Return of the Swallow

Seeing that Pang Xiao was about to attack again, Lian Shengjie screamed in horror, and hurriedly rolled on the spot, narrowly avoiding another knife.

And Pang Xiao's knife didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he actually cut into the case. The blade didn't penetrate more than half, but the case was intact. He pulled it hard twice, but it didn't come out. He simply grabbed Lian Shengjie's collar with his bare hands. One punch.

Lian Shengjie screamed in pain, covering Wu Qing's eye sockets, and grabbing Pang Xiao's wrist with the other hand and shouting: "Pang Zhixi, you dare to beat the court officials! I must impeach you, impeach you!"

"It's a man, but you fight back! You will only complain!" Another punch hit the abdomen.

"I won't give you a chance to impeach me!" Lian Shengjie clutched his stomach, trying to resist but was suppressed, "I must impeach you! Let you lose your post!"

"what ever!"

Pang Xiao pressed Lian Shengjie to the ground and punched him.

Everyone finally recovered from Pang Xiao's words "Lao Tzu's woman".

Zheng Pei rushed forward in a panic, pulled Pang Xiao's arm and said anxiously: "Little Prince, you, you are too impulsive! He is the coach after all!"

Pang Xiao made another kick, "I beat him!"

Qin Yining stared blankly at Pang Xiao, her mind was already in a mess.

No wonder this person is called "Zhi Xi", so he is Pang Zhixi!

She has always thought that this person is not simple, and indeed, he is actually a terrifying, murderous little prince!

Why did he go to Dayan Capital?

What is his relationship with Liu Xiangu?

She remembered that the emperor was still eating the elixir that Liu Xiangu entered?

Pang Xiao's father died because of alienation. He should hate the Qin family to the core, but why did he help her save her many times?

If he had ulterior motives, why didn't she feel any hostility from him?

He turned his head back, shook his fingers, and smiled at Qin Yining. The look seemed to be saying "How is it, Lao Tzu is so cool"?

Qin Yining's face was hot, but she didn't know how to react for a while.

Pang Xiao's attitude towards her,

It seems to be the same as before, but she doesn't know how to face him...

Lian Shengjie covered Wu Qing's right eye and stumbled to his feet.

Zheng Pei hurriedly helped, but was pushed away by Lian Shengjie.

"Pang Zhixi! You have an affair with the daughter of the imperial master of the Yan Dynasty, and you are clearly treasonous!"

"Which eye did you see this king having an affair with?"

"You clearly said that just now!"

"This king was love at first sight!"

"You are arrogant!"

"You were beaten by this king, and Miss Qin was attracted by this king! If you can convince the sage of the crime of this king's treason, then it's up to you. The premise is that you try to see if you can live."

Pang Xiao dropped this sentence, turned around and left, stopped before leaving the tent, and looked back at Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Yining.

Qin Huaiyuan's eyes were calm, and he looked back at Pang Xiao with an unclear expression.

Pang Xiao didn't look at him much, but only smiled at Qin Yining with half of the corner of his lips cocked, and then he lifted the curtain in high spirits.

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when he laughed, and he couldn't help but hide behind Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Huaiyuan frowned at Lian Shengjie, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Zheng Pei let out a long sigh, glared at Qin Huaiyuan, and then at Qin Yining, stomping his feet and saying, "Really, bad water, bad water!" After saying that, he walked away.

The noisy tent has now returned to silence, and only Lian Shengjie's screams are left. The content of the peace talks has not yet been formulated, but the people's noses and faces are bruised and bruised. Qin Huaiyuan and Cui Wenqing didn't know what to do for a while.

Lian Shengjie got up and walked out with the help of the lieutenant beside him.

Cui Wenqing chased after him and said, "Sir Lian, our peace talks..."

"What are you talking about! Didn't you see that my family was seriously injured! You have no sincerity, so you have the nerve to ask questions!" The lieutenant scolded and carefully supported Lian Shengjie away.

Cui Wenqing turned his head and said anxiously, "Qin Taishi, how can this be?"

"Don't be impatient. The original peace talks could not be done in a day. There must be some time for negotiation. Let's stay for the time being and wait and see. It's not too late to talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing Qin Huaiyuan so calm, Cui Wenqing also took a reassurance.

Thinking about the farce just now, I couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Da Zhou people are really tricky! I heard that Pang Zhixi's original position as Marshal of Pingnan was lost because of his rebelliousness. Emperor Zhou arranged for someone surnamed Lian to come. Pang Zhixi has been holding her breath, and even walked away a few days ago. Today, he took advantage of our presence to attack, in fact, he was looking for an opportunity to take revenge on the surnamed Lian, but he shamelessly involved Miss Qin and ruined Miss Qin's reputation. Really Abominable!"

Qin Huaiyuan sighed: "What can we do under the low eaves? Master Cui, why don't we settle for the time being today. We will see the situation tomorrow."

"What the lord said is that it will be placed first today."

Qin Huaiyuan, Cui Wenqing, and Qin Yining left the main tent and went to their own site on the east side of the camp.

After saying goodbye to Cui Wenqing, Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Yining entered the tent, and arranged for someone to stand guard outside the tent.

"Father, I didn't know that he was Pang Zhixi." Qin Yining lowered her voice and said anxiously.

Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand to interrupt Qin Yining's explanation, and said with a smile, "My father knows. It's not your fault."

"But it was him who messed up what happened today."

"Sister Yi." Qin Huaiyuan touched her head with a smile, "Actually, he broke in and disturbed the scene. Not only was he not angry, but he was also very grateful to him."

Qin Yining heard the words, and his eyes were filled with water vapor.

Thinking back to Lian Shengjie's no-nonsense flirting, she actually treated her as a fan-touine for fun, and in front of her father and other strange men, if she really was a woman in her boudoir who raised Sanzhenjiulie, He should have been hanged by the neck to prove his innocence.

But at a critical juncture, her father was still trying his best to protect her.

"Father, you have your heart to protect your daughter. My daughter is very moved. It's just that the emperor's will cannot be violated. Today's peace talks have not been successful. You must report back to the emperor. The emperor is really to blame. If you say that you have no country in your heart, you can't even bear a daughter. , if the country's safety is at stake, then you can't say it with your mouth. Next time, if the surname is Lian again, you should give up your daughter."

Qin Huaiyuan knew that Qin Yining was right.

But his only daughter, who looks so similar to him when he was young, and has such a lovable temperament, how could Qin Huaiyuan be willing?

"As a father, I will definitely find a way. Sister Yi, don't worry."

Qin Yining suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Huaiyuan with tears in his eyelashes.

Looking at her bright eyes, Qin Huaiyuan's heart softened to a puddle of water, and his big hand gently patted her forehead again, "The biggest regret in my father's life is that you didn't grow up by my side, and we only met each other. After a while, they gather less and leave more."

Qin Yining smiled too much and squeezed the tears out of her eyes.

Qin Huaiyuan wiped her face with his sleeve: "Silly girl, why are you crying? If you grew up by your father's side, you have to be meticulously nurtured by your father, and you will definitely be better than ordinary men. We have to obey the emperor's will, The emperor ordered to take you for his father, and he took you for his father, but if the people of Da Zhou refuse to accept it, we can't force them to send them away, right? How can the emperor blame him?"

Qin Yining's eyes widened, and he quickly understood what Qin Huaiyuan meant: "My father said that this is the reason why Pang Zhixi made a fuss today? So it's not your fault?"

"I'm afraid that's what Pang Zhixi means." Qin Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes and said with deep eyes: "I can't see him clearly. When I first saw him, I felt that this person was unpredictable, but now he really came from an extraordinary way, and he acted. Perverse, but justified."

"It is said that he used a lot of tactics and tactics on the battlefield, and he often did unexpected things, which made it hard to guard against. In their court, he never followed the rules. Some people said that he was an upright man who was mighty and unyielding. Saying that he is a devil king who dares to play tricks when he is in the palace, anyway, there is no matter how he is passed on. Even their emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has nothing to do with this person. It is the first time I met him today as a father, and it is indeed a little confusing. Find out what he's going to do."

Qin Yining listened to her father's description, and recalled that when Pang Xiao got along with her, she almost never stopped teasing herself, but she couldn't really hate him, and she knew more about this man's inscrutable.

"Forget it, you are tired today. Go back and settle down. There are men everywhere in this barracks, so be careful."

"Yes. My daughter retire."

Qin Yining saluted and retired, and a Yan soldier led the way to his tent.

Because the entire barracks was filled with men, it was really inconvenient to live together, so Qin Yining's tent was purposely separated by a wooden fence and built on the north side of Dayan's camp. A single large tent among the wooden fences looked a little left behind. A sense of independence from the world, on this side of the fence, there are still two soldiers standing guard.

Qin Yining returned to the tent, did not light the lamp, first washed and changed clothes, and then stuffed a dagger that had been hidden on his body when he came out of Xihua City, under the pillow, and slept in his clothes.

In the next few days, the peace talks entered a state of anxiety.

After Lian Shengjie was beaten by Pang Xiao, he said he could not afford to be sick.

Because Lian Somerset was the official who presided over the peace talks in Da Zhou, he did not show the signature and seal, even if others said it was useless.

For the first two days, the people of Dayan were still calm, and on the third day, imperial decrees continued to come from the capital city.

Xihua City is not far from the capital, the emperor's imperial decrees are basically one after another, basically every hour, Qin Huaiyuan can receive a decree that the emperor angrily reprimands Qin Huaiyuan for not doing things well.

The content of the decree is the same, that is, it is to scold Qin Huaiyuan for being incompetent. She has brought her daughter but refuses to send it to her. If she was willing to send her daughter to the peace talks, it would have been successful. Could it be that Qin Huaiyuan would not give up her daughter? Have a second heart for Dayan?

Although Qin Yining lived alone, the eunuch who listened to the decree from the outside came every hour every hour, and scolded Qin Huaiyuan completely, and he couldn't help worrying about his father.

It seems that the emperor is really anxious and afraid, otherwise it would be impossible to be so ignorant of manpower and material resources, and the anxious face would not be needed.

So far, it has been the seventh day since they came to the peace talks camp.

Lian Somerset still closed his door to claim that he was ill, and refused to sign with the seal.

And tonight, Qin Huaiyuan received an unprecedented reprimand. The emperor even cursed Qin Huaiyuan in the imperial decree as a "bad husband and a cheap slave"!

Qin Yining understood what Lian Somerset was doing. It's nothing more than that he didn't eat the meat, and he wanted to wait for them to take the initiative to send people away, so as to make up for his lost face that day. In the past few days, her father did not take the initiative to give her away.

Can she just keep hiding under her father's protection? Wouldn't he really kill his father?

Qin Yining thought about this, then suddenly sat up and looked at the sky outside.

It was already dark, and it was over.

As soon as she gritted her teeth, she made up her mind, hid the dagger under the pillow in her sleeve pocket, trimmed her long hair, put on the jade-colored cape with the collar of white fox fur, and went out the door, heading straight for the Da Zhou people across the open space. went to camp.
