Chapter 457: Betrayal

If it weren't for Mrs. Liao taking the initiative to find her, when the saint secretly came to the disaster area and led troops to surround the old capital, Qin Yining would never have easily gone to see Mrs. Liao. They are already on the cusp of the storm, and they have to be born to have something to do. What's more, it's a promise to meet a new face?

Qin Yining thought that what she could understand must be understood by someone as shrewd as Mrs. Liao.

In this way, she came at this time, which can only mean that something big happened outside.

Either the Qingtian Alliance has a problem that they can't solve internally, or it is related to the most important treasure now.

Qin Yining didn't know if she was thinking too much, or if she was affected by the tragic situation in the disaster area, since she came to Yangyang, she was always worried in her heart, and she always felt like something was going to happen.

When Qin Yining was thinking wildly, he heard a sound of footsteps outside from far and near. Jiyun led her face to wear a lake-blue brocade gown, and Mrs. Liao, who was wearing a high bun and a silver hairpin on her head, entered the door.

Seeing Qin Yining, Mrs. Liao hurriedly made a big salute and said, "The woman has seen the princess." ”

"Get up, Sister Liao is also an old acquaintance. No need to be so polite. Qin Yining sat in the first place, pointing to the empty seat beside him, "Please take a seat." Serve tea. ”

"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Liao lowered her eyebrows and sat down sideways, and said respectfully: "The people's wife is just a businessman's wife, and the princess was willing to fold and hand over in the past, which was the princess's open-mindedness, but the people's women did not dare to exceed the rules." ”

Qin Yining smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "Sister Liao will be divided if she dares to speak in the blink of an eye." It's just that I remember that Sister Liao went out to do business with her husband, how did she come to the disaster area? ”

Mrs. Liao smiled shyly and said, "It's true that I went to do business with my husband." However, when I heard about the disaster here, I wanted to do my part and do something for the people, so I brought some food and medicinal herbs. It's just that the mountain road is really difficult to walk, and there is a lot of delay on the way. Only here did he know that the disaster relief ambassador was the prince, and that the princess was also here, so he came to visit. ”

Qin Yining's face was overjoyed, and he said quite movingly: "Sister Liao really understands the righteousness, you have done a great thing for the people!" On behalf of the people, I thank Sister Liao! ”

Qin Yining got up and bowed as he spoke.

Mrs. Liao was startled, and hurriedly jumped up and supported her hands in fear, "What is the princess doing, this is unacceptable!" You and the prince are well aware of the righteousness, and have paid a lot for the people in the disaster area, we people don't have any great talents, and the food and medicinal materials we can contribute are limited, so we can't afford to be such a big gift from you. ”

When he was supporting, a small paper ball was stuffed into Qin Yining's hand under the cover of his sleeve.

Qin Yining quietly held the paper ball tightly, and after a few polite words with Mrs. Liao, he ordered people to go out to receive grain, grass and medicinal materials, click them clearly, and record them in the book.

He personally sent Mrs. Liao out and sincerely thanked the people in the disaster area again.

After Mrs. Liao said goodbye, the errand officer who helped carry food and medicinal materials in front of the door still sighed: "It seems that there are still a lot of good people." There are such righteous merchants in the world, who are willing to give a great deal of money for those who have nothing to do with it. ”

"The prince also donated 50,000 taels of silver for the victims, saying that the house where the princess married was sold or something."

"Alas. When the prince went to talk to them about buying grain and rice, they bit a stone of brown rice to death for twelve taels of silver, and those who are rich and unkind are simply more vicious than car bandits and road rage! Now it's all gone, and it's their own doing! ”

……

Qin Yining listened to this person talking about the affairs of the Ding family and the Pei family, because the "bad idea" was made by her, and she felt guilty about those old and weak women and children who had not done bad things but were burdened by their families.

With a heavy heart, he returned to the back office, retired from others, and Qin Yining left Jiyun and rock candy to serve by his side.

As soon as the outsiders left, Qin Yining asked Jiyun in a low voice: "Do you look around and see if it's safe?" ”

Jiyun's expression was grim, and he carefully looked around to make sure that no one was watching, and then nodded to Qin Yining.

Qin Yining immediately unfolded the note, scanned the dense small characters on it, and carefully read it twice from beginning to end.

The last thing she wanted finally happened.

The treasure was indeed stolen by the Blue Sky Alliance and the Silver-Faced Secret Agent. Mrs. Liao, as the leader of the Blue Sky Alliance, will also receive reports from the people in front of her every day using carrier pigeons.

The last carrier pigeon that Mrs. Liao received was a person from the Blue Sky Alliance who reported that the silver-faced spy had a different intention and the treasure was in danger.

After that, Mrs. Liao never received a carrier pigeon again. She searched for it, and only recently did she know that the treasure had arrived in Yangyang County for some reason.

She brought people to investigate, but she never found the whereabouts of the treasure, let alone what happened to the Silver Mask Spy and the people of the Blue Sky Alliance.

The silver-faced spies are all elite, although the Qingtian Alliance is overwhelming, but most of them are rabble, if you really talk about martial arts, I'm afraid it is really not the opponent of the silver-faced spies. If there is no more calculation or unintentionality, they may really be wiped out by the six people of the Silver Mask.

This is the disadvantage of not having your own descendants. It seems that these two forces are used by her, but the real wealth is moving, and the two groups of people have infighting after all.

Qin Yining's face was extremely ugly, and it took a long time for him to breathe a sigh of relief, got up and picked up the lampshade on the silk lamp, lit the note, and watched it burn to ashes and scatter on the ground.

"Princess, are you alright?" Bingtang worriedly held Qin Yining's arm and asked her to sit down, touching her cold fingertips, and couldn't help but be even more worried.

"It's still early summer, and your hands are cold like this, princess, you listen to the advice of the slave maid, you were injured and lost your blood and qi in the past, and you haven't fully recovered yet, so don't worry about these things. You still have the prince to support you, and you have to take good care of yourself. Rock Candy covered her hands and persuaded her.

Jiyun also sighed and said, "We also know that things are difficult to do, but don't carry it alone, don't be depressed and sick, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Qin Yining nodded with a wry smile and said, "I don't understand what you said. It's just that when it comes to the end, there are a few people who can not pay attention to it at all. ”

Rock Candy and Jiyun can't ask the reason in detail, so they can only say some other things to explain.

When Xiao Xiao came back, Qin Yining whispered the matter in his ear.

Xiao Xiao put his arms around her thin shoulders and kissed her on the forehead soothingly, "I know, don't worry about this matter, I will order someone to investigate." Now that the Holy Soldier has come, he is quietly guarding outside, and I am the object of his least trust and defense, so that we must not act rashly, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

"I understand. When Mrs. Liao came, she said that she was here to donate food and medicinal herbs, which should not arouse much suspicion. ”

"Well, there are also people in the nearby state capitals who have consciously donated rice and grain. The situation of the victims is getting better little by little. ”

When Qin Yining heard this, he was finally able to relax in his heart, and sighed: "This is also the only thing that can make people's hearts feel at ease recently." ”

Xiao Xiao sighed and hugged her tightly in his arms.

He had married her, but he had put her in danger with him. Sometimes Xiao Xiao even secretly hates his selfishness, if it weren't for his involvement, how could Qin Yining be trapped in this quagmire?

Xiao Xiao's face became extremely gloomy.

Some thoughts that have already been in my heart for a long time gradually become firm after seeing the people close to me suffering.

After a few days of exploration, Yang County was the most seriously affected by the disaster, and Qin Yining was stationed here, and the old capital was represented by the Gong Governor's Office.

The food problem has been solved, lives can be guaranteed, the people are no longer so anxious, and it is much easier to control, and some large local households have learned the lessons of the Ding family and the Pei family in Yangyang County, and selling rice at a lower price is no longer high-end, and even began to take the initiative to donate money.

For a time, the entire disaster area was in ruins.

Xiao Xiao and Gong You discussed that the roads leading to various places in the old capital should be cleared first, and the transportation would be restored to facilitate the transportation of grain.

Qin Yining mostly stayed in the mansion, listening to the words of Xiao Xiao and quietly recuperating his body.

Who knew that on this day, Qin Yining was reading a book in the room, and the back window lattice was suddenly gently knocked twice.

Jiyun was a spirit, and scolded: "Who?" ”

The man outside was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened the window, and one rolled over and jumped in.

Qin Yining looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, and said in a low voice: "Cao Guard? How did you get here? ”

The person who came was Cao Yuqing, who was dressed in dark blue short brown and dressed as men's clothes.

Qin Yining grabbed Cao Yuqing's hand and asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong in the capital?" How is my father? How is home? ”

Seeing that Qin Yining was so nervous, Cao Yuqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, everything in the capital is under control, and the adults are also very good." It's just that after hearing some news, the adults concluded that there will be a big change here, because the prince's manpower has been exposed, it is inconvenient to transfer, and it is inconvenient for the rest of the people to leave Kyoto, so it is easy for me to find a reason casually for a woman, so I lied that I am comfortable and need to recuperate for more than a month, so I will quietly come to you to protect you. ”

Qin Yining blinked, and said with some understanding: "Did my father claim that he had taken you in?" ”

When Cao Yuqing heard this, her pretty face turned red, and she said: "Yes, he planned to let me come out to protect you a month ago, but he couldn't find a legitimate excuse, so he said that I was doing Xiaoyuezi, and I couldn't see the wind and promised to stay in bed, so I could get out." But your mother had a lot of vinegar, and she was still in a cold war with your father when I went out. ”

Qin Yining naturally knew Sun's temper, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion when he thought that his father had to match his reputation and tranquility in order to send someone to him.

But the most grateful is Cao Yuqing.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to carry this kind of black cauldron, right?

Qin Yining knew that Cao Yuqing had always had Qin Huaiyuan in her heart. It is precisely because of this concern that Cao Yuqing would rather not marry, but also follow Qin Huaiyuan as a guard, and will obey Qin Huaiyuan's words. Her kind of love that she can't ask for is really embarrassing.
