Chapter 59 Dongdu Zhenbeihou

Qin Shuangjiang was thinking about it while Qingyuan was tidying up the room. It wasn't until she sorted out all the books on the table and put them back on the bookshelf that she returned to the bedside and said softly: "Madam, sir, you have been tired recently. Take good care of yourself in the house. If you want to go out for a walk, Qingyuan can accompany you."

Hearing her voice, Qin Shuangjiang came back to his senses. He didn't say a word, but his thoughtful eyes fell on her. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and stood up.

Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and at the hottest time of the year, the sun at noon already makes people afraid to go out.

Xu Shi saw that she was really bored staying in the house, so Qingyuan suggested that she go out for a walk. Qin Shuangjiang was not very willing to get up and walk around. After all, for her, as long as she could lie down, she would never sit down. Never stand still.

But he couldn't stand Qingyuan's insistence, so Qin Shuangjiang finally agreed, but it was limited to an appointment at a teahouse.

When she arrived at the tea house's stall, she was asked to put the mountain and river pictures on the balcony. She sat on the balcony and embroidered the pictures. Qingyuan lay on the balcony and watched the people coming and going on the street.

But not long after she settled down, she tentatively asked Qin Shuangjiang: "Madam, do you want to eat the chestnut cakes on the street?"

She sat next to Qin Shuangjiang and stared straight at Qin Shuangjiang with her big, fluttering eyes. Her pure and expectant eyes made people unable to bear to refuse.

The needlework in Qin Shuangjiang's hand paused for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at her. She carefully pulled the corner of Qin Shuangjiang's clothes: "Madam, just say you want to eat."

Qin Shuangjiang looked at her without saying a word. He nodded after a moment. With Qin Shuangjiang's permission, Qingyuan jumped up happily. After all, he was still a child of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was indeed a little playful, but he was not strangeness.

Qin Shuangjiang looked at the room in the teahouse that she had left in a bound. Outside the room were the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion who had come to the teahouse with them.

It wouldn't be important at first, but Yan Xu'an's reputation is so well-known that when others see people from the Prime Minister's Mansion or anything with the Prime Minister's Mansion brand, they will take the initiative to stay away.

After watching Qingyuan's figure leave, Qin Shuangjiang turned around and continued to embroider the mountain and river map in his hand. Suddenly, there was an unusual commotion down the street.

The needlework in Qin Shuangjiang's hand paused, and when he looked up, he saw a group of men and horses coming slowly from not far away. The leader was dressed in silver armor and looked majestic. He had a long sword slung around his waist. He looked majestic. , along the way, people on the street gave way.

However, unlike the people who met Yan Xu'an, the street was no longer silent, but became more and more lively, with cheers getting louder and louder:
"Young master is back!"

"Little Marquis, please try this and this. They are all grown at home."

"I have some here too. These fruits are fresh and still wet with dew. Don't dislike them, little Marquis."

Facing the enthusiasm of the villagers, the deputy general on the side obviously didn't know how to respond. According to the rules, they couldn't collect these things, but he couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm. He turned to look at the man in embarrassment.

The man seemed to be accustomed to this kind of reception. He just turned around and asked someone to collect the things and gave him some silver. When he met someone who was really enthusiastic and refused to accept the money, he raised his voice and said, "I, Zhou Jinlin, am here to protect the family." The country is going to war, but the Marquis of Zhenbei cannot accept everyone's things. It is me, Zhou Jinlin, who accepts these things. Naturally, I have to pay. Please don't refuse anymore."

After what he said, it turned out to be effective. For a time, no one who delivered vegetables or fruits refused to accept the money he asked people to hand him.Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, suddenly a murderous intention flashed through. Not only Zhou Jinlin below, but also Qin Shuangjiang's expression changed, apparently aware of something.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a hidden arrow suddenly shot out from nowhere. Zhou Jinlin turned around, pulled out the long sword he wore on his side, and blocked the speeding hidden arrow.

Seeing this, the crowd around him instantly became restless. Zhou Jinlin did not panic. He steadied his horse and said sternly: "Evacuate the crowd first!"

"Yes!"

The team behind them responded in unison and were well-trained into two teams. One team looked for the assassin in the direction where the hidden arrows were shot, and the other team took care of and evacuated the frightened crowd.

Then a hidden arrow shot out from the same place. This time Zhou Jinlin dodged it easily as always, but without giving him any chance to breathe, another hidden arrow flew from a different place. This time, he had no extra time at all. Dodge.

Seeing that the sharp iron arrow was about to penetrate his chest, Qin Shuang was sitting on the attic. He turned his wrist and threw the flying needle in his hand. There was only a crisp sound of "clang", and the hidden arrow was instantly redirected and firmly fixed. He plunged into a stall nearby.

Zhou Jinlin, who saw the hidden arrow changing direction instantly with his own eyes, had a flash of surprise on his face, but at this time, he had no time to think too much and turned to face the commotion of the crowd.

Not long after, when the crowd was evacuated, the secret assassin was also caught. Looking at the man in black kneeling on the ground, Zhou Jinlin had no intention of interrogating him for the time being. Instead, he glanced at the hidden arrow that pierced the stall, thinking about what he had just done. The scene that happened, looked in the direction from which the flying needle flew.

From his angle, he could just see Qin Shuangjiang sitting in the floor-to-ceiling window with his head bowed embroidering pictures, and the girl from the teahouse just came in to change the cool tea.

Sensing the glances from the people on the street, Qin Shuangjiang raised his eyes slightly and met them with indifferent eyes. He was still straddling the horse, and the long sword in his hand did not even have time to be retracted into its sheath.

The two of them looked at each other from a distance across the guardrail of the tea house. Zhou Jinlin seemed to be very interested in this woman who saved him with a flying needle, but in the end concealed her merit and fame. There was a faint smile in her originally indifferent eyes.

The girl next to her changed the tea and bowed respectfully. Qin Shuangjiang looked away and nodded to her, and the girl left with the changed tea.

When Qin Shuangjiang turned around again, Zhou Jinlin had already dealt with the assassins, but he was still riding alone on his horse, looking back at the floor-to-ceiling window.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't care, it was just something he did casually, and he didn't think about taking credit, so he turned back and lowered his eyes and continued to embroider the picture in his hand.

After a while, Zhou Jinlin seemed to realize that she had no intention of chatting and that he had something else to do, so he had no choice but to pull the reins, turn around and leave with a slight chuckle.

When Qingyuan had enough fun outside and returned to the teahouse to rest for a while, Qin Shuangjiang just packed up the needlework in his hand and got up to go back.

When Qin Shuangjiang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he learned from Zhou Jinsheng that Yan Xu'an had returned from outside and informed Qin Shuangjiang that he would attend the palace banquet the next day.
