Qin Yining and Pang Xiao spent some time in the Temple of the Earth, and when they returned to the mansion, it was already dark. The rain has not stopped for the past few days. The sky is so gloomy that it seems to collapse at any time. In the evening, it is already dark as if it were night.
The two carefully avoided people and entered the mansion through the side door.
Just after returning to the room, Ji Yun said excitedly: "Princess, someone just came, guess who it is!"
Seeing that Ji Yun was so excited, Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, "Who makes you so happy? Guard Tang didn't go out."
Pang Xiao went to change into his home clothes and walked out slowly while adjusting his neckline. Hearing this, he let out a chuckle, "Tang Xiu is a good one, what do you think of Ji Yun?"
Ji Yunshy's face was flushed, and he stomped his feet, "Princess, you are too bad, people are talking about serious things!"
"What I said to the lord is also serious."
Seeing that Ji Yun's face was already blushing, Qin Yining was worried that the girl's skin was thin, and if he continued to joke, he would be annoyed, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, who are you talking about?"
Ji Yun wanted to sell her off, but worried that Qin Yining would continue to tease her, and hurriedly said, "It's Hall Master Liao and Jing Zhe who are back!"
"Seriously!" Qin Yining widened her eyes in surprise and stroked her palms, "So, Xiyue's affairs have stabilized?"
Pang Xiao also smiled and said, "It must be, where is the person now? Please come."
"Ai!" Ji Yun nodded with a smile and ran out quickly.
Qin Yining's irritable mood suddenly became clear when he was provoked by Bian Ruohan, he took Pang Xiao's hand and shook his head and looked up at him: "Zhi Xi, do you think father and the others are going well? Hall Master and Jing Zhe have sent them back."
"They must be safe. First, we have already made the most appropriate preparations. Second, don't you know your father-in-law's ability? I think Xiyue and the others combined are not enough to compete with father-in-law. With my father-in-law in charge, I am most at ease."
Qin Yining nodded happily, "Me too, the whole family is entrusted to my father to protect me, and I'm relieved. Besides, Aunt Cao is still here. Aunt Cao is very skilled in martial arts. If you cooperate with the people you arrange, you will be able to protect everyone well!"
Pang Xiao also nodded heavily.
Qin Yining was talking, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes, "I don't know how tall Brother Zhao and Brother Han have grown. The next time they see me, maybe they won't recognize me."
When Qin Yining burst into tears, Pang Xiao's heart was broken, she hugged her tightly and swayed, and kept kissing her forehead and cheek: "Be good, don't cry. You think, father-in-law and grandmother are here, Didn't your grandmother also think of a way to let the children see the portrait? You can rest assured that the children will not forget us. Besides, even if their memory is not deep, in the end they are our children and our bloodline. Connected, get back together more, accompany you day and night, and you can get acquainted again soon."
Qin Yining nodded, wiped the tears on Pang Xiao's shoulder, and said in a choked voice, "Every time I think about why I was making a fuss about the separation of flesh and blood, I can't wait to bite that person to death!"
If it wasn't for Li Qitian, how could they have gotten to this point? She and Pang Xiao have compromised and retreated again and again, but they have not exchanged for a peaceful life, and she will never compromise again in the future!
"Princess." Bingtang's voice came from outside the door, "People have arrived at the flower hall."
Qin Yining was busy wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Pang Xiao twisted a warm handkerchief, leaned over and carefully wiped away the tears on her face, then went to fetch her usual jasmine flower mulch.
Qin Yining dug a little bit with his fingers to level the face, and smiled at Pang Xiao with his eyes bent.
Her crying eyes were slightly red and swollen, and the laughing silkworm at the moment was more obvious. She looked so pitiful and cute that Pang Xiao wished he could make the person smaller and put him in his arms, and wished he would not leave her even a step.
Touching her cheek with a big hand, Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front."
Qin Yining nodded and walked through the veranda hand in hand with Pang Xiao until they reached the flower hall.
As soon as he entered the door, all he saw were acquaintances. Liao Zhibing brought two members of the Qingtian Alliance, Jingzhe, Xiaoman, Xiaoxue and Dahan.
Seeing Qin Yining and Pang Xiao, they all came forward to salute.
"My lord, my princess."
"Quickly waive the gift." Qin Yining and Pang Xiao stepped forward to help each other, and the two sides greeted each other warmly.
Liao Zhibing said with a smile: "Alliance leader, fortunately not humiliated, Xiyue's affairs have been arranged properly. You don't have to worry, Mr. Qin is really alive, and Mrs. Qin is now in control of everything big and small. , the method and route of entering and leaving Xiyue have already been figured out, you really don't have to worry."
"Yes, Princess." Jing Zhe also smiled and said, "Before coming, Concubine Cao also told us to give you a message, everything is fine at home. Although the old lady had a minor illness, she is fine. Brother Zhao and Brother Han, they are the treasures of the whole family, and they are good everywhere."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Princess, Mrs. Zheng also asked someone to draw a portrait of you and the prince. Brother Zhao and Brother Han must go to see the portrait before they study all day."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao both laughed when they heard it, "Grandma really has a way."
"Yes, Mrs. Qin praised Mrs. Zheng's thoughtful thinking." Xiaoman said, "The princess and the prince didn't see it, Xiyue is now being managed in an orderly manner, and our family has gone and integrated into the environment very quickly. Even Brother Zhao and Brother Han, the common people respected them very much when they heard that they were the children of the goddess and the king. They all have to stop and salute.”
Qin Yining was amused. The people of Xiyue respected the goddess. She was forced to be labeled as a goddess at the beginning. She never thought that she could still use this goddess status to protect her family. Isn't this God's favor for her
Qin Yining nodded again and again: "That's good, everything goes well. Do you have anything to do when you come out this time?"
Jing Zhe said with a smile, "Aunt Cao ordered us to come out and follow you to protect you. Old Master Qin and Old Madam also thought it was very good. They said that there are more dangerous things for you and the prince to be outside. We are here. At any rate, you don’t have to be constrained when employing people, and you can trust it.”
Liao Zhibing also smiled and said, "I mean the same thing. Although the lord has the lord's people around the lord, he is sometimes understaffed. With us here, the lord doesn't have to worry about the safety of the princess, and he can do his own thing. The princess doesn't have to worry about finding someone she trusts when she has something to do."
Qin Yining laughed: "Aunt Cao thought it was thoughtful. If there is no crisis on Xiyue's side, and you can come to me, it will naturally be even more powerful."
Pang Xiao also said: "That's fine, you all know the temperament of your princess, you would rather take risks and do it yourself, I am worried that she will take risks, and there is no other way, you are here, can enter Following her, I can rest assured."
Liao Zhibing, Jing Zhe and the others all laughed, "The princess has the courage and courage, and she is willing to take risks for the prince if she doesn't want to miss the opportunity, but the prince can rest assured that with us here, even if you risk your life, you will never let the princess. in danger."
Pang Xiao nodded, and stood up to salute everyone, "Then I'll do more for you."
Liao Zhibing and Jing Zhe were startled, and hurriedly stood up to avoid Bu Pang Xiao's salute, and turned to salute, "Your Highness will kill us, and it is our duty to be loyal to the Concubine."
The two sides talked for a while before Liao Zhibing said, "Alliance leader, there is actually one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"When I left Xiyue, I noticed that the Tartars were dispatching troops in the desert. Because the opponent's defense was too tight, and there were many dangers in the desert, we couldn't find out exactly what the Tartars were going to do. What. But looking at them, it looks like they have a tough battle to fight."
When Qin Yining and Pang Xiao heard the words, their expressions instantly became tense.
The war between Da Zhou and the Tartars lasted for so long, and they imagined how much hardship Ji Zeyu had to work hard to calm the war in the north and return peace to the people.
Peace was not easy to come by, and Siqin suffered as well. They all believed that the Tartars had lost the ability to continue to invade the north, and they could go on their own development in peace and harmony.
But if the Tartars really secretly dispatched troops and horses, things would not be easy.
Even if Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were not used to Li Qitian's actions, they would never expect another war. Once the Tartars and Da Zhou went to war, Da Zhou's tense treasury would drag down the entire war. To increase the collection of various extortionate and miscellaneous taxes, the original natural disasters, coupled with the military disasters, will the people still live
"I see. I will investigate this matter carefully." Pang Xiao said earnestly, "Thank you for the news, otherwise if you are not prepared, once the Tartars move their troops, the people at the border will be unlucky."
Liao Zhibing said: "Your Highness, please don't be so polite, we did what we should do."
Qin Yining said with a smile: "I have already ordered people to prepare wine and food. We must have a drink today, and we will say goodbye."
Liao Zhibing, Jing Zhe and others naturally agreed readily.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao then called Huzi, Tang Xiu and others again, and they all gathered in the flower hall to drink and chat.
At the same time in the Lu family, Lu Heng sat in the first place, looking at Lu Xiong kneeling on the ground gently with a smile on his face, his fingers gently twisting back and forth, obviously thinking about it.
Lu Xiong was extremely uneasy, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
He had just told Lu Heng about the treasure hidden in the stone factory, but this one's reaction was different from what he expected. He didn't seem to be surprised, and he had no interest in the treasure at all, and even suspected him this time. Is the purpose of coming here to harm people
Lu Xiong regretted a little. He shouldn't have volunteered. It's better to leave it to Shi Fang to do it.
Lu Heng's smile deepened a lot, the curvature of his lips rose, and he said quite amusingly: "So you said that the treasure is in the pile of stones in the stone factory, and you know about which stones are hidden treasures?"
