Cao Yuqing hugged Qin Yining, patted her thin back and said, "I'm fine, Aunt Cao is very capable, where will there be anything?" It's you, you've lost so much weight, you must have suffered a lot, right? ”

This sentence of sincere concern, and a not generous but warm embrace, made Qin Yining almost cry on the spot.

She sniffed and said for a long time: "I'm fine, although there are dangers along the way, but in the end I have survived, and now those things are over, don't you think I'm good?" It's just that after being taken away that day, I was worried that you would be buried in the ground, everyone...... Are you all right? ”

At this time, the last thing Qin Yining wanted to hear was the news that someone had an accident that day. Thinking of those vivid faces, those people were still so young, if they finally lost their lives because of protecting her, Qin Yining would probably be guilty for the rest of his life.

Cao Yuqing patted her shoulder clearly, and said comfortingly: "Don't think nonsense, this time God is on our side, our people are fine, the prince later took people to the scene, dug up the entire hole, rescued everyone, and stung them out in advance, but they were seriously injured, I let them go to recuperate, and now they are probably all recovered, rock candy and Jiyun were rescued by the prince at that time, don't worry." ”

Then Qin Yining took a long breath and sighed: "If everyone really has something happen because of me, then I will really have to live my life guilty."

Seeing that Qin Yining was silent and didn't ask anything else, Cao Yuqing took the initiative to say: "I used to think that the prince liked your appearance, but the truth is seen in adversity, and now I understand the prince's sincerity to you." Do you know, at that time, in order to stay and find you, the prince resisted more than 30 times before and after, and urged him to return to Beijing one by one with the will of the saint, so he stayed in the original place, and almost turned over the entire old capital and Yangxian, and when it was determined that his body was not found, the prince barely let go of half of his heart and took people back to the capital."

Qin Yining's heart was sweet and sour when he heard this, and when he thought of Xiao Xiao, tears almost poured out again.

"Is he okay now? The Holy One didn't anger him, did he? And my father and mother? ”

Cao Yuqing patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, everyone is fine." The prince is a person with real talent and learning, and the saint still needs him, where will he be moved? But you're gone, and he's skinny like he's peeled off a layer of skin. You don't have to worry about your father, he is worried about you, but he is a wise man, he knows when it is most important to do something, and he is capable of protecting himself. ”

Qin Yining smiled heartily when she heard this, but her tears were squeezed out more by the smile, she used her sleeve to collect her tears, and said, "I know, as long as there is nothing at home, everything will be fine." ”

Cao Yuqing said: "I couldn't do anything when I saw you being taken away that day, I have been looking for your whereabouts these days, I sneaked into the Tatar capital, but I didn't see you, and then I heard that Anari Khan was assassinated, and then soon I saw the inscription sent by Utkin Khan, and then I knew that you killed Anari Khan." I contacted your father, and he told me to find you and bring you a message. ”

"What's the news?" Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing intently.

Cao Yuqing looked left and right, and saw that beside the bonfire not far away, everyone was listening to the conversation here with their ears crossed, and couldn't help but look at Qin Yining inquiringly.

Qin Yining smiled knowingly and said, "It's okay, these days are all dependent on everyone's care and protection, and they are all trustworthy brothers." ”

Uncle Arhan translated Qin Yining's words to Chaganbala and the others, and the people in the Mino Department all showed a kind smile, and even some young men and middle-aged people looked at Cao Yuqing and Qin Yining, their eyes were full of shyness and evasiveness.

Where had they ever seen such a beautiful woman, let alone two of them at once.

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Cao Yuqing had a number in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Your father means that you don't want to go back to Da Zhou now, and you can still be safer outside, because Utkin Khan has the intention of going to war, and you know the situation of Da Zhou, the saint does not want to fight, he is looking for the easiest way to calm Utkin Khan's anger, so if you go back, you will definitely be handed over to Utkin Khan as a murderer, so isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?" So your father meant to let you go out for a while now, waiting to see what was going on at home. ”

Qin Yining couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It's easy to see my relatives, but I can't return to China because of this reason, and it's a lie to say in my heart that I won't be lost.

But Qin Yining also knows the severity, and now that she can know the news at home, Xiao Xiao and her parents are fine, she doesn't have to worry about her family anymore, in the end, it's also a good thing.

"I see." Qin Yining smiled: "I'm also fine here, Aunt Cao, please also tell my father about my situation." ”

Cao Yuqing smiled and nodded, smiled kindly at Lu Heng and the others on the side, and saluted: "My sister Yi has been thanks to your care these days, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay him." ”

The rest of the people couldn't understand Cao Yuqing's words, but Lu Heng and Uncle Arhan did.

Lu Heng heard Qin Yining call Cao Yuqing her aunt, so he treated her as her elder, and got up and politely returned the courtesy: "You must not be polite." We are all friends who share in adversity and do not care about those things. ”

He originally wanted to call Cao Yuqing "aunt" with Qin Yining, but Cao Yuqing was too young and beautiful, and the years seemed to be particularly partial to her, and there were no traces left on her charming face at all, Lu Heng looked at it like this, but felt that Cao Yuqing was younger than him, so he guessed that this was either a junior or Qin Huaiyuan's aunt's wife, so he didn't dare to call it indiscriminately.

Uncle Arhan's whole face turned red into a big red cloth, although Qin Yining is also beautiful, but in Uncle Arhan's opinion, she is a beautiful little girl, and she can be his daughter. Cao Yuqing's beauty is different, mature and charming, full of charm, although she is also young, it is difficult not to waver.

He waved his hand again and again in a panic, and said in a broken Da Zhou dialect: "You're welcome, you're welcome, the princess is our patriarch, she helped us take revenge, we all support her, and protecting her is what we should do!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Yuqing smiled, and said softly: "I still want to thank you." As he spoke, he saluted again.

In this world, beautiful people have always been treated preferentially, not to mention that this beautiful person is still so polite, soft-spoken, and a relative of their "patriarch", which makes the entire Mino Department very receptive to Cao Yuqing.

The two sides were polite, and the rest of the Mino's tribe couldn't understand what they said, but they were very happy when they saw everyone talking happily.

Qin Yining glanced at Lu Heng and asked instead, "Aunt Cao, do you know the news of the Lu family?" ”

Lu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked at Qin Yining again, his eyes were full of softness.

Cao Yuqing was keenly aware of Lu Heng's strange appearance, and said quietly: "I've been looking for you outside, I don't know much about the news in the capital, but the matter of the Lu family is too big, I have heard some of it, but I can't be sure if it's true." ”

Lu Heng said with some concern when he heard this: "Is it that my grandfather is ill, and the position of the head of the Lu family has been replaced?" ”

Cao Yuqing blinked in surprise.

Seeing Cao Yuqing's expression, Lu Heng sighed and said, "I really didn't guess wrong. ”

Cao Yuqing had a new understanding of Lu Heng's wisdom, and couldn't help but say curiously: "How did you guess?" ”

Lu Heng smiled bitterly: "The situation of the Lu family is like that, I have already angered the saint when I came out before, and if there is an assassination this time, the family will definitely push me out and take all the blame for it, I am the same as my grandfather...... In short, something happened to me, and a change of power in the family was inevitable. ”

Cao Yuqing nodded and said, "Although Elder Lu Ge has not yet become a politician, he is not in good health now. ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart.

Since he was a child, even his father has never cared much about him, and only his grandfather really cherishes him and teaches him! But in the end, he couldn't live with his grandfather, not only did he not fulfill his filial piety in front of him, but because of his affairs, his grandfather, who was so tough, was so haggard.

Lu Heng knew that Cao Yuqing was just a euphemism.

What is "not very good", in fact, it is very likely that my grandfather has been seriously ill.

The entanglement of interests in the family is very clear in his heart, and his matter is out. Several of his uncles will surely take advantage of the situation and take away his grandfather's position as head of the family. In this way, even if he can return to the Lu family alive, there is no room for turnaround.

Qin Yining saw that Lu Heng's expression was unprecedentedly depressed, and couldn't help but enlighten: "Second Master Lu, don't worry, my Aunt Cao has always been outside, and she doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital, maybe there is something else we don't know." Even if there are difficulties, when we return to the capital in the future, let's find a way to solve it together, so we can conquer the difficult desert twice, and the rest is just a matter of using our brains, so what's so terrible? ”

When Lu Heng heard this, his frozen heart was like being placed in a hot spring for a moment, warming him from the inside out.

There was finally some hope in his heart.

Lu Heng couldn't help but smile, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, "That's what you said." ”

In fact, he really wanted to ask Qin Yining, would you like to think of a way with me in the future?

But in this case, he can guess the answer without asking.

Qin Yining will definitely agree to help him, because she regards him as a partner and friend, and will never be a lover.

Cao Yuqing looked at Lu Heng's expression in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Lu Heng's appearance was really similar to her in the past. I can't ask for it, and I don't want to force it, because I am afraid that if I ask for it, I will lose everything I have now.
