When the words fell, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became meaningful, and Xie Ning's heart moved, so he looked at him steadily.

Xiao Yan suddenly understood, his voice paused slightly, and then said: "Therefore, this person who lured Miao Jiang not only promised money, but also helped with troops. ”

When Xie Ning heard this, countless names flashed in his mind. Although she doesn't know the temperament and appearance of these people, she has been in the army since she was a child, so she is naturally exposed to it.

But after covering the number of people in charge of military power in all parts of Great Qin, she couldn't imagine that anyone would be so despicable, secretly colluding with Miao Jiang for her ulterior motives to sabotage this peace negotiation.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xie Ning's eyes, raised his head, and said directly to Xiao Yan: "Do you have any guesses about this person's identity?" ”

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he frowned, looked at Xie Ning secretly, and said, "I don't know about this." But Sister Xie, have you ever thought that maybe the person we just talked about is not single, and there is something else to rely on behind it? ”

A single person, how can he make Miao Jiang's heart move.

"You're right."

Xie Ning's voice fell, but his gaze still did not leave Xiao Yan's face, a pair of apricot eyes did not blink, his expression was stern, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Xiao Yan, who was standing opposite her, was a little panicked, tilted her head slightly and staggered her gaze, before she couldn't help but say loudly: "Don't look at me like this, these are all what Qin Ziyue said to me." You don't want to think about it, I'm just an idle person, where can I see so many things. ”

No wonder.

Xie Ning nodded with a clear expression. She was actually just thinking about the motives of the people behind the scenes, and staring at the other party was only unconsciously, but there was no need to explain these at this time.

Now that Qin Feng had already been mentioned, in front of Xiao Yan, she didn't have to pretend to twist anymore, so she simply asked out loud with a casual face: "Was he summoned to the palace to discuss this matter?" ”

Xie Ning was very calm, but Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and only came back to his senses after a while, "Oh." Oh, yes. ”

Having said that, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, and secretly said that Xie Ning was inevitably too sharp. Although it is a good thing to be concerned about Qin Feng, you can ask about this. But he didn't know how to deal with it.

After all, Qin Feng had repeatedly told him that there were some things that he couldn't tell Xie Ning.

And what Xie Ning asked just now happened to belong to the category of these things.

In this way, he had no choice but to respond briefly twice, and as much as possible, he revealed the matter.

Alas. It's all because Qin Ziyue called him over. Otherwise, if he stays outside, why would he go to the Jingyang Marquis Mansion to perfunctory Xie Ning.

Xiao Yan's face was a little angry for a while, and when Xie Ning saw this, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and some doubts appeared in his heart, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Not much," Xiao Yan replied casually, his eyes fell on Xie Ning, only to notice the strangeness of her expression, and his heart suddenly stirred. For fear that she would see the flaws, she subconsciously pursed the corners of her lips and complained half-truthfully: "It's not because of Qin Ziyue." If he hadn't been relieved of you, I wouldn't have had to bother to make this trip, and I would have to come to you in the name of visiting Gaohou. ”

Xie Ning glanced at him, and his heart had already turned a thousand times, but he didn't say anything to respond.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan snorted, casually dealt with the matter, and left the Hou Mansion.

Of course. Before he left, of course, Xie Ning would not forget to tell the other party that if he heard any news, he must find a way to inform her in time.

To avoid people's eyes. Xie Ning didn't go out directly to see him off, but stayed in the study for a while, counting that the time was almost up, before pushing the door out.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw the back of Gao Daonian standing in the pavilion. Xie Ning hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle." ”

Gao Daonian turned his head. There was no surprise on his face, but he looked at Xie Ning with a smile in his eyes and said, "Now you are finally at ease, right?" ”

Although Xiao Yan was able to come to the door in the name of coming to visit, if he didn't have the permission of Uncle Hou, I was afraid that the two of them would not be able to see each other.

When Xie Ning heard this, he didn't know that her strange appearance in the past few days had been seen by the other party. Knowing that Uncle Hou was interested in helping each other, his heart was even more moved.

After all, Xiao Yan did let her know a lot of news on this trip...... Although she still can't help but worry at this time, since there are still people behind this matter, no matter how impulsive she is until she doesn't know the other party's motives, it will only be useless.

Xie Ning's mood was still a little heavy at this time, but she didn't say anything to Gao Daonian, she just pretended to be nothing, and acquiesced.

"That's fine," Gao Daonian didn't see her cover-up, nodded with relief, and then said with emotion: "Fortunately, Xiao Gongzi came to the door today." Otherwise, if we want to know the news of Shudi, I'm afraid we will have to wait for a long time. ”

Xie Ning reluctantly squeezed out a smile and echoed: "After all, he is the son of Xiao Shangshu, and it is common sense that he knows more than us." ”

But he deliberately didn't mention Qin Feng a word.

As soon as the words fell, Gao Daonian's eyes couldn't help flashing, and he glanced at Xie Ning thoughtfully, which made Xie Ning feel a kind of weakness that was seen through for no reason.

She couldn't help but look calm, although her face was pretending to be calm, her eyes couldn't help but focus on Gao Daonian, for fear that the other party would see some flaws.

And the latter didn't say much, just patted Xie Ning's shoulder lightly, and said with relief: "Don't worry." I am also sending someone to inquire about the situation on the other side of Shudi. If there is news of your father, my uncle will definitely tell you. ”

Xie Ning's heart warmed, and he bowed his head solemnly and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"You girl," Gao Daonian's eyes softened, and his voice softened a little for a moment, but he said angrily: "I still talk so much about etiquette with my uncle." Between you and my uncle and nephew, why bother to say thanks. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

He said this very naturally. But Xie Ning listened, but suddenly he was in a trance, only to feel that this conversation was very familiar, and for some reason, the scene when he got along with Qin Feng in the past appeared in his mind.

At that time, when she first entered the capital, she was still an ignorant little girl, she didn't understand anything, and she often caused trouble, every time she had Qin Feng to clean up the mess for her, to give her advice and guidance.

For this, she didn't know how many thanks she said to the other party. And Qin Feng didn't know how many times he had said such a polite refusal to her.

To this day, she can recall the other person's clear tone.

"Ning'er, what are you thinking?"

Gao Daonian's voice interrupted Xie Ning's thoughts. As soon as she came back to her senses, she met the former's concerned gaze.

It's about Qin Feng, but she can't tell the truth.

An imperceptible hesitation flashed in Xie Ning's eyes, and after a moment of silence. Fang Cai said: "It's nothing. ”

When Gao Daonian saw this, he couldn't see that she was deliberately concealing it, but he had no intention of pursuing it. After carefully looking at the expression on Xie Ning's face and confirming that she was not abnormal, he said to her with a pleasant face: "Okay." I've been worrying too much these days. I see you're a little tired right now, so go back to your room early, and after dinner, go and rest. ”

"Okay." Xie Ning barely pulled out a smile, and went back to the small courtyard as he said.

***

Xiao Yan's re-entry came quickly, and it was only three days after the last time.

The two still met separately, but unlike last time, this time Gao Daonian was not in the mansion, and Xiao Yan did not deliberately find an excuse to cover it up, but went straight to Xie Ning's residence in the Hou Mansion.

As soon as you enter the small courtyard. He didn't even look closely before he frowned unabashedly.

Xie Ning had already learned the news of his arrival, and when he went out to greet him, he took his change in expression into his eyes.

Although I don't know the reason, I can't help but feel a little worried.

After the two entered the main hall, Xie Ning motioned for Mingshuang and Gu Sui to go out, and they didn't greet Xiao Yan, so they asked directly, "What's wrong?" But is there news of Shudi? ”

"Hmm," Xiao Yan nodded, and didn't sell much of it. The sentence said briefly: "Now there is a report that the Shu army and the Miao people have officially started a war. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared and imagined the possibility of this happening, when Shainin personally heard the news of the war between the two sides. But it is still inevitable that my heart will sink.

Shu is in turmoil, and I don't know how many innocent people will be affected, and I don't know how many soldiers will be killed or injured.

And Peng Yongjun naturally can't stay out of the matter.

"Is the battle very fierce," Xie Ning relieved himself, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "How is the communication in Shudi?" I haven't received a letter from my dad in a month. ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Xie Ning solemnly. He immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know." However, the date of the war between the two sides was almost a month ago. General Xie did not receive any letters, perhaps because of this. ”

The other party's words were extremely reasonable, Xie Ning couldn't help but nodded slowly, and he didn't notice the hesitation that flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes for a while.

"Sister Xie."

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yan's voice suddenly came from his ears, Xie Ning subconsciously raised his eyes and replied with a little doubt: "Huh? ”

Xiao Yan glanced at Xie Ning without saying anything, and his peach blossom eyes were full of thought, obviously weighing himself.

Xie Ning was panicked by him, and intuitively felt that what the other party wanted to say to her would not be good news, and his mood was heavy for a while, but he didn't show anything on his face, but just looked at Xiao Yan calmly and said, "Brother Xiao has something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

"I do have something to say to you," Xiao Yan glanced at Xie Ning hesitantly, and then sighed softly: "Qin Ziyue has already left the palace. ”

Xie Ning's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he couldn't care about anything else for a moment, so he subconsciously asked, "What happened?" Could it be that the palace is deliberating...... Shouldn't it have ended so early? ”

Seeing the concern on her face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but move in her heart, and her expression became more and more solemn, but she said falsely: "Actually, I shouldn't have told you about this." You also know Qin Ziyue's temperament, if he knows that I sued you, I'm afraid that my life will be lost. ”

After listening to Xiao Yan's previous words, Xie Ning was still in the mood to joke at this time, frowned, and said directly: "When is it?" You just say it. If he wants to settle accounts with you afterwards, you can say that I forced you to do it. ”

Xiao Yan originally just wanted to test Xie Ning, but when he heard this, he didn't beat around the bush anymore, and after bowing his head slightly, he told the truth: "The affairs in the palace are indeed not over yet, Qin Ziyue left the palace ahead of schedule this time, because he got the emperor's will to lead the troops to Shu to quell the chaos." ”

"What?" Xie Ning's mind suddenly became blank, and there was a look of surprise on his face, and he looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief and said, "How can it be...... There are so many generals in Great Qin, why do you have to let him go? What's more, Beijing and Shu are thousands of miles apart, and by the time he leads his troops over, the war may have already ended...... Isn't the emperor dizzy? ”

"Shhh ”

Xiao Yan's voice fell, and Xie Ning realized his gaffe, his face turned red, and he nodded curtly.

"Heh," Xiao Yan suddenly sneered, and said with a disdainful expression: "The additional troops are drawn from near Shudi, and they want Ziyue to go alone, passing through various post stations, and the royal horse is also a good horse that is prepared." Such a rush did not take that long. ”

After a slight pause, Xiao Yan clasped his arms and continued with an angry face: "But what you said is not wrong, but it is not dizzy." Qin Xi said a few words, and the ministers in the palace echoed one after another. Thanks to his thoughtfulness, this time he actually succeeded again. ”

When Xie Ning heard this, his eyelids jumped immediately, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is this matter still related to Qin Xi?" ”

Recently, the wind has been calm, and she has no intention of causing a storm when the other party is still the other party. I didn't expect ......

"Naturally, he got in the way," Xiao Yan complained with a cold face: "What do you say Shu is Ziyue's fiefdom." If something happens, he should deal with it. I don't want to think about who owns the Yan Land that was rampant with bandits before. ”

Xie Ning had heard Qin Feng mention the fiefdom, so he knew the other party's relationship with Shu. But after listening to what Xiao Yan said before, he knew whose fief Yan Land was.

Qin Xi.

"This move is too despicable," Xie Ning frowned, and said with a solemn expression: "It's never easy to fight the Miao people, can't he refuse this matter?" ”

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and after hesitating again and again, he still couldn't help but say loudly: "You still don't know what Qin Feng is like. This matter was indeed designed by Qin Xi at first. But if he had no intention of going, how could he be in this situation? Sister Xie, I don't think you should worry too much. ”

Xiao Yan's meaning, Xie Ning heard clearly. But the situation in Shu was so critical, it was too slim for her to believe that Qin Feng was taking advantage of the situation, and it was too slim to go there happily.

In fact, she didn't feel the need for Qin Feng to deal with this matter at all.

The other party had never concealed it in front of her, and she also knew that Qin Feng intended to store his position. If it was just for military merit, he wouldn't have to take such a big risk at all. (To be continued.) )
