Qin Yining didn't wait long, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance on the official road.

She calculated that the time was about the same, thinking that it was the person who was in charge of escorting Xiao Xiao that Dayan was chasing, so she led Bai Yun out of the dense forest, turned on his horse, and went in the direction of the official road.

Under the moonlight, the white clouds' silvery coat is glowing with a layer of white light, speeding on the dew-soaked and glittering grass, like a divine horse, and the person sitting on the horse is dressed in plain brocade and has a faint matte light, which is difficult to ignore.

There were about twenty people who caught up with Da Yan, and when they saw Qin Yining, they all slowed down.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yining rode his horse to the front, and everyone saw that it was her, and they all said in surprise: "Miss Qin? ”

Qin Yining bowed: "It's me, what about my father and Master Cui?" ”

"Is it really Miss Qin? Great, Marquis Anping and Master Cui are behind, and we are responsible for chasing the assassins to protect the prince of Great Zhou. Miss Qin is fine! The leader thought for a moment and said, "I still have important things to do, I can't stay here longer, why is Miss Qin here?" ”

Without waiting for Qin Yining to answer, the man said again: "I will arrange for someone to protect Miss here, and An Pinghou and his party will arrive later." ”

"The adult's business is important, so there will be Master Lao."

Qin Yining's jaw head understood.

These people were ordered to escort Prince Zhongshun out of the country, and they must escort Xiao Xiao out of the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, if the envoys have any mistakes in the territory of the Great Yan, they will make any unreasonable demands with the temperament of the Great Zhou Emperor.

Seeing that Qin Yining was so reasonable, that person couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the Qin family's good upbringing, and saw Qin Yining sitting upright at night, and felt that his face was hot just by looking at it, and he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He ordered one of them to stay behind for protection, and the rest continued to ride their horses and chase after them.

The one who was left to protect Qin Yining was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who came forward to salute and stood not far away.

Qin Yining saw that he knew the courtesy, so he also dismounted, and touched the white cloud and silver mane. Bai Yun was very enjoyable, lowered his head and rubbed Qin Yining's cheek, Bai Yun is the same as Wuyun, in addition to excellent bloodline, endurance, speed and explosiveness, they are also the same very human horses, maybe their wisdom can be compared to a human seven or eight year old child.

It was Qin Yining who treated Bai Yun and wanted to treat a smart child, very gentle.

In this wilderness, it was also thanks to the presence of white clouds that made her feel a little more secure.

After a long time of incense, there was another noise of horses' hooves.

Qin Huaiyuan and other officials saw the white horse next to the official road and the woman in a plain dress from a distance, and they all hurriedly slowed down.

Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly jumped off the horse, and the moment his feet landed, his legs were a little weak. He was a Wenchen, and he chased after him for more than six hours, and his physical strength was already exhausted, but he was anxious because his baby daughter was taken away and fell into the pursuit, and he gritted his teeth and persevered all the way.

After walking a few steps, Qin Yining had already greeted him.

Qin Huai saw that Qin Yining was neatly dressed, but his long hair was a little messy, as if he had suffered something unbearable, and he was not injured, so he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister Yi'er, are you okay?"

"Father, I'm fine." Qin Yining gave Qin Huai a salute, and when he saw Master Cui and other officials of the Ministry of Rites dismounting crookedly one by one, he said in shock: "Just now, the little prince easily shook off those Tatar assassins some distance, hid me, and led the assassins away with his guards!" The Tatars are so brave, if something happens to the little prince in our Dayan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty! ”

"Tatars? Is what Miss Qin said true? How can you tell if those are Tatar assassins? Cui Wenqing asked nervously.

Qin Yining's face was pale, as if there were tears in his eyes, and explained: "I once saw some Tatars in Liangcheng, and heard some Tatars, but those people were in a hurry to chase after them, and the shouting and scolding were all Tatar, and those people were all tall, and they were different from our Dayan people's figures, so it can be judged." ”

"This ...... The situation is really complicated, Anpinghou, look at this matter......"

Cui Wenqing and the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are now tired and hurting all over their bodies, their legs are worn out of the skin, not to mention, they have been running wildly without touching the rice, and they are about to be bumped into a pulp.

Qin Huaiyuan thought for a while, and immediately said: "This matter still needs to be decided by the emperor, even if we catch up, we can't help, so we will order the soldiers who escorted us to pursue according to the original route, and it is important for us to return to Beijing immediately." ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads, leaving more than a dozen people to escort these adults, and the rest chased after them according to the original route of leaving Beijing.

It's just that when they came, they ran for more than six hours, and when they returned, everyone was so tired, it was naturally impossible not to eat or sleep, and the speed was not as fast as when they were up, so they rode their horses and ran for a while, and when they met a small town at dawn, they requisitioned several carriages, and with the time to rest in between, they did not return to the capital until the morning of the third day.

At this time, I am afraid that Xiao Xiao and his party have already walked out of Xihua City.

Due to the difference between men and women along the way, Qin Yining was placed in a carriage alone, and there was no chance to talk to Qin Huaiyuan in detail.

It wasn't until he entered the capital that Qin Huaiyuan sent the rest of the officials home to repair, and he wanted to enter the palace to go back to the emperor, so he parked the carriage halfway, and the father and daughter got out of the car and walked to a place with a wide field of vision, so they had time to speak.

"Sister Yi'er, did the Tatars really come to hunt down and kill the little prince?"

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "I knew that my father's words that day would not be fully believed. ”

Qin Huaiyuan had such an expression and said with a smile: "Although Cao Guozhang colluded with the Tatars, he also wanted to make profits for himself, but he didn't lure wolves into the room. The Cao family had already told the emperor about that incident, and Cao Guozhang should be at a tense moment, and it was absolutely impossible to allow the Tatars to assassinate the little prince at this time and cause trouble for himself. ”

"Father Mingjian, things are just as you said."

Qin Yining explained the matter of arranging for his own person to pretend to be a Tatar assassin that day, and naturally avoided the matter between Xiao Xiao and her in his words.

It's just that Qin Huai listened to it from afar, and his face was still a little more complicated and clear.

After Qin Yining said it, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister Yi'er, what do you think of the little prince?" ”

Qin Yining was originally waiting for Qin Huaiyuan to analyze what to do next, but who knew that his father would ask Xiao Xiao.

As soon as she thought of that person, she became uncomfortable, and forced her composure to say, "I don't see anything about it." ”

"Nothing?" Qin Huaiyuan smiled and pointed to the red bean bracelet on her wrist: "When I saw you off that day, my father didn't remember that you had this in your hand, but when I found you, you were already wearing it." ”

When Qin Yining heard this, his cheeks turned red.
