Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao said: "The morning paper is almost there."

Ji Zeyu jumped off the horse dashingly, threw the reins to the entourage behind him, and walked side by side with Pang Xiao.

"Qin, you killed him?"

"No."

The two entered the city gate and walked on the bustling streets of the capital without speaking for a while.

They were both tall and handsome, one wearing a black mink velvet cloak, and the other wearing a white fox armpit cloak, cold as frost, walking side by side, which really attracted the attention of many people in the capital.

Many people recognized that the man in black was the head coach of the Hu Ben Army, Prince Zhongshun Pang Xiao. The one in white is the head coach of Longchong Army, Dingbei waiting for Ji Zeyu.

However, because they were outside, and I didn't know whether the two big men in the hands of military power had something important to discuss, no one came to disturb them.

Pang Xiao was worried about Qin Yining's body while walking. The capital is located in the north, a place outside the border that Qin Yining has never been to before. She is so cold in the winter in the south, can she stand it here or there? What's more, her body was weak and her qi and blood were insufficient, and she was still coughing when they parted.

When Pang Xiao thought about this, there was an unconcealed worry on his face.

And Ji Zeyu took his look into his eyes.

After a long time, when Pang Xiao had forgotten what he had just chatted with Ji Zeyu, Ji Zeyu suddenly said, "It's okay."

Pang Xiao was stunned for a moment when he said it without a beginning or an end.

However, Ji Zeyu had already taken the reins from his entourage, and turned over on the back of a prancing horse, "I'm going to leave, I'm leaving."

Pang Xiao said in surprise: "In such a hurry?"

"Well. Let's meet again next time." Ji Zeyu raised the corners of his lips rarely, showed a smile, and cupped his hands at Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao sighed softly and said, "Okay, we'll meet again next time." He also surrendered to Ji Zeyu.

Ji Zeyu put away his smile, glanced coldly at Pang Xiao and the people around him, then turned around and rode away.

Hu Zi shuddered, "Dingbei Hou's temperament really hasn't changed over the years. He looks at people like he has a grudge against you."

When Pang Xiao heard this, he just smiled and shook his head,

Sighed: "Forget it, since you have come back, let's go to the palace to face the saint first." So as not to be seized by those full-fledged officials, and then impeach him for disrespecting the saint.

Back in the capital, Pang Xiao naturally had to tighten all his nerves to deal with the things around him.

The water in the officialdom is deep. In order to conquer the world for the Zhou Dynasty, he was responsible for all bad things. In addition, he took revenge on many people for his father. Not to mention his murderous reputation, it was those who surrendered to the Northern Ji Kingdom. Now seeing him is like Seeing the murder of the father and the enemy. It is impossible to guard against open swords and dark arrows, and he must fight against these with 120,000 points of spirit.

What's more, the one on the throne has always had a grudge against him.

Things really happened as Pang Xiao expected.

** One of the grand palaces.

A young man in a bright yellow imperial uniform, with a good figure and a kind face, supported Pang Xiao, who was kneeling in front of him, with both hands, and his voice was full of joy:

"Brother, please get up quickly, you have gone out to fight for so long, our brothers haven't spoken for a long time, but I really want to die as a brother!"

Pang Xiao stepped back a few steps and stood under the steps, and said respectfully, "The same is true of this minister. How is Sheng Jin's health?"

"Okay, it's all good. It's because I miss you. You did a great job with Dayan, but things like surrender and handover are too complicated. I don't want you to be burdened again. me?"

"What did the sage say?" Pang Xiao laughed. "It's too late to be happy. You know, this minister is the most impatient to do these troublesome and mind-blowing things. If you have that effort, you might as well eat a few more glasses of good wine!"

"Haha! That's right!" Li Qitian laughed loudly, and then said, "You have worked hard for you this time, and you have been fighting outside for a long time. The old people in the family miss you, and you should be more filial by their side. In addition, You are working too hard, I plan to let Zuo Jinwei, the minister of military affairs, act as the head coach of the Hu Ben Army for the time being, and you can rest in the capital with peace of mind, what do you think?"

This is to take back his military power!

Pang Xiao lowered his eyes and bowed his head respectfully, "Saint's orders are in line with the minister's wishes, and the minister would like to thank Shenglong."

Li Qitian didn't seem to think that Pang Xiao would agree so easily, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly and rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, I will give you a hundred acres of fertile land, a hundred taels of gold, and ten beautiful women as concubines, you I must have a good life and recuperate for a while, and I will depend on you for my big week!"

"As long as the saint instructs him, the minister is willing to smack the ground and do whatever he wants." Pang Xiao thanked him respectfully again.

When he entered the palace, Pang Xiao was still the head coach of the Hu Ben army.

When he left the palace, he had already been deprived of military power, handed over the military talisman, and became an idle prince with only a prince and no official position.

In addition to the personal guards behind him, there were also eunuchs who gave rewards. At the end of the team, there were ten beauties with their own characteristics.

Hu Zi frowned, lowered his voice and said in Pang Xiao's ear: "My lord, if Fourth Young Lady knew that she hasn't come through yet, and you have ten concubines bestowed by the imperial concubine, what would you do?"

It really is a pot that can't be opened without mentioning it!

Pang Xiao's face was expressionless, but he couldn't be more impatient in his heart.

Returning to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, let someone take the ten beauties to resettle them, and go to greet their mother, grandfather and grandmother.

When Pang Xiao was reunited with his family, he did not know that when he left the capital, Ji Zeyu, who was supposed to take his own soldiers to the north of the Tartars, came out of the north gate, circled a long way, and headed straight to the Great Wall. Yan went to the south where he was.

"Miss, you are holding this stove, but don't catch a cold again."

In the spacious carriage, Ji Yun stuffed a brass hand warmer into Qin Yining's arms.

Qin Yining hurriedly took it and put his cold hands on it, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, and said with a smile, "Why do I catch a cold so easily? Don't worry, I will feel much better now. I just didn't expect that the Great Zhou Dynasty The winter will be so cold, and it is really hard to travel in the winter.”

Ten days ago, Prince Yan led his family, as well as the first batch of officials and family members who surrendered to Da Zhou, on a journey to the capital of Da Zhou in the north.

The Yan Dynasty was located in the south, and even if it snowed in winter, it was difficult to stand on the ground.

However, the further they walked towards the capital, the colder the weather became. Until Liangcheng, which had crossed the border between the two countries, entered the territory of Dazhou, it was already covered in silver and plain, with pine trees standing in the mountains.

People from the south could not adapt to such cold weather.

Fortunately, Qin Yining lived on the frontier in the early years, but other people in the family adapted better.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the convoy, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Qin Yining said strangely, "What's going on?"

"Slave, go have a look." Ji Yun jumped out of the carriage.

On this trip, Yuchiyan, his concubines and palace servants walked at the finale of the team. They went forward to the team of Duke Ang's Li family, and then to the family of Emperor Gu's family. The fourth family from the back was the Qin family.

Before the Qin family, there were dozens of carriages driving ahead.

Ji Yun stretched his neck and looked forward, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

I saw the white snow, facing a large group of big men in animal skins and masks, waving swords, guns and sticks into the convoy, and saw people cut, especially the female relatives in the carriage and the sedan chair, were dragged out. One by one, it fell to the ground!

"Miss, get out of the car, hurry, hurry! It's a bandit!" Ji Yun shouted in a panic!
