Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining took Lian Xiaozhu to hide behind a bush, and listened to the crackling sound of the burning trees, and felt an indescribable sense of fear and loneliness in his heart.

Qin Yining is a person who has lived in the mountains. She has feelings for every grass and tree in the mountains. She even thinks that the grass and trees have life and wisdom. This fire will burn down how many plants and trees, and I don't know how many small animals will suffer.

But in order to protect Lian Xiaozhu, she had to do it again.

Holding Lian Xiaoporg's warm little hand tightly, Qin Yining understood Pang Xiao's embarrassment more and more at this moment.

In order to protect this child, it was uneasy for her to set fire to the heart of the mountain. When Pang Xiao fought and killed for the stability of the world and for the future of most people, I am afraid she would feel more uncomfortable in her heart?

Just thinking about this, Qin Yining suddenly heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air in the distance. She hurriedly stood up and did not wait for a response. There were sounds of arrows in more than a dozen directions around her.

Qin Yining guessed that these should be the search and rescue teams that went into the mountains. I just didn't expect that there would be so many teams searching.

Xu Shi had never seen so many arrows suddenly sounded at different distances. Lian Xiaozhu was so frightened that he clutched Qin Yining's sleeve tightly with his little hands and called out to his sister nervously.

Qin Yining patted her head soothingly, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, this is the one who is looking for us. It is the one who is looking for my sister to go home."

Lian Xiaozhu seemed to understand but said: "My sister's house, someone coming?"

"Yeah, so you don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Even Xiaozhu nodded heavily, but the hand holding Qin Yining's sleeve did not relax at all, and he was obviously still afraid.

Qin Yining was actually a little nervous.

She was also afraid that the chasing soldiers hadn't cleared away yet, but she was attracted by her fire.

Not long after, Qin Yining and Lian Xiaocong heard footsteps approaching them at the same time. The sounds of those stepping on the snow and dead branches were very clear, but they seemed to be stepping directly on people's hearts.

The two held their breath and hid behind the bushes, not daring to come out easily.

From the gap between the branches and leaves, Qin Yining saw that the leader was a thin and hunchbacked young man. This man was actually dressed in the uniform of a Hu Ben army captain, and the dozen or so people behind him were dressed as Hu Ben army soldiers.

how come!

The Hu Ben army had already returned to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty by order.

How can it appear in the mountains?

Could it be that Pang Xiao came here specially when he knew that the subordinate's team was attacked halfway?

When Qin Yining's heart was turbulent, the young man at the head had already shouted in a hoarse voice: "The Hu Ben Army came to look for Erbai at the order of Prince Zhongshun..."

He repeated this sentence ten times.

The general next to him took his place and shouted ten times louder, and then the next person picked up.

One after the other, the Tiger Ben army shouted loudly as they searched.

Qin Yining finally let go of Gao Xuan's heart, full of joy and emotion.

Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao would let the Hu Ben army come to find her! People who were afraid she didn't know him used this "password".

Qin Yining took Lian Xiaozhu's hand and left the bush.

As soon as she made a move here, the soldiers who were searching for her immediately found her, and they hurriedly looked back.

The young man at the head immediately came to salute, "Are you Miss Qin?"

The youth's facial features are very ordinary, but his eyes are extremely sharp. When he looks at Qin Yining, he looks at it with seven points and three points, but Qin Yining does not notice the hostility.

"I am. Where is your prince?" Qin Yining put his arms around Lian Xiaozhu's shoulder and patted her comfortably.

The young man glanced at Lian Xiaozhu again, and then he cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Miss Qin, please come with us."

As he spoke, he instructed the person beside him, "Shoot an arrow."

The man immediately fired another loud arrow.

Not long after, there was a sound of arrows in the far northeast direction.

The young man smiled and said, "Miss Qin, please."

Qin Yining was puzzled and nodded without revealing his face.

With the protection of the dozen or so people around, Qin Yining and Lian Xiaocong didn't have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts, and they didn't have to worry about being ambushed by pursuers, so they walked very smoothly.

At the foot of the mountain, the young captain looked into the distance, pointed to the direction where the smoke was rising from the back of the mountain, and said with a smile, "Miss Qin, please come with me. It seems that the mountain search team has already converged there."

Qin Yining nodded and said suspiciously, "Why didn't your lord come to me in person?"

The young man looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "After the lord returned to Beijing, the Holy Saint sympathized with the lord's hard work, gave the lord a hundred acres of fertile land, a hundred taels of gold, and ten beauties, and gave him another month's vacation, and ordered the lord to hand over the Hu Ben army. Hu Fu, now the head coach of the Hu Ben Army is Lord Zuo Jin Wei Zuo."

Hearing this, Qin Yining stopped, and whispered, "Saint cut away the prince's military power?"

Seeing that the two of them had something to say, the ten or so Hu Ben army stepped back and followed from a distance.

The young man nodded heavily.

Birds hide their bows, nothing more than that.

Qin Yining pursed his lips and frowned, "Then why did the Hu Ben army come here? I remember that the Hu Ben army returned to Beijing in the morning. If there were no accidents, it should have been in the capital at this time! come?"

The young man shook his head.

"It's not the decree of the Holy Spirit. It's the prince who sent troops privately in order to seek ***."

"Oh my God, he's crazy! He was already jealous. Privately deploying troops doesn't mean handing over the handle? Where's your prince? Where are you now?"

The young man looked at Qin Yining a little differently from before.

It seemed that the woman the prince looked at was not a scumbag.

"Ms. Qin is right. In fact, the prince was resting at home. I heard that the Duke of Dingbei suddenly led people to attack the officials of the Yan Dynasty who had returned to Dazhou. He was in a hurry. I personally went to the military to dispatch personnel, and came to search for you and your family's whereabouts after a long-distance raid.

"Although the military talisman of the Hu Ben army is in the hands of Lord Zuo, but the brothers of the army are only convinced by the prince. After the prince said a word, everyone followed. The Hu Ben army has a total of 100,000 troops, and the prince brought out 20,000. Lord Zuo Afraid of not being able to communicate with the saint, he hurriedly followed.

"When I left the capital, Lord Zuo sent troops to impeach the prince privately with the intention of rebelling. This Shu was stopped by the prince's people. A few days ago, Lord Zuo secretly reported an impeachment against the prince, but the secret report was still stopped by our people.

"However, because the lord is privately deploying troops, if it is uncovered, it would be equivalent to rebellion, so the lord has been hiding his deeds along the way, and he has not met with Lord Zuo, nor has Lord Zuo caught him directly. The evidence is that when Miss Qin met Master Zuo later, she must be careful and don't say anything.

"The lord rushed here day and night with his people, and he searched the area for five or six days. He didn't find you, but he found a lot of other people who were scattered. I just found out that there was a fire in the mountain, and the lord said it must be You are here and instructed our team to find you. During the period, we made contact with the arrow to make sure that we have found you. The prince didn't have time to meet you, so he went back quickly.

"Because this time the prince claimed to be seriously ill, and thanked the guests behind closed doors to hide the public's eyes and ears. Although the secret report of Lord Zuo was intercepted, it is difficult to guarantee that the sage would not know the news from other channels. I'm afraid the reason for being seriously ill can't stop the sage. The lord is worried that the sage will search the palace, so he hurried back."

Speaking of this, the young man looked at Qin Yining with a bit more resentment.

He almost didn't point directly at Qin Yining's nose and scolded "beauty in trouble".

Qin Yining's face was also a little hot. Not just because of shame, but more because of emotion.

She knew that Pang Xiao had always liked her. When facing her, Pang Xiao changed his indifference to others, and his enthusiasm was like a fire. He never shied away from liking her, but Qin Yining never imagined that he would She cares so much.

In order to find her, she would rather face the charge of disrespecting the decree and intend to treason, and also lead troops out to find her.

She really could not have imagined that Pang Xiao would pay so much in order to find her!

He was deprived of military power, and the situation was difficult. Now, in order to find her, he dug a deeper hole for himself and jumped into it.

How could he pay so much for her!

He was so affectionate that she felt that if she didn't burn herself out in this relationship, she wouldn't be able to face Pang Xiao's sacrifice to her.

Qin Yining pursed his lips and took a few deep breaths before calming the turmoil in his heart, and said sternly, "I dare to ask who this young general is from the prince's side? You don't look like a lieutenant, so you can be a counselor by the prince's side. It won't give in."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Qin has good eyesight."

This time, where is his voice the voice of the youth? Obviously a hoarse old man.

"The old man Xie Yue, whose name is Hongchang, is the aide of the prince. He has been with the prince for five years. Because he is good at planning and proficient in the art of disguising, the prince only brought the old man out this time. The prince is worried about others and you. If I can't explain clearly, it will cause you to misunderstand, and I am afraid that others will not be able to explain some of the events of the big week during the period, so I specially ordered the old man to follow Miss Qin to solve your confusion."

Qin Yining looked at his young face well and nodded with a smile, "It turned out to be Mr. Xie. It's really disrespectful."

"Don't dare." Then the slightly hoarse voice of the young man resumed, "Miss, let's go back to the camp first, and see Master Zuo later, you just don't have to say anything."

Qin Yining waved his hand and said, "No hurry, I already know the situation now. Let's come up with a countermeasure and go back soon. After entering the camp, it will be inconvenient."

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Xie Yue said in surprise, "does Miss Qin have a plan?"

Qin Yining said: "I have some ideas, and I would like to ask Mr. to help me with the staff."

"I would like to hear the details." Xie Yue handed over.

Qin Yining said: "The Lord Zuo Jin Wei Zuo, since he can be promoted by Sheng to become the new coach of the Hu Ben Army, he must not be a fool. His secret report has not been answered by the emperor, and he will definitely be suspicious and will report it again. Once, don't stop you."

"Oh?" Xie Yue raised his eyebrows, "Miss Qin, what do you mean?"
