Chapter 52:

Early the next morning, Queen Wei reprimanded Ying Luo.
Therefore, everyone in the hunting palace knew that the three princesses, Changning and Princess Yingluo, didn't know why they were arguing about what happened, and Yingluo scratched Changning's face.
Of course this incident also reached Qin Jiao's ears.
Qin Jiao slept until three poles in the sun that day before getting up. He was eating breakfast and lunch, and he heard this from Du Ruo.
"Girl, did you say that Princess Yingluo really scratched the face of the third princess?"
Du Ruo looked very interested. From her point of view, these two people deserved it. If they had not bothered each other, calculated each other, and even harmed their own girl, how could they end up like this!
Two words can sum up her current mood: happy!
Add two more words: it deserves it!
"I don't think it is." Qin Jiu casually chatted with Du Ruo while eating millet porridge, "Yingluo is also ruthless in his mouth, plus speaking and acting arrogantly and arrogantly, but in fact, he is far from the three princesses as harsh and unscrupulous. "
Apart from other things, just looking at what happened yesterday is like a chain of thoughts and thoughtfulness. Moreover, if others find that the plan fails, they will be panicked, or beg for mercy, or deny it, but this The third princess was different. She made a decisive decision and bit Yingluo as soon as she turned her head.
This time to judge the situation is truly incredible!
Qin Jiu gave Changning a compliment in his heart, and said, "80% of the faces were drawn by the third princess."
"Why?" Du Ruo blurted out in surprise.
For a woman, appearance can be said to be as important as life, not to mention that Changning is still a dignified princess, and not a barbarian like Yeluluan, who doesn't care if she hurts her face.
Qin Jiao wiped the corners of his mouth with a kerchief, and said with a smile, "Naturally because he doesn't want to be married."
"She probably feels that if she hurt her face, she doesn't need to make a kiss. Moreover, if her face was hurt by Yingluo, then Yingluo should replace her to make a kiss, killing two birds with one stone."
Qin Jiu spread his hands and said, "Look, this logic is really smooth!"
Du Ruo: "!"
Qin Jiao: "But, it's a pity."
"What a pity?" Du Ruo asked curiously.
Qin Jiu smiled without saying a word, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small steamed bun, bit down beautifully, and smiled and said: "Du Ruo, prepare a riding outfit for the girl, and I will go out to play in a while."
Jin Thigh said, take her to a nearby town to see a hundred operas today.
It is said that the group that performed all kinds of operas came from the Western Regions!
After eating, Qin Jiu put on a primrose-colored riding outfit, took her Taqing and went to the hunting platform, but Du Ruo witty did not follow.
From a distance, I saw Gu Zezhi waiting under a few red pine trees. His white horse was leisurely eating grass on its own side, and occasionally stepped on its hooves twice.
The red pine is rough and rough, proudly soaring into the sky, showing a somewhat high spirit, which forms a sharp contrast with the elegant and gentle Gu Zezhi.
"come."
Gu Zezhi beckoned to Qin Jiu, and Qin Jiu trot over happily.
A cloak hung on Gu Zezhi's right arm, which naturally surrounded her.
Qin Jiao raised his head and smiled at him, not daring to bother with Jin's thighs, and quickly fastened the belt of the cloak himself.
After putting on the cloak, her whole body warmed a lot, and she couldn't wait to urge: "Let’s go, Lin Pu Town is a dozen miles away from here."
Her eyes were shining, and she was about to get on her horse in the stirrup.
When he got on the horse, the cloak was somewhat of a hindrance. Gu Zezhi lifted the back of the cloak for her, then blew the whistle, and his white horse ran over by itself.
As soon as Gu Zezhi got on his horse, he heard a commotion from the direction of the forest, with the sound of messy horse hooves.
Both Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi grabbed the horse rope and looked back subconsciously.
Only four or five eleven or twelve-year-old, gorgeously dressed young boys stumbled out of the mountains and forests, running out of breath.
They all described them as embarrassed, and their expressions could not hide the panic. Some people had slightly messy temples and some dust on their bodies, and some had some blood on their robes.
Those little princes also saw Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi.
The expressions of the teenagers suddenly became a little subtle, some frowned, some hesitated, some worried, some worried...All their eyes shot towards Qin Jiao.
Several teenagers pushed and shoved each other, hesitating.
Qin Jiao also noticed the abnormalities of these teenagers, squinted his eyes, scanned them around, and noticed two familiar faces among them.
Last month, the little kid in the family had a hangover. When she and Qin Zening went to the theater to arrest someone, they met. It seemed that one was the son of Zhang's Mansion and the other was from the Shunning Hou's Mansion. They were both famous in Beijing. The new generation dude.
Her gaze moved down, and it fell on the blood stains on their robes again, frowning her brows slightly.
Qin Jiao pinched the horse's belly slightly, and Ta Qing paced towards the teenagers.
The little princes seemed to have seen some scourge, silently stepped back, and then stepped back, wanting to rush away. However, before two of them ran a few steps, they were moved by a pair of big palms. The ground grabbed the back collar, one in each hand, and the poor teenagers were unable to move as if they were caught by the breast cat.
"put……"
One of the young boys in blue was about to shout, when he heard a gentle male voice interrupted him: "Don't run."
Obviously the man's voice was so gentle, the clouds were calm and breezy, but in the ears of the two teenagers, he could hardly hear the cat teasing the mouse.
Both teenagers froze and did not dare to move.
The other young princes stopped seeing their friends being arrested, and seemed to feel that they just ran away like this, which was unjustified.
Qin Jiao drove Ta Qing to walk to the blue-clothed boy, looked down at him condescendingly, and asked casually, "Where is Qin Zeyu?"
Qin Jiao was just asking casually, but several teenagers seemed to be slapped face to face. Their complexions were no longer good, and some of them looked away with a guilty conscience.
Qin Jiu: "!"
Qin Jiao saw two of them she recognized, and looked at them panicked when they saw him. He determined that something was wrong, and deliberately asking Qin Zeyu was just a conversation, intending to swindle.
I don't want to, she hasn't started to act real, these bear children are first guilty.
Qin Jiu urged impatiently: "Say!"
The teenagers trembled, shrank their necks, and looked at Qin Jiu like a frightened rabbit. They seemed to say, "Don't hit us!"
Qin Jiao: "..."
Even if Qin Jiu could not read minds, he could tell at a glance what these bear kids were thinking.
If Qin Zeyu were here now, Qin Jiao might have rewarded him with a thrill.
Qin Zeyu, what the did that little kid tell his friends? !
Qin Jiao took out the whip tied to his waist, and pulled the whip with a smile, and the whip made a sound of "pop!"
Her smile was like a flower, and the intimidation in her actions was beyond words.
The blue-clothed boy swallowed subconsciously and quickly said: "We don't know, we are separated!" Qin Zeyu was right, his sister was really terrible!
Once someone started, the other teenagers were relieved. You said in a word: "We went into the hunting ground with Qin Zeyu at dawn..."
"Who would think, so unlucky, we actually met a big white tiger with eyes hanging in a woods. We were so frightened that we didn't even care about the horses, we scattered and fled, and then we were separated."
"Later we met at the foot of the mountain outside the forest, but after waiting for a stick of incense there, we didn't see Qin Zeyu."
"We are worried that something will happen to him, so we want to return to the hunting palace first to ask the emperor for help..."
"We didn't talk about loyalty."
The teenagers rushed to talk.
Looking at the whip in Qin Jiu's hand, the blue-clothed boy shrank again.
In fact, they just saw that Qin Jiu wanted to come over and tell her about it, but they remembered that Qin Zeyu had said that her sister was very fierce and did not dare to come over for fear of being beaten by Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiao's brows were tightly furrowed, and he asked angrily: "Why didn't you say when I saw me?"
Another boy in Tsing Yi, whose back collar was held by Gu Zezhi, said honestly, "I'm afraid of being beaten."
The other teenagers also nodded.
Qin Jiao: "..."
Gu Zezhi took the Tsing Yi boy's back collar, "Where did you meet the tiger?"
The boy in Tsing Yi hurriedly said, "There is a small stream formed by a spring flowing down from the mountain at the foot of Jiufeng Mountain. We are the mountain along the direction where the spring flows down. We probably walked one more mile up..."
They originally thought that the wild animals in the mountains and forests would definitely come to the water source to drink. How could they have thought that hares, pheasants, deer, etc. had not encountered them, but they had run into an evil tiger!
"You entered Jiufeng Mountain? Who allowed you to go to Jiufeng Mountain?" Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiufeng Mountain is no longer the periphery of the hunting ground, but the center of the hunting ground. Some beasts are on Jiufeng Mountain.
These little kids, no more than thirteen years old at most, didn't even have all their hairs. They should have only been able to play outside the forest. No one was allowed to enter Jiufeng Mountain with them.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The bear children were all speechless.
They were also not reconciled because they had walked in the mountains and forests for more than an hour without gaining anything, so they sneaked into Jiufeng Mountain, thinking that there should be no beasts around Jiufeng Mountain.
Seeing their guilty conscience, Gu Zezhi didn't ask any more questions. There were priorities. Now is not a good time to teach these bear kids.
Gu Zezhi said: "You all stay here, none of you are allowed to run around."
They looked at each other, and all stood there honestly.
Qin Jiu found a young general guarding nearby and asked him to tell Qin Zening the news of Qin Zeyu's disappearance in Jiufeng Mountain.
Qin Zening walked in front of the imperial court, and knew them very well, so the teenager agreed immediately.
At the same time, Gu Zezhi let go of the two teenagers, rolled over and got on his white horse again. The white horse seemed to know the master's intention, and his two front hooves were eagerly lifted up.
"Let me find it."
As soon as Gu Zezhi's words fell, Qin Jiu immediately said, "I will go too."
Gu Zezhi didn't persuade him, just said: "You follow me closely, don't leave me too far."
Qin Zhuo responded happily and followed Gu Zezhi into the forest, about two horses behind him.
Qin Jiu was still a little rusty on horseback. He didn't ride fast. Gu Zezhi followed her speed to lead her the way forward and pointed in a direction:
"Jiufeng Mountain is in the southwest. I know a shortcut. It should take less than half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain."
There were dense trees everywhere in the mountains and forests. Qin Jiao felt the same everywhere. After a while, she lost her way. She felt the same everywhere, so she could only follow Gu Zezhi forward with black eyes.
"Be careful."
"Pay attention to the thorns beside."
"It should be less than two miles away from Jiufeng Mountain."
"..."
Along the way, Gu Zezhi reminded Qin Jiu from time to time and pointed her direction.
Gu Zezhi has always been reliable in speaking and doing things. He said it was half an hour to half an hour. It was almost noon when Qin Jiao heard the sound of a "screaming" mountain spring.
Qin Jiu immediately thought of the mountain spring mentioned by several bear children, his eyes brightened, and he subconsciously pinched his horse's belly, prompting Ta Qing to speed up again.
Passing through the wild pine forest where they were, a clear view of the sky suddenly appeared. A clear mountain spring gurgled down along the rocky gaps of the mountain stream in front of them. The crystal clear spring water was shining in the sun, and the spring water was tingling...
"Be careful, the road is a bit steep."
Gu Zezhi rode his horse forward and went up along the gurgling spring. There was no road in the mountains. The gap between the trees was only enough for a horse to walk through. Qin Jiu followed Gu Ze, only behind. A distance of more than three feet.
Gu Zezhi looked back at her from time to time, while observing the surrounding environment.
After walking about one mile up the mountain, Gu Zezhi pulled the horse rope and the white horse stopped.
The surrounding area was a little messy, and there were shrubs that were broken and flowers and plants trampled into mud everywhere. Even Qin Jiu could roughly judge that this is probably the place where Qin Zeyu and a few teenagers met the tiger.
Gu Zezhi rolled over and got off the horse neatly, and checked the surroundings, looking for traces and footprints left by people and tigers.
Qin Jiao followed Gu Zezhi and looked around. All she could see was that there was no blood around, and that no blood meant that no human or animal was injured.
Qin Jiu's heart fell a little bit in his throat along the way, but it was still hanging.
Gu Ze looked at the footprints on the ground for a while, then took a piece of cloth from among the thorns, and then picked up a broken branch and looked at it, walking gracefully and calmly.
Qin Jiao followed behind. She had no time to care about her surroundings. She could only follow him blindly. Mountain roads were difficult. After a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but Gu Zezhi was flat.
Suddenly, the purple figure in front of him stopped, and Qin Juo confiscated it one by one, and almost ran into it without staggering.
Gu Ze grabbed Qin Jiu's right arm with one hand and stabilized her body. Then, the index finger of his right hand pressed lightly on her thin lips and made a "hush" gesture to signal Qin Jiu's silence.
Qin Jiao closed his mouth quickly and nodded repeatedly.
Gu Zezhi pulled Qin Jiu to hide behind a thick tree trunk, and then pointed his right arm to the front right.
Qin Jiu looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that six or seven feet away, a big white tiger with hanging eyes was wandering around a birch tree. The big tiger occasionally stretched out its thick front paws to scratch the trunk, saying no The roar of resistance.
"Wow!"
Then the birch shook slightly, and the leaves fell like rain.
Qin Jiu's gaze moved upward, and he saw a familiar figure on the birch tree. Qin Zeyu hung his hands and feet on the tree like a koala. His clothes were messy, and his appearance was both pitiful and ridiculous.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Qin Jiao almost didn't laugh.
But Qin Jiu could hold himself back, but Taqing who was behind him couldn't. The roar from the king of beasts made Taqing neigh uncomfortably, and he was pacing, seeming to be anxious for the power of the beast king ahead.
However, Gu Zezhi's white horse was much more calm, and he flicked the horse's tail lightly and stood still.
"Sister~~"
Qin Zeyu on the tree noticed Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi because of the sound of Taqing's neighing. As if he had seen a savior, his eyes were bright and he shouted out pitifully.
He has been hanging on this tree like this for at least half an hour, and his hands are a little numb, and he can't hold it anymore. If he falls down, he will change from hunting to prey. Think about it and feel like himself. Pathetic.
Seeing that the kid is still alive and kicking, Qin Jiu's lips bend, and his eyebrows are lighter.
"Wow!"
The tiger also heard the sound and looked in the direction of Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu. The bloodthirsty eyes burst out with fierce rays, and he opened his mouth and let out a low demonstrative roar, threatening these two ignorant humans.
It arched its back, and its front paws slashed on the ground twice, and its sturdy body was like a full bowstring, ready to go.
Taqing was even more disturbed, pacing his horse's hoof and making an uneasy neigh, Qin Jiao touched its head, soothing its emotions.
Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, his expression was not flustered at all, he only said gently: "Cover your ears."
Qin Jiao: "?"
She hurriedly covered her ears.
As soon as Gu Zezhi raised his right hand, something shot out in the direction of the tiger. In the next instant, he heard a loud "bang", and the thing suddenly exploded in front of the tiger with a cloud of gray smoke. Then it spread.
The explosion sounded like a thunderstorm that even the surrounding ground seemed to shake.
The tiger had never seen such a thing before, and was frightened, ran away with its tail clipped, and sprinted towards the depths of the mountains and forests, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qin Zeyu was also taken aback, almost fell from the tree, hugged the trunk harder, and secretly said: Fortunately, he is good at it!
but……
Qin Zeyu looked down at Gu Zezhi below with scorching eyes, wondering what the thing he threw out just now was, if he read it right, it should have been emitted from Gu Zezhi's sleeve.
Such a gadget is so powerful? !
Qin Jiu was equally curious, but unlike Qin Zeyu, who had never seen the world, her expression was still calm, and she kept recalling history in her mind, thinking: Is there a hand Mucang in the cold weapon era?
Is her history taught by the physical education teacher?
"It's a sleeve gun." Gu Zezhi explained simply, "I will wait for you to play in the hunting palace."
Qin Jiao was satisfied, her eyes curled up with a smile, and when she raised her eyes to look at the bear child who was still hanging on the tree, her pretty face became hardened and urged: "Come down."
Qin Zeyu hurriedly climbed down from the birch with his hands and feet, and his curious eyes looked straight into Gu Zezhi's cuffs, as if he had completely recovered from the thrill of just now.
"Your feet are soft?" Qin Jiao folded his arms around his chest and raised his eyebrows, "Come here by yourself if you don't feel soft. Don't point to who will carry you back."
Qin Jiao said as he looked at the unconscious bear boy, his sleeves and robe corners were scratched a little, and there were some bruises and blood stains on his face, but he finally had no broken arms or legs.
"My little master, why do I have soft feet?" Qin Zeyu licked his neck and unfastened the long bow on his back. "My little master is ready, and he is waiting for the opportunity to shoot the big worm in the eye! At that time, it will be self-conscious. Will run away!"
"No soft feet?" Qin Jiao tucked the corner of his mouth and laughed leisurely, "I'm crying like this."
Qin Zeyu hurriedly wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, his mouth still stern: "My little master didn't cry!"
Qin Jiu took a step closer to him, and said lightly, "Do you remember what I said last time?"
Qin Zeyu: "..."
He doesn't remember, the third sister has said too much, and he is not allowed to do this or that!
He pondered hard for a while, and suddenly said eloquently, "You didn't say you were not allowed to enter the woods!"
"Are you still reasonable?" Qin Jiu's lips were curved higher.
Qin Zeyu was afraid of being beaten, and subconsciously hugged his head, his whole person bounced up, and quickly hid behind Gu Zezhi.
He thought well in his heart. Gu Ze seemed to have a good temper, and would not push him out like the older brother.
Besides, the third sister finally coaxed a guy whose eyes were blurred, and she would definitely not dare to use violence in front of Gu Zezhi. Otherwise, she will not be able to marry if she scares people away!
Qin Zeyu hid behind Gu Zezhi, then surreptitiously looked towards Qin Jiao...
As a result, his elder sister hadn't moved yet. Gu Zezhi had easily lifted him by the back collar and lifted him in front of his elder sister.
Qin Zeyu was dumbfounded: "???"
Before he could react, Qin Jiao had broken a branch that was not thick or thin from the tree next to him, and he drew it directly at him, "Pop!"
"Yeah!"
"Sister, sister, I was wrong!"
Qin Zeyu cried out with a headache, he wanted to escape, but he was caught by Gu Zezhi and couldn't escape.
Qin Jiu: "Have my aunt said that you are not allowed to enter the woods?!"
"Are there any rules in the hunting palace, your little kid is not allowed to run deep in the hunting ground without being accompanied?"
"You still have reason?!"
Qin Jiao became more angry and slammed Qin Zeyu's twice with a twig, feeling that this kid was going to go to the room without teaching for a day!
Qin Zeyu hugged his head pitifully and yelled, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Qin Jiao gave him another viciously, and said, "I should have let the tiger eat you."
Qin Zeyu: "..."
Seeing Qin Jiu's anger almost disappeared, Gu Zezhi pretended to pull her hand holding the branch, and smiled gently and persuaded: "It will be fine if you have hit it." Don't tire yourself.
Qin Jiu also thought about it, threw the branches away, and patted the dust on his hands.
Qin Zeyu looked at Gu Zezhi with emotion. When the third sister hit him before, even the older brother didn't help.
From now on, Gu San Gongzi will be his brother-in-law!
This sister can deny it, but the brother-in-law must admit it!
Qin Zeyu had messy clothes and messy hair. Now after being beaten by Qin Jiu, the whole person is even more embarrassed, as if he had crawled out of a pit.
Gu Zezhi personally adjusted Qin Zeyu's clothes and became a peacemaker, "Your sister is also worried about you."
Qin Zeyu was even more moved, and felt that the future brother-in-law was reasonable!
He honestly said to Qin Jiu: "Sister, I was wrong."
Although Gu Zeyu was playful, he was slaughtered and raised as a kid, but he was not a person who really didn't know what was good or bad.
Of course he knew that if the third sister was not really worried about him, why would she deliberately go into the mountains to find him?
Obviously he is not good to the third sister at all, and the third sister can leave him alone and let him fend for himself.
Third sister and Qin Xin are different...
Obviously being spanked and hurting, and being chased by the tiger was exhausted, but Qin Zeyu couldn't help but recall one thing.
At that time, he was just seven years old.
Qin Xin took him to play on Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. They suddenly encountered a vicious dog. He attracted the attention of the vicious dog, and the vicious dog chased him to bite. He ran around in a panic. Climbing up the tree like today, hiding for an hour, the vicious dog walked away happily.
Later, he returned to Zhuangzi exhausted, Qin Xin cried so hard to hold him, saying that she was extremely worried.
At that time he was very moved, and felt that the second sister was really kind to him.
But now when I think about it, Qin Xin didn't even have any makeup on his face at the time, and his clothes were clean and perfect as if he had walked away from the painting.
Looking at the third sister, although she would hit herself when she caught her, she was really worried about herself in such a hurry.
really……
Qin Zeyu twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little bit complicated: Does this mean that he can see things through after he has been beaten?
wrong!
If you say that, is it true that you owe it? !
Qin Zeyu felt that he was probably beaten stupid.
Or is it like Zhang Erhou, the and Taoist guy, said, I really have a bad year this year, will I be unlucky until the end of the year?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I was a bit unlucky this year!
And it’s not yet the twelfth lunar month...
Qin Zeyu twitched his eyes, and suddenly remembered something, and muttered, "Is there really a Blizzard?"
"What Blizzard?" Gu Zezhi asked.
Qin Zeyu replied smoothly: "The day before I set off for winter hunting, I went to see the second sister... I overheard her instructing the maid to hand over to the second prince, saying that there will be violent storms and snow around the 20th of this month. If you don't go early Departing back to Beijing, I am afraid that I will be trapped in the hunting palace, and it will be difficult to move."

The sleeve gun appeared in the mid-Ming Dynasty and was a special hidden weapon mixed with gunpowder.
