Ning Shangmo made a silent gesture towards him, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them around, he whispered, "I just came, arrange a room for me to eat first." ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant nodded in response: "Haole, you come with me." ”

Then, he took Ning Shangmo to a private room, the dining table was right next to the window, and he could see everything outside the window. She nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad." ”

"Big shopkeeper, wait a minute, the meal will be coming soon." The shopkeeper of the restaurant bowed down and smiled.

Ning Shangmo nodded, and took advantage of the cooking to tell him the purpose of her trip.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper of the restaurant couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "That's great." The tandem thing is wrapped up in me, and everyone has been waiting for this for a long time. In the hands of the Northern Mongolian people, we Daling people have no way to survive at all. Let's just say that our restaurant, every day they come to eat and drink from the sea, but they don't give money. What restaurant can withstand such a toss, and it will be closed in less than half a year. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, poured a cup of tea for Ning Shangmo, and then continued, "We're okay, I heard that the Yao Ji Restaurant next door was directly occupied by the Northern Mongolian people. and Liao Ji Qianzhuang and so on, all of which were robbed. Everyone also tried to resist, but they killed people without blinking, although they were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of affecting their wives and children. ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "This is the reason why everyone is afraid of it." ”

Hearing this, Ning Shangmo couldn't help but be silent.

She didn't think about this problem, and only thought about how to unite the Daling people against the Northern Mongolian people. But they forgot that the people of Daling in the border city are not soldiers, their family is here, and if one person commits a crime, it must be the whole family.

So, how can we avoid this problem?

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this time, Ming Qingyan was sitting in the private room next to her.

Although the wall of the private room was very airtight, it was difficult to say that he had carved a hole in the inconspicuous position in the wall.

In this way, not only can you see the situation on Ning Shangmo's side, but you can also hear her talking to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Therefore, the question she was thinking about was also the question that Ming Qingyan was thinking about, how to gather the warriors of the border city together, but also ensure the safety of their wives and children.

The meal was served on the table, and Ning Shangmo hadn't come up with a good way yet.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant persuaded: "The big shopkeeper, you eat first, we will discuss anything tomorrow, I will contact a few important people tonight, and we will find a way together tomorrow." ”

Ning Shangmo felt that it made sense, he was already here anyway, and he was not in a hurry, and the coming day was long, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, then eat first." ”

And Ming Qingyan next door also began to eat.

Although they can't see each other, this feeling of synchronization makes Ming Qingyan feel very good, and he can't help but secretly thank Leng Qingrong again for this good idea.

After the meal, the shopkeeper of the restaurant arranged a room for Ning Shangmo on the third floor of the restaurant.

Ming Qingyan heard it in the next room, so he whispered to Xiao Er, who came to refill the tea, "Is your third floor a guest room for rent?" ”

Xiao Er heard this and smiled: "Yes, the third floor is open to the public, but because it is not an inn, it is not a regular customer, and I don't know that we have a guest room here." Would you like to stay at this guest officer? ”

Ming thought for a moment and nodded, "I want a room, but I don't want anyone to know that I live here, can you do that?" ”

Xiao Er nodded and responded: "Of course we can, we open a store, naturally understand that we must respect the requirements of each guest officer, you can rest assured, living here is absolutely quiet and safe, no one will disturb you, but the guests on the same floor will not know each other." ”

Ming Qingyan was relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then you can arrange a room for me, it's better to be quiet, lean inside, I don't like to be lively." ”

"No problem." Xiao Er agreed.

After hearing that Ning Shangmo in the next room went to the guest room on the third floor accompanied by the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Ming Qingyan waited for another stick of incense, and then beckoned Xiao Er to arrange a room for him.

Xiao Er took him to the third floor and let him be the innermost room closer.

The furnishings in the room are very elegant, and there are daily necessities, Ming Qingyan is very satisfied, nodding and smiling: "Not bad." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and put it in the hands of the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "I want to stay for a few days, please take care of it in the future, this bit of silver will be your hard-earned money." ”

The shopkeeper smiled gratefully: "Thank you for this guest officer, it's just too much, I don't dare to ask for it." ”

Ming smiled lightly: "It's not in the way, you just have to take it, so that I can call you to do things in the future." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he put the silver in his pocket and promised: "Guest officer, if you have anything, just say hello." ”

Ming nodded lightly, and asked seemingly casually, "It seems that there was a female guest officer who also lived in just now?" What room is she in? ”

After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that the shopkeeper would misunderstand, shook his head and smiled: "Don't be careful, I'm just asking casually." Since she is a female guest officer, it must be a little inconvenient, so pay more attention in the future. ”

The shopkeeper smiled understandingly: "When I look at the guest officer, you are a decent gentleman, and you are exquisite, she is in the first room near the stairs." It doesn't seem to be a female guest officer, but the big shopkeeper of our Ning Ji head shop, Miss Ning. The shopkeeper arranged for her to live in another courtyard and didn't want to live in the past, so it was strange that she had to live here. ”

Ming heard this, sighed lightly, and then stretched and yawned.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Guest officer, you rest, just greet me if you have anything." ”

Ming nodded lightly and smiled: "It's hard work." ”

Although Ming Qingyan was in the house, he always paid attention to the movements outside.

Around midnight, he heard a slight sound of the door opening.

A spirited got up from his bed and leaned over to the window to look out through the crack.

It happened that Ning Shangmo's room was on the opposite side of his room, so he could just see the movement on her side.

I saw her open the door and come out, and then go down the stairs.

Ming Qingyan then followed out the door and quietly went downstairs.

At this time, the hall on the first floor of the inn was quiet, and everyone was asleep.

The shopkeeper also fell asleep behind the counter, Ning Shangmo walked out of the inn, and then walked forward along the main road.

Ming Qingyan didn't know where she was going, so he could only follow her.

I followed too closely, for fear that she would find out.

It's late at night, and the whole world is silent.

I followed it too far, and I was afraid of tracking.

Therefore, he followed very carefully, his brain remained highly alert, as long as Ning Shangmo turned his head slightly, he immediately hid.

Ning Shangmo had been walking on the road, with no intention of stopping.

Ming Qingyan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he wouldn't be discovered by her, so he would deliberately lead him out of the hole, right?

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue chasing, Ning Shangmo stopped at the door of a family.

Ming Qingyan hid behind a big pillar and looked secretly, there was no mansion marked at the door of the house, it seemed that it should not be an official family, but an ordinary person.

Ning Shangmo pulled the knocker, and soon someone came out to open the door, and she walked in.

Ming Qingyan then came to the outside of the courtyard wall of this house, hesitated slightly, and turned over the wall.

This is a two-entry yard, only the backyard has lights, and there is no one in the front yard.

Ming Qingyan checked the environment of the courtyard, and without the courtyard, he was much more relieved, and then came to the backyard.

Then he went to the window of the room where the light was on, lay on the windowsill, dipped his fingers in spit, pierced the window paper, and looked in.

found that Ning Shangmo was talking to an elderly lady, and the lady's face was withered, as if she had experienced something sad.

So Ming held his breath and listened to them.

I only heard Ning Shangmo ask, "Don't you want to meet your son?" ”

The old woman shook her head and replied, "As long as you know that he is doing well, I will only hurt him if I meet him." Let people know his humble origins and look down on him, so how can he stand in the royal family? ”

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said, "You think about it too." It's just that you miss your son so much, it's really unbearable to watch. ”

"I'm used to it. Forcibly keeping him by his side would only ruin his future. Speaking of this, the old woman looked at her and begged: "No matter where you know about me and my son, can you promise me not to tell anyone?" ”

Ning Shangmo looked at her with some hesitation, she originally wanted to use her identity and use her as a bargaining chip, so that she could negotiate with Emperor Beimeng when the time came. But seeing her so pitiful, an old woman who was lonely and endured the pain of losing her son, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Seeing that she did not answer, the old woman continued: "I fled here because I thought that no one here knew me, and I would not cause trouble to my son, but you still found me after all, and it seems that I am not suitable to live here, and I should go to the mountains to live in seclusion." I know that many people want to use me to fight my son and the emperor, and I will not let them succeed. ”

What she said was very decisive, Ning Shangmo could understand the desperate dedication and sacrifice of a mother for her son.

She will also become a mother, and if she will also face the situation of an old woman, she will not hesitate to make the same choice.

Therefore, she hurriedly persuaded her: "Old man, you don't have to move, no one here will know except me, and I won't do anything to you, just live here with peace of mind." ”

When the old woman heard her say this, she couldn't help but ask movingly, "Is what you said true?" ”

Ning Shangmo nodded vigorously: "Yes, I won't lie." ”

"Thank you, girl, you're a good person." If the old woman is grateful, she should salute.

Ning Shangmo hurriedly supported her and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry to bother me so late, I won't be in the future, you take care, I'm leaving." ”

After saying that, she saluted the old woman and left.

Only then did Ming Qingyan understand that Ning Shangmo didn't know where he learned that Tuoba Hongyu's mother was in the border city, and when she first wanted to control her and use her for her purposes, she changed her mind later.
