When Qin Yining brought Ji Yun to the front of Ning Yuan with a half-worn oil-paper umbrella, he saw Qi Tai, who was wearing a royal blue muslin cloth and holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Seeing Qin Yining come out, Qi Tai quickly put down his umbrella and saluted, "Fourth Miss."
"Get up quickly, Uncle An is an old man who has been by my father's side for many years, but don't salute like this, it will break me." Qitai's family name is An.
Qi Tai refused to listen, and after bowing respectfully, he said with a smile, "Master Hou has ordered the villain to come and send you a letter, saying that there is something important to tell you, this time Zi Hou Ye was invited by the emperor to speak in the palace, and he had no time to spare. I was afraid that he would be free in the evening, so I specially ordered the villain to come and tell you, please wait at the foot of the mountain tonight at Xu Shi, the Hou Ye will come to see you ."
Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile, "I see. Did my father say anything about it? Why can't he take the time to go up the mountain? The old lady and the family miss my father very much."
"It's really too busy. To tell you the truth, even if the villain is walking around with the master, these days are also busy hitting the back of the head." Qitai looked around and saw that there was no outsider, so he lowered his voice, " The emperor is afraid that he already intends to surrender, and it will naturally involve a lot when it comes to such important matters, the Hou Ye discussed with the emperor all day long, where is the free time."
Qin Yining nodded understandingly and sighed: "It's really embarrassing for my father. I also bothered Uncle An to take care of my father and told him to take rest."
"Yes, the villain will naturally pay attention."
"How is my father recently? How is Aunt Cao?" Qin Yining was concerned about Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing again.
Qi Tai smiled and said: "Master is in the army, although he is hungry and full, he is better than outside. Aunt Cao has been disguised as a man to protect him, but the two of them are like friends. Not much, but they are very compatible with each other.”
What Qitai said was telling Qin Yining around the corner that Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing still did not have a husband and wife relationship.
Qitai is someone who is by his father's side all day long, so he knows that he can't be wrong.
Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief for her mother and said with a smile, "I see. Thank you, I will be waiting for my father at the foot of the mountain tonight."
"Okay, then the villain will leave, and he has to go back to the Marquis and listen to his orders." Qi Tai saluted.
Qin Yining nodded and watched Qi Tai's back go away. Then he turned around and said to Ji Yun, "It seems that the emperor really decided to surrender."
Ji Yun said: "Although it is inappropriate to say so, but after hearing the news of the emperor's decision to surrender, the servants were really relieved."
Qin Yining said with understanding: "I understand. Let's not talk about the rest. At least once there is no more fighting, there is no need to besiege the city. We can also have another way to survive. As for the national justice, it is not something you and I can consider."
"Yes, and once the war is over, the lord will definitely come to look for the girl. The girl has suffered so much these days, and the lord must be very distressed."
Ji Yun thought about the importance Pang Xiao attached to Qin Yining, and now he only imagined that when the two meet in the future, as a bystander, he felt that the reunion scene must look very touching.
Qin Yining touched his hot ears, although his face did not change, but his heart was inexplicably excited.
Although this kind of excitement, it should not come when the Dayan Dynasty is about to perish. But Qin Yining felt that the country had already been hollowed out by the tossing of the Emperor Taishang when he was in power. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Qin Yining knew that such a court's national fortune would not last long.
Now that he knew that Yuchiyan had intended to surrender, Qin Yining felt lighthearted.
When the two entered Ning Yuan's door, they saw that the Sun family had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Qin Yining went to tell the Sun family about Qitai's purpose, and then emphasized the state of Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing when they were defending the city.
Sun's brows were relieved, and her heart was let go. The irritability of being hungry recently disappeared, and she asked with a smile: "Sister Yi, you can't lie."
"How can I lie to you? This is what Qitai just said. He follows my father all day and must know more than us. Unless these news are Qitai coaxing me, my daughter promises that there is a relationship between father and Concubine Cao. Innocent."
Sun's face was a little red, and she felt that she was jealous and made her daughter look at her. She was a little embarrassed, and coughed: "You girl said, do you think I am the kind of jealous person?"
"Of course not, it's just my daughter's carelessness." Qin Yining stuck out her tongue, and the amused Sun Shi couldn't help laughing.
Although all the people in the courtyard were starving, but after a long drought met the nectar, and hearing the happy laughter of Sun and Qin Yining, their moods were much better, and irritability and panic had also settled on such a rainy day.
Qin Yining spent the day as usual.
When he arrived at Xu, he took Jiyun and Bingtang out of Ningyuan.
As soon as he went out, he saw Mu Jinghu, who was as thin as a hemp pole, wearing a light blue gown, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Are you going out?" Mu Jinghu's delicate brows were a little more angular because of his thinness, and his eyes were very clear.
Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile, "My father has something to do with me."
"Then I'll follow in the dark."
Qin Yining said with some guilt: "If Young Master Mu is tired, you should rest on the mountain. Everyone can't eat enough these days. No matter how high your cultivation base is, Young Master Mu is only a mortal body. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. "You can't get enough to eat, where do you get your strength? I'm really ashamed, this time I'm just going down the mountain to see my father and say something, so you don't have to keep up."
Mu Jinghu frowned and pondered for a moment, "It's not good, I promised the fox to protect you, don't worry, I have my own sense, and I eat better than you, you are fine as a little girl, I You are a martial artist who cultivates both inside and outside, how can you be weaker than you? Or are you worried that I will eavesdrop? Then I will hide in the dark, if you don’t let me out, I won’t come out, isn’t it?”
"What did Young Master Mu say? I'm not worried about eavesdropping. I'm just afraid of making you tired. That's all, since that's the case, Young Master Mu should hide in the dark. If something happens, he will also listen to my secret code."
"Okay." Mu Jinghu nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's go."
Qin Yining knew that Mu Jinghu naturally had his own way to keep up, so he, Bingtang and Jiyun, holding the lamp in hand, walked along the winding path all the way down to Changchun Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, as expected, there was a carriage parked on the road not far away. The gas lamp on the carriage was swayed by the night wind. The air was filled with the fragrance of wet grass after the rain, which made Qin Yining's mood change again. Better.
The three walked quickly to the carriage. The man standing in front of the carriage also greeted him.
Qin Yining looked carefully, but found that it was not Qin Huaiyuan who greeted him.
