Chapter 293
Chu Zhiyi was confused by Qiao Nian.
"Qiao Nian? Are you not Jing Yan's sister?"
Qiao Nian raised her eyes in surprise, but quickly realized that Chu Zhiyi had always thought of herself as Jing Rou, and she immediately smiled and said, "I am Jing Yan's fiancée."
In the night, a flash of surprise flashed across those sharp eyes.
Chu Zhiyi stood up and stepped forward, helped Qiao Nian up, and then said, "So, Jing Yan died at the hands of those bandits?"
Qiao Nian nodded slightly, not missing the hidden anger in Chu Zhiyi's tone.
Those damn bandits killed his brother and ruined his and the Tiger Guard's reputation!
As if thinking of something, Chu Zhiyi asked again, "Then what is your relationship with Xiao He?"
Qiao Nian was startled, and then thought that he had exposed his skills in front of Chu Zhiyi a long time ago. He immediately curled up his lips and said, "Xiao He, was once my husband."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Nian felt that the way Chu Zhiyi looked at her was wrong.
One moment she was Jing Yan's fiancée, and the next moment she was Xiao He's former wife.
Chaos, really chaos!
So, Qiao Nian sat down and talked to Chu Zhiyi about what happened a long, long time ago.
She started talking about it when she was still Lin Nian, until she fell into the Changyang River.
Even though Chu Zhiyi had fought in the north and south, met so many people, and experienced so many things, he couldn't help but feel incredible about Qiao Nian's experience.
"Lin You, this old guy, really gets more confused as he gets older!" Chu Zhiyi's voice was slightly cold, thinking of the Five Kings Rebellion, which was because Lin You's unsteady stance almost missed the opportunity to fight.
I didn’t expect that I can’t even recognize my daughter now.
The dignified daughter of the Marquis Mansion was actually reduced to being a slave in the Huanyi Bureau for three years. It was really a big joke in the world!
And that King Ming, I don’t know how the emperor’s brother taught his son, but he actually taught such a scum!
The most bastard is Xiao Heng!
Last year, after winning the battle and returning to the DPRK, the entire Dajing was praising him.
But I didn't expect that he would be so unreasonable, paranoid and selfish!
Just listening to it, Chu Zhiyi's eyebrows were filled with anger.
But he saw Qiao Nian curling up his lips and smiling, "It's all over now. It's a blessing in disguise that I finally escaped from the capital. But I didn't expect to meet the prince!"
Chu Zhiyi also nodded slightly, "Jing Yan and I once promised each other to take care of each other's families. When I saw the safety button on your neck earlier, I thought you were Jing Yan's sister, so I thought it was Jing Yan secretly. Sent you here."
In fact, Qiao Nian was very emotional about this, "I feel the same way. I always feel that Jing Yan has protected me time and time again. Even the jade bracelet passed down by the Jing family has warded me off from disasters."
Chu Zhiyi thought of the broken jade bracelet, no wonder she cared so much about it.
But as if something suddenly occurred to him, Chu Zhiyi said, "Someone in the town is already handing out your portrait."
Hearing this, Qiao Nian was shocked, "How could it be? They actually..."
He never gave up looking for her!
Seeing a hint of panic in Qiao Nian's eyes, Chu Zhiyi comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we won't be able to find him for a while. It's getting late, so go to bed first!"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian nodded slightly, got up and walked into the house.
But he seemed to suddenly remember something, "Why don't I sleep outside!"
It was fine that she didn't know Chu Zhiyi's identity before, but now that she knew he was the famous King Pingyang, how could she still let Chu Zhiyi sleep in the yard with peace of mind?
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhiyi actually smiled softly and said, "You should call me Brother Bai! Don't think too much."
After that, he just lay down on the wooden board.
This is not the capital, but Hewan Village.
There is no King Pingyang here, only Orion Baiyu.
Seeing Chu Zhiyi being so informal, Qiao Nian entered the room without saying anything.
Maybe he slept too late last night. When Qiao Nian woke up the next day, the sun was already very high.
Aunt Chun was sitting in the shade, mending clothes. When she saw Qiao Nian woke up, she got up and brought some porridge, "Bai Yu said you were not feeling well and told me not to disturb you. How about it? Are you feeling better now?"
Qiao Nian nodded slightly, glanced at the deserted yard, and couldn't help but smile, "Brother Bai is taking Fuwang to work again?"
Aunt Chun shook her head, "No, Bai Yu went to town before dawn. Maybe he had something to do! Fuwang's whole body hurt yesterday, and he's still lying down now!"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian felt a little surprised.
She vaguely felt that Chu Zhiyi's visit to the town early in the morning had something to do with her.
Probably not to report her, right?
She began to regret that she had told everything to Chu Zhiyi without reservation last night.
But the impact of the words 'King Pingyang' was so great that she even panicked.
Thinking of this, Qiao Nian frowned slightly and kept reassuring herself that Chu Zhiyi was not that kind of person.
But I still couldn't help but feel uneasy all day long.
It wasn't until sunset and the sky gradually darkened that Chu Zhiyi opened the door of the fence courtyard.
Behind him were a group of people, his brothers.
He was also the Tiger Guard who once made his enemies fearful.
After knowing their identities, Qiao Nian felt that each of them seemed to be carrying light.
None of them are simple.
When they saw Qiao Nian, they showed no restraint or politeness at all. They waved the wine and food in their hands at Qiao Nian, "The signature dishes of Fulai Restaurant, specially bought for the girl to try."
"If you want to eat, just say so. Why didn't you say that you bought the wine for the girl?"
"It was all paid for by my eldest brother. Look at him, he's talking as if he bought it himself!"
The men chatted and laughed, and went into the house on their own.
Qiao Nian stood aside, watching them set up a round table and put out the dishes and chopsticks. She couldn't help but wonder if she should go find Aunt Chun and let the brothers have the room?
Just as she was thinking, the men had already taken their seats and waved at Qiao Nian, "Miss Qiao, come and sit here."
Qiao Nian was stunned, and then she realized that Chu Zhiyi had already told them his identity.
Yes, Chu Zhiyi and Hu Wei were already like brothers, and besides, she already knew their identities, so it was fair to let them know hers.
At that moment, she didn't hesitate and went forward to sit down.
The door was closed at some point.
Someone spoke first, "Miss Qiao, I believe you already know our identities. We are usually called by our rankings. Since we have an elder brother, the ranking starts from the second."
As he spoke, he introduced the second to the eleventh.
Qiao Nian nodded and heard the second brother say, "I saw that Jing Yan was too young back then, otherwise he should be ranked twelfth now."
If Jing Yan had joined the Tiger Guards back then, he should be sitting here now, drinking with them.
The atmosphere fell silent because of the two words "Jing Yan".
The young man who would rather die than surrender was admired by them.
But the sixth brother on the side suddenly spoke, "Miss Qiao is Jing Yan's fiancée anyway, isn't it the same if we recognize her as our adopted sister now? Brother's sister and adopted sister are both sisters!"
