After leaving the princess's mansion, Shen Ning couldn't help but turn his head to look at the princess's mansion again.

He has lived for two lives, and he can be regarded as having seen the world, but when he encounters a woman like Princess Changle, he also feels helpless.

If you are someone else, Shen Ning has already scored three times.

But Princess Changle is his eldest cousin, and she is involved too much, Shen Ning doesn't want to intersect too deeply with her and cause trouble.

The only thing that is fortunate is that Yang Jian is too upright, he didn't see anything, there are too few honest people like this, if Wu Dalang has his character, he doesn't need to drink medicine.

"Hey, let's continue to avoid her, and when we leave the imperial capital, everything will be fine. As a matter of urgency, I still have something important to investigate! ”

Shen Ning and Yang Jian said goodbye and immediately went to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

After seeing Meng Xingchen and He Xuanwu, Shen Ning asked bluntly, "Two uncles, is my mother still alive?" ”

"How do you know?" He Xuanwu was taken aback.

Only then did Shen Ning understand that He Xuanwu seemed to have something to say when they met last time, and it seemed that this was the case.

Meng Xingchen couldn't hide it, so he explained: "After we arrived in the imperial capital, we accidentally saw the former female official next to your mother and saw her enter the palace. So there were suspicions, but they were not confirmed. In fact, think about it, when your mother died of illness, it was all news from the palace, and it was probably fake. Although something happened to the Shen family, it would make Her Royal Highness the princess heartbroken, but the princess didn't let her shave her eyebrows, and you were rescued again, princess, she must live well, for you, and to help the Shen family avenge, so we suspect that Her Royal Highness the princess is not dead, but imprisoned in the palace. By the way, where did you get the news from? ”

Shen Ning talked about what Princess Changle had missed, and at the same time did not let Princess Changle be entangled.

"In this way, Her Royal Highness the princess is indeed not dead, she is in the palace!" Meng Xingchen firmly believed.

Shen Ning nodded, and said, "But you have to be sure with your own eyes!" ”

At this time, Shen Ning was a little excited.

Although he is a time-traveler, he has fused the memories of "Shen Ning", so Shen Ning has the memories of two lives. In his previous life, he was an orphan without a father and a mother, and he originally thought that he would be the same in this life, but he didn't expect that there was a mother, Shen Ning was naturally excited.

"It's a pity that we can't enter the palace, how can we check?" He Xuanwu frowned and asked.

Meng Xingchen said: "Shen Ning, you can use Princess Changle!" ”

Shen Ning sighed, "Third Uncle, I can't wait to stay away from her now, you still let me use her, if you want to use her, you have to play the emotional card, this is playing with fire!" ”

"We believe in your proportions, and it's the only way." Meng Xingchen replied.

Shen Ning naturally understood what he meant, but he really didn't want to provoke Princess Changle, so he said, "I'll think of other ways, it's really not good, it can only be like this." ”

......

As soon as he returned to the Southeast Palace, Sima Haiyun hurriedly found him and handed an invitation to Shen Ning.

"This is sent by the king of Runan." Sima Haiyun said.

Shen Ning opened the invitation and saw that Sima Liang had a banquet three days later to invite other princes and Sima Haiyun, the purpose of the banquet was to enhance their feelings, after all, they were all princes who were divided into various places, although they all had troops, but their strength was limited, and they must unite and cooperate in order to deter Emperor Sima Zhou. If it is a plate of loose sand, it is possible to be annihilated one by one.

Sima Haiyun said: "King Runan specially explained, let me be there, and asked me to give King Qi a few more glasses of wine, so that King Qi will not make things difficult for me if he is in the way of the elders." Shen Ning, do you think I should go? ”

Shen Ning frowned and did not speak immediately.

"Shen Ning, you are smarter than me, and you think comprehensively, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, I naturally believe your words!" Sima Haiyun hurriedly said.

Shen Ning said: "Shizi, what I said next is wrong, it makes you unhappy, please forgive me." ”

"You say!" Sima Haiyun said.

Shen Ning then expressed his suspicions: "Shizi, the character of King Runan is not like someone who can come up with such an idea, not to mention, King Qi's temper is a person who will extinguish the fire if he toasts a few glasses of wine?" The unity of the eight kings is a good thing, because in this way we can avoid being divided by the emperor, but we must be clear that there are many gaps between the eight kings, and no one obeys anyone, so it is difficult to unite calmly! Even if there is a wine banquet, it should not be the king of Runan, he is the youngest of the eight kings, and the others are all elder brothers. ”

"That makes sense, so you think this is a good feast?" Sima Haiyun agreed: "Since this is the case, then I will refuse because I am unwell." ”

"No no! King Runan specially explained, let the prince be present, if you don't go, you won't give him face, and you will be bad with him. So I still have to go, but I don't want to stay long, sit down, and then leave on the grounds that I am not feeling well. Moreover, doesn't the prince want to know the real purpose of this banquet? Shen Ning smiled.

Sima Haiyun shook his head and said, "I don't want to know, I just want to stay in the palace honestly and return to Xuzhou safely." ”

You don't want to know, but Shen Ning wants to know!

So Shen Ning comforted: "I will accompany the son of the world, and I will definitely protect the safety of the son." Maybe I'm wrong. ”

"Okay then." Sima Haiyun could only nod in agreement.

Shen Ning did not lie to Sima Haiyun, in his opinion, there was indeed something wrong with this banquet, as Shen Ning said, King Runan is not like such a diligent person, then he has other plans, and Jia Xu is by his side to assist, so he has to make Shen Ning vigilant.

Jia Xu is known as a poisoner, and he kills without seeing blood, what if he instigated this banquet held by King Runan?

In addition, Jia Xu is a person who can even pit the lord, if this banquet is from him, what is his real intention?

Shen Ning felt that it was necessary to contact Jia Xu in person.

Fortunately, the system has its own 70% favorability, although Jia Xu will not be like Zhang Liao and Li Ru, the favorability directly becomes loyalty, but it also gives Shen Ning the opportunity to contact.

"Shizi, I'll personally go to the King of Runan to send a reply, and take a look at the situation by the way." Shen Ning said.

Sima Haiyun is naturally undoubted.

Subsequently, Shen Ning asked people to prepare a reply and went to Runan Wangfu in person.

With Shen Ning's qualifications, he naturally couldn't see Sima Liang, but he also had to be greeted by someone with status, so that there was a number of courtesies, and sure enough, it was Jia Xu who came to greet him.

Shen Ning presented the reply and said with a smile: "On the order of my family's son, I hereby reply to the post, and at the banquet in three days, His Royal Highness my family's son will arrive, please rest assured." ”

Jia Xu took the reply and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince is too polite, and he also sent Lord Shen to run in person." Jia prepared tea, and invited Lord Shen Jun to enjoy his face and drink a cup! ”

This was originally a compliment, but Shen Ning responded directly: "Okay! ”

Jia Xu smiled even more, and immediately understood that Shen Ning's purpose this time was to come to find him.

The two of them moved to a side room in the palace to have tea.

"I heard that Shen Gongzi is from Youzhou?" Jia Xu asked.

Shen Ning nodded and said, "It's Shanggu County in Youzhou." ”

"Shanggu County, it has been occupied by the foreign Xianbei." Jia Xu asked.

Shen Ning said: "That's right, from the north of Yanjing, it has been occupied by Xianbei, and my family has also moved away, and I can only watch my hometown and compatriots being invaded by foreigners, and I have no power to backhand, and I regret it." ”

"So is my hometown." Sympathy, Jia Xu also sighed.

Shen Ning took the opportunity to ask, "Mr.'s family has moved away?" ”

A deep pain flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, he shook his head and didn't speak.

Shen Ning was taken aback.

If Jia Xu's family hadn't moved away, it would have fallen into the hands of a foreign clan, how could there be a chance for vitality?

"Jia likes a sentence: Be alone, but my family takes 'self-discipline and revenge' as the ancestral motto, the clansmen have a strong personality, and they fight to the death in the face of foreign enemies, and in the end, the whole family is gone, only I am left." Jia Xu said in a deep voice, looking sad.

Jia Xu is completely egoistic, as he said, it is his life motto to be alone, but his family is a Confucian family with his own perseverance and beliefs. In the face of foreign enemies, they did not flee but faced the battle, and finally all of them died.

"I'm sorry, why did Jia say these sad words." Jia Xu has always been cautious, but today for some reason, he has a good impression of the young man in front of him, and he didn't control his emotions for a while and confided in his feelings.

Shen Ning said: "It doesn't matter, we are all people who have the same disease, and we are ashamed to say that my clansmen, including me, are all greedy for life and afraid of death." If the Great Jin can unite as one, how can they be afraid of foreigners? Chaotic countries are the greatest scourge. ”

Shen Ning was indignant.

Jia Xu said: "Jia has countless people, and it can be asserted that Shen Gongzi is definitely not a thing in the pool. Childe's departure from Youzhou was not greedy for life and fear of death, but for the world. Youzhou has been decayed and full of forces, and it is difficult to make new achievements, but Xuzhou is different. The king of the southeast is seriously ill, the son of the world is stupid, and the power to lead the troops is in the hands of Shen Gongzi's uncle Li Yuanxiao. You can defend against foreign tribes in the north, you can Qin Wang in the south, you can have no worries about the sea in the east, and you can deter Yu, Yan, Jing and other states in the west. ”

With Jia Xu's prudence, he naturally investigated Shen Ning as well.

Shen Ning did not deny it, but said: "Thanks to Mr. Jiyan, the king of the southeast and the prince of the world are very important to the subordinate, so they will definitely protect Xuzhou in the subordinate, and naturally they can't let outsiders hurt the son." ”

Jia Xu paused slightly as he drank tea, and said with a smile: "For Shen Gongzi, the prince of the southeast really can't have an accident, he is very important!" ”

"Mr. assists the prince of Runan, and I believe that he also has a plan." Shen Ning responded immediately.

The two have their own thoughts, but they have been playing dumb riddles, and they can't be open and honest.

"Jia Mou doesn't have any plans, just to get food by the prince's side and ask for stability! If you anger the prince one day, you will have to be kicked out. Jia Xu said casually.

Shen Ning said with a smile: "Mr. is a talented person, if you go out for a walk in the future, you can go to Xuzhou to go around, and Shen is willing to entertain Mr. with a big gift at that time." ”

Hearing Shen Ning's solicitation, Jia Xu immediately smiled.

"Good!" Jia Xu felt that Shen Ning had a great appetite for himself, so he didn't say anything to refuse. In his opinion, Shen Ning's future should not be underestimated, once he controls Xuzhou, he will be a prince.
