Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining got up the next day and invited Mu Jinghu to Shuorenzhai to speak.

Mu Jinghu has changed into a light blue fine cotton straight, and her hair is neatly combed with a net towel, looking like an ordinary scholar.

Qin Yining ordered Jiyun to send this dress and forced him to put it on. Just like that, he was reluctant to throw away the torn clothes with patches when he came, leaving the bottom of the press box.

"Mr. Mu, please sit down." Qin Yining saw him in the study on the first floor of Shuorenzhai.

Mu Jinghu sat down in the armchair, tilted his head and looked at Qin Yining curiously.

Qin Yining thought, as Jiyun said privately, this young man was really not familiar with the world.Where can a man stare at a woman like this?

However, Mu Jinghu's eyes were very clean, and Qin Yining saw that he was only purely curious and didn't mean anything else, which made people not disgust him at all.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Did Lord Pang send you here?"

When Mu Jinghu heard it, he was a little unhappy and said: "How can that fox be qualified to send me to do something."

That fox...

Why does this sound full of sadness.

Thinking of Pang Xiao's cunning and changeable temperament, and looking at the dull and naive young man in front of him, Qin Yining felt that he had found the truth.

This may have been stunned by Pang Xiao.

"Uh, son, please forgive me for the offense. Then you were invited by Pang Zhixi?"

Mu Jinghu nodded, and said: "I lost a bet before and owed him what I owed him all these years and I didn't tell me to pay it back. I thought he had forgotten it. He suddenly found me a few days ago and said Let me protect his future daughter-in-law."

Then he looked at Qin Yining and said, "You can't think about it, why would you agree to marry that fox."

Qin Yining...

Can she say that she is speechless.

She herself didn't know how to develop such a relationship with Pang Xiao step by step.In this way, it seems that I fell into Pang Xiao’s puss carelessly one step at a time.

Qin Yining coughed, and said in embarrassment, "The little girl is grateful for the protection of a hero like Mu Gongzi."

"You haven't seen me do it again. You were in a coma that day. How do you know that I have a strong martial arts?"

Qin Yining has gradually figured out Mu Jinghu’s temperament, knowing that this is not irony, nor does it contain any other meaning, but because of his straightforward temperament, he blurted out and asked in doubt, and said with a smile: "Because Jiyun has seen the son What a patience, even though I don’t understand this, Jiyun said that you have overpowered those three in just two or three strokes."

Mu Jinghu nodded and said earnestly: "My martial arts are indeed quite powerful. The fox said to let me protect you until he captures your capital. When he strikes Dayan, there will be a relationship between me and him. Both are cleared. So tell you in advance, don't think I can protect you for the rest of your life."

How can normal people boast face to face?How can anyone say "Take Dayan" directly?

It seems that this young man is already ignorant of the world to a certain extent.I think he is a person who has been used to living alone for a long time, doesn't need to deal with people, and is very straightforward.

Qin Yining still likes to deal with such people.Because when talking to them, you don’t have to think about any verbal skills, you don’t have to guess the deep meaning of the other party’s words, just listen to the literal meaning and go straight to him.

So Qin Yining said seriously: "Yes, I understand what the son said. But during this period, can I ask the son to protect my family with him?" After thinking about it, Qin Yining added, "My family After this difficulty, there is not much left..."

Mu Jinghu looked at Qin Yining's pale face, thinking that the Qin family is the "fox" father-in-law's house, and nodded and said: "Well, who told me to be friends with that fox. I will take care of you. Yes. But it’s the same sentence. I won’t stay for long. I will go back when the gates of your capital are broken. I have a lot to do in the mountains.”

Ji Yun, who was serving on the side, couldn't help frowning. If someone said the Great Zhou Dynasty in front of her, she would have been annoyed long ago, but she wouldn't have such a good temper as Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was not angry at all, nodded and said: "Okay, the son is straightforward, and he must be a man who promises a lot of money. If this is the case, I have troubled the son recently. Although the son is here by appointment, the young woman should solemnly be here with the son. thank."

Qin Yining stood up and saluted Mu Jinghu.

Mu Jinghu thought to himself that the fox's daughter-in-law was more particular than the fox, so he smiled and repaid.

Although Qin Yining had lost too much blood and was very weak, she had to go to the mourning hall every day to give incense to the deceased relatives. Every time she saw such scenes, she would cry sadly.After a few days, people looked more and more haggard, and their eyes were blue.

As their plan unfolded, the news that the Qin family in the city of Kyoto was arranged by the emperor of the Zhou dynasty to be nearly destroyed by the assassin was known to everyone.

There is a constant stream of condolence people, including friends from the Qin family, colleagues from the courts, and righteous people who are not familiar but admire Qin Huaiyuan's noble justice.

In this way, two days later, the news of the three assassins in the Qin family who were about to be buried on the day of the deceased’s funeral was deliberately exaggerated by the recurring storm.

In this way, the emperor and Cao Guozhang who had been silent for many days were finally alarmed.

"The emperor, the minister thought that Qin Meng was too reckless in this matter, and he finally lost his usual stability. If Ling Chi the three assassins, I am afraid that Da Zhou would have a strong heart of revenge. With the surname Pang, their offensive may be even stronger." Cao Guozhang bowed his eyebrows and saluted.

The emperor walked with his hands for several times, and flicked his sleeves angrily, and said, "That Qin Meng is really confused. I didn't expect him to have this kind of desperate time. So many people were slaughtered in their family. It is indeed sad. , But he can’t completely ignore the status quo of the country! We are anxious to contact Tatar here. Not only does he not help to delay the time, but he dares to do things that irritate the people of Da Zhou! He simply doesn’t care about the rise and fall of the country. Fortunately, I still treat him as a loyal minister!"

"The emperor calms down his anger." Cao Guozhang said worriedly, "For the current plan, only the emperor himself can convince Qin Meng to dispel this idea."

The emperor nodded, but he did not make an order.

He was somewhat resistant to going to Qin's house.After all, something like that happened to the Qin family, who can be sure if an assassin is staring there?What if he rushed forward but was injured by the assassin?

So the emperor thought for a moment, but still ordered: "Call Qin Huaiyuan into the palace."

Guozhang Cao understood the emperor’s concerns after a little thought, and said clearly: "The minister is willing to go personally, so that he can persuade Qin Meng in time on the way."

"That's very good." The emperor nodded, "So you go immediately."

"Comply with the purpose." Cao Guozhang saluted and stepped back.

When there were no other people in the imperial study room, the emperor said to the back: "Gu Aiqing."

"The minister is here." An old man with white beard and hair walked out of the inner room and saluted the emperor.

This person is Gu Shixiong, the emperor's teacher who has been in politics for many years. Before he came to politics, he had also served as the prince's prince.

Because of this relationship, the emperor placed great trust in Gu Shixiong. Although the Gu family has not been known for cooking oil over the years, it is also one of the eight most wealthy families in Kyoto.

"Gu Aiqing, I ordered you to find skilled craftsmen, how about you?"

"When I returned to the emperor, everyone has been found and the work has begun. But... the emperor, the veteran thought that now the war is in chaos, and the property that the emperor has acquired in recent days is more appropriate than throwing it into the war." When Gu Shixiong spoke, his body was slightly old. Trembling.

The emperor condensed his eyebrows and said: "These properties are my normal income, and they are also what the people and businessmen of the world want to me. Besides, I have already decided how to dispose of this large sum of gold and silver. Gu Aiqing should just do his part. . Or is it that Gu Aiqing will also violate what I mean?"

The emperor recently added several taxes, severely exploited the merchants of the world, and scraped several layers of oil from the people. Now he is holding a huge amount of gold and silver in his hand.

He left this matter to his confidant, so not many people knew about it.

Seeing the emperor's insistence on this, Gu Shixiong witty salutes: "The minister dare not. The minister just wanted to go wrong. As the king of a country, the emperor has the right to decide where the money will go. No one has the right to be beaked."

"Yeah." The emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction.After another conversation with Gu Shixiong, he ordered Gu Shixiong to leave in secret.

At this time Qin Huaiyuan also entered the palace with Cao Guozhang.

Qin Huaiyuan always knew how to advance and retreat, otherwise his outstanding talent alone would not be enough to make the emperor trust him for many years.Therefore, today the emperor called Qin Huaiyuan into the palace, and Cao Guozhang first talked to Qin Huaiyuan. Coupled with his own majesty, he was extremely confident that Qin Huaiyuan would listen to his arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyuan entered the imperial study room, knelt down and cried, crying and crying the Qin family's tragic situation.

"... The emperor did not dare to obey the ministers, but the group of assassins were too rampant. Kyoto is at the feet of the emperor. Under the eyes of the emperor, the assassins of Da Zhou dared to do so, not only arranged a large number of assassins. The assassin came and ransacked the minister's house! This obviously doesn't put the majesty of the emperor in his eyes!"

"The emperor is rich in the world, and the world is overwhelming. Now that Da Zhou and Da Yan are at war again, if you treat these three people lightly at this time, wouldn't you tell the emperor that the emperor is afraid of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The minister will consider it for the emperor Longwei. It is decided that these three must be executed, and the emperor will also ask the emperor!"

The emperor was a little shaken when he heard this.

Although he was very afraid of angering the people of Da Zhou, in exchange for a more fierce offensive, his dignity still needs to be taken into account. The news that the Qin family wants to be an assassin is spread. If he blatantly stops him, he is afraid that he will be criticized behind others. .

But if the Qin family really shaved these three people, the emperor was still a little scared.

Thinking of this, the emperor thought of a compromise, smiled and helped Qin Huai get up, and said: "Qin Aiqing, I know and understand what happened to your family, but Ling Chi is too bloody and cruel. You can catch these three people and flog them in front of the grave on the day of the funeral, so as to assault you. As for Lingchi, I think it should be avoided."

ps: There are two more tonight.Please forgive me for the unstable update time due to power failure!
