"Yeah." Qin Yining said amusingly, "What kind of popularity is Tianjizi? Young Master Mu's good-natured temper has been offended invisibly."
Pang Xiao also found it very interesting, "I think it doesn't matter if she is locked up or not. If she wants to leave, there are many ways to get out. When it's fashionable, we won't delay. Besides, when we go back, anyone we trust will ask for it. Take away, and there are not so many extra people to guard her."
Qin Yining also thought so, and smiled: "Actually, I think Tianjizi won't cause trouble anymore. It's actually what she wants to see Mu Gongzi to protect you."
I didn't care at first, just because Tianjizi wanted her to die.
Now that Pang Xiao is forced to gradually take the "right path", Tian Jizi has relieved a large part of his heart disease, and I am afraid that he will not care as much as before.
Pang Xiao naturally understood what Qin Yining meant. He sighed and touched Qin Yining's head with his big hand, "Let's get ready these days. Let's try to set off sooner."
"Well. Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Seeing Qin Yining's serious expression, Pang Xiao asked strangely, "What's the matter, tell me."
Qin Yining hesitated, and finally called Lian Xiaozhu over, and instructed Bingtang and Jiyun: "You guys stay outside and don't let anyone approach."
Seeing Qin Yining being so solemn, Pang Xiao immediately straightened his sitting posture.
When Bingtang and Jiyun saw this scene, they were really worried, for fear that something happened to Lian Xiaozhu. Bingtang has some hunch in her heart. Although she doesn't know exactly about Lian Xiaozhu, she has been with Lian Xiaozhu for so long, and she is very concerned about Lian Xiaozhu, so she can always find some clues.
But the master has his own measure, and it is not their turn to speak.
Jiyun and Bingtang went out to guard.
Qin Yining pulled Lian Xiaozhu closer.
Four years later, Lian Xiaozhu is no longer the malnourished look she used to be. She is already a thirteen-year-old girl, with a slim appearance, wearing a light green Bijia, a light pink cotton jacket inside, and her hair combed. Wearing pink and white pearl flowers, she is as delicate and beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Lian Xiaozhu has been by Qin Yining's side for so many years, and his speech has long been neat. Seeing Pang Xiao's serious expression, he tugged Qin Yining's sleeve a little nervously, "Sister..."
When she first came, she dared to challenge the "uncle" in front of her, but after a long time, she was still afraid...
Qin Yining said, "I'm sorry, Zhixi, I've been hiding one thing from you."
Pang Xiao looked at Lian Xiaozhu in surprise.
Qin Yining also looked at Lian Xiaocong, took her hand, and whispered to Pang Xiao, "When Dayan died, my father and his family moved to the capital of Dazhou, and when they passed through Liangcheng, the team was killed by Ji Lan's troops. Intercepted, in order to escape, I was forced to flee into the deep mountains, and I encountered a small porridge."
"Yes, you told me that when you almost froze to death on the mountain that day, it was the porridge that saved you. Her father went, and her ten-year-old child couldn't survive on the mountain, so you brought her down and recognized her as your sister. Generally educated."
Qin Yining nodded, "Yes, I said that to you and my father at the time. But in fact, I deceived you about this matter. Lian Xiaozhu is not actually Lian, her name should be reversed, her surname is Zhou , Xiaozi Xiaolian. She is not fourteen this year, but thirteen."
Pang Xiao was stunned: "Zhou Xiaolian, her surname is Zhou?"
"Yes. Her father is Wei Xian, and her title is Yongfu."
Pang Xiao turned pale in shock: "You mean, she is actually Princess Yongfu of Beiji Country?"
"Yes." Qin Yining nodded.
Pang Xiao couldn't believe it for a while: "You, what's going on? Why haven't you told me?"
Qin Yining hugged Lian Xiaocong, patted her slightly trembling hand soothingly, and said softly, "When the Northern Ji Kingdom was not yet subjugated, the last emperor saw that the situation was not good, and the emperor only cared for the young Princess Yongfu. , then sent a letter to Liu Jinxuan General Liu, asking General Liu to take the princess away.
"General Liu took the five-year-old Princess Yongfu out of the capital, and she has been living in seclusion in the mountains, but they have been being chased and killed, and General Liu died not long after the pursuit.
"Princess Yongfu was only five years old. She lived alone in the mountains without knowing how difficult it was to survive. She lived alone until she was nine years old until she met me. Because she was young when she left the palace, her memory was blurred for more than four years. I haven't seen anyone in the time, and when I met her, she couldn't even speak, like a little savage."
Qin Yining hugged Lian Xiaozhu with a sad face: "When I saw her, I thought of myself. I know that the Lord of Beiji has done a lot of evil, and it is not wrong to destroy his dynasty, but Princess Yongfu is so young, she has never done anything evil. , Even she was implicated by her parents, and she suffered so much at a young age.
"I thought at the time that your father, General Pang, died because the king of Beiji was stunned, and Beiji was also destroyed by you. You and Xiaozhu have a grudge against your father. Even if she is still a child, I'm afraid you will …”
"You're afraid that I'll kill her, so you've been hiding it from me?" Pang Xiao's voice was gentle.
Qin Yining nodded, "Xiao Porridge has followed me all these years, and I have been teaching her to understand this country and the world today. She gradually grew up, learned to read and read, and learned pharmacology and medicine from Bingtang, and she also knew right from wrong. So even though she has the blood of the Zhou family on her body, she is really two completely different people from Beijihunjun."
Pang Xiao nodded without expressing his position, and asked again: "Then why did you tell me now? Why did you bring up the revenge of killing your father in front of your face, are you not afraid that I will kill her because I am afraid of her?"
"Because you are my husband-in-law, we have lived for so many years, and I understand you. If you talk about the revenge of killing your father, didn't my father use the alienation scheme against Pang Zhongzheng and Bei Jihun? Only the Lord of Ji Guohun will seize the opportunity to make a black hand on the Pang family.
"But now, you are very kind to me, and you never hated my father. You are very clear about right and wrong, but in fact, I care about it, and I have been hesitant to tell you. When I was a child, you once came to see it. Passed me, when you were fifteen or sixteen years old, you could already tell right from wrong and knew that I was innocent, and now you are not confused, and naturally you can tell whether Xiao Porridge is innocent or not."
Pang Xiao smiled, "But she is Princess Yongfu. I can tell whether she is innocent or not, doesn't she hate me for destroying Beiji?"
Lian Xiaozhu looked at Shang Pang Xiao's sharp gaze, and first subconsciously shrank her neck, but she straightened up immediately, stubbornly blocking Qin Yining's neck.
"Don't say that, elder sister, elder sister is a good person! I followed elder sister and also learned how to be a good person. I know that many things that my father did at the time were wrong, and elder sister taught me the principle of prosperity and decline. Teach me the change of dynasties in history.
"The Great Zhou destroyed Beiji because my father, the emperor, wasted money on the people and ruined the loyal and good people. Only when the country of Beiji was exhausted would the country be destroyed. You are the one who led the army to enter, but you are for the common people to live a good life, you Not bad either.
"My father is very good to me, but he is too bad to the people of the world. Although I remember that you were the one who destroyed Beiji, I have never regarded you as an enemy, not just because I understood the truth, you did not What did you do wrong is because your sister's husband and sister likes you very much, so you are definitely not a bad person.
"My sister kept it from you in order to protect me. She has been teaching me the truth, and I will not harm you, so you are not allowed to be so cruel to my sister!"
Even Xiao Porridge's voice was clear, jade like gradually pearls, and he said everything that was on his mind like he poured a carload of walnuts.
Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing and crying. Could he be an unreasonable image in the eyes of this little girl
But the sentence she said "sister likes you, so you must not be a bad person" really made him feel good.
It's just that Pang Xiao deliberately teased Qin Yining, and deliberately just smiled and said nothing.
Smiles are sometimes more deterrent than words. When people speak, they can still judge people's mood from the tone and content. But when people don't say a word, the consequences of just thinking about it will make people terrified.
Even the hairs on Xiao Porridge's back stood up, and her scalloped teeth were biting her lower lip, and her whole body was tense.
Qin Yining was not someone else, she knew Pang Xiao too well, and when Pang Xiao's expression changed, she knew that he didn't take it to heart, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she was cherished and moved by Pang Xiao's open-mindedness.
Seeing that this person is still funny at this moment, he took Lian Xiaozhu's hand and made her stand in front of him, gave Pang Xiao a white look, and reassured him, "Don't pay attention to him, your brother-in-law is like that, sooner or later. Seriously, he's not angry."
Lian Xiaozhu looked back at Pang Xiao's fierce face, and was very suspicious of Qin Yining's judgment.
"Sister, or else you should send me away, so as not to be suspected in front of me."
Pang Xiao laughed angrily, "Doubt what?"
Lian Xiaozhu said: "Of course I suspect that I have the intention to avenge my father."
Pang Xiao pointed to his heart, "I'll just sit here and ask you to take revenge. Let's see if you can kill me."
Lian Xiaozhu's face turned pale with fright, but stubbornly said: "I explained it just now, how can you not understand people's words. I don't want to take revenge, historical changes are the general trend, my sister taught me so much, just for the sake of Let me live well. I'll kill you now, can I live on my own?"
"It's like you can kill me." Pang Xiao laughed.
"You! Bad guy, bad uncle!" Lian Xiaocong stared angrily.
Qin Yining saw that the topic of these two people was skewed, and shook his head amusingly, and the initial anxiety was also dissipated by this mess.
Pang Xiao was called Uncle, and he remembered that he was no longer confused. Qin Yining had only just turned ten years after the new year, and he was a little rough in the wind and rain on the battlefield, but he was a lot older than Qin Yining. Compared to Xiao Porridge, he looked more like an uncle, and he couldn't help but snorted, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
Seeing this, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Okay, I'm telling you this in order to tell you a secret. When we return to Beijing, I want to turn around and go to the mountain back then."
