C107 (1/2)
Zhang Zhonghan was in the midst of drinking with Qiao Zheng and upon hearing this, he seemed to choke on his wine and coughed non-stop. Qiao Liangjin hurriedly stood up and walked over, heavily knocking on the old man's back.
Only when Zhang Zhonghan was on the verge of losing her breath did Qiao Liangjin finally stop her knocks and sit back down, grinning.
Qiao Zheng reprimanded her: ”Jin'er, don't be so rude when you speak.”
After saying that, Qiao Liangjin turned to Zhang Zhonghan and apologized, ”Please forgive me, Great Sima. My Jin'er is pure and honest. If there's anything she wants to say, please forgive her.”
After being slapped by Qiao Liangjin a few times, Zhang Zhonghan was almost unable to breathe. He waved his hand and said, ”Your daughter really has a strong palm strength.”
Qiao Liangjin waved her hand with a smile and shyly said, ”Great Sima, don't talk about choking like this. Even if you die, I can still save you with a few slaps.”
”Jin'er, stop messing around!” Qiao Zheng's tone turned serious.
Qiao Liangjin stuck out her tongue, then said with a mischievous smile, ”Big Sima, my brother isn't good at women, but I'm a man, you can send me some male whores or ducks, I'm very happy to be bought by you.”
Zhang Zhonghan's face turned green and white after hearing Qiao Liangjin's words. He changed colors several times at the same time, making Qiao Liangjin feel very good.
Not long after eating the wine, Zhang Zhonghan held onto his chest and said that he was not feeling well. Qiao Zheng could only leave with Qiao Liangjin.
After getting on the carriage, Qiao Liangjin took the handkerchief and slowly wiped away the makeup on her face. She then quietly pondered about Zhang Zhonghan's actions.
Qiao Zheng suddenly sighed and said: ”Jin'er, what do you think is wrong with this Zhang Zhonghan?”
Qiao Liangjin shook her head. If she wasn't sure about something, she wouldn't easily come to a conclusion.
Qiao Zheng suddenly knocked on Qiao Liangjin's forehead and complained, ”You were too much of a prankster just now. If something were to happen to Great Sima Zhang Zhonghan, you would not be able to shirk your responsibility.”
Qiao Zheng's hand suddenly pressed down on Qiao Zheng's head as he said with a slightly hurried voice, ”Be careful!”
Just as he finished speaking, an arrow flew past Qiao Zheng's scalp and Qiao Liangjin grabbed the arrow.
Qiao Zheng raised his head to look at the arrow in Qiao Liangjin's hand and hurriedly said, ”What happened?”
Qiao Liang pushed Qiao Zheng's head down and said softly, ”Father, lie down. I'll go take a look.”
He then pulled up the curtain and said to the coachman, ”Don't stop the carriage.”
With a tap of his feet, his fat body flew past the roof of the carriage like a swallow and headed in the direction of the arrow.
Just as he reached the place, he saw Lu Bing grabbing onto a person's collar and throwing him onto the ground. He shook his head and said, ”He's dead. It's a dead servant.”
Qiao Liangjin pulled up that person's hair, and carefully looked at the face of the servant, and said: ”How should we deal with this corpse?”
”This is how we should deal with it in the past.” As Lu Xiao spoke, he took out a whistle from his sleeve and blew on it.
Qiao Liangjin's mind suddenly flashed with her impression of the five men she killed in the alley. She suddenly asked, ”Previously, I killed five men in the alley. Did you deal with them?”
Lu Xiao scratched his head and smiled. ”Princess's methods are really clean and nimble. This Subordinate is very impressed.”
Qiao Liangjin's heart suddenly started beating fiercely. So it was really him. He was helping him clean up everything so that she wouldn't have to worry about the future.
Lu Bing looked at Qiao Liangjin's slightly disappointed expression and asked, ”What happened to the wangfei?”
Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly and left after nodding her head. She ran towards the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, he opened the door and saw that Qiao Zheng was still sprawled on the carriage. He could not help but laugh. ”Alright, Father, everything is fine. I am alone and dead.”
Qiao Zheng was helped to sit up by Qiao Liangjin. He looked at Qiao Liangjin and asked in puzzlement: ”Jin'er, when did you learn martial arts?”
Qiao Liangjin smiled. She had long since prepared herself for this and knew that sooner or later, she would not be able to hide it from Qiao Zheng.
”When I was young, my mother asked someone to teach me martial arts. After I fell into the water, someone kept chanting some incantation to me while I was unconscious. I woke up to practice according to that incantation, but I didn't expect my results to be twice the result.”
Qiao Zheng stared dumbfoundedly at Qiao Liangjin, who was spouting nonsense. He gave a bitter laugh and could only pretend to believe his daughter. Since he knew it was nonsense, why did he need to know the truth?
Pulling open a corner of the curtain and looking out into the night, Qiao Zheng asked again: ”Who is it?” You want to kill someone? ”
Qiao Liangjin held the body of the black arrow and shook her head. ”No, he doesn't want to kill people. She's probably warning us that if we want to kill people, he won't be the only one. Today, we'll probably become hedgehogs.”
Qiao Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this as his finger lightly tapped the side of the carriage. He smiled bitterly and said: ”Bailing to return home may be the last way to protect us.”
Qiao Liangjin patted the back of Qiao Zheng's hand and said nothing more.
After returning to the Flower Glow Pavilion, Qiao Liangjin threw the black arrow on the table and asked, ”Do any of you know where this arrow came from?”
Ah Bai shook his head. Lu Bing grabbed the body of the arrow and looked at it carefully. He leaned against the candle flame and scrutinized it again. He pointed to the end of the arrow and said, ”Princess, there's a mark of a plum blossom here.”
Qiao Liangjin frowned and asked, ”Plum Blossom?” Following the direction that Lu C was pointing at, they saw a sprouting plum flower at a certain angle.
