Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining followed Pang Xiao to a wing room. The night was dark, and in order to prevent their hiding place from being discovered, only a silk lamp was lit in the house, and thick blackout curtains were drawn on the doors and windows.

Two large barrels of hot water have been prepared behind the screen.

Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining sit down behind the screen, and his big bony hands removed the grass clippings from her hair.

"The conditions are limited, let's scrub it well? You are so tired and you have to go through the tunnel with such a heavy body. It really makes me feel uncomfortable."

Qin Yining took over the hot kerchief that Pang Xiaodai had given her to wipe her face. Now that the situation was tense, it was not the time for her to be fussy, and she didn't care if she couldn't take a thorough bath.

"Don't think so. Although the tunnel is narrow, it's not particularly difficult to walk. Besides, it's better to be disheartened than to be hurt."

Pang Xiao's eyes flashed coldly, "I'll see who dares to hurt you."

Qin Yining was amused by his appearance of protecting the calf, and returned the handkerchief to him, "Don't be nervous, I'm right under your nose, who has the ability to hurt me? Besides, everyone is considered strong this time Lianhe, you, Your Majesty, and Marquis Dingbei are all people who are good at planning, this decision is already the most direct and quick choice, I believe that by this time tomorrow, everything will return to calm."

Pang Xiao washed the handkerchief, took Qin Yining's fair and delicate hand, and wiped it for her clumsily.

"Anyway, with you by my side, I can be at peace. If I leave you, I don't know what to do."

Warmth surged in Qin Yining's heart, and he looked at him with a smile, "You can talk glibly, a man has ambitions in all directions, if your words today make your soldiers listen, they will still convince you in the future."

Pang Xiao threw away the handkerchief, hugged Qin Yining and bit the corner of her mouth.

"They won't accept it after a beating. I just want to give you a more stable life."

"My lord."

Without waiting for Qin Yining's answer, a servant outside the door whispered: "Guard Deng is back."

Pang Xiao's expression froze, "Got it."

Turning around, she said to Qin Yining: "It's Huzi who's back. I arranged for him to go to the palace. You sleep in the room for a while, and I'll go to the Holy One to hear the situation."

Qin Yining said: "I'm not sleepy at all right now,

I can't sleep with such a big thing in my heart, so let me go with you. "

Seeing Qin Yining's resolute attitude, Pang Xiao couldn't help sighing softly, "Okay. Anyway, I planned to stay with you all the time, and I won't let you out of my sight. Let's go."

Qin Yining nodded, and was supported by Pang Xiao back to the meeting hall.

Huzi was kneeling on one knee and reporting to Li Qitian: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. The Holy Majesty is as good as a god. The regent really left the palace. I will bring people to take back the palace immediately."

"Okay!" Li Qitian was a little excited and couldn't help raising his voice, "How is the situation in the palace?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the Queen Mother was besieged and frightened, but she was fine. The Queen Mother was locked in the Kunning Palace, and the doors and windows were sealed with wooden boards by King Lijun. Leave food and drink for the Empress, but fortunately, the Empress has a tough temperament and is not too excited, both the empress and the dragon fetus are safe and sound."

When they heard that King Lijun locked up the pregnant queen without food and drink, all the people present frowned. Especially Qin Yining, as a pregnant woman, knows the hardships of being pregnant. If she is cut off from eating and drinking at this time, it will easily make people collapse. The queen is fine now, which shows that her temperament is also very tenacious.

Li Qitian felt a fire in his heart.

He couldn't bear all kinds of evil deeds of King Lijun, and he only thought that he must eat his flesh and skin to relieve his hatred!

But now that the plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain has worked, the palace has been taken back, and it is not impossible to take down Lijun King.

"I know. Sure enough, the people around Zhen Zhixi are all extremely capable, and they are able to bring the soldiers from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion and the Consort's Mansion back to the palace more often. I will remember the great achievements for you here!"

Hu Zi hurriedly said: "The grassroots dare not take credit for it. After I entered the palace, as long as I showed my majesty's banner when encountering resistance, most of them would fight against us. It can be seen that the king of Lijun won There are still a small number of people, most people still respect the orthodoxy of the Holy Majesty, and look forward to the return of the Holy Majesty!"

What Li Qitian said made Li Qitian very ironic.

In these days of ups and downs, everything that Li Qitian owned, including his life, was almost taken away. He really couldn't accept losing again and again, and now someone told him that there were still people willing to continue to serve him. The joy brought by this news was equivalent to telling him that he had successfully regained the palace.

Li Qitian stretched out his hands to help Huzi up.

Huzi was flattered and even claimed that "the grass people dare not".

Huzi is the bodyguard next to Pang Xiao, he is no longer considered a member of the army, and has no official rank in the court.

Seeing that Li Qitian was just asking, Pang Xiao asked worriedly, "How about the casualties in the palace?"

The people brought by Huzi this time are all the cronies of Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu. Excluding these people, the Habayashi Guards, Jinwu Guards and others in the palace are all living lives. On the battlefield, although Pang Xiao felt distressed, he would not be so impatient, but the problem was that the sacrifice this time was due to extra problems.

Huzi said: "Go back to the prince, the casualties in the palace are okay, not many."

That is not a lot.

Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu lowered their eyes at the same time, feeling very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Li Qitian smiled and said: "I will reward those who helped to regain the throne this time, and those who have made efforts this time will be rewarded heavily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Several people saluted and responded in a low voice.

In Li Qitian's eyes, even if all the people who stormed into the palace were dead, there were still less than a thousand people, not to mention that these were the elite of Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu, it would be better if they died. For a battle to regain the throne, he felt that the sacrifice of a thousand people was very little.

Li Qitian stood with his hands behind his back in high spirits. Although there were dark curtains blocking the light in front of him, he seemed to be in the golden palace, and everything was under control.

"Today is the day of the court meeting, have you notified the court yet?"

Pang Xiao said: "Return to the Holy Lord, I have already tried to notify you."

"Very good. Everyone!" Li Qitian suddenly turned around and said proudly, "Follow me back to the palace."

"yes."

With an order, everyone left the front hall without hesitation.

In front of the courtyard gate, a spacious carriage has been prepared. Several fine tiger guards lined up neatly left and right.

Li Qitian stepped into the carriage first, then stretched out his hands to Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu and said with a smile: "You two virtuous brothers, ride with me."

Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu looked at each other, did not refuse, and jumped up one after another.

Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining with a big belly, and said with a smile: "Sisters and sisters should also get in the car."

Qin Yining secretly smiled inwardly, it's a beautiful move to invite people to buy people's hearts, didn't you see that the Jinghu guards seem to be very satisfied with this move?
