Return of the Swallow

Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought of Zhou Meng's inexplicable death without any wounds.

Those who wanted to help the eldest princess to distinguish a few words could not help but shut up.

After this incident, they have determined that Zhou Meng's death must be divine punishment. If they offend the gods by speaking nonsense, they may end up with the same fate as Zhou Meng. It would be a death without warning and horrifying.

The eldest princess's face became more and more ugly.

She never imagined that the opportunity she had been looking forward to for many years was right in front of her, but things turned out like this.

She is the woman who has followed Zhou Meng for the longest time, and her son is also the one most qualified to inherit the throne of king! If anyone wants to stop her from being prosperous and wealthy in the rest of her life, she will fight to the death with him!

"You stupid people! You are so stupid! This witch is deceiving people and deliberately misleading you, but you all believe it! If you don't want to be eaten by her, you will not be left with any bones or dregs. I will... wuwu..."

The vicious words that the eldest princess had not spoken were silenced by the second princess.

The second princess gritted her teeth and said: "If you want to die, you can die by yourself, don't involve all of us!"

Some of the courtiers around me had already been annoyed by the eldest princess's vulgar words. Seeing that the second princess ordered someone to tie up the eldest princess by her arms and cover her mouth, they felt respect for the second princess in their hearts. A little more.

It's just that in the current situation, the goddess has been angered, and the people don't have the courage to directly rob the goddess of food. This matter cannot comply with public opinion. I am afraid that the people of Xiyue can eat them alive!

The ministers unanimously reached a consensus that the wishes of the people must be met. Otherwise, with so many people, even one spittle could drown them all!

Everyone turned their attention to the second princess.

Even Zhou Meng's sons were frightened and looked at the second princess, expecting her to come up with an idea.

The second princess pulled her two sons, and her hands gradually tightened involuntarily.

If it were in the past, if she had received so many people's attention, the second princess would definitely be happy.

But the situation was different now. She only felt that the eyes of these people had substance, like steel needles, which made her whole body feel cold and creepy.

However, the second princess is different from the first and third princesses in their recklessness.

She is thoughtful, comes from a scholarly family, has a better background than the other two, and is the best at sizing up situations.

Zhou Meng was dead, and regardless of whether it was a punishment from God or not, the people believed it, and so did the other side.

So even if she talks a lot now, she can't change people's minds in vain. If you want to survive and be able to integrate into the life of the group in the future, the only thing you can do now is to comply with public opinion!

The second princess whispered her thoughts to the courtiers and the other princes and ladies. Everyone felt that her analysis was reasonable and unanimously agreed.

As for the eldest princess, they were all tied up and gagged. The eldest princess's son and daughter were also tied up, for fear that they would cause trouble again.

Everyone left the palace wall and opened the palace door directly.

The wooden door creaked, making the people in the square quiet for a moment.

Everyone turned to look at the palace gate and saw the second princess leading the courtiers and Zhou Meng's children to file out. When they were ten steps away from Qin Yining, they knelt down and saluted.

The second princess put her forehead to the ground and said: "Goddess above, please accept our worship! We are all convinced by what the Goddess just said, and the prince has indeed passed away. He has no illness and no scars on his body. No." He did not commit suicide, but the gods took him away. The goddess was sent by the gods to benefit us Xiyue people. The eldest princess just slandered the goddess with her evil words. It should not be done. We have already punished those who are not convinced. I have been tied up, and I will obey the goddess’s orders from now on! Please consider the goddess’s arrangement and please continue to give food to the people of Xiyue as usual.”

Although the second princess's voice was not loud, the people around her could hear her very clearly. They were moved by what the second princess did,

I am very grateful to these people who opened the palace door and came out to request.

The common people kowtowed to Qin Yining again and said in a hurry: "Please have mercy on the goddess!"

Qin Yining expected that this would be the case, so he looked pitifully and said in a deep voice: "Well, since the people of Xiyue are sincere, how can I not obey the will of the body?"

As he spoke, he introduced Pang Xiao to everyone: "This is the real king of Xiyue. The meaning in the holy book is that I hope that I can marry the real king of Xiyue. Today, in the presence of everyone's testimony Next, we will hold a simple wedding, and after the wedding, we can distribute food to everyone according to the instructions of the holy book."

The people listened quietly to Qin Yining's words, and finally cheered happily.

There are even those children who are more out-tempered and clap their hands happily, as if they are celebrating the New Year.

The second princess kowtowed and said, "What the goddess said is true. The goddess followed the guidance of the gods, and the decision she made was naturally right. But we people didn't know before that Zhou Meng pretended to be the king. The princes were all fake from the beginning. We didn’t know the inside story, so we listened to Zhou Meng’s bewitchment and asked for mercy from the goddess.”

With that said, not only was she completely picked off, but those officials and all the people in Xiyue were also picked clean.

Such a statement was in the interest of the public, and thus won a lot of favor for the second princess.

The people all echoed this, saying that they were indeed deceived.

Things have developed exactly as planned by Pang Xiao. Qin Yining naturally refused to let things go wrong and said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. God's will is to bring the seeds to the people of Xiyue, which naturally also includes you."

The second princess was overjoyed when she heard this and kowtowed repeatedly.

It is impossible for her to become a princess any more. But there is nothing wrong with being able to get seeds, live a self-sufficient life, and live with your family.

Obviously, there are many people who think the same as the second princess.

Everyone thanked the goddess together.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao's wedding was simple and grand this time. They got married in the cheers of all the people in Xiyue, and then ordered people to distribute food and seeds. Everything went on in an orderly manner according to Pang Xiao's plan.

It will be three days until everything is over to ensure that all Xiyue people have grain seeds in their hands and have them registered.

Nowadays, the people of the Minuo tribe no longer have to stay in the camp. They can move around at will and receive warm greetings from Xiyue people when they meet on the street. Even the troops who had been ordered to surround them now had a particularly cordial attitude, and some even took the initiative to apologize.

Zhou Meng was already buried after a simple ceremony.

As for the eldest princess and others who were still unconvinced, Pang Xiao handed them over to the rest of Xiyue officials. Let them decide how to deal with it themselves. Anyway, his identity is embarrassing and he may be found faulty no matter what he does. It is better to leave everything to the Xiyue people to solve it internally.

In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the largest tent in the middle of the Mino tribe camp.

Lu Heng said: "Your Majesty, something has happened here. What are you going to do next?"

Uncle Arhan and others also looked over.

Pang Xiao smiled freely and said: "Actually, when I came out this time, I was indeed committing a crime against the wind. The Holy Emperor has not allowed me to leave the capital. The reason does not need to be elaborated and everyone knows it. However, I am worried that something will happen to Sister Yi. I came out secretly with my men. This incident angered the Holy One. When I came out, the Holy One had already announced to the world that I was condemned to be a traitor.

National crime. "

Pang Xiao's words made everyone frown.

Qin Yining's frown could kill a fly.

"How could this happen? Why did you just say something about such a big thing?"

Lu Heng even smacked his tongue and said: "Your Majesty... How much effort did the prince put in for the great Zhou Dynasty? It can be said that without the prince, there would be no Great Zhou Dynasty now. I don't know if the city in Northern Hebei can be attacked. ! Besides, the prince’s wife just killed the previous Tatar Khan and said that the prince was traitorous.

country? Where can the prince rebel? Could it be that you want to make people laugh out loud? "

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was filled with indignation.

Qin Yining was also very angry.

However, after the anger, there was understanding and helplessness.

High achievements shake the master, this is a difficult problem that is difficult to avoid in consolidating the honor of any dynasty or country in history.

She really doesn't want this kind of history to happen again to Pang Xiao, but the heavy wheels of history are rolling over, and who can escape?

Seeing Qin Yining frowning and remaining silent, Pang Xiao patted her shoulder comfortingly and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's not the first time I've been scolded. In the past, you always used me to stop children from crying at night. Do you have a reputation? I am not living a good life, and I don’t have a lot of meat. A real man has ambitions all over the world and doesn’t care about these false reputations."

"Is it honorable to stop a child from crying at night?" Qin Yining rolled his eyes at Pang Xiao speechlessly, but the anger and depression in his heart calmed down a lot.

Lu Heng had been observing carefully from the side and saw that Pang Xiao didn't pay attention to this matter at all, nor did he blame Qin Yining for his infamy. Instead, he looked down upon these false reputations.

Lu Heng seemed to admire him for being so open-minded and affectionate. Although he was considered a love rival, Lu Heng couldn't dislike Pang Xiao at all.

"Since this is the case, it may be very dangerous to go back." Lu Heng frowned and said: "The Holy One is suspicious and is particularly wary of you. Now you are wearing the treason mask again.

A big hat in the country, if he goes back like this, I am afraid that the next thing he will face is arrest and accountability by the court. Not to mention you, even your family may not be able to go. "

How come Pang Xiao doesn’t understand this?

But Pang Xiao had to go back, because his and Qin Yining's relatives were still in the capital. Now that Li Qitian didn't dare to act rashly, it didn't mean that he wouldn't get angry because of this in the future and vent his anger on Pang Xiao and Qin Yining's family members.

Neither of them is the kind of person who can base their happiness on the sacrifice of their family, so they must go back to Dazhou.
