40. Chapter 40
Zhou Qingqing didn't think much about it. The two of them returned to their places with water and dry food, Qin Zhen and Nie Jin were already angry with a bonfire, and the two were sitting cross-legged by the fire, not knowing what to say in a low voice. Hearing that people were coming back, Qin Zhen turned around and beckoned: "Is there anything to eat?" I'm dying of hunger. ”
Zhou Qingqing approached, handed him a piece of Bo cake, and said angrily: "You deserve it!" ”
Qin Zhen glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why do I deserve it!" ”
"Who asked you to come to Shuzhong? Don't forget that your father was the culprit of the slaughter of the city back then, eighteen years ago, it was said that it was not long or short, it was just enough for some people to remember the blood and hatred, and the son of you, the enemy, came here, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? ”
Qin Zhen took a bite of the cake and disagreed: "Do you think I'm a sheep?" ”
Zhou Qingqing snorted: "I don't know if you are a sheep or not, anyway, you shouldn't pull a few of us up." ”
Qin Zhen choked on a mouthful of bread, squinted at her, and laughed dryly: "Husband and wife, can you say this kind of thing?" Don't you understand the husband and wife? ”
Nie Jin chuckled: "Miss Wangye, don't quarrel!" ”
Qin Zhen laughed twice: "Where do I dare to quarrel with your young lady, didn't I see that she was blaming me?" ”
Zhou Qingqing also smiled: "Yes, I just blame you, how about it?" What did you say to take me to the mountains and rivers, obviously it was to bring me to be hunted down and killed. ”
When she said this, Qin Zhen's gaze inadvertently glanced at the left arm in her hand, the original smile on her face froze, and she leaned over and frowned and asked, "Are you injured?" ”
Zhou Qingqing shook his head: "It's just a small injury." ”
Feng Xiao coughed lightly and said: "Just now in the backyard of the inn, the princess and I went to lead the horse, and were attacked by two men in black, and the princess blocked me in front of me and saved me, so I was injured." ”
Qin Zhen glanced at him lightly, hummed, moved a little to Zhou Qingqing's side, and took her hand: "I'll take a look." ”
"Shhh
Qin Zhen immediately let go of her hand: "Don't call it a pain if you have a small injury?" ”
Zhou Qingqing pursed his mouth and complained: "If you don't touch me, I won't squeak." ”
Qin Zhen laughed twice and jokingly said: "I can't see that my princess is still a heroine among women!" ”
Nie Jin, who was paralyzed, couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two bickering like this.
A few people ate something casually, and after resting for a while, Qin Zhen turned his head and looked around: "Let's continue to hurry, and strive to get to the next city tomorrow morning." ”
Nie Jin nodded in agreement: "This place is close to Shuzhong, and the identity of the prince is exposed, so it is inevitable that it will not be safe." ”
Zhou Qingqing was so tired that he didn't want to move at all, and there were still injuries on his arms, and when he was riding a horse, he needed to use both hands to pull the reins, and the injuries involved were very uncomfortable. But Nie Jin had a point, and she had to stand up reluctantly. I couldn't help but slander Qin Zhen again.
She walked in front of her horse, but was pulled by Qin Zhen.
"What?" She looked back at him in bewilderment.
Qin Zhen said succinctly: "Get on my horse." ”
She thought he was going to change horses with him, but she didn't care, so she turned his horse into his horse. Unbeknownst to her, she just sat up, and Qin Zhen also stepped on the saddle and sat behind her.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Qingqing thought that he was joking again, and was about to scorn him, but he heard him: "Your hand is injured, and it is inconvenient to ride a horse." ”
Zhou Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable astringency and warmth suddenly surged in his heart, and he said, "Can you afford the weight of the two of us?" ”
Qin Zhen chuckled: "I'm one in a million treasure horses, of course it's no problem." "Besides, you don't have a few taels of flesh on your body, and you don't feel it even when you touch it." ”
Zhou Qingqing knew that he didn't have any good words in his mouth.
It is said that the road to Shu is difficult, and this road is not easy to walk, especially at night. Fortunately, they are all top horses, and they are quite smooth. Zhou Qingqing sat in front of Qin Zhen, because he was bound in his arms, and with only one uninjured hand, he just grabbed the reins with him. The injured hand can be left free, and it is not as uncomfortable as riding a horse alone.
By dawn, it happened to be the next city, which was also the jurisdiction of Western Qin. After finding the inn, Zhou Qingqing ate something casually and fell asleep.
Qin Zhen looked at the cyan color under her eyes, thinking that she was tired from this period of time, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After thinking about it, he covered her with a thin quilt and tiptoed out the door.
When he returned, he had a small porcelain bottle of medicine in his hand, which he had bought from a nearby pharmacy. He didn't wake Zhou Qingqing up, just sat on the edge of the bed and carefully untied the silk on her arm.
The wound wasn't too long, but it was deep, and it had begun to scar overnight, but it was still red and swollen, and it was still a little bloody.
Zhou Qingqing, who was sleeping unconsciously, only felt a cool stinging pain in the painful place on his arm, but gradually became a little more comfortable, so he continued to sleep deeply, only whispering a few times unconsciously in his dreams.
Qin Zhen looked at her small red lips, opened them slightly, and smiled unconsciously. When she was about to wrap the wound with a silk silk again, she thought about it and threw it away, tore off a sleeve of her dirty clothes, and bandaged her.
Zhou Qingqing slept until noon before waking up. When he opened his eyes, Qin Zhen next to him still had his eyes closed, his breathing was heavy, his thin lips were pursed, and his angular face looked a little cold. However, Zhou Qingqing knew how bad this person was when he was awake.
She looked at him for a moment, then clenched her fist and waved it in front of him. But before he could take it back, Qin Zhen's dark eyes had already opened.
He grabbed her wrist with one hand, and looked at her with a smile on his face. Zhou Qingqing was arrested, wanting to avoid his gaze, but he felt weak, so he simply looked at him.
The two were close to each other, their eyes were intertwined, and in Qin Zhen's dark eyes, Zhou Qingqing, who was originally staring at him, gradually softened his gaze, and a trace of blush gradually appeared on his face.
Qin Zhen chuckled, stepped forward and kissed her red lips, and didn't let her go until she was almost out of breath. He smiled and asked, "Does your arm still hurt?" ”
Zhou Qingqing was shocked to realize that there was no feeling in his hand, and turned his head to look at his left arm, only to see that the previous silk was gone, replaced by a piece of white cloth.
She sighed: "You changed the medicine for me?" ”
Qin Zhen nodded: "You slept like a little pig, and you didn't wake up when you changed the dressing so much." ”
Zhou Qingqing pouted: "You are also embarrassed to say, these days, the boat and the car are tiring, I can't wait to sleep to death, so as not to be tortured by you in the future." ”
Qin Zhen smiled: "Okay, in the future, you will enjoy your leisure life in the palace, and I will not take you out to suffer." ”
Zhou Qingqing was stunned when he heard this, and then said hesitantly: "Actually, it's not that I can't come out, it's just that don't be so frequent, and it also gives me the ability to breathe." This time I came out of Xijing for nearly a month, and I finally won the battle, I thought I could go back to my house to have a good rest, but you had to run to Shuzhong non-stop. ”
Qin Zhen pinched her face: "I know that my princess has suffered, how about going back to Xijing to compensate you?" ”
Zhou Qingqing was interested, and his eyes rolled slyly: "How to compensate?" ”
Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows: "You say?" ”
Zhou Qingqing pointed his chin with his fingers and thought for a moment: "If there is anything fun and delicious in Xijing, you can take me there." ”
The expression and tone of her voice when she said this were like an innocent girl, which may be what she should be.
Qin Zhen laughed: "What's so difficult about this? The princess will do her best to accompany her husband in whatever she wants to do. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and got out of bed: "Get up and eat, let's continue to rush today, return to Xijing early, and take you to play all over Xijing as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Qingqing lay on the bed and didn't want to get up: "I don't seem to be very hungry, I really want to sleep for a while." ”
Qin Zhen smiled: "Then you can sleep for a while, and I'll bring the food to the room." ”
Zhou Qingqing didn't think that he would be so understanding, so he squinted and nodded with a smile: "Then there is Lord Lao." ”
Qin Zhen chuckled, looked at her softly, and turned to leave. Zhou Qingqing fell asleep on the bed again.
It wasn't until she heard footsteps at the door that she woke up again, and she was really hungry.
Hurriedly got out of bed, just got dressed, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a white side under his feet, looked down, but saw that it was the silk that Feng Xiao tied to his hand yesterday.
She bent down to pick it up, looked at the faint blood stains on it, and was a little stunned for a moment. At this time, someone pushed the door in, and Qin Zhen's voice came: "Are you up?" ”
Zhou Qingqing came back to his senses and stuffed the silk silk into his cuffs: "It's up." ”
Qin Zhen walked in with the food: "You eat slowly, we are not in a hurry, rush to the next city before dark, and you don't have to sleep in the open without food." ”
Zhou Qingqing snorted, washed up briefly, sat down at the table and began to sacrifice his five internal organs temple. She ate a few chopsticks, and suddenly asked as if she thought of something, "Do you know how General Feng's muscles and veins were damaged?" ”
Qin Zhen was stunned and sighed: "It's because of me." ”
Zhou Qingqing looked at him unexpectedly: "Because of you?" ”
Qin Zhen nodded: "I opened the mansion at the age of fourteen, and at that time I picked a few children who were about the same age as me from Manu, and wanted to try to cultivate them myself, and Feng Xiao was one of them." He was originally very talented in martial arts, but in just one year, he was already the best among that group of children. At that time, he was young and frivolous, and he took his team of children to attack the enemy camp, but he was besieged, and when he escaped, Feng Xiao was seriously injured and his muscles and veins were damaged in order to cover me. From then on, he could no longer practice martial arts. ”
Zhou Qingqing nodded knowingly: "No wonder you use him so much." ”
Qin Zhen smiled: "It's not all because he saved my life, but because he is a reliable, restrained and calm person, he is actually very smart, but he is never sharp." ”
Zhou Qingqing agreed: "He is indeed very calm. ”
