Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining didn't wait long when there was a rush of hooves on the official road.

She calculated that the time was almost there, thinking that Dayan's person who was in charge of escorting Pang Xiao was chasing after him, so she led Baiyun out of the jungle, got on his horse, and headed towards the official road.

Under the moonlight, the silver-white coat of the white clouds glowed with a layer of white light, galloping across the glittering grass wet with dew, like a god horse, and the person sitting on the horse was dressed in plain brocade. With a touch of matt, it is difficult to be ignored.

About 20 people were chasing after Dayan, and they all slowed down when they saw Qin Yining.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yining rode his horse to the front. When everyone saw that it was her, they were all surprised: "Miss Qin?"

Qin Yining nodded: "It's me, where are my father and Master Cui?"

"It's really Miss Qin? That's great, Marquis Anping and Lord Cui are behind. I'll be in charge of chasing down assassins and protecting Prince Da Zhou. It'll be fine if Miss Qin is fine!" You can't stay here, why is Miss Qin here?"

Before Qin Yining could answer, the man said again, "I will arrange for someone to protect the young lady here, and the Marquis of Anping and his party will arrive later."

"The business of the adults is important, so there is a labor for the adults."

Qin Yining nodded in understanding.

These people were ordered to escort Prince Zhongshun out of the country, and they must escort Pang Xiao out of the country of the Dayan Dynasty. If the envoys made a mistake in Dayan's territory, they would make some unreasonable troubles because of the emperor's temperament. ask to come.

Seeing Qin Yining being so reasonable, the man couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the good upbringing of the Qin family, and when he saw Qin Yining sitting upright at night, his face was hot, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to think any more.

One person was ordered to stay protected, and the others continued to chase after them.

The one who was left to protect Qin Yining was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who came up to salute and stood not far away.

Qin Yining saw that he knew the courtesy, so he also got off the horse and stroked Baiyun's silvery mane. Bai Yun seemed to be enjoying himself, he lowered his head and rubbed Qin Yining's cheek. Bai Yun and Wu Yun were the same, in addition to their excellent blood, endurance, speed and explosiveness, they were both very human horses. It can be compared to a seven- or eight-year-old human child.

Therefore, when Qin Yining treats Bai Yun, he wants to treat a smart child very tenderly.

in this wilderness,

It was also thanks to the presence of Baiyun that she felt a little more secure.

After lighting up a stick of incense for a long time, there was another roar of horses' hooves.

Qin Huaiyuan and other officials saw a white horse and a woman in a light dress beside the official road from a distance, and they hurriedly slowed down.

Qin Huaiyuan jumped off the horse in a hurry, and the moment his feet landed, his legs were a little weak. He introduced a civil servant and chased the horse wildly for more than six hours. His physical strength was already exhausted. However, he was very anxious because his precious daughter was taken away and caught in the pursuit.

After walking a few steps, Qin Yining was already greeted.

Qin Huai saw that Qin Yining's clothes were neat, but his long hair was a little messy.

"Sister Yi, are you alright?"

"Father, I'm fine." Qin Yining gave Qin Huaiyuan a salute, and when he saw Mr. Cui and other officials from the Ministry of Rites dismounting crookedly, he said in shock, "Just now, little prince Pang managed to get rid of those Tartars. The assassin hid me at a distance, and led the assassin away with his guards! The Tatars are so brave, if something happened to the little prince Pang in our Dayan, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain to the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. !"

"Tatars? What Miss Qin said is true? How do you judge those are Tatar assassins?" Cui Wenqing asked nervously.

Qin Yining's face was pale, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he explained: "I have seen some Tatars in Liangcheng, and I have heard some Tatars. Just now those people are chasing after them. Those people are all tall and different from our Dayan people, so it can be judged."

"This... the situation is really complicated, Marquis Anping, look at this..."

Cui Wenqing and the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are so tired that their whole body hurts, their legs are frayed, and they have been running wild without water and rice, and their bodies are about to be smashed into a paste. How can there be a claim on the relationship between the three countries?

Qin Huaiyuan thought for a moment, and immediately said: "This matter still needs to be decided by the emperor. Even if we catch up, we will not be able to help, so we ordered the escorted soldiers to pursue them according to the original route. It is important that we return to Beijing immediately."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, leaving more than a dozen people to escort these adults, while the rest followed the route of Pang Xiao's departure from Beijing.

It's just that when they came, they ran for more than six hours. When they came back, everyone was so tired. It was naturally impossible not to eat or sleep. The town requisitioned several carriages, and with the rest time in between, did not return to the capital until the morning of the third day.

At this time, Pang Xiao and his party were afraid that they would have walked out of Xihua City long ago.

Due to the difference between men and women along the way, Qin Yining was placed in a carriage alone, and there was no chance to talk to Qin Huaiyuan in detail.

When he entered the capital, Qin Huaiyuan sent the rest of the officials to go home for repairs. If he wanted to enter the palace to go back to the emperor, he stopped the carriage halfway, and the father and daughter got out of the car and walked to a place with a wide view. This is the time to speak.

"Sister Yi, did the Tartars really come to hunt down the little prince Pang?"

Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "I knew that the words of the day could not be trusted by my father."

Qin Huaiyuan had such an expression as expected, and said with a smile: "Although Cao Guozhang colluded with the Tatars, he also wanted to make profits for himself, but not to bring wolves into the house. The Cao clan has already told the emperor about that, and Cao Guozhang has already told the emperor. It should be a tense time, and it is absolutely impossible for the Tartars to assassinate the little prince Pang to cause trouble for him."

"Father Mingjian, things are as you said."

Qin Yining explained the fact that Pang Xiao arranged for his people to pretend to be Tartar assassins that day, and naturally avoided the relationship between Pang Xiao and her.

It's just that Qin Huaiyuan listened, but his face was still a little more complicated and clear.

After Qin Yining finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister Yi, what do you think of Little Prince Pang?"

Qin Yining originally waited solemnly for Qin Huaiyuan to analyze what to do next, but who knew that his father would ask Pang Xiao.

When she thought of that person, she felt uncomfortable, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter how you look at it."

"Nothing?" Qin Huaiyuan smiled and pointed at the red bean bracelet on her wrist: "When I saw you off that day, my father didn't remember that you had this on your hand, but when you found you, you were already wearing it."

When Qin Yining heard this, her pink cheeks turned red.
