Return of the Swallow

Cao Yuqing saw Qin Yining's face full of tears, her nervous complexion pale, her slender hands held one of the arms of Mrs. Dingguo, but because the cold blade was on her neck, it seemed that she would be bloody as long as she moved an inch forward. Splashing on the spot made Qin Yining dare not move, and his complexion was extremely cold.

As early as when Qin Yining refused to kill her, she concluded that Qin Yining was not from Dingguo's wife.

Now that Mrs. Dingguo treated her harshly, it was actually the grandparents' love that didn't care about it, and Cao Yuqing was even more sure that Qin Yining had nothing to do with the Qingtian League.

If any other girl in the Qin family was kidnapped at this time, Cao Yuqing would not care about her life or death, and directly ordered people to rush to kill the chaos.

But this hostage happened to be Qin Huaiyuan's most beloved daughter.

Qin Huaiyuan had no children, so he clearly made the eyeballs of this daughter.

She was single-minded towards Qin Huaiyuan. If Qin Yining were to die at this moment, even if she was not the killer, Qin Huaiyuan would hate her. Then, would there be an insurmountable gap between her and Qin Huaiyuan?

"A loyal person like Mrs. Dingguo would turn out to be ruthless. I don't know if you involved innocent people in for your own benefit, and you want to kill your granddaughter. If Dingguo knew well, how would you feel? "Cao Yuqing's hand holding the sword has turned white.

"You members of the Cao family are the least qualified to say this." Mrs. Dingguo gritted her teeth, wishing to pounce on her flesh.

The knife in his hand moved a little closer to Qin Yining's neck: "You get out of the way and let us go out, otherwise I will kill her. It's a big deal that many young ladies will be buried with us, and it is not a loss for our Qingtian League!"

Qin Yining raised her neck and screamed in surprise, and sobbed: "Help me, help me, I don't want to die here!"

Cao Yuqing looked at Mrs. Dingguo with cold eyes, slowly raised her left hand, and stepped back. The silver-faced spy behind her also retreated, giving way to the courtyard gate.

Qin Yining secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Holding the hand of Mrs. Dingguo harder, he motioned her to go quickly.

Mrs. Dingguo immediately escorted Qin Yining and ran out with the remaining six Qingtian League members.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yuqing hurriedly led people to chase him, but when Mrs. Dingguo was dragging Qin Yining to run, the knife was still on the girl’s slender neck, blood stains were vaguely visible, and Cao Yuqing dared not be poor. Reluctant to give up, for fear that Mrs. Dingguo would really kill Qin Yining.

Going along the path lined with wooden fences, ran over a corner, and saw five horses hidden behind the haystack.That's what Mrs. Dingguo had ordered people to hide here.

"Get on the horse, hurry!" Mrs. Dingguo urged loudly.

The man immediately obeyed orders, or one horse for one person, or a combination of two.

At this time, Cao Yuqing has led people to chase him.

Dingguo Dingguo's wife scolded: "Don't come here!" The knife in her hand tightened again.

Cao Yuqing could see the madness and decisiveness in the eyes of Mrs. Dingguo, but she hesitated and did not send anyone forward.

It was the effort of breathing. Mrs. Dingguo pushed Qin Yining to the ground, turned around and took one person's hand and jumped onto the horse's back. The five horses immediately rushed to the official road.

"Chasing!" Cao Yuqing waved, and the people behind immediately chased them out.

Qin Yining lay on the ground, his palms and elbows were torn, and he was crying and shaking.

Cao Yuqing approached her in a few steps, and saw that she was too late and embarrassed. The crying Ewha was really pitiful in the rain, so she put her sword into her sheath, held her up with her hands, and asked softly, "How are you?"

Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing with tears, and the red eyes and nose were even more pitiful against the white and tender skin of the new snow.

Cao Yuqing lifted her chin to examine the wound.

A small piece of her snow-white collar was stained red with blood, and the jade neck was cut with two slits. It was obvious that she had just cut the skin under tension, and the blood was not bleeding anymore.

"Fortunately, there is no major event." Cao Yuqing sighed, and patted Qin Yining on the shoulder.

Not to mention that she is Qin Huaiyuan’s most beloved daughter. Just looking at Qin Yining’s face that is very similar to Qin Huaiyuan’s when she was young, Cao Yuqing was already cruel, thinking that this girl was brought out by her own design. It's really innocent to endure this.

"Auntie Cao, you..." Qin Yining sniffed and said, "You are so good at martial arts. Are you really the emperor's spy that my grandmother said?"

Cao Yuqing nodded.

Qin Yining asked again: "Last time the assassin assassinated the sacred driver and my father, I saw a silver-faced man rushing to rescue him, and there was a woman with excellent skills inside. Is that you?"

"Yes." Cao Yuqing nodded calmly again.

Qin Yining's heart toward Cao Yuqing's senses became extremely complicated, and finally said, "Then my father knew your identity from the beginning?"

Cao Yuqing raised her eyebrows, smiling like a flower: "Why do you say that?"

"Because you didn't hide your identity from me today."

Qin Yining lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve. "I really didn't expect my grandmother to be like this." Tears didn't wipe clean, and the rustle fell again.

Seeing her crying so pitifully, Cao Yuqing no longer had any doubts in her heart, but she put her arms around Qin Yining's shoulders to comfort her.

Not long after, I saw the dozen or so black-clothed and silver-faced men rushing back.

Without waiting for a few people, Cao Yuqing said, "Let them run away?"

"Yes." The head man bowed his head.

"I know, I will explain this to the emperor, and you will withdraw."

"Yes."

The men bowed their hands and walked back quickly.

Only then did Cao Yuqing embrace Qin Yining's shoulder and walk all the way back to the courtyard.

Someone has prepared a carriage, and there is also a face-to-face coachman waiting outside.

Bingtang and Mother Lu were both beside the carriage, looking around anxiously.Seeing Cao Yuqing and Qin Yining came back so close with their arms around their shoulders, and Qin Yining's eyes were still red and swollen while crying, the hearts of both of them jumped.

They were all knocked unconscious and don't know what happened.

But the masters on the carriage are two beauties who fall into the hands of gangsters. Even if someone saves them, they will inevitably suffer some suffering.

Bingtang’s face turned pale, but he still wanted to be calm, stepped forward to support Qin Yining and said, "Girl, you are injured!"

Qin Yining shook his head: "I'm fine."

Bingtang saw that Qin Yining's hands and elbows were broken, and there were blood stains on his neck, his face became more ugly, but Cao Yuqing was there, and he didn't ask any more.

Several people got on the carriage, and Cao Yuqing told the coachman to set off back to the Anping Hou Mansion, and leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes.The lazy and delicate appearance was the same as when he came, and even Qin Yining didn't know where Cao Yuqing had placed that sword.

Qin Yining knows that martial arts practitioners have keen senses, and a master like Cao Yuqing, if he takes a few more glances, he will definitely cause unnecessary trouble, so he just bows his head and says nothing, as if he has been wronged and frightened, but Also be strong.

Bingtang treated Qin Yining's wounds on her hands and elbows, and her heart sank to the bottom. There were several bad guesses in her heart, but she couldn't get to the bottom of it. For fear of salting Qin Yining's wounds, she could only whisper Dry words to comfort her.

In the evening, the carriage stopped in front of the Anping Hou Mansion.

Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing got out of the carriage, and Cao Yuqing smiled and said: "Fourth lady, the carriage is overwhelmed, and the maidservant went back to rest first, and the fourth lady also rested earlier." The performance was no different from usual.

Qin Yining knew that Cao Yuqing hoped that today's affairs could be kept secret.

She deliberately cried and swelled her eyes. At this time, she forced a smile and said, "Auntie go slowly, I have to go to my father's study room to borrow a book. If you take a different path, I won't go with your auntie."

Cao Yuqing raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly Qin Yining would tell her directly that she was going to see Qin Huaiyuan, "Yes, the four girls please."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, and after meeting with Cao Yuqing, they parted ways.

After entering the mansion gate, Qin Yining went straight to the study room of the outer courtyard, asked the young man, and confirmed that Qin Huaiyuan was inside, and said: "Excuse me, you can pass the information for me, so I want to borrow a book from my father. Is it convenient?"

Hearing this, the little servant smiled and happily went back to reply.

Qin Huaiyuan was sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed near the window reading a book. Hearing the reply from the next person, he felt a little strange.

Shuorenzhai has a rich collection of books. If Qin Yining wants to read any books, he has enough in Shuorenzhai.Today, Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing went to Xiangu Guan to have a meal. I am afraid that they have just returned. I am afraid that something happened on the road.

"Please come in, Miss Fourth."

Xiao Si immediately invited Qin Yining into the door respectfully.

Only when he reached the bright spot under the porch, I could see Qin Yining's embarrassed appearance through the light, and the little servant trembled, fearing that he might pry into the master's secret and cause trouble, he hung his head and stepped back.

Qin Yining left the rock candy outside and entered the house by herself.

Going around the screen of the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, Qin Yining met Qin Huaiyuan's eyes as soon as he reached the side room.

Qin Huaiyuan saw that Qin Yining's eyes were red and swollen, and he was taken aback: "Sister Yi, but she was wronged?" His first reaction was that Aunt Cao bullied his daughter.

Qin Yining took off his cloak and hung it aside, exposing his dirty dress and bandaged hands, and said, "I encountered some things when I went out today. Is it convenient for my father to talk here?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded, and looked at Qin Yining with her long eyebrows. She saw that her hands and elbows had been simply bandaged. Apart from the redness and swelling of her eyes, there was blood on her white collar!

Qin Huaiyuan left his book before putting on shoes and strode, holding Qin Yining's chin to look at her neck carefully.

"Are you hurt? Who hurt you? Cao?"

"It seems that my father has known Cao's true identity a long time ago."

Qin Yining's words caused Qin Huaiyuan to look at her in surprise, and for a long while, he said, "You know?"

"Yes."

Qin Huaiyuan curled his eyebrows and said, "Does your injury matter? Do you want to ask a doctor first? Can there be other injuries?"

"Daughter is okay, Miss Tang has already dealt with it on the way back."

Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Sit down and tell my father what is going on today."
