Return of the Swallow

"It's ridiculous!"

Qin Yining gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Qingyang Hou Huatianjiudi has a skill, and he didn't go to battle to kill the enemy in the early years. How can he command a hundred thousand tiger and ben army?"

Zhou Dayong, Hou of Qingyang, is the youngest brother of the Empress Dowager. Li Qitian's uncle.

The queen mother is taking advantage of the emperor being trapped in the underground palace, so she wants to control the government to support his relatives!

The Huben Army was trained by Pang Xiao, and I don't know how much effort was wasted. Qin Yining felt at peace when he was handed over to Ji Zeyu, a god of war who was as famous as Pang Xiao. But how could Qin Yining be reconciled to handing it over to someone like Qingyanghou?

"It's really absurd. Now that the external and internal troubles have not been resolved, the Empress Dowager first thinks about seizing power and supporting her natal family. It's too abominable to be like a rooster in the morning. Where will she put the people of the country?"

"Princess, don't be angry." Bingtang persuaded, "We don't care about these things, so don't get tired of them."

"That's right." Jing Zhe also said, "Master said, let the princess know the news, so that you can have a good grasp of the situation in the court, so that you won't be caught off guard when something happens suddenly. But the master also said that you should put your body first, The little heir in your womb is the most important thing. The master also said that everything is fine at home, and he will take care of the overall situation, so you don't have to worry about it."

Qin Yining took several deep breaths before calming down, nodded and said: "I'm fine. I also know that these words can only be complained in my heart. You go back and tell my father that everything is fine and the situation on the mountain is still stable. Father don't worry."

"Yes." Jing Zhe saluted, then said goodbye and went down the mountain.

Qin Yining stood at the same spot and looked at the scenery for a while, took several deep breaths to suppress the impatience in his heart, and then returned to the excavation site with the two maidservants.

At this time, the eunuch Li Weiliang, who had been thwarted by Ji Zeyu twice in a row, was reading the Queen Mother's edict, and looked at Ji Zeyu with a half-smile, "Mr. Ji, can't you think of it?"

Ji Zeyu had just taken a nap, his eyes were even redder, his handsome and unparalleled face was still expressionless, without the slightest anger, unwillingness and fear after being dismissed. He just looked at Li Weiliang indifferently.

"Eunuch Li is joking. I am a courtier, and I can only obey orders. Since the Queen Mother and the ministers think that Qingyanghou is worthy of great use, it is natural for him to be the commander of the Huben Army. Here, Eunuch Li, take it back."

After speaking, he happily took out two kits from his bosom and handed them directly to Li Weiliang.

Li Weiliang took the kit with both hands and put it in his arms,

He also patted his chest proudly, leaned close to Ji Zeyu and lowered his voice: "Ji concubine humiliated our family several times, and our family also let you know that it is not that being the commander of the Huben Army can do whatever you want. The empress dowager trusts you a lot, if you disrespect our family, you are disrespecting the empress dowager, if the eldest princess sees you not, you are a concubine who is not valued, what is the difference between you and a concubine who is not favored by a rich family?"

Ji Zeyu quietly listened to Li Weiliang finished speaking, and sneered: "Is it finished?"

"It's over." Li Weiliang also sneered back.

Ji Zeyu raised his chin to the entourage around him, and said: "Tie up Eunuch Li. You follow the eunuchs into the palace and tell the Queen Mother what Eunuch Li said. If you want a tiger talisman and a token, this Marquis will give it to you." , that is also because the queen mother's decision is for the court and the people. But Li Gonggong said that the queen mother was a tool he used to take revenge on the Marquis. He is contemptuous of the queen mother, where is the queen mother? Hou suggested that the Empress Dowager think it over before using it."

While speaking, the attendant had already bet Li Weiliang's mouth with a rag, and handed over the two kits he had kicked in his arms to another servant who came with Li Weiliang.

Li Weiliang couldn't struggle with the hemp rope as thick as his fingers, wanted to curse but couldn't, so he was escorted away by the servant and Ji Zeyu's entourage.

Ji Zeyu watched the group go down the mountain with a sullen face, his eyes gradually became empty, and finally he looked up at the gloomy sky, and said, "It's going to rain."

Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu's desolate back, and felt uncomfortable. It was a feeling of desolation as a hero's end. This kind of feeling was too unlucky, which made Qin Yining feel very uncomfortable.

She wanted to persuade her, but she was not familiar with Ji Zeyu. There is no position to speak. If Pang Xiao was here at this time, Pang Xiao would definitely be able to explain him a few words.

Qin Yining turned around and looked at the chaotic scene of stones and soil at the excavation site, and frowned tightly again.

Tianjizi counted without omissions, and played a good game of chess, counting all the people standing on the top of the tower in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and almost ended the important officials in the court. She did everything she could to get things done for the Tartars.

But in Tianjizi's calculation, isn't Pang Xiao the Ziwei Emperor Star?

Tianjizi believed in his own calculation so much, why did he help a "greedy wolf star" to murder Emperor Ziwei? Isn't this a slap in the face?

Qin Yining can't figure out what Tianjizi is thinking now, but one thing is certain, Tianjizi is no longer an enemy or friend, but has clearly become her enemy.

A drop of rain fell on the tip of Qin Yining's nose, and the cool feeling brought her back from her contemplation. The drizzle fell, and the sky became dark and heavy. A light rain turned into a heavy rain in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yining was escorted into the carriage to shelter from the rain.

However, Ji Zeyu arranged for them to rest in shifts as usual, light a fire and cook food, while he himself led people into the tunnel excavation again in the rain.

Both Bingtang and Jiyun were drenched, and Qin Yining's clothes were also slightly damp, making them uncomfortable to wear.

Bingtang said: "Princess, don't hold back anymore. The rain is so heavy, if you catch a cold while wearing wet clothes, it's not a joke. You should listen to a piece of advice, let's go back to the house, even if you want to go up the mountain, you have to Pick a sunny day and come back.”

Qin Yining also knew that her body would definitely not be able to withstand a heavy rain. After three days of precipitation, her emotions were not as excited as before. She cared about Pang Xiao, and also felt sorry for the situation that Pang Xiao might encounter in the underground palace, and even just thinking about it would make her feel cold and her hands and feet would become cold.

But she also knew that if something happened to Pang Xiao, what he hoped most was that she could support the hall, take good care of her parents, and raise their children well.

Although it is easy to die, you can solve it by finding a strong rope and stretching your neck in, but it is even more difficult to survive and take responsibility. But after Qin Yining was impulsive, he also knew that he couldn't be so selfish.

She didn't want to disappoint Pang Xiao.

Qin Yining closed her eyes. The eyeballs were sour, and the hot tears were hidden in the eyes, but there was a drop of rainwater falling on the forehead and sliding down the corner of the eye, just like a tear.

Bingtang and Jiyunkan were so heartbroken that they almost cried into each other's arms.

They understood Qin Yining's pain. But they can't watch Qin Yining humiliate themselves.

After a while, the rain subsided a little, Ji Yun got out of the car and told Ji Zeyu about Qin Yining's going back home.

After hearing this, Ji Zeyu followed Jiyun to the carriage, with a relaxed expression on his face.

In the carriage, Qin Yining heard the sound of footsteps and conversations outside, so he raised the curtain, and saw Ji Zeyu's brocade robe covered in mud and rainwater sticking to his body, and his messy hair being brushed back at will, he couldn't help feeling worried Said: "When I go back, I will order people to send medicinal materials such as ginger to the mountain. It will be bad if everyone catches a cold."

"The princess doesn't need to worry about these." Ji Zeyu touched the rainwater on his face, and didn't care about the mudmark left on his handsome and unparalleled face, but looked at Qin Yining seriously, "Princess, please take care of yourself, and you are well." , the prince can be safe."

Qin Yining met his eyes full of complicated emotions hidden behind his indifference, but a hole in his heart was touched. The key point of his entrusting words is undoubtedly "Only the prince will be safe."

She had no friendship with Ji Zeyu, and Ji Zeyu did it for Pang Xiao.

Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu who was drenched in the rain, covered in a mess but not hiding the moonlight, and even felt that the reason why he stayed here to dig hard was not for Li Qitian, but for Pang Xiao.

"I understand." Qin Yining sighed complicatedly, then cheered up and said with a smile: "Prince Ji, please take care of yourself. I'll go back and change my clothes and wash, and come back when the weather improves."

Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes, and a few drops of rainwater dripped from his eyelashes, which were as long as butterfly wings.

"The concubine can come whenever she wants. Although I have no official position, I am still in Dingbei. You can rest assured about matters on the mountain."

Qin Yining understood that he must not like the title son-in-law.

And which family with a bright future and great ambitions would be willing to be the princess?

Qin Yining changed her address and said, "Of course, I'm relieved of Master Hou's ability. I'll take my leave first."

Ji Zeyu raised a faint smile on his lips, nodded and said, "I'll order someone to send you off."

"No need, I just ask two guards from the palace to escort me."

"No." Ji Zeyu said, "The world is in chaos now, it's different from before."

After speaking, he turned around and called his cronies over, and ordered six people to escort Qin Yining back to the city.

With Ji Zeyu's arrangement, Qin Yining thought he couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to thank him for his kindness, and called Huzi over, and said in a low voice: "Ji Zimao will take someone to take me back, and you will take someone here to watch the news. If there is anything wrong with the prince, no matter whether it is good or bad, you must come and tell me."

Seeing that Qin Yining was willing to go back down the mountain, Hu Zi was very happy. Naturally, he agreed to whatever Qin Yining said, "Princess, don't worry, I dare not hide the situation."

When Ji Zeyu was ready, Qin Yining took the car with Bingtang and Jiyun, escorted by Ji Zeyu's cronies, and left Suongshan all the way.

The rain fell on the roof of the carport, making a continuous sound.

Qin Yining observed through the gaps in the car curtains, and found that these northern men were all tall and straight, with round backs and waists. No matter whether they were riding horses or driving carts, none of them said much, and they had a sense of military dignity. Not ordinary boxers and guards, but wearing military uniforms.

Thinking about the Jinghuwei beside Pang Xiao, how could Ji Zeyu, who is as capable as Pang Xiao, not have similar cronies around him?

Qin Yining was relieved a lot, put down the curtain of the car and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He was only worried about the situation on the mountain, and there was always an unresolved melancholy between his brows.

Bingtang and Jiyun followed Qin Yining to work on the mountain for so long, seeing that Qin Yining was willing to go home, they both relaxed and fell asleep.

After walking peacefully for a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden commotion in front of the carriage, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Qin Yi suddenly opened his eyes in astonishment, facing Bingtang and Jiyun's equally frightened eyes.
