Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao looked solemn when he heard this. It was about Qin Yining, and it was like touching the tip of his heart. Not to mention that Li Qitian hadn't done that yet, even if someone just talked about it, Pang Xiao felt unbearable.

Seeing Pang Xiao's expression so ugly, Tao Jun couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, ordinary people may not pay attention to what Pang Xiao did for Zhou Dynasty in the past, but they are also in the military, but they are very aware of it. They absolutely did not believe the rumors that Pang Xiao was treasonous. Just like Pang Xiao, a person with a very high reputation in the country and great military exploits, even if he went to the Tatars, how could the Tatar Khan dare to really reuse him? What if he only thinks about his homeland? What if he wins more hearts and minds in Tatar and has a higher voice than Khan?

Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the Holy Sage's move was a move done out of fear of Pang Xiao.

"Okay, I understand." Pang Xiao said with a smile: "I will pay more attention to these things. But I think that the Holy Father should also consider the national prestige when acting. If a woman goes to seek peace with the Tatars, word will spread. There’s no need to save the face of coming to Dazhou.”

Tao Jun nodded and said, "I hope so."

Pang Xiao then asked about Tatar's recent situation.

If it were anyone else, Tao Jun would not easily inform him of such important military matters. But the person who asked the question was the God of War, and he held Ji Zeyu's token in his hand, so he would not hide it and introduced the current situation of Tatar in detail.

Pang Xiao listened very carefully, and often commented and reminded Tao Jun of some things he needed to pay attention to at the border.

Seeing that Pang Xiao was still so concerned about the situation at the border even though he was suspected by the Holy Emperor, Tao Jun couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

Since ancient times, it has been common for people to achieve great feats and shock their masters.

Needless to say, Pang Xiao's biological father, Pang Zhongzheng, was also jealous of the emperor of Northern Ji because of his great achievements. Didn't he deliberately fall into the trap and kill with a borrowed knife to get rid of him?

Pang Xiao was deeply inherited from Pang Zhongzheng and was still a talented general, but now he was also jealous of the emperor. This situation is really sad.

When Pang Xiao returned to his room, Qin Yining had already taken a shower, changed clothes, and arranged herself. She was sitting on the heated kang near the window with her half-dried hair, using a silk lamp to mend a pair of trousers for Pang Xiao.

Hearing the sound of opening and closing the door, he raised his head and said with a smile, "I'm back."

"Yes." Once he saw her eyes filled with starlight, Pang Xiao's heart softened completely. He quickly walked closer, leaned forward and kissed her forehead, and saw that she was sewing for him. Pants couldn't help but smile and said: "Let the servants do these things."

"I have nothing to do, and you were followed all the way by a group of rough men. How can they do needlework well?" Qin Yining did not raise his head, his fair hands moved very dexterously, and the orange-red light illuminated the scene. She was covered with a soft veil, which made people's hearts warm just by looking at it.

Pang Xiao's heart was instantly filled with happiness, and he kissed her cheek again before saying, "I'm going to take a bath."

"Go, the maid has prepared the hot water. I'll put the clothes of joy on the screen."

"knew."

Pang Xiao smiled and touched her face, then quickly went to the bathroom, washed herself properly, changed into a brand new middle coat, wiped her hair and walked out.

Qin Yining had finished sewing his trousers and was now helping him deal with a fray on the cuffs of his outer robe. When he saw water dripping from his hair as he walked, he smiled and said, "Sit here and I'll wipe it for you. "

Pang Xiao smiled and sat in front of Qin Yining, while Qin Yining knelt down behind him and wiped his hair carefully with a cotton handkerchief.

Pang Xiao closed his eyes, enjoying the beauty and tranquility of this moment. When she gently massaged his scalp with her fingertips, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'm tired of raising my arms all the time, so there's no need to press them."

"How tired can you be?" Qin Yining refused to stop and asked, "General Tao just invited you over. What's the matter?"

Pang Xiao didn't show any emotion at all, and said evasively: "I asked him about the current situation in Tatar.

Si Qin once again recruited troops and food, and it seemed that he still had not given up his obsession with invading the south. I always felt that it was a bit evil that he was so obsessed with making up his mind to expand his territory. "

Qin Yining pondered for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but said: "Actually, I feel the same way. I always felt that Siqin was planning to seize the political power of the Tatars. Although his ambitions are great, he is now the Khan of the Tatars. And after his operation, his voice in Tatar is very high. Being the overlord of one party should be in line with his wishes. But now he shows too much ambition to conquer the world, which makes me feel a little surprised. .Actually, I have an unconfirmed guess."

"Oh? Tell me?"

Pang Xiao stretched out his long arms and pulled Qin Yining over and sat him on his lap.

Qin Yining put down the veil, held his arm and said seriously: "This idea of ​​mine just came out of the blue. There is no evidence, and there are countless things to do."

Pang Xiao grabbed her delicate hand and played with it, and said with a smile: "Just say it, there are no outsiders here. And I have always felt that women have a very good sixth sense. You are like this, and so are my mother and my grandmother. Sometimes they have an idea out of nowhere, such as saying that it is dangerous to say something is impossible without any basis, but it turns out that what they said is right. So if you talk about it, maybe you can provide me with some ideas."

Qin Yining nodded and said: "I think that when the Great Yan war broke out, Tianjizi changed her name to Liu Xiangu and hid in Dayan in the name of evading tracking. On the surface, it seemed that she had been staying at Xiangu Temple, but in fact She has some dealings with the Demon Queen and the Hunjun, and also has a lot of dealings with the powerful people in the court. Although the dealings are not in-depth, sometimes if she wants to influence something, she only needs to be subtle.

"Later, when the Yan Dynasty was about to die, Tianjizi went to Tartar again. I also met her in the Tartar palace. At that time, her intention to stir up trouble became more obvious. She actually instigated Anari. Kill me. Even though Tian Jizi did not take action in all the subsequent chaos in Tatar, I always feel that these are inseparable from her."

Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao's expression, then carefully considered his words and said, "I don't know what Tianjizi said when she was famous for giving orders to the three of you at the time, but as a result, Li Qitian became more and more jealous of you. These days Putting these things together, I always feel that Tianjizi played a certain role in it, but I don’t know what her purpose is."

When Pang Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Before Qin Yining said this, Pang Xiao had never thought about this. But after she said it, he recalled what Tianjizi had done over the years, and he really felt like what she said, Tianjizi had always been involved in the affairs of the world.

"Yes." Pang Xiao said faintly, "What is she trying to do by doing this?"

Qin Yining pursed her lips and said, "Did you believe what she said about the Ziwei Emperor Star and the Three Evil Stars when she gave the order?"

Pang Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "I don't believe this."

"Mr. Mu told me that at the time, Tianjizi calculated that, 'In the troubled times, the demon fox came to the world to disrupt the fate of the previous dynasty, and the three evil stars: Greedy Wolf, Seven Kills, and Pojun assisted the Ziwei Emperor Star to reach the top. , to create a world of peace. The fox demon Chaosuo should be the Demon Queen of Dayan. The Greedy Wolf Star fell in the north, and now it seems that it should correspond to Utkin Khan. And Pojun, Qisha and Ziwei Emperor Star, It should have corresponded to Ji Lan, Li Qitian and you.

"After the Seven Killers reached the top, they were afraid that you were the original Ziwei Emperor Star, so they were particularly wary of you and were on guard against you at all times. However, Li Qitian's hostility towards Prince Consort Ji was relatively weak.

"I'm wondering, are these calculations really true? If they are true, what is the situation in the world like? If not, and Tian Jizi just said this deliberately, what is she planning?"

Qin Yining's brows knitted together while he was deep in thought. Now that the situation is so tense, Li Qitian's side has already started a battle and is waiting for them to return to the capital. If they are timid or irresponsible, they should fly far away to stay safe.

However, neither she nor Pang Xiao could completely let go of their responsibilities and let their families bear the consequences for them. So no matter how difficult the future is, they still have to return to the capital. Various factors that she couldn't figure out for a while made her even more troubled.

"Sister Yi? Okay, don't think about it." Pang Xiao called Qin Yining several times but didn't see her answer. Knowing that he was troubled by these things, he hugged her and shook her: "Just stay by my side peacefully. , I can solve these things. I also have ways to deal with the Holy Emperor's matters. You are weak and have experienced so many hardships outside. Now you think so much for nothing, aren't you looking for trouble for yourself? "

He placed kisses on her forehead, eyelashes and the bridge of her nose, and finally pecked the corners of her lips gently, murmuring: "Don't think about it, leave it all to me."

Qin Yining's lips and tongue were blocked by tenderness. The kiss was like a hot spring, gentle and gentle, making her feel comfortable both physically and mentally. She gradually softened into his arms, her body warm and emotional, just a matter of breaths.

The days in Tianlang Pass were more comfortable than those in Tianyu Pass.

Tao Jun summoned his brothers and his soldiers to hold banquets to entertain Pang Xiao almost every day.

Pang Xiao told Tao Jun several times to say goodbye and plan to return to Beijing, but Tao Jun always said: "Brothers and the prince haven't gotten together enough yet." Or he said: "There is another brother who arrived the day after tomorrow. If you admire the prince's name, you must meet him. The prince must wait for two days to give your brother this face."

How could Pang Xiao not see that Tao Jun was stalling for time?

We have met in the past few days. Whenever there is a chance, Tao Jun will either directly or roundaboutly persuade Pang Xiao not to return to Beijing. If he does, he will definitely fall into a trap and trap. It is better to live a comfortable life outside with the princess. , just find an opportunity to go back and pick up your family quietly in the future.

In this way, I lived in Tianlang Pass for more than twenty days without realizing it.

Yi Binghu was so worried that grass was almost growing on his head. He sent five secret letters to the capital in more than 20 days. Each letter described how arrogant and carefree Pang Xiao was outside, and explained Pang Xiao's crimes. It's clear and logical.

Just when Yi Binghu ordered people to send the sixth letter, a secret order finally came from the capital.
