"This slave is here to deliver fruit to General Jia on the order of the princess."
Outside Jia Lian's tent, the maid who came all the way to ask questions was stopped by the guards at the door.
"give it to me."
A female voice suddenly appeared, surprising the maid.
Looking up carefully, it turned out that the two guards wearing armor and swords in front of them were actually dressed as women.
Can women also wear armor and serve as soldiers?
"Um?"
"Oh fine."
The maid is a little regretful. She originally thought she could see this General Jia with her own eyes and see how heroic he is and how he can charm our princess!
Seeing that the female guard suddenly became suspicious, she reluctantly handed the plate to her.
In the tent, Jia Lian put the response to Miaoyu back into the paper tube she sent and sealed it.
He looked up and saw Ah Qin coming in with grapes, and asked, "Where did they come from?"
In front of Jia Lian, Ah Qin instantly returned to her daughterlike state and said with a smile: "Sir, these are the grapes specially given to you by the princess."
"Princess reward?"
Jia Lian was a little confused.
Glancing at the fruit Ah Qin put in front of him, he found that there was still air-conditioning on it. Out of curiosity, Jia Lian reached out and touched the bottom of the plate. It was actually ice cold.
Obviously, it should have just been taken out of the ice collection.
In such a hot weather, and still on the road, one can imagine how precious iced fruits like this are.
From this, Jia Lian's heart became more and more strange...
What does it mean to give him this? Grapes should have no other meaning, right?
Jia Lian, who had just tried his best to guess Miaoyu's thoughts, thought about it for a while, and then felt funny in his heart.
Princess Zhaoyang and Miaoyu must be different. The other party should just reward him with some fruits.
"Take this out and ask Zhang Yong to give it to the master."
"yes."
Ah Qin accepted the order, but did not move. Instead, he smiled and took a grape from the plate and put it into his mouth.
Sensing Jia Lian's surprised look, she smiled and said, "Last night, Second Mistress specifically ordered us that anything of unknown origin should not be put into your mouth.
This person is acting on orders. "
Jia Lian smiled, it seems that the incident with Yang made Wang Xifeng deeply remember it.
However, can the thing given by the princess be called an object of unknown origin?
Why not……
Jia Lian took a deep breath. It turns out that women are the easiest to make men put down their guard. Even he is no exception.
Speaking of which, there was not much friendship between him and Princess Zhaoyang. On the contrary, there are still some grievances!
But in his heart, he actually trusted Princess Zhaoyang very much!
Sometimes this kind of trust based only on feelings without the support of facts may put you in a disadvantageous situation.
For example, he still hasn't figured out why Princess Zhaoyang asked him to be the messenger.
After some reflection in his mind, Jia Lian said nothing, and then took out a map from the side to observe.
Ah Qin was a little confused by Jia Lian's behavior.
Are you angry?
Not much.
Feeling suspicious, he didn't dare to make another mistake and got up to carry out the order.
After a while, she came back and reported back: "Zhao'er said that Mr. Xiang just sent someone to deliver a carriage. He said it was specially made for you to use it to protect you from the sun."
When Jia Lian heard this and was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered that such hot weather would last at least half a month.
If you are riding a horse all the way, if nothing else, your face will definitely get tanned or even sunburned.
As a general, he naturally wants to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers to enhance his prestige.
But besides his prestige, his face is actually one of his most important assets!
If you don't take care of it and damage it at will, you will definitely regret it in the future.
If nothing else, a little nun like Miaoyu most likely values his appearance.
Therefore, I am not afraid of being slightly darker, and it can also be said to be more majestic. But it can't be too dark.
"Since it is sent by Lord Xiang, then accept it."
After replying, Jia Lian casually grabbed a grape and put it into his mouth while continuing to study the route map.
Suddenly, a woman's unique breath came. It turned out that Ah Qin turned around and walked to him after washing her hands, peeled a grape and handed it to his mouth.
Although the thin armor, which can only be used for decoration and has no defensive power, covers most of the woman's voluptuous form, it cannot cover the slightly exposed collarbone of the neck and the ten slender jade fingers.
"No, you can go out."
Being rejected by Jia Lian, Ah Qin suddenly looked aggrieved and looked at Jia Lian sadly.
Jia Lian sighed helplessly: "Well, it's just to serve and eat. Remember what you promised me before leaving. You are not allowed to be naughty, let alone deliberately seduce this general.
Otherwise, I will send someone to send you back. "
It's not that Jia Lian is hypocritical, he originally only planned to take A Qi with him.
My elder sister, Aqi, is taciturn and agile. She can be said to be a good helper for home travel without any side effects.
But my sister is much more naughty.
This trip is the most important one for image, and Jia Lian naturally doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of a woman.
However, under Ah Qin's pleading and promise, Jia Lian reluctantly took her out.
"Ho ho." Ah Qin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, sir, and I will never dare to seduce you."
Therefore, Jia Lian was doing business while enjoying Ah Qin's service.
After a while, Jia Lian noticed that Xiao Nizi was trying to break her promise, and rolled up the map with a wave of her hand.
"Well, don't you want to eat, sir?"
"If you don't want to eat, take the rest and share it with your sister."
With that said, Jia Lian strode out of the camp, called Zhang Yong and Zhao Sheng, and went to find Xiang He and others to discuss matters.
…
Princess Zhaoyang's boudoir.
Princess Zhaoyang listened to the fourth prince's proposal quietly, and then looked at him, trying to tell from the fourth prince's eyes whether he really had such an absurd idea, or whether he was just trying to make a quick statement.
After making the fourth prince look uneasy, she said calmly: "First, Jia Lian is in the Chinese army's tent, surrounded by thousands of soldiers. With just one or two hundred of your men, you can't attack the camp and kidnap him." Without him, there is only one chance.
Second, even if you acted carefully, all your guards were highly skilled in martial arts and tied up Jia Lian.
How can you send me away with him and ensure that others will not doubt you?
Do you know that once you can't pick it out yourself, even if you send us away, it will be in vain.
By then, do you know how severely you will be punished? "
When the fourth prince heard this, he wanted to say that he was not afraid.
Princess Zhaoyang had already seen through it, "Even if you are not afraid of punishment, if the court threatens you or Jia Lian's family with life and death, do you think we will show up or not at that time?
Third, even if you have great ability, you can hide it from others.
Are you sure that Jia Lian will be at the mercy of you and me?
Is it possible that you want me to keep his hands and feet tied up and wander around the world?
What if he insists on disobeying us and even reports you and me to the court?
kill him?
fourth……"
The fourth prince was left speechless by Princess Zhaoyang's question. He couldn't say his stupid words in front of the princess's calm face.
"Fourth, as the prince of the Wei Dynasty, you should put the interests of the country first when you act.
Do you know that once you destroy the alliance between the imperial court and Oara, if the Tatars, Oara and many foreign countries in the West Sea form a coalition to invade our country, then, not to mention you, I am afraid that my father will also He was blamed and criticized for this.
Therefore, such ignorant and stupid words can only be said by ordinary people in the market. You, the prince of the Wei Dynasty, can’t say that.
I have a mission that belongs to me.
And you, too. "
Princess Zhaoyang looked at her brother in front of her deeply, feeling a little worried about his future.
The father did not have many sons, so compared to the previous dynasty, each prince received relatively higher attention.
She could see that the reason why her younger brother went further and further down the path of a dandy was that he might not have expressed to the eldest and third emperor brothers that he had no intention of being orthodox.
But since ancient times, the struggle for power in the Tian family has always been bloody and cruel.
If there is no strategy, it is useless to hide foolishness and clumsiness. Maybe, it’s easier to be taken advantage of and lose something that belongs to you.
Even life.
What he regretted was that she, the imperial sister, could not help him even if she had expected something.
