The next day, the genius was dawn. Lin Sishen had tossed and turned all night and stood up. She couldn't wait to find the maid Chen Qingwan mentioned. Since she was an insider, she must have known the truth behind the incident back then.
Although she had only been to Yixian Tower twice, Lin Sishen figured out the terrain, walked through the winding corridor, and then through the secluded and deep back garden. Following the wisp of blue smoke under the glimmer of light, she soon found the back kitchen.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, Lin Sishen was full of arms with the maid he had seen yesterday. The maid was holding a food box in her hand, as if she was planning to deliver breakfast.
But before dawn, the princess and Baiting Mountain should be resting, and there were no outsiders in the Yixian Building. She had prepared breakfast so early and was carrying a food box to deliver it, which was a bit strange.
When she saw Lin Sishen appear, the maid seemed a little surprised, but in a flash she came to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head to bow and bow: "I have seen Lord Lin."
Lin Sishen smiled, looked at her thoughtfully, then stepped forward and raised his hand and helped her, and said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be polite girl, get up quickly."
After she stood still, Lin Sishen casually glanced at the food box in her hand and asked with a smile: "Miss so early, is she going to deliver breakfast?"
The maid lowered her head and said respectfully: "Report to Lord Lin, this was what Mr. Bai ordered last night."
Lin Sishen nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "So that's it."
Seeing Lin Sishen blocking the gate of the courtyard and not planning to leave for the time being, the maid lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice: "If Lord Lin has an order, just call me to go, how can I bother you to come here in person?"
Lin Sishen glanced at her, flicked her sleeves and said leisurely: "I have nothing to do to give me, but I woke up a little early and just walked around."
After saying that, before she could reply, Lin Sishen smiled and asked, "Have you asked the girl's name yet?"
The maid kept her head down, which made people look down on her face: "I thanked the great man to be praised by me, and my servant's name is Meixiang."
Lin Sishen nodded and asked again: "Who is Miss Meixiang?"
Mei Xiang replied respectfully: "Report to the Lord, I am from Luzhou."
Lin Sishen felt aroused when he heard this, raised his hand and touched his smooth chin, pretending to think: "Luzhou...I have been there a few years ago, I don't know if the girl knows Fengming."
A faint light flashed through Mei Xiang's eyes and she whispered: "I left my hometown when I was young. Although I knew where Feng Ming was, I never went."
Lin Sishen sighed with some regret and loss: "Fengming is a good place. In the Yulin Army under my General Weiyuan Mansion, there are many soldiers from Fengming. They are brave and good at fighting and are ready to die. They are all good men who stand tall."
Mei Xiang was unmoved when she heard this, and just stood respectfully with her eyebrows down.
Then Lin Sishen asked a few more questions, and they were all talking nonsense. It sounded like they were talking casually when they were idle.
Mei Xiang didn't have to think about these questions carefully and answered them one by one, and she answered them calmly, and even her expression did not change at all.
But just as she relaxed her vigilance slightly, Lin Sishen suddenly looked solemn, his eyes suddenly became much darker, and he suddenly asked: "Miss Mei Xiang knows how to fist and foot?"
Mei Xiang's heart trembled, and she quickly raised her eyes to look at Lin Sishen, her face showed a little surprise. The next moment, she noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Sir, I am just a slave who doesn't know the identity of a big word. How can I understand fist and foot skills?"
Lin Sishen stared at her with his eyes narrowed, raised the corners of his lips and snorted coldly: "Is that right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sishen raised his hand unexpectedly and waved his palm to attack Mei Xiang's shoulder. Before Mei Xiang could react, she subconsciously retreated back and agilely avoided Lin Sishen's attack.
Lin Sishen withdrew his hand after just a test, stared at Mei Xiang who was a few steps away and said coldly: "You also said you don't understand kung fu."
After Mei Xiang stood still, her face turned pale and she hurriedly defended: "I have only learned some self-defense skills with others..."
But before she finished speaking, Lin Sishen suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Mei Xiang's wrist with his five fingers. This time Mei Xiang did not hide and stood there motionless.
Lin Sishen grabbed Mei Xiang's right hand and pulled it upwards, lowered his eyes and glanced at her palm, and then sneered again: "There are calluses on both sides of the tiger's mouth. How dare you say that you have only learned self-defense skills? This is obviously caused by holding a knife all year round."
Mei Xiang didn't expect Lin Sishen to suddenly attack. She said in a panic-looking voice: "I..."
But Lin Sishen didn't give her a chance to make excuses at all. Seeing that there was a black scar on Mei Xiang's wrist, she quickly raised her hand and lifted Mei Xiang's sleeves, and suddenly found a long old scar on her forearm.
The black scar winds up from the arms, long and wide, as if it was whipped.
When Lin Sishen saw the scar, his face changed suddenly and said in surprise: "Chain Knife."
Seeing that his identity was revealed, Mei Xiang gritted her teeth and whispered apologetically: "Little General, I'm sorry."
After saying that, Mei Xiang pulled her hand back violently. While Lin Sishen had not come to her senses, she raised her hand and pushed Lin Sishen on the shoulder. She was heartbroken and hurt Lin Sishen, so she just pushed her away a few steps.
Breaking free from the bondage, Mei Xiang immediately threw down the food box and jumped to the roof of the back kitchen.
After Lin Sishen staggered a few steps, he looked up at Mei Xiang who was standing on the roof and was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "Miss Mei Xiang, please stay. You should know why I came to find you. I have no malicious intentions..."
Mei Xiang turned around and looked at Lin Sishen, her calm eyes stirred up a little bit, and she said with a complicated expression: "Little General, there will be a date in the future."
Lin Sishen was about to chase after him, but suddenly, Shen Qingwan's cold call came from behind.
"Plum Xiang."
Lin Sishen and Mei Xiang turned around almost at the same time and looked at Shen Qingwan who was coming not far away.
Shen Qingwan was still wearing the fox fur yesterday. On her painting-like delicate face, she looked lonely and arrogant. Her eyes were quiet and deep like the distant deep sea. She only glanced at Mei Xiang, and Mei Xiang pursed her lips and drooped her head.
Seeing Mei Xiang stopping on the roof and not leaving, Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Shen Qingwan who was walking slowly.
As Shen Qingwan got closer, Lin Sishen soon discovered that her face seemed not very good, and her breath was a little slight, as if she was too tired and had no rest.
Shen Qingwan walked to Lin Sishen and stopped. She glanced at Lin Sishen lightly, then looked at Mei Xiang, slowly opened her lips and said, "Mei Xiang, you know her identity, and you should know that she has no malice towards you."
Mei Xiang frowned tightly, she looked at Chen Qingwan with a condescending look, and said with a complicated expression: "I know naturally, but... the princess clearly agreed to her adoptive father and would never reveal our whereabouts to the people of the general's mansion. Why did the princess break his promise?"
Chen Qingwan opened his lips lightly and said, "Your adoptive father has been hiding in the world for more than 20 years. Every day he is like a frightened bird, unable to sleep or eat and panic all day long. I think you know in your heart that if the matter is not settled, he may not be able to forgive himself until he dies. Do you really have the heart to bear it?"
Mei Xiang was silent for a while after hearing this, but she still jumped down from the roof. She gritted her teeth and looked sad and angry: "But... the princess knew that the matter was destined to be unable to be settled."
Before Chen Qingwan could speak, Lin Sishen, who was beside him, asked in a deep voice: "Your adoptive father is He Qin, are you talking about? "
Mei Xiang was very surprised: "How could the young general know about my adoptive father?"
Lin Sishen lowered his eyes and looked at Mei Xiang's right arm: "The scar on your hand was whipped when the iron chain knife was cut. He Qin, the former vanguard scout, was his own sword technique."
After saying that, Lin Sishen suddenly curled his lips and smiled bitterly: "My father often hangs him around."
The Pioneer Army scout He Qin is a rare genius in Lin Zheng's words, and is also the old friend Lin Zheng trusts and trusts the most.
He has rarely appeared in the army, often wandered in front of the formation to spy on military information, and never made any mistakes. The reason why Lin Zheng was not defeated in his life was that he was of great or small victory.
Not only is he skilled in light skills, he is also good at smelting weapons, and he created the chain knife himself.
In that battle, He Qin was ordered to spy on the enemy but did not come back for a long time. He even silenced after the war. The position of scout was the most dangerous and often never returned. Lin Zheng took it for granted that he had lost his head and did not know where he died.
There was only an elderly mother in He Qin's family. Later, Lin Zheng built a tomb for He Qin in Fengming and brought He Qin's mother to the capital to take care of her. However, the old man was weak and sick and suffered from the pain of losing his son. He passed away regretfully less than a year.
Mei Xiang and He Qin knew about these things, but they didn't expect that in the past so many years, even Lin Sishen, who had never seen He Qin, knew about such a "dead person".
Mei Xiang felt a little ashamed, so she didn't dare to look up at Lin Sishen, but turned her head and sighed in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the old general had even mentioned his adoptive father to the young general."
Lin Sishen took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle He, he should be in Yixianlou."
Mei Xiang was a little hesitant. She didn't speak for a long time and looked up at Chen Qingwan from time to time.
Chen Qingwan didn't speak anymore, but just looked at Mei Xiang quietly with a calm expression. Her clear eyes were not angry but with a hint of oppression, which made Mei Xiang hesitate even more.
After being silent for a long time, Mei Xiang closed her eyes and raised her head and sighed helplessly, saying, "This day is coming after all."
Chen Qingwan raised his chin gently when he heard this, and opened his mouth lightly and said lightly: "Don't say much, let's lead the way."
Mei Xiang had no choice but to nod her head with a heavy expression, slowly walked to the two of them, lowered her eyes and whispered: "Princess, please follow me."
After saying that, she leaned over and picked up the food box on the ground and walked straight out of the yard.
Seeing Chen Qingwan walking out with Mei Xiang, Lin Sishen took two steps at three steps and followed Chen Qingwan. She turned her head and looked at Chen Qingwan's face, and then stopped saying, "Thank you, Princess."
Chen Qingwan's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "This is what I should do, you don't have to be so polite."
