Agente secreto Wind Boy

Capítulo 32

Yelü Yanxi's eyes gradually became unfocused, and he slowly fell asleep. Qin Zhen looked at his pale face and thought to herself, "Do you want to abandon this mess and walk away? No way! Your life belongs to your sixth senior brother. Whether you live or die is up to him. I won't let you die!"

Seeing that Yelü Yanxi had fallen into a deep sleep, Consort Wen asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

Qin Zhen said, "It's nothing. He just fell asleep because he was exhausted. This medicine can only barely suppress the toxicity. I need to go and ask an expert in detoxification. We still need him to eradicate the poison."

Yelü Chun, still uneasy, said, "Who do you want to invite? Tell me, and I'll send someone to invite him."

"No, he's not someone just anyone can find. I have to go myself."

Although Yelü Chun told himself that his granddaughter had grown up in the martial arts world and there was no need to worry too much, he was still worried that if his granddaughter got into any trouble while they were reunited, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

Qin Zhen noticed his worry and comforted him, saying, "I'll be back in just six days, Father. Don't worry too much. I'll have my brother accompany me, and we'll be back soon."

Seeing the critically ill Yelü Yanxi, Yelü Chun had no choice but to nod hard and send Qin Zhen out of the palace to prepare for his journey.

Stepping out of the palace hall, Qin Zhen keenly glanced back at the corner of the eaves and vaguely saw a gray-white shadow flash by. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and then she turned and walked out of the palace.

Qin Zhen's departure was unplanned, and he couldn't inform Zhao Gou in advance. He only secretly sent someone to inform him before leaving. By the time Zhao Gou received the news, Qin Zhen and Yue Fei had already mounted their horses and galloped out of the city.

"Thump!"

Zhao Gou slammed his fist on the table, his mind churning. Zhao Yong, who was guarding outside the door, heard the noise and came in to ask if something was wrong. Zhao Gou thought for a moment, then said to Zhao Yong, "I know where Qin Zhen is. You will come with me to find her now!"

The sudden decision surprised Zhao Yong greatly. He was quite happy to know that Qin Zhen was safe, but now that his master was coming to find him, the matter became somewhat tricky.

Seeing that Zhao Yong was about to stop him, Zhao Gou spoke first: "The Liao emperor is still unconscious from poisoning. It will definitely take him more than half a month to recover. During this time, I have nothing else to do. What's wrong with me going to find Qin Zhen and bring him back? Don't stop me, make the arrangements quickly!"

“Your Highness,” Zhao Yong suggested, “I will naturally follow Your Highness’s orders, but it is too much trouble to persuade those ‘bookworms’. Why don’t we discuss it with Liu Qi and make a secret trip?”

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Zhao Yong to help him sneak away: "That's excellent. Quickly call Liu Qi over. I want to talk to him in person."

When Liu Qi learned about Qin Zhen's situation, he was overjoyed. He still remembered that the girl had a pair of bright, mischievous eyes and a clever appearance that was very endearing. It would be such a pity if she really died!

"Your subject is also willing to travel with Your Highness!"

“No, no,” Zhao Gou said. “You will stay at the post station and keep an eye on those ‘bookworms.’ Zhao Yong will accompany me. I’ll leave everything to you.”

Liu Qi nodded sadly: "Then we have no choice but to do this. Your Highness, please be careful! Guard Zhao, I entrust everything to you!"

Seeing that everything was arranged, Zhao Yong took Zhao Gou and secretly slipped away under the cover of darkness that night, heading east towards Yiwulü Mountain, the very place Qin Zhen had mentioned they were going to.

========================================================

Are there any people from Northeast China here? If so, you should know about Yiwulü Mountain, haha.

I'm packing my bags to go home for Qingming Festival later. See you tomorrow!

Volume Two: Eagle Soars Through the Sky Chapter 65: Strange People and Strange Events Continue

Heading east from Zhongjing Dading Prefecture, there is a deep mountain, filled with rare stones and exotic herbs, called Yiwulü Mountain. That is where Qin Zhen is going this time.

Qin Zhen and Yue Fei left the city at noon that day, and by dusk they had arrived at the Yongba Ferry in Jianzhou on the Daling River. After leaving their horses at the post station, they went to the ferry and inquired, only to find out that a boat would sail down the Daling River eastward every noon, and they would have to wait until noon the next day to catch it.

So they returned to Jianzhou City, intending to find an inn to stay in before continuing their journey the next day.

As they walked down the street, they spotted an inn called "Zhibei Ke" in the distance, its lanterns hanging high, looking quite nice. They all headed towards it. Qin Zhen had just reached the inn's entrance, not even stepping inside, when a young man rushed out. If Yue Fei hadn't quickly pulled her back, she would have been badly injured.

Qin Zhen looked unhappily in the direction the reckless boy was running. Before he could utter a word of complaint, he felt a gust of wind sweep past, and a girl followed closely behind the boy, carrying a gleaming broadsword and chasing after him.

"There's no law anymore! They're actually chasing someone with a knife in the street..." Yue Fei said in surprise, seemingly very worried about the boy's safety.

Just as they were considering whether to get involved, the inn's waiter rushed out, smiling, and said, "Are you two guests staying here? Please don't be frightened by those crazy siblings, our inn is absolutely safe!"

"Siblings?"

Qin Zhen was extremely surprised. Although she had just sensed that the woman with the knife only had anger and no murderous intent, she had not expected that they were siblings.

The waiter, his face full of bitterness, said, "That's right. I've never seen a brother and sister like this before. They've been staying at the shop for two days, and they 'chase' us like this several times a day, scaring away all our customers. We're really suffering... But they look so fierce, we don't dare to chase them away. We really don't know what to do..."

Qin Zhen burst out laughing. Could it be that the innkeeper had offended someone, attracting such a scourge?

Seeing the waiter's miserable expression, Qin Zhen and Yue Fei smiled and went into the shop, thinking that at least they were patronizing his business.

"Waiter, bring us a few dishes to fill our stomachs first, then prepare two rooms," Yue Fei ordered.

"Alright, what would you like to eat, sir? We'll be right there!"

After a while, a table of dishes was finally set out. Just as they picked up their chopsticks to eat, a burly man wearing a black veil and a bamboo hat walked in and sat down at the next table without saying a word.

Yue Fei had often heard Zhou Tong talk about the ways of the martial world at home, so he was very curious about the big man's attire, which immediately sparked many of his imaginations. Before he could take a closer look, there was another commotion at the door; it was the brother and sister from before returning.

The older sister grabbed her younger brother by the ear with one hand and tied his arm behind his back with the other, pulling him back while loudly proclaiming something. The younger brother, however, didn't stop struggling and kicking. The four people, including the second brother, all turned to look at them, but they didn't seem to care and just went upstairs noisily.

Qin was really hungry. The world is full of strange people and strange things, so she wasn't interested in looking at them and started eating by herself. After a while, Yue Fei also looked away and quickly started eating.

After they returned to their room, Yue Fei said to Qin Zhen somewhat awkwardly, "Sister, how about we share a room tonight? You can sleep, and I'll just make do at the table for the night."

Meeting Qin Zhen's questioning gaze, Yue Fei explained, "The brother and sister seem to have a grudge against the man in the black hat. As soon as they returned to the inn, the murderous aura in the room suddenly intensified. I'm afraid something might happen tonight that could implicate you."

"Don't worry, big brother," Qin Zhen said nonchalantly. "Just sleep soundly. If you don't get a good rest tonight, how will you have the energy to travel tomorrow? Nothing will happen tonight."

Seeing how certain she was, Yue Fei was filled with doubt, but he couldn't stay in Qin Zhen's room any longer, so he had no choice but to give up and just reminded himself to be more careful at night.

After nightfall, Qin Zhen slept fully clothed. She hadn't been asleep long when she heard frequent footsteps on the roof. She patiently tried to fall back asleep, but the footsteps gradually turned into sounds of fighting, growing increasingly intense. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she got up, jumped out of the window, and climbed onto the roof.

"Stop! All of you, stop right now! Your light-footed skills are terrible, yet you're climbing on roofs and tearing off tiles. You're disturbing everyone's sleep!"

Qin Zhen suddenly appeared on the roof and stood on the edge of the eaves with his arms crossed, glaring at the three people fighting. Although they were all dressed in black, their figures made it clear that it was the siblings and the three people in the black hat who were fighting.

As soon as Qin Zhen finished speaking, the three people on the rooftop looked at each other in bewilderment.

The brother and sister among them are the infamous assassins known as "Qiu Shui" in the martial arts world. They come and go without a trace, and after the crime, they only leave behind maple leaves with the words "Qiu Shui" written on them. Few people know that Qiu Shui is actually two people, a brother and sister!

Another martial arts master wearing a black straw hat, Long Daxia, is also a well-known figure in the Zhenhai Gang. He was able to hold his own against Qiu Shui for so long, so his martial arts skills must be superb. However... the three of them were actually looked down upon by a little girl!

The three people, startled, all looked at Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen reached down to his neck and pulled out a bronze token. In the center of the token was a flame pattern that seemed to be burning and leaping out.

"Seeing the beacon fire order is like seeing the sect leader himself! Qiu Shui, why don't you obey the order at once!"

The two men, one tall and one thin, were startled, but upon seeing the beacon fire token reflecting the bronze glow, they immediately bowed their heads and knelt on one knee. Their two young voices said in unison, "Qiu Shui greets the leader. May the Holy Beacon Fire Sect bring blessings for generations to come, and may the leader and holy maiden live as long as the heavens!"

Whether it was the cold night wind or Qin Zhen's lack of clothing, she felt a chill running through her body and quickly stopped the brother and sister from chanting, saying, "No need, no need, we can say that when we see your leader. I just want to get some sleep. Please stop."

"Yes, sir!"

"Haha..." Having just dealt with the brother and sister, the black-hatted hero Long laughed wildly and said, "Ji Wuhuan is really funny. He actually passed the Beacon Fire Token to a little kid. I think your Beacon Fire Demonic Sect's fate is sealed. All three of you, come and die!"

Just as he finished speaking and was about to step forward to make a move, he saw a "hidden weapon" flying towards him. He raised his knife to meet it, and with a crisp "clang" sound, his knife was broken in two!

==========================================

Chinese traditions are still deeply ingrained. So many people went home for Qingming Festival. Yesterday, I endured a six-hour train ride to get home, but when I got off, I was so touched to see my mom and three aunts waiting for me. My mom is still sick...

Volume Two: Eagle Soars Through the Sky 066 I'd Rather Be a Fool

With two "thumps," the "hidden weapon" landed, revealing a dark, square sign.

Looking at the black plaque that had landed at his feet, "Black Hat" exclaimed in shock, "Could this be the Alliance Leader's Qiankun Token?"

Qin Zhen scratched his head and said weakly, "I'm really sorry, I forgot that the Qiankun Token is indestructible. I threw it out carelessly and it actually broke Master Long's Nine Dragon Blade. I'm really sorry!"

"Who...are you?"

"I am astonished!" asked Master Long. Even the Qiu Shui siblings, who were waiting on the side, were also focused on waiting for the answer. They all wanted to know how the "Qiankun Token" and the "Feng Huo Token," which are irreconcilable between good and evil, could appear at the same time, and even in the hands of a little girl!

Qin Zhen took back the two tokens, wiped them clean, and said, "These are the ones I won with great difficulty when I was gambling! Their original owners all said that I could use them however I wanted, and now I'm going to use them to order you all to go back to your rooms and sleep. Stop messing around on the roof, and go do what you were supposed to do tomorrow morning!"

"..."

Only the occasional spring breeze blows by; at this moment, all is silent, the autumn waters are speechless, and even the great hero Long is speechless.

Qiu Shui and her brother wondered, "What is the Master like when he gambles?"

Master Long pondered, "Would the Alliance Leader really lose to this kid in a bet?"

Meanwhile, Yue Fei, who was observing from the shadows, was also deep in thought: "How can my sister be so incredibly powerful?"

Qin Zhen yawned and said to the hero Long, whose precious sword had been broken, "Hero Long, your sword... let the Alliance Leader compensate you with an even better one. Don't listen to his nonsense. The big scar on your face wasn't caused by Ji Wuhuan's poison. It was because the Alliance Leader, when he was competing with Ji Wuhuan in poisons, accidentally gave you the wrong formula. You should go ask him for the antidote..."

The face of Master Long, hidden under his black straw hat, changed color several times, until it was so distorted that it was impossible to tell what color it was, before he finally growled from his throat, "Is this true?"

Qin Zhen then took out the Qiankun Token and said, "Yes, yes, I swear by the Qiankun Token..."

Before Qin Zhen could continue, the Great Hero Long let out a long howl and leaped into the air, his resentful echo faintly heard in the desolate night: "Su Mufei... prepare to die..."

Looking at the spot where Master Long had disappeared, Qin Zhen silently repented in his heart: Third Senior Brother, I'm sorry for revealing your embarrassing secret...

"Um, how should I address you?"

The boy suddenly spoke up and asked Qin Zhen, who blinked and replied, "This is such a failure... Aren't you Ji Wuhuan's people? I thought you came here specifically to pick me up..."

"Huh?" The brother and sister were both surprised, then said awkwardly, "The cult leader only said two sentences to us last month, and didn't mention anyone coming to visit him..."

Qin Zhen rubbed his forehead and said, "Were you driven out of the mountain by him?"

The girl looked aggrieved and replied, "Yes, the cult leader thought we were disturbing his peace and quiet, so he kicked us out!"

Qin Zhen immediately suggested, "Perfect, perfect! I'm going to see him tomorrow. Yiwulü Mountain is too big. You can lead the way for me."

The boy said happily, "Great! Can you take us to see the cult leader?"
