Chapter 042 - Calculation in Calculation (2)
Jian Ning looked at Jiu'er's puzzled face and explained, "You continue to find a way to get to Ai Duo'er's side, so that you can know their movements, and secondly, you can check Long Zeye's situation at any time." β
"Now that Yuan Chu has no one in charge, no matter how Ai Duoer and they monopolize power, they can't stop Long Zeye from returning to Yuan Chu, otherwise they will inevitably attract suspicion. Therefore, they will also leave for their home country in the near future. Jian Ning said firmly.
After pondering for a moment, Jiu'er nodded and said, "Okay, this time I will definitely think of a proper way, and I won't fail again." β
After all the discussions were made, Jian Ning set off on the second day. She only brought Wu Shi and Ah Hai, leaving Xiao Zhu for her safety and to keep track of Ling Sui and Bingchen's situation at any time.
During this time, Jian Ning's ability to ride a horse has improved a lot, although she can't gallop well, but there is no big problem in riding a horse.
On the second day after their departure, they received news that Prince Yan of Dongshang and Emperor Yuan Chu had resigned to Lingsui and set off for China.
And on the third day, Bingchen said goodbye to Ling Sui and left.
On the same day, there was a riot in the coastal area of Yuanchu, and a large number of Binglan troops landed from the coast, surging and attacking Kyoto City, and the war between Yuanchu and Binglan began.
After five days of rushing overnight, Jian Ning and the others finally arrived at the border between Lingsui and Yuanchu, because of the war, Yuanchu's border defense was tighter than usual.
In order to rush back as much as possible, Jian Ning couldn't care about anything else, took out the gold medal she had taken from Long Zeye a long time ago, and said coldly and majestically to the general of the border: "This palace is the concubine of Chaoyi." The emperor's gold medal is here, who dares to stop it! β
The general stepped forward to glance at the gold medal in Jian Ning's hand, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Niangniang Chitose!" β
But the general did not get out of the way, but asked solemnly: "Dare to ask Niangniang, why don't you see Your Majesty and the honor guard?" β
Everyone in Yuan Chu knew that Concubine Yi Niangniang went to Lingsui with the emperor, how could she come back alone on a horse now?
"The emperor is unwell and can't travel overnight, but he knows that the situation is urgent now, so he specially ordered the palace to take the first step and return to the court to convey the holy will!" Jian Ning is neither humble nor arrogant. Yan SΓΉ said seriously.
The general was still skeptical. He looked extremely hesitant.
"Why, do you want to disobey the order and commit the following crimes!" Jian Ning's body suddenly appeared with an unprecedented momentum and majesty.
"The lower officials don't dare." In the end, the general retreated respectfully to the side and said. "Mother, please."
When Concubine Yi passed through here with Her Majesty XiΓ as an envoy to Lingsui. He was also lucky enough to have seen it. It does look the same as the woman in front of her.
After passing the border, the next part of the road will be much smoother.
"If you use the name of Concubine Yi so blatantly, you are not afraid that Ai Duoer and their side will receive news. Not good for you? Wu Shi asked as he rode his horse.
"Since I have decided to come back, I will face her sooner or later. Take 10,000 steps back and say, I am the real thing, she is the one who is impersonating, if you are afraid, she is afraid! Jian Ning glanced at Wu Shi again, and said with a cold smile, "If she wants to harm me, then isn't there you!" β
"Do you know, the night before I set off, I watched the stars at night, and I took a hexagram for you." There was a hint of mystery on Wu Shi's face.
"What does the hexagram say, is this going to be evil or auspicious?" Jian Ning asked casually.
Although she knew that Wu Shi was not an ordinary person, she still did not accept divination and hexagrams.
"I want to know, too, but there is nothing on the hexagram, it is blank"
"A blank slate?" Jian Ning didn't care so much, but these four words made her heart nervous inexplicably.
"In the history of the Wu clan, whether it is evil or auspicious, as long as it meets the conditions for divination, you can more or less get a trace of heaven."
Wu Shi paused, looked at Jian Ning, and continued: "There are only two situations in a blank space, one is a person who has no future, that is, a person who is about to die; There is also a kind of person who is separated from the world and exists. β
Jian Ning's heart suddenly tightened, she came from another world, she didn't belong to this world, she should be regarded as a person who existed out of the world, right? But if that's the case, how can you talk about the future?
She always thought that with this body, she was no different from others, and it turned out that YiqiΔ was just her own self-deception.
"Have you ever met one?" Jian Ning asked Xiang Wushi's voice suddenly became low, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
"I've encountered the first one or twice before, but if it's the second, I don't know how to answer." Wu Shi's eyes shone with a light that had never been seen before.
"Why is it difficult to answer?" Jian Ning didn't notice Wu Shi's gaze, lowered her head, and asked as if unconsciously.
"I think you should already have the answer in your heart, and naturally you don't need my answer." Wu Shi said lightly.
How could a person who had been waiting for nearly three hundred years be a person who would die so easily, and if he was really an ordinary person, how could he let the Wu clan wait for nearly three hundred years.
In the next few days, although Jian Ning could always hear the news about the war, she never heard the news of Binglan's use of explosives, so she also kept reassuring herself in her heart that things might not be as bad as she thought.
After about half a month of driving day and night, Jian Ning finally arrived at the foot of Tianhua Mountain.
She told Eighteen to fly up and tell Xi'er to put down the mechanism so that they could go up.
Xi'er was very happy to see Jian Ning, but she didn't see much surprise. As if he had already guessed that she would come.
"Miss, I haven't seen you for two years, you have become beautiful, but you have also lost weight" Xi'er looked at Jian Ning and said distressedly.
She and Miss grew up together, and Miss treated her like a sister, how could she not care about Miss.
Jian Ning looked at Xi'er and was surprised, Xi'er now is very different from before. Maybe it's because she knows more things and people become more confident, so she has a special charm on her body, which is very attractive. It's not the little girl who followed him before.
"Xi'er, I'm going to go to Master Ruan's study." Jian Ning said directly, "You can help me greet the two of them." β
"Okay, Miss, just go." Xi'er smiled and nodded. Turning around, he generously beckoned Wu Shi and Ah Hai to rest.
After entering the study, Jian Ning immediately entered the secret room, rummaging through the shelves for books related to explosives and large weapons.
In modern times, she only cooks and occasionally plays games, and she doesn't know anything about this weapon specialty, so she has to make up for it now. At the very least, she must know the principle and structure of these things, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, so that she can have the capital to confront Bingchen.
