Chapter 5 - Is She a Spy

After finishing trivial housework, the two of them idle in the yard to bask in the sun.

The humble little benches were next to each other, and both eyes were half-squinted, so they sat together and took a nap under the sun.

Li Jingnan was comfortable in the sun and had nothing to do, so he chatted with Hua Qingxue——

“Hua Qingxue.”

“What happened?”

“What are you thinking?”

“I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

“You lied to me, how could a person not think of anything.”

“You’re so naggy.”

“I am Prince Daqi.”

“Yes, Prince Daqi, you’re so naggy.”

“Alas …” Li Jingnan sighed quietly with his hands on his small head. “Hua Qingxue, why are you not afraid of me …”

Hua Qingxue listened and stood up lazily, bowing perfunctorily in the direction of Li Jingnan, “His Royal Highness Prince, the head of this civilian girl has just been blank, and she didn’t think of anything.”

Li Jingnan smiled and bowed his eyes, and satisfiedly nodded his head and replied: “Well … that’s the case, no need for formalities.”

Hua Qingxue bit her lip silently, not wanting to reason with this little villain. She then walked to the side of the tub and said, “The weather is so good today, Your Royal Highness, wash your dragon hair.”

Li Jingnan glared at her with a cheek.

Hua Qingxue waved at him, “Hurry to wash your hair, it’s almost rancid.”

“There are no fragrant soaps, how do I wash my hair?”

“Let’s make use of ricei water first, and then you will have lice if you don’t wash it. By then you will be the first prince in the world to have lice on your head.”

“……Humph.”

…

Idle speech does not have any meaning, nor high laughter, but it can make people feel happy in the afternoon.

At the other end of the mottled wall is a forced alley formed between the two houses.

There are two tall men who do not know how long they have stood here.

They wore old taupe cloaks and did not move at all, like two frozen sculptures in winter, like a humble debris in the alley.

The voices of a woman and her child could be clearly heard in this quiet afternoon …

Qin Laowu raised his eyes and looked around, and he saw that the man was still still, he couldn’t help it anymore, “Brother, I have been staring here for two days, the woman rarely goes out, and the person with the most frequent contact is a chef in Fengle building, there is nothing suspicious about her.

The implication is: since there is nothing suspicious, do you think the Prince should be placed …

The man next to him was taller than Qin Laowu. He pressed the cap of the cloak extremely low, revealing only half of his face below, and because his face was like a beard lined with knives and guns, he could not see his age at all. I feel that this person is very powerful, and very ferocious!

“There was only one person in the Dark Guard of the Highness who escaped. She was a young woman of unknown origin, but was able to live peacefully under Liao Bing’s eyelids for more than a month …” Big Beard’s voice was very low, revealing a sense of power.

Qin Lao Wu thought about it and said, “Maybe it was because the garrison of Liao Kingdom arrived in Renqiu City at the beginning of the chaos. She was lucky to get into the city, not to mention a weak female, who is patient enough to check she was?”

“What you said makes sense, but … can you send information and confirm that she is not a spy from Liao people?”

Qin Laowu choked, how could he dare to take responsibility for the intel?

Hua Qingxue does have an unusual background, but they are not sure whether the unusual background has anything to do with the Liao people.

Big Beard’s voice remained calm, “Even if you dare to pack the ticket, I can’t take the risk easily. His Majesty the Emperor is critically ill, and the prince is trapped in the territory of the Liao Bing.”

Qin Laowu couldn’t help shivering.

“Could we wait forever? What if she never shows flaws?” At the moment, Qin Laowu had imagined Hua Qingxue as an enemy spy.

Big Beard shook his head gently, “The emperor is running out of time. We can’t wait. We will find a chance to try her as soon as possible.”

Qin Laowu looked at him somewhat blankly, “… Brother, how do you try?”

Big Beard was about to say the last thing, suddenly suffocated, quickly gave Qin Laowu a silent gesture!

–someone is coming!

Who is it?

Qin Laowu covered the figure with the debris piled in the alley, and looked out. I saw two men wearing Liaobing Uniforms not far away, coming to see the posture, apparently running here .

“This girl! It’s really a Liao dog!” Qin Laowu raised his heart with a bad breath, and wished he could rush into the yard and pinch Hua Qingxue to death!

Big Beard’s eyes narrowed, his voice lowered, “… Look again.”

I can’t complain that they think so. It is because the prince’s special status is not the jurisdiction of Daqi. Who would be willing to take care of Li Jingnan in this way? I’m afraid I would have told the Prince’s whereabouts to the officers and soldiers of the Liao Kingdom in exchange for the silver and silk. If you could gain the recognition of the people of Liao, be given another chance, why would anyone choose to suffer silently?

In this way of thinking, either Li Jingnan really bumped into a pure person, or Hua Qingxue stood beside the prince.

They did not know that Hua Qingxue was rescued by Li Jingnan at the time of her amnesia. In this world, the person she is most familiar with is Li Jingnan. Naturally, she will not like the idea of being alone. Not to mention, Hua Qingxue’s values and this world’s were different. The idea that she could exchange an eight-year-old child for wealth, was something she could not do.

The two Liaobing soldiers walked outside the door of Hua Qingxue’s courtyard before stopping. One of them looked around, and seemed to be sure if he had found the right place.

How would Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan know the situation outside? Li Jingnan was bending deeply, reaching his head into the basin, and Hua Qingxue stood beside him washing his hair.

Li Jingnan’s hair grew beautifully. It was dark and dense, and it was only as long as the upper arm. It was not troublesome to wash, but there was no so-called fragrant soap, which was inconvenient in the end. After using the rice water, it should be rinsed again and again, in order to remove the smell of rice water.

Hua Qingxue took the water scoop and poured hot water onto Li Jingnan’s head.

Somehow, a few fragments of memory appeared in her head—

In her memory, she saw herself in her young age and sat in the classroom and asked the teacher: “ The human trunk, limbs, and hair skin are all given by parents. To not be damaged or disabled, that is the beginning of practising filial piety. This ancient person did not cut her hair all her life, how long should that hair be? The longest hair in the Guinness Book of World Records is more than six meters. If the ancients did not cut their hair for a lifetime…Wow! More than six meters! Didn’t they think their heads were heavy? ”

The whole class laughed, and the teacher laughed, and then told her that the ancients had haircuts. Moreover, there were professional hairdressers in the earliest Han Dynasty. By the Song and Ming Dynasties, the hairdressing industry had become very mature, not only could you get a haircut, you could also set your head on your side.

As for the body’s skin, one would not dare to, as the beginning of filial piety also meant to dare not damage your own body.. Pay attention to the “dare not damage” here. The hair repair and hairdressing are for maintaining and caring for your hair. There is no such thing as “damage”

The teacher also said that in ancient times, children can shave and cut their hair. For example, the entire head is shaved, leaving only a pinch of hair in the middle, or tie the vertical hair into two knots, and tie the hair into a bun on the top of the head. Therefore, the term “twin buns” is also used to refer to the human childhood stage, and it will not begin to accumulate until about twelve.

Hua Qingxue held his long wet hair in his hand and continued to rinse it with warm water.

Obviously, Li Jingnan has already started to accumulate early.

Hua Qingxue secretly guessed, perhaps because he was born in the royal family, to protect the royal dignity?

Speaking of that, Li Jingnan not only had early hair, but also very early enlightenment. The children of ordinary people were enlightened at the age of eight, and some of the children of the official family were some five or six years old, but Li Jingnan was enlightened at the age of four.

Thinking this way, Hua Qingxue inevitably felt a little bit distressed for him …

Thinking wildly, Li Jingnan tugged at her skirt, “Hey! What did you laugh just now?”

Hua Qingxue stared, “How do you know I was laughing?”

She just thought about what Li Jingnan would look like when she combed her “twin bun” hairstyle, and she smiled slightly, but she didn’t make a sound.

“If you smile, the water on my head will shake three times! Can you concentrate on it?” Xiao Jingnan complained.

Hua Qingxue was speechless for a moment.

Why are you so clever …

She put down the gourd scoop and took a dry cloth to help Li Jingnan wipe her hair.

At this time, knocks came from outside the door.

Hua Qingxue didn’t think much, thinking that it was Rong Sheng to pick up his clothes, so he threw the dry cloth to Li Jingnan and walked toward the courtyard door.

As soon as the door was opened, it was actually two strong men wearing soldier uniforms!

Hua Qingxue was stunned at the door!

——Li Jingnan ’s identity was discovered?

——Or is it something that caused me trouble?

——Is it possible to hide Li Jingnan now?

——But if it wasn’t for Li Jingnan, wouldn’t it be suspicious?

In only a moment, Hua Qingxue had already engaged in dozens of back and forth in the heart!

One of the soldiers has already said: “Are you a Chinese lady?”

Hua Qingxue was in a daze, and he didn’t respond for a long time. The soldier’s expression was obviously impatient. Hua Qingxue nodded vigorously immediately, his face panicked.

The soldiers were just sent here, and he had a grudge when he left his hometown. He used to be bullying in Renqiu and bullying the people for fun. Hua Qingxue ’s fear obviously pleased him. Unexpectedly it was a pretty little lady … “

While talking, he grabbed Hua Qingxue’s hand and rubbed it.

—— A tingle made Hua Qingxue recover!

Her hands were swollen like buns, and she didn’t dare to use force while washing Li Jingnan’s hair. How can she bear the rubbing? !

The soldiers did not feel a smooth and fragrant touch. When he looked down, he saw that Hua Qingxue’s hand was red and swollen, the abscess was cracked, and he suddenly lost his interest. He threw away Hua Qingxue’s hand.

The other soldier was very dissatisfied with his companion. He spoke a bunch of words, and then raised a bundle of clothes and threw them.

This person didn’t speak Chinese, Hua Qingxue didn’t understand a sentence, but she immediately heard Liao Bing touching her small hand with a gruff voice: “I know, I know, I can’t do a poor job.”

After he finished speaking, he lifted the things in his arms to Hua Qingxue’s eyes and asked: “I heard that you can wash the blood stains. Can this also be washed?”
