The Only You in the World

025 Wise People

Your own country!

Bai Shaoqing's eyes suddenly darkened, and the dark and dirty memories quickly disappeared her thoughts. After all, she was still young. She was excited by the old man and suddenly said angrily, "That's not my country! They Ling Chi, my father, humiliated my mother, and killed my brothers, uncles and relatives. No, I have a deep hatred with them, and I will never be a Chu person again.

"Then who are you? Eastern Qin, Western Moon, Southern Chu and Northern Period, which country are you from?

Bai Shaoqing was stunned when she heard the words and withdrew her angry sight. She looked out of the window and settled for a long time before she slowly replied, "I am from all over the world. As long as there is heaven and earth, it is my hometown!"

The old man with white eyebrows shook his whole body, and his voice showed excitement. "What a person from all over the world! What a man from all over the world!" After saying that, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. The laughter came from afar, as if it shook the whole green forest valley. At the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen people in white looked back together. I don't know what happened here! Only the white-haired old woman looked up at the ridge with a faint smile.

Bai Shaoqing looked at him with some puzzlement. The old man's laughter gradually stopped and waved his hand and said, "I haven't been so happy for a long time. Come on! Girl, go over there and spoon a bowl of water for me.

Bai Shaoqing followed what he pointed out and walked to a large cyan tank on the side of the cabin. She looked at it with a spoon in her hand, but saw that there was a little water the size of her palm at the bottom of the tank. She hesitated for a moment, leaned down and tried to help the big jar down a little. She reached out the spoon and tried her best to put the spoon into the bowl. It took several times before finally the water. It's completely spooned out, just a bowl. She hesitantly brought the bowl to the old man: "Sir, there is only one last bit of water left. It's not clean. Can I go outside and find some spring water for you?"

The old man took the bowl with a smile, but said, "Clean, there is nothing cleaner than this water." Another point to the bottom of the bowl is a little precipitation: "It is because the water is clear that you can see turbid things. If the water is mixed, what is it clear?" After saying that, I looked at her, looked up and drank cleanly, reached out my mouth, and said with a smile, "I finally finished drinking it, and I finally waited for the person I was waiting for."

Bai Shaoqing was puzzled by his strange behavior, but he didn't dare to say anything more. At this time, when he saw that he was in a good mood, he wanted to mention his departure, but he stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's not too late to say about leaving in a moment. At present, I want to tell you something else."

Hearing what he said, Bai Shaoqing had to go back to sit down and say, "Have you heard of Xiang?" Looking at her shaking her head, he smiled and said, "It's not surprising that the Xiang clan exists for the sake of the royal family, and only the royal family has been secretly inherited from generation to generation. In other words, Xiang Shi exists as the patron saint of the royal family.

"In the past hundred years, the Xiang family has chosen to guard Qin for decades. Outsiders are unreasonable and guess the wind direction. They think that the king of Qin is the king of the true fate determined by the Xiang family, but in fact this is not the case. Xiang family stayed in the Qin Palace for generations, in order to protect a thing hidden there."

Speaking of this, the old man paused and looked at Bai Shaoqing with a blank face. He said, "That thing is predestined to you. In the future, you will naturally know that the secret can't be revealed at this moment, but it's not convenient for me to say more. In fact, what I want to say is a small matter that happened to Xiang five years ago. There must be a saint in each generation of the Xiang clan. This saint is chosen by God. Once selected, it will not be changed. Other Xiang men and women are bound to marry, but the saint is destined to be alone for a lifetime and guard Xiang's honor with chastity.

Bai Shaoqing was stunned and couldn't help thinking of those women with very similar clothes, but he heard him say, "But I didn't expect that there was a deviant saint in this family." He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "The child's name is Xiang Tianyan. He is the thirty-second saint of the Xiang family, but he is unwilling to abide by the clan rules. Before the ceremony is completed, he sneaked down the mountain."

To Tianyan? Bai Shaoqing was stunned and thought of Yan'er in the aunt's mouth. It turned out that the little beggar was the saint of the Xiang family.

"Over the years, the clans have been looking around, and every time they are almost caught, but let her run away," he smiled helplessly, but in his smile, he did not see anger. Instead, he was full of spoiling. "This child is extremely talented and smart. It is not easy to catch her, not to mention that her behavior may be right. Because it conforms to God's will." After saying that, she smiled and looked at Bai Shaoqing. She couldn't help fighting a cold war.

The old man laughed and turned around and said, "Just two years after she ran away, she suddenly lost the news. We had something to ask Xiang's doorman, but this time she disappeared without a trace, but she couldn't find it anyway. I took a few gossips for her, but there was no fierce appearance. It was strange about this matter, but I saw the doorman flying pigeons from Princess Ji Guoping's wandering the street, saying that they saw the princess carrying the jade bracelet of the saint of this family in her hand, so they thought they had finally found it this time.

"But I'm not!" Bai Shaoqing vaguely felt that the situation was serious and hurriedly expressed his position.

The old man smiled and said, "Of course I know you're not, but they don't know, that's why there is this trick of robbing the wrong person."

"In that case, please ask the old gentleman to explain it to the people and send me down the mountain."

"What are you doing when I send you down the mountain?"

"Of course, I will fulfill my promise."

"Is it your promise to the people when you walk around the street?"

"Yes. I promised to protect the safety of their side and not to go against my promise.

"You have a lot of ambition and courage, but you clearly have the ability to keep the world safe, but now you have to sacrifice yourself for the people of Ji?"

"...Sir, I don't have that ability. Even... what Ji Guo said to the people was also a moment of excitement, but since I have said it, I will always do my best to do it.

"Do you know what kind of person the King of Qin is? What about the harem of the State of Qin? Since then, the concubines have been separated from the outside world forever. The harem of the State of Qin can't participate in politics. Even if you spoil the harem, you will enjoy it exclusively. But with your unusual woman's behavior, once your true temperament is exposed, even the King of Qin can't protect you. Since you can't give full play to your strengths, do you really want to be a short-sighted woman who will fight with women in the palace all her life?
