Chapter 10: The Nine Princesses

Tianyou actually just guessed the identity of the beautiful man in clothes, but combined with their previous conversation, this matter is quite tricky. And what Tianyou regrets the most is that he was stupid and took the initiative to get involved, this is really self-inflicted!

After a quick trade-off in his heart, Tianyou's eyes had regained firmness when he looked at the other party again. "Now that I've been decided to be my guide, there are some things I wish I could have made clear in advance. ”

"Speak. ”

Tianyou deliberately looked around and said, "Some things are better known only to our companions, right?"

The beautiful man was obviously stunned, her expression changed slightly, she looked back at the old man, and then turned to the old man in Huangxian County and the village.

The woman praised the work of the two to find the guide, and the village elder of Huang County hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

After a polite sentence, the irrelevant people in the tent were emptied, and only a few people who needed to enter the mountain together remained.

"Can you say it now?" The woman's tone was obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and even implied warning.

Tianyou knew that she must have reacted this way, but he didn't care, but deliberately replied in a slightly frivolous tone: "Yes, my Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Almost at the moment when the word "princess" came out, Tianyou had an extra sword on his neck. It was the girl who was as cold as a blade that shot it. Although Tianyou didn't think about resisting, he was also shocked by her amazing body.

"Ice rain. The princess called softly. With a ding, the blade beauty retracted her sword neatly and retreated back to its original place. At this time, she turned back to Tianyou and asked with a serious expression: "Say, what do you know?"

Tianyou knew that it would be easy to cause misunderstanding if he didn't explain, so he replied cheerfully: "I know that you are a princess, and I know that someone is threatening your safety." "Tianyou guessed that there was much more to it, but the more you know about this kind of thing, the more troublesome it is. He didn't even want to say these two things, but in the past three days, some things are more dangerous if he doesn't say them.

"How did you find out who I am?" the princess's tone softened, but was still serious.

"It's actually easy to guess. Didn't Huang Xiancheng salute you before?"

"That's it?"

Tianyou nodded. "Huang Xiancheng is a high-grade official, according to the Great Qin etiquette system, officials can only salute officials, elders, elders, and dead people, otherwise it is regarded as detrimental to the dignity of the imperial court. There are so many people here, Huang Xiancheng only salutes you, which shows that he is not ignoring the etiquette and the law to befriend the powerful, but is acting according to the etiquette system. In other words, you fit one of the above four identities.

Surely you are not. When you reach the state of the heart, you are considered an elder, I don't know if you are over seventeen, but seventy is definitely impossible, and the rest are only elders or Shangguan. Although it is not strange that there are elders with high age in the big family, Huang Xiancheng I know, he was born in a poor family and has no genealogy, so the elders definitely can't make sense.

Finally, when I came in, I found that the guards outside all had a military temperament, and the only ones who could protect the army were the traveling officials. So you must have an official body, but your age can only be an elder Mengyin, and the only children who are born with grades are royal relatives and relatives, so you are either a princess or a county lord. The rank of the county lord is too low, even if you are favored, it is already beyond the limit to bring out one or two teams of soldiers and horses, but you are close to two songs here, so you can only be a princess.

I only have three princesses in Daqin. The eldest princess is a mother, and your age is not right. The little princess is said to be not yet ten years old, so you can only be the ninth princess Yingying. ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... Ying Ying high-fived and praised: "I thought you were just a good hunter, but I didn't expect your mind to be so sharp." It's just that I don't know a few things. Ying Ying was quite polite when she said the first half of the sentence, but when she said the second half of the sentence, her face had returned to coldness.

Tianyou felt that the princess was a little wary of herself, and she guessed the general reason, but now she could only explain it slowly. "I wonder what else the princess wants to know?"

"I want to know who you are. Ying Ying stared at Tianyou, ready to capture the change in expression at that moment at any time. "The strength of my Great Qin, the number of troops led by the title, the official etiquette system, and the age characteristics of our three sisters are not secrets, but you are a hunter in the mountains and wilderness, why do you know this? Listening to your conversation, you should have gone to school, the village elder said before, you grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and you didn't have parents, how can you go to school? If it weren't for the village elder saying that you grew up in Qingyuan Village, I would even suspect that you were an assassin who was specially arranged here. But you're not an assassin. So who the hell are you?"

Tianyou listened to Ying Ying's questioning, looked at her face, but his eyes became more and more gentle, making Ying Ying's voice smaller and smaller, and even a red glow flew on her face.

"You...... What are you looking at?" Ying Ying wanted to scold, but when she opened her mouth, she found that her voice seemed to be coquettish, and she was even stunned for a moment.

"How dare you be rude to the princess. Lu Zhengyi, who stood up, pulled out his sword with a bang, but was immediately stopped by Ying Ying reaching out.

Seeing Yingying, whose expression returned to seriousness, but still had a hint of ruddy on her face, Tianyou really liked this woman more and more. He has seen a lot of beautiful women in his previous life, but such a temperament is definitely rare, and now he even finds that this woman has wisdom that is not inferior to his own. Such a perfect woman, if she was still in the previous life, Tianyou vowed to chase her down and take care of her carefully, but he knew that he couldn't afford to climb high in this life. In this hierarchical world, it is a sin to even shout such a thing as equality.

"If I say I'm a genius, do you believe me?" Tianyou deliberately joked, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Obviously he had already warned himself that this woman was not something he could covet, but he couldn't help but start flirting with his sister as soon as he opened his mouth. "Am I intransignant?" Tianyou secretly complained in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change. Now that it's been said, it's just a matter of sticking to the head.

"I believe it. Ying Ying's answer made Tianyou obviously stunned for a moment, the joking expression on his face disappeared, and he didn't know how to pick it up for a while.

Looking at Tianyou's stupid expression, Ying Ying couldn't help but turn up the corners of her mouth, but she quickly suppressed it, but she didn't notice the abnormal hint of pleasure.

"Let's get down to business. How did you know we were being hunted? We had just lowered the curtain, and you couldn't have heard. ”

"I didn't know you were being hunted, I just knew that someone was threatening you, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop. You know, monsters are very light on their feet, I'm a hunter, and I suffer a lot if I don't have good ears. ”

"So you heard our conversation?" Ying Ying was quite surprised, but thinking that what she and the others said was actually very vague, she was a little relieved.

It can't be said that these people are indiscriminate, and they actually talk about such an important thing casually. At that time, they obviously put down the leather curtain for sound insulation, and normal people should not be able to hear it. And there are limitations of the times. Just like Tianyou's performance just now was discovered by Ying Ying to be abnormal, in this era, there are very few people who can understand military affairs. The big tent, including Huang Xiancheng, can be counted as their people, and the village elder and Tianyou were two mountain village husbands in their eyes at that time, so they didn't think that these people could understand their conversation at all, plus they also used soundproof curtains, which could still be heard, and deduced the key information, they could only say that Tianyou was a bug, not their fault.

Ying Ying, who wants to understand, doesn't plan to hide anything, as a guide, letting Tianyou know more about the situation is a guarantee for their safety.

"It's good that you know. We've been attacked three times along the way, all of them ambushes. The guards you see are actually less than half of what we set out for, which is why we don't take the official road. ”

Tianyou suddenly said: "There is a post station to change horses, you travel day and night, and it is not difficult to reach the royal city within six days." It's just that there aren't many horses at the post station, and they can't support so many people. That's why you want to go on the mountain road. In fact, what you need most is not time, but to get rid of your pursuers. ”

Ying Ying nodded slightly. "Is there anything you can do?"
