Fu Tong'er said nothing, turned around and said, "It's so cold, just surround yourself with some rocks. There are weeds in the cave, so just make do for one night. I'll go back to my motherland tomorrow. Take care, my lord."
Looking at the calm eighteen-year-old girl beside me, I suddenly had the illusion that she was not only eighteen years old. This attitude and tone of not replying and not rejecting made her sound like a seasoned lover.
"Are you really only 18 years old?" Zhu Quanran asked, then raised his other arm for her to hold.
Fu Tong'er was startled and stood there in a daze, then continued to climb the stairs: "Go and check. If I am one year older, you will take my last name."
"..." Zhu Quanran was choked by her words. This little girl was truly unique, so good at confronting people. Her personality was in stark contrast to her appearance. Perhaps this was why the Regent Prince of Dayan liked her. If he married her and kept her by his side, she would be sometimes as quiet as a fairy, sometimes playful and cute, sometimes aggressive and aggressive, and sometimes as cool as ice. It would be really interesting to think about it.
However, this sentence always makes me feel a little strange. How would most people respond to this question?
"Nonsense, of course I'm eighteen."
"Otherwise, if it's not eighteen, then how many years old is it?"
“…”
Zhu Quanran thought of several possible responses from other girls, and then he thought about Fu Tonger's words again, and suddenly he understood!
"Who are you?"
After hearing this, Fu Tong'er was stunned and stopped. Then she smiled faintly and said, "I am who I am, absolutely genuine."
"No, you're not. A normal person wouldn't answer like that. You're fake, right? Where's the real person?"
Fu Tong'er laughed: "You're crazy, what's real or fake? I am who I am. If you don't believe me, you can check my family and background. Ask them to recognize me. I promise that I am the real me!"
There are only two souls in her body. One is the Fu Tong'er of this era, and the other is the Fu Tong'er of the present. By chance, her soul was transported into this body when she was rescued by Jiu Ye and put on the carriage.
"Tell me about Master Jiu." Fu Tong'er waved her hands. It was nice to miss someone like this. "I want to hear it. Okay, Master?"
The two had returned to the cave entrance. Under the moonlight, Zhu Quanran lifted up the vines, found a few stones, piled them up, and then grabbed some miscellaneous weeds and piled them in the middle. He blew out the tinder and lit them.
The two of them sat by the fire, Fu Tong'er warming her hands and saying, "Could it be that the prince said that on purpose to sow discord between me and Master Jiu?"
Zhu Quanran sat next to Fu Tong'er, poking the flames with branches and adding weeds to the fire. His expression no longer had the frivolous look he had when they first met, only seriousness remained.
"Your sweetheart is the best at using espionage techniques."
"I know he's great with a sword, otherwise how could he fight?"
Zhu Quanran said, "His swordsmanship is another matter. What I'm talking about is the art of espionage. Whether it's a spy he trained or an enemy spy, once he gets his hands on them, he will use them to his advantage."
"Is it so powerful?" Fu Tong'er's eyes lit up, but she felt something was wrong, so she pretended to turn back and continue warming her hands, but her face turned red unconsciously.
Zhu Quanran felt uncomfortable watching her sudden change. After a moment's thought, he continued, "Many smaller nations know that the Regent Prince of Dayan is an expert in using spies. He once captured Xiancheng, a crucial city of Zhao, in a single night. This was all thanks to his crucial counter-espionage strategy! He used the spies sent by Zhao to his side, turning them against him, and was able to easily capture Xiancheng, a crucial city of Zhao."
Fu Tong'er smiled, secretly thinking that Jiu Ye was very powerful, and her face was even hot from the heat.
Zhu Quanran continued, "In one night, Xiancheng was massacred. Blood flowed like a river within the city. Men, women, young and old were all killed. Officials and their families were beheaded and displayed to the public. In one night, Xiancheng became a city of the dead. His deeds of massacre spread throughout the world. Aren't you afraid?"
Fu Tong'er's face, originally filled with shy admiration, instantly turned as pale as the thick snow outside: "He, he wouldn't. He's always been very gentle to me. He only yelled at me once and apologized to me. He also helped me solve many problems and saved me many times. He wouldn't massacre the city or kill innocent people..."
Zhu Quanran smiled and said, "He won't? Little girl, how well do you know him? Do you know why everyone in your Great Yan is afraid of him? Do you know why other countries have not dared to attack your Great Yan for so many years? Your Regent Prince's reputation for cruelty has long been known far and wide."
Fu Tong'er looked at the fire and said, "He, he did that for a reason."
Zhu Quanran continued, "How much do you love him to say such things on his behalf? Your beloved was a murderous maniac during the war. After the fall of Xiancheng, the threat to Zhao was only just beginning."
"No, I won't allow you to say that to him. It's not easy for him either. He has two scars on his hands, and he was helpless during the war."
"Two scars?" Zhu Quanran asked, "Have you ever heard that when someone gets so angry that they cut themselves?"
