Chapter 229: A Private Appointment
Zhuye hurriedly asked again: "What about the little stone?" Didn't you say that Xiang Wu would be back? ”
"I have my own plans, so you don't have to worry about it. Tell Hua Lanyao that they will do whatever they need to do, and they don't have to worry about Xiaoshi's affairs anymore. Now that the war ahead is tight, the preparation of food and salary is the most important thing. Ning Shangmo commanded.
Zhuye had to nod and agree.
Ning Shangmo went out, and Zhu Ye asked Xiang Zhuqing very uneasily: "You say, our young lady won't have anything, right?" ”
Zhu Qing sighed: "With Miss's temper, what can you and I do, we can only do it at home." ”
Zhuye clasped his hands together, and said something in his mouth: "Amitabha, please ask the Buddha to bless me, my young lady will not have anything to do." ”
"Ugh." Zhu Qing couldn't help sighing, and also folded his hands and chanted silently.
That's all they can do.
Besides, Ning Shangmo left the Ning Mansion and stood at the Jiumen Admiral Yamen Relief Station, asked if there was nothing wrong, and left again.
After she went out, she went straight to the grove outside the North City Gate.
The letter that came in through the crack in the door in the morning told her to go to the grove alone to get the little stones. If there is one more person, Xiaoshi's life will not be guaranteed.
Therefore, when Ning Shangmo talked to Zhuye in the morning, he would stay half of it, for fear that they would worry. If you tell others quietly to follow her to the woods, then the small stones will be dangerous.
She knew Tuoba Yanling, but she was afraid of saying and doing, so she didn't dare to say it.
Therefore, when a person came to the grove outside the north gate, he saw Tuoba Yanling standing there with a small stone waiting for her. She is also a person, Ning Shangmo couldn't help but sneer: "You are so bold, you dare to be presumptuous in the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Give me back the little stone. ”
"Don't dare to give you back the little stone, but you have to promise me one thing." Tuoba Yanling also sneered: "Don't talk about the Daling Imperial City, even the Daling Imperial Palace, I can enter and enter the Daling Imperial Palace freely." ”
As she spoke, she took out a waist card from her pocket and showed it to Ning Shangmo: "Is this only in the palace?" Last night, I led the little stone to stay in the warm pavilion in the imperial garden. Don't believe me, you ask the little stone. ”
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when she heard this, she was actually in the palace last night? And no one notices? Wouldn't it be easy to take the lives of the emperor and others in this way?
She also went to the palace to report to the emperor, but she didn't know that Tuoba Yanling was in the palace. This is clearly a naked provocation, how can she swallow this breath?
Tuoba Yanling saw that her face was purple and red, and she was speechless with anger, and her heart was very happy. He lowered his head and asked Xiao Shi, "Say, where did you sleep with your aunt last night?" ”
"Hey, why are the two aunts? Which is true or false? Xiao Shi tilted his head in confusion and asked. She looked at this, looked at that, and didn't know which was real.
Tuoba Yanling sneered, stretched out his hand and poked him on the forehead: "Little brat, my aunt hurts you in vain." ”
Only then did Xiao Shi reply suspiciously: "Are you real?" ”
"If not, can I take you into the palace to live?" Tuoba Yanling smiled.
Xiao Shi believed it at this time, and asked curiously: "Yes, the palace is not something that can be entered casually, and my mother can't go there." You're a real aunt, so what about her? Isn't it fake? Why do you look so alike? ”
Tuoba Yanling replied with a smile: "It must be that she saw that her aunt was good-looking and wealthy, so she wanted to look like me and get some light." ”
Xiao Shi suddenly realized, and nodded without pretending to understand: "So that's the case." ”
Ning Shangmo listened to them sing and harmonize, and Xiao Shi was coaxed by Tuoba Yanling to be dizzy, not distinguishing the true from the fake. The anger in his heart was even stronger, and he pointed at Tuoba Yanling and reprimanded: "Demon girl, quickly return the little stone to me, if there is anything, the two of us will settle the matter." ”
When Tuoba Yanling heard this, she didn't pay attention to her, but shook her head helplessly at Xiaoshi and smiled: "Look, how can this woman be your aunt, it's just vulgar." Sleep, little boy, I'll take care of this woman who doesn't know whether to live or die. ”
As she spoke, she reached out and tapped on the little stone.
The little stone fell asleep, and Tuoba Yanling asked him to sit and sleep against the trunk of the tree.
Then, she said to Ning Shangmo: "You also saw that I didn't embarrass the little stone. It's not hard for you to get her back, but you have to promise me one condition. ”
Ning Shangmo asked aloud, "What conditions?" ”
"You're going to fight me on the battlefield." Tuoba Yanling raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you agree, I'll let you take the little stone away now, if you don't agree?" Don't blame me for bringing him back to Northern Mongolia and training him to be a dead soldier who specializes in assassinating your Daling. ”
Ning Shangmo's heart couldn't help but sink when she heard this, it was said that this matter was not difficult, she originally planned to go to the border to meet Ming Qingyan. It's just that now that she is pregnant, and the food and salary matters have not yet been prepared, she will not be able to leave for a while, how is it good?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Tuoba Yanling couldn't help but sneer: "Why don't you dare? Willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head in this big rear? I can tell you, even if I hide here, I am afraid that I will not be able to enjoy a few good days, and my Northern Mongolian army will trample on this so-called prosperity in less than three months. ”
Ning Shangmo became angry when he heard this, and immediately replied: "What is there to be afraid of?" You Beimeng Xiu want to capture my Daling Village. Besides, I'm a strong soldier, and I still need my woman's family to go into battle to kill the enemy? But since you want to compete with me on the battlefield, I naturally won't refute you, say, when? ”
Tuoba Yanling was happy when she saw her agree, and replied, "I'll leave immediately." ”
"Shall I leave in three days? If you don't, then I don't want even a little stone. Ning Shangmo replied, she has to deal with the matter at hand, so naturally she can't leave immediately, otherwise wouldn't the imperial city be in chaos? The emperor will definitely send people to look for her everywhere.
Tuoba Yanling thought for a while and warned: "Okay, then it's up to you, after three days, if I don't see you out of the city, I will enter the palace, take Concubine Yun Guifei away, and let her be my father's concubine." In the future, let the little prince of the Emperor Da Ling come back and kill all of you. ”
Ning Shangmo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he heard this: "Tuoba Yanling, you are too vicious, if you go on like this, be careful of retribution, people still have to accumulate virtue and do good." ”
Tuoba Yanling couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Retribution? My retribution has already come, and now I live only for revenge, so what is there to be afraid of? ”
Ning Shangmo knew that she had lost her conscience since she was robbed early, so he stopped talking nonsense with her, picked up the small stone and said loudly: "Don't worry, I still want to defeat you on the battlefield." You won't miss the appointment. ”
After saying that, she hugged the small stone and walked away.
Tuoba Yanling looked at her departing back, a sinister smile on her face, everything was going according to her plan. Ning Shangmo was in the Daling Imperial City, she couldn't move her, but when she left the Imperial City, without the protection of the emperor and everyone, everything would be up to her at that time.
Besides, Ning Shangmo brought the little stone back to Ning Mansion.
Everyone was very happy to see the little stone return safely, and asked Ning Shangmo how to save the little stone.
Ning Shangmo smiled and said to Xiao Shi: "You tell me how you left Uncle Ning Yi, and what happened after that?" ”
Xiao Shi nodded obediently and told everyone what had happened to him since yesterday afternoon.
It turned out that when he was waiting for Mingmei to buy him a candy man, Tuoba Yanling came, and he naturally regarded her as Ning Shangmo. In this way, Tuoba Yanling easily took him away. and led him to play until dark, and then took him to a house for dinner. Then he took him into the palace and lived in the warm pavilion of the imperial garden.
When everyone heard this, they understood that he was indeed deceived by Tuoba Yanling.
Mingmei couldn't help but ask, "My good boy, why didn't you tell me at that time?" You, who worries us all. ”
Xiao Shi replied very seriously: "I also said at the time that I would tell Aunt Mingmei, but Aunt Shangmo said, play hide and seek with you, you will know when the time comes." ”
The child is so coaxing, and everyone will stop accusing him of anything.
Ning Yi asked out loud, "Do you remember where you were in the house where you went to eat?" ”
Xiaoshi shook his head and replied: "I don't remember when it was dark, by the way, why didn't you ask Aunt Mo?" ”
Ning Shangmo knew that he was a child, and he was deliberately coaxed by Tuoba Yanling, so naturally he couldn't ask anything. Let Mingmei take him back to the courtyard to rest.
Ning Yi saw that although Xiao Shi had returned, but the troublemaker had not caught it, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, look, how can we catch Tuoba Yanling's demon girl?" If she is allowed to do evil in the imperial city, she may cause many more troubles. ”
When Ning Shangmo heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but first picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and then replied slowly: "I'm afraid that she has already left the imperial city." Now that Beimeng is at war with Da Ling, I am afraid that she will go to the border to fight. ”
"Are you sure? What if she stays in our Imperial City? Wouldn't it be better? Ning Er immediately asked.
Ning Shangmo smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "Do you want her to stay in the Imperial City?" Wouldn't it be better, bastard. ”
Ning Er knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained: "Miss, you know me, if you are in a hurry to speak, you will not be able to catch up." I mean, Tuoba Yanling is not stupid, why should she go back to the battlefield? Wouldn't it be more effective if he stayed in the Great Ling Imperial City to sabotage? We can't just let it go. ”
Ning Shangmo naturally didn't tell him the truth, but nodded and responded: "So, wait a few days, if the wind is calm, then she will leave." If it weren't for her, she was afraid that tomorrow would make my Daling Imperial City noisy. ”
Ning Er heard this, nodded and said no more.
The three days were uneventful, and there were no cases related to Tuoba Yanling in either the palace or outside the palace. So everyone gradually reassured, thinking that Tuoba Yanling returned to being meng as Ning Shangmo said.
Ning Shangmo seemed to have nothing to do on the surface, but his heart became more and more heavy.
