Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were delayed at the local temple for a while. When they returned to the fu, the sky was already dark. The rain had not stopped for the past few days. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it would collapse at any time. In the evening, it was already as dark as night.
The two carefully avoided people and entered the fu through the side door.
Just as they returned to the room, Ji Yun said excitedly, "Princess Consort, someone just came. Guess who it is!"
Qin Yining saw how excited Ji Yun was and could not help but laugh, "Who made you so happy? Imperial Bodyguard Tang also did not go out. "
Pang Xiao had changed into a set of casual clothes. He was adjusting his collar as he walked out slowly. When he heard that, he chuckled. "Tang Xiu is a good girl. What do you think, Yuanyun?"
Ji Yun's face flushed red and she stomped her feet, "Princess Consort, you're too naughty. I'm talking about serious matters!"
"I'm also talking about serious matters with Wang Ye."
Seeing that Ji Yun's face was completely red, Qin Yining was worried that the girl was thin-skinned and would get angry if he continued to tease her. He could only say, "Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this first. Who did you say came?"
Ji Yun originally wanted to keep him in suspense, but she was worried that Qin Yining would continue to tease her. She quickly said, "Hall Leader Liao and Jing Zhe are back!"
"Really?!" Qin Yining's eyes widened in surprise. He clapped his hands and said, "So, Xiyue's matter has been settled?"
Pang Xiao also smiled and said, "It must be. Where are they now? Quickly invite them over. "
"Okay!" Ji Yun smiled and nodded, then quickly ran out.
Qin Yining's irritated mood because of Bian Ruohan suddenly brightened up. He shook Pang Xiao's hand and looked up at him, "Zhixi, do you think Father and the others are doing well? It should be, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Hall Leader Liao and Jing Zhe back. "
"They must be safe. Firstly, we have already made the most appropriate preparations. Secondly, don't you know Father-in-law's ability? I think all of Xiyue's people combined are not enough to contend with Father-in-law. With Father-in-law holding the fort, I'm the most assured. "
Qin Yining nodded happily, "Me too. I'm also assured with Father's protection. Moreover, Aunt Cao is skilled in martial arts...............................
Pang Xiao also nodded heavily.
As Qin Yining spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears rolled in her eyes. "I don't know how much taller Brother Zhao and Brother Han have grown. The next time they see me, they might not recognize me."
When Qin Yining cried, Pang Xiao's heart almost broke. He held her tightly in his arms and kept kissing her forehead and cheeks, "Be good, don't cry. Think about it. Father-in-law and grandmother are both here. Didn't your grandmother think of a way to let the children see the portraits? Don't worry, the children won't forget us. Moreover, even if their memories are not deep, they are still our children. They are related to us by blood. If we spend more time with them and accompany them day and night, they will be familiar with each other again very soon. "
Qin Yining nodded and wiped her tears on Pang Xiao's shoulder. She choked, "Every time I think about why I was separated from my family, I hate that I can't bite that person to death!"
If Li Qitian hadn't forced them, how could they have ended up like this? She and Pang Xiao had compromised time and time again, but they didn't get a peaceful life. She would never compromise again!
"Princess." Bing Tang's voice came from outside the door, "They have arrived at the Flower Hall."
Qin Yining hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Pang Xiao wrung a warm handkerchief and leaned over to carefully wipe the tears on her face. Then, he went to get the jasmine flower retting that she often used.
Qin Yining dug a little bit with her fingers and smiled at Pang Xiao with curved eyes.
Her eyes were slightly red and swollen from crying. When she smiled, it was more obvious. She looked so pitiful and cute that Pang Xiao hated that he couldn't shrink her and put her in his arms. He hated that he couldn't leave her even a step.
Pang Xiao touched her cheek with his big hand and smiled, "Let's go. Let's go to the front."
Qin Yining nodded and walked hand in hand with Pang Xiao through the corridor until they reached the Flower Hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw familiar faces. Liao Zhibing brought two members of the Qingtian Alliance. Jing Zhe, Young Man, Xiao Xue and Da Han were also there.
When they saw Qin Yining and Pang Xiao, they all came forward to salute them.
"Wang Ye, Princess."
"You may rise." Qin Yining and Pang Xiao came forward to support them and greeted them warmly.
Liao Zhibing smiled and said, "Alliance Master, fortunately, we didn't disappoint you. The matters of Xiyue have been arranged. You don't have to worry. Old Master Qin is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. Everything in Xiyue is now under Old Master Qin's control. The methods and routes of entering and leaving Xiyue have also been figured out. You really don't have to worry. "
"Yes, Princess." Jing Zhe also smiled and said, "Before we came, Concubine Cao told us to bring you a message. Everything is fine at home. Although Old Madam had a minor illness before, she is fine. As for Brother Zhao and Brother Han, they are the treasures of the whole family. Everything is fine. "
"Yes, yes, Princess, don't worry. Old Madam Zheng also asked someone to draw portraits of you and Wang Ye. Before Brother Zhao and Brother Han study all day long, they have to see the portraits first."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao both laughed. "Grandmother is really resourceful."
"Yes, even Old Master Qin praised Old Madam Zheng for her thoughtfulness." Young Man said, "Princess and Wang Ye didn't see it. Xiyue is now in good order. Our family members went there and integrated into the environment very quickly. Even Brother Zhao and Brother Han, when ordinary people hear that they are the children of the Goddess and the King, they are very respectful. Even when Old Madam takes them to walk on the street, ordinary people have to stop and salute when they see them. "
Qin Yining was amused. The people of Xiyue worshipped the Goddess. In the beginning, she was forced to be labeled as the Goddess. Unexpectedly, she could use the identity of the Goddess to protect her family. Wasn't this God's favor to her?
Qin Yining nodded repeatedly. "That's good. Everything is going well. Is there anything you need to do this time? "
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "It was Concubine Cao who told us to come out and protect you. Old Master Qin and Old Madam also think that it is very good. They said that you and Wang Ye will be in more danger outside. With us around, you don't have to hold back when you use people and can be trusted."
Liao Zhibing also smiled and said, "I also think so. Although the leader has Wang Ye's people around him, sometimes there is a shortage of people. With us around, Wang Ye doesn't have to worry about the Princess's safety. He can do his own things freely. When the Princess has something to do, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to find someone she can trust. "
Qin Yining smiled. "Concubine Cao is so considerate. If Xiyue is no longer in danger, you can come to my side. Naturally, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. "
Pang Xiao also said, "This is also good. You also know your Princess's personality. When she encounters something, she would rather take the risk and succeed. I am worried that she will take the risk and have no other way. With you around, I can rest assured that you can follow her."
Liao Zhibing, Jing Zhe, and the others laughed loudly. "The Princess is brave and courageous. She is willing to take the risk for Wang Ye because she doesn't want to miss the opportunity. But Wang Ye, don't worry. With us around, even if we have to risk our lives, we will not let the Princess be in danger."
Pang Xiao nodded and stood up respectfully to salute everyone. "Then I will have to trouble everyone."
Liao Zhibing, Jing Zhe, and the others were shocked. They hurriedly stood up to avoid Pang Xiao's salute and turned to salute. "Wang Ye, please don't make us feel embarrassed. It is our duty to be loyal to the Princess."
The two of them spoke for a while before Liao Zhibing said, "Alliance Master, there is actually one more thing."
"What is it?"
"When we left Xiyue, we sensed that the Tatan people were moving their troops in the desert. Because the enemy's defense was too tight and there were many dangers in the desert, we were not able to investigate in detail what the Tatan wanted to do. But looking at them, it seemed like they were about to fight a hard battle. "
When Qin Yining and Pang Xiao heard this, their faces instantly tensed.
The war between Da Zhou and the Tatan had lasted for so long. They could imagine how much effort Ji Zeyu had put in to quell the chaos in the north and return peace to the people.
Peace was not easy to come by. Si Qin had also tasted the bitterness. They all believed that the Tatan had lost the ability to continue harassing the north and that they could peacefully develop on their own.
But if the Tatan really secretly moved their troops, things would not be so simple.
Even if Qin Yining and Pang Xiao did not like Li Qitian's actions, they would not expect another war to break out. Once the Tatan and Da Zhou went to war, Da Zhou's tight treasury would drag down the entire war effort. In order to fight the war, the imperial court might have to increase all kinds of exorbitant taxes. There were already so many natural disasters, and now with the war, how would the people live?
"I understand. I'll get to the bottom of this. " Pang Xiao said seriously, "Thank you for your information. Otherwise, if we were unprepared and the Tatan moved their troops, the people at the border would be the ones to suffer."
Liao Zhibing said, "Wang Ye, don't be so polite. We just did what we should do."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I have already ordered people to prepare food and wine. Today, we must drink to our hearts' content."
Liao Zhibing, Jing Zhe, and the others naturally agreed.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao called Huzi, Tang Xiu, and the others. The group gathered in the reception pavilion to drink and chat.
At the same time, in the Lu family, Lu Heng sat at the head of the table with a gentle smile on his face as he looked at Lu Xiong who was kneeling on the ground. He twirled his fingers lightly and was obviously deep in thought.
Lu Xiong was extremely nervous and his whole body was trembling.
He had already told Lu Heng that the treasure was hidden in the stone factory, but her reaction was completely different from what he had expected. She didn't seem to be surprised, nor did she have the slightest interest in the treasure. She even suspected that the purpose of his visit was to harm people.
Lu Xiong regretted it. He should not have volunteered. He should have left this matter to Shi Fang.
