Return of the Swallow

Cao Yuqing hugged Qin Yining, patted her thin back and said, "I'm fine. Aunt Cao is very capable, so what could happen? It's you, you've lost so much weight, you must have suffered a lot, right?" ?”

This genuine concern and a warm embrace that was not generous made Qin Yining almost cry on the spot.

She sniffed and said after a long while: "I'm fine. Although there were dangers along the way, I got through it in the end. Now that those experiences are over, don't you think I'm fine? It's just that I was taken away that day. , I am worried that you will be buried underground, is everyone... okay?"

At this time, the last thing Qin Yining wanted to hear was the news that something had happened to someone that day. Thinking of those fresh faces, those people were still so young. If they ended up losing their lives because of protecting her, Qin Yining would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Cao Yuqing patted her shoulder clearly and said comfortingly: "Don't think so wildly. God is on our side this time. Our people are all fine. The prince later led people to the scene and cleared the entire cave. I dug it up and rescued everyone. Jingzhe and the others even ran out in advance, but their injuries were relatively serious. I let them rest and recuperate. They have probably recovered now. Bingtang and Jieyun were injured at that time. There is no need to worry about those who were rescued by the prince."

That's good. Qin Yining took a long breath and sighed: "If something happens to everyone because of me, then I will really have to live a life of guilt.

Seeing that Qin Yining was silent and didn't ask anything else, Cao Yuqing took the initiative and said: "I used to think that the prince liked your appearance, but a friend in need is a friend indeed. Now I understand the prince's sincerity towards you. Do you know that at that time, in order to stay and look for you? You, the prince, resisted more than thirty edicts, and despite the emperor's edicts urging him to return to the capital, you stayed where you were. You almost turned the entire old capital and Yangxian upside down. After it was confirmed that your body was not found. , the prince just managed to let go of his heart and took the people back to the capital."

Qin Yining felt sweet and sour in her heart when she heard this. Thinking of Pang Xiao, tears almost came out again.

"Is he okay now? The Holy Spirit didn't anger him, right? And my father and mother?"

Cao Yuqing patted her shoulder comfortingly and said: "Don't worry, everyone is fine. The prince is a man of real talent and learning, and the Holy One will still use him. How can he be touched at this moment? But you are missing. He is so thin that he seems to have peeled off a layer of skin. You don’t have to worry about your father. Although he is worried about you, he is a wise man and knows when to do the best thing. He is capable of protecting himself. of."

Qin Yining smiled happily when she heard this, but the smile squeezed out more tears. She used her sleeves to wipe away the tears and said: "I know that as long as everything is fine at home, everything will be easy."

Cao Yuqing said: "I watched you being taken away but I couldn't do anything.

I have been looking for your whereabouts these days. I sneaked into the Tatar capital but did not see you. Later I heard that Anazh Khan had been assassinated, and then soon I saw the message sent by Utkin Khan. This Only then did I know that it was you who killed Anari Khan. I have contacted your father and he asked me to find you and bring you a message. "

"What's the news?" Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing intently.

Cao Yuqing looked around and saw that at the campfire not far away, everyone was listening to the conversation with their ears bent, and couldn't help but look at Qin Yining inquiringly.

Qin Yining smiled understandingly and said, "It's okay. I rely on everyone's care and protection these days. They are all trustworthy brothers."

Uncle Arhan translated Qin Yining's words to Chagan Bala and others. The people in the Minuo tribe showed kind smiles. There were even some young men and middle-aged people who looked at Cao Yuqing and Qin Yining with shy and shy eyes. Dodge.

They had never seen such a beautiful woman before, let alone two of them appearing at once.

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Cao Yuqing knew something in her heart and whispered: "What your father means is that you don't want to go back to Dazhou now. It will be safer outside, because Wutjin Khan intends to start a war. The situation in Dazhou You also know that the Holy One does not want to fight. He is looking for the simplest way to appease Utkin Khan's anger. Therefore, if you go back, you will definitely be handed over to Utkin Khan as a murderer. That is not a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. ? So what your father means is for you to stay out for a while and wait to see the situation in the country."

Qin Yining was a little stunned after hearing this, and didn't know what to say for a while.

It was easy to see my relatives, but because of this reason I couldn't go back to my country. I was lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.

But Qin Yining also knows the importance. Now that she can know the news about her family, Pang Xiao and her parents and relatives are fine. She no longer has to worry about her family, which is a good thing after all.

"I understand." Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's fine for me to be here. Aunt Cao, please also tell my father about me."

Cao Yuqing nodded with a smile, then smiled kindly at Lu Heng and others beside her, and saluted, "My sister Yi is very grateful to you for taking care of me these days. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you."

\u0026nb--\u003e\u003e

sp; The others couldn't understand Cao Yuqing's words, but Lu Heng and Uncle Arhan could.

When Lu Heng heard Qin Yining call Cao Yuqing her aunt, he treated her as her elder. He stood up and returned the courtesy politely: "You must not be polite. We are all friends who share weal and woe. We don't care about that."

He originally wanted to follow Qin Yining and call Cao Yuqing "aunt", but Cao Yuqing was too young and beautiful, and the years seemed to be particularly fond of her, leaving no traces of wind and frost on her charming face. Lu Looking at her like this, Heng felt that Cao Yuqing was younger than him. He guessed that this person was either a junior or Qin Huaiyuan's concubine, so he didn't dare to call her casually.

Uncle Arhan's whole face turned red. Although Qin Yining was beautiful, in Uncle Arhan's eyes, she was just a beautiful little girl who could be his daughter. Cao Yuqing's beauty is different, mature and charming, full of charm. Although she is young, it is hard not to be shaken.

He waved his hands in a panic and said in poor Zhou dialect: "You're welcome, you're welcome, the princess is our clan leader, she helped us avenge her, we all support her, it is our duty to protect her!"

When Cao Yuqing saw this, she smiled and said softly: "I still have to thank you all." After saying that, she bowed again.

In this world, beautiful people have always been treated favorably. What's more, this beautiful person is so polite, gentle in conversation, and is a relative of their "tribe leader". This makes the entire Minuo tribe very receptive to Cao Yuqing. high.

The two parties were polite. The other Mino tribe members couldn't understand what they said, but they were very happy to see everyone talking happily.

Qin Yining glanced at Lu Heng and asked, "Aunt Cao, do you know any news about the Lu family?"

Lu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked at Qin Yining again, his eyes were full of softness.

Cao Yuqing was keenly aware of Lu Heng's strangeness, and she felt relieved, and said calmly: "I have been looking for you outside. I don't know much about the news in the capital, but the Lu family's affairs are too big. I’ve heard some things, but I’m not sure if they’re true.”

Hearing this, Lu Heng asked with some worry: "Did my grandfather fall ill and be replaced as the head of the Lu family?"

Cao Yuqing blinked in surprise.

Seeing Cao Yuqing's expression, Lu Heng sighed and said, "I guessed it right."

Cao Yuqing had a new understanding of Lu Heng's wisdom and couldn't help but asked curiously: "How did you guess it?"

Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "The situation in the Lu family is like that. I have angered the Holy Emperor before I came out. If I cause an assassination this time, the family will definitely push me out to take all the blame. My grandfather and I are of the same faction... …In short, if something happens to me, the change of power in the family is inevitable.”

Cao Yuqing nodded and said: "Although Mr. Lu Ge has not yet entered politics, his health is not very good now."

When Lu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but feel great pain in his heart.

Ever since he was a child, even his father had not cared much about him. The only one who truly cared for him and taught him was his grandfather! But he couldn't live up to his grandfather. Not only did he fail to fulfill his filial piety, but because of his actions, his grandfather, who was so strong, became so haggard.

Lu Heng knew that Cao Yuqing was just a euphemism.

As for "not in good health", in fact, my grandfather was probably seriously ill.

He was very clear about the entanglements of interests in the family, and as soon as his incident came out. Several of his uncles will definitely take advantage of the situation and take away his grandfather's position as head of the family. In this way, even if he could return to the Lu family alive, there would be no room for turning back.

Seeing that Lu Heng's expression was unprecedentedly depressed, Qin Yining couldn't help but enlightened: "Second Master Lu, don't worry, my Aunt Cao is always outside and knows a lot about the capital. Maybe there is something else that we don't know. . Even if there are difficulties, when we return to the capital in the future, we will find a solution together. We can conquer such a difficult desert twice, and the rest is just a matter of using our brains, so what is there to be afraid of? "

When Lu Heng heard this, his frozen heart felt like he was in a hot spring for a moment, warming him from the inside out.

There was finally some hope in his heart.

Lu Heng couldn't help but smile, his brows and eyes full of tenderness, "That's what you said."

In fact, he really wanted to ask Qin Yining, are you willing to work with me to find a solution in the future?

But in this case, he would be able to guess the answer even without asking.

Qin Yining will definitely agree to help him, because she regards him as a partner and friend, not a lover.

Cao Yuqing saw Lu Heng's expression in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Lu Heng's appearance was really similar to her before. I can’t ask for it, and I don’t want to force it, because I’m afraid that if I force it, even what I have now will be lost.
