Chapter 17: The Warrior Who Saves People
Qin Manjing walked on the streets of the capital, and at this time, the fireworks of Dongchen Kingdom were spread out in front of her.
Most of the vendors on both sides of the road have collected their stalls, and there are still a few stalls scattered on the side of the street. The merchant walking through the streets passed by Qin Manjing with a cage on his back.
A group of men in short shirts sat at a tea stall on the street and chatted.
"Have you heard, the lord of the Qin Mansion has a priceless ancient secret treasure in his hand."
"He said, whoever can save his son from the secret realm will belong to whoever the treasure is."
"Isn't it, in addition to that, there is a thousand taels of gold."
"I'm afraid that the baby won't get it, so I'll take it in first."
"What are you afraid of, it's still sad to have a life and no money, it's better to give it a go......"
Qin Manjing stood aside silently and listened silently, a little surprised in her heart. If you don't guess wrong, the old man of the Qin Mansion they are talking about is the Duke of Qin.
And Qin Guogong only had one son. Thinking of that person, Qin Manjing clenched her fists silently.
The majestic gates of the city......
A few swords-carrying guards stood on both sides, maintaining order in and out of the city.
At this hour, most of the people are carrying baskets and preparing to leave the city.
Qin Manjing was wrapped under a cloak and followed the crowd closely, wanting to blend out quietly.
"Hey, you stop."
A guard pointed in the direction of Qin Manjing and scolded her, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Take your hat off." He said in a commanding tone.
For a while, the surrounding people were attracted by this movement.
I saw a man wrapped in a dark gray cloak standing in the middle of the crowd, and even his face was tightly covered.
The sudden appearance of such a strangely dressed person among the plainly dressed people did look very suspicious.
After being troubled like this, the others also became curious about her identity, and they all wanted to see what kind of face she had under the cloak.
However, after a long while, Qin Manjing still didn't make any moves, and she didn't even raise her hand.
There was a stalemate for a long time, and the atmosphere at the city gate was a little tense.
Qin Manjing understood that the current situation was not good for her, but she didn't want to be seen under her cloak.
Not to mention that her current identity is sensitive, she belongs to the people who fled from the Qin family, so it is not suitable to show her face.
Not to mention that her life is different, and it is not a good thing to be exposed to people. She didn't want to have another storm because of her fate.
Qin Manjing needed a cloak to hide her past and identity.
Although it may not have much impact if they take a look at it for the time being.
But as the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Qin Manjing firmly believes that as long as there are enough witnesses, even if her identity is not exposed for a while, sooner or later someone will still be revealed.
The guard was so angry that he saw that she had refused to obey the order, and took two steps forward to lift her cloak.
But she didn't want to, Qin Manjing quickly raised her hand and clamped the guard's wrist, and her slender fingers were like eagle claws to forcefully restrain the man's movements.
The huge grip force made his wrists numb, and his whole arm couldn't move for a while. After perceiving this situation, the black-clothed guard's face changed instantly.
Qin Manjing remembered that she heard everyone talking about the secret realm by the tea stall, and secretly thought to herself that the secret realm should not be a secret thing.
So she let go of his hand lightly, and said, "I went out of the city just to enter the secret realm. ”
"Don't stop me, thank you." Qin Manjing bowed to him.
The expression on the guard's face was changeable.
He clearly understood that the thin woman in front of him could completely suppress his strength with a light movement.
This person is by no means human.
Thinking of the talented people recently recruited by His Majesty, he seemed to understand something.
"Please forgive the villain for not knowing Mount Tai with his eyes, and not seeing that the adult is a knight who went to the secret realm to save people." The guard changed his attitude in an instant, and the speed at which he changed his face was breathtaking.
Qin Manjing was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, but returned to normal in an instant. No matter what others guess about her purpose, as long as it doesn't affect the final result.
At this moment, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove in front of Qin Manjing.
The curtain was gently lifted by a pair of clean and slender hands, "This chivalrous warrior is also going to the secret realm, why don't you go with us?" ”
A handsome face with a face like a crown of jade and a dignified appearance appeared in front of Qin Manjing.
The man in the carriage extended an invitation to her.
Qin Manjing was silent for a long time, probably because of her years of captivity, she was a soldier to everything in the outside world.
It is difficult not to wonder if the stranger has other ulterior motives when he is kind to her.
At this time, on the carriage, another beautiful and radiant little girl poked her head out together.
She said to Qin Manjing with a smile on her face: "Sister, you are so powerful, why don't you join us." We're going to the secret realm too. ”
[Baili Jingyu's favorability +5, now the favorability is 30.]
After listening to her words, Qin Manjing guessed that they had already seen it in the carriage when she easily restrained the guard.
This is a plausible reason.
Qin Manjing thought for a moment and agreed to them.
After all, it will take a lot of time to walk from the city gate to the secret realm, and it can be faster by horse-drawn carriage.
In addition, she can also judge that the two people in front of her have no ill will towards her through her favorability.
After leaving the city gate, the carriage drove along the ruts.
Inside the lavishly decorated carriage, Qin Manjing sat on the seat covered with a thick plush blanket, and even her feet were soft.
Opposite her was the pair of delicate-looking teenagers and girls.
As soon as Qin Manjing got in the car, the woman chatted with her, so enthusiastic that she was a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Sister, what's your name?"
Qin Manjing's fingers moved slightly, and the face hidden under the cloak could not be seen, and she pondered for a moment before replying, "Liu Man." ”
Liu is her biological mother's last name.
"My name is Baili Jingyu, and this is my brother Baili Xuanjing." was introduced by his sister, and he just smiled and nodded to Qin Manjing.
But Qin Manjing can see that this pair of brothers and sisters have a good relationship.
"Sister Manman, what you did just now was so powerful. The man was restrained at once, and he didn't even have the strength to resist. ”
"How do you practice, can you teach me? My strength has always been very small. ”
"Sister Manman, why do you keep wearing a cloak?"
"You look very thin, don't you look cold?"
"Who did Sister Manman learn from? Can I also join the teacher's door? I also wanted to learn martial arts, but I really didn't have any talent. ”
"Sister Manman......"
Baili Jingyu didn't wait for Qin Manjing's response at all, and kept talking to herself.
Qin Manjing suddenly regretted it.
She doesn't seem to have heard as much in the past seven years as anyone she has heard in a day today. She rubbed her ears in a less obvious motion.
"Jingyu, be quiet." Baili Xuanjing seemed to be keenly aware of Qin Manjing's discomfort, and opened his mouth to stop Baili Jingyu's endless self-talk.
He looked at his sister helplessly and rubbed her little furry head.
After Baili Jingyu heard it, she looked at her brother angrily, "You think I talk a lot, and I don't talk to you when I talk to Sister Manman." Sister Manman doesn't think I talk much. ”
Qin Manjing's face showed a slightly embarrassed look, but fortunately it was firmly hidden by the cloak.
Baili Xuanjing didn't seem to want to break her beautiful illusions, but said to her a little funny: "I think you talk too much, can't you be quiet?" ”
Baili Jingyu glanced at her brother, twisted her head in the opposite direction, and snorted heavily.
Baili Xuanjing's face was full of helplessness.
"Miss Liu Man, Jing Yu is not sensible, please don't worry about her." The expression on his face was kind, and he apologized to Qin Manjing very gently.
Qin Manjing realized that the action he had just rubbed his ears had been noticed by Baili Xuanjing, so he apologized for his sister.
also didn't want to be misunderstood by them, so Qin Manjing deliberately explained.
"I'm just used to being alone all year round, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
"What's more, Sister Jingyu is really lively and very cute, how can I care about her."
Actually, she quite likes Baili Jingyu. Although her words were a bit much, Qin Manjing could clearly perceive her pure and honest nature, which were things she had never had.
And just as she was thinking, the carriage came to an abrupt halt.
The coachman respectfully replied to the door curtain and said, "Your Highness, the secret realm has arrived. ”
