Qin Yining rode a horse and followed Pang Xiao's side. When the group arrived at the city gate, they saw that the city gate was slowly opening. From the inside, more than a hundred soldiers poured out and formed a battle on both sides, and the sharp ends of the swords were aimed at Pang Xiao and his party.
Then I saw a man in his forties, wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, rode out, followed by a middle-aged man with a big shoulder and a round waist, and the armor of the Gyeonggi camp was particularly conspicuous.
Pang Xiao held the reins of his and Qin Yining's mounts with one hand, and played with the whip in the other hand. He raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Yes, it's not a small battle for you to welcome this king. This king is very pleased."
Yi Binghu's face flushed when he heard the words, and he almost didn't fall from the jujube red immediately. He rode his horse to the front and scolded in a deep voice: "Bah! You treasonous fanatic, you have the face to talk nonsense here!"
Pang Xiao didn't even look at Yi Binghu, he smiled and urged the horse to step forward, and bowed his hands with Kang Qiong: "Marshal Kang. Long time no see."
"My lord." Kang Qiong hurriedly bowed his hands in return and said with a smile, "My lord has been exhausted all the way, please go to the city to rest. The lower official has ordered the best room in the post station to be cleaned out, and the hot water and wine are ready. The reception banquet has also been done, just waiting for the prince."
"Marshal Laokang has arranged." Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, and was about to bring Qin Yining and the brothers behind him into the city.
Seeing this, Yi Binghu's eyes were red with anger, and he kicked the mount's abdomen and rushed up, blocking Pang Xiao and his party horizontally.
"No! You are a traitor, how can you enjoy such high treatment! Since you still know how to return to the country, you should be a little bit ashamed! You betrayed Da Zhou at the beginning, and now you come back as a guilt, I didn't tell you. Just put on the shackles, do you still want to eat the banquet?"
Yi Binghu said "Qiang" and pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed directly at Pang Xiao and said, "Come here, take this treasonous sinner to this general!"
quiet.
Still quiet.
Neither the people from the Longchong Army brought by Kang Qiong nor the people from the Gyeonggi Camp brought by Yi Binghu, did not act alone.
And the Jinghu guards brought back by Pang Xiao were all expressionless at this time, all staring at Yi Binghu with a pair of cold eyes, as if they were looking at a dead man. The hairs on Yi Binghu's frightened back stood up one by one.
The wind was blowing, and Yi Binghu looked a little desolate holding a knife.
"You guys do it! Wei Erbao! Li Daniu! And you!" Yi Binghu turned back and pointed at his subordinates angrily.
However, Pang Xiao laughed and rode forward again, as if he didn't care about Yi Binghu's knife tip and pointed at him, passing by the soldiers in the military uniforms of the Gyeonggi Guard Camp, calling out their names one by one.
"Wei Erbao, your kid seems to have gained weight again?"
"Li Daniu, laugh, laugh, look at your cigarettes! I said earlier, don't smoke!"
"Qian Dong, look at you like that, did Wei Erbao steal all the food?"
"Tsk tsk, Wu Xiaogui, why are you still like a skinny monkey?"
…
Every time Pang Xiao passed by a person, he could call out their names accurately, and he could easily laugh and joke a few words. Obviously, although these people were all losers in the Hu Ben army, Pang Xiao never forgot. Check them out and keep a clear record of their preferences and circumstances.
And when these people saw Pang Xiao, everyone's eyes were filled with adoration, and there was no trace of hatred.
Li Daniu laughed, and then covered his mouth embarrassedly, "My lord, it's hard for me to quit smoking. When I practice martial arts, I'll try it at the Tiger Ben Army. If it works, you'll accept me!"
His simple and honest words made everyone laugh.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "This can't be done. Now the head coach of the Hu Ben Army is Ji Lan. When I look back, I'll tell Ji Lan, if you can get into Ji Lan's eyes, let Ji Lan accept you."
"Ai! Thank you, Lord!" Li Daniu answered in a very loud voice.
The Ji Lan mentioned by the prince is the current concubine Ji Zeyu, the former head coach of the 100,000 Longxiang Army, who is also a hero with the same name as the prince, and one of the few generals in the world. , that is also the best!
Pang Xiao was talking to people cordially, and the scene was extraordinarily relaxed and active. It was not like Yi Binghu brought people to intercept it, but rather like a meeting between Pang Xiao and the old acquaintances of Hu Benjun.
Yi Binghu was completely stunned at this time, looking at the people who were supposed to arrest Pang Xiao, and now talking to Pang Xiao with admiration on their faces, Yi Binghu had no intention of taking him down. Both anxious and angry.
"What are you guys thinking! Have you forgotten the painstaking efforts of the Sage! You must follow my orders when you come out! I now order you to immediately arrest the Prince and Princess Zhongshun and return to the capital!"
Yi Binghu was already furious, his hair was about to explode, and the roar could shake the distant mountain avalanche.
But none of the people around him who were very close to him were willing to listen to him! Although he came under orders, his orders were not imperial edicts. If no one was willing to listen to his orders, what could he do alone
In particular, the group of followers that Pang Xiao brought are now stabbing him hard with eye knives. He is sure that if Pang Xiao gave an order, these palace soldiers and followers of the palace would immediately rush without regard for their lives. Come up and die with him.
Thinking of this, Yi Binghu shuddered again. He is still young, and he doesn't want to put his life here for nothing.
So he didn't get an answer, and Yi Binghu didn't dare to continue shouting, so he could only grit his teeth tightly so as not to let his own words provoke the other party.
Pang Xiao met the old acquaintance here, and said: "Open the city gate." Turning back, he said to Yi Binghu: "It's actually just the right time for you to come, this king is just going back to Beijing to see the saint, you can escort with you. ."
escort
Is it alright to be locked in a prison van and escorted
Yi Binghu gritted his teeth and said after a while, "Since the lord is willing, the lower officials naturally dare not refuse."
Anyway, the more you go to the capital and the closer you are to the capital, the more people there will be on the sage, and the less chance Pang Xiao and his party will escape, and it will be easier for him to communicate with each other.
Kang Qiong said in a timely manner: "The lord has come to Tianyuguan with great difficulty, why do you have to drink a drink with the brothers before leaving, the banquet has already been set, if the lord does not eat, wouldn't it be a waste? Besides, these brothers brought by the lord also need Warm up with a glass of wine, and the princess needs a good rest."
Yi Binghu gritted his teeth and glared at Kang Qiong, thinking to himself that this person is really superfluous, he has nothing to do with him!
Pang Xiao looked at Yi Binghu's nervous appearance and saw enough of his nervous appearance, so he kindly stopped adjusting his appetite and said with a smile: "In this case, how can this king fail the good intentions of Marshal Kang? ?"
When Kang Qiong heard the words, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, please!"
"Marshal Kang, please!"
Kang Qiong and Pang Xiao dismounted and went to the city gate together.
Yi Binghu was left aside. Seeing that the blessed soldiers brought by Pang Xiao followed the defenders of Tianyu Pass into the city one after another, Li Daniu and others around Kang Qiong were also very anxious to find out.
In fact, even if they enter the city, they are not qualified to drink with Pang Xiao, but they worship Pang Xiao in their hearts, as if they can feel the breath of the God of War if they follow him closely, seeing Yi Binghu never speak. , the crowd was also a little impatient.
At this time, Yi Binghu deeply felt the prestige and popularity of Pang Xiao in the army. It seems that all the soldiers here in Guan worship him as a god, but it seems that what he did just now is like a clown jumping on a beam.
He was embarrassed and annoyed, and he secretly scolded Kang Qiong, the old fox who would please his subordinates the most. Knowing that his subordinates admired Pang Xiao, he took advantage of the situation to invite people in for the banquet, which is really cunning.
After thinking about it for a long time, seeing that the city gate was about to close, Yi Binghu called out to the people around him with a cold face: "What are you still doing, waiting for your prince to pick you up?"
Yi Binghu kicked the horse's stomach, and the horse rushed in. The people under his command looked at each other in dismay, and in the end they didn't even bother to curl their lips, and followed into the city.
Qin Yining was placed in the back office of Tianyuguan Yamen, led by Mrs. Chen, Kang Qiong's wife, and settled in the upper room of the back office.
"Princess is exhausted. It's really hard work. This place is bitter and cold, and naturally it can't compare to the capital, but there are warm rooms, please don't dislike it."
"Mrs. Chen, don't be so polite. This is already too good. Mrs. Chen really doesn't have to vacate the main room. The prince and I are going to Beijing soon, and we are only staying for a while, so why bother?"
Hearing Qin Yining call her Mrs. Chen, Chen's heart couldn't help but feel a little happy. Most women call their husbands' surnames when they marry. However, there are also some women who have their own careers or have excellent reputations, and are also called their parents' surnames. . Qin Yining called her Mrs. Chen, and she was very respectful to her.
When Chen shi looked at Qin Yining's appearance again, and he was so prudent, he couldn't help but praise: after all, she is Zhi Pan'an's daughter, and she is really different from ordinary women. It's no wonder that the prince was so angry with the crown that he wanted to find her even against the thirty-three imperial decrees, and for her to be charged with treason, he went deep into the Tartars to find her back.
Women all over the world, knowing that the Lord of War can be so infatuated with the princess, I am afraid that no one will not envy Qin Yining.
But now that she really met Qin Yining, what Chen shi thought was that this is really an excellent woman, otherwise, it would be impossible for the God of War Lord Bai Liangang to turn into soft fingers.
The two admired each other, chatted and entered the main room, Chen shi ordered someone to prepare hot water to serve the bath, and carefully checked the charcoal fire, bedding and other items in the room, and made sure that there was nothing wrong, and then retreated.
Qin Yining immersed himself in the warm tub and closed his eyes to enjoy this rare leisure time. Now, when he thinks about it, the hardships he went through when he was bound to the Tartars, and the sins he suffered in the desert, seemed to be all in the same place. The same happens in a dream.
