Wen Yu looked down at the sword, then looked at Jiang Qi, then threw the sword away and grabbed his hand.
Jiang Qi: ...
The moment Jiang Qi was held, his body stiffened uncontrollably, and an indescribable numbness climbed up the back of his hand.
The terrible feeling frightened him so much that he turned around immediately and tried to pull his hand out.
I thought Wen Yu was holding on tightly and it would be difficult to pull out, and his reaction was a bit big, so I used some force.
However, he didn't expect that Wen Yu didn't hold it very tightly. As soon as he pulled his hand away, Wen Yu let go of it quickly and neatly.
Jiang Qi, on the other hand, couldn't stand steadily. He staggered and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Jiang Qi: ...
Wen Yu was surprised and teased, "What's wrong with you? Why haven't you stood still? Your chassis is not practiced enough, you need to work harder, this won't do, how can a young person do this?"
Jiang Qi felt an inexplicable embarrassment when he heard this. He put his fist to his lips and coughed, pretending nothing happened. He handed the sword to her again, "Princess, please hold on tight. I will take you back."
At this time, the Dali Temple detectives who had been running all the way finally arrived.
"The Dali Temple is handling a case, everyone else please stay out of the way!"
"The Dali Temple is handling a case, and outsiders should stay away... Sir!"
The leading constable saw Jiang Qi and immediately stepped forward and said, "Didn't you go chasing someone, sir?"
Jiang Qi glanced at Wen Yu and said in a deep voice, "Leave the pursuit to the Imperial Guards. You are responsible for evacuating the crowd in Lin'an Street first. It's too crowded. We must avoid a stampede."
The constable received the order and then quickly assigned the task.
Wen Yu asked curiously, "The Imperial Guards and the Dali Temple have both been dispatched. Who are you trying to capture?"
Jiang Qi cleared the way and escorted Wen Yu all the way to the entrance of Lin'an Street, while answering: "The emperor suddenly ordered me to secretly investigate whether there are any spies in Shengjing City..."
"Wait." Wen Yu raised an eyebrow, "Did your royal brother suddenly order a search for spies today?"
Jiang Qi nodded: "Yes, a sudden order."
Liu Chun whispered in his ear, "Princess, I'm afraid it was only after Liu Qiu reported the matter of Cui Xin that His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation."
Wen Yu nodded. After all, he had sneaked into the princess's mansion, which showed how deeply he had infiltrated. It was understandable that the emperor's brother was anxious to find the spies.
"And then what? Did you find out? Was the man you were chasing a spy?"
Jiang Qi pondered and said, "After receiving the order, I made a secret visit in Shengjing City, and I actually discovered a strange person."
"How strange is it?" Wen Yu asked.
"Ordinary people may not find it strange, but I find it strange after observing it."
Wen Yu: "...You said something nonsense, you know that? This princess asked you how weird you are, you just need to answer how weird you are."
Jiang Qi: ...
"I found this person at the Fulai Inn during my undercover visit. She was dressed like a blind girl and her clothes were very ordinary. It wasn't a strange thing. It just happened that the waiter didn't hold the dish steady and almost spilled it on her. But she seemed to have eyes and moved away. The stability of her exposed bottom at that moment caught my attention."
Wen Yu listened and picked out the key point: "Blind girl?"
"She's not a blind girl, she's pretending to be blind." Jiang Qi said, "It's even possible that she's not a woman at all."
Wen Yu was surprised: "Not a woman? But whether it's a man dressed as a woman or a woman dressed as a man, it's obvious, okay? As long as you're not blind, you can tell at a glance. You can just fool yourself."
Jiang Qi heard this and said, "Princess, have you ever heard of the art of disguise and the art of shrinking bones?"
Wen Yu:……?
"Is there really such a thing?"
"Yes, but the requirements are extremely strict. A disguised face is extremely valuable, and people who have mastered the art of shrinking bones are even rarer. But it does exist."
Wen Yu touched her chin and said, "So you think that person is a man dressed as a woman, using disguise and bone shrinking skills?"
"I dare not conclude it completely, but I can say it is 80% certain." Jiang Qi continued, "After that, I followed the blind girl all the time. She was very quick-witted and seemed to realize that I was following her. She simply stopped pretending and wanted to get rid of me, so she exposed her skills. It was because of her skills that I suspected she was a man dressed as a woman."
After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he saw Wen Yu's face full of curiosity and expectation: "Where can I buy the mask for disguise?"
Jiang Qi: ...
"Princess, why do you ask about such filthy things?"
"Because I'm a country bumpkin, I've never seen the legendary disguise, I want to see it for myself." Wen Yu said, "Next time I will disguise myself as the emperor's younger brother and stand at the head of his bed to scare him. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
Jiang Qi: ...
Jiang Qi had an indescribable expression on his face when he heard this. "Princess... you... that's it. When have you ever been so interested in studying? Others would study so hard that they would forget to eat and sleep..."
Wen Yu blinked: "Forget about food and sleep? If you separate these four words, they all refer to me, but if you put them together, they have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Wen Yu counted on her fingers: "Waste, I am waste, sleep, I love to sleep, forget, I turn my head and forget things, food, I love delicious food. But when I close them, only they recognize me, I don't recognize them anymore."
Jiang Qi: ...
"Master Jiang, I think there is another phrase that better suits me than studying day and night. Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Qi: "...You say."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "I am more suitable for neglecting study and eating."
Jiang Qi: ...
"Princess... this idea is not right. If people don't study..."
Wen Yu continued: "If a person doesn't study, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"
Jiang Qi was pleased when he heard this: "Princess, you are absolutely right."
Wen Yu added: "But have you ever thought that some people just want to be a salted fish?"
"Princess, you are wrong. I think, since you are a salted fish, how can you not want to turn over a new leaf?"
Wen Yu tilted her head when she heard this, and asked in confusion, "But Lord Jiang, isn't a salted fish still a salted fish after it turns over? Can it become an abalone? Even if it really turns into an abalone, what does it matter? Isn't it still a dish on the table? The only difference is that salted fish is pickled, and abalone can be cooked in various ways."
"In the end, no matter it is salted fish or abalone, they are eaten by people, so what's wrong with being a salted fish? After all, as you said, everyone has different aspirations. Some people want to be salted fish, and some people want to be abalone, but you can't say that being a salted fish is wrong. Lord Jiang, don't you agree?"
Jiang Qi stood there in a daze.
