Return of the Swallow

Mrs Sun buried her face in Qin Huaiyuan's arms, tears rubbing against his clothes: "Qitai came back that day and said you wanted to see Sister Yi for something, and asked Sister Yi to go to the foot of the mountain late to take her to see you. , I think that Qitai has been with you for so many years, it is impossible to have an outside heart and let Sister Yi go."

"Who knows, now that people have lost it, the people we went out to find also found Qitai's body, which was stabbed in the neck with a knife. I just realized that Sister Yi may have been kidnapped. A good daughter, I am useless as a mother, I make her suffer all day long, and in the end no one can watch it!"

Qin Huaiyuan put his arms around the skinny Sun, and said distressedly, "Don't worry, don't cry. Sister Yi is fine."

"Really? You don't tease me?" Mrs Sun raised her face and looked at Qin Huaiyuan.

"Of course, for a daughter like me, her safety is so important, how could I lie to you with such a thing?" Qin Huaiyuan wiped her face with his sleeve and reassured: "Come on, let's go in first, I'll take your time with you. Say."

Sun has always known Qin Huaiyuan's character. He said that Qin Yining was fine, so he should be fine.

Only then did she realize that she was crying in Qin Huaiyuan's arms in front of the crowd, her face flushed red in an instant, and she hurriedly took a few steps back.

Qin Huaiyuan took Sun's hand indifferently and walked in front, greeting everyone who came out of Shanying all the way.

Cao Yuqing followed behind the two with lowered eyebrows.

When the old lady heard that Qin Huaiyuan was back, she was overjoyed, and came out to greet Qin Huaiyuan's hand.

"My brother Meng is back!"

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and saluted: "Son's greetings to mother."

"Get up, get up, you want me to die!" The old lady grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's arm and looked at it, and then said distressedly: "I am tanned and thin."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled, and then greeted the second master, third master, and other family members beside him.

After everyone got together for a while, Mrs Sun finally couldn't help but feel anxious, "Master Hou, where is Sister Yi?"

When she asked, the old lady remembered that Qin Yining had disappeared.

Qin Huaiyuan and his family went into the house and repeated what the emperor had told him.

The details, even if he conjectured, have nothing to do with Guochao's face.

Inhumane, at the end only said: "...The emperor has decided to surrender Da Zhou, and these days are going to be busy."

There was a sound of exhalation from inside the house.

Although everyone had the sadness of losing their country, they all breathed a sigh of relief in the end.

Qin Han said: "Uncle, the emperor agreed to surrender, will the people of Da Zhou outside the capital withdraw?"

"Will do."

"Then will they massacre the city?" The second lady was worried.

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is a man with a deep sense of government, and he is very willing to invite people to buy people's hearts. I think at this time, he will not only massacre the people of the city, but will also bring food as soon as possible."

Everyone understands that the emperor of the Dayan Dynasty did not care about the lives of his people and hid all the money for buying food. If the emperor of Dazhou could make the people eat enough, such a strong contrast would be enough to make the people of Kyoto disagree. The Great Zhou Emperor had a good impression.

No matter what they say about losing their country, these hungry ordinary people don't care, they only care about whether they can survive or not.

Not to mention ordinary people, but the Qin family, their hearts were filled with excitement.

Only the old lady didn't look good.

She just ate the little rabbit that Prince Zhongshun gave to Qin Yining a few days ago, and made Qin Yining satirize it hard!

Who would have thought that the emperor would send Qin Yining directly to Prince Zhongshun?

If the Dayan Dynasty surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty, Qin Yining would most likely become the concubine of Prince Zhongshun in the future, and even better, he would even become a concubine! She will suddenly become a noble lady of the Zhou Dynasty!

But what about them? They are the family members of the submissive ministers, life and death are in the hands of others, and one sentence can determine their future...

"So, Sister Yi is still very much liked by Prince Zhongshun?" The old lady's voice was a little hoarse.

Grandma Han Er also looked at Qin Huaiyuan with Shurun's eyes, obviously she and the old lady were thinking of something.

She regrets now whether she should have been in the past. She really shouldn't be tempted to eat Qin Yining's pet because of her greed. That little rabbit, as Qin Yining said, has no meat all over her body, and it's not enough for her to stuff her teeth.

At that time, she just wanted to be able to eat a little bit, and she still secretly scolded Qin Yining for being hypocritical.

Who would have thought that the rabbit was Prince Zhongshun's token of affection for Qin Yining, and Qin Yining would become a princess?

Grandma Han Er's bowels are turning green with regret!

Qin Huaiyuan saw the expressions of the old mother and nephew's daughter-in-law, and guessed that something must have happened that he didn't know, and said calmly, "Yes. Prince Zhongshun likes Sister Yi very much. , to be a princess."

The old lady laughed dryly, "It's very good, very good, in the end, it's still our sister Yi who has the ability, and she will have to rely on her in the future."

Grandma Han Er also smiled and nodded, but how stiff the smile looked, even Qin Han who was supporting her could see the clue, but Qin Han didn't ask her face to face.

Qin Huaiyuan lived peacefully in the mountain for two days.

In the past two days, the Hu Ben army guarding the city gate really withdrew.

The lingering refugees stumbled out, looking for a way out.

Many people were so hungry that they had no strength and were rolling and crawling.

At this time, not far in front of the city gate, there was a Hu Ben army loudly said: "The Great Zhou Sheng has mercy on the disaster victims, and has ordered two meals a day, and set up porridge points in front of the city gates of the inner and outer cities and all over the city, and everyone can come. Eat porridge!"

As the man's voice fell, someone came in a carriage, put down the cauldron, rice grain, firewood and other items, and started to make a fire to cook porridge.

The smell of rice spreads all at once!

How can the sluggish victims smell the aroma of food? They all rushed towards the porridge shed.

There are many people who are hungry and have no strength. After being crowded, they can't get up again.

But under starvation, who can care so much? It's good to be able to survive on your own, where is there still time to care about your feet?

Therefore, no one heard, there was a hoarse voice under their feet, scolding more and less breathing: "Go away, take away your stinky feet, I... I want to kill you, you dare to kill the king... …”

No one heard his voice, but countless feet stepped on his back, stamping a few more footprints on his dirty and unrecognizable rags.

He wanted to cry in pain, but he couldn't make a sound. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. He wanted to get up, but he had no strength, and his eyes gradually became blurred. There was only one signal left in his mind, that was pain. , the pain of broken bones and tendons.

The porridge shed was not far away, and he stretched out his dirty arms, but in the end he didn't eat a mouthful of gruel.

No one could have imagined that Emperor Qinglong, who had harmed the Dayan Dynasty for thirty-five years, would end up being trampled to death by the victims he most despised.
