After Dawn Chapter 80: The Heart of Mysterious Girl (2)

The advisor in Tsing Yi pushed open the window, and the voice of hawking came from downstairs, "The climate in Dingnan is much drier than that in Nancheng. If the princess feels unwell, she can boil it for a while, and it will be better when she arrives in the northern kingdom."

"What is Beitangxian going to do with me?" Qing Ran asked calmly.

"Disposal?" As if hearing something extremely funny, the advisor in Tsing Yi unfolded the folding fan in his hand, shook it, and a disapproving smile appeared on his face, "How could it be a disposal?"

He came over and raised Qingran's chin with the edge of the fan: "The princess is so beautiful, the lord will love the princess well, and please don't worry about the princess."

Even though she was insulted, Qing Ran's face didn't show much emotion. The advisor in Tsing Yi saw his figure in those dark eyes, he couldn't help but shivered and subconsciously retracted his hand. 's fan.

He was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look into Qing Ran's eyes again. He felt that those cold eyes seemed to be able to see through all the dark sides of his heart.

"Can I go out for a walk?" Qing Ran asked.

"Of course not." The woman called Jueyan pushed the door and entered, she changed into a red dress. There is a big difference in the appearance of the women in the northern country and the women in the southern country. The women in the southern country have delicate facial features and similar skin. Delicate white porcelain, with red lips, just like Nangong Qingran, the beauty is gentle and harmless, but Jueyan is the representative of the northern women, with a tall stature, a high nose bridge, deep and three-dimensional facial features, and extremely beautiful and aggressive. .

She looked at her with hostility in her eyes, and Qing Ran saw it at first sight.

Jueyan is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions.

Qing Ran looked at Tsing Yi counselor, she knew that among the two, he was the one who really had the right to speak.

"Of course," Tsing Yi said with a smile, "Why don't you let me introduce the scenery of Dingnan to the princess?"

"Good."

……

Even apart from the identity of the princess of Qingran, with her appearance, it is difficult not to attract attention in Dingnan, or in any place, her appearance will become the object of public attention, just in Dingnan Nan, the perennial war, when the women who come and go all describe the haggard, Qing Ran's soft body and delicate appearance, no doubt shine even more.

Jueyan found a hat for Qingran, and Qingran obediently put on a black coat that was handed to her by the Tsing Yi counselor. The hat covered her face and figure in the long Under the black veil, it is not uncommon to dress like this in Dingnan City. Most of the ladies who come and go use this kind of dress in order to avoid Dingnan's scorching sunshine and hide their identity.

Dingnan is a city at the junction of the north and the south. The high city walls and the boundless grassland outside the city separate the two very different countries.

The northern country is a frontier herdsmen. The land is vast but not fertile. They often go south to harass the southern country, which is full of water and soil. The city gate of Dingnan is the first line of defense against the iron shoes of the northern country. However, although the two countries often have conflicts, in peacetime However, there are many trade exchanges. The southern country needs the strong horses and fat cattle and sheep of the northern country, and the northern country needs the fresh fruits and vegetables and abundant grains of the southern country.

There is a jewelry seller on the side of the road, Qingran walked over, and they sold some minerals that are common in the north but rare in the south. They were carefully carved and polished into small circles and strung into bracelets or anklets. It looks very delicate and cute.

"How do you sell this?" Qing Ran asked, picking up a bunch of fancy bracelets.

"Miss, you have good eyesight, this bracelet..."

"This is just some cheap broken stones. After seeing the Lord, do you want any rare treasures?" Jue Yan snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"Ehhh, how can you say that, miss?" The interrupted peddler was dissatisfied, "I risked my life to take out this stone from the Holy Maiden River next to the North King's Palace, Holy Maiden. The river, do you know? It is the mother river of the Northern Kingdom, and it is the river where the gods lived... I can guarantee that this stone is a unique treasure in the world. This young lady has a good face, so I will sell it to you for a cheaper price. Hello, how about three taels of silver?"

"Thirty taels of silver? Why don't you go grab it?" Jueyan raised her voice and asked, and then snorted coldly, "People in the South are all so sly and cunning."

"Do you really like this bracelet, Miss?" Tsing Yi didn't participate, but turned his head and asked.

Qing Ran fiddled with the beads on the chain one by one. The conversation between the hawker and Jue Yan did not disturb her. When she heard the question from the Tsing Yi counselor, she stopped, nodded, and then The bracelet is held in the palm of the hand.

The advisor in Tsing Yi didn't say any more, just put three taels of silver on the stall, and followed Qing Ran to the other direction.

"You! You!" Jue Yan saw the movements of the two of them and stomped their feet fiercely. The hawker at the stall picked up a weed from somewhere and put it in his mouth. He pouted and said, "This lady! You have to learn more from your companions, you can see how good they are with their eyes!"

"I want you to mind your own business!"

With a swipe, the long sword came out of the scabbard and rested on the hawker's shoulder, causing him to stand up straight, his facial features all wrinkled into a ball, with a sad look: "Auntie has something to say, This knife and gun is really not a woman's demeanor!"

"It's the villain who has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, it's the villain who is wrong, the villain will refund the money to you..."

He stretched out his hand tremblingly to return the money to Jueyan, but Jueyan knocked him out, "Bah, who wants your stinky money." He turned to see that Qingran and Tsing Yi counselor were about to disappear. In the crowd, she gritted her teeth and retracted her long sword.

"Good luck to you."

After she left, the hawker in commoner slowly picked up the fallen silver from the ground, then shook the four corners of the cloth on which the stall was placed, and neatly rolled all the jewelry on the stall into a package, Then quickly disappeared.

"General, the ten princesses have been found."

In the distance, the wind blew, and the long black veil was lifted to a corner, and the graceful figure of the beautiful woman was vaguely visible, but it was a pity that her face was covered tightly, making it difficult to see what happened.

……

Apart from the bracelet, Tsing Yi and Jue Yan accompanied Qing Ran for a long time, but they didn't find her interested in anything else.

She just wandered around casually, without asking, and rarely picked up anything to look at. The bracelet she bought earlier has been held in her hand and never put it down. The Tsing Yi counselor thought she was using a secret code, but found that She just turned the bracelet, and the speed has not changed from beginning to end, as if she was just doing something very casually.

"Miss doesn't seem to be worried about her own fate now." The Tsing Yi counselor asked.

Qing Ran didn't look at him, just picked up a dagger from the booth and said without turning her head, "If I'm worried, can I change anything?"

"Boom" Tsing Yi's strategist's fan quickly spread out on his chest to block the stabbed sharp blade. He turned his wrist and closed the fan and quickly pressed it towards Qingran's wrist holding the knife. Qingran only felt numb in her wrist. Hearing a "ding" sound, the dagger fell back to the booth.

"Young lady is fine-skinned and tender. It's better not to play with these dangerous things." Tsing Yi said with a smile, but his eyes were a little cold. He didn't expect Nangong Qingran to be in the deep palace without two doors. The princess who doesn't take steps has such a speed. If he reacts a little slower, if Nangong Qingran's hand is a little harder, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to stand here completely.

However, he was certain that Nangong Qingran did not have any inner strength, but only possessed the dexterity of his daughter's family.

Qing Ran withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, then turned his wrist at will, and asked, "Little brother, how do you sell this dagger?"

"Miss, this dangerous thing is not suitable for you." Tsing Yi said with a smile.

Qing Ran lowered her eyes, but she couldn't see her expression through the black veil: "I just think this dagger looks good."

She is not telling lies. Although this dagger belongs to a street vendor and is of average material, the carving is really beautiful. Although the pattern on the scabbard is simple, it is not difficult to see the intention of the person who carved it. A gem, but still makes people feel a sense of beauty.

"The food in the restaurant in front of you is very good, how do you like it, Miss?"

"Let's go." Qing Ran wasn't too persistent, but just lifted his foot and walked in the direction he said.

……

The twilight in Dingnan is extremely beautiful. The sky starts to be dyed with red clouds from a distance, and then spreads little by little. There are vaguely the herdsmen's songs, floating melodiously. People in various costumes on the street walk slowly and leisurely. From time to time, cattle, sheep and horses are kicking leisurely past.

Qing Ran, they came a little late and didn't want to go to the private room, so they could only find a remote corner on the second floor. The younger brother was experienced, so he took the initiative to move a screen to block a few people, and he couldn't stop at the same time. Apologizing, saying that it was really unfortunate that the private room was already full.

Jueyan was dissatisfied, but the advisor in Tsing Yi didn't say much, just held down the hand she wanted to draw the sword, and Qing Ran didn't care about the movements of the two, she just sat down and looked at her. outside the window.

"Second brother, let's have some special dishes in the store." Tsing Yi said, "I've been here several times, so please don't deceive me."

"Hey, don't worry, guest, you're satisfied with your meal."

The younger brother took the lead and retreated, and the three fell into silence. Jueyan spoke first: "When will the lord's people arrive?"

The advisor in Tsing Yi looked out, and on the street not far away, a herdsman in a white hat was driving dozens of cattle and sheep past the middle of the road. He curled his lips: "It's already here."

The speed of serving food in this restaurant is very fast. A few younger brothers shuttle back and forth between the aisles. They are agile, and their hands holding the plates are also very stable. Filled with food, only to hear a crisp "come", the younger brother who had greeted Qingran and his party earlier came over with the dishes.

"Although it is not as exquisite as the palace, it is also a rare food." Tsing Yi said, and nodded indifferently.

At this point, something unexpected happened!
