Return of the Swallow

Ji Zeyu had really made up his mind, and the next day's meeting was handed in a discount.

Pang Xiao still said the same sentence: "Alan, if you want to walk around, then just go, but don't forget to come back. There is your home in the capital, your government office and title, official position, and I Keep it for you."

The high emperor said this to Ji Zeyu and claimed to be still "me".

He is not pretending to be intimate, nor is he approachable to show his tolerance. Ji Zeyu knows that Pang Xiao has always trusted and close to him sincerely.It's not like Li Qitian, who got up high after practicing Zuo, and even said a few words intimately to show others.

Ji Zeyu's eyes were hot, such a good Pang Xiao...

He hurriedly lowered his head to conceal his surging emotions, and for a long time he saluted hoarsely: "Thank you, the emperor, the minister, I am indebted."

"What are you doing so polite." Pang Xiao hurriedly lifted his arms with both hands, and sighed: "Which day can you set for your departure? Where do you want to go first? I will see you at that time."

"The imperial court is busy..."

"No matter how busy you are, there is time for this." Pang Xiao made a strong decision before Ji Zeyu finished speaking.

Ji Zeyu only felt sweet and bitter in his heart, and suddenly he didn't want to leave.

But he didn't say anything, just bowed his head in acquiescence.

After the Great Dynasty Meeting, my colleagues all expressed their regret for Ji Zeyu's decision.Although he has resigned from office, you can see the attitude of the emperor, and he also knows that even if he is an idler, he is also the emperor's brother, the most noble idler.So their attitude towards Ji Zeyu can only be closer and respectful, and they don't dare to neglect at all.

But Ji Zeyu returned to the Guogong Mansion and looked at the huge house, but felt at a loss.

The heavy burden was carried on his shoulders for too long and suddenly he was relieved, but he no longer knew how to live his life well.

Ji Zeyu wandered aimlessly in the mansion, and when he recovered, he was in the stable again.

The snow-white horse was tied proudly in the stable. Only the bone shape shows that it is different. It seems to be spiritual. When he saw Ji Zeyu, he raised his head, and the bright coat color was faint in the sun. The layer is matte and looks very beautiful.

Ji Zeyu stepped forward, Bai Yun leaned forward and lowered his head, touching Ji Zeyu's face affectionately.

Tiredly stretched his arms around the horse's neck, Ji Zeyu closed his eyes and buried his face in it.

That's it, so be it.

The next day, Honghe Temple received envoys from Nanyan.The envoy respectfully took on a bloody "great gift", which shocked the government and the public.

On the Golden Luang Temple, the two delicate brocade boxes contained two human heads that had undergone special anti-corrosion treatment. The old and the young were in peace. Everyone knew very clearly.

That was Gu Shixiong and Yu Chiyan.

"See the emperor of Daxin! The emperor of our country has always admired the talents of the emperor of Daxin. Even if he chats with his courtiers, three or five sentences will surely mention the heroic deeds of the emperor of Daxin who pacified the universe. This Wei Chiyan and Gu Shixiong are the remnants of the great swallow. I took refuge in Nanyan a few days ago, and even wanted to contact the old ministry!

"Nowadays, under the rule of the Great Xin Dynasty, the country is peaceful and the people are in peace, and the weather is smooth. The people have been able to live a stable life. How can they allow them to corrupt? The emperor of our country made a decisive decision and offered the two first class. One is to stabilize the country. The second rule also showed the Emperor Dah Sing the sincerity of our friendly friendship, and hope the emperor of Dah Sing will learn from it.

Pang Xiao looked down at the heads of Wei Chiyan and Gu Shixiong in the brocade box. He was silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "Although Yu Chiyan is the king of the country, he is also the king of a country. There is still a mausoleum in the Yan Dynasty. So let Yu Chiyan return to the tomb of the old capital of the Yan Dynasty. As for Mr. Gu Shixiong, he assisted the three emperors. Although his position is different from ours, he cannot deny his loyalty and courage. This old man has to be respected and buried. Got it."

"The emperor Shengming!" The courtiers all shouted long live.Pang Xiao's move made them admire very much.After Yu Chiyan took refuge in Li Qitian, she often confronted the emperor who was still Prince Zhongshun at the time. Now the emperor is willing to let him be buried in the tomb of Yuchi's family, and also treats Yuchiyan and Gu Shixiong with respect. It has been kindness for a hundred years.

Seeing Pang Xiao’s attitude, the envoy of Nan Yan almost shed his cold sweat, and said: "The emperor, I Nan Yan is in a corner of the coast, the country is weak, and I really have no intention of starting any disputes. Stable development."

Pang Xiao smiled, just nodded.

The envoy of Nanyan lowered his head and dared not look directly at Tianyan, and said: "So, the Emperor Daxin really does not need to be so cautious. Even if there is no Ping Nan army on the border of Nanyan, there are not dozens of warships outside Nanyan's coastal defense. Aiming at it, Nan Yan will never have a double heart for the big trend!"

The Pingnan Army is now guarding the border between the two countries in the south. The men who have just returned from the battlefield are not even the same as the ordinary soldiers. They poked at that, murderous, and they were scared when they shouted. Nan Yan's frontier army was terrified, for fear that the opponent would directly fight over.

Nan Yan was close to the sea. They thought that the sea had the final say, but who knew when it started, dozens of large and small warships approached and surrounded Nan Yan's sea frontiers.

King Nanyan really couldn't think of other ways, and then deceived Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong who had fled to Nanyan's territory, and after killing them, they offered the first level to show their sincerity, asking for peace.

Hearing that dozens of warships were surrounding Nanyan’s coastal defense, the ministers did not know what was going on.

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "These warships were those that were docked in Golden Port by the North Ji Country. The Emperor Xiandi intended to tear down the warships to build the imperial tombs. Thanks to Mr. Lu Yunlu's many operations, he saved these warships. Otherwise, my new coastal defense is still a big hidden danger. If we allocate funds to build warships, it will be difficult to find old craftsmen, and the cost will be huge. I am really grateful to Mr. Lu for his high justice."

All the courtiers suddenly realized that there was something simpler than Lu Yun who had done his best to protect these warships.But there is the thoughtful person who has guessed that the current emperor must have made a lot of effort, otherwise, even if the family power is huge, it will be difficult to transport the warship away from Golden Port with Lu Yun alone.

When the courtiers were discussing, the envoy of Nanyan was already sweating. Seeing that Pang Xiao ignored him, he hurriedly said: "The Emperor Daxin, our Emperor Nanyan has always been grateful for your life-saving grace at the beginning, and also knows the great ability of Daxin. I, Nanyan, would like to pay tribute every year and be a minister every year, and be willing to be an affiliate of Daxin."

Saying that his forehead was close to the ground, for fear that Pang Xiao wouldn't agree, his eyes shot over.

In fact, the army that has just experienced the baptism of war is the most difficult to resist.If it is really serious, the people will suffer.

Pang Xiao smiled, calmed the envoy a few words, instructed people to be entertained and not negligent, and did not make a clear statement.

And the more Pang Xiao's attitude was, the more disturbed his envoy was. When he left the capital and rushed back to Nanyan, he was worried all the way, for fear that he would be beaten by him.

Regarding Nanyan's question, the courtiers were also divided into two rows, some of whom were fighting the battle, and some who felt that the British rushed to postpone the discussion.

This topic has been discussed for half a month and there is no result.

And Qin Huaiyuan and his party have already prepared everything in this period of time.

On the outskirts of the capital thirty li, Qin Yining dressed as an ordinary lady, kneeling in front of Qin Huaiyuan, Sun and Zheng with tears in his eyes, and solemnly bowed his head.

"Father, mother, grandmother. I don't know when we will see you again when we return. Please also father, mother, and grandmother to take care of your health. Don't work too hard for the affairs of the country. My daughter is here and I will always pray for you. If you are in good health, when things are stable here, my daughter will visit you."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and stepped forward to help Qin Yining.

But Qin Yining refused to get up and choked: "If it weren't for me, my father and mother would not decide to stay in such a place and suffer. Daughters can't be filial by their side, and they have to tire their fathers and mothers. The daughter is really deprived."

"Stupid boy." Qin Huaiyuan helped Qin Yining get up and patted her on the back with a big hand, "You just stay here to teach your son and husband, and the decision for the father is not purely for you. This is also true for the father. What you want to do, where can you find the direction of your efforts for your father, and work willingly, this sense of accomplishment is so sweet, you don't have to have such a heavy heart burden."

Qin Yining nodded, holding back the tears not to let it fall.

Cao Yuqing hugged Brother Zhao’s shoulders and smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we will take good care of Brother Zhao. We will see you next time. Brother Zhao is an indomitable little man.”

Qin Yining almost couldn't help tears when he mentioned the child who was going to be separated.

Brother Zhao looked up like a small adult, "Mother."

Qin Yining squatted in front of Brother Zhao, touched his little white face, clicked the small red mole on the center of his eyebrows, and smiled.

Brother Zhao also laughed, "Mother, if someone bullies you, you come to me."

Brother Han was not convinced: "With me, no one will bully his mother!"

The two children stuck their tongues out and made faces, and the atmosphere of sadness was suddenly diminished.

At this time, Pang Xiao respectfully saluted Qin Huaiyuan and other elders, "Father-in-law, please rest assured, I will never break my promise. I will only be good to Sister Yi in this life. Now I say everything is in vain, but it will last forever. Time will prove everything I say."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and did not answer, but said: "Take care."

"Take care."

Liao Zhibing and the others have been waiting for a long time with the brothers from Qingtian League, and helped Qin Huaiyuan and his group get into the car.

Pang Xiao patted Mu Jinghu on the shoulder and said: "Wood, thank you for your hard work."

"No hard work, don't worry, I will send Uncle Qin and his party to a safe place, and then we will return to Tianji Valley."

Pang Xiao smiled and said, "With you, I am naturally relieved."

Qiu Feishan next to Mu Jinghu hugged Brother Yan, and Fang Hailing took Lian Xiaoping's hand and saluted Pang Xiao and Qin Yining together.

"Sister, we're leaving." Even Xiao Porridge's eyes were red and swollen, and he came forward to hug Qin Yining.

Qin Yining patted her on the back, still holding back her tears, and smiled: "Silly girl, don't cry. From now on is your own life. Live your life well. If you feel bad, you will come back. I said, I will always be your natal family here."

"Yeah!" Lian Xiao porridge nodded heavily, then hugged Bingtang and Jiyun, "Bingtang sister, Jiyun sister, you take care."

"So are you." Bingtang sobbed. Even after the little porridge was brought back by Qin Yining, she always liked to be with her. She also particularly cherished the little girl who could not even speak at the time. Now, they have all married. , Have their own lives.

I don't know this difference, when will I see you next time.

Everyone got into the carriage separately, Qiu Feishan also got in the carriage with Brother Yan, Mu Jinghu rode a horse and followed the motorcade, smiling and waving goodbye to Qin Yining and Pang Xiao.

"Drive!" With a whip from the driver, the team set off for the official road.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao stood in place with Brother Han.

Brother Zhao protruded half of his body out of the car window and waved his small hand vigorously to Qin Yining and Pang Xiao.

Seeing that they were really separated, Brother Han, who had just smiled and made faces, finally burst into tears with a "wow".

"Brother! Brother!" Brother Han ran after chasing for two steps, but stopped alive, covering his face and crying.

The answer to him was the same cry from Brother Zhao on the carriage.

Qin Yining endured the tears of the morning and finally fell, but still refused to put down his waving hand until the team completely disappeared from sight.

This is a quiet valley.The eyes are all green, and the wind blows, sending bursts of the unique fragrance of the grass.

A mansion was built in the valley against the mountains and rivers.

At this moment, a woman with a chubby body, half-length and not short hair, wearing a wide monastic robe, was sitting on the drunkard’s chair and shaking the fan.There are two small benches in front of her, one man and one woman sitting on the left and right facing her.The scene is a bit solemn.

"This fairy aunt has the ability to reach the heavens and earth. I know 500 years before I know 500 years later. I know what is in the emperor's heart. Can I not know? If I live, he will not allow me! It is better to sell him. Personal feelings, look, this fairy aunt is so comfortable now, and will never mix up those bad things again!"

"Master, you...you are...you lied to me so hard, so many tears were made in vain!"

Mu Jinghu's face was blue, and as soon as he finished complaining, he was slapped on his forehead by Tianjizi.

"Little bunny, my old man didn’t blame you for just caring about your good brother. Regardless of my life or death, you blame me for not being dead? In order to save Qin, I lost half of my name. Even if I count her, I still think I have killed her, and now I have to pay it back. Her man has also become the emperor. What do I need, ah? Do you have to be willing to let my old man die?"

"I didn't mean that. But is it bad to deceive Zhixi like this?"

"Not good?" Tianjizi sat up straight, "Do you know how hard it was for me to pretend to be dead at the beginning! That Qin's monkey-like monkey, with a slight flaw, I can't get out, I tell you, I It’s so easy to have the peaceful days now. If you dare to tell me, you will not be the gatekeeper of Tianjimen in the future!"

Mu Jinghu was silent.

After all, he was greatly favored by the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and he didn't want to do anything to betray him.

Qiu Feishan said: "Just listen to the master, let alone concealing the life and death of the master, it will not affect the affairs of the emperor and the queen?"

Mu Jinghu raised his eyes and looked at Tianjizi. After fighting between heaven and man for a long time, he nodded after all.

Anyway, with him watching, it is not convenient for Tianjizi to go out and continue to swindle after his fake death. I think there will be no big moths, right?

Tianjizi leaned back in the drunkard's chair again, swaying leisurely.

"Hey, you guys, don't be a fool to be the current emperor. He is much smarter than Li Qitian. Li Qitian is not the emperor's material, and he has to put green onions in his nose. Look, what is he going to do now? Life imprisonment, no survival, no death! This is also the evil result of his insistence!

"Like the original Lu family, a big family with intertwined roots, Li Qitian's idiot can actually allow it to exist? The growth of the family is a big threat to the emperor! Li Qitian does not want to dismantle and remove, and actually depends on the family. , I just pushed myself to the puppet's path, Bah!"

Tianjizi took a sip, and when he turned his head, he saw Qiu Feishan.

She slowed down her speech, but she said loudly and forcefully: "Nowadays, we will not allow a family like the Lu family to exist. We will not allow the family to be so large that it can penetrate the court in Chaozhong, because he has already witnessed this with his own eyes. His family is harmful to the court."

Qiu Feishan's complexion was a little stiff.

Tianjizi unceremoniously gave her a blank look, "Hey, some people claim to be smart, but in the end they want to dig their own graves, even if they cheat fools, they have to stop."

Mu Jinghu blinked and said, "Master, she has severed the relationship with the Qiu family. Even if the emperor wants to liquidate the Qiu family, it has nothing to do with her."

"Really? That's good." Tianjizi smiled and shook the Pu Fan, "I want to eat watermelon, eat sour pork, and eat Dongpo elbow!"

The topic changed too quickly, making Mu Jinghu stunned again.

Qiu Feishan hurriedly stood up, put on a sentence, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare." Then quickly left.

The courtyard was silent again, and Tianjizi covered his face with the fan, as if he was asleep.

Mu Jinghu stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

A round of red sun slowly jumped out of the clouds, and the sky was full of clouds, almost connecting with the golden sea in the distance.

Qin Yining looked at the two men not far away, and said nothing.

Pang Xiao curled his eyebrows and looked at Ji Zeyu in wide-sleeved white clothes: "Alan, are you really going to go to sea with a merchant ship? You want to relax, where can you go? The sea is very windy and dangerous. If you encounter a barbarian, you can’t listen. Understand what they say, wherever you look at the sea is water, what's so fun?"

Ji Zeyu smiled and raised his horse whip and said: "Even if I go to sea, I will carry this whip. If I can't come back, you will find this whip in the future, it means..."

"Nonsense!" Pang Xiao scolded angrily.

When he was looking for Qin Yining, when the situation was the most serious, Ji Zeyu gave him the whip in order to make it easier for him to dispatch his men. The soldiers of the Longxiang Army in Northern Xinjiang recognized the whip.In exchange, Pang Xiao also gave Ji Zeyu his riding whip, and Ji Zeyu just used Pang Xiao's riding whip until now.

Ji Zeyu looked back at Qin Yining not far away, smiled, took the reins from the servant behind him, and slowly walked over with the bright white horse.

Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu with complicated eyes.

"Queen Empress. I robbed this horse from you back then, and has been following me in the north and south. Now I am going to sea, so I will exchange it for you. I hope you will take care of it."

After speaking, he handed the reins to Qin Yining.

In the morning light, half of Ji Zeyu's well-knotted hands were folded in his wide sleeves and handed the reins to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining slowly raised his hand to take it.

Bai Yun seemed to know that his master was leaving. He bent down his slender horse neck and rubbed Ji Zeyu in an attachment. Ji Zeyu smiled and patted it, with a gentle smile as if he were treating his own child.

Ji Zeyu smiled.

"The empress, it is you who belong to you after all, and now it is considered to be the original owner."

"Take care." Qin Yining only said this sentence as if something was blocking his throat.

Ji Zeyu smiled and nodded, turned around and patted Pang Xiao on the shoulder. He then took his horse whip and strode towards the boat docked at the Golden Harbor. With his strength, he headed towards the large merchant ship. Several accompanying servants and guards hurriedly Satisfied Pang Xiao and Qin Yining, and quickly followed.

Watching his slender figure jump up the rope ladder from the boat, and step on the pedals a few steps to board the big boat, Pang Xiao's frown gradually stretched out and said loudly, "Be careful, come back early!"

Ji Zeyu on the ship's side didn't know if he heard it, but just waved at him.

The boatmen chanted chants, the merchant ship set sail, and as soon as the good wind blew, it drove toward the morning sea.

Qin Yining took the white horse and stood beside Pang Xiao, watching the sailing ship getting further and further away, until it turned into a black spot on the sea level before looking at each other.

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Let's go, Golden Port hasn't been here for a long time, I will take you to play for two days before going back."

Qin Yining raised her eyebrows, her big water-cut eyes were full of jokes: "Play with me, are you afraid that there will be an officer impeaching you and you are not in the court?"

"Let them go. It won't be too late for me to really delay the political affairs." With the domineering big hand, he embraced Qin Yining and walked towards Golden Port City.

Huzi behind him quickly followed with a few Jinghuwei with a quick smile.

A sea-smelling summer breeze swept across his face, brushed Qin Yining's shredded hair, brushed Pang Xiao's smiling handsome face, and brushed the grass with faint footprints behind them, making a pleasant rustle.

The morning sun has risen.

It's another brand new day.
