Chapter 248: Wait and see
The matter of Yandi, Xie Ning had heard Qin Feng mention it, so he knew a little bit about it, and naturally knew that the things that could make Qin Xi bother to design were definitely not as simple as they seemed to be.
can stay in the prince's fiefdom for a long time and oppress the people, how can they be ordinary bandits.
But Qin Feng didn't know their identities.
If the person who is against them is Qin Xi, it is fine, but if it is this group of people of unknown origin, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and it is not easy to deal with it freely.
Xie Ning's mind turned, and she couldn't help but sigh silently, but a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, which made her change color immediately.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that her expression was strange, Qin Feng did not write panic on his face, but asked calmly.
Xie Ning hadn't come back to his senses yet, and subconsciously covered his chest, still shocking himself: "What if these two forces join forces?" β
Before her words fell, Qin Feng already understood, and a sharp light flashed under his eyes, but he said thoughtfully: "What you said is right, this matter is very likely." I went to Shudi, it was Qin Xi's design. But the current situation in Shu is ...... Maybe it was the group of people who did it in the shadows. β
"Ah Ning," Qin Feng suddenly put his elbow on the table between the two, and naturally leaned closer: "Wei Qingyang really has ulterior motives for marrying you, I suspect that he has something to do with this group of people." β
When the marriage contract is dissolved, the marriage becomes a feud. Wei Qingyang judged that the attitude of the two of them did make Xie Ning's teeth cold, but if he colluded with the people behind the scenes, Xie Ning still didn't believe it in his heart.
"After all, he is the son of the Duke of Wei, and now the situation of the Duke of Wei is unknown. The saint is no longer there, but it is just a brocade of flowers and a bright surface," putting aside his personal opinions, Xie Ning tried his best to let go of his prejudices and calmly analyzed with Qin Feng, "Even I, the so-called daughter of a criminal minister, are afraid of it, let alone personally stick to this kind of thing?" β
What's more, because of the jealousy of the emperor, the Duke of Wei has always been low-key. Except for guarding the border gates, the rest of the things are almost ignored.
If it is said that they are the masterminds behind this disturbing the situation in Shudi, Xie Ning will definitely find it hard to believe.
Qin Feng shook his head and smiled, and said meaningfully: "The Duke of Wei is indeed timid and cautious. But Wei Qingyang is not a person who is willing to be mediocre. β
When Xie Ning heard this, his mood suddenly became a little complicated. She understood Qin Feng's temperament, and if he was not very sure about this matter, he would naturally not talk to her. It can be seen that when Wei Qingyang acted in the past, he must have shown a lot of traces.
Her heart sank. It's not because she's sad, it's just that Wei Qingyang colluded with the people behind the scenes, and on the other hand, he talked to her about marriage, so why not play with her between applause!
At that time, she really thought that Wei Qingyang came to her to quit her family, but it was because of the pressure of the elders in the family.
Xie Ning secretly gritted his teeth, and for a while secretly regretted that the lesson he had taught Wei Qingyang that day was too light.
I knew that he was such a sanctimonious person, she should have used more force when she smashed the jade pendant of Na Laoshizi!
She was still gritting her teeth, but Qin Feng thought that she was still sad about that marriage, so she suddenly turned cold. said in a light tone: "But these are mostly speculations in my heart, if I want to confirm them, I can only tell the truth after I go to Shudi." β
Keenly aware of the alienation and coldness in Qin Feng's voice, Xie Ning immediately put away the thoughts in his heart, raised his head, looked at Qin Feng inexplicably, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it the same as me, and my heart is not angry? β
is not angry in his heart, is it because Wei Qingyang regrets his marriage, or is it ...... It's the same as myself. Is it because Wei Qingyang lied to her?
Hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes couldn't help flashing, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and he said to Xie Ning with an unpredictable attitude: "Are you angry in your heart? β
"yes." Xie Ning nodded subconsciously, "I have been calculated, so I am naturally not happy in my heart." β
At this point, Xie Ning couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.
She is not a decent gentleman, and she broke off the marriage. Ben really wanted to return to the bridge with Wei Qingyang, especially after Qin Feng learned the truth about Wei Qingyang's calculation of her, the grudge between the two could be said to be getting heavier and heavier.
The other party has already had a plan, and he doesn't want to find a way to retaliate back, so it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart. But with her current strength, she can't move the other party at all......
Alas.
Xie Ning secretly wrinkled a small face.
Qin Feng seemed to know her thoughts, glanced at her, nodded at her thoughtfully, and smiled: "It's worthy of Xie Ning I know!" But no matter how much you hold a grudge, it's useless to hide it in your heart. When you are admitted to the position of female officer in the Ministry of War, it will be much easier to make a stumbling block for the Duke of Wei. β
Isn't this just giving them small shoes, and I don't know if it counts as using power for personal gain. Xie Ning glanced at Qin Feng silently, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth had already revealed her eagerness.
To tell the truth, although Qin Feng's idea of this song for her was a little unauthentic, Xie Ning was really a little moved.
Thinking that Wei Qingyang might have done a lot of things that were not beneficial to them in secret, Xie Ning suddenly felt that it was not bad to do "bad things".
With a smile on his face that was already uncontrollable, Xie Ning simply stopped hiding it, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, and looked at Qin Feng.
This sight made her lose her mind.
Qin Feng was also smiling, but he was also smiling, and his demeanor was much more amazing than Xie Ning'sβat least among the people Xie Ning had seen in his life, Qin Feng's smile was the best she had.
It's not that she hasn't seen Qin Feng's smile before, a smile that doesn't reach the bottom of her eyes, a shallow and alienated smile, a smile from the heart, a laugh that disdains ridicule, and a chic and complacent smile......
But it can't be compared to making people unable to take their eyes off it at this time.
Qin Feng smiled very subtly, but the corners of his lips were lightly hooked, half of his teeth were not exposed, and his eyebrows and eyes, which looked extremely cold on weekdays, suddenly had a little more fireworks smell, which made people very happy to see it for no reason.
A pair of black eyes reflected the figure of Shainin, like a tacit understanding.
The two looked at each other, and Shainin suddenly heard the sound of his heartbeat, but he didn't retract his gaze.
She has known Qin Feng for so long, and she knew that the other party was born extremely well as when she first met. The beauty is always pleasing to the eye, and Xie Ning is naturally willing to take a second look.
But at this moment, she looked at Qin Feng, but it was not for this reason.
Why did Fang Cai's short glance suddenly give her a sense of heart-to-heart.
It's as if as long as it's the person in front of you, no matter what the two of them say or do, they can be understood by the other party.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart.
Even the poems that were originally obscure to read, Xie Ning suddenly understood at this moment.
It turns out that this is the heartbeat.
It's just that it feels like something is wrong......
Xie Ning feathered his eyelashes, and then looked at Qin Feng. There was clarity in her eyes again, but when she saw her smile became more and more vigorous, she said, "You are very right." It seems that I should do this in the future. β
After all, it fell short.
The smile on the corner of Qin Feng's mouth suddenly became a little bitter, but it was only put away in a moment. He nodded as if nothing had happened, and said with a full expression: "That's why I'm talking to you." You don't want to go on a trip to Shudi. Now for you, the women's official examination is the most important thing, and I am about to leave Beijing, so I am afraid that there is not much I can do for you. You can read the book with peace of mind, and don't let my hard work go to waste. β
Qin Feng has indeed done a lot for her. Xie Ning was a little silent for a while, and unconsciously bit his lip. Only then did he whisper, "I understand." β
She believed Qin Feng, since the other party said that the situation in Shu was not as dangerous as she imagined, then she didn't have to go, which made her father and Qin Feng more worried.
After all, she had more important things to do.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the entrance examination for female officials is just for the glory of the family, for a good name, or for power and status, but she wants to give herself a support, and at the same time protect the people close to her.
She is not a person who does not know good and evil, and she can distinguish between truth and falsehood. Qin Feng persuaded her several times, but she kept it in her heart, and naturally she could take it lightly, and she would not act impulsively.
Passing the female official exam is indeed much more meaningful than her going all the way to Shu.
What's more, although Qin Feng never said anything, after seeing the alienated attitude of the Marquis of Jingyang, she did not know anything about the situation between the DPRK and China.
Now that her father's accusation has reached the royal front, although she, the daughter of the so-called criminal minister, has not been condemned, it is enough to keep others at a distance. Qin Feng was not a favored prince in the first place, even if the news that she was living in King An's Mansion was not known to outsiders. But once she followed to Shudi......
Qin Feng had enough things to think about, and she didn't want to cause trouble to the other party anymore.
"That's good," Seeing that Xie Ning had compromised, Qin Feng couldn't help but look relieved. But he said with a little embarrassment: "You are very talented, and you learned well in Yan Wuguan before. Although it is not as accumulated as others for ten years, it is not a problem to deal with the female official examination. β
"It's okay to be on the side," Qin Feng paused, and looked at Xie Ning without a trace, but after seeing the latter's expression as usual. Fang Cai continued: "It's just that after I leave, I'm afraid that you will have no one to guide you in your schoolwork, and you will take a detour, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."
Xie Ning couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You can't help but underestimate me too much, is it that in your eyes, I am so stupid?" β
It is undeniable that she does not have any talent in this area, but diligence can make up for it, not to mention that with Qin Feng's guidance, even if she is afraid of rotten wood, she can open her mind.
In addition, in addition to the imperial shooting, all she actually needs to prepare is books and chess.
In terms of calligraphy, she can rely on copying Qin Feng's calligraphy to figure out how to improve. As for chess, she can also go one step further by playing with Mingshuang through guΓ².
Xie Ning has always been very confident in herself, because she didn't take Qin Feng's worries to heart at all.
This made Qin Feng, who had insight into her thoughts, very helpless, "Naturally, I won't underestimate you." It's just that there is no one to guide you, so don't you have to work harder. Ah Ning, I have already sent a post to Lianshan Academy, and they will allow you to enter the academy in three days. That way, when I'm gone, I don't have to worry about you anymore. β
Xie Ning is not from the capital, so he naturally doesn't know much about this Lianshan Academy. But what Qin Feng arranged for her was naturally not an ordinary place.
It is naturally good to go to the academy to study.
Xie Ning didn't worry about anything else, he was just afraid that after this matter came out, it would cause inconvenience to Qin Feng.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning secretly, and said in a hesitant voice: "Where is this Lianshan Academy?" If I had entered under your name, would I have caused you trouble? β
"Naturally not."
Qin Feng smiled slightly, but it made Xie Ning feel stable for no reason. She opened her mouth, even though she was skeptical, but she didn't know whether to ask or not.
Adversity sees the truth, between her and Qin Feng, there is really no need to care about this. Sometimes she calculates too clearly, but it makes the two of them separate.
Qin Feng was thoughtful, and had already planned for her. What Xie Ning can do now is not only to do what he can to help the other party, but also to cherish himself according to the other party's arrangement, so as not to distract the other party from her anymore.
"I know," Xie Ning also smiled at him, and in order to dispel the worries in his heart, he deliberately said in a lively tone: "Sir, don't worry, when I arrive at the academy, I will definitely attend classes well, and I won't embarrass you, sir." β
"Heh," Qin Feng smiled briefly, but the smile in his eyes was very sincere, and he said happily: "Then I'll wait and see." β
When the meal time was approaching, the two chatted casually, and then moved to the main hall on the side to eat.
Qin Feng still had something to deal with in the afternoon, so after eating, Xie Ning went back to his room.
The courtyard where she lives now is exactly adjacent to Qin Feng's residence, both in a secluded place on the west side of Qiushi Garden, and the people who come and go are also confidants of the palace, so Xie Ning is very comfortable staying in the room.
After drinking a bowl of bitter medicine juice and resting for a while, she began to draw the topographic map she had prepared for Qin Feng again.
Although the departure date is still undecided, since Qin Feng has already begun to arrange her future affairs, there is no need for him to say, Xie Ning can also sense that the day of departure is gradually approaching.
The matter of drawing up a topographic map is becoming more and more urgent.
This is not just to help Qin Feng, Xu Banxia mentioned to her that the reason why she will accompany Qin Feng to Shu is because the Miao people are good at using the two techniques of poison and Gu, and she needs to deal with it.
Otherwise, when the two armies were fighting, if their soldiers of Great Qin accidentally fell into the trap of the Miao people, wouldn't the situation not be optimistic?
The Miao people are cunning, and the people of Shu such as Peng Yongjun have been fighting against them for many years, and they can still deal with them.
But the reinforcements that were brought in from the surrounding areas were not a tough opponent to compete with.
Of course, the Miao people are not all three-headed and six-armed, and they are all good at driving poisons. In terms of numbers and supplies, they Daqin still had the upper hand.
There is naturally no problem for the two sides to fight head-on, but if they go to the mountains and forests, I am afraid that the Miao people are even better.
This matter is a difficult problem for the Shu army, but if there is this topographic map drawn by Xie Ning now, the problem can be solved.
After all, Xie Ning has not been born and raised in Shu for more than ten years, and once her topographic map is promoted, the Shu soldiers will be able to distinguish the terrain with this thing, and when they reach the place where the Miao people live, they can also take precautions in advance. (To be continued.) )
