After an hour of walking, the light finally came in. Zhou Qingqing was so cold that her whole body was stiff, her lips and teeth were white, and she was almost about to fall into the water, but Qin Zhen was still on the bamboo raft behind her, and she couldn't fall down.

Instinctively closed her eyes at the light, and then opened them again, and saw that it was at the entrance of the cave in the distance, and the strength that had been lost suddenly returned, and she almost cried with joy.

Turning his head to the man on the bamboo raft: "Lord Wang, we have arrived!" ”

Qin Zhen let out a low hum in response to her.

Zhou Xun, who was shivering with cold, also shouted: "Sister, we finally came out!" ”

Nie Jin, who had always been calm, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Shizi, let's hurry up and go ashore to make a fire to keep warm, otherwise I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to support it." ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded again and again.

The three of them quickly got out of the cave and hurriedly got Qin Zhen ashore. The four of them were all drenched in water, and when the wind blew on the shore, it was even colder.

Nie Jin and Zhou Xun drilled wood to make fire, but Zhou Qingqing didn't care about his coldness, and hugged Qin Zhen and rubbed his body vigorously to warm him up.

Although Qin Zhen's face was frighteningly white, the black on his hands had almost receded, and Zhou Qingqing was thankful.

At this time, they didn't care about the defense of men and women, the fire started, Nie Jin and Zhou Xun left the place to Zhou Qingqing, and the two went to the side and made another fire, with their backs to this side.

After the catastrophe, Zhou Qingqing didn't have the heart to think about anything else at all, so he took off his and Qin Zhen's clothes and hung them by the fire to bake, and hugged him to keep warm.

Because the fire was burning vigorously and the clothes were quickly dried, Zhou Qingqing put them on for the two, and her body finally warmed up, but she still sneezed again and again, and froze in the water for an hour, but she still caught a cold.

But for her, it's just a trivial problem.

Qin Zhen finally opened his eyes, looked at the person sitting beside him red, slowly reached out and held her hand hanging down at his waist, and said in a weak voice: "Qingqing......"

Zhou Qingqing turned his head to look at him, held his fingers back, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Wang, we're fine!" ”

Although he was smiling, tears rolled down his face.

Qin Zhen also smiled: "It's okay!" ”

Nie Jin walked over with an expressionless face: "Miss, although this place has already left Yandu, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, once Feng Xiao discovers the underground river, he will definitely chase after him immediately." The prince and I had stored two horses at a nearby farmhouse, and we took them and left. ”

Zhou Qingqing looked at the people on the ground worriedly.

Qin Zhen pulled the corners of his mouth, struggled to sit up, gritted his teeth and said, "I can hold it!" ”

Nie Jin nodded and said from the bottom of his heart: "In my life, Nie Jin, except for Miss's father, King Dingxi, the only thing I admire is you, the prince." ”

Qin Zhen laughed at himself angrily: "Do you admire me for becoming such a ghost?" ”

Zhou Qingqing saw that he began to ridicule himself, but he was a little relieved.

The three of them did not dare to delay, extinguished the fire, and began to set off. Nie Jin carried Qin Zhen on his back, and Zhou Qingqing's sister and brother followed, and the farmer's house was not far away.

But half a pillar of incense came to the end.

The farmer had received a large sum of silver at that time, and now seeing that Qin Zhen was injured, he guessed that his identity was extraordinary, so he hurriedly gave the horses to a few people and sent some dry food.

There are two horses, one for Zhou Qingqing and Qin Zhen, and one for Nie Jin and Zhou Xun. It wasn't until they reached the next city that the four dared to stop and rest.

After finding an inn to live in, Zhou Qingqing hurriedly found a doctor to come to the door, until the doctor took the pulse for a while, saying that Qin Zhen was not in danger of his life, but it would take a while to recover, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Qin Zhen and cried with joy.

Qin Zhen weakly patted her arm to comfort him: "It seems that there is a saying that is right!" ”

"What?"

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "The scourge is left behind for a thousand years. ”

Zhou Qingqing couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "It's all this time, you still have the heart to joke." ”

Qin Zhen chuckled: "I want to make you happy." ”

Zhou Qingqing lay next to him: "As long as you live, I will be happy." ”

Qin Zhen gently held her hand: "I made you suffer!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he paused and said, "Other people's princesses are not blessed with fine clothes and food, only you follow me, either frightened, or in danger, and never let you live a good life." I'm sorry for you! ”

Zhou Qingqing cried and shook his head.

Qin Zhen continued: "When we return to Western Qin, I will take care of my body, and we will have another child and give birth to four or five." ”

Zhou Qingqing knew what he was thinking? He was uncomfortable with their first child being strangled by Feng Xiao.

She nodded, "Yes." ”

After dinner, the four of them gathered in a room to discuss what was going on. Of course, Qin Zhen was lying on the bed, and the other three were sitting.

This time, everyone was able to get out of danger, all thanks to Zhou Xun. Now that he has settled down, Zhou Qingqing has come to his mind and takes a serious look at his own brother.

A fourteen-year-old boy is not big, but saving people in the palace must have risked his greatest courage.

Zhou Qingqing thought for a while and said, "Xun'er, you are a proton, and it will be embarrassing to go back to Southern Zhou like this now, so you might as well want to go to Xiqin with us." ”

Zhou Xun hesitated, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "No, I can't just go to Xiqin with you, my sister is still in Jinling." Moreover, King Rui of Northern Zhao looked at it as a wolf ambition, but he was afraid that the prince proton placed in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was just a disguise, but it was just to let the Southern Zhou court relax its vigilance, and once the time was ripe, I was afraid that he would wave his troops south. Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty divides the Yan Land, it is very convenient for them to attack the Southern Zhou. I have to go back and tell the emperor everything Zhao Nianzhi has done......"

Zhou Qingqing said: "I'm afraid that the emperor won't believe you and punish you!" ”

Zhou Xun said disapprerovingly: "Then I at least have a clear conscience, anyway, the emperor will not punish me with capital punishment for my father's sake, and I will act when the time comes." ”

Zhou Qingqing looked at the determined young man, and sighed in his heart, his younger brother already had his own ideas and decisions, presumably the father under Jiuquan would be very relieved to see his son like this.

She thought for a moment: "Then you can take care of yourself and be smart." If it doesn't work, find an opportunity to come to Xiqin quickly. ”

Zhou Xun nodded and said with a smile: "If Jinling falls, I can only take my sister to you and my brother-in-law." After that, he looked at Qin Zhen on the bed, "Brother-in-law, don't dislike me when the time comes!" ”

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "My life was saved by Brother Xun, you are coming to Xiqin, and I will make you a prince." ”

Zhou Xun waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "You don't need this, just give you food when the time comes." ”

Zhou Qingqing saw the two of them gag, and laughed out loud.
