Return of the Swallow

ao, so she would definitely be safe.
There was nothing more for him to worry about.

After making up his mind, Lu Heng turned and leapt onto his horse, leaving with Cao Yuqing and Liao Zhibing.

Pang Xiao watched Lu Heng leave, his lips pursed for a moment before returning to a carefree grin.
He took Qin Yining’s small hands hidden under the overcoat and wrapped them in his large palms, huffing on them gently to warm her up.

“Are you cold? Let’s go back to the tent and rest a bit.”

Qin Yining nodded with a smile, carefully picking up the hem of the overcoat so that it wouldn’t drag in the snow and pick up mud.
With her other hand firmly in Pang Xiao’s warm, dry grip, she followed after him wherever he went.

“When do we enter the city?”

Pang Xiao smiled.
“We need to raise some sort of fuss that’ll attract everyone’s attention in order to facilitate Brother Lu’s group sneaking into the city.
After lunch, I want to order men to bring a message to the city saying I’ve returned with my princess consort, and that they should open the gates and kneel on both sides in welcome.”

Qin Yining giggled at that.
“His Majesty’s definitely already arranged his men in the capital.
The whole world already knows you’ve committed treason and run off to Tatar to find me.
There’s bound to be people monitoring you, waiting to arrest you as soon as you return, and you want them to kneel in welcome? Don’t tell me you mean kneeling in fear?”

Pang Xiao was indifferent.
“Whether it’s us beating them into kneeling, or them kneeling in fear, it doesn’t matter as long as we’re not the ones kneeling.”

He gently patted her head.
As his hat was a bit big for her head, his motions scattered her upswept bun and sent the hat falling over her eyes.
It made for a truly adorable scene.

Qin Yining glared at him, using her hand to steady the hat.
“What are you doing?”

However Pang Xiao firmly kept the hat over her head, blocking Qin Yining’s line of sight as he stooped down and softly bit her lips before his nimble tongue darted in, winding and dancing with her own.

Without her sight, Qin Yining’s other senses were much sharper.
She felt like she was about to erupt in flames.
Breathing in his breath, even her entire body was surrounded by his fragrance.
Perhaps due to the lack of oxygen, but for a moment, even her knees went weak.

When she came back to her senses, she discovered Pang Xiao that placed her on the simple wooden platform in the tent.
His body covering her’s, he lifted himself up with a hand by her cheek.
Fires seemed to blaze in his eyes as he stared at her, flames that couldn’t be stopped and blazed into an inferno, engulfing her as she too burned up.

Qin Yining naturally ended up sleeping through lunch.
