Qi Ning thought for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, what identity did I use to go over this time?" Is it overt or covert? ”

"I've already figured it out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The little emperor handed over a thing, "You will go as a messenger, Mingli is to supervise the army and suppress thieves on behalf of the imperial court." Speaking of this, he handed over the gold medal from last time, "You also carry this gold medal, and you may not be able to mobilize Xichuan's soldiers and horses, but with this gold medal in hand, they don't dare to disobey too much on the surface." ”

Qi Ning was angry and gold-medaled, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know how to do it." ”

"Qi Ning, I know that this may not be very peaceful." The little emperor hesitated for a moment before he said: "But you are the person I trust the most, I can't sit back and watch someone want to mess up my Great Chu, so I can only send you there, you have to be careful in everything, whether the Black Rock Cave rebels or not, as long as you investigate the truth clearly and bring the evidence back to me, you have made a great contribution." ”

Qi Ning knew that the little emperor was very suspicious of the matter of Xichuan, and thought that the little emperor had been worried about the matter of Xichuan for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, you sent me to Xichuan, can you know about the loyalty?" ”

"I only said that I would send someone to investigate, but I didn't elaborate." The little emperor said: "But he will always know, it doesn't matter, Sima Lan is also suspicious of Xichuan's affairs, I'm afraid he has already sent someone to investigate secretly, but if he investigates the truth, he may not be able to report it to me honestly." ”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, and the little emperor said again: "I originally wanted to pick a few helpers for you from the Yulin Camp, but after thinking about it, you still choose your own cronies and attendants to accompany you, and I won't send you people." ”

"Yes." Qi Ning knew that this sentence seemed to be nonsense, but it had a deep meaning.

If the little emperor sends someone to follow him, it will inevitably make people feel that he is sending someone to follow him as his eyes and ears, and if the little emperor does not send someone, it will also show his complete trust in himself.

"Qi Ning, you pack up and leave as soon as possible." The little emperor said: "I'm only worried that someone in Xichuan is too anxious, and before you arrive, they will fight." ”

Qi Ning is actually worried about this, the little emperor is trying his best to maintain the peace of Xichuan, so before there is no conclusive evidence, he will not easily make a move on the Black Rock Cave, so as not to arouse the hatred of other Miao Caves, after all, there is a Black Lotus Holy Sect in Miao Jiang, and the Black Lotus Holy Sect has always wanted to gather the forces of the Miao people in the seventy-two caves to be the enemy of the imperial court, and attack the Black Rock Cave without full evidence, just if the Miao people seventy-two caves are pushed to the side of the Black Lotus Holy Sect.

The new monarch has just ascended the throne, and the situation is undecided, at this time, the most important thing for the imperial court is, of course, the stability of the country, once Xichuan is really in turmoil, it will naturally be extremely unfavorable to Dachu.

Qi Ning knew the true thoughts of the little emperor.

Neither can let the Miao people have hostility towards the court, but it can't make the Miao people have no fear of the court, it is best not to fight, but if the Black Rock Cave is really messy, it should be fought naturally, but before starting, it is necessary to let the other Miao Caves understand that this is the Black Rock Cave to make trouble first.

The little emperor is the dignified monarch of the empire, and he may not really care about the small black rock cave, but the forces involved behind the black rock cave incident are what the little emperor is most concerned about.

Qi Ning said goodbye to the little emperor and returned to the Hou Mansion, the little emperor had already said that he wanted to leave as soon as possible, he naturally did not want to delay, so he called Duan Canghai and Zhao Wuxian over, and said about the preparation to go to Xichuan, both of them were a little surprised, Duan Canghai frowned and said: "Master Hou, Xichuan Mountain is high and the road is far away, you have never been to Xichuan, how can the emperor send you there?" ”

"The decree has been given, and it is useless to say this." Qi Ning said: "After I leave, the Black Scale Camp will be handed over to you, the emperor has already said that he will send people to help, and if there is anything missing, just ask the court for it." ”

"Master Hou, Lao Zhao stays, and I will accompany you to Xichuan." Duan Canghai immediately said: "I have been to Xichuan, although I am not familiar with Xichuan, but! ”

"You and Zhao Wuxian put their minds on the Black Scale Camp, this is the most important thing for you." Qi Ning said: "Qi Feng just take a few people with me." ”

Qi Ning's heart is very clear, with his current cultivation, it will never be under Duan Canghai, if he can't solve the matter, even if he brings Duan Canghai, it will not help, but it is the reconstruction of the Black Scale Battalion, but it is inseparable from Duan Canghai.

Duan Canghai was still arguing, but Qi Ning stopped him with his hand and explained again, and when the two saw Qi Ning insisting, they knew that it was useless to say more, so they could only comply.

This trip to Xichuan is a long way to go, and I don't know how long it will take to come back, Qi Ning naturally wants to explain to Gu Qinghan, but since the last time, the two have not sat down to talk well for a long time, and they haven't even been alone with each other.

Although Qi Ning was a little embarrassed in his heart, he still looked for Gu Qinghan, wanted to explain to Gu Qinghan, and looked around the house, only to know that Gu Qinghan had gone to the backyard.

After Gu Wenwen took his family into Beijing, he has been living in the Hou Mansion, although the house has been cleaned up, but Gu Wenwen has been busy with a few shops after the year, the Gu family has bought a shop in the capital before entering Beijing, and after the seventh day of the first lunar month, he began to store goods, although Gu Wen's interest in doing business is far less than that of dancing knives and guns, but as the head of the Gu family, the family's business cannot be thrown away after all, so these days they are focusing on the store, and they have not been able to find time to move out of the Hou Mansion for a while.

Qi Ningjing arrived in the backyard, and before he entered the house, he heard laughter from inside the house, and when he arrived at the door, he saw several female dependents talking around the house, and he didn't know whether to go in or not, Gu Qinghan sat in the house, and saw the figure in front of the door, his eyes were very sharp, his red lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Gu saw it in her eyes, but she had already gotten up and said with a smile: "Master Hou." Only then did the others appear Qi Ning and stood up and saluted.

Qi Ning was a little embarrassed, and entered the house hard, and said, "Hello old lady, things have been busy these days, and I haven't come over to say hello to the old lady, so I came here to see the old lady today." While speaking, he glanced at Gu Qinghan out of the corner of his eye, only to see that Gu Qinghan didn't look at himself, but took the unfinished embroidery from the side and looked at it casually.

Seeing this situation, Qi Ning was even more embarrassed.

The people on Mrs. Gu's scene hurriedly said: "Master Hou is polite, the whole family has been disturbing the Hou Mansion for a while, and it is really annoying to Master Hou." ”

"The old lady is polite, they are all a family, don't say anything extraneous." Qi Ning hurriedly said, hesitated, and saw that Gu Qinghan ignored it and didn't say a word, so he and the old lady naturally didn't have much to say, and finally said: "I'm going out of Beijing tomorrow, and I don't know how long it will take to come back, the old lady will stay in the mansion for a while, just say what you need!"

Gu Qinghan had been pretending to be careless, and when he heard Qi Ning's words, his delicate body trembled, and he immediately raised his head, and couldn't help but say, "You want to go out of Beijing?" Where to go? ”

Qi Ning heard Gu Qinghan's voice, and his heart suddenly relaxed, feeling that Gu Qinghan's tone was obviously concerned, and his heart couldn't help but warm, secretly thinking that although this beautiful young woman was fighting a cold war with herself on her face, she still cared about herself in her heart after all, but there were many people in the house, Qi Ning could only express himself naturally: "The emperor summoned me to the palace and sent me to be sent out to supervise the army, and the time is relatively tight, so I will clean up today and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

He didn't tell him in public that he was going to Xichuan.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "The emperor sent the marquis to supervise the army, and that is the marquis." ”

Gu Qinghan had already gotten up and said to Mrs. Gu and the others, "Mother, you sit down first." Without saying much, he walked over, passed by Qi Ning, and glanced at Qi Ning, then twisted his waist and walked out quickly, Qi Ning knew what Gu Qinghan meant, so he bowed his hand to Mrs. Gu and the others, turned around and went out.

Gu Qinghan walked lightly in front, Qi Ning followed a few steps behind, looking at Gu Qinghan's swaying and beautiful back, thinking that he couldn't talk to Gu Qinghan these days, it was really a little depressing.

Out of the backyard, Gu Qinghan walked to the pavilion by a pool, and waited for Qi Ning to come in, then he turned around and looked at Qi Ning expressionlessly, then snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the pool.

Facing this charming and pretty woman, Qi Ning was a little nervous at this time, seeing that Gu Qinghan didn't speak, he could only get closer to him, but he didn't dare to get too close, three steps away, he stopped his steps, hesitated, and finally said: "Sanniang, you!" ”

"If you don't go out this time, won't you be ready to talk to me all the time?" Gu Qinghan glanced at Qi Ning and said angrily.

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Sanniang, you have misunderstood, I want to talk to you all the time, but I am afraid that you are not willing to talk to me, so!" ”

"I knew now, why bother." Gu Qinghan bit his moist red lips and glanced at Qi Ning, "If it weren't for your lawlessness, you wouldn't be like this, it's all your fault." ”

Qi Ning said: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, if I don't do anything to Sanniang!" ”

"You're still talking nonsense." Gu Qinghan stomped his feet and glared at Qi Ning, his cheeks flushed slightly, charming and charming, and delicate.

Qi Ning was busy and didn't dare to continue.

Gu Qinghan sighed lightly, glanced at him, and said, "Are you leaving tomorrow?" Where are they going? ”

"Nishikawa." Qi Ning said: "Xichuan officers and soldiers blockaded Heiyan Ridge, a barracks was sneak attacked, dozens of people died, it was said that Heiyan Cave sent people to sneak attack, Wei Shutong's soldiers and horses will attack Heiyan Cave at any time, the emperor is worried that there is something strange here, and he is even more worried that Xichuan will fall into turmoil because of this matter, so he sent me to investigate the truth." ”

Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "There are so many people in the imperial court, why did they send you?" Aren't you still going to train the Black Scale Battalion? ”

"If you want to find out the truth, you must come into contact with the Black Rock Cave." Qi Ning said: "The Miao people are suspicious, ordinary officials send them over, and the Miao people will not believe it, our Qi family and Heiyan Cave have a relationship in the past, and the emperor may value this." ”

Gu Qinghan's charming eyes were full of worry, and his tone carried a hint of complaint: "Doesn't the emperor know that when the old marquis conquered Xichuan, he killed many people over there, and also formed a lot of grudges, and sent you there, isn't this letting you go to the fire pit?" Can you tell the emperor to send someone else? ”8
