Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, and stroked her cheek with a big hand, "I always knew that you were an open-minded person. I don't care about small things. I was worried that you would hold a grudge against Boss Qiu and don't want to associate with her again. ”

"It's nothing if I don't associate with her, but Brother Yan likes it very much, and Mu Gongzi has helped us a lot. The relationship is so complicated, how can it be completely severed? As for open-mindedness, I can't talk about it, I'm very stingy, I just know what's most important at the moment. ”

Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, "I don't see where you're stingy." It's also a dilemma to think that the wood is sandwiched in the middle, and I don't want him to be so dilemma. The next time I see Boss Qiu, I'll just give you a better look. ”

"Next time she comes back, maybe she will avoid Mu Gongzi." Qin Yining thought about Qiu Feishan's temperament, and couldn't help but sigh again, "She is a proud person, she has been embarrassed by Mu Gongzi twice in front of you, how can she bear it?" I don't know how sad to feel when I go back, and when I come to you again, I have to wait until her heart is completely calm and she has passed that hurdle. ”

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, convinced of Qin Yining's words.

Mu Jinghu is a kind person, of course he hopes that his friends can be happy, it seems that he will think more about Mu Jinghu in the future, and when he sees Qiu Feishan again, he will save her some face. Even Sister Yi'er can be so open-minded as a woman, does his big man still have to hold on to the past and embarrass his brother?

In the next few days, even if he was in a hurry, he had to find an opportunity to relieve Mu Jinghu.

At first, Mu Jinghu was still very resistant, but in the end, Xu was moved, and often only remained silent.

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining went to the capital all the way to the capital, and they all walked the same way as they came for disaster relief. Needless to say, the people welcomed and loved the people along the way, but also many people joined the ranks of the Pingnan Army, originally 100,000 Pingnan troops when they set off from the old capital, and when they arrived in the capital, the soldiers and horses that followed the Xiaoxiao had become 280,000.

That's a huge number!

When Li Qitian learned that Xiao Xiao had brought 280,000 horses and Chen Bingcheng down, the whole person was shocked and bounced up from the dragon chair in the imperial study, pointed to the secret agent who replied, and asked in a sharp voice:

"What? You mean, Xiao Zhixi came back with 280,000 horses! Where did he get the money to feed so many people! ”

"Back to the saint, the prince returned along the way, there have been rich squires donating money and grain, and the people are also voluntarily following, and the places that the prince has helped on the way back to Beijing are the people who have been accepted to join the army all the way back, and so far the Pingnan Army has accepted 180,000 recruits."

Li Qitian only felt deep exhaustion for a while.

The teams of princes from all over the country are now under Ji Zeyu's subordinates, and the total is only more than 100,000, and Xiao Xiao alone brought back 100,000 elites and 180,000 recruits from the Pingnan Army.

Once the owl has a rebellion, Ji Zeyu and Gao Wenliang want to resist the Tatars, who else can control the owl? Wouldn't he, the emperor, stretch his neck and wait for someone to cut it?

He seemed to have seen the picture of the handsome army breaking into the city and directly forcing the palace.

Li Qitian's clothes were soaked with sweat on his back, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The spy knelt on one knee, hung his head, and waited for Li Qitian's orders.

After a long time, Li Qicai ordered Xiong Jinshui in a dry voice, "Go, urgently summon the ministers of all ministries, I want to go to the court." ”

"Yes!" Xiong Jinshui listened to the order and rushed out.

Listening to the words of the Son of Heaven and the spies clearly, Xiong Jinshui's heart was half cold, if Prince Zhongshun came back, it was estimated that their lives would be difficult to protect if they had served the Son of Heaven closely. I thought that serving the Son of Heaven was a great thing to climb to heaven in one step, but now why do I feel more and more that I have taken a bad move?

For several days, the Tatars have been besieging the capital, Ji Zeyu's army has resisted stubbornly, and the people in the capital have been closely protected, but you can often hear the fighting and roaring on the battlefield. The Beijing Medical Center and the nearby temples are helping to treat the injured and sick, and the people often see the tragic conditions of those injuries and diseases.

It was the first time they had come into such close contact with war, and it was also the first time they had felt the shadow of death so truly. Everyone is worried, and some people feel that the capital is no longer safe, and they plan to move their families. Some people also feel that the capital is the heart of the Great Zhou, and if it is lost here, it will be useless for them to flee anywhere.

Just when people were panicking, they had already attended a small court meeting, but the Son of Heaven urgently arranged a big court meeting. Some of the officials of various ministries are still on errands, and some have already returned home, and as soon as they get the news, they immediately rush back to their homes.

The people are accustomed to seeing the calm appearance of the officials, and it is the first time that they are so anxious like this time, and many people are secretly discussing, is there something big happening in the imperial court? Are the Tatars already coming in?

Li Qitian had no time to think about anything else, and when the hundred officials gathered, he immediately said: "Xiao Zhixi has 280,000 troops, and it is expected that the troops will come to the city tomorrow." Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? You can speak freely, and I will never blame you. ”

"Saint, the old minister thinks that the prince of Zhongshun is dedicated to the country, and this time he brought troops to the king of Qin, if the prince and Dingbei Hou join forces, the Tatars will be defeated, this is really a great joy!"

"Yes, Holy Lord, only Dingbei Hou has suppressed the Tatars tightly, plus Prince Zhongshun, my Great Zhou will undoubtedly win."

Some people have always supported the position of commander of the Tiger Army, but the saint has not allowed it, but the war is scorching to the capital, and once the army is defeated, they will all be slaves to the country! At this time, it is natural to consider whether this battle can be won first, and nothing else is considered at the moment.

Li Qitian remained silent, but his slightly frowning brows and his constantly changing angle of sitting under irritability could see Xiao Xiao's disapproval.

Then someone stood up and said, "Holy Lord, do not listen to the shallow words of these people. The saint ordered the king of soldiers and horses in the world, and the matter of the loyal prince to be ordered to provide disaster relief has not been done, and he is not the commander of the Pingnan Army, but this time he brought troops here, which is really ill-intentioned! Once the wolf is lured into the house, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

These words entered Li Qitian's heart, but he did not immediately express his position.

At this time, the sturdy military general stood up, his eyes were like copper bells, and his big fists were clenched, as if he couldn't rush up and punch that man.

"Fuck your mother to lure the wolf into the room, you are still gnawing your nails under your mother's skirt when the prince is fighting with soldiers and horses! You only know how to flatter! If you have the ability, you can also carry a knife to kill the Tartars! At this time, slander Prince Zhongshun, what are your intentions! ”

"You! Reckless and reckless, how can the Holy Lord allow you to be wild! ”

"Phew! Don't provoke my relationship with the Holy Lord! ”

"Now I'm talking about Prince Zhongshun, what are you doing so much! There are only 100,000 troops in Pingnan, but Prince Zhongshun has brought back 280,000 people. If there is really no outside heart, why should you be in such a hurry to conscript! ”

"That's the people thanking the prince for saving his life, how many people the prince has saved along the way! The people wanted to repay and voluntarily followed the prince to fight the tartars, which was the appeal of the prince and the benevolence of the people. Compared to you, the silverfish who can only point fingers, even the common people who carry hoes are a hundred times stronger than you! ”

……

Seeing that the situation below was the same as a while ago, those who supported and opposed Xiao Xiao quarreled again, which was not helpful at all, Li Qitian rubbed his eyebrows irritably.

He now regretted it terribly.

If he didn't arrange for the owl to go to disaster relief, where would he have the opportunity to invite people's hearts? Now it's a good thing, not to mention that his arrangements have been stirred up, and he still has the support of the people, but he has become a bad person.

The owl was born to clash with him!

"That's enough." Li Qitian stood up, lowered his eyes and looked at the two of whom His Royal Highness Jin Luan had stopped arguing and stood with his hands down, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.

The ministers looked at each other, never before before did they see the Holy Lord go up and leave halfway.

Could it be that the Son of Heaven urgently summoned them to a court meeting, just for the sake of being loyal to the prince?

It's just that the display of Tartar is so tight, and I haven't seen the saint so anxious!

There is a smart mind, and he has already seen his taboo from Li Qitian's reaction.

It seems that compared with foreign enemies, the saint is more taboo than Prince Zhongshun.

Qin Yining was standing aside with Jiyun's hand, watching them set up a tent neatly.

In recent days, she vomited so much that she almost felt sick when she smelled the rice soup. In addition, he had to hurry again, and after a few tosses, Qin Yining was also full of exhaustion.

The camp of the 280,000 Pingnan Army stretched for miles, and I believe that Li Qitian could see their group of tide-like people clearly when he stood high above the city gate.

At this point, before the Tatars could attack and enter, everything was in time, and while Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, fatigue quickly swept in. Holding Jiyun's hand, he almost dozed off.

Xiao Xiao led people to check closely in the camp, and when he came back, Qin Yining had already laid down and slept.

Bingtang sat quietly on the side, and when he saw the curtain of the door bending over, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xiao Xiao waved his hand, first went to see Qin Yining's appearance when he was asleep, and then gave rock candy a gesture to go out and speak.

Rock Candy nodded, and followed Xiao Xiao to a place not far from the tent.

"Lord Wang? What do you command? ”

"Is the princess okay?"

"The princess looks weak, but her health is good, and with the previous recuperation, the losses when she gave birth to the two sons have been made up. It's just that this time I'm tired of traveling. It's okay to recuperate. ”

Xiao Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”

These days, he has been running in with the recruits brought back by the Pingnan Army, and he is already busy with his feet not touching the ground, but fortunately, Qin Yining doesn't need him to worry about anything.

Thinking like this, Huzi hurriedly came from outside, "Lord Wang, the news of your return to Beijing has spread, and the Son of Heaven urgently convened a great court meeting, and I don't know what was discussed at the court meeting, in short, we have not been instructed here." ”

This is also expected, Li Qitian acts like this, he will definitely think about it before opening the first net and waiting for others to jump.

Huzi said worriedly: "Lord Wang, do we have to wait for the order of the saint, or do we directly kill the Tatars and leave no armor behind?" ”
