There was a rush in the court, and the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not much quieter than usual, almost every moment, there were people who came to ask where the Prime Minister was, some people were puzzled, some people were uneasy, and some people were speculating whether someone had encountered any accidents, secretly rejoicing, thinking about whether the opportunity that belonged to them had come?

The affairs in the front yard are naturally handled by others such as Daoist Lei He and Sun Ziluo, and the three girls in the back garden are basically idle most of the time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In their hearts, they were also worried that he had left in a hurry that night, and in their previous impressions, there was almost nothing that was unexpected by him, all so orderly, as if it were all in his plan.

But now, he disappeared for several days in a row, and no one knew where he had gone.

Until that night, in her sleep, the red butterfly suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, the candle flame in the corner flickered, and beside her, Baotong and Xiaolu were still asleep and had not woken up.

With his own physique and that person's teachings, in this era of great mystery, Red Butterfly, who also almost had the strength of the previous "quasi-grandmaster", was naturally much more sensitive than the two sisters in terms of sensitivity, and when he heard the movement outside, he immediately knew that he must have returned.

In this place, there were originally many masters around to protect it, except for Sun Ziluo, no one else would come to the back garden casually. She sat up and looked to the side, the wide quilt, still empty for someone, and outside the window, there was a faint red light, apparently someone had hung a lantern.

Gently getting up and adding another cloak, she stepped down from the wooden platform and put on her embroidered shoes. The sword hung on the wooden wall by the door, but she didn't take it, and just left the room and went outside.

In the distance, rows of lanterns stretched, staggered in the night wind, and the stars and moon did not have much light. In the garden, many of the early spring flowers have begun to exacerbate their aromas.

It was cold outside, she tightened her trench coat, passed under the herringbone eaves, and passed an octagonal lacquered wooden pavilion, under which the stream flowed, and the cold water vapor rose on the surface of the water under her perception. Rounding a rockery again, she saw a young man holding a girl coming from the other end of the courtyard gate.

The girl fell asleep in her arms, and the light and shadow of the lantern were so faint that the red butterfly could not see her clearly.

"Brother Ning......" she said softly.

The young man nodded to her and said nothing.

Early the next morning, Gan Yushu, who knew that Ning Jiang was back, rushed to his house.

"What happened?" At the first glance he saw Ning Jiang, he asked directly, if it wasn't really important, Ning Jiang obviously wouldn't leave suddenly at such a time.

"Nothing, a little thing." Ning Jiang said lightly, "How is the situation on the Bashu side?" ”

Gan Yushu said: "Sibi Cave fell into the hands of Li Hu and his barbarian army, at this time, the Red Turban Army, the Weiyuan Army may have started a contact battle with the barbarian army, and Guangzhou is still completely controlled by the barbarian army, but on the side of Luzhou in the north of Bashu, the cottages in the mountains have been called by Grandma Jin and Mu Yuan, and they have surrendered to our army.......

"I know!" Ning Jiang nodded, "What about this side of the Long River?" ”

"You really don't have much patience today!" Gan Yushu said helplessly, "Fengle on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Long River, Mr. Mei Jian personally led the army, and then cooperated with a large number of martial arts people, but the detailed attack was the mainstay, and the Tunpeng army attacked in Wuzhou Mingling four days later with the help of the sailors led by Zhang Zhichi, and the other people and horses cooperated to fight, and the current situation, in general, is still in our plan." In addition, there is news from the north that Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, was captured by Meng Shenjun and has been killed in front of the battle. Fortunately, Zongnuma's side is still insisting, Zijin should try to use those dangerous ridges in Luzhou to provide help and resources for Zongnuma's Zongjia army, but Meng Shenjun's next step must be the Zongjia army. ”

Ning Jiang said lightly: "The Zong family army will not be wiped out so easily...... What's the news on the side of Momen? ”

"Judging from all the rumors, I am afraid that the situation is really not good. Fuxiong Valley was broken, Gushan Rock and many Momen elites were killed in battle, Princess Shan's whereabouts are unknown, some people say that she has also been killed, some people say that she was seriously injured and escaped......" Speaking of this, Gan Yushu looked at Ning Jiang.

"On my trip, I went to sea to pick up the good princess who was rescued by Qiushui and sent to the south, she was seriously injured...... But fortunately he did not die. ”

"That's it!" Gan Yushu smiled bitterly, "The middle level of Momen, I'm afraid it has been infiltrated by Zoroastrianism, with the death of Gu Shanyan and the escape of Princess Shan, the hidden strongholds everywhere have been uprooted, and the vitality has been greatly damaged, basically, it is already difficult to make a difference." In addition to Princess Good and Gu Shanyan, the other two high-level leaders of Momen, there is definite news, Yu Jindou was surrounded by killers sent by the barbarian army, although he was lucky to be rescued by Zhou Gonggui, who has the strength of a peak-level grandmaster, but he broke a hand, Yu Zeyan has no news, his life and death are uncertain at present, and he must find a way to contact him as soon as possible. ”

Ning Jiang nodded: "I'll let Qin Mo's side do this, but if there is really a problem with the middle level of Momen, Yu Zeyan probably won't dare to show up easily." ”

"In the current situation, the remnants of the ink people in the north have completely turned from light to dark, and self-protection is a problem, and it is difficult to help in the war of the Chinese barbarians." Gan Yushu said, "But on the side of Jingzhou further north, there is news in our favor, the barbarian civil strife, the leaders of the two tribes of Hehu and Luyue don't know why, they suddenly launched a riot, killed the officials appointed by the Tiger Emperor, and occupied the entire Jingzhou City, ha, Fang Zi defeated the Black Mountain Army, and there was a problem inside, Meng Shenjun was really busy this time." ”

Ning Jiang frowned tightly, and after a while, he said slowly: "This is not a civil strife in the barbarian army...... This should be the Zoroastrian initiation. ”

Gan Yushu couldn't help frowning: "Zoroastrianism? ”

"Well, Zoroastrian." Ning Jiang said, "At the beginning, since the Zoroastrian Sect was able to lay many chess pieces in Haojing, and even the Privy Council had their people, who had been lurking for decades, it was not impossible for the barbarians to have their other subordinates in addition to the original Cha Che. There are many barbarian tribes, and they are relatively easy to infiltrate. ”

Gan Yushu sighed: "It seems that things are getting more and more troublesome. ”

He said again: "By the way, on the side of Grandma Jin in Xiling, I already know that you are the little white Taoist who showed amazing medical skills in the north last year, and sent her two female apprentices, Hollyhock Niang and Yue Lilac Niang, to send their little junior sister Black Pomegranate to Lin'an, hoping to ask you for treatment." This black pomegranate seems to have been ruined by the Bat Boy, and for those Miao Nu, this seems to be a very serious matter, which means that she can no longer practice any exercises and witchcraft. Of course, another purpose is to send her three female apprentices as hostages in disguise to reassure us. ”

Ning Jiang nodded, Grandma Jin is indeed a smart person, at this time, she was sent to Lin'an by the black pomegranate, which not only made Lin'an's side really feel at ease with her, but also made him unable to help but treat the black pomegranate with all his heart. In this way, Grandma Jin is equivalent to completely standing on their side, freeing them from worries.

In a corner of the back garden, Baotong, Red Butterfly, and Huangfu Heron are still guarding the girl who has not woken up yet.

"Sister Baotong, Sister Red Butterfly...... Is she really an aunt? "Looking at this on the couch, it is indeed a girl who looks very similar to Aunt Luanmei, but the age difference is too much, and Huangfu Lu is still a little hard to believe.

Red Butterfly was also staring at the girl on the couch: "It's really very similar...... It feels like Aunt Luan Mei when she was young, if you have to say it...... It's a bit like a knife and Sister Xiaomeng. ”

"However, Xiaodao is a cat demon, Brother Ning said that the reason why Xiaodao became Sister Xiaomeng is because Xiaodao likes Sister Xiaomeng," Huangfu Lu pointed his finger at the corner of his mouth and raised his head, "Speaking of which, do you feel ...... Brother Ning's relationship with Xiaodao is a bit strange? ”

Baotong and Red Butterfly looked at her together...... It always felt like she had discovered something not so good.

When Ning Jiang brought this girl back last night, looking at this girl, who not only resembled Red Butterfly and Xiaolu, but also always felt very familiar, they were somewhat puzzled. It wasn't until Ning Jiang told them that she was the eldest princess of Luanmei that they were really surprised.

In the past, in Haojing Imperial City, the trio almost grew up with Luan Mei, for them, Luan Mei was not only their elder, but also more like their big sister. Because of this, in that natural disaster, when the news of Luan Mei's death came, the three of them were very sad.

And now, Ning Jiang told them that the eldest princess of Luanmei was not actually dead...... It's just getting smaller?

When I first heard the news, the three cardamom girls all had a messy feeling in the wind.

The good goddess who planted the holy blood and was reborn from the fire, and was originally a Zoroastrian goddess, but because of the failure of the ritual and other reasons, she became the good princess on their side...... These things sound even more absurd than the bizarre theories written by novelists, but they appear vividly in front of them.

Now, looking at the girls who are lying there in a coma and have not woken up, and the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, on the one hand, they feel weird, on the other hand, they are more or less happy, it turns out that their aunt (aunt) is not dead...... But it's getting smaller?

In the evening, Ning Jiang, who had dealt with all kinds of affairs that had been piled up together and needed him to solve them, returned to the back garden, and at this time, Luan Mei had also woken up and was talking to Baotong, Red Butterfly, and Xiaolu. But when he walked into the house, all four of them looked at him together, and they didn't know what was happening, and suddenly they stopped talking.

After a while, Baotong and the other three left first, and Ning Jiang came to the couch alone and sat down next to Luan Mei. "How does it feel?" he asked. ”

"Much better." Luan Mei said softly, looking at him with some doubts, "Why are Baotong, Red Butterfly, and Xiaolu all here with you?" I just asked them, and they were all in a hurry......"

Ning Jiang said: "How should I explain this ...... to her?"

Looking at his appearance, Luan Mei probably guessed what was going on: "I know, Red Butterfly has always liked you, after the death of the imperial brother, she has nowhere to go, she has almost grown up, and she has reached the age of marriage, if I follow you, I will feel at ease." ”

Ning Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, then I'll be relieved." ”

After thinking about it, the girl looked at him again: "But, isn't Baotong supposed to be in the palace?" Now the new son of heaven is her elder brother......"

Ning Jiang said: "Things are a little complicated......" said that at that time, Song Junzhe, who was still the crown prince, told his father that he wanted Baotong to die with him. didn't expect such a thing, Luan Mei was also a little dumbfounded, like this situation, Baotong really has no way to go back to the palace, even if Song Junzhe asked her to go back, they may not be able to rest assured.

Ning Jiang continued to sigh: "And...... Hmm, Bao Tong and I ......."

"Baotong...... And you? Luan Mei stared at him with wide eyes, "You...... And Bao Tong? ”

"It's all the fault of the red butterfly and the hero, it's none of my business!" The young man hurriedly said, "They stripped Baotong naked and sent it to my bed." ”

Hurry up and get the word out.

Luan Mei continued to glare at him: "So you did something like that to her?" ”

Ning Jiang said helplessly: "What can I do?" Kick Baotong out? In that case, didn't that force her to die? How could I be so cruel? ”

The girl glared at him for a long time, her cheeks bulging a little, but after all, there was still nothing she could do, everything had already happened. In desperation, he could only say: "That's it, according to what you say, Baotong originally had nowhere to go, and he followed you with Red Butterfly...... There's no way around it. Speaking of which, the three of them originally grew up together, and they have been inseparable since childhood......

Suddenly remembering something, he raised his head and stared at him deadly: "Speaking of which, when I asked them why they were here...... Why is even Xiaolu blushing while giggling? ”

Ning Jiang held the folding fan: "This ...... You, listen to my explanation......"

The girl grabbed the candlestick next to the bed: "Hmm...... I'll listen to you. ”

Ning Jiang retreated with a weak heart: "At that time, at that time, I was actually just looking for Baotong, and the result was ...... They just slept together...... Originally, I didn't want to touch them...... I just couldn't hold back ......"

There was a bang, and there was a series of tremors in the room.

Outside the window, the three girls who were eavesdropping on each other looked at each other with their backs against the wall. Listening to the sound of chattering in the room, Huangfu Lu squatted there, turned his head to look at the two sisters, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going in to help Brother Ning explain to my aunt?" ”

Bao Tong and Red Butterfly looked at each other...... I won't go!
