Chapter 390: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (5)

Yuxue looked up at Aunt Qi, suddenly her nose was sore, and she remembered her relatives who were no longer alive, and couldn't help but sniff.

Peng Yu and the others, seeing that they were almost settled, left with people.

At this time, Zhao Yancheng had already met Ning Yi.

This is not the first time Zhao Yancheng has seen Ning Yi, but every time, he feels that Ning Yi is very much like a leopard hiding in the dark and peeping at its prey, with a lazy expression, but the shot is fatal.

He took a deep breath, barely calmed his mind, and said respectfully: "The official is late, please forgive the prince——"

Ning Yi got up slowly, helped Zhao Yancheng with his own hands, and said: "My lord is tired of traveling and driving, Kyoto is far away from Xizhou Benya, this time is not in the way, and it is not yet the time for us to make a move——"

Zhao Yancheng was stunned and looked at Guo Ping on the side, obviously Guo Ping couldn't understand the deep meaning of Ning Yi's words, the two looked at each other, confused.

Ning Yi waved his hand, and the personal guard beside him stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Guo Ping, Guo Ping understood, Ning Yi had something to discuss with Zhao Yancheng alone, and he was not half unhappy in his heart, although he was the commander of this Xizhou, but the official rank was here, and it was indeed a little inappropriate for him to be here.

Thinking so, he quietly withdrew.

Zhao Yancheng coughed and said puzzledly: "Forgive the official for being stupid, I don't know what the prince's intentions are, this poisonous food has already expanded, the prince said that the time has not come, do you have to wait until the consequences are irreparable?" What is the prince waiting for? ”

Ning Yi's eyes flashed slightly, looking at Zhao Yancheng's expression with more and more deep meaning, he said: "The whereabouts of this poisonous food naturally need to be investigated by adults, this matter, after all, happened in the territory of the Great Calendar, even if this king and His Majesty of the Great Calendar have a friendship or not, they can't interfere in the affairs of the country, as for the person who transported the poisonous food, please don't go to investigate——"

Zhao Yancheng stood up in shock when he heard this, and blurted out: "What? Don't check? If it weren't for these people, how could there be so many innocent people suffering, the prince kept saying that it was for the friendship between the Great Calendar and Xiliang, could it be that the lives of Xiliang are human lives, and the people of my Great Calendar are ants? ”

Zhao Yancheng's reaction seemed to have been expected by Ning Yi, he personally poured tea for Zhao Yancheng, and said slowly: "Why should Lord Shangshu be angry, don't be impatient, this mutual market, but this king has won it with great difficulty, so naturally he will not ruin this effort, but these people in Xiliang, this king is useful, and I ask Lord Zhao to forgive me——"

Zhao Yancheng looked at Ning Yi, Ning Yi also looked at him, and between the two of them, suddenly Zhao Yancheng reacted and said, "Does the prince suspect that there are people in Xiliang——"

Ning Yi's expression became more and more cold, he got up and said, "Lord Zhao is tired today, it's time to go back and rest——"

Zhao Yancheng knew that he was a little overdistanced, so he didn't ask anymore, and was taken back to the residence arranged for him by Guo Ping, Ning Yi rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, sat down and wanted to drink tea, only to realize that the tea was already cold.

There were a few cooing bird calls outside the window, and Ning Yi said in a deep voice: "Come in-"

With a squeak, a black figure flashed in from outside the long window, and Ning Yi asked without looking back, "How is the situation in the imperial city?" ”

The man arched his hand and said: "Miss Mu entered the palace, and a lot of the hidden stakes we planted in the patrol camp were pulled out, and the rest of the people, just in case, also went to the shadows-Jiang An went to serve by Miss Mu's side, and he spread the news that Prince Kang Ning Yu entered the palace to accompany the county lord——"

Ning Yi knocked on the table and frowned: "Their movements are fast, what is the movement of Your Majesty?" ”

The man in black said respectfully: "Previously, the side hall where Miss Mu lived caught fire, and Your Majesty took Miss Mu to Hanyue Tower. ”

Ning Yi nodded and said, "Let Jiang An be smart, be careful with those wrists in the palace—go, retreat—"

Who knows, when the man left the room, there was a sound of fighting outside the room, and the sound became more and more intense, Ning Yi frowned, opened the door, and saw Liang Qi, who was covered in dust, standing in the courtyard with a sword.

There were guards lying around who had been hit hard by him, Liang Qi's face was like frost, and a long sword was faintly buzzing, when he saw Ning Yi, he wanted to step forward, but the man in black blocked Ning Yi's body with a wary look.

The people in front of him can be one against ten, and these people brought by Ning Yi are not Jingwei, but they are also first-class good players, and they were easily subdued by this middle-aged man, which shows that his martial arts are high, and he should not be taken lightly.

The sound in the courtyard soon disturbed Zhao Yancheng, who had just gone to bed on the side, and after experiencing the things of the day, Zhao Yancheng was very uneasy in his heart, and when he heard the sound of fighting, he immediately got up, and when he went out, he saw Peng Yu waiting outside the door.

Seeing his guards, Zhao Yancheng's heart was slightly relieved, and he asked while tidying up his clothes, "What's wrong?" ”

Peng Yu frowned and looked at the high wall on the side and said, "It seems to be the courtyard of the regent of Xiliang, someone should have broken in—my lord, do we want to-"

Zhao Yancheng was a little hesitant, remembering that he guessed Xiliang's internal affairs today, it was a little inappropriate, if he brought someone to mix it up at this time, he was afraid that it would dislike him.

But if something happened to that person by his side, he couldn't explain it clearly, thinking like this, he made up his mind and said: "Send someone to inform Commander Guo of the history, and say that someone broke into the post house at night, you follow me and I to take a look——"

Peng Yu nodded and made a gesture to the side, and immediately someone communicated.

And here, Ning Yi pulled the man in black back, stood in front of Liang Qi and said: "Mr. Liang broke into the post house at night, didn't you forget, this Xizhou is the boundary of the calendar. ”

Where did Liang Qi take care of so much, he raised his long sword and pointed at Ning Yi and said, "What about our young lady?" ”

Ning Yi chuckled, and then said: "Since Mr. Liang can find this king, he must already know where she is, since he knows, why do you say this?" ”

Liang Qi said angrily: "Three days ago, I lost the news of Miss, and when I returned to Xiliang Imperial City, I learned that she was no longer in the Regent Palace, but in the Xiliang Palace, don't tell me that you don't know all this-"

Ning Yi's fingertips lightly rested on the tip of Liang Qi's sword, serious and calm, as if it was just an ordinary thing that did not pose the slightest threat to him.

Liang Qi's eyes were cold, but there was deep concern in his eyes.

Ning Yi approached him step by step, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "He Xi can avoid Tuoba Yue and Tuoba Chen in the palace of the Great Calendar, and retreat with his whole body, do you really have no confidence in her?" Besides, the king still has men in the palace. ”

Liang Qi obviously believed Ning Yi's words, but he felt that Xiliang was not as good as the Great Calendar, and in the Great Calendar, there were some forces that could be used after all, but in Xiliang, if He Xi was really trapped in the palace, even if he was there, there was no way to rescue He Xi safely, not to mention that He Xi was now pregnant with Liujia?

Ning Yi obviously saw Liang Qi's concern, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Liang thinks that what did I show my affection for her for before?" Now their target is me, and in their opinion, He Xi is a tool that can contain me very well, do you say that if it were you, would you hurt her? ”

Liang Qi was stunned, but he felt a little scared in his heart, when did Ning Yi know that these things would happen? Since when did Ning Yi start weaving this net?

In the stalemate of the people in the courtyard, a noisy sound sounded outside, and Zhao Yancheng's voice said: "Lord Wang, but there are assassins?" ”

Ning Yi looked at Liang Qi, Liang Qi naturally knew Zhao Yancheng, in order to prevent this person from going to Tuoba Yue's side to talk too much, it was better to avoid it, so he said to Ning Yi: "Since the prince promised, I will listen to the instructions of the prince at any time_——"

After thinking about it, he added: "After all, this is in Xizhou, and there are many unchanged in the next, if the prince has any instructions, you can send someone to the Shili Pavilion outside the city to inform you." ”

Ning Yi nodded, Liang Qi's figure flashed slightly, and after a few vertical jumps, his body merged with the night and disappeared.

Ning Yi motioned to his subordinates to open the door, and Zhao Yancheng saw that the gate was open, the courtyard was in a mess, and several guards were still injured on their faces, so it was certain that someone had broken into the post house tonight.

Guo Ping almost didn't have much rest this night, just rested, and was awakened by the news again, he hurriedly led people from the command Shi Mansion to rush over, just met Qi Xiao who went to invite Langzhong, Guo Ping was worried that there were not enough people, and Qi Xiao's kung fu was excellent, so he didn't care about pulling Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao was helpless, so he had to instruct Lang Zhong before following Guo Ping all the way in the direction of the post house.

And when Guo Ping and the others came to Ning Yu's courtyard, they saw that Ning Yi seemed to be a person with nothing to do, Guo Ping's heart fell to the ground, fortunately, there was no problem, if it was in his territory, he couldn't afford any of these two people to have a problem.

Thinking like this, he hated the people who broke into the inn at night, and prayed in his heart that these two people would leave Xizhou after finding out the truth about the poisonous food earlier.

Thinking like this, the sweat on his face trickled down, he looked at Zhao Yancheng, Zhao Yancheng stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, this is-"

Ning Yi looked at the dilapidated scene around him casually, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, my guards practiced at night and destroyed the things in your land, this king will compensate three times the original price, and please command Lord Shi to care——"

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Yancheng felt incredible, drilling? Drills in the middle of the night? And the injuries on these people's bodies, although they did not hurt their lives, but they were also real injuries, and their own people would train their subordinates so lightly?

Ning Yi naturally knew that they didn't believe it, but what he meant by this was that he Ning Yi didn't want to investigate this matter, and he wouldn't provide them with any clues, as for whether they wanted to investigate it themselves, it depended on whether they had the ability to do so.
