Return of the Swallow

"Mr. Gu's loyal heart is really admirable." Qin Yining smiled and praised, "There are very few people in the world like Mr. Gu who never forget his old master and care about his old relationship regardless of his own safety."

"No, this is nothing. I have no hope in my official career now. I am just in my twilight years. What is really admirable is your Majesty Qin Shangshu. Qin Shangshu has not come back since he entered the palace for Prince Yan's affairs, right? .”

Gu Shixiong also looked full of appreciation.

But Qin Yining knew clearly in her heart that Gu Shixiong was threatening her.

Because even if he didn't save Prince Yan, Qin Yining couldn't care less about Qin Huaiyuan's safety.

At this time, Qin Yining really felt that these people who were beaten out of the court were really cunning.

Now Li Qitian's eyes should have been fixed on the Qin family. Maybe he already knew that Gu Shixiong came to the Qin family.

Qin Yining also knew that Gu Shixiong's intelligence would not fail to guess that his every move was under the surveillance of the Holy Master.

But he did this deliberately, and now he made this request, clearly aiming to drag the Qin family into trouble.

Qin Yining couldn't help but narrowed his eyes in thought.

Isn't Gu Shixiong afraid that she will spread the news that he knows the whereabouts of the treasure?

Could he really be willing to give her such a large amount of wealth for free?

Isn't he afraid that if she gets the treasure in the future, she will give it directly to Pang Xiao?

Qin Yining didn't believe that Gu Shixiong was sincere when he said he would give her the treasure to support Pang Xiao in self-defense.

But after thinking about it, Qin Yining somewhat understood.

First of all, if she doesn't agree to help, then Gu Shixiong will naturally not tell her the whereabouts of the treasure, so only Gu Shixiong knows where the treasure is.

Once she leaks the secret, Gu Shixiong will die, and it will not be easy for others to die with these treasures. Therefore, Gu Shixiong is not afraid at all of leaking secrets.

Secondly, if she agrees to help and rescues Prince Yan, then she has this treasure, and I am afraid that Gu Shixiong will also find a way to make her spit out this large sum of wealth, and it is even more likely that she will find a way to mess up her relationship with Pang Xiao. Marriage,

Promise her to Prince Yan, and the treasure will become her dowry. Prince Yan will not suffer any loss.

In the end, if she agreed to help, rescued Prince Yan and gave the treasure to Pang Xiao, Gu Shixiong would not be afraid.

He could go to Li Qitian to sow discord and make Li Qitian even more suspicious of the wealthy man. Let the Zhou Dynasty be in chaos.

Therefore, Qin Yining analyzed it for a while and found that Gu Shixiong's move was not bad at all.

Even if she refuses now, none of the above three scenarios will happen. Gu Shixiong's arrival has already planted the seeds of doubt.

As expected of a veteran, this is absolutely perfect!

Qin Yining analyzed that all this was just a matter of breathing. She was silent for a long time and then slowly said:

"Mr. Gu, this is a serious matter and my father is not at home. Please allow me to think about it."

Hearing this, Gu Shixiong looked at Qin Yining's beautiful face and felt a little disappointed.

It seemed that women were women after all, and he really shouldn't expect a woman to have the courage and means of a man.

"That's all, I really have no other option now. Please consider it carefully, Miss Qin. I'm waiting for your good news."

When Qin Yining heard this, he smiled and nodded in agreement. --\u003e\u003e

When Gu Shixiong saw that he had finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Qin Yining sent him straight to the courtyard gate before turning around.

Anyway, Gu Shixiong's arrival could not be hidden from Li Qitian, and given Gu Shixiong's previous status in the Yan Dynasty, Qin Huai was far away from home. She entertained guests on her father's behalf. If she sent people out rudely, it would arouse people's suspicion and think that she was... Not a guilty conscience.

But Qin Yining really didn't feel guilty.

Old Man Gu was so scheming and wanted to drag the Qin family into trouble, and he did so without omitting anything, so she couldn't deal with it for a while.

Qin Yining knew that she had to think of a solution quickly, otherwise once the news reached the ears of the Holy Emperor, she would be the next one called into the palace.

She was still preparing to marry Pang Xiao. How could she allow herself to fail in such a matter?

Qin Yining pursed her lips and sat cross-legged on the heated kang near the window, holding a soft light purple satin pillow and lost in thought.

And Ji Yun, who had just listened for a long time, also felt that the matter was very difficult.

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Ji Yun whispered: "Girl, now that the master is not at home, and it is difficult to make this matter public, why don't you ask the prince. The prince will definitely be able to come up with a proper way to relieve the girl's worries."

Qin Yining knew Ji Yun's good intentions and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. I also believe that the prince can help me find a solution. It's just that the prince has a special status and the current situation is sensitive. If I ask him, wouldn't he also be the one to be killed?" Did you drag it down?"

"Girl, the prince won't mind."

"Even if he doesn't mind helping me solve my trouble, I don't want to cause him more trouble."

Qin Yining went down to the ground and paced with his hands behind his hands. He thought about it for an hour before he finally had a plan.

She turned around with bright eyes and ordered: "Jiyun, go and help me find a more primitive wooden box and some nails. Bingtang, help me grind the ink and, by the way, cinnabar."

"yes."

Seeing Qin Yining like this, everyone knew that she had a solution. Hurry to get ready.

Qin Yining prepared everything and said, "Go to Gu's house quickly and leave a message saying that I have figured it out. If there is something urgent, please ask Mr. Gu to come."

Jiyun nodded quickly and ran out.

While Gu Shixiong was sitting on pins and needles waiting at home, news came from outside that a servant of the Qin family was asking for a meeting.

Gu Shixiong was overjoyed and hurried out to see Ji Yun. When he learned that Qin Yining had invited him, he didn't care about etiquette and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a car and rush to Qin's house.

Qin Yining greeted Gu Shixiong at the gate this time and politely moved him to the front hall.

After serving tea, Qin Yining said apologetically: "Mr. Gu, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request."

Gu Shixiong came full of hope. Hearing this, his face was in disbelief and his beard trembled as he said: "You, why do you say that?"

Qin Yining said: "Mr. Gu, as an emperor and a courtier, ever since I came to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the only one I have been loyal to is the Holy One. Although I have feelings for my homeland, I cannot violate my loyalty to the Holy One. The whereabouts of the treasure Even if you tell me, I will definitely turn around and tell the Holy One."

"You! Don't forget, you are from Dayan!"

Qin Yining smiled slightly and said, "Dayan no longer exists. Now we are in Dayan."

"Aren't you afraid that after you marry Prince Zhongshun, the Holy One will liquidate the people named Pang? With this treasure, you can also help your husband!"
