Pang Xiao smiled and nodded, his big hand caressing her cheek, "I've always known that you're an open-minded person. You won't fuss over small matters. I was worried that you'd hate Boss Qiu and don't want to interact with her anymore. "
"It's fine if I don't interact with her, but I like Yan-ge very much, and Mu gongzi has helped us a lot. Our relationship is so complicated, how can we completely cut off our relationship? As for being open-minded, I can't say that. I'm very petty, but I know what's most important right now. "
Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "I don't see how you're petty. It must be very difficult for Mu Mu to be caught in the middle, and I don't want him to be in such a dilemma. The next time I see Boss Qiu, I'll be more polite. "
"The next time she comes, she might avoid Mu gongzi." Qin Yining thought about Qiu Feishan's temperament and couldn't help but sigh again, "She's a proud person, and Mu gongzi has humiliated her twice in front of you, how can she bear it? I don't know how sad she'll be when she goes back, and when she comes to find you again, she'll have to wait until her heart is completely calm and she's passed that hurdle. "
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows, believing Qin Yining's words without a doubt.
Mu Jinghu was a kind person, and he certainly hoped that his friend could be happy. It seemed that he had to think more for Mu Jinghu in the future, and leave some face for Qiu Feishan when he sees her again. Even Sister Yi, a woman, could be so open-minded, how could he, a man, hold onto the past and not let go, and make things difficult for his brother?
In the next few days, even if Pang Xiao was in a hurry, he still looked for opportunities to persuade Mu Jinghu.
At first, Mu Jinghu was very resistant, but in the end, perhaps he was persuaded, and he often just kept silent.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining went to the capital, and along the way, they took the same road as when they came to the disaster relief. Needless to say, they were welcomed and loved by the people along the way, and many people joined the South Pacifying Army. Originally, there were a hundred thousand South Pacifying Army when they set off from the old capital, but when they arrived at the capital, the number of soldiers following Pang Xiao had increased to two hundred and eighty thousand.
This was a huge number!
When Li Qitian learned that Pang Xiao had actually brought two hundred and eighty thousand men with him, he was so shocked that he jumped out of his dragon chair in the imperial study. He pointed at the spy who had answered him and asked in a sharp voice,
"What? You're saying that Pang Zhixi brought two hundred and eighty thousand soldiers back? Where did he get the money to feed so many people?
On the way back, the South, on the way back to the capital, when he returned, on the way back to the capital, and the people 'on the way back... On''s, there, '''s't '''s, rich, to the ''s, the've have been to't t' '''s people, on his't t t, to the've't them's that's
For a time, ''t't't't,' ''t''t.
Now that Ji Zeyu's troops had been incorporated into the armies of the various princes, there were no more than a hundred thousand soldiers in total. Pang Xiao alone had brought back one hundred thousand elites and one hundred and eighty thousand new soldiers.
Once Pang Xiao had the intention to rebel, Ji Zeyu and Gao Wenliang would have to resist the Tatan. Who else would be able to stop Pang Xiao? Wouldn't he, the Emperor, be stretching his neck and waiting for Pang Xiao to chop it off?
He could already see the scene of Pang Xiao's army breaking into the capital and directly forcing him to abdicate.
Li Qitian's back was soaked with sweat, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
The Spies knelt on one knee and lowered their heads, quietly waiting for Li Qitian's orders.
After a long time, Li Qitian ordered Xiong Jinshui with a hoarse voice: "Go, summon all the ministers. We want to attend court."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Jinshui heard the order and rushed out.
After hearing the conversation between the Emperor and the Spies clearly, Xiong Jinshui's heart turned cold. If the Prince Zhongshun attacked, they, who had served the Emperor closely, would probably lose their lives. He originally thought that serving the Emperor was a good thing, but now he felt that he had made a bad move.
For the past few days, the Tatan had been besieging the capital. Ji Zeyu's army stubbornly resisted. The people of the capital were tightly protected, but they could often hear the sounds of fighting and roaring on the battlefield. The medical centers in the capital and the nearby temples were all helping to treat the sick and the injured. The people often saw the miserable state of the sick and injured.
This was the first time they were so close to war, and the first time they felt the shadow of death so clearly. Everyone was worried. Some people felt that the capital was no longer safe and planned to move their families. There were also people who felt that the capital was the heart of Da Zhou. If it was lost, it would be useless no matter where they fled.
Just as everyone was in a state of panic, the Emperor, who had already held a small court meeting, urgently arranged a large court meeting. Some of the officials were still working, and some had already returned home. As soon as they heard the news, they immediately rushed back.
The people were used to seeing the officials calm, but this was the first time they were so anxious. Many people secretly discussed, did something big happen in the imperial court? Could it be that the Tatars were about to attack?
Li Qitian did not have time to think about other things. When the officials gathered, he immediately said, "Pang Zhixi's 280,000 troops are expected to arrive tomorrow. My beloved officials, what do you think? You can speak freely, I will definitely not blame you. "
"Your Majesty, this old official thinks that Prince Zhongshun is wholeheartedly devoted to the country. This time, he brought troops to rescue the Emperor. If Wang Ye and Marquis Dingbei join forces, the Tatan will definitely be defeated. This is truly a joyous matter!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, Marquis Dingbei has already suppressed the Tatan. With Prince Zhongshun, our Da Zhou will definitely win."
Some people have always supported Pang Xiao to take over the position of the commander of the Tiger Army. Your Majesty has always been against it, but the war has reached the capital. Once the army is defeated, they will all become slaves of a subjugated country! At this time, the first thing to consider was whether they could win the war. As for other things, they did not consider them at the moment.
Li Qitian did not say anything, but his slightly furrowed brows and his constantly changing sitting posture in annoyance showed that Pang Xiao did not agree.
Thus, someone stood out to persuade him, "Your Majesty, please do not listen to the shallow words of these people. Your Majesty ordered all the troops in the world to rescue the Emperor. Prince Zhongshun has not completed the disaster relief mission. He is not the commander of the Southern Pacifying Army, but he brought troops here this time. He really has ulterior motives! Once you lead the wolf into the house, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
These words entered Li Qitian's heart, but he did not immediately express his position.
At this time, a sturdy general stood out. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his albowl-sized fists were clenched tightly. It was as if he wished he could rush up and punch that person just now.
"Damn you for leading the wolf into the house. When Wang Ye led the troops to war, you were still chewing your nails under your mother's skirt! You are a coward who only knows how to flatter! If you have the ability, then go kill the Tatars with a knife! At this time, you are slandering Prince Zhongshun. What are your intentions! "
"You! Boorish and boorish man, how can you behave atrociously in front of Your Majesty! "
"Bah! Don't try to sow discord between Your Majesty and me! "
"Right now, we are talking about Prince Zhongshun. Why are you talking so much! The Southern Pacifying Army only has 100,000 soldiers, but Prince Zhongshun brought back 280,000 soldiers. Isn't it obvious at a glance what his intentions are? If he really doesn't have any ulterior motives, then why is he in such a hurry to recruit soldiers? "
"That is because the common people are grateful to Wang Ye for saving their lives. Wang Ye saved many people along the way! The common people want to repay him, so they voluntarily followed Wang Ye to fight the Tatars. That is Wang Ye's rallying power, and also the common people's benevolence and righteousness. Compared to you, a beetle who only knows how to point fingers, even the common people carrying hoes are a hundred times better than you! "
… …
Seeing that the situation below was the same as before, with those who supported Pang Xiao and those who opposed Pang Xiao quarreling again. There was no help at all. Li Qitian rubbed the space between his eyebrows in annoyance.
Right now, he was extremely regretful.
If he didn't arrange for Pang Xiao to go to the disaster relief, how could he have the opportunity to win over the people's hearts? Now, not only were his arrangements disrupted, but Pang Xiao also seemed to have won the people's hearts. On the contrary, he became the bad guy.
Pang Xiao was simply born to be at odds with him!
"Enough." Li Qitian stood up and looked down at the two people who had stopped quarreling in front of the throne room. He snorted coldly, turned around, and left in a huff.
The ministers looked at each other in dismay. They had never seen Your Majesty leave in the middle of a court session.
Could it be that the Emperor urgently summoned them to a court session just because of Prince Zhongshun?
Even when the Tatan's display was so urgent, Your Majesty was not so anxious!
Some of the smarter ones had already seen Li Qitian's taboo from his reaction.
It seemed that compared to foreign enemies, Your Majesty was more wary of Prince Zhongshun.
Qin Yining was standing to the side while holding Ji Yun's hand, watching Jing Zhe and the others neatly set up the tent.
Recently, she had been vomiting so much that she almost vomited when she smelled rice soup. In addition, they had to hurry on with the journey. After a few rounds of tossing and turning, Qin Yining's face was full of fatigue.
The camp of the two hundred and eighty thousand soldiers of the South Pacifying Army stretched for miles. It was believed that Li Qitian could see this group of people clearly from the top of the city gate.
At this point, the Tatan had not had time to attack yet. Everything was still in time. Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, fatigue quickly swept over him. He almost dozed off while holding Ji Yun's hand.
Pang Xiao brought people to inspect the camp closely. By the time he returned, Qin Yining had already laid down and fallen asleep.
Bing Tang sat quietly to the side. When he saw Pang Xiao lift the curtain and bow, he quickly stood up and bowed.
Pang Xiao waved his hand. He first looked at Qin Yining's sleeping appearance, then gestured to Bing Tang to go outside to talk.
Bing Tang nodded and followed Pang Xiao to a place not far from the tent.
"Wang Ye? What orders do you have? "
"Is Wangfei alright?"
"Wangfei looks weak, but her body has a good foundation. In addition to the previous recuperation, the loss from giving birth to the two young masters has already been recovered. It's just that the journey this time is tiring. For the time being, she should be fine after recuperating. "
Pang Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
These days, Pang Xiao had been so busy with the new recruits that the South Pacifying Army had brought back that his feet did not touch the ground. Fortunately, Qin Yining did not need him to worry about anything.
Just as he was thinking this, Huzi quickly walked in from outside, "Wang Ye, the news of your return to the capital has spread. The Emperor has urgently called for a large court meeting. I don't know what was discussed in the court meeting, but we have not received any orders here."
This was expected. Li Qitian's way of doing things was like this. He would definitely think carefully before opening the first net for others to jump in.
