Return of the Swallow

Zuo Jinwei led an army of 20,000 tigers and beasts, and with the family members of the courtiers of Dayan who had been rescued, he set off back to Beijing in a mighty way. He was very excited along the way, and he kept staring at the "Pang Xiao". The carriage, for fear that the cunning guy would run away halfway.

However, "Pang Xiao" has been peaceful all the way. Xu is seriously ill. He basically doesn't get out of the car very much. There is only a young captain to follow. Eight-year-old girl.

Zuo Jinwei once called the little girl to come and ask questions, but who knew that the little girl was actually a mute, who would only look at people timidly, with the stupidity of a simple person in the mountains. Let Zuo Jinwei have no interest in interrogating such a child at all.

At the same time in the capital, Zhou Emperor Li Qitian saw the second secret report from Zuo Jinwei, and his anger could hardly be suppressed.

He threw the report on the table and picked up the white porcelain tea bowl on his left, but his hands trembling with anger rattled the lid of the bowl, and the tea soup was almost poured out.

Li Qitian angrily threw the tea bowl on the ground again, "Who made the tea! It's so hot, how can I eat it!"

"Holy forgiveness!" The palace maid on the side immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

In fact, everyone knows that the bowl of tea can't be hot.

They serve the saint, and naturally they must take care of all these trivial matters. The tea soup should be six or seven minutes hot, just right for the entrance.

The saint is like this, but he has encountered unpleasant things and is angry.

The big eunuch Li Guan immediately came to salute: "Saint Xi's anger, it's the servant who neglected to observe." He turned back and glared at the palace maid: "Don't get out of here yet to receive the punishment!"

The palace maid was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.

For her, this is like a bolt from the blue, a disaster! But where can the maid dare to have other ideas? If she said too much, she would even lose her life from being punished if she did something wrong.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Li Qitian calmed down and sighed, "You all retreat, Li Guan stays."

"Yes, thank you Saint Long!" The palace maid let out a sigh of relief, kowtowed three times in a row in gratitude, and then she respectfully retreated.

The servants and palace maids serving in the imperial study are all Li Qitian's cronies. In his private space, he must use people he can trust, otherwise it will be counted in his own territory.

He couldn't relax completely. Doing so today is also a means of buying people's hearts.

Li Qitian was accustomed to giving a sweet jujube a slap in the face like this, Li Guan had already figured out the saint's temperament, and it was no surprise.

When everyone else filed down and only Li Qitian and Li Guan were left in the imperial study, Li Qitian said, "Do you know the content of the report?"

Li Guan smiled and brought another bowl of tea to Li Qitian, and said with a smile: "Look at the sage, the slaves only know how to serve by the saint's side all day long, how will they know what's going on outside? If the saint wants the slaves to know, The slaves will naturally know."

Li Qitian threw the report to Li Guan and said, "You slick old man, take a look."

Li Guan hurriedly held up the report with both hands, read it carefully, and then said in shock, "This Prince Zhongshun... is he trying to rebel!"

"Hmph, these two are unwilling to give me peace of mind! They all regard me as a soft persimmon that is easy to handle. The military talisman of the Hu Ben army has been handed over to me, and he dares to act like this!"

Li Guan hurriedly hunched over, not daring to say a word.

It wasn't until the anger of the sage had subsided that he said, "It seems that Prince Zhongshun is really sincere to the young lady of the Qin family. Something happened to the team that surrendered this time, and Prince Zhongshun was so anxious that he couldn't even care about the emperor's life. Then, with a rush of people to save people, it seems that since ancient times, it is true that heroes have been saddened by Meirenguan."

Hearing a eunuch analyze in front of him what "heroes are saddened by beauty", Li Qitian couldn't help laughing, "You eunuch know a lot."

Li Guan smiled shyly, then turned to say: "Holy, the Hu Ben army is now stationed outside the city, it is really too dangerous. You have to prepare early."

Li Qitian pondered for a moment, and a face that had always been full of kindness showed a friendly smile, "Where is Ji Lan now?"

"Back to Saint, Dingbei Hou is still kneeling outside to reflect. He has been kneeling for a day and a night."

Li Qitian sighed and said: "Although he acted recklessly and caused a big embarrassment to me, Ji Lan is also sincere to me, and he knew that he would rush back to the capital to apologize to me and tell him not to kneel. Come in and see me."

"Yes. The slave is here."

Li Guan bowed back, went outside the imperial study, and helped Ji Zeyu, who was kneeling upright, first, ordered the little maid to massage Ji Zeyu's legs, and then put ointment on the bruised knee, and then said respectfully: " Lord Hou, the sage invites you to come in and talk."

Ji Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief, said "Thank you" to Li Guan with a cold face, and then entered the imperial study.

Li Guan originally wanted to go in and serve, but Sheng didn't allow anyone to serve, so what exactly Yi Sheng and Ji Zeyu were talking about, they don't know.

At this time, Pang Xiao, who had just returned to Prince Zhongshun's mansion secretly, had already learned that Ji Zeyu had also returned to the capital and asked the saint to plead guilty.

Pang Xiao frowned and said nothing for a long time.

Hu Zi said: "My lord, you are taking too much risk this time. Even for the sake of the Fourth Young Lady, you can't...even though you have come back now. But that doesn't mean that the sage doesn't know anything about it. Since the sage knows everything, That must be an opportunity to give you a big one, what will you do then?"

How could Pang Xiao not understand these truths?

It's just that when he has a strong desire to do something, it doesn't matter what the consequences are. At least now he can be sure that Qin Yining is still alive, not the corpse he has seen in nightmares these days.

Pang Xiaotian was not afraid, what he was most afraid of was Qin Yining being wronged and hurt, but this time, he didn't think about it.

How could Pang Xiao think that Ji Zeyu would be so impulsive, so he defied the imperial edict and led someone to kill him?

But thinking about it carefully, Pang Xiao's heart was a little bitter.

Is Ji Zeyu's move really just to avenge him?

Based on what he and Ji Zeyu have known each other for many years, Ji Zeyu has a deep scheming and a shrewd mind, and is comparable to the saint. As the commander of the Longchung Army, he suppressed the Tartars to the death on the northern side of the Megatron. Such a man. How can someone who is brave and resourceful be someone who does something reckless on impulse?

Pang Xiao didn't need to think about it, he knew that Ji Zeyu's approach was really killing two birds with one stone.

But he didn't want to try to figure out a brother with the darkest mind.

Pang Xiao ignored the rumors outside, and continued to pretend to be ill after talking with his mother, grandfather and grandmother.

And the Hu Ben army, who had traveled long distances in the snow, finally arrived in the capital.

As soon as Li Qitian heard that Zuo Jinwei had brought people back, he immediately ordered the troops of the Fifth Army Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and Three Thousand Battalions, together with the 10,000 Longchong Army who had been left behind by Ji Zeyu outside the city, to take the 20,000 soldiers who had arrived at the city gate. The Hu Ben army strictly blocked the outer city gate.
