Qin Yining rode beside Pang Xiao on his horse. When the group arrived at the city gates, they saw that the gates were already slowly opening. Over a hundred soldiers rushed out from the gates and lined up on both sides. The sharp ends of their weapons were all pointed at Pang Xiao's group.
Then, a man in his forties wearing golden armor rode out on a horse. Behind him was a middle-aged man with big shoulders and a round waist. The armor of the capital's military camp was particularly eye-catching.
Pang Xiao held onto the reins of his and Qin Yining's mounts with one hand and played with the whip in his hand with the other. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Not bad. You're welcoming This King with a great lineup. This King is very gratified. "
Yi Binghu's face turned red with anger when he heard this. He almost fell off his date red horse. He urged his horse forward and reprimanded in a deep voice, "Hey! You traitor, you still have the face to speak nonsense here! "
Pang Xiao didn't even look at Yi Binghu. He smiled and urged his horse forward. He cupped his hands towards Kang Qiong, "Marshal Kang. Long time no see. "
"Wang Ye," Kang Qiong hurriedly cupped his hands in return and smiled, "Wang Ye must be tired from the journey. Please enter the city to rest first. This official has already ordered people to clean out the best room in the relay station. Hot water and wine have already been prepared. The welcome banquet has also been prepared. We're just waiting for Wang Ye. "
"I'll have to trouble Marshal Kang to make the arrangements," Pang Xiao smiled and nodded. He was about to lead Qin Yining and his brothers into the city.
When Yi Binghu saw this, his eyes turned red with anger. He kicked his horse's abdomen and rushed forward, blocking Pang Xiao's group.
"No! You're a traitor, how can you enjoy such great treatment! Since you still know to come back to the country, you should have some shame! You betrayed Da Zhou back then. Now that you're back, you're a sinner.
It's fine if you're not shackled.
You still want to have a welcome banquet? "
Yi Binghu said as he pulled out his sword from his waist. He pointed it at Pang Xiao and said, "Men, arrest this traitorous criminal for this General!"
Silence.
It was still quiet.
Be it the people of the Dragon Legion Corps that Kang Qiong had brought or the people of the Jingdu Camp that Yi Binghu had brought, no one moved.
As for the Jinghu Wei brought back by Pang Xiao, they were all expressionless as they stared coldly at Yi Binghu, as if they were looking at a dead man. Yi Binghu was so scared that the hair on his back stood on end.
A gust of wind blew past, making Yi Binghu's saber look somewhat desolate.
"Do it! Wei Erbao! Li Daniu! And you guys! "Yi Binghu turned around and pointed angrily at his subordinates.
Pang Xiao chuckled and urged her horse forward, as if she didn't care that Yi Binghu's sword was pointed at her. She passed by the soldiers wearing the uniform of the Jingji Guard and called out their names one by one.
"Wei Erbao, you seem to have put on weight again?"
"Li Daniu, you're still laughing. Look at your cigarette teeth! I told you to smoke less! "
"Qian Dong, look at you. Did Wei Erbao steal all your food?"
"Tsk tsk, Wu Xiaogui, why are you still as skinny as a monkey?"
… …
Every time Pang Xiao passed by someone, she could accurately call out their name. She could even casually laugh and tease them. It was clear that although these people were people who had failed to be selected from the Tiger Legion, Pang Xiao had never forgotten them. She even remembered their likes and dislikes.
When these people saw Pang Xiao, their eyes were filled with worship. There was no hatred at all.
Li Daniu chuckled, then covered his mouth in embarrassment, "Wang Ye, it's hard for me to quit smoking. Wait until I'm good at martial arts, then I'll go to the Tiger Legion to try. If I succeed, then you can take me in!"
His simple and honest words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Pang Xiao smiled, "That won't do. The commander of the Tiger Legion is now Ji Lan. I'll talk to Ji Lan later. If you're good enough and can catch her eye, then she'll take you in."
"Oh! Thank you, Wang Ye! "Li Daniu's voice was very loud.
The Ji Lan that Wang Ye was talking about was the current emperor's son-in-law, Ji Zeyu. She used to be the commander of the 100,000 Dragon Legion. She was also a hero who was as famous as Wang Ye. She was one of the few talented generals in the world. If Ji Zeyu took a liking to her, then it would be great!
Pang Xiao spoke to the people in a friendly manner. The scene was very relaxed and lively. It didn't seem like Yi Binghu had brought people to stop them. Instead, it seemed like Pang Xiao and the Tiger Legion were old acquaintances who were meeting each other.
Yi Binghu was completely stunned at this time. He looked at the people who were supposed to capture Pang Xiao, but now they were all talking to Pang Xiao with worship. They didn't have any intention of capturing him at all. Yi Binghu was anxious and angry.
"What are you all thinking! Have you all forgotten Your Majesty's painstaking efforts? You all came with me, so you all have to listen to my orders! I order you all to immediately capture Prince Zhongshun and Princess Consort and bring them back to the capital! "
Yi Binghu was so angry that even his hair was about to explode. His roar could cause an avalanche in the distant mountains.
However, none of the people close to him were willing to listen to him! Although he came with orders, his orders weren't imperial edicts. If no one was willing to listen to his orders, what could he do by himself?
In particular, the group of followers brought by Pang Xiao were all glaring daggers at him. He was sure that if Pang Xiao gave the order, these soldiers and followers of the Prince Mansion would immediately charge at him and perish together with him without any regard for their own safety.
When Yi Binghu thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver. He was still young. He didn't want to die here for no reason.
Therefore, when he didn't get an answer, Yi Binghu didn't dare to continue shouting. He could only clench his teeth tightly and not let himself say anything that would anger the other party.
Pang Xiao talked with his old acquaintances and said, "Open the city gates." He turned around and said to Yi Binghu, "You all came at the right time. This King is going back to the capital to see Your Majesty. You all can escort him."
Escort?
Couldn't he be escorted into the prison carriage?
Yi Binghu clenched his teeth and said after a while, "Since Wang Ye is willing, this official naturally doesn't dare to disobey."
In any case, the closer they were to the capital, the more people Your Majesty would have. The chances of Pang Xiao's group escaping would be smaller and he would be able to report easily.
Kang Qiong said at the right time, "Wang Ye finally came to Tian Yu Pass. No matter what, he should have a drink with his brothers before leaving. The banquet has been set up. If Wang Ye doesn't eat, wouldn't it be a waste? Also, the brothers that Wang Ye brought also need to drink wine to warm their bodies. Wang Fei also needs to rest. "
Yi Binghu clenched his teeth and glared at Kang Qiong. He thought to himself, this person is really superfluous. Why is he meddling when it has nothing to do with him!
Pang Xiao looked at Yi Binghu's nervous appearance. He had seen enough of Yi Binghu's nervous appearance, so he kindly stopped teasing Yi Binghu's appetite. He smiled and said, "If that's the case, how can this prince fail to live up to Marshal Kang's good intentions?"
Hearing this, Kang Qiong laughed heartily, "Wang Ye, please!"
"Marshal Kang, please!"
Kang Qiong and Pang Xiao dismounted and walked together to the city gates.
Yi Binghu was left to the side. Seeing the Fu soldiers that Pang Xiao brought with him follow the guards of Tian Yu Pass into the city, Li Daniu and the others beside Kang Qiong were very anxious.
In reality, even if they entered the city, they did not have the qualifications to drink with Pang Xiao. But they worshipped Pang Xiao in their hearts. It was as though they could touch the aura of the god of war if they followed him closely. Seeing Yi Binghu not speak, everyone became impatient from waiting.
At this moment, Yi Binghu deeply felt Pang Xiao's prestige and popularity in the army. It was as if all the officers and soldiers at the border were worshipping him as if he was a god. It made Yi Binghu feel like a clown.
He was embarrassed and angry. He also cursed Kang Qiong, that old fox, for being good at pleasing his subordinates. He knew that his subordinates worshipped Pang Xiao and took the opportunity to invite them to a banquet. He was really cunning.
Yi Binghu thought for a while. Seeing that the city gates were about to close, Yi Binghu coldly called out to the people beside him, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for your Wangye to bring you in?"
Yi Binghu kicked the belly of the horse and the horse charged in. His subordinates looked at each other. In the end, they all curled their lips in disdain and followed him into the city.
Qin Yining was placed in the back of the Tian Yu Pass Yamen. Led by Kang Qiong's wife, Madam Chen, he was placed in the best room in the back of the yamen.
"Princess, you must be tired from the journey and have worked hard. The border is cold and naturally cannot compare to the capital, but there are warm rooms. I hope that princess will not dislike them. "
"Madam Chen, there is no need to be so polite. This is already too good. Madam Chen, there is no need to vacate the main room. Wang Ye and I will be entering the capital soon and will only be staying for a short time. Why go through so much trouble? "
Hearing Qin Yining call her Madam Chen, Madam Chen couldn't help feeling happy. When a woman got married, most of them would call their husband by his surname. However, there were some women who had their own careers or had a good reputation that would be called by their family's surname. Qin Yining calling her Madam Chen was already showing her great respect.
Madam Chen looked at Qin Yining's appearance and her sense of propriety. She couldn't help secretly praising in her heart. She really was the daughter of Wise Pan An, she really was different from normal women. It was no wonder Wang Ye was so angry for a woman that he went against thirty three imperial edicts to find her. He even risked treason for her and went deep into the Tatan to find her.
If all the women in the world knew that the God of War Wang Ye was so infatuated with the princess, there wasn't a single person that wouldn't envy Qin Yining.
Now that she had seen Qin Yining, Madam Chen thought that she really was an outstanding woman. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the God of War Wang Ye to become so soft.
The two of them admired each other and chatted as they entered the main room. Madam Chen ordered people to prepare hot water for them to bathe. Then she carefully checked the charcoal, bedding, and other things in the room. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she left.
