Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining's beautiful eyes blinked, and it took a long while to digest the meaning of Yuchiyan's words.

She was a little moved.

But more, it is unexpected and thoughtful.

She is not familiar with Yuchiyan, and he does this, it makes people feel that she and him have already sworn each other.

If there is such a thing, why should it be said in front of so many people? If he was afraid that she could not be humiliated and committed suicide, why didn't he quietly tell her to give her hope of living?

Now the officials accompanying the Ministry of Rites, as well as the 100 soldiers and 50 guards arranged by the emperor are all on the sidelines, which must be mixed with the eyes of people from different factions.

Yuchiyan wanted to tie her to his boat in public, thus completely pulling Qin Huaiyuan into a faction. She had completely ignored her boudoir reputation, and wanted to make everyone misunderstand that she had a private exchange with the prince, Private life.

Qin Yining admitted that he was too realistic.

But she was the daughter of the imperial master, she couldn't be like an ordinary woman who only talked about feelings and didn't analyze the situation of the court.

If Yuchi Yan was just a son of an ordinary family, she would feel that she was revealing her true feelings.

But Yuchiyan was the crown prince.

The prince's status is now in jeopardy.

The crown prince has a close relationship with King Ning.

When King Ning stole the rock candy, she came to rescue and fell in love, and was forced to pull the Duke Dingguo family and her father into King Ning's camp. Only then could King Ning successfully impeach Cao Guozhang, and only then did he offend the Cao family. As a result, the demon queen was framed in every possible way, leading to the death of Sun Yuanming, leading to the ruin of the Sun family's family, leaving so many women without support, and indirectly causing the mother's difficulties in the Qin mansion...

This series of chain reactions was caused by the calculations of King Ning and the Crown Prince.

She naively thought at the time that she was saving people.

But the cruel reality taught her a lesson, the blood of the Sun family is an expensive repair.

With these experiences, Qin Yining is no longer a little girl full of love and longing.

She smiled slightly, supported Bingtang and Songlan's hands and slowly got out of the carriage, stepped back two steps and gave a salute, and said crisply: "His Royal Highness, please respect yourself, since ancient times, marriage has always been based on the orders of parents and matchmakers. words,

His Royal Highness acting like this is not in harmony with the etiquette. "

Yuchi Yan was stunned when she heard the words, and then her white face turned red, she took two quick steps in front of Qin Yining, and reached out to hold her hand.

"Four girls, you misunderstood, I..."

With a crisp "pop", his hand grabbed hers, but she was immediately waved away by her other hand, making the back of his hand turn red.

Qin Yining frowned and said coldly: "His Royal Highness, men and women do not agree with each other! Although the ministers and daughters were ordered to participate in the peace talks, people from the outside world passed on the ministers and daughters all kinds of unbearable, but it was also the ministers and daughters who were willing to sacrifice for the country! Today, His Royal Highness the Prince To be so frivolous in public, it is too ignorant of the honor of the ministers and daughters!"

Yuchi Yan looked down at her hand in a daze, then looked at the hundreds of people around, and then looked at Qin Huaiyuan, who frowned.

A few simple brain circuits are finally connected!

Thinking that King Ning went to persuade his father to release him from the ground last night, and thinking that King Ning urged him to chase people this morning, some vague thoughts gradually formed in his mind.

He felt that he was being used, but he still didn't understand the specific details.

All he knew was that his confession did not bring tears to Qin Yining's eyes, nor did it bring her a touching gesture, but he became frivolous in public and looked down on her.

yes! She is not a brothel girl, she is a serious lady, even if there are only two people, it is a private exchange when it comes to face-to-face, not to mention that he has to grab people's hands when he is preaching loudly by more than 100 people...

Yuchiyan regretted it! His face was already purple.

"Tianhan, the prince is busy with official business, please come back." Qin Yining said, curtseyed, and got into the car again.

The prince froze in place, staring blankly at her graceful back.

Qin Huaiyuan watched everything on the sidelines, and naturally understood Qin Yining's considerations, and had a deeper understanding of her daughter's intelligence in her heart.

In the past, when she plotted with people in the mansion, it could only show her cleverness and means, but now her actions truly reflect her political acumen and overall view.

Her stern refusal was not only to protect her own reputation, but also to make people understand that he, Qin Huaiyuan, was loyal to the emperor, and even if he became the prince and the master, he did not become a knife in anyone's hands.

Moreover, she is a girl in her boudoir, and in the face of such a public molestation, she reprimanded with just words and justifiable words.

She also said that the marriage should respect the parents' orders, and it also left room for the Qin family to marry the prince.

"His Royal Highness, the auspicious time cannot be delayed, and the ministers will leave first." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and bowed to the prince, his attitude was no different from his usual courteousness, and people could not see what he was thinking.

Yuchi Yan's anxious forehead was sweating.

"Master, this palace..."

"His Royal Highness does not need to say more, the ministers understand."

What do you unserstand? ! I'm afraid you get it wrong!

Yuchiyan was screaming in her heart, and the corners of her lips moved, not knowing what to say.

Pang Xiao, who was sitting on a tree in the forest, leaned against the tree trunk again, closing his eyes and resting.

Qin Huaiyuan and Yuchi Yanli spent a few weeks together, then got on the carriage and ordered to set off.

The convoy drove slowly, Yuchiyan stood by the road with the servants, and after a long while, he came back to his senses, and got on the horse in a state of despair, but he was no longer in high spirits.

The servant who followed the waiter looked at the Prince's face and said, "Your Highness, the little lady of the Qin family is too ignorant of praise. His Royal Highness, such a romantic and suave person, is willing to ask her to be a broken flower and a willow, how dare she dare to be so arrogant. Your Highness, why don't you..."

"Go away!" Yuchi Yan threw his whip and said angrily, "Go to Prince Ning's mansion."

The inner servant was shocked to realize that he was flattering on the horse's leg, and he didn't dare to say any more.

The official road gradually returned to quiet.

Only then did Pang Xiao open his eyes and landed lightly.

Hu Zi followed closely, "Master, that crown prince really likes Miss Qin Fourth."

"He likes it. But his actions are too out of order." Pang Xiao walked towards the direction of their horses in the depths of the woods.

Hu Zi was surprised that Pang Xiao answered him, and hurriedly asked: "Master, although the Crown Prince did not consider the honor of Fourth Young Lady, it is not good to be like that in public, but he is also showing his true feelings."

"The person behind the scenes used his true feelings to reveal his true feelings. He was sold and returned to the number of people for money. It's not bad for such a prince to keep it."

"Master, I don't understand."

"Didn't he finally say that he was going to find King Ning?"

Pang Xiao had already walked up to the horses and untied the reins, "The prince's foot ban was only released last night, and he spent the whole New Year in the East Palace to think about it. He lifted the ban yesterday, and came in a hurry this morning. I did it. What a stupid thing, I went back to King Ning again, you still don't understand?"

Hu Zi blinked before making a long "oh" sound.

"It's King Ning playing behind the scenes again! He's trying to win over Qin Meng completely! Oh, last time he attracted Qin Meng, but not a single man from the Sun family was left. , so as to avoid a difficulty.”

Pang Xiao stroked the black and shiny horse he loved, and said, "She's a smart one." It was a waste of his sweat for her just now.

Hu Zi was surprised when he heard the words: "Master, do you mean that Fourth Young Lady did it on purpose?"

"Let's go."

"Hey, master, you haven't answered me yet."

Pang Xiao stopped talking.

Hu Zi sighed depressedly, followed Pang Xiao to lead the horse to the official road, and muttered: "Just the two of us, even if the Tartars come, what role can we play? Besides, they have a team of 100 for peace talks. Fifty gentlemen, at most twenty or thirty Tatars will come, and they will not wipe out all the peace talks.”

Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows to look at Hu Zi, and then pulled out a black leather rope from his neckline, with a small red jade whistle engraved with a tiger's head pattern on it.

Hu Zi said in surprise: "You Chuan Jing Hu Wei is here?"

Pang Xiao replied with a whistle.

A desolate, high-pitched eagle chirp spread across the sky.

In just a moment, ten strong men rode along the official road from the direction of Kyoto. They were all in their early twenties. All of them were tall and strong.

Seeing Pang Xiao, who was sitting gracefully on the black horse, ten people turned over and dismounted in unison, knelt down on one knee, and cupped their hands in unison: "Master!"

"Well, get up, you have worked hard all the way, and set off with me."

"It's my honor to be loyal to the master, what about hard work!"

The ten people mounted their horses again and followed behind Pang Xiao.

The tiger clicked his tongue.

Jinghuwei was carefully cultivated by Pang Xiao, and they were all people who were homeless during the war. On the surface, they were counted as the soldiers of Prince Zhongshun's palace, with only a hundred people. But these hundred people are the best selected from thousands of people. Those who lost the election were compiled into the Tiger Ben Army.

It can be said that most of the men in the Tiger Ben army who worship the prince are trained by the prince, and everyone wants to be a guard of the tiger and serve the prince closely.

Due to the instability of the imperial court, before the prince set off on the expedition, he left forty guards to protect the palace, hidden 20 guards to arrange tasks around the capital, and left six dressed as servants and servants to protect the old lady. et al. Only thirty-four people were brought out, and these thirty-four people had their own tasks.

Now I heard that Tartar spies sneaked into Dazhou, and in order to protect the enemy's daughter, the prince called ten at once.

Tiger didn't know what to say.

Pang Xiao and Hu Zi followed the Da Zhou Peace Talk team with ten elite tiger guards not far from them, so that the group could not find themselves and ensure the safety of the whole group.

In the evening, I really found the Tatars who were pretending to be mountain bandits all the way, and were led by Pang Xiao and wiped out all of them effortlessly.

For Qin Yining, the journey was peaceful.

For Pang Xiao and Hu Zi, it is not boring to loose muscles and bones all the way.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the team finally arrived outside Xihua City.

Qin Yining lifted the warm curtain on the car window.

The fiery red sunset is far away from the mountains, and the ancient city of Xihua City stands, staring at the swaying mountains and rivers of Dayan with sympathetic eyes. The two army camps in the wilderness were continuous, and the wild winds they breathed were mixed with gunpowder smoke and blood.

This is the cruel battlefield.

Qin Yining's expression became solemn.
