Chapter Ninety-Seven: One Light and One Dark
Ning Xuanli was unhappy, why was he in a hurry to leave, he was ready to get up and raise his hand to hold the person in his arms, thinking about grinding his ears and temples, but he found that someone had come in, so he quickly withdrew his hand that had nowhere to put it, and then pretended to cough and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"There's a girl at the door, who says it's your old acquaintance and wants to see you."
"Who do you say?"
"I didn't say it, the clothes were tattered, and they were unkempt, and the little ones thought they were beggars from somewhere at first."
The current Liuxiang is indeed like a female beggar, there is a dead grass from the broken temple last night in her messy hair, and the spirit of the whole person is not very good, some in a trance, the moment she saw Ning Xuanli, all those grievances came out almost all at once, she was aggrieved, standing there and not daring to come in.
"Liuxiang?"
Ning Xuanli was shocked, this incense came to the General's Mansion, was it decided that the General's Mansion would not send her to the emperor?
He knew that after such a fuss in the morning, this Liuxiang had become a wanted criminal, and he thought that Liuxiang would follow the prince like this, but he underestimated Liuxiang's dislike for the son, and now it is not just disgust, Liuxiang hates the son of the world so much that he wants to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Liuxiang would rather be alone and drift away for a lifetime, and it is estimated that she will not follow the prince to be the so-called princess.
"Brother Xuanli."
The tears she had been holding back flowed when she heard this man call her name.
"Why are you here? I heard that something happened to your Prime Minister's Mansion, what's going on? ”
At the mention of this, Liuxiang was even more sad, knelt down towards Ning Xuanli, and begged: "Brother Xuanli, I beg you, you save my father and them, I know that my father broke the law, but you let General Ning beg the emperor, let the emperor be merciful, and bypass the life of my father and his old man." ”
Ning Xuanli's face flashed with embarrassment, first helped Liuxiang up, and comforted: "Don't worry, the emperor will not be in a hurry to deal with your family in the next year, I'll help you find out the situation first, do you think this is feasible?" ”
Liuxiang's face flashed with joy, there are so many officials, only she came in at the door of the general's mansion, and she asked for someone, she couldn't help but feel more hope in her heart, and she was ready to salute again and wanted to thank Ning Xuanli.
At this time, how did she know that Ning Xuanli was the catalyst for the defeat of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ning Zimo in the room found Xiao Qi, and saw that she was about to muster up the courage to kneel down on the red-hot Luo Tie in front of her, Xiao Ba was anxious on the side, and said again and again: "Xiao Qi, don't, I'll beg the master again." ”
Why didn't Ning Zimo know that there was such a place in his brother's courtyard that could almost be called a prison cell, and all kinds of torture tools were no less than the prison of the criminal department.
Fortunately, Ning Zimo took a closer look, and found no mottled blood stains on these torture instruments, all of them were still clean, Ning Zimo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and helped the person up before Xiao Qi knelt down.
"Miss Chang?"
Xiao Qifang didn't notice that Ning Zimo walked behind her, and it wasn't until she pulled herself aside that she noticed,
"You don't need to kneel, your master said that your merits and demerits are worth it."
Xiao Ba hurriedly pulled Xiao Qi over, and said again and again: "I have said that the master listens to Miss Yan's words, look, you don't have to be punished now, how good." ”
Xiao Qi's face was cold, and she didn't talk much, but Ning Zimo saw the shadow of her brother in her.
"You go down and rest for a while, when you wake up, come to my Huating Garden, Miss Ben has something to ask you."
Although Xiao Qi didn't say much, he glanced at Ning Zimo gratefully at this moment, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Miss Yan." ”
In fact, everyone knows that although the duty of the secret guard is to listen to the master's orders, if he really kneels, it will take less than a moment, and this Xiao Qi's knee will be abolished.
Ning Zimo left, Xiao Bacai and Xiao Qi whispered: "I'll tell you first, you don't know if you're not in the palace, the master listens to Miss Yan for everything, but the identity of the master, Miss Yan doesn't know, if Miss Yan asks later, it's about this aspect, you can't say it, you know?" ”
Xiao Qi nodded and said coldly, "Got it." ”
"Look at you, talk to you, you're like an ice cube. Let's go, go down and rest first. ”
After Ning Zimo had dinner, he didn't wait long, Xiao Qi came, and stood outside the door with a somewhat restrained expression.
"Come in, why did you wake up so soon?"
"Miss Yan has something to ask, Xiao Qi doesn't dare to delay for a long time."
Ning Zimo deliberately broke away from Ning Xuanli, and the jade slave received Ning Zimo's eyes, and immediately ran over to close the door, and then stayed at the door and didn't leave.
In this battle, as a secret guard, he sensitively smelled the conspiracy in the air, his eyes quickly swept around, Ning Zimo had nothing to say about their occupational diseases, and asked interestingly while plucking the spices in the incense burner: "Xiao Qi, what is your original name?" ”
"Xiao Qi doesn't have a name, Xiao Qi is the name of his subordinates."
Ning Zimo actually knew that the nine secret guards who had been with his brother since he was a child originally had their own names, but they were later given a mission, that is, to protect Ning Xuanli, and since then, the nine of them have only had code names.
"I asked my brother for you just now, are you willing to follow me?"
Xiao Qi's face didn't change, but she knew that the master must want to let herself protect this Miss Yan, so she had nothing to hesitate, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "I have to be rescued by Miss Yan at noon, and it is Xiao Qi's supreme honor to protect Miss Yan all her life."
"I don't have so many dangerous tasks for you to do, you will be called Yujin in the future, just like Yunu, one of you is in the light and the other is in the dark, okay?"
"Yes, Yujin thanks the master for the name."
Xiao Qi said that it was false not to be moved, because in her real name, there was a brocade word embedded, if Miss Yan happened to meet, she didn't believe it, but her real name couldn't be said, after so many years, she had to forget her name.
But as a secret guard, he has always been cold, and he doesn't have many words like Xiao Ba Xiaojiu, and after getting up, he stood quietly beside Ning Zimo and waited for orders.
"Yunu, come in."
The jade slave had been guarding outside the door, and when she heard Ning Zimo calling her, she came in quickly, Xiao Qi saw the jade slave at such a close distance for the first time, and a weak gaze flashed in her eyes.
As if he didn't care about anything, the jade slave stood by Ning Zimo's side.
"Go and clean up the room next door to you and give it to Yujin."
"Yes, the slave knows, but, Miss Yan, you have been preparing spices in the room all afternoon in the afternoon, and you don't know that at noon, an uninvited guest came to the General's Mansion."
"For the New Year, who is so non-stop running into the General's Mansion."
The spices in Ning Zimo's hands were almost ready, and he hurriedly wrapped them in fiber paper, put them on Yujin's hand and said: "This is to rot, my brother told me that you should have a lot of scars on your body for so many years, soak it with this medicine powder, within three days, those scars that can't fade will fade a lot, and then let Yunu give you an ointment, after you apply it, your skin can be smooth as new." ”
In fact, Yujin himself didn't care about the scars, whip wounds, knife wounds, large and small left by his body when he was doing tasks, but when he entered this fragrant room, he felt that he was also a little girl less than twenty, Yujin was actually not very old, and he was only nineteen this year.
"Yes."
She took the medicine powder, and retreated, and when the jade slave saw that the person was gone, she came to Ning Zimo's ear: "It's Liuxiang who came over." ”
Ning Zimo's brows furrowed, and his voice suddenly raised a lot: "Brother is crazy, Liuxiang is now the daughter of a criminal minister, if this is to harbor private criminals, don't think about the general's mansion, if the emperor also suspects that the general's mansion is colluding with Yanbei, then what should I do?" ”
In his previous life, it was because the emperor suspected that the General's Mansion had colluded with Yanbei, and the emperor was so jealous that he made a strong move against the General's Mansion first.
But in fact, she didn't know that in her last life, Gong Xuanzheng had already held the tiger talisman of the Imperial Forest Army, and at the same time forced the palace to hold the jade seal of the country, and passed the holy decree to the general's mansion, where was the only person who died tragically in the previous life, Ning Zimo, Ning Xuanli, Ning Guodong, and the emperor who is now high on the throne, all died.
Thinking of the things in his previous life, Ning Zimo couldn't sit still, and said again and again: "No, no, no, I have to let my brother send Liuxiang away, the general's mansion itself is only led by a gossamer, it's not reliable, and this will lead the wolf into the room by himself." ”
Ning Zimo was about to go out as he spoke, but he didn't see the person who was about to enter the door in a panic, and suddenly hit his strong chest.
"Are you in such a hurry to throw yourself into your arms?"
Ning Xuan's words were very frivolous, and when Yu Nu saw the two of them colliding together, he subconsciously looked at Ning Zimo's stomach, and was relieved to see that the person was safe and sound, and then retreated.
"Brother, I heard that this afternoon, you placed Liuxiang in your yard?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Brother, what the hell do you think? I can't keep the incense, now the people in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion are all criminal ministers, let's not talk about keeping a distance, you also settled people, isn't this leading the water of disaster to the General's Mansion? ”
She was anxious, and the speed of her speech naturally became much faster, but the man smiled indifferently, hugged her in his arms, and said with relief: "Don't be afraid, Liuxiang will not bring us any disaster, and it is impossible for the emperor to suspect the general's mansion." ”
She believed him inexplicably, but she was still not at ease in her heart, and asked suspiciously: "You can't be thinking about the emperor's decree to marry you and Liuxiang, are you still thinking about Liuxiang?" ”
"Really, I'm just thinking, take care of Liuxiang for the prince, the usefulness of the prince is much greater than that of the fragrance, raise her, and sell it to the prince a favor in the future."
In fact, Ning Zimo didn't want Liuxiang to do that much, but he always felt that Liuxiang was like a time bomb now, if the officials of the court knew that this Liuxiang was taken in by the General's Mansion and spread to the emperor's ears, it was inevitable that the emperor would suspect the General's Mansion.
In her life, she will not allow anyone to become a threat to the General's Mansion.
"In fact, we knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion had run out of gas, so we tied up Liuxiang and went all the way to the border city, but this Liuxiang is also a heavy feeling, I thought she would follow the prince and be the princess of Yanbei as a beautiful princess, but I never thought that she would come back."
There was some sigh in Ning Xuanli's tone, and Ning Zimo also nodded in approval: "She is a good girl, if it weren't for the emperor who had to marry her to you, I wouldn't have attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion in the first place." ”
The two brothers and sisters snuggled up and talked together, and it was getting dark outside, seeing that the day had passed again, but the courtyards of the General's Mansion were not peaceful.
