Agente secreto Wind Boy - Capítulo 92
Despite her joy, Zhao Jiu pulled her excited younger sister aside and asked her mother, "Is there something going on in Bianjing this time?"
Qin Zhen nodded and said, "The Emperor has finally gotten married after so long. Although your father and I no longer concern ourselves with the affairs of the court and the royal family, you and Jin'er are still the Prince Rui and Princess Qingguo, bestowed by the Emperor. You must attend such a grand ceremony."
Zhao Jin suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Will I be able to see Brother Yun when I go back to Bianjing this time?"
"Of course."
Qin Zhen glanced at her daughter, understanding perfectly. Ever since Yue Yun rescued her from the lake when she was a child, she had never forgotten him. Last year, when Yue Fei came to visit Qin Zhen, he brought Yue Yun along. The two young girls were quite embarrassed to meet again.
Zhao Jiu and Yue Yun were very close. When Zhao Jiu first ventured out into the world a few years ago, he even invited Yue Yun to come along. Their relationship was closer than that of blood brothers. He was overjoyed to hear that they could finally meet again.
"Mother, I heard that Brother Yun passed the martial arts exam and became the top scholar. Is it true?"
Qin Zhen nodded with a smile. Zhao Jin smiled even more sweetly, but Zhao Jiu said with a depressed look, "Alas. How could Brother Yun do this? We agreed to roam the world together with swords in hand, but he went to join the army."
"You, you, it's one thing if you're not ambitious, but why drag others down with you? Yue Yun will naturally inherit his elder brother's mantle."
Zhao Jiu felt a little depressed when his mother criticized him for not being ambitious. How could she say he wasn't ambitious? He also had his own goal, which was to unify the martial arts world. But unfortunately, it was too easy for him. Three years ago, he defeated all the heroes. Su Mu insisted on passing the position of martial arts alliance leader to him, but he refused.
At this moment, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but start thinking about what he should do.
Before he could come up with an answer, the day had already arrived for them to set off. Qin Zhen sent Qingmei to take care of them and gave them many instructions before reluctantly seeing them off.
Turning around, she saw Zhao Gou standing behind her with a relaxed expression, and couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you worried about the two children?"
Zhao Gou remained relaxed and said unhurriedly, "They have grown up. Besides, there are people looking after them along the way at Linlang Pavilion. Why worry so much? If I have to say what I'm worried about, I'm more concerned about Jiu'er getting married."
Upon hearing his words, Qin Zhen said in a daze, "The children have all grown up so much. Jiu'er is already twenty years old. It's really time to think about his marriage."
Suddenly, Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm getting old, almost forty..."
Zhao Gou reached out and lifted Qin Zhen's chin, looking at her still wrinkle-free face, and said, "Who said you're old?"
Qin Zhen wanted to laugh again, but before she could laugh out loud, Zhao Gou kissed her lips. After Zhao Gou kissed her gently for a while, he looked at Qin Zhen again and teased, "After all these years, you still blush."
Qin Zhen looked embarrassed and muttered, "You old lecher..." Then she turned around and walked back, ignoring him.
Suddenly, Zhao Gou swept her up from behind and strode into the house. Qin Zhen heard Zhao Gou whisper in her ear, "It's rare for the two of us to be alone..."
Zhao Gou was in his prime, strong and healthy, and in just a few steps he carried Qin Zhen to the bed. As soon as Qin Zhen touched the bed, she sat up and said, "We've been married for so long, why are you still so impulsive?"
Zhao Gou had already thrown off his outer garment and walked towards Qin Zhen, saying, "What should I do? I always feel that I don't love you enough..."
Qin Zhen was suddenly pressed down by Zhao Gou, and feeling his heavy breathing, her heart skipped a beat. Zhao Gou carefully removed the hairpin behind Qin Zhen's ear, and immediately, Qin Zhen's black hair spread out on the pillow.
Zhao Gou couldn't help but bury his head in Qin Zhen's dark hair, turn his face to the side, and slowly kiss Qin Zhen's earlobe, his hands roaming restlessly. Zhao Gou's fingers deftly parted Qin Zhen's clothes, slipped inside, and grasped her full breasts.
Qin Zhen shuddered and whispered, "Don't do anything reckless, it's still daytime..."
"I love you regardless of day or night..."
The heat below was already pressing against Qin Zhen's lower abdomen. She could feel Zhao Gou's impatience. After her face flushed slightly, she also reached out and began to untie Zhao Gou's belt.
Just as the thunder was about to ignite a fire on the ground, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Madam, Magistrate Yang requests an audience."
Zhao Gou's face was ashen. Being interrupted like this was a terrible feeling. He angrily shouted at the door, "I won't see you! Get out!"
Qin Zhen chuckled and said, "Jin'er beat up Magistrate Yang's son, aren't you really going to go out and see him?"
Zhao Gou said fiercely, "Those despicable people, father and son, deserved to be beaten to death! What's the point of seeing them!" Then, his tone softened, "Let's continue..."
Qin Zhen, seeing how amusing his expression was, was already doubled over with laughter and couldn't continue. Zhao Gou, furious, said, "Damn it, let's move! Let's move to a place where it's just the two of us!"
Volume Two: Eagle Soars Through the Sky Chapter 177 Similar to the original.
Zhao Jiu, Zhao Jin, and a group of servants from the manor set off lightly. Zhao Jiu, along with Jian Jin and Qing Mei, rode in a simple carriage, and no one would recognize that this was the prince and princess's entourage traveling to the capital. They traveled very slowly, mainly because Zhao Jin always wanted to explore the sights wherever they went before continuing on their way.
That day, they finally arrived at Jiankang Prefecture (present-day Nanjing). Zhao Jin was eager to see the painted boats on the Qinhuai River and the most beautiful woman that Zhao Jiu had mentioned, so he stayed at the inn in Jiankang Prefecture and refused to leave.
Qingmei had always doted on Zhao Jin, but the place Zhao Jin wanted to go was a place a woman shouldn't go, so how could she agree? Even Zhao Jiu didn't want to take Zhao Jin to such a brothel. This stalemate lasted for three days, until Zhao Jin even resorted to her signature hunger strike, finally forcing everyone to agree to take her there for a look.
After changing into men's clothes, Zhao Jin waved his folding fan in a pretentious manner, looking even more like a noble young master than Zhao Jiu.
"Brother, how is it? No one should recognize me like this now."
Zhao Jiu didn't want to discourage her; she could only look foolish, and anyone with eyes could tell she was a woman disguised as a man.
"Hurry up and follow me. We agreed to go around in one go and then come back!"
Zhao Jin nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, quickly following her brother's footsteps towards the Qinhuai River. Halfway there, Zhao Jin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother, since you've been to places like this, does that mean Brother Yun has been here too? You...you're all bad men!"
Zhao Jiu was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "Our purpose in coming here is different from those people's. We came here to rescue people!"
Back then, in their youth, they heard that there were women being abducted on pleasure boats, so they bravely went to rescue them. However, despite causing chaos on the Qinhuai River, they failed to save a single woman. This was because none of the women being sold wanted to go with them.
Recalling their impulsive actions back then, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but shake his head. They only knew one side of the story. Even if they had rescued those women from the pleasure boat, where could they have gone? They would eventually have to go back anyway. Why bother going through all that trouble and getting beaten up? Naturally, no one wanted to go with them.
A soft, melodious tune drifted into their ears, and Zhao Jin excitedly ran towards the riverbank. Zhao Jiu, worried that she would get lost, hurriedly chased after her. A large, dazzlingly beautiful flower boat slowly approached the shore, immediately causing a commotion on the bank.
Some young masters who had been waiting on the shore complained to the madam who came out of the boat, "Mama, you're so late today. Is Miss Peiru feeling alright? Don't make us wait in vain again!"
The madam, dressed in bright red, said with a beaming smile, "Young Master Cheng, don't be impatient. I was just bringing Peiru over from the other courtyard, which is why I was delayed in opening! Come, come, please get on the boat. Peiru is waiting for you inside."
Seeing that Young Master Cheng had boarded the boat, Zhao Jin jumped on without a word, and Zhao Jiu had no choice but to accompany him. The two found a place to sit inside the boat, and Zhao Jin said, "This woman named Pei Ru seems to be quite famous. I want to see today just how beautiful she is."
The group sat in small groups at tables inside the boat for a while. Then, the painted boat gradually moved away from the shore, and a woman in green robes with tinkling ornaments came out. She bowed to the group and said, "I was unwell a few days ago and went back to my villa to recuperate. I'm sorry to have troubled you all. Today, I've prepared a few little tunes to sing for you gentlemen."
Pei Ru was indeed very beautiful, but her appearance always seemed somewhat vulgar. After listening to her sing two folk songs, Zhao Jin gradually lost interest and grew tired of it. However, the pleasure boat was in the middle of the river, and they couldn't leave immediately, so the two of them had to go outside the cabin to get some fresh air.
"I thought it was some special place, but it's so boring. I don't know why these men like it so much. I'm never coming here again."
Zhao Jiu listened to his sister's complaints and just smiled. The reason why the pleasure boat attracted so many men was not because of those few songs; Zhao Jin certainly didn't know the secret, and Zhao Jiu wouldn't let her know either.
The two were chatting idly about the lights on the shore when suddenly a dark shadow flashed past the corner of the boat. Zhao Jiu's heart skipped a beat. This person's lightness skill was really good. He wondered what this person was doing sneakily on the boat.
Zhao Jiu said to Zhao Jin, "Stand here and wait for me. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back."
Before Zhao Jin could speak, Zhao Jiu vanished in the blink of an eye. Zhao Jiu followed the trail of the man in black to the cabin at the bottom of the ship, where he saw a shadow struggling against the large lock on the tightly closed wooden door.
Zhao Jiu asked, "What are you doing?"
The man in black was startled, turned around, drew his sword to protect his chest, and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Jiu chuckled and said, "I'm just a passerby, curious about what you're doing."
"Since you're just passing by, don't meddle! Get out of the way!"
Zhao Jiu listened intently and heard soft sobbing coming from the cabin. It must have been some untrained young singers being held captive. The scene seemed familiar, so he asked knowingly, "You want to save these women?"
The man in black was taken aback. He looked Zhao Jiu up and down and, seeing that he didn't seem to be from the pleasure boat, said, "I'm here to save them. Those madams are heartless and only kidnap young girls. I'm going to save them from this inferno!"
Zhao Jiu heard the man in black's voice sound childish and guessed that he was young, so he asked, "What good will it do you to rescue these women? Will you take them home? They were sold here by their families. They have nowhere else to go but here. They won't go with you."
"How could that be? They'll definitely come with me!"
The man in black was still hesitant and didn't believe it, but he was surprised to find that Zhao Jiu had already appeared beside him. He saw Zhao Jiu gently grasp the large lock, and the iron core was broken, causing the lock to fall to the ground.
Behind the wooden door, about five or six girls in their early teens were huddled together, looking quite pitiful.
Zhao Jiu pointed at them and said to the man in black, "Look, they're right in front of you. If you don't believe me, go and ask them if they'll come with you."
The man in black strode in. Zhao Jiu stood with his hands behind his back in front of the door and listened to them arguing inside the cabin for a while. Sure enough, the man in black walked out dejectedly.
"How so?" Zhao Jiu asked in return.
The answer is self-evident.
Seeing the dejected look on the man in black, who looked exactly like Zhao Jiu back then, full of enthusiasm to do good deeds but no one appreciated it, he felt extremely disappointed.
"Haha...Alright, there are plenty of opportunities to do good deeds, don't be discouraged." He said, patting the man in black on the head.
The man in black stepped aside, looking up at Zhao Jiu in surprise. The ship's lights shone through the gaps onto the man's face, and now that the two were standing close, Zhao Jiu could finally see his appearance clearly. Although he had guessed from the voice that the man in black was young, he was truly surprised when he saw the slightly childlike, tender face in front of him, thinking: This kid is at most about the same age as Jin'er.
Zhao Jiu was still marveling inwardly when he suddenly heard a furious roar: "Who's down there!"
"Oh no, let's go!" Without saying a word, Zhao Jiu grabbed the man in black and quickly made his escape.
Volume Two: Eagle Soars Through the Sky Chapter 178 It Turns Out He Was Him
The cabin door was pried open, and the thugs on the pleasure boat immediately began chasing Zhao. However, the thugs' rudimentary skills were negligible, and Zhao easily dodged them.
Originally, everything was simple. If the two of them could just blend back into the guests on the ship, the thugs would naturally not know who broke the wooden door. But the man in black was wearing a "conspicuous" set of night clothes, and Zhao Jiu didn't realize it until he was pulled into the light...
Zhao Jin looked at her brother and the men in black behind him in surprise. Turning her head, she saw several burly men chasing after them and asked, "Brother... are they chasing you?"
"We'll talk about it later..."
With one hand holding Zhao Jin and the other dragging the reluctant man in black who was following him, Zhao Jiu took off into the air, lightly touching the water with his feet, and flew towards the shore, eliciting screams of astonishment from countless people.
Zhao Jin was also quite excited and shouted, "Brother, run faster!"
Her shout instantly transformed the tense atmosphere into a playful one. Zhao Jiu, in high spirits, led the two of them back into the river, where they splashed in the water and drifted downstream...
When Zhao Jiu released the two men on either side and stood panting on the riverbank in the suburbs, Zhao Jin and the man in black were already laughing so hard they were bent over.
"Brother, this is so much fun! The way they looked at us, like we were monsters, it was hilarious..."
"They're monsters, after all. How can someone carry two people and fly freely across the river, and so fast at that!"
Unconsciously, the man in black started talking lively, and there was even a hint of girlish coquettishness in his tone!
