Return of the Swallow

Chapter 272: Falling (4)

"Father-in-law calmed down his anger." Seeing Qin Huaiyuan's real anger, Pang Xiao immediately knelt down without saying a word, ignoring his status as a prince king and the commander of the Tiger Ben Army.

"Father-in-law is angry, no matter how he reprimands him, don't say such heart-stirring words. I know that my sister and son will suffer from this war. Not only sister Yi, but the people will also suffer. That’s why I forcibly invited my father-in-law to come today.

"Father-in-law is a person who knows well and knows how to calculate, how can he not know that my son-in-law is involuntary? You love the people, and sister Yi, you can do whatever you call me. Don't say that I don't cherish her anymore. , I’m now heartbroken."

Pang Xiao knelt down, the more he talked about it, the lower he was, but Qin Huaiyuan didn't blame him for being angry.

He just heard Huzi describe the tragic situation in Kyoto City, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, and then think about Qin Yining in such an environment, his body injury is still not healed, and he has to starve all day, he has already been heartbroken. , Let alone Qin Huaiyuan staying in it all day?

Qin Huaiyuan looked down at Pang Xiao, not knowing what to do with him for a while.

From the point of view of the country, this man is a sinner who wants to beat Dayan.

From a personal point of view, this man is an outstanding young man, with both talents and appearance. He is sincere to his daughter and is plotting and conquering it. Not only does he show his strategy, but he also has a kindness. The love for the people can be seen from the fact that he resisted the decree and refused to slaughter the city.

Qin Huaiyuan sat down wearily, rubbed his forehead and said, "How is Xi Huacheng now."

How clever is Pang Xiao, when Qin Huaiyuan asked such a question, he knew that his father-in-law was not so angry that he didn't want to admit him again. This was because he wanted to give him a chance.

Pang Xiao said immediately: "Xi Huacheng is all well."

"But what I heard was that Xi Huacheng had ten rooms and nine empty spaces. The people were all killed by your tiger and armies. They picked their heads on high poles as lanterns." Qin Huaiyuan sneered, "Are you fooling me?"

"Father-in-law Mingjian, that's just a way to disturb the enemy." In fact, it was to save his wife, but Pang Xiao wouldn't say that if he killed him.

Huzi, who was kneeling on the side, also explained: "Going back to Master Qin, my prince did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those people in front of Xihua’s gate were all bad deeds in the city. After entering the city, the prince made an unannounced visit. , I wrote down all those who were called by the common people as being rich and unkind, such as why and what hell, and once their crimes are verified, they will be severely sentenced."

"It turns out that you are here to fight for justice." Qin Huaiyuan's anger has disappeared a lot, but looking at Pang Xiao still awkward, he simply turned his face to the side and refused to look at him.

Seeing this, Pang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that his son-in-law's identity could be kept 80%. He quickly kowtowed his head again and said, "My father-in-law, my son-in-law will never dare to do detrimental things. But war is war. Let's stand. In different camps, there are always times when you can't help yourself."

Pang Xiao knelt and straightened, observing Qin Huaiyuan's expression, and seeing that he was not unhappy, then continued: "As in the heart of father-in-law, hasn't he given up the heart of defending the city for the sake of the people?"

Qin Huaiyuan sighed softly when he heard the words.

On the one hand, whether the Dayan royal family can continue to dominate this territory, on the other hand, the people of the territory have sacrificed because of the power of the position. How could he not have this idea?It's just that he is also a sloppy person after all, and he can't be this early bird.

"Get up, as the prince, the commander-in-chief of the first army, it is nothing to kneel when you see the old man."

Don’t kneel, don’t let your breath goIf I saw your old man put on a score, can I continue to talk about this!

Pang Xiao slandered inwardly, but he was relieved, stood up, went to show his face, and smiled: "My father-in-law has been in a coma for a day and hasn't eaten yet. Let's eat the noodles first. Let's continue talking."

Qin Huaiyuan had no appetite at all. After people were hungry for a long time, his stomach seemed to become smaller and he didn't have such a big appetite.

But looking at the noodles that Pang Xiao brought, the noodle soup was transparent, the noodles were slender and even, and the noodles were sprinkled with green vegetables and green onions. The fragrance was fragrant, which was extremely appetizing.

Qin Huaiyuan couldn’t help the prince of a big Zhou always carry a bowl for himself. He took it and took a sip of the soup with a spoon. The mouth was refreshing, fresh and salty, and could not help but arouse the appetite. .

Seeing that Lao Zhangren was willing to eat the noodles he cooked, Pang Xiao let go of his heart again.

When Qin Huaiyuan finished eating the noodles, Hu Zi brought another bowl of tea and said, "Master Qin, please use it."

Qin Huaiyuan rinsed his mouth, then said: "This noodle is cooked well."

"Father-in-law feels good, that is the blessing of this noodles, sister Yi also likes to eat the noodles I cooked." Pang Xiao thought of Qin Yining, and the smile on his face became soft.

"You cooked it?"

"Yes, my son-in-law had a restaurant at home before he joined the army. I like to cook. I learned a few tricks from my grandfather and the chef he invited."

"Yeah." Qin Huaiyuan looked down and thought, Pang Xiao had already expressed his sincerity very clearly, and he could no longer continue to present his identity. One is that it is useless to the two countries, and the other is that he is afraid of wronging his daughter. , What if Sister Yi still has affection for this kid?Nor can they mix up their good things.

Qin Huaiyuan stood up and said solemnly: "Just now I'm speaking as a private person. Let's talk about business now. The prince invites the official to come today. Is there something important?"

Pang Xiao praised the old man's wit, which reduced the scenes just now to personal grievances, and did not affect the relationship between the two countries in the least.

He was so happy that he took out a thick letter from Huai and said, "Master Qin, I invite you to come here privately today to find a way to survive for the people here. Please read this letter."

Qin Huai took it strangely, and at first glance the handwriting on the envelope changed its color.

Qin Huaiyuan has never forgotten the ability to remember, and the handwriting of his colleagues can be distinguished seven or eight eighty-eight. The handwriting of this envelope clearly belongs to Li Mian of Anguo!

Considering An Guogong's attitude towards the war, he had already guessed a bit of the content of the letter, and hurriedly opened the letter and read it at a glance.

This is a letter of submission.

The general content is that as long as the Prince Zhongshun said a word and agreed a time, Anguo was willing to open the city gate to welcome the tiger army to Beijing. He was also willing to cut off the head of the Taishi Qin Huaiyuan to avenge the Prince Zhongshun and express his surrender. Sincerity.

The most important thing is that at the end of the vote, a long list is entered.

In this list, each name is a blood book, and each name has a different handwriting. There is a handprint behind each name.

It turned out to include 90% of Dayan's generals and nearly half of his ministers!

Qin Huaiyuan smiled sadly, how would he fight this battle?Can't fight anymore!

"I see." Qin Huaiyuan calmly put the letter in the envelope, "This letter will be presented to Huang Yulan by this official."

Pang Xiao nodded and said, "Teacher Qin don't worry. This king promises that he will not kill anyone in vain." He promised not to kill the people.It is also guaranteeing not to kill Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Huaiyuan laughed, "This official can naturally trust the prince, since you can bring this official out, then send me back."
