Chapter 287: Another Sister
Bai Junzhuo suddenly heard a sound behind the shelf in front of him, so he put down the lion's head in his hand and looked over, the shelf full of dishes and chopsticks trembled a little.
Bai Junzhuo strode over, and dragged the person behind the shelf, the man quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said a few words of Nanban that Bai Junzhuo couldn't understand.
Looking at the dress, this person should be a palace maid from the Southern Barbarians. Bai Junzhuo said to her helplessly: "I don't understand anything about you." ”
When the girl heard this, she raised her head to look at her, and Bai Junzhuo found that her facial features and face were very characteristic of the Li Kingdom, not at all like the Southern Barbarians.
Sure enough, the maid said in the Li dialect: "You are also from the Li country?" ”
Bai Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and it was also a great blessing in life to meet his old acquaintance in another country.
She immediately patted her knees and stood up, and happily said to Bai Junzhuo: "My name is Xiaoyan, what is your name?" ”
"I ...... My name is Xiaobai. ”
Xiaoyan blinked, pulled her and said, "A few days ago, I heard that the queen mother of our Li Kingdom was going to marry, are you the queen mother's personal maid?" ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and asked her, "Why are you here?" ”
"When I was seven or eight years old, I was abducted by traffickers and wanted to sell it to a man in Nanban as a daughter-in-law.
Bai Junzhuo's eyebrows fluttered when he saw this little smoke, but looking at her sallow skin and thin body, it is estimated that she was also bullied in the palace, otherwise she wouldn't have to run here to steal food, and when she saw someone, she immediately hid behind the shelf.
But it's rare that she still looks innocent. Bai Junzhuo asked her, "Do you speak Nanban and Li Guo?" ”
Xiaoyan nodded.
The smile on Bai Junzhuo's face spread, if you want to act conveniently in the Southern Barbarian Country, it must be of great use to have an interpreter by your side. When she asked for directions just now, she thought that it would be nice if there was a translator to follow her, and now God gave her one, how lucky she was.
She asked again, "Xiaoyan, whose maid are you in this palace?" ”
Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head, and said to her embarrassedly: "I'm washing, washing the bucket." ”
Bai Junzhuo was even happier, this is better, in the name of Fu Mingyue, it should still be possible to accept a maid who washes the bucket.
She took Xiaoyan's arm and said, "Queen...... No, it's our princess, who brought me a maid over, and it's inevitable that I'll be lonely. You'll follow the princess in the future, okay? ”
Xiaoyan looked at her in disbelief, pointed at herself, and asked, "Can I follow the princess?" ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded.
Xiao Yan showed a happy look on his face, but it dimmed for a moment, and he lowered his eyes and said to Bai Junzhuo: "The people in the palace don't like me, they all talk about me behind my back, saying that I am an ominous Li Guoren. ”
Bai Junzhuo was puzzled and asked, "Why did they say that about you?" Have you done anything wrong? ”
Xiao Yan's expression was a little painful, and he said to Bai Junzhuo: "Actually, before I entered the palace, I killed three Nanban husbands. After entering the palace, at first, others didn't know about my past, and they didn't know when, but everyone knew about it, and they all said that I was ominous and always bullied me. ”
Bai Junzhuo looked at her intently, she was only in her twenties, and she had already married three husbands. She stretched out her hand to stop Xiaoyan's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry about this, I don't believe in anything auspicious or ominous, follow us, no one will bully you in the future." ”
Xiaoyan covered her face and was silent for a while, and finally pulled Bai Junzhuo's hand away and shook her head: "It's better not to, I myself think I'm an ominous person." ”
"Little Smoke ......"
"That's right," Xiaoyan turned around and reminded her, "The people in the kitchen have been called out by the housekeeper to give a lecture, and they will be back in a while." If you have eaten well, go quickly, although you are the princess's maid, they will not be difficult for you, but it is not good in case you stumble with them. ”
After she finished speaking, she walked out, Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
As soon as I got outside, I saw a group of Southern Barbarians coming from the kitchen, presumably the person who was shouted out of Xiao Yan's mouth to lecture.
When they saw Xiaoyan, they rushed up together and pointed at Xiaoyan and said a lot of things to her, and Xiaoyan stood in the middle of the crowd with his face shrunk, and let them talk.
Even if Bai Junzhuo didn't understand, he knew that he must be scolding Xiaoyan, so he stepped forward to block Xiaoyan and said to those southern barbarians: "You guys are really enough, so many people bully a little girl, are you embarrassed?" ”
They didn't know that Bai Junzhuo came with Fu Mingyue, and seeing that Bai Junzhuo was very strong, they didn't dare to speak rashly, so they all looked at Bai Junzhuo strangely.
Bai Junzhuo said to Xiao Yan: "Tell them that the person who said I was the princess." ”
Xiaoyan nodded, and told them Bai Junzhuo's words in Nanbarian language, and everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, and they all walked away respectfully.
After they left, Bai Junzhuo said to Xiao Yan: "You just follow me, otherwise you will be bullied like this in the future." Follow us and we will protect you. ”
"But, but I ......" Xiaoyan still hesitated.
Bai Junzhuo looked at her and said softly, "Isn't it just that everyone says you are Kefu?" The princess and I are not your husbands, and we will not be afraid of you. If your husband kills the king of the Southern Barbarians, we have to thank you. Do you know ......" Bai Junzhuo lowered his voice and said to her: "The queen mother had to marry Nanban for the peace of the Li Kingdom, and what she loves in her heart has always been our majesty. ”
Xiao Yan looked panicked and looked up at Bai Junzhuo, as if wondering why she told her such an important matter.
Bai Junzhuo hugged her shoulders with a big grin, and said to her: "There are only a few of us Li people in this Nanban Palace, of course we have to unite, are you willing to follow us and say a word." ”
Xiaoyan hesitated: "I...... I want to think about it. ”
"What else is on the table?" Bai Junzhuo raised his voice and said to her: "I am not afraid of what you are afraid of if you believe the nonsense of unknown people?" Life is short, what's the point of thinking about it. Hurry up with it or not, in a word! ”
Xiao Yan looked at Bai Junzhuo in a daze, then nodded, and said in a firm voice: "I am willing." ”
Bai Junzhuo smiled with satisfaction, great, there is a human translator, presumably the day when the assassination mission is completed and the surveillance foursome escape from the Nanban Palace is not far off!
Xiao Yan's eyes stared at Bai Junzhuo without blinking, and he muttered slightly: "I always think that a person like you should be more than just a maid. ”
Bai Junzhuo didn't know what she meant, and turned his head to look at her.
"Even if your face is not good-looking and you are still a little old, I always feel that your charm from the inside out cannot be compared to even the bewitching Herky!" Xiaoyan praised her sincerely, paused again, and said, "Sure enough, the maids around the queen are different, and I want to cultivate a temperament like yours!" ”
Bai Junzhuo wanted to laugh a little, patted her head, and asked again: "Then you have decided to follow the queen mother now, who do you want to tell?" I don't know much about the rules in the palace. ”
Xiaoyan shook her head: "Maids like me belong to the 'wild', and if someone wants to, they can follow them, and they don't need to tell anyone." ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, and said to her, "Then let's go back now." ”
Xiaoyan said "um", and was about to leave here with Bai Junzhuo, when Bai Junzhuo saw the thirteen who didn't have time to dodge, he suddenly thought of the head at the door of the dormitory.
Her footsteps stopped abruptly, and Xiaoyan asked her puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
Bai Junzhuo was silent for a while, and asked Xiaoyan: "You have been in Nanban for so long, do you know the custom of the Nanban Kingdom to put people's heads at the door?" ”
"Let people go?" Xiao Yan thought about it for a while, and said to her: "This should have something to do with the curse, it's similar to the witchcraft of Li Guo, and I don't know very well." ”
"Then who knows in this palace?"
"I don't know," Xiaoyan shook her head, "And I think that even if they knew, we wouldn't be able to ask them directly, we would be suspected of malicious intentions." ”
Bai Jun lowered his eyes and pondered, and the mystery of the human head seemed to be in an embarrassment again.
"Still, I know there's a place where I can find it."
Bai Junzhuo immediately asked, "Where?" ”
"The northernmost library of the palace." Xiaoyan said to her.
Bai Jun frowned and said, "But the books in the collection here should all be the words of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, right?" I don't understand it either. ”
Xiaoyan shook his head: "Actually, the writing of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom and the writing of the Li Kingdom are almost the same, and the Southern Barbarian King has always admired the literature of the Li Kingdom, and often asks people to collect the poems and songs that circulate in the Li Kingdom." ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, but he thought that the purpose of this Southern Barbarian King to collect the literature of the Li Kingdom was not only to advocate literature, but also to fully demonstrate his ambition. This Southern Barbarian King has ambitions and scheming, if he can be as ruthless as Yin Mu, it is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he still has the fatal flaw of "lust".
Bai Junzhuo immediately said to her, "Then you can take me to the library now." ”
Xiaoyan nodded, and went with her to the northernmost library.
When I got there, I saw two Nanban guards guarding the outside of the library pavilion, and it didn't seem to be easy to get into.
"Only the Southern Barbarian King can come in the Library Pavilion, and the Southern Barbarian King is in Heji's palace at this time, and he will not come over." Xiao Yan said: "But first, you have to blend in." ”
Bai Junzhuo hid in the dark and thought for a while, then turned around and beckoned to the foursome who were following him from afar, and the four people hurriedly walked over.
She said to the four: "I want to go in, but I think the first two door gods won't let me in, do you have any good way?" ”
Eleven and Twelve left immediately, and came back after a moment and said, "We just checked, there is a window in the back, the guard is empty, you can go in from there." ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded at them, pushed the small cigarette in front of them, and said, "She is my person, you have to protect her well, I will go in and find something." ”
The four nodded, and Thirteen and Fourteen followed Bai Junzhuo around to the back window, Bai Junzhuo pushed open the window and jumped in, and the two were outside to guard her.
Bai Junzhuo looked around, there were rows of bookshelves here, and his gaze extended to the wall at the end, Bai Junzhuo suddenly covered his mouth and snorted softly.
There was a tall and mighty man standing there!
