"None of them." Shen Ning shook her head.
"Then how do you know I'm from Northern Qi?" the man asked with a smile.
He spoke extremely fluently in Xichu dialect. If this little girl recognized his own accent, it would be a huge blow to his self-confidence.
"You said it yourself." She also smiled.
The tense atmosphere just now melted away because of this smile, and the air in the carriage suddenly became as warm as the spring breeze.
Both of them were smiling and their eyes were crooked.
But a strange feeling flashed through the man's heart.
"I don't remember telling you my identity." The man shook his head, "Little girl, you'd better tell the truth. I'll tell you right away when you lie."
"Really? As soon as you lied, I immediately noticed it." Shen Ning smiled.
"Nonsense, you're not a bug in my stomach. How can you know what I'm thinking?" the man sneered.
"Of course I can know."
"Okay, then tell me, what am I thinking about now?" The man raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"You're thinking that if I tell you what's on your mind, you must deny it desperately. Also, you're still thinking about when you let it slip and accidentally told me your identity."
The man suddenly jumped up.
He stared at Shen Ning, his eyes almost protruding from his sockets, and his mouth opened wide enough to swallow a toad.
"You... you... you... are really a bug in my stomach!" The shock in his heart was worse than what was shown on his face.
Because what Shen Ning said was absolutely right.
That's what he thought.
Shen Ning rolled her eyes at him and said displeasedly, "That's really unpleasant." She had no interest in being a roundworm in other people's stomachs.
"Hey, hey, little girl, how did you guess it? Can you see what I'm thinking with your eyes? Who are you? Are you a god? Or a monster?" The man's eyes showed deep concern for her. Strong interest.
"By the way, you haven't told me yet. When did I tell you that I was from Northern Qi?" He asked again.
"Just now, I asked you how far it was, and you pointed north and said it would take another month to walk in a carriage." Shen Ning said, "Go north from here and walk for half a month, and you will be out." After arriving at the border of Western Chu and Northern Qi, didn’t you tell me clearly that you are from Northern Qi?”
The man opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to close it.
"It turns out that it was really what I told you."
But if she didn't say anything, he would never have imagined that his casual words would reveal such a big secret even if he tried hard to think about it.
Although Northern Qi and Western Chu are not hostile countries, they are definitely not friendly. If he, a Northern Qi native, sneaks into the border of Western Chu, it will be very bad if someone discovers them.
"You know I'm from Northern Qi, so are you afraid of me?" He deliberately widened his eyes and made a fierce look.
"Why should I be afraid of you? Is there any difference between the people of Northern Qi and Xichu? Are the people of Northern Qi cannibals?" She asked in surprise.
"puff!"
The man almost squirted, but he managed to hold back his laughter: "Who said we Northern Qi people cannibalize people?"
"Oh, then there's nothing to be afraid of." She smiled lightly.
The man looked at her and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Although his secret was revealed, instead of feeling nervous, he felt relaxed.
