As soon as these words came out, the entire court was shocked.
No one would have thought that Your Majesty would still value Prince Zhongshun so much.
When he arranged for him to go out of town, he was considerate of his newlywed status and allowed him to bring his princess consort along.
It seems that Your Majesty still relies on Prince Zhongshun as much as before ah!
Regardless of what other people thought, Pang Xiao saw through Li Qitian's calculations clearly.
He was clearly trying to make things difficult for him by reminding him that Qin Yining was someone that the Yuchi Yan coveted. With Qin Yining by his side, it would greatly reduce the chances of his' love rival 'working together.
Pang Xiao said, "Many thanks to Your Majesty for your kindness. This subject accepts the decree!"
However, in his heart, he thoroughly despised Li Qitian's womanly behavior.
Li Qitian was most likely thinking that Qin Yining had once discussed marriage with the Yuchi Yan during the Dayan dynasty. The Yuchi Yan often pretended to have deep feelings for Qin Yining. This trip together would definitely cause a lot of trouble for each other, right?
However, what Li Qitian didn't know was that Pang Xiao no longer had any resentment in his heart. He didn't doubt Qin Yining's loyalty to him, and he had enough confidence in himself.
He believed that the Yuchi Yan wouldn't be able to make any waves in front of him.
Li Qitian interpreted Pang Xiao's dignified expression as depression, and his mood became even better. He said in a clear voice, "Since that's the case, then it's settled. You all go back and prepare. You will set off in the morning the day after tomorrow. Court is dismissed. "
"This subject obeys the decree! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! "All the subjects prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted 'long live' three times.
After court was dismissed, Pang Xiao walked at the back of the group with a wooden face.
He originally wanted to go back and discuss with Qin Huaiyuan what he needed to pay attention to during this trip. However, before he could walk far, an eunuch came to pass on a message, "Wang Ye, Your Majesty's order is for you to immediately go to the Imperial Study."
A few people who were near Pang Xiao heard this and knew that Your Majesty must have arranged some important task for Pang Xiao. They were both envious and fearful of his current glory.
Pang Xiao nodded and followed the eunuch to the Imperial Study.
When he entered the door, he saw Li Qitian sitting on a round chair on the side. His posture was very leisurely.
"Holy Wan 'an!" Pang Xiao approached and bowed.
Li Qitian smiled and said, "You're here. No need for formalities. Come and sit."
Pang Xiao did not dare to be excused. He went through the formalities before going to the seat next to Pang Xiao and carefully sitting down.
Li Qitian smiled when he saw how respectful Pang Xiao was. "I'm sure you know why I've asked you to come. I've only assigned you one task on this trip to the South, and that is to carefully monitor the movements of the County King of Yan and his entourage. I've allocated thirty carrier pigeons to you, and you are to bring them all to the South. If you receive any news or suspicious information, you are to send a carrier pigeon back immediately. "
Carrier pigeons were specially trained. No matter how far they flew, they would be able to fly back to their nests as long as they were set free.
Therefore, the carrier pigeons couldn't just fly around randomly. They had to go through fixed training before they could do so.
Pang Xiao understood Li Qitian's intentions and whispered, "Your Majesty is worried that the County King of Yan is still in contact with the old Dayan officials?"
Li Qitian nodded and said, "That's one of the reasons. The other reason is the most important one. I'm worried that if I let him go this time, he will find the treasure himself and take it for himself. He will then recruit new soldiers to fight against me. If that's the case, I'll be releasing a tiger back into the mountains. "
Pang Xiao could not help but smile when he heard that. "Your Majesty is wise and has already calculated everything. How could something like that happen? Don't worry, I will do my best to complete the task. "
"Very good, I believe you. This is the first time you've led the Dragon Stallion Army out. You have to be careful. I will arrange a capable deputy general for you. He was originally a talent in the Dragon Stallion Army. Don't tire yourself out. If there's anything you need, just order him to do it. "
He had even planted a nail in the coffin!
"Yes. As you wish. " Pang Xiao bowed respectfully. He did not show any emotions towards Li Qitian's arrangements and only listened to his orders.
Since Li Qitian had achieved his goal, he didn't have the patience to continue acting. He only smiled and instructed Pang Xiao. Then, he said, "You should also go back early. You still need to make arrangements for Wangfei to make preparations. Has her body gotten better? "
Pang Xiao frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Her body isn't doing well. Perhaps it's because she suffered too much in the early years and hurt her foundation. The imperial physician has given her a prescription to nurse her back to health. "
Li Qitian was not really concerned about Qin Yining. He was just being polite. Seeing Pang Xiao so sad, he could only patiently console him before ordering Li Guanwen to send Pang Xiao off.
Pang Xiao bowed respectfully and left the imperial study. He and Li Guanwen walked one after the other on the long palace path.
The ground was paved with bluestone bricks, and there were many tenacious grasses stretching out from the cracks. The red walls and green tiles separated the azure sky into a slender space.
Pang Xiao thought and said, "Chief Steward Li, while This King is away from the capital, I will have to trouble Chief Steward Li to stay by Your Majesty's side. If Your Majesty is tired, please help persuade him. Do not let Your Majesty work too hard. If the entire imperial court relies on Your Majesty, what will happen if he falls ill? Won't the imperial court be in chaos? "
"Wang Ye is right," Li Guanwen looked at Pang Xiao emotionally and said, "It is Wang Ye who knows how to care for Your Majesty. This servant has been by Your Majesty's side all day and knows Your Majesty's hardships. Wang Ye, don't worry. This servant will do my best to serve Your Majesty. "
"With Chief Steward Li here, This King has nothing to worry about. Goodbye then. "
Pang Xiao and Li Guanwen politely cupped their hands and quickly left.
Li Guanwen stood in the same spot and watched Pang Xiao walk away. Then, he smiled and returned to the imperial study. He casually mentioned Pang Xiao's concern for Your Majesty.
When Li Qitian heard this, he only smiled. He didn't seem to take it to heart and didn't seem to take it seriously.
When Pang Xiao brought Huzi back to the palace, Qin Yining had already received the news that she was going to accompany Pang Xiao.
This news came too suddenly. Qin Yining was stunned. However, Li Qitian's intentions were clear. She thought for a moment and understood the relationship between them.
Since it was an imperial edict, it couldn't be resisted no matter what. Your Majesty arranged for her to accompany Pang Xiao was exactly what she wanted. Even if Your Majesty didn't arrange it, she would have thought of a way to disguise herself and follow Pang Xiao. It wasn't just because they were newlyweds who didn't want to be separated. The most important thing was that this trip was definitely not as simple as disaster relief.
Qin Yining called Ji Yun and whispered in her ear, "Go to Master Zhong's place and tell him that I want to use the spices I asked him to buy from Mrs. Liao a while ago. Please ask Master Zhong to help me. I want to see Mrs. Liao. In addition, go home and tell my father that I want to see Mrs. Cao.
”
When Ji Yun heard this, her expression changed. She immediately went out to do as instructed.
Pang Xiao stood by the door for a long time. He listened to Qin Yining's instructions. He smiled and asked, "What spices do you want? There seems to be some spices and bait in our warehouse. I'll find them for you later. "
When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but smile and pinch Pang Xiao's earlobe.
One look at his earlobes and one could tell that he was blessed, and the base of his ears was surprisingly soft.
She was addicted to pinching and said with a smile, "I don't want any spices. Do you know the Qingtian Alliance? "
Pang Xiao hugged her waist and rested his face on her shoulder. He said softly, "Of course I know."
Qin Yining said, "Mrs. Liao is a member of the Qingtian Alliance. She is the person I use to contact the hall masters of the Qingtian Alliance."
"Sister Yi, you …"
"Don't tell me you don't know that I'm the leader of the Qingtian Alliance? Although the Dayan Dynasty has fallen, most of the people of the Qingtian Alliance have re-entered the Yellow Book. They have turned over a new leaf and become the people of Da Zhou. However, the people led by the Qingtian Alliance, no matter which emperor, will only regard them as rebels. Therefore, they are now unregistered residents without the Yellow Book. They don't dare to show up publicly. They only do some business on the Tatan border. "
Pang Xiao didn't expect Qin Yining to show his trump card to him. Not to mention her ability.
Her trust and sincerity were enough to move Pang Xiao.
He felt as if he was immersed in warm water, and that warm water was Qin Yining's embrace.
He touched her cheek with his cheek, and his breath blew in her ear, "Do you have any arrangements for the people of the Qingtian Alliance?"
Qin Yining was teased by his breath and snuggled into his embrace. She panted slightly and said, "I'm just taking precautions. I feel that this trip isn't simple. Your Majesty should have other plans. It's for the treasure."
"The soldiers you're going to bring out this time are all from the Dragon Legion. With Your Majesty's suspicious nature, he definitely won't let you come into contact with the people in the Dragon Legion alone. Therefore, he will definitely plant a spy in the Dragon Legion and let this spy come into contact with you. It can be considered as controlling you."
"That will be too passive. I don't want you to be directly under their blades."
Pang Xiao was touched and smiled, "My wife is really smart and capable. I don't even want to be Wang Ye anymore. I just want to be your husband at home and eat your soft rice. Don't you think that's great?"
Qin Yining could hear the seriousness in Pang Xiao's words. She understood that it wasn't that Pang Xiao didn't want to improve. It was just that he was too tired.
"There will be opportunities in the future. When the time comes, we'll find a place where no one will disturb us and live like this."
"You can eat my soft rice in any way?" Pang Xiao was very touched, but he still couldn't help but tease her.
Qin Yining's face turned red from his words. She pinched his ear and said, "I'm talking about serious matters. Why are you like this?"
Seeing that not only her face but also her neck turned red, Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, okay. I won't tease you anymore. It's understandable that you want to contact the people of the Qingtian Alliance. Your father's guard, Madam Cao, should be your concubine."
