Return of the Swallow

Compared to the empress and concubines who were ostentatious before him, Li Qitian is more envious of Qin Yining's true love for Pang Xiao now.

Ji Zeyu led his men to continue digging.

Qin Yining couldn't help either, so he turned around and ordered Jiyun: "Take people down the mountain and go back to the mansion, go get some more clothes, and order people to prepare hot water, so the prince will need it when he comes out." Taking a look at the bloodstains on Li Qitian's body that had turned black under the night, Qin Yining could smell the pungent smell of blood from a long distance, Qin Yining added: "Your Majesty also needs to change his clothes and wash his hands, so as not to catch a cold from the cold."

Jiyun should be, so he turned around and called two guards to follow her down the mountain.

Li Qitian listened to Qin Yining's order, smiled and said: "Prince Zhongshun is still careful."

Qin Yining bent his knees and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will take a short rest, and I can change clothes and wash later."

At this time, Bingtang brought rough earthenware bowls and pots, as well as some sorghum flour cakes. He poured a bowl of warm water and presented it to Li Qitian with both hands.

Li Qitian took it, and drank it down without caring about the image.

Seeing that he was drinking water in a hurry, Qin Yining ordered Bingtang to continue pouring water for Li Qitian, saying: "My lord, please use some bread."

At this time Li Qitian was already hungry, his chest pressed against his back, and he didn't care about his dirty hands, so he took a bite of the cake.

He didn't know how long he had been trapped in the underground palace.

When the explosion happened, he fled together with Li Guanwen and Pang Xiao to the only underground palace without fire.

However, the underground palace collapsed very badly, Pang Xiao ran fast and was lucky, but he and Li Guanwen were not so lucky, they were buried by falling stone slabs and stones.

Fortunately, the stone formed a triangular space, and Li Guanwen was loyal to protect the lord and blocked it for him, so he was not killed on the spot, but Li Guanwen was already seriously injured at that time.

But being buried in a pile of rocks, without water or food, if it is not done properly, it will die.

Li Qitian began to move stones carefully, trying to dig a way out.

Li Guanwen is dead.

Li Qitian can only rely on himself.

He didn't know how long he stayed in that small space, he was so thirsty that he even drank his own urine,

He was so hungry that he even drank Li Guanwen's blood and ate Li Guanwen's meat.

The taste of two feet sheep is really bad. Especially raw.

But Li Qitian didn't want to die, he didn't want to give up.

Just after he eats an arm, he finally finds his way out. In case he couldn't find food, he took Li Guanwen's other arm as rations...

He walked and walked, the smell of blood on his body had already made him numb. In a pitch-black environment, I don't know where the way out is.

Then he smelled barbecue.

Walking along the burnt smell of the fat being roasted, he saw the light of the fire, and also saw Pang Xiao sitting in front of the fire while eating tribute and roasting rat meat.

At that time, Li Guanwen's blood was all over his face and body, and he still held Li Guanwen's arm in his hand.

Li Qitian thought of the way Pang Xiao looked at him at that time, and wished he could turn back time. The side he didn't want others to see the most was still seen by Pang Xiao.

The imperial mausoleum is guarded all the year round, and the tributes are often replaced. The noodles used to make tribute snacks are all soaked in oil. After being stored in the underground palace for a long time, although there is a strange smell and bitter taste of spoiled oil, those tribute products are pasta and can still be eaten.

And Pang Xiao found those tributes ahead of him.

Li Qitian followed Pang Xiao to look for the spring in the underground palace, and he was afraid that Pang Xiao would kill him, so he wanted to settle down and wait for Pang Xiao to give him food. This kind of memory, Li Qitian wished he could erase it.

For a moment just now, he wished he could tell everyone that there was no one else in the underground palace. Let Pang Xiao be buried in it.

But after thinking about it, Qin Yining is such a stubborn person, I'm afraid he will see people and corpses, if Pang Xiao is saved and publicizes his actions, others will criticize him.

Only then did Li Qitian tell Ji Zeyu and others that Pang Xiao was still below.

The scent of the sorghum bread in his mouth diluted the smell of blood, Li Qitian dipped in warm water and ate two enough to get some relief.

At this time, Qin Yining had already reached the entrance of the excavated hole.

"My lord? Can you hear me? I'm Ji Lan!" While digging, he shouted inside.

After all, it was the entrance of the cave where Li Qitian had been rescued just now. Although soil and stones collapsed and blocked the entrance of the cave again, it was much easier than when digging at the beginning.

"I can hear you." Pang Xiao's voice came from the entrance of the cave, his voice was dull through the layers of mud.

But to Qin Yining, this is simply the sound of nature!

With tears in his eyes, Qin Yining clenched his teeth so that he wouldn't jump forward excitedly.

At this time, it is safest for Pang Xiao to wait quietly and not to cause trouble for Ji Zeyu and the others.

After digging for another stick of incense, the entrance of the cave was finally opened. Ji Zeyu grabbed Pang Xiao's hand and dragged him out of the cave. Then the hole that only allowed one person to pass collapsed again.

"Alan!" Pang Xiao hugged Ji Zeyu, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you!"

Ji Zeyu showed his neat white teeth with a smile, shook his head and said, "Is there anyone else in there? How are you?" Ji Zeyu looked down, and saw that the robe on Pang Xiao's body was dirty, but there was no blood, obviously Pang Xiao had been there. It is easier than Li Qitian.

Pang Xiao said: "There are no living people below. Where is the Holy One?"

Only then did Ji Zeyu step aside and said, "Your Majesty, come here again."

However, the moment Ji Zeyu stepped aside, Pang Xiao saw his beloved wife who was potbellied and in a mess.

"Sister Yi?" Pang Xiao couldn't believe his eyes. This is Sui Mountain, some distance away from the capital, and Qin Yining is pregnant again. Moreover, the time when they were found was also random, which only showed that Qin Yining had been waiting for him on the mountain.

At this moment, Pang Xiao couldn't care less about saluting Li Qitian, he bypassed Ji Zeyu and quickly walked in front of Qin Yining, stretched out his arms, and slowly hugged her in his arms.

"Sister Yi, I made you worry."

Qin Yining buried her face on Pang Xiao's shoulder, tears rolled down her face, Pang Xiao's body was covered with mud, but she didn't care at all, she just pressed herself tightly into Pang Xiao's arms, whispering over and over again: " Bodhisattva bless you. You're fine, you're fine."

"Yeah, I'm fine! Sister Yi, don't get excited, you have to think about the child." The big hand touched Qin Yining's cheek, leaving a few mud marks on her face, "Look, you've lost weight So much, how long have I been in the underground palace? Have you never had a good meal?"

"It's been twenty days." Qin Yining's tears washed her dirty little face into two white tear stains, "I thought you already..."

Pang Xiao didn't even know that he had survived in the underground palace for twenty days.

Pang Xiao put his arms around Qin Yining, and rubbed her forehead with his chin: "Okay, don't cry, am I okay? Be careful and let the child hear the joke."
