It is said that after Luo Jia woke up the next day and learned from Qiu Yue that the jade seal was secretly hidden by Wei Xianzhong, he was furious and immediately took his men and horses to the Internal Affairs Office to arrest Wei Xianzhong.

But at the same time, Ning Yuanxing and his party also got important clues from the emperor.

That night, Ning Yuanxing and Liu Nian returned to the inn, while Jiang Chi was sent to the Internal Affairs Office to find out the news.

"My lord, do you really think that the jade seal is in the hands of Grandpa Wei?" Liu Nian asked while holding the lamp for Ning Yuanxing.

They learned from the emperor that in the process of delivering the jade seal, they also passed through the hands of Wei Xianzhong, and after getting the news that the elegy had been poisoned, the emperor immediately sent a letter to the high priest and asked him to quickly hide the jade seal in a hidden place.

But as far as they knew, when the crown prince led his troops to surround the temple, the high priest did not hand over the jade seal, of course, this does not mean anything, what if the family spared their lives for the emperor?

But then the prince sent someone to search the jade seal, and no trace of the jade seal was found, if the jade seal was transferred early in the morning, then in whose hands, with the nature of the high priest, how could he not send someone to report?

From the above signs, it can be inferred that the high priest has not obtained the jade seal, so it is concluded that the jade seal must have gone wrong in the hands of Wei Xianzhong!

And this time the palace is too smooth, just the queen alone, it is impossible to control the palace so quickly, here, there must be someone secretly assisting, the person who can have such great power is Wei Xianzhong.

Ning Yuanxing nodded and said, "It should be eight or nine or ten, but there is one thing that surprises me." Since Wei Xianzhong wants to help the prince and others force the palace, why don't he hand over the jade seal to the prince? Who is behind him? ”

"Could it be the Third Prince?" Liunian guessed.

"The Third Prince?" Ning Yuanxing was a little surprised by this answer, he looked at Liu Nian and wanted to hear his explanation.

Liu Nian organized the language and said: "My lord, you think, in the royal family, there are only a few people who have made a difference, except for the prince and the princess, that is, there are people behind the three princes, and the Wei family is also one of the three major families no matter what you say." There's still a lot of energy. What's more, if the prince forces the palace to fail, the abolition of the prince is certain, and the princess is poisoned and her life and death are uncertain. It's not very competitive either. If both of them are eliminated. Naturally, everyone could only think of the three princes who were exiled. ”

Liu Nian's words are not unreasonable, from his analytical point of view, the third prince does have a chance.

"You're right. It's just that I have never heard of Wei Xianzhong having any dealings with the third prince before. ”

Liu Nian raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "My lord, Wei Xianzhong must be extra careful about this kind of confidential matter, if he can let us perceive the relationship between the two, then he is not the one behind the scenes." ”

"Really? Listening to Liu Nian's words, Wei Xianzhong became the mastermind behind this battle for succession. Ning Yuanxing smiled faintly.

Even though the situation was imminent, he was still very indifferent, and that kind of unruly momentum made those who followed him feel extremely relieved.

Seeing that Ning Yuanxing agreed with his opinion, he felt even more encouraged, and said: "My lord, I think it is time to gather people and horses to control the three princes who are still in exile, and it is the best policy to cut off their back road!" ”

"Do you want to strike first?"

"Yes!" Liu Nian nodded, "Since Gonggong Wei has taken the jade seal, he will definitely hand over the jade seal to the three princes, we will take this opportunity to take down the three princes, and by the way, we can also find the jade seal whose whereabouts are unknown, this is a win-win strategy!" ”

"I'll think about this matter, now you go and find Ning Hai." Ning Yuanxing poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly.

Stunned for a while, Ning Hai? This name is so familiar, isn't it their leader?

The one who served by Ning Yuanxing's side in the past has always been the commander, but then I don't know what happened, and he has been left aside by Ning Yuanxing, and it is really because of that reason that he can stay with Jiang Chi by Ning Yuanxing's side, and now he is asked to find Ning Hai, and Liu Nian always feels that something is going to happen.

Ning Yuanxing saw Liu Nian in a daze, the hand holding the teacup paused, and asked, "What are you doing in a daze?" Just go. ”

"Uh...... Yes, but, my lord, if you belong to it, there will be no one here to protect your safety. Liu Nian said.

"I'm safe here, you can go and get back quickly."

Liu Nian said that he couldn't move Ning Yuanxing, so he had to give up, he nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Not long after the passing years passed, the lights of Ning Yuanxing's house dimmed suddenly, and the whole room fell into darkness, deep and dark, without any light, which made people feel gloomy.

Ning Yuanxing sat on the stool, not panicked at all, with a smile on the corner of his lips, he slowly took out another cup and said, "It's here, why don't you drink a cup of tea?" ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Qiu Yue hurried back, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked a little anxious.

"My lord, the big thing is not good, the prince's men and horses have surrounded the Internal Affairs Mansion, and Wei Xianzhong has also been taken away!"

After finishing speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Ning Hai who was standing behind Ning Yuanxing, and for a moment he hesitated, and when Ning Hai's gaze met him, he immediately shifted his gaze and continued to look at Ning Yuanxing.

Ning Yuanxing's eyes flashed, his eyelashes, which were as light as butterfly wings, shook slightly, and said, "Where did you go?" ”

Jiang Chi jumped into the house from the window and said, "Now I have been taken to the prison!" ”

"Isn't that one step ahead of us? What now? My lord? Liu Nian was anxious all of a sudden, although he had told Ning Yuanxing a lot before, but looking at Ning Yuanxing's reaction, he didn't seem to adopt it.

Ning Yuanxing didn't expect Luo Jia's movements to be so fast, and now he could only pray that Wei Xianzhong's mouth was hard enough, and the jade seal had been transferred to another place before Luo Jia left.

"Jiang Chi, you continue to keep an eye on the prince's movements, and as soon as you have any information, report it to me immediately."

"Yes!" As soon as Jiang Chi's voice fell, the person had disappeared like a gust of wind.

"Liunian, you go to the Strange People's Mansion and give this letter to a man who looks like a down-and-out scholar." Ning Yuanxing pushed the letter on the table a little towards Liu Nian, and commanded lightly.

Liu Nian picked up the letter and put it in his arms, turned around and left, without the slightest ambiguity.

As soon as the passing year left, only Ning Yuanxing and Ning Hai were left in the house, Ning Hai turned to the front of Ning Yuanxing, knelt down on one knee, and did not speak, just waited in silence for Ning Yuanxing to issue an order.

Ning Yuanxing took out the tiger talisman given to him by the emperor from his arms, and with this, he was able to gather one-third of the imperial forest army in the imperial city, although it was not as good as the prince's people, but it was better than nothing, not to mention, since ancient times, it was not uncommon to win more with less.

While playing with the tiger talisman, he asked, "I have snubbed you for a long time, Ning Hai, do you blame me?" ”

Ning Hai's body stiffened, and after a long pause, he slowly clenched his fists, raised his head and said to Ning Yuanxing: "It's because my subordinates were too ignorant before, couldn't distinguish between priorities and priorities, and were too presumptuous. ”

"Looks like you've reflected a lot." Ning Yuanxing pushed the tiger talisman towards Ning Hai.

Ning Hai was stunned, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "My lord, ...... are you?" ”

"The prince has already captured Wei Xianzhong, and it is only a matter of time before he finds the jade seal, and we have to speed up the process, if the prince finds the jade seal, we will have to consider confronting him head-on, you take the tiger talisman and go to the barracks in the south of the city to find General Lin, and give him this secret letter."

Ning Hai took the tiger talisman and the secret letter, and glanced at Ning Yuanxing deeply.

Seeing this, Ning Yuanxing asked, "Is there anything wrong?" It's not your style to be secretive, it's straightforward. ”

"Do you trust your subordinates like that?" Knowing that this kind of thing could not be said easily, but Ning Hai still couldn't help but deal with it, as soon as he said it, he suddenly regretted it, but he wanted to hear what Ning Yuanxing meant.

Ning Yuanxing just smiled faintly and said, "I've always been suspicious of people, and I don't doubt about employing people, don't you know?" ”

Isn't it necessary to use people who are not suspicious? Ning Hai's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long while, he raised his eyes to look at Ning Yuanxing, and saluted him: "My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely live up to their mission." ”

Ning Yuanxing nodded, "Well, go and go back quickly." ”

Ning Hai took the letter and the tiger talisman and ran to the camp in the south of the city, but on the way, he encountered a roadblocker.

A group of black-clothed people surrounded Ning Hai, and Ning Hai stood in the middle, looking at the people with a cold face, and did not rush forward to fight hard.

Out of the man in black came a man who was wrapped in black clothes and couldn't even see his face, he lifted the black scarf covering his face, revealing a feminine face, it was Wei Xianzhong, who was rumored to have been caught by the prince.

Ning Hai was not surprised to see Wei Xianzhong, he stood up straight and greeted Wei Xianzhong, "Wei Xianzhong, long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time." Wei Xianzhong smiled slightly, his gaze moved from Ning Hai's face to the other party's chest, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and said, "Is there something for Ning Guard to go to the camp in the south of the city?" ”

Ning Hai also smiled, put on a posture of small talk, and said, "Yes, my lord asked me to go to see General Lin in the camp in the south of the city." ”

"Oh? It's not interesting to go empty-handed like this, Ning Guard must have some token on him, right? ”

Hearing this, Ning Hai nodded and smiled, took out the tiger talisman and the secret letter from his arms, raised it in front of Wei Xianzhong, and said, "The tiger talisman and the secret letter are in hand, Gonggong Wei, please rest assured." ”

The smile on Wei Xianzhong's face was even bigger, and he walked towards Ning Hai step by step, the dark shadows around him were stunned, and some even stretched out their hands to keep them, "Grandpa Wei, it's dangerous!" ”

It's a pity that Wei Xianzhong didn't listen to that person, he didn't seem to regard Ning Hai as an enemy, and Ning Hai didn't suddenly attack Wei Xianzhong when he came over, they greeted him like friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

Ning Hai sent the tiger talisman and the secret letter to Wei Xianzhong's side, and said, "This thing is at your disposal." (To be continued.) )
