Qin Yining brought Bing Tang and Ji Yun to the front.
Bing Tang said in a low voice, "Wangfei, I think this family is kind. It's safe to stay here for now. "
"En, at least we don't have to worry about them playing tricks on us." Qin Yining said in a low voice, "It's just that the situation outside is too chaotic. I'm worried that something will go wrong. "
Ji Yun said, "Wang Ye has already ordered Jinghu Wei's people and Jing Zhe's group to set up defenses. Huzi has also gone to the streets to check out the situation. The Dragon Legion's people are all by Wang Ye's side, so they should be able to deal with any unexpected situations."
"That's good, but the situation is still not optimistic. Right now, the commoners don't know that Wang Ye is the disaster relief ambassador. Once they know that the disaster relief ambassador didn't bring the relief rice, then it won't be as peaceful as it is now. "
Ji Yun nodded solemnly. Bing Tang helplessly said in a low voice, "All crows are black. The unluckiest ones are always the commoners. "
Qin Yining sighed.
Although Li Qitian schemed against Pang Xiao previously, she wasn't that muddle-headed when it came to matters of right and wrong.
However, when it came to the treasure this time, Li Qitian's eyes were red. Everything she did was for the treasure.
It was also because of the huge amount of treasure. She heard Pang Xiao secretly say that there were only a few boxes of silver in the treasure. The rest were filled with gold, gems, and a box of antiques and paintings that were priceless. If they were all converted into silver, it would be more than seven million silver.
The annual military expenditure of the Dragon Legion and Tiger Legion was a huge sum of money. That sum of money was enough to support the two armies for five years. It was enough to solve Li Qitian's urgent needs.
It was true that wealth moved people's hearts. In front of such a huge sum of money, Li Qitian also lost his principles.
However, it was also his fault for being overly suspicious. If he hadn't suspected Pang Xiao from the beginning and let Pang Xiao do everything, how could things have developed to this point?
Qin Yining arrived at the front office, but he only saw Pang Xiao, and did not see Gong You.
"Where is Lord Gong?"
Pang Xiao pulled Qin Yining over and shoved the rolled up note in her hand to her, indicating for her to read. "Lord Gong has brought his men out to patrol the city."
Qin Yining opened the note and read it carefully. He could not help but raise his head in astonishment.
Although the content of the note was simple, it contained a lot of information.
This was Li Qitian's secret order, telling them that the treasure had indeed been stolen. He ordered Pang Xiao and Qin Yining to continue tracking the whereabouts of the treasure!
According to Li Qitian's investigation, the hidden treasure had been transported to a place called Yang County under the old capital. It was confirmed that the treasure was near Yang County, but the exact location was still up to Pang Xiao.
Qin Yining's heart was in a state of shock.
That was because the location she had arranged with Qingtian Alliance and the Silver Masked Spy was not Yang County!
Could it be that Li Qitian's investigation was wrong?
That was impossible. No matter how useless Li Qitian was, when it came to the whereabouts of such a large sum of money, it was impossible for him to make a mistake.
That meant that the people she arranged to steal the treasure had made a mistake!
Was it Qingtian Alliance's problem or the Silver Masked Spy's problem?
Or were they working together to betray her and take away the treasure to divide it equally?
Pang Xiao saw that Qin Yining's expression was not good, so he hurriedly comforted him in a low voice, "It's okay, don't think too much."
Qin Yining stared at Pang Xiao and said in a low voice, "Where do you think the problem came from?"
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Maybe there's no problem at all. It's just that there were some last-minute changes that forced them to send the treasure elsewhere. You should trust them, don't let your imagination run wild and make yourself suffer. "
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You don't have to comfort me, it can't be like that. Previously, the higher-ups were not prepared at all and were only focused on waiting for the treasure to return to the capital. How could they make last-minute changes? If it wasn't the higher-ups, then it would be even more impossible for anyone else. This time, the information was blocked and we were trapped in the mountains for more than half a month. The people who could have leaked the information were either killed or trusted subordinates of the higher-ups. “
How could Pang Xiao not know this?
However, Qin Yining was so sad, and he really didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
Qin Yining had said before that the people of the Qingtian Alliance couldn't be fully trusted. Although the people of the Silver Mask Secret Agents were loyal, there were too few of them and they were too weak to take action.
However, when things really went in a direction that they didn't want to see the most, how could they not be affected?
"Sister Yi, don't think too much. You've already done enough, much better than many women. These things were originally uncontrollable, so you can't be blamed for it. "
Qin Yining rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said in a low voice, "I know, but this matter is most likely because there's a traitor among my people. That's why it's like this. The most embarrassing thing is that I still don't know which side this traitor belongs to. If it was your Jinghu Wei, they definitely wouldn't have done this. "
Pang Xiao took Qin Yining into his arms with heartache and said in a low voice, "You've already helped me a lot by doing this, really. Jinghu Wei is being closely monitored. If it weren't for you, wouldn't we have to watch the enemy get stronger? I don't have the heart to rebel, but I also don't want to sit still and wait for death. Sister Yi, you've really helped me a lot. "
Qin Yining sat on the chair and hugged Pang Xiao's thin waist with both hands, burying her face in his abdomen.
Sometimes, she really felt very tired. However, she knew that she and Pang Xiao were now tied together. They were husband and wife. As long as one of them was tired and retreated, then all the pressure would be transferred to the other.
Now that the situation was so tense, she absolutely couldn't relax. She didn't want to hide behind Pang Xiao and let him protect her. That way, she would only be a burden to Pang Xiao.
She had to have enough ability to walk side by side with him.
"I'm fine." When she straightened up again, she was able to smile calmly.
"Your Majesty wants to track down the whereabouts of Yang County's treasure. If we don't take action, we have to find a time to go. Also, I want to try to contact the Silver Mask Spy and the Qingtian Alliance. "
Pang Xiao smiled and leaned over to kiss her forehead. "You're right. We'll listen to you. When I came out, Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu were very worried and wanted to follow me. I was afraid that there was no one in the capital to support me, so I left them at home. They were worried, so I told them that I had you by my side. You're my strategist. Now, it seems that my judgment was right. "
Qin Yining was amused by his words. "You only know how to make me happy. I'm not a strategist. I'm just a little smart. "
"Don't belittle yourself. If an ordinary woman had your cleverness, she would be more than qualified to be the empress, let alone be in charge of the harem. "
"Nonsense." Qin Yining rebuked and lightly pinched Pang Xiao.
