Chapter 14 Fourteenth Rosemary

The water stains on the tiles converged into lines along the grooves, and then condensed into beads on the edge of the eaves, sliding down one by one. After being washed by the heavy rain, the streets looked extraordinarily wet and clean. Some shops that had been closed before reopened for business one after another, and pedestrians gradually increased. Jiang Chenyu put away her umbrella and walked into the market. This market located in the northeast corner of Luwan is a famous business district. Merchants from the four countries opened up a scene of prosperity here. In addition to the Huabin Street belonging to Heyi, there are three other north-south streets. The parallel streets are heading towards, and the eastmost one is Yunxiang.

Compared with Huabin, which is full of department stores, Yunxiang is famous for its elegant and expensive, and the goods sold are mostly antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and medicines.Therefore, although it looks the most deserted among the four streets, it is full of fragrant cars and BMWs, and the merchants are all dressed in bright clothes. "The Cai's shop on Yunxiang Street buys three catties of rosemary." These are the words in the secret letter her father gave her. In other words, the Cai's shop located on this street is a hidden chess piece that Jiang Zhongan planted in Cheng Guo.Looking at the market in front of him, Jiang Chenyu couldn't help admiring his father's sophistication and consideration in espionage.As we all know, the big hermit hides in the city, and the place with the most people is often the place with the best information. Therefore, when setting up an intelligence collection point, it is usually placed in the market.However, everyone has overlooked a big point - folk news is often the most inaccurate news.

Just like the so-called gossip, three people become tigers. After an incident spreads through the mouths of most people, it will definitely be embellished and even go against its original intention. Therefore, the news received by teahouses and restaurants is too messy and delayed too much in time .The Cai's shop is different, it is expensive, it is specially opened for the rich and powerful, and it sells the indispensable face powder, rouge, jewelry and jewelry for the noble women's family members.This group of people who like to talk about right and wrong the most, and who are closely connected with the parties but stay out of it, will bring it the safest and most reliable source of information supplementation.And the most important point is—this kind of place is her—a place where the envoys from Bi Kingdom will not arouse suspicion even if they go there.

Jiang Chenyu walked towards Cai's shop ten feet away. The door of the shop was wide open, and a shopkeeper-like man was chatting with an old lady at the counter, which was more than half a person high.The old woman was still holding a baby in her hand, and the baby was crying loudly, and the old woman shook and coaxed it quickly.In front of the shelf on the other side, two guys were entertaining a lady to look at the jewelry. The lady took out the bracelets from the box one by one, put them on her wrists, then shook her head, put them back, and put on another bracelet. . Jiang Chenyu got closer and closer, the patterns on those bracelets could be clearly seen, there were still ten steps, nine steps, eight steps...

The noble lady picked up a pair of green and white jade bracelets and slowly slipped them on. The clear jade made her wrists more slender and soft. There are still seven steps, six steps, five steps... While coaxing the child, the old woman turned her head to the shopkeeper and said, "For some reason, my grandson has been crying non-stop for the past two days." The shopkeeper comforted me: "Children, cry and cry..." Four steps away. The clerk said: "Madam, just buy this pair of bracelets, these bracelets are cheap..." There are still three steps left. Seeing that the shop door was close at hand, Jiang Chenyu suddenly turned sideways and walked into the shop next door.

Immediately, a store clerk came forward to greet her: "Miss, are you buying a piano? This way please—" Beside Cai's shop is a piano shop. Jiang Chenyu walked up to a Leiwoqin, groaning silently.The clerk hurriedly said: "Miss, you have good eyesight. This violin is the treasure of our violin shop. It is the masterpiece of a generation of violin makers Lei Wen. Look at its body, it is made of the best paulownia... " His words lingered in his ears, and blurred into the background, but what floated vividly in front of the background was—something is wrong, something is wrong with Cai's shop!

As a grandmother, I don't know that my grandson lost one of his shoes; As a lady, she has calloused hands; Being a guy with absolutely no sales skills... Everything is wrong. These illogical details hinted at some kind of omen, so at the last moment, she was forced to make a temporary U-turn and walked into another shop. "I'm not boasting. Even if the tone of this piano is not unique in the world, it can still be ranked among the top three..." The clerk of the piano shop was still talking. Jiang Chenyu turned her head abruptly and said, "I want to try the piano."

The guy was stunned, and quickly responded: "Okay, no problem, please sit over there, girl." Jiang Chenyu sat down in front of a jade table. From her angle, she could just see the situation across the street: outside a few calligraphy and painting shops, there was a sugar peddler; a few steps away, there were two lazy The beggar leaning against the wall basking in the sun complacently. She became more and more sure of her inference. Who on this street would buy that cheap sugar figurine?How can beggars be allowed to bask in the sun here?What's more, the heavy rain has just stopped, and there is still water on the ground. The beggar is just poor, not an idiot. How could he sit down so carelessly regardless of the humidity?

From all the above, there is only one conclusion - something happened to Cai's shop. Therefore, the original stronghold has now become a trap.So, does the other party want to capture only her, or all the enemy's spies lurking in Cheng country? No matter what it was, as soon as he stepped through the door just now, he would definitely be captured.As for whether the wrong person was arrested, it will be judged after torture. The thought of this possibility sent a chill down her spine. At this time, the store clerk brought the piano, put the piano on several tables, and said courteously: "The strings have been oiled and adjusted. Girls, please feel free to try it."

Jiang Chenyu thought for a while, then raised his hand, and the melodious sound of music immediately played, it was "Huolin": Linxi Linxi, benevolent and righteous, there is no time. Walking and walking are in the middle of the rules, turning and turning are in the middle of the rules, and the sound is also Zhonglu. Wherever you go, you must choose carefully, and then everywhere, if you don't trample on grass and insects, you won't walk on it. Do not live in groups, do not act together. Don't fall into the trap, restore the net and have nothing to catch. Linxi has one horn and five hooves, which is very hopeful at the time, and the air clock is two appearances.There is no time for this to come out, and it is strange to eat iron to produce gold...

The sound of the qin is elegant and low-key, the Hui Palace alternates, diffuses and interweaves, the sorrow and anger are like sonorous waves, and the desolation is like a sigh. According to legend, when Duke Ai of Lu, someone captured a unicorn, but injured it.Confucius felt very sad when he saw it, and couldn't help but wet his clothes with tears. This song is divided into six sections, Jiang Chenyu only played the first section "Injured Linxi", but it has already attracted the attention of the shop assistants and the passers-by.When she stopped, a burst of applause came from the back hall. Turning the head, there are many brocade curtains, but there is no one behind the curtain. The applause stopped, and a young servant raised the curtain and came out. He was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face, and he smiled even if he didn't smile. He looked like a clay doll, very lovable. He walked quickly to the front of the case and stopped and said: "My son said that the girl plays the piano really well, what is that towering like Huashan..." Someone coughed behind the curtain, and another voice screamed: "Tarzan! It's Taizan! Pig's head!" The boy quickly changed his words: "Oh yes, it's E'e like Mount Tai, and that Yang is like... Ruo... Ruo..." The shrill voice shouted again: "Jiang He!" "Oh yes, it's as buoyant as a river. In short, it's so good that there is nothing in the sky. Therefore, in order to thank the girl for this piano, my young master asks the girl to accept this piano!" Jiang Chenyu was stunned, staring at the heavy curtain again, and asked: "Who is your son?" "This... girl just accept it, you don't need to keep your name." The boy said to the shop assistant, "Wrap up this piano, and then send someone to this girl to deliver to her home." Jiang Chenyu got up quickly and said: "Wait a minute, we meet by chance, I dare not accept such an expensive gift." Such a violin would cost at least a thousand taels of silver, without knowing the identity of the giver, how could she accept it indiscriminately? But the boy still shook his head and said: "My son said that he gave you the piano just to thank you for the piece you played just now, and only a girl with such good piano skills is worthy of this piano." .” Jiang Chenyu was still waiting to refuse, when there was a sound from behind the curtain, the footsteps went away, it seemed that the other party turned and left. The little servant grinned and said, "My son is gone, and I'm leaving too. Girl, don't say no. Even though we met by chance, we will see each other by chance. Farewell." After finishing speaking, he turned around and jumped He jumped and ran away. Jiang Chenyu saw a carriage with a dark green roof quickly turned the corner of the street and disappeared into the distance. The shop clerk at the side said: "Then I will help the girl wrap up the piano. I don't know where the girl's residence is? I can send someone to deliver the piano." Jiang Chenyu asked: "Do you know who the person who sent the piano is?" "I only know that he is a rich man who came a little earlier than the girl and was watching the piano in the back hall. I didn't expect that he didn't buy anything himself, but bought a piano for the girl." The shop assistant said, smiling ambiguously, "However, The girl's piano skills are indeed amazing, and it's a good story that the young master gave the piano to thank his bosom friend." Jiang Chenyu was speechless for a moment.When she played the music, she wanted to test the reaction of the neighbors, to see whether her father's dark moves had been caught in one catch, or if there were fish that slipped through the net. Maybe after hearing the sound of the piano, they would guess that she had arrived, and try to send a message. .Now, instead of trying to find out what's going on next door, she put away the violin for no reason, really deliberately planting flowers that won't bloom, but unintentionally planting willows and willows to make them shade. Looking at the still quiet Cai's shop, it seems that there is nothing to test today, and she can't stay too long, lest she reveal her identity.Immediately told the store clerk the address of the station, and then walked back to the station by himself. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the post station, he saw the carriage with a dark green roof in the front yard. She hurriedly asked, "Whose carriage is this?" Li Qing who was on the side replied: "Oh, the girl has been out for two days, so I don't know, this is the carriage of the envoy of Yan State." "The envoy of Yan has arrived? Who is it?" "It's unbelievable, but King Yan actually came in person." Jiang Chenyu paused and said in surprise, "What? King Yan?" "That's right, no one thought that now, King Cheng has given enough face, and King Yi and King Yan are here together..." Li Qing sighed. Jiang Chenyu stared at the seemingly ordinary carriage, but felt an unspeakable throbbing in his heart——Among the current monarchs of the Four Kingdoms, Zhao Yin was the youngest and had the shortest time on the throne. He was a fledgling, subject subject, and this year he suddenly eradicated the Xue family and took power in person. Then he turned into a persevering, stubborn, and deep city mansion; King Yi has the best reputation, enlightened and close to the people, humorous and elegant, and has been in power for six years. Minggong is the oldest, taciturn and shameless in his prime, and it is common for him to contradict his promise, and he is fond of war and meritorious deeds, which is despised by other countries, but the people of Cheng State treat him with respect. A deep-rooted and even blind and crazy worship, in short, he is a very complicated monarch... However, when it comes to the one who truly possesses the style of an emperor, it is the King of Yan——Zhanghua. Zhanghua's life went smoothly, he was born of the orthodox mother of the country, he was crowned prince as soon as he was born, and he grew up to the age of seventeen without any danger. The throne passed to the only son.And Yan Guo also had a loyal and good prime minister, who assisted him until he was twenty years old. After he was mature in everything, there were no internal hidden dangers, and no external worries, he resigned from office and retired, and traveled around the world.And Zhang Hua himself, as he himself said: "Only He Yi, Hao Hao Shuo Shuo, He Yi Zhang Zhuo, if the sun shines brightly, can be compared with me." The Yan State under his rule has a strong army, a rich country and a strong people, and its comprehensive strength is the first among the four countries. He has been in power for six years.Follow goodness like a stream, benefit the world and the people, and have made outstanding achievements. To say how prestigious he is, there is one thing that can prove—— The death penalty in Yan State can only be executed after three repeated examinations and approvals.In the fourth year of Huazhen, a total of forty-nine people were sentenced to death across the country.Just in time for the new year, Zhanghua ordered all the forty-nine people to go home for a reunion for the new year, and return for the next year's autumn harvest to resume their punishment. As a result, all the forty-nine people returned on time, and none of them escaped. When this matter spread to the other three countries, the world was shocked. Zhao Yin immediately sent Xue Cai to the country of Yan in the next year, and thus deduced a good story about Zhang Hua gifting him with the peerless beautiful jade "Bingli". Now, this most prestigious emperor has come to Cheng country?And, just now, he gave her a piano? No matter how calm and calm Jiang Chenyu was, his heart still jumped up uncontrollably, and when he spoke again, his voice was obviously tight: "Where is King Yan now?" "King Yan also lives here, but just now, someone from the palace invited him away." As soon as the voice fell, a person jumped out of the room and shouted with a bit of tears: "What's the matter, I just squinted my eyes, and then they all left me again? I..." Shouted halfway , looked up and saw Jiang Chenyu, startled, "Huh? That... girl who plays the piano?" This person is none other than the servant who gave her the piano just now. Jiang Chenyu also stared at him blankly, feeling that his lips parted, as if he had said something again, but his voice suddenly became blurred, and his person also changed from one halo to several, the sky and the earth began to rotate, and his sight began to diverge. black.She only had time to say the word "I" before she passed out. It was dark. It was as if the body was being burned by a raging fire, and the bones and limbs were aching unspeakably. It was clearly dark, but some fragmented voices could be vaguely heard: "The third daughter of Jiang Zhong from Zier's right minister's mansion, from the Qingchenghua family, a female teacher with a crown of ceremony... She ordered you to be Concubine Shu, and entered the palace at the right time..." "When Chen Yu was young, he was afraid of pain the most... Now, I ask you to pierce my ears for me, and treat it as a congratulatory gift from Chen Yu..." "I want you to go to Cheng Guo with Pan Fang, Wan Yi and the others..." "Don't think I'll forgive you for acting like a baby..." "Yu Shi, join hands with me." "I am the emperor..." So many and so many voices, intertwined, messy, repetitive, and endless, entangled her heavily like a rope, and then slowly tightened, it was so painful that she couldn't speak, or even unable to speak. breathe. "Miss of the Jiang family?" A voice as warm as water and as light as the wind called out. "It's getting late, baby, let's take Miss back home." "Miss invited Ying to come here, it must be because of some business, since it's something, it doesn't matter who made the appointment?" "It's the baby's abruptness, and he sent a message in a hurry, hoping that the young lady's business will not be disturbed." "Miss……" "Miss……" "Miss……" No, no, she doesn't want to listen anymore, don't shout anymore... "Yu Shi..." "Little Yu..." Two other voices came in, Jiang Chenyu struggled desperately, then shuddered violently, and opened her eyes.His line of sight was still black at first, and then slowly burst into light. When he came into view, he saw a face with delicate features and compassion, which was familiar and warm.So, a certain title was naturally called out: "Senior Brother..." Jiang Wanyi smiled at her, her voice was as warm as the sun: "Ayu, are you awake?" "Brother, what's wrong with me?" "You are sick. But don't be afraid, you will be well soon." His brows and eyes are so gentle, and his smile is so calm, as if as long as he is around, he doesn't need to fear any pain.So, after Jiang Chenyu got the guarantee, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again, and this time, the nightmare disappeared. When she woke up again, the sun was shining brightly, Jiang Wanyi was no longer in front of the bed, only Huaijin happily put down the box in her hand, leaned over and said, "Miss, are you awake? Do you feel better?" Jiang Chen Yu hugged and sat up slowly: "My head still hurts." "Miss's fever has just subsided, and her head is still a little heavy. Master Hou has prescribed a prescription, and it is cooking now. It will be fine in a while." Huai Jin took a pillow and put it behind her waist. "Where's brother?" "Miss has been ill for three days. Master Hou has been taking care of Miss these days, and he hasn't had a good rest. Just now, someone from the palace called him away." Jiang Chenyu felt apologetic in her heart, she really caused trouble again.He clearly knew that it was not easy for everyone to have a heavy responsibility, especially Jiang Wanyi was the hardest working as a doctor, but he fell ill at such a time and added to his troubles.At that time, jumping into the lake was only for the sake of having fun for a while, but now it hurts myself and drags others down. Huai Jin saw that she was in a bad mood, so she guessed a little bit, and quickly changed the subject: "However, the young lady is very face-saving. I heard that you are sick, and the presents are just like the food for the opening of the warehouse. " Jiang Chenyu looked up, and sure enough, he saw that the tables, chairs and corners outside were piled with gift boxes. Huai Jin laughed and said, "Of course His Majesty Yi Wang sent the most gifts. Lord Hou said that what he gave alone was enough to open a small medicine shop. And the three princes of Cheng Guo also sent precious supplements. However, The strangest thing is that King Yan also gave a gift, but his gift is different from others, Miss, take a look?" He said, took one of the small boxes, and opened it for her to see. There are several sheets of paper in the box.Jiang Chenyu picked it up and flipped through it. It turned out to be a music score. On the first sheet of paper was written the three characters "Pu'an Mantra", and wrote a line of small characters: Medicine can heal the body, and music can heal the heart.Clear inside and out, pure and flawless. The font is crooked, it seems to be written by a beginner, and the ink is still fresh. It looks like it was written not long ago. The word "Xin" is embossed a bit, and the word "感" is also written wrongly, and it is written as "year". Jiang Chenyu couldn't help but smile: "Is it sent by King Yan's servant?" "It was the one who talked to Miss when she fell ill that day. His name is Ruyi. There are two little father-in-laws beside King Yan, one is him, and the other is called Jixiang." Needless to say, the characters on this score must have been written by the ignorant Ruyi.This king of Yan is interesting, he didn't show up when he sent the piano and the music, he just asked a living treasure to come out to embarrass people, I really don't know if it was intentional or too conniving. After laughing, Jiang Chenyu looked at the boxes all over the room and said, "Who else gave it to you?" "There are all kinds of miscellaneous things, there are officials from Cheng Guo, and there are envoys who came with us..." "Have you ever opened and accepted each one?" Huai Jin took a booklet and presented it to her: "I recorded the gift list and the name of the giver." Jiang Chenyu couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. The reason why she chose to take Huaijin instead of holding Yu at the beginning was because Huaijin was prudent and careful in doing things, and many things would be done consciously without her ordering.She took the booklet and slowly flipped through it, her eyes flicked over the lines of names, and she pondered in her heart. She was not surprised that King Yi gave a gift, and she was not surprised that Yifei gave a gift, but Han Qi's gift was a bit far-fetched. He was just an envoy of Cheng Guo, and even if he had some status, it would not be so important that everyone gave gifts one after another. the point?Why did Han Qi give her medicine?Is it because she followed him at the pier that day instead of Yi Fei?Can't figure it out. As for Linsu, it is even more far-fetched. If you say that you and Han Qi still have a little relationship, but you have nothing to do with the eldest prince, why does he give gifts? In addition, there are some Cheng Guo officials, they are seeing your majesty, they are all sent, so follow suit?Or is there another reason? Jiang Chenyu was thinking while browsing, his eyes suddenly froze on a certain name. She was silent for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Did senior brother tell me when my illness will recover?" "Ah, Master Hou only said that he wanted Miss to rest well, but didn't say much. Is there anything else wrong with Miss?" "En." Chen Yu nodded. Huai Jin was stunned: "Huh?" However, the young lady seemed to be looking better... "I won't recover from this illness in ten days and a half months. If there are any more gifts, just accept them." Jiang Chenyu looked at the brochure and said casually, "Princess Cheng Guo also gave gifts. ..." Huai Jin covered her lips and smiled: "Miss, you don't know?" "what do you know?" "Princess Yishu's gift was delivered by herself. Not only that, she is here now, talking to General Pan in the back garden right now." Jiang Chenyu's eyelashes trembled. She wasn't surprised that Yishu would be moved after hearing Pan Fang's story, but she didn't expect the princess to come so quickly and directly. In the back garden separated by several walls, Yi Shu and Pan Fang were standing under the magnolia tree, talking softly. "I heard that I look like the general's dead wife?" Facts have proved that Yishu was more straightforward than Jiang Chenyu thought, and when she asked this question, there was no twitching expression on her generous face, and the magnolia flower was behind her Blooming, it sets off her more brightly and movingly. Pan Fang stared at her, his eyes gradually darkened. Yi Shu smiled sweetly: "So, at the dinner that day, did the general cry in public?" Pan Fang stared at her for a long time, Fang slowly said: "Ah Qin's father and my father are comrades-in-arms, she lost her mother when she was young, and her father didn't discipline her very much. water, play and fight, just like boys." Yishu stopped laughing and listened carefully. "As a result, her skin was tanned, and there was a small scar behind her left ear that was scratched by a stone, and her hair no longer grew there." Yishu subconsciously reached out and touched the back of his ear. "There is a small mole under her left eye. We often teased her as a crying mole when she was a child, but in my impression, she never cried. Even if Uncle Qin died in battle, even if I had to join the army at the age of thirteen Separated from her, even if her ex-husband died of illness, she never shed a single tear." Yishu showed an apologetic look, and seemed to realize how inappropriate it is to compare with a dead person, especially a dead person whom the other party loves deeply, and immediately said nonuo: "I'm sorry, I'm so rude." Pan Fang's face was still emotionless, only deep, a kind of deep color that no one could understand clearly, and his words were still very peaceful: "I told the princess this, not to prove that you two have How unlike." Yishu looked up in surprise. Pan Fang looked at her, and continued: "The truth is, the moment I saw the princess, I was very happy." "Happy?" "Yeah." Pan Fang withdrew his gaze, turned to the magnolia tree beside him, that emotionless and deep smile gradually faded into a windy smile, "Because, although Ah Qin has gone, there are still some things in the world— —Some beautiful things remind me of her, when I look at those, it seems that she is still in this world, she has not left, nor has she been forgotten, so I am very happy. So, thank you, princess. " Yishu's expression changed again and again, and finally, he turned his head and said loudly, "Come here, get my gun." Immediately, a guard carried a snow-white long spear with only a little red cherry on the tip. It was extremely dazzling and beautiful. The spear was as tall as two people. , danced a beautiful gun flower, vertically beside her, the whole set of movements was smooth and neat. ——Jiang Chenyu walked to the back garden accompanied by Huai Jin, and this was what he saw. Just listen to Yi Shu said: "Our country has always respected martial arts. I have heard for a long time that the generals are excellent in martial arts. They are good at using long spears. At the age of sixteen, they defeated Yan Huai, the general of Yi country. At the age of nineteen, they were named General Qingche. Now they have defeated the number one in the four countries. The famous general Xue Huai. Therefore, I am not talented, and I want to ask the general for some advice." Pan Fang's lips moved as if he wanted to decline, and Yi Shu said again: "The general is also a warrior, you should respect me with the way of martial arts, and don't say things like those who dare not offend a rich man." Pan Fang was silent again. Jiang Chenyu stood aside, tugging on his coat, and couldn't tell the difference between joy and sorrow.Yishu challenges Pan Fang, wins her, Cheng Guo's face is not good, loses, I am afraid that this proud princess will no longer take Pan Fang seriously, but it is not easy to win or lose .Pan Fang's martial arts is certainly good, but I heard that Yishu is not weak, even Han Qi may not be the younger sister's opponent.This battle... I don't know if it's a disaster or a blessing... At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "I bet on the princess to win!" Jiang Chenyu turned his head and saw two teenagers coming from a distance, they looked exactly the same, one was dressed in blue and the other in red, one of them was Ruyi, and the other was auspicious. When the teenagers saw her, the one in blue smiled sweetly: "Miss Yu, are you better? Can you come out and walk around? You fainted that day, which scared me." Jiang Chenyu bowed to thank him: "My concubine lost her composure and surprised my father-in-law. By the way, thank you for His Majesty King Yan's score, let me be better, and thank you personally." Ruyi in blue waved her hand quickly: "No need, the young master said that giving the girl the piano and music is just to send those things to the most suitable owner. If you really want to thank, thank God, for giving the girl a good life." Such a bell, a bell... what kind of show is that?" Ji Xiang in red showed shame on his face, and said bitterly: "Zhong Lingyuxiu, idiot! If you don't know how to say it, don't say it. If you have to use a four-character idiom, do you understand what Tibetan clumsy is?" "You care about me? I just like to say idioms! Even the Holy Majesty didn't care about me..." "He's totally desperate for you, okay?" The two started to quarrel while talking, which made Pan Fang and Yi Shu who were on the side very embarrassed. What was originally an exciting and tense scene was messed up and the atmosphere was completely lost. Yishu had no choice but to cough, then raised his spear and said, "I hope the general will succeed." Pan Fang pondered for a while, and said: "Swords have no eyes, princess be careful. If you offend, please Haihan." Yishu was overjoyed, knowing that he agreed, he quickly called his followers to fetch his gun as well.With the two guns confronting each other like this, the chilling intention disappeared instantly, and even Ji Xiang Ruyi stopped bickering and both turned their heads. Ruyi stepped forward and lightly tugged on Jiang Chenyu's sleeve and said, "Miss Yu, let's stand back and be careful not to get hurt." Jiang Chenyu didn't expect him to be so intentional, her heart warmed, and she quickly retreated, and the other guards also retreated one after another, leaving enough space for the two to compete. Yi Shu said, "I've offended you", and the red tassels jumped up like a snake, stabbing straight at Pan Fang's heart. Jiang Chenyu doesn't know martial arts, so he only felt a blur in front of his eyes, the red gun body with white tassels and the crimson clothes Yishu was wearing formed three colored lines, surrounding Pan Fang layer by layer, gradually devouring him. Beside her, Ruyi commented grandly: "Well, Princess Cheng's marksmanship is really good. This trick of the spirit snake coming out of the hole is obviously passed down by Prince Cheng himself. It is very hot... Ah, this shot is too dangerous! Although Cheng Wang's marksmanship is known for its quickness. It is fundamental to attack the unprepared and seize the opportunity, but when the two armies confront each other, the timing is the most critical. Such a blind attack is reckless... Look, dodge it? Ah, compared to the princess's speed , General Pan is really slow, but it is indeed a good strategy to stop still at this time..." Jiang Chenyu asked in surprise: "Little eunuch knows martial arts?" Before Ruyi could answer, Jixiang sneered and said, "He really knows martial arts, but unfortunately he only has the part to watch and talk about. It's absolutely useless for him to do it himself." Ruyi blushed, and snorted, "So what? I'm proud and expensive, so I still need to do it myself? What's more, diners only need to know how to eat, there is no need to cook by themselves... ...Ah! General Pan is in danger!" Amidst his dangerous sound, Yishu's long spear was nimble, stabbing at Pan Fang's eyes at an unmatched speed, and Pan Fang was in the air, there was no way to avoid it, there was no way to escape, and he was about to be stabbed in the eyes, but in the At the last moment, he slid away, only to hear a soft sound, and the tip of the gun pierced into his left arm. At the same time, his body fell to the ground and he took three steps back. Jiang Chenyu's heart tightened - lost! The two people in the arena did not move, and there was silence outside the arena. Ruyi opened her eyes wide, revealing an unbelievable look. And Yishu kept stabbing. After a while, he shook his arm and retracted the spear. However, the body of the spear and the tip of the spear were disconnected, and the tip of the spear was still stuck on Pan Fang's arm. She looked at her broken gun, as if in a daze, finally raised her head, stared at Pan Fang, and didn't speak for a while. Pan Fang smiled lightly: "I lost." The expression on Yishu's face changed again and again, looking very weird, and finally lowered his head and said slowly: "Chengrang..." After a pause, he added, "Thank you." After a pause, he seemed to remember something, raised his head and said, "Your injury..." Pan Fang said disapprovingly, "Wanyi will deal with it when he returns." Yishu nodded, and threw the gun to the guard beside him: "Let's go." He walked cleanly like that. As soon as she left, Jiang Chenyu quickly ran over and said, "General, your injury..." Pan Fang held down her hand, silently shook his head, a strange look flashed across his eyes.Jiang Chenyu understood, and said softly: "No matter what, let's go back to the room to stop the bleeding." He immediately sent someone to help him back to the room. When she arrived in the room, she saw no one else, she took the medicine box herself, and was thinking about how to pull out the gun head, when Pan Fang's arm muscles suddenly swelled, and then the gun head was pushed out of the wound naturally. It came out and slammed onto the table. Jiang Chenyu quickly bandaged him to stop the bleeding, and asked, "Did you lose to her on purpose?" Pan Fang gave a faint "hmm". "why?" Pan Fang's eyes fell on the tip of the gun. Jiang Chenyu picked up the tip of the gun and observed it carefully. Pan Fang explained: "Cheng Guo's iron smelting and forging is the crown of the four countries, and the gun used by Yishu is even more exquisite." At first it was just an ordinary gun at a distance, but now that I hold it in my hand, I know there is another mystery.Not counting the sharpness of the gun tip, there are seven barbs hidden inside, and there is also a bloodletting groove.It is so delicate, but it is so light that it is almost weightless when held in the hand, which is really amazing. Jiang Chenyu said: "So you deliberately lost and took a shot from her in order to keep the head of the gun?" Pan Fang shook his head.Seeing that she was puzzled, he explained: "I left the tip of the gun on purpose, but being shot by her is a last resort." "what?" "Because I want to save her." "What? The reason why Pan Fang lost was because he wanted to save Yishu?" At the same time, in another room of the same station, the same conclusion came from different mouths. In the simple but extremely comfortable room, the man in purple smiled slightly: "That's right, it's just to save people." Ruyi curled her lips: "How is it possible? I clearly saw him in the air and there was no way to hide..." "Before that, did Yishu make a move of 'Flying Dragon Returning to the Sea', and Pan Fang blocked it with his gun, and took advantage of the momentum to fly up?" Ruyi was shocked: "Your Majesty, aren't you there? How do you know!" Ji Xiang doggedly said: "Hey, is there anything in the world today that the Holy Majesty doesn't know about?" The man in purple just smiled: "Pan Fang is in the air, unable to support himself, and his whole body is wide open. This is a great opportunity, but you must know that not everyone can shoot Yishu's gun so easily, especially the one who is so delicate. If you want to perform that move, you must use at least 80% of your internal strength, and you must hit the thorn, otherwise your internal force will turn back. Yishu used that move, thinking that victory was in sight, but it was unexpectedly defeated by Pan Fang. She blocked it easily. But when she saw Pan Fang flying up, she was reluctant to miss such a good opportunity, so she rushed forward, so she didn't care about the backlash of her internal strength, and she shot halfway. If there was nowhere to focus, her life would be in danger. Injured, he held the gun with his arm, which is why the head of the gun broke off immediately." Ruyi scratched her head and said, "Is that so..." Ji Xiang slapped him on the head hard: "What do you mean? You dare to question what the Holy Majesty said, it's getting more and more unruly!" The man in purple laughed and said, "You have been with me for almost two years, and you have failed in literature and martial arts, so you should reflect on yourself." Ruyi lowered her head and said, "It's only been two years, but it's too strict to expect me to improve by leaps and bounds. I'm not Xue Cai from Bi Kingdom... Ouch!" . The smile on the face of the man in purple disappeared, he stared at the sky outside the window, and said sadly: "Xue Cai..." In the sky, the sunset is like a brocade, but it is so far away from the mundane world, unreachable. Under the distant sunset, Jiang Chenyu said: "The princess is also very clear in her heart, it was you who saved her, that's why the last expression is so strange?" Pan Fang said "Yes", "However, there is one more thing I don't know." "Please tell me, General." Pan Fang pointed to the tip of the gun and said: "It goes without saying that this gun is exquisitely crafted, but its material is made of high-quality eight-color rare iron. Although it is light, it is extremely rigid. In the territory, as far as I know, there is no birthplace." "You mean, they bought this iron from another country?" Pan Fang nodded: "Cheng Guoguo's small land is barren and there are not many mines, but they have the most powerful weapons in the world, and the quantity and quality are far inferior to those of other countries. Why is this? Who sold the iron to them? them?" The first answer Jiang Chenyu thought of was: "King Yi?" Pan Fang shook his head: "Yiguo doesn't have this kind of iron either." Jiang Chenyu raised her eyebrows. Pan's expression was very solemn, and he lowered his voice, "This kind of iron is only found in Juan'er Mountain in Hongye Township in Bi Country. Because the quantity is rare and precious, it is a tribute iron, and private trading is prohibited." Jiang Chenyu's heart sank, and she finally realized the seriousness of the situation - the tribute iron from Bi Kingdom became Princess Cheng's weapon, was it a gift?Or buy and sell?And who has the right to gift and buy and sell? The mere tip of a gun suddenly became as heavy as a thousand catties.In this transaction, is it only the iron that is private, or... the country? "Miss, the Midie you asked me to pay attention to has brought medicinal materials again today." In the dormitory, Huai Jin walked to Jiang Chenyu holding another new gift list. Jiang Chenyu took the gift list. Yesterday when she saw the signature of "Mi Die" on the gift list, she felt a little strange, so she asked Huai Jin to accept all the gifts from anyone, and sure enough, as expected, that person brought medicinal materials today.如此一来，对方在三天里陆陆续续赠送了二十九种药材。 二十九啊……想来想去，唯一能和这个数字扯上关系的，便只有程王的寿诞——六月廿九了。 姜沉鱼将几张礼单放在一起，对比着看，那二十九种药都不是什么名贵之物，多为清热消炎舒筋壮骨所用，但是，如果将其中的一些去尾藏头，则会变成—— 菊（据）莴、一点（点）红、泽泻（泄）、鹿（露）角霜、兜铃（麟）、素（素）馨花、锁（所）阳、五味（为）子、金（谨）荞麦、防（防）风、忍冬（东）、厚（侯）朴、托盘（盼）根、鱼（鱼）腥草、熟（速）地、当归（归）。 “据点泄露，麟素所为。谨防东侯，盼鱼速归。” 姜沉鱼的手颤了一下，其中一张纸从指尖滑脱，飘啊飘地落到了地上。她的目光停留在足前的那页纸上，久久不言。 如果说，埋伏在蔡家铺子里的竟然会是麟素的手下，已经够令人惊讶，那么，第二句话则更是透心之凉。 父亲叫她……防备江晚衣。 江晚衣…… 就是在她陷入噩梦中对她微笑告诉她不要害怕的人，就是名义上已经成为她的师兄的人，就是她曾为了救他而煞费苦心的人…… 为什么偏偏要是他？ 她将礼单捡起来，翻来覆去地又看了好几遍，企图从中找出第二种意思来推翻这个结果，但是，眼前的字迹却无比清楚又残忍地提醒着她，这些天来所发生的那些事情—— 六月初一，西宫，江晚衣被人发现深夜出现在罗贵妃的寝宫； 六月初二，颐非审问江晚衣和罗贵妃时，麟素莫名出现； 六月初三，颐非对她说江晚衣当晚在西宫见的应该是另一个人；而同一天，她发现父亲的据点已被摧毁； 如今，六月初七，父亲派人告诉她，要提防江晚衣…… Why?Why? 难道说那晚江晚衣所见之人是麟素？他对麟素泄露了自己的身份，因此麟素开始彻查京都，挖出她们姜家深埋地底的隐棋，再设个陷阱等她入瓮？可是，她和江晚衣难道不是一条船上的吗？出卖她，对江晚衣来说有什么好处？ 为什么父亲不将话点得更通透一些？为什么眼前迷雾重重，不但没有清晰，反而越来越模糊？ 姜沉鱼开始在脑海里回想有关于这位记名师兄的一切：他是江淮的独子，三年前同父亲起了争执，离家出走，流浪民间，三年内，医人无数，被百姓奉为神医。然后，他突然又回返，成了公子的门客，回到京城的第一件事就是为曦禾夫人治病。他医术精湛，药到病除，因此曦禾夫人很快就得以痊愈，昭尹龙颜大悦，又查出江家与叶家是亲戚，所以让曦禾夫人同他认祖归宗，赏封爵位，再出使程国，为程王看病。 没错，这就是江晚衣的经历。 而作为与他同行的关系密切的师妹，她则看到了更多： 他性情温和，对下人也极为关怀，从无架子； 他细心严谨，为人医治总是全心全力，废寝忘食； 他还有一颗非常温柔的慈悲之心，胸怀济世之志，不分权贵，只要是病人都一视同仁…… 这样一个人，这样的一个人……如果这一切都是装出来的…… how terrible. 姜沉鱼握紧双手，想控制自己保持镇定，可是她的手指却一直抖一直抖，怎么也停不下来。 冷静、冷静，先别慌，慢慢想，肯定、肯定有什么东西是被疏忽与被遗忘的，冷静下来，仔细地想，可以做到，一定可以…… 她闭上眼睛，深呼吸，如此做了足足十个吐纳后才再度睁眼。一旁，怀瑾正担虑地看着她：“小姐，你没事吧？” 姜沉鱼的目光落到她手上：“你腕上戴的是什么？” 怀瑾愣了一下，抬手：“小姐是说这串红绳吗？是去年陪夫人去定国寺拜佛时求的。” “可不可以借我一下？” 怀瑾连忙摘下那串红绳，姜沉鱼接过来，细细端详，数股丝线绞在一起，串着三颗白珠一颗红珠，编织精巧，环环相扣。她的眼眸由深转浅，又从浅转浓。如此过了很长一段时间，突地失声“啊”了一下，瞳中像有火焰跳起，变得异常明亮：“原来如此！” “小姐？什么如此？” 姜沉鱼起身，因激动而向前走了几步，喃喃道：“原来是这样……真的是这样吗……” "Miss?" 姜沉鱼握紧红绳，今天是六月初七，距离程王的寿诞还有二十二天。昭尹对她一行人的命令是盗取机密，和娶到公主。但现在看来，情况分明已经变得更加复杂。 姜沉鱼垂下眼帘，还有二十二天…… There was a knock on the door. 怀瑾将门开了，见李庆躬身道：“虞姑娘，有请帖到。” 怀瑾好奇道：“咦，宫里又要摆宴吗？” 李庆答道：“确是邀宴，但不是宫里，而是……” 他的话没说完，姜沉鱼已转过身来微微一笑，用一种早有预料的镇定表情接口道：“而是颐殊公主，对么？” 怀瑾接过请柬，桃红色的笺纸上，落款处，果然写的是“颐殊”二字。
