After hearing what Zhan Nanxing said, Guo Zhenzhen became interested. She leaned over coquettishly, and her watery eyes seemed to be able to bring souls back.
"If it's this young master, then I can do it."
Guo Zhenzhen said this and smiled with her hands covering her lips.
This smile is full of charm.
Shen Zhaozhao frowned. She always felt that there was something wrong with Guo Zhenzhen.
"Don't worry, Zhaozhao," Zhan Nanxing thought Shen Zhaozhao was upset, "Just go and have a rest."
"No." Shen Zhaozhao sniffed.
Before, the room in the county magistrate's mansion had a strong smell of cosmetics, but she didn't notice it. But now there was no other smell in the guest room of the post station, and the smell of Guo Zhenzhen was very obvious.
"Young master, do you like the smell of my perfume?" Guo Zhenzhen covered her lips and glanced at Zhan Nanxing with a smile.
Zhan Nanxing's face turned cold and he didn't look at her.
Just paying attention to Shen Zhaozhao.
The things Zhao Zhao pays attention to always have a basis.
"I can't explain it for now, I just feel something is wrong," Shen Zhaozhao couldn't think of a solution for a moment, turned around and looked at Zhan Nanxing, "I'll ask."
"A quick fight, a quick decision. I always think it's not good to drag it out."
This time, Shen Zhaozhao did not let Zhan Nanxing interrogate alone. Instead, he directly took out a small medicine box, took out a medicine from it, sucked it with a syringe, and then stabbed it into Guo Zhenzhen's arm.
"What is this?" Guo Zhenzhen then felt a little nervous.
"You don't need to know." This distracting, hallucinogenic potion was not the first time Shen Zhaozhao had used it.
Her interrogation skills weren't very good, but if her skills weren't good enough, she could make up for it with potions.
Shen Zhaozhao counted and when it was almost time, he asked directly, "Did the prince ask you to pick up Zhan Beichen?"
Guo Zhenzhen closed her eyes, obviously the drug was taking effect.
However, Shen Zhaozhao waited for a while, but Guo Zhenzhen didn't say anything.
"answer."
Shen Zhaozhao asked.
"No, you are not His Highness," Guo Zhenzhen shook her head, then pounded her head desperately, as if trying to control herself to resist the effects of the medicine.
Shen Zhaozhao now admired this woman a little.
Only people who have been strictly trained can resist this drug.
Shen Zhaozhao's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Every time he breathed, he could smell the strange scent of powder that Guo Zhenzhen carried on her body.
"Zhao Zhao."
Zhan Nanxing leaned forward and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't panic."
Zhan Nanxing's voice was right beside my ears.
Shen Zhaozhao felt inexplicably at peace, “I have a bad feeling.”
She couldn't say where this feeling came from.
Nine times out of ten, it's related to the smell on Guo Zhenzhen.
"No, I can't answer that. Not your highness. Your highness wouldn't ask me that..." Guo Zhenzhen was still hitting her head, again and again, with all her strength, making a banging sound.
"County Magistrate," Zhan Nanxing said softly, his eyes fixed on Guo Zhenzhen, "your brother Guo Bao just died. He was beheaded."
Guo Zhenzhen stopped pounding her head for a moment, opened her eyes, and looked at Zhan Nanxing blankly.
"impossible!"
"His Highness clearly promised me that as long as I help him, he will ensure that my family will be prosperous and wealthy."
"My brother, Baoer, will be an official!"
Shen Zhaozhao saw that when Guo Bao was mentioned, Guo Zhenzhen's mind became confused, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot.
Be patient and persuasive.
"So, the prince lied to you. I saw with my own eyes that Guo Bao was beheaded by someone with a knife."
"Just tell me whether the prince asked you to pick up Zhan Beichen and where he is taking him, and I will report it to your brother."
Guo Zhenzhen's eyes gradually became blurred.
"Yes, I will send Zhan Beichen to Beijing as soon as I receive him."
"Go on." Zhan Nanxing gently pinched Shen Zhaozhao's lips, signaling her that Guo Zhenzhen's mood was now in turmoil because of Guo Bao.
Now is a good time to ask questions.
Shen Zhaozhao asked hurriedly, "Except for Zhan Beichen, are the old generals of the Zhan family still alive?"
Guo Zhenzhen: "I only know that Zhan Dongyang is alive and in Mobei. Others don't know."
Shen Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhan Nanxing.
Zhan Nanxing held her body tightly, pursed her lips tightly, obviously suppressing her strong emotions.
"That's my brother, Zhaozhao, go on." Zhan Nanxing closed his eyes and concealed all his emotions.
Shen Zhaozhao still heard something strange from his slightly trembling voice.
She didn't delay and continued to ask:
"The Zhan family has been exiled, why is the prince chasing them all the way?"
Under the influence of the drug, Guo Zhenzhen seemed to have lost her soul. She answered all the questions, "Because this is what His Majesty wants... The Zhan family is loyal to His Majesty, not His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't let the Zhan family live, then the Zhan family can't live..."
Shen Zhaozhao stared at Guo Zhenzhen and asked the key question!
She thought, "Was the defeat in the battle that annihilated the Zhan family within your Majesty's expectations? Or was it even arranged by your Majesty?"
Guo Zhenzhen nodded.
Shen Zhaozhao frowned slightly and looked down at his hand, which was held tightly by Zhan Nanxing.
“How about you take it easy first?” Shen Zhaozhao turned around and found that Zhan Nanxing’s face was frighteningly pale.
Zhan Nanxing's peach blossom eyes were now cold, "Who is the person that the Zhan family is loyal to?"
Shen Zhaozhao held his breath.
After so much trouble, they are getting closer to the answer.
The answer that made the Zhan family men uncertain about their life or death was right in front of them.
The Zhan family thought that they were loyal to the emperor, but the emperor did not think so.
So, who is that person?
However, this time the question seemed to be beyond the scope of Guo Zhenzhen's answer. She was confused at first, and then began to hit her head.
"I don't know. Your Highness never said that."
"No, I know, I heard it..."
"yes……"
Just as the answer was about to come out, suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and then a sharp sword shot through the window paper and pierced Guo Zhenzhen's chest.
“Be careful!”
Zhan Nanxing pushed Shen Zhaozhao to the ground, then rolled off the bed and pushed Shen Zhaozhao under the bed.
“Knock knock knock…”
All I could hear were the sounds of sharp arrows falling to the ground or hitting wood.
Like rain.
Shen Zhaozhao quickly propped himself up and saw Guo Zhenzhen who was left outside through the gap in front of Zhan Nanxing.
The expression on that beautiful face was frozen in a mixture of fear and confusion.
The pair of eyes that had just been winking at Zhan Nanxing opened.
She was wearing a silk gauze dress, stained red with blood, and her chest was pierced by several sharp arrows.
Die with eyes open.
Countless arrow feathers were scattered around her.
There are arrows all over the table and cabinet...
It was the first time that Shen Zhaozhao saw what a rain of arrows was.
"Who is it?" A loud shout came from outside.
The rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and various noises such as shouting and the clash of weapons arose.
The door was pushed open and Zhan Ping and his men rushed in.
Shen Zhaozhao sighed and pushed Zhan Nanxing who was standing in front of her, "What a pity, we were just a little bit away from finding out the truth..."
The following words were stuck in Shen Zhaozhao's throat.
She raised her head and looked at the wet red on her body...
