Return of the Swallow

Gao Delai's voice fell, and the sea was quiet. The people in the distance heard these words and were relieved to know that the other party would not do anything to the civilians. Some were still nervous in the face of the Senran army, and some were afraid that they would not keep their promises. I was worried about my family in the army.

They have lost a lot of their families and homes because of the war, and now they face powerful opponents. There is no chance of winning with a minority versus the majority.

This is also clear to Ishikawa's team.

They were wary of the foreigners' landing, and they were not convinced.On the one hand, he looked forward to Ishikawa's decision.

Minami Ishikawa noticed that everyone was constantly looking up, and his face turned purple.

Is it for fame or fame?

But now it seems that even if he immediately sacrificed his life and went to fight for a fight, once his men died, his reputation would not be good.When the other party occupied Mizusawa country, didn't he want to publicize what he had done back then?

Let alone whether the people will believe it.

The right to speak is always in the hands of the strong!

Ishikawa thought that his life and face were lost. It would be better to save his life and make another picture later.

However, if he had always been known for being brave, it would still be difficult for him to speak directly if he was softened before others.

The sweat on the top of his head slipped down the gap in the armor, and he couldn't open his eyes with the golden light of the setting sun before him. The thousands of people standing with their backs to the setting sun were still standing silently, and Ishikawa's heart suddenly became cold.

He even wondered in a daze, why did he come to this step?

Is it just because of Hideaki Sakurai?

Qin Yining said, "Da Ming Shichuan, how do you decide?"

Everyone's eyes gathered on Ishikawa's face.

Ishikawa's lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.

Qin Yining raised his hand and made a gesture.

The commander of the royal guards on the dock immediately yelled: "Ha!"

Immediately, more than a thousand guards made preparations and shouted loudly: "Ha!"

This uniform roar brought a strong shock, and hugged the people of Mizusawa country in terror. Among the more than 200 soldiers of Mizusawa country, some of them were young, and even sat on the ground.body

Ishikawa shuddered, and almost fell from the moment, the decision in his heart was blurted out under the panic.

"The first kind, the first kind, I choose the first kind!"

Gao Delai translated Ishikawa's words to Qin Yining, Qin Yining smiled, "Okay, then I will abide by the agreement, and please abide by the agreement. Tomorrow morning, you will bring your men and your family to meet Sakurai in person. I ask you to Gather the people of Mizusawa country, at least one person from each family, to attend Hideaki Sakurai's funeral!"

Want him to kowtow to Sakurai in front of the whole country?

Ishikawa was furious, and said angrily: "You don't want to be too far!"

To answer him, the guards of the palace once again let out a loud roar.

Ishikawa's mount was startled and pacing restlessly, and he took a lot of effort to stabilize his figure.

In the face of absolutely powerful force, he has no choice at all, and no room for reason.

Ishikawa felt embarrassed for a while. He just wanted to escape from this place. Before he had time to think about it, he turned his horse's head. Regardless of whether there were people in front of him, he rushed out and went straight to the mansion. As if there was a ghost chasing behind him.

The warriors and nobles also rushed to chase the horse.

Seeing that the daimyo and the samurai had all run away, the two hundred soldiers of Mizusawa Kingdom were still fighting, and immediately the birds and beasts scattered.

Qin Yining laughed mockingly, thinking that Sakurai was actually exiled by such a despicable villain, before embarking on a cry full of misery, another burst of melancholy and regret.

"Leader, it's so refreshing this time!" Liao Zhibing and Gao De came and laughed. This feeling of using only arrogance, bright swords and spears on the face, and crushing opponents with strength is simply too refreshing. Up!

At this time, a small boat slowly drew ashore.Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue walked onto the dock with the support of the guards.

Qin Yining got off the boat and saw the two with a smile: "The two gentlemen have the right time. Sooner or later, the deterrence of Ishikawa will be halved. It's really hard work for the two gentlemen."

"The signal from the princess comes in time, otherwise our journey will take some time."

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi smiled and looked around. The two turned around twice and said with a smile: "How long has their feet been on the ground. After getting off the boat, the old man feels that he is walking now."

Qin Yining giggled, "I did the same when I disembarked, and I still walk around now. It will take some time for us to get used to it after we go back."

Qin Yining turned back and told Ji Dashun: "Tell my brothers to camp on the spot and live and cook. We will not live on the boat if we have a rare chance to go ashore, right?"

"If you keep people, don't worry, the princess." Xie Yue said, "Since the princess and the Ishikawa student said that they will not disturb the people, our team should not enter the city."

"I think so too, but the food and fresh water on the boat should be replenished. We leave a few people to transport water and just take people to buy rice."

"That's good." Xu Weizhi agreed, "The prince rules the army strictly and never disturbs the people in the past. We maintain this style, and we will also allow our team to develop good habits in the future. The princess just said something. Very well, war is a matter between soldiers and has nothing to do with civilian women and children."

Qin Yining smiled, "This is what the prince often nags, I am under his influence."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Arrange everything, Xu Weizhi said: "I don't know how the prince is now. I go back to Beijing with the saint, I don't know if everything is going well."

Qin Yining thought of the board Pang Xiao had suffered, and his smile faded.

"Life is okay if you want to. The saint still has the prince to ask about the whereabouts of the treasure. But suffering is indispensable. This trip to sea is also a helpless act. It is for Sakurai's matter, why not to avoid the limelight? If everything is resolved, let's go back."

Qin Yining was totally uneasy about staying in Beijing alone.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also nodded. Seeing Qin Yining's brows furrowed, they smiled and persuaded: "The princess shouldn't worry too much. The prince is very capable of adapting to changes and has guards around him. Self-protection is enough. Secondly, things may not be as bad as we thought. Besides, our trip went smoothly, and we will return soon. When the time comes, soldiers will stand in the way and the water will be covered. As long as we work together, nothing can't be solved."

Qin Yining nodded in agreement.

She thought so too.

Although the reason is simple, it is impossible not to worry about Pang Xiao.

At this time, Pang Xiao, who was worried by Qin Yining, was not living as bad as she had imagined.

After Li Qitian returned to Beijing, he obeyed Pang Xiao's suggestion and stationed outside the city. After Baiguan welcomed Shengjia, he was completely restrained by government affairs for several days.

He was busy cleaning up the remnants of the Lu family, coping with the famine after the flood, and eager to find the treasure. He was so anxious that he couldn't tell what the night was.

In this way, Li Qitian naturally had no time to deal with Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao returned to the imperial mansion. He was originally a family of children, but now he is the only one at home, and his heart is naturally empty.

Fortunately, he knew that Qin Yining would return soon, and that his family would also live steadily in Xiyue, and he felt a little better.

In addition, Ji Zeyu often came to see him quietly, and the two exchanged information and suggestions in the court, and occasionally they could chat, and Pang Xiao's mood was also relieved.

At night, Ji Zeyu still avoided the guards and went to the outer courtyard study.

As soon as I opened the door and entered the house, I saw that the table next to the window in the side room was ready with wine and food.Pang Xiao sat cross-legged on one side, smiling and pointing to the other side: "I know you are here at this hour."

Ji Zeyu smiled slightly, and his white and handsome face was reflected by the dim light like fine, flawless jade.

"Your injury is better today?" He sat cross-legged across from Pan Xiao while talking, and took two bites with his wine bowl first.

"It's all well, no more skin trauma." Pang Xiao poured wine to Ji Zeyu, and said: "Don't eat wine on an empty stomach. Let's just chat and eat more dishes. This roast chicken is specially made according to your taste. ."

Ji Zeyu loves sweetness, and the taste of roast chicken is a bit sweet.

Pang Xiao pulled off two chicken legs and placed them in Ji Zeyu's bowl.

Ji Zeyu was not welcome. He took a big bite of the chicken legs and sighed again after a long while. "My people have found that there are more and more hungry people along the rivers. We have roast chicken to eat, but they all have gruel. Can't eat one meal a day."

Speaking of putting the chicken legs down, he sighed heavily.

Pang Xiao put aside the wine bowl, and said solemnly: "You also know that Sister Yi has some business in her hands. It's not a secret. As early as more than a month ago, Sister Yi ordered the big treasurer who accompanied her to go to the south for disaster relief. At this time, all the money in his hand has reached the bottom. It’s just that with so many mouths, it is not supported by one person’s financial resources. I also took the money to fill it with Sister Yi, but the strength is limited in the end. . To do such a thing, in fact, the best thing is to take the shot."

The following words do not have to be elaborated enough to make people feel emotional.

Where is the saint in the mood to shoot?He is going crazy for the treasure.Even if it was aimed at the Lu family, it was because of the treasure.

Both Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu knew in their hearts that Li Qitian's mind was not on the people at all.

The two were relatively silent, and it took a long time before Ji Zeyu remembered another thing.

"By the way, I heard a little bit of news. The spy next to the saint was released before you returned to Beijing. I heard that they were going to track down the whereabouts of the Qin clan. Do you have enough manpower to stay with the Qin clan? What chance does the spy on the sage have?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Xiao frowned.

"The Lord arranged for someone before I returned to Beijing?"

"Yes. The eldest princess said during a chat. She heard it at the queen mother when she entered the palace, and the news is not true or false. But you also know that although the topics of the women's chat are not marginal, they always talk about it. Something we don't know."
