From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 222

This walk lasted another whole day. After climbing over two hills, the sky gradually darkened.

But Zhou Yuan still saw the magnificent scenery ahead. The towering city wall stretched like a long dragon, entrenched on the top of the mountain, guarding the Guanzhong land.

Arrived at Juyong Pass, rested here for a night, adjusted his condition, and went down from Juyong Pass.

After eating the rabbit meat and drinking enough water, Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and tore open the clothes that were tightening the wound.

The blood was black, and although it had not yet scabbed, it was obviously much better.

He chewed the herbs and wiped it up, and wrapped the clothes again, and it was considered to be done.

He looked at Princess Qinshui and squinted and said, "Take off your clothes and change the medicine."

"Ah! Oh..."

Princess Qinshui blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, dragging slowly, her hands were shaking.

Zhou Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he went forward and yelled, "What are you wasting time for? It's getting dark."

"Hey... Zhou Yuan, don't do that..."

Princess Qinshui was startled and said hurriedly, "I'm just embarrassed. I'm a girl too. Can't you feel sorry for me?"

"What the hell!"

Zhou Yuan stripped off her clothes and said, "If you weren't injured, do you think I would care about you? You almost hurt Jianjia and almost disrupted my plan. I haven't settled accounts with you yet."

After stripping off only one piece of underwear, Zhou Yuan began to apply medicine on her and then bandaged the wound.

Although she only had this one wound, it was too deep after all, much more serious than Zhou Yuan's flesh wounds.

Fortunately, she practiced Taoism for many years and had a strong body. If she were an ordinary woman, she would have died long ago.

"I'm sorry..."

Princess Qinshui choked up and said, "Zhou Yuan, don't hate me. I didn't expect someone to assassinate me..."

Zhou Yuan was too lazy to talk about this topic. This incident was essentially an accident. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame the opponent for being too vicious. What else can you say?

After everything was done, Zhou Yuan sat down and sighed, "I just hope it won't snow tonight. It's really cold."

After speaking, he looked at Princess Qinshui and said, "Has your internal strength not recovered yet? You can't even do basic operations?"

"Well..."

Princess Qinshui nodded gently.

Zhou Yuan didn't say anything. He looked at the shaking branches around him and couldn't help stamping his feet.

It was another blizzard tonight.

It would be difficult to set up a tent in this forest. It would be good to use wood to poke one.

Zhou Yuan found a cliff, cut off several thigh-thick trees with a sword, cut them into 1.5-meter-long wood pieces, cleared the snow, dug the ground, and inserted the wood pieces side by side into the ground.

In this way, two rows of wood pieces formed two walls against the cliff, and the wood pieces were covered side by side on top, which was considered to be a simple shelter.

Fill the gap with soil, find dry grass and leaves to spread on the ground, and the blizzard has arrived.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly hid in with Princess Qinshui. The narrow space made it impossible for the two to stand up, so they could only sit on the cliff and squeeze together.

The shelter was not solid, but it could block the wind and snow, but the cold still came in from the front.

Princess Qinshui clung to Zhou Yuan, shivering, "I want it, Zhou Yuan, I want it."

Zhou Yuan was full of black lines on his head. He wanted the inner force of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong. Could he explain it more clearly...

He held Princess Qinshui's hand, and his inner force continued to pour into her. This narrow shelter seemed to warm up.

Princess Qinshui felt much better. The warm current flowed through her body, making her numb and weak, and she fell into Zhou Yuan's arms.

Zhou Yuan frowned. He was not pretending to be a gentleman. The main reason was that the situation was critical at the moment, and he really had no intention of being charming.

Only practicing Taoism, not killing, and having a superior life, Princess Qinshui was not thin and had no muscles for various reasons.

She was plump, fair, with amazing curves, and her body was soft. The touch was really good, which easily aroused Zhou Yuan's desire.

Damn, this is God testing me!

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to pat her back gently.

Princess Qinshui blushed, and felt that Zhou Yuan's embrace was the most comfortable and warmest place in the world. Her shyness turned into sweetness, and she fell asleep soon.

The wind and snow were raging, and the nightingale's call could be heard outside.

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, put Princess Qinshui down, quietly walked out of the shelter, and quickly moved forward following the sound of the nightingale.

After walking less than a hundred feet, he saw a tall figure wearing a black cloak and a bamboo hat.

Only Xiaozhuang could have such a height.

"You are so cool, being a pair of miserable mandarin ducks here."

Xiaozhuang's tone was playful, and he said lightly: "Everyone outside is so anxious, your wife insisted on coming into the mountains to find you, and Zhuang Xuansu couldn't hold her back."

Zhou Yuan said: "Help me take the news out, let them continue to act, and continue to look."

XiaoZhuang was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you really want to have a good time with Princess Qinshui?"

Zhou Yuan spread his hands and said, "Good time? You haven't seen how tired I have been these two days, but since things have come to this, let's go along with it."

Xiao Zhuang said, "How do you need my cooperation?"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "A small town at the foot of Juyongguan Mountain. I need a place to stay, secret and unknown."

"Help me prepare pigeons. I need to contact people in Shenjing at any time and be responsible for the overall plan."

"Tell His Majesty to be prepared. This year will not be easy. Everyone must persevere."

Xiao Zhuang nodded and said, "In the small town at the foot of Juyongguan Mountain, there is a farm that is the base of our inner court. You can find everything you need there. I will send you the location and code tomorrow morning. Give it to you. "

"Is there anything else you need to cooperate with?"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, then he said softly: "Tell Jianjia that I am still alive, but I am busy with official business."

Xiao Zhuang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Things must be kept secret. She is being watched closely now. Once there is any abnormality, it will be noticed by those who are interested."

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly: "But I can't bear to let her continue to be sad. She is my real wife now, and I need to trust her."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan paused and said: "Let her pretend to be sick and stay at home."

Xiao Zhuang nodded, looked forward, and said: "Where is Princess Qinshui? How to hide it from her?"

This has become a big problem. After all, not returning to Shenjing is a sudden decision, and there is no preparation in advance.

He frowned and thought for a long time. There are many ways, but they are all far-fetched.

Xiaozhuang suddenly said, "Eighty miles to the west, there is a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes. It is quite large. How about I find it for you?"

Zhou Yuan was startled and said quickly, "Can you touch that thing? I can't afford to offend it!"

Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "I am here, why are you worried? I will bring it to you tomorrow morning. Just lead it away."

Zhou Yuan was still a little panicked. Tigers are not something that can be dealt with by so-called martial arts masters. At least it takes the level of Zhuang Sizhu to fight.

"Okay! I'll leave my life to you!"

"Don't worry."

Xiaozhuang said, and disappeared in the wind and snow.
