Return of the Swallow

The young man devoured the food and ate three pancakes with meat in it. Because Qin Yining had given him too much meat earlier, only pancakes were left. The young man also ate two pancakes without meat.

Qin Yining was full after eating a piece of cake, drank water, and watched the young man devouring the food. Thinking about what kind of life he had lived these years, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's okay. When this matter is resolved, I will arrange for you to work by my side. With your good skills, going to the countryside to farm will be a bit of a waste for you." Qin Yining said while gesticulating, and he didn't know whether the young man could understand it. How many.

What she didn't say was that the young man was lame and his arm was broken, and she didn't know how he would recover. He could handle fighting, but he might not be able to farm. In addition, he was deaf and mute, so there was no guarantee that he would not be raped when he went to the countryside. Bully.

Arranging a guard position for him next to her can be regarded as a reward for her love for him.

The young man wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and pursed his lips. There was still a dimple on his right cheek.

Qin Yining just thought he agreed.

With Meng Qin leading the way, they returned to the outskirts of the county in the evening.

Meng Qin pointed to the village not far away and said, "The largest farm there is where Mr. Tao and his people settled down."

Qin Yining thought for a while and then said: "Meng Qin, I want to keep you nearby to observe and respond at any time. I don't know what you want."

Meng Qin saluted seriously and said: "Everything must be obeyed by the alliance leader!"

Qin Yining patted him on the shoulder and took the young man quietly into the village, carefully avoiding the scattered pedestrians, until he arrived at the door of a manor at the other end of the village, backed by a mountain.

Several mud-tile houses were built in the manor, and thatched houses were lined up in rows. The fields extended from outside the wooden fence all the way down the mountain towards the sunset, almost as far as the eye could see, which was enough to see the wealth of this family.

Almost as soon as Qin Yining came to the gate, a tall, middle-aged farmer wearing a khaki coat saw her behind the door.

Qin Yining and the young man both stopped sharply, and the young man clenched the bamboo stick in his hand tightly, ready to unsheath the sharp blade at any time.

Unexpectedly, a low-pitched exclamation suddenly came from inside the door, "It's you!"

The wooden gate was pushed open, and the farmer came forward excitedly, bowed his hands and said in a low voice: "Princess!"

Qin Yining suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his voice and said, "Is Mr. Tao here?"

"Here, here! Mr. Tao came here quietly with a group of our guards. This Zhuangzi is a property that the prince has already ordered the elite tiger guards to buy. As soon as we entered the city, we arrived here immediately. Mr. Tao was originally worried about the princess. It's safe. I don't know where you were robbed by the gangsters. I'm trying to find a way to save you!" He said and looked at the young man following Qin Yining defensively.

Qin Yining smiled and said as he walked inside: "He is not a villain, he is one of our own. Where is Mr. Tao?"

"He's in the main room."

The guards led Qin Yining and the young man inside. They met many farmers along the way. All of them were very strong. Although they were not as tall and long as the Jinghu Guards, they were all strong men. These people were extremely respectful when they saw Qin Yining, and they obviously recognized Qin Yining.

Although Qin Yining didn't know them, he felt relieved and felt relieved that he was finally out of danger.

Soon someone went in to report back.

Not long after, a green-robed scribe came out quickly with several people, and the leader was none other than Tao Hanshan.

The most common counselors Qin Yining around Pang Xiao are naturally Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, but if Pang Xiao wants to carry out what he wants to do, he naturally has a lot of people under his command, and not everyone is qualified to see the princess.

Tao Hanshan's status among counselors was not as good as that of Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue, so he had few opportunities to meet Qin Yining. But it can be seen from Pang Xiao's deployment and arrangements that Tao Hanshan is also a person whom Pang Xiao trusts and has a high status among the people around him.

"I have seen the princess!" Tao Hanshan came forward and led others to salute respectfully. The scribes and guards behind Tao Hanshan all saluted in unison.

Qin Yining quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Tao, no courtesy, everyone."

Seeing that Qin Yining still remembered him, Tao Hanshan was very happy. Seeing that she and the people around her were in a mess, he hurriedly said: "Princess, are you going to order someone to prepare hot water for bathing?"

"Let's discuss the matter." Qin Yining smiled, "Take advantage of this time to ask someone to prepare clothes for me and this brother." Qin Yining was referring to the young man who had been following behind him.

Tao Hanshan looked at the young man carefully, and then he accepted the order and said with a smile: "The princess is only focused on the prince's affairs, but my subordinates have misunderstood. Then please ask the princess to move to the main hall to talk?"

Qin Yining nodded and walked in front, followed by Tao Hanshan and others.

The young man hurriedly followed suit, but was stopped by Tao Hanshan's guards in front of the main hall.

The young man frowned and tried to force his way in. The guard said solemnly, "This is not a place for you. Please ask this brother to rest."

The young man couldn't hear it and insisted on breaking in.

When the guard saw that this man was so unwilling to cooperate, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "I'm talking about you! This is not what you can..."

"Let him come in." Qin Yining noticed the movement in front of the door.

Tao Hanshan asked doubtfully: "Princess?"

Qin Yining said: "It doesn't matter. Thanks to his protection along the way, otherwise I might have died at the hands of the mob. Besides, he can't hear or tell, so it doesn't matter if he follows me."

Tao Hanshan looked at the young man suspiciously after hearing this.

The guard in front of the door still stretched out his hand to stop the young man, but did not obey Qin Yining's words.

Tao Hanshan seemed to analyze it for a while before slowly nodding: "Since it is the princess's order, let him come in."

With a wave of his hand, the guards in front of the door immediately moved aside.

The young man then took the bamboo stick and limped quickly to stand behind Qin Yining.

Qin Yining couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

She follows Pang Xiao and has absolute authority in front of Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, Hu Zi, Tang Xiu and others. These people are Pang Xiao's most trusted cronies, and they naturally know the status of the princess in Pang Xiao's mind. Therefore, those who often follow Qin Yining obey Qin Yining's orders and never have any doubts about Qin Yining's command.

But the people in front of her now were different from the people she often came into contact with.

This feeling was unfamiliar to Qin Yining, but she felt a little relieved that Mr. Tao and his men were like this, which proved that Pang Xiao's people were very disciplined and had a fixed system to accomplish great things.

Qin Yining sat down at the first place and extended his hand to motion for Tao Hanshan to sit down too.

Tao Hanshan turned around and ordered the others to retreat, and asked the guards to guard the front hall from a distance. Then he bowed to Qin Yining and took his seat first.

"What's the situation in the city now?" Qin Yining asked what he was most worried about.

She was kidnapped. Pang Xiao didn't know what her condition was, so he wasn't crazy? What she was most worried about was that Pang Xiao couldn't control his emotions and went on a killing spree, and then all their previous efforts would be wasted.

Tao Hanshan saw Qin Yining's worry and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, the prince is fine now. He is still trapped in the government office by the mob, because many people died in front of the government office, and most of the people in this county come from three major clans." , they are familiar with each other and are extremely united, so their emotions are even more excited than before, and they have been forcing the prince to write a letter of guarantee, but the prince has not responded. "

When Tao Hanshan spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the young man behind Qin Yining, and he disapproved of the fact that Qin Yining still had this person by his side.

Qin Yining was relieved when he heard this.

As long as Pang Xiao didn't act impulsively, everything could be solved. Moreover, she had already thought of a way to solve the problem of people besieging the county government while she was escaping.

At this time, Tao Hanshan was also looking at Qin Yining without any trace. Seeing Qin Yining's face looking thoughtful, he couldn't help but remember that when he was in the palace, before Qin Yining came in, Pang Xiao had brought Qin Yining to participate in the discussion of business matters.

If nothing else, there is no doubt about the prince's love for the princess. And the weight of the princess' words in front of the prince is also very considerable.

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been some demon concubines who have troubled the country, which shows how powerful the pillow trend is.

No matter how well he behaves outside, if the prince doesn't know the details, how can he know his benefits?

When Tao Hanshan thought about this, his smile became more sincere, and he said slowly: "Princess, my subordinates knew that something happened in the city, so they immediately took action and brought people here to wait to meet the prince. The people assigned by the prince to work everywhere have been notified one by one by their subordinates and ordered to rush back immediately. Fortunately, the Gyeonggi Camp and the Fifth Army Camp are not far from here, and the subordinates have ordered people to rush to the fifth army camp to deliver the message to the prince. In the name of the people, three thousand troops were mobilized and came quickly to quell the civil uprising."

Tao Hanshan smiled and his tone meant to take credit.

After a sudden mob besieged the government office, Tao Hanshan was quite capable of responding so quickly and thoughtfully.

But Tao Hanshan's words made Qin Yining frown.

"Mr. Tao's arrangements are all in place." Qin Yining spoke slowly, causing Tao Hanshan to smile proudly.

"But if you act like this, the people of Danford County will probably be accused of treason. The treason is so implicated that it is inappropriate to so hastily mobilize troops from the fifth military camp to quell the chaos."

Tao Hanshan's smile faded and he said in a deep voice: "What the princess said is wrong. The important thing for the prince to do now is to build the imperial mausoleum! If the imperial mausoleum is not built, the prince will be accused. One of the important things is the stone. Things from the factory.”

Tao Hanshan lowered his voice again, and glanced defensively at the young man behind Qin Yining. He remembered that Qin Yining said that he was a deaf-mute, and then continued: "If the prince wants to become a big thing, he must get those things. If you can get the pill, Exposing the reason why the people of Fu County besieged the Yamen will inevitably lead to the fact that the people did not come to Huichuan County. In this way, the construction of the imperial mausoleum will face a thorough investigation from above. The delay in the construction period is a trivial matter, but the things in the stone quarry should be what to do?"

In a few words, she understood Tao Hanshan's ambition.

It seems that Tao Hanshan is looking forward to the success of Conglong.

Having such ambitions cannot be considered a bad thing, but doing whatever it takes to gain the power of the dragon is somewhat unacceptable to Qin Yining.

"What Mr. Tao said is certainly reasonable. However, the prince has always loved the people like his own son. Besides, there are no other solutions at this time. To kill the people of Danford County for the crime of treason is really too much."
