"What does he want?" In this world, nothing is good for no reason, especially in the royal family, especially when the other person is his mortal enemy.
Seeing that Gu Qiancheng was unhappy, Qin Jiyan added: "However, it doesn't matter even if you cause trouble, I will always protect you."
Gu Qiancheng nodded hurriedly...
"Zino, how is the matter?" The Emperor of Northern Qi knew that he shouldn't be impatient, but... he couldn't calm down, and he didn't want to pretend in front of Zino.
The regent seemed to be interested in Gu Qiancheng.
"Professional habits, I've always been curious about Zino, so I took a second look." Gu Qiancheng didn't hide anything from Qin Jiyan.
"I will live up to your will." Buried in Qin Jiyan's arms, Gu Qiancheng spoke so quietly that Qin Jiyan didn't hear him clearly, "What did you say?"
"Are you talking about Zino, or these three abandoned cities?" Gu Qiancheng did not refuse, and spontaneously found a comfortable position, leaning in Qin Jiyan's arms, and yawned delicately: a little sleepy.
How could it be possible? The regent of Northern Qi had never been to Da Qin, and Wu Yun had never left the capital. How could he look familiar to Qian Cheng
"Well, I... just wanted to give it a try. When I arrived in Beiqi, the case of the Goddess Tower was always investigated." Gu Qiancheng was like a child who had done something wrong, obediently lowering his head to admit his mistake.
"You... are so careful." Qin Jiyan admitted that he did not take Gu Qiancheng's attention seriously. He focused on Zino and ignored these details.
"A deserted city in the desert, what does he want there for?" Isn't that a no-nonsense zone
"You were in the palace before. Was it your professional habit to see the regent?" Qin Jiyan felt a little uneasy thinking about the regent's attitude.
"You..." Qin Jiyan patted Gu Qiancheng's arm, "Don't take risks next time."
Although it was nominally from Northern Qi, Northern Qi didn't even bother to take a second look at that place.
"Three cities."
Gu Qiancheng smiled lightly, "Thank you for your trust." And thank you for not asking further questions.
"The Ji family is not in the medicinal material business." Even if Zino comes into contact with medicinal materials, he should not come into contact with medicinal herbs.
"I don't think he is the son of a businessman." Gu Qiancheng frowned, hesitating whether to reveal his findings.
Although it was an accident to be rude in front of the King of Qin, it was true that he deliberately put on a white cloak in order to attract people's attention and seize the initiative. Unfortunately, the effect was not great.
He did not shy away from Feng Yuqian like he did when facing Feng Yuqian, but looked directly at him openly, which made Ji Nuo feel embarrassed. He smiled lightly and turned around to leave.
Still feeling safe in my arms.
Thinking of this, Zino couldn't help but smile bitterly: Sure enough, the emperor's grandson of Great Qin was the most difficult to conquer. It would be difficult to gain his trust.
Unruly and willful women are favored by men.
"What do you think?" As soon as Zino left, Qin Jiyan no longer had any scruples and stretched out his arms to take Gu Qiancheng into his arms.
"Of course it's Zino. The King trusts you about the cities." Even if there were no records in "Yi Guo Zhi", the three cities chosen by Gu Qiancheng were still excellent.
His Highness Qin did not accept Zino's "kindness" at all, and after the business was settled, Qin Jiyan did not want to talk to Zino any more, so he saw off the guests without being polite. Although his words were tactful, it could not change Qin Jiyan's farewell. fact.
The Emperor of Northern Qi nodded: "The struggle of the Qin Dynasty is indeed ferocious. It is normal for the King of Qin to take actions in private. Several cities in the desert have been deserted and unattended. Even if they are given to the King of Qin, they will be nothing. Those few cities alone cannot restore the city. thing."
"I said... Zino is very treacherous." Of course Gu Qiancheng would not repeat it again. If she could repeat it, she would say it loudly.
"Your Majesty, please sit down if you are weak." With a reproachful look on his face, Zino helped the Emperor of Northern Qi sit down. He did not show off and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, King Qin is a straightforward man and very righteous. He not only supports you, Your Majesty, but also I want you to give him a list of officials who are willing to help the Emperor deal with the Queen Mother's faction, and he will handle it."
"The Emperor of Qin is old, but he has yet to establish a prince. His Highness Qin may be thinking about himself." Zino was just guessing, but this guess was in line with the Northern Qi Emperor's wishes.
To Northern Qi and Da Qin, the city in the desert was of no value, but to him it was a treasure, even if the transportation there was extremely inconvenient.
It’s not okay that she was wrong!
I used it twice in total. The first time I was directly discovered by Qin Jiyan, and this time the secret was almost exposed.
The Emperor of Northern Qi stayed up all night, craning his neck in anticipation of Zino's return. When he saw Zino walking in, the Emperor of Northern Qi got out of bed to welcome Zino regardless of his physical weakness.
Zino patted the emperor's back comfortingly and explained patiently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The King of Qin understands the righteousness well. What he wants is the far north, the three deserted cities in the desert, and he wants it personally and has nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty. , The emperor dare not tell the world." If the world doesn't know, they won't call the emperor a fool.
In the desert, it is inconvenient to travel, and the place is useless. If you exchange three deserted cities for the imperial power, this deal is a good deal, but...
"It was Ji who was abrupt and disturbed His Highness." Ji Nuo did not expect that Qin Jiyan valued Gu Qiancheng so much that he would not forget to take a look at her before leaving, and Gu Qiancheng...
"Oh..." She already knew that none of these powerful guys were easy to mess with, so she had better be cautious.
Of course, when Zino entered the palace, he did not wear that flirtatious white cloak, only the low-key gray clothes underneath.
"How can a son of a businessman be a pure and kind person who can walk between Princess Xihu and the Emperor of Northern Qi?" No matter how clean his smile was or how sincere his words were, Qin Jiyan would not let go of his guard against him.
"That was an accident..." Gu Qiancheng did not expect that the regent of Northern Qi would be so vigilant. It seems that she will have to use less mental cues in the future.
"What did you find?" Qin Jiyan's eyes changed slightly and he became serious. Gu Qiancheng knew that she couldn't do anything unless she said it. "I found that there was a medicinal smell on Zino's body. It was very light... but it was really there, and it was not from the patient. The medicine on my body is the smell of medicine, like the smell of herbs before they are cooked."
"Fool, if I don't believe you, who else can I trust?" He believed in Gu Qiancheng and would rather risk being deceived by Gu Qiancheng than doubt him.
"Are you telling the truth?" The Emperor of Northern Qi was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that things would go so smoothly, but he was not a fool and he quickly reacted.
Of course, the eldest young master Ji would not forget to take off his cloak before leaving.
"I don't know, that's why I thought he was strange. When I just passed by him, I looked at his hands. His fingers were much yellower than the skin on his face, as if he had been immersed in medicinal materials for many years. Some hands. Also, have you noticed his steps? The distance he takes every step is the same, as if he has been specially trained." Gu Qiancheng became more energetic as he spoke, sweeping away the tiredness just now.
"Did you do something to him?" Qin Jiyan didn't believe the regent's lies.
His life was saved by Zino. If he couldn't trust Zino, he didn't know who else he could trust.
Does Gu Qiancheng look familiar
After Zino left the inn, he changed to a carriage on the way and made sure no one was following him. Then he quietly returned to the palace to see the emperor.
"What? You want me to cede the country? This is absolutely impossible." If word spreads, he will not become a foolish king.
People are greedy. Thinking of six cities in the desert, the Northern Qi Emperor came up with the idea of building three more cities...
Zino, dressed in snow-white, slowly walked into the night...
