Chapter 206: Speculation
"So what should we do now?" Ji Nan couldn't help but be a little worried, it was true that they were a little weaker than Fang Jie now.
"One word, wait!" From Ning Ze's tone, it sounded like he was ready to fight against Fang Jie.
That's why he just sent people to transfer the county orders around Guangchuan County, so that Fang Jie didn't dare to act rashly.
However, Ji Nan was still a little hesitant in his heart, did Fang Jie really dare to make a move on them.
"We either died at the hands of Fang Knot or at the hands of the mob, and it is possible to be "Died by the mob!" ”
"Ning Ze knew that when I came to Guangchuan County, he should have asked for your opinion, instead of seeing that you were sleeping, he didn't wake you up and make decisions without permission." Ji Nan himself began to regret it, he knew that his father didn't agree and simply didn't come, he had to hurt himself and others willfully, if he encountered such a thing again in the future, he would definitely not care about it anymore!
"You and I have been immersed in the court together for many years, and you still haven't grown at all. I really don't know if I'm helping you or hurting you. ”
Gently brushing his sleeves, the soldiers outside walked in with the candlesticks, not daring to look up at the people in the upper ranks, but silently put the candlesticks on the table, and then slowly retreated, without.
This is the person brought by Ning Ze himself, so he can rely on it.
Hearing Ning Ze say this, a trace of confusion flashed in Ji Nan's eyes.
"To be honest Ning Ze, we grew up together since childhood, and my father arranged for you to come to my side to assist me, but sometimes I really don't know if you are on my father's side or on my side."
"This time I offered to look for you, since it was to help you stand on your side."
"I know you're worried about my safety, but you're smart, you know what I mean."
"I am loyal to the Wei State, you are the future monarch of the Wei State."
Hearing this, Ji Nan sighed heavily and said, "That being said, I don't know if my father wants to hand over the throne to me.
According to the edict of my mother, when I became an adult, the throne should be returned to me, but I don't think my father seems to have this plan for a long time, and my uncle has never squeaked. ”
In fact, for Ji Nan, his recognition is more important than the throne.
He always felt that he was in a very awkward position.
"You're worried too much, Your Majesty just wants to wait, after all, the Wei State is still in a critical period of rising.
If you change the new owner rashly, it may cause turmoil, so for the sake of safety, there is no plan to pass on the throne for the time being. ”
"Ning Ze, you tell the truth, you have been with my father for so many years, do you know what kind of person he is?"
"The heart of the king is unpredictable, I only know that His Majesty is a virtuous king." At least for the time being than for the monarchs of other countries.
"Do you say that I can also become a virtuous monarch after I inherit the throne in the future?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still too early to think about this, if you are diligent in political affairs, you will definitely be a wise monarch in the future."
"I hope you'll be my right-hand man then."
"If there is a need, Ning Ze will naturally do his best and die."
This is the first time that Ji Nan has proposed his ideas to Ning Ze in the real sense.
Ning Ze also obviously felt that he and Ji Nan were no longer as simple and pure friends as they had been, at least they were going farther and farther on the road of monarchs and ministers.
In fact, Ning Ze hadn't thought about what Ji Nan would look like when he sat on the throne, after all, His Majesty was still young and strong now, and it should be almost impossible to let His Majesty abdicate at this time.
However, this incident in Guangchuan County also gave Ning Ze a wake-up call.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to get through the difficulties in front of us first, and everything will be negotiable after returning to Shaoliang City.
I don't know why Ning Ze suddenly missed Qi Shulai a little, I don't know how he is now, whether he has recovered from his wound well, whether he has eaten and rested on time, and whether Zhao Huanting has taken good care of her.
Candles had been lit in the house, and it must have been dark outside.
Ning Ze wanted to be quiet, so he didn't want to say anything to Ji Nan for the time being, so he casually found an excuse and then sent him back to rest, and today he was also scared a lot.
To be honest, at that time, even he himself saw the situation in Guangchuan County, and he couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
The scenes of those decomposing corpses and ruined fortunes, as well as the refugees with fierce looks on their faces and the scattered soldiers who were scattered, it was really difficult for Ning Ze to find Ji Nan's figure in the crowd.
Fortunately, he remembered that he had brought a small amount of emergency food, which he used to divert the attention of the refugees and free the soldiers from the refugees.
Once the refugees and soldiers were separated, it would be more convenient for him to find Ji Nan.
Unexpectedly, the assassin also had the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate.
Ji Nan knew that Ning Ze was worried about things at this time, so he didn't dare to disturb him beside him, so he simply left obediently and went back to his tent.
And Fang Jie, who left first, did not give up, and wanted to overhear the conversation between Ji Nan and Ning Ze.
But he found that around Ning Ze's tent, there were guards all around, and none of them were his people.
He was allowed to enter because he was in a hurry, so before he could report it, he had already trespassed.
Later, when he tried to get close again, he was stared at by the guards.
Helpless, Fang Jie had no choice but to give up the idea of eavesdropping and walked away.
Judging from the current situation, he was not completely at a disadvantage, because he had three thousand soldiers under his command, and Ning Ze brought only a small number of people.
Considering that Ning Ze would sue him after returning to Shaoliang City, I am afraid that the name of the runaway general will hang over his head, after all, he did leave Ji Nan among the refugees, and then ran away alone.
Although he sent a small team of men to protect him, they were all wiped out, and to make matters worse, he encountered the Assassins.
If someone maliciously speculates, they will definitely think that he colluded with others to murder His Royal Highness the Prince, and even if he jumps into the sea, he will not be able to wash it clean.
The entire Fang family may suffer a catastrophe because of this, even because of his momentary cowardice and cowardice, he will regret it very much.
Why did you agree to bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with him in the first place? Fang Jie couldn't help but hate Qi Shangshu again.
Maybe it's like what grandma said, the Qi family was born to defeat him. And he didn't even have the strength to fight back, because when he returned to Shaoliang, the entire Fang family would be punished.
I have to say that he is really murderous at the moment, as long as Ji Nan and Ning Ze and those who know about it are killed.
But the special situation is that this is not that the cause cannot be blamed on the battlefield for the war, so the causes of death of Ning Ze and Ji Nan will definitely be withdrawn by His Majesty, and once it is found on his head, it will be even more troublesome.
The current Fang Jie is extremely hopeful, hoping that there will be an opportunity for Ning Ze and Ji Nan to disappear directly from this world.
Except for the mob in Guangchuan County, it will definitely not work if he does it himself. What exactly is he supposed to do?
Twilight Tavern
"Princess, His Majesty of Wei has set a date to meet you, you see?" Zhao Siming came back to report after getting the news from the palace, after all, he had already said that he was going to see it before, but this delay has been delayed until now.
But the princess herself was not in the slightest hurry.
Because Qi Shu recovered well from her injuries, Zhao Pingting no longer stayed by her side day and night, but handled affairs at the Duchun Tavern during the day, and returned to the courtyard to have dinner with Qi Shu at night.
Although it is a bit tiring to run at both ends, it is more convenient for her to act, so Zhao Huanting thinks it is also very good.
If Qi Shu found out that he was always circling her, maybe he would also have some disgust. After all, normal people shouldn't be able to stand his meticulous consideration and love.
But even so, Zhao Huanting felt that she had tried her best and was very restrained.
If it weren't for Qi Shu's resolute refusal for him to go to bed with her, it would be difficult for Zhao Huanting to sleep with Qi Shu every day. Not to mention how comfortable it was to stay with Qi Shu, talking and chatting with her every day, talking about her favorite poets and poets, and talking about some political and military things, Zhao Huanting found that Qi Shu still had his own opinions, instead of going with the flow and talking eloquently.
Some sensitive words can be discussed very wonderfully.
Qi Shu is definitely good at reading poetry and books, and the knowledge and talent she has mastered are enough to compare with Zhao Huanting, who is also full of poetry books but has a lot of scheming.
If he were a man, he would definitely be fallen for the women of the world, but unfortunately he was a woman, and he was not an ordinary woman. Zhao Huanting has thought about it countless times, if they are just the children of ordinary people, they should already be able to say that they are married.
But the reality is not ideal after all.
He was the princess of Zhao and Qi Shu was the daughter of Shangshu of Wei.
In terms of gender alone, they will never be able to be together. If you can't see the light, it's fine, but if you can see the light, how much criticism will it attract? Is Qi Shu willing to be with her?
"Princess? Princess?! ”
Zhao Siming saw that Zhao Huanting was in a daze, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wave it in front of her. Remind your princess to come to her senses. He muttered a lot just now, but seeing that the princess was absent-minded, he couldn't help but stop continuing to narrate.
"Huh? What the? Zhao Huanting said suddenly, but her eyes were still a little confused, and Zhao Siming's heart was beating wildly.
"Princess, Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, left Shaoliang yesterday and went to find Ji Nan." The news was very reliable, it was the news from the spies they had set up in front of the palace for a long time.
"But who did you see before leaving?" Zhao Huanting's eyes are sparkling, and the charm and intuition that she inadvertently exudes are addictive.
"Back to the princess, Ning Ze entered the palace before coming to our courtyard, and after leaving from us, Princess Moran came to the door, and after meeting the princess, she set off."
"Hmm. Why do you think he went to Ji Nan? Obviously, Qi Shu was seriously injured, but he was reluctant to leave. Zhao Huanting couldn't help but chuckle when she said this.
Looking at Zhao Huanting's smile, Zhao Siming also laughed unconsciously, he had seen Zhao Huanting's face under the veil, the city was beautiful, and there was no woman in the world who could be like her own princess.
Thinking of which man would be able to marry her in the future, Zhao Siming's chest was full of envy.
"This, Ning Ze has a very good relationship with Ji Nan, Ji Nan's outing has caused many forces to watch, and some forces are ready to start, so ......" The reason why he can say this is also because of the intelligence obtained from all sides, not that he simply analyzed it himself.
"That's right, but you forgot a little bit, who Ji Nan went with this time."
"Square knots? The one who was named a general married to the princess of the Dian Kingdom. Zhao Siming said questionably while recalling, because the princess often does not have all parts common when assigning tasks, so there is less interaction between each other, so Zhao Siming does not know much about each other.
"Runaway General." Zhao Huanting snorted coldly disdainfully, and then seemed to think that Zhao Siming didn't understand what he meant, so she added: "There were thirty sons of courtiers who went to the battlefield with Fang Jie back then, but only Fang Jie came back and was made a general, are you really lucky to be Fang Jie?" Back then, the old lady of the Fang family taught Fang Jie how to save his life on the battlefield, but it was not in vain. ”
"How did the princess know so much?" Now it was Zhao Siming's turn to be curious.
"You don't have to worry about this, in short, there is a good show in Guangchuan County, and let's wait and see." Zhao Huanting would not say that he wanted to know Qi Shu better, so he investigated all the people related to Qi Shu to the end, so that Fang Jie was also investigated.
This Fang Jie, who is good at escaping and avoiding trouble, meets Ji Nan, who is brave and unscrupulous, and there are so many refugees in Guangchuan County, if this Fang Jie leaves Ji Nan behind, it will be equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and if Ning Ze gets into it again, he will definitely not be able to come back for a while. I have to say that Zhao Huanting's prediction was really accurate.
The county seat of Guangchuan is still in full swing, and Shaoliang City, which is not far from it, is still singing and dancing, except that the weather is hotter and there are fewer people walking around on the street, there is nothing else wrong, it looks very normal.
It will not be affected by the rumored waterlogging, because the terrain of Shaoliang is high, and it cannot be flooded by heavy water.
If someone had told them at this time that the refugees who had been affected by the disaster could not even eat, and that there was even a phenomenon of eating raw people from their children, it would have been said to be sensational.
Unless you really experience it, you can really appreciate the rotting corpse when it is exposed to the sun, or dragged into the root of the wall to rot and smell, flies and maggots fly around him, or shuttle and breed among the rotten flesh.
Midsummer is the best time and the worst time.
