Qin Yining began to feel nervous.
She could endure any kind of pain, but not humiliation!
The unfamiliar man's rough fingers had a thick layer of calluses, and he smelled of sweat. Qin Yining almost wanted to vomit!
She suddenly opened her eyes and glared fiercely at that person.
That person was looking at her face with infatuation. He felt that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. He thought that since she was unconscious, it wouldn't matter if he touched her a few times. Who would have thought that she would suddenly wake up?
He was startled and took two steps back in a panic, almost falling down in his panic.
Qin Yining saw this person's expression and felt slightly relieved. She said in a low voice, "What do you want to do? Don't you know who I am? "
The man in his twenties coughed awkwardly. His ears were red, and he reluctantly looked at Qin Yining one more time before he fled.
As soon as he left, there was a burst of laughter outside the tent. Several people joked and said that the man had been disliked by the beauty. Another person boasted that if he or she were to go, he or she would be able to take on two people. Once again, everyone mocked him.
Qin Yining listened to those people's vulgar words and furrowed her brows in anger.
She first looked around.
This was a small military tent. She was sitting on a wooden camp bed facing the door of the tent. On the square table to her right, there was a pea-sized oil lamp. Next to the oil lamp was a crock with a clay bowl. It was probably used to hold water. On the left corner of the bed was a washbasin.
Although Qin Yining's hands were tied, her feet were free. She got up and blew out the oil lamp.
Once it was dark inside the tent, the shadows on the tent could be seen clearly.
There were five people guarding her tent.
The shadows of these five people were very tall, and should be less than two steps away from the tent. Two of them were guarding the entrance of the tent, standing like a pole, while the other three were gathered on her right side, whispering to each other, and occasionally snickering.
Qin Yining frowned. She thought that Duke Anguo's words had given these people hope. They thought that once they had used her enough, Duke Anguo would give her to them.
Qin Yining sneered. The matter could not be concluded until the very end, so he decided to let these people have some fun for the time being.
Qin Yining lay down on his side and waited for the news from Bing Tang.
At dawn, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the tent.
Qin Yining was originally extremely tired and sleepy, but when he heard the commotion, he quickly sat up. He saw the curtain of the tent open, and a man pushed in Bing Tang, whose hands were tied behind his back, and scolded, "Behave yourself! Otherwise, I'll kill you! "
Bing Tang spat fiercely at that person before slowly walking towards Qin Yining.
Qin Yining was relieved to see her come back safe and sound.
The two of them sat side by side on the wooden bed. Bing Tang looked at the door of the tent. When he saw that no one was coming, he whispered into Qin Yining's ear, "Miss, I saw Wang Ye."
Qin Yining nodded and whispered back, "Did you go directly to Da Zhou's military camp? How is Ji Yun? "
"I went to the military camp. Ji Yun had already arrived. Wang Ye is doing well, and his injuries have also healed. Wang Ye said that you don't have to be afraid. He has a way to resolve this matter, and he told you to stay here with peace of mind for the time being. He will be able to get them to release you in less than a day. "
"That's good." Qin Yining heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, "What did you say to Duke Anguo? Didn't Duke Anguo arrange for someone to follow you? "
Bing Tang whispered, "That person followed me to the Zhou Dynasty's military camp and was captured by Wang Ye. I forced him to eat a poison pill. Only I have the antidote. He didn't expect Wang Ye to suddenly attack. After he was poisoned, he naturally listened to my orders."
Qin Yining nodded, "Fortunately, you know how to use poison. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to protect yourself."
"That's right." Bing Tang deeply agreed. If she didn't know how to use poison, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Since Pang Xiao told Qin Yining to wait in peace, she was completely relieved. With Pang Xiao's strategy and scheming, it shouldn't be difficult to resolve this matter.
"You're tired. Sleep for a while." Qin Yining whispered into Bing Tang's ear.
Bing Tang was indeed tired. He laid on the inside of the wooden bed, "Let's take turns to rest. I'll get up and take over for you later."
"No need. I rested well last night. You sleep. "
Bing Tang nodded. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Just like that, Qin Yining and Bing Tang peacefully stayed in the tent and took turns to rest. During this time, the person who was drugged by Bing Tang even came to deliver food. Although they were just mixed flour pancakes and salted vegetables that could kill people to eat in the army, they were still food that was hard to come by even with a thousand gold coins.
Qin Yining and Bing Tang shared a pancake and rested enough. They lay on the wooden bed and chatted in low voices. They were even more relaxed than when they were in Ning Garden.
That afternoon, there was suddenly a commotion outside the tent.
Qin Yining and Bing Tang looked at each other. They both sat up and listened carefully. They seemed to hear three cheers.
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat.
The Yuchi Yan came? He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for them to come at this time.
As soon as Qin Yining got out of bed, the tent's curtains were lifted from the outside.
Through the tent's door, Qin Yining saw Anguo Gong and several soldiers from the army. They were pale and sweating profusely as they led the Yuchi Yan, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, into the tent.
Qin Yining could finally relax.
Since they dared to do this openly, the Yuchi Yan, as the emperor, would not be accused of murdering an official's daughter. Her safety could be guaranteed.
He didn't know what method Pang Xiao used to make the Yuchi Yan personally come.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Qin Yining and Bing Tang knelt down and saluted.
The Yuchi Yan strode into the tent. He stood at the door with his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Yining and Bing Tang kneeling in front of him. He didn't immediately ask them to get up.
Qin Yining lowered his head. He felt that something was amiss. If it was the Yuchi Yan in the past, he would have asked her to get up first.
Could it be that something had changed?
Yuchi Yan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Unrelated people, leave. No one is allowed to come within ten feet of the tent."
"Yes."
Anguo Gong led the guards and soldiers, and even called for Bing Tang. Everyone retreated and stood at a distance.
Yuchi Yan pursed his lips. After a while, he sneered: "What a good method. What a charm. Tell me, should I charge you with treason? Hm?"
Qin Yining heard this and suddenly raised his head. He looked straight into Yuchi Yan's eyes, which were filled with anger.
Yuchi Yan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. He gritted his teeth and said: "Speak!"
"This subject's daughter has never colluded with the enemy. I don't know how to reply to Your Majesty." Qin Yining lowered his head again in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Yuchi Yan laughed with a hoarse voice and said, "This is hilarious. Initially, I was thinking of beating them at their own game, taking the opportunity to eliminate the murderer, Meng Zhixi, before surrendering, and consider it as having avenged Great Yan Dynasty. However, that boorish man actually dared to threaten this one! "
