After hearing Zhong Qingye's words, Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had long heard that Princess Rui was not simple, but after several encounters, Xing deeply felt that the woman in front of him was definitely more than simple.【】
Or, she should be better described as unfathomable and elusive.
"Since you've said that, I'd better speak openly." Xing frowned.
Zhong Qingye waved his hands casually and continued to lower his head and fight with the rabbit's legs.
"I have seen your methods a long time ago and know that you are different from ordinary women. Then, it is impossible for you not to know that Prince Rui almost turned Northern Qi over in order to find you."
Zhong Qingye didn't even pause his movements. He still had meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "Qi Mo is not that stupid."
Even though Qi Mo was angry at Zhong Qingye's sudden departure, he was not the kind of irrational person. Qi Mu was still watching eagerly from the sidelines. It was impossible for him to drag out all his strength for her and let others notice.
Although he secretly put in a lot of effort, at least on the surface, he had to do it cleanly. If Qi Mu caught the slightest clue, it would not be something that could be solved by peeling off a layer of skin.
Zhong Qingye knows this, and Qi Mo knows it even more.
Xing was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant by what she said. Instead of loosening his eyebrows, they became more and more frowned. He said unwillingly, "What about the recent events?"
"Huh?" Zhong Qingye didn't understand at first.
"Prince Rui suddenly launched an attack on the bandits on Tianshan Mountain. He was commanded on the spot by two of his personal bodyguards, the Five Eagles. The bandits were defeated in just three days, and they entered the bandits' den in four days. In just five days, the bandits have been defeated for twenty consecutive years.
The Tianshan bandits who were not eradicated have since disappeared."
While talking, he carefully observed Zhong Qingye's face, trying to get some unknown information from the changes in her expression. Unfortunately, Zhong Qingye's expression seemed to be wearing an invulnerable mask.
The mask remained motionless at all, not revealing what she was thinking.
In desperation, he had no choice but to continue: "Prince Rui's Mansion is far away in Jingyang City, far away from Tianshan Town. Prince Rui cannot have any connection with the bandits there. Why did he suddenly act so cruelly and eradicate these twenty people in one fell swoop?"
Where is the bandit den that has been there for many years? Princess, I am stupid and can’t figure out what is going on? I wonder if you can help me clear up my doubts?"
On the surface, Xing's tone was very polite and respectful, but at the end of the conversation, it was inevitable that he felt a bit forced to confess.
After saying these words, Xing stared at Zhong Qingye with both eyes, refusing to let go of any emotion.
No wonder he was so nervous. After all, Qi Mo's abilities were recognized by the world, and he himself had personally understood Zhong Qingye's methods. These things were too strange.
Prince Rui went on a rampage in Northern Qi under the guise of looking for the princess, attracting a lot of attention, but Princess Rui disguised herself as a man and appeared in the territory of Dongshang without anyone noticing.
Although Dongshang was in alliance with Northern Qi, the marriage was not successful. As Yeluxie's personal bodyguard, Xing knew very well that Northern Qi's Emperor Qi Mu, Prince Rui Qi Mo, and Prince Ping Qi Yu were not economical.
In addition, he only received news yesterday that someone suspected of being Prince Ping Qi Yu had entered the territory of Dongshang. With this series of news combined, he had to step up vigilance to prevent these people from causing unpleasant things to Dongshang.
.
Zhong Qingye didn't know Xing Xin's twists and turns, but he heard the question in his tone clearly. After thinking about it for a moment, Zhong Qingye understood most of his uneasiness. He couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
Xing frowned at her smiling face: "Why are you smiling?"
Zhong Qingye laughed so much that he coughed, took a few breaths, and then shook his head and said: "I laugh at you for worrying too much. Even I didn't expect that I would come back to Dongshang this time.
Just came here.”
This explanation was obviously not approved by Xing, and his expression became even more serious.
Zhong Qingye also knew that her explanation sounded very perfunctory, but she couldn't help it, this was indeed her true situation.
Sometimes people are very strange. They don't believe what is obviously the truth. They insist on telling lies before they give up. It's not that Zhong Qingye is not good at making up excuses, but in this situation, she doesn't feel anything at all.
There is no need to lie.
Shaking her head slightly, she continued to nibble on the thinned rabbit leg in her hand, and said casually: "If you don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do about it."
Xing said solemnly: "If you do anything that is not conducive to Dongshang, even if I respect you, I will never compromise."
"I don't feel at all that I need your compromise." Zhong Qingye said in a calm tone, but without any humility: "I am not interested in the messy things between you. If you are really worried, you can justifiably talk about it.
Monitor me..."
At this point, she paused slightly, and then her tone turned into a smile: "As long as... you have the ability."
What Zhong Qingye hates the most is being watched, but if someone just feels uneasy and wants to keep an eye on her, she has no choice. As long as the other party has the ability to keep up with her speed, he can guard her all the time.
, and with the ability to recognize her at a glance in a huge crowd, Zhong Qingye has absolutely no objection.
But she really doubted that in an ancient world without any technology, could anyone really do this?
Xing's eyebrows opened and then tightened. He repeated this several times. He didn't know if he heard Zhong Qingye's true meaning. After a pause, he said: "Young Master will not agree."
Zhong Qingye shrugged: "It's none of my business."
Xing frowned at her and said nothing for a long time.
Under his "hot" gaze, Zhong Qingye was completely unaffected and slowly nibbled off the fat rabbit leg in his hand. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and then wiped his fingers clean.
Finally, he fell back and touched his belly with satisfaction.
Ah, I’m so full...
The grass is green on the cheeks, which makes people feel loving. The sky above is pure and clear unique to May, and the air is scented with flowers, which is a soothing beauty.
Zhong Qingye took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"In that case, just keep an eye on me secretly. Anyway, I will go on the road with you later, so you have plenty of time to observe me."
