Return of the Swallow

When Qin Yining brought Ji Yun to the front of Ning Yuan with a half-worn oil-paper umbrella, he saw Qi Tai, who was wearing a royal blue muslin cloth and holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Seeing Qin Yining come out, Qi Tai quickly put down his umbrella and saluted, "Fourth Miss."

"Get up quickly, Uncle An is an old man who has been by my father's side for many years, but don't salute like this, it will break me." Qitai's family name is An.

Qi Tai refused to listen, and after bowing respectfully, he said with a smile, "Master Hou has ordered the villain to come and send you a letter, saying that there is something important to tell you, this time Zi Hou Ye was invited by the emperor to enter the palace to speak, and he had no time to spare. I was afraid that he would be free later. Therefore, I specially ordered the villain to come and tell you, please wait at the foot of the mountain tonight at Xu, the Hou Ye will come to see you. ."

Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile, "I see. Did my father say anything about it? Why can't he take the time to visit? The old lady and the family miss my father very much."

"It's really too busy. To tell you the truth, it's the villain who walks beside the master. These days he's also busy hitting the back of his head." Qitai looked around and saw that there was no outsider, so he lowered his voice and said, " The emperor is afraid that he already intends to surrender, and it will naturally involve a lot when it comes to such major events, the Hou Ye discussed with the emperor all day long, where is the free time."

Qin Yining nodded understandingly and sighed: "It's really embarrassing for my father. I also bothered Uncle An to take care of my father and told him to take rest."

"Yes, the villain will naturally pay attention."

"How is my father recently? How is Aunt Cao?" Qin Yining was concerned about Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing again.

Qi Tai smiled and said: "Master is in the army, although he is hungry and full, he is stronger outside. Aunt Cao has been disguised as a man to protect him, but the two of them are like friends and don't talk much. , but they are in good agreement with each other.”

What Qitai said was telling Qin Yining around the corner that Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing still had no husband and wife relationship.

Qitai is someone who is by his father's side all day long, so he knows that he can't be wrong.

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief for her mother and said with a smile, "I see. Thank you, I will be waiting for my father at the foot of the mountain tonight."

"Okay, then the villain is leaving, and I have to go back to the Marquis and listen to the instructions." Qi Tai saluted.

Qin Yining nodded and watched Qi Tai's back go away, then turned around and said to Ji Yun, "It seems that the emperor really decided to surrender."

Ji Yun said: "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say so,

But after hearing the news of the emperor's decision to surrender, the servants were really relieved. "

Qin Yining said with understanding: "I understand. Let's not talk about the rest. At least once there is no more fighting, there is no need to besiege the city. We can also have another way to survive. As for the righteousness of the country, it is not something you and I can consider."

"Yes, and once the war is over, the lord will definitely come to look for the girl. The girl has suffered so much these days, and the lord must be very distressed."

Ji Yun thought about the importance Pang Xiao attached to Qin Yining, and now he only imagined that when the two meet in the future, as a bystander, he felt that the reunion scene must look very touching.

Qin Yining touched his hot ears, although his face did not change, but his heart was inexplicably excited.

Although this kind of excitement, it should not come when the Dayan Dynasty is about to perish. But Qin Yining felt that due to the tossing of the emperor when he was in power, the country had already been hollowed out. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Qin Yining also knew that such a court's national fortune would not last long.

Now that he knew that Yuchiyan had intended to surrender, Qin Yining felt lighthearted.

The two entered the door of Ning Yuan, and saw that the Sun family was already looking forward to it.

Qin Yining went to tell the Sun family about Qitai's purpose, and then emphasized the state of Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing when they were defending the city.

Sun's brows were relieved, and her heart was let go. The irritability of being hungry recently disappeared, and she asked with a smile: "Sister Yi, you can't lie."

"How could I lie to you? This is what Qitai just said. He follows his father all day, and he must know a lot about us. Unless this news is Qitai coaxing me, my daughter guarantees that there is a clear relationship between father and Concubine Cao. Innocent."

Sun's face was a little red, and she felt that she was jealous and made her daughter look at her. She was a little embarrassed, and coughed: "You girl said, do you think I am the kind of jealous person?"

"Of course not, it's just my daughter's carelessness." Qin Yining stuck out her tongue, and the amused Sun Shi couldn't help laughing.

Although the people in the hospital were starving, but after a long drought, they heard the happy laughter of Sun Shi and Qin Yining, and their moods were much better, and their irritability and panic had also settled on such a rainy day.

Qin Yining spent the day as usual.

When Xu arrived, he took Ji Yun and Bingtang out of Ningyuan.

As soon as I went out, I saw Mu Jinghu, who was as thin as a hemp pole, wearing a light blue gown, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Are you going out?" Mu Jinghu's delicate brows were a little more angular because of his thinness, and his eyes were very clear.

Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile, "My father has something to do with me."

"Then I'll follow in the dark."

Qin Yining said with some guilt: "If Young Master Mu is tired and resting in the mountains, everyone will not be able to eat enough these days. No matter how high your cultivation is, Young Master Mu is only a mortal body. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. You can't get enough to eat, where do you get your strength? I'm really ashamed, this time I'm just going down the mountain to see my father and have a word, you don't have to follow me."

Mu Jinghu frowned and pondered for a moment, "This is not good, I promised the fox to protect you, don't worry, I have my own measure, and I and you eat better, you are fine as a little girl, I am A martial artist who cultivates both inside and outside, how can you still be weak? Or are you worried that I will eavesdrop? Then I will hide in the dark, you won't let me out, I won't come out, why not?"

"What did Young Master Mu say? I'm not worried about eavesdropping. I'm just afraid of making you tired. That's all, since that's the case, Young Master Mu should hide in the dark. If something happens, he will also listen to my secret code to act."

"Okay." Mu Jinghu nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's go."

Qin Yining knew that Mu Jinghu naturally had his own way to follow, so he, Bingtang and Jiyun, holding the lamp in hand, walked along the winding path all the way down to Changchun Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, I saw a carriage parked on the road not far away. The gas lamp of the carriage was swayed by the night wind. The air was filled with the fragrance of wet grass after the rain, which made Qin Yining feel better again. Some.

The three walked quickly to the carriage. The man standing in front of the carriage also greeted him.

Qin Yining looked carefully, but found that it was not Qin Huaiyuan who greeted him.
