Chapter 59 Deployment Map, Give Me
"To cut into a thousand pieces" refers to the practice of executioners making a thousand cuts on a prisoner's body.
They cut off the prisoner's flesh piece by piece, leaving only the skeleton, yet the prisoner was still alive.
Finally, the internal organs were removed, and the bones were broken into powder bit by bit.
Truly reduced to ashes.
When Shen Huan was executed, Zhao Ying'er, dressed in white, placed two memorial tablets directly opposite him.
With each scream, Zhao Ying'er would scatter a handful of paper money.
"Father! Mother! Ying'er has avenged you!"
A rustling sound came from the crowd, and several people walked towards Zhao Ying'er.
They then took out one or two memorial tablets from their bosoms.
Their expressions were grief-stricken.
These are all family members of Shen Huan who have committed evil deeds and caused deaths over the years.
They live in constant pain of losing loved ones.
finally!
The demon is going to die!
Qin Jinzhi sat in the carriage at the corner and lowered the curtain. "Back to the Prince's Mansion."
The paper money floated in the wind on the street.
The Duke's mansion has fallen, but the Shen family still exists. She is very much looking forward to seeing who the next member of the Shen family will be.
Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Xue Huaiyi was already waiting at the entrance.
"Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi glanced at him indifferently. "What is it?"
Xue Huaiyi immediately said, "This matter is of great importance. Please, Princess, come into the residence."
Qin Jinzhi stepped into the Prince's Mansion.
Xue Huaiyi followed behind him with a humble demeanor.
Upon arriving at the study, Xue Huaiyi closed the door and whispered, "I have already obtained clues about the assassin, but since it concerns the Crown Prince, I dare not overstep my bounds."
Qin Jinzhi looked at him with a mocking expression, "Commander Xue, you've really humbled yourself quite a bit."
Xue Huaiyi said with a serious expression, "I was blinded by vanity before and had some improper thoughts. From now on, I will definitely be strict with myself and keep to my duty."
Qin Jinzhi nodded as if in agreement, "What clue are you referring to?"
"I have discovered that the assassin's identity may be the legendary Dragon Feather Guard, which was secretly established by the Crown Prince."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow; Xue Huaiyi was indeed quite capable.
No wonder the old man likes him so much.
Qin Jinzhi whistled, and a dark figure instantly appeared in front of the study door.
Xue Huaiyi sidestepped and shielded Qin Jinzhi behind him.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open with a sound.
Eighteen people stood in neat rows in front of Qin Jinzhi.
"Let me introduce you. This is Commander Xue, who is in charge of the security of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. You will be dealing with him quite often in the future."
"Commander Xue, is this the legendary Dragon Feather Guard you spoke of?"
Xue Huaiyi simply couldn't believe it!
The Dragon Feather Guard actually exists!
Some say that each member of the Dragon Feather Guard can take on a hundred enemies!
There were eighteen people around the study, yet he couldn't sense the presence of any of them.
His martial arts skills are terrifyingly high!
Most importantly, these Dragon Feather Guards looked incredibly young.
Qin Jinzhi walked over to Xue Huaiyi and patted him on the shoulder. "Settle half of them in my yard and the other half in your grandfather's yard. He's getting old and can't dodge some of the underhanded attacks."
Xue Huaiyi immediately replied, "This humble servant obeys."
Qin Jinzhi left the study and returned to her bedroom.
They stopped right at the doorway.
She called out from the doorway, "Yunjin, bring me a cup of peach blossom tea."
Upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's voice, Yun Jin and the other three all rushed over.
Yun Que glanced at Qin Jinzhi and quietly walked to the window.
He pulled an incense stick from his waistband, lit it, and tossed it through the crack in the window.
Qin Jinzhi sat in the courtyard for about fifteen minutes before saying to Yun Que, "Open the door."
The four pushed open the door, tiptoed inside, and began searching the area.
"Princess! He's here!"
Qin Jinzhi walked in and saw Huangfu Nanfeng lying on the ground.
Yun Jin looked like she'd seen a ghost. "That's double the amount of Jade Fragrance Powder! The cage and chains are made of black iron! How did he even get out?!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "He's very capable; he even had someone send over the cages from the backyard."
She sensed something was wrong as soon as she reached the door.
The four members of Yun Que were highly skilled, and it was impossible for them not to notice the assassin.
But if someone wants to escape from this courtyard, that's another story.
When Huangfu Nanfeng woke up, he saw the familiar place again.
With a wave of his hand, the iron chains rattled.
"woke up?"
Upon hearing the voice, Huangfu Nanfeng smiled calmly, "My Jinzhi is still so clever, how did she discover me?"
Qin Jinzhi sipped her tea slowly, "Maybe it's because I smelled that unpleasant scent on you."
Huangfu Nanfeng sat up lazily. "I can even smell my scent. It seems we're destined to be a perfect match."
Qin Jinzhi walked to the cage and squatted down to be at eye level with him. "Trying to escape back to Chu? Breaking the agreement before the envoy arrives in the capital?"
Huangfu Nanfeng crawled over as if he had no bones, his face only a fist's distance from Qin Jinzhi's. He smiled faintly, "I just missed you so much. If you could come to see me every day, I definitely wouldn't run away."
She looks like an innocent canary throwing a tantrum because she lacks companionship.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Alright, give me your Chu Kingdom's defense map, and I'll come see you every day."
Even without makeup, her every smile and frown made those around her pale in comparison.
Huangfu Nanfeng suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes fixed on Qin Jinzhi as if he were locking onto his prey. "As long as you marry me, I will offer up the entire Chu Kingdom with both hands!"
Qin Jinzhi's face was full of mockery.
"You don't still think of yourself as the future crown prince of Chu, do you?"
Your father has already appointed another heir three days ago, who is your third brother.
I remember you and him seemed to be the least compatible.
Do you think the Crown Prince of Chu might now want you, his biggest rival, back to Chu?
The smile on Huangfu Nanfeng's face slowly faded, and his eyes turned venomous like those of a viper.
But after a moment, the smile returned to his face. "What's mine is destined to belong only to me, the position of crown prince and you are no exception."
Qin Jinzhi stood up and said provocatively, "The Chu delegation is ready to depart. I advise you not to think about running away anymore. If you are killed by the people your third brother sent, I will not collect your body."
Huangfu Nanfeng said with a contented expression, "I told you, you see me every day, I will never run away."
Qin Jinzhi turned and left, "Yun Que, increase the dosage of Yu Xiang San!"
When she came out, Qin Ye was waiting for her in the courtyard.
"The Chu delegation will soon set off for Jin. They have made it clear that they want to exchange for the Ninth Prince, Huangfu Nanfeng. If Huangfu Nanfeng returns to Chu, war will inevitably break out again."
Qin Jinzhi said nonchalantly, "Then we'll just kill him then."
Qin Ye's eyes widened. "You and him, aren't you..."
Qin Jinzhi asked in confusion, "Not what?"
Qin Ye whispered, "You two are having an affair! If you like him, keeping him here would be a win-win situation."
Qin Jinzhi clicked her tongue several times, "I've discovered that you old man, you're only good to your grandson when you have nothing to do, and you sacrifice him when you need something. Your heart is dirty too."
