From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 217

Princess Qinshui was getting more and more annoyed the more she thought about it, but she also wanted to know how this person came to the capital.

So she couldn't help but ask: "You only said that he became an official, but you didn't say when you reconciled!"

Zhao Jianjia smiled and said: "At that time, Lin'an Prefecture was in a big mess. My mother said that as a wife, I should go to help, because my husband had already written a letter back, saying that he was determined to live and die with Lin'an Prefecture."

Princess Qinshui couldn't help but admire that Zhou Yuan was not bad. He was both civil and military and a loyal minister. He actually defended Lin'an Prefecture to the death in that situation.

Zhao Jianjia said: "So I rushed to Lin'an overnight and met my husband. Only then did I know that even the Qianhu Lord and the Zhuang Sizhu were under my husband's command."

"I was curious, so I asked Sister Qu Ling quietly, and she told me that the plan to defend Lin'an Prefecture was made by my husband."

"He made many plans and took the lead in grabbing the King of Chu. Anyway, I didn't understand those plans. He seemed very powerful and turned the tide and took back Lin'an Prefecture."

"He also used scholars and Confucian scholars to make the rebels lose their foundation. Later, the imperial edict arrived."

"During that time, I experienced a lot of things, and I gradually understood the difficulties of my husband, so... so..."

Zhao Jianjia lowered her head, her face flushed, and whispered: "So I like my husband."

Princess Qinshui took a deep breath and said in shock : "During that time, the majesty was in a state of anxiety all day long. I went to the palace to accompany her. Until that day, the majesty told me that Lin'an Prefecture had been recovered, and she was very happy."

"It turns out that all this is Zhou Yuan's credit. Logically speaking, even if he is not given a title, he should be a high-ranking official!"

Zhao Jianjia smiled and said, "My husband is too young!"

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Before going to bed, my husband would tell me about those things. He said that he didn't care much about the size of the official position. What he wanted to do was to save the Great Jin Dynasty and make the world peaceful and prosperous."

"Because then, he can stay with me forever."

"My husband said that if the country is not at peace, the people will not be at peace, and there will be no happiness anyway."

Speaking of this, the smile and admiration on Zhao Jianjia's face almost drove Princess Qinshui crazy.

Why! Why did Zhou Yuan say such big words! The world is peaceful and peaceful, bah!

How can it be that easy? The world has been rotten for decades. The emperor can't do anything about it, so what can he do?

"But I hope my husband won't be an official anymore."

Zhao Jianjia's voice was obviously a little worried.

Princess Qinshui said, "Why?"

"It's too dangerous."

Zhao Jianjia sighed, "Sister Qinshui, you don't know that my husband has been assassinated many times. The last time was the worst. He was stabbed eleven times and almost lost his life."

"What!"

Princess Qinshui was shocked. He could survive with eleven stabs. This guy is so lucky!

Oh yes, the last time the emperor was furious, it seemed that it was because the court official was assassinated.

Princess Qinshui was thinking, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Your Highness! There are dozens of men in black coming towards us, all riding horses and carrying swords!"

As soon as these words came out, the guards around couldn't help but stand up.

The personal female guard exclaimed: "Not good! It must be a killer! Your Highness, retreat quickly!"

"Killer? Ha!"

Princess Qinshui laughed disdainfully: "After the last time the emperor sister took action to clean up, there are no masters in Shenjing. There are only a few dozen small fish. What should I be afraid of!"

She looked at Zhao Jianjia and smiled: "Don't be afraid, sister Jianjia, they are just villains. I never take them seriously. Sister will let you know my ability this time. I will let them...ah!"

She suddenly stopped and looked at the dantian in disbelief.

A dagger was deeply inserted, and blood flowed, staining her clothes red.

"Ah!"

Zhao Jianjia screamed, her face pale.

Princess Qinshui looked at her personal guard and gritted her teeth and said, "You! You have been with me for nine years! How could you!"

The personal guard gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, you are too naive. Nine years of dormancy is nothing. There are decades of dormancy!"

She pulled out the dagger and stabbed it directly at Princess Qinshui's throat!

Princess Qinshui's internal force surged, but she was repelled, but she also leaned against the tree in pain, her face twisted.

"Xiaoying! Xiaoying!"

Zhao Jianjia couldn't help shouting, she was also panicked, who could have thought that such a thing would happen!

"She...she's not here..."

Princess Qinshui said with difficulty: "She is in another carriage, and I took her around. She is still at the foot of the mountain now."

Zhao Jianjia was really confused this time, and hurriedly said: "Princess sister, Xiaoying is a master, how could you..."

Princess Qinshui also regretted it now. She covered her stomach and said with sweat on her face: "Jianjia, youGo, I can't hurt you!"

"Come, take Jianjia away!"

A guard shouted, "Come! Help His Highness and Madam Zhou get on the horse and protect them!"

"Others, follow me and get on the horse to stop the assassin!"

The situation was urgent, and they had heard the sound of horse hooves.

So more than a dozen guards hurriedly helped Zhao Jianjia and the other two get on the horse, but at this moment, dozens of men in black were riding horses and killing them.

"Escape to the mountains! Quick! "

While the guard roared, he drew his knife and rushed towards the man in black.

In an instant, people and horses fell to the ground, and the roars were heard. One by one, figures were hacked to death by the random swords and fell down.

Princess Qinshui saw this scene, and her eyes were bloodshot and she let out a loud roar.

Her dantian was pierced, and her internal strength could not be used. At this moment, she had almost no ability to resist, and could only run away with Zhao Jianjia.

"Jianjia! I hurt you!"

Princess Qinshui's eyes were already filled with tears.

Zhao Jianjia finally regained some composure and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, wrap the wound quickly, don't let too much blood flow."

"Let's hold on, Xiaoying will find us soon! ”

Only two guards were left to protect them, heading for the deep mountains, while dozens of assassins were chasing them.

Zhao Jianjia and Princess Qinshui were almost in a desperate situation.

At this moment, in a tent on a slope in Beishan, the middle-aged man had already changed into military uniform.

He strode out, looked at the dozens of guards, and said in a deep voice: "Are you all ready!"

"Ready!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

A guard came over and whispered: "The assassins have dealt with the idlers, and only two people took the injured Princess Qinshui and Madam Zhou to the mountains."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Okay! It's our turn! Let's go! Go into the mountains to hunt!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

However, at this moment, a guard hurried over and shouted: "Not good! Zhou Yuan, the head of the North City Military Department, led more than 20 people and entered the mountains first!"

"What! "

The middle-aged man's face changed, he grabbed the man's collar and glared at him: "What did you say!"

The guard smiled bitterly and said: "Zhou Yuan has already led people into the mountains. They seem to have received the news and have run into the killer. We are too late to save Princess Qinshui!"

"Asshole!"

The middle-aged man slapped the guard away with a palm, and veins on his forehead were exposed.

For this situation, for Princess Qinshui, and to get the support of the royal family, he planned for so long, but he didn't expect to be preempted by others.

It's like raising a son for many years, and suddenly he has to recognize someone else as his father, which is really crazy!

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said: "If we set out now, can we get ahead and rescue Princess Qinshui!"

"Or, whether Zhou Yuan's power is enough to stop the killer, and whether it is still meaningful for us to stand out and help. ”

One person stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the more than 20 people Zhou Yuan brought seem to be good at martial arts. Although they can't wipe out the group of assassins, at least...it's no problem to protect Princess Qinshui."

"Besides, Jinyiwei appeared at the foot of the mountain and are rushing up the mountain."

The middle-aged man, that is, King Jing Chen De, clenched his fists and said coldly, "Jinyiwei? No matter how sharp their noses are, they can't be so sharp!"

He is a smart man and quickly judged the situation.

"It seems that we have been targeted for a long time. Zhou Yuan wants to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind, and intercept the fruits of victory planned by the king in advance."

"This young man who doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth is too smart!"

King Jing gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said coldly, "What the king can't get, no one else can get. At worst, we can start the second plan!"

"Everyone, put on black clothes and go into the mountain to kill people!"

"Except our people, no one will be left on this mountain! "

Many guards shouted in unison: "Yes!"

King Jing looked at the guards and said calmly: "Go tell Prince Xian to prepare to take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now that Qinshui is gone, he can come out of the mountain."

"Yes."

King Jing said again: "Send a few people, take my token and go down the mountain, block the Jinyiwei at the foot of the mountain, and try to delay time."

"Yes!"

A few more people rushed down the mountain.
