Chapter 42:

Xian Sheng went to sleep, but this night he had another nightmare.
He dreamed that Zhan Zhen had gone to Qinlou, and found a little bit of white in a girl. When he came back, he began torture him with a penalty. After that, all the brothers who had just entered Beijing were also sent to prison. Zhan Zhen killed him in front of him in order to torture him.
"Sheng'er?" He was awakened, his forehead was wet with cold sweat, and he was in a trance for a while.
Zhan Zhen wiped his face and said, "Has a nightmare?"
"Hmm..." Xian Sheng was able to control his emotions when he was awake. He looked at Zhan Zhen's tender eyebrows. It was hard to imagine what he would look like when he raised his butcher knife to himself one day.
The night was confused, and Xiansheng slowly came over and buried his face in his arms. Zhan Zhen felt soft and distressed for his rare fragility, but was happy because of his dependence. He touched Xian Sheng's head and hugged him tenderly: "Don't be afraid, you will bring loneliness into your future nightmares. , Lonely will protect Sheng'er."
Xian Sheng was amused by his words. How could it be easy to say whoever you want in your dream?
But he agreed softly: "Okay."
There was no speech overnight, and the next morning, Xian Sheng woke up and suddenly heard the sound of a sword blade passing through the air.
He lifted the bed curtain and put on his shoes. When he looked up, he saw Zhan Zhen playing with a long sword in his hand. When he woke up, he said, "You picked it up from Qinlou yesterday. Come and see."
"I don't know much about this." Xian Sheng poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, then walked towards him and asked, "How long have you been up?"
"Gudu practiced the knife and came back." Zhan Zhen handed the sword over, Xian Sheng reached out, but he shrank again: "A bit heavy, put it on the table."
Xian Sheng sat down and touched it carefully. He only felt that the body of the sword was white, but it was cold and cold. He should drink blood often. He speculated: "This sword should have a good name."
"Senbai." Zhan Zhen said: "Have you ever heard?"
Xian Sheng shook his head and said, "I have been growing in the deep palace all the year round, and I don't know anything about rivers and lakes."
"This is He Ermi's sword." Zhan Zhen's tone was very light, but his eyes were deep. Xian Sheng looked up at him and suddenly understood who he was trying to arrest yesterday. He gathered his thoughts and curiously said, "Qin Yi's den, have you all sealed up?"
"He has acted cautiously, and only one spot has been exposed so far, the last time you were taken captive."
"Are you going to kill him?"
"Your elder brother is about to arrive in Beijing. To prevent them from meeting in private, you must start by yourself."
"If they really meet in private, don't you just catch it?"
With their eyes facing each other, Zhan Zhen supported his cheeks and said, "If so, your brother is afraid that he will be implicated."
"Brother does not agree with Qin Yi, not to mention the big picture now, he will not join forces with Qin Yi."
Zhan Zhen looked at Xian Sheng quietly. The latter also looked at him flatly. Zhan Zhen suddenly reached out and touched his cheek. There were some traces of the bite yesterday. He said: "The princess really thinks that the overall situation is set. Is it?"
Xian Sheng's expression did not change, but he quickly understood what he had not said. If Xiansheng is very frank, then the marriage between the two countries is really the big picture. Xian merchants will not rashly join forces with Qin Yi to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but if Xiansheng has a secret and hides the secret from Dajin, then one side It is Dajin who can be angry at his eyes at any time because of his secrets. On the one side is Qin Yi, a Liang man who loves Xiansheng's desire. Xian merchants are likely to choose to work with Qin Yi to smooth this matter before tearing down.
It doesn't matter how it's erased, but Zhan Zhen has now realized that he will definitely react according to this matter.
He must determine whether his wife has a secret before Xian Shang comes to Beijing, which will determine how he treats Xian Shang who comes to visit relatives.
How smart is Zhanzhen, Xiansheng sighed in his heart, he pushed himself to despair in just two sentences, implying that he had reached a frank and relative time, he was tempting, pressing step by step, but gave him another It seems that I still miss the illusion of sentimentality.
But how could Xiansheng take the initiative to confess, if he said it now, the brother-in-law's visit was going to Huang Quan, but at this point in the present, Xiansheng was not good to send a letter to the elder brother to persuade him to return, that is tantamount to admitting that he was hiding secret.
Xian Sheng suddenly turned his head and avoided his hand, making an unpleasant look: "I have already counted myself with you now, do you still say this?"
Zhan Zhen retracted his hand and froze for a moment. Every time Xian Sheng retorted, he felt that he was wrong and had to say: "It's wrong to be alone. Let's eat something first."
Xian Sheng ate as little as he always did, and when he ate, he collapsed on the recliner, but suddenly someone came to the palace and called Zhan Zhen.
Zhan Zhen put on the big cloak and said to him: "I think it was because of the Qin Lou yesterday. The Father and Emperor have something to ask."
"Be careful on the road." Xian Sheng didn't move. He was tired physically and mentally, but he still had to hold on, and his voice was weak.
His mood was so low that he was obviously depressed. Hearing Zhanzhen's departure in his ear, he slowly closed his eyes and was overwhelmed.
The footsteps left, but suddenly turned back, Xian Sheng opened his eyes subconsciously, the recliner under him was shaken by Zhan Zhen, he was a little dazed: "How come suddenly, um..."
Lips were kissed, and Zhan Zhen gasped away, whispering: "To be honest, did you send a letter to Qin Yi yesterday?"
Xian Sheng blinked, as if suddenly breathed in, and came alive for a short time: "No."
In this matter, he had no doubts, "What have I done in the Prince's Mansion, you are afraid that it is far clearer than me, Zhanzhen... I have not deliberately obtained any information around you, I am not a fool, you even let the study I go in. If anything happens, the first person who doubts it must be me. Such a trap, do you think I will be fooled?"
Zhan Zhen's breathing calmed down, he said: "I believe in you alone."
Then he kissed him again and coaxed: "Don't be unhappy, just look at the distressed."
Xian Sheng looked at him for a while, slowly lowered his eyelashes, and said softly: "Well."
Zhan Zhen caressed his cheek. When he got up and left, Xian Sheng suddenly asked, "How long will my brother be here?"
"About early February."
At least half a month.
In addition to meeting Zhan Zhen today, Emperor Jin proclaimed Zhan Jin. Probably want to ask him how he was under Jiang Qin. In order to prevent Jin Emperor from seeing the clues, Zhan Jin put on a special white, barely able to see A little girl's characteristics.
If Zhan Zhen was a sharp blade over his head for him, then Jin Emperor was a guillotine that he cut down in an instant, and he had to deal with it carefully.
He followed Jiang Qin into the palace, but suddenly heard someone shouting, "A Jin!"
Lifting his eyes, his face tightened instantly, Jiang Qin saw his expression, and then looked at Qing Rong who came and smiled and said, "I have seen the county master."
"I came to find A Jin with a few words." Qing Rong's eyes were gentle, Zhan Jin pursed his lips, and there was obvious reluctance in his eyes. He had not spoken yet, and Jiang Qin said: "Your Majesty has announced the two of me. There is an urgent matter. If there is something wrong with the lord, you may wish to wait and come out.
He was willing to help, but Qingrong opened his mouth with a smile: "The prince hasn't come yet, the little general is in a hurry... It doesn't hurt, if Ajin doesn't mind, I'll say it here, just a few words. That's it."
Jiang Qin was waiting for a response, and Zhan Jin had already said, "Let's go over there and talk."
He could only stop and wait for him, frowning and looking at Zhan Jin.
Qing Rong followed Zhan Jin to a remote place, turned his head to see Jiang Qin's expression, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the general is fond of you."
Zhan Jin said indifferently: "If you have anything, just say it."
Qingrong's eyes fell on his swollen chest, and he covered his lips and smiled, "What are you?"
Zhan Jin looked at her coldly, Qing Rong slightly calmed down and said: "Why are you so unhappy every time I see you? A Jin, I have worked hard to keep a secret for you. Think about it if you are Your majesty knows that you are bullying the king, even if you don’t kill you because you are a flesh and blood, you will surely drive you out of the capital. How will you avenge your mother concubine?"
Zhan Jin tightened his fingers and slowly said, "What the do you want me to do?"
"Will Xiansheng be like you... wearing a fake one?"
"Don't be fooled again. Uncle Xiao said that she is a woman, not to mention that the prince and her are both in the cave. Is it impossible to tell whether a man is a woman?"
Qing Rong looked down, in fact, she knew that this was not possible. If there was not a Zhan Jin around, she would not think so much. Maybe because she hated Xian Sheng so much, she always hoped that he could have more mistakes.
She threw this idea into her mind and said, "Your Majesty proclaimed the prince today, and she will definitely ask Qin Yi about the progress of things. I have a way, maybe I can lead him out."
"Qin Yi is not that easy to grasp."
"Xiansheng is the best bait." Qingrong disregarded Zhan Jin's complex expression and said, "If your majesty asks, you will find an opportunity to propose Xiansheng as a bait. Qin Yi will definitely come out."
Her eyes were burning, but Zhan Jin was silent. At this moment, Jiang Qin's voice suddenly came: "See His Royal Highness Prince!"
Zhan Zhen also surprised him with this loud shout, "What do you do so loudly?"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Qin signalled and turned his head to look. Qing Rong and Zhan Jin were saluting here. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Go to see the father emperor quickly."
He stepped forward, Jiang Qin first followed, and Zhan Jin immediately trot after him.
Emperor Jin was experimenting with arrows, and when he heard a report, he put down his bow and arrow and wiped his hands while saying: "The arrow hit this time is still not working. We still need better weapons, which can also be played in the hands of ordinary soldiers. Powerful weapon."
He sat firmly and did not greet him, and directly asked Zhan Zhen: "The one you did last time, hand gun, what happened to it?"
"The range is too close, not yet."
They chatted a few words at random, and Emperor Jin's eyes fell on Zhan Jin, with some surprises: "A Jin is so tall and arrogant, how about Jiang Qin? How can he adapt?"
"Every Emperor Lau misses everything, everything is fine."
Emperor Jin also asked Jiang Qin a few words. He heard him exaggerating Zhan Jin, and he laughed, with Rong Yan on his face. Zhan Jin looked in his eyes and couldn't help raising his lips slightly, a little happy.
The topic soon turned to Qin Lou's affairs yesterday. His expression was slightly more serious, and he asked Zhan Zhen: "Is there any relationship between Qin Yi and Xian Sheng?"
"No." Zhan Zhen didn't hesitate: "She didn't get out of the door, she didn't walk, she didn't have the chance to get in touch.
"What about the two Liang people in her hand?"
"The people they contacted have also been checked. Most of them are people in the government. They are innocent, and Xian Sheng doesn't care about these things. Yesterday, he went to Qinlou...all because of the lingering Hualou before the children. It tastes good."
Emperor Jin's face softened, and he laughed again: "Well, she is also a clever child. If she can carry her, she will be a good wife in the future... Why do you still go to such a place when you have such a beautiful wife in your arms?" "
"Qinlou is mixed with fish and dragons, and the children are also going to do business."
"What do you do to arrest Qin Yi?"
Zhan Jin's eyelashes flickered, and Emperor Jin immediately asked, "Ajin has something to say?"
"No..." Zhan Jin weighed for a while and said, "I have no good way."
"What about Jiang Qin?"
Jiang Qin arched his hand and said, "The best way we have discussed is, Qin Yi is too cautious. He will never act rashly unless he uses the prince as a bait, but the matter is too dangerous and the prince has rejected it."
Emperor Jin looked at Zhanzhen, wanting to say something, thinking about the flowery face of his daughter-in-law, and perhaps impairing the royal face if protection was weak, and suddenly understood. He sighed and asked about the barracks, and he intermittently nagged his family and asked them to leave.
Zhan Zhen and Jiang Qin walked ahead and said to Zhan Jin: "When you come to the palace, just go and see your mother."
"Well." Zhan Jin agreed, and left with his head bowed. Zhan Zhen watched him disappear and asked Jiang Qin: "What's so strange about her beside you?"
"Ah?" Jiang Qin recalled, wondering: "What can be different?"
"It's strange to see her alone."
"She is your sister, how can you say that?"
Zhan Zhen commanded: "Let her come to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon and say you have something to do with him."
Jiang Qin paused, frowning, his voice softer: "What the happened?"
"Since you haven't noticed something strange, what are you worried about?"
Zhan Zhen looked at it lightly, and Jiang Qin instantly felt that he seemed to be a transparent person. He was honest and honest: "It's a bit strange, but I can't say it... I just thought, if there is no harm, it is better to let her go, who can't point? Difficulties."
"Pampering is not necessarily good for her."
He was uncomfortable, and Jiang Qin was anxious: "If the princess does something harmless and hides from you, do you want to get to the bottom?"
Zhan Zhen stopped and turned his eyes into deep, Jiang Qin then said: "If she has no bad heart, if she is forced, if she is full of grievances, do you have to be aggressive like this?"
"Dare you say lonely and aggressive?"
"...I'm just an example." Jiang Qin said: "Take her as a prince, would you still pursue her secret like this?"
Zhan Zhen caressed his chest subconsciously, and the hairpin was lying in his arms now. He touched the lines on it many times, remembering its appearance without looking at it, remembering that it had been taken off from the ink-sprayed silk, and remembering the softness of the hair. Loosened and poured onto the entire pillow.
He always thought that Xiansheng was elegant and elegant, and it was very suitable for jade when no powder was applied. Of course, if you put on makeup, matching gold and silver jewelry is also rare in the world of Yongronghuamei.
In his heart, the hairpin is a thing of sympathy. At first glance, he always feels happy, but recently, he suddenly dared not look at it.
"His Royal Highness?" Jiang Qin peeped something out of his expression and tentatively said, "Is there any strangeness, Princess Prince?"
Zhan Zhen said coldly: "She can see the sun and the moon for her loneliness, and she is in jealousy because she is jealous. But women’s extravagance is normal, what’s so strange?"
"Oh." Jiang Qin, a neighboring capital, didn't believe and nodded in agreement: "His Royal Highness makes sense."
