The same scene is seen in other courtyards in Qincheng.

Shui Xiyan silently listened to Xue'er's report, and the slow sound of the piano in the ancient flow in his hand, the sound of the piano came and went, light or heavy, which invisibly brought a burst of depression to Xue'er beside him. The blood on her face faded, her lips turned pale, and her eyes betrayed fear.

After a long time, the sound of the piano finally stopped, and Xue'er's forehead was already covered with a dense layer of fine sweat, and her back was even more soaked.

"Islam." Shui Xiyan's soft voice rang out, and his hand was lowered from the strings, plucking out a burst of overtones that swept through the room.

Cher whispered in response, and slowly exited the room. Shui Xiyan looked at the Broken Soul Qin in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Cheng, the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Jinyan told Qin Mingke all the things she encountered on the road like a storyteller. Qin Mingke never let her go out again, and at the same time, he also sent many subordinates to protect her safety at all times.

Xia Jinyan was not an active person, but now that she has just come back, she is not much interested in going out, but seeing Qin Mingke's nervous appearance, she is always a little puzzled.

On this day, Xia Jinyan, as usual, was half-leaning on the soft collapse under the locust tree in the courtyard, her eyes were lightly closed, and her long eyelashes cast a fan-like shadow in front of her eyes.

Huan Yan and Huan Yu stood on the side of the couch with a long-handled peony embroidered double dough fan, unhurriedly calling the summer breeze and caressing Xia Jinyan's delicate body.

"Half a month has passed, and I don't know if that Qin girl has found her relatives, and she has never written to inform me, so I am always anxious." Xia Jinyan's eyes were still closed, and her lips were closed one by one.

"Madam, don't worry, this Qin girl is not an ordinary person at first glance, she must have seen her relatives now, she was too happy, and she forgot to reply to the letter." Huan Yu can still remember Qin Shu's lake-like eyes, which are not shocking but can move people's hearts.

"Madame gave Miss Qin so much silver, even if one person stays in Qin City for a year, it is enough, Madame doesn't have to worry." Huan Yan's hands did not stop, and his mouth did not stop.

The daylight in this summer is still a little annoying, Xia Jinyan turned sideways, completely covered herself in the shade of the tree, and said softly: "It's just that the people in this Qin City make me feel uneasy, although there is Mingke control, but who knows in the shadows."

Xia Jinyan waited for a long time, but she didn't hear her two little maids reply, Huanyu was okay to say, she wasn't a talkative person, how could she not even speak Huanyan?

When she opened her eyes slowly, she saw a handsome face with beautiful scenery and moon in front of her, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking at her dotingly. And his two little maids had already stepped aside, and the fan in Huan Yan's hand had already reached Qin Mingke's hand.

Seeing Xia Jinyan open her eyes, Qin Mingke threw the fan in his hand and fell into Huan Yan's hand accurately.

Xia Jinyan didn't get up, stretched out her wrist like jade, and handed it to Qin Mingke's eyes. Qin Mingke immediately understood, and his strong and powerful arms gently pulled her up, held her in his arms, and sat on the soft collapse together.

"Why are you here?" Xia Jinyan looked at her husband in front of her, Qin Mingke was the city lord of Qin City, and there were many things that he needed to deal with every day, so he didn't have much time to accompany her. Especially recently, because of the Da Yue incident, a large number of strange people have poured into Qincheng, and he needs to be suppressed in person.

"Da Yue's side will leave the city one day, and other forces have left one after another, so Qin City can be quiet." Qin Mingke lowered his head and played with Xia Jinyan's hair scattered on his back.

Although she is a wife, Xia Jinyan still doesn't like to curl her hair, and when she doesn't go out, she always ties it with a piece of silk.

"Now I'm just your husband." Qin Mingke gently leaned his head on the top of Xia Jinyan's head and said softly.

"But if I leave, if I don't leave, I will be ruined in this huge city lord's mansion." Xia Jinyan leaned on Qin Mingke's arms, fiddling with his cuffs without a match.

Hearing this, Qin Mingke pretended to be curious, leaned over to her eyes, and said with a smile: "Come and let my husband see, where is my lady wasted?"

As he spoke, he began to move in his hand and stroked Xia Jinyan's body. But Xia Jinyan grabbed her troublesome hands and slapped them a few times, "Flim tongue!" ”

Huan Yan, who was standing behind, pursed his lips and snickered, his eyes couldn't stop glancing at the two of them, who would have thought that the Qin City Lord, who was outside with infinite scenery, would be so naïve in front of Xia Jinyan.

Huan Yu stood close, caught a glimpse of Huan Yan's appearance, and glared at her with gentle eyes, but saw that Huan Yan did not react. Quietly moved to her side and tapped her head lightly with the fan in his hand.

Although it was very light, but the suddenness still caught Huan Yan off guard, she immediately looked at Huan Yu who didn't know when she came to her, and complained about Huan Yu with her eyes.

Huan Yu raised the fan in his hand again, signaling Huan Yan to do the right thing. saw Huan Yan smile brightly at her, made a grimace, and immediately regained his calm, fanning the fan expressionlessly.

Huan Yu shook his head helplessly, raised a smile dotingly, and stood back in his original position. She and Huan Yan were bought into the City Lord's Mansion together, and she has always regarded Huan Yan as her own sister, but Huan Yan's temperament, she is always worried that she will get into trouble.

Qin Mingke was not annoyed when he was beaten, he was worried about Xia Jinyan's hand, he held Xia Jinyan's hand with his backhand, "The lady is so angry, why don't we go out of the city for a walk, the lotus pond on the outskirts of the city is also blooming." ”

Hearing this, Xia Jinyan was not too excited, she continued to lean on Qin Mingke's arms, found a comfortable position, and said: "That pool, I have been watching it for several years, and it has long been out of novelty."

"What does the lady propose?" Hearing Xia Jinyan's tone, Qin Mingke knew that she must have had an idea.

Xia Jinyan got up and looked straight at Qin Mingke with a pair of eyes, "The girl I met before, do you have any news of her?" ”

A trace of solemnity flashed in Qin Mingke's eyes, combined with the time and place, he had already guessed the identity of that person, which was why he didn't let Xia Jinyan go out.

Qin Mingke still didn't want to hide it from Xia Jinyan, he stroked Xia Jinyan's soft hair, and replied slowly: "She hasn't come out since she entered West Street."

"West Street?" Xia Jinyan frowned lightly, Xia Jinyan never thought that a girl with a breezy and bright moon temperament would have a connection with West Street.

Huan Yan, who was eavesdropping behind her, was also shocked, and the fan movements in her hands stopped, Miss Qin was actually looking for someone on West Street!?

Huan Yu was slightly startled and returned to normal In the past few years with Xia Jinyan, she has already known one thing, that is, never judge people by their appearance. Those who seem to be simple and kind can actually be bloodthirsty killers.

"When I entered West Street, it seemed that it was impossible to say goodbye." Xia Jinyan slumped down helplessly, continued to collapse in Qin Mingke's arms, and muttered, "I still want to have a chance to meet again."

Qin Mingke said with a smile: "The lady wants to see her so much, then she will be sad for her husband."

"I think she might be the eldest lady of the piano family." Xia Jinyan said seriously.

Qin Mingke was also taken aback, he pretended to be unintentional and said, "How can the lady think like this?"

Xia Jinyan saw that Qin Mingke was pretending to be confused, so she simply dismantled him directly, and said, "It's all because of your nervousness, if she is just an ordinary person, why do you protect me heavily?"

The sunlight fell on Qin Mingke's face, and the smile on Ruyu's face couldn't be hidden. He rubbed Xia in his arms dotingly, and said, "My lady is smart, I do have such doubts."

Xia Jinyan held the big palm in front of her, stroked it gently, and said softly: "I know you want to protect me, but I also want to do something for you." If I can become a close friend with her, it will not be harmful to Qincheng Baili. ”

Qin Mingke moved to drop a kiss on Xia Jinyan's forehead, took her hand, and stroked it carefully from the palm to the fingertips, "I know, but now that her whereabouts are unknown, the lady shouldn't bother more about this matter." ”

"No matter where she goes, my Qin Cheng is not something that can be shaken by any force." Qin Mingke's momentum skyrocketed in an instant, but after an instant, he disappeared silently, "Have you forgotten Qin Lou?" ”

The two little maids standing behind them were so shocked that they dropped the fans in their hands to the ground, and hurriedly picked them up, but they were a little more messy when they fanned the wind.

"Okay, but if you have news of her, you must let me know as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lady!" Qin Mingke replied categorically, causing Xia Jinyan to laugh again.

By the same time, Monlisi had already ridden home. Soon after he had relayed the news to the tribe, he received a letter from the chief, telling him to return immediately without stopping. Although Montlisi did not know the meaning of the chief's actions, it did not prevent him from carrying out his orders.

Along the way, without stopping, Monlisi had come to the junction of the Great Zhou and the northwestern tribes. Because of Da Yue's movements, all the countries are now nervous, and before Meng Lixi reached the checkpoint, he could see a long queue.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles when he came to the Southern Dynasty this time, he only brought four henchmen around him. One of the henchmen rolled over and dismounted, and the other flew and swept forward.

It was not long before he returned, stood beside Montlisi's horse, and told him all he had heard.

Da Zhou's purpose is the same as them, all to catch Qin Shu. It's just that Da Zhou has always been arrogant, so he has strengthened the customs clearance inspection. It also caused many people who were in a hurry to pass the test to complain, however, Da Zhou's iron-blooded methods immediately silenced those who resisted.

Meng Lixi looked at the Great Zhou soldiers who were strictly investigating in front of him, a pair of eagle eyes like sharp swords stabbing forward, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The soldiers who were investigating suddenly felt that the air around them was much colder, and they were happy in their hearts. The sun was scorching, they were wearing heavy armor, and their bodies were already sweating, and this sudden chill relieved them a lot.

However, the chill became more and more serious, and with a sharp gaze, they all looked in the direction of Monlissy.

Then he saw a foreign man, with eyes like eagle's eyes and a face like a knife. Dressed in leather, with a scimitar at his waist and a white falcon on his scabbard, he struggled to fly.

The first warrior of the Nalo tribe, Monlisi! How could he be here!?
