Return of the Swallow

Chapter 275 Murder (1)

When Qin Yining arrived in front of Ningyuan with Jiyun holding a half-old oiled paper umbrella, he saw Qitai wearing a navy blue muslin cloth and holding an oiled paper umbrella.

Seeing Qin Yining coming out, Qitai quickly put down his umbrella and saluted: "Fourth Miss."

"Get up soon, Uncle An is an old man who has been with my father for many years, but don't bow to salute like this, it's shameful to me." Qitai's family name is An.

Qitai refused to listen. After saluting respectfully, he smiled and said, "Master Hou told the villain to come and send you a letter, saying that there is something important to tell you. Lord was recruited by the emperor to speak in the palace. He is not free. I am afraid that I will be free at night. So I specially ordered the villain to come and tell you. Please wait at the foot of the mountain tonight. Lord Hou will come to see you. ."

Qin Yining nodded and smiled: "I see. Did my father say what's the matter? Why can't he take the time to visit the mountain? The old lady and the family miss his father."

"It's really too busy. To tell the truth, it's the villain who walks around with the master, and these days are busy hitting the back of the head." Qitai said and looked around, seeing that there are no outsiders, then lowered his voice, " The emperor is afraid that he has the intention of surrendering. When it comes to such major events, it will naturally involve a lot of things. Lord Hou is discussing with the emperor all day, where is the free time."

Qin Yining nodded in understanding and sighed: "I really embarrass my father. I also trouble Uncle An to take care of my father and tell him to take a rest."

"Yes, the villain will naturally pay attention."

"How good is my father? How good is Aunt Cao?" Qin Yining cared about Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing again.

Qitai smiled and said: "The master is in the army, although he is hungry and full, but it is better outside. Aunt Cao has been disguised as a man and followed the master to protect herself. The two of them are like friends and don’t talk much. , But they are very close to each other."

Qitai's words were turning around the corner to tell Qin Yining that Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing still have no marriage.

Qitai is a person who stays with his father all day, so he can't be wrong.

Qin Yining secretly breathed a sigh of relief for his mother, and smiled and said, "I know. Thank you, I will be waiting for my father at the foot of the mountain tonight."

"Okay, then the villain has left, and I have to return to Lord Hou to listen to instructions." Qitai saluted.

Qin Yining nodded and watched Qitai's back walk away, before turning around and Jiyun said, "It seems that the emperor has really decided to surrender."

Jiyun said: "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, the servant and maidservant was really relieved after hearing the news that the emperor had decided to surrender."

Qin Yining understood: "I understand. The rest is not to mention, at least once there is no more war, there is no need to besiege the city. We can also have one more way to survive. As for the righteousness of the country, it is not something you and I can consider."

"Yes, and once there is no war, the prince will definitely come to find the girl. The girl has suffered so much during this period, and the prince must be very distressed."

Ji Yun thought of Pang Xiao's importance to Qin Yining, and now only imagined that when the two meet in the future, as bystanders, they felt that the reunion scene must look very touching.

Qin Yining touched his hot ears, although his face remained unchanged, he was inexplicably excited.

Although this kind of excitement, the impending demise of the Dayan Dynasty should not come.But Qin Yining felt that the country had already been hollowed out due to the toss of the emperor's reign. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Qin Yining also knew that such imperial fortunes would not last long.

Now that she learned that Yu Chiyan had intended to surrender, Qin Yining felt a burst of lightness in her heart.

The two entered the gate of Ning Yuan and saw that the Sun family had been looking forward to it.

Qin Yining went to talk to the Sun family about Qitai's intentions, and then emphatically explained the state of Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing while defending the city.

Sun's eyebrows were soothed, and the hanging heart was let go. The irritability of enduring hunger and starvation in recent days has disappeared. He smiled and asked: "Sister Yi, you can't blame people."

"Where would I lie to you? This is what Qitai just said. He follows his father all day, and we must know more. Unless these news is Qitai coaxing me, the daughter will ensure that the relationship between father and Aunt Cao is clear. Innocent."

Sun's face was a little red, and he felt that he was so jealous that his daughter was watching. He was a little embarrassed and coughed: "You girl said, am I the kind of jealous person your mother?"

"Of course not, it's purely my daughter's worries." Qin Yining stuck out his tongue, and the amused Sun couldn't help laughing.

Although the people in the courtyard are starving, but the long drought meets the nectar, and hearing the pleasant laughter of Sun and Qin Yining, their moods are much better, and the irritability and panic are also precipitated on such a rainy day.

Qin Yining spent the day as usual.

When I arrived at Xu, I took Jiyun and Bingtang and left Ningyuan.

As soon as I went out, I saw Mu Jinghu, who was as thin as a stick and wore a light blue gown, standing with his hands behind him.

"Are you going out?" Mu Jinghu's delicate eyebrows were a bit more angular because of thinness, and his eyes were very clear.

Qin Yining nodded and smiled: "My father has something to do with me."

"Then I will follow in the dark."

Qin Yining said with some guilt: "If Mr. Mu is tired and resting in the mountains, everyone will not have enough to eat during this period. No matter how high his cultivation base is, Mr. Mu is only a mortal body. If he doesn't eat, he will be hungry. You can’t eat enough, where does the strength come from? I’m really ashamed. This time I’m just going down the mountain to meet my father and say something. You don’t have to follow it."

Mu Jinghu frowned, pondered for a moment, "This is not good, I promised the fox to protect you, don't worry, I have a sense of measure, besides, I eat better. You are fine with a little girl, I am A martial artist who is both internal and external, where can you still be weak? Or are you worried that I will overhear when I follow? Then I hide in the dark, and you will not let me come out.

"What did Master Mu say? How would I worry about eavesdropping. I'm just afraid of making you tired. That's all, if that's the case, Master Mu should hide in the dark. If something happens, listen to my secret signals."

"Good." Mu Jinghu nodded and said with a smile, "Then you go."

Qin Yining knew that Mu Jinghu naturally had his own way to follow, so he and Bingtang and Jiyun held the lantern in his hand and walked along the winding road all the way down to Changchun Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, I saw a carriage stopped on the road not far away. The dying lantern of the carriage was shaken by the night wind, and the air was filled with the fragrance of green grass after the rain, which made Qin Yining feel better again. some.

The three quickly walked towards the carriage.The people standing in front of the carriage also greeted.

Qin Yining took a closer look, but found that it was not Qin Huaiyuan who was approaching.
