Qin Zhen boasted so blindly that the two parties involved almost buried their heads in the ground.
Xiao Chengye was amused by Qin Zhen's words. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Zhen's move. On the contrary, he found it quite interesting.
Who else among the civil and military officials in this dynasty can be like Qin Zhen, who has no scruples in front of her?
But Qin Zhen just dared.
This girl seemed to be extra courageous from the first time she saw her.
Xiao Chengye turned his head and looked at the two people who were about to bury their heads on the ground, and asked with a half-smile: "Is that so?"
Hu Yafei twitched the corner of her mouth, gritted her teeth for the last time, and said: "Although my daughter is not as brave as the prince, she can fight hard against others."
Zhao Qing also said: "Commander Qin taught me a lot of skills. I am willing to do the same as Commander Qin and work hard for Your Majesty."
The smile on Xiao Chengye's face dropped a little, and his eyes became a little serious.
He looked at Hu Yafei intently: "Why are you standing here today? The King of Southern Xinjiang is your father."
"But, there is more than just my father in Southern Xinjiang." Hu Yafei raised her head, looked at Xiao Chengye intently, and said word by word, "I also have a mother and concubine who loves me, and many brothers and sisters."
"Compared to a father who treats me as a pawn and can be discarded at will, my mother, concubines, brothers and sisters are my real family."
Hu Yafei knelt straight on the ground in a surrendering posture: "I shamelessly came here today for one thing only."
"I am willing to serve your majesty and recover southern Xinjiang for your majesty, so that there will be no more troubles in southern Xinjiang." Hu Yafei said word by word, "I only ask that your majesty spare the lives of my mother, concubine, and brothers and sisters. I swear with my life,
I will be loyal to the imperial court in this life, and as long as I am here, Southern Xinjiang will never betray you."
Xiao Chengye's eyes flashed and he turned to look at Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen looked innocent and smiled at Xiao Chengye.
Zhao Qing also knelt beside his wife at this time, and said in a deep voice: "I was born in Longhu Mountain, and Commander Qin taught me. In this life, I cannot fulfill my filial piety, but I am willing to swear with my life that I will be loyal and never give up.
Don’t let Commander Qin down.”
His meaning is very obvious, he is going to Southern Xinjiang to guard Hu Yafei and Southern Xinjiang.
Xiao Chengye's thoughts moved slightly, but he had not yet made a final decision.
Xiao Jue's face next to him turned blue and white. He never expected that Qin Zhen would turn Hu Yafei inside out.
Xiao Jue was unwilling to give in.
He took two steps forward and said loudly: "Father, this is inappropriate."
"Mrs. Zhao is the former princess of Southern Xinjiang, and the King of Southern Xinjiang is her biological father. It is inevitable that a father and daughter will become soft-hearted when fighting on the battlefield." Xiao Jue said in a deep voice, "What's more, she is still a woman."
Hu Yafei suddenly turned to look at Xiao Jue: "The eldest prince looks down on women?"
She stood up, pointed at Yuan Xu behind Xiao Jue, and said a little arrogantly: "Then you might as well ask Mr. Yuan, the young master you recommended, to come and compete with me to see if I, a woman, can do it."
Zhao Qing also stood up: "I also want to ask Mr. Yuan for advice."
Xiao Jue's face turned green and white, and finally he said solemnly: "This is not a martial arts competition in the ring. It's not just whoever is good at martial arts can win."
Hu Yafei sneered: "Has the eldest prince ever been on the battlefield? On the battlefield, what do you see if you don't see martial arts? Could it be that you can win a thousand miles with just a book?"
Xiao Jue: "You..."
Hu Yafei raised her eyes: "What do I do?"
Xiao Jue gritted his teeth and turned to look at Xiao Chengye: "Father, this is absolutely not possible."
Qin Zhen, who was noisy here and made things into a mess, closed her mouth at this moment, lowered her head and played with her fingers, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Chengye looked at the people on both sides with a sullen face, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"Okay," Xiao Chengye said coldly, "Everyone go back and I'll think about it again."
Xiao Jue: "Father!"
"Go back!" Xiao Chengye said in a deep voice, "I know that the war in southern Xinjiang is urgent and I will make a decision tomorrow."
Xiao Jue moved his lips, not daring to say anything, and turned around and left the Qinzheng Hall with Yuan Xu.
Before leaving, he gave Qin Zhen a fierce look.
Qin Zhen didn't seem to feel it, sitting there leisurely.
After the others left, Qin Zhen also stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Xiao Chengye glanced at her, a little annoyed: "You made things into a mess, but in the end you were just like a normal person. You just left me and left?"
Qin Zhen paused, then said: "Father, I don't know a few Chinese characters, how can I help you?"
Xiao Chengye: "Tell me, among them, which one is suitable to go to southern Xinjiang?"
Qin Zhen paused, then said helplessly: "I think everything is fine."
Xiao Chengye: "Everything is good?"
"Young Master Yuan is smart, Hu Yafei knows southern Xinjiang well but is very skilled in martial arts. Needless to say, Zhao Qing will be a fierce general on the battlefield. So, all three of them are pretty good."
After Qin Zhen finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Chengye carefully: "Father, am I right?"
Xiao Chengye said angrily: "That's right, but it's the same as not saying it."
Qin Zhen: "...I answered everything honestly. There is nothing I can do if my father is not satisfied."
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Qin Zhen blinked and suddenly said: "How about we all go?"
Xiao Chengye: "...what?"
"Let's all go," Qin Zhen said with a nonchalant look, "If the three of us go together, maybe we can take care of each other on the battlefield."
Xiao Chengye's eyes lit up, he looked at Qin Zhen intently, and finally laughed suddenly: "You girl... Okay, okay, go back to raise your baby. Don't worry about things in southern Xinjiang. I don't want to be old."
Three grudges.”
Qin Zhen smiled and left from Qinzheng Hall.
Outside, Zhao Qing and Hu Yafei were still waiting for Qin Zhen. When they saw her coming out, they hurriedly greeted her.
"How's it going?" Hu Yafei asked impatiently, "Can it be done?"
She came to the emperor to make a fuss today, and she was already willing to do anything. If she still doesn't succeed, it will be difficult for her to be a good person in the future.
Qin Zhen rubbed her brows tiredly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it will be done."
"It's just that, according to the level of paranoia our Majesty has, he will definitely not trust you, a former Southern Xinjiang princess, to hand over military power." Qin Zhen looked at Hu Yafei and said slowly, "If you do a good job, Yuan Xu may follow you.
Prepare to go together."
In fact, Qin Zhen knew that Yuan Xu would definitely go.
Hu Yafei suddenly frowned and said coldly: "That Yuan Xu is Xiao Jue's man. As long as he is here, I am helpless. On the battlefield, people like him who have unclear positions are the most taboo. If he stabs him in the back, it will really happen."
It’s impossible to guard against it.”
Qin Zhen laughed, her smile a little cold.
"If he wants to go, then let him go." Qin Zhen said calmly, "When we leave the capital, won't you be able to deal with Yuan Xu? If that's the case... little princess, I will look down on you.
