Pang Xiao sneered, "Thank you for the compliment. Compared to shameless methods, This King is inferior to General You."
"You! When did I act shamelessly? "
"You detained Your Majesty's treasures and pretended to be Your Majesty's most trusted subordinate. You used your military authority to smuggle the treasures and refused to admit it. You even pinned the blame on This King. If this isn't shamelessness, what is?!"
"You're slandering me!" You Meng was so angry that he stomped his feet. He pointed at Pang Xiao and scolded, "Don't think that you're so great just because you're Wang Ye. Who doesn't know your background?! Now that you don't have military authority, you're still so arrogant. Who knows how arrogant you were in front of Your Majesty when you led the Tiger Army! No wonder Your Majesty stripped you of your military authority! "
These words had truly pierced Pang Xiao's heart. If the previous words were all an act, the emotions triggered by this sentence came from the heart.
The Tiger Army was Pang Xiao's painstaking effort. The soldiers and generals in it were all brothers who had gone through life and death together. Even the most open-minded person would not be willing to be transferred by Li Qitian with just one sentence, let alone someone like Pang Xiao who was suspected all day long.
Pang Xiao's face darkened. He did not continue to argue with You Meng. He only pulled Qin Yining's hand and pushed You Meng away. "Get out of the way!"
"Ah! You can't go out! "
Pang Xiao ignored them. Whoever blocked the way, he pushed them away with force. His strength combined with some internal energy. The few people from the Dragon Stallion Army could not stop him.
You Meng hurriedly ordered a few people to follow.
After Pang Xiao and Qin Yining went out, they did not go far. Instead, they returned to the carriage to rest. It was as if everything in the cave had nothing to do with them.
In the carriage, Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder and caressed his long, calloused hand. "Don't be angry. It's not worth being angry with these people."
"I know." Pang Xiao lowered her eyes and played with Qin Yining's hand.
Qin Yining said with a smile, "You don't have to feel regretful. Even if you don't have military power, you and your brothers have been through blood and tears together. How can it be gone just like that? As long as everyone is still around, there will definitely be a day when we can fight side by side. "
These words were spoken in Pang Xiao's heart.
He looked up at Qin Yining, who was smiling sweetly in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. "Why do you always know everything when it comes to you?"
"Naturally, it's because I have thought things through." Qin Yining smiled lightly.
Pang Xiao stretched out his arms and hugged Qin Yining. He kissed her cheek. "Luckily, I have you by my side. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have hurt you."
"I know you wouldn't." Qin Yining rubbed against Pang Xiao's chest. "You are a rational person. You know what you are doing and what you should do. That's why I'm not worried at all. "
With someone by his side who understood and trusted him like this, Pang Xiao felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. He couldn't help but smile contentedly.
Luckily, there was someone by his side at this time.

Li Qitian continued to receive messenger pigeons. It was only after he read the latest two pieces of paper that he was finally able to put his heart at ease.
The first message was from Pang Xiao. It meant that the treasure had been found, but he suspected that You Meng would embezzle the treasure. He asked Your Majesty to quickly deploy troops to guard it to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the situation. He also complained a little about why Your Majesty did not trust him.
The second message was from You Meng. The message was simple and to the point. The treasure had been found, and they were in the process of checking and preparing to move it out. Your Majesty would probably receive the treasure in half a month. In addition, Prince Zhongshun and Wang Fei are not far from the cave entrance and have not left. Prince Zhongshun does not trust this humble subject, but his loyalty to Your Majesty is real.
For Li Qitian, this was equivalent to two simultaneous happy events.
The treasure had been found. This time, the matter of the treasure made him understand that he had been narrow-minded. Pang Xiao was still very loyal to him.
Li Qitian carefully read the note several times before finally burning it with the candle flame.
He took a deep breath. He finally had a large sum of money. The matter of disaster relief could be relaxed. Maybe he could even leave a large sum of money for future needs.
Li Qitian's mood was good. Even the days of the court officials were relaxed. The Jing City was harmonious.
Compared to the Jing City, although Pang Xiao and Qin Yining's living conditions were checked, they were in a very good mood.
Thanks to the imperial edict, His Majesty ordered them to stay put and wait for orders. Pang Xiao had no choice but to stay put and wait for orders. Because they were counting the treasures in the cave and they had to transport them out one by one, it was really troublesome. He couldn't directly take Qin Yining to live in the carriage, so he ordered his subordinates to build a triangular hut not far away.
Qin Yining was used to living in the mountains. With the help of Pang Xiao's subordinates, they did not have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Their days were very comfortable.
Under the surveillance of the Dragon Stallion Army arranged by You Meng, Qin Yining even pulled Pang Xiao to pick wild vegetables and hunt.
Pang Xiao held a bow in one hand and put his other hand on Qin Yining's shoulder. "Sister Yi, it would be good if we could live such leisurely days in the future. We would not have to worry about food and water, and we would not have to worry about other things. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "We will. As long as we work hard, our days will only get better and better."
What he admired was this kind of confident and strong Qin Yining. She was different from all the other women who were like dodder flowers.
Because he was worried that the secret would be leaked, You Meng was very careful when excavating and transporting the treasures.
Early in the morning, the people from the Dragon Stallion Army who had gone out to prepare the carriages returned.
"Should we transport these goods first, or wait for all the goods to be brought out before we transport them together?"
You Meng hesitated.
With such a large amount of "goods," if they were transported together, if there was an accident, they would all be lost together.
But if they were separated, then the people following each carriage would be separated, and the protection would be weakened. If they lost one carriage after another, he would also be in trouble.
You Meng thought about it and was in a dilemma.
He could not help but look at Wang Ye and Wang Fei who were whispering sweet nothings in the bamboo hut not far away.
He wanted to ask for Pang Xiao's opinion, but he had already said everything before, so he could not be thick-skinned and ask. If he wanted to ask for Your Majesty's orders, then he would send a letter to Your Majesty and make it seem like he was exaggerating when he said that he would see the treasure in half a month. If Your Majesty thought that he was lying to the Emperor, then it would not be good.
After thinking about it, You Meng gritted his teeth and decided, "Let's wait for a while. Three hundred of us will protect a group of carriages. It will be safer."
The people of the Dragon Stallion Army naturally listened to You Meng's orders.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were not far away. They could vaguely hear their conversation clearly. At this moment, they looked at each other. Then, they calmly went back to doing something else.
Pang Xiao released the last carrier pigeon after You Meng and the others had worked hard for two days to get all the boxes out of the box.
