Chapter 409: Drawings Stolen
The night was quiet, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and only a few stars were dim.
In a daze, Shui Ningyan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard a few subtle strong wind sounds outside the window, and the acuity cultivated over time made Shui Ningyan believe that he could never hear it wrong. She had already fallen asleep, quickly got up and quietly went out the door.
In the darkness, several figures were as agile as foxes, and a few ups and downs flew towards the backyard of the General's Mansion. Shui Ningyan followed behind, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked: the house was heavily guarded, and there were guards patrolling at night, so it was impossible for ordinary people to come and go freely. To avoid being discovered, the water condensation smoke followed the man in black from afar.
Several figures were as fast as a wind under the cover of the night, marching for a while, and finally stopped in front of the ancestral hall of the General's Mansion. The men in black gathered together and whispered a few words, and finally the two of them stood guard outside, and the other three tiptoed into the ancestral hall.
Shui Ningyan hid in the big tree in the courtyard, and saw the situation below at a glance, and when she saw a few people running to the ancestral hall, she immediately guessed the purpose of the man in black.
The most coveted thing in the General's Mansion is the marching formation map of Dongli Kingdom, and this marching formation map happens to be hidden in the ancestral hall of the mansion. It is impossible for outsiders to know, but these black-clothed people sneaked into the mansion and went straight to the ancestral hall, with a clear purpose, Shui Ningyan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: can know that the marching formation map is here, there are only a few people in the mansion, could it be that someone leaked it?
At this moment, Shui Ningyan felt that it should be more important to find out who was behind the scenes than to protect the marching formation. So, she decided to put a long line to catch big fish, as long as people keep an eye on those men in black, even if the marching formation plan is stolen, it will not be difficult to get it back.
Immediately, the big tree shook slightly, but it didn't make a light sound, and the whole person had flown away like a wild goose.
After about a cup of tea, the man in black came out of the ancestral hall and nodded at the people outside, and the man in black quickly withdrew.
"Who?"
I don't know which man in black stepped on a tile on the roof, and only smelled a cold drink in the dark.
When he was stunned, the man in black saw a white shadow suddenly appear, and then flew to the roof, blocking the way of the man in black.
In the dark, the man in black looked at it and saw that the other party was a woman in her early twenties, with skin better than snow, bright eyes and bright teeth, and fluttering clothes in the night breeze, like a fairy in the moon.
The men in black looked disdainful, and one of them grabbed his arm like an eagle's claw. Shui Ningyan sneered, turned to the other party's back at lightning speed, flew up and kicked the crook of the black-clothed man's leg, the black-clothed man howled, and rolled directly down from the roof.
The other black-clothed people were secretly shocked, but they didn't expect that just one photo would hurt them, and they didn't dare to underestimate the beautiful woman in front of them at the moment.
"Withdraw!"
One of them gave the order, and the others stopped fighting and fled as quickly as possible. The smoke jumped from the roof, and the man in black who fell to the ground staggered to his feet and fled in a hurry.
At this time, Shui Ningyan saw a bright sign on the ground, picked it up and looked at it, only to see that the brand was made of pure gold, heavy, and one side of the gold medal was written with the word "glass", and the other side was written with the word "Ouchi Guard".
The Ouchi guards of the Dongli Kingdom only obey the emperor's orders and only serve the emperor. In other words, tonight's Ouchi guards came to the General's Mansion to steal the marching formation map according to Huang Fuhao's order.
Shui Ningyan played with the token in his hand and sneered. That's interesting. Father and mother worked hard for the country of Dongli for half their lives, made countless contributions, kept the marching formation map for more than ten years, did their best, and never complained, but they didn't expect that Huang Fuhao was a white-eyed wolf, and wanted to frame loyal ministers and good generals with such indiscriminate means.
"Miss, are you alright?" Hearing the sound, Lime and He Shou rushed over.
"I'm fine." Shui Ningyan put away the token and shook his head.
He Shou asked, "Miss, do you want to chase it?" ”
"No need, I've already ordered someone to follow secretly."
As soon as Shui Ningyan's words fell, I only heard the sound of footsteps. When I looked up, I saw Shui Ziru and his wife coming in a hurry.
"Yan'er, are you alright?" As soon as Shen Yuexin came over, she was concerned.
"I'm fine, mother." Shui Ningyan paused slightly, and said, "Mother, let's go to the ancestral hall to have a look." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuexin and Shui Ziru immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately rushed to the ancestral hall.
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, after Shui Ziru and his wife entered, everyone else stayed outside. After a while, the two of them came out, and their faces were very ugly.
Then go to the main hall for discussion. In the main hall, Shui Ziru and Shen Yuexin were both frowning and worried. The water condensation smoke screen retreated from the other subordinates in the hall and broke the silence first.
"Daddy, mother, in fact, when the men in black infiltrated the mansion, I had already realized that I could have prevented them from stealing the array map, but my daughter didn't do it. Will dad and mother blame Yan'er? ”
Shui Ningyan's words suddenly shocked Shui Ziru and his wife, and the two were stunned for a long time.
"Yan'er, we know that you have always done things in a measured manner, and you must have your own reasons for doing this. Whatever you do, your father and mother don't blame you. ”
Shui Ziru spoke gently, and now that he heard Shui Ningyan's words, he and Shen Yuexin didn't have the worries they had before. Because they trust their daughter completely.
Shui Ziru's words warmed Shui Ningyan's heart, and Shui Ningyan was slightly moved: "Yan'er, thank you for your father's trust in me." Yan'er didn't make a move at the time because she thought it was really weird. Few people knew about the formation map hidden in the ancestral hall, and Yan'er felt that if he didn't find out the people behind him, there would always be hidden dangers, so he sent people to keep an eye on them. In addition, Smoke and the Man in Black have fought each other. ”
Shui Ningyan's words caused Shen Yuexin and Shui Ziru to think deeply for a while. After a while, Shen Yuexin asked, "Yan'er, how is the other party?" ”
"Good skills, good training."
Shui Ziru frowned and said, "I thought about it and felt that there were no suspicious people in the mansion. ”
"Daddy, when Yan'er and the man in black made a move, the man in black dropped this from his body." Shui Ningyan said and handed the token to Shui Ziru.
After Shui Ziru and his wife saw it, their faces changed greatly.
"It's the token of the Ouchi guard!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Shui Ningyan did not rush to speak, but gave time for Shui Ziru and his wife to calm down. She can completely understand the feelings of her father, desperately defending Dongli Kingdom and fighting for Huang Fuhao, but in the end, she was framed by Huang Fuhao, and anyone will be cold.
"Daddy, mother, I believe that you don't need to explain more from your daughter, you can also think about what is going on." Shui Ningyan sighed and said, "Huangfu Hao ordered someone to steal the formation map, and he will definitely pick an opportunity to ask his father and mother to set up the formation map, and if he can't hand it over, his father and mother will naturally not be able to escape punishment." Maybe Huang Fuhao just wants to use this to beat his father and mother and establish the emperor's prestige; Maybe he thinks that his father and mother are highly meritorious, and wants to seize the military power in the hands of his father. No matter which one it is, such a person is not worthy of his father and mother to die for him! The daughter hopes that her father and mother can think about it, no matter what, Yan'er doesn't want her father to be wronged. Daddy and mother have worked hard all their lives, and Yan'er also wants you to enjoy Qingfu, if you are willing, Yan'er hopes that it is better to resign and retire by taking advantage of the theft of the array map, and our family can also live a quiet life. ”
Shui Ningyan said earnestly, Shui Ziru and his wife sighed slightly when they heard this, and then they were silent, but their faces were already shaken.
The couple were not foolish people. They also felt that Huang Fuhao's approach had lost their hearts. They have been in the sea for half their lives, and they are already tired of it. Moreover, now that the Dongli country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is not a good idea for them to resign and retire at this time.
Shui Ningyan has already said what she should say, and then she will wait for Huangfu Haoxing to ask for the guilt. She couldn't help but wonder, if Huang Fuhao knew that he ordered someone to steal the formation map and lose the two generals, would he regret it? She is looking forward to this play in the near future.
Dongli country, the queen's dormitory. Early in the morning, Yun Zixiao had just had breakfast, and Mama Rong hurried in from outside. Looking at Mama Rong's face full of spring breeze, Yun Zixiao's heart moved, and she withdrew everyone in the hall.
Mama Rong approached and said happily: "Niangniang, good news." According to the report of the spies, the Ouchi guards succeeded last night, and now the layout map is already in the hands of the emperor. ”
"Okay, great, the General's Mansion doesn't have a formation map, and the palace has to see how they explain when they see it!" A vicious smile flashed in Yun Zixiao's eyes, and he reached out to support the jade phoenix ball on his head, very proud.
Mama Rong echoed: "Although Shui Ningyan has some ability, but after all, her arms can't reach her thighs, this time look at how arrogant she is!" At that time, for the sake of Shui Ziru and his wife, they had to plead for mercy. ”
"Hmph, no one who goes against this palace will end well! Sooner or later, it will be a scourge for that cheap girl to stay! Now that the prestige of the General's Mansion has been extinguished, and without the protection of the General's Mansion, what do I think that girl will fight with this palace? ”
Mama Rong smiled sadly: "Niangniang is wise." Shui Ziru and his wife are not good at protecting the map, and when the emperor blames them, how dare they be arrogant, and it will be much easier for Niangniang to deal with them at that time. ”
Yun Zixiao chuckled: "Mama Rong, this palace can thank you a lot, if it weren't for your advice by your side in this palace, maybe this palace wouldn't know how to start at this time." ”
Rong Mama hurriedly said: "Niangniang is really tormenting the old slave." Being able to solve problems for the mother is the blessing of the old slave. As long as the mother doesn't dislike the old slave for being stupid. ”
"Mama Rong is too modest, and you have a lot of ideas around this palace." Yun Zixiao paused, his eyes moved, and he seemed to smile and said, "Mama Rong, I will tell you to boil some pearl golden chicken soup later, and at noon, the palace will go to the imperial dining room to explore the emperor's style." ”
"Mother, the old slave will go."
