Return of the Swallow

After learning such good news, Pang Xiao became even more eager to resolve the battle quickly. People around him noticed that his attack methods were becoming more and more radical, and every battle, large or small, revealed an unexpected aura and ruthlessness. . It seems that he was still a sheathed sword in the past, but now his sharp edge is revealed.

Moreover, both Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu discovered some details on the battlefield.

"Why do I feel that the discord between Si Qin and Lu Heng is getting deeper?" Pang Xiao asked in a low voice.

"You think so too?"

Ji Zeyu's words immediately convinced Pang Xiao of his guess.

"It shows that what we did before has worked."

"Yes. They are not the same race after all. They don't trust each other to begin with. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and any little thing may affect the outcome of the battle. It is impossible for them not to care about their own safety, so naturally they can no longer trust each other."

Pang Xiao smiled sarcastically and became more confident about this battle.

Looking at the new recruits who were being trained seriously on the school grounds, Pang Xiao sighed: "All of these new soldiers came here with deep hatred. We drove the Tatars all the way to this place. The places we passed were once the homes of these new soldiers."

"When the Tatars marched in, they were brutally killed wherever they passed. Who of the lucky ones who escaped didn't want to avenge their families?"

They fought with anger and determination of revenge, as if they were desperate for their lives, and their momentum was familiar to the Tatars. It seemed that the day to drive the Tatars out of the Zhou Dynasty was getting closer.

Seeing that Pang Xiao was very confident, Ji Zeyu thought of the current situation in Pang Xiao's family and whispered, "Have you given names to your son and daughter?"

"Already taken." When Pang Xiao mentioned this, even the expression on his face changed, "The son is called Brother Xuan, and the daughter is called Sister Yun. Pang Ruxuan and Pang Ruyun both have the same name as 'Ru' in this generation of the Pang family. Character."

Ji Zeyu smiled: "The name is very nice."

"The children will definitely look good." When he mentioned children, Pang Xiao became a little excited and talked more. "I have always preferred daughters. Daughters are well-behaved. It would be better if they looked like my mother. I still remember this to this day. Looking back at Sister Yi's appearance when I first met her in Liangcheng, she was still young at that time. At such a young age, she went around trying to find ways to treat her adoptive mother with a stern face. If she were my daughter, I would definitely not be willing to let her eat like this. It's such a pain. Back then, I had too much ability to help Sister Yi and didn't participate in her life when she was a child. But now I can take care of a child who looks like Sister Yi."

What Pang Xiao said was incoherent;

The joy and hope in his words made Ji Zeyu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"It's only thanks to your little lady that I can see you being so childish."

Pang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Despite the tense war ahead, Pang Xiao can always find fun and hope.

Qin Yining rested peacefully under the care of Bingtang and others.

"I don't know what the prince will name the young master and the young lady." Jii Yun sat sideways by the heated kang near the window, looking at Brother Zhao who was wrapped in the red magpie's swaddling clothes and looking around with his big eyes. He couldn't help but tap the other child's face gently with his finger.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "There is no rush, and I am not necessarily in a hurry to give the child a name. I was in the country before, and I couldn't find a name until the child got older. Isn't he always in good health?"

"Yes, I heard that nicknames are easy to make a living on, so many big families deliberately give their children nicknames. Things like door latch, bench, etc." Bingtang couldn't help laughing, "But our little lady is as beautiful as a flower. It’s not easy to choose something vulgar and ugly.”

Qin Yining was so amused by Bingtang's tangled look that she even forgot about the irritation caused by the inconvenience of washing her hair during confinement.

Seeing Qin Yining showing off her beauty, Bingtang coaxed: "Princess, hold on for a few more days. She will be seventeen in three days. When brother and sister are one month old, I will definitely serve you to take a bath and dress up. Not now." I asked you to wash your hair and not open the window, because I am afraid that you will get the root of the disease. If you get sick during confinement, you can only be cured during the next confinement. Does the princess still have to suffer on weekdays?"

"I know you are doing it for my own good." Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, "You are too cautious. I don't care, I still know what to do when."

The days passed quickly, and the children were one month old in the blink of an eye. Due to the tense situation at the moment, Qin Yining was worried that something might happen around her and she would not be able to protect her children. Therefore, she did not do anything about it during the third day or the full moon. She had to keep the children within her sight at all times for fear of causing any accidents. Let the children go their own way.

That day, Qin Yining had just ordered the wet nurse to bring the child, and Bingtang walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Princess, the prince's family letter has arrived!"

"Bring it to me quickly." Qin Yining stood up eagerly, took the letter and opened it to read, and said: "The prince may have already thought of the names of the children. Nowadays, sending letters is much slower than before, but call me Good to wait.”

"Because Your Majesty and the others are driving the Tatars further and further away." Ji Yun also received Tang Xiu's letter. After reading it, he walked in in a very good mood.

Qin Yining read the family letter carefully, not missing every word. Finally, he chewed on the two names "Ruxuan, Ruyun" and said with a smile: "It's so good, Ruzhao, Ruhan, Ruxuan, Ruyun, one by one." Look, it’s a family.”

The voice fell, and for a long time there was some worry: "If Brother Zhao and Brother Han know that they have younger brothers and sisters, will they think that I don't care about them?"

Ji Yun and Bingtang laughed loudly, "Princess, you are too careful. Don't worry, it will be fine. Brother Zhao and Brother Han are both grown up, and they are with their grandfather. How can they grow crooked?"

Thinking of his father's abilities, Qin Yining felt a little relieved.

"In a flash, Brother Zhao and Brother Han are almost four years old. But I can't be with them for most of the time." Qin Yining felt a little depressed. He walked to the crib and bent down to look at the sleeping twins. , "I don't know when these days of wandering will end. In the future, when Brother Xuan and Sister Yun grow up, I will learn a lesson."

She has experienced the most painful separation of flesh and blood in the world. The situation in the future should not be worse than now, right?

Just when Qin Yining was safely taking the children, Pang Xiao secretly arranged for people outside the house to notice something strange at the same time.

"It's really strange, why there seem to be more young men walking on Jingang Street than before. "

"Yes, haven't most people gone to follow the prince to fight the Tartars? But now there are so many new faces suddenly appearing, which really makes people feel strange."

"Do you want to tell Mr. Xie about this?"

"Of course it is necessary. The prince arranges to protect the princess secretly, and he does not necessarily have to hide it from the princess. Now that the situation is turbulent, safety is the most important thing."

Several Jinghu Guards discussed it and decided that one person should go to Xie Yue to report the matter. The rest continued to stay in their positions.

When Xie Yue learned about this, he didn't dare to hide it and immediately told Qin Yining.

Qin Yining held Sister Yun in her arms and rocked her gently. After hearing this, she paused and said hesitantly: "This matter is indeed not simple. These people are very likely to come here with a purpose. It is very likely that they are here for Ours.”

"Yes." Xie Yue looked serious and said: "Princess, don't worry, I have ordered people to set up tight defenses, and I will not ask anyone to plot against us. However, if we can contact Magistrate Chen at this time, we will be safer. You You and the prince have done so many things for the people. Zhixian Chen is a straightforward and friendly person. He will definitely think of what you and the prince have done and try his best to protect it. Zhixian Chen has people from the yamen in his hands, so it will be easier for him to do things."

"Mr. Xie is absolutely right." Qin Yining nodded in agreement, "Can I ask Mr. Xie to take a look at this matter?"

"This is natural, Princess, don't worry."

Xie Yue bowed and left.

Qin Yining, on the other hand, held Sister Yun in her arms and fell into a daze.

She was certain that these people who suddenly came to Jingang were coming for her. Her first suspicion was Li Qitian. Li Qitian is very jealous, and he has had a difficult time raising his children. Now that Pang Xiao has a pair of twins, Li Qitian still doesn't know how to be jealous, and maybe he might kill them for this.

Qin Yining was very worried, but she was not afraid of anything, but Brother Xuan and Sister Yun were still in their infancy, how could they endure the grinding and bumps?

Just as Qin Yining expected.

At this time, Li Qitian received the good news from the front line. Although he had a satisfied smile on his face, he was still holding back a fire in his heart.

"Thanks to Prince Zhongshun's bravery and fighting skills, the Tatars were finally driven out of the Tianyu Pass! From now on, the land of the Great Zhou is still the Great Zhou, and no foreign enemies can invade!"

"That's right. Thanks to the Holy One for knowing people and making good use of them!"

The courtiers rejoiced, and there was nothing more exciting than expelling foreign enemies. When these people praised Prince Zhongshun, they also did not forget to praise Li Qitian.

Just listening to the ministers praising Pang Xiao, Li Qitian showed his grace and found it difficult to refute.

He is just an emperor now, so he can no longer drive and conquer in person. Otherwise, if he leads the troops, he may not be much worse than Pang Xiao leading the troops. There were so many people, so the Tatars were naturally frightened to death and obediently hid from Tianyu Pass.

Well done, he gets all the credit, which is really annoying.

In the court, Li Qitian was filled with anger. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the imperial study, he received another letter from the spy.

"The Qin family actually gave birth to twins for Pang Xiao!" Li Qitian's eyes were as wide as Tongling, and he gritted his teeth and glared at the spies.

The spy lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"He deserves it!" Li Qitian was furious. He grabbed the Duan Inkstone on the table and smashed it into the corner. He also kicked over the high table standing in the corner with a bone-leg waist. The blue and white porcelain bottle on it fell to the ground. Crush!

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Xiong Jinshui and other internal guards did not care about the broken porcelain on the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

How can Li Qitian calm down? What he hates most is that he has become an emperor, but there are always people who feel that he is not as good as Pang Xiao.

Now there is no movement in the three palaces and six courtyards here, but Pang Xiao has a bunch of dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness. Who is he, worthy of dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness?

"Come here! Keep Jinggang under tight control for me! As long as I give an order, they will live and they will live, and they will die if they die!"
