Chapter 119: Investigating the root cause, Xiaolan mentioned the treasure map
Since Xiaolan made such a request, Qin Shaobai had no reason to go to the three adults to discuss military affairs that he considered extremely important.
He also wanted to reject Xiaolan, but looking at Xiaolan's pitiful eyes and thinking about everything Xiaolan had done to him in the past few days, he really couldn't say no.
The most important thing is that the history of Dali Kingdom suddenly appeared in his mind.
Dali, a small border country located in the southwest of the Song Dynasty, was established before the Song Dynasty and its national power was once prosperous. However, because the kings of each dynasty believed in Buddhism, civil wars continued in the country. As a result, the national power became increasingly declining, and it was unable to attack at all.
The Song Dynasty expanded its territory.
However, in the Song Dynasty, there was a rule that "the Song Dynasty wields its jade ax and does not conquer Yunnan". From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, there was never any thought of occupying Dali.
Because of this, Dali and the Song Dynasty were able to live in peace with each other.
Qin Shaobai believes that Duan Zhilan must also understand these rules.
Duan Zhilan would definitely not encourage Dali to send its troops south just because he had this terrifying mantra illusion.
What's more, Duan Zhilan has long been removed from the Duan clan of Dali. Strictly speaking, she is no longer part of the royal family of Dali.
Naturally, Qin Shaobai would not tell Xiaolan this, but he held her hand solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity. During this period, you will protect me and help me.
In the days to come, I will do my best to help you and protect you."
Xiaolan raised her eyes and met Qin Shaobai's sincere eyes. Thinking about the way he couldn't help calling her in the illusion, she suddenly felt that all the hard work during these days was worth it.
She remembered what her mother said.
"Lan'er, don't be greedy for any martial arts secrets, don't be greedy for fame and wealth, if there is a man by your side who treats you wholeheartedly, your life will be complete."
Quietly looking at the man in front of her, feeling the warmth brought by his hands, she couldn't help but throw herself into Qin Shaobai's arms.
Qin Shaobai was stunned for a moment. He didn't know where to put his hands. He couldn't hug or dodge. He was really at a loss.
"What a couple, they are cuddling and hugging each other in front of the public at a time when they are not even worth a fortune. It is really degrading and immoral."
The voice was crisp, but full of anger.
In shock, Qin Shaobai quickly pulled Xiaolan behind him, as if he could protect Xiaolan.
After taking a closer look, Jin Zhaoning Zhengfeng's eyes were wide and he was glaring at them angrily.
Jin Zhaoning's eyes were full of tears, turning and turning, just to prevent them from falling.
"Zhao Ning, why haven't you left Nanyang County yet?" Qin Shaobai asked anxiously, already running towards Jin Zhaoning, holding her hand tightly, with a worried look on his face, "You don't know, your current status is not at all
Is it suitable to stay here?”
"My current identity? What is my current identity? The Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty are still protected by the peace agreement. There are countless Jin people in Nanyang County. Why can't I stay here?"
Qin Shaobai heard Jin Zhaoning's full of resentment. He was really angry and annoyed. Couldn't Jin Zhaoning see that she was in a precarious situation now?
Xiaolan also said just now that Bi Zaiyu seemed to have recognized Mo Qing, and the person who could be protected by Mo Qing must be related to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.
Then Xiaolan told him another piece of bad news. Xiaolan seemed to have accidentally told Bi Zaiyu that Jin Zhaoning was back.
Based on Bi Zaiyu's experience, he would definitely be able to guess that Jin Zhaoning was the member of the Jin Kingdom's royal family that Mo Qing wanted to protect, the Princess Jinhua who had been resurrected from the dead.
The Song and Jin Dynasties are indeed protected by the peace agreement, but because of the shame of Jingkang, the people of the Song Dynasty have a deep-seated dislike of the Jin Dynasty.
Ordinary Jin people had a difficult life in the Song Dynasty, let alone the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.
Not to mention Bi Zaiyu, even if the common people knew that Jin Zhaoning was Princess Jinhua, they would definitely attack her in groups, and they would never let Jin Zhaoning live as carefree as before.
Qin Shaobai had no way to talk to Jin Zhaoning about these worries. He naturally knew that Jin Zhaoning was completely different from other women, especially a sensible woman like Xiaolan.
If Jin Zhaoning feels that what she is doing is right, she will not listen to anyone's advice, even if that person is Jin Zhaoning's favorite person.
Seeing Qin Shaobai just looking at her without saying a word.
Moreover, worry suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then turned into anxiety. For a moment, he could read a little bit of dissatisfaction. Jin Zhaoning really felt that he could hardly control the anger in his heart.
She had already decided to leave Nanyang County. Originally, she wanted Mo Qing to come to Wangxianglou to make one last effort.
But by some mistake, she thought she might meet Qin Shaobai at Wangxiang Tower, so she ordered Mo Qing to make preparations to leave, and arrived at Wangxiang Tower alone.
Qin Shaobai saw her, but it was Qin Shaobai who was holding Xiaolan in his arms, it was Qin Shaobai who was talking sweet words to Xiaolan, but it was Qin Shaobai who complained that she shouldn't stay as soon as he saw her.
Look again, the girl Xiaolan who is protected by Qin Shaobai behind her, she is smiling, she is smiling extremely sweetly.
She looked at herself with a smile, smiling disdainfully like a winner looking at a loser.
Jin Zhaoning only felt that her teeth were extremely itchy. When she bit them gently, they turned into a sour taste, which actually made the corners of her eyes sore, and she could no longer control the tears in her eyes.
"Zhaoning." Qin Shaobai shouted, wanting to hold Jin Zhaoning in his arms and wipe away his tears with his own hands.
Before he could take action, Jin Zhaoning had already flicked his hand away, swayed, turned around and flew out of Wangxiang Tower.
Qin Shaobai didn't even have time to shout, and watched Jin Zhaoning disappear into the night.
He stayed for a while and finally turned around.
"Xiaolan, let's go, the two children are waiting for us."
Xiaolan stood still, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
"Xiaolan, what are you thinking about?"
"Brother Qin, why do you think Jin Zhaoning still wants to go back to Wangxianglou?"
Qin Shaobai wanted to say that Jin Zhaoning might want to see him one last time.
This separation may be forever.
After all these years, who can know whether the future will be a surprise or a shock.
Thinking about it, Qin Shaobai became sentimental, stopped looking at Xiaolan, and walked out slowly.
"Brother Qin, if Jin Zhaoning wants to see you, she should go to the Qin Mansion or the county government office. She couldn't have known beforehand that you were led to Wangxiang Tower by my mother and I, so I can conclude that he was not here for
You come."
Qin Shaobai thought about it carefully and realized that what Xiaolan said made sense and stopped.
But he was still very confused. Since Jin Zhaoning didn't want to see him, what else in Nanyang County was worthy of Jin Zhaoning's night trip to Wangxiang Tower?
"Brother Qin, have you ever heard of a legend?" Xiaolan asked suddenly.
"What kind of legend is it?"
Qin Shaobai has become accustomed to Xiaolan surprising him from time to time. What's more, all he thinks about now is Jin Zhaoning who left aggrievedly.
Therefore, although Xiaolan's tone was very serious, he just asked lightly.
What does the legend of the Song Dynasty have to do with a modern man like him?
"Brother Qin, there is a rumor in the world that the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty asked Qin Tianjian to predict the fate of the Song Dynasty, saying that there would be a day when the Song Dynasty would move south, so the founding emperor shipped a large amount of jewelry to the south in advance.
Hidden somewhere.”
After a short pause, Xiaolan added: "In order to make it easier for the descendants of the Zhao family to find the treasure, the emperor asked someone to hand-draw a treasure map, and this treasure map is most likely to be in Wangxiang Tower."
