When Gentiana Qin woke up again, he found himself in a dark abandoned house.
Confusion flashed across his eyes, and Qin Gentian tried to sit up, but found that he was tied up with a rope, his hands were folded behind his back, and he could feel the pain of the rope being pulled into his flesh when he moved a little.
Qin Gentiana was taken aback for a moment, and finally came to his senses completely, realizing what had happened, and immediately his expression changed drastically.
"Qin—Shanglu!"
A hoarse low cry came out of the throat that had not uttered for a long time, echoing in the narrow space.
Such a sound was not enough to wake up the unconscious person on the other side.
Qin Gentian looked at Shanglu who was tied into a ball with his eyes closed not far away, and felt anxious, but the situation was unclear at the moment, and he didn't dare to scream loudly to attract the enemy.
So Gentiana Qin could only scan the surrounding environment vigilantly while recalling the process of what happened.
If time is to be counted, at least three days have passed since Gentiana Qin left the Qin family.
Qin Geng remembered that after he left Qin's house, he went straight to the place where his mother was detained, lest Miss Qin wake up and become angry and attack her.
Fortunately, the guards didn't notice anything unusual, or maybe it was Qin Gentian's luck. With the help of his friends, he rescued his mother, disguised himself, and sent her out of the city overnight.
Ten miles to the west of the capital of Qiongzhi is not the territory of Qiongzhi. Qin Geng had already calculated that the terrain in the west is rugged, not to mention that his use is not much left, and the Qin family probably will not spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find his mother. .
So although the incident happened suddenly, Gentiana Qin did not panic for long.
A friend stabbed her in the ribs and promised to take care of Gentiana Qin's mother until she woke up. Gentiana Qin had been with friends for many years, so naturally she would not doubt his nature, so she immediately let go of her heart.
After spending a day and night settling down with his mother, Gentiana finally returned to Qiongzhi.
Before leaving, his friend pulled him into shock: "You don't want to die! You escaped with great difficulty, why don't you just live in seclusion with your aunt in peace!"
Qin Gentiana paused for a moment for the word "aunt" in his friend's words, but he still pushed his friend's hand away slowly and firmly.
"I've promised to go back, and I can't break my word."
"You, you." The friend wanted to scold him, but in the end he swallowed it all back, so he could only sigh helplessly, "Why haven't you been so mean-spirited before, that's all, I'll take care of my aunt for you , but you must come back, otherwise, otherwise I..."
My friend "otherwise" for a long time, but nothing came out, so he could only pat Qin Gentiana on the head with the medical book in his hand.
"Otherwise, I'll break up with you!" The friend murmured again, "I owe you what I owed you in my previous life."
"Thank you." Qin Gentiana just smiled, then turned around and walked back to Qiongzhi Capital City in the twilight.
——Back to the source of that nightmare, of course, just to fulfill my promise of "receiving punishment".
In fact, Gentiana Qin could just run away and take his mother to an unknown place to start a new life. Her Majesty the Empress herself ran away from home, so she may not really have the leisure to pursue his affairs.
Qin Geng also knew that Her Majesty the Empress might not really have taken him seriously, and she might forget his existence when she turned around.
For a person who is not even surprised by his male identity, if he really intends to punish him, he may not even be able to get Qiongzhi back.
But Gentiana Qin also remembered that Shanglu was still there.
Regardless of the relationship between Shang Lu and Her Majesty the Empress, and the bottom line of Her Majesty's tolerance, Gentiana Qin cannot allow Shang Lu to bear the risks that may be caused by herself.
Because of promises and worries, Gentiana Qin came back.
As a result, Gentiana Qin had just sneaked into the capital, and before he could find Shanglu in the future, he was beaten with a sap.
At that time, he was tense and running back and forth. He was already extremely exhausted. Although he was vigilant, he was caught off guard.
When he woke up again, he was already in the current situation.
He never expected that the person who was still worrying about how to find it would appear under his nose so easily.
It's just that this place is really not a good place for a reunion.
Qin Gentiana couldn't help but smiled wryly. While recalling the cause and effect, he already had some guesses about the identity of the person who arrested them.
In the territory of Qiongzhi country, anyone who can have grievances with him and Shanglu at the same time, except the Qin family, don't think twice.
As for whether it's the intention of the head of the Qin family, or Miss Qin's public revenge, that's not very important.
The important thing, of course, is how to escape alive.
Although he doesn't like the behavior of the Qin family, Qin Gentiana has to admit that the Qin family is extremely decisive in their actions, even Qin Danzhu, a young lady who doesn't know what kindness is, is quite thoughtful.
All in all, no matter which party falls into the hands, it is not easy to escape.
But since they were not killed immediately, it means that they are still useful to the Qin family or Miss Qin.
It's just that I and my mother depend on each other for life, and Shang Lu is not from his own country. What does the Qin family want from them?
Qin Gentian had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He should have been searched before he was tied up, and all the sharp weapons hidden next to his body had been searched, so he could only slowly ask Shang Lu for help. Move over, at least wake up the person first.
Fortunately, although Shanglu was still awake, there were not many injuries on his body, and he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the sudden sap.
Since there was no resistance, naturally there is no need to suffer more.
Qin Gentian listened attentively to the movement outside for a while, and it seemed that no one was there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered Shanglu's name.
"Shanglu, Shanglu, wake up."
Amid Qin Gentiana's persistent calls, Shanglu's eyelids finally moved twice.
She struggled to open her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up, looking at the dim scene with a dazed expression, and it took a while to get used to the dim light.
Shang Lu's eyes moved to Gentiana Qin's face: "Gentina Qin? You... are you back?"
"..." Qin Gentiana's original instructions were stuck in his throat, and he didn't make a sound for a while. Seeing Shanglu's surprised expression, he didn't know what expression to use to face him, "... ..Um."
Thinking of the embarrassment between the two, Qin Gentian subconsciously turned his gaze away and said, "I promised. I will come back naturally."
Shanglu stayed for a while, her brain was a little slow when she just woke up, and it took her a while to sort out some of the incidents.
"What are you doing back?" Shang Lu also had an expression similar to that of Qin Gentian's friend - hating iron and steel, "Is your mother okay? You came back alone? Then what about your mother?"
"I, I..." Qin Gentiana was a little caught off guard by Shanglu's reaction. He took a while to catch up with Shanglu's train of thought, "I've settled her down. My friend will help me take care of my mother."
"That's good..." Shanglu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said in surprise, as if he had just discovered the rope on Gentiana Qin's body, "Where are we?"
Qin Gentiana paused, and swallowed back the words of worry that he was about to say, and replied, "I don't know, I'm here when I wake up—how did you get arrested?"
"I don't know either. I just drank a cup of tea in the teahouse over at Ximen, and then I fainted. It's now when I woke up." Shanglu explained, "What about you?"
"...teahouse?" Qin Gentiana's eyes flickered subtly, but he didn't say anything, but simply explained his situation, "I was knocked out when I was returning to the city. "
"Um--"
Shang Lu's gaze moved up and down on Gentiana Qin's body. The latter shrank subconsciously from the gaze, but frowned because he accidentally pressed the wound.
Qin Gentiana has long since changed back to men's clothes that are more convenient to move around. After he no longer deliberately poses as a woman, he naturally stretched out a bit of heroism between his brows, but after all, he is young and born well. He has not yet grown up, and he still has red lips and white teeth Exquisite appearance.
If he covered his chin down, probably most people would think that he was a woman——
Still the soft one.
"I said, do you lack exercise too much?" Shang Lu said, "Sure enough, you should exercise. If you want to practice martial arts, I can also teach you."
Gentiana Qin immediately understood that Shang Lu disliked him for being too weak to be knocked faint.
But in the current situation, the other party didn't seem to be much better. Qin Geng suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't help admiring the other party's optimism.
"Okay." Qin Gentian nodded in response, thought for a while and then asked, "Where is the... person with you?"
The word "Your Majesty" was hidden between the lips and teeth, but Shanglu still reacted immediately.
"You said Your Majesty—" Shang Lu rolled his eyes upwards, not as if he was rolling his eyes, but he seemed a little guilty, "This...should...should still be in the city Bar."
Shanglu didn't seem to know how to hide it at all, coughed lightly twice and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely come to save us!"
Seeing Shang Lu's categorical words, Qin Gentian became puzzled: "Why?"
"Because she is—" Shang Lu stopped the car in time, and changed his words temporarily, "She is a good person!"
something wrong.
Even if Shang Lu has always been big-hearted, he shouldn't even care about the current situation.
Even Gentiana Qin reacted immediately, his face changed slightly.
"you--"
Before the words fell, the old wooden door creaked suddenly, and the following footsteps interrupted the communication between the two.
The footsteps were extremely heavy, as if deliberately notifying the people in the room, the two raised their heads at the same time, one's face gradually darkened, and the other tried to hold the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether he wanted to go up or down, and finally made a nondescript smile .
Miss Qin appeared at the door, and light poured into the room from her side, casting a patch of light and shadow on the ground.
"Ah, what a coincidence that you are here too?!"
Miss Qin covered her mouth and looked at the two with an exaggerated shocked expression.
"We are really destined."
"Just tell me what you want." Qin Gentian said coldly.
Shang Lu was still busy rolling her eyes, looking at the dusty beams and the surrounding walls, but she didn't want to see Miss Qin who was full of drama, and finally her eyes fell on the crack of the wall on the right.
There is a pile of discarded sundries, almost half the height of a person, but they are all dilapidated, probably useless.
Seeing that no one cooperated with her performance, Ms. Qin was not embarrassed, she clapped her palms twice to attract their attention, and giggled twice at the same time, showing the innocent attitude of a naive girl.
"Oh, brother, don't be so cold, I am very grateful to you."
Miss Qin's tone was turbulent, and she walked slowly in front of Gentiana Qin, then grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met such a cute sister~"
Miss Qin's eyes moved to Shang Lu.
"I—" Shang Lu closed his mouth in time, narrowly swallowed back the swear words he was about to utter, and continued to put on an angry expression after swallowing, "Do you know how to respect the old and love the young! It's too bad to bully your brother like this face!"
"Oh, what did Sister Shang say? I just brought him back because I like him."
Miss Qin held Gentiana Qin by the collar, dropped it casually, walked up to Shang Lu, and raised her chin.
"Brother is still very lucky, a little beauty like Sister Shang - what a pity."
Shanglu stepped back with disgust, but touched the wall behind him.
"Since you're jealous, let me play with you." Ms. Qin slowly approached Shanglu's face, and said with a smile, "It's cute even if you look closely. I can consider saving your life, as long as you—"
Shanglu flinched back suddenly, but bumped his head against the wall. He felt stares in his eyes, and even the ambiguous words of the person in front of him seemed to be far away.
"Bring that Her Majesty the Empress out." Miss Qin bit down a certain word in her words.
Gentiana Qin heard clearly from the side, his face changed immediately, and he quickly reminded Shanglu: "Don't promise her!"
"Snapped--"
Miss Qin's complexion also changed, as if she was irritated by Gentiana Qin's unnecessary actions, she slapped her backhand, a red mark immediately appeared on the latter's white and tender face, and even the corner of her mouth overflowed with blood.
"Who allows you to speak casually!"
Miss Qin said angrily, and as if she had come to her senses, she frowned and picked out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then burst into a joyful smile.
"It doesn't matter, as long as she is in the capital for one day, I will definitely not let her slip away from my hands."
"As for you, don't take yourself too seriously, it's just a thing." When Miss Qin turned to the two of them, her face became disgusted again, "I have the final say on life and death, and if you are smart, you should do it. Make a point."
Seeing Miss Qin's face-changing performance, Shang Lu was speechless, thinking that Miss Qin was probably out of her mind.
But Gentiana Qin on the other side was panicked, he had almost guessed Miss Qin's plan, but he would rather be too whimsical.
Qin Danzhu seems to want to use the two of them to lure Her Majesty the Empress, and then - to kill her.
Miss Qin's intentions have been clearly revealed, but it is precisely because it is too obvious that Qin Geng feels that it is absurd from the bottom of her heart——
Regardless of the personal grievances between Miss Qin and the Lord of Hundred Ministries, just the assassination of the Lord of a Country makes people feel absurd.
Baibu is not like a small country in the backcountry of Qiongzhi, not to mention the power of the whole country, even the strength of a single city is enough to level this small country.
Although Miss Qin is the most favored child of the Qin family, it is not impossible for her to understand the capital of her pride.
If the head of a hundred tribes died in Qiongzhi, let alone a mere Qin family, the entire country of Qiongzhi might disappear in the world.
Is Qin Danzhu crazy? !
Qin Geng was terrified, but became more and more determined that Miss Qin's intentions would not be allowed to succeed, otherwise it would be a trivial matter for him to die here. As an "acccomplice" covering Her Majesty's departure from the palace, even his mother and friends would be implicated.
"Shang Lu——" Qin Gentiana spoke again, the pain in his throat couldn't stop him from raising his voice, "If His Majesty dies, the world will be in chaos again. You have to think about it. If I die, I will die, but she can't do anything. otherwise......"
Gentiana Qin had a sore throat and a sore head, and his thoughts were unclear but he still tried his best to persuade Shanglu.
"Snapped--"
The impatient Ms. Qin slapped her again: "Did you call your Majesty? But when you become a woman, you forget your ancestors!"
"Hey, you!" Shang Lu was taken aback, with uncontrollable anger on his face, "You wait for me!"
"I'm waiting." Miss Qin looked down at Shang Lu and smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."
.....
"right here?"
Bai Ying squatted on a tree, looking at the desolate courtyard below, every door was guarded, and there were people patrolling the courtyard.
The structure of the house was instantly imprinted in Baiying's mind, and she glanced at the side where the management was loose. She looked at the place with the most guards and the most straight.
Obviously, it seems to be clamoring "Come in, come in".
Bai Ying didn't go in right away, she was waiting.
"Yes." The subordinate standing on another tree branch responded briefly, "The manpower has been transferred."
"Watch it." Bai Ying glanced at several hidden spots in the house, and after confirming that they were correct, she nodded, "Don't let them go."
"Yes."
At the same time as the subordinate's voice fell, Bai Ying had already jumped off the tree, and even touched the sword behind the subordinate's back.
Subordinate: "Master..." I only have this sword...
Forget it, as long as the Lord is happy.
The subordinate wiped his bland face that could not be found in the humiliating pile, then jumped down, and landed silently behind the guard at the door, knocking the guard unconscious with each hand.
The subordinate touched the heavily decorated sword on the guard's body, curled his lips, and weighed it with disgust on his face: "It's barely used."
On the other side, Bai Ying had already walked around to the back of the house. According to the distribution seen earlier, this should be the place where Shang Lu was detained.
In fact, Bai Yingda can go in directly through the main entrance, and the intention of the owner here is obviously to wait for her to come over, but Bai Ying has been with Jing Mo for a long time, and occasionally he has some bad tastes.
Especially when these evil intentions are used on the enemy, Bai Ying has no psychological burden at all.
If you told me to walk through the gate, then I would lose face.
Baiying thought about it expressionlessly, then gestured to the wall in front of her with her eyes, and said softly, "Tear it down for me."
The subordinate who was hiding in the dark slipped his foot and almost fell off the roof. One person represented everyone and looked at Baiying with disbelief: "Master?"
"Remove." Baiying didn't even lift her eyelids, "There are people behind."
—— There are people behind the wall, so be careful when removing it.
In the final analysis, the wall still needs to be demolished.
So with a bang and the distressed faces of the subordinates, a big hole was broken in the wall, enough to accommodate two or three people in and out.
In the flying dust, Bai Ying held a sword in one hand, stood outside the wall with an indifferent expression, and looked at the person on the other side of the dust.
Ms. Qin didn't expect such an unexpected appearance, she was stunned for a while, and for a moment she forgot whether to go forward or retreat.
"Boss!" Shang Lu opened his mouth wide, and closed his mouth in surprise after eating a mouthful of dust. Almost tears filled his eyes, and he began to speak nonsense, "I knew you still love me, Boss! You still came here Get me."
"No." Bai Ying immediately denied.
In the next second, two figures rushed out, and before Miss Qin could react, they fished out Gentiana Qin and Shang Lu one by one, and threw them at Baiying's feet.
Bai Ying raised the sword and dropped it, the ropes on the two of them snapped.
Qin Gentiana was still in great shock and bewilderment, plus he suffered a lot at the hands of Miss Qin just now, and his mind is not clear yet, so he can only stare blankly at the scene in front of him with his mouth slightly open.
Shang Lu is indeed better than Gentiana Qin in terms of mentality and physical fitness, not to mention that she had expected the current situation, as soon as the rope was untied, she immediately rushed to Bai Ying's side, and she often cried to death with someone in her arms. The posture of the tragic mood of escaping.
Bai Ying flipped the blade over and used the hilt to hold Shanglu, preventing her from actually hugging her.
"Avoid suspicion." Bai Ying said to Shang Lu seriously.
"What?" Shanglu looked blank.
"I don't love you." Bai Ying continued to explain solemnly, "I have my own heart. I have to keep myself clean."
This time Shanglu understood: "..." It turned out that he was just disgusting himself.
What is going on with this complex emotion of sadness and subtle gratitude...
Shanglu's expression was also somewhat complicated.
The people outside the house were chatting and laughing happily, but the people inside the house were not in their good spirits, and their faces were always gloomy.
"You are Her Majesty the Empress of Baibu?" Miss Qin stared at Bai Ying with a strange glow of excitement on her face.
"Be careful!" Gentiana Qin reminded.
Bai Ying flipped the long sword over in her hand, and knocked down several sleeve arrows. The tips of the arrows were covered with a layer of greasy luster, probably poisoned.
"Huh?" Bai Ying looked at Miss Qin right now, "Who are you?"
It was as if she had just seen her so big being present.
Miss Qin's face turned dark again with such contemptuous attitude, but she quickly suppressed the hostility on her face and replaced it with an overly sweet smirk.
"My name is Qin Danzhu, and I am the one who will kill you." Miss Qin said in a tired voice, as if she was acting like a spoiled child to someone, "Daughter, Emperor, Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Only you?" Bai Ying cast a surprised look.
"Yes, it's up to me." Miss Qin bit her lower lip, squinted at Shang Lu and Qin Jia from top to bottom, and sneered, "Even if she takes you out of this room, so what? My men and horses, do you think you can run away after entering the city?"
"Exaggerated." Bai Ying pointed out calmly, "Up to three miles."
There were a few jagged sneers from the empty corner, as if it was a special occasion to praise Baiying. Shanglu was still at a loss, but Qin Gentian took the first step to figure out Baiying's way of speaking, and couldn't help laughing immediately. laugh.
"You—" Miss Qin also understood, her face turned green and white, and she said angrily, "You guys are just playing tricks on your lips, but you are just struggling to die - kill them for me! No one is allowed to stay! "
The guard who was guarding the door rushed out immediately upon hearing the sound, while Miss Qin drew out the long sword on the guard and rushed straight towards Bai Ying.
Bai Ying kicked Shanglu away, while lightly blocking Miss Qin's hidden weapon.Shang Lu clearly dragged Qin Gentiana and ran away, temporarily out of the battle.
"Boss—cough, Your Majesty, be careful!" Shang Lu did not forget to encourage Bai Ying while running, "By the way, teach my little sister to be a good person."
Ms. Qin probably learned martial arts since elementary school, and it seems that she has really put in effort, and every move has a style.
But she is in Qiongzhi, and she is also a boudoir girl, let alone Baiying who has actually been on the battlefield, even Shanglu, who is regarded as a three-legged cat by the latter, is better than Miss Qin.
It's just that Shanglu has been kidnapped for a long time, and his body is a bit weak. Besides, it is like a cat playing with a mouse to Baiying right now. It doesn't take much effort at all, and Shanglu is happy to drag Qin Gentiana to watch the fun and protect him by the way. up.
Gentiana Qin had some faint guesses before, but now he saw Shang Lu's sloppy and natural posture, so he dared to confirm it.
"Is this what you guys did?"
"Ah? Pretty much, it's actually what your majesty meant." Shanglu scratched his cheek, "I can't think of such a complicated problem, but your majesty said that Miss Qin had a problem, and we squatted with her for a few nights , This is confirmed, and then His Majesty said that as long as I cooperate naturally."
Qin Gentian had mixed feelings. He was surprised by Baiying's sensitivity, but also felt that he was worthy of being the empress with achievements. After looking at Phytophthora with no bait and self-consciousness on his face, he felt that this person was really strange.
Don't you even worry that you will get hurt or even die?
Miss Qin is a real dangerous person, not to mention how many people died in her hands, there are always some.
Shang Lu lost the ability to move, but she was not afraid at all, as if she was really sure that Bai Ying would come to rescue her in time.
Gentiana Qin thinks that he can't trust him like this - he can't do it to anyone.
What if?What if the timing is a little off, what if something unexpected happens?
Qin Gentiana was puzzled, but Bai Ying, who was calmly blocking Miss Qin's attack on the other side, seemed to understand his worry, and said, "Someone is following her."
It took Qin Gentiana some time to realize that Bai Ying's words were meant for him.
Is anyone following Shanglu?Someone is secretly protecting her?That's why Bai Yingcai wasn't worried at all, and even appeared so calm and relaxed.
Qin Gentian didn't think there were many surprises when he realized it, but Shang Lu seemed more surprised than him: "Your Majesty, did you send someone to protect me?"
"I have to be responsible for you." Bai Ying said, and she hurriedly added, "Your life is safe."
Shanglu was dumbfounded, and a warm feeling subconsciously appeared in his heart, which was probably called moving emotion.
Sure enough, I misunderstood her. Her Majesty is really a kind person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.Shanglu was moved to tears.
The communication as if there was no one around here angered Ms. Qin, she changed her offensive temporarily, made a feint, and then used her hidden weapon again.
"Are you a dummy?"
Baiying suddenly turned her head back, pulled the sword flower, Miss Qin's eyes blurred, she felt a pain in her hand, and immediately turned red.
Almost half of her wrist was cut off, so Miss Qin naturally couldn't grasp the hidden weapon anymore, but she was unwilling to give in, and immediately changed her other hand to touch something in her bosom.
Baiying's eyes were sharp, and she slashed down with another sword neatly, and Miss Qin's other hand was also crippled.
"Do you think you can leave safely if you kill me? Don't dream, I will hold you back even if I die! Come on! Come on!"
Even the pain of severed hand could hold back the pain, even Baiying couldn't help being a little bit amazed.But that's all.
The moment the sword tip was about to fall on her face, Miss Qin finally couldn't help closing her eyes and let out a scream.
"So stupid. It's embarrassing to come out." Feeling bored, Bai Ying put away the sword and turned around, "Take it back."
If you don't have all your brains, don't learn from others to do things.
The two have been fighting for such a long time, if there is someone behind the scenes, it is impossible for them not to react at all. Obviously, the person she is looking for is not there.
The purpose of probing was achieved, and Bai Ying didn't waste any more time. After giving an order, the subordinates hiding in the dark came out quietly and quickly dealt with the rest of the guards. A gaudy sword arrived at Miss Qin's side.
Miss Qin was shocked by this sudden change, with a look of disbelief on her face: "How is it possible?! I have already found someone to trip up those guards!! How could I not have noticed so many people at all?!"
"Miss, don't you know that besides guards, there are also hidden guards?" A lively subordinate picked out his ears and looked at Miss Qin sympathetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about Miss Qin." You are from Qiongzhi Kingdom, it’s a small country, it’s normal for you to be ignorant—oh, who beat me...cough, boss.”
This unusually lively subordinate immediately shrank his neck when he turned his head and saw his immediate superior.
"Don't talk nonsense, take people back."
Bai Ying is at Shanglu's side, but she is asking Gentiana Qin. Compared with Shanglu who came to Qiongzhi for the first time, it is obvious that Gentiana Qin has a deeper understanding of Miss Qin, but it is still limited.
"...I was only found half a year ago, and I rarely see her." Qin Geng searched for the information in his memory, "But Miss Qin is often not in the mansion, and some people gossip about seeing her go out with men. She was fooling around, but the whole Qin family thought she was a lucky star, all these news were suppressed, and a few gossips were killed, so no one dared to say anything..."
"Man..." Bai Ying frowned slightly, "What kind?"
"I don't know about this." Qin Gentian didn't know what to recall, his face turned slightly pale, "The people who talked about it... are basically gone."
It is self-evident what kind of "absent" law.
"Lord Qiongzhi." Bai Ying brought up another topic, "How is it with the Qin family?"
"The Qin family is Qiongzhi's aristocratic family..." Qin Geng was a little uncertain about Bai Ying's meaning, so he could only tell the truth based on what he knew, "But two years ago, the son of the Qin family and... ..The little prince had conflicts that almost cost him his life, and Prime Minister Qin often excused his illness from going to court. I heard privately that the king was quite critical of this..."
Qin Gentian was considering his words as he spoke, avoiding suspicion by addressing him. Facing Baiying was no different than Shanglu. Although he didn't talk much, he was full of majesty as the empress.
Besides, the other party saved his life, and he sent his mother away from Qiongzhi. After being raped several times, the last bit of nostalgia for this place was also wiped out, so naturally he would no longer go this way.
Naturally, Baiying had already made preparations for these news, but he just wanted to see what was going on from the perspective of someone close to him like Qin Geng. Generally speaking, there was no big difference.
Therefore, Bai Ying began to think a little bit, it was better to talk than to do it.
"I see." Bai Ying nodded without comment, and called someone to settle them down first, "You guys rest first."
"Then... Miss Qin's team—" Qin Gentian reminded.
"Cleaned up." Bai Ying turned around and left.
The subordinate who was in charge of settling the two of them took up the conversation and explained briefly: "We cleared them before we came. There are indeed a few powerful ones, but most of them are just mobs. What the Lord said is good, so don't imitate those who are so stupid." Someone else came out to make trouble, and his brain is not complete."
She really thought that Baiying, the majestic lord of a country, had no other guards around her. Even if she really didn't, she should use her brain to know how a woman who survived the battlefield and became the king of a country could be so easily captured by a small country. The daughter of the aristocratic family succeeded in plotting.
The people who were urgently transferred from Baibu all thought that Miss Qin had something clever, but in the end——
For a young girl of this age, Miss Qin is indeed a great thing to say, but it is not enough to look at an elder who has experienced many battles.
Not to mention the loophole-ridden Furnace Project, but the fact that Phytophthora was so easily captured without any doubts is enough to make these "adults" laugh.
Maybe it's been too long since it's been aloof.
Gentiana Qin made up the reason in his heart. In Qiongzhi, it is not an exaggeration for the Qin family to say that they can cover the sky with one hand. How could Miss Qin, who grew up with a lot of love and love, really encounter any setbacks?
Although cautious by nature, he still thinks too highly of himself and his "subordinates" after all.
After leaving the compound, Bai Ying went straight to the capital.
The place where Shanglu and Gentiana Qin were imprisoned was in the wilderness, some distance away from the capital city. Most of the guards who originally escorted Gentiana Qin back stayed in the capital, and most of them "let nature take its course" and were "entangled" by Miss Qin's men and horses. No wonder Miss Qin is so confident.
But Ms. Qin probably forgot that Baibu was such a giant lying behind Qiongzhi, and could swallow it whole at any time.
"Where's Jingmo?" Baiying entered the city, the first thing she did was to ask about Jingmo's whereabouts.
Previously, Bai Ying sent the letter back, since it was not to confess such a major life event, so naturally it would not be a waste of manpower for no reason.
The efficiency of the Fifth Princess has never disappointed Bai Ying, but two days later, a group of people sneaked into Qiongzhi City at dusk, without disturbing anyone.
But there was no Jingmo in this group of people.
The subordinates explained that they came in batches, and the most important and useful ones like the hidden guards naturally went first, and since Jingmo was weak, Bailishuang personally escorted him and followed behind.
——Jing Mo will definitely come.
Bai Ying knew this result well, that's why she was anxious because she didn't see anyone for so long.
Even though she knew that her subordinates were all reliable, the worry caused by caring did not ease in the slightest.
Instead, it intensified.
Bai Ying touched her twitching eyelids, her brows furrowed and never relaxed.
"Where's Jingmo?" Bai Ying asked again.
"Master Military Adviser should have come with Little General Baili." The subordinate took the trouble to comfort him.
Bai Ying originally wanted to wait for Jing Mo to come over to discuss Qiong Zhi's situation, so she waited in the inn where she was staying temporarily, and she was impatient to wait, so she couldn't help but walk back and forth to show her anxiety.
But this anxiety was quickly broken by the news brought back by the subordinates who went to meet him.
"What did you say?" Bai Ying's voice was so cold that it almost fell apart.
"My lord, there is no military adviser's team on the official road to and from Qiongzhi." The subordinate who was in charge of the response lowered his head and reported the situation, "But when I returned to the city, I received a letter from the military adviser. "
The letter from Jingmo only contained five words——
"I'm fine, don't worry about it"
At first glance, it seemed to be a sign of safety, and the handwriting indeed belonged to Jing Mo himself, but Bai Ying's heart skipped a beat when she saw it.
She stared at the five words on the letter and turned them over and over for a while, then slapped the table vigorously, and asked her subordinates to deliver the letter to Qiongzhi Palace, and she wanted to visit in person.
As for the reason?
How could it be possible to talk about the political affairs of peaceful exchanges between the two countries, of course——
"Look for Jingmo. If you can't find it—throw Qiongzhi away."
Confusion flashed across his eyes, and Qin Gentian tried to sit up, but found that he was tied up with a rope, his hands were folded behind his back, and he could feel the pain of the rope being pulled into his flesh when he moved a little.
Qin Gentiana was taken aback for a moment, and finally came to his senses completely, realizing what had happened, and immediately his expression changed drastically.
"Qin—Shanglu!"
A hoarse low cry came out of the throat that had not uttered for a long time, echoing in the narrow space.
Such a sound was not enough to wake up the unconscious person on the other side.
Qin Gentian looked at Shanglu who was tied into a ball with his eyes closed not far away, and felt anxious, but the situation was unclear at the moment, and he didn't dare to scream loudly to attract the enemy.
So Gentiana Qin could only scan the surrounding environment vigilantly while recalling the process of what happened.
If time is to be counted, at least three days have passed since Gentiana Qin left the Qin family.
Qin Geng remembered that after he left Qin's house, he went straight to the place where his mother was detained, lest Miss Qin wake up and become angry and attack her.
Fortunately, the guards didn't notice anything unusual, or maybe it was Qin Gentian's luck. With the help of his friends, he rescued his mother, disguised himself, and sent her out of the city overnight.
Ten miles to the west of the capital of Qiongzhi is not the territory of Qiongzhi. Qin Geng had already calculated that the terrain in the west is rugged, not to mention that his use is not much left, and the Qin family probably will not spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find his mother. .
So although the incident happened suddenly, Gentiana Qin did not panic for long.
A friend stabbed her in the ribs and promised to take care of Gentiana Qin's mother until she woke up. Gentiana Qin had been with friends for many years, so naturally she would not doubt his nature, so she immediately let go of her heart.
After spending a day and night settling down with his mother, Gentiana finally returned to Qiongzhi.
Before leaving, his friend pulled him into shock: "You don't want to die! You escaped with great difficulty, why don't you just live in seclusion with your aunt in peace!"
Qin Gentiana paused for a moment for the word "aunt" in his friend's words, but he still pushed his friend's hand away slowly and firmly.
"I've promised to go back, and I can't break my word."
"You, you." The friend wanted to scold him, but in the end he swallowed it all back, so he could only sigh helplessly, "Why haven't you been so mean-spirited before, that's all, I'll take care of my aunt for you , but you must come back, otherwise, otherwise I..."
My friend "otherwise" for a long time, but nothing came out, so he could only pat Qin Gentiana on the head with the medical book in his hand.
"Otherwise, I'll break up with you!" The friend murmured again, "I owe you what I owed you in my previous life."
"Thank you." Qin Gentiana just smiled, then turned around and walked back to Qiongzhi Capital City in the twilight.
——Back to the source of that nightmare, of course, just to fulfill my promise of "receiving punishment".
In fact, Gentiana Qin could just run away and take his mother to an unknown place to start a new life. Her Majesty the Empress herself ran away from home, so she may not really have the leisure to pursue his affairs.
Qin Geng also knew that Her Majesty the Empress might not really have taken him seriously, and she might forget his existence when she turned around.
For a person who is not even surprised by his male identity, if he really intends to punish him, he may not even be able to get Qiongzhi back.
But Gentiana Qin also remembered that Shanglu was still there.
Regardless of the relationship between Shang Lu and Her Majesty the Empress, and the bottom line of Her Majesty's tolerance, Gentiana Qin cannot allow Shang Lu to bear the risks that may be caused by herself.
Because of promises and worries, Gentiana Qin came back.
As a result, Gentiana Qin had just sneaked into the capital, and before he could find Shanglu in the future, he was beaten with a sap.
At that time, he was tense and running back and forth. He was already extremely exhausted. Although he was vigilant, he was caught off guard.
When he woke up again, he was already in the current situation.
He never expected that the person who was still worrying about how to find it would appear under his nose so easily.
It's just that this place is really not a good place for a reunion.
Qin Gentiana couldn't help but smiled wryly. While recalling the cause and effect, he already had some guesses about the identity of the person who arrested them.
In the territory of Qiongzhi country, anyone who can have grievances with him and Shanglu at the same time, except the Qin family, don't think twice.
As for whether it's the intention of the head of the Qin family, or Miss Qin's public revenge, that's not very important.
The important thing, of course, is how to escape alive.
Although he doesn't like the behavior of the Qin family, Qin Gentiana has to admit that the Qin family is extremely decisive in their actions, even Qin Danzhu, a young lady who doesn't know what kindness is, is quite thoughtful.
All in all, no matter which party falls into the hands, it is not easy to escape.
But since they were not killed immediately, it means that they are still useful to the Qin family or Miss Qin.
It's just that I and my mother depend on each other for life, and Shang Lu is not from his own country. What does the Qin family want from them?
Qin Gentian had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He should have been searched before he was tied up, and all the sharp weapons hidden next to his body had been searched, so he could only slowly ask Shang Lu for help. Move over, at least wake up the person first.
Fortunately, although Shanglu was still awake, there were not many injuries on his body, and he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the sudden sap.
Since there was no resistance, naturally there is no need to suffer more.
Qin Gentian listened attentively to the movement outside for a while, and it seemed that no one was there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered Shanglu's name.
"Shanglu, Shanglu, wake up."
Amid Qin Gentiana's persistent calls, Shanglu's eyelids finally moved twice.
She struggled to open her eyes, as if she hadn't woken up, looking at the dim scene with a dazed expression, and it took a while to get used to the dim light.
Shang Lu's eyes moved to Gentiana Qin's face: "Gentina Qin? You... are you back?"
"..." Qin Gentiana's original instructions were stuck in his throat, and he didn't make a sound for a while. Seeing Shanglu's surprised expression, he didn't know what expression to use to face him, "... ..Um."
Thinking of the embarrassment between the two, Qin Gentian subconsciously turned his gaze away and said, "I promised. I will come back naturally."
Shanglu stayed for a while, her brain was a little slow when she just woke up, and it took her a while to sort out some of the incidents.
"What are you doing back?" Shang Lu also had an expression similar to that of Qin Gentian's friend - hating iron and steel, "Is your mother okay? You came back alone? Then what about your mother?"
"I, I..." Qin Gentiana was a little caught off guard by Shanglu's reaction. He took a while to catch up with Shanglu's train of thought, "I've settled her down. My friend will help me take care of my mother."
"That's good..." Shanglu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said in surprise, as if he had just discovered the rope on Gentiana Qin's body, "Where are we?"
Qin Gentiana paused, and swallowed back the words of worry that he was about to say, and replied, "I don't know, I'm here when I wake up—how did you get arrested?"
"I don't know either. I just drank a cup of tea in the teahouse over at Ximen, and then I fainted. It's now when I woke up." Shanglu explained, "What about you?"
"...teahouse?" Qin Gentiana's eyes flickered subtly, but he didn't say anything, but simply explained his situation, "I was knocked out when I was returning to the city. "
"Um--"
Shang Lu's gaze moved up and down on Gentiana Qin's body. The latter shrank subconsciously from the gaze, but frowned because he accidentally pressed the wound.
Qin Gentiana has long since changed back to men's clothes that are more convenient to move around. After he no longer deliberately poses as a woman, he naturally stretched out a bit of heroism between his brows, but after all, he is young and born well. He has not yet grown up, and he still has red lips and white teeth Exquisite appearance.
If he covered his chin down, probably most people would think that he was a woman——
Still the soft one.
"I said, do you lack exercise too much?" Shang Lu said, "Sure enough, you should exercise. If you want to practice martial arts, I can also teach you."
Gentiana Qin immediately understood that Shang Lu disliked him for being too weak to be knocked faint.
But in the current situation, the other party didn't seem to be much better. Qin Geng suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't help admiring the other party's optimism.
"Okay." Qin Gentian nodded in response, thought for a while and then asked, "Where is the... person with you?"
The word "Your Majesty" was hidden between the lips and teeth, but Shanglu still reacted immediately.
"You said Your Majesty—" Shang Lu rolled his eyes upwards, not as if he was rolling his eyes, but he seemed a little guilty, "This...should...should still be in the city Bar."
Shanglu didn't seem to know how to hide it at all, coughed lightly twice and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely come to save us!"
Seeing Shang Lu's categorical words, Qin Gentian became puzzled: "Why?"
"Because she is—" Shang Lu stopped the car in time, and changed his words temporarily, "She is a good person!"
something wrong.
Even if Shang Lu has always been big-hearted, he shouldn't even care about the current situation.
Even Gentiana Qin reacted immediately, his face changed slightly.
"you--"
Before the words fell, the old wooden door creaked suddenly, and the following footsteps interrupted the communication between the two.
The footsteps were extremely heavy, as if deliberately notifying the people in the room, the two raised their heads at the same time, one's face gradually darkened, and the other tried to hold the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether he wanted to go up or down, and finally made a nondescript smile .
Miss Qin appeared at the door, and light poured into the room from her side, casting a patch of light and shadow on the ground.
"Ah, what a coincidence that you are here too?!"
Miss Qin covered her mouth and looked at the two with an exaggerated shocked expression.
"We are really destined."
"Just tell me what you want." Qin Gentian said coldly.
Shang Lu was still busy rolling her eyes, looking at the dusty beams and the surrounding walls, but she didn't want to see Miss Qin who was full of drama, and finally her eyes fell on the crack of the wall on the right.
There is a pile of discarded sundries, almost half the height of a person, but they are all dilapidated, probably useless.
Seeing that no one cooperated with her performance, Ms. Qin was not embarrassed, she clapped her palms twice to attract their attention, and giggled twice at the same time, showing the innocent attitude of a naive girl.
"Oh, brother, don't be so cold, I am very grateful to you."
Miss Qin's tone was turbulent, and she walked slowly in front of Gentiana Qin, then grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met such a cute sister~"
Miss Qin's eyes moved to Shang Lu.
"I—" Shang Lu closed his mouth in time, narrowly swallowed back the swear words he was about to utter, and continued to put on an angry expression after swallowing, "Do you know how to respect the old and love the young! It's too bad to bully your brother like this face!"
"Oh, what did Sister Shang say? I just brought him back because I like him."
Miss Qin held Gentiana Qin by the collar, dropped it casually, walked up to Shang Lu, and raised her chin.
"Brother is still very lucky, a little beauty like Sister Shang - what a pity."
Shanglu stepped back with disgust, but touched the wall behind him.
"Since you're jealous, let me play with you." Ms. Qin slowly approached Shanglu's face, and said with a smile, "It's cute even if you look closely. I can consider saving your life, as long as you—"
Shanglu flinched back suddenly, but bumped his head against the wall. He felt stares in his eyes, and even the ambiguous words of the person in front of him seemed to be far away.
"Bring that Her Majesty the Empress out." Miss Qin bit down a certain word in her words.
Gentiana Qin heard clearly from the side, his face changed immediately, and he quickly reminded Shanglu: "Don't promise her!"
"Snapped--"
Miss Qin's complexion also changed, as if she was irritated by Gentiana Qin's unnecessary actions, she slapped her backhand, a red mark immediately appeared on the latter's white and tender face, and even the corner of her mouth overflowed with blood.
"Who allows you to speak casually!"
Miss Qin said angrily, and as if she had come to her senses, she frowned and picked out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then burst into a joyful smile.
"It doesn't matter, as long as she is in the capital for one day, I will definitely not let her slip away from my hands."
"As for you, don't take yourself too seriously, it's just a thing." When Miss Qin turned to the two of them, her face became disgusted again, "I have the final say on life and death, and if you are smart, you should do it. Make a point."
Seeing Miss Qin's face-changing performance, Shang Lu was speechless, thinking that Miss Qin was probably out of her mind.
But Gentiana Qin on the other side was panicked, he had almost guessed Miss Qin's plan, but he would rather be too whimsical.
Qin Danzhu seems to want to use the two of them to lure Her Majesty the Empress, and then - to kill her.
Miss Qin's intentions have been clearly revealed, but it is precisely because it is too obvious that Qin Geng feels that it is absurd from the bottom of her heart——
Regardless of the personal grievances between Miss Qin and the Lord of Hundred Ministries, just the assassination of the Lord of a Country makes people feel absurd.
Baibu is not like a small country in the backcountry of Qiongzhi, not to mention the power of the whole country, even the strength of a single city is enough to level this small country.
Although Miss Qin is the most favored child of the Qin family, it is not impossible for her to understand the capital of her pride.
If the head of a hundred tribes died in Qiongzhi, let alone a mere Qin family, the entire country of Qiongzhi might disappear in the world.
Is Qin Danzhu crazy? !
Qin Geng was terrified, but became more and more determined that Miss Qin's intentions would not be allowed to succeed, otherwise it would be a trivial matter for him to die here. As an "acccomplice" covering Her Majesty's departure from the palace, even his mother and friends would be implicated.
"Shang Lu——" Qin Gentiana spoke again, the pain in his throat couldn't stop him from raising his voice, "If His Majesty dies, the world will be in chaos again. You have to think about it. If I die, I will die, but she can't do anything. otherwise......"
Gentiana Qin had a sore throat and a sore head, and his thoughts were unclear but he still tried his best to persuade Shanglu.
"Snapped--"
The impatient Ms. Qin slapped her again: "Did you call your Majesty? But when you become a woman, you forget your ancestors!"
"Hey, you!" Shang Lu was taken aback, with uncontrollable anger on his face, "You wait for me!"
"I'm waiting." Miss Qin looked down at Shang Lu and smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."
.....
"right here?"
Bai Ying squatted on a tree, looking at the desolate courtyard below, every door was guarded, and there were people patrolling the courtyard.
The structure of the house was instantly imprinted in Baiying's mind, and she glanced at the side where the management was loose. She looked at the place with the most guards and the most straight.
Obviously, it seems to be clamoring "Come in, come in".
Bai Ying didn't go in right away, she was waiting.
"Yes." The subordinate standing on another tree branch responded briefly, "The manpower has been transferred."
"Watch it." Bai Ying glanced at several hidden spots in the house, and after confirming that they were correct, she nodded, "Don't let them go."
"Yes."
At the same time as the subordinate's voice fell, Bai Ying had already jumped off the tree, and even touched the sword behind the subordinate's back.
Subordinate: "Master..." I only have this sword...
Forget it, as long as the Lord is happy.
The subordinate wiped his bland face that could not be found in the humiliating pile, then jumped down, and landed silently behind the guard at the door, knocking the guard unconscious with each hand.
The subordinate touched the heavily decorated sword on the guard's body, curled his lips, and weighed it with disgust on his face: "It's barely used."
On the other side, Bai Ying had already walked around to the back of the house. According to the distribution seen earlier, this should be the place where Shang Lu was detained.
In fact, Bai Yingda can go in directly through the main entrance, and the intention of the owner here is obviously to wait for her to come over, but Bai Ying has been with Jing Mo for a long time, and occasionally he has some bad tastes.
Especially when these evil intentions are used on the enemy, Bai Ying has no psychological burden at all.
If you told me to walk through the gate, then I would lose face.
Baiying thought about it expressionlessly, then gestured to the wall in front of her with her eyes, and said softly, "Tear it down for me."
The subordinate who was hiding in the dark slipped his foot and almost fell off the roof. One person represented everyone and looked at Baiying with disbelief: "Master?"
"Remove." Baiying didn't even lift her eyelids, "There are people behind."
—— There are people behind the wall, so be careful when removing it.
In the final analysis, the wall still needs to be demolished.
So with a bang and the distressed faces of the subordinates, a big hole was broken in the wall, enough to accommodate two or three people in and out.
In the flying dust, Bai Ying held a sword in one hand, stood outside the wall with an indifferent expression, and looked at the person on the other side of the dust.
Ms. Qin didn't expect such an unexpected appearance, she was stunned for a while, and for a moment she forgot whether to go forward or retreat.
"Boss!" Shang Lu opened his mouth wide, and closed his mouth in surprise after eating a mouthful of dust. Almost tears filled his eyes, and he began to speak nonsense, "I knew you still love me, Boss! You still came here Get me."
"No." Bai Ying immediately denied.
In the next second, two figures rushed out, and before Miss Qin could react, they fished out Gentiana Qin and Shang Lu one by one, and threw them at Baiying's feet.
Bai Ying raised the sword and dropped it, the ropes on the two of them snapped.
Qin Gentiana was still in great shock and bewilderment, plus he suffered a lot at the hands of Miss Qin just now, and his mind is not clear yet, so he can only stare blankly at the scene in front of him with his mouth slightly open.
Shang Lu is indeed better than Gentiana Qin in terms of mentality and physical fitness, not to mention that she had expected the current situation, as soon as the rope was untied, she immediately rushed to Bai Ying's side, and she often cried to death with someone in her arms. The posture of the tragic mood of escaping.
Bai Ying flipped the blade over and used the hilt to hold Shanglu, preventing her from actually hugging her.
"Avoid suspicion." Bai Ying said to Shang Lu seriously.
"What?" Shanglu looked blank.
"I don't love you." Bai Ying continued to explain solemnly, "I have my own heart. I have to keep myself clean."
This time Shanglu understood: "..." It turned out that he was just disgusting himself.
What is going on with this complex emotion of sadness and subtle gratitude...
Shanglu's expression was also somewhat complicated.
The people outside the house were chatting and laughing happily, but the people inside the house were not in their good spirits, and their faces were always gloomy.
"You are Her Majesty the Empress of Baibu?" Miss Qin stared at Bai Ying with a strange glow of excitement on her face.
"Be careful!" Gentiana Qin reminded.
Bai Ying flipped the long sword over in her hand, and knocked down several sleeve arrows. The tips of the arrows were covered with a layer of greasy luster, probably poisoned.
"Huh?" Bai Ying looked at Miss Qin right now, "Who are you?"
It was as if she had just seen her so big being present.
Miss Qin's face turned dark again with such contemptuous attitude, but she quickly suppressed the hostility on her face and replaced it with an overly sweet smirk.
"My name is Qin Danzhu, and I am the one who will kill you." Miss Qin said in a tired voice, as if she was acting like a spoiled child to someone, "Daughter, Emperor, Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Only you?" Bai Ying cast a surprised look.
"Yes, it's up to me." Miss Qin bit her lower lip, squinted at Shang Lu and Qin Jia from top to bottom, and sneered, "Even if she takes you out of this room, so what? My men and horses, do you think you can run away after entering the city?"
"Exaggerated." Bai Ying pointed out calmly, "Up to three miles."
There were a few jagged sneers from the empty corner, as if it was a special occasion to praise Baiying. Shanglu was still at a loss, but Qin Gentian took the first step to figure out Baiying's way of speaking, and couldn't help laughing immediately. laugh.
"You—" Miss Qin also understood, her face turned green and white, and she said angrily, "You guys are just playing tricks on your lips, but you are just struggling to die - kill them for me! No one is allowed to stay! "
The guard who was guarding the door rushed out immediately upon hearing the sound, while Miss Qin drew out the long sword on the guard and rushed straight towards Bai Ying.
Bai Ying kicked Shanglu away, while lightly blocking Miss Qin's hidden weapon.Shang Lu clearly dragged Qin Gentiana and ran away, temporarily out of the battle.
"Boss—cough, Your Majesty, be careful!" Shang Lu did not forget to encourage Bai Ying while running, "By the way, teach my little sister to be a good person."
Ms. Qin probably learned martial arts since elementary school, and it seems that she has really put in effort, and every move has a style.
But she is in Qiongzhi, and she is also a boudoir girl, let alone Baiying who has actually been on the battlefield, even Shanglu, who is regarded as a three-legged cat by the latter, is better than Miss Qin.
It's just that Shanglu has been kidnapped for a long time, and his body is a bit weak. Besides, it is like a cat playing with a mouse to Baiying right now. It doesn't take much effort at all, and Shanglu is happy to drag Qin Gentiana to watch the fun and protect him by the way. up.
Gentiana Qin had some faint guesses before, but now he saw Shang Lu's sloppy and natural posture, so he dared to confirm it.
"Is this what you guys did?"
"Ah? Pretty much, it's actually what your majesty meant." Shanglu scratched his cheek, "I can't think of such a complicated problem, but your majesty said that Miss Qin had a problem, and we squatted with her for a few nights , This is confirmed, and then His Majesty said that as long as I cooperate naturally."
Qin Gentian had mixed feelings. He was surprised by Baiying's sensitivity, but also felt that he was worthy of being the empress with achievements. After looking at Phytophthora with no bait and self-consciousness on his face, he felt that this person was really strange.
Don't you even worry that you will get hurt or even die?
Miss Qin is a real dangerous person, not to mention how many people died in her hands, there are always some.
Shang Lu lost the ability to move, but she was not afraid at all, as if she was really sure that Bai Ying would come to rescue her in time.
Gentiana Qin thinks that he can't trust him like this - he can't do it to anyone.
What if?What if the timing is a little off, what if something unexpected happens?
Qin Gentiana was puzzled, but Bai Ying, who was calmly blocking Miss Qin's attack on the other side, seemed to understand his worry, and said, "Someone is following her."
It took Qin Gentiana some time to realize that Bai Ying's words were meant for him.
Is anyone following Shanglu?Someone is secretly protecting her?That's why Bai Yingcai wasn't worried at all, and even appeared so calm and relaxed.
Qin Gentian didn't think there were many surprises when he realized it, but Shang Lu seemed more surprised than him: "Your Majesty, did you send someone to protect me?"
"I have to be responsible for you." Bai Ying said, and she hurriedly added, "Your life is safe."
Shanglu was dumbfounded, and a warm feeling subconsciously appeared in his heart, which was probably called moving emotion.
Sure enough, I misunderstood her. Her Majesty is really a kind person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.Shanglu was moved to tears.
The communication as if there was no one around here angered Ms. Qin, she changed her offensive temporarily, made a feint, and then used her hidden weapon again.
"Are you a dummy?"
Baiying suddenly turned her head back, pulled the sword flower, Miss Qin's eyes blurred, she felt a pain in her hand, and immediately turned red.
Almost half of her wrist was cut off, so Miss Qin naturally couldn't grasp the hidden weapon anymore, but she was unwilling to give in, and immediately changed her other hand to touch something in her bosom.
Baiying's eyes were sharp, and she slashed down with another sword neatly, and Miss Qin's other hand was also crippled.
"Do you think you can leave safely if you kill me? Don't dream, I will hold you back even if I die! Come on! Come on!"
Even the pain of severed hand could hold back the pain, even Baiying couldn't help being a little bit amazed.But that's all.
The moment the sword tip was about to fall on her face, Miss Qin finally couldn't help closing her eyes and let out a scream.
"So stupid. It's embarrassing to come out." Feeling bored, Bai Ying put away the sword and turned around, "Take it back."
If you don't have all your brains, don't learn from others to do things.
The two have been fighting for such a long time, if there is someone behind the scenes, it is impossible for them not to react at all. Obviously, the person she is looking for is not there.
The purpose of probing was achieved, and Bai Ying didn't waste any more time. After giving an order, the subordinates hiding in the dark came out quietly and quickly dealt with the rest of the guards. A gaudy sword arrived at Miss Qin's side.
Miss Qin was shocked by this sudden change, with a look of disbelief on her face: "How is it possible?! I have already found someone to trip up those guards!! How could I not have noticed so many people at all?!"
"Miss, don't you know that besides guards, there are also hidden guards?" A lively subordinate picked out his ears and looked at Miss Qin sympathetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about Miss Qin." You are from Qiongzhi Kingdom, it’s a small country, it’s normal for you to be ignorant—oh, who beat me...cough, boss.”
This unusually lively subordinate immediately shrank his neck when he turned his head and saw his immediate superior.
"Don't talk nonsense, take people back."
Bai Ying is at Shanglu's side, but she is asking Gentiana Qin. Compared with Shanglu who came to Qiongzhi for the first time, it is obvious that Gentiana Qin has a deeper understanding of Miss Qin, but it is still limited.
"...I was only found half a year ago, and I rarely see her." Qin Geng searched for the information in his memory, "But Miss Qin is often not in the mansion, and some people gossip about seeing her go out with men. She was fooling around, but the whole Qin family thought she was a lucky star, all these news were suppressed, and a few gossips were killed, so no one dared to say anything..."
"Man..." Bai Ying frowned slightly, "What kind?"
"I don't know about this." Qin Gentian didn't know what to recall, his face turned slightly pale, "The people who talked about it... are basically gone."
It is self-evident what kind of "absent" law.
"Lord Qiongzhi." Bai Ying brought up another topic, "How is it with the Qin family?"
"The Qin family is Qiongzhi's aristocratic family..." Qin Geng was a little uncertain about Bai Ying's meaning, so he could only tell the truth based on what he knew, "But two years ago, the son of the Qin family and... ..The little prince had conflicts that almost cost him his life, and Prime Minister Qin often excused his illness from going to court. I heard privately that the king was quite critical of this..."
Qin Gentian was considering his words as he spoke, avoiding suspicion by addressing him. Facing Baiying was no different than Shanglu. Although he didn't talk much, he was full of majesty as the empress.
Besides, the other party saved his life, and he sent his mother away from Qiongzhi. After being raped several times, the last bit of nostalgia for this place was also wiped out, so naturally he would no longer go this way.
Naturally, Baiying had already made preparations for these news, but he just wanted to see what was going on from the perspective of someone close to him like Qin Geng. Generally speaking, there was no big difference.
Therefore, Bai Ying began to think a little bit, it was better to talk than to do it.
"I see." Bai Ying nodded without comment, and called someone to settle them down first, "You guys rest first."
"Then... Miss Qin's team—" Qin Gentian reminded.
"Cleaned up." Bai Ying turned around and left.
The subordinate who was in charge of settling the two of them took up the conversation and explained briefly: "We cleared them before we came. There are indeed a few powerful ones, but most of them are just mobs. What the Lord said is good, so don't imitate those who are so stupid." Someone else came out to make trouble, and his brain is not complete."
She really thought that Baiying, the majestic lord of a country, had no other guards around her. Even if she really didn't, she should use her brain to know how a woman who survived the battlefield and became the king of a country could be so easily captured by a small country. The daughter of the aristocratic family succeeded in plotting.
The people who were urgently transferred from Baibu all thought that Miss Qin had something clever, but in the end——
For a young girl of this age, Miss Qin is indeed a great thing to say, but it is not enough to look at an elder who has experienced many battles.
Not to mention the loophole-ridden Furnace Project, but the fact that Phytophthora was so easily captured without any doubts is enough to make these "adults" laugh.
Maybe it's been too long since it's been aloof.
Gentiana Qin made up the reason in his heart. In Qiongzhi, it is not an exaggeration for the Qin family to say that they can cover the sky with one hand. How could Miss Qin, who grew up with a lot of love and love, really encounter any setbacks?
Although cautious by nature, he still thinks too highly of himself and his "subordinates" after all.
After leaving the compound, Bai Ying went straight to the capital.
The place where Shanglu and Gentiana Qin were imprisoned was in the wilderness, some distance away from the capital city. Most of the guards who originally escorted Gentiana Qin back stayed in the capital, and most of them "let nature take its course" and were "entangled" by Miss Qin's men and horses. No wonder Miss Qin is so confident.
But Ms. Qin probably forgot that Baibu was such a giant lying behind Qiongzhi, and could swallow it whole at any time.
"Where's Jingmo?" Baiying entered the city, the first thing she did was to ask about Jingmo's whereabouts.
Previously, Bai Ying sent the letter back, since it was not to confess such a major life event, so naturally it would not be a waste of manpower for no reason.
The efficiency of the Fifth Princess has never disappointed Bai Ying, but two days later, a group of people sneaked into Qiongzhi City at dusk, without disturbing anyone.
But there was no Jingmo in this group of people.
The subordinates explained that they came in batches, and the most important and useful ones like the hidden guards naturally went first, and since Jingmo was weak, Bailishuang personally escorted him and followed behind.
——Jing Mo will definitely come.
Bai Ying knew this result well, that's why she was anxious because she didn't see anyone for so long.
Even though she knew that her subordinates were all reliable, the worry caused by caring did not ease in the slightest.
Instead, it intensified.
Bai Ying touched her twitching eyelids, her brows furrowed and never relaxed.
"Where's Jingmo?" Bai Ying asked again.
"Master Military Adviser should have come with Little General Baili." The subordinate took the trouble to comfort him.
Bai Ying originally wanted to wait for Jing Mo to come over to discuss Qiong Zhi's situation, so she waited in the inn where she was staying temporarily, and she was impatient to wait, so she couldn't help but walk back and forth to show her anxiety.
But this anxiety was quickly broken by the news brought back by the subordinates who went to meet him.
"What did you say?" Bai Ying's voice was so cold that it almost fell apart.
"My lord, there is no military adviser's team on the official road to and from Qiongzhi." The subordinate who was in charge of the response lowered his head and reported the situation, "But when I returned to the city, I received a letter from the military adviser. "
The letter from Jingmo only contained five words——
"I'm fine, don't worry about it"
At first glance, it seemed to be a sign of safety, and the handwriting indeed belonged to Jing Mo himself, but Bai Ying's heart skipped a beat when she saw it.
She stared at the five words on the letter and turned them over and over for a while, then slapped the table vigorously, and asked her subordinates to deliver the letter to Qiongzhi Palace, and she wanted to visit in person.
As for the reason?
How could it be possible to talk about the political affairs of peaceful exchanges between the two countries, of course——
"Look for Jingmo. If you can't find it—throw Qiongzhi away."
