Chapter 10 Changes in the General's Mansion
She was shocked by her back to Qin Si's figure, and her eyes turned around were full of surprise. The surprise had invisibly answered Qin Si, which also made her more sure that today's thing was the same.
If Qi Zhongtian wants to strengthen his relationship with the Qin Dynasty, he does not need to take her to the barracks at all, which will only make the imperial soldiers who are dissatisfied with the Qin family have more complaints, which is of no benefit to the cooperation between the two sides. In particular, a small soldier was punished for her today.
These things seem to contradict each other, but they seem to have some indescribable meaning.
"Why do you ask this?" Qin Chaoding looked at Qin Si with a little more defense in his eyes. Qin Si's heart was amazed, and then he shook his head.
The silent study echoed with the heavy sigh of the Qin Dynasty. He came forward and put away his general's anger and whispered, "A Li, don't blame Dad for worrying. It's just that the situation in the court is changing. If you win or lose in a day, it can easily make you doomed. Dad doesn't want to hurt you."
"Dad, it's a little dangerous. A Li wants to stand beside you. Instead of hiding behind you." Qin Si noticed that there was some struggle in the final words of the Qin Dynasty and showed his intention.
Leaving the study, Qin Si did not go back to his room, but went to Su Liyuan, who was retreating in the backyard. Looking from afar, Su Liyuan stood in front of the house and held his head high. The cold and unparalleled figure made Qin Si suppress tears for a day. Her crying became louder and louder, and the emptiness of the backyard wrapped the tears.
Su Liyuan knew that the person who came was Qin Si and never looked back, but he waited for a long time until the louder and louder crying. The man who shrugged his shoulders against the tree trunk touched a soft place in his heart. Once, there was a woman who cried like this in front of him...
"Ali, don't cry."
He jumped to Qin Si's side, and Su Liyuan patted Qin Si on the back.
Under this comfort, Qin Si gradually calmed down, and his inexplicable familiarity with Su Liyuan became more turbulent. She has never cried in front of others, even her father, but just at the moment she saw Su Liyuan, she was guided by some indescribable feelings and loosened all her defenses.
Seeing that Qin Si stopped crying, Su Liyuan smiled, and there was a faint fold in the corners of his eyes: "What happened?"
This question made Qin Si suddenly enlightened. Yes, she couldn't understand the situation, but Master must be able to understand it. Thinking of this, Qin Si no longer delayed and told the story of going to the barracks today, and every time Qin Si said something, Su Liyuan's face was ugly.
Looking at Su Liyuan's serious look, the smile on Qin Si's lips restrained.
"Master, A Li doesn't understand this game more and more." Qin Si frowned. She did not shy away from telling Su Liyuan the current situation, but did not say a word about the Qin Dynasty's choice and her prediction of the future.
Su Liyuan's mind moved and understood seven points. He thought that the third prince was "useful and defensive" against the Qin family, but his apprentice was destined to be sad...
He, who was never willing to participate in the court battle, did not point out about it, but this matter concerns Qin Si, and he can't help mentioning it, so Su Liyuan said, "You can listen to General Qin's words in the future. Naturally, the father will not hurt you.
This is a little reasonable. Since the Qin Dynasty did not want her to get too close to the third prince, and she also wanted to use this to dilute the contradiction with the prince's side, it's better to follow the words. For Qi Zhongtian, she trusts emotionally, but today's use also makes her more rational.
Adjusting his mentality, Qin Si nodded and smiled, "Master, I know."
That smile made Su Liyuan lose his mind for a moment, and even Qin Si didn't know when he would leave.
Soon, the story of General Qin's daughter going to the Yulin Army Flying Tiger Camp with the third prince Qi Zhongtian spread, which made the Qin Dynasty, who heard the news, more worried in anger.
He ordered Qin Si to be banned from leaving the house without permission. Qin Si was also happy to stay in the house to learn from his master, but it was a pity that she could not see the grand occasion of this tribute banquet.
There were only her and Su Liyuan in the house, which avoided many false gifts. Qin Si cooked a pot of fragrant tea in the yard in the afternoon and killed Su Liyuan on the chessboard.
"A Li, look at why this son fell here?" Su Liyuan asked deliberately when he fell from the dead door surrounded by Bai Zi.
Qin Si's eyes fell on the mottled chessboard. The three white pieces were obviously the trend of the tiger's mouth, and there were no chess pieces around him that could solve the dilemma. The black pieces fell here, which was obviously looking for his own death. She looked up suspiciously at Su Liyuan, and then looked down at those pieces, looking for a way to die.
"Master, you once said that the purpose of often seeking death is to 'go to death and live', but this one has no way to do it at all?"
Qin Si looked at it for a long time and couldn't find any flaws, or this one was wrong from the beginning.
The chessboard in front of him was destroyed, and Su Liyuan put away the chess pieces one by one. The sound of his fingers plucking the chess pieces aroused Qin Si's inexplicable irritability.
"A Li, the tribute banquet has passed and is about to leave as a teacher. If one day, you can figure out what happened just now, and you will know what to do in the future.
"Master, are you leaving?" Qin Si saw the intention of leaving in his eyes and knew that he could not stay, but he couldn't help asking.
Su Liyuan tapped his head and stood up. His temples were blown to his shoulder: "It has been a banquet since ancient times. If you are predestined, you will naturally see each other again."
After saying that, Su Liyuan took out a thin bamboo tube from his arms. Qin Si put it on his hand and weighed it. The bamboo tube was heavy and there was no hollow in the middle.
"Is this the token given by Master to Ali?" Qin Si raised the bamboo tube, which was all blue without any flaws. There was only a circular arc that seemed to be scratched around the tube.
"This is my unique signal. If you twist along the scratch, the signal will be sent. I can see it anywhere. However, you have to remember that it is only available at the time of life and death.
Listening to Su Liyuan's instructions, Qin thought about what he should send to him, so he got up and ran to Su Liyuan and said, "Master, A Li also has something to give you."
Qin Si stretched out his hand and pulled it between his neck, and a red brocade rope was exposed. The lower end of the brocade rope was a light red blood jade, and there was a gold lock strung with thin threads next to the blood jade. Qin Si's hand was clever, and the golden lock was opened. She took off the golden lock and handed it to Su Liyuan: "Master, A Li has been carrying this golden lock and can keep it safe."
But Su Liyuan's eyes kept staring on Qin Si's neck, and he didn't come back until Qin Si shook the gold lock in front of his eyes.
"Hmm." Su Liyuan nodded, took the golden lock and went back to the room.
Put away the bamboo tube, and Qin Si also returned to his room.
At night, three things happened in the general's mansion.
The first one is that Su Liyuan left without saying goodbye. During the dinner, the servants delivered the food to the backyard, but no one answered in the room. By the time they pushed the door and entered, there was no Su Liyuan in it.
Everything in the room is tidy, but there is a letter to Qin Si on his bed with four words: cherish, goodbye. This made Qin Si feel sad. Their master and apprentice could only get along with each other for more than a month, and even the farewell was just a few words.
Although Qin Si was a little reluctant to give up, he was also expected.
If Su Liyuan's departure is an accident, the next second thing is extraordinary as the third thing.
Today is the tribute banquet. Qin Chaoding and Qin Chao'an were not in the house, but after she had dinner, the house became noisy - outsiders entered Qin Chaoding's study.
Qin Si was still immersed in the separation between master and apprentice when she got the news, but the news brought by Lin Bo, the housekeeper, made her no longer safe. You should know that the study set by the Qin Dynasty is the most important place in the general's mansion. Unless he agrees, even Qin Si can't enter at will.
But now it is found that someone broke in and did not disturb the bodyguards in the house, which is indepretable anyway. Think about it, if this huge general's mansion is allowed to enter and leave, how will the people in Beijing think of it?
"Lin Bo, take me to have a look."
Glancing at Lin Bo, the housekeeper who came to report, Qin Si walked out of the door with a solemn face.
Along the way, the guards in the house are like facing great enemies. Today's incident is a great insult to this group of soldiers who were born and died with the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Si's eyes did not stay on the guards, but moved forward with determination. Dad is not in the house, so she naturally has to protect everyone in the general's mansion.
"Can you check the study? What on earth did you lose?" Qin Si didn't know what was hidden in the study, but compared with what was in it, it was extremely important.
"Miss Hui, I'm afraid it won't be known until the general comes back."
Lin Bo's words made Qin Si even more uneasy. Is His Royal Highness going to do it so soon? What else is there in Dad's study?
With his lips tightly, Qin Si accelerated his steps. There were two guards standing at the door of the study. They saw Qin Si coming and their heads drooped lower.
"Miss, it's the two of them who guard the study." Lin Bo came forward and pushed open the door of the study and said.
"Can you see what that man looks like?" Qin Si frowned and asked.
The two bodyguards shook their heads and replied, "The two of them were knocked unconscious before they found someone breaking in. They have never seen that man at all."
Knowing that there was no result, Qin Si went into the study and looked around. At first glance, there was no trace of anything in the study, and even the books on the table were meticulously placed. Qin Si's eyes turned in the study, and suddenly the light flashed. Nothing in the study changed, except for the fragrance case.
"Lin Bo. Let me stay alone for a while. You can take someone to the door to meet Dad. Qin Si retreated under his feet and blocked the incense case with his body.
Who is it? Break into the study just to leave a special incense?
consciously, Qin Si did not want to tell Qin Chaoding about this. She sighed, and everything was still waiting for her father to come back...
