After saying that, Qin Zhi turned around and left.

He did not enter the gate of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

Instead, he took Qin Shuang, Bu Jingtao and others back to the post house.

Entering the gate of the post house, Qin Shuang asked puzzledly, "Brother, why did you come back?" ”

Qin Zhi said, "Brother went to her Zuo Xiang's Mansion, there are many pairs of eyes staring at it, if you really enter that gate, do you guess that with the style of Princess Zhao Guo, what amazing thing she will do after I leave?" ”

Qin Shuang pouted, "What amazing thing can she do." ”

Qin Zhi smiled and said, "We came to Yan Country this time, Emperor Yan is not very happy, and as long as the ministers with a little brain think about it, they will know what we are doing in Yan Kingdom, at this time, the prince of Yan Kingdom personally took command to go on an expedition to Qi State, but our Qin State came to Yan Country at this time, do you think they can not stare at it?" Zuo Xiang is not only Zuo Xiang, she is also the princess of Zhao Guo, maybe not everyone knows her identity, but Emperor Yan must know that now Zhao Guo also chooses to stand on the same front as Yan Guo, then Emperor Yan will definitely protect the safety of this princess, and this princess, I offended you last time, and this time, I will probably set a trap for me. ”

Qin Shuang sneered, "What kind of trap can she set." ”

Qin Zhi said, "I don't know, but there will definitely be." ”

Bu Jingtao, who had not spoken, took over and said, "Judging from the situation of the battle between the ninth princess and the princess of Zhao Guo above, this princess of Zhao Guo has no harmony with Qin, so if the prince enters the Zuo Xiangfu just now, then after coming out, I am afraid that the princess of Zhao will take a walk with some rumors that the prince bullied her, making it difficult for us to move forward in Yan Kingdom." ”

Qin Shuang snorted, "She dares." ”

Qin Zhi glanced at her lightly, "What is she afraid of?" ”

Qin Shuang choked.

Bu Jingtao said, "It's right not to enter the mansion." ”

Qin Zhi went to the bedroom with a big sting.

Qin Shuang stomped his feet, "Brother, just let her go?" ”

Qin Zhi's steps towards the bedroom did not stop, and a voice came from the front, "Of course I won't let her go, but don't worry, to deal with smart people, you have to use stupid methods." ”

Qin Shuang didn't understand.

Bu Jingtao glanced at her and said emptily, "The ninth princess should also go and rest for a while." ”

Qin Shuang was helpless, seeing that Qin Zhi crossed the corner and disappeared, she had to go back to her bedroom and rest for the time being.

Bu Jingtao went to find Qin Zhi.

Qin Zhi sat at the round table and drank tea.

Step over the waves.

Qin Zhi held the teacup and looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes were deep and waveless.

Bu Jingtao didn't know what he was thinking, pulled a chair and sat diagonally opposite him, turned over a porcelain cup, and poured himself tea.

The teacup was filled with water, and before he had time to hold it in his hand, the man who had been silently staring at the scenery outside the window said slowly, "Qi Wen is in the prince's mansion in Yanchi, except for the princess of Zhao Kingdom, no one can see him, then, in order to be able to take Qi Wen out smoothly, the only way to work hard is to work this princess of Zhao Kingdom." ”

Bu Jingtao asked, "The prince has an idea?" ”

Qin Zhi played with the porcelain cup, his thin eyes like ice pools narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked a cold arc, and said with a smile, "In the evening, hand over a letter to this Lord Zuo Xiang, and the letter contains a finger of the golden spy informant." ”

The handsome face of the step was stunned.

Qin Zhi put down the porcelain cup, passed through the screen, and lay down on the big bed behind him to rest.

Step Storm went to carry out the command to cut off his fingers.

Huadiao has always been in a state of coma, and she has never been awake since she was caught by Qin Zhi.

Qin Zhi neither woke her up nor tortured her, just treated her as a "dead corpse".

Originally, after Qin Zhi grabbed the flower carving, he thought about how to use her to achieve his goal.

Qin Zhi knows very well that the informants in a deep-rooted and long-established secret spy agency like the Golden Spy Network are very close to death, especially that the Golden Spy Network comes from the Zhao State, and the people of the Zhao State are very loyal and patriotic, if they want them to betray their masters or their own country, they would rather die than give in.

Yes, Qin Zhi did not intend to extort a confession.

He planned to use this "dead body" to hang it above the noon gate and behead it in the name of assassination.

Since this person is a Golden Spy Network person, he must know each other with Golden Spy Network people from other countries.

As soon as the noon gate was hung, it was impossible for the golden spy network people hidden in Qin to turn a blind eye.

They will definitely find a way to save it.

And as long as people come, Qin Zhi has a way to wipe out those people.

But before the plan could be implemented, changes came.

It's good.

Qin Zhi thought that if he could use this golden spy net person to contain the princess of Zhao Guo, it would be worth it.

After Bu Jingtao cut one of Huadiao's little fingers, Huadiao did not react.

But when the finger was cut, the blood gushed out.

In order to prevent Huadiao from bleeding too much and dying, Bu Jingtao took out a hemostatic scatter and sprinkled it for her.

After sprinkling, the blood stopped flowing.

Bu Jingtao glanced at the unconscious flower carving, but still called Ciro to come over and let her take care of it all night.

Ciro saw the broken finger of the flower carving, and his face turned pale.

Bu Jingtao said, "Just guard her, don't let her die." ”

Ciro nodded.

Bu Jingtao didn't stay much, took the little finger of the flower carving, wrapped it in gauze, put it in an envelope, and sent someone to send it to Zuo Xiang's Mansion at night and handed it over to Zhao Huaiyan.

Zhao Huaiyan's mood did not improve after Qin Zhi left during the day, especially when Qin Zhi came to visit, but he did not enter the door, this practice had to make Zhao Huaiyan think deeply.

Zhao Huaiyan took full precautions, but she didn't expect that she would receive a letter from Qin Zhi at night, and the letter was filled with not a letter, but a bloody finger!

Zhao Huaiyan's frightened hand shook, and the bloody fingers slid down the gauze and fell to the ground.

Eagle Six's face immediately changed.

Feng Yan was taken aback, and dodged to block Zhao Huaiyan's sight.

Summoning Snow, Blue Dance, and Changhong all opened their eyes in unison, looking at the finger on the ground.

Zhao Huaiyan patted her chest, she was really frightened.

Growing so big, she really hasn't seen blood, and Zhao Xian protects her too well.

This way abroad, all the way to travel, came to Yan Kingdom, she has never seen real blood.

She didn't have martial arts and couldn't kill anyone.

The murder was all done by Qu Zhao and the guards.

And after doing the bloody murder, they won't let her see the bloody scene.

She trembled a little at the sight of her bloody fingers, but it was only for a moment before she regained her composure.

She pushed away Feng Yan who was blocking her line of sight and stood up.

Eagle Six frowned, and said in an extremely low tone, "Is this who is playing a prank on the princess?" ”

Feng Yan guarded Zhao Huaiyan tightly, raised his head and glanced out of the door, and said, "There is no killer breath." ”

Changhong said, "I didn't smell the killer either." ”

Eagle Liudao, "Then there is no killer." ”

Zhao Huaiyan looked at the fingers in the tiny pool of blood, the fingers were not big, from the shape, not like a man's, but like a woman, but with just one finger, it was difficult to tell who her owner was, but looking at such fingers, looking at such blood, thinking of Qin Zhi's behavior of passing through the door and not entering today, her heart suddenly gave birth to a great panic.

She thought of a person, Huadiao.

Almost immediately, she raised her voice and shouted, "Changhong, go and arrest the messenger for me!" ”

Changhong said yes in a deep voice, turned around and left.

Eagle Six glanced at the back of Changhong, who was leaving.

He walked over to the puddle of blood, bent down, picked up the gauze, wrapped his fingers, and held it in his hand.

He looked at it, and then handed it to Feng Yan, Zhao Xue, and Lan Wu to see.

After a few people finished reading it, Ying Liudao, "It's a woman's finger." ”

Feng Yan said, "This shape is indeed not a man's. ”

Summoning Xue and Lan Wu also nodded, "It's indeed a woman's." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said with a solemn face, "If I guess correctly, this finger should have been chopped off from Huadiao's hand." ”

"Ahh

Her words provoked the exclamations of Eagle Liu, Feng Yan, Zhao Xue, and Lan Wu.

The four of them glanced at each other, then looked at Zhao Huaiyan's increasingly condensed face, thinking of the flower carving that Zhao Huaiyan said before was caught by Qin Zhi, and then thinking of Qin Zhi's behavior of coming to Zuo Xiang's Mansion today and not entering, the faces of the four people changed drastically.

Ying Liu clenched his saber tightly, and his cold eyes were full of murder, "Princess, you speak, let me cut him!" ”

Feng Yan said, "You calm down. ”

Eagle Liu's eyes were split, "He cut off the finger of a leader under my Golden Spy Network, and dared to bring it to the princess to intimidate the princess, which is the rhythm of looking for death!" ”

Feng Yan said, "Killing is to kill, but not at this moment, let's listen to what the princess thinks." ”

Ying Liu knelt down in front of Zhao Huaiyan, "Princess, let me kill him!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan closed his eyes, and reluctantly suppressed the urge in his heart to kill Qin Zhi, so he opened his eyes and looked at Ying Liu, "The flower carving is in his hand, today he can break one finger of her, tomorrow he can break two fingers, and the day after tomorrow can break three fingers, as long as the flower carving is in his hand for a day, we are passive beaters." He may have meant to intimidate me by sending this finger to me today, but his main purpose was not to intimidate, but to lure me to the door. ”

When Zhao Xue heard this, she immediately said, "The princess can't go." ”

Lan Wu said, "You can go, but before you go, you have to figure out what this Prince Qin is doing when he comes to Yan Kingdom, is it just to use the flower carving to attract the princess?" If that's the case, why would he bother? Waiting directly in the Qin country, the princess will also go thousands of miles to his Qin country for the flower carving, he will never have to give up Qin to Yan, and he has to be restricted by the territory of Yan country, which is really not the best policy. ”

Zhao Huaiyan sneered, "What can he do when he comes here is nothing more than to save Qi Wen." After Yan Chi's army marched all the way north from Zhao State, Emperor Qi probably couldn't sit still, so he wrote a letter to Emperor Qin, asking Emperor Qin to help him rescue the prince, and with the friendship between Emperor Qin and Emperor Qi, Emperor Qin's request Emperor Qin couldn't not agree, the purpose of saving Qi Wen was obvious, but in addition to this goal, Qin Zhi had no other purpose, I don't know for the time being, he wanted me to come to the door, I just went. ”

Eagle Six looked deep and said, "I'll go with the princess." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "No, this is the territory of Yan Kingdom, Changhong is Yan Chi left by my side, I let Changhong go, you can be a coachman, stay outside, and observe secretly." ”

Eagle Six thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”

Feng Yan asked, "What about me?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "You guard the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Summoning Snow and Blue Dance, "We're going to follow the princess too." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "You don't have to go, I went as the left minister, and it's not appropriate for you to follow." ”

Xue Lanwu pursed her lips, but did not refute.

This night, because of this finger, Zhao Huaiyan didn't sleep all night.

The next day, when she went to the court, she was not in good spirits, and Duan Dongli asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Emperor Yan also asked with great concern, "Was it yesterday that Qin Zhi went to visit you and embarrassed you?" ”

The two brothers of Pingzhong Cheng and Heping Shuzheng also know that she is the princess of Zhao Guo, and if they know, it is impossible not to express their care, plus Duan Langhuan and Zhao Huaiyan cherish each other, the more they interact with each other, the better, and Zhuo Ling said, Zhao Huaiyan is the reincarnation of the Sword Emperor Jiuyang, so look at it, Zhao Huaiyan and them are inseparable in the future, and they can't be separated no matter how they talk, so the two of them regard Zhao Huaiyan as a sister in their hearts, just like Zhou Xiaochan, love and care.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at these people who were worried about her, and a trace of warmth filled her heart.

Originally, Yan was only a foreign-related state to her.

Although she has now risen to the position of the left minister, she does not regard this place as her home, let alone her home.

There is a mansion, but there is no reason to put down roots.

She's going to have to leave sooner or later.

She didn't think that she could occupy much weight in their hearts, but now she saw that they really cared for and loved her.

Zhao Huaiyan was very moved, looked at Duan Dongli and said, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night." Then he said to Emperor Yan, "Yesterday Qin Zhi went to Zuo Xiangfu, that is, he met with me, he didn't do anything, and he didn't say anything, but in the evening, I received a letter with bloody fingers. ”

When Emperor Yan heard this, he was shocked.

Duan Dongli's face changed greatly.

Ping Zhong Cheng and Heping Shuzheng said at the same time, "Bloody fingers? ”

Zhao Huaiyan twisted her eyebrows and nodded.

Duan Dongli squinted, "Could it be that the bloody finger was sent by Qin Zhi?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "I suspect that he sent it, and that finger is probably the one of the leaders of the Golden Spy Network of my Zhao State stationed in Yan Kingdom." ”

"Flower carving?" Duan Dongli seemed to be a little familiar with the name.

Ping Shuzheng said, "I seem to remember that the owner of the Golden Vase Pavilion on Osmanthus Street is called Huadiao. ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "It's her." ”

Ping Shuzheng's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Pingzhong said, "It turned out to be this person." ”

Duan Dongli said, "Since Hua Diao is the leader of the Golden Spy Network in Yan Kingdom, how could he be arrested by Qin Zhi?" ”

Emperor Yan also looked at Zhao Huaiyan with curious eyes.

Zhao Huaiyan sighed lowly, and sent Yuanxing to Zhao Guo to check her identity before, and then because of this incident, Lou Soul Order was dispatched, the Golden Spy Network was dispatched, and the two institutions fought outside Zhao State, and finally Hua Diao may think that Zhao Guo's Golden Spy Network was dispatched, Ying Liu personally went out, Lou Wei and Lou Soul Ling were difficult to escape, so they returned to China first but were caught by Qin Zhi halfway.

After she finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the imperial study.

Emperor Yan said, "In other words, Qin Zhi went to your Zhao Kingdom when he was a long time ago?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Yes, it is written in my father's letter that he visited my father and inquired about my news under the pretext of going to the mountains and rivers. ”

Emperor Yan snorted coldly.

Duan Dongli said, "If the flower carving is really in Qin Zhi's hands, then he cut his finger to give you a look, which is a bit not good." ”

Emperor Yan called Xun An, "Go and call Lou Wei." ”

Xun An sighed and went down to call someone.

In this time slot of Lou Weilai, Emperor Yan said to Zhao Huaiyan, "Qin Zhi's purpose in coming to Yan, with the wisdom of the princess, should be guessed, I am not worried about whether he can rescue Qi Wen, I am worried that he will be unfavorable to you, or rather, he will separate the relationship between my Yan Kingdom and your Zhao Kingdom." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Now the relationship between my Zhao State and your Yan Kingdom is inseparable from Qin Zhi alone." ”

Emperor Yan said, "With your words, I can rest assured." ”

After Lou Wei came, Emperor Yan asked Lou Wei to guard Zhao Huaiyan inch by inch during this time, so that he didn't have to stay in the palace for the time being, and went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to deal with Qin Zhi.

Zhao Huaiyan thought that Lou Wei was the young master of Lou Soul Order, Changhong was just a killer, Ying Liu regarded her as a murderer of her father, and she was not jealous, if Lou Wei went, would she still have peace in her Zuo Xiangfu?

Zhao Huaiyan politely refused, "No need, I'll deal with it." ”

Emperor Yan said, "I know that there are a few people around you who can protect you and protect you, but those people are famous in your Zhao country and can respond to every call, but in Yan country, they are not able to mobilize a single soldier." Lou Wei is the young master of Lou Soul Order, and he is also the head of the night washing bureau in the palace, in the entire Yan Kingdom, there is no one who does not know him, where he goes, where is the token, he can call out the Lou Soul Order killer at any time to solve unexpected troubles, you don't refuse me, you must know that you are now in my Yan Kingdom, that is the most precious person, and there can be no mistakes at all. ”

In my heart, I said that it is more expensive than me, the emperor.

I have three long and two short, that stinky boy may be able to accept it, but you have three long and two short, that stinky boy can't kill me when he comes back?

and Zhao Xian's old man, he also has to raise troops to find me to fight.

After Emperor Yan's words were finished, Lou Wei asked, "Is the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in trouble?" ”

Emperor Yan asked Zhao Huaiyan to say.

Zhao Huaiyan told the bloody finger.

Lou Wei sneered, "Oh, Qin Zhi wants to use the flower carving to rescue Qi Wen, right?" ”

Duan Dongli said, "There must be this purpose, but perhaps, there are other goals." ”

A few people began to speculate about other purposes that Qin Zhi might hide, linking to the current situation and the ties between countries, Emperor Yan was the first to say, "There should be several destinations, saving Qi Wen must be the first destination, and furthermore, there is also the relationship between my Yan Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom." ”

"Qin Zhi's trip to Yan Country is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, saving Qi Wen is simple, but it is difficult to do, maybe he will encounter any danger, and there is no time to return to China, but he brought Qin Shuang with him on such a trip, then it must be because Qin Shuang was defeated by the prince's mansion before, and he was defeated by the princess, Qin Zhi wants to use Qin Shuang to deal with you."

"And this Qin Shuang, who is good at whipping, was originally not an uncommon thing, but in the early years, Qin Yi was accepted as an apprentice by Chang Sansheng and learned the ghost step, generally speaking, the master inherits the mastery, and if you want to pass it on to others, you have to have the consent of the master, but there is an unwritten rule on the Primordial Ice Continent, that is, people who will die or have died, martial arts inheritance, do not have to follow the rules of the master, therefore, when Qin Yi died, he must have passed on the ghost step to Qin Zhi who followed him, and Qin Zhi was in charge of the royal twelve Jingwei, with his person, Definitely infiltrated the ghost step into the royal technique, this Qin Shuang, the reason why she dared to provoke many people on the world's list, don't think about it, she also learned the ghost step, and the ghost step combined with the whip method, with the princess's current cultivation, I am afraid it will be difficult to beat. ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "The emperor said that Qin Shuang came back to Yan Kingdom specifically to deal with me?" ”

Emperor Yan said, "100% can't be wrong. ”

Duan Dongli said, "If this is the case, then Qin Zhi's mind is too treacherous, if the princess really has an accident in my Yan country, then Zhao Guo will definitely not give up, when the time comes, the emperor of Zhao State will not ask the reason, he loves his daughter very much, no matter what the reason is, anyway, his daughter has an accident in Yan country, that is, Yan Guo failed to protect her, and the emperor of Zhao State will be angry with Yan, so he will send troops to attack the rear of the defenseless prince, so that the consequences will be really unimaginable." ”

Ping Zhongcheng sneered, "What a good move." ”

Ping Shuzheng said, "The Qin State is worthy of being a big country that goes hand in hand with Yan, and Qin Zhi is also worthy of being the crown prince of the Qin State, and this person's martial arts strategy is not ordinary, so he has to deal with it carefully." ”

Emperor Yan looked at Zhao Huaiyan, "Do you need me to make a move?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "If the emperor is convenient to make a move, he will not send Lou Wei to me, as the ruler of Yan State, you have to worry about the diplomatic relations between Yan State and Qin State, you don't have to meddle in this matter, I will deal with it." ”

Emperor Yan said, "Well, with your cleverness, you shouldn't disappoint me, if there is any need, just say that the entire Yan Kingdom, including me, will work for you." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was startled and looked up at Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan looked at her kindly and said with a smile, "This is my promise to you, and it is also my promise to you, as long as you are in the Yan Kingdom, this promise will not waver." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was extremely grateful and thanked him.

Emperor Yan waved his hand.

Zhao Huaiyan, Duan Dongli, Lou Wei, Ping Zhongcheng, Ping Shuzheng and others all withdrew.

Waiting for the door of the imperial study to close, Pingzhong Cheng and Heping Shuzheng took their leave first.

Lou Wei wanted to go with Zhao Huaiyan, and Duan Dongli and Zhao Huaiyan were neighbors, so the three of them went forward together.

On the way out of the palace, Lou Wei said, "Does the princess have an idea?" ”

Duan Dongli looked sideways at Zhao Huaiyan.

Zhao Huaiyan said, "He wanted to invite you into the urn, so I obeyed him." ”

Duan Dongli said, "Be careful. ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Don't worry, no matter how presumptuous Qin Zhi is, he won't dare to do anything to me on the territory of Yan Kingdom, I will go to meet him in the evening." ”

Duan Dongli felt that what Zhao Huaiyan said was right, no matter how presumptuous Qin Zhi was, he would not dare to move Zhao Huaiyan on the territory of Yan Kingdom, and besides, there was Lou Wei and the entire Lou Soul Order on standby at any time, not afraid of Qin Zhi being a demon.

When Zhao Huaiyan went out at night, Duan Dongli stood at the door admiring the moon, saw her come out, and asked her if she wanted him to accompany her.

Zhao Huaiyan said no, Duan Dongli was not reluctant, and asked the housekeeper to set up the chessboard and tea set, sit in the courtyard and play chess, while waiting for Zhao Huaiyan to come back.

Zhao Huaiyan came back soon, the gate of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was not closed, when the carriage walked by in front of the door, Duan Dongli sighed, he dropped the chess pieces, walked out of the door with his pants, and saw Zhao Huaiyan getting off the car, Duan Dongli asked her, "Why is it so fast?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan's face was very bad, "Didn't let me in." ”

Duan Dong Li was stunned, "Huh? Where did you go to meet Qin Zhi? ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Post House." ”

Duan Dongli said, "The place is right, so why didn't he see you?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan gritted his teeth angrily, "The ghost knows." ”

She snorted through the door and sat there thinking.

Duan Dongli followed.

Zhao Huaiyan thought about it for a long time, recalling the situation when he just went to the post house, the etiquette before and after was in place, and his words were not out of line, so there was no reason to be turned away!

Could it be that Qin Zhi did it on purpose?

Deliberately embarrassing her?

But it's not right to think about it.

Who is Qin Zhi?

Prince of Qin.

It can be said that except for Yan Xingzhou, Emperor Qin, and Yan Chi, he doesn't have the spare time to deal with others, and he doesn't even bother to do perfunctory.

But at that time, the people who came out to greet her were shocking.

Bu Jingtao is the Taifu of Qin State, and he is also the second shadow who is often inseparable from Qin Zhi's side, sending Bu Jingtao out to greet her, it is not to deal with it at all, so Qin Zhi sincerely wants to accept her visit, but why did Bu Jingtao not say a word after receiving her post, and before she got off the carriage, he politely drove them away?

Having trouble with the post?

Zhao Huaiyan asked Ying Liu to take out the worship post, took a look, found no problem, and asked Duan Dongli to look at it, Duan Dongli read it, and also felt that the worship post was written very appropriately.

So, what's the problem?

Zhao Huaiyan stared at the word "left phase" on the post, looked at it, and saw that his eyebrows were coming.

Left phase.

This is probably not Qin Zhiyao's identity.

What he wants is her princess status, right?

He wanted her to meet him as the princess of Zhao State, not the left minister of Yan State.

Oh, what a prince of Qin!
