Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining had a long and heavy nightmare.In the dream, there were constant screaming and killing, lingering bloody aura, and someone chasing behind her shouting and screaming. She was confident that she could escape, but when she stepped up, she realized that she was just A child with short hands and short legs was soon overtaken.

The moment the knife pierced her shoulder, she screamed in horror, shocked her body violently, and opened her eyes suddenly.

It hurts, my shoulder really hurts!

Looking at the elegant magnolia embroidery on the familiar light blue bed net, Qin Yining couldn't tell whether he was awake or dreaming again.

Her last memory was that the family was trapped in an impassable dead end, with a fire on one side and an assassin on the other. She leaned on her father's arm and saw Aunt Lin's desperate suicide because of her sixth and seventh sisters.

How could she go back to her bedroom?Is everyone okay?

"Girl, you are awake!" The rock candy guarding the edge of the bed said joyfully: "How do you feel?"

Qin Yining opened her mouth, only then did she feel that her throat was so dry and painful that she could not speak.

Bingtang took a small white porcelain bowl and fed her half of it with a spoon.

The water at the entrance was salty and sweet, but her throat felt a little better when it was on fire. She asked hoarsely, "How long have I slept? What day is it, and when is it?"

"Back to the girl, you have slept for a day and a night, and now it's just after the sea hour, and the maidservant got the letter back this morning. You still had a bad fever at that time, and it was because of your good health. This time is much better."

Qin Yining nodded and asked, "Who else is at home?"

Bingtang heard the words, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said: "Don't ask so much. The old lady, Lord Hou, and his wife are all right. Jiyun said that you just passed out last night, and rescuers came. There was nothing serious about everyone. Even the injured Eleventh Lord just woke up and knew he was hungry. Jiyun had several minor injuries on his body, all of which were skin and flesh injuries. It didn’t matter. I gave her medicine and asked her to first Go to bed."

"I remember that Jiyun was not injured last night." Qin Yining turned weakly to look at Bingtang.She thought, after fighting hard, Jiyun must have done a lot of effort.

As soon as Bingtang thought about what she had said to her, she still had a lingering fear, helped Qin Yining to get up, put a soft big pillow behind her, and took a bowl to continue to feed Qin Yining and drink water.

"It is said that after the group of assassins left, three masters came in quietly. At that time, Lord Hou arranged for you to temporarily settle in the study room of the outer courtyard. Only Jiyun guarded you. The martial arts of those three were too high, and Jiyun barely resisted it. The people arranged by the little prince happened to arrive before subduing the three assassins, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Pang Zhixi arranged someone?"

"Yeah, here is a young knight. He is good at martial arts. I think medical skills should be better than me. The wound medicine girl he deployed works very well. He also captured the three later assassins alive. ."

"Where is the assassin?"

"I've already given it to Master Hou. I don't know what to do with Master Hou." Bingtang put down the bowl, tried the temperature of Qin Yining's forehead, and persuaded: "The girl's injury has injured her blood vessels and left a lot of blood. In the end, it's the root cause. , You should be healthy now, and you don’t need to pay more attention to other things. Now, everything outside is discussed and handled by Master Hou, Master II and Master III. It must be done well with Master Hou’s wisdom. of."

Qin Yining closed his eyes tiredly and shook his head gently.

"This matter can't be forgotten."

"Even if you can't do that, you can't toss yourself anymore. If you don't maintain your body well, where do you have the strength to control other things?"

Qin Yining immediately wanted to deal with the matter under pressure, and whispered: "Where is my medicine? Bring it."

Bingtang heard this sentence, tears almost fell.

Qin Yining is simply the strongest woman she has ever seen.

The ordinary woman had witnessed the death of her relatives after undergoing such tragedies, and the assassin kept clamoring that she would surrender her and disturb her family without dying. Aunt Lin resented her for the death of Miss Six and Miss Seven. Hit to death.

The anger of destroying the door, the fear of chasing and killing, the complaining of relatives, and witnessing the death of close people in front of her, it is said that Songlan still took a knife to save her life...

If you change to any one, I am afraid that you will be going crazy at this time.Even if it's okay, he will certainly feel pity and weakness, waiting to rely on others.

But Qin Yining has always been very sensible, very tough, without self-pity, she has always known what she should do.

This kind of tenacity would be taken for granted if it appeared in a master mistress who had read Qianfan.

But she was just fifteen years old!

Bingtang was the same year as Qin Yining, when the Tang family was destroyed, she was sent away half a year earlier, so in the end she just heard the news and didn't see the tragedy with her own eyes.

This is so, every time she thinks about it, she can't fall asleep all night, hates and fears, and can't control her emotions at all.

If she were to experience everything Qin Yining had experienced in person, Bingtang felt that she might already be three feet tall.

After inhaling his nose, Bingtang got up and brought a bowl of finely boiled brown sugar corn porridge. He smiled and said, "Girl, you have something to eat first. This blood is good for your body. It is good for your body. Let's put it on the bottom. Use medicine again."

Qin Yining nodded, raised his feeble hands to take the bowl, and tremblingly ate the warm porridge.He took the medicine from the rock candy and drank it, and then rinsed his mouth again.

The medicine relieved the pain and calmed the nerves. Qin Yining lay on the bed, and soon became tired. Before falling asleep, he did not forget to tell Bingtang: "Go and tell my father and mother that I am fine. Take care of their bodies."

"Yes, don’t worry, girl, the treasurer Zhong has received the news and has arranged many people to come to our mansion to help. The treasurer Zhong did not go back. Listening to the dispatch of Hou Ye, you can take care of it and wait for your health. So we can do things."

Qin Yining's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, listening to Bingtang's words, this made herself fall into a deep sleep with peace of mind.

When she woke up again, it was still at night. At this time, Qin Yining felt that she had some energy. She used brown sugar japonica rice porridge, ate some boiled vegetables, and took medicine. She refused to rest anymore. Bingtang and Qiu Lu helped to get up and went downstairs to the mourning hall in the front yard.

Although it was summer night, Qin Yining was extremely chilled at this time, and when the wind blew, he felt extremely cold.

She gritted her teeth all the way, went out of the hanging flower gate, and turned into the main courtyard. She saw the courtyard covered with white and hanging elements, the spirit flags hanging high, and the goal was a plain white. There was a mouthful in the courtyard and the open-door hall. The coffin and the white paper lanterns were blown out by the wind, and the air was filled with the smell of burning paper.

Upon seeing this scene, Bingtang and Qiu Lu both felt terrified. When they thought that these people were all in vain, most of them were familiar with each other, tears couldn't help falling.

Qin Yining walked past the open coffin, only took a few glances, and then stopped to take a closer look.

After entering the mourning hall, I saw Qin Yu, Qin Han, the second master, third master, and Qin Huaiyuan all in front of the spirit.They all dressed in plain clothes and put paper money in the pots.

"Father." Qin Yining called.

Qin Huaiyuan turned around and saw Qin Yining with a pale face in plain clothes.

"How did you come?"

"I'll put a stick of incense on everyone and kowtow."

Lying in the coffin in front of Qin Yining was the third wife in a royal blue shroud.

She only glanced at it, her tears couldn't stop anymore, she knelt in front of the spirit, kowtow, and whispered: "It's my fault. I can't help everyone."

Hearing what Qin Yining said, there was a choking sound in the house.

The third master wiped his face and shook his head: "Sister Yi doesn't have to blame herself. I said earlier that this time, it was not anyone's fault. It's just that our destiny is bad and we are caught in this troubled world."

Qin Yu’s wife did not escape this time. They were young and married, and they were very affectionate. Although the Yao family had nothing to do for many years, Qin Yu was reluctant to take a concubine for her. Now the Yao family has gone, Qin Yu feels My heart was empty. After listening to the words of the three masters, he didn't speak, but just filled the set of paper money blankly.

Qin Yining is strong and unwilling to try to figure out the thoughts of her family, because even if she is hated by her family, that is what she deserves when the family is tired.

She is now concerned about another matter.

"Father, do you know where the assassin came from?"

"Yeah." Qin Huaiyuan's face was reflected by the fire, and he slowly said: "The matter has been investigated clearly. This time the assassin was sent by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and one is because of Tianjizi's criticism of your fate. The other is that they tried to assassinate the emperor. This time there were a hundred assassins in the Zhou Dynasty, and they had entered the city disguised as merchants two days ago, and they had long been spotted by the silver-faced spies and the soldiers of the five cities."

The second master, third master, Qin Yu, and Qin Han all put down the paper money in their hands and handed them to the servants around them.

There were so many people here that it was not suitable for this topic. Everyone left the front hall tacitly and went to a flower hall in the next courtyard to sit down, and arranged for someone who they trusted to guard outside.

Qin Huaiyuan said: "The group of people are very careful about this plan. First, they sent people to our house. The palace also arranged a lot of manpower. That's not a big deal, but it still has a post-recruitment. If it wasn't for Mr. Mu this time Come here in time, I am afraid that Sister Yi is no longer there now."

The second master and the third master both sighed and shook their heads.

Qin Yu asked, "Who is Lord Mu?"

Qin Huai said: "Young Master Mu was sent by Prince Pang to protect Sister Yi."

The third master was surprised: "You said, Pang Xiaowang sent someone to protect Sister Yi?"

Qin Yining knew that in front of his family at this time, half a word of concealment could easily cause misunderstanding, so he said bluntly at this time: "Yes, Pang Zhixi got the news that Emperor Zhou had ordered someone to assassinate me in Beijing, so he immediately arranged a martial arts powerful Jianghu. The valiant came to help, only the distant water put out a nearby fire. He came late and missed the first batch of assassins, but only captured the three assassins."

The second master nodded silently.

Qin Han twisted his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the opinions between Emperor Zhou and Pang Zhixi are not unified."

Qin Lengchun smiled: "I see, no matter where it is, the emperor is a virtue. They only care about their own position and do not consider the suffering of the people's livelihood at all. The fourth sister is just the kind of rumors that are not two or two. Zhou The Emperor Chao can send a NPC to assassinate so many people in our family. It is clear that he is also an arbitrarily and arbitrarily ignorant master."

Qin Yining lowered her head: "After all, I killed everyone." He took a deep breath, and before everyone could say anything to help, he turned to Qin Huaiyuan, "Father, what can you ask about the three assassins? coming?"

"They were tortured and they were already vomiting clean. It's just that the remaining assassins of the meeting were still fleeing. The people from the Qingtian League arrived in time and drove the group out, and they were all chased afterwards. Kyoto City Nowadays, under martial law, they will not go out, they will just break into pieces and hide in the city. People from the Five Cities Soldiers and Mars have searched and arrested everywhere all day long, and they have still found nothing.

"What if they are caught?" Qin Yining asked, "Has the emperor said how to deal with these people?"

Qin Huaiyuan slowly shook his head: "The emperor didn't say anything."

"Didn't say?" Qin Yining sneered and said meaningfully, "If you didn't say it, things would be difficult to handle. Father, second uncle, and third uncle, you said that with the emperor's temperament, if Da Zhou pressured him, he would not Will these assassins be returned?"

"This is too possible." Qin Han said with a heartache, "Think about the matter of the grand palace's grandson's family. Before the people of Da Zhou said anything, the emperor had already begun to slay his loyal ministers. If the emperor of the Great Zhou said casually. "Hand over these people to forgive you for not dying," and the emperor will return the people back? Then we have so many mouths, isn't it a waste of death!"

Qin Yu closed his eyes, holding the armchair tightly with both hands.

The third master thought of his eleven-year-old son and his empathetic third wife. He couldn't help but burst into tears. Such an adult cried like a lost child.

"It's my incompetence. I didn't protect your mother and your brother. If the emperor wants to let these murderers go, I, I will fight the emperor!"

"Father." Qin Han took the third master's hand, "Father, don't cry and hurt your body. My mother will never want to see you like this when she is alive. Natural disasters are inevitable, and this is not yours. Wrong, we who are alive, why have to seek justice for those who have gone, we have to bear a heavier responsibility, father, you must be calm."

The third master wiped his face with his sleeve and forced himself to control his emotions.

Qin Yining wiped her tears, and said hoarsely: "We must never let the emperor hand over the people. Whether it is the three that we have caught now or the group of people who are at large. If the group of people who are at large cannot be caught, then It is also a great hidden danger for us. If we catch them and the emperor does not allow us to kill them, then I have no choice but to think."

"It is not a wise move to directly disobey the emperor's meaning. In a frontal conflict, our family is equivalent to hitting a rock with a pebbles. We must think of a proper way to let these murderers pay their lives!"

Qin Huaiyuan asked Qin Yining, "Sister Yi, do you have a way?"

"Well," Qin Yining nodded with a firm gaze, "These servants who are soaked in the blood of the Qin family, I want their blood to pay tribute to the dead!"
