Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also gathered with several advisors in the study room in the outer courtyard of the palace, waiting for Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.
Everyone's faces were solemn.
It was thought that Pang Xiao had made great achievements in the south, but now Yu Chi Chuan, the new emperor of Nanyan, was young and ignorant, and surrounded by powerful officials. Although Pang Xiao did delay his return to Beijing, it was insignificant compared to Pang Xiao's contribution.
Who would have thought that the Sage really did not care about his feelings or merits, and arranged such an official position for Pang Xiao.
It was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to be detrimental to Pang Xiao!
The treasury was empty, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum was interrupted several times by various reasons. To put it bluntly, it was a lack of people and money.
It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Under such conditions, no matter who will face it, it will be a huge mess. When Pang Xiao takes office, the situation will not improve at all. At that time, wouldn't it be possible to accuse Pang Xiaoan of making a mistake at will
Xie Yue said with an atmosphere and a sigh: "I can't think of how many years a hero like the prince has been born and died for the court, and now he has fallen to such a point."
Several advisors also sighed. Pang Xiao trusted them and never treated them badly. Seeing that Pang Xiao was about to end up with all his bows and bows, everyone felt bad.
Xu Weizhi said regretfully: "The lord is a magnanimous person, but he is always misunderstood and guarded against. So far, the lord has been given to such an official who has to bear the blame anytime, anywhere. If the lord does not respond, I am afraid the environment will be more severe in the future. Harsh."
Xu Weizhi's words were euphemistic, but all the people present were smart people, and the content of what he implied was very clear.
Xu Weizhi supported Pang Xiao's "preparation" early.
Xie Yue nodded slightly, glanced at the few people present, and carefully observed everyone's reactions in his heart.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi are always together, they know each other, and both of them also participate in some secret affairs at the same time, so they can trust each other. But there are some counselors under Pang Xiao that they can't fully trust.
Therefore, today, before the prince and the princess are here, they use such words that people can't grasp, but can be understood by everyone. It is a disagreement, and precautions can also be taken early.
After chatting for a while, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining came.
Hearing the footsteps outside, several people stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Quick waiver, everyone, please sit down." Pang Xiao took Qin Yining's hand, took the first place with her, and said with a smile, "I invite you all to come here today because I want to inform you that the sage has issued an imperial decree, this Wang is about to go to Huichuan County to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum. When this king improves and some arrangements are made, he will set off. You gentlemen have followed this king for so many years, and the environment in Huichuan County is truly impressive. It's not good, if anyone has other arrangements, or wants to recall the retirement, they can come to find this king in private later."
No one could have imagined that at the most critical moment, Pang Xiao would give everyone a chance to quit the "camp".
Pang Xiao was afraid that his situation would be in danger and would be tiring for them, right
All the advisors, including Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, couldn't help but be moved.
Human hearts are all made of flesh. The reason why these people follow Pang Xiao is also because Pang Xiao knows how to make good use of people and gives them a space to show their fists.
Now is the time when Pang Xiao is in the most difficult situation. If he leaves at this time, where will he have the face to say goodbye to his past brother
Thinking of this, several people headed by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi all stood up and saluted respectfully, "This old man should do his best for the lord."
Pang Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, this king would also like to thank you gentlemen. In this case, gentlemen, please prepare early, and when this king recovers, you can set off."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Pang Xiao chatted with everyone for a while, then called out.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao go back to the inner house hand in hand.
At this time, it was the time of warm spring, and there were new greens everywhere, the willow branches pulled out tender buds, and the grass was covered with small unknown flowers, not to mention the potted plants of new flowers that could be seen everywhere in the house.
Qin Yining looked at the peaceful and peaceful scenery and sighed softly, "We haven't stayed for a few days, and we're going to Huichuan County again. There must be busy people turning their backs, and I'm afraid they won't have the time to pay attention to the surrounding scenery."
Pang Xiao lowered his eyes, and from his angle, he could see Qin Yining Yaqing's long, supple hair rolled up in a bun, and a pearl flower head fringed hairpin swayed slightly as she walked, shimmering with a soft and elegant pearlescent light.
Pang Xiao held back the words in his heart for several days, and finally he was able to say it.
"Sister Yi, in fact, I've been thinking about it these days. Mr. Xie and I can handle the matter of Huichuan. I also have a lot of people under my command. You..."
"You want me to stay?" Qin Yining stopped and looked up at Pang Xiao blankly.
Thousands of troops and horses were not afraid at all before, but now a little woman stared at them with trembling hearts, tongue knotted, and even did not know how to explain for a while. He cares about Qin Yining so much, why is he willing to make her angry? Where else could she misunderstand him
"I feel like..."
"Zhixi, you forgot what we discussed earlier. Why do you want to hide me in a place where no one is there when something happens? Why don't you think about it, I'm not one of those weak women, I can fight side by side with you, Won't hold you back, or even help you?"
"I know, I've always known." Pang Xiao's voice was a little hurried, and he took Qin Yining's hands and said, "I never said that you would be a hindrance, and I also know that you are not an ordinary weak woman, because you are by my side, I Many problems can be solved easily, it can be said that with you, I am even more powerful."
"Then what are you doing with this thought again? Are you afraid that Huichuan's trip will never come back?"
Qin Yining's words hit the nail on the head, but Pang Xiao couldn't find any words to deal with, so he could only say: "Sister Yi, what others don't know about is nothing, you know, the treasure is hidden there, paper can't hold fire, then Once there is a little change, it will lead to death.
"Besides, Guan Dahu and Liu Ban are not very resourceful people. Although they want to take the treasure for themselves, they may accidentally sell us all. I'm enough there alone. I really don't need you anymore. risk."
Qin Yining tapped Pang Xiao's shoulder with a pale finger, "I'll say this one last time. You and I are companions fighting side by side. I don't accept your proposal. In addition, I've come up with a proper way to explore it first. Know the truth of the treasure. I plan to set off for Huichuan County first, just like when we entered Beijing."
"No, Sister Yi..."
"Why not? I've advanced to the capital, what's the danger?"
Pang Xiao was speechless and shook his head.
Qin Yining said again: "Or is it that I did something wrong and ruined your major business?"
"How could it be!" Pang Xiao said anxiously, "You don't do very well, even Mr. Xie and the others boasted that you don't know how much, saying that you are a rare female Zhuge in the world, and you can see ten steps in one step. The fire is pure, and they will all bow down."
Qin Yining's tense expression eased a little, "I can't talk about female Zhuge, but I do have an idea about this matter. Just don't intervene. Besides, I will go to Huichuan County first, not Longtan Tiger Den. I Go alone first, and you will take someone later to set off with Lu Heng. In this way, there are not many people who will notice me. Besides, I am a female class, will they think that a female class can do anything? "
"Sister Yi, I know you're smart. You've been in danger a few times and survived with your own clever strategies. It's really amazing, but you can't take chances..."
"Where am I taking a chance? I expected that nothing would happen." Qin Yining said solemnly, "This time you will assign me a few guards. I will bring rock candy and Jiyun, and I will set off with the head of the family. To the sage I told the courtiers that you first arrange for me to go to Huichuan County to buy a house and make some arrangements. You just took office, and you don’t know how long you will be staying in Huichuan County. It's just right for me to go. Whether it's outsiders or your subordinates, this is the best decision."
Pang Xiao had to admit that Qin Yining's analysis was correct.
But although he knew intellectually, emotionally, Pang Xiao couldn't bear Qin Yining no matter what.
He previously proposed to let Qin Yining avoid danger, but he made up his mind several times, because sometimes he is so arrogant and always feels that it is safe to keep people under his nose. But when he really entered the Dragon Lake Tiger's Den, he was afraid that he would really tire Qin Yining.
Unexpectedly, this girl not only refused to agree, but also made more excessive demands.
Qin Yining said, "Zhi Xi, now is not the time to play with emotions. I'm going to buy a house and go under the banner of a princess. Who will do what to me? Those people want treasures, not to scare the snakes. They are stupid to move. Me. Because of this, I am a female generation, and it will be more convenient to do things after I go."
Qin Yining reiterated the stake to Pang Xiao carefully, and finally said: "Don't forget, the two of us have no way out now, and of course we don't have any worries, what to do, just let go, don't It’s good to miss the opportunity, we can finish everything as soon as possible so that we can be reunited with our family.”
Pang Xiao frowned and looked at Qin Yining, feeling distressed and guilty, worried and helpless.
"Sister Yi, you always make me speechless."
"That's because my method is good." Qin Yining thought for a while, and then said, "This time, let Young Master Mu follow you and arrange some bodyguards for me."
Pang Xiao was anxious when he heard it, "No, I can rest assured when the wood follows you."
"Fool. Huichuan County is not dangerous to me, but the capital is a dragon's den for you. Who can predict the future? What if that person's brain is pumped and someone kills you? You live well, I Only then can there be hope, if you are gone, wouldn’t I have to let others pinch them?”
