Zi'an said, "No, it's not about this. I want to ask you, who was the person that Da Zhou and Cao Hou were in contact with? Was it Concubine Yi?"
Qin Zhou said: "Since you know, why ask?"
"I just want to confirm it!" Zi'an cursed in his heart, it really was that bitch.
Qin Zhou glanced at her and saw a hint of anger in her eyes, but she was holding it in. She didn't have the heart to gossip, but she couldn't help asking, "Does this Imperial Concubine Yi have a grudge against you?"
Zi'an glanced at her, somewhat surprised that she asked this.
Does her asking this mean that she has complete trust in me? Otherwise, she wouldn't have said she had a grudge against me.
Zi'an didn't want to tell her about Da Zhou's family affairs, so he just said calmly: "People with talent will most likely arouse jealousy."
Qin Zhou laughed, first just a chuckle, then burst into laughter, his laughter was very hearty and clear.
Zian was puzzled by her laughter, "Okay, what are you laughing at?"
Qin Zhou finally stopped laughing, "I didn't know you were such a proud person."
Zi'an frowned. Saying that he had talent was just a perfunctory remark. He didn't want to answer her question. Couldn't she hear that
This Qin Zhou is also silly.
Zi'an suddenly discovered a pattern, that is, the more capable a person is, the more stupid and stubborn they are in their daily life or in dealing with others.
However, Qin Zhou used to have a stern face, looking very serious and stern, but suddenly he saw her smiling with bright eyes and eyebrows. This smile, combined with the green silk gown with wide sleeves that she was wearing today, actually made people feel that she had a bit of the aristocratic aura of young people in bright clothes and vigorous horses.
Well, she felt that there was something wrong with her adjective, but it was this contradictory visual effect that made her feel that Qin Zhou was a little different, different from the past.
Qin Zhou was originally smiling, but suddenly he saw her stop and stare at him, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
She dismounted, walked to a tree, sat down, and took out some dry food.
Zi'an also dismounted, walked over to her and sat down. He suddenly put his arm around her shoulders and said in a familiar voice, "General, do you have a crush on someone?"
Qin Zhou is attractive, and Rouyao's words once again echo in her mind. The first time Zi'an used diplomatic means against his love rival was to spy on the enemy.
Qin Zhou's expression suddenly changed. He pried open Zi'an's wrist with one hand, twisted it hard, and said ferociously: "Let me go. What do you want to say?"
Zi'an was frightened by her action and broke free from her hand. "Isn't it just a chat? Do you have to react so strongly? If not, then not."
Qin Zhou said viciously: "Do you also think that as a woman, I should get married? If I don't get married, I'm a monster?"
Zi'an rubbed his wrist, "Has anyone ever said that to you? Don't take it personally, I didn't mean that."
This woman has such a big psychological trauma, I'm afraid she has been talked about all the time, right
Qin Zhou pursed his lips, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and he did not eat the dry food. He said coldly: "Hurry up!"
After saying that, he turned over and mounted the horse.
Zian muttered, "Psycho!"
Two riders on fast horses came down the mountain one after the other, their cloaks fluttering. Some birds were startled in the forest, but the silence in the mountain seemed even more incomparable.
Even though he knew how big the Beast Garden was from the topographic map, Zi'an was still shocked when the two men tied up their horses and sneaked into the garden.
They were at the west gate of the Beast Garden, with two solid walls on both sides. However, the walls were so majestic, what would happen once they entered
Qin Zhou flew up with her and landed on the glazed tile roof. The moonlight was very bright. Looking far away, one could see layer upon layer of glazed mandarin duck tiles, faintly visible vermilion lacquered red windows, and red pillars rising from the ground. Not to mention the palaces in the garden, even the courtyards within sight were filled with countless rare and precious flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted over. Taking a deep breath made one feel relaxed and happy.
"It's the people's hard-earned money!" Zi'an couldn't help but say in shock.
"You don't know how to do Qinggong. Wait for me here. I will go to check out the patrol and guard duties first." Qin Zhou had just brought her up and knew that she didn't know how to do Qinggong. If he followed her, he wouldn't be able to walk lightly. The guards here are all masters of the palace. If they are not careful, they will be discovered.
Zi'an sat on the roof, "Okay, I'll wait for you here, be careful."
Qin Zhou hummed, leaped up like a flying swallow, landed in another palace, and then leaped away like a dragonfly skimming the water. In a moment, he disappeared.
The huge menagerie did not seem dark at night, because there were sheep-horn lanterns hanging in the courtyard and in front of the palace corridors. Although the light was not very bright, everyone could take in everything. And under the soft light of the lanterns, everything seemed so quiet, beautiful, and the majestic momentum was shrouded in a layer of soft light.
Zi'an had been in charge of the accounts in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and knew that the expenses were quite high. She couldn't help but sigh and thought, it would be great if this money could be used on the victims of the disaster.
There were guards patrolling over, Zi'an leaned down and saw twelve guards patrolling past, holding torches in their hands and swords on their waists. While patrolling, they held a torch in one hand and pressed the other hand on the sword at their waist, looking very alert.
The twelve torches suddenly lit up the yard, and the carved dragons and phoenixes on the columns in front of the corridor next to the yard were extremely clear.
Although there were more than a dozen of these guards, their footsteps were very light, which showed that they were indeed masters of the internal martial arts.
Less than a quarter of an hour after this group of people left, another group of patrollers came over. Zi'an took a closer look and found that it was the same twelve people.
It seems that these dozen people are only responsible for patrolling here. This is not an important palace, and the treasure warehouses are not here, but the patrols are still so tight. I'm afraid other places will be even tighter.
Zi'an was worried that Qin Zhou would be discovered, but seeing how well she had performed in martial arts just now and how alert she was, she should be able to handle it.
After about half an hour, Zi'an saw a black dot jumping in the distance. The black dot was getting closer and closer. Looking carefully, it was Qin Zhou.
When Qin Zhou landed on the roof, his entire abdomen was pressed against the roof without making any sound.
Qin Zhou had just returned when the patrol team arrived again.
The two of them remained silent, holding their breath. After the patrol team passed by, Qin Zhou said, "Let's go to the medicine store."
Qin Zhou grabbed her wrist, and with a burst of energy, the two of them flew up like rocs. Although Zi'an didn't know how to do Qinggong, she taught him very well. Zi'an only needed to control the moment he landed on the ground and be as gentle as possible.
There were only a few people patrolling at the medicine storehouse. Two of them hid behind a big tree and waited for the patrolmen to pass before they quickly jumped over.
Qin Zhou stood guard at the door and said in a low voice, "Go in quickly. I will be watching here."
Zi'an looked back and saw that she was hiding behind a column, which happened to be a blind spot for the patrol, so he said, "Okay."
She took out a dagger, pulled the door lock, and it opened with a click.
Qin Zhou glanced at her and thought: She really knows some sneaky tricks.
