Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 184 Half a Soldier Talisman
Suddenly there was a burst of noise outside, and there was a burst of chaotic footsteps coming towards this side, approaching from far away.

"My lord, our county prince was assassinated last night. After killing an assassin with his own hands, he stayed in the tent and never went out. All of us present can prove this."

The footsteps stopped outside the tent, and there was the sound of guards blocking the door.

"Because the prince of the county was assassinated, so we have to see with our own eyes to make sure whether the assassin has come to the prince of the county again. Those assassins are so bold. Not only you were assassinated here last night, but also the marshal's mansion in the city found out The assassin even kidnapped the young lady in the end, the marshal is not in good health, and because of this incident, his injury has worsened, we came here to check it out because we are afraid that the assassin will be daring to kill you!"

The people outside kept saying they were worried about Qin Zheng's safety, but in fact their words were full of persecution.

The guards wanted to stop him, but Qin Zheng's voice came from the tent.

"Get out of the way, let the assassin catcher come in and take a good look to see if any assassins have sneaked in here. If you really find an assassin, I will be very grateful.

The guard hesitated for a moment, but in the end, his obedience to the order had the upper hand, and his body, which had been blocking the front of the tent, turned to the side and got out of the way.

The curtain of the tent that was newly replaced last night was lifted, and the visitor saw the person sitting behind the desk facing the curtain at a glance.

In the clear sky, that face is indeed Qin Zheng, the person he saw yesterday, Qin Zheng was slowly flipping through a book in his hand, and beside him was a man dressed as a guard standing with his head bowed. side.

It seems that there is no sense of presence, compared to someone like Qin Zheng who has a strong sense of presence.

"Did the prince of the county get frightened last night?"

The leader was a tall, thin general with a gloomy face, even when he was smiling, he was a little gloomy.

"In the end, it was our Northwest Army's lack of protection that allowed the prince of the county to infiltrate assassins here. When I look back, I will definitely teach those little ones outside that they are so unprepared."

While talking, the tall and thin general carefully observed Qin Zheng, from his face to his whole body, not letting go of every inch, vowing to find any flaws.

The people following him were a little embarrassed by his excessive gaze.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng is a man. If it were a woman, there would be a conflict on the spot.

"Have you seen enough?"

Qin Zheng finally raised his head, allowing the tall and thin general to clearly see the coldness in his eyes: "I can count it as clear at a glance, even if you think about it, an assassin can't hide so many people, if you have seen enough , tell me about what you said happened in the city last night."

Not only was Qin Zheng not in a hurry to drive people away, but he even wanted to find out what happened last night. Such an attitude dispelled most of the doubts in the hearts of the visitors.

"The assassin came to the city last night. Fortunately, the marshal is fine, but the young lady was taken away. The county prince will wait here with peace of mind. After a few days, the young lady will be found and the assassin will be removed. The marshal is in better health. Naturally, the prince of the county will be invited to enter the city, the city is too chaotic at the moment, I hope the prince of the county will forgive me."

The tall and thin man left these words, and then led the people outside, obviously after dispelling his doubts, he didn't want to stay here any longer.

The sound of footsteps gradually receded and did not stop at all. It was obvious that those people came all this way for the purpose of coming to Qin Zheng's side to test things out.

"What did you do in the city last night? Make them feel like an enemy?"

There was undisguised curiosity in Xie Jinhua's voice.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng quickly changed her attire within a few words when she came back, otherwise it would be too late to change now.

"Also, what happened to the kidnapped Miss Yuan?"

Xie Jinhua's fingertips felt Qin Zheng's neck pulse, which is a fatal part of a person, as long as it is scratched, it can be fatal, but Qin Zheng let Xie Jinhua stop his fingertips on that fatal place, as if I didn't notice it at all: "Miss Yuan was indeed kidnapped by me, sister, you really have insight into the details."

Qin Zheng even praised Xie Jinhua.

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, Xie Jinhua's waist tightened, and Qin Zheng was already holding him in his arms.

At some point, Xie Jinhua had torn off the mask that was simply pasted on, so Qin Zheng didn't need to worry about it.

"I went to visit the Marshal's Mansion at night last night. I didn't expect to find out that the security in the Marshal's Mansion is not right. Not only is it strict on the outside, but also on the inside."

Qin Zheng went to the Marshal's Mansion last night, and he was used to spying on assassinations, so the seemingly normal heavy defenses in the Marshal's Mansion, in his eyes, instantly saw some clues.

Those guards did not allow outsiders to enter at will, and they did not allow those inside to take an extra step or say more than one word.

It doesn't look like they are protecting the people in the Marshal's Mansion, but rather like guarding and imprisoning the people in the Marshal's Mansion.

"I spent a lot of effort to find the location of the marshal. Marshal Yuan Zhen was indeed injured, not only injured, but also poisoned."

When Qin Zheng said this, there was a coldness in his eyes.

The poison in Marshal Yuan Zhen is a chronic poison, which penetrated into his body day by day, so it must have been done by people around him. In addition to the abnormal guarding situation in the Marshal's mansion, it is known that someone around Yuan Zhen has moved his mind.

Xie Jinhua also thought of this, and for a moment her expression froze: "Some people never know what should be done and what should not be done."

As everyone knows, if Yuan Zhen really fell down suddenly, no matter who is around him, facing the Northwest Army, they will not have the effect of Yuan Zhen's unanimous response and crowd of followers.

The Northwest will no longer be as stable as before.

Under the collapse of the nest, there will be no eggs. Everyone can say this truth, but when it comes to doing it, few people can do it and think of it.

"Marshal Yuan Zhen was killed by his adopted son."

Qin Zheng took a look at Xie Jinhua, smiled, and covered her hands: "Although he is a adopted son, his surname is not Yuan. He is General Ying Xiao in the Northwest Army. He is a well-known figure in the army. The most joyful thing about using soldiers is that they have made countless military achievements, but Marshal Yuan Zhen said that he has an extreme temper and sometimes acts too darkly, so he did not consider him as his successor."

He understood the reason why the other party acted like this, but he didn't agree with this kind of cooking.

Although Qin Zheng also has ambitions and wants to climb up the ladder, there are some things he can do and some things he cannot.

He has always been very clear in his heart.

He doesn't move innocent people, and he doesn't move soldiers who are dedicated to defending their homes and the country.

Whether it is Daqing or Xiyuan, Qin Zheng has always insisted on these two points.

At that time the emperor asked him to deal with the Baili family, Qin Zheng would cooperate with Bailifeng, one is indeed for the future use of the Baili family, and the second is because he does not want to attack the Baili family unless it is absolutely necessary.

He had been the commander of the Vermillion Bird Guard, and his hands were stained with countless blood in a short period of time, but he always had his own unique persistence.

Xie Jinhua fell silent.

Qin Zheng sighed: "The man's surname is Ye, and his name is Ye Yulin. Marshal Yuan Zhen said that he was persecuted because he sensed that he was involved with some people in Licheng. So I moved my hand."

"Is it Prince Jing?"

When Xie Jinhua heard Qin Zheng's words, he subconsciously thought of the second prince Xi Yuan, Qin Zheng's biological father.

Except for that one, she couldn't think of anyone else with such long hands and such powerful means.

Being able to connect with a character like Ye Yulin early on.

Qin Zheng didn't say yes: "I'm not sure who it is, but I can't escape those few people."

"Marshal Yuan Zhen is the pinnacle of Dinghai in the Northwest after all. If he died suddenly, no one would be able to control the entire Northwest Army. My daughter, Yuanying, wants to marry Yuanying directly and become the legitimate son-in-law of the Yuan family."

"Marshal Yuanzhen has been making false claims with him all the time. I will get the name of the emperor's grandfather and come here as the temporary commander of the entire army. It is also because of Marshal Yuanzhen's methods that I came here to check and balance some people."

All the redundant emotions in Qin Zheng's eyes faded, and he calmed down completely in a short period of time: "He asked me to take Yuanying away and protect her. The gift is half a soldier's talisman."

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a square half soldier talisman, carved with strange patterns, and the tentacles were cold.

Xie Jinhua wanted to follow Qin Zheng to the northwest, so naturally he made a lot of preparations.

In addition, she read the documents all night yesterday, so she naturally knew the great use of the half soldier talisman in Qin Zheng's hand.

In Yuan Zhen's hand, there is a soldier talisman, which is said to be made of meteoric iron from outside the sky, and it is something that can mobilize the entire army in the Northwest.

Although this soldier talisman in the hands of others cannot mobilize the entire army in the Northwest like Yuan Zhen's hands, it can mobilize many people.

Especially after being able to prove his orthodox status, if Yuan Zhen fails.

Good things are good things, but they have to be distributed in someone's hands: "This half of the soldier talisman is a thank you gift, and it is also a reminder."

Xie Jinhua's eyes became more and more cold.

Yuanzhen is like the Baili family in Daqing, who are loyal to defend the country and protect the land and the people, but there is also a saying that kindness does not control soldiers.

Yuan Zhen's ability to control the Northwest Army all the time and keep the aliens in the Northwest proved that he was not a good stubble.

It's like half a soldier talisman in Qin Zheng's hand.

"If I really want to thank you, I'll either give you a whole piece, or give you something more practical."

Half a dollar just made Qin Zheng not have the opportunity to truly control the Northwest Army, but also made him a thorn in everyone's eyes.

Xie Jinhua also has the same persistence as Qin Zheng, and will not do anything to those who deserve to die, but Yuan Zhen's behavior of using Qin Zheng as a gunman made her instantly have all the impressions of Yuan Zhen. Back to negative.

"Yuanying is now placed in a place that only I know. Fortunately, my father-in-law gave me a connection in the Northwest Army. It is also fortunate that you have been pretending to be me, confusing their sight. Otherwise, I will be here today." But it would be miserable."

Qin Zheng put his head close to Xie Jinhua's neck, held her hand holding half of the soldier talisman, and slowly tightened it, with a look in his eyes: "Since he sent this thing to me If you have it in your hand, don’t even think about taking it away.”

"I want this half, and I want the other half."
