But understanding didn't mean agreement.
"I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions." Xu Weizhi sighed deeply.
Xie Yue also shook her head. She had once worked with Pang Xiao and fought side by side with him. It would be a lie to say that she didn't have any regrets.
But as Xu Weizhi said, everyone has their own ambitions, so there was no need to be tangled up in this.
"From the looks of it, even though Tao Hanshan left Wang Ye's side, he still wants to continue doing something for Wang Ye. Or … "Xie Yue paused for a moment and smiled bitterly," Perhaps this old one's description is not accurate. Even though he left Wang Ye's side, he still wants to do something for Wang Ye's imperial ambitions. "
Only by pushing Pang Xiao to that position could he change his allegiance. Wasn't this the case for the founding nobles of the previous dynasties?
Pang Xiao sneered, "The merit of helping the Emperor rise to power? But why does Tao Hanshan think that This King will continue to trust him after he kills This King's first wife? "
Pang Xiao stood up abruptly and suppressed his anger, "This King knows what he's thinking. This King will acquiesce to whatever he wants as long as it's not too much. But he thinks that he's infallible and wants to kill This King's wife and push the blame onto someone else, forcing This King to do what he wants. What difference does he have from This King's enemies? What he wants isn't someone who can be loyal to him, nor does he want the merit of helping the Emperor rise to power. What he wants is a puppet who can be manipulated by him! "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi stood up. "Wang Ye, please calm down."
As strategists, they couldn't help but have some expectations. However, they knew their limits and bottom line. They also knew where Wang Ye's bottom line was.
Pang Xiao realized that his anger would affect Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Gentlemen, please don't worry. This King has no other intentions. It's just that Sister Yi was almost killed this time. Although she didn't die, she saw someone die in front of her to protect her. This is very harmful to her."
"Princess Consort is a person who values friendship. This old man has also heard of that young man's matter. Wang Ye should try to console Princess Consort more."
"That's right. That young man's coffin has already been collected. Wang Ye should ask the Princess Consort about how to bury him. "
When Pang Xiao thought about how Qin Yining would cry over this, his heart ached. He said helplessly, "Gentlemen, don't worry. I will persuade Sister Yi."
When Pang Xiao returned to the tent, Qin Yining was sleeping soundly. In her sleep, her brows were tightly furrowed, her body curled into a ball like a frightened animal.
His heart ached. Pang Xiao felt pain and pity. He silently went to the wooden bed and gently sat down.
The bed made a soft sound. The original sound was not obvious, but Qin Yining still woke up and opened her eyes. Her hoarse voice was slightly panicked.
"Who is it!"
"It's me. Be good, don't be afraid." Pang Xiao saw her great reaction and hurriedly hugged her. He gently kissed her cheeks and forehead. "Don't be afraid. Did I wake you?"
Qin Yining smelled the familiar scent on Pang Xiao's body and her heart relaxed slightly. Only then did she feel her heart beating wildly in her chest.
She was a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was because she had been running around these days and was frightened, so she hadn't had a good rest.
Pang Xiao took off his boots and outer robe. He wore a snow-white undershirt and silk pants and climbed onto the bed. He lay down behind her and hugged her tightly.
Her body was soft and her body temperature was low. Even after sleeping for so long, her hands and feet were still cold.
Pang Xiao's heart ached as he held her soft little hand with his big hand. He used his legs to hold her cold feet and used his body temperature to warm her.
"Be good, sleep. Have a good sleep. I will take care of everything."
Qin Yining turned over and buried her face in Pang Xiao's arms. She mumbled, "Okay."
Pang Xiao kissed Qin Yining's forehead. He pulled the quilt and wrapped Qin Yining tightly.
After a deep sleep, Pang Xiao woke up early the next morning as usual. However, he didn't wake Qin Yining up. He remained motionless and hugged her quietly.
Qin Yining didn't sleep well last night. She woke up a few times, but she wasn't completely awake. Every time she gasped and opened her eyes, Pang Xiao would wake up and hug her to coax her to sleep. She didn't fall asleep until dawn. Pang Xiao naturally didn't want to wake her up. He was afraid of waking her up, so he simply hugged her and thought about the current situation and how to deal with it.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue woke up early. Tang Xiu saw that Wang Ye's tent wasn't moving, so she didn't dare to disturb them. She went to ask the two gentlemen if she had any questions.
"That county magistrate Cheng is still kneeling outside the camp. Gentlemen, what do you think we should do? "
Although the county magistrate was small, he was still an official of the imperial court. No matter how big Wangye was, how many pairs of eyes were watching him? Wangye was magnanimous in his actions, but Tang Xiu was worried that he would be manipulated by others because of this matter and be sued for abusing his personal power to punish an official of the imperial court.
Xu Weizhi thought for a while and said, "That county magistrate Cheng is an interesting person. His actions are very interesting. You don't have to worry. Wang Ye will naturally make a decision. "
Knowing that this was Pang Xiao's arrangement, Tang Xiu felt relieved and didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
County magistrate Cheng was kneeling outside the camp. There were people walking back and forth in the camp. Naturally, they could see him, but no one came forward.
The camp wasn't far from Danfu County's city gate. One could vaguely see the outline of the city gate. Something big had happened in the city yesterday. Although the people were afraid of trouble and wanted to hide, the three great clans of the county were also worried about the situation outside. In the end, they still arranged for people to come out and find out. From afar, they saw the person kneeling outside the camp.
County magistrate Cheng was considered to have a reputation in the area. Now that Wang Ye was stabbed and the county magistrate was punished to kneel outside Wang Ye's temporary camp, the news quickly spread throughout Danfu County.
The patriarchs of the Liu, Yuan, and Yu clans gathered nervously in a corner to discuss countermeasures.
"What should we do? Yesterday, I don't know which family's descendant was careless and actually injured Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun is Your Majesty's favorite. If something really happened, what should we do? If that happens, we might be accused of treason. Everyone in our family will die. "
"Brother Liu, don't be anxious." The patriarch of the Yuan Clan patted the patriarch of the Liu Clan comfortingly. He then stroked his white beard. "Although Wang Ye's situation is dangerous, there is a saying that the law cannot punish the majority. In the end, we shouldn't be blamed for anything. The difficult thing is that we didn't succeed in our request. Your Majesty will definitely come here to recruit people to work for the imperial mausoleum. At that time, won't the younger generation in our clans continue to suffer? "
Everyone sighed in unison.
They didn't succeed in their request. They didn't achieve their goal. They even injured Wang Ye.
Even the county magistrate was punished to kneel. They didn't know what they would have to face.
When they thought of this, the patriarchs of the three clans felt their scalps go numb.
