After the eldest princess left, Qin Zhen turned around and entered the house, Nie Jin glanced at Zhou Qingqing, and seeing her calm, he had to lower his voice and said, "Miss, you go and admit your mistake to the prince." ”

Zhou Qingqing frowned, it wasn't that she didn't want to admit her mistake, but she really didn't know what she was wrong. After thinking about it, he looked up and saw Nie Jin's worried look, so he chuckled: "Ah Jin, don't worry, since he is willing to let you be punished for me, it must not be a big deal." ”

Nie Jin nodded, he had only seen Qin Zhen a few times, so he naturally didn't know much about it. At first glance, it seems to have the common flamboyance and uninhibition of the Western Qin people, but it seems to be treacherous and unfathomable. Her young lady seems to be smart, but in fact she is not deeply involved in the world, if she doesn't know how to be flexible, I'm afraid she will suffer in front of Qin Zhen.

Zhou Qingqing didn't know what he was thinking, so he only winked at him and walked towards the door.

In the room where the oil lamp was flickering, Qin Zhen was sitting at the mahogany table drinking tea, when he heard Zhou Qingqing come in, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her, and then put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and pointed to the opposite side: "Sit." ”

Zhou Qingqing saw him angry for the first time today, although the anger came inexplicably, but I have to say that he was like that, which was really a little frightening. She was uncertain about him for a while, but she was a little apprehensive, so she cautiously walked over and sat down, and asked tentatively, "Lord Wang, are you angry?" ”

Qin Zhen glanced at him lightly and said coldly: "Do you know it's wrong? ”

Zhou Qingqing was born in Jiangmen, and he knew how to detour, so he nodded with a smile: "I know." ”

Qin Zhen asked again: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Qingqing hesitated slightly, and then said: "I shouldn't have jumped off the city tower to arrest people without the prince's order." ”

Qin Zhen finally showed a habitual smile on his face: "Thinking that you are a first-time offender, this king will not bother with you." ”

Zhou Qingqing pursed his lips, his eyes turned slyly again, and he hit the snake with the stick: "Lord Wang, you have also been punished, and you still say that you don't care?" Besides, if Peony is caught, I can be regarded as meritorious, why don't you say the reward? ”

Qin Zhen hooked his lips and smiled: "It has always been my principle to distinguish rewards and punishments, of course I want to reward you." ”

With that, he raised his hand and hooked his finger at her.

Zhou Qingqing didn't know why, so he leaned forward slightly and hummed.

Qin Zhen continued to hook his fingers: "Isn't it a reward?" Come back a little more. ”

Zhou Qingqing saw that he was smiling with an unknown meaning, and became more and more confused, frowned, leaned forward again, and looked at him with a pair of big dark eyes.

Qin Zhen chuckled, suddenly stepped forward and pressed her lips, Zhou Qingqing subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the big palm he stretched out fixed the back of her head, blocking her retreat.

Fortunately, the kiss was not long, he only took her lips in his mouth, licked her soft lips with bad intentions, then withdrew slightly, took the hand behind her head, moved to the front, touched the corner of her mouth, tilted his head and smiled: "Is this reward lady satisfied?" ”

Zhou Qingqing's cheeks had already turned red into two pieces of Feixia, and he angrily pulled his hand away, stepped back, and said sarcastically: "The prince is really rewarded and punished!" ”

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?" ”

Zhou Qingqing couldn't compare to his brazenness, so he only stretched out and said: "I don't expect the prince to give me any reward, but I hope that in the future, I won't unconsciously touch the prince's scales." ”

Qin Zhen smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at her quietly, but did not make a sound.

This night, the two slept together and were safe.

After noon the next day, the fourth princess Qin Luo and Feng Xiao entered the mansion to report the interrogation of the spies.

When the two entered the small courtyard, Zhou Qingqing was being forced by Qin Zhen to play with the sword, saying that he was not quite capable last night, and asked her to show his hands to him.

As soon as Qin Luo entered the small courtyard, his eyes lit up when he saw this scene: "It turns out that the third sister-in-law knows martial arts." After that, he raised his eyebrows, shook the long whip in his hand, and said with a smile, "Then I will learn and understand." ”

The long whip swept through the wind and let out a whistling, Zhou Qingqing was so frightened that he jumped back two feet, so he could avoid the long whip that passed by, and quickly dropped the sword in his hand and said: "Fourth princess, I just know how to embroider my legs, how dare I compete with you!" ”

Qin Luo was unrelenting: "The daughter of the king of Dingxi County, how can she embroider her legs?" The third sister-in-law, don't look down on me? Let's try a few tricks, and stop at the point. ”

Zhou Qingqing hurriedly ran behind Qin Zhen and hid: "No need to compare, no need to compare, I just admit defeat." ”

Qin Zhen laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Fourth sister, although the princess is your sister-in-law, she is still a few years younger than you, don't bully others." ”

Qin Luo just gave up, she was tall, her eyebrows and eyes looked a little similar to Qin Zhen, although she did not have the feminine color, the whole person was heroic and radiant.

She smiled and said to Qin Zhen: "Third brother, last night I interrogated the spies in the prison overnight, abolished their muscles and veins, sealed their acupoints, and made them unable to sleep, unable to die if they wanted to, and unable to survive torture, and recruited all those who should be recruited." Only the peony had a hard mouth, and he didn't say a word. ”

Feng Xiao echoed: "Peony is not an ordinary spy, and I won't confess lightly." But don't worry, I'm investigating people who have been in contact with her, she has been in Xijing for many years, and she must have left a lot of clues. ”

Qin Luo was a little arrogant and said, "What if you are hard-mouthed? The people who have survived three days under my Qin Luo have not yet come out of their mother's womb. ”

Feng Xiao chuckled: "The fourth princess is indeed a good means. ”

Qin Luo also smiled: "I don't dare to say good means, but naturally I can't show mercy to the enemy, I can't learn from Feng Xiao, I haven't even killed anyone." ”

Zhou Qingqing looked at Feng Xiao silently, only to see him bow his head slightly, and there was a hint of color between his eyebrows.

Qin Zhen laughed: "Fourth sister, don't bully my princess and bully Feng Xiao again." ”

Qin Luo chuckled, turned his head to look, and said to Zhou Qingqing: "Sister-in-law of the princess, where is your Nie guard?" ”

Zhou Qingqing sighed.

Qin Luo said again: "I want to find him to learn martial arts." ”

Zhou Qingqing was speechless for a while, how could these four princesses be so persistent in finding someone to compete?

Qin Zhen shook his head and smiled: "You can't beat Nie Guard, so don't humiliate yourself." ”

"How do you know you can't beat if you haven't beaten it? I haven't seen a few people in the Southern Zhou who have real skills. ”

As a few people were talking, a person who looked like a court soldier suddenly ran in in a panic outside: "The prince is not good!" ”

Qin Zhen frowned: "What happened?" ”

The man said Ai Ai: "Peony ...... Peony is dead! ”

"What?" The crowd was almost unanimous.

"Peony is dead."

Qin Zhen's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked in a deep voice, "When did you die?" How did he die? ”

"Just before the half-pillar incense, when the jailer brought her food, he found that she was foaming at the mouth and was out of breath, so he called the imperial doctor, saying that she was poisoned and died."

Qin Luo said in a loud voice: "How is it possible? I personally checked and there was no poison on her. ”

Qin Zhen was silent for a moment with a calm face, and sneered: "Needless to say, there must be people from us in the heavenly prison as well." He paused, "It seems that Bei Zhao is really well-intentioned." ”

Qin Luo stomped his feet in annoyance, and whipped the locust tree next to him: "Third brother, what should we do now?" ”

Qin Zhen's angular face became gloomy: "All the spies in the heavenly prison will be executed immediately, and the corpses will be hung at the city gate to show the public." Starting tonight, there will be a curfew in the whole city of Xijing, and the soldiers, horses, food, and grass will be ready, and I will leave tomorrow to return to the eastern border. ”

Zhou Qingqing was stunned, looking at his still somewhat pale face: "Lord Wang, even if the Northern Zhao Xizheng wants to start a war with Western Qin, you have to wait until your injuries are better before leaving." ”

Qin Zhen glanced at him, hooked his lips and smiled, "Why do you think I was injured?" Why have spies been so active in Xijing City recently? Previously, Beizhao used a team of light cavalry to sneak attack the eastern border, and after luring me out, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill me, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, so he let the spies in Xijing carry out a big activity, so I was distracted in Beijing and had no time to take care of the situation in the east. If I'm not mistaken, we will receive a tip in the next two days, and the Northern Zhao army is already on its way to Western Qin. If I wait until their army approaches, I will go to put the horses in order, but I am afraid it will be too late. ”

"But ......," Zhou Qingqing looked at him worriedly.

Qin Zhen waved his hand: "I'm injured, although I can't go to the battlefield, but commanding in the camp is not a problem." "That's it," he said, "Fourth sister, you immediately go to the south to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to the east to support." ”

Qin Luo snorted: "I'll leave tonight." ”

Qin Zhen nodded, and said to Feng Xiao again: "You don't have to worry about the affairs in the capital, I will report to the emperor later, and let him hand it over to the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division, you can prepare and follow me to the eastern border tomorrow." ”

Feng Xiao bowed and clenched his fists: "Yes, Lord Wang!" ”

Wait for Qin Luo and Feng Xiao to leave. Qin Zhen looked at Zhou Qingqing again: "You also prepare, and set off with me tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Qingqing was slightly stunned, originally she was still shocked by Qin Zhen's decision, and such a quick style of cutting through the chaos, the heart of the God of War Martial King, really deserved its name. I don't want him to suddenly let myself follow, so I don't want to have a land: "Lord, you go to war, what am I going to do?" ”

Although she is now the princess of Western Qin, Western Qin is not her homeland after all, this country that once fought the Southern Zhou Dynasty for a long time, and the emerging Northern Zhao is facing each other, she really doesn't care much about where the two countries go.

Qin Zhen knew her thoughts, and smiled: "You also said that I was seriously injured and has not recovered, and you, as a princess, will naturally take care of me." ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled, and said in a strange manner: "I'm afraid that the prince wants me to follow, not just want me to take care of it." ”

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows and said very calmly: "Of course, because where are you?" Where is your Nie guard? ”

Zhou Qingqing raised his voice dissatisfied: "Qin Zhen, what do you want Nie Jin to do for you?" ”

Qin Zhen smiled: "Nie Jin is from your father's command, he was your father's deputy general, and he must have inherited the combat talent of the king of Dingxi. Since Beizhao has released so many spies in Xijing, the army is naturally spared. I'm afraid that they already know Qin Zhen's combat techniques very well, so I need Nie Jin to help me. Seeing that she was angry, she hooked her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let him go to the battlefield, just deploy troops with me in the camp." ”

"You can't let him do dangerous things anyway."

"You care a lot about your guard, why don't you care about whether my husband will do dangerous things."

Zhou Qingqing blurted out: "Can you compare with him?" ”
