Return of the Swallow

hunting?

Qin Yining knew that this was definitely not a simple matter. Anari was so full of jealousy that she fell into the jealousy vat just now. Siqin clearly wanted to use Anari for something, and Zhenghuan was arguing just now. , and now he suddenly said that he wanted to hunt, there must be a conspiracy in this.

When the maid saw Qin Yining's eyelashes flickering, she lowered her eyes and remained silent. Half of her little face was hidden in the soft animal skin, and half of her face was hidden in the warm orange-red firelight. Her soft and pretty appearance made a woman feel guilty just looking at her. Crisp, let alone men? In my heart, it became more and more understandable for Anari to be so wary and hateful of Qin Yining.

Madam? the maid called inquiringly. She followed Anari's instructions and wanted to return to life.

Qin Yining wanted to refuse, but her physical weakness and fatigue from the long journey made her exhausted to the limit. If he were still in the palace now, Qin Yining would definitely relax and rest for a while, just stay in bed and eat and sleep to recuperate, without even getting sick again.

But now she is just a prisoner and has no qualifications to indulge herself. She has no room to refuse or resist Anari's orders.

It must be said that the desperate situation forced her to be strong. In the current situation, one can either grit one's teeth and hold on or struggle for a while, or one can only kill someone at the mercy of his neck and become a lamb to be slaughtered.

I understand. Go back and tell Khan that I will go.

Seeing Qin Yining agree, the maid nodded, took a few steps back, walked around the screen, and left the side hall.

As the door of the hall closed with a creak, the entire hall fell into silence again, except for the occasional cracking sound of firewood burning in the bonfire.

Qin Yining did not relax.

Because she could feel that there was no one on the surface in this hall, but in fact there were at least two people secretly watching her every move, and they were still in different directions.

I think there must be two groups of people, because a weak woman who is following her can't afford to beat two masters, not to mention there are layers of guards outside the palace who are not afraid of her trying to escape.

Qin Yining tightened the blanket around him, wrapped himself into a ball, and lay down next to the bonfire.

At this time, she missed her home in the capital, Pang Xiao, her father and mother, and Ma and Yao.

There are also Bingtang and Jiyun, I wonder if they escaped.

Cao Yuqing didn't know she was so seriously injured.

Whether you can still live.

She and Pang Xiao had been separated for more than three months. Knowing that she was missing, Pang Xiao didn't know how anxious he would be...

Qin Yining closed her eyes, but she felt her nose was sore and her eyes were hot. Tears welled up all of a sudden. It took a lot of effort to restrain herself from crying.

Tears make people vulnerable, and she can't be vulnerable now. She wants to leave Tatar alive under Siqin's calculations and Anari's fear, so she can't let herself be vulnerable in the slightest, let alone fear or shrink. Once it happens, With such a weak emotion, what awaits her is nothing but disaster.

Qin Yining didn't sleep well that night. She was detained and monitored in a place that could not provide a sense of security at all. She had to always be on guard to see if anyone came back, so it was impossible to sleep peacefully.

But when she got up early the next morning, she was still energetic and calm as usual.

The maid is still the same as yesterday, named Wu Yahan.

Qin Yining observed that she might also be a practitioner, because she walked silently and always appeared suddenly behind her. However, Wu Yahan's temper is not annoying. He will tell her about it within the scope of what he can know. He will also explain to her the surrounding buildings and some Tatar customs. He is also attentive when serving her. .

Madam, it's almost time.

good.

Qin Yining took the cotton-padded cloak from Wu Yahan and put it on, then put on a gray rabbit fur scarf and warm boots. Wu Yahan led him outside the hall.

After leaving the side entrance of the palace, a group of guards and warriors were waiting there. The guards were each wearing animal skins, holding long bows in their arms, and their quivers were full of arrows, ready to go.

The slaves leading the horses and preparing the carriages were all in ragged clothes, with disheveled hair and miserable faces. Among the slaves there were even children of seven or eight years old and a wizened old man with a stooped figure.

Qin Yining frowned and followed Wu Yahan forward.

Wu Yahan pointed to a group of slaves and said: Madam, the Khan has ordered you to wait here.

Qin Yining understood that this was Anari's humiliation to her, but she was a prisoner to begin with, not to mention that she had never felt that she was any nobler than a slave. As a human being, who is born to be inferior? Besides, with Anari's methods, these slaves might just be ordinary herders who were defeated by various tribes during her war.

She didn't think anything of it, so she turned around and stood in the middle of a group of slaves.

The slaves stood aside with their heads bowed and their waists slightly hunched, not daring to raise their heads to see who was standing in their ranks.

Qin Yining's calm performance made Wu Yahan look at him with admiration.

Not long after, Lu Heng, wearing a chinchilla cloak, came along with Anari and Si Qin.

\u0026nb--\u003e\u003e

sp; As soon as he walked out of the arched masonry city gate, he saw Qin Yining standing among a bunch of gray-headed slaves, as if he stood out from the crowd, content and contented.

Lu Hengdang frowned in distress and said in a deep voice: General Si Qin, Princess Zhongshun has a noble status. Even though she is a prisoner with me, she should be treated with a certain amount of respect. How can she be treated like a slave?

Si Qin was very pleased with this title, so he followed Lu Heng's gaze seriously, and when he saw Qin Yining standing among the slaves, he couldn't help but said with disapproval: This is an oversight on my part. He waved his hand and told Wu Yahan, Return Don’t invite the princess over.”

No!

Ana was already unhappy when she saw Lu Heng pleading for Qin Yining. When she saw Si Qin, she immediately agreed and immediately stopped her angrily.

It was Ben Khan who ordered her to stand there! A lowly slave girl should stand there!

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at Anari strangely, Is it because I am not good at learning Tatar? A princess with a different surname can only be called a humble maid in Tatar? Then what is the fate of the Tatar royal family? How many equally humble people are there?

You! Anari glared at Lu Heng angrily, Don't forget, you are also a prisoner! I am just trying to kill you with my words, you...

So that's it. General Siqin said last night that I was a friend of the Tatars, and it is natural for friends to help each other. Today I have become a prisoner in the mouth of the Khan. So should I go and meet Princess Zhongshun now? Stand in one place?

Lu Heng was from an extraordinary background and had a noble temperament, but he looked more like a looker than Anari. In addition, the displeased look on his handsome face made Anari even more angry.

Ana was furious and wanted to whip her whip.

Si Qin reached out in time to grab the whip, held Anari's hand in his backhand, and said, Khan, calm down.

Anari looked at Siqin in disbelief, You did it for that bitch again!

Siqin's face was as dark as water, Khan, you have to be careful about what you say! You are so suspicious of me, where do you want to put me?

When Anari saw that Si Qin was really angry, she felt wronged and sullen. There were so many servants watching around her, which made her lose face even more.

She wanted to explode. She explained clearly what she had not explained clearly last night, but looking at Siqin's angry look, she remembered what her wet nurse had said——

Khan must not be so suspicious anymore. The consort is not that kind of person. If Khan repeatedly doubts and accuses, it will only make men's hearts more inclined to gentle and passionate women.

Gentle and affectionate?

Anari couldn't help but look at the hateful Qin Yining who was still looking calm and beautiful standing among the slaves again, and forced herself to control her temper.

I must kill her during today's hunt! Any kind of cooperation or business, as long as it can be cooperated with the Lumen family, this woman deserves to die!

Seeing that Anari stopped talking, Siqin's anger subsided a little, and he angrily scolded Wu Yahan: How did you lead the way? How could you lead the lady to the slave?

Wu Yahan acted according to Anari's orders and was very unjustly accused. But she also knew that at this time, in order to regain face, the master could only blame himself. Then he knelt down and kowtowed and said, It was the slave's negligence. I beg your consort to punish me.

Go and plead with Madam. If she refuses to spare you, I have nothing to say. Si Qin said this in Dazhou dialect and looked at Qin Yining.

These people had been arguing for so long before, and Qin Yining didn't understand at all. But looking at their eyes, Qin Yining could guess that they were doing it for her, and most likely because of her standing in the slave team.

She didn't expect that Lu Heng would stand up and speak for her. Although she didn't know what he said, she felt a lot more comfortable when she saw Ana's angry face turning green, and she was also very grateful to Lu Heng.

Now that Qin Yining understood what Si Qin said, he was a little amused by Si Qin's little thoughts.

If she really punished Wu Yahan, let alone Anari's fierce revenge when she turned back, wouldn't it be better if she replaced her with another maid? What's more, Wu Yahan also acted under orders, and she always took good care of her.

Qin Yining immediately waved his hand and said: Get up, you are just following orders.

She spoke Dazhou dialect, which the slaves around her didn't understand. But Wu Yahan's Da Zhou spoke very well. After hearing what Qin Yining said, although he was afraid of Ana's anger, he was also very grateful. He put his hand on his chest and saluted before standing up.

The slaves understood Tatar, but they couldn't understand what Qin Yining said. They understood the previous quarrels between the Khan, the consort and Lu Heng. Now seeing how tolerant Qin Yining is, their impression of her has become better. .

These slaves were all former nobles of the defeated tribes. They had been enslaved by Anari for a long time, and they sympathized with Qin Yining's current situation. What's more, this is a woman who looks like a fairy. Even if she is the princess of the God of War Prince of Great Zhou, it cannot change their current impression.

Qin Yining was invited to Lu Heng's side.

Ana suppressed her anger, ordered someone to give Qin Yining a horse, a bow and arrows, and couldn't wait to shout loudly: Let's set off!

Once in the mountains, she has plenty of ways to kill her!
