As a man, Qin Xiaoyan never thought that he would use his unhappy past to win Gu Qiancheng's sympathy, but his pride did not allow it.

Knowing that Gu Qiancheng wanted to know more, Qin Xiaoyan had no intention of saying it, pretending not to hear Gu Qiancheng's inquiry, and concentrated on rubbing it for her.

Qin Xiaoyan's attitude was so obvious, what else did Gu Qiancheng not understand? A wise woman should know how to stop in moderation and learn to control her curiosity.

Gu Qiancheng leaned on Qin Xiaoyan's arms, closed her eyes, relaxed her body and enjoyed Qin Xiaoyan's rubbing, and after a while, she fell asleep when she was tired.

Qin Xiaoyan slowly withdrew his hand, looked at Gu Qiancheng's sleeping face, and imperceptibly showed a light smile, and after a light kiss fell on her forehead, Qin Xiaoyan carefully hugged Gu Qiancheng.

"Hmm," Gu Qiancheng muttered uncomfortably, Qin was silent, and carried her back to the inner room with the lightest possible movements, and placed her on the low couch in the study.

Pulling the quilt, Qin Xiaoyan covered it for Gu Qiancheng, and pinched the corners of the quilt, so naturally it seemed to have been done thousands of times.

Qin Xiaoyan didn't leave just yet, but sat down next to the low couch, his eyes fell on Gu Qiancheng's face, but his thoughts had already drifted thousands of miles away......

He didn't mind letting Gu Qiancheng know about his past, the past was a part of him, he had nothing to hide, but not the present.

Although it was the first time he liked someone, he could obviously feel that Gu Qiancheng's feelings for him were not deep enough, and he didn't want Gu Qiancheng to deepen his liking for him because of his past, which was something he couldn't accept.

Qin Xiaoyan just sat on the edge of the low couch, looking at Gu Qiancheng's sleeping face, thinking about the affairs of Northern Qi until it was dark.

The subordinates of the mansion came to ask Qin Xiaoyan if he wanted to pass the meal, but he was sent away by Qin Lianyan with a cold face, and sternly asked the subordinates not to come over to disturb Miss Gu's rest.

The subordinates in Lord Tu's mansion, where have they seen Prince Guiwei, as soon as Qin Lianyan spoke, no one dared to step forward, they all waited from afar, and only dared to come forward when Qin Lianyan summoned him.

Send people away, there are layers of guards outside the study, these guards are the people sent by the old emperor to protect Qin Xiaoyan, and they have the duty of protection and surveillance.

Qin Xiaoyan had long been accustomed to having people around him to monitor him at any time, and he was not uncomfortable. Tapping three times on the desk, a man in black appeared in the corner of the study.

Qin Xiaoyan got up and exchanged clothes with the other party, Qin Xiaoyan retreated back to the corner and took the opportunity to leave, while the man in black sat at the desk instead of Qin Xiaoyan and looked at the case file on the table.

The two are familiar with each other, and it is obviously not the first time.

Although the guards outside the study were elite divisions in the hands of the old emperor, they were not able to guard against Qin Shiyan, and a quarter of an hour later, Qin Shiyan had left Tu Mansion and disappeared into the darkness.

The climate in the border city is even worse than that in the capital, especially at night, the cold wind is biting, and people shiver all over the body, but Qin Shiyan didn't care, and walked all the way out of the city.

On the low slope outside the city, Feng Yuqian, who was supposed to be in the barracks, was already waiting on the top of the slope, and as soon as Qin Xiaoyan arrived, Feng Yuqian found it and strode towards Qin Xiaoyan.

"Your Highness, you're finally here." The voice is hearty, a little more heroic, and the meaning of closeness in the words has not changed.

Since receiving the news that Qin Xiaoyan was coming to Northern Qi, he was waiting for today's meeting.

"Hmm." Seeing Feng Yuqian, Qin Shiyan's tone was obviously much better, he glanced at Feng Yuqian up and down, and said appreciatively: "Very good, I have grown a lot in the army in half a year." ”

The original Feng Yuqian was more like a scholar than Jiao Xiangdi, but now it is different, although Feng Yuqian is not as rough as those men in the army, but the cold and hard momentum around him makes people understand at a glance that this man has rolled on the battlefield.

"The fourth uncle is very strict with me." The most important thing is that Feng Yuqian himself is also very desperate, because his goal is to win the Feng family generals and become the leader of the Feng family.

Only when he takes down the Feng family general, can he become Qin Xiaoyan's help and gather power for him in the army.

The fourth uncle and his father both persuaded him, afraid that he would turn the Feng family into another Chai family, but he believed that even if the Feng family became the second Chai family, Qin Xiaoyan would not destroy the Feng family like the old emperor.

"Don't work too hard." Qin Shiyan nodded lightly.

Feng Yuqian smiled and said indifferently: "Now I am working hard not to lose my life on the battlefield, and the hard work is worth it." Northern Qi and Great Qin will fight sooner or later, and I have to prepare in advance and not die on the battlefield. ”

"Hmm." Qin Xiaoyan knew that Feng Yuqian was not exaggerating, these people in Northern Qi had never been settled, and it was a matter of time before the war started, but now both sides were not ready, so they would delay it again and again.

After the two finished talking about the old days, Qin Shiyan said his intention, "The suspect is in your hands?" ”

The suspect who killed the nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty was taken away by Feng Yuqian and locked up in the barracks, and Lord Tu tried his best to find no one, let alone kill the other party.

"Yes, people are in my hands. When this incident broke out, I felt that it was wrong, and I kept people staring at it, but it turned out that the government's punishment of the suspect was only two times, and the eighteen kinds of punishment were used on the suspect, and after the suspect was drawn in public, there was only one breath left. When Feng Yuqian said this, he looked indignant, "The Tongzhi and Zhizhou in the border city simply don't treat my Daqin people as human beings, and they don't beat cattle so ruthlessly. ”

Thinking of the Northern Qi nobles flaunting their might on the territory of Great Qin, Feng Yuqian wanted to kill people. But their garrison can't interfere in the affairs of the border city, no matter how angry they are, it won't help, and it's too late for him to take the suspect away.

Qin Xiaoyan had already guessed it, and he was not surprised, so he only asked, "How are people now?" ”

"I was raised in the army for a few months, and I barely looked like a person." Feng Yuqian sighed, "The torture was too ruthless at the beginning, and the doctor couldn't live for a few years." ”

"Tomorrow, the king will bring someone to meet him, and you let him prepare." Qin said silently.

"Master Tu, are they going too?" Feng Yuqian asked in advance, undisguised his disgust for Master Tu.

"Go," Qin said affirmatively, but added, "The military camp is your territory, you have the final say." In other words, if Feng Yuqian didn't want people to enter, he wouldn't come forward for Master Tu and the others.

With Qin Xiaoyan's words, Feng Yuqian still had something to worry about, "I know how to do it." I'll do a good job of this. ”

"Well," Qin Shiyan replied lightly, and said, "In addition, send someone to Northern Qi to investigate two people." ”

"Who?" Feng Yuqian's body was straight and his attitude was respectful.

"Yang Ji of Northern Qi and his family, focus on investigating the six sons of the Yang family." Yang Ji is the spy leader of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the sixth son of the Yang family is Wu Liulang, who stirred up the Goddess Tower in Daqin.

"I know, I'll do my best to find out." Feng Yuqian didn't know what the use of Qin Xiaoyan wanted to check the Yang family of Northern Qi, he just had to do things according to Qin Xiaoyan's orders.
