Chapter 144

Ying Ning returned to the secret room in an orderly manner, and after an unknown time, she was already sitting there and began to fall asleep, when there was a sudden movement at the door, and she suddenly woke up from her dream.

He had changed into clean clothes, and no one followed him, so he walked towards her with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a calm face. His eyes were full of inquiry, as if he wanted to see something in her.

Ying Ning was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at him directly with her eyes down. But she still had to ask something, and she said, "Is it all over?" Are you okay? ”

I lifted the hem of my robe, sat down slowly in front of her, looked at her with a smile and said, "Am I okay, aren't you very clear?" ”

Ying Ning smiled unnaturally: "How would I know, you locked me up here, and I don't know how to get out." ”

I twisted my fingers and raised my head to stare at Ying Ning intently, Ying Ning became more and more uncomfortable, thinking in her heart how she would answer if he suspected something about her, so that he could be convinced. After a long time, I asked, "I heard from my secret guard that there was a girl with a masked face who saved me. I thought about it for a long time, I shouldn't know a girl who knows martial arts. If you think about it again, it seems that you are the only one in this house who can do a little effort. It's just that I still don't understand, is your martial arts so powerful? ”

Ying Ning was stunned, then shook his head and said: "I'm just a three-legged cat's kung fu, that's not me, I'm locked in a secret room, and I can't get out." ”

"Oh." I let out a meaningful sound, and suddenly grabbed her hand when she was unprepared. Her fingers, clean, didn't seem to have any traces. Just a little closer, there was still a little dried blood between her fingernails. A little bit, it looks a little dazzling at the moment.

Ying Ning panicked in his heart, hurriedly withdrew his hand from his hand, and said without hesitation: "Men and women don't kiss, please respect yourself." ”

Her face was flushed, like a red pomegranate hanging on a branch in autumn. Wu Qi finally laughed out loud and said softly, "Yingning, I'll figure it out." He stretched out his hand and slapped it a few times, the door of the secret room was opened from the outside, and Mo Yan walked in.

"All arranged?" I asked.

"Yes, the prince can set off." Mo Yan said as he lifted a brick on the wall, and inside was a small hole, and there was a mechanism in the hole. She twisted slightly, and a hole opened in the ground not far away, and there was a tunnel in this secret room.

Wu Qi picked up the torch hanging on the wall, took her hand with one hand, and led her to the entrance of the cave, Yingning asked puzzledly, "Where are we going?" ”

They entered the tunnel together, and Mo Yan silently followed behind. After walking dozens of meters, I answered her question: "We have to go out and hide, after all, I am dead, if I am seen, I will not be exposed." ”

"And where are we going to hide?" The tunnel is narrow, dark and damp, and the occasional sound of water can be heard. My palms were wide and warm, and Ying Ning held his hand, feeling peaceful.

Wu Qi turned his head to her and smiled mysteriously, pinched her palm with his fingers, and said, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

They walked slowly through the tunnel, and walked for about half an hour before they came to the end. Mo Yan pushed away a stone above his head, and the bright sunlight shone in obliquely, Ying Ning couldn't adapt to the sudden light for a while, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes.

When they came out of the tunnel, they saw a dense forest. Somehow, Ying Ning looked at this forest and looked a little familiar, as if she had been here before, but she couldn't remember when she came.

The early morning sun, in such a wood, looks a little cool. I threw away the extinguished torch in my hand, and still held her hand tightly. They walked all the way, and finally arrived in front of a house, and Yingning suddenly understood why it was so familiar.

She was still called Linlang at that time, and she was hit by the Lost Soul Gu, and I brought her here to recuperate. She and I had a very happy time here, and there are good memories of her.

She didn't know the meaning of the existence of this house, did she still have to tell her that the so-called prince in front of her, the prince who had changed his appearance, was the former ghost king Zhong Wuqi, and she didn't recognize the wrong person. The pleasure in her heart couldn't be stopped, and slowly crept up her cheeks.

Seeing her smile happily, I asked, "Do you like it here?" ”

Ying Ning nodded busily and said with a smile: "Well, I like it." ”

Pointing to the unluxurious and modest house in front of me, I explained: "I used to like to hunt in this forest, and sometimes I didn't want to go back when it was late, so I ordered someone to build a house here. It's been a long time since I've been here, and now it's coming in handy again. ”

Push open the door, and everything is still the same. A bamboo recliner, on which Yingning used to rest with a thin quilt. Sometimes she would have a book on her lap and she wouldn't necessarily be able to read it. Because she was not in good spirits at that time, she would always look at it and fall asleep. In one corner of the room was a bookshelf, from which she picked up the books she read.

The house is very clean and tidy, someone should have cleaned it. Sunlight shines through doors and windows, and tiny dust particles can occasionally be seen. Ying Ning touched around, the tables, chairs, cabinets, bookshelves, clean without a trace of dust, everything she felt familiar. Finally she sat on that chaise longue, her eye sockets were sore, and she was in a trance for a moment, suddenly feeling that they were back in the past, back to the time when they got along.

I didn't know what Yingning was thinking, I just thought she might like it here. She liked it, and he rejoiced in his heart. He had never had such an experience that would affect himself because of the emotions of others. It's rare that he doesn't hate the feeling and enjoys it. He thought once again that if the Xiongnu were pacified this time, he would definitely invite the imperial brother, and he would marry the princess. Everyone was looking forward to this, he didn't before, he always thought that marrying anyone was the same, as long as it was pleasing to the eye. Now he understands that marrying a wife is not only pleasing to the eye, but also to his beloved.

They should stay here for a few more days, with food and clothing, and everything they need to prepare. They went to the backyard together and didn't know what to discuss, probably the next thing to deal with. Ying Ning made them a pot of tea, sent it to the stone table in the backyard, and rested on the chaise longue. She hadn't slept well these days, her eyes were sore, and she was very tired.

Our fake coffin will be buried tomorrow, and news of his death should soon reach the Huns. It is believed that they will soon be able to raise troops to invade the border, because they think that if we die, the threat to them will be greatly reduced. Now the soldiers I brought in the period have shown a situation of discouragement, after all, the generals are no longer there, and what motivation can be there to fight. Let's make this arrogant nation proud for a few days, after all, they rarely have such an opportunity.

Near noon, Ying Ning was worried about what to eat, when she saw Steward Zhong enter the door with a big food box. She greeted her and said with a smile, "Is Uncle Zhong here to deliver lunch?" It's a coincidence, I don't know how to solve the problem of food and clothing. ”

Steward Zhong smiled innocently, and the wrinkles on his face were like pecans, piled together, and he was extremely happy. He said: "Although the prince now lives in this barren mountain and forest, his status is precious, and the food is still the best. ”

Ying Ning took the heavy food box, carefully put it on the table of the house, and said, "Uncle Zhong doesn't have to come in person, there are many chores in the palace, and you can't be busy alone." I have to work hard to deliver food. You've traveled so far, you're really tired. ”

Steward Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully: "Where is the girl, the old slave does not dare to slack off on the prince's meal, and it must be delivered by hand to be at ease." ”

Ying Ning took out the food from the food box and asked, "Uncle Zhong, I heard that you served by the prince's side when he was young?" ”

Steward Zhong bowed his head and replied, "Yes, the old slave used to serve Concubine Jin, that is, the current Queen Mother." Later, the prince was born, and the queen mother wanted a decent and trustworthy person to serve the prince, so she assigned the old slave to the prince. ”

"Oh, then you must know the prince very well. What are his preferences and taboos? "Yingning finally seized such an opportunity, he must ask clearly, clearly, and only then can he prescribe the right medicine in the future, and strive to win my period as soon as possible. She felt that I didn't hate her at least, and I had to strike while the iron was hot to get my hands on it.

Steward Zhong raised his wrinkled eyelids and looked at Ying Ning, this may really be the future princess. Otherwise, according to the prince's temperament, how could he bring a maid over, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide. If there is any taboo for the prince, it is a troublesome woman. In the past, the prince loved to put a sentence on his lips, and often used this sentence to teach the ten kings a lesson. This sentence is that only villains and women are difficult to raise in the world. Since Miss Yingning arrived in the mansion, he has never heard the prince say this again.

The Ten Kings have always been prodigal and have no rules, and the words of their mouths are seven points unbelievable. Unexpectedly, this time the vision and insight are good, and I don't know where to find such a baby, the prince really fell in love with Miss Yingning. However, this girl does have something extraordinary, not to mention that she is beautiful, she is not pretentious, she is cheerful and generous, and she can serve the prince properly. It is said that he also has a good martial arts, is brave, and can become the right-hand man of the prince at critical moments. Thinking about it, this is indeed rare, if it really becomes a princess, it is not bad. The fly in the ointment is that the background is a little worse. said that the prince married a maid as the princess, I am afraid that it will cause rumors. However, the prince has always been informal, and he never cares about these. The only sad level is probably that the Queen Mother is not easy to explain. After all, in the royal family, the concubine is still very respectful. And the prince is the younger brother of the saint today, and he is the most respected, how can he easily allow the prince to marry a girl with no power and a humble status?

Steward Zhong doesn't care who the princess is, the object of his service is only the prince. But Miss Yingning, he likes it relatively very much, and it is better than the arrogant Qingchun who has eyes above the top and is arrogant. He said: "The prince doesn't like many things, it's just drinking tea, reading books, and practicing martial arts." As for the taboo, in front of the girl, there should be none. The girl is smart, serving by the prince's side, she should be able to understand the prince's mind"

That's right, she really hasn't seen him do anything in the days she has been by my side. Ying Ning secretly figured out that his life was really boring, and like the ghost kings in the past, he didn't have any special preferences. Like Yejun loves to make a fragrance, and Red Aya loves to make wine. Can he count those preferences as anything else, just a normal life.
