"Wang Fei is right." Xie Yue nodded in agreement. It seemed that Wang Fei knew Zhong Yibo very well. But in front of Wang Ye, he couldn't say this carelessly.
Xu Weizhi frowned. "If things develop as Wang Fei predicted, then it will be bad. Your Majesty has always tried to target Wang Ye without a reason. Now that he has a reason, how can he let it go so easily? Your Majesty is not stupid and will investigate the matter of the treasure. At that time, no matter whether or not our actions have been exposed, Your Majesty will push the blame on Wang Ye. "
The people present were all intelligent people. Naturally, they could guess that the current situation was developing in this direction.
Qin Yining lowered his eyes and tapped the back of his hand with his fingertips. He said slowly, "When the Emperor trampled on his own power, there was not a moment when he didn't care about Tian Jizi's calculations. He pressed on step by step until the current situation was formed. Now that he is focused on the Imperial Mausoleum and the treasure, he can't see the natural disasters anymore. After pacifying the Dayan and defeating the Tatan, he will be complacent. Now that he has found the location of the treasure, he will have no qualms about hiding the bow after the birds are killed. We should prepare in advance. "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi nodded and looked at Pang Xiao questioningly.
Pang Xiao had already pondered over this matter while they were talking.
"In this period of time, for the sake of the treasure at Wuning Dam, Qing Hang Slope, and Lin Nan Village, I have sent most of the people I can use. Because of Tao Hanshan's letter, the last batch of people who were supposed to be sent to Wan Zhou Town remained. However, this small number of people is not enough to protect all of us against thousands of soldiers and horses. The ceremonial guards that I have bestowed upon us by the Emperor are also useless. They are all used as charging troops. It is too late to send more people."
Pang Xiao turned to Qin Yining. "So this time …"
Before he could finish, Tang Xiu's slightly anxious voice came from outside the room. "Wang Ye! Your Majesty's Eunuch Xiong is here! "
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Li Qitian to move so quickly!
Pang Xiao gripped the armrests of the chair with both hands and slowly stood up. Then, he said, "Go and deal with them for a while. Just say that This King is taking a bath and will be back soon."
"Yes!" Tang Xiu immediately acknowledged and retreated.
Pang Xiao abruptly turned around and looked at Qin Yining. Her eyes flashed with strong reluctance and unwillingness.
Qin Yining vaguely understood what Pang Xiao meant.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue silently got up and left.
Ji Yun also retreated to the door outside the screen and listened carefully to the movements outside.
Qin Yining sat on the round-backed chair and looked up at Pang Xiao's eyes. She never knew that a person's eyes could contain such complex emotions. It made her heart ache.
Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao and felt a sharp pain in her heart. However, a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
"Zhixi, if you have any instructions, just say it. I'll listen."
Pang Xiao's large hand caressed Qin Yining's fair cheek. The rough calluses on his thumb brushed past her earlobe. "You're a smart person. You understand the current situation even if I don't tell you. Your Majesty's companion is here. He must want me to meet him and denounce him. The situation is very dangerous for me. I might not be able to escape unscathed. If I bring you with me, it'll be like having one more person fall into the tiger's mouth. This will do more harm than good to both of us. So … "
Looking at Qin Yining's gentle eyes, Pang Xiao couldn't make any requests.
He knew that she wouldn't be willing to leave at such a critical moment. For so many years, they had been in the same boat as husband and wife. They had gone through so many dangers together. Qin Yining didn't even hide behind him like an ordinary woman. Instead, she would face the wind and rain in front of him and bear the burden for him.
He wanted Qin Yining to be in a safe environment. He didn't want her to be in danger. However, he was worried that she wouldn't be willing. She would agree in front of him and do other things behind his back.
Pang Xiao smiled and held Qin Yining's hand. "Sister Yi, Sakurai's matter hasn't been resolved yet. You can go to Dongying and have a good talk with the famous Ishikawa Fusei. You can also meet Hiragana and ask if Sakurai has any unfulfilled wishes. You can deploy my men outside. If it doesn't work, we can use force to deter them. No matter what, we can give Sakurai a place to rest in peace. We can't let him wander outside forever. He saved you. We should also fulfill his wish. "
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and smiled. She knew that Pang Xiao was trying to use this matter to lure her away. It was indeed as Pang Xiao said. She was clear about the current situation. She also knew that if she went back with Pang Xiao, it would just be one more person entering the tiger's den.
Seeing that Qin Yining didn't say anything, Pang Xiao was a little anxious.
"Sister Yi, listen to me. Now is not the time to be impulsive. We still have a long way to go. There's no need to throw everything away now. You know that this trip doesn't bode well. There's really no need for you to accompany me. I … "
"I understand." Qin Yining pressed Pang Xiao's slightly cold fingers against her lips. As she stood up with a smile, Pang Xiao gradually stood up and looked down at her.
Qin Yining said, "I will leave with your men. I will take this opportunity to go to Dongying and resolve Sakurai's matter. "
Pang Xiao was dumbstruck. His phoenix-like eyes opened wide.
Qin Yining looked at his surprised expression and couldn't help but think of Brother Zhao and Brother Han. The expressions of the two children when they were surprised were exactly the same as Pang Xiao's now. Her heart couldn't help but soften.
"I want to accompany you." Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao and said with a smile, "But I know that if I go with you, it's nothing more than sending a sheep into the tiger's den. Li Qitian can easily capture the two of us. If he uses me as a hostage to force you, you'll be in trouble. Moreover, your men are scattered outside. Without a leader, the threat they pose to him is limited. Since that's the case, why don't I lead your men outside and strengthen them? After obtaining the treasure, they will also be a threat to Li Qitian. At least, he won't dare to act rashly. "
At this moment, Qin Yining hated Li Qitian to the core. He wasn't even willing to address him as Your Majesty.
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining. His expression gradually changed from surprise to a smile, and then to a hearty laugh. His eyes became more and more passionate. His emotions were like boiling lava in his heart, and a sense of heroism arose spontaneously. Just now, he had wanted to part with her temporarily, but his thoughts of having a child with her had already vanished.
This was his woman. She was always able to bring him surprises. Although he loved her beauty and her occasional weakness, he loved her rational mind and strong soul more. This woman seemed to be an endless treasure that he could never dig out. He couldn't bear to let go of her.
"Sister Yi." Pang Xiao hugged her emotionally.
Qin Yining smiled and rested his head on his shoulder. "Don't worry. Even if you go this time, I will do my best to ensure that you'll be fine. Li Qitian's country is in turmoil, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself. He still acts like this. There are many flaws. "
