Return of the Swallow

Li Qitian never expected that Pang Xiao would dare to shout like this with him on the spot.

He is the emperor, the most powerful person in the world, and the world belongs to him! Pang Xiao is just a minister, but he dares to speak like this in front of him. Could it be that he still wants to rebel?

Li Qitian only felt that his face had been lost, and he immediately pointed at Pang Xiao and angrily shouted: "Do you know who you are talking to! Do you know who you are accusing! How can I still send someone to kidnap your wife!"

Pang Xiao endured and endured it before he vented his anger by killing the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty." Pang Xiao cupped his hands. His muscles that were wetted by rain and muddy water moved smoothly, and his wheat-colored skin was covered with large and small scars. These are the traces left by many years of war, which are enough to make people feel sad. Those present were in awe.

His voice was not as sharp as Li Qitian's, but he spoke plainly and straightforwardly: "Zhou Jing's companions endured hardships in the disaster area, starved all day long in such a harsh environment, and had to worry about the suffering of the people. Although she She is a female generation, but because she has a kind heart that cares about the people and wants to do something to help the people, she never complains in front of her ministers.

"Seeing that the people in the disaster area had no food or medicinal materials, she took the initiative to sell her dowry for money to buy food for the people. She also transported all the food from the farm under her name to the porridge shed without charging any silver.

"It can be said that because of her help, I have alleviated a lot of pressure on rice relief and saved many people from starving to death. This is not to show off her merits. What she has done, Magistrate Gong knew about it, Magistrate Li knew about it, and the people in the old capital and Yang County all knew about it.

"She herself was sick, but she still couldn't let go of the disaster area and refused to leave. It was Chen Fei who forced her to return to the capital to recuperate. She is weak, unlike Chen who is a rough man. Her skin is thick and thick and she can withstand being beaten. She is delicate and delicate. How can a woman withstand the hunger and lack of medical treatment in the disaster area?

"But I was wrong. I was really wrong. If I knew that when she came here, Long Xiang's army would kidnap her and cause her to be buried here, I would rather let her get sick next to me. I lost my life. I fought in the world for the Holy Sage and served as the Holy Sage's sharp sword. Many outsiders said that I was a good man.

"But I, a good man like you, didn't even protect my wife."

Pang Xiao lowered his head, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears, which fell from his disheveled hair, slid down his strong and handsome face, and dripped from his chin onto his strong chest.

His words aroused the compassion of everyone present.

A tough guy with great military exploits, but he couldn't protect his delicate newlywed wife.

Buried in this cave is clearly the Long Xiang army arranged by Li Qitian to search for treasures. If the experience of Princess Zhongshun has nothing to do with the Holy One, who would believe it?

When Li Qitian heard this, the corners of his lips twitched in anger, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Who is Pang Xiao showing this affectionate and unrepentant look to? If you really cared about Qin's life and death, how could you have robbed and made things difficult for Qin in the first place?

Li Qitian was very suspicious that Pang Xiao was involved in the loss of the treasure and deliberately sent Qin Yining to die in order to win the sympathy of others and cover up the dirty nature of his actions?

"You don't have to be so sad." Li Qitian said solemnly, "I will not hold you responsible at this time. Everything will focus on digging first. We haven't dug out everything yet. We will get it clearer here. Let's discuss this matter again. Late."

"By what Your Majesty said, do you mean that I have arranged for a woman's family to come out to rob the treasure?"

Li Qitian's face darkened.

Indeed, no man would leave such an important matter to a woman. Li Qitian knew that Qin Yining was extremely smart and was different from ordinary boudoir women--\u003e\u003e

It's different, but everyone present doesn't know it.

He just pretended to be tolerant, but in fact he was settling the scores after the fall, but it seemed that he was too cunning and harsh, and in front of so many Long Xiangjun, it was too low-end.

"That's all, I pity you for losing the princess and feeling depressed, so I won't care about your inappropriate words. But you should pay more attention." Li Qitian put one hand behind his back and pointed at Pang Xiao with the other.

Pang Xiao was not in the mood to argue with Li Qitian now, and rationally he shouldn't argue with Li Qitian in front of others, so he bowed his hands and went back to the excavation site.

The soft soil under the cave collapsed was dug up little by little, and the bodies of the deceased of the Longxiang Army and the Blue Sky Alliance were also revealed little by little.

What was finally revealed were several boxes, with silver vaguely visible on them.

Li Qitian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered people to take out the silver and count it. However, Pang Xiao found a hole on the cave wall not far behind the box, and he could vaguely hear the dripping sound of water inside.

Pang Xiao hurriedly leaned forward to take a look, then turned around and told Hu Zi, "Bring a lamp quickly!"

Huzi hurriedly raised his head and shouted to the people on the ground about the lantern, then took the lantern and handed it to Pang Xiao who was squatting in the pit.

Pang Xiao put the lamp into the hole again, "Is there anyone there? Sister Yi?"

In the cave, a faint rustling sound could be heard, and then a weak female voice said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Is it Your Majesty?"

Pang Xiao was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "It's me, you're Bingtang? Where's the princess? Come out quickly, who else is in there?"

Bingtang was so angry that he said, "My leg is broken and I can't get out. Jiyun is also here, injured."

Pang Xiao was very anxious when he saw this, and could not say more, so he and Huzi rescued Bingtang and Jiyun one after another.

Ji Yun had stab wounds on his body and had lost too much blood and fell into a coma.

One of Bingtang's legs may have a broken bone, and her face turned pale as it hurt whenever she moved.

At this time, Li Qitian also heard that he had found a living person, so he put his hands behind his hands and came closer to take a look.

Pang Xiao grabbed one of Bingtang's arms and asked, "Where is the princess? Where is the princess?"

Bingtang's tears immediately flowed down, "I, I don't know. Someone was intercepting and killing me at that time. The princess hid me behind the box and asked me to find a way to escape. I kept hiding. I saw the princess being killed. A man wearing the uniform of the Longxiang Army slashed with a knife, leaving a big gash on his shoulder and back, which caused a lot of blood. At that time, there was a scuffle in the cave."

At this point, Bingtang looked at Li Qitian beside him and turned around: "We were walking well with the princess, but we happened to encounter robbers. Those people even dressed up as Long Xiangjun and kidnapped the princess. , the guards around the princess vowed to resist to the death, but they are outnumbered. At this moment, the princess does not know whether she is dead or alive..."

After hearing Bingtang say that Qin Yining was injured and bleeding a lot, Pang Xiao was already panic-stricken.

He is no longer in the mood to think about whether what Bingtang said about the scene is true or false, because he only has one thought in his mind now, and that is whether Qin Yining is alive or dead. She asked Bingtang to hide, but she didn't. Bingtang and Jiyun were always inseparable from Qin Yining. They both hid in the small ventilated holes. Why didn't they see Qin Yining? "

Was Qin Yining killed or buried here?

Thinking of this, Pang Xiao had no other thoughts. He jumped down anxiously and began to carry and dig.

Huzi arranged for people to arrange for Bingtang and Jiyun to find ways to get medicine for them.
