Qin Huining shook his head with a smile. "No, no, one who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune in the future. Even God couldn't take you away when you were a child. You will be safe in the future. In the future, you will be filial to father and mother. I will get married. "
Qin Yining burst out laughing at Qin Huining's words, but tears fell down like beads from a broken necklace.
Seeing Qin Yining and Qin Huining like this, Qin Huaiyuan was relieved. He wiped the tears on his face and said, "Although we are in trouble now. As long as the whole family can get together and work together, we will be able to get through it. Just like us in the past. "
"The reason why I'm saying all this today is not for anything else. After Xi Yue, we may never set foot on this land again. At that time, we'll only have each other left. So, we have to unite even more to survive better. Come on, Old Master Yao, Old Madam, let's toast and drink together. "
Yao Chenggu and Mrs. Ma were moved to tears by this scene. At this time, they naturally stood up.
After Yao Chenggu and Qin Huaiyuan drank this cup of wine, their hanging hearts were completely relieved.
Qin Huaiyuan's words stirred up everyone's emotions and made the Family Qin united. At the same time, he also expressed his views.
Although the Family Qin didn't like what the Yao Clan did, Qin Huaiyuan at least wanted to unite everyone. This was a safe signal for Yao Chenggu, which made him relax all his vigilance.
Today's reunion banquet was also a farewell banquet. The whole family gathered together, toasted each other, and confided in each other. Many small problems in the past were solved today.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were moved. At the same time, they had to admire Qin Huaiyuan's means. In the future, the in-laws would be more united. At Xiyue in the future, at least for a few years, there would not be a scattered situation.
A few days after the banquet, the family was surprisingly united. However, the Sun Clan had cried a few times with Qin Yining. She always thought that Qin Yining and Pang Xiao had something to do and would go later. She didn't expect that this time, it might be a farewell.
Qin Yining comforted the Sun Clan for a long time. Pang Xiao also repeatedly promised to protect Qin Yining. Later, Madam Zheng brought the women of the Sun Clan and rushed over. The Sun Clan's attention was then diverted.
Shengchang 7th year, 28th of winter.
Under Pang Xiao's arrangement, Qin Huaiyuan led all of the Family Qin, Sun Family, and Yao Family's relatives and servants to secretly leave the Qin Manor in batches. Under the appropriate arrangements, they left the docks on a junk ship, beginning the journey of the Family Qin to call the wind and summon the rain during the sunset.
However, Qin Yining couldn't even go to the docks to see them off.
She and Pang Xiao were too big of a target. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were watching them. With great difficulty, Pang Xiao used all kinds of methods to secretly send the family out in batches. She couldn't let her family be in danger again because of her reluctance.
However, even if Qin Yining wasn't disheartened enough to think that this separation would be a life and death separation, the pain of separation made her sullen for a few days.
Pang Xiao knew that Qin Yining wasn't happy. Other than attentively accompanying her, he had no other choice. Therefore, he went to the barracks to patrol during the day and tried his best to rush back as soon as possible in the afternoon. In any case, this made Qin Yining's mood much better.
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Master Zhong came to the Qin Manor early in the morning.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao just got up and rushed to the front hall without eating breakfast.
Master Zhong smiled and said, "Princess Consort, there's news from Huichuan County."
Qin Yining said in surprise, "So fast?"
"Yes. It's inconvenient for Hall Master Liao and Hall Master Qiao to come back, so they arranged for a trusted subordinate to rush over to deliver the news. "
"Where is this person?"
"Princess Consort, don't be anxious. I've brought him here. He's just outside the room."
Qin Yining's eyes lit up. He hurriedly ordered, "Quickly invite him in."
Ji Yun curtsied and quickly went out to invite the person.
Bing Tang brought Lian Xiaozhou to prepare tea and snacks.
On the day of Qin Huaiyuan's departure, these three people knelt in front of Qin Yining and refused to go to Xi Yue. Qiu Lu and Xian Yun also wanted to follow suit. However, Qin Yining entrusted the two children to them and they had no choice but to leave.
Now, all the servants in the manor had left. Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and Lian Xiaozhou had more things to do.
Not long after, Ji Yun led a young man with a medium build into the room. This young man was wearing a grayish-blue cloth jacket and a felt hat. He was dressed like a manservant. When he saw Qin Yining and Pang Xiao, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Alliance Master. Greetings, Wang Ye."
Pang Xiao smiled and waved his hand. "There's no need to be so polite."
Qin Yining also smiled and said, "Take a seat. We're all brothers and there are no outsiders. There's no need to be so formal."
"Yes. Thank you, Alliance Master. "The young man sat down next to Master Zhong.
Qin Yining first asked him to eat tea and snacks. The young man didn't stand on ceremony and finished two plates of snacks in a few bites. He then gulped down a large pot of hot tea.
Perhaps it was because of the silence in the room, but he also realized that his behavior was a bit too rude. He scratched his head and laughed. "Alliance Master, you must be joking."
"What are you talking about? This brother looks familiar. How should I address you?"
"My name is Meng Qin. I've always been following Hall Master Qiao. In the past, I even followed Alliance Master to escort Your Majesty back to the palace."
"No wonder I thought you looked so familiar." Qin Yining smiled and said, "Since we're all brothers, I won't beat around the bush. Meng Qin, what news did Hall Master Liao ask you to bring me?"
"Oh, right." Meng Qin sat up straight and said seriously, "It's like this. A few days ago, Guan Dahu and Liu Ban suddenly started contacting Hall Master Liao. Hall Master Liao and Hall Master Qiao felt that something was amiss, so they kept an eye on it. These two had followed Hall Master Liao's wife to die in the desert. How could they come back from the dead? We all felt that it was very strange.
"Hall Master Liao didn't trust the two of them at all. He directly rejected their proposal of 'discussing a grand plan'. However, Hall Master Liao and Hall Master Qiao had a trick up their sleeves. Our Qingtian Alliance didn't have any relationship with the two of them, but we still managed to get reliable information out of them.
"Guess what? It's the money that the incapable ruler of Dayan hid, and it's now in Huichuan County! No wonder that old guy wanted to become the county magistrate of Huichuan County! "
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining's hearts skipped a beat at the same time. However, they still looked indifferent and didn't show any abnormalities.
Qin Yining smiled and asked, "Why did the treasure go all the way to Huichuan County?"
"That's right! Hall Master Liao was also puzzled. Later, he spent a lot of effort to investigate and found out that Mrs. Liao had taken Guan Dahu and Liu Ban to hide the treasure. Guess how they hid it? Back then, Your Majesty wanted to build the imperial mausoleum. Coincidentally, the stone was quarried from the south. The place where Mrs. Liao hid the treasure happened to be nearby. She thought of a way and hid the treasure in the stone bricks of the imperial mausoleum. Just like that, the treasure was transported out without anyone knowing.
"Originally, they thought that the treasure was hidden in the stone. As long as they thought of a way to buy or steal the stone, or even rob it, they could easily avoid all the checkpoints. However, they didn't expect that Mrs. Liao and the two bastards would be caught with you.
"The two of them and Mrs. Liao were thrown into the desert. They didn't tell Hall Master Liao in detail how they survived. Anyway, Mrs. Liao was dead. Hall Master Liao actually analyzed it with Hall Master Qiao in private. They might have used Mrs. Liao as food in the desert …
"Later, the two bastards kept thinking of ways to go to Huichuan County to get the stone back. The problem was that the construction in Huichuan County had stopped, and the original county magistrate was also fired. Moreover, the stones looked the same on the outside, and they were all piled up together. If they didn't use any tricks, they wouldn't be able to tell which stone was the problem with the naked eye.
"Recently, they heard that the war had stopped, and Your Majesty wanted to continue building the imperial mausoleum.
The two of them came up with this idea. As long as they hired the officials in Huichuan County, they would have a way to find the stone that hid the treasure. Otherwise, if they were late, wouldn't it be easy for the treasure to be exposed? "
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were shocked.
If it weren't for the inside story, who would have thought that Mrs. Liao had used such a method to transport the treasure under Li Qitian's nose without anyone noticing?
"What did Hall Leader Liao say?" Qin Yining didn't say his own thoughts, but patiently asked Meng Qin.
Meng Qin smiled and said, "Hall Leader Liao said that the treasure couldn't be obtained by them. The two of them aren't good people, and of course, they couldn't be exposed to Your Majesty. Hall Leader Liao said that Your Majesty is so troublesome even though he doesn't have money. If he has money, who knows what he will do. He spent so much money to build the imperial mausoleum, and he didn't even think about what the people were eating. "
Meng Qin said, and her smile gradually faded.
He didn't forget the original intention of the Qingtian Alliance. Therefore, when he saw the emperor who didn't care if the people were hungry for his imperial mausoleum, he was also angry. However, because the person sitting in front of him was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he didn't complain.
Qin Yining knew the thoughts of most of the people in the alliance, so he didn't say much. After thanking Meng Qin, he asked Ji Yun to arrange a place for Meng Qin and ordered people to prepare food for her.
"You go rest first. I'll think about what to do about this matter. If there's anything else, I'll have to trouble you."
Meng Qin grinned, scratched the back of her head, and said shyly, "If there's anything, just tell me. Hall Leader Qiao and Hall Leader Liao said that I'll listen to you."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, and let Ji Yun take this honest young man to rest.
When they walked away, Master Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I didn't expect the treasure to be transported to Huichuan County in such a way. That Mrs. Liao can be considered a person. "
