29. Chapter XXIX
The soldiers defending the city finally came forward and surrounded the two fake nuns. Zhou Qingqing withdrew and looked at the torn clothes on his arms.
Sure enough, there is still a lack of practical experience.
With the support of the little soldiers, Qin Zhen finally slowly walked down the city tower, covered his chest and came to Zhou Qingqing's side, only to see that his face was pale, and he scolded coldly: "Who told you to come down?" ”
Zhou Qingqing was stunned: "I saw that Ah Jin was entangled, and the spy almost escaped, so I came down to help." ”
Qin Zhen repeated word by word: "Who asked you to come down?" ”
His eyes were as cold as ice, full of anger, and his face, which had been uninhibited, was now as intimidating as Shura. Zhou Qingqing was also a little annoyed by his sudden anger, threw the sword in his hand to the ground with a bang, and raised his head and cross-examined: "You said that I want to learn to do things for Xiqin, if the spy runs away today, we should be blamed for not doing our best!" ”
Qin Zhen choked in one breath, clutched his chest, and was speechless. Just as Nie Jin came back with the peony, Qin Zhen raised his hand and pointed at the person in front of him, and said, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”
Peony's green hair hung down, and Nie Jin's hands were cut back, wanting to struggle, but he was powerless. At this time, several of Qin Zhen's subordinates appeared at the city gate, and Qin Zhen waved his hand: "Take the peony girl back to the palace prison, and take care of it, but don't let her have any three strengths and two weaknesses." ”
The two stepped forward to tie people up, but the poor beauty was also fierce: "Qin Zhen dog thief, I don't share the sky with you Beizhao, you don't want to know any news from me." The lion of Northern Zhao will one day set foot on your land. ”
Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled disdainfully: "Stepping on our West Qin?" Is it just up to a few of you women? ”
Peony laughed: "Qin Zhen, the sins you made in Western Qin will have to be repaid sooner or later." ”
Qin Zhen waved his hand, motioned to take the person away, and looked at Zhou Qingqing again: "What are you doing in a daze?" Come back with me. ”
Nie Jin also saw that his expression was wrong, and glanced at his own young lady, only to see her sneering lightly, her lips moving a few times, as if she was scolding silently. He whispered, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Qingqing whispered back to him: "Who knows? ”
When the three of them returned to the Wuwang Mansion, Qin Zhen was still angry, and after entering the small courtyard, he turned around and looked at the person behind him with a cold face, and repeated his previous words: "Who let you go down?" ”
Zhou Qingqing said: "What's the matter with you? I went down to catch Peony, and as you can see, if I hadn't pestered those two fake nuns, maybe I would have let Peony run away again this time! ”
Qin Zhen snorted coldly: "It seems that you haven't recognized your identity yet." ”
Zhou Qingqing frowned: "Lord Wang, what did I do wrong?" ”
Qin Zhen said: "I was on the city tower just now, and I obviously asked you not to move, but you turned a deaf ear. It seems that you don't take me as a prince in your eyes at all, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules. You are my princess, and if you violate my will, you will break the rules of the house. You knelt in this courtyard for half an hour tonight, and reflected. ”
Zhou Qingqing's eyes widened, unable to believe what his ears heard: "You-"
Seeing her flushed face and angry, Nie Jin hurriedly stopped in front of her, expressionless, but said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, my young lady has not long entered the palace, and it is inevitable that she does not understand some rules. If she does something wrong today, I will punish her. ”
Qin Zhen laughed twice: "Nie Guard, if you help me catch the peony today, I should have rewarded you well, but if you want to be punished for your young lady, I won't stop you." ”
Seeing Nie Jinpu kneeling on the ground, he entered the house with cold eyes covering his chest.
Zhou Qingqing stood in place, squinted at him and saw him close the door, and hurriedly pulled Nie Jin: "Ah Jin, you get up, why did he let you kneel."
Nie Jin said in a low voice: "Miss, this is the Wuwang Mansion in Western Qin, not our Dingxi Mansion in Jinling. I know that the young lady has not suffered any grievances, but when you are under the roof, you still have to bow your head. ”
Zhou Qingqing said angrily: "If I really make any mistakes, he wants to punish me, I will naturally admit it." But I went to help him arrest someone tonight, and he didn't appreciate it, and he repaid the virtue with resentment, and I didn't accept it. ”
Nie Jin was helpless, and said in a long voice: "Miss......"
Zhou Qingqing pursed his mouth, sat on the stone bench on the side, and didn't bother to enter the house, so he accompanied him here.
The courtyard was silent for a while, Zhou Qingqing looked at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly felt a little stunned, in a foreign country, although she was named a princess, she was just an ant who only let people eat mermaid after all.
After the scene of the small half pillar of incense, suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps coming this way.
"Third Brother-Third Brother-"
A heroic and hearty female voice came in, and then a tall woman walked into the small courtyard. In the night, the woman's face was not clear, but she was holding a long whip, wearing a silver armor, and long boots.
She saw a kneeling and sitting figure in the courtyard, and said strangely, "Who are you?" ”
Qin Zhen heard the movement, opened the door with a creak, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, I thought that you would have to arrive in Xijing in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" ”
This woman is Qin Luo, the fourth princess of Western Qin. Zhou Qingqing has been in Western Qin for nearly two months, and he has heard the name of the fourth princess, who is a strange woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and it is said that she is more fierce than men when she fights, and has been stationed in the southern border of Western Qin.
Qin Luo said: "I didn't get out of the third brother's wedding and rushed back, this time I went back to the court, so I naturally wanted to return to Xijing as soon as possible, so that I could meet my sister-in-law who had never been masked." ”
Zhou Qingqing stood up from the stone bench and bowed his head to her: "Fourth princess." ”
Qin Luo raised his head, took a few steps forward, looked at her from afar by the moonlight, and saw that she was a typical Jiangnan delicate woman, and sneered lightly: "You are the daughter of the king of Dingxi County?" I thought I was some kind of amazing woman, but that's all I was. ”
After speaking, he flicked the long whip in his hand and swung it straight towards Zhou Qingqing. However, when the whip passed Nie Jin, he reached out and grabbed it.
Qin Luo pulled hard, but he didn't pull it, and the person who grabbed his whip didn't seem to use much force, kneeling on the ground, but he didn't look humble. This inevitably made her angry: "What a bold man, who are you?" ”
Nie Jin was silent, but he didn't let go of the whip.
Zhou Qingqing didn't know what kind of routine this fierce fourth princess was, and she was a little dumbfounded and at a loss. Qin Zhen walked out with a smile and took two steps: "Fourth sister, what kind of gift are you giving to your sister-in-law?" ”
Qin Luo said: "The king of Dingxi County is famous, and he killed tens of thousands of soldiers in my Western Qin, I want to try how much ability his daughter has!" ”
With that, she tugged at the whip again, and Nie Jin finally let go.
Qin Zhen said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is Miss Jiao who embroiders and plays the piano in Jinling City, but she is not a female general who fights like you." ”
Qin Luo believed his words, and looked at Zhou Qingqing standing behind Nie Jin with disdain: "I said that you shouldn't marry a Southern Zhou woman, it's just an embroidered pillow." After saying that, he looked at the man on the ground again, and stretched out his hand, "Who is this man?" ”
Qin Zhen said: "He is the guard brought by your sister-in-law from Southern Zhou. He paused, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Nie Guard, get up." You've done me a great favor tonight, and it does seem a little ungrateful that I punish you. ”
Nie Jin stood up: "Thank you, Lord Xie." ”
Qin Luo snorted, squinted at him and said, "Nie guard? It looks like you're good at kung fu, how about I talk to you another day? ”
Nie Jin arched his hand and said expressionlessly: "Back to the fourth princess, I never compete with a woman in the future." ”
Qin Luo was so angry that he was about to raise the long whip in his hand again, but Qin Zhen waved his hand and pressed it down, he smiled sullenly: "Okay, okay, don't think about competing with others all day long." It just so happened that you came back, recently there have been a lot of Northern Zhao spies in Jingnei, and so is the peony in the palace, I have not recovered from my serious injuries, and the interrogation will be handed over to you and Feng Xiao. ”
Qin Luo raised his head and patted his chest: "Third brother, don't worry, I am the best at interrogating prisoners, who dares to be hard-mouthed, I knock off her knees, pull out her nails, and burn waterboarding several times a day, I don't believe that she won't recruit." ”
Zhou Qingqing looked at the princess of Xiqin, who was half a head taller than herself, and couldn't help but shudder.
