Chapter 18: Freemasonry

Xiao Ling got into Yushu's carriage as he wished.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Xiao Ling looked at Yushu with big excited eyes and unblinking. Although she knows that everyone has a nose and two eyes, she really hasn't seen a princess before! I want to see if there is any difference between the princess and the average person.

"Why does the girl look at Yushu like this?" Yushu was probably uncomfortable with Xiao Ling's unabashed gaze, and finally couldn't help but ask out loud.

Xiao Ling also knew that his gaze was too straightforward, and he couldn't help blushing with embarrassment, but he still honestly said the reason for his consideration: "I've never seen what a princess looks like, I want to see what is different from us ordinary people." ”

As soon as Xiao Ling's words were finished, the two maids couldn't help laughing, and even Princess Yushu, who had an excellent temperament, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Ling also felt that he was too hillbilly and too short-sighted, but he found another problem in his self-criticism. Xiao Ling turned to look at the two maids who couldn't hold back their laughter: "You two can also understand Daqin's language!" ”

"Ah Zhen and Ah Li have followed me since they were children, so they naturally know a little bit about it." Yushu Xiao Ling solved her doubts.

"Oh!" Xiao Ling nodded, "Where are you the princess?" Are you here to visit Daqin? ”

Xiao Ling didn't realize that this was in ancient times, and Yushu's identity was that of a noble princess, and there was no sense of dignity and humility when talking to her, just no difference from talking to ordinary people.

Fortunately, Yushu is only a princess of a small country, and the sense of respect and inferiority in her country is not very strong, if it is replaced by other princesses waking up with such a tone and attitude, I don't know how many times she will die.

On the other hand, Yushu's eyes darkened significantly after listening to Xiao Ling's words, and even Ah Zhen and Ah Li looked a little strange.

Xiao Ling also felt that the atmosphere in the carriage instantly became strange, and asked with some puzzlement, "Did something happen?" Did I say something wrong? ”

"It's nothing, Yushu is the princess of Tongnan Country located in the southwest of the Great Qin Kingdom, it's just that the girl guessed wrong, Yushu is not here to play!" Yushu said in a somewhat low voice.

"My name is Xiao Ling, you don't call me a girl, you can call me Xiao Ling, you can also call me Ling'er." Xiao Ling emphasized, "Then what are you here for? When will you go back to your country? Can you take me with you when you go?"

Xiao Ling said to herself, since there is no place to go, it is better to walk around, and she has never been to those provinces in the southwest in modern times.

In that era when it was polluted by industry everywhere, the environment in the southwest was better, and now it is even better, since I have not been there in modern times, it is not bad to see it in ancient times, and it is more authentic.

Xiao Ling fell into his own fantasy but didn't notice that Yushu's expression exuded a faint sadness, "Ling'er, maybe I won't be able to go to Tongnanguo in this life." ”

Xiao Ling was stunned by Yushu's words, and finally caught her unconcealed sadness, "How could it be?" It's your home, and you can go back whenever you want! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ling also thought of her own situation, Tongnan Guo exists in this world, no matter how far the road is, there is a time when it can be reached, but what about her home? That's a place where no means of transportation can take you!

"The princess is here to make peace with the King of Qin of Great Qin, and it is impossible to go back to Tongnan." Ah Zhen couldn't help but say the purpose of Yushu's being sent to Qin State with a crying voice.

Hearing this answer, Xiao Ling was stunned, she thought that Yushu was just going to Qin State to play, and she could go back whenever she wanted to, but she didn't expect that there would be such a political destination.

Seeing that Yushu is about the same age as himself, presumably the age of the King of Qin is not young, how cruel it is to let such a fancy girl serve a person who can be the same age as her father!

"I'm sorry! I don't know......" Xiao Ling felt that every word she said just now seemed to be reminding this woman of the cruel reality she was about to face, and subconsciously apologized.

Yushu just shook his head, and quickly adjusted his mood: "It's nothing, as long as it is beneficial to the people of Tongnan, what is Yushu's sacrifice!" ”

Yushu's seemingly indifferent words did not make Xiao Ling feel better, but instead became more and more distressed, distressed for Yushu's situation and her resignation. Such a small woman has to shoulder the happiness of the people of a country, and her shoulders are as weak as ordinary girls, how can she carry such a heavy burden!

Xiao Ling finally understood why a Miao princess was required to learn the language of another tribe, presumably she was forced to shoulder the mission of her own country and people as soon as she was born, and her closest relatives should be ready to sacrifice her for their own interests at any time!

Due to the words caused by Xiao Ling, the atmosphere in the carriage was suddenly a little depressed, and the four girls fell into their own thoughts and were silent.

"Where are you going, Ling'er? How can you be alone in the wilderness? Can't find your way home? Yushu was the first to recover from his sadness, and deliberately changed the topic in order to break the silence.

Xiao Ling smiled bitterly, "I don't know where I'm going, I walked and walked to a remote place unconsciously, my home is far, far away, I should be like you, maybe I won't be able to go back to my home in this life." ”

Xiao Ling's words once again made the atmosphere gloomy, Yushu stretched out his hand and attached it to the back of Xiao Ling's overlapping hand and patted it lightly a few times, feeling her comfort, Xiao Ling raised his head and looked at her, although the two of them didn't say anything, it was the comfort of any language in the world, only the two of them understood each other's pain at this moment.

The sound of horses' hooves from far and near broke the low pressure of the carriage, and the two girls, who were also uprooted from their homeland, looked at each other and smiled, washing away each other's sadness.

"Princess, Wang Tuo, the deputy general of the Mengjia Army, asks to see you!" Liu Shiyan's respectful voice came from outside the carriage.

Hearing what Liu Shiyan said, Xiao Ling suddenly grabbed Yushu's hand, Yushu was about to go out but saw Xiao Ling holding himself tightly, and was very puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"Yushu, don't let him know about my existence!" Xiao Ling said with pleading eyes.

Yushu glanced at the car curtain, thought for a while, and then nodded, and Ah Zhen and Ah Li lifted the curtain, revealing his body. Xiao Ling saw a familiar face through the slightly opened car curtain and immediately hid himself tightly.

"Wang Tuo meets the princess!" Wang Tuo had already dismounted and waited outside the car, and when he saw Yushu getting out of the car, he immediately took his own people to salute her.

"The general is exempt!" Yushu waved his hand elegantly, "Why is there only one general, and I don't know where General Meng and the others are?" ”

Yushu naturally knew that the King of Qin had sent General Meng to greet him, but he didn't know why he only saw a deputy general now, but he didn't see the general.

"Princess, General Meng led his troops to camp in Wuguan to wait for the princess, but when he saw that the princess was delayed, he asked the last general to come to inquire about the news."

"Well, it's so annoying to the general!" Yushu politely replied to Wang Tuo.

"How dare you, this is the duty of the last general." Wang Tuo also responded to Yushu's words politely and politely.

After the two finished speaking, Yushu returned to the carriage, and the group began to move forward smoothly again!

As soon as Yushu entered the carriage, Xiao Ling grabbed her hand and said, "Yushu, you can find a way to put me off the car!" It doesn't matter where you are, as long as you don't let Wang Tuo know about my existence. ”

"Why? Do you have anything to do with that general? Yushu asked curiously, from Xiao Ling's performance, she could guess that she must know that general, but she didn't know what made her so afraid to see him.

"It's hard to put into words, anyway, I don't want to see him!" Xiao Ling didn't know how to explain it, so he had to take it in one sentence.

Seeing Xiao Ling's embarrassed appearance, Yushu didn't force her, and nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention to see if I can find an opportunity to get you off the carriage." ”

"Thank you, Yushu!" Xiao Ling is very grateful to Yushu, although they have just met, but there is an indescribable fate, just like she and Meng Yan can get along like best friends who have known each other for a long time.

This is probably what people often call fate! Some people are just like strangers even if they meet every day, even if they have known each other for a long time, but some people have an inexplicable intimacy as if they have known each other for a long time.

"No, it's just that I'm a little reluctant to part with you like this!" Yushu didn't hide his feelings, although they hadn't known each other for more than an hour, but the two of them had also experienced life and death, and it could be said that they were friends of life and death.

In that kind of status, it was difficult for Yushu to have intimate friends, and he and Xiao Ling were naturally reluctant to be separated like this, and maybe this time they would not be separated again in this life.

Yushu expressed it so bluntly, Xiao Ling was very moved, "I am also very reluctant to you!" You're still the highest-ranking person I know! If I could, I really wanted to hug your thighs tightly, so that I would not have to worry about wearing clothes for the rest of my life. ”

Xiao Ling said half-jokingly, causing the three people in the car to chuckle, but after the low laugh, it was the cruel reality that had to be faced.

"Although I am a princess, I don't know anything when I arrive at the palace of Daqin, I would rather be nothing like Ling'er, so I can live freely." Yushu looked at Xiao Ling with envy and said.

Xiao Ling hugged Yushu when he heard this, and said with a little choked up: "There will be, one day you can be free." ”

Everyone knows that this sentence is just comfort, and it is simply impossible to achieve, but Yushu can't help but yearn for it. Although she knew that everything was extravagant, she was unwilling to stop her extravagant hopes, maybe she thought that she would be better off in the golden wire cage in the palace!
