Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 198 Bewitched
There are lights on the water surface, and various colored lanterns float on the water surface. The lights are shining brightly, reflecting the dots of stars in the sky. There seems to be a black curtain in the sky. A quiet beauty.

Qin Zheng was sitting on the ground, while Xie Jinhua was leaning against his side. It was cold at night, but the two of them were so close together, but a little warmth passed from each other's body.

There are no strange sights in the sky yet, but for Qin Zheng and Xie Jinhua, tonight is beautiful and warm enough.

As long as the right person is by your side, beauty is everywhere.

Qin Zheng's hand gently landed on the side of Xie Jinhua's neck, tidying up her somewhat messy hair.

"A Zheng."

Xie Jinhua's eyes looked at the lanterns flowing down the gurgling water, and his eyes seemed to be dotted with stars: "Will you always be with me?"

Qin Zheng paused for Xie Jinhua to straighten his hair, and replied softly: "Yes, I will always be with you."

Forever and ever, eternal life and eternal life will accompany Xie Jin to paint.

Xie Jinhua's eyes were slightly closed, and he let out a sigh of relief: "It would be great if I could always be like this."

There is no dispute, no killing, no conspiracy, only peace, tranquility, and this person by my side.

Qin Zheng bowed his head and gently kissed Xie Jinhua's brows and eyes: "There will be such a day."

There will be a day when he will make Xie Jinhua feel as if he is here and now, and will not suffer from those chaotic killings.

There are other men and women sitting or standing around, walking together, except for the occasional murmur and whisper, there is nothing else.

Here, it seems that everyone has forgotten that this is the border of the West Frontier, a place of war and strife.

Xie Jinhua and Qin Zheng are no longer so conspicuous in the eyes of everyone at this moment, even if they are seen, they are just regarded as normal.

They are just those young men and women who are in love with each other and agree with each other.

"We seem to be a little early."

Xie Jinhua suddenly laughed.

She said that she would come to watch the wonders with Qin Zheng, but sitting here at the moment, it seems that all she can see is the sky and night, and the sky is full of stars.

"Then wait and see when the wonders come."

Qin Zheng said indifferently.

"Then we may have to wait overnight."

Xie Jin drew.

"Then wait overnight."

Xie Jinhua wants to see it, then wait, it doesn't matter if you wait for a night or two.

Xie Jinhua chuckled lightly.

The two of them were talking, when there was a sudden commotion beside them, and there was a heavy sound of falling into the water.

"Come on, someone fell into the water!"

"Come on someone!"

"Help!"

The tranquility of this place was completely broken by the sound of falling water for a moment, and there were exclamations from around. It happened to light up the road ahead, but at this moment, when someone fell into the water, there were many panicked people. Many people's lights were knocked to the ground, and some people accidentally fell into the river.

The river is not deep, as long as you can swim a little, you will be fine, not to mention that there are many floating lanterns on the water, but this is the northwest, where there is little water, rivers and lakes, and there are countless landlubbers.

The situation is even more chaotic.

Someone also ran past Xie Jinhua and Qin Zheng, just running between her and Qin Zheng, separating the two of them instantly, and the wolf cub lantern that Xie Jinhua was holding carefully in his hand fell to the ground.

"My lantern."

Xie Jinhua yelled urgently, bent down to pick up the lantern.

"elder sister."

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to grab Xie Jinhua's hand, his face was anxious.

In the confusion, he grabbed a hand at the position where Xie Jinhua had been staying before. Before Qin Zheng could breathe a sigh of relief, he wanted to shake off the hand he held in the next moment.

The opponent's wrist was already in front of Qin Zheng's eyes, and a puff of smoke came out from the blood jade bracelet.

Qin Zheng held his breath in time, but felt dizzy for the first time.

With a sway of his body, the eyes of Qin Zheng began to sway, and the things in front of Qin Zheng's eyes began to shake, and he couldn't see clearly.

Such a state is dangerous.

The moment Qin Zheng felt someone approaching in front of him, he pointed his palms up, facing the person's heart.

"A Zheng."

A familiar address came to his ears, only Xie Jinhua would call him Ah Zheng affectionately.

Huaer, sister?
Because of Qin Zheng's shouting, the inner strength condensed in his palm unconsciously dissipated. At the same time, the person in front of him stood still, and then a delicate and soft little hand held his hand: "Ah Zheng, it's so messy here, we Hurry up and get out of here, and they will be scattered again later."

Qin Zheng tried hard to wake up, but when he heard the call and felt the softness of his palms, his mind was in a trance for a while, and the thoughts in his mind were a little dull.

Qin Zheng didn't try to break free from her hand again, Xu Yanran was overjoyed in her heart, she was secretly happy that the hole card that King Jing handed to her was really strong enough to make Qin Zheng hit the trick in one fell swoop.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, held back the joy in her heart, and led Qin Zheng to the opposite direction from where Xie Jinhua was just now.

She has already succeeded in the first step, and next, she is even more incapable of making mistakes.

As long as what happened tonight is done, then her future will never be abandoned by others at will, and she will never become a chess piece that others will move at will, but can become the person who holds the chess.

Xu Yanran's voice became softer and softer, and she used her unskilled voice to make Qin Zheng fall into a deeper obsession: "Ah Zheng, believe me, I will never harm you, follow me Walk."

Qin Zheng moved his steps unconsciously.

Misty smoke, confounding sound, and poisonous poison, these three things in one, are the trump cards that King Jing gave Xu Yanran.

If Qin Zheng hadn't let down his vigilance because of Xie Jinhua tonight, if Xu Yanran hadn't changed his voice, and called Qin Zheng "A Zheng" in Xie Jinhua's voice for the first time, it would never have gone so smoothly.

Holding Qin Zheng's hand, he quietly moved away from where the two were standing just now, and disappeared into the crowd.

Now that Miyan and Huanyin have already played their role, if Qin Zheng is not able to wake up, he must quickly use Gu poison.

With a gentle smile on Xu Yanran's lips, she pulled Qin Zheng, but her steps became faster and faster.

She will never let anyone ruin her only chance.

-

Xie Jinhua just picked up a lantern to make a mistake, and when he got up again, Qin Zheng disappeared.

"Miss, the young master may just get separated, we will look for it again."

The guard looked at Xie Jinhua's cold expression, and said in a low voice.

"A Zheng will never leave me alone."

Xie Jinhua clenched his fists, and scanned the shadowy and chaotic crowd around him. The few people who just fell into the water had already been rescued, but Qin Zheng's shadow was no longer nearby.

Xie Jinhua's eyes suddenly froze, there was a ball of blood that hadn't dried up, and beside the blood, there was a hosta.

The jade hairpin looked the same, but Xie Jinhua recognized at a glance that it was the hairpin prepared for Qin Zheng by himself.

Every bit of his body is prepared to be worn by her tonight.

"Chasing this way, immediately send someone to notify the city gate to close, and let all the soldiers in the city know that an assassin assassinated Ah Zheng just now, Ah Zheng was injured, and I was taken away by the thieves. If anyone finds someone suspicious or arrests him, he will be rewarded!"

Xie Jinhua took out a warrant and half a soldier talisman from his bosom and handed them to the two guards respectively. Amidst the guards' astonishment, he ordered clearly.

Seemingly cold and meaningless, as if she understood Qin Zheng's unexpected disappearance, she was not surprised or flustered at all, her calmness was admirable and she couldn't help but mutter about her feelings for Qin Zheng.

But only she knew that her fingertips even pinched into the palm of her hand unconsciously.

Xie Jinhua's heart is full of ominous premonition for the fresh blood, the jade hairpin that Qin Zheng is wearing tonight, and the fact that the other party should not leave.

She told herself that she had to keep calm, no matter who forced Qin Zheng to leave, she couldn't panic.

She can pretend to be Qin Zheng, she has Qin Zheng's command and soldier talisman, no matter who touches Qin Zheng, she will not let the other party get what they want.

The two guards glanced at Xie Jinhua, and then took orders in a low voice.

Qin Zheng once explained to his confidantes that Xie Jinhua's orders are his own orders, and respecting Xie Jinhua should be the same as respecting him.

-

"Princess, come with me."

The skinny bodyguard was drenched in water. The moment he saw Xu Yanran pulling Qin Zheng past, he subconsciously became alert. When he met Xu Yanran's eyes, he wanted to pull out the dagger at his waist for a moment. Nothing moves.

"The king of the county."

The thin bodyguard was a little stiff: "Why are you here?"

"Of course Ah Zheng came here to watch the lanterns with me. It was very chaotic over there just now, so we left first, Zhao Wu, why don't you hurry up and take me and Ah Zheng to a safe place, talkative what!"

Xu Yanran's voice was a little hasty, with some faint dissatisfaction.

Qin Zheng will wake up at any time, there is only one chance, she can't afford to delay.

All her chips in the future are on Qin Zheng's body.

The guard froze for a moment, looked at Xu Yanran hesitantly, then glanced at Qin Zheng who was frowning and covering his forehead as if he was troubled by something, and vaguely guessed something: "Jun Wang, Princess, please come with me."

The skinny guard led Xu Yanran and Qin Zheng to the Marshal's Mansion.

Qin Zheng always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and felt that the vaguely visible woman beside him made him vaguely strange.

But when they arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, Qin Zheng looked at the familiar place, and slowly let go of the vague guard of unfamiliarity in his heart.

Xu Yanran was the closest to him, so she could naturally feel every movement of Qin Zheng, and the corners of her lips couldn't help evoking a small smile.

"Ah Zheng, we're home."

The skinny bodyguards led the two of them into the Marshal's mansion. The soldiers guarding outside the mansion saw Qin Zheng and did not stop them. They were somewhat puzzled as to why Xie Jinhua who was following him had changed.

The skinny guards took Xu Yanran and Qin Zheng to Qin Zheng's residence in the marshal's mansion, and met other people along the way, but no one suspected it.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Although some of Prince Jing's people here were damaged by Qin Zheng, there are still quite a few people who need to be used. Just now, he helped the skinny guards by the river to create chaos. People are Prince Jing's people, and there are naturally places with the highest priority like the Marshal's Mansion.

Neither being able nor daring to help, it was easy to give the thin man the architectural layout of the Marshal's Mansion and Qin Zheng's residence.

The skinny guard stood outside, and Xu Yanran held Qin Zheng on the bed, watching the other party staring at her, and couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat on her forehead: "A Zheng, are you thirsty? Wait, I Pour you some water to drink."

Xu Yanran turned around, took out a cup, cut her wrist open with a knife, and blood flowed out until the cup was seven to eight full.

Not caring about bandaging the wound on her wrist, seeing that the cup was seven or eight points full, Xu Yanran hastily stretched out her other hand wearing the blood jade bracelet, took off the bracelet, and pressed a certain texture mechanism of the blood jade bracelet, A small black wax pellet entered the blood and quickly melted away.

There was a faint chirping sound, but it disappeared quickly, but the blood was tumbling strangely, as if some living thing was hidden underneath.

Xu Yanran picked up the glass and walked in front of Qin Zheng: "Come on, Ah Zheng, drink water."

The blurry figure in front of Qin Zheng's eyes looks like Xie Jinhua for a while, and doesn't look like it for a while. The smell at the end of his nose is not very good. He will not refuse anything Xie Jinhua asks him to do. Even when he is not clear-headed, he will remember this .

His lips moved closer to the cup, and a mouthful of blood was enough to swallow.
