Ji Ning hugged Shangguan Wan'er in his arms.

This is a very peaceful feeling, Ji Ning likes this kind of freedom in his arms, he doesn't have to think about whether the person around him is a threat to him, and he doesn't need to think about so many rights and wrongs, and even the intrigue can be put aside first, and the two people have each other, as if nothing is more moving than the things in front of him.

"What is the purpose of returning to the capital? Is it to go further in the Temple of Literature, or is it to restrain the new emperor in the future, so that you can be the uncrowned emperor yourself? ”

Shangguan Wan'er is under Ji Ning's control, but her heart seems to be very restless, she has her own thoughts about many things, she will think about how to control Ji Ning, and even want to be a person who can influence Ji Ning.

Ji Ning said: "Actually, it doesn't matter much, who knows what will happen after I go back?" I just need to know that you are my woman, and now I love that feeling...... That's enough! ”

In many cases, Ji Ning would not answer Shangguan Wan'er's question head-on, because he knew that Shangguan Wan'er had a master Min Luo behind her after all, and the Holy Gate caused him trouble.

In Ji Ning's imagination, he can only face the troubles in front of him, be an ordinary person, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can have more beautiful and fragrant women, so that his own life can be more fulfilling.

There is no need to compete for fame and fortune, let Zhao Yuanrong take charge of the government, in Ji Ning's opinion, there is nothing bad, he can usually give advice to Zhao Yuanrong, and even Zhao Yuanrong's child, that is, his child, can become the crown prince, even if he is not the emperor, he can also be the emperor.

"You still don't trust me, do you?" Shangguan Wan'er said angrily.

Ji Ning looked at Shangguan Wan'er with serious eyes, and said: "I don't have a question of trust in you, I will set off tomorrow, and you will go back to the capital with me, the matter in Jiangnan has come to an end for me, I came to Jiangnan, the original purpose was to start a new life here, but since the Temple of Literature gave me more opportunities to improve myself, why should I stay?" Wan'er, come back to the capital with me, you don't care about the matter of the Holy Gate! ”

Ji Ning's words seemed to be very penetrating, and Shangguan Wan'er herself was avoiding Ji Ning's gaze.

After a long time, Shangguan Wan'er sighed lightly: "It's easy to say that I should ignore it?" The master is very kind to me, and now that the master is injured and gone, you even have to cooperate with that birch, I really can't accept it...... If you respect me, please let me go back to the Holy Gate, and after I am sure that the master really doesn't need my help, I will come back to you, and I will be the woman by your side with peace of mind, okay? ”

Even between people, there always seems to be a gap, and Ji Ning also sighed lightly: "Since you said so, what else can I say?" I hope you can go early and come back early! ”

……

……

Very early the next morning, Ji Ning was about to leave Jinling City.

In order to make his trip more low-key, Ji Ning deliberately didn't go to say hello to Chongwangfu, and he didn't want Zhao Yuanqi to see him off, so he wanted to leave in a low-key manner.

This time it seems that he is walking very low-key, but in fact, it is also high-profile, because after he goes back, he will become the youngest of the current scholars of the Confucian Temple, and this time he will also bring Zhang Hua and others back to the capital.

Nalan Blowing Snow was going to go with Ji Ning, Ji Ning didn't inform Qin Yuanyuan for the time being, he was going to go back and let someone inform Qin Yuanyuan, and let Qin Yuanyuan choose whether to stay in Jinling City or go back to the capital with him.

And Ji Ning already had a lot of doubts about Qin Yuanyuan at this time, and it was impossible for Ji Ning to be as concerned about Qin Yuanyuan as before.

"Master, everything that should be prepared is ready, can you go?" Outside the water gate of Jinling City, on the bridgehead, the ships have been loaded, just waiting to depart.

Ji Ning glanced back, although there was a lot of reluctance in this Jinling City, he still resolutely got on the boat, and after the fleet set off, he let the ship dock again, before the ship entered the river, he wanted to go back to Jinling, and took Zhang Hua and his party to the north together.

On the day of his departure, he went to see Zhang Hua once, or after he returned to Jinling City, and the person who accompanied Ji Ning to see Zhang Hua this time was no longer Shangguan Wan'er, but Nalan Blowing Snow.

This time, Ji Ning and Nalan Blowing Snow are both masked, and Ji Ning did not let Shangguan Wan'er help him change his appearance, he was afraid that Zhang Hua would recognize him.

In the prefect's yamen, Zhang Hua learned that Ji Ning was coming, which was also in his expectation, and after the two met, Zhang Hua said respectfully: "When the old gentleman arrives, he must be ready to leave for the north?" ”

"That's right!" Ji Ning lowered his voice and said, "You get your carriage and horses ready, and go north to the capital with the old man in the afternoon!" ”

"Sir, is it a bit hasty to leave like this?" Zhang Hua is obviously still a little reluctant to give up his power in Jiangnan, and it is difficult to say whether he can maintain his current power after arriving in the capital.

Now it's just that Ji Ning gave him a promise, which makes him feel very unreliable, and he will also think about whether he has the ability to help Ji Ning, after all, he will also be afraid that Ji Ning will "unload the mill and kill the donkey".

Ji Ning said: "If you don't leave now, when will you stay?" Do you think the old man is here to discuss with you? Do you think that if you don't leave now, the Restoration Army will let you go, the local gentry will let you go, those dignitaries in the court will let you go, or the new emperor will let you go? At that time, the old man will not let you go! ”

Zhang Hua smiled bitterly: "What the old gentleman said, now he has offended people from all walks of life, and he has betrayed his relatives?" ”

"You know your own situation, there are some things, in fact, the old man doesn't want to tell you more, the old man is now taking you to the capital, so that you have a higher status in the court, it is a promotion for you, this is your best chance to enter the court, you expect to follow the Restoration Army to mix up what kind of fame, I'm afraid you don't have that qualification in a few lifetimes!" Ji Ning said coldly.

Zhang Hua said: "The old gentleman is also a little right when he says this, I really don't know how to refute the old gentleman!" ”

"In this case, the old man will not go with you, here are some customs clearance documents, and how you should perform your official duties after you arrive in the capital, the old man has already paved the way for you, you just need to do things according to the old man's instructions after you arrive in the capital!" Ji Ning said.

Zhang Hua got the paperwork that he had appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he seemed very happy, and he didn't know how these things were obtained.

In his imagination, he would not be able to get these things until he arrived in the capital, but he didn't expect that here, the old gentleman in front of him would get these things.
