C103 The Three of Us Have a Secret Discussion!
She was holding a roasted shrimp, a common snack. She rubbed it in front of him and said, “I’ve already peeled it for you. It’s so fragrant and delicious.”
This little thing was very mischievous. Anything that was delicious would be stuffed into its stomach. Now that it was asking for something, it must have something to ask for.
“What is it?” Gu Jun’an went straight to the point.
“Show me the letter you read when we were eating. I was busy eating and didn’t pay attention. I want to know what Ah Che said!” She revealed the little details in her heart.
In the past, she could still endure not wanting to think about her hometown, but now that she heard the slightest bit of news, how could she endure it anymore?
Gu Jun’an said, “You don’t even know a few words. How are you going to read it?”
“You can read it for me!” She didn’t know many words before, and she hadn’t been studying seriously for a few days. She probably knew more than two hands.
However, because it was probably written by Ah Che, she wanted to know.
Gu Jun’an looked at her tender and pouting face and felt soft-hearted.
“This king will read it for you. Don’t tell anyone.”
The little girl immediately obediently covered her mouth with the back of her hand. “I’m very careful!”
Hearing Gu Jun’an finish reading the two pages, Lan Qingqian was a little disappointed. She tilted her head and looked at the letter with a sigh. “The words seem to be the words of the Emperor’s nephew, but they don’t seem like what he said.”
She looked sad and chewed the shrimp in her right hand.
Gu Jun’an frowned, “That’s my prawn!”
Lan Qingqian was upset, “I am so sad, how can you eat my only prawn?”
Gu Jun’an thought about it. It was a win-win situation.
“Do you really want to see your big nephew?”
Lan Qingqian nodded. She thought for a long time but then shook her head. She sounded like she was angry, “I don’t want to. I am so sad that he doesn’t even want to see me. He is a liar. When my father comes back, I will make him spank my ass in front of everyone.” In the girl’s heart, being spanked in front of everyone was a shameful thing. It was like peeing in the bed.
Gu Jun’an hesitated. If Lan Licheng really came, should he let her see him?
While he was hesitating, the girl heard San Qi’s voice and ran out.
“San Qi, let’s go fly kites. The wind is so strong here!” There was no sadness in her voice.
Gu Jun’an shook his head…
San Qi felt that this trip to the border was a bit special.
In the past, they would travel thousands of miles and search for information in the night.
But now, it was different!
They were going to fly kites with a little kid?
The young and clear voice seemed to have endless energy, “San Qi, I want it to fly higher!”
San Qi sat on the haystack and said helplessly, “It will break no matter how high it flies.”
“Where will it go if it breaks?”
San Qi looked up at the kite in the sky and said, “I don’t know!”
“I think it will fly home. It tried so hard to fly so high. It must remember the way home.” Lan Qingqing looked up at the kite that was getting smaller and smaller.
San Qi saw that the kite was flying too high. He got up and jumped off the haystack. “I’ll pull it back for you. Otherwise, it will really fly away.”
When he reached out to pull the string, the string really broke.
The kite that was hanging in the sky flew up with the wind and got further and further away.
“Wow, it really went home!” Lan Qingqing looked up and said with some envy.
San Qi looked at her and said, “Oh well, we are lost now. I can only say that it went home. Otherwise, the little girl will cry.”
The two of them put down the kite and sat on the haystack. Lan Qingqing looked at a place far away.
“What is the end of the other side?” Lan Qingqing looked at the green mountains and the water in the distance and stretched her neck to look.
“East Late Country. The assassins that almost killed the Crown Prince were sent by them.”
“Why did they want to kill the Crown Prince and His Majesty?” Lan Qingqing didn’t understand.
“Because Canglan and West Province want to join hands to attack East Late Country.”
“Why?” There were always questions in the little girl’s mind.
San Qi sat down and said, "This is a grudge from many years ago. It probably concerns your father. There was a princess in the Xiao Emperor who was the wife of the Eastern late emperor. However, because of the broken relationship between the two countries, the Eastern late emperor sacrificed his daughter with the bloodline of Canglan to boost the morale of the army.
After that, the grudge was formed. For the past few decades, Canglan and the Eastern late emperor had fought in many wars. As for the West Province, it was because the late emperor had taken four or five cities in the past.
In the past two years, the Eastern late emperor was exhausted. The two countries were thinking about how to take revenge and take back the cities. Now that they knew that the two countries had formed an alliance, the Eastern late emperor would do anything to destroy it."
"But the princess of Canglan and her daughter are the wife and daughter of the Eastern late emperor. Why did they kill them?" Lan Qingqian felt that they were pitiful.
San Qi sneered and said, "The emperor is cold. He never cared about bloodlines."
Lan Qingqian clicked her tongue and said, "It is not easy to be an emperor!"
She raised her head and looked at the sky. Suddenly, she pointed at the sky and said, "Look, there seems to be an eagle?"
When San Qi raised her head, she was already gone.
"Did you see it wrong?"
"No, I really saw it." In order to prove that she was not seeing things, Lan Qingqian kept staring at the sky.
After a while, he saw a tiny black dot slowly approaching. "Look, it seems like it is a pigeon."
San Qi saw it clearly this time. He immediately thought of something and sat up straight. "Your Highness, let's go find His Highness."
"Why are we looking for the old son-in-law?"
San Qi carried her on his back and ran. "I'll tell you when we get back."
Gu Jun'an heard San Qi's suspicion and immediately ordered people to check the pigeons carefully to see if they were scratched by the eagle.
After a while, they found two or three and sent them over.
San Qi held the pigeon and handed it to Gu Jun'an. "The wounds are not obvious. The eagle didn't kill them. After that, they were treated for a few days and sent back to the pigeon people. They didn't notice it when they saw the letter."
"These people are quite good at training the eagles." He handed the pigeon back. "Don't they love collecting information? Let's send more to them."
San Qi understood what he meant. He bowed. "I'll do it right away."
After he finished, Gu Jun'an went out to see Lan Qingqian sitting on the stairs. He patted her head.
He praised her. "This time, we used the right way to use our intelligence. We didn't waste the meat!"
Lan Qingqian turned around and saw him. She immediately stuffed the last fruit in her hand into her mouth, as if she was afraid that he would snatch it away. It was full like a small hamster that was storing food.
“Old Marquis, when can you give me a second Divine Fruit? Why don’t I grow any longer?” Lan Qingqian quickly asked when she heard him praise her.
