The emperor looked the other person up and down, revealing a knowing smile: "It's you, Qin Zheng."
As the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, Qin Zheng had naturally met the emperor before, but he did not expect the emperor to recognize him so quickly. He pulled off his mask and said, "It's me."
Shi Mingyue heard Qin Zheng approaching, and also heard the noises outside. She knew Qin Zheng was a skilled martial artist, but the emperor's men were no less skilled. The men in black who had kidnapped her last night were among the most skilled. She shouted, "Qin Zheng, leave me alone! Go!"
