Qin Yining followed behind Xiao Xiao to a side room. It was late at night, and in order to prevent anyone from discovering their hiding place, only a silk lamp was lit in the house, and thick blackout curtains were drawn on the doors and windows.

Two large wooden barrels of hot water have been prepared behind the screen.

Xiao Xiao helped Qin Yining to sit down behind the screen, and her big bony hands plucked the grass clippings from her hair.

"The conditions are limited, let's scrub it well, shall we? Tired of your heavy body and having to dig into the tunnel, it really makes me feel uncomfortable. ”

Qin Yining took the hot handkerchief that Xiao Xiao gave her to wipe her face, now that the situation is tense, it is not when she is poor and exquisite, and she doesn't care if she can't bathe thoroughly.

"Don't think so, the tunnel is narrow, but it's not particularly difficult to walk. What's more, it's better to be disgraced than to be hurt. ”

The coldness in Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed, "I see who dares to hurt you." ”

Qin Yining was amused by his appearance of protecting the calf, and returned the handkerchief to him, "Don't be nervous, I'm right under your nose, who has the ability to hurt me?" What's more, this time everyone is also a strong alliance, you and the Holy Lord, Dingbei Hou are all good at planning, this time the decision is the most direct and fast choice, I believe that at this time tomorrow, everything can return to calm. ”

Xiao Xiao washed the handkerchief, took Qin Yining's fair and delicate hand, and awkwardly wiped it for her.

"Anyway, with you by my side, I can be calm, if I leave you, I don't know what to do."

Qin Yining's heart swelled with warmth, and he looked at him with a smile, "It's going to be flamboyant, the man is ambitious in all directions, if you tell your soldiers to listen to what you say today, I won't obey you when I look back." ”

Xiao Xiao threw the veil away, hugged Qin Yining and bit the corner of her mouth.

"If they are not convinced, they will accept it, I just want to give you a stable life for a while."

"Lord Wang."

Without waiting for Qin Yining's answer, a subordinate outside the door whispered, "Guard Deng is back." ”

Xiao Xiao's face froze, "Got it." ”

turned around and said to Qin Yining: "It's Huzi who is back." I arranged for him to go to the palace, you sleep well in the room for a while, and I will go to the holy place to hear the situation. ”

Qin Yining said: "I'm not sleepy at all, I can't sleep with such a big thing in my heart, I'll go with you." ”

Seeing Qin Yining's resolute attitude, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Okay." Anyway, I originally planned to be with you all the time, and I resolutely didn't let you out of my sight, so let's go. ”

Qin Yining nodded, and was helped back to the conference hall.

Huzi was kneeling down on one knee and said to Li Qitian: "Fortunately, the saint is like a god, the regent is really out of the palace, and I will take someone to take the palace back." ”

"Good!" Li Qitian was a little excited, and his voice couldn't help but rise, "How is the situation in the palace?" ”

"Back to the saint, the Queen Mother was besieged and frightened, but it was fine. The queen mother was locked up in Kunning Palace, and the doors and windows were sealed with wooden planks by the king of Lijun, and the queen did not leave her to eat and drink, but fortunately, the queen mother was tenacious and not too excited, and the mother and the dragon fetus were safe and sound. ”

As soon as they heard that King Lijun had locked up the pregnant queen and refused to give her food and drink, everyone present frowned. Especially Qin Yining, as a pregnant woman, knows the hardships of pregnancy the most, and if she is cut off from eating and drinking at this time, it is easy for people to collapse. The queen is now unharmed, which shows that her temperament is also very tenacious.

Li Qitian held back a fire in his heart.

He couldn't bear all the evil deeds of King Lijun, and he just thought that he had to eat his flesh and skin to relieve his hatred!

However, now that the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain has worked, the palace has been recaptured, and it is not impossible to take the king of Lijun.

"I know. If the people around Zhenzhixi are all capable, they can return to the palace with the soldiers of the Prince of Zhongshun Mansion and the Horse Mansion many times, and I will give you a great memory here! ”

Huzi hurriedly said: "The grass people don't dare to take credit, it's really that after I enter the palace, as long as we show the banner of the saint when we encounter resistance, most of them will have the same hatred as us." It can be seen that King Lijun still has a small number of people, and most of them still respect the orthodoxy of the saint and look forward to the return of the saint! ”

What he said made Li Qitian very ironed.

In these days of displacement, everything Li Qitian had, including his life, was almost taken away. He couldn't accept the repeated loss, and now he was told that he had someone who was willing to remain loyal to him, and the joy of the news was tantamount to telling him that he had succeeded in retaking the palace.

Li Qitian stretched out his hands to help Huzi up.

Huzi was flattered and even claimed that "the grass people don't dare".

Huzi is the guard next to Xiao Xiao, and he is no longer counted as a person in the army, and he has no official rank in the court.

Seeing Li Qitian asking, Xiao Xiao asked worriedly: "How about the casualties in the palace?" ”

The people brought by Huzi this time are all cronies of Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu, except for these people, Yu Linwei, Jin Wuwei and others in the palace are also living lives, if the soldiers face the Tatars and spill blood on the battlefield, although Xiao Xiao is distressed, he will not be so impatient, but the problem is that this sacrifice is because of extraneous branches.

Huzi said: "Back to the prince, the casualties in the palace are fine, not many." ”

That's a lot.

Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu lowered their eyes at the same time, and they were very uncomfortable.

Li Qitian said with a smile: "I will reward the people who helped regain the throne this time, and those who have contributed this time will be rewarded." ”

"Thank you." Several people saluted in unison and whispered in response.

In Li Qitian's eyes, even if all the people who attacked the palace this time died, there were less than a thousand people, not to mention that these were all the elites of Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu, and it would be better to die. For a battle to regain the throne, he felt that the sacrifice of a thousand people was already very few.

Li Qitian stood with his hands in high spirits, although there were dark curtains blocking the light in front of him, but he seemed to be on the Jinluan Palace, and everything was under control.

"Today is the day of the Great Pilgrimage, have you already notified the court?"

Xiao Xiao said: "Back to the saint, I have already thought of notifying me." ”

"Good. Ladies and gentlemen! Li Qitian turned around abruptly and said proudly: "Go back to the palace with me." ”

"Yes."

After giving the order, everyone left the antechamber without hesitation.

In front of the courtyard gate, a spacious carriage has been prepared. Several elite tiger guards lined up neatly left and right.

Li Qitian boarded the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu and smiled: "Two virtuous brothers, ride with me." ”

Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu glanced at each other, did not refuse, and jumped up one after another.

Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining, who had a big belly, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, let's get in the car too." ”

Qin Yining smiled secretly in his heart, this invitation to buy people's hearts is beautiful, don't you see that the Jinghu guards seem to be very satisfied with this move.
