"Jiugong Mountain?"

In the imperial study, Long Tai was a little surprised and said, "The fourth Huanyu map that Beitang Yu said is in Jiugong Mountain?" ”

Qi Ning sat on the chair and nodded slightly: "According to him, this fourth Huanyu map was secretly left by himself. At that time, he personally presided over the drawing of the map of the universe, and the number of participants was large, divided into many teams, each team was responsible for a part of it, and in the end, many maps were put together by him himself, and the territory map of the Northern Han Dynasty was drawn. He knew that such a map was precious and abnormal, and once he handed it in, even he might not be able to see the whole map, so he kept a copy in private, but he didn't mean anything else, but he felt that the map of the universe that he had spent so much effort to draw should always be kept in his own hands, which was also a souvenir. ”

"I've heard the name of Jiugong Mountain." Long Tai frowned and said: "As far as I know, Jiugong Mountain is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, in the territory of Liaodong, but Beitang Yu is a relative of the Northern Han Dynasty and has been living in Luoyang, how could he put the Huanyu Map in Jiugong Mountain?" ”

Qi Ning said: "He said that the Huanyu Map was placed in the hands of a person he trusted extremely much, and that person would never give the Huanyu Map to anyone unless he saw Beitang Yu's handwritten letter. He took out the letterhead from his bosom and presented it: "Your Majesty, this is the letter written by Beitang Yu himself, and I have also read the content, and I asked the other party to hand over the Huanyu map to me." ”

"In your hands?" Longtai was stunned: "Beitangyu asked you to pick it up?" ”

Qi Ning said: "What Beitang Yu means, even if there is this letter, if I don't go to pick it up in person, the other party will not hand over the Huanyu map." He also said that the man would recognize me as soon as he saw me, and that if he were someone else, he would not have been able to go up the mountain at all. ”

Long Tai sneered: "Is Beitang Yu playing any tricks?" He has been imprisoned for a long time, if he wanted to hand over the Universal Map, he should have handed it over a long time ago, and he has dragged it on until now, and suddenly asked you to come over, and he really told the clues of the Universal Map, Qi Ning, don't you think there is something strange in this? ”

"The minister also thinks it's a little weird." Qi Ning said: "But judging by the attitude he spoke at that time, it doesn't seem to be fake." Moreover, he proposed that we should send someone to rescue his family in Luoyang, since he is concerned about his family, he should not gamble with their lives. ”

"What else does he have?"

"He said we were going to send someone to Luoyang quickly, and if I got the Universal Map, I would let him reunite with his family." Qi Ning said: "In addition, he wants us to ensure their personal safety in the Chu State, and also to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing." ”

"If the whereabouts of the Huanyu map he said are true, even if he is knighted, it will not be a big deal." Long Tai said: "Our army is still stalemate in the territory of the Han State, if we can't break through Zhong Liao's defense for a long time, the pressure on the imperial court will be more and more, and in the end, it really can't be done, so we can only withdraw the army for the time being." His expression was solemn: "If we can get the Universal Map as soon as possible, then we will know the terrain of the Northern Han Dynasty clearly, and that map is worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers." ”

Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, without further ado, every day of delay of our army, there will be one more day of attrition, the minister asked the emperor for permission, and the minister immediately set off to Liaodong to retrieve the Huanyu map to Jiugong Mountain." ”

"You let me think about it." Long Tai's expression was grim: "What Beitang Yu said is true or false, we can't be sure yet, if Jiugong Mountain is a trap, he deliberately led you to ...... with the Huanyu map!"

"Your Majesty, it has been nearly a year since Beitang Yu was captured by us in Xiangyang, and he has been imprisoned in the Shenhou Mansion these days, he knows nothing about the outside news, and it is absolutely impossible for him to contact people outside." Qi Ning Zhengse said: "The minister believes that he has no chance to lay a trap in Jiugong Mountain. When he fell into our hands in Xiangyang, he had already cut off any contact with the outside world, and he would never have thought that one day I would go to Jiugong Mountain, so it is not very likely that he will set a trap. ”

Long Tai thought about it for a while, and although he felt that what Qi Ning said was not unreasonable, he was still suspicious and asked: "Beitang Yu is a member of the Northern Han royal family, do you think he will turn his back on the Han Kingdom because of his family?" Family and country, which is more important, doesn't he know in his heart? ”

"Maybe he knows that the Northern Han Dynasty is at the end of the road." Qi Ning said: "The battle for the throne of the Northern Han Dynasty, the royal family killed each other, suffered heavy losses, Qu Yuangu entered Luoyang under the banner of Beitang Feng, and now he has held Beitang Feng in his hands as a puppet, Beitang Yu may know that the luck of the Beitang family has been exhausted, and he is disappointed, and there is no longer hope for the Han Kingdom, so he wants to protect his family." ”

Long Tai's eyebrows tightened, and Qi Ning arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, after we arrested Beitang Yu, we have always treated him very thoughtfully, and in the final analysis, we still hope to get the Huanyu Map from his hands." Now that this old guy has finally opened his mouth and told the whereabouts of the Universal Map, we naturally can't give up looking for the Universal Map because we suspect that what he said is false. ”

Long Tai also knew that the Huanyu Map was too important to the current Chu State, and now that he had an opportunity, he really couldn't miss it, so he groaned slightly, and then said: "I will send you people from the Shenhou Mansion, you will enter Liaodong in disguise, and when the time comes, it will be best if you can get the Huanyu Map back, but if the situation changes, you would rather not have the Huanyu Map, and you will also give me back intact." ”

"Your Majesty, if there are more people going this time, it will be easy to attract attention." Qi Ning said: "Although the minister can only do some three-legged cat kung fu, he can protect himself in any situation." This time I went to Jiugong Mountain, if what Beitang Yu said was true, it would naturally be better to be able to retrieve the Huanyu map smoothly, if there was really a situation, the minister would withdraw immediately, and he would never be greedy for the map. ”

"Three-legged cat kung fu?" Long Tai showed a smile: "If you are a three-legged cat kung fu, no one in this world knows martial arts." Knowing that Qi Ning's martial arts have reached an extremely powerful realm, as Qi Ning said, if you really encounter any situation, Qi Ning's martial arts self-protection is still more than enough, and he groaned slightly, and finally said: "This trip to Liaodong, you must be cautious, I am waiting for you to return triumphantly." He got up, walked to Qi Ning's side, patted Qi Ning's arm, and said with a smile: "There is one thing I want to ask you, and you have to answer honestly." ”

Qi Ning said: "If the emperor asks, he should report it truthfully." ”

"A few days ago, I sent a girl from the palace to your house." Longtai said: "Your lady is not jealous? ”

Qi Ning's head suddenly grew big, knowing that the girl Longtai said was Zhuo Xian'er, Zhuo Xian'er had been recuperating in the palace for a few days, of course Longtai already knew her identity, thinking that you really don't open which pot to mention, the dignified monarch, don't worry about national affairs, come to inquire about the private affairs of the courtiers, and can only smile bitterly: "The emperor can rest assured, this matter must be settled slowly." ”

Long Tai laughed, and said in a low voice: "I tell you something, the queen is already pregnant.......!" ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "This is a great thing, congratulations to the emperor." ”

"I mean, you should hold on tight." Longtai said in a low voice: "Before, you were newly married Yan'er, and you were going to the northwest, and now you haven't rested for a few days, and you are going to Liaodong, I think I really can't help you, before parting, work harder, and let your wife get pregnant as soon as possible." ”

Qi Ning was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "The minister should make persistent efforts, don't dare to slack off!" ”

After leaving the palace, Qi Ning did not return to the palace, but turned back to the Shenhou Mansion, this time of course, it was not to see Beitang Yu, he knew that the emperor naturally hoped to get the Huanyu map as soon as possible, and the soldiers on the front line hoped to be able to gain insight into the geography of the Han Kingdom with the Huanyu map, so he went to Jiugong Mountain to retrieve the Huanyu map, naturally the sooner the better.

It's just because Zhuo Xian'er was sent to the palace, obviously it made Ximen Zhanying very unhappy, she didn't even return to the house in the past two days, she was about to travel, she couldn't say goodbye, this pass had to be passed sooner or later, it was better to pass it sooner or later, and it was better to pass it sooner rather than later, and she always had to solve the matter before she traveled.

Although the Shenhou Mansion is a heavily guarded place, it is a special case for Qi Ning, and the officials guarding the gate of the yamen all recognize Qi Ning, so they naturally will not stop it.

Qi Ning entered the yamen, and was thinking about how to let Ximen Zhan Ying lose his anger later, when he heard an exclamation not far away: "It's amazing, little junior sister...... Little junior sister is going to kill someone......! ”

Qi Ning was taken aback, followed the sound and looked, only to see two officials of the Shenhou Mansion running over in embarrassment, as if there were demons chasing after them, embarrassed.

Just as he was surprised, he heard Ximen Zhan Ying's voice coming from not far away: "Han Tianxiao, you make it clear to me, you can't run ......!"

Qi Ning was even more surprised, couldn't help but follow the sound over, arrived at an arch, before he went in, three or four people ran out of it, he was about to ask, but saw Han Tianxiao had run out of the arch, this Wenqu captain of the Shenhou Mansion has never been alarmed, but at the moment he was panicked, went out, saw Qi Ning, as if he saw a savior, and shouted: "Lord Wang, you ..... Help...... "I glanced back, and my feet were even faster.

At this time, he saw Ximen Zhan Sakura holding a big knife and rushing from inside the arch.

Qi Ning saw that Ximen Zhan Ying was like an angry tigress at the moment, and he was also a little panicked in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find a place to hide first, Han Tianxiao used to have bones, but at this time, he hid behind Qi Ning, coaxed into a ball, raised his hand and pointed at Ximen Zhan Ying and said, "Little junior sister, Lord Wang....... The prince is here, don't come nonsense, hurry up...... Hurry up and put down the knife, you have something to say....... ”

Ximen Zhan Ying rushed over, glared at Qi Ning, raised his knife and pointed at Qi Ning and said, "You get out of the way first, it's none of your business here." ”

Qi Ning reluctantly smiled: "Zhan Sakura, this ...... What's going on here? Good and decent, what do you do with a knife? The third senior brother is right, they are all their own people, if there is any misunderstanding, ...... first Put down the knife first. ”

Ximen Zhanying didn't pay attention to Qi Ning, but a pair of beautiful eyes were angry, staring at Han Tianxiao behind Qi Ning, and said coldly: "Han Tianxiao, you are honest, who is it?" If you don't understand today, I'm ..... I'll kill you with one slash! ”
