Return of the Swallow

Qin Huaiyuan listened to the emperor's words, and the little bit of blood that remained in his heart became cold for a moment.

This is the emperor to whom he has been loyal all his life.

Incompetent, stupid, cowardly, and selfish, they simply do not treat their subjects as human beings. He, Qin Huaiyuan, was really lucky to be able to assist such an emperor and wasted half his life on him.

Qin Huaiyuan felt sad for a while, even if the man didn't cry easily, his eyes became hot for a moment, and he bowed his head in embarrassment.

The emperor looked at Qin Huaiyuan's expression, and felt a little unbearable and guilty in his heart.

But on second thought, if Qin Huaiyuan refused to do as he ordered, which angered Da Zhou and accelerated the pace of Da Zhou's attack, what would he do with his plan?

Thinking of this, the emperor relented, put aside his guilt, and said solemnly: "Why, Qin Meng, are you still trying to resist the decree?"

Qin Huaiyuan calmed down and said, "I dare not, the emperor's orders, I should obey the orders."

"That's right." The emperor's expression softened slightly, and said, "If that's the case, you can go back. Tomorrow is the day of the funeral, right?"

"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan lowered his head.

"Yeah. You are also in condolences. You will have a good life. In the future, I will count on you to be loyal to the country." The emperor smiled heartily and patted Qin Huaiyuan on the shoulder.

Qin Huaiyuan was flattered and repeatedly thanked him.

The emperor was very satisfied with Qin Huaiyuan's performance, and comforted him a few more words before dismissing him.

When Qin Huaiyuan returned home, Qin Yining, the second master, the third master, Qin Yu and Qin Han had been waiting in the study for a long time.

Seeing the look on his face when he entered the door, Qin Yining said, "Is the emperor really as we expected?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded.

Qin Yining leaned against the armrest of the armchair, closed his eyes, and said nothing for a long time.

The third master sneered, "If this is the case, then we don't have to care about what we are going to do."

The third master is not an official, and his feelings for the emperor are naturally different from those of the two older brothers.

At this time, only the second master could deeply understand Qin Huaiyuan's mood.

The second master patted Qin Huaiyuan's arm,

Said: "Fortunately, there is still another way to think of this method. It doesn't matter whether Ling Chi succeeds or not. Anyway, the news has been spread all over the place."

Qin Huaiyuan wiped his face with a wry smile, "I know, but in my heart... Maybe, I'm not a loyal minister at all."

"Why should my father force myself to be a saint?" Qin Yining explained, "We are just mortals, we can do what mortals can do."

"Yes, brother." The third master also advised, "Brother has a clear conscience, that's enough.

Qin Huaiyuan nodded and forced a smile. Looking at his pale-faced daughter who was still holding on, his heart that was already firmed up, but now he is even more firm.

What Sister Yi said was right, why did he ask himself to be a saint? It's enough to be a good mortal.

The funeral of the Qin family caused a sensation in the whole city.

Such a tragic annihilation, such a mighty funeral procession, it is impossible not to make a sensation.

The old lady was very old, and Qin Huaiyuan and the others still had serious things to do, so they kept all the female relatives and children at home and did not let them follow.

Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, the third master, the uncle Qin Yu, the second master Qin Han, the fifth master Qin Xian and Qin Yining, with a funeral procession of more than 30 coffins, headed to Cuiyun Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. go.

Originally, the ancestral tomb of the Qin family was not here. But now that the army is besieging the city, it is impossible for them to leave the capital, and they are in a hurry to follow the power.

The road was bumpy and bumpy, Qin Yining was very dizzy leaning on the carriage, but fortunately Ji Yun also brought some sweet and sour crabapple fruit, Qin Yining ate one to suppress the nausea and pre-vomiting feeling during motion sickness.

Qin Huaiyuan was worried about Qin Yining's accident, so he rode the same carriage with Qin Yining, and sighed when he saw it: "Your body has suffered too much loss this time, you are young and fashionable, and if you are old, won't you have the root cause of the disease? Now that it's over, you must listen to Miss Tang more and take care of yourself."

Qin Yining smiled, her cheeks bulging with a crabapple, looking very cute.

"Don't worry, father. Daughter's life was bought by someone else's life. If you don't cherish it, how can you be worthy of the dead."

"Alas!" Qin Huaiyuan sighed and patted Qin Yining's head.

He knew that this incident had dealt a great blow to Qin Yining. A young girl had witnessed such a tragic situation with her own eyes. How many of them could remain indifferent? Not to mention others, just look at the surviving Eighth Young Lady and Qin Huining, the Third Young Lady who has already left the cabinet and has not experienced this incident, and she trembled all over when she heard about it. Qin Yining can still stabilize his mind and think of countermeasures to take revenge, which is really admirable.

"Master Hou."

Outside the carriage, Qi Tai rode his horse close to him and replied in a low voice, "I just came here to deliver the letter, the emperor appointed King Ning as the Marshal of the 350,000 army soldiers and horses, the commander's seal and the tiger talisman, and he has the right to act cheaply. After the emperor, the full authority will be handed over to King Ning."

"Understood." Qin Huaiyuan looked calm.

Qin Yining was very surprised.

The emperor was willing to give King Ning such great power? But if you think about it carefully, as King Ning is the marshal, their chances of winning are even better. At least King Ning is a person who is very good at leading troops to fight.

It's just why the emperor agreed to allow King Ning to lead the troops, but she was a little puzzled.

Could it have something to do with King Ning taking the initiative to reconcile with the Cao family that day?

If this is the case, then there is nothing to be angry about. At least the military power is in the hands of King Ning, and the space for activities will be larger, which is better than letting Cao Guozhang be the marshal.

Without a word, we soon reached Cuiyun Mountain.

The team slowly stopped, and it was not suitable for carriages to travel on it, so there were burly men carrying more than 30 coffins up the mountain. The guards and others that had been arranged in advance trapped the three assassins and led them all the way up the mountain.

In the forest, a black-clothed and masked man saw a group of people go up the mountain, and found Qin Yining in the crowd who was carrying a sedan chair.

"Boss, I watched, that group of people are here, and that bitch is here too!"

The man known as the boss was drinking water and eating dry food. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "Got it, let these people be proud first, and let's wait for the news from the fifth."

"It's so fucking unlucky. We should have rushed up that day, but we were stopped by a group of rabble from the Marquis of Anping. Thinking about it, I feel useless."

When the people around him heard the words, they all looked like they were filled with righteous indignation. Later, they were frightened by the shouting and screaming and ran away. When they ran out, they found out that few of those people were good at martial arts. If they wanted to kill the Qin family by the hands of those people, it would not be a problem at all.

They missed such a great opportunity!

There were a hundred people who came out to carry out the mission this time, and they were divided into two groups.

If this is not done well, they will not be able to communicate at all.

"So are those three idiots. Judging from their high martial arts skills, they didn't get rid of Qin Si after such a good opportunity."

"Yeah, how can I expect that the three of them will be captured alive, and now they are still tied up and going up the mountain to Ling Chi."
