Chapter 209 The Second Princess of Shuofeng

After dinner, Qin Zhaoyue rarely refrained from drinking and having fun.

Song and dance performances and the like are just so-so if you watch them every day.

Besides, the weather has been too hot recently and I sweat all the time, so it’s not suitable to go out and have fun.

She was too lazy to bother and felt most comfortable staying at home.

I took a nice bath, lay down and drank a glass of iced green tea, which was refreshing.

Yinzhe emerged silently, "Your Highness really doesn't practice at all."

If other people obtained the skills of the Divine Martial Realm, they would want to put aside all worldly affairs and devote themselves to studying and practicing.

But what about her?

Since arriving in Beijing, he hasn't even used his true energy, and no one knows where his martial arts skills came from.

Even if you are gifted, you can't just rely on empty dreams.

Qin Zhaoyue was now used to the other party's elusiveness, and he lay on the couch without moving.

She had originally planned to upgrade to the third rank after accumulating enough merit points, but now it was impossible for her to do so.

Firstly, Yin Zhe is by my side, so I am safe;

Secondly, if I upgrade to the fourth rank now, not everyone will be able to see it.

But it’s not that I do nothing. I review the skills every day to make sure I don’t forget them.

"I have Sui Mo and the others, so why would I bother practicing?"

Yinzhe sighed inwardly.

He did not want to participate in government affairs, did not win over officials and dignitaries, was not interested in martial arts training, and only wanted to make money.

The key is to look at her income in the past few days since she returned to Beijing. The speed at which she makes money is terrifying.

I'm afraid that the task His Majesty has assigned me can only be rewarded with huge profits, but the time is not right yet.

Yinzhe stopped talking and disappeared without a trace. Qin Zhaoyue ignored him.

Xuanwu North Road, Anbei County.

Qin Zhaoqiong's team had just arrived ten miles outside the county town.

Each imperial guard rode two horses and brought their own dry food. Apart from drinking water, they passed through the prefecture and county towns without entering them, marching at a completely forced pace.

According to the plan, we will reach the border in two days.

The journey was just halfway through, and I could clearly feel the night wind was a little chilly, much cooler than Fengjing.

After a short rest, Qin Zhaoqiong planned to march further at night.

Not long after, the team that replenished fresh water returned and brought back a message: the envoys from the Shuofeng Dynasty were in Anbei County.

Qin Zhaoqiong thought about it for a moment and gave up his plan to march.

The entire army set out and headed straight for the county town.

The ten-mile distance was reached in a flash, and there was no time to notify the county magistrate.

When the scouts went to fetch water, they had already dealt with the captain of the city gate, but they did not expect that he would come back with a thousand cavalrymen.

"Notify the county magistrate and arrange overnight accommodation for my men."

He also ordered his deputy general: "Do not disturb the people, do not drink, set out at dawn tomorrow, and do not enter the city again until you reach the border."

"yes!"

Qin Zhaoqiong and his second brother were both military supervisors, and both had a thousand imperial guards as guards, but there were still differences between them.

Although Meng Jian did not accompany them, he made some arrangements. Those who accompanied Qin Zhaoqiong on this trip were all his old colleagues who had worked in the disaster relief department.

The deputy general understood that His Highness was going to meet with the Shuofeng envoys, and tonight was their last moment of relaxation before the imperial guards entered the camp.

Although you can't drink alcohol, it's good to have a good meal and a good sleep.

Qin Zhaoqiong asked the gatekeeper to lead the way and led twenty riders away.

In less than half a cup of tea, they arrived at an inn.

"Stop, who are you?"

The entire inn was booked, and Qin Zhaoqiong had a rough idea of ​​it.

The visible and hidden sentries are arranged reasonably, and the soldiers on duty are in good condition.

After revealing his identity and saluting, the guard did not let him go but sent someone to report.

Qin Zhaoqiong couldn't help but nodded. It was a good thing to be cautious when monitoring delegations from other countries.

Soon, a figure like a black iron tower came quickly.

He was only about five feet tall, but his muscles were so tangled that they looked like they could burst through chain mail.

His face was broad like a green rock, with two broken eyebrows slanting into his temples, a neck as thick as an ancient pine tree, and the joints of his ten fingers protruding like caltrops.

Inside the seemingly clumsy body, there is clearly a ferocious power capable of tearing tigers and leopards apart.

He came closer, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness."

"Captain Li."

After Qin Zhaoqiong came of age, she went to the northern border for training. The person in front of her was also an acquaintance, Li E, the commander of the Xuanwu Army.

"Your Highness, please."

This place is far away from the county center, but relatively close to the city gate.

Since they were an envoy from an enemy country, they naturally received no courtesy.

If the post station did not frequently exchange military intelligence, the escort team would not have chosen to enter the county town.

Li E was born strong and gave the first impression of being a strong and brute man, but he was actually very meticulous.

This is not a job that will make you look good, but rather it is your responsibility if any accidents occur.

Sending him here shows his ability, but his appearance can easily mislead others.

The inn was emptied and guarded by guards and secret sentries around it, isolating it from all contact with the outside world.

According to Li E, this was the case all the way until he arrived in Fengjing City.

"Captain Li has made good arrangements. Thank you for your hard work."

"Your Highness, thank you for your compliment."

The inn has a simple structure, with a large bunk bed in the front, a hall in the middle for eating and drinking, and single rooms in the yard at the back.

The security around the backyard was particularly tight, which was expected. Li E led them straight to a house and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened and a middle-aged nanny came in.

When she suddenly visited him at night, there was no panic on her face, and her eyes were as calm as water.

"Captain Li, who is this?"

"Her Royal Highness, the Grand Princess of this dynasty."

Qin Zhaoqiong made it clear that she did not need guards, and Li E did not insist. After closing the door, he personally stood guard at the door with a sword.

There were three people in the room, and Qin Zhaoqiong's first glance fell on the woman sitting in front of the desk.
