When Qin Yining saw Cao Yuqing, she quickly asked her to sit down and whispered, "Have you eaten? Share some with me. "
Cao Yuqing shook her head and said, "I ate casually. I found the clue left by the spy. "
Seeing Cao Yuqing's serious expression, Qin Yining couldn't help but become serious.
She knew Cao Yuqing's ability and guessed that the silver-masked spy would leave some clues, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Did this mean that there was something wrong with the people of Qingtian Alliance?
At this time, Qin Yining only felt that she was in a fog.
She didn't know which side to believe. She really hoped that she could have loyal subordinates. If she had such a group of subordinates, how could this kind of thing happen today? How could she be in a dilemma?
Seeing that Qin Yining was in a difficult position, Cao Yuqing patted her shoulder to comfort her and said in a low voice, "I followed the clues and found a crack formed by an earth dragon turning over. It's located on the road from the old capital to Yang County. The crack is very big and there is no shelter around it. Ordinary people will find a way to go around it. I pretended to pass by and took a glance, but I didn't dare to approach because I was afraid of alerting the enemy. However, I suspect that the treasure is hidden there. "
Qin Yining's white fingers tightly pinched her skirt, making her cherry petal-like pink fingernails turn white.
The feeling of being betrayed was really uncomfortable.
Especially when this matter was related to life and death.
Qin Yining wasn't afraid of death, but this matter was related to the life and death of the Pang Family and Family Qin. She couldn't help but feel flustered. She even blamed herself.
If it wasn't for her self-righteous plan, how could Pang Xiao use the people of Qingtian Alliance? How could things have developed to this point now?
Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining's handsome face and her eyes gradually became distant. She stretched out her arm and patted Qin Yining's shoulder.
"Don't think too much. This isn't your fault. Now that things have happened, we will find a way to make up for it. Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. There would always be a solution. His Highness and I will keep you safe and sound. As for the capital, your father will take care of the safety of both families. You can be unconfident, but don't you believe in your father's ability? "
Qin Yining took a deep breath and slowly nodded.
"You are right. My father is the wise Pan An. Even if I make a big trouble, he will have a way to solve it. "Qin Yining said this, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or not...
Cao Yuqing smiled and said, "You don't say, I think you're too worry-free. Your father can't wait for you to make some trouble and then come home crying for him to help you. Although your father didn't have many children, he was actually a person who loved his children very much. Although he is extremely intelligent, he also has a childish side. "
When Cao Yuqing talked about Qin Huaiyuan, her tone became strangely gentle.
Qin Yining knew that she had deep feelings for Qin Huaiyuan and had secretly liked him for many years. When Qin Huaiyuan was at his most difficult time, she didn't leave him and stayed by his side regardless of his status. She admired such feelings.
Sometimes, Qin Yining felt conflicted. For the sake of the Sun Clan, she should be enemies with Cao Yuqing.
But after Cao Yuqing found that Qin Huaiyuan didn't have any romantic feelings for her, she didn't chase after Qin Huaiyuan. Instead, she became his most loyal bodyguard and subordinate. She was willing to silently contribute without asking for anything in return. She really couldn't hate her.
"Aunt Cao." Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing and called her aunt willingly. "Thank you."
Cao Yuqing's eyelashes trembled. She looked at Qin Yining's sincere eyes and slowly bloomed with a gentle smile.
"Silly girl, your father and I are good friends. It's my duty to help. There's no need to thank me."
Qin Yining shook her head. She didn't say anything, but she was moved.
In fact, if Cao Yuqing had any bad intentions and wanted to harm the Sun Clan so that she could take over, as a silver-masked spy, she had a hundred ways to achieve her goal without anyone knowing.
But she didn't.
Qin Yining sighed and shook her head. She didn't want to bring up a topic that would make Cao Yuqing sad and embarrassed, so she said, "I understand the current situation. I will discuss it with Wang Ye before making a decision. "
"That's fine. Wang Ye has his own opinions and is very good at controlling the overall situation. You guys discuss how to deal with this. I'll go out and investigate again. I'll let you know when I get the news. "
Cao Yuqing stood up.
Qin Yining tried to persuade her to stay. "It's not safe outside. You should stay here."
"No need. It's very comfortable outside. Besides, I have to keep an eye on the movements of the Dragon Stallion Army. It's not convenient to stay here."
Qin Yining nodded in understanding. He walked Cao Yuqing to the window and watched her leave through the window.
After Pang Xiao returned. Qin Yining explained the matter to him in detail as usual.
"The crack you're talking about was formed by the Earth Dragon turning over this time? The one we passed by when we came to Yang County from the old capital? "
"Yes." Qin Yining sighed. "If Aunt Cao didn't find the clues left by the silver-masked spy, who would have thought that the treasure would be there?"
Pang Xiao heard her change the way she addressed Cao Yuqing. He couldn't help but hug her waist and let her sit on his lap. He smiled and said, "It seems like you like Cao Yuqing very much now?"
"I admire her very much." Qin Yining sat sideways on Pang Xiao's lap. He rested his head on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Although I feel sorry for my mother, objectively speaking, I think Aunt Cao did a lot for my father. She didn't use dirty means to harm my mother, nor did she enter the house. She was willing to be a guard. I feel that if I stood in her position, I wouldn't be able to do it. "
Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows and tightened his arms around Qin Yining. "If I was already married when we met, would you not care about me and not like me?"
Qin Yining heard this and couldn't help but sit up straight. He looked up at him.
Pang Xiao also looked down.
Their gazes met. Qin Yining's voice was full of laughter and affection. "Idiot, why are you thinking so much about things that won't happen?"
Qin Yining felt that Pang Xiao was sometimes like a child. He actually cared about things that wouldn't happen.
However, Pang Xiao wasn't willing to give up. He shook her gently and said, "No, you still have to answer me. If I was already married when I first met you, would you not like me and would you not be willing to follow me? "
Qin Yining thought about it carefully and analyzed his likes and dislikes. In the end, he nodded and said, "
If external factors forced me to do it, then I might have done it. But from my heart, I don't want to be someone's concubine and steal someone's husband. As a woman, I understand the hardships of being a woman the most. I understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want done to you. "
"But when a person's feelings really explode, it's hard to control them."
Qin Yining smiled and shook his head. He said, "Feelings are one thing, and actions are another. Is it right to disturb someone else's family for your own selfish reasons? Can saying that your feelings are hard to control offset all your mistakes? On the contrary, I feel that humans are better than animals in that they have reason and can control their actions. If everything is done according to one's nature and instinct, then what's the difference between them and animals? "
"You little girl," Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh and planted a loud kiss on her cheek. "You're scolding too many people. You're scolding all those men and women who can't control themselves and have mistresses or become concubines. "
Qin Yining smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. She said, "Everyone's thoughts are different. I'm just saying what I think. Although I support my mother and don't want her to be unhappy, I also know that Aunt Cao didn't do anything wrong. Her feelings for my father are probably no less shallow than my mother's feelings for my father. In fact, she's even sacrificed more than my mother. "
"So you trust her?" Pang Xiao rubbed his chin against her forehead.
Qin Yining couldn't help but nod. He said, "Yes, because of her feelings for my father. It's also because she has a precedent of 'love me, love my dog'. She wouldn't lie to me. Even if those six silver-masked spies betrayed us, she probably wouldn't know. "
Pang Xiao listened to Qin Yining's analysis and kissed her forehead again.
Things weren't easy to handle.
Although the roads were being repaired and the situation in the disaster area was basically stable, there would be no mass uprising for the time being. However, their every move was under Li Qitian's surveillance. Moreover, Li Qitian had brought the Dragon Stallion Army to encircle the old capital. If they really did anything rash, Li Qitian, who was so poor that he had gone mad, would definitely turn on them mercilessly.
If Pang Xiao had come alone, he wouldn't have cared about this. The problem was that he had Qin Yining with him.
He could act shamelessly by himself, but it was inconvenient to have Qin Yining with him. He couldn't let Qin Yining take the risk with him.
However, if the treasure fell into Li Qitian's hands, they probably wouldn't be able to use it for disaster relief. It was obvious what Li Qitian wanted the treasure for.
At that time, not only him, but even Ji Zeyu's position would become very awkward.
In the past, when they didn't have money, Li Qitian could think of all sorts of ways to weaken their military power and sow discord between them. It could be said that he was really good at using the method of hiding the bow after the birds were killed.
Once he had money, who knew what kind of tricks Li Qitian would come up with?
He was no longer alone in the world. He had more things to worry about and didn't want to take the risk.
Thinking of this, Pang Xiao decided that he still had to fight for the treasure. It didn't matter whether or not he needed the treasure to feed his army in the future. For safety's sake, he couldn't let Li Qitian get it.
However, in the current situation …
They were all under strict surveillance. What should they do?
Qin Yining suddenly said, "I've thought of a way to investigate the treasure. I don't know if it'll work. Do you want to hear it?"
Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "You and I really have telepathy. I was just thinking about how to investigate it."
Qin Yining stood up with a smile and whispered in his ear. Pang Xiao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still nodded hesitantly.
"That's fine. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, you can directly return to the capital. You can avoid danger and suffering here.
