Return of the Swallow

King Ning turned his head and waved his hand to Shi Zi, indicating that he didn't need to follow him, so he got off Dan Chi and went straight forward, casually asking the manager: "How many people know about his coming?"

"Back to the lord, Anping Hou came from the side door in a new dress, and no one saw it. Now only you, the son and the old slave know. Even if they see him, they can’t recognize him. The old slave arranges for you. In the small study in the outer courtyard, people in this meeting are eating tea."

"Very good." The backs of King Ning and Guan disappeared at the corner.

Wang Shizi knew that he couldn't intervene in this matter, he just had to close his mouth.

Qin Huaiyuan's relationship with King Ning was not close in the past.So this time Qin Huaiyuan took the initiative to visit.

When King Ning rushed to the small study, Qin Huaiyuan had already sat in the armchair and had half a cup of tea.

Seeing Ning exchanges, Qin Huaiyuan stood up and saluted: "See the prince."

"Free gift." King Ning swept his eyes and saw the exquisite gift box on the table, as well as a half-human high-color coral bonsai on the ground.

I opened the lid of the gift box and found Yan Zhenqing's Fa Tie inside!

This kind of authentic work is hard to buy now, and Qin Huaiyuan is willing to give it away!

A fire rose in King Ning's heart, and he squinted at Qin Huaiyuan with contempt, sitting in the first position, and said coldly: "These things in Anpinghou are too precious, right?"

Qin Huaiyuan saw King Ning’s contempt for him, but he was not annoyed. He just smiled and said, “Is it okay for you to look at this Yan Zhenqing’s signature? Is the coral still bright?”

King Ning felt even more contemptuous. He thought that Qin Huaiyuan brought such a precious gift to his daughter. He didn’t want to get involved with him, and didn’t want to offend the queen because of his involvement. !

This is also called a man?

The trousers bullied by the Cao family are about to be picked off, and this cowardly bag still dare not contend with it!

Yugong, the Cao family is a scum for the country and the people.

Yu Si, Cao Guozhang persecuted the Qin family, and the demon queen once wanted to eat the meat of the Qin family's daughter.

Such a deep hatred can be tolerated, and can he give gifts with a shy face to disassociate him?

The fire in King Ning's heart seemed to be poured hot oil, and it ignited suddenly, slapped the table with his big hand, got up angrily, and said angrily:

"Anping Hou is the pillar of the court. This king thought you were also a hero before. I didn't expect you to be so timid that you would become so courageous to stay alive! What good thing is the Cao family? They trampled you under their feet. Are you still thinking that nothing will happen to you? Why, I'm afraid that this king will tire you? Asking the maidservant beside your girl to see the princess is scared and paralyzed? Qin Meng, you are also a man? I Look at you as a coward!"

King Ning was suffocated today, seeing such two expensive gifts, and seeing Qin Huaiyuan’s elegant appearance with a smile on his face after being scolded, he became even more angry, and a curse was not enough. , Pointed to Qin Huaiyuan's nose for a long time, greeted the female elders of the Qin family again, and greeted the ancestors of the Qin family again, before throwing the people out.

Qin Huaiyuan sat elegantly on the armchair and watched Wang Ning go wild, his eyes seemed to be looking at an impulsive child.

Qin Huaiyuan handed over a cup of tea at the right time until King Ning's mouth became dry.

Wang Ning almost fell the tea bowl angrily.

"Master, calm down." Qin Huaiyuan smiled.

King Ning seemed to slam a fist on the cotton, how could he encounter such a piece of hob meat!

Qin Huaiyuan said warmly: "The prince calms down his anger, rest for a while, and listen to me. I brought these two gifts, not for you."

King Ning shook his hand when he heard this, and almost fell into a cup of tea, his face flushed immediately, and he asked awkwardly, "Not for this king? Didn't you come to make the game just for your daughter?"

"The prince has misunderstood." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and turned a page of the precious handwriting. "Did the prince forget, what does Cao Guozhang love?"

King Ning reacted and murmured, "That old guy loves calligraphy, and his writing is pretty good."

"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile, "These two things are just what they like. I brought them to the prince, because they wanted the prince to take them and give them to Guozhang Cao."

When King Ning heard this, his heart felt a little suffocated.

But he learned the lesson, and did not immediately start to attack, but seriously said: "An Pinghou mean?"

"The prince also knows that nowadays the three-way army plus the soldiers and horses of the five army camps, the three thousand camps, the Shenji camp and the Gyeonggi camp, now three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers gather outside the city without a leader, and the handsome Indians hang in the air. Occupying Huacheng and fighting against Kyoto City. With so many soldiers and horses, it is naturally impossible to fight separately. To defend Kyoto, you must have a commander in charge. Who will be in charge of this handsome seal, but the emperor has not selected a candidate. "

King Ning sneered: "Brother Huang is expecting Tatar to send troops."

"The problem is that Tatar can't count on it now. As far as I know, Princess Tatar helped her younger brother as the new khan, and she regent with her horse to govern Tatar together. The old Tatar vassals were not convinced, but the little Khan was surrounded by them. They don't accept her rule, their country is in chaos, and it is impossible to send troops. What's the point of sending troops if the mountains are high and far away? The emperor will see this sooner or later."

King Ning nodded when he saw that the tatar news Qin Huaiyuan had said was the same as he had received.

Qin Huaiyuan said: "The emperor's delay in deciding the candidate for command is also in a dilemma. Now Cao Guozhang has become a Taishi again. Although the contact with Tatar is unsuccessful, the emperor does not need to toss about the candidate for this Taishi. Since Guozhang Cao has been involved in court affairs after his resurrection, the emperor will never give the military power to Guozhang Cao."

"And you are not trusted by the emperor now." Ning Wang said.

"Yeah, so Shuaiyin won't hand it over to me. The emperor must choose someone who can control and has enough prestige to command an army of 350,000. But let's also pay attention to Guo Zhang. There is no power to be elected, but the power to veto. If the emperor chooses someone, Guo Zhang Cao will only oppose him blindly, and the emperor may only compromise..."

The words have been said so clearly, even if Qin Huaiyuan didn't say the following words, King Ning would understand.

"So you asked me to please Guo Zhang?"

"It's not to please. The art of war is also tricky. The prince is a hero on the battlefield. Of course, I don't need to say much. Besides, the man can bend and stretch. At this time, he is just going to give a gift, make a mistake, show good, and let Guo Zhang relax. Being wary of you makes him feel that you can be controlled by him, so the handsome printed tiger charms of the 350,000 army are in your hands."

Qin Huaiyuan stood up at this point, bowed and bowed to King Ning, and solemnly said: "The prince, now that the country will not be the country, looking at our Great Yan Dynasty, we can command the troops and horses to defend Kyoto and let go with Pang Zhixi. You must be the one who takes the fight. If the Shuai Yin falls into the hands of those stupid people under Cao Guozhang, the Great Yan Dynasty will really be over. Therefore, in public and private, I ask the prince to go out."

King Ning looked at Qin Huaiyuan's sincere face, the previous misunderstanding of Qin Huaiyuan disappeared.

Where is this person like a soft bag?

He is a really strong man!

Moreover, he has no omissions, and he really lives up to the name of "Chi Pan An"!

I just thought that I actually pointed to someone’s nose and cursed people without a complete body. Even the ancestors were greeted by him. King Ning’s face became hot, and he coughed very unwieldy. He got up and said politely: "This king just became reckless. Don't take Anping Hou seriously."

"I can understand the anger of the prince. If it were me, it would also be angry." Qin Huaiyuan smiled.

Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan didn't care, King Ning felt relieved, so he collected the Fa Tie, nodded and said: "Okay, this king understands what you mean. But this king has another question to ask you. "

"Lord, please speak." Qin Huaiyuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.

King Ning said: "Today's matter, is that you and Miss Shang of your house set up a game for this king to drill?"

Qin Huaiyuan sneered when he heard the words, waved his hand and said: "The prince is too worried. I just heard that you invited Miss Tang to come, and the princess was killed by the queen, so she came with something on purpose."

King Ning nodded with a smile, and stopped pursuing it.

At this point, it doesn't matter to him whether he set up a situation or a coincidence.

Because King Ning saw hope.

As long as the military power is in hand, he no longer has to spare time, he can do more, at least he can do something for this country.

Qin Yining did not know that Qin Huaiyuan had gone to Ningwang's Mansion, and Qin Huaiyuan did not ask Qin Yining about matters outside.

Bingtang stayed in the Ning Palace to treat the princess, and Qin Yining lived his life peacefully with Jiyun, Songlan and Qiulu.

On the surface, the days are calm.But in fact, Qin Yining felt that this was the tranquility before the rainy season came. Her heart was hanging. She didn't know what the Cao family would be, whether they would continue to persecute the Qin family, and she was not sure about the contradiction between King Ning and Cao family. Will King Ning be allowed to help the Qin family?

She has done everything she can do, and now she has nothing but resignation.

But the next night, when she heard the message sent by the treasurer Zhong Da, Qin Yining immediately felt cold when she learned that King Ning had gone to Cao's house to apologize.

It seemed that King Ning was also afraid of the imperial power and the Cao family.

At this point of view, it is indeed not a good choice for the Cao Jia needle to Maimang, and Lord Ning can be regarded as able to bend and stretch.

But what about their family?

Qin Yining couldn't fall asleep that night, lying in the mosquito net holding the fan under the wind. I don't know whether it was because of his irritability, or because of the sultry heat in the summer. Some sleepiness.

Just when she fell asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of a gong ringing outside.

Qin Yining opened his eyes with a sharp spirit, and heard someone yelling: "It's running water! It's running water!"

With a heartbeat, Qin Yining hurriedly dropped his shoes on the floor and headed to the terrace outside the attic.

At this time, the girls and servants who lived in Shuorenzhai also woke up and gathered on the terrace and window to look out.

Seeing the direction of Xingning Garden, there was already a fire.

"Sister Si, here, what's going on! Those yards are no longer inhabited, why are they running?!" The Eighth Miss took Qin Yining's hand in disbelief.
