"How can I bear the praise of the two gentlemen? It's just a woman's small insight. Just treat it as throwing a brick to attract jade." Qin Yining thought for a moment and then said, "What I mean is that when we enter the city, Wang Ye and I will still have to travel separately."
"Travel separately?" Pang Xiao didn't understand and asked, "How are we going to travel separately?"
Qin Yining said, "It's not that we are going to travel separately. I am going to take some people to enter the city first as the vanguard. We haven't been back for a long time. The road from the capital to the old capital is very long. It's inevitable that news won't reach here. Now that we are back, we don't know His Majesty's attitude, so we need to find out what's true. First, Wang Ye has been in the old capital for a long time. The mountains are high and the road is far away. He doesn't know the attitude of the court officials and common people towards Wang Ye. I also plan on building support for Wang Ye first. When the preparations are complete, it won't be too late for Wang Ye to enter the city. "
Hearing this, Xu Weizhi couldn't help stroking his long beard. He nodded and said, "Wang Fei is right. There is no harm in entering the city when we are fully prepared. "
Pang Xiao was a bit hesitant.
Since he didn't know Li Qitian's attitude towards him, even if he wanted to test him, he couldn't use Qin Yining as a pathfinder.
Qin Yining saw Pang Xiao's hesitation at a glance and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I will enter the capital with great fanfare. No one dares to touch me. They want to use me to deal with you, but they care more about their face."
Hearing this, Xie Yue also said, "Wang Ye, this old man feels that Wang Fei's words are reasonable."
Pang Xiao's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and the word 'Chuan' was squeezed out between his eyebrows.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I understand Wang Ye's worries. But you should understand that this is an important place in the capital. You can do whatever you want outside, but you can't do it here. If you do, it will be a stain on your life."
"Of course I understand. But that was when you were in the palace … "
Pang Xiao didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant. Back then, Qin Yining had almost been framed in the palace. Even now, he was still afraid. If it wasn't for Qin Yining's intelligence, he would have been too far away to do anything. In the end, the only thing he could do was collect her corpse.
Qin Yining laughed and said, "You're worrying too much. I'm not in the palace right now. "
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi both felt that Qin Yining's plan was feasible. However, they also knew that Pang Xiao valued Qin Yining very much. He would never allow Qin Yining to take risks for him. As aides, they were not in a position to persuade him. Everything had to be approved by Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao pondered for a long time and carefully considered the situation in the capital. Finally, he reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright, then bring more people."
"That's not necessary. We didn't bring many people back. I'll bring the servant girls and a few guards. "
"No, you can only leave a few people for me. You can bring the rest."
"This is the capital. Even if I bring a few dozen people with me, if something really happens, can they fight one against a hundred?"
Pang Xiao was speechless.
How many soldiers were there around the capital? Not to mention a few dozen people, even if there were a few hundred or a few thousand people, if Li Qitian really wanted to attack, they couldn't do anything.
That was why Pang Xiao often complained about his incompetence.
Seeing Pang Xiao's annoyance, Qin Yining wanted to persuade him, but it wasn't good to say too much in front of Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi. He only patted the back of Pang Xiao's hand to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I promise it'll be fine. Send people outside the city to pay attention to the movements in the city. When the time is right, you can appear. "
Pang Xiao pursed his lips. After a long time, he said, "It's my incompetence."
"What is Wang Ye saying? Wang Ye and I came here to fight side by side. If I wanted peace, wouldn't it be better for me to hide somewhere along the way? "
Xie Yue sighed and also persuaded, "Wang Fei is right. Wang Ye, Wang Fei is thinking for you. Don't disappoint her. "
"Yes, Wang Fei is righteous. I also admire her." Xu Weizhi also raised his hands.
Qin Yining quickly waved his hand, "Sirs, please don't be like this."
Mu Jinghu, who had been listening at the side, said, "Don't worry, I'll accompany Wang Fei into the city."
Pang Xiao looked at Mu Jinghu and nodded heavily, saying, "With you here, I can rest assured."
Mu Jinghu smiled and said, "I'll say the same thing. I can't promise anything else, but I can guarantee Wang Fei's life."
Pang Xiao nodded. Although he agreed to Qin Yining's suggestion, he was already prepared for the worst.
After the plan was set, Xie Yue asked, "When does Wang Fei plan to leave?"
"We'll leave tomorrow. The earlier we finish this, the better the Wang Residence can be reorganized."
When they left the capital, Qin Yining brought his family with him. They thought they would never come back. The servants in the residence had all been dismissed. The residence had been empty for so long. They didn't know what it was like.
After everyone finished discussing, Pang Xiao went to pick out 20 Jinghu Wei.
"Add Bing Tang and Ji Yun. Bring Mu Tou as well."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded, "Don't worry. I'll act according to the situation. There won't be any danger. "
What could Pang Xiao say? Just as Qin Yining said, she was his comrade who fought side by side. She wasn't someone who hid under his wings and wanted him to protect her.
The next morning, Qin Yining took the Jinghu Wei that Pang Xiao had chosen and left the country estate in a carriage.
Pang Xiao, Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, Huzi, and the remaining people temporarily stayed in the country estate. Pang Xiao made arrangements for them and ordered them to take turns to monitor the situation in the city and report it promptly. If anything happened, he would be able to arrive in time.
The ground in the north was still covered in snow during the first month. This year's snow was heavier than previous years. The road was very difficult to walk on. They could have arrived in two days if they were faster, but they walked for three days.
When they arrived at the city gates, it was already a quarter past nine on the 24th.
At this time, the city gates were already closed and there was a curfew in the city.
Qin Yining frowned and said, "We came back at the wrong time."
"That's right. It's all because the road is difficult to walk on. Wangfei, are we still going to set up camp in the wilderness? "
Qin Yining thought about it and said, "There's no need for that. Even though there is a curfew in the city, the curfew depends on the person. I'm a wangfei, so we should take advantage of my status for once. "
As he said this, he turned around and ordered the Jinghu Wei named Tang Xiu, "Xiao Tang, go to the sentry post and see what kind of person is on duty at the city gate today."
Hearing this, Tang Xiu immediately nodded and urged the horse towards the city gate.
Qin Yining sat in the carriage and looked at the situation in front of the city gate in the distance. Tang Xiu raised her head and said a few words to the people above. Then she urged the horse back and reported, "Wangfei, the person on duty at the city gate today is surnamed Gong. He was a soldier under Wang Ye for two years and has been promoted to the rank of commander."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Your family's Wang Ye really has a lot of connections. It's good. Take this and tell him that His Highness's family is on their way back and has been delayed for too long. It wasn't easy for them to reach the city gate, but it's already this time. Ask him if he can make an exception and open the city gate to let us in. "
As he said this, he handed Tang Xiu a round jade pendant with long tassels hanging from it. It was a sword tassel.
