Qin Yining closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the bathtub. Her mind was filled with thoughts about the situation she would face when she returned to the capital, but she couldn't think of a perfect solution.
She was afraid that Pang Xiao would be forcefully held accountable by Li Qitian. She was also worried that Li Qitian would send her out for peace talks. At that time, the conflict between Pang Xiao and Li Qitian would intensify.
In the face of imperial power, it seemed that no matter what she did, the situation was not optimistic.
But on second thought, once she returned to the capital, she could go home whenever she wanted. Her father was so smart, and Pang Xiao wasn't bad either. The two of them could always come up with a good solution.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining felt a sense of relief, as if she had handed over all her responsibilities.
Compared to the pressure when she had to control the overall situation outside, and her decisions were likely to affect the lives of the Minuo tribesmen, the feeling of having someone to rely on now was really great.
Qin Yining's mind gradually relaxed, and her eyelids gradually became heavy. She couldn't help but fall asleep. Because she didn't allow anyone to serve her, the maids arranged by Madam Chen didn't dare to come in and disturb her.
So when Pang Xiao returned from the banquet, he didn't see anyone in the front hall or the bedroom, and his heart was a little flustered. When he entered the bathroom, he saw a "beauty" in the dense fog.
She was sleeping with her head tilted to the side. Her hair was loosely tied up, and her face was blurred in the hazy fog. Her fragrant shoulders and jade-like neck were exposed outside the water, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to her skin, making her snow-white skin seem as white as jade. Her full bosoms could only be roughly seen from top to bottom.
It was precisely this situation that made people's hearts beat faster than when she was naked.
Pang Xiao only felt that the wine he drank today had turned into steam and gathered in one place. He simply stretched out his long arms and carried her out.
Qin Yining was originally sleeping soundly, but when she was suddenly lifted into the air, she felt a chill on her body. She was so scared that she let out a soft cry. When she saw that the person carrying her was Pang Xiao, she remembered that she was bathing just now. She couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. She covered her face with her hands and asked, "You, when did you come back?"
"You just came back." Pang Xiao quickly wrapped her in a large bath towel and placed her on the bed.
Qin Yining grabbed the towel tightly. "You, you …"
Pang Xiao stood beside the bed. He took off his clothes and said with a smile, "Marshal Kang prepared good wine. I ate some. It's a pity that you didn't go to the banquet and didn't get to taste it."
Qin Yining blinked his slightly wet eyelashes. His gaze had already been attracted by the firm muscles on his abdomen. When he realized what he was looking at, he hurriedly turned his face away and replied, "Oh."
Pang Xiao loved this look of hers so much that he jumped onto the bed lightly. "Do you want to try their wine?"
Qin Yining felt that she had to find a topic to divert attention. Pang Xiao took the initiative to mention the wine, which was exactly what she wanted. She nodded and said, "Okay, why don't you ask them for some more?"
"No need to ask them, I have some here …"
As Pang Xiao spoke, he held the back of her head with one hand and pressed her against him. Their lips and teeth intertwined. The faint fragrance of wine and tea really made Qin Yining dazed. She didn't know if the wine was too mellow or if it was Pang Xiao's embrace and words of love that were too moving, but Qin Yining felt that she was already drunk. In a daze, she thought that if this continued, they might have a child soon.

Kang Qiong's hospitality was very considerate. Qin Yining and Pang Xiao also lived very comfortably. Qin Yining had suffered a lot outside and his body had suffered a lot. Pang Xiao asked Madam Chen for help the next day to find a doctor to help him recuperate.
The doctor was an old man with white hair and a white beard. After treating Qin Yining, he also took a look at Pang Xiao and gave them a prescription.
Pang Xiao took the prescription to a doctor in Jinghu Wei. After confirming that there were no problems, the two of them began to recuperate together.
At the same time, Pang Xiao was also invited by Kang Qiong to take a look around the Dragon Legion's barracks.
Because of Pang Xiao's title of War God and the fact that he was sworn brothers with the original commander of the Dragon Legion, Ji Zeyu, although there were some rumors that he didn't get along with Prince Consort Ji and even broke off their relationship, just his personal charm was something that the men in the army could not resist.
Those who were convinced worshipped Pang Xiao even more after seeing him in person.
Those who were not convinced were convinced after sparring with him.
Moreover, Pang Xiao was a straightforward person. Once he entered the army, he felt a sense of closeness. He treated the soldiers and generals under him honestly, scolding them when needed, punishing them when needed, praising them when needed, and rewarding them when needed. Just like that, in just a few days, he had fought with many people in the Dragon Legion's barracks and eaten a few meals together. He had become familiar with everyone.
While Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were living comfortably, Yi Binghu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
His mission was to kidnap Pang Xiao and bring him back to the capital. However, Pang Xiao was living so comfortably and there were more and more people supporting him. Yi Binghu felt that it was impossible for him to complete this mission in Heaven Pass.
However, even if he could not complete the mission, he could not take responsibility for his mistakes.
Yi Binghu immediately sent a secret letter to Your Majesty. In it, he described how arrogant Pang Xiao had been after seeing him and how he had tried to buy people's hearts. He then ordered someone to send the letter out in the middle of the night.
"Master." Huzi smiled as he replied, "That Yi Binghu sent a secret letter to Your Majesty. Should we intercept it?"
Pang Xiao was standing alone outside the school with his hands behind his back, watching the brothers of Jinghu Wei spar with the men of the Dragon Legion. Occasionally, there would be cheers and applause in his ears.
"I don't even need to look to know what he wrote. We don't need to care about him. Let him be. "
"Yes. But Wang Ye is just going to let that guy sow discord and stir up trouble? "
Pang Xiao slapped the horsewhip in his hand. That black whip was given to him by Ji Zeyu before he left.
"In our current situation, we don't care who is stirring up trouble. Because right and wrong have already been stuffed into that person's heart. It doesn't matter if someone adds fuel to the fire or not. "
Huzi had followed Pang Xiao for so many years. It could be said that he had personally seen how much Pang Xiao had sacrificed for Da Zhou. Now, he only felt that his stomach was filled with injustice and anger.
"When the dynasty was first established, the imperial court did not have money to pay the soldiers. That person pushed all the blame onto you, saying that you did not pay them. This caused the soldiers to misunderstand you for a long time. Later, when you entered the imperial court of Beiji, you had to do everything. He pretended to be a good person behind the scenes. You fought so hard for this country and sacrificed so much. When you took ninety-nine steps to reclaim Dayan, he sent down a decree and did not let you accept the letter of surrender. He did not give you any credit, and now he is treating you like this. I feel that you have been wronged for long enough. You really have been wronged enough. Even us brothers feel bad when we see you like this. "
"Alright, don't mention these things again." Pang Xiao still had the same smile on his face as before. He said, "I know that my brothers have me in your hearts and sincerely feel injustice for me. That is enough. If these words reach that person's ears, you are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of implicating you. "
Huzi pursed his lips and sighed for a long time.
Pang Xiao laughed. "Alright, don't think about these things for now. I see that you and Miss Tang like each other. Do you want me to help you?"
Huzi's face turned red. He stammered, "A real man should first establish his career and then have a family. I, I haven't established my career yet."
Pang Xiao was amused by his awkward appearance. "Don't think that I don't see what you secretly carve every day. Don't you learn from your master? If you like her, go after her. As a man, if you don't take the initiative, do you want the girl to take the initiative?"
"I, I don't, I don't have a chance."
"If you don't have a chance, create a chance. Marrying a wife is like fighting a war. If there is a slight chance, you have to do it. If there is no chance, you have to create a chance! "
Pang Xiao patted Huzi's head. "You are so hesitant. I feel anxious just looking at you. Why don't I ask the princess to help you make peace?"
"No, no, no. Mengmeng treats the princess as her savior, as her sister, as her master. Anyway, Mengmeng will definitely listen to the princess. That will show that she doesn't really want to marry me. It's better for me to ask her myself."
"Tsk, tsk. You are calling me little. It can be seen that I am anxious for nothing."
Huzi was stunned. He hurriedly said, "I am going to the toilet." Then he turned and ran away.
Seeing this, Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had different thoughts. Qin Yining was worried about the future, but Pang Xiao was not worried at all. He was still high-spirited, as if he was in control of the whole situation.
No matter how chaotic things were outside, he didn't want to bring those negative emotions home and make his wife and family live in fear.
Life was one thing. He was a man, and he should hold up the sky. If he started worrying for nothing before anything happened, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. In the end, wouldn't his wife and family have to live in fear every day?
Just like how he wouldn't stop Huzi from pursuing Bing Tang just because the situation was tense. What was there to be afraid of delaying the girl's thoughts? He also wouldn't stop having a child just because the situation was unclear.
On the contrary, he was looking forward to having a child with Qin Yining.
If he had a son, his mother and grandparents would probably be very happy.
But he still liked a daughter.
If he could have a daughter who was as beautiful as Sister Yi and as smart as Sister Yi, he would definitely spoil her like a treasure. He would never let his daughter suffer like Sister Yi had when she was young.
A certain mighty and domineering god of war, Wang Ye, smiled like a kind father as he stood on the sidelines of the drill ground and watched a group of rough men practice their fists and kicks.
In the distance, a group of Dragon Stallion Army soldiers couldn't help sighing inwardly that Wang Ye really loved his soldiers like his children. The rumors were true.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were locked up in Sky Domain for ten days. Finally, Yi Binghu couldn't hold back any longer and urged them to set off.
Seeing that Qin Yining had finished his last dose of medicine and had put on some weight during this period, Pang Xiao "showed mercy" and instructed, "This King is going back to the capital to meet the Emperor. General Yi, please lead a team to escort him."
Yi Binghu was so angry that he almost fainted.
Who was the master and who was the follower? He had come to escort a traitor who had committed treason. Who would have thought that in the end, he would be escorting Wang Ye back to the capital?!
But in the face of the covetous Jinghu Wei and the Dragon Stallion Army soldiers who got along very well with Pang Xiao, as well as the more than one hundred men he had brought with him who all regarded Pang Xiao as a god, Yi Binghu didn't make a move in the end.
