Chapter Three Su Qing in Troubled Times
She likes the name Su Qing very much, for no reason, just to have her own surname and given name. Born in a slave family, she does not deserve to have her own name and relatives. Suli is lucky to be assigned to the third daughter of the Zhong family since she was a child.
Following him, she was led to the third lady's room in a daze. Looking at the huge room, she almost couldn't walk. There were snacks on the table that she had never seen before. A graceful and luxurious person of her own age came to visit.
The beautiful little girl jumped towards her. She knew that this was her future master and her lifelong master. According to the rules of Dongyang City, all servants of the master's family must have a mark. With this mark, it is equivalent to joining others.
No one would use her as a master, so she had a "lan" branded on her left arm, which meant that she was Zhong Roulan's lifelong slave.
How could she resist the temptation of snacks when she was still young? She kept glancing at the snacks while greeting her respectfully. Seeing this, Zhong Roulan directly took a plate of golden snacks from the table and handed it over. Seeing that she did not dare to take it, she encouraged her with her eyes.
I continued, but the fear in my heart could not resist the fluttering of my taste buds. It was delicious, with the sweet smell of pears. I had eaten rotten pears that had fallen on the ground before.
Seeing her gobbling up the food, Zhong Roulan burst out laughing and said, "I like eating Suli cake so much, I'll call you Suli from now on."
I couldn't make any sound from my stuffed mouth, so I nodded desperately. At that time, I thought maybe if I listened to Zhong Roulan's words, I would always have such delicious food.
Later, I discovered that she was perhaps the happiest maid in the entire Dongyang City. My master had always been like a child. Even if he made a mistake, he would never blame his maid. He would always have the aura to kill or cut into pieces as you pleased.
The angry head of the family almost threw Zhong Roulan out of Wanghai Pavilion.
However, although my master has a mind like a child, you would be wrong if you treat her as a child. Her thinking is clear, her eyes are bright, and her personality is tenacious. In the martial arts, she can be called a genius, and everything is perfect.
He couldn't hide from her eyes. He had practiced the "Water Avoidance Technique" to the fifth level when he was only fifteen years old. However, every time she practiced, she forced herself to accompany her, otherwise she would not be given food. She was a sparring partner.
Over the years, I have unknowingly reached the third level of cultivation, but no one in the Zhong family knows it.
Zhong Roulan had a secret talk with Xiao Yu when Meng Yan was injured. After that, Zhong Roulan decided to go back to Yujun and forced herself to stay with Meng Yan. Before leaving, Zhong Roulan told herself: "Suli,
It is not a long-term solution for you to stay in Zhongshi or with me. My second brother does not have so many restrictions here. You can live more freely and live the life you want to live. Never return to Zhongshi again. The two of us
We have grown up together since childhood and are already sisters. I will always consider you."
She refused many times, but Zhong Roulan always insisted on her attitude. After all, she still couldn't resist Zhong Roulan and stayed in Meng Yan's house. The life in the Duke's house was just like Zhong Roulan said, free and easy.
Both Meng Yan and Cang Shu Haoyue regarded themselves as their younger sisters, and even gave themselves names. Even the servants in the mansion would respectfully call her "Ms. Su" or "aunt" when they saw her. They completely regarded themselves as the master of the mansion.
Miss Li looks at it.
After Meng Yan went on the expedition, she saw how much Cang Shu Haoyue missed her. In addition, Xia Houying also traveled far away and didn't know where she went. She was bored staying in Chencheng, so she encouraged Haoyue to come to the army. Where could Cang Shu Haoyue meet?
The two people who refused to give in half-heartedly came secretly. Sure enough, Meng Yan bowed his head during Cang Shu Haoyue's operation. He was not so lucky. On the night before arriving at the army, Meng Yan ran into his tent and cursed loudly.
It ended with a dry mouth, but I was very happy, because no matter how Meng Yan scolded me or threatened me with not giving him food, this was what a brother should do. Fortunately, Ye Bohuai came to save me and let me
Meng Yan originally refused to come to Jin Qian to help, but his strong persistence made Meng Yan relieved: "My lord, 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."
The location must be kept secret, right?"
Meng Yan hesitated for a long time before deciding to send 500 sergeants to protect her to the front line of Wugang, and repeatedly warned her to be safe. Suli felt very warm, but Ye Bohuai's eyes were somewhat malicious.
It was uncomfortable to be submerged in the water for a long time. Even though it was close to the southern border, the river water was still very cold at night. The sound of fighting in my ears was getting farther and farther. The shape of the East Water Gate of Wugang could almost be seen with the naked eye.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, they finally arrived at the water gate. Su Qing said to the tired and half-dead followers beside him: "I will use the Water Avoidance Technique later. You two should be prepared to hold your breath. The most I can do to you is
Within a quarter of an hour, we must find an entrance to the city under the water at the east gate."
The two followers nodded. As sailors, their physical fatigue was nothing compared to the temptation of watching the world's best water technique, the "Water Avoidance Technique" being performed.
I saw Su Qing take a deep breath, and slide her body into the water like a fish. When she was visible in the water, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the belts of the two people and pulled them directly into the depths of the water. While the two were still surprised, Su Qing actually looked like
Walking in water just like walking on land, an air circle was formed around the body wherever it went. Both of them were in the air circle, breathing freely. Su Qing's face began to blush little by little, and seeing the two people in a daze,
Said: "Hurry up and find the door, do you expect me to suffocate myself to death?! Two grown men will be consumed very quickly!"
The two of them only reacted to the scolding. Su Qing flipped the large air circles with his left and right hands to form three small air circles that wrapped around the three of them. The surprised expressions of the two followers never stopped. The title of No. 1 in the water was indeed worthy of its name.
It was also lucky 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, which was just enough for a person to pass through.
After the three people came ashore one by one, Su Qing admired the two attendants. Knowing that she was a young lady from the county government, their initial respect for her now turned into worship. Su Qing saw the admiring looks in their eyes and stepped forward to kick her.
He grabbed the two men's feet and said, "Don't be stunned. This is Wugang City, not the Baize Army Camp. If you two want to die, don't drag me with you."
One of the more steady followers said: "Miss Qing, where does this quartz live?"
This made Su Qing stop. He was only thinking about how to get into the city, but forgot that the key was where the quartz was. If he couldn't find the quartz, he didn't come. Su Qing thought for a moment and said to another follower who looked more shrewd.
: "Mo Geng, I remember Ye Shuai told me that you are from Lingling, do you understand Shaoling dialect?"
"Yes, Miss, my family was originally a businessman, but later I offended the Gu family and I was exiled from the army." Mo Geng replied.
"Well, Wugang has been besieged for several days, and the Duke's army has also cut off the waterway between Baoqing and Wugang. They must be short of food and medicine now. You are quick-witted and proficient in business. Ye Nan's
Your skills are good, think of a way to find an identity for us." Su Qing planned to go to Quartz openly as a grain seller or a drug dealer.
The two of them took advantage of the city tower to stand still and it was dark again, and quickly took control of a medium-sized grain store near Dongshuimen. Mo was even more surprised to find that the grain merchant was also from Lingling, and the boss was actually named Su, so Mo Mo
He even asked Ye Nan to look at the grain store, and quickly took Su Qing into the grain store and confirmed her identity. Su Qing was the eldest lady of the Su family, a Lingling grain merchant, and she was the accountant, while Ye Nan was the guard and her identity was fake.
Yes, the name is true, and someone in the Lingling Mo family still remembers it. It is most difficult for people to find doubts among the true and false.
After Su Qing took a hot bath and settled herself down, Ye Nan came over 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 greetings. Let's go meet Quartz tomorrow." Su Qing said softly. She was really tired from soaking in the water and using the "Water Avoidance Technique" this night.
Ye Nan retreated softly, and happened to bump into Mo Geng, who was coming over, and said softly: "Miss Qing has gone to bed, let's prepare to visit Shi Ying tomorrow."
After Mo Geng heard the news that Su Qing had fallen asleep, he didn't force it. He said with a smile: "You and I are both Lingling soldiers. The Duke is in a humble state, so we should serve him." Then the old man died.
Zuo said mysteriously: "According to rumors in the army, Miss Su was originally the maid of Sanniang Zhong. Do you think she will be the future wife of the Duke?"
"What do you want to do?" Ye Nan looked at Mo Geng warily. Although Ye Nan was a warrior, he was not a fool. Mo Geng's words were doubtful.
"It's nothing. I think the Duke's wife intends to turn Miss Qing into our Bai Zejun side wife, and don't you think the two forces in the army are obvious?" Mo Geng did not give up persuading Ye Nan.
Ye Nan looked a little moved, and Mo Geng continued: "It has gradually become clear that most of Ye Shuai's subordinates are mainly the old Xuanwu troops and the newly built navy, and Zhuohou's subordinates are mainly composed of the old Xianghu troops and Shaonan soldiers."
"What does that have to do with Miss Qing?" Ye Nan asked.
"Mr. Zhong, Miss Qing is the maid of Sanniang Zhong. She is treated favorably by the county prince. My wife also intends to take her into the prince's house. The queen of our Chen Kingdom is the second Niang of the Zhong family. You can imagine the power behind this."
"You mean this will be the third force?" Ye Nan said in surprise.
"Yes, many officials and generals in the DPRK are from Suomen Island, and my wife is also from Suomen Island. Although Mr. Cang Shu is not favored by the king, his strength cannot be underestimated. Ping Haigong has a close relationship with him.
Mr. Geng of the Central Academy is Mr. Cang Shu’s disciple. If Zhong Sanniang is not here, then Miss Qing, as the person left by Zhong Sanniang, must be the target of all parties. Moreover, Miss Qing personally sneaked into Wugang this time. I think the Duke also
I intend to raise the banner of Miss Qing in the army." Mo Geng analyzed clearly and rationally.
"No, do you mean that the county guild will let Miss Qing lead the army alone?" Ye Nan really didn't expect it to be so complicated.
"Brother Ye, if you don't believe it, you can just wait and see for the Duke's arrangements after the Battle of Shaoling." Mo Geng didn't intend to convince Ye Nan in just a few words, but he was confident in his guess.
"If it's as you expected, what will you do?" Ye Nan breathed out and said.
"If Miss Qing raises the flag, I will serve you!" Mo Geng vowed.
"Then we'll wait until your guess comes true. If you're right, I'm willing to go with you." Ye Nan still hesitated.
