Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining didn't wait long, and there was a rush of horseshoes from far away on the official road.

She calculated that the time was almost the same, thinking that Dayan's person in charge of escorting Pang Xiao was chasing, and she led Baiyun out of the dense forest, turned on her horse, and headed towards the official road.

Under the moonlight, the silvery white coat of Baiyun was glowing with white light, and it galloped across the grass wetted by the dew with glittering crystal light. It was like a pony horse, and the person sitting on the horse was also covered in plain brocade. With a touch of matt, it is hard to ignore.

About 20 people followed Dayan, and when they saw Qin Yining, they slowed down.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yining rode up to the front, everyone saw that it was her, and they were all surprised: "Miss Qin?"

Qin Yining nodded: "It's me, where are my father and Master Cui?"

"Really Miss Qin? Great, Anping Hou and Cui adults are behind. I will be responsible for chasing down the assassin to protect King Da Zhou. Ms. Qin is fine!" The leader thought for a while and said, "I still have to wait. You can't stay here any longer, why is Miss Qin here?"

Without waiting for Qin Yining's answer, the person said again: "I arranged for someone to protect the young lady here, and An Pinghou and his party will arrive later."

"My adults' business matters are important, so it will be a burden to my adults."

Qin Yining nodded with understanding.

These people were ordered to escort Prince Zhongshun out of the country, and they must escort Pang Xiao out of the land of the Great Yan Dynasty. If the envoys made any mistakes in the land of the Great Yan, they would make unreasonable troubles with the emperor's temperament. Ask to come.

Seeing that Qin Yining was so reasonable, he couldn't help feeling in his heart for the Qin family's good upbringing. He also saw Qin Yining sitting down in the dark and full of vigor, and felt his face hot after just a glance, so he lowered his head and dared not think any more.

One person was ordered to stay for protection, and the others continued to chase after them.

The one who was left to protect Qin Yining was a middle-aged man in his thirties who came forward to salute and stood not far away.

Qin Yining got off his horse as soon as he knew Li, and touched Bai Yun's silver mane.Bai Yun was enjoying it very much. He lowered his head and rubbed Qin Yining’s cheek. Bai Yun is like Wuyun. In addition to excellent pedigree, endurance, speed and explosiveness, they are all humane horses. Maybe their wisdom is all. It can be compared to a human being seven or eight years old.

Therefore, Qin Yining treats Bai Yun as if he wants to treat a smart child, very gentle.

In this wilderness, thanks to the presence of white clouds, she felt a little more secure.

After the lamp was full of incense, there was another clamor of horseshoes.

Qin Huaiyuan and other officials saw the white horse beside the official road and a woman in a plain dress from a distance, and they hurriedly slowed down.

Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly jumped off his horse, and the moment his feet landed on the ground, his legs felt a little soft.He was a civil servant, riding a horse and chasing him for more than six hours, his physical strength was already exhausted, but because his precious daughter was taken away and caught in the chase, he was anxious, holding his breath and clenching his teeth all the way.

After walking a few steps quickly, Qin Yining was already greeted.

Qin Huai saw that Qin Yining's clothes were neatly dressed, but her hair was a little messy. It didn't seem that she had suffered an unbearable thing and was not injured. He was finally able to breathe out.

"Sister Yi, are you okay?"

"Father, I'm okay." Qin Yining gave Qin Huaiyuan a salute. Seeing Master Cui and other officials of the Ministry of ceremonies got off their horses one by one, he said in shock: "Just now, the little prince managed to get rid of the tatars. The assassin hid me some distance, and took the guards to lead the assassin away! With the bravery of the Tatars, if Prince Pang had something to do with us in Dayan, I would be afraid to explain to the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. !"

"Tatar? What Ms. Qin said is true? How do you judge those are Tatar assassins?" Cui Wenqing asked nervously.

Qin Yining's face was pale, with tears in his eyes, and explained: "I have seen some Tatars in Liangcheng, and heard some Tatars. Only then did those people chase them anxiously, and their shouts and curses were all Tatars. Those people are all tall, different from our Dayan people, so they can be judged."

"This...the situation is really complicated, Anpinghou, look at this matter..."

Cui Wenqing and the other officials of the Ministry of ceremonies are now very tired and aches all over, their legs are worn out and the skin is worn out, and they have been running madly without touching the water, and they are about to bump into a paste. When I hear this, it involves Tatar, Dayan and Dazhou. Where can there be any opinions about the relationship between the three countries?

Qin Huaiyuan thought for a moment, and said decisively: "This matter still needs to be determined by the emperor. Even if we catch up, we won't be able to help. So we ordered the soldiers who were escorted to follow the original route. It is important that we return to Beijing immediately."

Everyone bowed their heads when they heard the words, leaving more than a dozen people to escort these adults, while the rest followed the original route of Pang Xiao leaving Beijing.

It’s just that when they came, they ran for more than six hours on horseback and whip. They were so exhausted when they returned. Naturally, it was impossible not to eat or sleep. When the speed was not as fast as that, they ran for a while on horseback. The town requisitioned several horse-drawn carriages, plus rest time, and did not return to the capital until the morning of the third day.

At this time, Pang Xiao and his party were afraid that they would have left Xi Huacheng long ago.

Due to differences between men and women along the way, Qin Yining was placed alone in a carriage, and there was no chance to talk with Qin Huaiyuan.

Until he entered the capital, Qin Huaiyuan sent the other officials to go home for repairs. If he had to enter the palace and return to the emperor, he stopped the carriage halfway, and the father and daughter got out of the carriage and walked to a place with a wide view. This is the time to speak.

"Sister Yi, are the Tatars really here to chase and kill Little Prince Pang?"

Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "I knew that my father couldn't be convinced that day."

Qin Huaiyuan had such an expression as expected, and smiled: "Although Guo Zhang Cao colluded with Tatar, he was also trying to profit for himself, but he did not lead the wolf into the house. The Cao family had already told the emperor, Guo Zhang Cao. It should be a tense moment, and it is absolutely impossible for the Tatars to assassinate Prince Pang at this time and cause him trouble."

"Father Mingjian, things are just as you said."

Qin Yining explained what Pang Xiao had arranged for him that day to pretend to be a Tatar assassin, and naturally avoided the matter between Pang Xiao and her.

Only after Qin Huaiyuan listened, there was still more complexity and clarity on the surface.

After Qin Yining said, he thought for a while and asked: "Sister Yi, what do you think of Prince Pang?"

Qin Yining originally waited seriously for Qin Huaiyuan to analyze what to do next, who knew that his father would even ask Pang Xiao.

When she thought of that person, she felt uncomfortable, and said calmly, "There is nothing to look at."

"Nothing?" Qin Huaiyuan smiled and pointed to the red bean bracelet on her wrist: "When I saw you off that day, my father didn't remember that you had this in your hand, but when you found you, you were already wearing it."

Qin Yining heard this, her pink cheeks turned red.
