Chapter 887: Asking for Help
Ji Ning had arranged all the plans, and even Nalan had settled down on the errand of blowing snow, so he was relieved and waited for the next day to finish his business.
As long as the four princes know that these beauties are sent by King Chong, they will inevitably relax their vigilance, and it will also make Shangguan Wan'er's assassination cause a certain degree of deterrence, making the four princes panicked, so as to achieve Ji Ning's goal.
On the second day, Ji Ning specially did not go to the Temple of Literature, he took a day off, and he didn't need to do anything on this day, just stay in the wine shop in the capital to check the situation of the Chongwang Mansion and the Four Princes' Mansion.
He sent some people to investigate the situation in the Chongwang Mansion and the Four Princes' Mansion, while he stayed in the teahouse and waited for news, when suddenly Lin Yi came over and brought a letter from the Chongwang Mansion.
"Master, I said it was for you, and I don't know who sent it!" Lin Yi handed over the letter and said.
Ji Ning looked at the envelope that didn't even have words, and felt a little strange in his heart, after a while, he opened the envelope, but saw that it was a note from a familiar person, it was Zhao Yuanqi who wrote the letter.
Zhao Yuanqi had written articles in front of Ji Ning before, and discussed many literary things with Ji Ning, and even Zhao Yuanqi wrote an invitation letter in his own handwriting, so Ji Ning recognized Zhao Yuanqi's handwriting.
In the letter, Zhao Yuanqi asked Ji Ning to meet at a place in the city, which was actually a temple in the city, which seemed mysterious and secretive, as if there was something to say.
Ji Ning thought to himself: "Could it be that the Chongwang Mansion knew my identity and deliberately used Zhao Yuanqi to test me, and even lured me to a secret place, which was not good for me?" ”
Just when Ji Ning was hesitating to go, there seemed to be some movement downstairs, there were officers and soldiers searching the teahouses and wine shops in the city, and they seemed to be looking for some "chaotic parties", as for what the purpose of these people was, Ji Ning couldn't say, but he knew that this matter was very likely to be King Chong's attack on dissidents in the city.
"I won't stay here for the time being, if I have something, send the information directly to the main altar, and I will go over to answer it!" Ji Ning said.
"Yes, sir!" Lin Yi didn't know what Ji Ning was going to do, he just instinctively felt that it was okay to obey orders, and he would never contradict and refute Ji Ning, he was a loyal subordinate.
……
……
Ji Ning arrived at the Tinggu Temple where he met, which was an inconspicuous small temple in the city, and even Ji Ning needed to inquire to find the location of the temple.
Before he went inside, he also made some observations around him.
Ji Ning still has full trust in Zhao Yuanqi, even though he knows that he may be in danger, but because it is Zhao Yuanqi's handwritten letter, he still came to the appointment.
He also had a hunch that there must be something going on on Zhao Yuanqi's side, and this matter was obviously related to the recent rebellion in the Chongwang Mansion, Zhao Yuanqi could not have been unaware of these things, Ji Ning himself also felt that Zhao Yuanqi was likely to have some conflicts with his family, with Ji Ning's understanding of Zhao Yuanqi, this is a prince who is unlikely to embark on the road of rebellion, and Zhao Yuanqi's aristocratic atmosphere is very strong, which also makes Ji Ning feel admired.
Outside the Tinggu Temple, Ji Ning looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was no one, he walked to the door of the temple and knocked on the door, but saw that there was a little nun inside who opened the door, this little nun's eyes were very big, and her appearance was also very handsome, but at first glance, Ji Ning felt familiar, and it was clearly Zhao Yuanxuan, the lord of Huaizhu.
Ji Ning didn't remember how long he hadn't met Zhao Yuanxuan alone, he frowned and said, "It's you?" ”
"What? It can't be me? Zhao Yuanxuan seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said, "It's my brother who called you here, you don't have to worry about what I will do to you, if it is not good for you, then my brother will be bad for you, hum, Ji Ning, you can come in!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Yuanxuan opened the door, like a knowing guest, and introduced the guest into the door, and then she followed behind, and there was no intention of leading the way, and there was no one to guide Ji Ning where to go.
Ji Ning asked, "Don't lead the way?" ”
"Take what?" Zhao Yuanxuan was still a little angry, his big eyes were also round, and he said, "Aren't you very smart?" Come here, you should know where my brother is, right? You just have to go in and look for it, if you can't find it, you'll lose ......."
Ji Ning was simply a little speechless, as if he was here to decrypt it, and if he changed to another place, Ji Ning might turn around and leave directly, but in the face of Zhao Yuanxuan, Ji Ning couldn't get angry in his heart, in the end, Zhao Yuanxuan was still a polite girl, at least he hadn't done anything hurtful before, and Ji Ning had never had any prejudice against Zhao Yuanxuan because of his prejudice against Chongwangfu.
"Whatever!" Ji Ning continued to walk inside, and before he could enter the main hall of Tinggu Temple, he saw a person coming out from inside, but this person was wearing a robe, like a monk, Zhao Yuanqi.
Ji Ning said: "Shizi, you are ......"
Zhao Yuanqi looked at himself, and said with a slight smile: "When I came to Tinggu Temple today, I couldn't help but envy when I saw the Zen master wearing a robe, I just borrowed it to wear it, and it was also to facilitate it to come out and meet Yongning you, go, go inside to talk!" ”
Ji Ning was a little embarrassed, he was calculating King Chong at this time, and now that the prince of King Chong was going to ask him to meet and talk, he would have a sense of guilt in his heart, because no matter what Zhao Yuanqi said, he could grasp some unknown secrets from it, and these secrets were likely to be related to his affairs against King Chong's Mansion, which would make him feel like he was taking advantage of his friends.
No matter what Chongwangfu did, in Ji Ning's view, Zhao Yuanqi was a friend worth dating, and he had always had a kind of respect for Zhao Yuanqi, which was a kind of respect and understanding for friends.
When the two arrived at the main hall, Ji Ning opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with the prince, just say it clearly!" ”
"That's right, there's a tricky matter I want you to help deal with!" Zhao Yuanqi's face became very embarrassed, and he said, "Before...... A lot of things happened in Chongwangfu, and my sister and I were originally going back to Jinling City, but for some reason, we returned to the capital, this time...... The situation of Chongwangfu in the capital is also very bad, Yongning, you know what I mean, right? ”
Having said that, Ji Ning also felt that if he pretended to be confused again, it would be disrespectful to his friends.
Ji Ning said: "The prince is saying that it is rumored that the Chongwang Mansion is going to rebel? ”
"It's not from the outside world, now I think that maybe my father really has this situation, Yongning, you are the most scheming on weekdays, this time I want to hear your opinion, you can think of a way to help us, okay?" Zhao Yuanqi asked for help.
