Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also gathered in the study room in the outer courtyard of the palace with several strategists at this time, waiting for Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining.

Everyone's faces were solemn.

Originally, he thought that he had made great achievements in the south, but now the new emperor of Southern Yan, Wei Chi Chuan, is young and ignorant, and he is surrounded by strong ministers, and they will be busy with internal affairs for a long time, and they will not dare to take the initiative to intrude on the border passes. Although it is true that Xiao Xiao postponed his return to Beijing, this is very little compared to Xiao Xiao's contributions.

Who would have thought that the saint would really disregard his feelings and not read his merits, and arrange such an official position for Xiao Xiao.

This clearly wants to take the opportunity to be unfavorable to the owl!

The treasury is empty, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum has been interfered with several times for various reasons, to put it bluntly, there is a shortage of people and silver.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter who goes to face such conditions, it is also a huge mess, and the situation will not improve at all if she takes office. At that time, wouldn't it be possible to catch a mistake at will and give Xiao An a crime?

Xie Yue was in an atmosphere and sighed again: "I can't imagine that a hero like the prince has been born and died for the imperial court for many years, and now he will fall to such a point." ”

Several strategists also sighed, the owl trusted them, and never treated them badly, seeing that the owl was about to end up with a bird's bow and a bow, everyone was not happy.

Xu Weizhi regretted: "The prince is a frank person, but he is always misunderstood and guarded. So far, I have given the prince such an official who has to carry the black pot anytime and anywhere, if the prince does not react, I am afraid that the environment will be more severe in the future. ”

Xu Weizhi's words were euphemistic, but the people here are all smart people, and the content he hinted at was already very clear.

Xu Weizhi supported Xiao Xiao's early "preparations."

Xie Yue bowed slightly, his gaze swept over the few people present, and carefully observed everyone's reactions in his heart.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi are often in the same place, the two know each other, and they are both involved in some secret things at the same time, so they can trust each other. But there are also some of the advisors under the Owl that they can't trust wholeheartedly.

Today, while the prince and princess have not yet come, they use such words that people can't grasp, but can make people understand, to test, once someone has an external heart, it is better to catch it as soon as possible, even if they can't, even if they disagree, they can take precautions as soon as possible.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining came.

Hearing the footsteps outside, several people stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Come on, please sit down, everybody." Xiao Xiao took Qin Yining's hand, sat in the first place with her, and said with a smile: "I invite you to come here today to inform you that the Holy Lord has issued a holy decree, and this king is about to go to Huichuan County to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, and when this king's health improves, he will set off when the arrangements are ready." The gentlemen have also followed the king for so many years, the environment in Huichuan County is really not good, if there are any other arrangements, or want to think about the elderly, you can come to the king in private later. ”

No one could have imagined that at the most critical juncture, Xiao Xiao would give everyone a chance to withdraw from the "camp".

This is because he is afraid that he is in danger and will tire them, right?

A group of strategists, including Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, couldn't help but be proud.

People's hearts are made of meat, and the reason why these people follow them is also because they know how to make good use of them, giving them a space to display their strengths, and they have never put on a show, and trust and appease them.

Now is the most difficult time for the owl, If he leaves at this time, where will he have the face to say goodbye to his past brothers in the future?

Thinking of this, several people led by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi all stood up and saluted respectfully, "The old man should do his best to run errands for the prince." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, this king also wants to thank all the gentlemen." In this case, gentlemen, please also prepare as soon as possible, and when the king is in good health, he can set off. ”

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

After chatting with everyone for a while, he dispersed.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao held hands and returned to the inner house.

At this time, it is the warm spring season, and there is new greenery everywhere, willow branches are sprouting, and the grass is covered with unknown small flowers, not to mention the potted plants of new flowers that can be seen everywhere in the house.

Qin Yining looked at this quiet and peaceful scenery and sighed lightly: "We haven't stayed for a few days, let's go to Huichuan County again." At that time, it must be a busy person who is on his back, and I am afraid that he will not have the heart to pay attention to the surrounding scenery. ”

From his point of view, he could see Qin Yining's long and supple hair pulled up in a bun, and a pearl flower head tassel hairpin swayed slightly as she walked, shining with a soft pearlescent light.

After holding back the words in his heart for several days, he was finally able to speak.

"Sister Yi'er, in fact, I've been thinking about it carefully these days, I can handle the matter of Huichuan with Mr. Xie, and I also have a lot of manpower, you ......"

"You want me to stay?" Qin Yining stopped and looked up at Xiao Xiao with an expressionless face.

People who were not scared at all before the army were stared at by a little woman at this moment, their hearts trembled, their tongues were knotted, and they didn't even know how to explain for a while. He cares so much about Qin Yining, where is he willing to make her angry? Where would she misunderstand him?

"I feel ......"

"Zhixi, you forgot what we discussed before. Why do you want to hide me somewhere when something happens? Why don't you think that I'm not one of those weak women, I can fight side by side with you, I won't hold you back, and I will even help you? ”

"I know, I always knew it. Xiao Xiao's voice was a little hurried, and he took Qin Yining's hands and said, "I never said that you would drag your feet, and I also know that you are not an ordinary weak woman, because you are by my side, many of my problems can be solved, it can be said that with you, I am like a tiger." ”

"So what did you do to get this idea again? Are you afraid that the trip to Huichuan will go and there will be no return? ”

Qin Yining's words hit the nail on the head, and he couldn't find the words to deal with it, so he had to say: "Sister Yi'er, it's okay if others don't know, you know, the treasure is hidden there, paper can't contain the fire, and once there is a little variable, it will lead to death."

"Besides, Guan Dahu and Liu Ban are not very resourceful people, although they want to swallow the treasure alone, they may accidentally sell us all. It's enough for me to be there alone. You really don't need to take any more risks. ”

Qin Yining's white fingers nodded at Xiao Xiao's shoulder, "I'll say this one last time." You and I are companions who fight side by side, and I don't accept your proposal, and I also have come up with a proper way to find out the truth of the treasure first. I'm going to leave for Huichuan County first, just like when we entered Beijing. ”

"No, Sister Yi'er ......"

"Why not? I went to the capital first, what danger did I have? ”

Xiao Xiao was speechless for a moment and shook his head.

Qin Yining said again: "Or do I do something wrong and ruin your big thing?" ”

"How so!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly said, "You don't do it very well, even Mr. Xie and they have praised you behind their backs I don't know how much, saying that you are a rare female Zhuge in the world, and you have the ability to take ten steps to see that you are perfect, and they have to bow down." ”

Qin Yining's tense expression eased slightly, "Female Zhuge can't talk about it, but I do have thoughts about this matter." Just don't meddle yet. In addition, I went to Huichuan County first, not to Longtan Tiger's Den. I'll go first, and you will take someone to set off with Lu Heng later, so there won't be many people who will notice me at all. Besides, I'm a woman, do they think that a woman can do anything? ”

"Sister Yi'er, I know that you are smart, you have been in danger several times, and you have been able to survive with your own clever strategies, which is indeed very remarkable, but you can't take chances......"

"Where am I going to take chances? I was expecting it to be fine. Qin Yining said solemnly: "This time, you assign me a few guards, I will bring rock candy and Jiyun, and I will set off with my belongings first." To the saint and the courtiers, he said that you first arrange for me to go to Huichuan County to buy a house and tidy up a little. You have just taken office, and you don't know how long you will stay in Huichuan County, it makes sense that we want to buy a house, and your body has not healed, so it is just right for me to go. This is the best decision for both outsiders and your subordinates. ”

Xiao Xiao had to admit that Qin Yining's analysis was right.

But intellectually, although he knew it, emotionally, he couldn't bear Qin Yining no matter what.

He had previously proposed to let Qin Yining avoid danger, but he had made up his mind several times, because sometimes he was so arrogant, and he always felt that people were safe under his nose. But when he really entered the Longtan Tiger's Den, he was afraid that he would really bring Qin Yining down.

Unexpectedly, this girl not only agreed, but also made even more excessive demands.

Qin Yining said, "Zhixi, now is not the time to be rash, I will go to buy a mansion and go under the banner of the princess, who will do anything to me?" Those people want treasures, not to startle snakes, they will only move me when they are stupid. Because of this, I'm a woman, and it's more convenient to do things after I go. ”

Qin Yining carefully explained the stakes to Xiao Xiao again, and finally said: "Don't forget, the two of us have no way out now, of course, we don't have any worries, what to do, just let go, don't miss the opportunity, let's finish everything as soon as possible, so that we can reunite with our families." ”

Xiao Xiao looked at Qin Yining with his eyebrows twisted, distressed and guilty, worried and helpless.

"Sister Yi'er, you can always make me speechless."

"That's because I have a good way." Qin Yining thought for a while, and then said, "This time, just let Mu Gongzi follow you and arrange some guards for me to be casual." ”

Xiao Xiao was anxious when he heard this, "No, I can rest assured that the wood will follow you." ”

"Fool. Huichuan County is not dangerous to me, but the capital is a tiger's den in Longtan for you, who can predict the future? What if that person has a brain and orders someone to harm you? If you live well, I can have hope, if you are gone, wouldn't I have to let people pinch and frustrate? ”

PS: Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!
