Hidden in the court

Ji Mingshang felt a little strange at first, and didn't even hear what she said. Then he realized that what she said was what he had been waiting for three years and wanted to hear.

I sorted out my thoughts and returned to reality.

Ji Mingshang replied tentatively:

"Symbols... look at the quadrants?"

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up.

"3.14?"

“3.…”

"Palace Yuye Liquor?"

"One hundred and eighty cups."

"How much is the sledgehammer?"

"eighty!"

“What a fellow countryman!”

Ji Mingshang was very excited. He finally made me wait for this. Looking at the person in front of him, he asked with some inexplicable excitement: "When did you come here?"

"I should have come later, a year ago."

"So you are now..."

"The Tan family of Qing'an City."

"Ah, where?"

Ji Mingshang was a little dumbfounded. From the Tan family in Qing'an City, this woman might be the one who had some problems with Zhao Yao. Isn't the Tan family only has a junior, Tan Heng? Then who is this person in front of him...

Ji Mingshang was suspicious, but he still said enthusiastically: "Please come in, let's talk for a moment."

"It seems that we are lucky. I am Ji Mingshang, the son of King Jin."

The fellow villager also took up the conversation, "I am lucky to be the only daughter of the Tan family in Qing'an City, Tan Yuewan."

Ji Mingshang became even more suspicious. The Tan family had only one daughter, but that was Tan Heng, and Tan Heng's courtesy name was Yugui. Moreover, Ji Mingshang had seen her at the Suo family's wedding, and she looked nothing like the person in front of him.

But now this woman says her name is Tan Yuewan, which is probably a pseudonym and they are actually two different people.

"Then do you know a guy named Zhao Yao? He's my friend and he went to Qing'an City a few days ago."

Ji Mingshang decided to give it a try.

Tan Yuewan was waiting for him to say this, and immediately asked in surprise: "Are you friends with him?"

Ji Mingshang felt very strange. She knew Lao Zhao, but Tan Heng didn't. This meant that she was the one who was with Lao Zhao in Qing'an City. Then why did she use a fake name to impersonate Tan Heng and try to trick me?

Even if she wanted to play Tan Heng, she should use the name Tan Heng. But now she says her name is Tan Yuewan. Is that her real name?

At this moment, Ji Mingshang had completely recovered from the excitement of meeting his "fellow countryman".

If she had just traveled through time, Ji Mingshang might really treat her as a trustworthy fellow villager and would believe her lies out of joy.

But now, I have Lao Zhao, Luo Lin, Ru Shuang, Ru Hua, Ru Yan...

Compared with these people, the "fellow villager" who suddenly appeared in front of him was obviously not very trustworthy.

Besides, this woman didn't tell the truth. She must be hiding something from me. She might have some purpose in coming here today.

Ji Mingshang decided to try her again, and immediately looked at him and said, "How did you find out that I'm a 'fellow villager'?"

Tan Yuewan had already thought of a set of excuses for this, and replied calmly: "I recently heard what you said to Zhao Yao in the original owner's memory. The odd things change, but the even things remain the same. That's how I knew your identity."

"Oh...I see."

Ji Mingshang acted as if he suddenly understood what was going on, and complained in his heart, "He's been fooling around, and fooling around again."

Now Ji Mingshang really didn’t know how she knew those things, but he was absolutely sure that Tan Yuewan definitely did not have the so-called memories of the original owner.

Not to mention that he and Zhao Yao had said this three years ago, and according to what she said, she traveled through time and space and became the only daughter of the Tan family.

The problem is that Ji Mingshang and Zhao Yao have never met Tan Heng before, and Zhao Yao has not left the capital for three years. So where did you hear it from?

At this time, Tan Yuewan was still immersed in her performance. In her opinion, she had the script in her hands and was not panicking at all.

Looking at the male protagonist Ji Mingshang in front of me, I even feel that apart from being a little better looking, he is no different from ordinary men?

Think about the ending of Ji Mingshang at the end...tsk tsk...he is such a pity.

The reason he came to find Ji Mingshang was because he wanted to get close to Zhao Yao, because Zhao Yao was the safest line.

At the same time, compared to Ji Mingshang, the playboy who traveled through time, Zhao Yao, the "native", is also very easy to deceive in some aspects.

She took out Zhao Yao's jade token. When Ji Mingshang saw this, he became more certain that she was the one who had met Old Zhao.

What on earth does this woman want to do?

"Then do you know where Zhao Yao went?"

Ji Mingshang seemed to understand, and he mentioned Zhao Yao every three out of ten sentences. What’s the matter? Do you want to treat him as a “sucker”?

Ji Mingshang's worries were not groundless. Looking at her current performance, the information sent back by Lao Bai, and her identity as a time traveler, Ji Mingshang seriously suspected that this woman's purpose was to serve as an NPC guide for Lao Zhao.

Coming back to his senses, Ji Mingshang responded very quickly.

"Oh, he's gone. I don't know where he went. Maybe he won't come back."

Tan Yuewan was a little confused. What happened to Ji Mingshang? Did I say something wrong? Why was he so excited?

"Then I'll trouble you. Can you ask him to come to Qing'an City to find me when he comes back?"

She pretended to be strong but looked pitiful, her tone was a little pleading, a little expectant, and a little embarrassed due to a lack of confidence, and her performance was just right.

I have to say, his acting is excellent. With that look and tone, if Ji Mingshang didn't know Zhao Yao well, he would have really believed that Zhao Yao had some special relationship with the woman in front of him.

It was precisely because he understood Zhao Yao that he knew how destructive this situation would be to Old Zhao.

If it had been like this for those two days, Old Zhao would probably be finished.

"Okay, I'll let him find you then."

Ji Mingshang agreed readily.

"Well, I'll take my leave now."

Having achieved her goal, Tan Yuewan did not stay any longer. She did not know how much time she had left and had to rush to make other arrangements. Besides, the longer she stayed, the more likely she would reveal her flaws.

"I'll take you there."

Ji Mingshang walked her all the way to the door and watched her walk away.

"Keep an eye on her."

"Yes."

Ji Mingshang smacked his lips and sighed, "Tsk tsk, this is true. Since ancient times, true love cannot be retained. There is only one thing that can conquer another."

After entering the house, Ruyan was the only one left among the three girls, which seemed a bit deserted.

"Sir, isn't she from the same hometown as you?"

Ji Mingshang looked at Ruyan. On weekdays, Ruhua took care of the family business and Rushuang traveled around the world, but Ruyan, who came later, took care of the daily lives of several people and had the simplest mind.

It’s better to be simple and have no worries.

"Ruyan, remember this. There's a saying in my hometown: When fellow villagers meet, they shoot each other in the back."

Ruyan nodded ignorantly.

Ji Mingshang reviewed the situation and found that this woman, apart from being a time traveler, had not told a single truth.

She said she came here a year ago, but she knew I came here earlier than her. Is that possible? Most importantly, why is she wearing Tan Heng's clothes? Is she really looking for excitement?

After thinking for a while, Ji Mingshang felt like laughing. Anyway, they were all here for Lao Zhao, so there was no point in worrying. At most, he could just pull him back at the critical moment.

"Ruyan, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
