Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 67 Sandalwood Beads

Afterwards, the two were silent all the way, Qin Zheng personally sent Xie Jinhua to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, and finally showed a little bit of reluctance in his eyes.

It was only two or three days of separation, but he felt like two or three months, two or three years.

Then we parted, and I don't know how many days it will be.

Xie Jinhua stayed in the palace temporarily for one night, but Qin Zheng wanted to stay outside Chuxiu Palace all the time.

It's just that Qin Zheng has officially joined the Suzaku Guard's establishment now, and it's been a long time since he was able to send her this way, and now he also has his own responsibilities and tasks.

Xie Jinhua didn't know this, but saw the undisguised reluctance in Qin Zheng's eyes, and smiled at him: "Okay, just send it here, and you should go back soon."

"I watched you go in."

Qin Zheng took a deep look at Xie Jinhua and said in a low voice.

He always spends all his time with her, even if he just looks at her back.

Xie Jinhua laughed: "I can't run away, even if I see less now, there will be plenty of time to see you later."

Because of her natural words, the corners of the teenager's lips curled up slightly: "I want to see more."

Xie Jinhua turned around, his sleeves tightened suddenly, and a boy's voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister, I want to see you more."

His words seemed to be speaking to her, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Xie Jinhua turned his eyes and saw only a pair of firm and stubborn eyes, which didn't match the blush on his cheeks at all: "Here, here you are."

The boy handed Xie Jinhua a string of beads.

"This is."

Xie Jinhua was a little surprised, it was a string of sandalwood beads, exuding a faint sandalwood fragrance, there were [-] in total, each one was very round and transparent, but it looked very new.

"I made it in my spare time. My sister happens to live in a Buddhist temple these days. If you need it, you can use it. If you don't need it, you can just throw it away."

Qin Zheng lowered his head slowly, his eyes were a little nervous, and he couldn't help but clenched his fingers tightly.

Feeling the tightness of the sleeves, Xie Jinhua subconsciously lowered his head and saw the boy's fingers.

There were many small wounds on the young man's hands, but most of them had scabbed and left scars or even turned into a white mark, which could not be seen clearly.

The palm looked normal.

But at this moment, because of Qin Zheng's movement of grabbing his sleeve with his backhand, Xie Jinhua clearly saw the newly added lines between the fingers and palms of the young man's right hand.

There were several cuts that were still oozing blood.

"How did it hurt?"

Xie Jinhua subconsciously wanted to grab the boy's hand.

Qin Zheng immediately withdrew his hand that was grabbing Xie Jinhua's sleeve, and hid it behind his back.

"It happened by accident."

The words came out of my mouth.

Only after I finished speaking did I realize how stupid my excuse was.

Qin Zheng wanted to clenched his fists.

Xie Jinhua took the opponent's hand, and slowly spread the boy's five fingers.

Looking at it so closely, the small wounds can be seen more clearly. Wherever it is accidentally touched, it is all caused by Mosuo, such as a carving knife.

Xie Jinhua held the round and smooth sandalwood beads without any thorns in his palm, and suddenly handed the beads to Qin Zheng's hand.

That small string of beads seemed like a thousand weights to the young man's perception at this moment.

The light in Qin Zheng's eyes quickly dimmed, and then turned into a deeper darkness, a darkness that could swallow up the night.

"Help me take it."

Xie Jinhua stretched out her hand, and her slender wrist, like a lotus root, was white, tender and beautiful, and stretched out in front of Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng's mood was like going back and forth from the ground to the sky, looking at Xie Jinhua's wrist like a lotus root, his throat moved uncontrollably.

The bead string was carefully worn by the boy on the girl's hand, and the sandalwood bead string took advantage of the girl's wrist to become more slender and fairer.

Xie Jinhua raised his hand and shook it lightly: "I like this gift very much."

"It's fine if you like it."

Qin Zheng couldn't help laughing, the boy's smile at that moment was brilliant and dazzling.

He used to be a good-looking boy.

It's just that his handsomeness is different from that of ordinary Daqing men. With his deep outline, piercing eyes, and the scars on his face, most women will always ignore his good looks.

Xie Jinhua had never noticed before that Qin Zheng was so good-looking, but at this moment, looking at his smile, he felt dumbfounded.

It was a warm feeling.

From the bottom of my heart to my whole body.

"A Zheng."

Before turning around, Xie Jinhua called him suddenly.

"Ah."

Qin Zheng stood there without moving.

"I believe in you, I have always believed in you."

You are not weak, you are the strongest.

So, keep working hard, go forward, don't stop your footsteps because of me.

At that moment, the girl's eyes were strangely solemn.

"This medicine, remember to wipe your hands and face, it will be cured soon, I like good-looking people."

Xie Jinhua was serious one moment, but suddenly took out the ointment from his sleeve the next moment, and smiled playfully at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng stood there, holding the ointment stuffed by Xie Jinhua in his hand. There was still a slight temperature on the porcelain bottle, which was Xie Jinhua's body temperature.

The back figure painted by Xie Jin quickly disappeared into the palace.

Qin Zheng didn't turn around until he could no longer see her shadow, and walked out.

He is still too weak, so weak that he can only look at her back.

The boy's eyes became deeper and deeper.

On the opposite side, there is Suzaku Wei coming this way, looking for Qin Zheng.

Seeing Qin Zheng, the other party quickened his pace and rushed to him, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Why are you still here? Everyone outside has assembled, and we are just short of a few people. Go over quickly, don't delay the matter."

-

"By His Majesty's order, go out of the city to handle errands!"

The leading knight's token was raised, and the closed city gate creaked open, a group of knights rushed out from the capital, their horseshoes fell sharply, splashing mud and water dripping all over the sky.

During the gust of wind and rain, the red shadows that were too dazzling could not be concealed.

"Is this Suzaku Guard?"

There is no second team like this in the whole capital city with that rich and dazzling red service.

A soldier who opened the door had some surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

For Suzakuwei's sudden move.

Usually Suzaku Guard would not leave the palace, let alone leave the capital.

In the minds of most Daqing people, Zhuquewei represents mystery.

The soldier squinted his eyes, wanting to see more clearly. Covered by the thick layer of rain, he could see through whether the Vermillion Bird Guard was superhuman or not.

What does it look like.

"I don't know what they are going to do when they go out of the city in such weather."

The soldier muttered to himself, guessing why so many Suzaku guards would be dispatched.

"I don't want to live anymore!"

A hand pushed hard on the head of the soldier talking to himself, blocking his next words.

It was another veteran, who pushed the new recruit to the side of the pile that could slightly shelter from the wind and rain, squatted down, and wiped the rainwater from his face fiercely: "You didn't see anything today, what Suzaku Wei, it has nothing to do with us, do you know?"

The Vermilion Bird Guards would easily leave the palace and the capital, but now these hundred and ten Vermilion Bird Guards have left the capital directly, which may represent a series of killings and bloodshed.

That veteran has more experience and knows a word clearly, the more he knows, the sooner he will die.

There is another saying, curiosity killed the cat.

He just wanted to guard the city gate safely and live the rest of his life.

Just looking at the place where the Vermillion Bird Guard disappeared, the veteran couldn't help but guess what happened, and a hundred or ten Vermilion Bird Guards were dispatched at once.

The old soldier and the new soldier didn't notice that the moment Zhuquewei left the city, a black shadow passed over the city gate.

It was a goshawk.

Zhuquewei is the most trusted army around the emperor. A bargaining chip is the emperor's eyes, ears, and the knife in his hand.

I don't know how many people are the thorn in the flesh.

When Suzakuwei moved, countless people in the capital could not sleep peacefully.

-

The night was very windy and rainy.

Xie Jinhua was placed in a side room in Chuxiu Palace, and the faint lights reflected her shadow on the wall.

It looked a little spooky at night.

Xie Jinhua frowned and sat up.

Ordinarily, she has tried her best to do what she thinks she should do, and she has nothing to worry about. The rest should be the emperor's worries.

Her paper mentioned several places where floods and plagues occurred. As long as the emperor is not too incompetent, he will do something.

But at this moment, his heart was beating violently uncontrollably with the sound of thunderstorm outside.

Like heart palpitations.

In a trance, I feel that something terrible and ominous is about to happen or is happening.

Xie Jinhua's fingers suddenly grabbed the skirt of his chest: "Ah Zheng."

A boy's smile suddenly appeared in the girl's mind.

That very warm smile at the end.

Xie Jinhua was in a state of confusion.

She is not an existence like Liaokong who can calculate fate and see the future, but sometimes her premonition is a damned spirit.

Good spirits, bad spirits.

In her previous life, if something happened to someone close to her, she would have a bad feeling.

Same as the current feeling.

Xie Jinhua couldn't stay still any longer, walked to the table, picked up the candlestick and walked out.

"Girl, what are your orders?"

The maid who kept watch outside woke up when Xie Jinhua had just walked a few steps, rushed to her, and asked in a low voice.

"Can you help me find the person who sent me here today? He is on duty in the Suzaku Guard, and his surname is Qin."

Xie Jinhua wants to ask her if she knows Qin Zheng's whereabouts.

The next moment, when he saw the bewildered expression of the maid, he stopped talking.

What can a little maid serving in a remote palace know?

"I go out for a while."

"Miss, you are not allowed to move around at night without permission in the palace. If you are found, you will be dealt with."

The little palace maid who was still at a loss just now heard Xie Jinhua say that she was going out, her eyes were full of anxiety, and she stretched out her hand to block Xie Jinhua's body.

"Forget it, you go down first."

Xie Jinhua was stunned for a while, unable to wave his hand to make the palace maid back, the other party looked at her several times, closed the door of the inner room tightly before going out, but did not go far.

The little maid was worried that Xie Jinhua's wandering around at night would hurt her.

Xie Jinhua sighed, opened a corner of the window, looked at the wet ground under the corridor, and looked at the outside that was connected to a line of mist, the girl's fingertips were tightly clenched together, grasping the string Sandalwood beads.

Ah Zheng, you must be fine.

In a canyon outside the capital city, blood splattered, and the light of the knife flickered. Qin Zheng cut off half of the shoulder of the man in black opposite him with one knife, and with a backhand knife, he pierced the chest of the sneak attacker from behind.

Panting, he wiped away the blood on his face, facing the constant onslaught of swords, the boy's eyes were full of cruelty.
