Qin Yining was startled by the sudden roar, and stood up suddenly, and a few people hurriedly surrounded Qin Yining, holding their weapons vigilantly, and paying attention to the movement in front of the door and window.

After a while, Ji Dashun walked into the door quickly, and arched his hand: "Princess, there was only a figure flashing through the back door, and the subordinates didn't have time to see what the person looked like, and it is unknown which side of the spy is spying on your whereabouts." ”

Ji Dashun was really a little annoyed, at such a critical time, these few elite tiger guards boasted of their strong martial arts, but they didn't find any trace of each other, obviously their skills were not as good as others.

Seeing Ji Dashun's depression, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Don't worry." If you can find the other party's traces, you can take precautions in advance. ”

"Looks like someone has noticed Golden Harbor." Xie Yue said in a deep voice.

"The secret of the princess's going to sea should be unknown to anyone," Xu Weizhi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "It should be a coincidence." ”

"But you have to prepare for the worst." Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "Let's pay attention to it on the way back to Beijing, it is always a bad thing to be more prepared." ”

Everyone nodded.

Qin Yining returned to his heart like an arrow, and after making a little arrangement, he took his group and set off in the direction of the capital. Along the way, all of them make people's hearts tug, the refugees are in rags, groups of people are sluggish in the hurry, but whenever they encounter a good tree, they can't go up and pick off a piece of bark to eat, they don't encounter streams and rivers along the way, pouting and eating in muddy water, not to mention any wild vegetables and game, which can't be seen all the way.

That is, Qin Yining's team was numerous and heavily guarded, and everyone was in a posture with a bright saber, and the frightened victims did not dare to approach, otherwise their group would have encountered bandits a long time ago, and the horses they brought were also the most delicious food in the eyes of those victims.

Seeing them like this, Qin Yining's compassion suddenly grew, and when he met orphans and widows who were traveling alone, he would give some help. But when there are many people, they don't dare to stop easily. She didn't want people to starve to death, but if she stopped, she would definitely be robbed, and she herself might not be able to return to the capital.

In desperation, Qin Yining had no choice but to protect himself first before he could have the spare strength to help others.

The journey from Golden Harbor to the city is not far, but the manager's time on the way is very long. It was easy to come to the vicinity of the capital, Qin Yining and his entourage found a camp next to the uninhabited woods, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"After half a day's drive, you will be able to see the city gate at noon tomorrow."

"yes. Fortunately, it went well along the way. ”

Xie Yue talked about what he heard when he met the Venerable Master on the road, "It is said that when the saint returned to the capital more than a month ago, he did not enter the city gate immediately, but was stationed outside the city and was greeted by hundreds of officials. ”

"yes." Xu Weizhi smiled, "But many people are saying that the saint has the heart to go out on patrol and have the spare energy to build the imperial tomb, but there is no silver to help the people." Everyone's grievances have been backlogged, and sooner or later there will be a time to erupt. ”

Qin Yining didn't know what to say for a while. Li Qitian's behavior has become more and more perverse in recent years, and he used to be willing to behave, but now he is too lazy to cover it up. When the people encountered natural disasters, the Son of Heaven only cared about building mausoleums and ignoring the people's famine.

What's more, the people don't know what the Son of Heaven is doing this, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and he is the richest person in this dynasty.

A rich son of heaven is so stingy with his own people that he doesn't even care about it. Li Qitian's approach will sooner or later arouse public indignation.

"I'm going to return to the capital tomorrow, and the next thing is like this with the prince." Qin Yining smiled, "Our trip went quite smoothly, and we didn't delay much time, and it was too late to hand it over to the prince to figure out a way." ”

Xie Yue laughed and said, "It's rare to see that the princess has a problem and has to wait for the princess to do it, if there is anything difficult with the princess on weekdays, the princess doesn't wait to reach out, and the princess will do it all by herself." ”

"yes." Xu Weizhi also laughed, and wanted to make a joke, but he was worried that Qin Yining was thin-skinned, so he didn't say anything more.

Someone brought out the prepared dry food and other things, and everyone shared the hot water that had just been boiled, and everyone ate the dry food with the hot water.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi saw that Qin Yining did not dislike the dry bun at all, and naturally admired it in their hearts, sometimes they were tired from the journey, but they were very glad that every time they saw Qin Yining, she was always smiling, always energetic, she would not complain to anyone after suffering hardships, and she was so approachable, they really admired it in their hearts.

After the meal was over, the people began to rest, leaving only a few people on duty all around.

Qin Yining's tent was inhabited by Jiyun, and outside the tent, there were people such as Shock, Liao Zhibing, and Ji Dashun who were on duty respectively, and they were very well guarded.

Most of the night passed, and it was obvious that it was safe tonight, so everyone relaxed their vigilance slightly.

A few people changed shifts, leaving Xiaoxue on duty.

Just when Xiaoxue was tired and couldn't open her eyes, relying on willpower to support her not sleeping, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Xiaoxue suddenly realized that she jumped up from the fire, "Hurry up!" Look! ”

Xiaoxue's voice was not high-pitched, but everyone got up instantly, looking vigilant, even if they were sleepy and couldn't open their eyes, they all looked around.

After waiting for the time for the tea, everyone was relieved that there was no movement.

Who knew that at this moment, he suddenly saw a group of farmers in ragged clothes rushing over.

Qin Yining couldn't really see it in the moonlight, and when he got closer, Qin Yining suddenly realized that these people were probably not homeless.

Because although their clothes were torn, she had seen a lot along the way, and knew what the real refugees would do.

Today, these people dressed as refugees are all burly, although they are not fat people, but they are all standard appearances. They don't look like they've been starved or frozen at all, just look at their countenances and temperament.

When they were about to come to the front, Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue nervously ordered people to get up: "Protect the master!" ”

This voice straightened everyone's minds.

Qin Yining said in a deep voice: "Since these people plan to hit the stone with an egg, then you might as well take a look." ”

As soon as everyone was ready to take precautions, the group of people on the other side quickly came in the direction of the capital, and they shouted one by one: "Dog Emperor, you have embezzled wealth and food!" ”

Everyone was a little nervous, seeing that the other party was about to approach, Qin Yining ordered in a deep voice: "Be prepared, if you can catch it, you will be captured alive, if you can't, you must also strictly abide by the rules, and you can't let these people escape." ”
