Chapter 172 Testing whether Zhang Yuncheng is a time traveler



After the last incident, Su Qian became more curious about Zhang Yuncheng's background, but she couldn't ask about Zhang Yuncheng in a high-profile manner.

So, Su Qian thought of Bai Ying.

Bai Ying was assigned to her by Yan Xuanye. Her personality was not as rigid as Lu Feng's, and she was quite easy to talk to.

Moreover, Su Qian could see that Bai Ying was also an ambitious person, and she also wanted to work hard to earn a good future for herself.

Unfortunately, Cuiwei was the maid she trusted the most and was closest to, and Lu Feng had the most say in front of her. There was only Bai Ying, who was stuck in the middle and was the most embarrassed.

"Bai Ying, come here for a moment."

Bai Ying, who was waiting on the side, paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and asked, "What do you want, Princess?"

"I have something I want to entrust to you."

Bai Ying glanced in the direction of Cuiwei, feeling a little suspicious but secretly happy at the same time.

Is the princess finally going to use me?

Previously, because Cuiwei came to serve the princess before her, the princess was always reluctant to use her, but today she suddenly said that she had something to entrust to her.

Su Qian added: "If you do it well, there will be a reward."

Bai Ying said with great joy, "Princess, please speak."

"I want you to help me investigate a person. Find out everything about his family background, parents, personality, what he likes to do, and who he often interacts with."

"Your Highness and Lu Feng must not know about this, nor can anyone else. Do you understand?"

Bai Ying nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will definitely see to it."

"Go ahead."

"Yes." Bai Ying bowed and walked out.

"Princess, why don't you tell me to do it?" Cuiwei asked.

Su Qian took a sip of tea and said, "You are not suitable for this."

"You are mine. Yan Xuanye is wary of you. No matter what you do, he will have people find out."

"Bai Ying is different. She was originally someone he arranged to be by my side. I don't usually assign Bai Ying to do things because they all know that I don't want to use Bai Ying.

Even if I arranged for Bai Ying to do this today, they wouldn't think it was me who asked Bai Ying to do it for a while."

Cuiwei thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. The princess is really thoughtful."

Su Qian waited boredly for two days before Bai Ying found out Zhang Yuncheng's background.

Bai Ying had a delighted smile on her face, probably because she was happy that she had completed the task she was asked to do. "I have checked and found out that this Zhang Yuncheng is the son of Zhang Congtai, the captain of the city gate."

"His background is simple. He learned martial arts from his father, Zhang Congtai, from a young age. Because he was extremely talented in martial arts and could easily learn any moves, he became very famous in Qingzhou City."

"But that's where the weirdness lies. Ten months ago, during a horse archery competition, the horse suddenly got startled and threw him off its back. He was injured and passed out. He lay in bed for two days before waking up, but after waking up, he was like a completely different person."

Su Qian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How did you become a different person?"

"Zhang Yuncheng, who was originally very talented in martial arts, forgot everything after waking up from his coma. Not only can he not use a single spear or sword, he can't even protect himself. It's as if he had never learned martial arts before."

"Not only that, something even stranger is coming." Bai Ying said in a very mysterious tone.

Su Qian and Cui Wei both became interested and asked, "What?"

"This Zhang Yuncheng has actually become interested in reading, something he wasn't interested in before. Not only does he enjoy reading, he also enjoys delving into strange and bizarre books."

"Originally, his father Zhang Congtai thought that his love of reading was a good thing, and he wanted him to prepare well and take the imperial examination the year after.

But Zhang Yuncheng seemed to have lost his mind. He was unwilling to study the Four Books and Five Classics, nor did he want to take the imperial examinations. He only liked to read those unorthodox books and preached about equality and other ideas everywhere.

Bai Ying scratched her temples a little embarrassedly. "I have forgotten the specific content. It sounds very difficult to understand. I am a rough person and don't understand these things."

Hearing this, Su Qian had a bold guess in his mind.

Could it be that this Zhang Yuncheng is really a time traveler like her?

"You mean, he suddenly became like this about ten months ago?"

Bai Ying: "Yes, it seems to be before the war between Nanchang Kingdom and Fengyuan Kingdom."

"Isn't his father Zhang Congtai the captain of the city gate? I heard that he originally wanted Zhang Yuncheng to participate in that battle, but unfortunately, because of this incident, Zhang Yuncheng became an ordinary person with no ability, so Zhang Congtai had to give up the idea."

About ten months ago?

When she traveled to this era, it was summer, and now it is spring of the second year, so the time is roughly the same.

Moreover, why was it such a coincidence? He also fell off his horse, and his temperament suddenly changed drastically, as if he had become a completely different person.

Su Qian decided to verify it himself.

If Zhang Yuncheng is really a time traveler, then she is not the only time traveler in this world, and she doesn't have to be so worried. At least there is someone she can chat and confide in.

Yes, that's it.

After lunch, Su Qian specially brought a bowl of homemade milk tea to Zhang Yuncheng's bookstore. Perhaps this bowl of milk tea could verify whether he was a time traveler.

Seeing her coming, the waiter in the bookstore was obviously excited, "Princess, you are here again?"
