What Qin Yining didn't mention was that Cao Yuqing might not agree to other people's requests, but since it was related to Qin Huaiyuan, Cao Yuqing would definitely agree to it.
In the past, Qin Yining only stood from the Sun Clan's point of view. He didn't want Cao Yuqing to get involved in his parents' marriage. Cao Yuqing was born beautiful, strong in martial arts, and rich in experience. It could be said that she was deeply in love with Qin Huaiyuan and would never leave him. After watching for such a long time, Qin Yining could see Cao Yuqing's sincerity and open-mindedness.
She could see that Qin Huaiyuan really didn't have any feelings for her, so she was willing to take a step back and become Qin Huaiyuan's bodyguard to protect him.
Because of love for the house, Qin Yining felt that Cao Yuqing was especially tolerant and trusting of him when facing him.
So this time, if she were to ask Silver Mask to secretly spy on Qin Huaiyuan, it would probably take a lot of effort and she might not succeed. But if she were to ask her father to speak, she was almost certain that whatever her father said would be the truth.
Qin Yining actually felt a little pity for Cao Yuqing's feelings of not being able to get what she wanted and could only protect. He also admired how she handled things.
If it was someone with bad intentions, with such powerful martial arts, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of the Sun Clan and make a place for himself? But she didn't do that because she respected Qin Huaiyuan's decision. And she also respected life.
Qin Yining, Pang Xiao, and Qin Huaiyuan discussed in a low voice for a moment. Pang Xiao instructed Huzi to quietly send Qin Huaiyuan out. "You will escort Minister Qin all the way. Don't let anyone discover your whereabouts. Be careful."
"Got it, Wang Ye." Huzi smiled and accepted the order.
The next day, Qin Yining went out in the morning to see Mrs. Liao on the pretext of buying spices. He also instructed Master Zhong to do some things before returning home at noon.
Lunch was eaten together as a family.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao had just gotten married. The newlyweds hadn't even warmed up the bed yet, but the Emperor had already arranged such a task for Pang Xiao. The whole family was a little reluctant. Even the Yao Clan, who wanted to compete with Qin Yining, felt a little reluctant.
Behind closed doors, they could play tricks. However, to outsiders, they were still a family. The Yao Clan was really afraid that Your Majesty would cause trouble again.
"Sigh, it's a good thing that Dai Fu can bring Yi Yi along when he goes out. Otherwise, I would really be worried to death." Mrs. Ma sighed.
Yao Chenggu poured cold water on him. "But Dai Fu is going to the South for disaster relief. I don't know if it will be dangerous."
When Mrs. Ma heard this, she frowned.
The Yao Clan was even more worried. "I heard that the earthquake in the old capital of Dayan was very serious and affected a lot of people. In such hot weather, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to save the people buried under the ruins. If the weather gets hot, it will speed up the decomposition …"
"That's enough, Mother." Pang Xiao helplessly interrupted the Yao Clan and comforted her with a smile. "It's okay, I'm just escorting the County King of Yan. I don't have to do anything."
The Yao Clan also felt that what they said just now was too inauspicious. Hearing this, they smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."
Seeing Qin Yining smiling at the side, the Yao Clan felt a little awkward.
It seemed that ever since Qin Yining married into the family, all her unfriendliness had been ignored by Qin Yining. No matter what unpleasant things she said, Qin Yining would just laugh it off and not argue with her. He would only show obedience.
The Yao Clan felt that Qin Yining was either really open-minded and kind, or he was very scheming. She was more inclined towards the latter.
"Sister Yi, when you're outside, you and Dai Fu have to take care of each other. The weather there is hot, so you have to be careful to avoid heatstroke and illness. "
"Yes, Mother, I understand."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Mother, you don't have to worry. After all, the old capital of Dayan used to be my hometown. I'm familiar with it, and I also have some businesses there. Wang Ye won't lose out when he goes there."
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Ma smiled and touched Qin Yining's face. "With you taking care of Dai Fu, we're all very relieved."
The Yao Clan nodded as well.
Once again, the atmosphere became harmonious and harmonious.
The time of departure was agreed upon.
The carrier pigeons that Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan asked for were also prepared. They were mixed in with the 30 carrier pigeons that Your Majesty had given them. Because no one expected Qin Yining and Pang Xiao to bring carrier pigeons with them, and because of Pang Xiao's noble status, no one really dared to check Wang Ye's carriage. The carrier pigeons were fooled just like that.
The disaster relief team was very large. When they left the capital, they attracted the attention of the common people.
The soldiers at the front of the team sounded the gongs to clear the way. After the ceremonial procession, they played "Silence" and "Leave" cards. Behind them was the County King of Yan's carriage. In the carriage sat the County King of Yan and his father-in-law, Gu Shixiong. As for Li Yanyan and Gu Chang, they were left at the County King of Yan's residence.
Behind the County King of Yan's carriage was a 200-strong Dragon Stallion army. This time, Your Majesty had specially arranged for Pang Xiao's second-in-command, You Meng, to lead the team.
Behind him was Pang Xiao, who was wearing a purple robe and a black cloak. He was sitting on a cold black horse with a straight back. Behind Pang Xiao was the prince's carriage and a few servants' carriages. Finally, there were the one hundred Dragon Stallion Army soldiers who were holding the line.
The disaster relief team put on a show. They only put away their ceremonial procession after they left the capital.
However, when they reached the next town, they still had to play the ceremonial procession with gongs and drums.
At that moment, Pang Xiao handed the horse to Huzi and jumped into the carriage.
The spacious carriage was covered with thick mattresses. Worried about the hot weather, they even put bamboo mats on the mattresses. Qin Yining was lying on his side on the bamboo mat. He was holding his head with one hand and reading a travel book with the other.
Her body rose and fell like a mountain, attracting all of Pang Xiao's attention.
Pang Xiao squatted at the door of the carriage and thought, "My wife is pleasing to the eye. Even when she's lying down, she's as beautiful as a painting."
Qin Yining had already noticed that Pang Xiao had returned. However, he only squatted at the door and didn't come in. He couldn't help but look up and ask, "What's wrong?"
When she looked up lazily, her casual flirtatiousness made Pang Xiao's heart beat faster. Although they were already married, Pang Xiao felt that his heart wasn't listening to him at times like this. His palms were sweaty. He felt that because he liked her, his heart ached and felt numb.
"Nothing. I'm just mesmerized by you," Pang Xiao said bluntly.
Qin Yining didn't take it seriously. He rolled his eyes and said, "Come and rest for a while. The journey is still long."
"That's right." Pang Xiao leaned against the big pillow beside Qin Yining. He pulled her into his arms and stole a kiss. "But there's nothing bad about this. We can be together every day on this journey. If I'm not in the capital, I'll be busy with all kinds of things. I can't accompany you just because I want to. "
Qin Yining laughed out loud. He didn't want to read anymore. He rested his head on Pang Xiao's strong thighs and said, "I also think that this is very good. If I don't think about the disaster, I'll think that we're going out to play.
Pang Xiao couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
The journey to the south wasn't peaceful. Not only would it be difficult to travel due to the rainy season, but they also encountered two "heroes" going down the mountain.
Fortunately, the Dragon Stallion Army was well-trained. Deputy General You Meng was also a brave and smart person. The journey was more daunting than dangerous.
Your Majesty also sent a few carrier pigeons to Pang Xiao along the way. Pang Xiao didn't just use carrier pigeons to greet them. He reported everything they encountered along the way in detail. He emphasized the words and actions of the County King of Yan along the way.
According to their honor guard, the County King of Yan and his party were at the front of the group. Pang Xiao and his party were at the back. Other than sleeping in the open, they didn't have many chances to talk.
Pang Xiao's dislike of the County King of Yan was very obvious. Sometimes, Pang Xiao even locked Qin Yining in the carriage and didn't let her out.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining both knew that there was more than one pair of eyes in their group watching them. If they made a mistake in their words or actions, Li Qitian would be even more suspicious.
On the morning of the fourteenth day of their journey, the carriage had already entered the territory where the Dayan court used to be. Huzi suddenly came to the front of the carriage and said with a smile,
"Wang Ye, Yuchi Yan and Gu Shixiong are no longer in the first carriage. Now, there are two stand-ins in the carriage. The first two were actors. They stayed in the carriage to pretend to be Gu Shixiong and Yuchi Yan because they received money."
Qin Yining heard this and looked at Pang Xiao in shock.
Pang Xiao wasn't surprised at all. "Got it. Secretly keep an eye on their direction. As for the group, don't get too close for now. Wait for You Meng to find out. "
"Yes." Huzi accepted the order and left.
Qin Yining said, "I guessed that Gu Shixiong would use this opportunity to urge the Yuchi Yan to search for the treasure. But I didn't expect the County King of Yan to use such a method to escape. Isn't he afraid that Your Majesty will kill Li Yanyan and Gu Chang when the news reaches the capital?"
Qin Yining didn't believe that the Yuchi Yan would go back to work like a cow or a horse after finding the treasure.
Therefore, the Yuchi Yan might have already predicted that he would find the treasure when he left the capital. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to go back and had already planned to sacrifice Li Yanyan and Gu Chang.
Seeing that Qin Yining's expression didn't look good, Pang Xiao patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "The Yuchi Yan is a man who doesn't do human things, but he has inherited his father's teachings. But don't worry, I won't abandon you no matter what. "
Qin Yining hugged Pang Xiao's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. She said, "I know you are good to me. I just don't think that with his personality, he would do something like this. This seems to be Gu Shixiong's doing. Gu Chang is Gu Shixiong's granddaughter, but Gu Shixiong left her in the capital as a hostage and risked the danger of being killed at any time. "
At this point, Qin Yining sat up and said, "Perhaps to him, Gu Chang is just a woman and not worth cherishing."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry. No matter what others do, my feelings for you will never change. My wife is so good. I wouldn't trade her for a mountain of gold."
Qin Yining heard Pang Xiao's words and couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, my Wang Ye."
