"Nominally, the six ministries perform their own duties, and the flying pigeon sends a letter to ask Long Zeye for instructions, but in fact, it is a fake concubine, and it can also be said that Qiao Qi controls the power." Xiahou Yan said lightly.

Jian Ning's heart sank suddenly, and there was no shortage of Ai Gaoyi's original henchmen among the six departments.

"What about General Zhenguo? He is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and the grandfather of the Yuan Concubine, so he will not sit idly by? Although Jian Ning didn't know much about the court of Yuan Chu, because of the relationship between Concubine Yuan, she still paid a lot of attention to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

"General Zhenguo has been stationed on the border between Yuanchu and Dongshang with troops all the year round, and as he gets older, he has more than enough strength to do so." Seeing that Xiahou Yan didn't answer, Wu Shi shook his head slightly and explained.

"As for the other people who can get involved, many of them have been jointly suppressed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War." Xiahou Yan continued.

The Ministry of Rites is Zhuang Tiancheng, and the Ministry of War is the brother of Yu Concubine, both of whom were Ai Gaoyi's protégés, and they chose Mingzhe to protect their lives in Ai Gaoyi's affairs back then, and did not ask for a word of mercy for Ai Gaoyi, plus they did not directly participate in the rebellion that year, so Long Zeye had the intention to investigate them at that time, but there was not enough evidence.

"If nothing else, Bingchen will soon make a move on Yuan Chu. However, the century-old foundation of Yuan and Chu, even if the dragons are now leaderless and the imperial court is smoky, with the strength of Binglan, it may not be able to take advantage. After listening to the current situation, Mianyin said in a deep voice.

Binglan's biggest weakness is the lack of troops, even if all of them learn martial arts and the art of war, they can't fully make up for the numerical deficit after all. Moreover. At least half of them are able to leave the country to fight.

Jian Ning couldn't listen to the next words anymore, others might not know, but she couldn't forget that Ai Gaoyi's death and Qiao Qi's disappearance also took away a batch of extremely dangerous gunpowder weapons.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." After Jian Ning finished speaking in a little hurry, she ran out directly.

Although Xiahou Yan and Wu Shi didn't understand why Jian Ning suddenly became so flustered, they still quickly followed.

Just out of the palace gate. Jiu'er and Ah Hai appeared. Apparently I've been waiting here for a long time.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't see Long Zeye, so I didn't finish what you explained," Jiu'er said with some shame.

"Didn't see me? I was stopped. Or is it something else? Jian Ning looked at Jiu'er and Ah Hai anxiously and asked.

"The Yuanchu Palace is simply a trap. They seem to have already calculated that we would go. Jiu'er's face was gloomy. Yu said angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that I found something strange later, I would have paid attention." Maybe he really became a king. Eighth, let them be caught. ”

"Are you hurt?" Although Jiu'er said it easily, Jian Ning knew that the situation at that time must have been very dangerous, otherwise Jiu'er would not have been so angry.

"It's not a big deal, the skin is traumatic, and it's fine after two or three days of rubbing the medicine." Jiu'er waved his hand and said.

"Let's go, let's go back to the previous yard first. Now that Zijin has entered the palace, it can be more peaceful there, and I have something to discuss with my senior brother. Jian Ning said immediately.

Jian Ning got into the carriage, Xiahou Yan just wanted to follow, but he didn't want to, but Jian Ning decisively refused: "Prince Yan, it's not appropriate for you to be a prince who always follows me from time to time, and besides, now that Dongshang is not peaceful, you better go and do your own business." ”

Although Jian Ning was polite, she finally gave the order to expel the guest.

Xiahou Yan stood in place and watched Jian Ning's carriage go away in a daze, and then ordered Feng Yang to say: "Send a few clever people to follow, and the main hall must keep abreast of Ning Er's situation at any time." Also, to check the situation on Long Zeye's side, the main hall always feels that things are not so simple. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Feng Yang nodded.

"Since Xiahou Leling is in Mianyin's hands, you don't have to follow me all the time. I promised you to keep her safe, but unfortunately I didn't. Jian Ning said lightly.

She knew that Wu Shi only had Xiahou Leling in his heart, and the safety of the world was just a responsibility he had to bear.

"Ling'er has been under the forbidden spirit spell, as Mianyin said, I can't do it now, compared to getting her back but not ensuring her safety, it's better to let her stay with Mianyin for the time being." There was a hint of sadness in Wu Shi's voice, "At least it's much safer than falling into Qiao Qi's hands." ”

"What are you going to do next? I see you seem to be nervous just now, is there any other tricky situation? Wu Shi was silent for a moment before taking the initiative to ask.

"I think I have to go back to Yuanchu as much as possible, to be exact, to go to Tianhua Mountain." Jian Ning said solemnly.

"Tianhua Mountain?" Wu Shi twisted his eyebrows and looked at Jian Ning, obviously waiting for her explanation.

Jian Ning saw that it was about to arrive, so she said, "Wait a while, when you get to the courtyard and see your senior brother, let's talk about it in detail." ”

After arriving, he went directly into Liu Leshan's room, leaving Ah Hai and Xiao Pearl to guard outside.

"Senior brother, something happened to Yuan Chu, I need to go back. Zijin is in trouble for you here, she can't be isolated. Jian Ning said directly.

"Something's wrong?" Liu Leshan looked stunned, but soon thought of something else, and hurriedly asked: "But Ning'er, you are not as good as before, you are not Concubine Yi anymore?"

"I have never changed, and the emperor has never deposed me, and I am still Concubine Yi. It's just a matter of whether I'm willing to admit it, whether I want to get my identity back. Jian Ning said with a serious face.

"But I'm always worried about you going back like this, especially in this eventful time." Liu Leshan said disagreeably.

"It's eventful, but it's the same everywhere." Jian Ning continued, "Senior brother, I know what I'm doing, believe me. ”

"Ning'er, senior brother knows that he can't persuade you, but there are still some things to say." Liu Leshan said seriously, "Master has only one daughter like you under his knees, although Master treats me like a parent, but after all, my surname is Liu and not Jane." And in terms of cooking skills, my brother is far inferior to you. ”

"Senior brother, I know that it is precisely because of this that I should go back. Even though I might not be able to do anything, I don't want to regret it. ”

Wu Shi said appropriately at this time: "Maybe it's not as dangerous as you think, at least Bingchen won't kill you completely." ”

"Sister, I'll go back with you." Jiu'er followed up and said, "Although my kung fu is not very good, I can definitely help in terms of poison medicine." ”

"Jiu'er, you need to go back, but not with us." Jian Ning looked at Jiu'er Dao. (To be continued......)
