When Qin Yining took Jiyun to the front of Ning Yuan with a half-used oil-paper umbrella, he saw Qitai wearing a royal blue muslin and holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Seeing Qin Yining come out, Qitai hurriedly put down the umbrella and saluted, "Fourth Miss." ”

"Hurry up, Uncle An is an old man who has been with my father for many years, but don't salute like this, it's tormenting me." Qitai's family name is An.

Qitai refused to listen, and still saluted respectfully, before he smiled and said, "Hou Ye instructed the villain to come and send you a letter, saying that there is something important to tell you, this time Hou Ye was recruited by the emperor into the palace to talk, not idle, I am afraid that I will be free at night, so I specially ordered the villain to come and tell you, please wait at the bottom of the mountain tonight, Hou Ye will come to see you." ”

Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile: "I know." Did your father say what was going on? Why can't he make the time to go up the mountain? The old lady and the family miss their father very much. ”

"It's really busy. Miss Bu said that the villain walked around with the master, and these days he is also busy hitting the back of his head. Qitai said and looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is afraid that he has already surrendered, and when it comes to such a major matter, it will naturally involve a lot. ”

Qin Yining nodded in understanding and sighed, "It's really embarrassing my father." I also bothered Uncle An to take care of my father and told him to pay attention to rest. ”

"Yes, the villain will naturally pay attention."

"How is my father doing? How is Aunt Cao? Qin Yining cared about Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing again.

Qitai said with a smile: "The master is in the army, although he is also hungry and full, but he is better than the outside, Aunt Cao has been pretending to be a man and following the master to protect him, the two of them are like friends, they don't talk much, but they understand each other very tacitly." ”

Qitai's words were to tell Qin Yining that there was still no husband and wife between Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing.

Qitai is the one who follows his father all day, and he can't be wrong to know.

Qin Yining secretly breathed a sigh of relief for her mother in her heart, and said with a smile: "I know." Thank you, I'll be waiting for my father at the bottom of the mountain tonight. ”

"Okay, then the villain will take his leave, and he will go back to the Hou Ye to listen to the instructions." Qitai salutes.

Qin Yining nodded, and watched Qitai's back walk away, and then turned around and said to Jiyun: "It seems that the emperor has really decided to surrender." ”

Jiyun said: "Although it is a little undesirable to say this, but after hearing the news of the emperor's decision to surrender, the slave maid was really relieved. ”

Qin Yining said understandingly: "I understand. The rest is not to be said, at least once there is no more fighting, there will be no more sieges. We can also have one more way to live. As for the general interests of the country, it is no longer something that you and I can consider. ”

"Yes, and once there is no war, the prince will definitely come to look for the girl immediately. The girl has suffered so much these days, the prince must be very distressed. ”

Jiyun thought of Xiao Xiao's attention to Qin Yining, and now he only imagined that when the two met in the future, as a bystander, they all felt that the scene of the reunion must look very touching.

Qin Yining touched his hot ears, although there was no change on his face, his heart was inexplicably happy.

Although this kind of excitement should not come in the event of the imminent demise of the Great Yan Dynasty. But Qin Yining felt that just by virtue of the toss during the reign of the Emperor Taishang, the country had already been hollowed out, even if he didn't want to admit it, Qin Yining knew that such a national fortune of the imperial court would not last long.

Now that he learned that Yu Chiyan had the intention of surrendering, Qin Yining felt a burst of lightness in his heart.

When the two of them entered the door of Ning Yuan, they saw that the Sun family had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Qin Yining went to tell Sun about Qitai's intentions, and then focused on the state of Qin Huaiyuan and Cao Yuqing when they were guarding the city.

Sun's eyebrows were soothed when he heard this, his hanging heart was put down, and the irritability of starvation in recent days disappeared, and he asked with a smile: "Sister Yi'er, you can't fool people." ”

"Where am I going to lie to you? This is all what Qitai just said. He follows his father all day long, and he must know more than us, unless this news is Qitai coaxing me, otherwise my daughter guarantees that the relationship between my father and Aunt Cao is innocent. ”

Sun's face was a little red, and he felt that he was jealous and made his daughter look at it, he was a little embarrassed, and coughed and said, "What did you say, is it that your mother and I are the kind of person who is jealous?" ”

"Of course not, it's purely my daughter's concern." Qin Yining stuck out his tongue, and the funny Sun couldn't help laughing.

Although the people in the courtyard were all starving, but after a long drought and nectar, and hearing the happy laughter of Sun and Qin Yining, their moods were much better, and irritability and panic also settled down on such a rainy day.

Qin Yining spent the day as usual.

When he arrived, he took Jiyun and Bingtang out of Ningyuan.

As soon as I went out, I saw Mu Jinghu, who was thin like a hemp pole and wearing a light blue robe, standing with his hands in his hands.

"Are you going out?" Mu Jinghu's delicate eyebrows are a little more angular because of their thinness, and their eyes are very clear.

Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile: "My father has something to do with me. ”

"Then I'll follow in the shadows."

Qin Yining said with some guilt: "If Mu Gongzi is tired, just rest on the mountain, everyone can't eat enough these days, even if Mu Gongzi cultivates to a high level, he is only a mortal, and if he doesn't eat, he will be hungry, if you can't eat, where will you get the strength?" I was really ashamed in my heart, this time I just went down the mountain to see my father and say a word, so you don't have to follow. ”

Mu Jinghu frowned and pondered for a moment, "This is not very good, I promised the fox to protect you, don't worry, I have my own measure, besides, I eat better than you, you are a little woman is fine, I am a martial artist who cultivates both inside and outside, where can I be weaker than you?" Or are you worried that I'll eavesdrop on me? Then I'll hide in the shadows, if you don't let me come out, I won't come out, it's not possible? ”

"What did Mu Gongzi say. Where would I worry about what eavesdropping. It's just that I'm afraid that you will be tired, in this case, Mu Gongzi will hide in the shadows, and if there is anything, he will also listen to my secret words and act in secret. ”

"Okay." Mu Jinghu nodded and said with a smile, "Then you guys go." ”

Qin Yining knew that Mu Jinghu naturally had his own way to keep up, so he held hands with Bingtang and Jiyun and walked along the winding path all the way to the bottom of Ivy Mountain.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw a carriage parked on the road not far away, the air dead wind lamp on the carriage was shaken by the night wind, and the air was filled with a scent of grass moistened after the rain, which made Qin Yining's mood better again.

The three of them walked briskly to the carriage. The men who stood in front of the carriage also came up to meet them.

Qin Yining looked carefully, but found that it was not Qin Huaiyuan who greeted him.
