"No, no. Brother-in-law, I, then I will step back." Miss Eight curtsied, her ears were red, her face was flying, and she walked out with her head lowered.

Pang Xiao looked at Miss Eight's back with a cold smile, and asked bluntly, "Who asked you to come?"

Miss Eight stopped in her footsteps and turned her head to look at Pang Xiao in horror and embarrassment.

"The Qin family doesn't even have a maidservant to serve tea. You are also the young lady of the Qin family. Whose idea is it that you will come to the front hall to serve tea?"

Pang Xiao did not restrain his aura. These days he was irritable, but now he looks decadent, his face is a little more fierce, and his eyes are like arrows shining with cold light. Even a big man will be beaten by Pang Xiao. Her aura was frightening, not to mention Miss Eight, a little girl.

Miss Eight stepped back again and again until her back touched the wall at the door, and stammered, "No, no one has an idea."

"Lie." Seeing that she was frightened like this, Pang Xiao didn't bother to say anything more, he just said, "The person who asked you to come out to serve tea is not at ease. Shang Shu, with this status, you will be able to be a real wife in the future, and the person who asked you to serve tea this time is trying to make you small. You are not young anymore. As a brother-in-law, I also advise you to go to You don’t have to listen to everyone else, and you should think more about yourself.”

Speaking of this, Pang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Not only did Miss Eight blush, but her eyes were all red, tears were falling, and she turned around and walked out.

Who would have guessed that when he first arrived at the corridor, he bumped into Qin Huaiyuan, and he didn't know how much he had heard here.

Miss Eight was ashamed, bowed her head and hurriedly saluted, and called her uncle.

Qin Huai said far: "Go tell the old lady, just let her have a good health and don't meddle in outside affairs, so that the illness will get better soon."

Miss Eight nodded, her tears flowed even more fiercely, and she ran away choking.

Qin Huai has lost a lot in recent days, and the ink blue robe on his body seems to be hanging on a hanger, which makes his figure even more clear and a little more out of the dust.

Seeing the disheveled Pang Xiao, Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help sighing.

It seems that Pang Xiao has not had a good time these days.

"You came."

"Father-in-law." Pang Xiao came to him and knelt down to salute.

Qin Huaiyuan sighed and helped Pang Xiao, "It's all my own family, so don't have to. You came here suddenly, is there any news about Sister Yi?"

Qin Huaiyuan is always so keen.

Pang Xiao didn't give up, and handed the note to Qin Huaiyuan: "This is the news from Mu Jinghu, Mr. Mu. He is in Tatar and saw Sister Yi."

Qin Huaiyuan read the note carefully several times, as if to split and reorganize each word to ensure that what he saw was real, not his hallucination.

"Are you sure this is indeed the news from Mr. Mu?"

"Can be sure."

The daughter was safe, Qin Huaiyuan's shoulders relaxed for a moment, and the tense nerves were relieved.

"It's really good news." Qin Huaiyuan sighed and closed his eyes.

He was just such a daughter. When he heard the news of her disappearance, he was so anxious that he couldn't find it in person. Later, after hearing that Jing Zhe came back a few times and said about the situation in the cave at that time, Qin Huaiyuan felt more and more bad luck.

Now that Qin Yining has gone to Tartar, what else does Qin Huaiyuan not understand

"It seems that the Tartars sneaked in on purpose for treasure, and have been following them for a long time."

"What my father-in-law said is. I was too negligent to cause such a situation. I should have been careful in the beginning, and I wouldn't have known that the Tartars had already penetrated into the disaster area." Pang Xiao regretted a lot, if Give him another chance, he would rather resist the decree than take Qin Yining out.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and comforted: "It's not your fault. Back then, when the imperial chariot was quietly arranged around the old capital, how dare you act rashly? What's more, the situation in the disaster area is already tense, the people lack doctors and medicines, and the relief from the imperial court is delayed. , you have to deal with people who may riot at any time, there are too many things to consider, and you can take care of everything."

What Qin Huaiyuan said was the real situation at that time. But he lost Sister Yi, no matter the reason, this is unforgivable.

Qin Huaiyuan stretched out his arms and patted Pang Xiao's shoulder, "Don't blame yourself for everything."

Pang Xiao's heart was sour and swollen, and his eyes were red.

At this time, he would rather Qin Huaiyuan beat him fiercely and scold him a few times. The more understanding and forgiving, the more guilt Pang Xiao felt in his heart.

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head and sighed: "Okay, since you are married to Sister Yi, call me father-in-law, and you can be considered my son.

"I tell you the truth, even if there is something wrong with Sister Cheap, you are still my half son. This is an indisputable fact. If I lose the daughter of Sister Yi, I can't continue to lose your son. Otherwise Isn't it too much of a loss for my old man? Even if you continue in the future, don't you want to call my father-in-law when you meet me

"Fortunately, Sister Yi is fine now, everyone is happy, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, the most important thing now is that we discuss what to do next, and how to ensure the next safety of Sister Yi. "

Pang Xiao was very moved when he heard it, and it took a long time to suppress the turbulent emotions, and said sternly: "The Tartars should have been staring at the whereabouts of the treasure long ago, and this time they caught Sister Yi, I am afraid they happened to meet them. The situation is very complicated, Siqin arrived suddenly with people, and seeing that the main people are all there, he simply took the pot."

Qin Huaiyuan continued: "I just don't know how the members of the Qingtian Alliance are now. But according to my guess, the people who were arrested in the Qingtian Alliance should be the most fortunate."

Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "I think so too. Otherwise, with the attraction of the treasure, it has been nearly four months, and the Tatars cannot possibly care about the whereabouts of the treasure at all."

"I want to come here because the Tartars pay attention to the treasure, they will definitely try their best to use Sister Yi and the second master of the Lu family to negotiate with us." Pang Xiao said with some worry, "It's just that I'm in a tense situation now, and the sage is fighting against me. The matter of disrespecting the decree more than 30 times is still unpublished, and these days have been impatient and have offended many people. I am afraid that the saint will not care about the lives of Sister Yi and the others."

"The most important thing is that Mr. Lu Ge is in very bad health now, and the power change of the Lu family is also at a critical juncture. I am afraid that the second master of Lu will also be given up by the Lu family." Qin Huaiyuan stood up and paced with his hands behind his back. "Sister Yi is a woman. I think other than those of us who care about her family, others will only regard her as an accessory. Even if the Tartar negotiates the conditions, the Lu family will be the most important, and they can ask for a ransom if they don't want the treasure. Or other benefits. If the Lu family gave up, I'm afraid Sister Yi's situation would be even worse."

"My lord! My lord!" At this moment, Hu Zi ran in from outside and shoved a carrier pigeon to Pang Xiao, "Look, it was sent by Mu Gongzi."

Pang Xiao hurriedly got up, took off the small scroll on the pigeon's feet, and eagerly unfolded it to see that there were three words on it.

Kill sweat, escape.

"Father-in-law." Pang Xiao frowned and handed the note to Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Huaiyuan murmured after seeing it, "What does this mean? Khan was killed? No... Could it be!"

"Who killed the Khan and escaped? Sister Yi?"

"It must be Sister Yi, or Mu Gongzi won't pass on the letter to you. Sister Yi is not a reckless person. There must be a reason for her to kill the khan, but now, the regime must have fallen to the concubine Ma Siqin. In his hands, he is a ruthless character, and he will definitely use this to make a big fuss."

Qin Huaiyuan can now imagine what Siqin does. He collects a lot of information about Siqin on weekdays, and he probably knows his ambitious temperament.

"I'm afraid it won't be good if it goes on like this. Not to mention whether it is true or false that Sister Yi killed the Khan. Even if it is false, the news came from Mr. Mu, and everyone in Tatar must have recognized it. Yes. From my point of view, Siqin will definitely take advantage of the topic, seize power first and seek other things."

Qin Huai said from afar: "Perhaps even the murder was within Siqin's plan."

Pang Xiao nodded in agreement.

Weng and his son-in-law fell into contemplation and anxiety at the same time.

If the news of Qin Yining's killing of the Khan had spread all over the Tatar, and no matter what Siqin's conditions were to Da Zhou, it would only be said that Qin Yining's situation in the Tatar would be very dangerous.

The two looked at each other and anxiously discussed the next possibilities and countermeasures.

At this time, Qin Yining's health was much better, and Yu Siqin was hiding in the Minuo Department.

The past few days of getting along with each other made Qin Yining realize that these Minuo tribes are actually very warm-hearted, honest and sincere people. For example, the two brothers Harbala and Chaganbala, because they are the sons of the former patriarch, have a little bit of trickery, so they have some hearts, but they are punished by Qin Yining and Lu Heng. They are quite straightforward, and it is even more obvious that they have no bad intentions.

Because of their special status and young age, the two brothers had to keep them humiliated, so they were not killed, but the shame they suffered and the hatred of their parents' murder were deeply rooted in their hearts.

They are also very trustworthy people. At the beginning, they swore that whoever killed Anari to avenge their patriarch and clansmen would be the next patriarch.

So even though Harbala and Chaganbala were not very happy, they still regarded Lu Heng and Qin Yining as the new patriarchs, especially Siqin, who held a high status in their hearts.

After just a few days, I searched all over the city and found nothing. Siqin was busy gradually grasping the authority in his hands, and he could only instruct his subordinates to supervise it.

When the matter returned to Siqin, Siqin frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Go check it out, especially the participation of the tribes that were destroyed by the Khan, such as the Mino tribe, they hold a grudge against the Khan, and they are very Possibly complicit with the murderer."

The people below took orders and went straight to several slums in the city.

"No, the search is here!" A ragged little girl ran in outside the door, pulling Harbala and saying, "The officers and soldiers are here! It's coming soon!"

Hearing this, Harbala turned pale, got up in a hurry and ran to the back room, pulling Qin Yining and Lu Heng to the backyard,
