Chapter 122: Woe to the Wooden Box (2)
"Ling'er is imprisoned, I hope to use your power to bring her out safely." Wu Shi said straight to the point.
When Jian Ning heard this, she was slightly stunned, then put down the kettle in her hand, turned around, and said with a smile: "You say this, can you be regarded as acknowledging your relationship with Xiahou Leling?"
"I've never denied it." Wu Shi replied simply.
Jian Ning said with a slight regret on her face: "It's a pity that you seem to overestimate me, I may not have that ability right now. Besides, I think it wouldn't be difficult for you to save someone with your abilities."
"Long Zeye imprisoned her in a Xuantie cage, without a key, even I can't do anything." Wu Shi shook his head helplessly and said, "But for Long Zeye, I think you are more useful than anyone else."
"Darkiron cage?" Jian Ning was taken aback, she originally just thought that Xiahou Leling was simply imprisoned, but she didn't expect it to be so strict.
"What the hell did she do?" Jian Ning frowned and asked.
"I think I need to tell you a piece of history before I can answer your question." Wu Shi didn't intend to hide from Jian Ning about the wooden box, because he could feel that Jian Ning would be a key key in this matter.
Jian Ning and Wu Shi entered the house one after the other, and after sitting down, Jian Ning dismissed the people in the house, closed the door, and let Ah Hai and Little Pearl stay outside the door. However, fortunately, Ah Hai and Xiao Pearl didn't know Wu Shi's identity, otherwise it would have reached Bingchen's ears, and it would have been a big incident.
Wu Shi told Jian Ning in detail everything he knew about the wooden box. In the end, he said with a lot of resentment in his tone: "In order to break off the relationship with Dongshang, Ling'er made a deal with Xiahou Yan and helped him steal the contents of the Yuanchu wooden box."
Jian Ning didn't speak for a long time, no wonder Ah Ye would treat her like this. It turns out that there is such a strict thing in the middle.
"She's got it, isn't she?" After Jian Ning calmed down her mood, she looked at Wu Shi and asked seriously.
"Sort of. When Ling'er just got the thing, Long Zeye went to the imperial study, and naturally it was impossible to take the thing away, but Ling'er wrote down the contents and passed the news to me." Wu Shi said truthfully.
After listening to this, Jian Ning almost subconsciously asked, "Have you gone to tell Xiahou Yan the news?"
"Yes. According to Ling'er's requirements. I went to him before I came here."
"I have another question, listen to what you just said, you have found the location of the wooden box before. Why didn't you just take it back then? This doesn't have to be risked by Xiahou Leling, is it?" Jian Ning asked with a puzzled face.
"Because every Wu clan patriarch has sworn a poisonous oath not to assist any emperor, and not to help anyone to conquer the world. If you don't do it, you might cause war, or you will live forever. He will be separated from his wife, his family will be ruined, he will be lonely for life, and he will not die well." Even if he swears such a poisonous oath. Wu Shi's tone was still as flat as water, "You know exactly what the contents of that wooden box do, so I can't steal it at all."
Jian Ning's heart froze. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "I can find a way to help you rescue Xiahou Leling. But I have my conditions."
Now that Xiahou Yan has gotten what he wants, even if Xiahou Leling is locked up, there is no point in it, it is better to go with the water and make a deal with Wu Shi.
"On what terms?" Wu Shi's eyes were stained with a layer of gloom, and he asked a little vigilantly.
"I can't sue you yet, but I can promise that I will never let you go against your principles. It's just that in your future, I may need your help." Jian Ning said lightly.
"Okay, I promise you." Wu Shi thought for a while, and immediately agreed.
"You go first, if people know your identity, it's not a good thing after all." After Jian Ning paused for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened between Binglan and the Wu Clan in the first place?" Why would the Binglan royal family suffer such a vicious curse?"
"There are very few records of this even in the Wu Clan, so I don't know much, and it's impossible to change anything." Wu Shi shook his head and said.
In fact, he has always faintly felt in his heart that something must have happened between the Wu clan and Binglan back then, or that Binglan was feared by the Wu clan patriarch and the elders for some reason, so he took almost exterminating measures against Binglan.
Because there may be some shady things mixed in with this, there is no detailed record.
When Jian Ning heard this, her heart felt as if she had been cut by a knife, and it hurt and hurt. Jin'er is so good to her, does she have to watch her lose her lover, or even face the grief of a white man sending a black man in the future?
"Whatever the reason was, three hundred years have passed now, and this qiē should not be borne by those innocent descendants, I hope you can think of a way to end their fate." Jian Ning looked at Wu Shi, with sincerity in her eyes, and said seriously.
"If I have the chance, I can find another way to investigate the things of the year and find a solution as much as possible." Wu Shi is not a ruthless and indifferent person after all, and finally nodded in agreement.
After Wu Shi left, Jian Ning's heart couldn't be calm. Things seem to be already working towards an ending she doesn't want to see.
The next few days were unusually calm on all sides, but this was probably the calm before the rain.
Jian Ning has been concentrating on how to rescue Xiahou Leling for the past few days. Now is not the time for her to go back to the palace, so she can't go to Long Zeye in a grand manner. But the key is on Long Zeye's body again, so the only way is to find a way to make Long Zeye have to open it. [,! ] cage up.
After discussing with Jiu'er for a few days, Jian Ning finally decided on a plan, and after it was determined, she had to start preparing, but before implementing the plan, most of the preparations were considered Jiu'er's, so Jian Ning was also happy to be idle.
It was rare to have time, and thinking that he hadn't seen Bingchen for many days, he took Little Pearl and Ah Hai and walked towards the courtyard where Bingchen was.
There was no one to stop him all the way, it was very smooth, and after asking a guard to know that Bingchen was in the study, Jian Ning went directly to the study.
When I got to the door of the study, I just wanted to knock on the door and go in, but suddenly I heard the sound of conversation inside.
"How's it going these days?"
"According to the original plan, starting from the coastal towns, through guò to create small unrest, spread rumors of war, hoard materials, and raise prices, the economy of many coastal towns will now be in danger of being paralyzed. And it won't be long before this turmoil will expand again, and even Kyoto will probably not be able to avoid it." (To be continued) R752
