Pang Xiao nodded with a smile and caressed her cheek with a big hand, "I always knew that you are an open-minded person. You don't care about trivial matters. I was worried that you hated Boss Qiu, and you don't want to deal with her anymore."
"It's nothing if you don't interact with her, but I like Brother Yan very much, and Young Master Mu has helped us a lot. The relationship is so complicated, how can we cut it off completely? As for being open-minded, I can't talk about it, I'm stingy. Well, it's just that I know what's most important right now."
Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing, "I don't see how stingy you are. It's very embarrassing to think that wood is caught in the middle, and I don't want him to be in such a dilemma. Next time I see Boss Qiu, I'll give you some more good looks."
"The next time she comes here, maybe she will avoid Mu Gongzi." Qin Yining thought about Qiu Feishan's temperament and could not help sighing again, "She is a proud person, and Mu Gongzi was attacked twice in front of you. After losing face, how can I bear it? I don’t know how sad I will be when I go back. When I come to you again, I have to wait until her heart is completely calm and she has passed that hurdle.”
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows, convinced of Qin Yining's words.
Mu Jinghu is a kind person. Of course, he hopes that his friends can be happy. It seems that he will think about Mu Jinghu more in the future, and he will save her face when he sees Qiu Feishan. Even Sister Yi, a woman can be so open-minded, why does his big man want to hold on to the past and make his brother embarrassed
In the next few days, even if he was on his way, Pang Xiao would find an opportunity to free Mu Jinghu.
At first, Mu Jinghu was very resistant, but in the end, Xu was persuaded and often just kept silent.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining walked all the way to the capital, the same way they traveled for disaster relief. It goes without saying that the people along the way welcome and love them, and there are many people who joined the Pingnan Army. Originally, the 100,000 Pingnan Army started from the old capital, and when they arrived in the capital, the soldiers and horses that followed Pang Xiao had become two. Eighteen thousand.
That's a huge number!
When Li Qitian learned that Pang Xiao actually brought 280,000 horses and Chen Bing down, he jumped up from the dragon chair in the imperial study in shock, pointed at the spy who answered, and asked in a sharp voice:
"What? You mean, Pang Zhixi brought 280,000 horses back! Where did he get the money to support so many people!"
"On the way back to the Holy Spirit, when the lord came back along the way, there have always been wealthy households and squires donating money and food, and the common people followed them voluntarily. On the way back to Beijing, all the places where the lord gave relief, so he accepted the common people who joined the army all the way back. So far, the Pingnan Army has accepted 180,000 recruits."
Li Qitian only felt deeply tired for a while.
The teams of princes from all over the world are now under Ji Zeyu's subordinates, and they add up to only one hundred thousand. Pang Xiao alone brought back one hundred thousand elites and 180 thousand recruits of the Pingnan Army.
Once Pang Xiao has his back, Ji Zeyu and Gao Wenliang have to resist the Tartars, who else can control Pang Xiao? Wouldn't he be the emperor who stretched his neck and waited for Pang Xiao to cut him
He seemed to have seen the picture of Pang Xiaoshuai's army breaking into the city to directly force the palace.
Li Qitian's clothes were soaked in sweat, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The spy knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and waited for Li Qitian's orders.
After a long time, Li Qitian instructed Xiong Jinshui in a dry voice, "Go, urgently summon the ministers, I want to go to court."
"According to the order!" Xiong Jinshui listened to the order and ran out.
Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven and the spy clearly, Xiong Jinshui's heart was half cold. If Prince Zhongshun fought back, those who had served the Son of Heaven personally would probably lose their lives. Originally thought that serving the emperor is a great deed, but now why do you feel more and more that you have made a bad move
For the past few days, the Tatars have been besieging the capital, and Ji Zeyu's commanding army has resisted. The Beijing Medical Center and the nearby temples are helping to treat injuries, and people often see the tragic conditions of those injuries.
It was the first time they were so close to the war, and the first time they felt the shadow of death so clearly. Everyone is worried, and some people feel that the capital is no longer safe and plan to move their families. Some people also think that the capital is the heart of Da Zhou, and if it falls here, it will be useless for them to escape wherever they go.
Just when people were panicking, he had already attended a small court meeting, but the emperor had urgently arranged a big court meeting. Some officials from various ministries were still on errands, and some had already returned home. As soon as they got the news, they hurried back and rushed back.
The people are used to the calm appearance of the high officials. It is the first time that they are so anxious this time. Many people are secretly discussing, is there something major happening in the court? Are the Tatars about to come in
Li Qitian had no time to think about other things, and when the officials gathered, he immediately said: "Pang Zhixi has a commanding army of 280,000 people, and it is expected that they will attack the city tomorrow. What do you think? You can speak freely, and I will never blame you. "
"Your Majesty, the old minister thought that Prince Zhongshun was dedicated to serving the country, and this time he brought troops to Prince Qin. If the prince and the Duke of Dingbei join hands, the Tartars will be defeated. This is really a happy event!"
"Yeah, my lord, the Tartars have been suppressed by Ding Beihou, and with the addition of Prince Zhongshun, I will definitely win the great week."
Some people have always supported Pang Xiao to take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Hu Ben army. The sage has always been unwilling, but the war has reached the capital, and once they are defeated, they will all become slaves to the country! At this time, it is natural to consider whether this battle can be won or not, and other things are not considered at the moment.
Li Qitian remained calm, but his slightly frowning brows and the constantly changing angle of his sitting posture under his irritability could clearly see Pang Xiao's disapproval.
So someone stood up and persuaded: "Sacred Master, don't listen to the shallow words of these people. The Sage has ordered the world's soldiers and horses to King Qin, and Prince Zhongshun's decree to relieve the disaster has not been done, and he is not the commander of the Pingnan Army. Bringing troops here is really ulterior motive! Once the wolf is brought into the room, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
These words entered Li Qitian's heart, but he did not immediately express his position.
At this moment, the sturdy military general stood up, his eyes were like copper bells, and his big fists were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to rush up and punch the man just now.
"Go to your mother to lead the wolf into the house. When the lord brought the soldiers and horses to fight, you were still biting your nails under your mother's skirt! You only know how to flatter and flatter the coward! If you have the ability, you can also bring a knife to kill the Tartars! At this time, you slandered Prince Zhongshun. , what are you thinking about!"
"You! Rude and reckless man, how can the Holy One let you go wild!"
"Bah! Stop provoking my relationship with the monarch and ministers!"
"What I'm talking about now is about Prince Zhongshun, what are you talking about! Pingnan's army only has 100,000 people, but Prince Zhongshun has brought back 280,000 people. Isn't it obvious at a glance? If it is true If you don't have an outside heart, why are you so eager to recruit troops!"
"That is the people's gratitude to the prince for saving his life. How many people have the prince saved this way! The people want to repay and voluntarily follow the prince to fight the Tartars. That is the appeal of the prince and the benevolence and righteousness of the people. Compared with you, this will only point fingers. Even the common people who carry hoes are a hundred times stronger than you!"
…
Seeing the situation below, it was the same as the previous time. Those who supported Pang Xiao and those who opposed Pang Xiao were arguing again, and there was no help at all. Li Qitian rubbed his eyebrows irritably.
He is extremely regretful now.
If he didn't arrange for Pang Xiao to go to disaster relief, where would he have the chance to invite people to buy people's hearts? It's good now, not to mention that his arrangements have been mixed up, and the appearance of Pang Xiao still won the hearts of the people, but he has become a bad person.
Pang Xiao was simply born to clash with him!
"Enough." Li Qitian stood up, looked down at the two of them who had stopped arguing and stood with their hands lowered, turned around and walked away with a cold snort.
The ministers looked at each other in dismay, and had never seen the saint leave halfway up.
Could it be that the emperor urgently called them to have a court meeting just to be loyal to the prince
Even the Tatar's presentation was so tight, and I never saw the Holy One so anxious!
There are those smart people who have already seen his taboos from Li Qitian's reaction.
It seems that compared to foreign enemies, Prince Zhongshun is more taboo than the Holy One.
Qin Yining was standing aside holding Ji Yun's hand, watching Jing Zhe and the others set up a tent neatly.
In recent days, she vomited so badly that she almost vomited when she smelled the rice soup. In addition, Qin Yining was also exhausted after several tossing and traveling.
The camps of the 280,000-square-meter Southern Army stretched for miles. I believed that Li Qitian could clearly see the tide-like group of people standing above the city gate.
At this point, the Tartars didn't have time to attack, everything was in time, Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, exhaustion quickly swept in. The hand holding Ji Yun almost fell asleep.
Pang Xiao took someone to check closely in the camp. When he came back, Qin Yining had already lay down and fell asleep.
Bingtang sat quietly by the side, and when she saw Pang Xiao lifted the curtain and bent over, he got up and saluted.
Pang Xiao waved his hand, first went to see how Qin Yining looked when he was sleeping, and then gave Bingtang a gesture to go out and say.
Bingtang nodded and followed Pang Xiao to not far from the tent.
"My lord? What are your orders?"
"Is the princess alright?"
"The princess looks weak, but her body is in good shape. In addition to the previous recuperation, the original loss when she gave birth to the two sons has been made up. It's just that this time, I'm a little tired. Let's recuperate for the time being, but it's not a big problem."
Pang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."
These days, with the new recruits brought back by the Pingnan Army, Pang Xiaozi is already busy and does not touch the ground, but fortunately Qin Yining doesn't have to worry about anything.
Just thinking about this, Hu Zi hurriedly came from outside, "Your Highness, the news of your return to Beijing has already spread. The emperor urgently convened a great court meeting, and I don't know what was discussed at the court meeting. In short, we have not received any orders here."
This is also to be expected. Li Qitian acts like this. He must think carefully before opening the first net and waiting for others to jump.
Hu Zi said worriedly: "My lord, do we have to wait for the orders of the sage, or just kill the Tartars without leaving behind?"
