Return of the Swallow

Cheng Zhixian said politely: "Xiaguan learned that the prince was coming, and immediately led the people out to greet him. The people of this county admire the prince’s character and admire the prince’s heroic achievements. Today, they have come spontaneously and want to see the prince’s demeanor. , The front of the city gate looks a little messy, so please don't blame the prince."

"Where," Pang Xiao said slightly moved, "This king has only done what should be done. If there is any battle exploits, where is this king's merits? This king listens to the instructions of the sage, and everything is properly done under the sacred will ."

Cheng Zhixian immediately said with a full face of admiration: "Prince Zhongshun is really a loyal person. He is too one-sided to be an official. Please. Please, the princess." As he said, step aside and gesture to please.

"please."

With humility, Pang Xiao walked into the city with Chengzhi County.Qin Yining followed Pang Xiao with his entourage.

The people greeted each other with great enthusiasm. Everyone was thrilled to see Pang Xiao. Some craned their necks to peek in from the periphery of the crowd, and some admired and praised Prince Zhongshun's good demeanor.

Pang Xiao moved forward and kept smiling, politely nodded to the people, which caused the people to cheer and talk even more.

Qin Yining followed behind with her eyes down, and she only felt like she was being paraded. If she hadn’t come to investigate before, knowing that the people here have deep prejudice and hostility towards Pang Xiao, I’m afraid to see them in such a situation. Really will be deceived by illusions, giving birth to pride and contentment.

But now, she only feels that the people here are difficult to provoke, and the more men deal with it is Chengzhi County, who is following Pang Xiao.

She really wanted to know how Chengzhi County gathered so many people to welcome Pang Xiao when the people resisted Pang Xiao in their hearts.

If she thinks wrong, really only a small number of people among the people are hostile, and most of them are spontaneous now, that's all.But if all of this is the operation of Chengzhi County, this person's ability is evident.

Qin Yining followed Pang Xiao to greet the people with a smile, and took the opportunity to make a rough analysis of the current situation in his heart.

Soon, the group walked to the front of the palace, Cheng Zhixian politely led Pang Xiao and his group into the palace to rest, leaving the guards outside to persuade the people to go back to rest.

As expected by Qin Yining, the people left very happy.

When Chengzhi County ordered his subordinates to do something, Qin Yining raised his eyes to look at Pang Xiao, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"The next official learned that the prince and the princess had come to this county, and specially sorted out the post office of the mansion, and even wronged the prince and princess to live here temporarily.

"Well, Chengzhi County really doesn't have to be so polite. This king can rest wherever he wants. In the past, on the battlefield, anyone on the haystack was considered an excellent treatment."

Cheng Zhixian said admiringly: "The prince is really a true hero, a true hero! The prince is dedicated to the people, and he really makes the subordinates admire him. The subordinates also understand that the prince is sympathetic to the subordinates and does not want to move the public, but now the government is ready. Also. I asked the prince to move his dignity and set it up in the mansion for the time being. The next official also prepared a table of thin wine and asked the prince to appreciate it."

"Duo Lao Cheng knows the county, but the king is here to do the work, but he wants the work to make arrangements for the county magistrate. I really don't want to go." Pang Xiao carefully looked at the county magistrate. He came here to do the work for the civilians. It is impossible for Cheng Zhixian to be ignorant. I want to see how Chengzhi County will answer.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhixian didn't take it at all. He just said humbly and respectfully: "Where, where. Picking up the prince's driving and arranging the speed, these are all matters of the official position, the prince really does not have to worry about it."

Qin Yining sneered.This person is like a slippery loach, and it seems impossible to speak directly.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao returned to the Houya, after some rectification, they went to the front hall to attend the dinner.

Originally, Chengzhi County also prepared singers, dancers, and orchestras, but Pang Xiao had been inconvenienced in filial piety and sent people out.

Chengzhi County then changed the route, introducing the county princes, careers, and elders from various families to Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao showed honor and courtesy to these people, and Qin Yining also cooperated, and the atmosphere can be enlivened by talking and laughing.Enliven the atmosphere of this dinner without singing and dancing.

After the banquet, Cheng Zhixian respectfully said, "The next official will leave. Please also ask the prince and the princess to rest early."

"Thank you, Cheng, prefect." Pang Xiao smiled and nodded, "I will ask the magistrate again tomorrow about errands."

Cheng Zhixian's performance was magnanimous, repeatedly saying yes, and then said: "It is the glory of the official to have the opportunity to be official with the prince, and please rest at ease.

Once again, Pang Xiao ordered Tang Xiu to send Cheng Zhixian out, before returning to the room to rest.

At this time, Qin Yining had changed into a half-new and not old water-green twill that she often wore at home, and her long hair had been unraveled.She sent Jiyun to rest, and sat on the edge of Babu's bed while reading a book while waiting for Pang Xiao.

In the warm and soft light, Qin Yining's long hair is too soft, and Pang Xiao's eyes are soft.

"Sister Yi. Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Qin Yining smiled and put down his book, got up and waited for Pang Xiao to wash and change clothes.

"This is really a problem in Danfu County. It's also difficult to find such a clever person for the Lu family."

"Do you also think there is something abnormal here?"

"Yes." Pang Xiao said earnestly: "I have been observing the people here. I can really tell if I really welcome or walk the way. In addition, Cheng Weimin's actions can be described as dripping water, and he is not at all tentative or provocative. Receiving the move shows the depth of this person's city. Perhaps he is ready for everything."

"Therefore, it is difficult to solve the problem of civilian husbands." Qin Yining handed the veil to Pang Xiao and wiped his face. "If you start lightly, the problem cannot be solved. In the end, the saint will blame you for your unfavorable work. But if you start heavy, It is very easy to cause dissatisfaction among the people. They don't know how to misunderstand you now. If you add a bad impression, it will probably trigger a popular uprising."

Pang Xiao also corrected his expression, "What you said is. So we have to arrange these in advance, so as not to be caught. It is difficult to deal with things that really cause civil commotion."

Fortunately for the enemy, his knife is not afraid of drinking blood.But for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Pang Xiao knew the truth that water could carry and overturn a boat. He cherished feathers very much, but he didn't want to be discredited by anyone.

After all, they had been on their way all the way, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were very tired, and they were settled after they were properly washed.

Qin Yining opened his eyes again, awakened by a voice outside the door.

"Prince, Princess, something happened outside!"

Pang Xiao jumped up, his expression did not show any impatience of lack of sleep, but seriously asked, "What's the matter?"

Outside the door, Tang Xiu's forehead was sweaty, "Master, the government office is surrounded!"

Pan Xiao looked terrified, and turned around and took Qin Yining's hand to get her up: "Sister Yi, quickly change your clothes and take everything you carry with you. The government office is surrounded." As he spoke, he moved neatly. .

Qin Yining hurriedly got up, put on the coat, and put on an overhauled cloak. There was no time to comb his hair. First, he put the small medicine bag left by the rock sugar into his arms. After thinking about it, he put on the bank note and the dagger. I found a hair band to tie my long hair.

The whole process of sorting out is just between breathing.

"Lord." Outside the door, Tang Xiu asked anxiously, "There are many people gathering outside, and they have already blocked the front and back of the mansion. They look like local people, what should we do?"

Pang Xiao stepped forward and pushed open the door of the house, and said calmly: "Don't worry, you will follow the king to the door to find out."

"Yes." Seeing that Pang Xiao was so calm, Tang Xiu immediately let go of her heart, replied in a deep voice, and followed.

Qin Yining's compartment has also been sorted out. Jiyun and Jingzhe have all heard the news, and several people followed Qin Yining's side and hurried towards the door.

At this time the gate of the palace was closed, but in the night, even if the gate was closed, it was not difficult to see the fire outside from the wall and hear the moving voices.

Pan Xiao's face became cold, and he snorted: "It's really interesting. There are also post houses in the local area. The king has come and didn't stay in the post house. Who leaked the news? These people want to block the king's door, no Instead, he came to the government office when he went to the post house, so he knew the king’s whereabouts so clearly.

Obviously, the problem lies with the people in Chengzhi County!If it is not Chengzhi County, it is the people around Chengzhi County.

Xie Yue said worriedly: "There are a lot of people listening to the voice, prince, the guards we brought are laid-back, so tigers can't stand the pack of wolves, if a mob breaks in, I'm afraid things will be difficult."

When Xie Yue's voice fell, he heard a loud noise outside the door.

"Open the door! Let Prince Zhongshun come out!"

"Yes, let the biggest official here come out!"

...

Then someone came up to shoot the door.

The door of the government office was so scared that he was almost crying, his legs were soft like noodles, lying in front of the door softly, unable to stand up even if he wanted to escape.

Jinghuwei and the royal guards were very calm, and looked back at Pang Xiao, "Master, please give orders."

Pang Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Open the door."

"Master, think twice!" Tang Xiu persuaded: "Once the door is opened, in case the other party breaks in...

"This door can't stop the people in this county. It's the same whether you open the door or not. Open the door." Pang Xiao turned around and took Qin Yining's hand, letting her stay by his side, "This king wants to see what it is. People have the courage to come and surround the prince in the middle of the night!"

"Yes!"

Infected by Pang Xiao's calmness and momentum, many people present were relieved, especially Jinghuwei. They all followed Pang Xiao and fought bloody battles on the battlefield. How big a battle has they not seen?These people are now making trouble. Compared with the unpredictable scenes of the lives and deaths of thousands of troops on the battlefield, it is almost impossible for them to fear.

The door creaked and opened.The bright torches in the hands of the people standing densely outside the door greeted their eyes in the dark night, and the dazzling ones thought that stars had fallen from the sky.

These people all held shovel, pickaxe, sickle, club and other items in their hands, and held torches in their hands, and they couldn't see the end of the crowd.

"Wang Concubine." Ji Yun supported Qin Yining's arm in surprise and completeness, "Don't leave your slave and maid's side later. With so many people, I am afraid that the people under the prince can't stop them."

"It's okay, don't worry." Qin Yining was not afraid, patted Jiyun's shoulder comfortably, and said in a low voice: "These people are not here to find us desperately to die. Since they are here in this way, they must have If you ask, let's see what their purpose is and what they ask for. If it is something that can be solved in general, as long as you give a promise, it should be fine. No matter how bad, the prince will protect us.

Jiyun nodded, "The princess, the servants are not afraid. If there is any danger later, the servants will definitely be able to protect you."

Qin Yining chuckled and said softly: "Master, ask what these people want."

Hearing Qin Yining's voice so relaxed, Pang Xiao looked back and saw that Qin Yining was still smiling relaxedly against the light of the torch, and she was not afraid at all.

Pang Xiao felt as if he was slightly scratched with a feather in his heart.
