her mother has been missing for many years, then won't Chu State be in danger?
"The saint of our Chu State should be called Yan Mingzhou today...... But she'd been there years ago. ”
Yan Mingzhou, Yan Mingzhou!
Guan Yan really didn't lie.
Lu Mang's tone was very calm and serious when she said this, and her eyes were staring straight at Yan Xin, as if she was wondering why Yan Xin was suddenly interested in this matter.
"It turned out to be a travel...... So why didn't you pick another one? ”
She couldn't help but be surprised, but she had to continue to inquire, her mother would definitely not be frozen in the cold pool for no reason, someone must have designed her! It's just that Guan Yan has a very firm mouth, and he refuses to reveal half a word about what happened back then.
"The bloodline of the Holy Maiden can only be inherited by the Holy Maiden herself, this is determined by God, and no one can be asserted by the monarch of my Chu State."
It's hard to see that the people of Chu don't know their mother's whereabouts?
Or did she accidentally encounter trouble after leaving the Chu State? Who will attack the Holy Maiden of Chu State?
"I see......"
According to this, isn't he also a saint of blood?
Lu Mang stroked her hand, took away her insecurity, and asked, "Why is Sister Yanxin suddenly interested in this matter?" ”
"I've just seen it in a book before, and I'm always a little curious, so ...... The saint's travels, but does it have no impact on the national fortunes of the Chu State? ”
Combined with what Lu Mang said before, the life and death of the saintess of Chu must be closely related to the whole of Chu State, and the death of her mother like this definitely gave Chu a lot of blows.
"It's definitely false to say no, so the monarch has been looking for the whereabouts of the saint over the years, but don't tell anyone about this matter, this is a big deal about the lifeblood of my Chu country."
Lu Mang cleverly cut off the topic, and raised the urgency of this matter to the highest, so that Yan Xin couldn't ask any more.
But something worthy of Yan Xin's suspicion, since this matter is so important, how could she, an ordinary subject of the Chu State, know about it, and how could she tell herself so easily?
"And that's what you told me?"
She jokingly voiced her suspicions.
"Because I believe that you are a good person, Sister Yanxin." Lu Mang's eyes seemed to speak, flickering, as if they would bewitch everyone who stared at her.
Oh, woman!
This bazaar is almost the same, Yanxin is controlling the tutorial all the way, and it is guaranteed that the time to go to the bottom is the time to make an appointment with Ye Jing.
At this moment, she smiled, pretending to look around unconsciously left and right, looking for Ye Jing's figure.
"Whoa—"
It's finally here!
At this time, Ye Jing, who was dressed in black, had already attacked with a sword, but her target this time did not seem to be Lu Mang, but Liu Yanxin.
What the hell?
The people around shouted and dispersed as birds and beasts.
"Be careful!"
Lu Mang still had a little conscience, screamed and threw down Yan Xin, and the two of them fell to the ground, and the splashed sludge quickly stained the new skirt.
After Ye Jing stood firm, she drew her sword again and pointed at Lu Mang, as if she was nosy, and then pointed it again.
Only then did she understand her deep meaning, Lu Mang had just arrived, and there would definitely be no enemies in Lanzhou City, and if she was in danger, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so it would be better to throw bricks and attract jade like this.
Yan Xin half got up, watching the two of them hide and chop around, and couldn't help but start admiring Ye Jinglai.
"Miss, miss, are you alright! Quick, what are you still doing, go find the city patrolmen! ”
Jing'er rushed over to help her with a clever wit, and as one of the insiders, she pretended to be very good.
As long as the maid is driven away, then the two of them will be able to take a good look at the true face of this Lu Mang.
