Feng Xiao said: "I sent someone to re-investigate all the Qinglou in Beijing, the officials' prostitutes, and the palace music workshop, and found more than ten spies. Although Peony has not been caught yet, the city gates have stepped up the inspection of entry and exit, and she should still be in Xijing City. ”

Qin Zhen nodded: "When Nie Jin went to chase the peony that day, he said that he was robbed by a master. Nie Jin is not from Xijing, so he naturally won't do his best to catch people, but since he said that he is a master, it must be really not simple. ”

Zhou Qingqing: What does it mean not to do your best?

Qin Zhen continued: "The geisha arrested before were just the pawns of Northern Zhao Bu in Xijing. Peony and the people who saved her are the ones who can really make waves. We must do our best to uproot that line, otherwise once Northern Zhao declares war, we will have to deal with the border with all our might, and they will then take the opportunity to disturb the situation in Beijing, and the consequences will be unimaginable. “

Feng Xiao said: "What the prince said is that the top priority now is to find the peony. He was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand, "It is important for the prince to recuperate from his injuries, so these things will be handed over to his subordinates." ”

Qin Zhen nodded and smiled: "Only if I hand it over to you, I can rest assured, I will bother you these days." ”

Feng Xiao bowed down and said, "Serving the prince is Feng Xiao's business. ”

When he left, Zhou Qingqing subconsciously turned his head slightly to look at his back, and this small action fell in Qin Zhen's eyes. He chuckled lightly and said jokingly: "Does my lieutenant general have a handsome posture and outstanding talent?" ”

"yes." Zhou Qingqing was stunned for a moment, casually perfunctory, but for some reason his face was a little hot, and a faint flush appeared.

Qin Zhen saw it in his eyes, a pair of handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, a smile on his face rose, he stood up and said, "Help me go back to the room to rest." ”

Zhou Qingqing hurriedly walked around to him and carefully helped him up.

Back in the room, Qin Zhen lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and soon breathed heavily. Zhou Qingqing thought he was asleep and was about to tiptoe away, but the person on the bed said coldly: "Sit next to me and accompany me!" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "I see that the prince looks much better today, he shouldn't need to be taken care of by the side, I'm outside, if there is something to call me." ”

Qin Zhen half-opened his eyes to look at her, and said unhurriedly: "Do you know what it means to take your husband as the sky?" I don't like to say it a second time. ”

Zhou Qingqing looked innocent: "Lord Wang, what did you say?" ”

Qin Zhen glared at her, then closed his eyes again, and his angular face was still a little pale, without a trace of expression.

Zhou Qingqing flattened his mouth, compared with this person, his Taoism was obviously slightly inferior. After a moment's hesitation, she sat down on the edge of the bed. Yesterday I watched him until midnight, and this morning I served him to eat and take medicine, and helped him for a walk. I wanted to take advantage of his rest and go out to take a breath by myself, but I didn't want him to be so unreasonable.

The man had to bow her head under the eaves, but she had the urge to beat the man up.

Qin Zhen slept until the evening, and Zhou Qingqing also sat next to him until the evening.

When he slept this night, it was really a lot of recovery. His face was not as pale as before, and his lips were bloody. When Zhou Qingqing saw him open his eyes, he immediately squinted and bent his mouth, making a smile that was too fake to be fake: "Lord Wang, you're awake!" ”

Qin Zhen glanced at her lightly, and then said with a smile: "After dinner, you go out with me and call Nie Jin too." ”

Zhou Qingqing was stunned: "You are seriously injured, if there is nothing wrong, don't go out." ”

Qin Zhen squinted at her: "Care about me so much? I'm really impressed. ”

Zhou Qingqing laughed twice without smiling: "I'm afraid that you will die and you will bury me." ”

Qin Zhen also chuckled, lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed.

However, after dinner, he went out of the gate and got into the carriage, and Qin Zhen didn't say what he was doing when he went out. Zhou Qingqing couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, where are we going?" ”

Qin Zhen closed his eyes and said lightly: "I'll know when I get there." ”

Zhou Qingqing couldn't help but slander him for this trickery, grinning at him angrily, and the person sitting opposite suddenly opened his eyes lightly, making her expression freeze on her face.

Qin Zhen said lightly: "If the princess is dissatisfied with me and thinks that I am not good, just say it." I'm not someone who only listens to good words. ”

Zhou Qingqing's face was overjoyed: "Really? If I directly say that the prince is not, the prince will not condemn me? ”

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows and nodded: "As long as what you say is in line with the truth, I will listen to it." Zhou Qingqing was about to open his mouth to complain about his dissatisfaction with him, but he listened to him and said unhurriedly, "Of course, the whole country of Western Qin knows that Martial King Qin Zhen is a perfect person. ”

Zhou Qingqing's mouth was still open, and finally closed it speechlessly.

I have lived for sixteen years, and I have never seen such a brazen person.

She turned her head away from him, and there was silence in the car for a moment.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of Mavre outside, and the car gradually stopped. The horseman's respectful voice came in: "Lord Wang, the East City Gate has arrived." ”

Qin Zhen snorted and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Qingqing to help him get out of the car.

Outside the car, Nie Jin, who had been sitting in front of the car before, finally spoke curiously: "Lord Wang, what are you doing here?" ”

Qin Zhen waved his hand for the coachman to step back, and said in a low voice: "Today is the traditional autumn festival day of the Western Qin, and the monks and nuns of the temples and nunnery in the city will leave the city after the time and go to the foot of the West Mountain to hold a sacrifice ceremony. If Peony is still in the city, this is a good opportunity for him to get out of the city. ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "Then you send someone to investigate carefully, what do you want us to do?" ”

Qin Zhen stretched out his finger and made a small gesture on his lips, leading the two of them up to the city tower, and said in a low voice: "If you send someone to investigate, you will definitely leak the news, do you think Peony will be stupid enough to throw itself into the net?" Moreover, the status of the monks in Xijing is extremely high, and the autumn sacrifice is a very important thing, if you can't arrest people, you will disturb the monks and nuns to worship, and I, the prince, will also be blamed. ”

Zhou Qingqing pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Then shouldn't you just call us?" What can Ah Jin and I do? ”

Qin Zhen smiled in a low voice: "First, you are not from Western Qin, so you can ensure that the rumor will not be leaked." Second, Nie Jin has strong martial arts and a calm personality, if he really finds a peony, he can not only help arrest him, but also not disturb the monks. Do you need a third point? ”

Nie Jin's face was paralyzed, and the corners of his mouth twitched rarely.

Zhou Qingqing was really speechless, and was silent for a moment before he said quietly: "Ah Jin is my guard, you will make the best use of it." ”

Qin Zhen said: "The princess's people are not my people. Are you right, Nie Guard? ”

Nie Jin reached out and touched his nose, his expression was scornful, and he mumbled vaguely.

The people stationed in the city tower are all low-level soldiers, and there are not many people who recognize Qin Zhen, especially now that he no longer has a beard. But the token of the Wuwang Mansion in his hand was a pass, and the soldiers didn't dare to ask more, so they respectfully gave way and led the three of them up to the city tower.

As night fell, a full moon crept into the air, and torches were lit on both sides of the gates to light the way for the traveling monks. Before the time passed, the monks of the various temples began to leave the city one after another.

Xiqin heavy Buddha, dozens of temples and nunnery in the city, but most of them are temples, and there are only a few nunnery. If Peony wants to go out of the city, she can only mingle among the nuns, and the three of them have to carefully observe the nuns who go out of the city.

Zhou Qingqing looked at the nuns who finished walking the team and said, "These nuns are all dressed the same, not to mention that Ah Jin and I have only seen the peony once, but we have seen it many times, I am afraid that we will only recognize it when we stand in front of us." ”

Qin Zhen wrote lightly: "Don't worry, if she wants to stand in front of you, you may not recognize it, after all, if she wants to go out of the city among the nuns, she will change her appearance eight times out of ten." However, Peony has been in the palace for many years, and I am very familiar with her figure. As soon as she appears, I can see it at a glance. ”

Zhou Qingqing squinted at him, unclear meaning, but did not speak.

Qin Zhen turned his head to meet her eyes in the night, and smiled, "I know what you're thinking?" Don't worry, although Peony is one of the four great servants in Xijing, she hasn't entered my Qin Zhen's eyes yet, it's just that every time she enters the palace, the imperial brother will ask her to play music to help the fun. ”

Zhou Qingqing chuckled: "I just didn't expect that you, a person who led troops to fight, also knew how to appreciate dance and music." ”

The implication is that he is a rough man.

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows: "I not only understand, but also play!" When I am healed, I will play a song for you, and I will keep you ashamed of yourself. ”

Zhou Qingqing glanced at the rough big hands of his martial arts practitioners, sneered, and disagreed.

Nie Jin on the side was not affected by the bickering between the two, he kept looking at the monks who were out of the city below, and reminded him seriously: "Lord Wang, if you find that spy, you will point it to me immediately, and I will never let her run away this time." ”

Qin Zhen smiled and said to Zhou Qingqing again: "Did you see it?" Your guards are much more sensible than you are. You are now my Xiqin person, and you have to learn to do things for Xiqin. ”

Zhou Qingqing snorted lightly and ignored him no longer.

The night was getting darker, and the three of them waited on the city wall for nearly an hour, waiting until Zhou Qingqing's patience was almost exhausted, and was about to ask Qin Zhen when it would end, when she suddenly grabbed her hand, and then whispered to Nie Jin: "The one with his head down in the middle is." ”

Nie Jin drew his sword, jumped down from the city wall, and rushed straight at the man. And the woman in the silk robe reacted quickly, and when Nie Jin flew down from the city wall, she had already jumped up from the crowd and rushed out of the city gate.

The monks, who were still slowly leaving the city, were in a commotion. Fortunately, they are all people who eat fasting and recite Buddha, and they are much calmer and calmer than ordinary people, so as not to panic and riot.

The soldiers stationed at the gate of the city didn't know what was going on, but they saw two people with extraordinary skills fighting, and naturally they didn't know who to help. Of course, no matter who you help, at most you will add to the chaos or send yourself to death, so you will continue to honestly guard the city gate and be a spectator by the way.

Originally, I thought that the peony was alone, but I didn't want Nie Jin to catch up with her just now, but two nuns emerged from the nun team. The two of them had mediocre martial arts, but they had a clear goal, and they only wanted to entangle Nie Jin and let Peony take the opportunity to escape.

Although Nie Jin has killed countless people, he also believes in the reincarnation of cause and effect, and there are too many monks around, so he is not good at killing. For a while, he was entangled by two fake nuns and couldn't get out.

Seeing that the peony was about to flee, she disappeared into the night outside the city. Zhou Qingqing was in a hurry, and pulled out the sword of the little soldier next to him. Qin Zhen's "Don't move" hadn't fallen yet, and she had already jumped off the city wall.

She rushed forward to join the fight, freeing Nie Jin from the grappling: "Ah Jin, you go and chase the peony, don't let him run anymore!" ”

"Miss-" Nie Jin was not at ease.

"I can handle it." Zhou Qingqing said, "Go quickly!" ”

Nie Jin gritted his teeth, and finally chased forward.

These two fake nuns are comparable to Zhou Qingqing, but two against one, Zhou Qingqing is naturally difficult to deal with.

Qin Zhen on the city wall, looking at the people fighting below, his face turned blue with anger, and he supported it with his hand, wanting to jump down, but found that he couldn't lift his strength, so he had to give up. Seeing the little soldier next to him, he was still stunned, and said angrily: "Go and help!" ”

"Which one to help?" The creeps are getting more and more stupid.

Qin Zhen came up with a burst of anger and roared, "Catch those two nuns!" ”
