Chapter 19: Peace Charms
"Princess?"
Jiang Mian, who heard this, was almost shocked, he thought that Rong Xi's identity was fake, and it might not be like what she said at all, but Rong Xi actually said that she was the princess of Qi Kingdom.
You must know that King Cheng rebelled, and the monarch and the princess are now missing, but the girl in front of her actually said that she was the missing princess.
For a while, Jiang Mian didn't know what luck he had saved this person.
But after all, he is also the lord of a city, how can he trust others casually because of a few words?
After all, the truth of this statement has yet to be verified.
After that, Jiang Mian asked Rong Xi several questions, and Rong Xi answered them all fluently. But even so, Jiang Mian still had some doubts in his heart.
At that time, Rong Xi looked at Jiang Mian's suspicious face, she also had fear and regret, she was afraid that someone would find out that it was fake, and she regretted why she told such a big lie?
But now that the words have been spoken, as the saying goes, there is no turning back when you open the bow, since you have been deceived, Rong Xi plans to deceive Jiang Mian to the end.
Rong Xi thought to herself, anyway, not many people know what the princess looks like, and even if she wants to find evidence to prove it now, she will have to spend a lot of time investigating, and when the time comes, after her injuries heal in a few days, she will find a chance to run away.
Because Rong Xi is the princess's personal maidservant, she and Liu Zhi often accompany the princess together, so she knows basically everything, so she seems to be more comfortable when answering Jiang Mian's questions.
But when Jiang Mian asked why she was injured and fell on the road, Rong Xi didn't know how to answer for a while.
But maybe God really intended to help her, at this critical juncture, it really made her think of a logical and self-consistent reason.
She lied and told Jiang Mian that she was actually because there were Cheng Wang's pursuers behind her, and she knew that she might not be able to avoid the pursuers, so in order to survive, she dressed up like this, stabbed herself, jumped out of the carriage, and when the pursuers arrived, she naturally ignored her, which made her fortunate to meet Jiang Mian and save her.
But even if Rong Xi said this, Jiang Mian's expression was still a little hesitant.
In order to gain Jiang Mian's trust, Rong Xi did not hesitate to swear a poisonous oath.
"The sky is above, the loess is below, if I have half a lie, I will not die well after that."
Hearing that Rong Xi even dared to say this kind of poisonous oath, Jiang Mian's doubts instantly decreased a lot, after all, Jiang Mian was still very confident in karma because of his luck.
Jiang Mian thought at the time, if it weren't for the fact that he had never done anything wrong, he would not have met Brother Jiang Wan, although there has been no whereabouts of his brother all these years, he believes that he and Brother Jiang Wan will always meet one day.
Because of this conviction, coupled with the fact that what Rong Xi said can basically be matched, and the logic can be self-consistent, Jiang Mian temporarily believed her words.
But Jiang Mian still didn't think about how to settle Rong Xi, nor did he think about what to do in the future, but it was necessary to hide Rong Xi's whereabouts.
Therefore, Jiang Mian announced to the public that the girl he saved had suffered from banditry, and she was temporarily recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion, so that everyone would respect her.
Thinking back to the present, Jiang Mian looked at the people who were moved by Jiang Wan's story, and he couldn't help but doubt Jiang Wan's origin.
After all, bandits do not exist.
"Did Miss Jiang really meet bandits?"
Looking at Jiang Mian's suspicious face, Jiang Wan also felt that there might be some trouble now.
"Little sister, it seems that you are going to overturn this time, Jiang Mian seems to be a little disbelieving you?"
"Didn't I hear that Jiang Mian saved a girl and also met bandits, why didn't I say he believed it?"
"Little sister, I don't know! You better think about how to answer. "012 is also heartbroken for the little sister today.
Just as Jiang Wan was thinking about how to answer, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, it turned out that Rong Xi wanted to ask Jiang Mian about something, at this time Rong Xi was about to walk to the door, and from Jiang Mian's view, he could just see Rong Xi's appearance.
Jiang Mian thought that Jiang Wan had said that she was the palace maid in the palace, regardless of whether what Jiang Wan said was true or not, Rong Xi said that she was the princess Qi Yun, in case the two had met in the palace before, if the two of them were allowed to meet, they might cause a lot of trouble for themselves.
And what about Jiang Wan? She also heard the footsteps behind her, and she was about to take this opportunity to avoid Jiang Mian's question first, so she planned to turn back to see who it was, but to everyone's surprise, Jiang Mian grabbed Jiang Wan's shoulder, forcing Jiang Wan not to turn back.
Looking at Jiang Mian who was holding his shoulder, Jiang Wan felt that Jiang Mian was really strange, as if he didn't want to turn back. But why is that?
"Lord of the City, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing Jiang Wan's question, Jiang Mian felt extremely embarrassed for a while. But in order to prevent the two from meeting, he has no other way at present.
At the same time, after hearing Jiang Wan's question, Rong Xi felt that this voice was so familiar, why was it so similar to the voice of a princess? But the princess will never be here at this time.
She looked forward and saw Jiang Mian grabbing a girl's shoulder, and his expression seemed to be a little ...... when he saw him, it seemed that he had come at the wrong time.
So when Rong Xi arrived at the door, she stopped her steps, and she smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that there seems to be something to be done, since the city lord is busy, then I will leave first." ”
As soon as the words fell, Rong Xi left in a hurry.
At this time, Jiang Mian only felt that it was really good, Xin Hao and the two people didn't see it, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of what would happen, but looking at Rong Rong's appearance just now, she seemed to have misunderstood something?
Before Jiang Mian could think about it, he looked up and saw Jiang Wan's helpless eyes.
"If the city lord has nothing to do, why don't you let me go first?"
Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Mian and said.
This sound frightened Jiang Mian and immediately let go of the hand holding Jiang Wan.
After Jiang Wan was let go by Jiang Mian, he immediately turned his head to look at the door, but unfortunately he still didn't see the face of the person who came, only saw the back of the departed.
"012, Jiang Mian grabbed my shoulder just now, obviously not wanting me to see who is coming, do you know who is coming?"
"Little sister, I share the perspective with you! If you don't see it, I can't see it!
Besides, even if I see it, it's not a mission-related person, so I don't know who it is. Everything needs to be explored by the young lady herself. ”
"Okay."
After listening to 012's words, Jiang Wan had no choice but to stop thinking about 012.
It seems that 012 really doesn't play a role in reality.,But this is also the system I chose.,That's the only way.,Can you unbind it? Let's make do with it.
Thinking like this, Jiang Wan looked up at Jiang Mian again.
But at this time, Jiang Mian was attracted by the peace charm exposed on Jiang Wan's neck.
