The rain poured down, the woods in the mountains were dark, the dirt road under the hillside was muddy, and the huge dark cloud was pressing on the top of the head, as if it was pressing on the people's hearts, making the people who were already anxious even more panic.
Pang Xiao rode a fast horse, and led Hu Zi, four Jinghu guards and twenty Longchung troops all the way to the place where the incident happened.
Hu Zi said anxiously: "My lord, slow down, the princess will be fine!"
Pang Xiao's jaw tightened, his lips pursed into a line, and the knuckles of his fists were distinct.
"Is the report accurate? Is it true that the princess was kidnapped into a hole in the ground, and then turned over when she encountered an earth dragon?"
Hu Zi swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and said, "That's what I heard."
Pang Xiao threw a punch, really wishing he couldn't kill himself.
He shouldn't have let Qin Yining take the risk in the first place. What treasure? Where else is Qin Yining's life important? Not to mention the money, even if he used Jiangshan to exchange it with her, he would never exchange it!
If Qin Yining lost his life because of these extraneous things, Pang Xiao really wished he couldn't apologize for his death!
A group of people galloped on their horses, and soon came to the position mentioned by the tip.
There was a lot of water on the road wet by the heavy rain, and it was impossible to detect the previous footprints. At this time, outside the cave, a group of soldiers in silver-white shirts of the Longchung Army were digging with shovels.
Under a big yellow Luo umbrella, Li Qitian in dark blue uniform stood with his hands behind his back, while Li Guanwen, the eunuch, held an oil-paper umbrella upwind to shield Li Qitian from the wind and rain.
The sound of Pang Xiao's hoofs caught Li Qitian's attention, and everyone looked up. Seeing that it was Pang Xiao and his party, Li Qitian couldn't help frowning. When he met Pang Xiao, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and afraid.
He is an emperor, why should he be afraid
Li Qitian straightened his back again.
Pang Xiao's team was already approaching at this time.
The dark cloud was restrained and let out a neigh. Pang Xiao turned over and dismounted, and a string of water droplets were thrown from the corner of his robe, which was soaked by the heavy rain.
"Holy."
Regardless of the mud, Pang Xiao led the crowd to kneel and salute.
Li Qitian supported Pang Xiao with both hands, and said bitterly, "I just arrived and received a report that Qin was taking someone to the capital and found a hole in the ground. When he got in to check it, he just caught up with the dragon turning over."
This is what it says...
Is the princess a gopher? If you see a hole in the ground, go in and check it out? Holy lord, you don't want your face anymore!
Pang Xiao's expression didn't change, but Hu Zi and Jing Huwei and the others behind him were about to punch him.
Pang Xiao said solemnly: "After the Earth Dragon turned over, the relief supplies were delayed, and many mountain bandits and road tyrants were born under the desperate situation. Qin's only arranged four guards and two maids on the way back to Beijing. If these people were forcibly kidnapped, the consequences would be disastrous."
The coercion around Pang Xiao's body seemed to materialize, and it could be transformed into an invisible big hand to grab a person's throat.
As an emperor, Li Qitian should not be afraid. But under Pang Xiao's serious gaze, his back couldn't help but straighten up.
He was a little guilty, but a voice in his heart kept shouting, the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of leading the land is not the king's ministers, the world belongs to him, all the wealth belongs to him, and the lives of the ministers also belong to him .
Isn't there a good saying that the king wants the minister to die and the minister has to die
Qin Yining was just a woman. He asked Pang Xiao to die, but Pang Xiao didn't dare to die. It doesn't matter if Qin Yining was an accessory that belonged to Pang Xiao. Pang Xiao didn't have much affection for Qin Yining at first. When Qin Yining's family first came to Dazhou, didn't they scream and kill, tying them up and tortured them to death
Now that it's dead, it's time to get a new one. Pang Xiao is also a blessing in disguise.
Thinking of this, Li Qi was more calm and confident, and less guilty and embarrassed.
What's more, he wanted to ask Pang Xiao, why did Qin Yining suddenly return to Beijing, is it a real or fake disease? Is it because you secretly want to loot the treasure, and it happens to be buried in the hole
Li Qitian's heart turned back and forth, but the time was only between breaths.
At this time, Pang Xiao had already brought Huzi and four Jinghu guards, and found a shovel to dig. The 20 Longchung troops, seeing Pang Xiao like this, also looked for tools to help.
Li Qitian raised his voice: "Pang Xiao, come here and ask them to do these rough jobs."
Pang Xiao turned a deaf ear, and the movements of his hands did not stop at all.
Li Guanwen saw that Pang Xiao had ignored the Sage's words, so he rushed forward with an umbrella, held up a paper umbrella to cover Pang Xiao from the rain, and said, "My lord, the Sage has something to ask you, do you want to take a break? Let others do the rough work."
Pang Xiao stepped on the shovel with one foot, dug it into the soil, and said without raising his head: "I would like to trouble my father-in-law to thank the saint for his kindness on behalf of this king, but saving people is like putting out a fire, more people will have more strength, what's the point? , let's wait until this king rescues everyone."
Li Guanwen ate a soft nail, looked at Pang Xiao's profile very complicatedly, and turned back to Li Qitian's side.
Although Li Qitian didn't hear what Pang Xiao said, it was also a fact that Pang Xiao refused to listen to his decree and come to him.
Li Qitian's face was sullen, and just as he was about to rebuke, Li Guanwen said, "Sir, now the roads are muddy and the weather is wet and cold. Although your dragon is healthy, you can't stand this tossing. You might as well go up to the car to rest and warm yourself up with a cup of hot tea. ?"
A gust of cool wind came, and Li Qitian shivered really coldly, and the back of his hand was also cold.
"Okay." Li Qitian sullenly returned to the car first.
From the corner of Pang Xiao's eyes, he saw that Li Qitian was gone, and his clenched teeth did not relax at all.
Sister Yi, Sister Yi, where are you
Is it buried here
If it was really buried in a hole, wouldn't it be...
No, no, she won't die.
She was so young, how could she possibly die
He is digging hard now, just to prove that there is no her here!
"My lord!"
At this moment, Hu Zi screamed in panic.
Pang Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly dropped his shovel to see.
I saw a broken arm, a pale arm, dripping with blood, at the foot of Long Xiangjun who had started digging earlier...
It was the man's hand, not Qin Yining's.
But this didn't make Pang Xiao relax.
After confirming that there was someone below, Pang Xiao led the crowd and dug like crazy. Use a shovel, or even by hand.
The rain stopped.
The rain and sweat on my body mixed with dust and mud was uncomfortable. Pang Xiao was shirtless like the rest of the men.
As the corpses were neatly stacked aside, Pang Xiao's face became more and more ugly, more and more desperate, and Li Qitian became more and more angry.
"This is the Longchong army that I arranged to find the treasure! How could it all be damaged here!"
Pang Xiao said with a sullen face, "The sage asked the minister? The minister also wanted to ask the sage why the Longxiang army you arranged to kidnap the wife of the minister!"
