Xiao Shaobei received the news and soon appeared in the Yuan Mansion.

Seeing the faint blood mark on Ji Yanning's neck, his face was dark.

"I don't need to do that, I'm not hurt anyway. Ji Yanning said to him, but she didn't care much about this matter, she picked up the teapot and poured Xiao Shaobei a cup of tea and put it in front of him.

Xiao Shaobei saw her unconcerned appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Everything is in case, if that villain is ruthless, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, in fact, she didn't understand, what she cherished most was probably her own life, but she didn't want Xiao Shaobei to worry about herself so much, she said: "I know, I won't let such a thing happen again in the future." ”

"If someone threatens you, don't worry too much, even if you kill someone, I will help you bear it. "Xiao Shaobei Road.

Ji Yanning chuckled lightly and snorted.

She asked, "Do you know what major cases Dali Temple has been investigating recently?" I think the criminals they are chasing seem to be a little strange. ”

Xiao Shaobei didn't intend to hide it from her, and said: "It's Dayan's meticulous work, and they stole part of the defense map of the northern border from the grain and grass supervision envoy's mansion. It seems that Dayan wants to take advantage of the fact that I have just taken over the Dingbei Hou Mansion and wants to make a move on the northern border, and now the emperor is furious after knowing this, and the superintendent has been sent to the prison for leaking secrets in the army. ”

Ji Yanning suddenly remembered that Feng Dai's father was poisoned a few days ago, which was also related to Dayan's people.

Unexpectedly, Da Yan was already ready to move on Da Wei.

She pondered for a while, and said, "Looks like you're going to have to go back to the North." ”

Xiao Shaobei nodded: "At the latest, it will be between these two months, if I don't go back, it is estimated that the emperor will cut off the military power in my hands." ”

"It is not easy for him to cut the military power of the Beihou Mansion, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government will not agree, cut the military power in your hands, he also has to find a convincing and experienced commander, your father has been guarding the northern Xinjiang for many years, and his prestige is very unattainable. Ji Yanning said, "However, with Rong Ling's temperament, although he will not cut you immediately, but when you go back this time, you will definitely send someone he trusts to join you." ”

The prestige of the Dingbei Hou Mansion in the northern Xinjiang is very high, if Xiao Shaobei is replaced rashly, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, and the new commander may not be able to really lead the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang.

But if he doesn't move Xiao Shaobei, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want others to replace Dingbei Houfu in the long run.

Xiao Shaobei said: "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to deal with." I'm just worried about you, if I go back to northern Xinjiang, I'm afraid that you will be alone in Chang'an. ”

When Ji Yanning heard him say this, there was a crooked smile in the corner of his eyes: "You know why I came to Chang'an, I know what I am planning, since I have made up my mind, there is no turning back, so I will also cherish my hard-won little life, and I will not let myself have an accident easily." ”

"After all, Dayan has not taken immediate action now, even if they want to fight, they must be fully prepared, as far as my intelligence knows, their food, grass and troops are not enough for them to move. Xiao Shaobei said, "After I leave, I will hand over all the forces of the Dingbei Hou Mansion in Chang'an to you, and you can mobilize them at will at will." ”

Ji Yanning looked at Xiao Shaobei's serious appearance, and she smiled: "You are really the same as your cousin." ”

"If you are serious, your combined age is not as old as mine, and it is natural to take care of you. "Xiao Shaobei Road.

Ji Yanning blinked and said, "I have a high seniority, so I can do well without your little nephew taking care of me." ”

Hearing Ji Yanning say this, Xiao Shaobei's tense face finally eased, and he couldn't help but chuckle lightly and said, "Yes, what my little cousin said is right." ”

Although Ji Yanning has a high seniority, in Xiao Shaobei's eyes, she is indeed younger than herself, and she has always been regarded as her sister. Taking care of her was entrusted by his father before he died, and he would inevitably respect her, after all, after Ji Yanning, he had no other relatives.

"My cousin is my cousin, how can I call my little cousin?" Ji Yanning snorted.

There are not many people in the Yuan Mansion, Ji Yanning was talking to Xiao Shaobei in the courtyard, and even Ji Yanning's maid was not there.

It's just that it didn't take long for Yuan Jiaojiao to send someone over to spread the word, saying that King Xuan had arrived in the Yuan Mansion and wanted to see Ji Yanning.

Xiao Shaobei frowned slightly, this King Xuan seemed to be too attentive to his little cousin, he had warned King Xuan once on Chinese New Year's Eve, but unfortunately King Xuan didn't seem to take it to heart, and now he came to pester Ji Yanning again.

Before Ji Yanning could speak, Xiao Shaobei had already said to the subordinate: "Let King Xuan go back, say that Miss Ji is not free and does not see outsiders." ”

The little guy who passed the word was slightly stunned, then glanced at Ji Yanning, and saw that she had no objection, so he answered and retreated to pass the word.

Ji Yanning watched the little girl retreat, her eyes looked at Xiao Shaobei: "You seem to be very repulsive to King Xuan?"

Xiao Shaobei said: "Don't be deceived by King Xuan, he is not as simple as it seems on the surface, who knows what purpose he approached you!"

Maybe Xiao Shaobei didn't have any opinions about Rong Che before, after all, the two of them had no fundamental conflict of interest, and they had a good relationship with Duan Wuflawless, although they didn't meet often, they could be regarded as nodding friends, but if King Xuan had Ji Yanning's idea, he would have to guard against it.

King Xuan seems to be a very gentle character, and he looks like he is smiling at everyone, but in fact, his mind is no less than that of those princes who want to take the heir.

Hearing Xiao Shaobei say this, Ji Yanning nodded kindly, and listened to his words.

The two of them walked out of the courtyard, and were about to say goodbye to the old lady and return to Liufu, but met Rong Che who had not left in the front yard.

Ji Yanning just glanced at Rong Che lightly, and then stepped forward to salute the old lady who was sitting on the main seat, and then turned around and saluted Rong Che slightly.

Rong Che frowned slightly.

Xiao Shaobei glanced at him coldly.

"Yan Ning is resting well, you don't know that it scared me when I first came back. The old lady said, "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, it was Jiaojiao's reckless behavior that affected you." ”

Ji Yanning said: "The villains are rampant, and they have nothing to do with Jiaojiao, not to mention that I am fine, it is not a big deal." ”

The old lady bowed her head and said, "It's okay, I have two bottles of imperial plaster, you can bring them back, don't leave any scars on your neck." ”

As she spoke, she asked the maid to bring two bottles of ointment.

Ji Yanning lowered his eyes: "It's just a small injury, and the old lady still remembers it, but the younger generation is disrespectful." ”

Pearl stepped forward and took the two bottles of ointment from the maid's hand.

Rong Che's gaze fell on Ji Yanning's fair-skinned neck, there was indeed a faint blood mark on it, you can imagine how dangerous things are, if that villain used a little harder, her slender neck might be erased!

It's not stupid to look at her on weekdays, why is she still being held hostage to this point?

Xiao Shaobei said: "Then don't disturb the old lady, I will send someone to send Yan Ning back to Liufu." ”

He said goodbye to Ji Yanning and exited the hall.

Rong Che got up and said to the old lady: "This king has also taken his leave." ”

The old lady looked at Rong Che's face with a look of impatience, and guessed a few points in her heart, a kind smile appeared on her face, and she bowed her head and let him leave.

Ji Yanning and Xiao Shaobei had not yet walked out of the gate of the Yuan Mansion, and were walking on the path in the mansion, and Rong Che had already followed.

"Marquis Xiao. Rong Che opened his mouth and stopped them.

Xiao Shaobei and Ji Yanning paused and looked back at Rong Che.

Rong Che's gaze remained on Ji Yanning's body and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

"The prince specially rushed over to the Yuan Mansion, could it be that he came to see Yan Ning?" Xiao Shaobei stepped forward and blocked in front of Ji Yanning, raising his eyebrows and looking at Rong Che.

Rong Che admitted: "So what?"

Xiao Shaobei sneered: "The prince is really kind, but the prince's status is noble, and Yan Ning doesn't need your concern." ”

Rong Che narrowed his eyes slightly, this was the second time Xiao Shaobei had warned him.

He still had a smile on his face, but his tone was a little provocative: "Then in what capacity did Marquis Xiao say these words to this king?"

Ji Yanning looked at these two tense men, and had a headache for a while.

There are not many people in the Yuan Mansion, but it is not nothing, looking at this posture, everyone does not dare to come out.

Xiao Shaobei said: "As a person close to her, as a person she trusts, is the prince satisfied with such an identity?"

Before Rong Che could speak, Xiao Shaobei had already grabbed Ji Yanning's wrist and directly took her out of the Yuan Mansion, leaving Rong Che stunned.

Originally, I thought that Shen Qingyi didn't seem to be a threat, but there was another Xiao Shaobei?

Ji Yanning was taken out of the Yuan Mansion by Xiao Shaobei, and couldn't help laughing: "Can't you talk well?"

Xiao Shaobei snorted coldly and said, "He won't take it to heart if he talks well." ”

He sent Ji Yanning into the carriage and looked back at Rong Che who was walking out.

The carriage moved slowly, heading in the direction of Liufu.

Xiao Shaobei's originally gentle face had become indifferent when he saw Rong Che.

He took two steps forward, walked to Rong Che's side, and whispered to him: "In front of Yan Ning, there are some things that can't be said too much, but please also ask the prince to know that she is not someone you can move casually." Don't think that no one will find out when you investigate Yan Ning in secret, what kind of identity she is or what kind of things she wants to do has nothing to do with you King Xuan, the more you know about some things, the more dangerous they are. If you settle down a little, we will naturally not threaten the three princes, and each will take what he needs. ”

The smile on Rong Che's face narrowed.

"That's all I say, the prince is self-respecting. Xiao Shaobei walked in the direction of his guard, turned over and got on his horse, and rode away with the people of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
