Overlord the sky

Chapter 280 Seven New Ideas in Ancient Poetry

The least affected by Zheng Qian's disappearance is probably the princess.

The princess is busy with the excavation of the moat outside the city of Winterfell. With the help of wooden oxen and horses, the progress of the project is advancing rapidly as expected.

The management of several 10 people is not too difficult for the princess.So much so that the princess always suspected that there were not as many people as Zheng Qian said.

Fortunately, there was an established roster as proof, and after multiple verifications by the princess, it was believed that the number was accurate.

The wages of tens of 10 people are settled daily, which invisibly puts a great burden on the management of the princess.But when the matter came to the princess, it seemed to be very convenient, and there was no sense of burden.

With tens of thousands of people in charge, the princess still has a lot of spare time.She took advantage of this spare time, and together with Hu Niu, she was busy counting the money and things she had received from the treasury.

Hu Niu is responsible for receiving money from the treasury.

Huniu was born as a generation of tiger kings, and she has seen countless treasures. In the eyes of others, the little money she received is a huge amount, but in Huniu's eyes, it is not worth mentioning.

Hu Niu's body is recovering and her condition is getting better day by day.With the strength of Hu Niu who fully emulates Tiger King, she is probably invincible in the current Winterfell City, and she is the most suitable person to be responsible for escorting money and goods.

Hu Niu became the right-hand man of the princess.

The four daughters of Jixiang Tea House came to Dongcheng in turn to help.It is said to be helping, but in fact, most of them come to play.

Among the four daughters, Chunlan is relatively calm, and she loves the remaining three daughters very much. The task of guarding Bai Ling is basically taken over by Chunlan under the clamor of the three daughters.

As the days passed, the princess was busy with her engineering affairs, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong.But Huniu has already realized that Zheng Qian has not appeared for a while.

"Princess, Zheng Qian hasn't been to Dongcheng for a while. According to his personality, this shouldn't be done." Huniu said to the princess.

The princess changed her mind a little and knew what Huniu said was true.

"I probably saw some pretty girl again, and I can't move my legs anymore." The princess gritted her teeth.

"Probably not. You and I know Zheng Qian's character well. Before such a big project is completed, he won't have such thoughts." Hu Niu said affirmatively.

The princess knew that what Huniu said was true.But Zheng Qian often ran around the city of Winterfell, and it was not uncommon for the princess not to see Zheng Qian for ten and a half months.

However, with such a tight construction schedule, Zheng Qian never 'shows' his face, which is not how he should behave under normal circumstances.

"Could it be that you got caught up in the matter of commanding the battalion?" the princess guessed.

"No. It's been a long time since the Huben Group saw the envoys." Xia He talked quickly, and liked to inquire about some interesting things. Zheng Qian didn't have such a big event in the Huben Group, so she naturally knew it clearly. .

"Is there such a thing?" The princess was stunned.

Xia He didn't know what happened, the princess' expression seemed a little nervous, she just froze.

Hu Niu also felt that something was wrong.

"What happened?" Huniu asked the princess and the third daughter.

"In Winterfell, no one should be able to touch him." The princess calmed down and said.

Huniu nodded in agreement with the princess.The current Winterfell City is similar to the backyard of Zheng Qian's house.No one should be able to pose any threat to Zheng Qian.

"Sister Tiger King, let's finish the project first. Zheng Qian is a person who likes to start well and finish well. Since he has no news, there is no use for us to be anxious here. It is better to finish what Zheng Qian entrusted to us first. .” The princess suggested.

"But princess, I'm still a little worried." For some reason, Hu Niu always felt a little uneasy.

"Sister Tiger King, you don't have to worry. Think about it, the Meteorite Squad is so powerful that it was destroyed by Zheng Qian, and Winterfell is relatively safer than the Meteorite Squad. Zheng Qian should be fine. When he is about to appear, he will appear naturally. Maybe we are worried here, maybe he is having a good time somewhere."

The princess has developed a habit of thinking about Zheng Qian's disappearance. As long as he doesn't show up for a while, she will surely bring back some new faces for her.And one by one is beautiful.It made the princess a little frustrated.

"Princess, are you really so relieved?" Huniu didn't understand where the princess' confidence came from.

"Sister Tiger King, Zheng Qian's life is harder than a cockroach, who can hurt him? Even the mighty power of the Snake Clan has suffered in his hands several times. Let's say, sister Tiger King. You are stronger than Zheng Qian, and your level is higher than Zheng Qian, but the one who rescued you in the end was that hooligan?" The princess began to present the facts and reason.

Huniu thinks about it too.Although Zheng Qian is only a third-level tyrant, none of the things he did was done by a third-level tyrant.If it wasn't for Huniu and the others who knew Zheng Qian's level in advance, they wouldn't believe that the person who had done so many great things was just a third-level overlord even after they died.

"So, I said, nothing will happen to him. I believe in this very much. Even if he encounters some dangers for a while, he can solve them smoothly. So far, this rascal has nothing but a bit of a 'sex'. Never let us down before." The princess said to Huniu confidently.

Huniu sighed softly.

What the princess said was not unreasonable, but Huniu always felt that her heart was hanging.Without seeing Zheng Qian, she couldn't let go of her heart.

"I also believe in envoys." Xia He jumped to the side of the princess and Huniu. "The envoys are so powerful, how could they be in danger? It's good that he doesn't cause danger to others."

Qiu Ju agreed with Xia He's words and nodded silently.

What Dongmei is most unaccustomed to is this kind of discussion. She twisted the corners of her clothes and flickered at the beauties who were discussing with her big eyes.

"Sister Tiger King, why don't we do this. We will go find him together after we finish what we have entrusted to Zheng Qian. I don't want him to find me more sisters." After the princess finished speaking, Then he smiled and looked at the three daughters of the auspicious tea house.

Xia He didn't care about being watched by the princess, and still looked playful; while Qiu Ju lowered her face slightly, turned her head and looked away, avoiding the princess's sweeping gaze; Dongmei's face turned red to the base of her neck After going, the corner of the clothes was twisted into twists by her again.

"Dongmei is too shy, this is not acceptable. It will be taken advantage of by that hooligan," the princess said.

"Ah? Don't look at Dongmei like this now, sometimes she can be very courageous. Last time in Sunset Valley, we were still in awe of the envoy, so Dongmei dared to be alone with the envoy." Xia He said Dongmei is not as fragile as it looks.

When Dongmei heard Xia He's words, her blushing face became even redder, her eyes almost filled with water.

The princess was taken aback.

Being alone, why hasn't she heard of this matter?Could it be that Zheng Qian has already laid hands on Dongmei?

"Dongmei, did that hooligan do anything to you?" the princess asked quickly.

"I probably didn't do anything. At that time, the envoy was only focused on reciting poems." Xia He said.

In the Sunset Valley, in that small room, Zheng Qian casually recited a stolen ancient poem. The poetry is full of charm, which made the four girls of the auspicious tea house, who have been trained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, admire her.

"Can you still read poetry? Why don't I know?"

This time it was the princess' turn to be startled.

"I know, I know," Xia He yelled, "the poem that God made at that time was very good, and several of us wrote it down. We tried to change the words and sentences in the poem later, but found that it could no longer I can't find a more appropriate word to replace it than the original poem."

"The literary talent of the envoy is indeed very good." Qiu Ju interjected, "That poem has brilliant literary talent and profound artistic conception. That’s what makes it even more admirable.”

Seeing that the two daughters were full of praise for Zheng Qian's poetic talent, the princess felt even more suspicious.

"Read and listen." The princess said.

Xia He immediately chanted Zheng Qian's poem aloud.Xia He's voice is crisp and clear, and while reading the poem, it turns back and forth, and naturally adds some rhythm into it, making this ancient poem extremely beautiful.

"Far away, the stone path is slanted in the cold mountain, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are as red as the flowers in February."

After reciting an ancient poem, the lingering lingering sound is endless. It seems that in this vast land, the green hills are the bow and the flowing water is the string, playing an ancient song with a strong charm.

"This, is this written by Zheng Qian?" The princess has a little understanding of poetry. Although she can't explain the poem, she knows that the literary talent in the poem is extraordinary.

"Of course." Xia He said affirmatively, "At that time, this poem was recited when the envoy was alone with Dongmei in the hut. Dongmei is more real than we know. If you don't believe me, just ask Dongmei .”

Xia He stretched out her slender hand and pointed at Dongmei.

Dongmei's whole body was tightened by Xia He's fingers.She still remembers the situation when Zheng Qian recited the poem at that time.

"Dongmei, is that true?" the princess asked.

Dongmei twisted her clothes, her face turned red, she lowered her head and nodded slightly.

When he was alone with Dongmei, Zheng Qian did nothing but recite poems.It is said that other princesses believe it, but Zheng Qian will be like this, and the princess will not believe it even when she is old.

"Dongmei, tell me about the situation at that time." The princess walked to Dongmei's side, looking at Dongmei with burning eyes.

Dongmei was scalded by the princess' gaze, her whole body tensed up, and her neck shrank naturally.

"It hurts." Dongmei only said one word, but her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

"It hurts?" The princess didn't know why, she looked at Dongmei, then at Xia He.

Knowing what the princess wanted to ask, Xia He told the princess in detail what happened after Dongmei rushed out of the house.

After quietly listening to Xia He's narration, the princess suddenly realized.

Based on the princess' understanding of Zheng Qian, everything that Zheng Qian did to Dongmei in the house can be reversed.Combined with the ancient poem that Xia He recited earlier, the princess finally understood the true meaning of this rascal's poem.

"Literary talent? Poetry talent?" The princess's nostrils expanded in anger, "You have all been fooled by that rascal."

"What does the princess say?" Hu Niu, who had been watching the bustle, asked.

"Think about the hooligan's hand on Dongmei's body, and then combine that poem with a little thought to understand what the hooligan was doing at that time."

Hu Niu tilted her head and thought about it, but she couldn't come up with a reason for a long time.

Xia He and Qiu Ju didn't understand why the princess was so angry.They are particularly sensitive to poetry, but they are very unfamiliar with the affairs of the house.

All the girls looked at each other in blank dismay, only the princess's blood spurted, and two balls of fire danced in her eyes.

"I don't know what poetic talent he is, but he's a rascal!" the princess roared.

"Princess, no one knows exactly what happened. As long as you find Zheng Qian and ask, everything will be revealed. Don't be angry for nothing." Huniu said.

"Yes, yes. Listen to the meaning of the princess. There are other explanations for this poem. I want to hear it too." Xia He cheered and jumped up.

The four sisters of Jixiang Tea House have read this poem over and over again, but they have not come up with any new explanations.Listening to the princess now, it turns out that this poem is still a hidden poem, and the interest immediately rises.

"However," the princess calmed down her anger, "the project must be completed first. The chief of the guard! The chief of the guard!" the princess shouted.

The captain of the guard in silver-white armor ran over from not far away.

"What is the princess' order?"

"Pass my order. From now on, the construction will be accelerated and the wages will be doubled. Whoever completes the assigned engineering tasks ahead of schedule will be rewarded with [-] gold coins in addition to wages!"

The chief guard left in response, sighing inwardly.He really wanted to take off his armor and dig.

After the princess gave the order, she turned to Xia He and said, "I also really want to hear that hooligan's explanation."

The princess's voice was low and on the verge of going berserk, just because Zheng Qian was not present at this time, which limited her performance.
