Qin Yining took Bingtang and Jiyun all the way to the front.
Bingtang whispered: "Princess, I think this family is kind. It's safe to live here for the time being."
"Well, at least you don't have to worry that they will make trouble inside." Qin Yining whispered, "It's just that the situation outside is too chaotic. I'm worried that something will go wrong."
Ji Yun said: "The lord has already ordered Jinghuwei and Jingzhe to set up defenses, and Huzi also went to the street to check the situation. The people of Longxiang's army are now by the lord's side, and they should be able to deal with it a little bit. emergency."
"That's good, but the situation is still not optimistic. Now the people don't know about the prince's role as the disaster relief ambassador. Once they know that the disaster relief ambassador didn't bring the rice, it won't be as peaceful as it is now."
Ji Yun nodded solemnly when he heard the words, and Bingtang said helplessly in a low voice: "It's really as black as a crow in the world. The most unlucky people are always the common people."
Qin Yining sighed.
Although Li Qitian had calculated Pang Xiao before, he was not so confused about right and wrong.
However, this time on the matter of treasures, Li Qitian was red-eyed, and he focused on treasures in everything he did.
It was also strange that the amount of the treasure was huge. She heard Pang Xiao secretly say that in those treasures, only a few boxes were silver, and the rest were filled with gold, precious stones, and a box of antique calligraphy and paintings that were invaluable. If they are all converted into silver taels, there should be more than seven million taels.
The one-year military expenditure of the Longchong Army and the Huben Army is a huge amount of money, and that money is enough to support the expenses of the two armies for five years. Enough to solve Li Qitian's urgent needs.
The wealth and silk are really touching, and Li Qitian lost his principles in the face of such a huge sum of money.
But he also blamed him for being seriously ill. If he didn't doubt Pang Xiao at the beginning, and he could let him do anything, how could things have developed to this point
Qin Yining came to Qianya's classroom, but only saw Pang Xiao, but not Gong You.
"Where's Mr. Gong?"
"Master Gong has taken people out to inspect the city." Pang Xiao pulled Qin Yining over, and shoved the rolled note in his hand to her, motioning her to read.
Qin Yining unfolded the note, read it carefully, and raised his head in astonishment.
Although the content on the note is simple, it is very informative.
This was Li Qitian's secret decree, telling them that the treasure was indeed robbed halfway, and ordered Pang Xiao and Qin Yining to continue tracking the whereabouts of the treasure!
Because according to Li Qitian's investigation, the hidden treasure was transported by the robbers to a place called Yangxian under the old capital. It has been determined that the treasure is near Yangxian, but the specific whereabouts depend on Pang Xiao.
A storm surged in Qin Yining's heart.
Because the address she had made an appointment with with the Qingtian Alliance and the Yinmian Detective was not Yangxian!
Could it be that Li Qitian's investigation was wrong
Impossible, no matter how incompetent Li Qitian is, it is impossible for him to investigate the whereabouts of such a large sum of money.
Then it means that the person she arranged to intercept Hu Baozang made a mistake!
Is it the problem of the Qingtian League, or the problem of the silver-faced spy
Or did they get together and betrayed her and took the treasure away and divided it
Seeing Qin Yining's bad face, Pang Xiao hurriedly comforted her in a low voice, "It's alright, don't think too much."
Qin Yining stared at Pang Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Where exactly did you say the problem?"
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Maybe there is no problem, but there are temporary changes, so they have to send things elsewhere. You should trust them, don't be so cranky and miserable."
Qin Yining shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't comfort me, it can't be like this, the one above was unprepared and only waited for the treasure to return to the capital, how could he make a temporary move? If it wasn't for one of the above, others would Even more impossible, this time the news was blocked, we were all trapped in the mountains for more than half a month, it is possible that the person who leaked the news was either killed or that person's confidant."
Why doesn't Pang Xiao know this is the truth
But Qin Yining was so sad, he really didn't want to make things worse.
Although Qin Yining himself once said that the people of the Qingtian Alliance can't be trusted completely, and the silver-faced spies are loyal, but there are too few people, and they are weak and weak.
Of course, when things really go in the direction they least want to see, can there be no waves in their hearts
"Sister Yi, don't think too much, you've done a good enough job, better than many women. These things are out of your control, and you can't blame them."
Qin Yining rubbed his brows tiredly, and whispered, "I know, but eight or nine times out of ten, this situation is caused by my people being a traitor. And the most embarrassing thing is that I don't know yet. Which side is this traitor from? If it is your Jinghu guard, they will never be like this."
Pang Xiao took Qin Yining into his arms distressedly, and said in a low voice, "You have helped me a lot by being able to do this, really. The Jinghu Guards are all closely monitored, if it wasn't for you, what would we do? Don't you want to watch your opponent become stronger? I don't have the rebellious heart, but I don't want to sit still. Sister Yi, you have really helped me a lot."
Qin Yining sat on the chair and put his arms around Pang Xiaojin's thin waist, burying his face in his abdomen.
Sometimes, she really feels tired. But she knew that she and Pang Xiao were now tied together, and they were one body. As long as one of them was tired and flinched, all the pressure would be transferred to the other.
Now that the situation is so tense, she must not relax, she doesn't want to hide behind Pang Xiao and let him protect her, she will only be a burden to Pang Xiao.
She must have enough ability to walk shoulder to shoulder with him.
"I'm fine." When she straightened up again, she was able to smile calmly.
"The sage wants to track down the whereabouts of the treasures in Yangxian County. If we don't act, we can't do it. We still have to find a time to go. And I also want to try to get in touch with the silver-faced spy and the Qingtian League."
Pang Xiao smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead, "You are right, I will listen to you. When I came out, Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu were very worried and wanted to follow. I was afraid that there was no backbone in the capital, so they put They all stayed at home. They were worried, so I said that I still have you by my side, and you are my advisor. Now, it seems that I really judged correctly. "
Qin Yining was amused by his words, "You will make me happy. I am nothing but a wise man."
"Don't belittle yourself. If an ordinary woman can have your cleverness, let alone being in charge of the back house, it is more than enough to be an empress."
"Nonsense." Qin Yining lightly pinched Pang Xiao angrily.
Seeing that Qin Yi's mood finally improved, Pang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I will go out to see the situation in the city later, after discussing with Lord Gong, I will start to inspect the surrounding county magistrates tomorrow, and strive to be the first Going to Yangxian County, doing so will not reveal any traces, and avoid making people suspicious, so as not to panic, and the people I arranged to report back to the capital, I believe they will come here soon."
