Chapter 20 20
The person who bumped into Shanglu was named Qin Gentian. He was dressed in purple, and his face was still covered with veil, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
But just judging from the exposed pair of star-like eyes, one can probably guess that this is a little beauty.
Gentiana Qin claimed to be a "tribute" offered by Qiongzhi Kingdom next door, but she did not come to Baibu Kingdom voluntarily, but was tricked by her tribe to deceive the king, so she was tricked here.
After reacting, she was not willing to accept her fate. She was unwilling to be trapped in the backyard of the deep palace in another country, so she wanted to escape from the palace when the defense was lax recently.
To put it simply, it is somewhat similar to the psychology of Phytolacca who tried to run away before.
As a result, Shanglu instantly felt sympathy for her, and even forgot the grievances and grievances that she had overwhelmed him before, and looked at the silent Qin Gentiana, only pity.
This was after the two of them were moved from the corner back to Shang Lu's temporary residence.
Bai Ying had a big heart, and was not at all worried about the conspiracy of this foreigner who tried to escape halfway, and directly threw him to Shang Lu to watch.
In this regard, Jingmo did not stop them, but asked them to recover from their injuries first, and discuss the rest of the issues later.
Shanglu has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his foundation is already good. After lying on the bed for a quarter of an hour, he jumped up again, still alive and kicking, without being affected at all.
On the contrary, the Gentiana with the padded back underneath looked much more serious. It took a long time to lie down before barely sitting up, still covered in cold sweat and panting.
Shang Lu thought it might be because she was wearing too much.
However, Gentiana Qin expressed firm opposition to Shang Lu's suggestion of undressing, and even stopped Shang Lu when she was about to go to the doctor.
"What's the matter?" Shang Lu turned his head a little puzzled.
Qin Gentian lowered his head and saw himself grabbing Shanglu's hand subconsciously. He was taken aback for a moment, and then put it down immediately as if he was electrocuted again.
However, no matter what Shang Lu asked, Gentiana Qin never answered.
Shang Lu originally thought that she might be shy by nature, but saw her glance around the room, and finally found a pen and paper on the square table.
The two communicated on the stack of papers.
Including Qin Gentian's own identity, she also wrote it and handed it to Shang Lu.
Fortunately, Shanglu had learned characters in his early years, and the two countries were located adjacent to each other, and the characters used were not much different, so there was no communication barrier.
Shang Lu glanced at it, and felt that Gentiana Qin's handwriting was very beautiful, with a sharp aesthetic feeling. She didn't know how to describe it, but she only knew that it was much more beautiful than her own Gou Crawling handwriting.
With such a bonus, Shang Lu immediately respected Gentiana Qin.
Qin Gentiana wrote on the paper that his throat was muffled by the people who were afraid of her resistance, and he couldn't make a sound, so he could only communicate with her in this way.
"What?!" Shang Lu was filled with righteous indignation, even more angry than Qin Gentian himself, "How could this be so inhuman! Where is your home? If I meet you in the future, I will definitely avenge you!"
The corners of Qin Gentiana's mouth hidden under the veil twitched, and he wrote a few words to comfort her at a leisurely pace.
[It’s okay, it’s just a method used by the so-called big clan.What's more, there is not much intersection between the two countries. ]
"Even a big family can't bully people like this!" Shanglu continued angrily, "Even his own clansmen can do it, is it true that the conscience has been eaten by dogs? No, even the brains have been eaten by dogs!"
[It is good that I can live, I only hope that I will not meet again in the future, and my life will be safe. ]
"...It's true, it's good to be alive, those sick people should stay away."
Shang Lu immediately agreed with Qin Gentiana's "open-mindedness", and felt that it was more important to live well than to take revenge.
"Since they are all so shameless, who knows what more outrageous things will be done."
As he said that, Shang Lu patted Qin Gentian's shoulder again, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will cover you in the future, and I don't think anyone will bully you again!"
[Then His Majesty——]
Qin Gentian cut to the point, and after writing a few words, he glanced at Shang Lu with some hesitation.
Shanglu was also taken aback, his face was blank for a moment, as if he just realized the question.
But at least she has some sympathy with Bai Ying, and judging from the short time they got along, Bai Ying is indeed a good talker.
So Shang Lu was not as worried as Gentiana Qin.
After conditioned reflexive guilt and worry at first, she gritted her teeth and made a promise.
"I will definitely intercede for you! As long as I am not dead, I will definitely not let you have trouble!"
Shang Lu thought about it for a while, Qin Gentiana's life experience is already so pitiful, and she was indirectly harmed by Bai Ying to the scene of climbing the wall.
In any case, Shang Lu felt that he should bear part of the responsibility.
There is also the so-called "chivalry" in the body, how can such a poor girl die without saving it.
Of course not.
So Shanglu made up his mind, with a bitter look on his face.
Qin Gentian let go of his heart a little bit, but he couldn't help but look at Shang Lu with pity——
This child is really easy to deceive. How did she survive to such an age safely?
.......
To be honest, before Bai Ying came, Shang Lu thought hard about many ways to deal with it in order to save Qin Gentian's life, and it would be best to let her go free and let her spend the rest of her life safely.
With Shanglu's IQ, she even thought about smashing the jar and knelt down to hug Baiying's thigh.
Anyway, Bai Ying was frightened by the women in that courtyard and ran away, so she probably didn't particularly want to keep them.
At this time, Shanglu hit the nail on the head.
But after thinking about it, Shanglu never thought that she would achieve her goal in this way in the end——
"Did you like it?" Bai Ying asked directly.
"...Huh?" Shang Lu hesitated, and the words that he had mustered up the courage to say were suddenly blocked by the original route, leaving him at a loss.
She subconsciously turned her gaze to the other visitor.
Bai Ying came with the fifth princess. It was getting late at this time, and Jing Mo had already gone back to rest.
It's just that before Jing Mo went back, he met the fifth princess by chance on the road, and made a few gossips, mentioning this "adventure" of Shanglu.
At that time, Songyin had just fallen asleep, and the little princess who had suffered several days of mental torture had just changed to a new environment. She didn't know if it was similar to the principle of "fighting poison with poison", but it was rare for her to let go of all her entanglements and fall asleep early.
It's not easy for the fifth princess to drag people up again, so she can only put down the little princess for the time being. It just happens to be another new fun of "climbing the wall" here, and of course they want to join in the fun.
For the fifth princess, as long as her imperial sister doesn't just leave her job and run away, all other related jokes can be enjoyed.
What's more, although a bunch of people in the Yuquan Palace are going to run away one by one, except for those donated by their own country, the family backgrounds sent by other countries are not bad, and they are more clear about each other, so in this regard, the five princesses Not really worried.
So seeing Shang Lu's puzzled face, the fifth princess took the time to temporarily replace Bai Ying's translation.
"Miss Shang has taken a fancy to this...Miss Qin?"
The fifth princess looked at Qin Gentian with great interest, and seeing her bowing her head and eyebrows in a well-behaved manner, with a well-behaved and demure appearance, she turned her gaze back to Shanglu.
Now that Shang Lu stayed in the palace, the obvious reason was actually to be the savior of Her Majesty the Empress—of course, only the person concerned should know the truth.
But even with this alone, no matter what Shang Lu's original identity was, the value she represented at this moment is not low.
If Shang Lu really took a fancy to this person, Bai Ying would be the one to reward him, and he wouldn't be the one to talk about it.
It just so happened that there were too many people in this yard, and it was only one person who could handle them.
So the fifth princess paused for a moment, waiting for Shanglu to react.
Shang Lu was stunned for a long time before realizing what the fifth princess meant, his face flushed immediately, and he subconsciously glanced at Qin Gentian, then shook his head tremblingly, stammering and trying to explain.
"...No, no..."
Bai Ying raised her eyebrows, and the smile on Fifth Princess' face deepened a bit.
Qin Gentiana: "..." If you don't have it, you don't have it, why are you blushing, why are you stuttering!
"Ah, don't be so shy. It's common sense for a man to marry a woman. It's not a shame to fall in love at first sight."
The fifth princess found a folding fan from nowhere, and unfolded it quickly, covering half of her face, with a smile in her eyes, quite like a cunning fox.
"Miss Shang is a heroic and courageous person, but it's a bit colder to be alone, and it's good to have many beauties around her."
"...Huh?" Shang Lu crashed.
"Yeah, or is it that Miss Shang doesn't like girls?" The fifth princess continued, "It doesn't matter, there are still a lot of young masters outside the palace, there is always one you like."
The five princesses looked like they could be chosen by you, but Shang Lu was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In the end, Bai Ying couldn't stand it any longer, and patted her sister's shoulder to signal her not to go too far, and then reminded Shang Lu.
"She's teasing you." Bai Ying paused, and then slowly connected several paragraphs into sentences, "Of course, if you like. You can also. Pick one."
"No no no need!"
Shanglu's consciousness returned, she repeatedly shook her head and backed away to deny it, until all the way back to the wall, she turned her head and saw Gentiana Qin quietly acting as a wallflower, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and pointed her hand.
"I want this!"
As soon as Shang Lu's words fell, the scene fell silent for a while, and no one spoke for a while.
Even Shanglu himself slowly covered his face in silence, trying to pretend that he didn't exist.
"Okay." Bai Ying came back to her senses first, and turned her head to look at the other party directly, "Any comments?"
Qin Gentiana: "......" Why do you have to ask someone's "opinion" so murderously...
Of course, Gentiana Qin had no objection, and nodded silently.
This silly girl, Shanglu, is so easy to deceive, if she really follows her, she will basically run away.
As long as she can leave the palace, she will be completely free, and her secrets will be completely safe...
So of course Gentiana Qin would not object, but lowered his head even lower, showing a shy look.
Shanglu's face turned even redder—half from guilt.
She felt that although it was an expedient measure to take advantage of the situation at the moment, it could be regarded as tarnishing Qin Gentian's innocence, and she only hoped that she would not care about it.
The simple Shanglu here is still struggling with guilt, while Baiying and the fifth princess have discussed it back and forth for a few times, and immediately made a decision on this matter, and drafted an order when they went back.
Baiying and the fifth princess both consciously solved a small problem, and left contentedly, leaving the new couple to cultivate their relationship, without thinking about what kind of embarrassing atmosphere the scene will be after they leave.
But this is not what they have to consider.
The next day, Bai Ying dealt with the backlog of official duties for half a day, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. Taking advantage of the absence of the fifth princess, she sneaked out of the palace gate——
Of course it was to find Jingmo.
The weather has cooled down in the past few days, and Jing Mo's spirit is not very good. He didn't wake up until the afternoon. When Baiying came to the door, he simply put on his coat and went out to greet him.
Bai Ying hurriedly dragged her back into the house, helped her pack her clothes, and then sat down to drink the hot tea brought by her servants.
Jing Mo had just woken up, still a little dazed, holding a cup in his hand to listen to Bai Ying's words, which naturally mentioned Shanglu and Gentiana Qin.
At first, Jing Mo thought it was funny, so he laughed for a while, but after laughing for a while, he felt something was wrong.
As the heat in the cup gradually dissipated, Jing Mo's consciousness gradually came to his senses, and he slowly matched up the newly-appeared "Gentina Qin" with the information stored in his mind.
"If I remember correctly - this Miss Qin is the daughter of a family from the Qiong Kingdom." Jing Mo said slowly.
"It seems to be." Bai Ying didn't pay much attention to this aspect, but when I met her before, I checked her background by the way, so I still have a little impression at this time.
"When the Fifth Highness came down the day before yesterday, he seemed to have mentioned that there was an envoy from Qiong Guo, and it has not been a few days since the envoy who sent Miss Qin left."
Jing Mo feels that this matter is subtle no matter how you look at it.
The Qiongzhi Kingdom is located next to the Baibu Kingdom, and it is generally called the Qiong Kingdom. There is also a widely circulated nickname "Poor Country" in private, which naturally shows the state of the country.
For other countries, Qiongguo is just a weed swaying in the wind, with little courage in the background, but the spirit of tenacious resistance is rare to make people admire.
——But this is probably the only reason why they were not destroyed.
As early as a few years ago during the war, Qiong Guo had given full play to his role as a shit-stirring stick with no deterrent effect, causing chaos left and right, and finally retreated in a coquettish posture.
However, when the large-scale war ended and all countries began to empty their hands and prepare to clean up the Qiong Kingdom, they surrendered and begged for mercy in a timely manner. dog leg.
Coupled with the fact that there are many poor mountains and remote areas, there is really not much temptation. On the contrary, people don't want to care about them anymore.
Besides Baibu Kingdom, who was too lazy to care about it, another big country bordering Qiong Kingdom didn't even look at them seriously.
As a result, this small country, which is often desperate for death, has miraculously achieved the achievement of surviving in the cracks.
Even this time when envoys from various countries presented beauties in the "prosperous age", Qiong Guo had a hand in it.
Fortunately, they didn't lose their minds this time, and they sent the daughter of the Qin family, a very important family in the country, and sent envoys to present a bunch of treasures.
The fifth princess who was in charge of receiving them didn't pay too much attention, and of course Bai Ying didn't know much about it.
If Gentiana hadn't jumped over the wall and bumped into Shanglu this time, Bai Ying might not even have remembered the name of this small country by now.
In view of the fact that this family had too many criminal records, Bai Ying didn't care at all when they heard that they had sent envoys again, and just let the fifth princess send them away.
But now being mentioned by Jing Mo, Bai Ying felt something was wrong when he connected Qin Gentian with the envoy of Qiong Kingdom.
But still in view of this unreliable criminal record, Baiying's first reaction was not any problem brought by the envoy, but something wrong with Qin Gentian——
Looking at the series of consequences, it can't be aimed at Shanglu, right?
The question is, what good would it do them to abduct an upright silly Baitian?
Bai Ying couldn't figure it out.
