Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining frowned in distress and scrubbed him carefully, fearing that he would catch a cold. She wiped away the water stains with a handkerchief and quickly took a clean middle coat from her bag and put it on his shoulders, and then looked away without looking at him. legs, "Go ahead and put on your clothes and sit down, I'll help you wipe your hair."

Pang Xiao lowered his head and glanced at his majestic place. He smiled evilly and stole a kiss on Qin Yining's red cheek. Then he quickly got dressed in a good mood.

Qin Yining soaked Pang Xiao's clothes into the bath water, and then took a dry towel to wipe his hair.

The slender fingertips scratched his scalp with moderate force, causing waves of shivers on Pang Xiao's body. He scooped her up into his arms, pressed her on his lap, and kissed her deeply.

Qin Yining gradually tightened her hand on the handkerchief, and her breath was taken away from her. After a while, she realized that something was wrong with someone, and she blushed and tried to avoid it.

Pang Xiao grabbed her slender waist, pressed her butt on his lap, hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck, and said hoarsely: "Don't move, Sister Yi, let me hold you." a while."

Qin Yining's heart was beating like a drum, her face was flushed, but her heart was so soft that she didn't dare to move.

After a while, Qin Yining saw that he had calmed down, and then he smiled and joked: "Dafu, be good, don't move around, your hair hasn't been dried yet. Be careful to catch the cold."

Pang Xiao chuckled at Qin Yining's words and deliberately rubbed her face with his stubble: "Bad girl, you can call me Dafu? You should call me good brother!"

Qin Yining snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Smelly."

Pang Xiao closed his eyes, feeling the numbness as she slowly scraped her scalp with the silver comb, and said lazily: "How can calling me good brother be considered stinky? I haven't asked you to call me Hao Dada yet."

This guy really dares to make any kind of joke!

Qin Yining grabbed his ears and twisted them, and found that his ears were a little soft.

I couldn't help but touch it again, it was true!

"I didn't expect you to be a rake?"

"Yes, did you just know that? I am henpecked and obsessed with wives, and now everyone in the world knows it!"

Pang Xiao answered confidently, which made Qin Yining extremely happy.

When Pang Xiao used a knife to shave himself in front of Qin Yining's mirror, Qin Yining carefully washed his clothes for him.

"Why don't you, Your Majesty, get so angry that you just left the capital like this? Have you made arrangements at home?"

Pang Xiao looked at his chin in the mirror, rubbed it twice with his fingers, and said: "Don't worry, I will leave my grandpa, grandma, and mother to take care of my father-in-law. When I came out, A-Lan also promised to take care of me. , everything is fine. But because of your disappearance, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are very anxious, especially your mother-in-law. She has cried one after another. The old lady in your house has acted like a monster several times, and she plans to give your eighth sister to me. As a concubine, I pushed her back on the spot. If my mother-in-law knew about this, she might cause trouble with the old lady."

When thinking about things at home, Qin Yining also felt a little melancholy and worried.

However, because his father is a very honest man, Qin Yining is not too worried. His father is resourceful and if he wants to protect his mother and family with all his heart, he should be able to do it.

But Pang Xiao mentioned Ji Zeyu...

"Consort Ji is very loyal to you."

"Yes." Pang Xiao finished shaving and tidying up, then rolled up his sleeves and came to the barrel, pulling Qin Yining away, "Don't wash your hands carefully."

His big hands were long and strong, and he could grab the clothes and wash them easily.

When Qin Yining saw this, he didn't compete with him for work. He sat down and held his face in his hands and said, "Do you believe that the prince-in-law is out of season?"

Pang Xiao said without raising his head: "I trust you, don't worry, I'm pretty accurate in judging people. We sometimes fight, go against each other, and even make some basic calculations that won't hurt each other. Those are just some On the surface, we have a tacit understanding. I believe in him on some big things."

Qin Yining nodded when he heard this.

She naturally trusted Pang Xiao's judgment.

But what she didn't say was that although Ji Zeyu was loyal to Pang Xiao, he was full of hostility towards her.

She could tell that Ji Zeyu didn't like her very much, and he didn't agree with Pang Xiao marrying her.

But there is no need to say these words, which will cause a rift between Pang Xiao and his friends.

Not long after, the clothes were washed, and Pang Xiao found a place to dry them casually. Holding a basin in one hand and a bucket in the other, she asked Qin Yining to help her lift the curtain and go out to pour water.

Qin Yining tried to help carry water but was unable to help. She couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Pang Xiao walking away easily carrying the basin and bucket.

At this time, smoke was rising in the camp.

Lu Heng came over with a smile and said: "The porridge has been cooked, but there are only some pickles and bean paste sent by the Xiyue tribe before, and there are no other vegetables."

Pang Xiao smiled heartily and said, "This is already good. It's much better than eating hard pancakes in the desert."

The Jinghu Guards had also tidied up, and now they were all refreshed. They all laughed when they heard what Pang Xiao said.

Hu Zi was even more lively and laughed loudly: "Isn't it? The pancake is so hard that it can make your teeth pop out. When you come out of the desert, you just want to eat some soup and water. It's perfect for eating porridge!"

Lu Heng invited everyone to sit down next to the big steaming iron pot. Each person was given a coarse pottery bowl, filled with white steam rising soft and fragrant brown rice porridge, and then he took the pickle bowl and turned it around. I shared some pickles and a chopstick of bean paste.

More than fifty men were holding pottery bowls and eating Xilihulu in full swing. Pang Xiao ate two large bowls in one go and asked for water to rinse his mouth.

Qin Yining formally introduced Uncle Arhan, Harbala and Chaganbala to Pang Xiao.

"If it hadn't been for the help of brothers Halbala and Chaganbala to hide us, I'm afraid we would have been captured at that time. And thanks to the Minoan Ministry for taking me in to recuperate, otherwise I don't know if I would have been able to persevere. Come down."

When Qin Yining said that Anari actually asked the guards around him to do violence to Qin Yining, Pang Xiao was so angry that veins popped out on his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "Anari deserves to die!"

Lu Heng continued: "Because the chief of the Minuo tribe and some leading tribesmen were taken to the hunting ground by Anari and fed to wolves, the two brothers Halbala and Chaganbala swore that whoever killed Anari would Who is the clan leader of the Mino tribe. The princess and I happened to catch up and were recognized as the clan leader."

Uncle Arhan understood Lu Heng's words and explained to the two brothers in Tatar in a low voice. Brother Harbala nodded and said in Tatar: "That's right. The patriarch is also very responsible for us, and we are all gratitude."

Pang Xiao saw that Lu Heng had reservations in his words. He originally suspected whether there was another hidden reason for Anari's death, so he did not ask about it in front of the Minuo tribe. Instead, Tatar and Hal Brother Bala said: "We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite. I would also like to thank you for taking care of my wife!"

Seeing that Pang Xiao could speak Tatar, Qin Yining's eyes widened in surprise, but Uncle Arhan and the two brothers were very happy. They felt that their language and nation were respected, and they chatted lively with Pang Xiao.

Qin Yining couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. It seemed that she was the stupidest. After being in contact with the Tatars for so long, she only learned a few simple daily expressions.

Everyone told Pang Xiao in detail how they intercepted grain and grass along the way, how they fought guerrillas with the Tatar pursuers, how they entered the desert in no man's land, and how they temporarily settled in Xiyue. It explains the local customs and customs of Xiyue and the situation of Xiyue County Prince.

Pang Xiao listened very carefully, and finally frowned and said: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. Although these people are not strong in combat, they are very thirsty for food. If our people only fight against Xiyue's soldiers, then We have a sure chance of victory, but if everyone in Xiyue rushes over, things will be difficult to handle. So for the current plan, it is best for us to avoid taking action against them and not to become enemies with everyone in Xiyue."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement: "The prince said yes. But in the situation just now, your group has disrupted the wedding scene and forced Prince Xiyue to close the palace door. Now we are calm for the time being, because of Xiyue People who have not experienced war for a long time are already confused now, but when they get back to their senses and mobilize the army, things will not be so easy to handle."

Pang Xiao nodded and said: "I think so too. But I have a way to solve this problem without losing any soldiers. It's just a bit shameless. "

Qin Yining asked curiously: "What's the method? Tell me about it?"

Pang Xiao smiled, lowered his voice and explained the method in Dazhou dialect and Tatar language.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Lu Heng smiled and said: "He is indeed the God of War, the Prince of War who scares the enemy with his cunning tactics. Lu really admires him."

"Brother Lu, are you laughing at me? This method is not an honest method." Pang Xiao smiled heartily.

Lu Heng said: "Although the prince's method is cunning, it can minimize the harm to both parties. It is the most merciful method. I think it is feasible."

Pang Xiao laughed and asked Qin Yining, "Sister Yi, what do you think?"

Qin Yining nodded and said, "I also think this method is feasible."

Uncle Arhan, Chaganbala and Harbala all smiled and nodded.

Pang Xiao then said: "Okay, then Sister Yi will ask Guard Cao for help. This kind of thing is best done by professionals. Let's make other preparations."

"good!"

Everyone dispersed.

Soon, before dark, the Jinghu Guards went out en masse and scattered the leaflets they had written in a hurry throughout the streets and alleys.

Because the words are similar, even if not everyone in Xiyue is literate, everyone is still curious when they see the man in black suddenly appearing and scattering flyers.

Moreover, those men in black gathered in the camp of the Goddess tribe and did not come out to cause trouble, and the people became more courageous.

Some people dared to go out and walk around without any accidents. This puts everyone at ease.

The people of Xiyue began to go from house to house to discuss the contents of the flyers.

"Tomorrow at noon, the wedding of the Goddess and the King of Xiyue will be held on the high platform of the square. After the wedding, grain seeds will be distributed to all the people of Xiyue. The people are also invited to come and be witnesses."
