Return of the Swallow

Both Gu Shixiong and Yuchi Yan remained silent for a long time, and they went all the way to the Yan Dynasty Palace without saying a word.

Returning to the dormitory where Yu Chiyan lived temporarily, and retreating everyone around him, Yu Chiyan said: "Mr. Liu once said that the help they gave us with the Stone Number was not for us. What's more, we arranged this time seamlessly. It was because of Gao Wenyao's useless son, if he hadn't gone to find flowers and asked Liu Zaiwai to do such a wicked thing, he would not have been abolished, and nothing after that would have happened."

Gu Shixiong had long been used to Yu Chiyan's innocence, but hearing his optimistic words, he still couldn't help but feel angry.

He lowered his voice and tried his best to keep his tone calm: "Sitonghao, a century-old brand, has contacted us for no reason. Does the lord think it's not for us?"

The existence of Stone has a long history, even dating back to before the founding of Dayan and Beiji. It has a history of more than two hundred years, and the industries involved in it are enough to cover all walks of life, agriculture, industry, shipping, land transportation... But there is nothing Stone can't do if you want it.

The "big treasurer" of such a time-honored family with a history longer than two dynasties ordered someone to contact them. Even Yu Chiyan, as the last emperor of the Yan Dynasty, had not officially met the mysterious big treasurer. A few meetings with an accountant under the big shopkeeper was enough for him to benefit a lot.

They were able to go so smoothly in the south and gain a foothold so quickly in the old capital, and the Stone Number really helped them a lot.

They were not old acquaintances, and Gu Shixiong didn't believe that Sitonghao wanted to help Yuchiyan and Dayan for no reason. Could it be that the chief shopkeeper of Stone is in a good mood and wants to do good deeds every day? This is simply impossible.

Yu Chiyan was at a loss for words when asked by the shopkeeper Zhong Da, and gradually understood the meaning in her heart. He coughed in embarrassment and said, "It's already like this now. There is no other way except to explain it when I see Mr. Liu next time."

This sentence is on point.

If they try their best to shirk their responsibilities, it will give people the feeling that they are not honest enough. After all, the Stone Company can grow so large that it can be called a wealthy country, and their big shopkeeper is absolutely impossible to be a mediocre person.

Gu Shixiong sighed, and said: "Forget it, that's the only way to go. I'll hand over the post later. Anyway, I have to meet with the big shopkeeper of Stone, and we'll have a clear discussion face to face."

Yu Chiyan also said: "Exactly."

Pang Xiao was holding Qin Yining's waist at this time,

Slowly rode the horse to follow behind the Pingnan Army and the Jinghuwei team.

They hadn't seen each other for many days, Qin Yining only put his arms around Pang Xiao's thin waist, leaning his face on his chest, and asked in a low voice: "Are you going back to the barracks later?"

"I'll just send them back and go home with you."

"Really?" A smile crept onto Qin Yining's cheeks, she sat up straight happily, looked up at his handsome silhouette, and said with a smile: "That's great. Brother Han and Brother Zhao The big eyes are rolling around, I can see that they are looking for you, and they miss you very much when you are not at home."

Her undisguised look of joy was like a child who was begged for candy. Pang Xiao liked and felt guilty at the same time. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. The blood surging in his veins almost turned into honey. He still wants to be cheap: "Only my son misses me? Don't you miss me?"

His mouth was not idle, and his big hands unscrupulously reached into her small jacket under the cloak, rubbing her slender waist through a layer of underwear, and gradually moved upwards.

Qin Yining's face was flushed with embarrassment, she quickly twisted her body to avoid his hand, and whispered: "What are you doing, don't make trouble!"

"Then tell me, do you miss me?" Pang Xiao's hand held her waist without moving.

Qin Yining said stiffly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you thinking about?"

"Really?" Pang Xiao suppressed a smile, sat on the horseback with his back straight, and his face was serious, but his hand covered the mountain he had been thinking about for a long time without hesitation, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yi Son, your place is bigger than before, I can't even hold it with one hand."

"You..." Qin Yining twisted hard a few times and pushed his hand away.

Pang Xiao was irritated by her rubbing, but he also knew how to measure it, and he couldn't tease her too much. He was afraid that she would fall, so he hugged her hard and whispered in her ear: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. .”

Qin Yining blushed, ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't want to be too stingy, so he forcibly changed the subject: "You brought so many people here today, which really surprised me. The matter in the barracks has been handled properly? Then How did Deng Minchang be surrendered by you?"

Pang Xiao also wanted to divert his attention, and said: "The situation in the Pingnan Army is more complicated than it looks on the outside. Although Deng Minchang has been corrupted by wine, meat, gold, silver and beautiful women, he has become a helpless man. But he is actually not the one that the Pingnan Army said."

"Oh?" Qin Yining said in surprise: "Isn't he the top leader in the Pingnan Army? He doesn't count, so who else has the power?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "You also know that half of the Pingnan Army were those who followed my Huben Army to conquer Dayan."

Qin Yining nodded.

"Those people were trained by me at the beginning, not to mention one against ten, but they all looked like howling little tigers, but now that the war is over, they have degenerated to the point where they have to complain when they run with heavy loads, let alone the rest of them. The half of the soldiers and horses that have not been trained by me.

"Pingnan Army, from the coach Deng Minchang to the soldiers below, seemed to be in a state of disunity. Deng Minchang even left all the power and responsibility in his hands to his deputy Lu Zhang. He spent all his time drinking and drinking, even if I was there, he might not Ken came out to share weal and woe with the soldiers. This Lu Zhang has established a lot of prestige in the army, and many soldiers obey him.

"I didn't fully grasp the Pingnan Army at first, but Lu Zhang fell ill a few days ago. I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I took the opportunity to grasp the Pingnan Army."

Qin Yining was surprised when he heard this: "I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in it. Now that you're in charge, Deng Minchang doesn't respond?"

"He's used to enjoying it. It seems that anyone can be the leader of the Pingnan Army. Flatter me in front of me, and turn around and flatter Lu Zhang."

"That really has no position." Qin Yining sighed softly.

"That's fine, otherwise, I don't know how many twists and turns there will be."

Qin Yining also nodded in agreement.

Pang Xiao sent the team all the way back to the Pingnan camp, and after a few words of training, he ordered everyone to go back to rest, and he took Qin Yining back to the mansion.

Qin Yining didn't feel tired at all riding with him, the speed of the two was not fast, Pang Xiao cherished and enjoyed this opportunity to talk with Qin Yining alone.

"No matter what you want to do next time, tell me. I will try my best to cooperate with you. Don't embarrass yourself like this time because of taking care of me, you know?"

After listening to his nagging all the way, Qin Yining didn't need to ask why Pang Xiao came so coincidentally, or why he made these arrangements, and knew in her heart that everything he did was for her own good, so she obediently agreed.

All the way back to the Qin mansion, just after entering the door, I saw Mu Jinghu and Huzi who had already tidied up.

The two of them mixed among the refugees just now to arouse everyone's emotions, and they cooperated seamlessly, pretending that the refugees didn't find any flaws, but now they look completely new.

"Wood." Pang Xiao strode forward with a smile, patted Mu Jinghu on the shoulder, and said happily: "Why do you remember the old capital? You came with your uncle?"

In fact, Pang Xiao's current position is really inappropriate to directly ask Mu Jinghu about Tianjizi.

But he asked frankly, and Mu Jinghu was also frank in his heart. He smiled and shook his head and said: "No, I came out by myself. The uncle told me to come to the south, saying that there is a big excitement to watch, let me see more of the excitement here, Lest anyone be stupid."

This is really like what Tian Jizi said.

Although the positions are different, Tianjizi is also a wonderful person in some respects.

A group of people walked towards the inner house, Qin Yining asked worriedly: "How is my grandma? Where is she now?"

Huzi said solemnly: "Princess, don't worry, Mrs. Dingguo is going to Sydney with Bingtang now. Bingtang said that the old lady's life is still safe, but because of her age, she has experienced a lot of prison. The one surnamed Gao locked her in a cage that couldn't be stretched open, and after suffering such a crime, her body couldn't take it anymore, and she needs to be recuperated."

Qin Yining's heart ached when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran to Sydney Courtyard.

Now there are no other female relatives living in the Qin residence, and for convenience and safety, everyone lives in the Sydney Courtyard, so Pang Xiao also directly dragged Mu Jinghu and Huzi to go together.

As soon as Qin Yining entered the door, she saw Qiu Lu and Lian Xiaocong carrying the food box to the wing.

Seeing Qin Yining's return, the two quickly saluted and said, "Princess, you are back."

"Well. Where's my grandmother?"

"It's right here." Qiu Lu first set up the bamboo curtain for Qin Yining.

Qin Yining didn't care about other things, and rushed in quickly.

The house smelled of bitter medicines, and of roasted spirits. Turning to the first floor of the bogu shelf, I went to the inner room. I saw Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Dingguo, reclining on a soft pillow, sitting on the three-dimensional arhat bed, and Bingtang was packing up a pile of bottles and jars.

Qin Yining suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at Zheng Shi who had not seen him for a long time, his temples were already graying, as if Zheng Shi had aged ten years suddenly, tears could not help but well up.

"Grandmother."

Seeing Qin Yining, Mrs. Zheng held out her hand with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face: "Sister Yi, come here and show grandma. It's been so long since we haven't seen each other. Our sister Yi has already become a mother. I just After watching Brother Han and Brother Zhao, both brothers are very cute."

"Grandmother!" Qin Yining walked over quickly, knelt down in front of the bed, held Zheng's hand against her face, and then fell down beside her lap, "Grandmother, don't do this in the future, really Scared me!"
