"The secret path we took went in two directions, and didn't you ever wonder where the other road leads?" Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning's face and said with a smile.

"You mean, Zijin is locked up on the other side?" Jian Ning immediately reacted when Xiahou Yan mentioned this.

At the beginning, she judged the direction based on Jiu'er's eagle, so it seemed reasonable to find Hui Jiu'er.

"As long as she's alive, there's a huge chance she'll be locked up there." Xiahou Yan spread his hands and said seriously.

"Alive?" Jian Ning grasped the words in Xiahou Yan's words very sensitively, she didn't want Ruan Zijin to do anything, and she always deliberately avoided the question of life and death.

I still remember that when I saved Zijin, Ai Gaoyi wanted her life, didn't he? Now, Zijin has really fallen into the hands of Ai Gaoyi

Seeing Jian Ning's face getting worse and worse, Xiahou Yan finally felt uncomfortable, and said lightly: "I have already sent someone to check, there should be news back tomorrow at the latest, you don't have to be too anxious."

When Jian Ning heard this, she raised her head suddenly, her eyes a little moist. After staring at Xiahou Yan for a long time, he finally stood up and respectfully bowed to Xiahou Yan and said, "Thank you, today's grace must be remembered in your heart."

After coming here, except for Senior Brother and Xi'er, only Jiu'er and Zijin were the only ones who treated her sincerely and accompanied her through the most difficult road. They were already family to her.

"Actually, you always knew that I had a plan, didn't you?" Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning, his eyes were facing each other, and there was a rare seriousness in his eyes.

Jian Ning only avoided Xiahou Yan's eyes for a moment. How could she not know. Xiahou Yan only mentioned that one condition to her, but she always had an inseparable emotion for Yuan Chu in her heart. She didn't know if it was because of her pride, she wanted to take it back to the food garden, or because this body still had some obsession that involved her unwillingness to leave here.

Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning's sudden silence, and a deep sense of loss rose in his heart, but he still maintained his usual elegance. He smiled and said, "It's not too early today. I'll send you back. If there's news tomorrow, I'll go find you."

Jian Ning nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Soon an attendant came. Led Jane out of the flower hall.

When she walked to the door, Jian Ning finally stopped, turned around and said with a light smile: "If one day, I am tired of being here. Maybe I'll go outside for a walk, but I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still accept me to step into the East Merchants at that time?"

"Nature. No matter when. What I say is always counted." Xiahou Yan replied with a smile.

When Jian Ning returned to her house, it was already late at night, but Liu Leshan and Xi'er were still waiting for her in the courtyard.

"Ning'er, it's good that you're back. Let's go get some rest early." Liu Leshan saw that Jian Ning had come back safely, and said with peace of mind.

"Hmm. Senior brother also rested early." Jian Ning replied with a smile. I just took a step and suddenly remembered something. Busy asked, "Senior brother. How many days is left for the emperor's wedding?"

"Ten days." Liu Leshan replied casually, and then felt puzzled, so he walked back to the opposite side of Jian Ning and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, just casually ask." Jian Ning smiled slightly.

After returning to the house, Jian Ning finished washing, lay on the bed, looked at the veil on the top of the bed, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

The emperor will get married in ten days, and at this time, Ai Gaoyi should be a little unable to separate. He was the prime minister and was supposed to receive some of the more important envoys of various countries. Isn't that a good thing for her?

Big wedding? After the wedding, Xiahou Yan should be about to return to China, right?

Thinking about it, Jian Ning unconsciously fell asleep. In her sleep, the scattered fragments that had not appeared in a long time reappeared, and this time it seemed to be clearer than the previous ones, and she seemed to be able to see a few people clearly

Sure enough, as Xiahou Yan expected, at noon the next day, there was definite news back. After Xiahou Yan was ready, he went to Jian Ning's place.

Jian Ning was waiting at home in a hurry, and when she saw Xiahou Yan coming, she didn't delay for a moment, and just followed.

On the way, Jian Ning slowly asked about the situation: "But have you found Zijin's whereabouts?"

"Well, I guessed right, she's in the same vault." Xiahou Yan nodded.

Jian Ning's joyful expression was difficult to hide, although Xiahou Yan couldn't bear to destroy it, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: "However, after we made such a fuss yesterday, there are now a large number of secret guard killers hidden there, and if you want to save people, I'm afraid there will be a big disturbance."

"What about Jiu'er?" Jian Ning's originally happy face immediately turned solemn, and after thinking for a moment, she asked directly.

Now that I know that Zijin is still safe, I am a lot more relieved. Since Ai Gaoyi sent a large number of people to guard there, can it be considered that Zijin still has the value that Ai Gaoyi values? As long as there is value, then it is safe, and as long as life is safe for the time being, then it can be well planned.

"Guess you're going to do that." Xiahou Yan smiled and said, "They were transferred in a hurry, and there are naturally loopholes in the arrangement, plus the environment there is not as good as being in a secret cellar, and there are organs everywhere. I believe it will be easier to break."

Jian Ning suddenly noticed that there was a pharmacy in front of her, and immediately asked Xiahou Yan to stop the carriage.

"I'm going to buy something, maybe I'll use it.". [,！ Jian Ning said simply, got out of the carriage, and quickly entered the pharmacy.

Xiahou Yan looked at the extra baggage when she came out of the pharmacy, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "You bought so many medicinal materials, what are you going to do?"

Although Xiahou Yan knew that Jiu'er and Jian Ning were very close, but in such a short period of time, let alone Jian Ning, even Jiu'er himself could not make any powerful poison from the medicine bought in the pharmacy.

In this kind of pharmacy, don't say it's poison, even the sweat medicine can't be bought!

"Be prepared, but I hope these things don't really work!" Jian Ning glanced at her burden and said lightly.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yan didn't ask any more.

About an hour later, the carriage pulled into a narrow alley. The coachman's voice sounded outside: "Master, you have arrived at Minghai Lane."

"Get out of the car." Xiahou Yan gently answered the coachman outside, and then said to Jian Ning.

"Okay."

After getting out of the car, Jian Ning looked at the small alley that could only accommodate one carriage, and looked left and right, I really didn't think that there was such a place in Kyoto.

"Why don't you see the others? Are you alone again today?" Jian Ning took a look, except for her and Xiahou Yan, there was only the coachman left, which was a little strange.

"Don't worry, I've got it all arranged. It's not going to be the two of us today." After Xia Houyan waved his hand at the coachman, he said lightly to Jian.

Once again, Jian Ning felt like she was asking an idiot's question. Not to mention that they are here to save people, they can't come to a group of people, even Xiahouyan's identity doesn't seem to be able to make a big splash

Not long after the coachman retreated, Xiahou Yan only raised his hand slightly, and immediately a black-clothed guard came out, respectfully standing beside Xiahou Yan.

"What's going on now?" Xiahou Yan restored the majesty of that faction and said to the black-clothed guard.

"Back to the master, all of them are under surveillance. There are a total of fifty people on the other side, and twenty of them are first-class masters. The rest is nothing to fear. The person was locked in a room in the main courtyard, and there were two guards at the door, and his kung fu was not high. But there are ten expert guards in the secret." The man reported the situation to Xiahou Yan one by one.

"If it's head-on, how soon will it be resolved?" Xiahou Yan asked after being silent for a moment.

The guard was obviously prepared, and without much thought, he replied: "Back to the master, if it is a simple confrontation, the subordinates and other eighteen people will confront each other head-on, and half an hour is enough. But if you want to save people, it may take a little longer."

Jian Ning noticed that the guard looked a little ashamed when he talked about the back. In Jian Ning's opinion, this kind of ability is already extraordinary, Jian Ning doesn't know, why does the guard still have such an expression.

"This temple gives you an hour to take care of everything." Xiahou Yan said with a calm face.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." The guard barely hesitated, and immediately fell to his knees.

Xiahou Yan waved his hand, and the man disappeared silently as when he came.

"Is an hour really okay?" After the man left, Jian Ning said suspiciously. After all, the other party is fifty people, and there are twenty masters, and they are only nineteen people if they count Xiahou Yan. And listening to the meaning of Xiahou Yan's words, it seems that he has no intention of making a move.

Seeing Jian Ning's suspicious eyes, Xiahou Yan directly took Jian Ning to a roof, leaned down, and said lightly: "If you don't believe it, then take a look with your own eyes."

Jian Ning was originally in the surprise just now, but when she heard Xiahou Yan say this, she immediately gathered her eyes in that courtyard.

"Is this the place where Jiu'er is being held?" Jian Ning looked at the people who were constantly patrolling the yard and asked softly.

"Hmm." Xiahou Yan only replied faintly in a nasal voice.

"Didn't you say there were many secret guards? Why are we all peeking around here, and we don't see them finding anything?" Jian Ning suddenly asked very skeptically.

"Do you want to be discovered?" Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning with an unclear look.

"Why, I'm just curious."

"Do you think there are masters everywhere? This is the outside, so naturally there will be no secret guards." Xiahou Yan once again glanced at Jian Ning with the eyes of an idiot.

And if there is no Jian Ning by his side, with those people, I am afraid that he will not be able to find himself in this life! (To be continued)
