Chapter 898 Preparation
Hearing this, Pang Xiao understood and said: "After so many years, it's time for Xiao Zhou to pay homage to General Liu who protected her. We rarely have the chance to go out, so it's just right to go and pay homage on our way back to Kyoto this time."
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows: "That is the general of Northern Ji."
"Even if he is a general from the Northern Hebei Kingdom, he is also a loyal man. Such a person deserves respect."
Qin Yining smiled. In fact, when Da Zhou and Da Yan fought, Pang Xiao was willing to take the trouble to collect the corpses of her grandfather's men, which can be seen from his character. He has respect for this kind of loyal and patriotic people.
Even Xiao Zhou couldn't help but look at Pang Xiao furtively, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Going to pay homage to General Liu is one thing, but the important thing is another." Qin Yining approached Pang Xiao and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Pang Xiao suddenly sat up straight, his eyes widened, and he looked at Qin Yining in shock.
"You mean what you said!"
"I take it seriously. But only Xiaozhou and I can find this place. Ordinary people may not be able to find it for a while after entering the mountain."
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining and Lian Xiaozhou with complicated expressions.
"You guys are so awesome... I have been looking for this thing since I was here. Some people said that the jade seal of the Northern Hebei Kingdom had disappeared long ago. It was later confirmed that it was indeed the case. Previously, I was still scolding, saying that the Emperor of Northern Hebei was mentally ill. , the jade seal is all gone, could it be that it was carved with carrots to handle court affairs? I didn’t expect that this thing is actually here with you. "
Pang Xiao looked at Lian Xiaozhou.
Lian Xiaozhou said: "I don't understand either. I don't remember the things in the palace, and I have no idea about the jade seal. Later, my sister took me away from there and hid this thing."
Pang Xiao nodded: "In this case, we really want to go to the mountain, but it will take a lot of planning to take whom we will take."
Qin Yining took Lian Xiaozhou's hand and said with a smile, "Just make the arrangements."
Pang Xiao thought for a while, stood up and said, "The imperial envoy has arrived now. All the things that need to be done have been done. I will make some arrangements. Let's set off as soon as possible."
If the delay continues, the Holy Father may not just issue a decree next time, but may also arrange for someone to capture him and take him back.
After Pang Xiao went out, Qin Yining took Lian Xiaozhou's hand and said, "Don't worry, the prince is not an unreasonable person, he will not hurt you."
"I have always known." Lian Xiaozhou looked at Qin Yining trustingly, "Since my sister arranged to tell the prince about this matter, she must have made sure that I was safe before telling her."
"Be good." Qin Yining touched Lian Xiaozhou's head and said with a smile: "Go and tell your sister Bingtang and Jiyun that we should pack up and prepare to return to Beijing."
"Hey!" Lian Xiaozhou ran out happily.
Qin Yining rubbed his eyebrows. He still didn't know what the situation was like in the capital, but what was certain was that he would never be as comfortable as he was here. Once under Li Qitian's nose, he had to tighten his nerves.
But after a brief period of exhaustion, Qin Yining regained his wits.
In order to reunite with her family as soon as possible, and for her two children to live freely in this world without having to live in hiding, she can do whatever she wants. Although Xiyue is nice, it is a secluded place after all. We can't let the family live there cautiously forever, right?
With the imperial envoy here, the prefect of Qi was more active than before.
Several times when Lu Ting went to and from the military camp and the Yamen, the Qi Prefect followed him. Perhaps with the Imperial Envoy around, the Qi Prefect had a backbone and was no longer fearful.
Pang Xiao was transferred back to Beijing, and as soon as the news spread that the Pingnan Army Commander would select suitable candidates and send them, the entire Pingnan Army camp was in a state of excitement.
Those soldiers who were still unconvinced by Pang Xiao at the beginning and caused trouble for Pang Xiao were now discussing in private when they heard that Pang Xiao had been successfully transferred. Some of the straightforward bosses formed a group to question the imperial envoy.
"The imperial court does not distribute food, so the local people are asked to raise their own wages. Brothers have never seen money coming out of the yamen, but the prince has never been short of food and wages for brothers!"
"That's right, the prince also led his brothers to suppress bandits. In the past, the people in the old capital of Dayan looked at us as enemies, but now they regard us as benefactors!"
"Now I can walk straight in front of the people."
"You can't change such a good coach just by saying a word."
…
The soldiers were arrogant and loud, which shocked Qi Zhifu and Lu Tingzhong and their heads were buzzing. After each of these people expressed their views, Lu Tingzhong said: "The Holy Emperor arranged for the prince to return to the capital, and he must also commend the prince for his achievements here. I already know your thoughts, and I will definitely go to Datian to listen. Don't worry!"
Magistrate Qi also nodded repeatedly and said that Pang Xiao's transfer was the Holy One's order.
After hearing that it was an imperial edict, everyone present had no opinion, and everyone left after discussing.
Pang Xiao stood not far away with Huzi and his hands behind his back, watching all this.
Huzi curled his lips and whispered indignantly: "How can these stupid big guys be so easy to deceive? If it were me, I would definitely not believe it. Even if the Holy Emperor is satisfied with your work, he can ostentatiously reward you, who is his fan?" You wiped your crotch instead of your face? You were transferred back to the capital this time, but you didn’t get any promotions or awards, and you looked like you were going to be escorted for trial."
Pang Xiao did not refute Huzi's words, but he also did not continue. He only said: "You ask our brothers to prepare. Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu also packed up as quickly as possible. We will set off tomorrow."
"Yes." Huzi nodded, and then asked, "Your Highness, we still have two people imprisoned here."
Who is locked up? Of course, it was Tianjizi and the Lu family who arranged to go to Guangtong to check the accounts, Yuan Yu Jiang Yuan, the great shopkeeper.
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Tianjizi's ability is that he can leave whenever he wants."
"I'm going to release the secret right now."
"When did I say let her go?" Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Huzi said in surprise: "You were not the one just now. Can she leave whenever she wants?"
Pang Xiao curled up the corners of his lips: "She is so powerful. She can just go out based on her ability. Do you still need me to let her go?"
"Will Mr. Mu's place be like this...?"
"No. He said it himself, we have good food and drink here, let her uncle calm down, so as not to have random thoughts after coming out."
Huzi was speechless for a while, and then asked: "Where is the shopkeeper Yuanda?"
"He covets your princess wholeheartedly and wants to leave in a big way? Let him sit in jail and think about where he went wrong."
Huzi nodded and couldn't help but sigh. With the prince's jealousy, it was a mercy not to kill Yuan Yujiang directly.
After making arrangements in the general camp, he mocked the imperial envoy Lu Tingzhong who had "successfully persuaded" him to return to Beijing, and then left the military camp and went to Mu's house.
