Chapter Forty-Eight: The Depths of the Secret Land 1

The storm knocked on the red lattice window, and the red nanmu pillar in front of the window stood in the wind and rain, letting the pouring rain wash the ground more red and brighter. The goldfish in the pond swam to and fro in the torrential rain, as if they were avoiding the large raindrops, as if they were celebrating the ferocity of the rain.

The door to the imperial study slowly opened, and the two cabinet ministers stepped over the wide threshold and stood under the eaves to watch the rain that never stopped. At this time, three figures came in the hazy rain curtain, and when they looked closer, it turned out to be the Prime Minister and Yu Xiaowan of the Criminal Department and Du Yangyang of the Military Department, and behind them there was Murong Qing of the Household Department.

Wu Yue, the assistant minister of the cabinet, saw that several of them were all new talents from the six ministries, said hello slightly, and braved the heavy rain to walk outside the palace.

Wu Xiaoai and the others watched the two cabinet ministers leave, and then entered the imperial study under the guidance of the king.

The rain outside the window was even more urgent, and this was the largest rain that Tianfeng Kingdom had encountered since its founding. Xi Ning listened to the sound of "crackling" raindrops falling and slowly said: "With such a heavy rain, I'm afraid that there will be another flood in the south, Murong Aiqing has prepared the silver taels in advance, so as to facilitate the timely relief and decentralization." ”

"Weichen Command!" Murong Qing quickly knelt down to accept the order.

"The Criminal Department, temporarily detain the Wei family, and deal with everything when I come back. The problem of manhunting and arrest in Dongfang was also temporarily suspended, and manpower was concentrated on the security of the capital. Xi Ning thought about it for a long time, and then said, "Has Wei Xu left the capital?" ”

"Left, according to the will, she has been expelled from the capital, after she was released from prison, she went to Huarong Mansion to borrow money, but she didn't borrow it, and went to Changqing Mansion to borrow money, and finally left with the ten taels of silver rewarded by Chang Xiang. Wei Xu and Chang Xiang and Huali are friends, and they never thought that they would be in trouble, and their feelings were full of warmth. Yu Xiaowan said to herself. Xi Ning has been listening quietly.

"That's all for now! If the household department is short of silver, you can borrow it from Huang Qichan, the city lord of Yuecheng, and give her this letter when you go. Xi Ning remembered this and explained to Murong Qing.

"Wu Aiqing, if I am not in the palace, you will take care of the government for the time being, and everything will wait for me to come back. Du Aiqing sent a decree to Deputy General Hua Rong of the Mobei Military Camp to be canonized as the commander of the Mobei Army, and the border was not violated. Xi Ning explained to Wu Xiaoai on the side.

"Commandment!"

Xi Ning stroked his forehead and waved his hand to them, and several people took a few steps back and turned to leave.

The rain continued to beat the bluestone slab in the palace, and Xi Ning walked towards the outside of the palace with the shadow of the secret guard left by the lore, but was stopped by Miao Ren who was chasing after him on the way.

"Xiao Xi, I know what you're going to do, take me!" Miao Ren looked at Xi Ning intently with firm eyes, and thought to himself: Brother Baili is not here, Brother Yi still has to take Nuo'er, and only he can accompany her and protect her.

Xi Ning stood in the rain, watching the raindrops hit Miao Ren's eyes, although she doubted why Miao Ren knew her plan of action, but since she already knew that she was chasing her, she couldn't bear to refuse, thinking that together she would be together!

"Let's go!" Xi Ning took Miao Ren's hand and continued to run towards the outside of the palace.

The high wall that occupied a Huaxi Street appeared in the sight of Xi Ning and the others, and the shadow was familiar with the way in front of him, and Xi Ning and Miao Ren quickly followed.

Miao Ren, who was behind him, stared at the back of the shadow, wondering why this man was by Xi Ning's side, and his martial arts were not under the lore. Could it be that Brother Yi trained the secret guard again? He couldn't help but ask: How many years has Ethan been working to have such a huge force? If it hadn't been for Brother Yi's quiet notification, he might have missed the operation.

Xi Ning had no intention of guessing Miao Ren's thoughts, she was looking forward to the harvest of the Wei Clan's secret land. Lore deliberately took Baili Qianao out of the capital to find Xiaoyu's whereabouts, and secretly asked people to send a letter saying that the person might still be in the capital Wei Mansion. After Xi Ning got the news, he brought Weilong Weihu and asked about it, but only Wei's secret place was suspicious. This is the scene in the prison, and now it seems that their guess may be right.

The Great Wall-like wall is particularly bright and dazzling on Huaxi Street, with brown glazed tile roofs, crimson courtyard walls, dark wall and floor tiles, and huge four doors, round and large copper-colored rivets inlaid on the mahogany gates, echoing the rounded corners of the heads of the two stone lions at the door, which looks so indestructible.

Xi Ning and the others climbed over the wall, followed the shadow and went straight to the backyard, and the glazed tile bricks that flew by at great speed made Xi Ning think of He Shen. Maybe that's just the case with Shen.

Coming to the backyard, Xi Ning carefully observed the three ordinary houses in front of him, there was nothing special about it, let alone attracting people's attention. Is this really Wei's Midland?

"Your Majesty, all the corners of the Wei Mansion have been turned over, and there is nothing, only the subordinates here have not." The shadow stood up straight, bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Xiao Xi, there is an enchantment here!" Miao Ren slowly stretched out his hand forward, as if he was touching something, but Xi Ning didn't see anything. Xi Ning learned from Miao Ren's appearance and stretched out his hand to touch it, and he really touched a wall, but he couldn't see anything with the naked eye. The rain curtain penetrated the invisible wall, and Xi Ning could see the splash of water as the rain hit the roof.

At this time, she remembered that Wei Qianrong had said that only the patriarch could enter this place.

"Little fox, is there a way to get in?" Xi Ning asked softly, thinking that if it was really a legendary enchantment, then only Miao Ren knew the method.

"Xiao Xi, only the two of us can go in." Miao Ren looked at the shadow and said.

Xi Ning looked at Miao Ren puzzled, why could he go in?

"Xiao Xi, you have a natal pill body, I can take you in, but if he goes in, I'm afraid that he won't come out." Miao Ren glanced at the shadow again, and for some reason, the shadow that had never appeared under the face towel made Miao Ren feel uneasy, thinking that this person would be a threat.

The shadow understood Miao Ren's eyes, which was a kind of hostility. But as a subordinate, he is not qualified to refute, and can only obey the orders of his master.

"Ei, you're just waiting here." Xi Ning explained and walked towards Miao Ren.

Miao Ren hugged Xi Ning's waist, silently recited a few words that Xi Ning didn't understand, and then slowly walked towards the wall in the air.

The shadow opened its mouth in surprise, unable to believe what it was seeing, and the two large living beings disappeared before his eyes like that. Who is this Miao Ren? Why is there such unfathomable power?

After Xi Ning and Miao Ren entered, they found that there were no three rooms here, this was at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by mist, like a fairy dream, very unreal. She walked inside step by step, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing, but she also accepted this fact that could not be explained by science at all, just as she had crossed over at the beginning.

What's in the misty mountains? Will Xi Ning be able to find the person she is looking for?
