"How can I afford the praise of the two gentlemen, it's just a little insight from some women and Daoists, and it's just a trick to attract jade." Qin Yining thought for a while, and said, "I mean, when I enter the city, the prince and I should still have a relationship. Separate and go."
"Let's go separately?" Pang Xiao asked inexplicably, "How to go separately?"
Qin Yining said: "It doesn't mean that the troops are divided into two groups, but I brought some people into the city to play a striker. We may not have come back for a long time. After all, the capital and the old capital are far away, and news will inevitably be missed. At that time, when I came back suddenly, I still don’t know the attitude of Jin Shang, and I have to check the facts. One of them is that the prince has been in the old capital for a long time, and the mountains and the road are far away, and the attitude of the courtiers and the people in the capital to the prince is not clear. I also plan to build momentum for the prince first. It will not be too late for the prince to enter the city when the preparation is ready."
When Xu Weizhi heard the words, he couldn't help stroking his long beard, nodding his head and saying, "What the princess said is very true. There is no harm in making all the preparations before entering the city."
Pang Xiao hesitated.
Since he couldn't figure out Li Qitian's attitude towards him, even if he wanted to test it, he couldn't use Qin Yining as a pathfinder.
Qin Yining saw Pang Xiao's hesitation at a glance, and smiled: "Don't worry, I went to Beijing with great fanfare, and no one dared to touch me. They want to use me to deal with you, but they are even more embarrassed."
Xie Yue heard the words and said: "My lord, this old man thinks what the princess said is reasonable."
Pang Xiao frowned deeply, and the word "Chuan" was squeezed out between his brows.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "I understand your lord's worries, but you should understand that this is the capital city, you can do things unscrupulously outside, but you can't do it here, once you do it, it will be a lifetime in the future. stains."
"Of course I understand. But that was you in the palace..."
Pang Xiao did not continue, but everyone understood what he meant. He was still afraid that Qin Yining was almost framed in the palace. If it wasn't for Qin Yining's own intelligence, just because he was far away from the sky, the last thing he could do was collect her corpse...
Qin Yining smiled and said, "You are too worried. Am I not in the palace?"
Both Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi felt that Qin Yining's plan was feasible. But they also knew that Pang Xiao valued Qin Yining and would never allow Qin Yining to take risks for him. As staff, they didn't have much persuasion, and everything had to be done by Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao pondered for a long time, and thought carefully about the situation in the capital in his heart, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, then you can bring some more people."
"No. We didn't bring many people back. I brought my maid, and just give me a few guards."
"No, you only leave a few people for me, and you take the rest with you."
"This is the capital. Even if I take dozens of us with me, if something really happens, can they still fight one hundred against one hundred?"
Pang Xiao was speechless for a while.
How many soldiers are guarding around the capital? Not to mention dozens of people, even hundreds or thousands of people, Li Qitian really can't do anything about them.
That's why Pang Xiao always complained about his incompetence.
Seeing Pang Xiao's annoyance, Qin Yining wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't say much in front of Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, so he only patted Pang Xiao's hand comfortably.
"Don't worry, I promise you'll be fine. You order someone outside the city to pay attention to what's going on in the city, and you'll show up when the time is right."
Pang Xiao pursed his lips and said for a long time, "It's my incompetence."
"What did the lord say? I came to fight side by side with the lord. If I seek comfort, where should I go to hide?"
Xie Yue sighed in his heart, and persuaded him: "What the princess said is. Wang Ye, the princess is all for your sake, so don't let her get away with it."
"Yeah, Princess Gao Yi, Xu Xun also admires him." Xu Weizhi also handed over.
Qin Yining waved his hand quickly, "Don't do this, two gentlemen."
After listening for a while, Mu Jinghu said, "Don't worry, I will accompany the princess into the city."
Pang Xiao looked at Mu Jinghu, nodded heavily and said, "With you here, I can let go of most of my heart."
Mu Jinghu smiled and said, "It's the same sentence, nothing else is guaranteed, but I can do it to save the princess' life."
Pang Xiao nodded. Although he agreed to Qin Yining's proposal, he had already planned for the worst.
After the plan was settled, Xie Yue asked, "When does the princess plan to leave?"
"Let's go tomorrow, get things done earlier, or take a good rest at the palace."
When he left the capital, Qin Yining took his family and thought that he would never come back. The servants in the family who should be dismissed were dismissed. The house has been inhabited for so long, and I don't know what it has become.
After everyone discussed it properly, Pang Xiao ordered 20 Jinghu guards to come out.
"Add rock sugar and Jiyun, and you will bring wood."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded: "Don't worry. I will adapt accordingly, there will be no danger."
What can Pang Xiao say? As Qin Yining said, she is his partner fighting side by side, and she has never been the one hiding under his wings and asking him to protect her.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yining took the Jinghu guard selected by Pang Xiao and left the farm by car.
Pang Xiao, Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, Hu Zi and the rest of the dozens of people stayed in the farm for the time being. Pang Xiao arranged people and ordered them to take turns to pay attention to the situation in the city and report in time. Arrived just in time.
The first month in the north is still full of snow, and the snow this year is heavier than in previous years. The road is very difficult to walk. It should have been two days sooner, but who knew it took three days.
When he came to the outside of the city gate, it was already the beginning of the 24th day.
At this time, the gates of the city were closed long ago, and a curfew began in the city.
Qin Yining frowned and said, "It's too late for us to come back."
"Yeah, it's all the fault of the road. Princess, are we going to camp in the wild?"
Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "This is not necessary. Although there is a curfew in the city, the objects of the curfew are also divided. I am also a princess, let's take advantage of it once."
After speaking, he turned his head and instructed the Jinghu Guard named Tang Xiu: "Xiao Tang, you go to the sentry to check the origin of the city gate on duty today."
Tang Xiu nodded immediately after hearing the words, and urged the horse to go to the city gate.
Qin Yining sat in the carriage and watched the situation in front of the city gate in the distance. Tang Xiu raised his head and talked to the above for a few words, and then urged the horse to rush back, and said: "Back to the princess, the Chengmenguan surname on duty today is Gong, who used to be a soldier under the prince's command for two years, and now he has risen to the general flag. ."
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Your lord is really well-connected, just right. Take this and tell him, saying that the lord's family has been on the way back, and the journey has been delayed for too long. Now, ask him if he can be accommodating and open the city gate to let us in."
As he said that, he handed Tang Xiu a round jade pendant with a long tassel hanging from it, and it looked like a sword spike.
Tang Xiu saw at a glance that it was the tassels under Pang Xiao's sword. He took it with both hands and smiled, "Yes, I'll go right now."
