When Nie Xingji arrived in Jiang Kingdom, Yuan Che had already sent the box of books to King Ning's Palace.

King Ning got the news in advance, and before Yuan Che returned to China, he passed all the skilled craftsmen into the palace to stand by, and even found a master who was good at stealing chickens and dogs in the rivers and lakes. But none of these people could open the box.

The partial birth of King Ning is not allowed to use brute force, lest the chopping and chopping will damage the lone book in the box, which is really embarrassing.

In the end, Yuan Che persuaded anxiously: "Or...... Go and try Yunchen? ”

Qi Zhan objected: "Yunchen is too shrewd, once he opens the box, we can't guard against it at all, maybe he will steal the books." ”

Yuan Che glanced at Qi Zhan: "The boxes are all offered by their sisters and brothers, if you want to stop it, can you stop it?" Since he went to Peacock Mountain, Yuan Che no longer wanted to be false with him, and he didn't even want to do any work on face, so he tore his face directly.

Qi Zhan was much more steady, and said politely: "Brother Che is right. But it's better to send someone to watch him. ”

Yuan Che sneered: "This box doesn't belong to you, and it wasn't found by you, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" ”

"That's it!" King Ning was almost disturbed by these two grandsons, and frowned and said angrily: "Do you all deserve to die alone?" So I don't know how to converge! ”

Qi Zhan immediately knelt down to plead guilty, Yuan Che's injuries had not healed, so he could only bow his head and say in unison with Qi Zhan: "Grandson doesn't dare." ”

King Ning was naturally angry that Qi Zhan secretly killed him, but he was even more angry. Thinking that the murderer of Zhu Xiang was unknown, and the Dusk clan took advantage of the chaos to escape at a critical moment, and the reason for all this was because Yuan Che secretly went to find a collection of books from him!

The more King Ning thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and pointed at Yuan Che and said, "This time, you found the lone book of the previous dynasty, and you will be counted as a meritorious person." You go back and pack up, and leave Beijing and return to Fengyi within seven days! ”

"Grandfather Wang!" Yuan Che couldn't accept it, and immediately said indignantly: "Grandson almost lost his life Jiang Guo for these lonely books!" Now I can't lie down, I can't kneel, I almost like a wasted person! You're doing this in a biased way! ”

"And what are you going to do?" King Ning's eyes were sharp.

Yuan Che lowered his head and made his mind clear: "The reason why my grandson wants to find these books is just to offer advice to you. I heard that these unique books from the previous dynasty are extremely precious, and my grandson also wants to open his eyes! ”

He was naturally angry, he worked hard to find a collection of books, and he was about to return to Fengyi before he could take a look. And Qi Zhan just occupies the title of the grandson of the king, and he can see the content of the lone book without any strength. How unwilling he was!

King Ning thought about it, with the temperament of Yuan Che's father and son, it was indeed easy to hold a grudge against this. He was bent on letting his sons and grandchildren coexist peacefully, but he couldn't add resentment to their hearts anymore.

Thinking of this, King Ning changed his words and said, "If you think about it carefully, you didn't see the key on the way to find the box?" Or what clue? ”

Yuan Che has been thinking about it for a long time these days, shook his head and said: "Sun Er is still the same sentence, the Yunchen sisters and brothers must know how to open this box!" ”

When King Ning heard this, he thought carefully for a moment before he said, "Okay, let him enter the palace." ”

*****

Although Yunchen is said to be a re-emergent, after all, there have been ups and downs, and it is not as beautiful as before. At the same time, his identity as a descendant of the Chu royal family was exposed, and King Ning was wary of him, so he rarely appeared in public after his return, and if there was a banquet, most of them were absent due to illness.

Since Yuan Che came back with five boxes, he had been waiting for King Ning to summon him, so he was not too surprised, and calmly entered the palace.

There were only three people in the palace, the ancestors and grandsons of King Ning, and the guards all retreated and guarded the door. King Ning bluntly explained his intentions, pointed to the five boxes and said, "Yun Qing knows how to open the box?" ”

Yunchen lowered his eyes and looked at the box in the hall, only glanced at it, and replied: "Weichen only knows that the source of the Maoyan River hides the lone book of the previous dynasty, but he doesn't know the specific hiding place, let alone how to hide the law. ”

At this point, Yuan Che also echoed: "That's true, it took a lot of Zhou Zhang to find a place for my grandson, and unfortunately he was bitten by a water monster." ”

Hearing this, King Ning stepped down from the Danqi, stood in front of the five boxes, and smiled at Yun Chen: "Yun Qing's talent has passed through heaven and earth, and this box is owned by Jiang Guo, you will definitely be able to find a way to open the box, right?" ”

Yunchen's face remained unchanged: "I'm afraid I have to ask Queen Jiang about this matter, but it's a pity that she is trapped in Cangyu City now......"

The meaning of his words was obvious, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with King Ning. In fact, although the Ning army quelled the civil strife, it did not help Queen Jiang to regain a foothold, but wanted to take advantage of the danger to annex Jiang. Now that Jiang has the Ning army in front of the country and the Yan army in the back, the belly and back are under the enemy, and Queen Jiang's situation is not as good as before!

However, King Ning pretended not to understand: "Yun Qing's words are really interesting, Gu has fulfilled his promise, helped Queen Jiang to calm down the civil strife, and beheaded the prince's brother Jiang He." The rest of this thing is not something that Lone can manage, Lone is an outsider after all, so he can't do everything for Queen Jiang, right? ”

Yunchen sneered in his heart, and made up his mind not to ask about the book collection anymore, so he said: "Wechen has already told the place of the book collection according to the agreement, as for other things, please forgive Weichen for being incompetent." ”

King Ning still smiled: "Yun Qing didn't even look at it, so he knew that he couldn't open it?" It's too hasty. ”

Yunchen stepped forward as he said, carefully inspected the five boxes, and finally, his eyes fell on the lock. He stroked the hair-thin keyhole with his fingertips, and his deep eyes rippled slightly.

King Ning's eyes were so keen, he naturally caught his strangeness, and even Qi Zhan and Yuan Che could see it. King Ning was silent for a moment and sighed: "I heard that the situation in Jiang Guo is not very good, and the Yan army has also been dispatched. ”

Yunchen deliberately replied: "The Yan army is going to meet the abolished Hou Du Clan, and he doesn't have the heart to use soldiers. ”

"Oh? It seems that Yun Qing's news is not very well-informed. King Ning sighed with a smile: "According to the report of the spies, Nie Xingji, the regent of Yan Kingdom, has already set off for Jiang Kingdom, and he also brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to Jiang. 20,000 people, is it just to pick up a waste queen? ”

Yunchen frowned. What he was most hesitant about now was whether he should send troops to King Ning for help. If he begged, King Ning's wolf ambition would definitely take the opportunity to capture Jiang Guo, and he just gave him a fair and honest reason to attack. But if you don't ask for help, will you watch Jiang Guo repeat the mistakes of Chu State? Could it be that he watched Sister Wang being trapped?

The latest news handed in by Liuli said that there were two pieces of the mountain and river defense map, one was transported back with Zhu Xiang's coffin, and the other was hidden in the local area. But he had already sent someone to see Zhu Xiang's coffin, and there was no half of it at all! Could it be that Yuan Che took the lead? Or was there some accident on the way, and the figure was taken away by King Ning's people?

"Yun Qing, Lone can promise you that Queen Jiang will not die." King Ning finally began to talk about the conditions: "If you have a need, Gu can also send someone to negotiate with Yan Guo, take your younger brother to Ning Guo, and let the three of you sisters and brothers reunite, how about it?" ”

King Ning did not promise not to attack Jiang. Of course, Yunchen also understood that it was impossible for him to make this guarantee. And no matter whether Jiang Guo eventually falls into the hands of the Yan army or is annexed by Ning Guo, Queen Jiang will become the finger of Wanfu, and the only way out is to come to Ning State......

Oh, yes! How pitiful their Chu royal family is, they have nowhere to go and no home, and they want to be reduced to the point of relying on people's snorts, and they have repeatedly retreated!

However, there was no other choice. If they give up this last piece of driftwood, they will sink forever in the quagmire of troubled times, and there will be no place to stand!

Yunchen didn't respond for a long time, so long that even King Ning, who had always been calm, felt impatient, so he emphasized in a more and more serious voice: "Lone can also promise you, if you win the Yan Kingdom one day, you will definitely make your wishes come true, and you will slash the enemy." ”

Yunchen's face was calm, so calm that no one could guess what was going on in his heart. However, there is nowhere to hide his inner struggles and pains, and there is nowhere to vent them.

Loss of family and country, loss of family and friends, loss of love, loss of dignity...... If this was fate's test for him, he would have to accept it.

Slowly, again, he stroked the hair-thin keyhole, as if he was nostalgic for something, and rubbed it for a long time.

Seeing this, King Ning was confused, and couldn't help asking, "Yun Qing has thought about it?" ”

"Thanks to the king's love, Weichen is grateful." Finally, Yunchen straightened up and said respectfully: "As for how to open the box, Weichen has no clue now. If you can trust Wechen, let Wechen take us back and study it in a box. ”

This is a promise. King Ning asked, half-disappointed and half-hopeful, "Are you sure?" How long does it take to open this box? ”

Yunchen groaned slightly: "Within a month, Weichen will definitely give the king a satisfactory explanation." ”

"Okay." King Ning finally felt a little happier, and casually pointed at Qi Zhan: "You sent someone to send the box to Yunqing's mansion." ”

Qi Zhan was about to say yes, but he heard Yunchen say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to ask the prince, I don't know if it is convenient to ask him to come over to the house?" ”

Yunchen and Wei Houfu got close, and when he was in trouble, it was Yuan Che who personally came to intercede, even if King Ning now guessed that Yuan Che interceded for the purpose of collecting books, but he still cared about the relationship between the two and didn't want them to intersect again.

Seeing this, Yuan Che also asked, "What is the matter with Lord Yun looking for me?" ”

Yunchen didn't hide it, and replied truthfully: "Weichen's sister, Yunxiao, went to find the collection of books with you last year, but she has not returned so far. Wechen wanted to ask about the situation. ”

Yuan Che was surprised: "Hasn't she come back yet?" But in February of this year, she went down the mountain! ”

Yunchen's gaze suddenly tightened: "You mean that she left the team ahead of schedule?" ”

Yuan Che wanted to speak again and again, and finally snorted coldly: "Yes, can't you guess the reason why she left the team early?" If it weren't for Wei Nong's intercession for her, she wouldn't have been able to go down the mountain. ”

King Ning also heard about the disappearance of Yunchen's sister-in-law Yun Xiao, but he didn't care much about it. Seeing the two chattering about grievances and grievances here, he was annoyed, so he waved his hand: "This kind of thing, you can talk about it in private!" ”

After that, he pointed at Yuan Che again: "I'll leave the matter of the box to you!" ”

"Yes." Yuan Che respectfully received the order.

From beginning to end, Qi Zhan never made a single remark, and watched coldly.
