Ji Zeyu did not think so much and said in a low voice: "Zhixi, since the Qin Clan has escaped, there is no need for you to return to the capital."
Pang Xiao heard this and slowly nodded. "You are right. There is no use for me to go back now."
When she needed him the most, he was not by her side. What was the use of him going back now?
Seeing that Pang Xiao did not insist on going to his death, Ji Zeyu finally sighed in relief.
But the atmosphere in the tent was too tense. Ji Zeyu did not know what to say.
Pang Xiao took two steps back and sat down on the wooden stool. He asked: "I saw that you brought back a lot of Jinghu Wei?"
"It was Sir Xie's idea. Since Wangfei wants to hide, it will be too eye-catching if there are too many people."
"I see. You have all worked hard. Go and rest first."
"Yes."
Tang Xiu and the others bowed and left the tent in a single file.
Ji Zeyu took a step forward and comforted her, "Don't worry. Heaven helps the worthy. Since you were able to escape, nothing will happen to you."
"Yes." Pang Xiao nodded, but his expression was full of panic.
Ji Zeyu squatted in front of Pang Xiao and looked at him at eye level.
He said: "It is time for you to do something. If you let this go, who knows what the Emperor will do next. He is forcing you into a dead end. Are you going to sit and wait for death? Or do you want to abandon the war at the front line and go back to accompany the Qin Clan? Isn't that too irresponsible? "
"I will not do that." Pang Xiao smiled and said energetically, "Since they are no longer under the Emperor's control, I do not need to go back and die." He turned to look at Xu Weizhi. "Sir Xu, I have an idea."
"Wang Ye, please speak." Xu Weizhi cupped his hands.
Pang Xiao thought and said a few words in a low voice.

In a manor in Shili Village on the outskirts of Huichuan County.
Qin Yining leaned against the pillow with a pale face and urged: "Alright, quickly carry the brothers and sisters down. Don't let them die here."
"Yes." The wet nurses bowed respectfully and carried the children away.
Ji Yun brought over a small white porcelain bowl. "Wangfei, take the medicine. It's not hot now. "
Qin Yining nodded and impatiently ate the bitter medicine with a spoon. She took the bowl and drank it in one gulp. It was so bitter that she frowned and let out a sigh of relief.
Yuanyun hurriedly brought her some warm water to rinse her mouth.
Qin Yining gulped down a small bowl of water and sighed, "I'm not picky and I'm not afraid of bitter things. But this time, I don't know if Bing Tang is deliberately playing tricks on me, but the medicine is fishy and bitter. It's so bitter that I feel nauseous when I put it in my mouth."
"Wangfei, good medicine tastes bitter. You were seriously injured this time. Bing Tang said that it will take at least three to five years for you to recover. You have to take medicine during this period of time. You should get used to it as soon as possible."
"I have to get used to it even if I don't want to." Qin Yining sighed and patted her pale face. She asked: "How is Tian Jizi?"
Ji Yun shook her head with a grave expression.
Qin Yining sat up with difficulty. "Help me find thick clothes. I want to see her."
"Wangfei, it's cold outside. Your fever has just subsided. Don't be exposed to the cold wind."
"It's fine. She did it to save me."
Ji Yun knew Qin Yining's stubborn temper. Once she made a decision, she would not change her mind. She could only helplessly take a warm cloak and drape it over Qin Yining. She also took a Guanyin bag and put it on her. After covering her completely, she carefully helped her up and went to the main room next door.
Outside the door was a spacious courtyard. Not far away, Jing Zhe and the others were practicing martial arts on the open ground. When they saw Qin Yining come out, they hurriedly rushed over.
"Master."
Qin Yining's pale face had a smile. She waved her hand and said: "I'm fine. You can go do your own things."
"Yes." Everyone bowed and left.
Qin Yining went next door.
As soon as she lifted the curtain, a hot wind with the smell of bitter medicine hit her face. There were more than ten men dressed like farmers sitting outside. They were all members of the Tian Ji Sect. When they saw Qin Yining, Fang Hailing led everyone to stand up and cup their hands in greeting to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining nodded in greeting. He went around the animal skin screen and turned a corner. He lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.
Bing Tang was sitting on a small stool beside the heated kang. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Tian Jizi had lost a lot of weight. She was lying on the heated kang with her eyes slightly open. Her dry and pale lips were moving, as if she was saying something.
"Xian Gu, how are you?"
When Qin Yining came closer, Bing Tang hurriedly stood up and made room for her.
Tian Jizi rolled her eyes at Qin Yining. Her dry and hoarse voice was extremely weak. "This Xian Gu has lost this time."
When he heard Tian Jizi say this, Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat. An indescribable bitterness filled his heart. "That won't happen. We will do our best to save you. I've already ordered people to find the herbs you need. "
"It's a waste of effort. Just now, I tried to persuade Miss Tang. Life and death are fated. " Tian Jizi glared at Qin Yining again. "This old man originally had a lifespan of 113 years and would die in late autumn. But now, I've met a troublemaker like you. I'm only 60 years old, and I'm going to die. It's all your fault that I've lost half of my lifespan. "
Qin Yining's heart was heavy. He shook his head and said, "You'll be fine."
"This is all fate." Tian Jizi coughed a few times and said weakly, "I can predict anything. I can predict this and that, but I can't predict a variable like you. Whenever I meet you, I can't predict what will happen, and my plans will change. Even my own life will be at stake. I thought that with my heroic reputation, I couldn't be considered a good person. I didn't expect that I would actually, actually die to save a troublemaker like you! Cough, cough, cough, cough! "
"Xian Gu, calm down. Don't say anymore." Qin Yining's heart was filled with mixed feelings. His face became even paler.
Tian Jizi coughed for a long time and panted a few times. When she opened her mouth again, her voice was even weaker.
"Forget it. Since it's already like this, I have nothing to say. From now on, you can accompany Pang Xiao well. "
Hearing her words, which sounded like she was entrusting him to her, Qin Yining finally burst into tears. Tears slid down her pale cheeks, fell on her fur collar, and slid down the back of her hand.
Tian Jizi saw her tears and snorted. "Forget it. You're not a bad person. I saved you, and it's a good deed. Right now, I really can't bear to leave. "
"Xian Gu, what other wishes do you have? Tell me. If I can do it, I'll do my best. "
Tian Jizi closed her eyes, as if it took a lot of energy to open them and speak. She said in a tired voice, "I only have one wish. What's the use of telling you? You're a variable. What can you guarantee? Right now, I'm just waiting for a piece of news. "
Qin Yining sniffled. Ji Yun took a handkerchief and wiped her tears. She gently advised, "Princess Consort, take care of your body. You haven't recovered yet. Be careful not to cry too much and your head will hurt again. "
Tian Jizi seemed to be impatient and rolled her eyes again.
Qin Yining took the handkerchief and wiped her tears. She rubbed her temples and said, "If something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to Young Master Mu? Xian Gu, you have to hold on. Although the situation looks dangerous, there's still a chance. "
Tian Jizi closed her eyes, as if she was extremely tired. She didn't want to speak again.
Qin Yining looked at Tian Jizi's weak appearance and her heart was filled with guilt.
At this time, she especially hated her own incompetence. This feeling of watching others sacrifice themselves to save her and being unable to do anything was worse than cutting her flesh with a blunt knife. Qin Yining couldn't forget Laden's death for the rest of her life. Looking back, there was also Ruilan, who died to save her. There were also many bodyguards who risked their lives to save her when she was in danger. She didn't even know if they were alive.
Thinking about it carefully, she was able to live until today because of the sacrifices of many people.
She didn't know how heavy a soul could be in a person's life.
"Princess Consort." Xie Yue's slightly hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Qin Yining stood up with Ji Yun's help and slowly walked to the door. "Sir Xie?"
Xie Yue's expression was somewhat excited. She said in a deep voice, "Wang Ye has issued a declaration of war in the northern border."
"What?"
Qin Yining was extremely shocked.
Xie Yue said, "This news has already spread to us. Presumably, everyone in the capital already knows about it. Wang Ye's declaration of war didn't condemn the Emperor, but it already made his intentions clear. Wang Ye said that his intention was to fight for the people of the world and for the peace of Da Zhou. However, Your Majesty listened to the slanderous words of a villain and refused to believe a loyal official. Instead, he wanted to rape the family of a loyal official. This caused the soldiers who were fighting outside to be bitterly disappointed. However, for the peace of the people, he won't give up on the front lines at this critical juncture of the Tatan war. However, the Emperor's actions, ask yourself honestly, don't you feel ashamed at all? "
Qin Yining's fists, which were hidden in his sleeves, gradually tightened.
From Xie Yue's narration, it was enough to see Pang Xiao's resentment and helplessness at this time. It also made his position clear to everyone in the world.
Li Qitian's previous actions had already aroused a lot of discussion and dissatisfaction. In addition, it wasn't a secret that she had been locked up in a prisoner carriage and paraded through the streets all day long. She was also being hunted down. Once this declaration of war was released, the world would definitely be filled with discontent. Li Qitian would probably gnash his teeth in hatred and stomp his feet in anger!
He really didn't know what kind of crazy things Li Qitian would do after this.
But thinking about it again, Pang Xiao was currently at the front lines. Other than taking her and the two children as hostages, Li Qitian really didn't have any other way to keep Pang Xiao in check. After all, all of the soldiers and horses in the Tatan rebellion were 'paid' by themselves.
Qin Yining couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips. His surprise turned into joy. The day he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Shizun, Shizun!"
Suddenly, the sound of Bing Tang's exclamation came from inside the room.
Qin Yining was startled. He immediately turned around and was about to go inside the room.
However, the people of the Tianji Sect were a step faster. More than ten people rushed in and pushed aside the Bing Tang by the bed. They all knelt down and said, "Sect Leader!"
