Xiong Jinshui couldn't help looking at Pang Xiao nervously. This is the one-word hall of Prince Zhongshun. As long as he speaks, he can decide his life or death.
Pang Xiao's face was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion at all. This kind of situation made Xiong Jinshui the most fearful. If Pang Xiao was willing to express his anger, at least it meant that he was not so angry that he was speechless.
But what can he do? The sage made a decree, who questioned half a sentence, don't you want your head
"Okay, everyone, don't be impatient." Pang Xiao finally spoke after being silent for a long time, the noisy scene finally quieted down, and everyone looked at Pang Xiao in unison, waiting for his orders.
Xiong Jinshui swallowed hard. At this time, he deeply felt that as long as Pang Xiao said a word, these soldiers under his command would immediately turn back regardless of the consequences! And he will also become a ghost under the knife!
"The sage has a decree, and the ministers should only accept the decree. The sage's decision must have its own purpose. How can the ministers question it? You can't say more!"
Xiong Jinshui let out a long sigh of relief. He felt a sense of ease in surviving after a catastrophe and escaping his life. He hurriedly saluted and went out, as if a hungry wolf was chasing him.
One of Xie Yue and Xu Wei stood by Pang Xiao's side, seeing Xiong Jinshui leaving, he couldn't help but sigh with worry.
"Eunuch Xiong will go back, and maybe he will add fuel to the matter here. At that time, I still don't know how the emperor misunderstood and how to treat the prince."
"Let him go." Pang Xiao held the imperial decree in his hand, and his fingertips turned white due to the force. "Anyway, I have reached this point. Even if I don't do anything, I will still be suspected of having bad intentions."
"My lord, the emperor's choice is really a big week's comfort. The most important thing at the moment is that the Tartars are about to break through the capital. We should enter the city gate with a handsome army, and go straight through the capital to the north of the city to meet with the Dingbei. The most important thing is to discuss how to repel the Tartars." Xu Weizhi frowned.
"This king also knows what to do now, but the emperor may be waiting for me to make another disrespectful act of disrespect."
Everyone was silent for a while.
This time, if you resist the decree, it will be different from before. In the past, the purpose of resisting the decree was to save his daughter-in-law, and he did not harm the interests of others, but he refused to return to Beijing by edict. But now if he resists the decree and enters the capital directly, it will make people look like he is trying to force the palace to usurp the throne, and the history books will criticize him and all his followers.
Pang Xiao must not allow himself to leave such a stain.
Fortunately, Ji Zeyu used his troops like a god, and Pang Xiao was quite aware of his ability. Right now, he could last for a while, enough for him to march around Jiashao Valley in a hurry.
When Pang Xiao was discussing with his advisers, the decree of the sage gradually spread in the army. When they heard that the sage had made them wait for so many days, and finally gave a detour order, everyone was very puzzled.
Those with a straighter temper have already begun to sigh.
"Isn't it afraid of our lord? The lord brought us into Beijing to kill the Tartars, but the sage has such a small stomach. It is really chilling to prevent us from being like a thief."
"Okay, this is not something we can say." He came out cautiously to stop it, and changed the subject: "What did the lord say? Are you really going to detour Lu Jia Shaogu?"
"The king wants the minister to die. The minister has to die, what can the lord do?"
Everyone was a little silent for a while, and some people couldn't help but think, it would be great if the prince was willing to lead them into the capital.
Such conversations are taking place in every corner of the Pingnan Army camp.
Qin Yining was lying on the wooden couch of the tent, holding the quilt and looking at the door in a trance.
Li Qitian had such a will, but he really didn't trust Pang Xiao at all. If Pang Xiao really wanted to take a detour to Jiashao Valley, he probably wouldn't take her with him.
Intellectually, Qin Yining knew that she was a female class. She went to the front line without any help, and might become a burden and weakness for Pang Xiao, but emotionally, she was used to being with Pang Xiao. Now that we have to separate again, it is really reluctant in my heart.
When Pang Xiao came back, he saw that Ji Yun and Bingtang were both quietly sewing needles at the door, while Qin Yining was lying on his side wrapped in a quilt.
He just pretended that Qin Yining was asleep, and even made a booing gesture, avoiding Bingtang and Jiyun salute, and walked to the wooden bedside.
Qin Yining heard footsteps and immediately looked over.
"Did I wake you up?" Pang Xiao sat down with a smile.
Qin Yining shook his head, "Why, I didn't sleep, I was just thinking about something." Turning over and sitting up, he casually folded his long messy hair, "When are you going to leave for Jiashao Valley?"
"The imperial decree has been issued, and it is only when we leave early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will be misunderstood that I intend to rebel against the decree."
Qin Yining nodded and said worriedly: "Time is running out. With so many people, food and grass are also a problem. Can you handle it?"
Pang Xiao squeezed her face with his big hands, "Don't worry, I can handle it all. The only thing I worry about is you. Sister Yi, I can't take you with me when I go to the front line. If it was in the past, I wish I could go somewhere. I will bring you all with me, so that I can feel at ease in front of my eyes, but this time I have to fight a bloody battle with the Tartars, and I am afraid that I will not be able to protect your integrity."
"I know." Qin Yining said with a smile, "I'm not stupid. I'm four months pregnant now. What can I do with you on the battlefield? Instead, it's inconvenient to take care of my body, and I'm afraid it will affect my health. child."
Pang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that she was so open-minded, he chose the most reasonable path to go without persuading her. He really liked and admired her. But Qin Yining was going to be separated from him, and he was really reluctant.
"Sister Yi, where are you going?"
Qin Yining thought for a while, and said, "I want to go to Jingang. There, Mr. Chen is upright, where we lived for a while, and it is easy to get along with the people, and it is close to the sea, so we can deal with everything, and we also go wherever we go. The hub to the south is the only place to dispatch food and grass. You have to take your troops and horses to outflank the Tartars, and the food and grass have to keep up. Just go and leave the food and grass to me to take care of it.”
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining in surprise: "Are you here to manage food and armaments?"
"You think I can't do it?" Qin Yining raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at him.
The watery eyes with long eyelashes and flickering eyes really made one's heart itch.
Pang Xiao couldn't help hugging her and said with a smile: "I naturally trust your ability, I'm worried about your body. Originally, I wanted Mr. Xie to stay in charge of food, grass and armaments for me. In that case, why not? I will hand it over to you at this time, and I will leave Mr. Xie to assist, you can also discuss it, and you will not have a headache by yourself when you encounter problems."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "This is naturally good. Mr. Xie is resourceful and thorough in his work. If I think about it this way, I won't be too tired, so I can find a place in Jingang to give birth with peace of mind."
"Yeah." Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining, and for a long time Fang sighed, holding her hands and kissing her lips lightly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you during this production. I want to…”
"Don't say that." Qin Yining nodded to the corner of his mouth and smiled: "You are here for serious business, not for sightseeing. Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself, and you will have more when we meet next time. son or daughter."
Pang Xiao wanted to nod again and again, the corners of his mouth rose for a while, and he couldn't help but smile.
Qin Yining was amused by his foolishness, and comforted himself in his heart that they were only separated for a short time, and they could be reunited after the war ended.
Pang Xiao turned over and lay down, talking to Qin Yining in a low voice, analyzing the current situation, and discussing what might happen in the future.
As for Bingtang and Jiyun, they had already gone to salute Qin Yining.
Pang Xiao brought ten Jinghu guards for Qin Yining, and Qin Yining also had people from Qingtian Alliance and Yinmian spy beside him, so his safety was guaranteed.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yining changed into a lime-blue fine cotton cape, Yaqing's long hair was loosely tied into a bun, standing beside the carriage with a smile, looking up at Pang Xiao.
"Okay, you still have important things to do. The Pingnan Army will leave later, so don't stay here. I'll get in the car and leave."
Pang Xiao nodded and said in a low voice, "Don't work too hard. If you have something to do, leave it to Mr. Xie. Everything must be done with your own body first, and the rest is secondary. You don't have to feel at ease here. The second is to cooperate with Alan, I have confidence."
"I know. I will try my best to prepare your food."
Pang Xiao smiled, "I know your abilities, but don't be too nervous, maybe someone else will do the food and salaries for the sake of honor."
Qin Yining laughed, "Why don't I believe it."
Seeing her like this, Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
Pang Xiao picked up Qin Yining, put it into the carriage carefully, and trimmed her hair again, smiling: "It's getting late, you should go quickly, so as not to delay the stay on the road."
"Go back, too." Qin Yining tidied his neckline for him and smiled, "Although it is important to win the battle, your life is more important, so take care of yourself, but don't take it easy at every age, let alone encounter anything. You just want to stand up for it yourself, let alone sacrifice yourself to save others. You promise me, don't make me worry. "
Pang Xiao took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I promise."
The two stared at each other and smiled at each other, as if they both engraved each other's appearance in their hearts.
Xie Yue and Jinghuwei walked to the carriage.
Pang Xiao bowed his head to Xie Yue again, and the meaning of entrustment was clearly in his eyes. Xie Yue had followed Pang Xiao for a long time, so he could naturally understand, and bowed his hands seriously with a serious look.
"Don't worry, my lord."
Pang Xiao nodded, looked at Qin Yining and said, "Go, take good care of yourself, we can also spread more letters."
Qin Yining responded. Seeing that Pang Xiao had already got off the carriage, she was still looking at herself intently. The salute was both happy and sour. Long pain was better than short pain. She put down the warm curtain and urged, "Let's go."
