Not long after the clever carrier pigeon sent the letter down the mountain, Qin Zhou arrived.
Who is Qin Zhou? He is a great general of our dynasty and is very popular among the people.
Few people had seen her, but the soldiers in the mountains recognized her immediately.
When the people heard that Qin Zhou was coming, they all came over and knelt down.
Because some people in Muzhai were married to the third branch of the Qin family, Qin Zhou was a legendary figure in Muzhai. Everyone respected her more than the current emperor.
Qin Zhou was riding on a horse, wearing a black satin dress, her hair tied up in a crown, her face the color of honey, her eyebrows thick and dark, and her eyes sharp. At first glance, one would have the illusion that she was a man.
She looked down at the group of kneeling people, looked at the collapsed houses behind them, and said slowly: "Get up, everyone get up!"
The people stood up, gathered around, and followed closely, "It's great that the general is back."
Qin Zhou looked around and didn't see Xia Zian, so he asked the soldier, "Where is Xia Zian?"
The soldier replied respectfully: "In reply to the general, the princess is in the room. I will go and call her."
Qin Zhou curled his lips and sneered, "No, she is the regent princess of the Great Zhou, and I will go to see her in person."
These words are indescribably chilling.
Zi'an and Rouyao were in the room. After Lingli left, they continued to read books.
Now no one knows where old Prince An Ran has gone. They can only rely on themselves and must develop a prescription as soon as possible.
Hearing the noise outside, Rouyao went out to see what was going on, then came back with a pale face and said, "Zi'an, Qin Zhou is here!"
Zi'an slammed the book on the table, raised his head, and his eyes were sharp.
Qin Zhou came to Muzhai just after returning to the court. What is his purpose
"How many people did she bring?" Zi'an walked out and asked.
"Look, it seems she is the only one walking towards us!" said Rouyao.
Zi'an looked over and saw Qin Zhou riding on a white horse. He was wearing black clothes and a black cape. He looked very capable, about 28 or 29 years old, without any makeup on his face. He gave Zi'an the impression of being heroic and tough.
There was no trace of his daughter anywhere on his body.
A girl with masculine appearance is destined to have an extraordinary life.
Zi'an didn't know anything about physiognomy, but this sentence popped into his mind.
This is Qin Zhou, the famous general of Beimo.
Zi'an's expression gradually grew cold, because a hint of murderous intent clearly flashed in Qin Zhou's eyes.
Zi'an was a military doctor in her previous life. She has experienced many fights and traps in this life, and she is very sensitive to murderous intent.
Qin Zhou saw Zi'an from a distance. Her lips slowly rose, but the curve seemed cold.
The people followed behind her as she rode her white horse slowly. Even in this wooden village, she did not lose the character of a famous general at all. She seemed to be leading thousands of troops and walking towards Zi'an.
The horse stopped about ten steps away from Zi'an. She looked at Zi'an with a penetrating gaze, sizing him up and down, left and right, as if she wanted to see through him.
The village chief stepped forward with a smile, "Princess, this is General Qin from Beimo!"
Zi'an also curled his lips and smiled, without moving his eyes away, staring directly at Qin Zhou.
"General Qin, I've long heard of your great name!" Zi'an spoke first.
"Qin Zhou greets the princess!" She did not dismount, but leaned forward slightly, still looking disdainful, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, which seemed a bit cynical.
But hidden behind the cynicism is a cold murderous intent.
Zi'an said, "You are polite, General."
Zi'an was neither humble nor arrogant, neither surprised nor afraid, and responded calmly. She knew that Qin Zhou's visit this time was not simple.
Qin Zhou smiled. "The princess has traveled thousands of miles to come to my Northern Desert, working hard day and night to treat the epidemic in Northern Desert. This time when I return to Beijing, I will not see anyone, but I must come to visit the princess first and say thank you in person."
"You're too polite, General!" Zi'an certainly knew what was hidden behind this thank you.
Qin Zhou looked at her, then dismounted and walked to Zi'an, but deliberately looked around, "Didn't they say that there were doctors from the Huimin Bureau here? How come none of them are here? After all, you are the landlord, how can you let the princess do all the work alone? These cowards, I will definitely teach them a lesson."
When the village chief heard what Qin Zhou said, he quickly reported: "To reply to the general, those doctors have been doing nothing since they came to Muzhai. They even framed the princess that day. Now, they have been arrested by Lord Su and detained in the house."
"Really?" Qin Zhou smiled coldly and looked at the village chief. "What did the doctor from Huimin Office accuse the princess of? Tell me."
The village chief had already noticed something was wrong, because Qin Zhou's face had a cold look.
However, he had to continue talking, so he said, "It's like this. The doctors falsely accused the princess of having bad intentions and exaggerating her condition. They also said that the princess hired someone to beat them up. This is really ridiculous."
Qin Zhou stared at Zi'an, "That's really ridiculous."
She walked over step by step, "Princess, would you like me to come in and sit for a while?"
"The epidemic area is full of viruses. General, please go back." Zi'an said.
"Now that I'm here, what's the big deal? If I don't die on the battlefield, it's my fate if I die from the plague." After saying that, she walked straight in. Although she met Rouyao, she didn't even look at her.
However, even so, Rouyao was frightened by the grim look on her face. She had seen many capable women in her life, but Qin Zhou's aura was different from others. Even her eyes seemed to carry the power of war.
Zi'an followed him in and said softly to Rouyao, "Stand here."
Rouyao nodded, "Be careful."
"Yeah!" Zi'an went in and closed the door.
Qin Zhou raised her cloak and sat down. When Zi'an saw her action, he had a momentary illusion that the person in front of him was a handsome and elegant man.
But, she is clearly a woman.
"Sit down!" Qin Zhou said to Zi'an with a stern look, pointing at the stool.
Clearly, she was a guest, but once she entered the house, she acted like the host.
Zi'an sat down and looked at her. "The general just returned to Beijing and came to Muzhai to find me. What's the matter?"
Qin Zhou was a military commander and a straightforward person. She did not beat around the bush. "What is your purpose in coming to Beimo?"
"Purpose?" Zi'an laughed sarcastically, "Didn't you and Prince Qi ask me to come? You sent a letter to the Emperor of Great Zhou to invite me here. What is your purpose in asking me to come? That is the purpose for which I am here."
"We invited you here to treat the plague, but you've been here for so long, is it effective?" Qin Zhou said sternly.
"Watch your attitude!" Zi'an's face turned cold. "Remember, I am not your slave, not your servant. I am here only for the sake of a truce. Otherwise, what does your Beimo's affairs have to do with me? I have given up my peaceful and comfortable life to deal with the god of death every day. What do you think I am doing this for?"
"I trusted Murong Jie wrongly." Qin Zhou said coldly.
