Cao Yuqing waved her hand, "You're welcome."
In fact, Cao Yuqing still has some sympathy for Lu Heng. Seeing that he couldn't ask for anything, but had to endure the grief, and pretended to be free and easy in front of Qin Yining and Pang Xiao, she would think of herself, so she agreed. Escort Lu Heng for a while.
Anyway, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao stay together, which is most reassuring.
Compared with Qin Yining and Lu Heng who took the Minuo tribe to avoid the pursuit of the Tartars, Pang Xiao's Jinghu Guards are experts, and doing such things is as simple as drinking water and eating.
They have a clear division of labor. The scouts have the duties of the scouts, and the guards also have the duties of the guards. Therefore, they skillfully crossed the land of the Tartars to reach the Great Peripheral border, and they did not encounter the Tartar troops and horses once.
The day before arriving at the border, Cao Yuqing said to Lu Heng: "Get ready, today we will leave the team first, and then wait for the opportunity to enter the city."
Hearing this, Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat, he was about to leave Qin Yining, and he was reluctant to give up.
They've been together for so long, even if he can't have her, it's satisfying to be able to look at her like that by her side. But now he had to leave first, the feeling of reluctance to give up was like cutting flesh.
Seeing Lu Heng's expression, Cao Yuqing couldn't help but sigh.
"Second Master Lu should be more open-minded, don't suffer yourself, and delay yourself."
After Cao Yuqing said that, he turned around and left the tent.
Standing outside the account, taking a deep breath of the icy air for a while, Cao Yuqing's depressed mood improved again.
Although she is in the same situation as Lu Heng, she is now able to find joy in such a life of giving without expecting anything in return. Qin Yining is a good boy, and she truly recognizes her. She can gain Qin Huaiyuan's friendship and trust. , to get such a well-behaved and filial niece as Qin Yining, this is the best situation. It's better than her blindly insisting that the chicken and eggs she finally get are better.
Soon, Lu Heng packed up the simple salute.
Standing in front of Qin Yining and Pang Xiao, Lu Heng didn't show any emotions that were inappropriate, and smiled and said goodbye to them: "Let's part for now, see you in the capital."
Pang Xiao also cupped his hands at him: "I believe Brother Lu is here. We will be able to solve all the problems. We are waiting for your good news."
"Me too, take care and say goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Lu Heng glanced at Qin Yining again.
Qin Yining was wearing a large black sable velvet cloak and a sable velvet hat. At first glance, the clothes belonged to Pang Xiao.
The black fluff tightly wrapped her, her palm-sized face was half hidden in the fur collar, her face seemed to have a little more flesh, and her complexion was also very good. When her eyes met, her eyes filled with lingering water Gentle smile.
"Be careful."
"I will. I'm leaving." Lu Heng suppressed the reluctance in his heart, thinking that Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were together, they were really well protected, and he didn't need to worry anymore.
After making up his mind, Lu Heng turned his horse and left the team with Cao Yuqing and Liao Zhibing.
Pang Xiao looked at Lu Heng's back, pursed his lips, and then gave a free and easy smile. He took Qin Yining's small hands hidden in the cloak and sighed in his palms, trying to help her warm.
"Is it cold? Let's go back to the tent and rest for a while."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, and carefully lifted the hem of the cloak, so as not to be dragged on the snow and soiled, the other hand was tightly grasped by Pang Xiao's warm and dry hand, and followed him step by step.
"When are we going into town?"
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "We have to make some noise to attract the attention of those people, so that Brother Lu and the others can enter the city. I think after lunch, I will order someone to deliver a letter to the city, saying that the king brought the princess back. , let them open the city gates and come out to greet them."
Qin Yining laughed when he heard it: "The Sage must have arranged someone in the city. Since you have already told the world that you are treasonous, you know that you went to Tartar to find me. At this time, there must be someone in charge of monitoring in the city. I'll take you down as soon as you come back. Do you want them to kneel to welcome them? Are you trying to scare them to their knees?"
Pang Xiao said indifferently: "Whether it's beating to kneel or being scared to kneel, we just don't kneel."
He snorted her head with a big hand, because the warm hat was a bit big, and when he rubbed it like that, it loosened the bun, and the hat covered her eyes. It looks really cute and tight.
Qin Yining said angrily, "What are you doing?" She raised her hand to support her hat.
However, Pang Xiao held down the hat and kept it covering Qin Yining's eyes. He bent down and bit her lips lightly, and then his flexible tongue drove straight in and danced around her.
Because the sight was blocked by the hat, the senses became much sharper than usual.
Qin Yining only felt that his whole body was about to burn. I was breathing his breath, and even my body was surrounded by his breath.
When she came back to her senses, she had already been placed by Pang Xiao on a simple wooden couch in the tent, and he kept his arms beside her cheeks, leaning over her body, a pair of phoenix eyes seemed to light up. group fire. That spark of fire was unstoppable, and it quickly set her on fire.
Qin Yining naturally slept over lunch.
In the afternoon, when she woke up from soreness and exhaustion, Pang Xiao had already finished negotiating with the city.
Pang Xiao was squatting beside the bed, it didn't look like he had done any kind of strenuous exercise at all.
Qin Yining rubbed her sore waist and glared at him.
Pang Xiao smiled and grabbed her hand and kissed her, "Are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? After entering the city, let's go to the inn and then go to sleep, okay? Get up first, darling."
As he spoke, he pulled her up, as if coaxing a child.
Qin Yining was coaxed by him to flush, and said angrily, "I'm not a child, don't be so nauseous."
"Nasty? Where's the numbness? Heart? Baby? Big baby? Little darling?"
Pang Xiao's voice was deliberately lowered, and the low and magnetic voice blew on Qin Yining's ears with a breathy sound, and that sound made her heart tremble and her face turned even redder.
"Who is your little darling. You are the little darling."
Pang Xiao saw her blushing as if dripping blood, so he couldn't help but put his arms around her and let him sit on his lap, shaking her like he was holding a child.
"Why do you think I like our sister Yi so much? Seriously, you are my heart and soul, my baby. If you are not by my side, I will think about it in a short while. It was not so strong before. I miss you for sure, but it’s not that we can’t be separated for a moment. But since this incident, if I don’t see you in front of me for a while, I will panic and worry about whether you have been kidnapped again. ."
Speaking of this, Pang Xiao lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "You said, did you steal my heart?"
Qin Yining buried her face in Pang Xiao's chest, leaving only her red ears, and said in a muffled voice, "Nonsense, who taught you to say such things."
Seeing Qin Yining was really embarrassed, Pang Xiao didn't say anything that made her blush, she helped her change clothes, put on shoes and socks, and brushed her hair with rough hands and feet. Although her skills were not very good, she pulled her scalp It hurts, but the bun is pulled up beautifully.
Putting a sable velvet cloak on her, and carefully trimming her neckline, Pang Xiao smiled and said, "My baby is beautiful." Then he kissed her cheek again.
Qin Yining's face was blushing, even brighter than wiping rouge. She was embarrassed to stare at Pang Xiao, so she obediently followed behind him and left the tent.
Hu Zi and the rest of the elite tiger guards were already ready. When the group saw Pang Xiao and Qin Yining coming out, they all stood still with their horses, and their military appearance was very strict.
After finishing the packing, Pang Xiao commanded loudly:
"Set off."
"Yes!"
As soon as Pang Xiao gave an order, everyone mounted their horses and went straight to the city gate of "Tianyuguan" at the forefront of the border between Tatar and the Great Periphery.
There are four counties in the northern border of Dazhou, namely Tianyuguan, Tianlangguan, Tianshuguan, and Tianmenguan.
The one closest to the front line is Tianyuguan. In the past, Ji Zeyu led Longchong's army and guarded here.
Although the Longchamp Army is still stationed here, the coaches have been changed several times. The current temporary head coach of the Longchamp Army is named Kang Qiong, who was arranged by Li Qitian, and the generals of the Longchamp Army in the past. It didn't fit well.
Since the big incident of Prince Zhongshun's treason, the court was like boiling water was poured into hot oil, and the chaos had long been turned upside down.
Because he knew that Pang Xiao took the government soldiers to Tatar, Li Qitian specially arranged for a general who believed in him to take more than 100 people to guard the Tianyu Pass. Just waiting for Pang Xiao to come back and take him down in one fell swoop.
Li Qitian sent the official named Yi Binghu, who was twenty-nine years old at the time. Now he is a five-rank Wuyi general and temporarily returns to the Gyeonggi camp, but he has some connections with the Hu Ben army in the past.
As we all know, the 100,000 horses of Pang Xiao's Hu Ben army have been selected through strict tests and selections. Even if they are admitted, it does not mean that they will never be eliminated, and they will also undergo strict assessment every time. Decide where to stay.
Yi Binghu used to be a member of the Hu Ben army, but he only stayed in it for a month, because he failed the examination and wanted to use the money to go out and was discovered by Pang Xiao, and he was severely reprimanded in public. .
Yi Binghu's family is a clan of the Northern Ji Kingdom. He has had many children to serve as officials in the court. Since he was a child, he has felt that he is the favored son of heaven. Later, after he was kicked out of the Hu Ben army because of his repeated thoughts, he used his family connections to seek a job in the Gyeonggi camp, but he always had a lump in his heart.
This time, Li Qitian arranged for Yi Binghu to come to the border and wait for the rabbit. In fact, he also knew this in the past. Not only Yi Binghu, but also the more than 100 men brought by Yi Binghu were once kicked out by the Hu Ben army.
Li Qitian seized their hatred and gave them this opportunity to take revenge. He also doesn't have to worry that the people below will release water to Pang Xiao.
