Chapter 41: Troubled Times, Su Qing

She likes the name Su Qing very much, not why, just to have her own surname and first name, born in a slave family, she is not worthy of having her own name and relatives, Crisp Pear is lucky to be assigned to the third lady of the Zhong family as a personal companion since she was a child, she was led to the third lady's room in a daze, looking at the huge room she almost couldn't walk, the snacks on the table were all unseen, a graceful and luxurious beautiful little girl who visited her own age jumped towards herself, she knew that this was her future master, It is also the master of life, according to the rules of Dongyang City, the slaves of the main family must have a mark, with this mark and then take refuge in others is equivalent to betraying the master, no one will use it, her left arm is branded with a "blue character", which means that she is Zhong Roulan's lifelong slave.

How can I resist the temptation of dim sum when I am still young, while respectfully asking for an eye but I have been glancing at the dim sum, Zhong Roulan saw this and directly took a plate of golden dim sum from the table and handed it over, seeing that she didn't dare to take it, she encouraged herself with her eyes Then, the fear in her heart couldn't resist the stupidity of her taste buds after all, it was delicious, a sweet smell of pears, and she had secretly eaten the pears that had fallen to the ground and rotted before.

Seeing that she was gobbling up, Zhong Roulan laughed out loud and said, "I like to eat crisp pear cake so much, so I'll call you crisp pear in the future." ”

His stuffed mouth couldn't make a sound at all, and he nodded desperately, thinking that maybe if he listened to Zhong Roulan's words, he would always have such delicious food.

Later, I found out that she may be the happiest maid in the whole Dongyang City, her master has always been like a child, even if she makes a mistake, she has never taken her maid to blame, she always has the momentum of wanting to kill or chop whatever you want, and the angry head of the family almost didn't throw Zhong Roulan from Wanghai Pavilion.

However, although her master is said to be like a child, it would be wrong if you treat her as a child, her thinking is clear, her eyes are bright, her personality is tenacious, she can be called a genius in the way of martial arts, everything can't escape her eyes, she is only fifteen years old and has practiced the "water avoidance technique" to the fifth layer, but every time she cultivates, she forces herself to accompany her, otherwise she will not be given food, and she has unconsciously practiced to the third layer over the years, but no one knows about Zhong.

Zhong Roulan had a secret talk with Xiao Yu during Meng Yan's injury, and then Zhong Roulan decisively wanted to go back to Yujun, and forcibly left herself to Meng Yan, before leaving, Zhong Roulan told herself: "Crisp pear, you stay in the Zhong family, staying by my side is not a long-term solution, my second brother does not have so many constraints here, you can live freely, live the days you want to live, never go back to the Zhong family, the two of us have grown up together since childhood, we are already sisters, I always have to think about you." ”

She refused many times, but Zhong Roulan insisted on her attitude, after all, she still didn't resist Zhong Roulan to stay in Mengyan's mansion, and her life in the prince's mansion was just like Zhong Roulan said, free and easy, whether it was Mengyan or Cangshu Haoyue, she treated herself as a sister, and gave herself a name, and even the people in the mansion called her "Su Niangzi" or "Grandma" when they saw her, and they completely regarded themselves as Miss Fuli.

Since Meng Yan went on the expedition, she saw Cang Shu Haoyue's longing, plus Xiahou Ying also went out and didn't know where to go, and she was bored in Chencheng, so she encouraged Haoyue to come to the army, where would Cang Shu Haoyue refuse to half push and half of the two came secretly, sure enough, Meng Yan bowed his head in Cangshu Haoyue's operation, and he was not so lucky, the night before the army, Meng Yan ran to his tent and scolded until his mouth was dry, but he was very happy, because no matter how Meng Yan scolded, How to threaten yourself not to give food or anything, this is what an elder brother should do, fortunately, Ye Bohuai came to save his life and asked him to come to Jin Qian to help, originally Meng Yan refused, but his strong insistence made Meng Yan relieved: "County Prince, there is no one in the army who is more familiar with water than me, this letter is the key to the battle of Wugang, and it must be kept secret, isn't it?" ”

Meng Yan hesitated for a long time before deciding to send five hundred soldiers to escort her to the front line of Wugang, and repeatedly told her to be safe, Shuli felt very warm, but Ye Bohuai's eyes were somewhat ill-intentioned.

It is not comfortable to be in the water for a long time, although it is close to the southern border, the river water at night is still very cold, the sound of fighting in the ears is getting farther and farther away, and the naked eye can almost see the shape of the Wugang East Water Gate.

After less than two quarters of an hour, he finally arrived at the water gate, and Su Qing said to the tired half-dead entourage beside him: "Wait a minute, I will use the water avoidance technique, you two are ready to hold your breath, I will give you a quarter of an hour at most, and you must find an entrance to the city under the water at the east gate." ”

The two entourages nodded, as a navy, their physical fatigue could not compare to the temptation of the "Water Avoidance Technique", the best water exercise in the world.

I saw Su Qing take a deep breath, his body slid into the bottom of the water like a fish, and when he was visible in the water, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the belts of the two of them and pulled them directly into the depths of the water, when the two of them were still surprised, Su Qing actually walked in the water as if he was on land, and a circle of air was formed around the place where his body went, both of them were in the air circle, breathing freely, Su Qing's face began to flush a little bit, seeing the two people in a daze, he said: "Hurry up and find the door, are you expecting me to suffocate to death?!" Two big men consume very quickly! ”

The two of them reacted to this scolding, Su Qing flipped the atmosphere with his left and right hands to form three small circles of atmosphere, and the surprised looks of the two entourages never stopped, and the title of the first in the water really lived up to its name.

It was also fortunate that in less than a quarter of an hour, a gap in the water fence was found on the left side of the east gate, just enough to pass through the space of one person.

After the three of them went ashore in turn, the two entourages were all admired by Su Qing, knowing that she was the young lady of the county mansion, and the respect for her at the beginning was now worship. Su Qing saw the adoring eyes of the two, stepped forward and kicked the two of them, and said, "Don't be stunned, this is Wugang City, not the camp of the Bai Ze Army, you two don't want to pull me if you want to die." ”

One of the more sedate attendants said, "Miss Qing, where does this quartz live?" ”

This stopped Su Qing, just thinking about how to enter the city, but forgetting that the key is where the quartz is, if you can't find the quartz, it means that you didn't come, Su Qing thought for a while, and said to another entourage who looked more shrewd: "Mo Geng, I remember that Ye Shuai told me that you are from Lingling and know Shaoling, right?" ”

"Yes, eldest lady, my family was originally a businessman, but when I offended the Gu family, I was confiscated." Mo Geng replied.

"Well, Wugang has been besieged for several days, and the army of the county prince has also cut off the waterway between Baoqing and Wugang, they should be short of food and medicine now, you have quick wit, and you are also proficient in business, Ye Nan's kung fu is good, find a way to find us an identity." Su Qing planned to go to Quartz openly as a grain injury or a medicine merchant.

The two took advantage of the city tower to stand in the middle of the night, and quickly took control of a medium-sized grain store close to the East Water Gate, Mo was more pleasantly surprised to find that this grain merchant was also from Lingling, and the boss was surnamed Su, so Mo asked Ye Nan to look at the grain store, and quickly took Su Qing into the grain store and confirmed the identity, Su Qing is the eldest lady of the Su family, a grain merchant in Lingling, and he is the bookkeeper, and Ye Nan is a guard, the identity is fake, but the name is true, the Lingling Mo family is still remembered, and it is the most difficult to find out the suspicion of true and false.

After Su Qing took a hot bath and settled himself, Ye Nan came through the door and reported: "The night battle is over, Jin Qian has withdrawn, and Quartz lives in the military camp in the north of the city. ”

"Well, prepare my prayer post, and we'll meet Quartz tomorrow." Su Qing said softly, it was really tiring to soak in the water and perform the "water avoidance trick" this night.

Ye Nan retreated softly, and just happened to meet Mo Geng, who came over, and said softly: "Miss Qing has fallen asleep, let's prepare to pay a visit to Quartz tomorrow." ”

Mo Geng didn't force it after hearing the news that Su Qing was sleeping, and said with a smile: "You and I are both Lingling soldiers, and the county prince is simply drawn from the micro end, so it should be to serve the county prince." Then he pretended to be mysterious and said: "According to rumors in the army, Miss Su was originally the maid of the Zhong family's Sanniang, do you think she will be the future lady of the county princess?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Ye Nan looked at Mo Geng vigilantly, although Ye Nan was a martial artist but not a fool, Mo Geng's words were doubtful.

"It's nothing, I think the county duchess intends to turn Miss Qing into our lady of the Bai Ze army, and don't you think it's obvious that there are two forces in the army?" Mo did not give up his persuasion of Ye Nan.

Ye Nan's expression was a little moved, and Mo Geng continued: "Most of Ye Shuai's subordinates are mainly from the old Xuanwu Department and the Xinjian Water Division, and Zhuohou's subordinates are mainly from the Xianghu Old Department and the Shaonan Soldiers, and these two forces have gradually become clear. ”

"What does that have to do with Miss Qing?" Ye Nan asked.

"Zhong's, Miss Qing is Zhong Sanniang's maid, she was treated preferentially by the county princess, and Mrs. also intended to receive her into the county mansion.

"You mean it's going to be a third force?" Ye Nan was surprised.

"Yes, many officials and generals in the DPRK and China are from Suomun Island, and Mrs. is also from Suomon Island, although Mr. Cangshu is not favored by the lord of the country, but his strength should not be underestimated, Pinghai Gong has a great relationship with him, and Master Geng of the Middle Academy is a disciple of Mr. Cangshu, Zhong Sanniang is not here, so Miss Qing as the person left by Zhong Sanniang must be the object of wooing from all parties, and Miss Qing personally infiltrated Wugang this time, I think the county prince also intends to erect the banner of Miss Qing in the army." Mo is more analytical.

"No, do you mean that the county guild will let Miss Qing lead the army alone?" Ye Nan really couldn't imagine such a complicated thing.

"If Brother Ye doesn't believe it, you can wait for the arrangements of the county prince after the battle of Shaoling." Mo didn't intend to convince Ye Nan in a few words, but he was confident in his guess.

"What would you do if it turned out to be what you expected?" Ye Nan exhaled and said.

"If Miss Qing puts up a flag, I will serve!" Mo swears.

"Then wait for your guess to come true, and if you are right, be willing to go along." Ye Nan still hesitated.
