Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining hadn't been so cheerful for a long time. Ever since she returned to Hou's mansion, her life has been like walking on thin ice, all she wants to do is to live her life. Later, she experienced the loss of her grandfather's family. She was forced to participate in the peace talks.

Counting everything down, in less than half a year after she returned to the mansion, she had been thinking more than fourteen years outside, and her suppression and restraint had also reached the limit.

Today, it seems that all her troubles have been thrown away.

Gradually slowing down, looking at the man in the black python robe sitting on the tall horse, Qin Yining's mind was in a trance for a moment.

The tall and handsome man sat on top of the black and shiny horse, with a straight back, with the masculinity and heroism unique to a soldier, with his long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, high nose and thin lips. Kind of cheerful and innocent.

The scenes since the acquaintance came to mind, Qin Yining's face flushed uncontrollably, forcing himself to look away, for fear of being burnt by his demeanor and sharpness.

Pang Xiao rode his horse to the front, and both of them restrained the reins. Baiyun and Wuyun seemed to be familiar with each other.

Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining with a smile, "How? Do you feel better after running for a while?"

Qin Yining's cheeks were flushed, and he nodded heavily: "I haven't run around so freely for a long time. Thank you for giving me Baiyun."

"If you want to thank me, is it just verbal?"

With a flick of the reins, Pang Xiao rode in parallel with Qin Yining, two sweaty horses, one black and one white, slowly walking towards the official road.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Is Wang Ye such a stingy person? Well, how do you want me to thank you?"

"I want you to promise each other, do you agree or not?" Pang Xiao laughed.

Qin Yining's cheeks flushed red, and he stared at him with red cheeks, "Why does the lord always joke like this, and he is not a disciple, but he keeps this kind of words on his lips, so that no one can laugh at it."

"Who dares to laugh at me?" Pang Xiao leaned closer to Qin Yining and looked at her seriously: "Besides, I'm not joking."

Qin Yining pursed her lips, her long eyelashes flickered without saying a word, she just let Pang Xiao hold her reins and let the white clouds and the dark clouds run side by side.

Pang Xiao's angle,

He could see her crimson ears and neck, as well as her long eyelashes that trembled like butterfly wings when she was nervous. Pang Xiao was overjoyed when she saw that she didn't speak.

If she doesn't refuse, she doesn't hate him, maybe she also likes him.

No rush, no rush, as long as she doesn't hate him, there is hope.

Pang Xiao chuckled softly, and suddenly urged the horse to run towards the official road.

Qin Yining was taken aback, and quickly grabbed the reins, "Why did you suddenly speed up, it surprised me!"

Her hateful words were transmitted to his ears by the wind, soft and soft, making him itch from the bottom of his heart.

With blue sky and green trees, the sky is high and the earth is wide, he is riding his beloved horse, and he is also carrying his beloved woman by his side. Pang Xiao only feels an unprecedented satisfaction at this moment, and a sense of pride arises spontaneously, which makes him laugh out loud.

The laughter was long, and Hu Zi and the two elite tiger guards who followed behind could feel the joy and pride, and they all laughed out loud.

Hu Zi remembered the battle song in the army, so he pulled his neck and sang loudly: "'Hey with iron armor and a long knife. Fighting with Zi is a long way.'①"

Hu Zi's voice was between the juvenile and youthful, loud and clear, between the vast world, and suddenly such a full-fledged singing voice appeared, and Qin Yining was agitated both physically and mentally when he heard it.

Just as Qin Yining looked back, Pang Xiao's deep and rich singing voice rang out beside him: "'We are in the same position as the enemy, and we will live and die together. When we go to war with your son, we will never give up.'"

The two elite tiger guards also sang loudly together: "'Treading Yanran, Chasing Huer. Fighting with your son, singing fearlessly!'"

The man's deep and rich voice has no tactful skills, only full of pride. In such a vast world, there are comrades on the side, and there are blood rushing. , Qin Yining's heart trembled, his cheeks were dizzy, and he even felt the anticipation of riding a horse on the battlefield.

These are the men who really drink horses on the battlefield. Even if they are of different countries and are in a chaotic world, they would rather be slaughtered than protect their own country.

But what about the prosperous and prosperous Beijing in the Dayan Dynasty?

Qin Yining couldn't help but feel a little more lamented when he thought that Jun Jun and the Demon Empress were having fun all day long, and that they had the guts to murder heroes, but they didn't have the courage to bend their bows in battle and step on the outside.

After running for a while, Pang Xiao slowed down.

Qin Yining looked closely, but saw a large group of people beside the official road not far away. Although the distance was still far away, she could see at a glance that the leader was Qin Huaiyuan in a red official uniform, and the rest were all dressed in In the official uniform, because they didn't know each other, they could not see their faces, but they could tell that there were officials of the Great Yan Dynasty and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this group.

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat, and looked at Pang Xiao inquiringly.

However, Pang Xiao had already let go of her reins, and led Hu Zi and the two elite tiger guards to go immediately.

Qin Yining naturally slowed down the horse's hoof, and stopped far away with Bingtang.

Bingtang was also a little stunned, and whispered: "Girl, they are..."

"I'm afraid I'm here to say goodbye. Today should be the day when the lord departs." Qin Yining couldn't hide the complexity in his expression, and sighed softly, feeling unspeakably disappointed.

This person tricked her out, fearing that he also wanted to meet again.

It's just that she had the joy and happiness just now, but suddenly she was facing parting. Qin Yining's heart was so sad that she couldn't tell. She was surprised to find that there were tears in her eyes.

Really bad.

What is her relationship to him? Why is she sad?

Qin Huaiyuan saw that Pang Xiao and his party were still followed by his daughter, and the horses Qin Yining and Bing Tang rode were both exceptionally steed, taller than Dayan's horses, so he knew that this should be given by Pang Xiao. , it must have been Pang Xiao's plan for them to come out today.

Qin Huaiyuan was a little helpless.

Many officials from the Ministry of Rites were present to see off today. The rumors between Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had spread all over the city. They were both expressing their intentions in public and sending off the house. Now that Pang Xiao was going to return to China, a place where there should be no female relatives. There actually appeared a female relative who saw him off. Wouldn't this make the relationship between the two more solid?

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had exchanged greetings with Pang Xiao, and they said nothing but polite words.

The team of seeing off and escorting moved forward neatly.

Taking advantage of the fact that Pang Xiao rode his horse and led his men to the front, Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly walked up to Qin Yining and said, "You and Miss Tang should go back first."

Qin Yining nodded and agreed.

Who knew that the distance was so far, Pang Xiao could still hear the movement here, and turned around and said, "This place is very far from the capital, and it would be unsafe for Miss Qin to go back alone. She accompanies her, and it's okay to follow Qin Taishi back to the city for a while."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at each other with expressions like this.

Lian Shengjie stared at Qin Yining sitting on the white horse in a daze, his eyes full of envy and covetousness.

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyuan could only sigh, got on his horse, and said, "Just follow, and go back with your father later."

Qin Yining had no choice but to nod, and gave Pang Xiao a distant look.

Although he knew that he might be reluctant to leave suddenly, and just wanted to spend more time with her, he planned everything, but he refused to tell her how he felt, which made her very upset.

Who knew that Pang Xiao, who was stared at by Qin Yining, not only was not angry, but also burst out laughing, and continued to chat with the officials around him, but Qin Yining's face flushed with anger.

While speaking, the team moved forward for about half an hour, and the civil servant who was seeing off was about to return. On the next road, the soldiers of Dayan who were responsible for protecting the safety of the envoy and the Jinghu guard beside Pang Xiao continued to escort him. forward.

The team slowly stopped, and Pang Xiao said to Lian Shengjie who was accompanying him: "This king has been recalled to Beijing. In the future, the indemnity between Yan and Zhou will be handed over to Lord Lian. I hope you will not forget your business. Don't live up to the emperor's grace."

The corners of Lian Shengjie's mouth twitched. Now he is afraid of being beaten by Pang Xiao, and when he sees him, he wants to hide. Even if he speaks in a high-level admonishing tone, he only wants to let Pang Xiao get out of the way.

So Lian Shengjie bowed his hands very respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry."

Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Among the people who saw him off, there were a few who suspected that Pang Xiao's status in Emperor Zhou's heart had declined, and they weighed it again.

In the end, Pang Xiao was the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty's worshiping brother. If his status really declined, how could a proud person like Lian Shengjie be convinced by Pang Xiao's admonition? I am afraid that the authenticity of the rumors has to be considered.

Pang Xiao has already pushed the horse towards Qin Yining.

The dark clouds were black and bright, the white clouds were silver and white, and the two equally precious horses and horses met each other and rubbed their necks.

Pang Xiao, who was sitting on the dark cloud, looked at Qin Yining with a smile on his face, and saw that Qin Yining couldn't wait to jump off Baiyun's back and fled.

"You have to say goodbye to you for thousands of miles. Miss Qin, take care."

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, "Prince Zhongshun, take care."

Pang Xiao surrendered to Qin Huaiyuan again: "Qin Taishi."

Qin Huaiyuan also said politely, "Your Highness has a smooth journey."

The hatchback said goodbye, and Hu Zi also made a face at Bingtang.

This time it's a real goodbye.

Pang Xiao and Hu Zi turned their horses and walked towards the front of the team.

Qin Yining frowned slightly and looked at his back.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a majestic and mixed sound of horse hooves on both sides of the road. Looking left and right, there were more than 30 horsemen rushing out from behind the mountains and trees on both sides. The sword's edge shone brightly in the sun, and rushed out with murderous aura.

"Kill the surname Pang!"

"kill him!"

...

The roars of more than 30 men resounded through the sky, and they rushed into the team in the blink of an eye.

No one could have imagined that assassins would be ambushed on the way to see them off!

Qin Yining pursed her red lips tightly, assessing the strength of her own side and the other side. Just as she was about to turn back to talk to Qin Huaiyuan, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist. The next moment she vacated her body and fell into a warm embrace.

Pang Xiao rushed over and took her from Baiyun's back into his arms. He took out his saber and slashed at the blade in front of him. The scabbard hit the dark cloud, and the dark cloud was like a black lightning bolt. , with Pang Xiao and Qin Yining galloping forward, hurried out of the team to see off, leaving the chaos behind.

"Don't let them run away! Run after them!"

The assassin's roar shook the sky, and he even chased after him.

①: From the military song "Ma Ta Yanran" in the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. The allusion "Yan Ran Le Shi", Dou Xian went out of the fortress to pursue three thousand miles, smashed the northern Xiongnu, climbed Yanran Mountain, carved stones and recorded merits. At that time, the soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty sang this military song to achieve great victory.
