Chapter 318: Secret Search
The sparse rain did not stop, from the beginning of the drizzle, to the downpour.
When people arrive at the post station, even the hat and the clothes can't block the rain, the guards who ride horses and drive the car are watered from top to bottom, and the accompanying palace maids are fine, you can get on the carriage to hide from the rain, and Ning Yunxiao together, until you arrive at the post station, make a good point before and after, and go directly into the room to rest.
However, it is true to enter the guest room, and the rest is fake.
Qingzhu personally went to the kitchen to watch the cook cook in case someone poisoned him.
The ladies went to boil water in case they would take a bath later.
Ning Yunxiao sat down at the table, holding hot tea in his hand.
"How?" "Are those carriages guarded?" she asked. ”
"Yes." Monsoon nodded, he had just gone to see it, the three carriages were all watched by the coachmen, and the guest rooms where those people lived were also rooms where the carriages could be seen as soon as the windows were opened.
"But use it to search the room secretly?" He asked again.
Ning Yunxiao nodded, "I'm incapacitated, and you have to do dangerous things, remember to be very careful, in case it's really as you said, those are Gu worms, it's hard to guarantee that the people behind you don't have Gu worms that have been raised, if you are tricked, you will suffer." ”
"The master doesn't have to worry about the things that are within the apprentice's share." Monsoon bowed his head and withdrew.
Qingzhu came back with the front and back feet of the monsoon, carrying the food box, and opening and closing the door very carefully, for fear that the cool breeze would pour in.
"Niangniang, let's eat." She said, laying out the meals one by one.
Ning Yunxiao was already hungry and wanted to eat with chopsticks.
"You eat too." She said, suddenly felt the belly moved, it is estimated that the baby is turning over, before the change must put down the chopsticks to take a good look, but recently the fetal movement is frequent, not surprising, but feeling the baby's movement, not to mention anything else, full of joy and anticipation.
It is best to wait until the return to the palace in production.
She thought.
On the one hand, Qingzhu also sat down to eat, and halfway through the meal, the sky exploded and thunder rolled.
Ning Yunxiao's hand shook.
"It is estimated that it will be the next night, the road will be muddy, and the trip will be delayed a lot." She said.
Qingzhu said, "Niangniang is relieved, she is not in a hurry at this time, I believe that the Emperor of the Blue Sun Kingdom has received a secret letter from the emperor, agreeing to sign a letter of alliance and informing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of a truce." ”
Ning Yunxiao nodded, "Although I know, I'm still worried about the local accident." ”
Boom –
Outside, another explosion thundered out.
"Eat quickly, and get some rest early." Ning Yunxiao said and took a sip of tea.
……
"Master!" After a while, the monsoon returned, but compared to the calm when he left, his face was obviously a little more surprised, and there was a hint of eagerness.
Ning Yunxiao straightened his back and frowned and asked, "How?!" ”
Ji Feng gave a salute and said, "The apprentice stole into the guest room where the merchant lived, and found nothing, but when he left, the vendor came back and was seen by the apprentice, and it turned out to be the person who was called the 'insect master' by the close minister of the prince Bai Chenlin. ”
"Huh?" Ning Yunxiao frowned, his tone raised, obviously puzzled.
"What did you say?" Qingzhu was completely surprised.
Ning Yunxiao clarified his suspicions, "There are two points that need to be paid attention to, first, Bai Chenlin has been away from Tianyuan Country for a long time, how can the insect master still be here, and as Bai Chenlin's close minister, he was with Bai Chenlin at that time, and I believe that there is a record on the exit ultimatum, so it is a forgery of household registration and returned to Tianyuan Kingdom, there must be something to hide, second, are those insects Gu worms, if so, what are they used for." ”
She groaned for a moment and said, "Although Bai Chenlin was open-minded when he left, and he didn't hold a grudge, this doesn't mean that he is a frank person and has a deep friendship with us, I now suspect that he has other plans, maybe it has something to do with the attack on the Blue Moon Country, maybe it has nothing to do with it, in short, I can't let him go along with his mind." ”
"Niangniang, the slave doesn't understand, what will he plot?" Qingzhu asked, her impression of Bai Chenlin was still very good, and it was difficult to imagine him as a sinister villain.
"Where would I know, it's never wrong to take precautions." Ning Yunxiao said, "Send people to closely monitor the insect master and his party, especially those insects. ”
She narrowed her eyes, "If my guess is correct, if these insects are really Gu worms, then the itinerary of the insect master and his party is probably the same as ours, going to the Blue Moon Country." ”
As these words came out, the atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment.
Qingzhu's head didn't turn fast enough, but Monsoon knew it.
"Master, do you have to discuss with Princess Linglong first?" He asked.
Ning Yunxiao shook her head, "Everything is just speculation, if there is no evidence, don't tell her, let her worry about this matter." ”
Ji Feng asked again, "Then if everything is as the master guessed, and the insect master and his party really want to go to the Blue Moon Country, what should they do?" ”
"If that's the case...... Ning Yunxiao slowed down his voice and said coldly, "Kill!" ”
In the guest room, the insect master was grinding a letter to Bai Chenlin, when there was a knock on the door outside, and then the little boy pushed the door in.
"Insect Master, Ji Ying found it himself and brought a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He said, handing the letter out.
The insect master immediately took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and his face changed instantly.
The little boy asked tentatively, "Insect Master, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" Your face is not very good. ”
The insect master turned his back on his hand, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Princess Linglong took the Nineteenth Prince to Tianyuan Country to ask for help, Ning Yunxiao wanted to let our country sign an alliance with the Blue Moon Country to cease war, and the Blue Moon Country took out the method of gold and silver land compensation, and at present, the people are already on the way to the Blue Moon Country with Princess Linglong." ”
When the words fell, he suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that the group of people who arrived at the post station with us today are Ning Yunxiao and Princess Linglong?" ”
The little boy panicked when he heard this, "Then aren't we discovered?" What to do? ”
"Quick, secretly go and see if there are guards secretly watching the carriage where the Gu worms are placed!" The insect master said immediately.
"Yes!" The child was ordered, and immediately went out of the guest room to check.
The insect master was anxious in the room, pacing incessantly.
Immediately, the little boy ran back.
"How?" The insect master asked.
"There are no guards watching, except for our people, only two juniors are feeding the horses."
The insect master breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that he has not been discovered yet, so he ordered to go down, and as soon as the rain stopped, he would go on the road." He said.
In another room, a guard disguised as Xiao Er stepped back.
"Master, it seems that we have aroused their suspicion as well, how should we follow them when we go on the road tomorrow?" Ji Feng said, looking embarrassed.
"No tracking." Ning Yunxiao said, smiling, "We just need to set off in a grand manner." ”
"This ......" this time the monsoon did not react.
"I ask you, where are we going?"
"Blue Moon Country."
"Do we need to hide our identities?"
Ji Feng, who asked this, was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "The people who need to hide their identities are them, even if we follow all the way, it is justified because the destination is the Blue Moon Country, unless they change lanes, in this case, they can directly send someone to follow them." ”
Ning Yunxiao nodded, "So go back and rest now, and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
The monsoon should be.
"Retire in vain." He said, exiting the room.
Blue Moon Country, Beijing, Imperial Palace, Chengde Palace.
The guards outside the hall guarded with knives, and the only shouting inside was heard.
"Bai Chenlin, you sinister villain, you don't believe in your words!" The emperor was so angry that his soldiers tied him up and couldn't move.
"This palace has always done what it says, isn't the emperor worry-free, what's the hurry." Bai Chenlin raised his chin, and he said, "Put people in prison and take care of them." ”
The soldiers should have taken the emperor out of the palace at once.
When no one was gone, the military advisor said that he objected, "His Royal Highness the Prince, imprisoning the Emperor of the Blue Moon Country may cause dissatisfaction among the generals in the palace." ”
"What can you do if you are dissatisfied, the army will arrive later, and thousands of palace guards will be like mayflies shaking trees." Bai Chenlin said, and immediately asked, "How long will it take for the insect master to arrive?" ”
"As little as a month, as much as two months." The military advisor said, his face worried, "I'm afraid that I will meet Shen Bing, the empress of Tianyuan Kingdom, and leak the plan." ”
Bai Chenlin shook his head, "No, the strategy of this hall is not so easy to guess." ”
He said, "If you send someone to pick up the insect master, you are afraid that something will happen on the road." ”
The military advisor should be, "What else does Your Highness command?" ”
Bai Chenlin held the sword on his waist.
"Next, I will bother the military division and the main hall to go to the Qinzheng Hall to see the map of this Blue Moon Country, which one should be owned by my Blue Sun Country." He said, in high spirits.
The military advisor smiled again.
At the post station, the rain never stopped, and the night gradually fell, and there was nothing to say all night.
The next morning, the rain showed signs of stopping.
After washing, after breakfast, the monsoon came to report to the insect master and his party before they hurried on the road, Ning Yunxiao immediately walked out of the post station, and the guards over there drove the carriage over, and she was about to get into the carriage, when she caught a glimpse of Princess Linglong coming over with the nineteenth prince, her face was worried.
"Queen Mother Jin An!" The two of them gave a salute, and Princess Linglong said, "Linglong's carriage broke down yesterday, I don't know if I can travel with the queen today." ”
Ning Yunxiao nodded.
"Why not." She said, stepping on a stool to get into the car, in which the green bamboo had already changed into a blanket, and a low table was placed on the side of the seat, with hot tea and snacks.
A few people sat down in the carriage, and the guards drove the carriage away.
Ning Yunxiao asked slowly, "What is Princess Linglong worried about?" ”
Hearing her ask, Princess Linglong immediately clarified, "Niangniang doesn't know, when she left the palace, Linglong had already written to her father about the method that Niangniang came up with, but her father has not replied to the letter, and a few days ago she also wrote a letter asking for news, but she has never received a reply, Linglong is worried in her heart, could it be that Bai Chenlin has broken through the capital, invaded the palace, and her father is in danger, so she did not reply." ”
"Is that so?" Ning Yunxiao pursed his lips, "Is it possible that the Blue Moon Emperor didn't approve of this method, so he didn't reply?" ”
"This ......" Princess Linglong was stunned, "If the father does not agree with the proposal, he will indeed ignore it, but at the moment this method is the best, and the father should not object." ”
Ning Yunxiao has no choice, she is not a god, she can calculate the situation of the Blue Moon Country.
"Now that the situation is uncertain, it's useless for us to guess anything, it is the best policy to hurry up and reach the Blue Moon Country as soon as possible." She said, "Now it's better to discuss whether those counties can be carved out to the Blue Sun Kingdom, and try to minimize the loss." ”
"Then there is Queen Lao." Princess Linglong nodded again and again, and instructed the accompanying guards outside, "Bring the diagram." ”
The guards responded and quickly brought the picture over.
Qingzhu took the teacup snack away, Ning Yunxiao spread out the map on the low table, since she penetrated to ancient times, she knew that she was actually a map blind, before she and Li Yiyan looked at the map of Tianyuan Kingdom, and felt that it was the same everywhere, now looking at this, if she didn't know that this was the map of Blue Moon Kingdom, she thought that this shop was from Tianyuan Kingdom.
After a few glances at the map, she could tell which side was north and which side was east, so she didn't speak first, waiting for Princess Linglong to point out the border between the Blue Moon Country and the Blue Sun Country, and then talk about the situation in each county, so that she could analyze it.
