Qin Yining was always vigilant, but now that she is a month old and sleeps lightly, she opened her eyes almost as soon as there was movement in the rear window.
Pang Xiao woke up earlier than her and reacted faster. He jumped up, and the short sword hidden under the pillow was already in his hands. Because he didn't dare to act rashly, he was afraid that he would be caught in a tactic of turning the tiger away from the mountain. Beside Qin Yining.
Qin Yining was about to open his mouth to call for someone, but Pang Xiao pricked his ears and listened carefully, while covering Qin Yining's mouth.
Qin Yining's long eyelashes flickered, and she looked up at him strangely.
Pang Xiao's tense muscles relaxed, put away the dagger, and whispered in her ear: "It's Alan, Xu Shi has something to tell me. You rest first, I'll go and talk to him later. ."
Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, and also said in a low voice, "Okay. It's cold at night, you should wear more." He wanted to get up and help Pang Xiao find a robe to wear.
Pang Xiao backhanded her to lie down, "Don't get up, I'll just find something to wear by myself. You're finally drowsy, so take a rest."
Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining cover the quilt, leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead, then found a robe and put it on at will, wearing indoor soft-soled cotton boots, went around the screen and went to the clean room behind. Ji Zeyu is a tall figure standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
"Alan, you are here."
"Yeah." Ji Zeyu turned around, and the moonlight outlined his handsome face with a light and dark outline, with a shallow smile on his lips, "Did you disturb your rest?"
"No. I guessed you would come, so I didn't sleep well."
When Ji Zeyu heard the words, the smile on his lips deepened a bit. He was wearing night clothes, and his face was as lustrous as suet white jade in the dark.
Pang Xiao also laughed. The three of them, at least Ji Zeyu, didn't change.
The two grabbed two small wooden benches and sat down at random. They were all scrambling and rolling over in the bloody sea of corpses on the battlefield. They didn't care much about these environments. A steamy tub beside them would not affect their conversation at all. .
"I'll make a long story short." Ji Zeyu lowered his voice and said, "There are a lot of sages' eyeliners around here where you live. It took a lot of trouble to sneak in. It can be seen that the sage doesn't fully trust you."
"I know. I found those nails, but they didn't ask anyone to pull them out." Pang Xiao smiled, what Li Qitian did or said now seemed to be unable to break his heart, "I'm going to go out soon. It's impossible. Staying here all the time, this batch of nails will be pulled out, and there will be a new batch. The sage has angered the sage, but I am worried that he will be detrimental to my family. "
Ji Zeyu smiled: "Don't worry, I will arrange for people to watch this place. Although some brothers accepted the reward from the saint this time, most of them refused."
"I'm in the same situation here." Pang Xiao smiled and said helplessly, "The Holy Master has grasped the hearts of the people. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, we know exactly what he is going to do."
The two of them thought about this time at the same time.
They saved Li Qitian after several weighings, but before Li Qitian could warm up the throne again, he in turn dispersed the forces in their hands. Even if it's innocuous, it's chilling enough.
However, for Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao, this did not affect the next plan.
"You're going to the north someday, right?"
"Well. I'm ready, and now I'm just waiting for the Holy Master's orders."
Pang Xiao thought of the situation in the north, and his brows could not help but wrinkle tightly, and the center of his eyebrows were twisted into pimples.
Siqin came prepared and joined hands with Tianjizi. Although he believed in Ji Zeyu's ability, he was also worried about his safety.
Siqin is an unscrupulous person, but Ji Zeyu is not a sinister and cunning person. I'm afraid that Ji Zeyu will use the mind of a normal person to measure the thoughts of such a person as Siqin, and he will not be able to guess at all, but will fall into the trap.
Seeing Pang Xiao's concern, Ji Zeyu smiled, "I'm fine here, if I go to the north, I might retake the Longchung Army, even if I don't lead the Longchung Army, I'm very familiar with everything in the north. Tartar The matter is urgent, and the sage will not embarrass me, and will definitely give me the support of power, which is different from the beating you have here, you don’t have to worry about me at all.”
"Having said that... Well, a man doesn't need such a mother-in-law, and I do worry about you. But I also know that you know what you're thinking, cunning and vicious, and after ascending the throne in that way, he is even more eager to give Ana Sun Khan takes revenge, you know, people with a guilty conscience will always do some extreme things to cover up."
"Siqin is really cunning, don't worry, I will pay attention to it." Ji Zeyu looked at Pang Xiao with a smile, and he understood Pang Xiao's worries about him, because at this time he was also worried about Pang Xiao, and he was worried about Pang Xiao. His trust is even more undisguised, "I have also dealt with Siqin for many years, and I still know some of his tactics."
"He also knows your method."
Ji Zeyu nodded and admitted: "Yes, we are old enemies. But this battle is inevitable. If we can't stop the iron hoofs of the Tartars, Dazhou will become a foreigner to rule. Those people are used to plundering and suddenly see us. With such a fertile and fertile land, how can they think about how to let the people recuperate? They will only intensify their plundering. At that time, it is almost inevitable that life will be ruined, even more terrible than being ruled by the faint king of Dayan. "
It is rare for Ji Zeyu to say so many words to people in one breath, and it is only when he is facing Pang Xiao that he will be so close.
At the beginning, they fought together as three brothers in the world. Although Li Qitian has changed a lot since he ascended the throne, Ji Zeyu has never changed to him.
Every time Pang Xiao is with Ji Zeyu, he can relax and let go of his guard, and he doesn't have to worry that his inappropriate word will cause trouble.
The two of them couldn't help but feel relaxed, and even the extremely upright sitting postures that they had cultivated for many years were relaxed at this time.
"Don't just focus on me, isn't it in danger when you go to the south?" Ji Zeyu sighed, "The people in the old capital of the Yan Dynasty don't have to hate you from the old and stubborn ones in the capital. You are dragging your family with you. Although Yuchi Yan He doesn't have any great talents, but there are many people around him who hope to restore the country to help him make plans. This is the territory of the Dayan Dynasty, but you are fighting alone in the enemy group..."
When Ji Zeyu said this, the more he felt that Pang Xiao's situation was already difficult.
Pang Xiao could understand Ji Zeyu's concern, stretched out his arm and patted Ji Zeyu's shoulder: "Good brother, I know your concern. In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is the south or the north, the current situation is not very optimistic. Parting, we don't know what the situation will be when we meet again next time, we can only take care of each other."
"Yes." Ji Zeyu said with a smile, "For us, life and death have been put aside for a long time, and it is not a bad thing to wrap a corpse in horse leather. It's just that now you have a tie, you have to work harder to survive. If you have any difficulties, you can Send someone to come to me at any time, and you know how my people can contact you."
Pang Xiao nodded movingly, "You too. Find me anytime, you know all the things under my command."
"Well." Ji Zeyu also nodded.
The two men looked at each other, both worried about each other.
As they thought, it may also be an honor for a man to fight on the battlefield, and the shroud in horse leather may also be an honor. But now Pang Xiao has a woman who hopes to spend the rest of his life together, and their child is about to be born, it is impossible for Pang Xiao to not care about anything like before.
Sure enough, men will become weak when they are concerned. But for Pang Xiao, this kind of weakness felt like a sweet treat.
The two discussed the situation in the north and the south in a low voice. Pang Xiao told Ji Zeyu all the crises and countermeasures that he could think of. Ji Zeyu did the same. He also gave Pang Xiao a detailed guess about the situation in the south. .
When the two discussed the rise of the war, they could hardly control the volume of their speech, or they were afraid that the sound of speaking would disturb the spies outside, and they could not suppress it.
After the two of them exchanged information, Ji Zeyu got up and said goodbye after seeing that it was getting late.
Pang Xiao stood by the window and watched Ji Zeyu's figure hidden and in the darkness of the night. After a long time, he packed up and sighed and went back to the bedroom.
In fact, both he and Ji Zeyu deliberately avoided heavy and suffocating topics.
None of them can guarantee that they will have a chance to meet alive in the future.
But being a general is so helpless. Who let them live in troubled times.
Pang Xiao lightly went back to the bedroom. He was afraid that the cold air on his body would startle Qin Yining, so he stood at the door of the house for a while, making sure that his body was not cold, and then he crept back to the bed.
He and Ji Zeyu's low voices did not disturb Qin Yining at all.
Looking down at Qin Yining's sweet and well-behaved sleeping face, Pang Xiao's heart was already surrounded by warm and soft honey. He lightened his movements and quietly lay beside her. He knew that she was in front of him, so he didn't get too close. Looking at her from a distance.
No matter how much irritability, as long as he stays by Qin Yining's side, Pang Xiao can quickly adjust his mood.
Even in order to protect Qin Yining and their children, he can only succeed in this trip south, not fail!
The team led by Pang Xiao and Qin Yining set off the next day. Qin Yining sat in the carriage, not daring to look directly at the weeping Sun and Ma, but smiled at Qin Huaiyuan and nodded to Cao Yuqing who was not far from Qin Huaiyuan's side, then pulled him up to warm up. curtain.
When the team left the city gate, even Tiangong seemed to feel the sadness of parting, and there was a flurry of snow.
Pang Xiao sat on the horse, gave directions in front of the city gate, and led the convoy to slowly leave the capital.
Lu Heng, who was wearing a squirrel cape, stood inside the city gate, hiding half of his face in the hood, and looked blankly at the carriage that Qin Yining was riding in, slowly driving away, and then turned around.
"Master, it's getting cold, you should be careful." The attendant diligently held up an oil-paper umbrella to cover the snow.
Lu Heng didn't answer, he just walked on the green brick road with a blank face, before asking for a long time, "Are all the people in Liangcheng properly arranged?"
