The young man devoured it, and ate three pieces of bread with meat in a row, because Qin Yining had given him too much meat before, resulting in only bread left behind him, and the young man also ate two pieces without meat.

Qin Yining ate a piece of bread and was full, drank water, watched the young man gobble up, and thought about what kind of life he had lived over the years, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's okay, when this matter is settled, I'll arrange for you to do things by my side. You are so good, going to the countryside to farm is a bit burying you. Qin Yining gestured as he spoke, and he didn't know how much the young man could understand.

What she didn't say was that the young man was lame, his arm was broken, and he didn't know what he could recover, he could cope with the fight, but he might not be able to plant the land, and he was deaf and mute, so it was difficult to go to the countryside to ensure that he would not be bullied.

Arranging a position of guard for him by her side can be regarded as her reward for his protection.

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

Qin Yining only 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 biggest grange there is the place where Mr. Tao and his people settle down. ”

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

Meng Qin saluted and said, "Everything is under the orders of the alliance leader!" ”

Qin Yining patted him on the shoulder, took the young man and quietly entered the village, carefully avoiding the scattered pedestrians, until he came to the gate of a manor with his back to the mountain at the other end of the village.

There are several mud houses built in the manor, and the grass houses are lined up, and the fields stretch from the wooden fence all the way down the hill to the direction of the sunset, almost as far as the eye can see, enough to show the wealth of this family.

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

Qin Yining and the young man both stopped keenly, and the young man even tightened the bamboo stick in his hand, and the sharp blade was ready to be unsheathed at any time.

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

The wooden gate was pushed open, and the peasant stepped forward excitedly, bowed his hand, and whispered, "Princess! ”

Qin Yining suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Tao is here?" ”

"In, in! Mr. Tao quietly came here with our guards, this Zhuangzi is the property that the prince has already ordered Jinghuwei to procure, as soon as we enter the city, we immediately arrived here. Mr. Tao was originally worried about the safety of the princess, but he didn't know where you were robbed by the gangsters, and he was thinking of saving you! As he spoke, he looked at the young man who was following behind Qin Yining defensively.

Qin Yining smiled, and said as he walked inside: "He's not a villain, he's his own person." Where is Mr. Tao? ”

"It's in the hall."

The guards led Qin Yining and the young man inside, and met a lot of croppers along the way, all of them were very strong, although they were not as tall and long legs as Jinghuwei, but 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 also felt relieved, and there was a sense of relief that he was finally out of danger for the rest of his life.

Soon someone went in and came back.

After a while, a green-robed scribe walked out with a few people, and the person at the head was Tao Hanshan.

The most common strategists Qin Yining around him are naturally Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, but if he wants to do what he wants to do, there are naturally a lot of people under him, and not everyone is qualified to see the princess.

Tao Hanshan's status among the strategists was not as good as Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue, because there were not many opportunities to see Qin Yining. However, it can be seen from the deployment and arrangement of the owl that Tao Hanshan is also a trusted person of the owl, and he has a high status among the people around him.

"My subordinates have seen the princess!" Tao Hanshan approached, and led people to salute respectfully, and the scribes and guards behind Tao Hanshan saluted in unison.

Qin Yining hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Tao is exempt, everyone is exempt." ”

Seeing that Qin Yining still remembered herself, Tao Hanshan was very happy in her heart, and saw that she and the people beside her were all embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Princess, my subordinates will order someone to prepare a hot soup bath?" ”

"Let's settle 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 him left and right.

Tao Hanshan looked at the young man, and then said with a smile: "The princess is dedicated to the prince's affairs, but her subordinates have thought about it, so please ask the princess to move to the main hall to speak?" ”

Qin Yining walked in front with his head bowed, followed by Tao Hanshan and a few people.

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

The young man frowned and wanted to break in, and the guard said in a deep voice: "This is not the place for you to come, please ask this brother to rest." ”

The young man couldn't hear it, so he insisted on breaking in.

When the guard saw that this person was so unwilling to cooperate, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "What about you!" It's not something you can ......."

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

Tao Hanshan said suspiciously: "Princess? ”

Qin Yining said: "Don't worry, this way is thanks to his protection, otherwise I am afraid that I would have died at the hands of the mob." Besides, he can't hear or speak, and he doesn't care if he follows me. ”

Tao Hanshan looked at the young man suspiciously when he heard this.

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

Tao Hanshan seemed to analyze it for a while, and then nodded slowly: "Since it is the princess's order, let him in." ”

With a wave of his hand, the guards in front of the door immediately retreated to both sides.

Only then did the young man take the bamboo stick, and walked quickly to Qin Yining with a limp and stood still.

Qin Yining couldn't help but squint his eyes.

She followed Xiao Xiao's side, and had absolute authority in front of Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, Huzi, Tang Xiu and others. These people are Xiao Xiao's most trusted cronies, and they naturally know that the status of the princess in Xiao Xiao's mind is that they are people who often follow Qin Yining, and they all obey Qin Yining's orders, and they never have doubts about Qin Yining's command.

But the people who are in front of her now are not the same as the people who often come into contact with her.

This feeling was unfamiliar to Qin Yining, but she felt a little relieved, Mr. Tao and his subordinates were like this, which was enough to prove that the people of the were disciplined and had a fixed system to be able to accomplish great things.

Qin Yining sat down in the first place, and stretched out his hand to signal Tao Hanshan to sit as well.

Tao Hanshan turned around and ordered the rest of the people to retreat, and asked the guards to guard the front hall from a distance, and then gave Qin Yining a salute and took a seat in the first place.

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

She was kidnapped, I don't know what her situation is, isn't she crazy? What she is most worried about is that if they can't control their emotions and start killing, then they will give up all their efforts.

Tao Hanshan saw Qin Yining's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the princess, the prince is now fine, and the people are still trapped in the mansion by the mob, because many people died in front of the mansion, and most of the people in this county come from the three major clans, they are familiar with each other, extremely united, and they 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 swept over the young man behind Qin Yining, and he didn't agree that Qin Yining still had this person by his side.

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

As long as Xiao Xiao did not act impulsively, everything had room for resolution, and how to solve the problem of the people besieging the county government, she had already thought of a way to escape all the way.

At this time, Tao Hanshan was also looking at Qin Yining without a trace, and seeing Qin Yining's contemplative face, he couldn't help but remember that when he was in the palace, Qin Yining had not yet entered the door, and he had taken Qin Yining to participate in the discussion of serious matters.

If nothing else, the prince's love for the princess is undoubted. And the weight of the princess's speech in front of the prince is also very considerable.

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been some demon concubines in the country, which shows the strength of the pillow wind.

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

Tao Hanshan thought about this, his smile became a little more sincere, and he said slowly: "Princess, since my subordinates knew that something was going on in the city, they immediately took action, brought people here, and waited to meet the prince. Fortunately, the Gyeonggi camp and the five military camps are not far from here, and the subordinates have ordered people to send a letter to the five military camps quickly, and mobilize 3,000 men and horses in the name of the prince to hurry to quell the popular rebellion. ”

Tao Hanshan smiled, and his tone was not without the meaning of inviting merit.

After the sudden mob besieged the palace, Tao Hanshan was quite capable of making such a quick and thoughtful response.

It's just Tao Hanshan's words that made Qin Yining frown.

"Mr. Tao's arrangements are very proper." Qin Yining spoke slowly, causing Tao Hanshan to smile proudly.

"But Mr. does this, I am afraid that the people of Danfu County will be charged with rebellion, and the rebellion is too widespread, so it is really inappropriate to rashly mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five military camps to quell the chaos."

Tao Hanshan smiled and said in a deep voice: "The princess's words are wrong. The big things that the prince has done are now building imperial tombs in important places! If the imperial tomb cannot be built, the prince will be questioned is one of them, and what matters is the things in the stone factory today. ”

Tao Hanshan lowered his voice again, and glanced at the young man behind Qin Yining defensively, remembering that Qin Yining said that he was a deaf and dumb person, so he continued: "If the prince wants to achieve great things, those things must be obtained. If the reason for the siege of the yamen by the people of Danfu County is revealed, it will inevitably lead to the fact that the people do not come to Huichuan County, so that the matter of repairing the emperor's mausoleum will face a thorough investigation from above, and the delay in the construction period is a trivial matter, and what should be done about the things in the stone factory? ”

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

It seems that Tao Hanshan is looking forward to the work from the dragon.

Having such ambitions can't be considered a bad thing, but in order to do anything to get from the dragon's merits, this is a bit unacceptable to Qin Yining.

What Mr. Tao said is certainly reasonable. But the prince has always loved the people like a son, and at this time it is not without other solutions, to make the people of Danfu County die for the crime of rebellion, which is really a bit too much. ”
