Chapter 1: Give Me Your Clothes
In the middle of summer, Kyoto is scorching hot. And Linyang City, which is a hundred miles away, has a gentle breeze.
As the largest trade port in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Linyang City is rich and unusually wealthy, and merchants gather. Among them, the Linyang qinist, as the head of the hundred schools, is even richer than the country.
On this day, outside the pianist's dart game, a beautiful and lovely girl flew on the horse. Before the flag in his hand was waved, a gorgeously dressed outsider in the house chased him out.
"Thur, Thur!" The person who came was Qin Yang, the head of the pianist family.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? This dart was a birthday gift bought by Mrs. Li for his wife, and it was not delivered on time, and the second uncle should talk about me again. ”
"Ser, there was a decree from Kyoto yesterday."
"Well, you've said it eight hundred times. Isn't it just for me to marry some prince, isn't there still half a month? What's the hurry. Qin Ruse said impatiently.
Qin Yang looked at his daughter with some embarrassment, this little ancestor was used to beating Xiaoye. If she runs away halfway while she is sending the dart, I'm afraid that the piano family's qi will be exhausted.
"Daddy, aren't you afraid that I'll run away halfway? Although I have been used to it since I was a child, I have not been willful to that extent. Besides, everyone in the world knows that Zhenbei Wang was handsome, and I won't suffer a loss if I marry him. ”
When Qin Yang heard this, his face showed a little pleasure, "You promised to marry the king of Zhenbei?" ”
Qin Ruse rolled her eyes and looked at her old father helplessly: "I said no, as if you would agree?" Anyway, I sent the dart. ”
Immediately, the dart flag waved, and the convoy set off. Qin Yang looked helplessly at the little ancestor who was dusty with horses' hooves, called the guard next to him, He Li, and said, "Find a few reliable young ladies to follow, don't let her run away halfway." ”
After noon, the dart team marched to Luoshui Station, ready to rest for a while.
"Boss, do you want to eat some? The Yangchun noodles in this house are quite good. The guys from the dart team set up the carriage and ran over to ask questions.
"Really?" Qin Ruse has always been fond of eating, and over the years, he has followed his second uncle to the north and south, but he has tasted the food of the Great Zhou. "Let's go!"
After Qin Ruse sat down, he put his sword, Qinglian, on the table. At the same time, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at her behind her instinctive feeling.
"Girl, your face." The boss smiled and put a bowl of noodles in front of Qin Ruse.
"Boss." The guy at the table leaned sideways and whispered, "The guy in the back is a little strange. ”
"Hmm." Qin Ruser answered, and ate the noodles in the bowl with a hundred points of vigilance. But the eyes behind him seemed to be burning, Qin Ruse didn't eat a few bites, and simply got up and walked across from the person.
The other party didn't seem surprised, looked up and down, and then looked at the jade pendant hanging around Qin Ruse's neck and gently hooked the corners of his lips.
"I said this son, you are so good in white!" Qin Ruse yin and yang weirdly appreciated.
The other party smiled, and his slender eyelashes raised slightly, "The girl is overrated." ”
Qin Ruse looked at those bottomless eyes and lost her mind for a while. "Ah, Oh, what is that? It's rare for a kid like you to be so handsome. I don't know what kind of name is worthy of Childe? ”
"In the next place." The man's voice was gentle and tight, but it didn't feel like a weak scholar.
Qin Ruse's eyes glanced slightly, and suddenly his face became cold, "I don't know if Brother Ziyu is my father's person?" It's still my second uncle's person. She grabbed a cup of tea and continued: "I am a pianist with a lot of masters in the dart game, and I am famous all over the world. Whether it's a mountain bandit or a chivalrous person, no one who has not been a long-sighted person has dared to covet my family's business in these years. What's more, this dart is still,"
"It's still the eldest lady of the pianist who doesn't let the eyebrows be personally charged." The man took the words and added gently.
Interrupted for a while, Qin Ruse was a little overwhelmed and touched her head: "Uh, that's right." But ever since I entered the station, your eyes, bigger than brass bells, have been staring at me. And you have a thick callus on your right hand, which is supposed to be caused by years of practicing martial arts with a sword. Moreover, you talk to me with a steady breath, and your martial arts must no longer be below me. ”
The man smiled more gently, like the warm sun of April. "Girl, good eyesight, then why do you think I'm a person sent by your family?"
Qin Ruse changed to a bold and comfortable sitting posture and said: "It's very simple, there are six people with you, two on the second floor, one at the door, one at the manger, one by the window, and one on the tree at the door. But none of these people were aiming for the dart this time. ”
The boy in white didn't seem to expect Qin Ruse to be so smart, and his eyes flashed with unexpected joy. Slender fingers twisted the teacup, took a sip and waited for Qin Ruse to continue.
"But I mean, you don't really need to stare at me. No matter how willful I am, I won't run away from marriage. ”
"Why do you want to run away from the marriage of the royal gift?"
Qin Ruse raised her eyebrows, a look of brother, you are too innocent, "You don't understand this." If you marry a wife, you must not abide by women's morals. I'm used to it since I was a child, and I have been sitting in the house all day long threading needles and threads, how can I be worthy of my hand who wields knives and guns. Although he is the king of Zhenbei, he is a royal nobleman, and a few of them will really go into battle to kill the enemy. Perhaps, like the Kansai general Li Zicheng, the first battle of Jinnan made the deputy general fight bloody along the way, and finally won the military merit himself. ”
Qin Ruse said this to herself, and the man's expression suddenly became cloudy, and the knuckles of the hands shrunk in the long sleeves were white because of anger.
"The thought of spending the rest of my life with such a person is inevitably a little regretful. But what you said is right, this is a royal marriage, which is related to the honor and disgrace of my Qin family, as well as the lives of hundreds of people in the whole clan, how can I be willful. In the last sentence, Qin Ruse's helplessness made people feel a little distressed.
The man looked at Qin Ruse's trembling shoulders and thought she was crying, just about to comfort her. I saw a silver needle coming out of his sleeve between the lightning and flint, sealing his acupuncture points and making him unable to move.
And his first reaction was to give a look to the people who were secretly traveling with him, telling them not to act rashly.
Qin Ruse pretended to cry and raised her head, looked at the other party's embarrassed appearance, and laughed. "I said, Childe, you are really the worst group of guards my second uncle has ever led. Although your kung fu is not bad, your experience in the rivers and lakes is too bad. Qin Ruse said that he got up and took off the man's coat layer by layer, and finally only the close-fitting single coat remained.
"Give me back your clothes!"
"We'll be gone in a moment, and you can ask someone else to help you unlock the acupuncture points. As for your clothes, it should be my dismount for you. Go back and tell my dad that I'm not going to run away from marriage. It's okay, don't send someone to me to make trouble. Let's go! ”
"You!"
After Qin Ruse finished speaking, she patted the man, and she was in a happy mood, humming a little song and leaving the station.
After the dart team left, the man in white suddenly clenched his fists, and an internal force rushed out the silver needle. The two people who were originally on the second floor were already standing behind him.
"Childe." Speak in unison.
"Secretly sent someone to find me Yang Shuo, the deputy general in the Battle of Jinnan. is sending people to keep an eye on Li Zicheng, and there have been more and more scum in the court over the years. ”
"Yes!" The two received the order, and then someone brought a clean set of clothes and handed it to the man in white. After he got dressed, he got up and looked at the direction where the dart car was going, and smiled weirdly: "Miss Qinjia - Qin Ruse." There will be a period later. ”
