Return of the Swallow

The tip of Pang Xiao's sword was dripping with blood, the phoenix's eyes were sharp with cold light, but the slanted sword eyebrows were slightly raised, as if enjoying the bloody aura, he squatted down and said, "How is it? Are you comfortable?"

The man lying on the ground was trembling with pain. He really wanted to pass out, but the severe pain pulled his mind and made him more awake than ever before.

"My lord, my lord, I was wrong, I knew I was wrong, my lord spare your life!"

The man's begging for mercy was low and inaudible, but in the quiet hall where you could hear a needle drop, his voice was like a heavy hammer, smashing hard on everyone's heart.

Mrs. Lu was already so frightened that her face turned pale, and it took a long time for her to regain her senses. She frowned and said, "How can Prince Zhongshun be so cruel?"

"Cruel? What kind of thing is this? This king also thinks that he has stained Alan's sword!" Pang Xiao wiped off the blood stained on the sword from the man, and threw it at Ji Zeyu.

If it was someone else, he would have been stunned by Pang Xiao's sudden move, but Ji Zeyu still stood there with a frosty face.

With only a sound of "clang", the sword was accurately returned to the scabbard on Ji Zeyu's waist.

Pang Xiao's dashing sword swing, Ji Zeyu's whole-hearted trust, and the chilling aura emanating from both of them at the same time made everyone present feel panic.

Li Helan looked at these two handsome men, and her ears grew even hotter.

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a heartbeat: "Forget it, since the lord can calm down like this, it doesn't matter if the lord takes it."

The few heads heard the words, and at the same time looked at Madam Lu in disbelief.

They never imagined that Mrs. Lu would send them out so proactively.

Seeing the people on the ground who had fallen into a coma and lost their arms, they all shivered like a sieve, and invariably knelt down and kowtowed.

Pang Xiao sneered: "Aren't these all Mrs. Lu's sweethearts? You're not afraid that people will be sad when you say that?"

Mrs. Lu wanted to say, "If you can make you smile, what's the point of killing them".

But as soon as he looked up at Shang Pang Xiao's cold eyes, this man was still full of murderous aura even though he was smiling.

Killed and dare not say it.

Ji Zeyu tightened the collar of the fox fur, and said to Li Helan, "Eldest Princess, please play here freely. You have to have a good time, and the minister will retire first."

When the words fell, he turned Pang Xiao with his arm and motioned for him to go with him.

Li Helan panicked and hurriedly followed in the footsteps of the two of them: "There is nothing to do in this palace, concubine, send this palace back to the princess' palace!"

Ji Zeyu turned his head and glanced at Li Helan lightly, and said, "I'm stupid, I can't serve the eldest princess well, so I have to trouble the people around the eldest princess to serve you properly." With a polite nod, he took another step.

Li Helan was really panicked this time.

Even if Ji Zeyu was cold to her in the past, he is not as polite and distant as he is now. Only then did she realize that Ji Zeyu's indifference to her was not the most terrifying thing, because Ji Zeyu's temperament was inherently cold. The most terrifying thing is that Ji Zeyu suddenly became polite to her.

It's not too late for them to know each other. When they met before, Ji Zeyu was never so polite.

Only then did Li Helan find out that after the big wedding, although one of them lived in the Princess' Mansion and the other in the Concubine's Mansion, and only had a husband and wife affair that day in the bridal chamber, Ji Zeyu was generally indifferent to her and showed some randomness.

Li Helan really regretted that he shouldn't have been. She shouldn't be greedy and want to play and try something. Ji Zeyu is like that, how will their life as a husband and wife go on in the future?

Li Helan chased after a few steps, and when she saw the black and white figure walking away without any reluctance, she finally couldn't help crying.

Pang Xiao walked side by side with Ji Zeyu, and remained silent on the way out of Zhongyong Hou's Mansion.

Pang Xiao felt injustice for Ji Zeyu in his heart.

But he also knew that Ji Zeyu had already made all kinds of mental preparations since he promised to be the royal concubine.

Although there have been many gentle, kind, noble and elegant princesses in the past dynasties, there are not a few who have raised their face and head like Madam Lu.

Princess Shang, the husband and wife are not on equal footing. The princess is the master, and the concubine is specially used to serve the princess. When the princess needs, please invite the concubine to the Princess Palace, so that the concubine can get close to his wife. If there is no call from the princess, the concubine not only can't touch the princess' finger, but not even a maid of the house.

This is the helplessness of serving the royals.

Pang Xiao felt that with Ji Zeyu's talent and character, being the concubine really wronged him. But he also understands that Ji Zeyu's current situation is also the most powerful, and it is as difficult as his situation.

Ji Zeyu's promise to be Li Helan's concubine was probably the result of multiple considerations.

--\u003e\u003e

; The two walked out of the mansion without a word. They saw their mounts kicking their hooves in the snow, making the ground muddy, and on the carriage beside, Qin Yining was pulling up the curtain to look here.

When Pang Xiao saw Qin Yining, he was overjoyed, but he couldn't show the slightest bit on his face, and scolded coldly: "What are you doing here? Do you still want to go in and continue to enjoy with Mrs. Lu?"

Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu, lowered his eyes and pulled down the curtains, without answering a word, he ordered the carriage to set off.

As the sound of the horse's hooves drifted away, Ji Zeyu said helplessly, "Don't you like the Qin family? Why are you so nonchalant and how can you make up for her broken heart in the future?"

Pang Xiao said: "The daughter of the enemy, what if she likes it?"

Ji Zeyu sighed silently when he heard the words, patted Pang Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you just now."

"There is no need to thank brothers. It's just Alan, you can also talk to the saint about this."

"What's the use of saying it? The Holy One doesn't have so much free time to manage these mundane things, and I was originally going to serve the princess, and the princess is free to do whatever she wants. She can also raise her face, but I only want to serve the princess. I can stand up for her."

Ji Zeyu is used to being taciturn, and only in front of his brothers can he speak so freely and no longer cherish words like gold.

Pang Xiao said: "Forget it, don't think about it so much, I'll invite you to a drink, go, and go to my house." He pulled the reins, and got on his horse neatly.

Ji Zeyu also took his horse, looked up at Pang Xiao, who was sitting on the horse, and asked, "I heard that your mother-in-law is back, is it convenient to go to your house for a drink?"

"The palace is so big, isn't there a place for the two of us to have a drink? Don't be long-winded. Let's go."

Ji Zeyu didn't ask any more questions, and followed Pang Xiao to the palace on horseback. The two drank in the study room in the outer courtyard until midnight. They were both drunk and slept on the heated bed in the study room.

And Qin Yining's car was the next evening, only to catch up with Qin Huaiyuan and tell Qin Huaiyuan what happened yesterday, and finally said worriedly: "Father, are we serious about the Lumen family?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "The Lumen family was already a big family in Beiji, and their economic strength is unfathomable. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rich and enemy countries. Lord, to provide food and money for the rebel army, Da Zhou can only be able to destroy the North Ji country, which shows the power of their family now."

"That Mrs. Lu, although it is only a side branch of the Lu family, but even if it is a side branch, in the capital of Da Zhou, as long as the surname is Lu, you must be careful with her."

Hearing this, Qin Yining frowned thoughtfully, and after a moment of contemplation, he said worriedly: "Father, I am afraid that my actions yesterday have already made Madam Lu and Princess Anyang guilty. Shanglu's family? Hurt our family? I'm really afraid of causing trouble to our family."

Although she doesn't regret her decision, she is also worried about the Qin family.

After all, the Qin family has just established a firm foothold in Da Zhou, how can they be enemies with such a big family as the Lumen family?

Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help laughing when she saw that her daughter was so sluggish.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Have you forgotten what my father and son told you? Don't think too much, just do what you think is right. Father's help you. We didn't come to this world to suffer and be wronged. No matter how powerful the Lumen family is, what can we do?"

Qin Yining looked at Qin Huaiyuan's hearty smiling face, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What my father said is, but I'm stuck. No matter how strong the enemy is, we can't back down. Besides, I believe that with my father's talent, we can become famous for a generation. It's only a matter of time before the minister."

The father and daughter talked very happily, just like when they were in Dayan.

Qin Huaiyuan had no son, only Qin Yining, an only daughter, naturally spoiled her to the apex of her heart.

And Qin Yining has never been a favored and arrogant person, she is not suitable for her age, stability and open-mindedness, and Qin Huaiyuan, no matter what court affairs, she can express some of her own views, the father and daughter are really talking about It made Qin Huaiyuan want to be more nice to her daughter, so as to make up for so much pain she endured when she was young.

After two days like this, there were some rumors outside.

I heard that Mrs. Lu and the fourth lady of the Qin family are not compatible, and there has long been a disagreement. Mrs. Lu heard that the yard where the Qin family lives now is rented, and she threatened to buy the house, even if it is vacant, it will not be rented. To the Qin family, let the Qin family know that it is powerful, and not everyone can be punished on one-third of an acre of land in the capital.

Qin Yining couldn't help laughing when she heard the news.

"It's really interesting. This Mrs. Lu is very funny. In the future, when I have her in the capital, it will not be so boring."

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Bingtang couldn't help frowning and said angrily, "The girl is too lenient, you have offended Mrs. Lu, and the angry Mrs. Lu wants to drive away the Qin family. In my ears, do you still have good fruit to eat? I don't know how to think of a countermeasure, and I still have the time to praise Mrs. Lu here? "
