Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Zhou Jin smiled, "I think we should be able to have a safe journey. Even if there are troubles, we can deal with them as they come. Since we are going, we should go openly. If they dare to block my way, I can find a way to destroy them."

Hearing this, several people were stunned, "Brother Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Could it be that Zhou Jin has a hidden card that they don't know about?

With the limited foundation of Changning Marquis Mansion, it seems that it is not enough to fight against those bandits and robbers in Qingshui County, right?

After all, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

"Haha, it cannot be said, it cannot be said." Zhou Jin shook his head. When he was about to come, His Majesty summoned him.

Firstly, Emperor Kangping showed his favor.

Secondly, Emperor Kangping personally gave Zhou Jin some trump cards so that he would not be completely in the dark when he arrived there.

Emperor Kangping is worthy of being the emperor of the entire Kang State.

Although Qingshui County was in chaos and even had two county magistrates die, Emperor Kangping did not act on impulse.

Focus on the most important things first, deal with the rebellion at home and the northern barbarians abroad.

Now the Beirong are obedient and the north is stable.

The South has also been taken care of and is very obedient. Now we can finally focus on taking care of the West.

Although there was no overt action before, it had already started secretly.

There are several undercover agents from Jinlinwei who have become powerful figures in the houses of several big bandits in Qingshui County.

Able to provide various information for Zhou Jin's use.

Xie Jin and Yuan Zhen were somewhat envious of His Majesty's deep favor with the Emperor. Since Jian was in the Emperor's favor, he must have given Zhou Jin many privileges.

Wang Shiwen followed with a smile on his face, but when he saw Zhou Jin's pretentious look, he felt sick to his stomach.

If you want to pretend, then just pretend. Let’s see how long you can pretend!

Jealousy increased little by little. Even though Zhou Jin did not do anything, Wang Shiwen still saw it and thought that Zhou Jin was showing off.

He was just unlucky. If possible, he would definitely do better than Zhou Jin.

Xie Jin just envied Zhou Jin for having a good father, but when he thought of his wife's "dream prophecy", it seemed that even if he didn't have a good father, it would be nice to have a good wife.

Compared with Yuan Zhen and Zhou Jin, except that his family has no title, they are actually not bad either. They are from a family of scholars, a wealthy and high-ranking official.

Zhou Jin saved his life, and with the guidance of his father and elder brother at home, he almost obeyed Zhou Jin's words.

Two months passed in a flash, from February to April.

Because we walked slowly, everyone's bodies adapted and even the children did not get sick.

The further we walked, the more desolate and drier the place became.

The powder on Gu Xirong's face kept falling off, and when she looked in the mirror, she scared herself.

Seeing that Gu Xiling was not wearing any makeup, Gu Xiling asked, "Sister Xiling, don't you think that not wearing makeup will affect your appearance?"

Gu Xiling heard this and shook her head and laughed, "I look like this anyway, what's the impact? Besides, my husband and I are in love and have a good relationship, and we are not just attracted by each other's looks."

"Besides, beauty fades easily and its blooming period is fleeting. How long can you seduce a man with your beauty? Besides, the weather is dry now, and putting too much powder on your face will increase the wrinkles on your face."

"It's wrinkles and tans that make people look old, not whether or not they use makeup. If you believe me, just wash off your face and use some cream to keep your skin moisturized."

Pei Jiuniang and Liu Sanniang had also discovered that makeup would cause powder to fall off. Seeing that Gu Xiling didn't use makeup, they stopped using it too.

I found that my complexion is better than before. It seems that makeup can only change the appearance of skin color but cannot really make it look better.

Gu Xirong touched her face and was a little hesitant, but in the end, she was afraid of getting wrinkles on her face, so she had no choice but to learn from Gu Xiling.

I always carry my sunscreen with me when I go out, as I’m particularly afraid of getting tanned by the sun.

The journey was quiet and peaceful.

There were few pedestrians, let alone caravans, on the road.

After arriving in Qingshui County, I was saddened to see the dilapidated city gate and the low city wall.

Yuan Zhen exclaimed, "Brother Zhou, we have had a smooth journey. You are right. Those bandits are scared and have gone into hiding."

Xie Jin was also surprised. "During the whole journey, I didn't dare to sleep soundly. I was always ready to fight. Not to mention robbers, there was not even any petty theft."

Wang Shiwen opened his folding fan and smiled. "Qingshui County is a little desolate and poor, but it doesn't seem to be as brutal as the legend says."

Zhou Jin frowned slightly and looked up at the city gate. "On the contrary, the calmer it is, the more serious the situation is."

Wang Shiwen raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zhou, you are worrying too much, aren't you? Those bandits are just chickens and dogs, just rumors. Others may not be able to do anything to them, but now we have a large number of people and a strong background, those people can only avoid our sharp edge and keep a low profile."

Xie Jin did not refute Zhou Jin, but thought carefully. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, "Brother Wang, this is wrong. Only a military with strict military discipline can enforce orders. If it is just a group of rabble, arrogant bandits, there will definitely be some who will show off their presence."

"But these people did not show up, not even the petty thieves. This is enough to prove that someone has controlled all the bandits and some people in the gray area, which is not a good thing."

Yuan Zhen said quickly: "Yes, a mob is not scary, but bandits with organizational skills who can do this well are definitely not a mob. We really can't underestimate them."

Wang Shiwen, the chief clerk, was unhappy because he was refuted by Zhou Jin, Xie Jin, and Yuan Zhen.

He found himself excluded.

No matter what you say, you will be refuted.

Zhou Jin just glanced at Wang Shiwen and ignored him. "Entering this city will be our real competition and contest."

Zhou Jin's calmness gave Xie Jin and Yuan Zhen more confidence.

At this time, Master Sun came over, put his hand to his mouth, and whispered a few words in Zhou Jin's ear.

Zhou Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep.

At this time, a minor official on the tower was a little nervous, "Brother Hu, if we do this, will the county magistrate arrest us?"

Brother Hu's face was grim. "The big boss asked us to hold back, but I killed two county magistrates myself. If there are two more, I can kill them too. If I don't kill them now, how can I do whatever I want in the city when the county magistrate controls the entire county?"

The city gate officer thought of Brother Hu's bravery and immediately gained confidence. "Brother Hu is right. Even if a dragon comes, it has to coil. If he is obedient, fine. If not, send him to see the King of Hell."

Brother Hu laughed, "Right! When they reach the city gate, don't open the gate, shoot arrows and pour hot water on them immediately."

The city gate officer responded, "Yes, Brother Tiger."

As the team got closer, Brother Tiger's expression upstairs became more and more ferocious. He licked his bloody thick lips with his thick tongue, like a bloodthirsty tiger.
