Li Mo chatted for a long time in Nangong Pu's study, until Fu Qingshuang poked his head at the door. Li Mo smiled awkwardly when he saw it, and said goodbye and left.

"What is he here for? Leave when you see me? Fu Qingshuang said when he entered the door, "It won't be a small report for me, right?" ”

Nangong Pu laughed, "What did you do and didn't count it yourself?" ”

"Huh? Whatever it takes to me, it's all Ah Jin's idea! Fu Qingshuang said nervously.

Nangong Pu was stunned and looked at Fu Qingshuang, "What did you do?" ”

"Nothing was done."

"Didn't do anything?" Nangong Pu looked at him suspiciously.

Fu Qingshuang sighed, "Your family is complicated." Lao Cheng of Jingzhou was kicked out and could go back to Jingzhou, but if I was driven out, I would be homeless. Xiao Wan taught, no matter what, push Ah Jin, anyway, he is your family's troublemaker. ”

Nangong Pu looked at him and was speechless by what he said.

"Don't worry," Fu Qingshuang laughed, "Sister-in-law looks at me quite pleasing to the eye, and the people in the family don't target me, besides, Xiaowan has to tell me more than ten times a day, I'm careful." ”

Nangong Pu shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay." How's the defense going? ”

"Alas, it's not very difficult for you to spread your eyeliner all over Binh Duong. The problem is that you have to find someone you can trust, originally you were bound by a teacher, but if I did this, it would not be appropriate. Xiao Wan came up with an idea to adopt some children to teach them from an early age, it's good, but it takes time. Why don't you take in some apprentices, or do you use the way of mentorship? ”

Nangong Pu thought for a while and didn't ask this question again, "Li Mo went out a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, I went to Dr. Xiao Du to see a doctor, helped me again, and then came back after shopping for a while. When he didn't go out, he was in a daze in the house, looking pitiful. Xiao Wan asked someone to send him some small animals to raise, and it seemed that he didn't like small animals. Fu Qingshuang said, pointing to his head, "Is there really something wrong with him?" ”

Nangong Pu sighed slightly, "Look at him, no matter what, he is my senior brother." ”

"Okay, understand."

Tianchengwei's posture of welcoming Nangong Jin was grand, but after the welcome banquet, many people came to open the back door and asked to participate in the training, and they could not go to the capital to read it, just to learn the battle formation with General Nangong, including Jin Jianchang and Ding Xionghui.

This made Nangong Jin blush a little, his own formation attainments, he could probably deceive the layman, and wanted to ask Yao Fangyu to come over to help, but was stopped by Nangong Dingkang again.

The days of military training were busy but boring, especially in the dead of night, Yao Fangyu who wanted to stay in Jingzhou, but Nangong Dingkang refused to let her come to Tianchengwei again and again. Although Nangong Jin understood what he meant, he always felt that he was too careful.

And Nangong Dingkang may be because he is bored, but he cares about his son's diet and daily life, not only that, but also studies tea ceremony and cooking skills, which has the meaning of learning his son's interests and hobbies. This is really the first time in thirty years, and it makes Nangong Jin feel unfree.

Three months later, Ling Zheng arrived at Tianchengwei and ordered the Lubei Army to be transferred to the outskirts of Beijing to continue the exercise, but the commander decided that Feng Yue and Nangong Jin were only advisers. This order only made Nangong Dingkang have a trace of doubt, and the four hall masters, including Nangong Jin, did not feel abnormal.

When leaving Tianchengwei, the time for the Lubei Army to arrive at the outskirts of Beijing had already been set, so the march of nearly a thousand people was not slow.

Two days after departure, he met Li Mo on the way to the capital. Li Mo's face was solemn, and he met Nangong Dingkang alone.

Nangong Jin didn't know what they were talking about. On that day, the Lubei Army camped in a mountain forest. However, after Nangong Jin woke up at dawn, this mountain forest was surprisingly quiet, as if there was no one.

Nangong Jin walked outside the tent and froze.

The mountain breeze is blowing, the vegetation is lush, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the trees, and the occasional birdsong in the ears makes the forest even more quiet. There was no camp here, not even a trace of a thousand troops camping, there was only one tent in the whole mountain forest, and he was the only one!

Nangong Jin became vigilant. No, this was not the place to camp the night before! Turn around and stare at the tent, which is a small tent for one person. I remember that before leaving Tianchengwei, Feng Yue prepared all the supplies for him, and even the tents were the specifications distributed by the army. However, this tent is only somewhat similar in color, and it is definitely not a uniform specification in the army. No, before going to bed at night, it's not sleeping in this tent!

What happened? Where's Daddy? If there is an accident, it is impossible for him to leave no clues. Thinking of this, Nangong Jin slowly retreated to the tent and looked at every part of the tent. During the march, Nangong Jin did not change his clothes, and there was nothing in the tent, which seemed to be no different from when he went to bed at night.

Nangong Jin left the tent again, carefully searched the area around the tent, and did not see any clues, as if he had come here suddenly, without an army, without horses, and without anything that matched his memory.

What's going on?

Nangong Jin jumped up the tree, checked the surrounding terrain, and became nervous at a glance. In all directions, as far as the eye can see, there are dense mountains and forests. This is not a place that can be walked in a day or two!

Nangong Jin got down from the tree, stood outside the tent, and meditated. The tent could not have been taken away without horses, and there was no water or food in the tent, but fortunately, the sword was still there. In the mountains and forests, water and food should be easy to solve. The problem now is that you don't know where you are, and the only way is to look in one direction and leave.

As long as it is in the territory of Daming, the east and south are the sea. Looking at the shape of these trees, they don't look like the mountains and forests in the south. Head east and there should be towns.

In the capital, the Lubei Army has arrived on time. But it was only the Tiancheng Guard Jin Jianchang, Ding Xionghui and his subordinates who temporarily joined the Lubei Army during the training, and they were the real Tiancheng Guard defenders, the commander Feng Yue.

And more than 200 members of the four halls of the Nangong clan, including the masters of the four halls, and the father and son of the Nangong clan, did not arrive. This made Ding Xionghui anxious, and at that time, everyone in the Nangong clan said that they were going to get the newly arrived equipment, and they also said that they would go to the outskirts of Beijing to change clothes and gather before entering the camp. But when they arrived, they waited for two days without seeing anyone. As a last resort, there are only advanced battalions.

After another two days, Jin Jianchang couldn't help but go to Feng Yue to discuss, afraid that someone with a heart would know that he would be charged with escaping from the battle, which would be a big deal, but fortunately, now there is a Tiancheng guard defender who has taken the name of Lu Beijun. So, Feng Yue urgently went to Pingyang to inquire in his personal name.

However, the news of Nangong Dingkang's disappearance has long spread throughout Pingyang.

"What's going on?" Zhou Tang asked in a hurry.

Nangong Pu was reading Feng Yue's letter, which seemed to confirm this rumor. Nangong Pu shook his head, "It's hard to say what's going on now, I've already asked Qingshuang to investigate." ”

Zhou Tang took the letter, looked at it roughly, and became more anxious, "This is a letter from the military camp?" Feng Yue? I remember when Ah Jin got married, he came. The general of Tianchengwei? ”

Nangong Pu comforted: "The march is set to arrive at the time of the camp, and it may be that there is something wrong on the way." Therefore, I was afraid of military law, so I simply did not enter the camp. Anyway, General Feng and they entered the camp in the name of the Lubei Army, that is, they arrived on schedule. ”

"And where are your fathers?" Zhou Tang thought about it and felt that Nangong Pu didn't answer any questions, "Why did I still hear it, Ah Jin ......?" ”

"This is all nonsense, Qingshuang will know the situation when he comes back. Mother, don't worry. They left with more than two hundred congregations in four halls, and these people could fight, and they also knew the formation of the Ah Jin Sect. I haven't heard of any Tatars coming in lately, so it's fine. Nangong Pu tried his best to comfort.

It didn't take long for Fu Qingshuang to come back in a hurry, looking nervous, "Ah Pu......." Suddenly, seeing that Zhou Tang was also there, he hurriedly hid his nervous expression and smiled, "Auntie." ”

"How? Pu said you went to inquire? Zhou Tang stood up and asked urgently.

Fu Qingshuang said very easily: "Nothing, it's all nonsense, and there is not even a source." I suspect that the second room is doing something again, and Ah Pu also said that every time his uncle is not there, they will make trouble. ”

"Then you know, where are their father and son?" Zhou Tang asked.

Fu Qingshuang touched his head and said embarrassedly: "This, I really didn't inquire." Why don't I inquire again? If my aunt is not at ease, I will go to Tianchengwei. Oh, maybe they're on their way to the capital, or I'll get to Tianchengwei, and then go from Tianchengwei to the capital, so I'll definitely know. ”

"Perhaps, before you reach Tianchengwei, they will arrive in the capital." Nangong Pu answered with a smile.

"yes." Fu Qingshuang smirked at Zhou Tang and patted his head, "Oh, Xiaowan said that he wanted to measure his aunt, saying that he felt that the clothes made of needlework were outdated and ill-fitting." ”

Zhou Tang looked at him and understood that he had something to discuss with Nangong Pu, so he could only smile slightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll go find Xiaowan"

The two watched Zhou Tang leave in the room. Fu Qingshuang turned his head and regained the nervous expression he had when he came in, "Quick, the people from the second room are coming." ”

"What's the matter?" Nangong Pu was also nervous by him.

"It is said that there is evidence, and the imperial court did not ask Ah Jin to enter Beijing for a drill at all. This time, all the affairs of Sitang were instructed by Ah Jin, and the purpose was to command Sitang to assassinate his uncle. ”

"What nonsense?!" Nangong Pu jumped up, "They're just talking nonsense!" Feng Yue's letter is still here, and it is clear that it is for the Lubei Army to enter Beijing for a drill! ”

"Here's the problem, this Lubei Army is the Tiancheng Guard, not Sitang." Fu Qingshuang explained.

'No way!' The three words of Lu Beijun' were taken by Ah Jin at the beginning, that is, to accept our four halls in the north. Nangong Pu is also on fire.

"Calm down, the second room is to take these things, and I want you to kill your relatives in righteousness."

"There's no way I'm going to listen to these rumors!" Nangong Pu said angrily.

Fu Qingshuang looked at him, "Don't be angry first, before they come, we have to deal with it." ”

"What do you want to deal with! They are afraid that there will be no chaos in the world. After the previous Pingyang war, Ah Jin offended the second room. They were looking for trouble everywhere, and they didn't even have good words when Ah Jin got married. On the day of the wedding banquet, Xu Baoshen was put in by them, so we didn't know! ”

Fu Qingshuang nodded, "Anyway, don't let your aunt worry." ”
