Return of the Swallow

"I understand your concerns. But you are sick, but you cannot rest well because of me. Even you are sick because you followed me out to endure hardships. I feel very uncomfortable."

Pang Xiao held Qin Yining's hand and could only see her abnormally flushed cheeks due to low fever, the sweat on her forehead, and her white lips.

Qin Yining smiled and shook his head, holding his rough big hand and shaking it, "Why do you think so? You and I are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one. No matter what you do, I will be with you."

"Sister Yi..."

"Don't you like me accompanying you?"

"I like it, of course I do." Pang Xiao's voice was low and gentle, revealing his deep love for her.

Qin Yining smiled brightly and said: "That's okay. I also like to accompany you. Isn't that enough? What's more, how can people not get sick if they eat whole grains? If I didn't follow you out, wouldn't I get sick at home? Let me tell you, don’t you know nothing? Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean you haven’t been sick.”

This is the truth, but there is a sense of guilt in Pang Xiao's heart for not being able to protect the one he loves.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled and said: "Whatever you say is right."

Qin Yining gave him a look.

"What do you mean, whatever I say is right? What I said is right. Your statement seems like I'm cheating."

Pang Xiao fell in love with her delicate appearance, especially when she was ill. She showed a bit of naughtiness in her weakness. When she spoke to him, her voice was delicate and soft, with a hint of hoarseness, which made her sound like a coquettish girl.

Pang Xiao loved Qin Yining to the core. He leaned over and held her tightly in his arms, rubbing his cheek against hers. The warm and smooth touch made him reluctant to let go.

"Sister Yi, I like you so much. You are so fragrant and soft. I just want to stay with you like this every day, even if I don't do anything."

Qin Yining laughed when he heard this, "So now you understand why there are some kings in history who never came to court again, right?"

Pang Xiao buried his head in her neck, smiled and nodded, and the heat of his breath sprayed on her body.

Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but place a cherished kiss on Pang Xiao's forehead.

Pang Xiao had a keen sense and immediately noticed her kiss. He couldn't help but place a gentle kiss on her neck.

Pang Xiao originally wanted Qin Yining to rest more, but Qin Yining insisted that the disaster relief work could not be delayed any longer. Pang Xiao also knew the seriousness of the matter. After all, there were so many pairs of eyes watching around him. If he could not obey the order immediately, the news came to In Li Qitian's ears, he was afraid that the couple would be accused of delaying disaster relief. So the originally delayed disaster relief was no longer his fault, but it became his fault.

Preparations were quickly made and the team set off early the next morning.

Qin Yining had a severe fever at night, but it only subsided in the early morning. She fell asleep after getting in the carriage.

Pang Xiao was not in the mood to ride with Long Xiang's troops outside. He just frowned worriedly and sat against the carriage in the carriage, holding half of Qin Yining's body in his arms. It seemed that this would save her some space in the carriage. of shaking and bumping.

Bingtang and Jiyun were both sitting near the car door.

Seeing how worried Pang Xiao was, Bingtang couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, the princess is fine. It's just some toxins on the mosquitoes that caused the wound to become infected and inflamed. The princess will be fine in two days."

Pang Xiao knew Bingtang's kindness, raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded.

In fact, they --\u003e\u003e

All misunderstood.

He would be sad, worried and distressed because Qin Yining was sick, and it had nothing to do with how sick Qin Yining was. Even if Qin Yining was pricked by a needle while mending clothes for him, he would still have such emotions because it was because of him.

He welcomed Qin Yining, hoping to let her live a carefree life, but in the end it was him who made her suffer.

This is a kind of helpless frustration that is worse than self-blame.

Bingtang and Jiyun didn't know what Pang Xiao was thinking, but seeing Pang Xiao's frown, they didn't say much. They followed Qin Yining sincerely, so when they saw Pang Xiao caring about Qin Yining like this, they were sincerely happy for their master.

The convoy moved forward, and the closer it got to the old capital of Dayan, the more desolate everything around it became.

The men of the Longxiang Army and the Jinghu Guards around Pang Xiao didn't think so, but the four Jingzhe people who followed Qin Yining, as well as Jiyun and Bingtang, all lived with Qin Yining in the old capital and experienced that great disaster. of.

Although the earth dragon has turned around now, the closer we get to the old capital, the worse the road conditions are. Gradually there are more and more landslides, and faults or ravines often appear on the ground, making it difficult for the carriage to move forward.

The original river now exposed its dry river bed, and a hole opened in the river bed, which was the main culprit that continuously sucked in the river water.

The originally lush woods now became swaying and swaying.

Qin Yining finally felt better the next day and no longer had a fever, but he didn't have much strength.

So she had been sitting in the carriage, raising the curtains and watching everything.

The group of people riding forward outside now have a truly intuitive understanding of the tragic situation caused by the earth dragon turning over.

The convoy went around a boulder that was as big as half a house, and then came to a corner on the mountain road entering the capital city.

From here, you can overlook the buildings and houses of the entire old capital.

I saw that in Ruoda's city, the houses collapsed and the palaces collapsed. It looked like overturned rice pudding, mixed into a mess.

The group of them could understand the miserable current situation of the people there without even getting close.

This is not a famine, but the court has no money to sell grain, and even if the people in the city have money, they cannot transport grain because of the blocked roads, and there is no place to buy grain.

What's more, everyone has to work together to dig out the people buried under the rubble every day.

In the northwest and southeast corners of the capital, white smoke has been rising from a distance.

Bingtang was a little curious, "What do those two places do? There weren't any workshops there when we left."

Qin Yining shook his head when he heard this, and said in a difficult voice: "Maybe it's a corpse burning pit."

When Bingtang heard this, all her doubts were blocked by this shocking answer.

For the remains of corpses dug out from the ruins, no other solution could be thought of except incineration to reduce the occurrence of plague infection.

The closer we get to the capital, the harder the road becomes.

Qin Yining simply got off the carriage and walked, but Pang Xiao was not willing to put her through such hard work, so he simply carried her on his back.

Soon, a group of people arrived in front of the city gate.

After watching the Earth Dragon turn over, the surface of the originally solid city wall was so shaken that the wall skin fell off and several cracks appeared.

Looking inside through the city gate hole, you can see a piece of ruins.
