Qin Yining naturally felt honored that Pang Xiao was being praised like this. However, apart from being happy, she was more worried about him.
"In the past, I had guessed that Pang Zhixi's life might not be good on the surface."
Qin Yining stood up and paced back and forth worriedly. "He was the vanguard of the attack on Beiji. In order to take revenge, he cruelly killed some Beiji officials. I originally thought that the Beiji officials who surrendered to Da Zhou must be on the opposite side of Pang Zhixi. In addition, he has high prestige in the army, so the Zhou emperor must be wary of him. However, the consequences of these two factors are unimaginable. If what you said is true, the Zhou emperor will definitely not allow him to exist in this world. "
Qin Yining frowned and slowly stopped walking. She gripped the armrest of her chair so tightly that her knuckles gradually turned white.
After hearing her analysis, Mu Jinghu also felt that Pang Xiao's situation was indeed dangerous. He was so shocked that his face turned pale.
"Based on what you said, won't he be in danger when he goes back this time?"
Qin Yining shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that these people's attacks on him are just adding fuel to the fire. The Zhou emperor won't touch him for the time being. After all, they still need him to take down Dayan. The Tiger Army is now the main force of the army. It's a big taboo to change the commander-in-chief at the last minute. He'll be fine in the short term. "
Mu Jinghu heard this and sighed deeply. "Fortunately, that's the case."
On second thought, he only said this to let Qin Yining know that Pang Xiao was in a difficult position outside. He didn't expect her to know more than he did. He was also involved.
Mu Jinghu scratched his head and said, "Since you know everything, that's good. I'll take my leave first."
"I still have to thank you."
Mu Jinghu felt strange and asked, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for your concern for Pang Zhixi. It's Pang Zhixi's blessing to have a close friend like you. "
Mu Jinghu blushed at her compliment. He did not know how to respond to such a straightforward compliment, so he coughed and said, "Nothing, I'll take my leave first."
Qin Yining responded with a smile to a person who was not good with words but was extremely honest. He politely walked out the door to see him off.
Qin Yining frowned as he watched him walk away. He turned around and went up to the attic.
Last night, he was by her side. Although they were separated by a small table, the two of them slept on the same bed. They could hear each other's breathing. Even when she was asleep, she could feel his strong presence.
But they had only been together for such a short time, and he had to go back. Moreover, he had to face the accusations of "colluding with the enemy". Even if she could analyze that Emperor Zhou would not touch him for the time being, she still felt bad for him.
Qin Yining's mind was full of worry. That night, he could not sleep again. He only managed to fall asleep when the sky gradually brightened. However, after sleeping for an hour, he got up and fainted again.
Not to mention the Sun Clan, even the Dowager Duchess, who was old and dim-sighted, could see that Qin Yining was haggard. She was worried that her old illness would relapse, so she hurried her to rest.
While Qin Yining was catching up on sleep, Pang Xiao and Huzi had already returned to Xi Hua City.
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows in front of him when he saw Zhao Yueshui, who looked like a white steamed bun. He said, "Eunuch Zhao's greeting gift is really special. You immediately put a big accusation on my head. Colluding with the enemy? Betraying the country? Eunuch Zhao, is this the crime that you have decided on This King? "
Zhao Yueshui was specially sent by Emperor Zhou to supervise the army. He was in charge of observing Pang Xiao's movements at the front line. He had the authority to directly report to Emperor Zhou about the situation at the front line.
Emperor Zhou valued Zhao Yueshui. In addition, he and Eunuch Li Guanwen, who was in charge of the Ceremony Directorate, were from the same hometown and were also father and son.
Before he left, Zhao Yueshui's godfather, Eunuch Li, had privately warned him a lot. He also heard some rumors, so he had some contempt for Pang Xiao in his heart. Moreover, no matter what he did, his godfather would protect him in the capital. Who would dare to be disrespectful to the army supervisor?
Zhao Yueshui smiled proudly, "Wang Ye really knows how to joke. How can we have the authority to convict Wang Ye? However, as the commander-in-chief, Wang Ye left his post without permission. By doing this, are you worthy of the Emperor's trust in you? Are you worthy of the Emperor's great kindness? "As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards the north and arrogantly raised his chin to stare at Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao playfully took a pillow and leaned it against his back. He sat comfortably on the round-backed chair, his straight legs in black silk pants on the table. He leisurely said, "The enemy's new commander-in-chief avoids fighting for 30 days in a month. This King is bored to death. Can't he go and explore the terrain?"
"If the enemy doesn't fight, Wang Ye will think of ways to make them fight. Have you thought about how much food the Tiger Army spends in a day while you're wandering around like this? The Emperor trusts you and gives you money and food. Is this how you repay him? "
Zhao Yueshui's voice was very tough. His black eyes were like small black beans embedded in white steamed buns, "I have to report Wang Ye's actions to the Emperor."
"Tsk tsk." Pang Xiao played with the horsewhip in his hand, "How interesting. Zhao Yueshui, have you forgotten where you are?"
Pang Xiao's voice was very languid. His tone was amiable as if he was talking about the weather.
But Zhao Yueshui felt his body tighten. He put on a strong front and said, "Wang Ye, don't forget whose territory this world is!"
"How dare you!" Huzi had long disliked this fat steamed bun. He kicked Zhao Yueshui several steps back and fell to the ground.
"How dare you be presumptuous in front of our Wang Ye!"
"Pang Zhixi, you're the one who's bold! You actually dare to beat me! "
"Beat?" Pang Xiao chuckled. He lazily supported his forehead with one hand and narrowed his eyes slightly, "List out Eunuch Zhao's crimes of selling information at a high price, embezzling military provisions, and colluding with the local gentry. He colluded with the enemy and committed treason. This King's bodyguard caught him in the act and still dared to lie through his teeth. Report all of this to the Emperor.
"As the commander-in-chief of the army, This King can't tolerate such a disaster by his side, so he beheaded him on the spot. Then draft a memorial for This King to apologize to the Emperor. However, this is an urgent matter. We can't tolerate the existence of a spy in front of the army. "
At this point, Pang Xiao closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Huzi responded with a "yes". His eyes lit up as he grabbed Zhao Yueshui by the collar and walked out.
Zhao Yueshui was so scared that his face turned pale. He wet his pants on the spot, "You can't do this. You're slandering me!"
"Slandering you? Not only did you sell military information at a high price, but you also dare to put the blame on Wang Ye! I think you're clearly benefiting from an outsider. You want to get rid of Wang Ye and make the Emperor lose a loyal official! " Huzi had been by Pang Xiao's side for a long time and was very eloquent. He threw Zhao Yueshui to the open space in the barracks and made his evil deeds public.
The soldiers of the Tiger Army had long been displeased with a eunuch ordering them around in the barracks. Moreover, Zhao Yueshui was also very annoying. Now that they heard Huzi say that he dared to slander Pang Xiao, as a direct descendant of Pang Xiao, everyone who heard the news was furious and fought to tear Zhao Yueshui into pieces.
For a time, the barracks were filled with discussions about Zhao Yueshui's treason. They clamored to kill Zhao Yueshui.
In just a moment, the situation had become tense. If Zhao Yueshui wasn't killed, it might cause a mutiny.
