Pang Xiao nodded gloomily, "Something always happens when you're not by my side. I'm scared of you now. As long as I don't see you, I feel my eyelids twitching, and my heart is restless. I can't calm down no matter what I do."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "You're really scared."
"Yes. People say that I'm a murderous person who kills without batting an eyelid. A person like me shouldn't be afraid of anything, but I know in my heart that only when it comes to you, I'm really scared. I think I'm that kind of irrational person. "
Pang Xiao was strong and domineering, such a person who would rather break than bend, but in front of her, he confessed the deepest fear in his heart. She was very distressed, but more than that, she was satisfied and cherished.
To be able to have such a sincere husband, they didn't get married in a blind way, but they liked each other. To be able to be together, this was already a great blessing.
In this regard, she was much happier than Qiu Feishan.
Thinking of Qiu Feishan, she couldn't help but think of the Qiu Family.
"We've fallen out with the Qiu Family. They are a big family, and must have a lot of connections in the Imperial Court. I'm worried that when we go back, the Qiu Family will counterattack."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "I think so too. Since the Qiu Family doesn't intend to support me, and has chosen to support others, no matter who it is, they will be my enemy. So I'm thinking that we should hurry back to the old capital as soon as possible and make preparations in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by the Qiu Family. "
Qin Yining sighed helplessly, "This time, we've really been fooled by Qiu Feishan. Before coming to Jianchuan, no one would have thought that there was such a big family behind the Four-Way Shop, and this big family hides the secrets of prominent families and hidden families."
"So, the Lu Family's relationship with them is unusual. Since the Qiu Family decided to change from hidden to prominent because of the Lu Family, Lu Heng's choice to support Your Majesty is certain. "
Both of them were silent. Especially Qin Yining.
Although she had some disagreements with the Lu Heng Family and had schemed against each other, after being kidnapped by the Tatan, she had indeed gone through thick and thin with Lu Heng. This kind of friendship between life and death was not fake.
Qin Yining also knew that Lu Heng had feelings for her. Therefore, he had intentionally distanced himself from her. But he didn't expect Lu Heng to make such a decision in the end.
Outsiders like them didn't know the secrets of the prominent and hidden clans, but Lu Heng should know. In a situation where he clearly knew of this rule, Lu Heng still clearly took sides in the court. That was truly unwise. Because as long as one took a side, it was equivalent to being blocked. In the future, there would be wins and losses. It would never be like when one was neutral, where one could change one's rudder according to the wind and preserve one's strength.
Lu Heng was a good person, but he was not a qualified family head. Now that she thought about it, this was probably the reason why Grand Secretary Lu felt so regretful before his death.
Many thoughts flashed through Qin Yining's mind. Leaning against Pang Xiao's warm embrace, she breathed in the familiar and reassuring scent. After going through a crisis, her exhausted body finally relaxed and she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing her gradually stabilizing breathing, Pang Xiao couldn't help but look down at the person in his arms.
She must have been scared out of her wits. Even though she was asleep, her delicate brows were still furrowed and her fan-like long eyelashes fluttered uneasily. Her sleep was extremely restless.
Pang Xiao kissed her forehead with heartache. He hugged her tighter and wrapped her in his arms. She seemed to feel safe. Her furrowed brows gradually loosened, and her whole body relaxed.
So good.
She was in his arms again.
Ever since he received the news that Qin Yining was trapped, he hadn't slept well. Pang Xiao's exhaustion had reached its limit. Unknowingly, he also fell into a deep sleep.

The journey to the old capital was extremely smooth. Under the protection of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, how could there be any danger? Perhaps it was because they heard that the army specialized in suppressing the bandits, many of the bandits along the way became nervous.
Wherever Pang Xiao went, he would naturally send people to inquire about the bandits. If there were any bandits on the mountain, he would lead the army to suppress them. The income from suppressing the bandits could be used to support the army's consumption. In this way, the lie of going out to train the soldiers was true and there was no need to worry about the military's expenditure.
Qin Yining's journey was very smooth and she was well protected. The only thing that worried her was Qiu Feishan and Mu Jinghu.
She didn't know why Mu Jinghu took Qiu Feishan away. This person didn't even send a message after leaving and only left a note.
Because of the delay on the road, it was already autumn when they returned to the old capital.
Pang Xiao led the army to the camp and Qin Yining didn't follow. Naturally, she led the people back to Qin's Mansion first to have a good rest and reorganize.
When Pang Xiao returned to the camp, he boldly and decisively marginalized all the people he knew that Qiu Feishan had planted in the army.
Qiu Feishan was taken away and the Qiu family made it clear that they were enemies with him. Naturally, the army couldn't continue to put Qiu Feishan's people in an important position, including Lu Zhang, who was the first to borrow money from Sitong, they were all sent to a camp to be monitored.
For this kind of change, the low-level soldiers who didn't like to use their brains naturally didn't care.
But this change couldn't escape the eyes of Magistrate Yang.
Qiu Feishan left with her people. Magistrate Yang didn't hear any news of Qiu Feishan for a long time. In fact, he was secretly worried about her. Later, he heard that Pang Xiao took 20,000 people out to train the soldiers. Magistrate Yang naturally had a lot of guesses and doubts.
Now that Pang Xiao's soldiers and horses came back, and the princess who went out also came back, but only Qiu Feishan was missing, Magistrate Yang was a little panicked.
Could it be that something had happened?
But Magistrate Yang had to stay where he was and couldn't go out. He could only contact Mr. Liu several times.
Mr. Liu was sent by Qiu Feishan to take charge. Naturally, he was anxious about the situation of his boss. Hearing Magistrate Yang's inquiry, he was more anxious to investigate.
Just when Magistrate Yang and Mr. Liu's attention fell on the whereabouts of Qiu Feishan, Pang Xiao had neatly removed those malignant tumors in the army.
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Magistrate Yang received an invitation from Pang Xiao. He held a banquet at home and invited Magistrate Yang and his family back. He wanted to take the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to have a small gathering.
Magistrate Yang looked at the invitation for a long time. The wife of the magistrate, Yuan, walked around Magistrate Yang several times, but she didn't see Magistrate Yang come to his senses. She couldn't help sneering, "What's wrong? Master lost a good 'niece' as if he lost his soul. If you don't feel at ease, just send people out to look for her."
Magistrate Yang came to his senses and frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, don't you know in your heart? Why don't I know that you have a niece like Miss Qiu in your family? Which of your relatives can raise such a beautiful daughter?
