Zhou Qingqing didn't know the road in Xijing City, but she remembered that when she came over just now, she saw a river not far from the street, so she held a stack of her father's targets and walked towards the river.

Nie Jin followed her silently, and when he saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the bustling street, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "Go to the river and burn these targets." After a pause, he added, "Burn it to my father, he must be quite boring underground, burn these targets to him, and let him talk to himself." ”

Nie Jin was stunned, sneered, and followed her without making a sound.

The two came to the river, at this time the night is getting deeper, I don't know whether it is because of the general security in Xijing, or the tradition of men and women not having a tryst by the river, at this time by the river, there is no half of a figure, only the sound of the night wind blowing.

Zhou Qingqing found a clean open space and sat down, asked Nie Jin to take the fire fold he carried with him, lit a stack of targets on the ground, and recited a few words of missing her father and mother in his mouth, and suddenly remembered something and said: "Ah Jin, my father loves to drink, you help me buy two pots of wine." ”

Nie Jin looked around, a little hesitant: "Miss, it's too late, I'm afraid it's not too safe for you to be here alone." ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled: "Looking at the past here, there is not even a shadow of a person, you don't have to worry, just go and go back quickly." I didn't think to sacrifice my father and mother all the way, for fear that they would scold me for being unfilial! ”

Nie Jin hesitated slightly: "Then I'll go and come back quickly, Miss, you are waiting for me here." ”

Zhou Qingqing snorted, and Nie Jin's figure quickly disappeared into the night.

By the empty river, only Zhou Qingqing was left. The night wind was bleak, the flames were gently jumping, and the king of Dingxi on the target slowly turned into ashes.

She wasn't timid, and she didn't feel scared alone in the night. It's just that the night sky is too quiet, so quiet that it makes her a little confused. After tomorrow, she will live in a strange foreign king's mansion, she doesn't know what kind of person Qin Zhen is, but she is still a little frightened at the thought of sharing a bed with a strange Western Qin man.

Zhou Qingqing sighed worriedly, and suddenly heard a strange sound. He turned his head to look at the sound, but saw two figures intertwined by the river not far away.

Today is close to the middle of the moon, and it is a sunny night, and although the two people cannot see their faces clearly, they can see that they are a man and a woman under the moonlight.

When Zhou Qingqing looked over, the woman had been pressed to the ground by the man, like a little beast that was powerless to fight back, revealing two white thighs, and making a terrible scream, but the man covered her mouth again, and only heard the sound of struggle.

Zhou Qingqing is not a nosy girl, let alone in the unfamiliar Xijing City. But looking at the strong man with the black shadow, he pressed the woman tightly to the ground, and covered his mouth to prevent him from making a sound, and he knew what was going on.

She was about to leave the place of right and wrong, but she could see that the woman's voice was getting thinner and thinner, and she couldn't look down on it. Picking up a stone from the ground, the cat bent over and touched it silently.

She didn't do it badly, barely making a sound, but when she moved behind the two, the man was clearly aware of it. When he turned around and swung his fist, the stone in Zhou Qingqing's hand also smashed into his head.

His fists were fast and ruthless, and if Zhou Qingqing wanted to dodge it, he had to stop what he was doing, but saving people was important, and it was a big deal to lose both. She had to subconsciously close her eyes.

But when the fist was only two inches away from her, it suddenly stopped strangely in mid-air, obviously the man hesitated, and it was because of his hesitation that Zhou Qingqing's stone hit his forehead with a thud.

When the man's hand was relieved of his pain, the woman on the ground jumped up, flew to the surface of the water like a gust of wind, and quickly disappeared into the night with a few taps.

Zhou Qingqing felt that something was wrong at this time, firstly, that the woman's light skills were too powerful, and she was obviously not an ordinary woman. Second, she saw the appearance of the man in front of her clearly.

It was the same person who had tested the flying knife with her before. If she is not mistaken, those who are watching the excitement seem to be saying that the imperial court is arresting the Northern Zhao spies, and this black-clothed bearded man must be sent by the imperial court. According to this inference, the woman just now must be a spy.

So it's not that the night is dark and the wind is high, and the disciples bully weak women.

Why the hell is she meddling in her business, isn't it good to be a quiet fire girl?

Zhou Qingqing raised his hand and smiled dryly: "I passed by." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to slip away, but before he could take a step, his shoulder was already grabbed by a large hand. That hand was like an iron tong, which made Zhou Qingqing grin and couldn't move.

The man said coldly: "Do you know what crime to be guilty of disrupting the court's handling of cases?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhou Qingqing simply bluffed: "What do you want to do?" I can tell you that I am from the Wuwang Mansion. ”

"Martial Prince's Mansion?" The man chuckled, "I have a good relationship with your prince, otherwise I will take you to the palace and let him see what to do with you?" ”

"Don't-" Zhou Qingqing heard him say this, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "This poor master, it was really a misunderstanding just now, I thought you were bullying other girls, so I came to the rescue, but I didn't expect you to be handling a case." Your Excellency is a lot, don't bother with me, hurry up and chase that spy, right? ”

The man laughed: "Where to chase?" I finally caught someone, and you ran away. You not only disrupted the official handling of the case, but also injured the official, you said that this matter is over? ”

Zhou Qingqing turned his head with great effort, looking at him through the moonlight, and sure enough, he saw a red bump swollen on the corner of his forehead, obviously due to the stone he had just given. Didn't you knock him out?

She stumbled, "Why don't you beat me too?" ”

Although his face is swollen and affects his marriage tomorrow, maybe that Qin Zhen saw his ugly appearance and was not interested in the cave room, which is not a bad thing.

The man looked at her small black face and chuckled: "That's not necessary, but you let go of the spy just now, if you help find it, I can not send you to the government, nor do I go to sue your prince." ”

Zhou Qingqing complained bitterly in her heart, she couldn't even tell the southeast and northwest of Xijing, where to help him find a spy like that. She was thinking about how to find an excuse to get out, when suddenly her body was light, and the man had already picked her up, her feet off the ground, and jumped up with him into the depths of the night behind her.

He was extremely fast, the wind was blowing, and Zhou Qingqing's eyes couldn't open a little. By the time she reacted, the man was already standing on a tile. At this time, the man's hand moved from her shoulder to her wrist at some point, holding her firmly.

Zhou Qingqing struggled, but didn't break away.

The man stood for a moment, looked around, saw no suspicious figure, and asked in a deep voice, "Where do you think that person will go just now?" ”

Zhou Qingqing pondered for a moment and said, "It should be in Fireworks Willow Lane." ”

The man turned his head and frowned at her: "Why do you say this?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "Since she is a female spy, if you want to find out the news, it is nothing more than when the two places are the most." It's not in the palace, it's more fireworks and willow alleys where officials hang out, just now I smelled a strong smell of fat powder on her body, and her body was graceful and light, I thought it was more like a woman in a green house. ”

The man chuckled, grabbed her wrist, pulled her to himself, grabbed her waist, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to Fireworks Willow Lane." ”

He is tall and straight, Zhou Qingqing is no more than his shoulders, and his arms are even harder and stronger, like an iron wall. Zhou Qingqing was hugged by him, like holding a small beast, and the breath of a strange man was overwhelming.

She had never been so close to a man, let alone a strange man, ashamed and annoyed. But on the roof, I don't dare to struggle vigorously, the so-called man-made knife and I am fish and meat, about that.

The fireworks field in Xijing looks similar to Jinling, both gathered on the same street, and it is probably the liveliest street at night, with flickering lights and singing and dancing. The bustards were soliciting customers at the door, and the girls in the Qinglou, dressed in cool and charming clothes, stood on the second floor scratching their heads and making gestures.

The man pulled Zhou Qingqing to hide on the roof, his big hand still holding her wrist tightly, and after observing the whole street in silence for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Which one?" ”

Zhou Qingqing was teary-eyed, just said that Fireworks Willow Lane was just a random guess, and now she even asked her to guess which one? If she is really so clever, can she still be forced by him?

She pursed her lips and said casually: "The spies want to find out the news in the Qinglou, and they must be stationed in the house most frequented by dignitaries and nobles." ”

The man smiled and nodded: "It looks like it can only be Yingchun Tower." ”

Zhou Qingqing turned his head and glanced at the bearded man, and said flatteringly: "The official seems to be quite familiar with the way, why don't you let me go, you can go and hunt for the spy yourself." ”

The man chuckled lowly, looked at her with dark eyes, and did not speak, but suddenly pulled her up and jumped silently from the backlight with her in his arms.

When Zhou Qingqing reacted, he had already taken him to the light.

On the double-storey building, the words "Yingchun Building" are written.

"Two masters, please come in!" The old bustard saw two men, one tall and one short, approaching, and greeted him with a smile.

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled lowly, and walked inside with the bustard. Zhou Qingqing was reluctant to enter in the same place, the man turned his head to look at her, and the strength in his hand increased by two points: "What's the matter?" Don't want to go in? ”

Zhou Qingqing said in a low voice: "The prince will get married tomorrow, the palace is very busy, and the little one will go back too late, and the housekeeper will definitely punish him." Can an adult let a small horse go? ”

Her voice was so small that the old bustard couldn't hear it clearly, but the man heard it clearly, but he laughed loudly: "It's just fun, don't be restrained!" ”

The old bustard heard it clearly this time, and his eyes wandered over the two of them, although he couldn't see the identities of the two, but the tall man was dressed in a black nocturnal brocade robe, and the jade pendant hanging on his waist was worth a lot of money at a glance.

She smiled and said, "This little brother is the first time to come back to a place like ours, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I don't want to go out if you come in." ”

The man pulled Zhou Qingqing by his side, grabbed her shoulders, and said to the old bustard: "My little brother doesn't look dark, but he has a thin skin, and he will see the world with me for the first time, you call all the girls out, let my little brother pick one you like." ”

With that, he took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to the bustard.

Sure enough, it's the God of Wealth! The old bustard suddenly smiled and said, "No problem." ”

Zhou Qingqing was held by him, her nose was full of her breath, she wanted to struggle, but she couldn't break free, so she could only glare at him angrily.

Although she wiped a little black face, her dark eyes were watery, and her eyes were coquettish and disgusting, and there was no deterrent.

The man didn't care at all, and made a gesture to pinch her cheek, snorted, and said with a smile: "The girl in Yingchun Tower is famous for her beauty and generosity in Xijing, and the younger brother doesn't need to be shy." ”

Zhou Qingqing turned his face away, snorted, and followed him into the building.

The hall is full of staggered chips, the laughter of men and women, the rich fat powder, and the fragrance of fine wine. Zhou Qingqing frowned, and dragged her man to the old bustard, "Take us to the elegant room." ”

"Huh!" The old bustard answered again and again and led the two upstairs.

When I arrived in the private room, the sound of staggering outside was half smaller, and the smell of incense in the room was refreshing. The old bustard went out to call the girl, and the man finally let go of Zhou Qingqing's hand and sat on the pear blossom wooden chair in the room.

Zhou Qingqing, who was forcibly captured, could be described as frightened, but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and he regretted it even more when he saw the scar on the man's forehead that was smashed by himself.

Seeing her frowning and standing aside, the man smiled and asked, "Want to leave?" ”

Zhou Qingqing snorted with a grimace.

The man understated it: "If you catch someone, you will be let go." ”

Zhou Qingqing asked, "What if you can't catch it?" ”

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If I can't catch someone tonight, I have to go back and ask for guilt, so naturally I have to pull you on my back." ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered: "I'm not sent by your court, what's the use of pulling me?" ”

The man was smiling: "Don't you say that you are from the Martial King's Mansion?" Since it was the people under King Wu who disrupted our case, he naturally had to help me speak."

Zhou Qingqing squinted her eyes, always feeling that something was wrong. It stands to reason that Qin Zhen is the No. 2 person in Western Qin, and his prestige is naturally extraordinary, but in this person's words, there is no sense of awe for Qin Zhen. According to this situation, this bearded man is not familiar with Qin Zhen, or he must be an extraordinary official rank.

After all, no matter what kind of thing she is, she is in a lot of trouble.

Zhou Qingqing looked at him, pouted slightly, and stopped making a sound, thinking about how to get out.

The two were silently staring at each other, and the old bustard led a group of girls in cool clothes and delicate makeup to push the door in.

"Two masters, the girls from our Yingchun Building are here, what can you see that can be like your eyes?"

The man raised his eyebrows and swept lightly at the dozen women, and said with a smile: "Is that all?" ”

The old bustard smiled and said: "I also saw it when I came in, there are a lot of guests tonight, so I can't call the girl who is accompanying other guests too!" She didn't forget to boast to herself, "I'm not lying to the two masters, these are all first-class girls in our Yingchun Building, not all kinds of guests are accepted, I am looking at the two of them are not ordinary people, so I let them all come out, let you pick a good pick." ”

The man smiled: "Of course I won't rob the guests who are accompanying them, but there are really only these girls in Yingchun Building?" Don't hide it and be reluctant to let it out to pick up customers. ”

"What did you say? There are still two girls who haven't come out, and that's because they are unwell and are not in a hurry today. ”

The man smiled loudly and casually pointed to the two girls: "Just these two stay." ”

The old bustard nodded again and again: "Bingqing, Mengru, serve the two masters well." ”

When the bustard went out, the two girls came up and leaned next to the man who was sitting, and said softly: "Master, do you want to drink first?" Or listen to the music first? ”

I don't know if it's because of professionalism, or the appearance of this bearded man, who is quite popular in Xijing. These two girls were incredibly attentive.

The man quietly pushed the two away, pointed at Zhou Qingqing, who was standing a few steps away, and said with a smile: "My little brother is back here, you can serve him well." ”

Zhou Qingqing didn't understand that he was making trouble, obviously he was here to arrest people, but he was really having fun, and he dragged him into the water.

Thank you!

The two girls immediately rushed towards Zhou Qingqing, pulled Zhou Qingqing to sit down opposite her, one hugged her, and the other poured wine. The girl who was holding her had a turbulent chest in her arms. Zhou Qingqing's little face was pressed against her soft chest, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

The man opposite took a glass of wine and took a sip, but looked at her with unclear meaning, and laughed out loud when he saw her wolf-like.

Zhou Qingqing thought about it with his toes, and knew that this guy was clearly deliberate. She is a quasi-princess, and she is really depressed when she is teased like this by a bearded reckless man. Simply pushed the two girls away, and the wine glass in the hand of one of them fell to the ground.

The two girls were startled and wanted to step forward to appease, but she slammed the table and said to the man who was drinking unhurriedly: "It seems that the Western Qin Imperial Court is no more than Erer, and the official who came out on an errand still has the heart to drink flower wine, so he will not accompany him."

After she finished speaking, she walked quickly towards the door, but she had just stepped out of the threshold, and the collar behind her neck was grabbed from behind, and she didn't have to think about it to know who it was.

Zhou Qingqing scolded her mother silently, and was about to accept her fate, but her eyes suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in the brightly lit downstairs.

She subconsciously shouted: "Ah Jin! ”

Nie Jin looked up and saw that his young lady was being dragged back. Ignoring anything else, he stepped on a table and jumped up.

Before the door closed, the person had already leaped into the room and attacked the man behind Zhou Qingqing.

Seeing this, the man took advantage of the situation and pulled the person in front of him back to meet Nie Jin's moves.

Between the lightning and flint, dozens of moves have passed, and the tables and chairs crackled and fell. The two women in the room screamed in fright.

Nie Jin didn't use all his strength, firstly, because he was afraid of hurting his own young lady, and secondly, he wanted to test the depth of this person first. And obviously the other party has hidden a few points, and he is by no means an ordinary master.

When he recognized this person as the one who threw the flying knife before, he took two steps back and stopped, held each other a few feet apart, and said with his fists clenched: "I don't know what my son-in-law did to let Your Excellency hijack here?" ”

The man waved his hand and motioned for the two shivering women in the room to go out. The two men ran faster than the rabbit as if they had been pardoned.

The man smiled at Nie Jin: "Should I be arrested for obstructing the official handling the case and injuring the official handling the case?" ”

Nie Jin's gaze fell on the wound on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched. As a person who has been born and died on the field, he is a little reluctant to admit that it is an injury.

At this time, probably the two girls went to report just now, and there were a few Qinglou guards outside, and the old bustard broke in in a panic, saw the chair that fell to the ground, and shouted: "Hey, what's wrong with the masters?" Harmony and anger make money! ”

Zhou Qingqing took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people in front of him, quietly moved his body, and quickly ran towards Nie Jin. Helplessly, she was still a step slower, and when Nie Jin grabbed her, the man behind her also grabbed her other hand.

In the room, two tall and tall men pulled a thin and short man.

The old bustard has never seen any strong winds and waves, and there are often things like fighting for the wind and jealousy in this green building, but to fight for the wind is also to compete for their Oiran head card in the Spring Building. At present, these two talented men are competing for a young man who is not good-looking.

In the aesthetics of Western Qin, he prefers tall and rugged and likes masculinity. Therefore, whether it is the well-defined Nie Jin or the unruly bearded man, they can all be called a talent. As for Zhou Qingqing's little boy dressed as a man, she is a little unsightly.

The bustard was a little confused.

The two grabbed Zhou Qingqing, although they didn't dare to use force, neither of them let go, and looked at each other coldly.

Because the identities of these two people are unknown, they are all masters at first glance, and the Qinglou guards dare not act rashly.

At this moment, the sound of a crowd pouring in suddenly sounded, and there was a chaotic movement downstairs. I could hear the sound of footsteps, and I walked upstairs in a procession.

When the bustard looked back, his face turned white with fright. It turned out that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who entered with swords occupied this green building.

A man who looked like a military attache hurriedly came in, and when he saw the scene in the house, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Bold! ”

The object of scolding is Nie Jin.

However, Nie Jin was unmoved, but the bearded man let go of his hand first, and said lightly to the military attaché: "Why are you here now?" ”

Zhou Qingqing finally got a chance and quickly hid behind Nie Jin.

"Back to the prince, my subordinates have sent people to surround several green buildings in the vicinity, and the spies will never escape."

This sound of the prince frightened the old bustard only shivering.

Zhou Qingqing was stunned, it turned out to be a prince, no wonder he was not afraid of Qin Zhen. Xijing said that it is not big, it is not small, and there must be a few people who can be called the prince. However, the prince who came out to handle the case in person was not too noble.

The prince looked at Nie Jin, then at Zhou Qingqing behind him, and said with a loud smile: "I have a slight friendship with Martial King Qin Zhen, since this little brother is from the Martial King Mansion, I will let you go!" ”

When he said this, the military attache in front of him looked at him in confusion.

Nie Jin hugged his fists expressionlessly and thanked him, seeing that there were officers and soldiers all around, he didn't want to stay long, so he dragged Zhou Qingqing and walked out.

After a while, the military attache came back to his senses and asked tentatively, "Lord Wang, who was it just now?" Why haven't I seen it in the palace? ”

The man smiled meaninglessly, "You'll see you soon." ”
