When Zhao An returned to the palace, the empress had already gotten up. She was shocked when she heard the inside story, "You mean, that hand could be Que'er?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Zhao An felt empty now, his mind filled with anxiety and worry, and he was simply restless.
Female, ninth grade.
Who else could it be besides Queer?
Jiuyin is safe and sound, and Jinxiu has been in Cuilan Garden.
Zhao An hesitated again and again and hurried to Cining Palace. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the playful and smiling little eunuch.
"Eunuch Zhao, the Queen Mother has gone to bed. If you want to see her, come back during the day."
"I have something important to see the Queen Mother."
"Sorry, I can't disturb the Queen Mother."
The little eunuch learned the lesson and asked a few slaves to guard the door and prevent him from entering.
Zhao An really wanted to kick him to death!
Que'er is not here now, so she can only wait until daytime to go to Tianshuiyuan to find out.
I hope that girl is safe.
The night was extremely difficult, and after a long time the sky brightened.
Since there was no need to go to court these days, Zhao An said hello to the empress and left the palace.
After getting off the carriage, I walked in such a hurry that I almost fell over and ate shit.
Staggering into the yard, Jiuyin danced with his sword alone in the front yard as if there was no one around.
Zhao An sneaked all the way to the backyard and stood in front of Que'er's door, his hand shaking slightly as he pushed the door open.
"Quer, are you there?"
No one in the room responded.
Zhao An was startled and hurriedly opened the door.
He saw a familiar girl, wearing a pair of snow-white clothes and pants, struggling to get out of bed. One of her hands was wrapped in gauze, and the other hand was intact.
Seeing Zhao An, Que'er smiled and said, "Ah, why are you here so early? Do you miss Que'er?"
At this moment, Zhao An's heart finally dropped into his stomach. He strode forward and hugged her tightly. She was a little confused in his arms, "What's wrong with you?"
"And he said, what happened last night?"
Zhao An held her shoulders tightly with a very serious expression.
Que'er stuck out her tongue, "The Queen Mother asked me to deal with a person, so I went there, but I didn't expect that I missed the target and was run away by the other party."
"Kill who?"
"I don't know. A woman whose strength should be at level nine is only a thin line away from a grand master."
Que'er nodded her lips and muttered.
Zhao An couldn't help but wonder.
With Luo Qingshuang's background, is it so troublesome to kill people?
Even if she doesn't hesitate to confront Chen Guogong, she still wants to get the explosives?
No, there's a big problem inside!
Luo Qingshuang's subordinates include Wu Yan, Chang Yuan and the old woman, all of whom are ninth-grade experts. Especially Wu Yan is so strong. Even if three people join forces, they can kill a ninth-grade person, which is better than using explosives!
"How do I know? I can't disobey the Queen Mother's order."
Que'er shrugged and poured a cup of tea.
Zhao An asked in a low voice: "What did the Queen Mother tell you?"
"You just asked me to kill someone, and I followed the order. Unfortunately, I didn't kill him, so I might have to ask you for some explosives."
"The other party lost an arm and is probably dead. Just wait and see. It won't be long before the Jingzhao Mansion can find out the other party's whereabouts. Such a serious injury will definitely require golden sore medicine and a doctor. It's easy to check."
"maybe."
Que'er yawned and tilted his head to look over, "Sir, is there anything else? If nothing happens, you can go back first. I have to rest for a while."
She staggered back to bed.
Looking at her back, Zhao An's heart suddenly stagnated, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe. Then he came to the bed and sat down, "Qier, can I take you to the new city today?"
"Why go to Xincheng?" Que'er asked curiously.
Zhao An squeezed her little hand, "Anyway, you need explosives to complete the mission, so I'll take you there. If you need it in the future, just go and get it."
Que'er's eyes lit up. Although it was only for a short time, Zhao An accurately captured it.
She murmured: "Aren't you suspicious of why the Queen Mother used explosives to kill people, for fear of causing trouble and implicating His Majesty, so why did you give it to me?"
"You are my woman. As long as you want it, I will give it to you. You should have a good rest and sleep first, and then we will go to the new city together."
Zhao An smiled and wanted to pinch her face, but she subconsciously blocked her big hand. Then she complained that she felt sleepy and lay down with her back to him.
The moment Zhao An walked out of the room and closed the door, his smiling expression suddenly froze, and he covered his heart with a strong desire to vomit in his organs. His eyes suddenly turned scarlet and ferocious, like a mad beast, tears streaming down his face. Unable to stop sliding.
"My, Que'er..."
Zhao An clenched his fists and walked out of the courtyard step by step. From a distance, he saw Zhou Rang's room with the door open and empty inside.
"Hey, are you okay? What's your expression?"
Jiuyin came over.
Zhao An shook his head, entered the room and wrote a letter and handed it to her, "Excuse me, please help me bring it to General Qianyu."
"Mysterious, if you have something to say, wouldn't you like me to convey it to you?"
"I owe you a favor."
Zhao An forced a smile.
Jiuyin was stunned for a moment, said something strange, then collected the letter and turned around to leave.
After she left, Zhao An squatted at the small table, held his head tightly, pulled his hair and sobbed.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have let you go!"
"I swear, I will cut them into pieces and crush their bones into ashes!"
…
Zhao An looked at the sword on the wall, grabbed it and pulled it out of its scabbard. The sharp edge reflected a distorted face, and tears falling on it splashed a layer of mist, blurring his vision.
For half the morning, Zhao An sat stiffly in the room, motionless.
It wasn't until the girl's voice was heard outside that Zhao An smiled and walked out with his sword.
Que'er had slept well and was talking to Xu Ruqing. When she saw Zhao An, she waved and said, "Let's go to Xincheng."
"I'll come too."
Xu Ruqing was very interested and planned to go sightseeing together.
Zhao An nodded and agreed that she would accompany her.
The carriage slowly left Tianshuiyuan, and the two girls were sitting in the carriage talking and laughing.
Zhao An drove out of the city mechanically, his eyes stiff and sinister.
About half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the new city.
Zhao An suggested: "The weather is nice today, how about we go for a walk in the Dagu River?"
"Okay, okay, the little lady still misses the barbecue cooked by my husband last time."
Xu Ruqing seemed very happy, but Que'er didn't say anything.
Then Zhao An gave instructions and had people pack up the barbecue utensils and condiments and wait for them to be shipped over.
The carriage left the new city and arrived at the Dagu River in a short while. It was already far away from the new city.
Moreover, the weather today was not very good. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was getting stronger. No one could be seen at first sight, only the old horse grazing with his head down and two beautiful girls who had just gotten off the bus.
Zhao An was still holding the sword in his hand, which made Xu Ruqing a little confused, "Sir, why are you carrying the sword?"
"You have forgotten that there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests across the Dagu River, so bringing a weapon can help you defend yourself."
Zhao An made a random excuse.
Que'er pouted and said, "With your little strength, are you sure you can protect us?"
"How will you know if you don't try? I also have a heart for martial arts."
Zhao An drew out his long sword, threw down the scabbard, smiled at the two girls and said, "I'm in a good mood today, let me dance for you."
