Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining didn't expect Ji Zeyu to take the initiative to comfort her, and couldn't help but nodded gratefully.

She always felt that Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu used each other to check and balance each other. Now it seems that her subjective understanding should be wrong. Although Ji Zeyu didn't talk much, Qin Yining could appreciate his sincerity and kindness. When Ji Zeyu faced Qin Huaiyuan, his attitude was polite and respectful, and he was not as indifferent as before. This made Qin Yining have to rethink her understanding of Ji Zeyu. Preconceived...

Ji Zeyu intercepted and killed Dayan's envoy back then, and she was forced to hide in the mountains. Because of that incident, Qin Yining remembered what Ji Zeyu did until now, and his impression of him really doesn't get better. Looking at it now, maybe the relationship between Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao is not what she thinks.

Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan discussed countermeasures in a low voice.

"The entrance must continue to be excavated, but the location inside cannot be ignored."

"I'm afraid that rashly excavating the deep part of the underground palace will cause a second collapse inside. Wouldn't it be dangerous for the Holy One to be inside?"

"We can find someone who understands geology to investigate first, so as not to make mistakes."

Qin Yining listened, and couldn't help saying: "The person who is best at this kind of thing should be Captain Mo Jin?"

When Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan heard the words, they suddenly looked at Qin Yining, their eyes lit up, and they were both a little surprised.

"Sister Yi is right. Lieutenant Mojin really has this ability."

Hearing this, Lu Heng couldn't help feeling panicked, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Time is running out, where can I find someone with trustworthy character? If the character is unreliable, once the Holy Majesty and the prince are injured in the underground palace, it will What should people do when they take advantage of the void?"

In this way, Qin Yining naturally thought that Pang Xiao was seriously injured and fell into a pool of blood, and the people they arranged to sneak in were bribed by Li Qitian and only saved the Holy One. Regardless of Pang Xiao, or directly murdering Pang Xiao, he came out and attacked them. Just saying "I didn't see the prince" can send them all away.

Thinking about that scene, Qin Yining's expression became ugly.

"Uncle Lu is right, this is really not safe."

Ji Zeyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Heng, and said lightly: "It's not difficult. First go find someone who understands geology, and survey the location. As for Captain Mojin, you may not be able to find it in a short time. If you find it, let's talk about it." Find someone you can trust to do it first, if there is a way to get through the cave, I don’t need to touch Captain Jin, I will go in.”

After finishing speaking, hand over the map to Qin Huaiyuan,

Arranged vigorously.

Qin Yining's lips moved, but in the end he still didn't speak.

At the critical moment, she was willing to believe in her own judgment, and believed that Ji Zeyu had no malice towards Pang Xiao.

Seeing how weak Qin Yining looked, Lu Heng tried to persuade him, "There's Prince Concubine Ji here, you'd better go back. It won't be good if you get hurt."

Qin Yining smiled at Lu Heng, and said: "Even if I go back, I still have to worry about this place. It's also not good to rest. I don't need to do anything here, I just sit by the side."

Lu Heng frowned, and followed Qin Yining to the side where the soft seat for the sliding rod was placed. Bingtang and Jiyun were somewhat on guard against Lu Heng, supporting Qin Yining from left to right, so that Lu Heng didn't have a chance to get close to her.

Lu Heng couldn't stop the sadness and anger in his heart.

Even at this time, Qin Yining still refused to put Pang Xiao down.

She is waiting here now, not thinking about her own body, nor what other people think of her, all she wants is to get news from Pang Xiao as soon as possible, regardless of life or death.

Seeing her keep looking in the direction of the cave entrance, whenever there was a slight disturbance, she would stretch her neck to see if Pang Xiao had been rescued. Lu Heng's jealousy towards Pang Xiao was like boiling magma, which was about to kill him. The whole person was burned.

That reckless Pang Xiao, how could He De have such a beautiful woman!

It is obvious that his sincerity is no less than that of Pang Xiao. When Qin Yining was in the most dangerous and difficult time, Pang Xiao did not protect her at all. He was the one who accompanied her through life and death in the desert! Why can't Qin Yining's eyes see him!

Lu Heng stood beside Qin Yining expressionlessly, in a state of distress, with dirt on his face and head, he looked like a stone sculpture, with his fists clenched in his sleeves, his eyes were dark and scary.

Bingtang and Jiyun, who were not familiar with Lu Heng, became more defensive against Lu Heng.

Their concubine can't stand any stimulation now, and she can't even touch her. If Lu Heng did something unfavorable to Qin Yining, they wouldn't care about Lu Heng's identity. The anesthetic powder on Bingtang is not leucorrhea.

There was a lot of noise on the mountain, there were cries of pain from the wounded, and the families of ministers and generals rushed over to take advantage of the chaos, crying in grief when they saw their loved ones being injured or dead, and the soldiers were orderly under the command of Ji Zeyu The sound of people moving stones and digging with shovels and scabbards.

But looking at the commotion, Qin Yining's heart has become calmer than ever before.

She kept telling herself that Pang Xiao would be fine. With Pang Xiao's ability, he was so brave and famous in the battlefield back then, he could stop a child from crying at night. How many dangerous scenes has he never encountered? Didn't everything come to an end in the end?

Tianjizi ordered that Pang Xiao was the Emperor Ziwei Star alive, if it really was the Emperor Ziwei Star, how could he lose his life in the collapse? He hasn't conquered the world yet, and he hasn't ruled the country yet, so he won't just fall into the sand like this.

But as time passed, the sky dimmed, torches and lanterns were lit on the mountain, and the night wind gradually became colder. Qin Yining couldn't see the entrance of the imperial tomb clearly, nor could he distinguish the people in front of him through the dim lights. No matter how many times she walked, and the excavation officers and soldiers changed several times, she gradually began to lose her mind.

Tianjizi's order was mysterious and mysterious, although she respected the theory of metaphysics, she couldn't help but doubt it now. No matter how powerful Pang Xiao was, he was still a body of flesh and blood. In the exploding and collapsing underground palace, would the flames and falling stones bypass him because he was ordered by Tianjizi?

If Pang Xiao was injured and Li Qitian was still alive and healthy, Li Qitian would probably liquidate them, right? How will she keep her family and the palace at that time?

What if Pang Xiao is gone?

Qin Yining shuddered, feeling the lively movement of the two children in her womb, her mind suddenly brightened.

She couldn't let herself be vulnerable any longer. She is a mother, if she is in a panic, how can she have the ability to protect her child?

Just because she is Pang Xiao's wife, whether he is injured or gone, she should bear all his burdens and take all the responsibilities on his behalf.

Only now did Qin Yining deeply feel the pressure that Pang Xiao was under.

He is a banner, a mountain, and behind him stand his family, friends, loyal subordinates and trusted friends. He can't fall, no matter what the danger is, he must stand firm like a flag, because once he falls, it may be those behind him who will bear the storm.

Qin Yining was protected under the wings of Pang Xiao before, so maybe he didn't understand it deeply.

It was only at this moment that she understood what it meant to grit her teeth and hold back, and what it meant not to fall down no matter what.

"Bingtang, Jiyun, accompany me to rest in the carriage."

Bingtang and Jiyun were overjoyed when they heard the words, they were worried about how to persuade Qin Yining, so Qin Yining opened the mouth.

"Princess, I have already asked them to drive the carriage to the nearest flat ground just now, and I have prepared hot water and dry food."

"I know." Qin Yining said to Jiyun with a smile, "Just now you were standing next to me winking and walking around, how could I not know?"

Seeing that Qin Yining had a smiling face, Bingtang and Jiyun heaved a sigh of relief.

Bingtang said: "It's getting late, the servants will wait for you to eat first, and rest after taking the tocolytic. Don't worry, I just told Huzi that if there is any situation, let someone come and tell us. The old man I also arranged for two brothers to be next to the carriage for personal protection, you just need to take care of yourself."

Qin Yining nodded, followed Bingtang and Jiyun to rest.

Watching her walk away, Lu Heng, who was standing with Qin Huaiyuan helping to carry the stone, looked away.

All of Qin Yining's emotions did not escape the eyes of Lu Heng who had been paying attention to her. Seeing her dazed by Pang Xiao, sitting there helpless and without fighting spirit, he felt distressed and jealous. But seeing that she seemed to have figured something out, her eyes became extraordinarily firm, just like the eyes they had when they experienced so much suffering in Tartar before, he was also distressed and jealous.

Her weakness and her strength are all for Pang Xiao, and have nothing to do with him.

Although they are friends who share weal and woe, it is inconvenient to keep in touch with each other because of the difference between men and women.

It can be said that one day, even if he continues to have children, she won't care, and even if he never appears in her life again, she won't care.

Lu Heng's eyes were full of loss and resentment.

Turning around, he met Qin Huaiyuan's gentle eyes.

Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he used great self-control to control his emotions. He didn't let himself lose his composure, but said with concern: "Master Qin, it's getting late, you should also go to rest, there are still so many people here. There are many people there."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled slightly, and said, "I'm not in the way. Uncle Lu got scratches on his body and was trapped in the underground palace for a while. I think you look bad, so why don't you go to rest first?"

Lu Heng's heart couldn't help beating wildly, and he couldn't help but look away, not daring to look at Qin Huaiyuan. But when he realized what he had done, he immediately raised his eyes and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your concern."

"Don't dare to be, the old man is already white, and I can't afford to be called an uncle."

"Then I'll go overboard and call you uncle. I have a good relationship with Prince Zhongshun. You are the prince's father-in-law, so you should be called uncle."

Qin Huaiyuan looked at him faintly, and said with a smile: "Uncle's kindness, I appreciate it, but the current situation is special, and the status of you and me is very different, so I really can't trust you. Uncle is a smart person. You should understand what the old man means."
