Chapter 10 Nine Princesses

Tianyou actually only guessed the identity of the beauty in men's clothing, but combined with their previous conversations, this matter was quite tricky. What Tianyou regretted the most was that he was stupid and took the initiative to get involved. This was really a sin!

After a quick weigh-in in his heart, Tianyou's eyes had regained their firmness when he looked at the other party again. "Since I have confirmed that I will be the guide, I still hope that some things can be explained clearly in advance."

"Please say it."

Tianyou looked around deliberately and said, "Some things are the best, only those who are in our journey know, right?"

The beauty in men's clothing was obviously stunned, her expression changed a little. She looked back at the old man, and then turned to Huangxian Cheng and the village elder.

The woman praised the two for their work of finding a guide, and Huang County Magistrate and the village elder quickly said that they did not dare.

After a few polite words, all the unrelated people in the account were cleared, leaving only a few people who needed to enter the mountain together.

"Can you say it now?" The woman's tone was obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and even had a hidden warning.

Tianyou knew that she must have had this reaction, so he didn't care. He just deliberately replied in a slightly frivolous tone: "Yes, my princess."

Almost at the moment when the word "Princess" was said, Tianyou had a sharp sword on his neck. The one who took action was the cold girl as sharp as a blade. Although Tianyou did not think about resisting, he was also shocked by her amazing body movement.

"Bingyu." The princess called out softly. With a tingling sound, the beautiful bladed girl with a neat sword and retreated back to her original place. Only then did she turn back to Tianyou and ask with a serious expression: "Say, what do you know?"

Tianyou knew that it would be easy to cause misunderstandings if he didn't explain it, so he answered readily: "I know you are a princess, and I know someone is threatening your safety." Tianyou guessed that there were far more than that, but the more you know this kind of thing, the more troublesome it is. If possible, he didn't even want to say these two points, but in the past three days, it would be more dangerous if he didn't say something.

"How did you find out my identity?" The princess' tone eased, but it was still very serious.

"This is actually easy to guess. Didn't County Magistrate Huang salute you before?"

"It's because of this?"

Tianyou nodded. "The Huang County Magistrate is an official of rank. According to the Qin Dynasty etiquette, officials can only salute the superiors, elders, and dead, otherwise it will be considered as a detriment to the court. There are so many people here, and the Huang County Magistrate only salutes you, which means that he is not disregarding etiquette and law to curry favor with the powerful, but is acting according to the etiquette system. In other words, you meet one of the above four identities.

You are definitely not a dead person. You are considered an elder when you reach the state of mind. I don’t know if you are seventeen years old, but it is definitely impossible to be seventy years old. All the rest are elders or Shangguans. Although it is not surprising that there are elders with high age and high grades in the big family, I know about Huang County Magistrate. I have no genealogy from a poor family, so the elders must not make sense.

Finally, when I came in, I found that the guards outside all had the temperament of a military man, and the only ones that could allow the army to protect were the officials who traveled. So you must have an official position, but your age can only be the elders, and the only ones who are born with ranks are royal relatives, so you are either princess or princesses. The rank of princess is too low. Even if you are favored, it is beyond the limit to bringing out one or two teams of troops, but you are close to two songs here, so you can only be a princess.

I, Daqin, only three princesses. The eldest princess is already a mother, and your age is not up to par. The little princess is said to be less than ten years old, so you can only be the ninth princess Ying Ying.”

Papapapapapapapa... Ying Ying praised while slamming her high fives: "I thought you were just a good hunter, but I didn't expect that my thinking was so sharp. But I didn't understand something very clearly." Ying Ying was quite polite when she said the first half of the sentence, but when the second half was out, her face had already returned to its coldness.

Tianyou felt that the princess was a little alert to him and guessed the general reason, but now he could only explain slowly. "I don't know what the princess wants to know?"

"I want to know who you are." Ying Ying stared at Tianyou, ready to capture the change in expression at that moment at any time. "My army organization in Daqin, the number of troops led by the title, the official etiquette system, and the age characteristics of our three sisters are not secrets, but why do you, a mountain hunter, know these? You must have been to school after hearing your conversation. The village elder said before, you grew up eating a hundred families, and your parents didn't have them. How did you go to school? If the village elder hadn't said that you grew up in Qingyuan Village, I would even suspect that you were just an assassin specially arranged here. But since you are not an assassin, who are you?"

Tianyou listened to Ying Ying's questioning and looked at her face, but his eyes became gentler, which made Ying Ying's voice smaller and smaller, and even a red cloud appeared on her face.

"You...what are you looking at?" Ying Ying wanted to scold her, but opened her mouth but found that her voice seemed to be acting cute, and even she was stunned for a moment.

"You dare to be rude to the princess." Lu Zhengyi, who stood up, pulled out his sword with a blink of an eye, but was immediately stopped by Ying Ying.

Looking at Ying Ying, who had a serious expression but still had a hint of rosy face, Tianyou really liked this woman more and more. He had seen many beautiful women in his previous life, but there were definitely fewer people with such temperament. Now he found that this woman has wisdom that is not inferior to him. If such a perfect woman was still in her previous life, Tianyou swore that she would chase her and take care of her carefully, but he knew that he could not afford to climb up in this life. In this world with strict hierarchy, it is a sin to even shout out such a thing as equality.

"If I say I am a genius, do you believe it?" Tianyou joked on purpose, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. He had already warned himself that this woman was not something he could covet, but he couldn't help but start flirting with girls as soon as he spoke. "Is this my nature difficult to change?" Tianyou complained secretly, but his expression on his face had not changed much. Since he had already said it, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"I believe." Ying Ying's answer made Tianyou obviously stunned for a moment, and the joking expression on his face disappeared. For a moment, he didn't know how to follow it down.

Looking at Tianyou's silly expression, Ying Ying couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, but she quickly pressed her down, but she didn't even notice the abnormal pleasure.

"Tell me the matter. How did you know that we are being hunted down? We clearly put down the curtain just now, and you couldn't hear it."

"I don't know you're being hunted down, I just know someone is threatening you, and I'm not trying to eavesdrop on purpose. You know, monsters are all very light in their steps, I'm a hunter, and I'm not good at hearing."

"You have heard our conversation?" Ying Ying was quite surprised, but thinking about what he and others said were actually very obscure, so he felt a little relieved.

It cannot be said that these people are not dependent on their work and that such important things are just talking about. At that time, they obviously put down the leather curtains for sound insulation, and normal people should not hear them. Moreover, there are limitations of the times. Just as Tianyou's performance just now was discovered by Ying Ying, in this era, there are very few people who can understand military and national affairs. Among the big tents, including Huang County Magistrate, they can be counted as their people. In their eyes, the village elder and Tianyou were two mountain village men at that time, so they didn't think these people could understand their conversations. In addition, they also used sound insulation curtains, which could be heard and deduced out key information. It can only be said that Tianyou is a bug, not their fault.

Ying Ying, who had figured it out, didn't plan to hide anything. As a guide, letting Tianyou know more about the situation is a guarantee for their safety.

"You know, too. We have been attacked three times along the way, all of which are ambushing. The guards you see are actually less than half as they were when they set off, which is why we don't follow the official road."

Tianyou suddenly said, "If there is an inn to change horses, you can travel day and night, and it is not difficult to get to the royal city within six days. It's just that there are not many horses at the post station, and they can't support so many people. That's why you want to walk on the mountain road. In fact, what you need most is not time, but to get rid of the pursuers."
