"Come and see!" A soldier shouted outside the door, and several people hurried out again, only to find the location of the back door of the cloth village, all the cloth and rouge gouache bought today were thrown in the corner and no one cared, and the horse was gone!

"Could it be that someone has kidnapped the county lord?" Several people hurriedly ran back to the cloth village, grabbed the boss and asked, "Where did the woman who came in to buy cloth go?" ”

The boss was confused: "The villain is patronized by women, which one are you talking about?" ”

"It's just wearing a cyan cloak, and it's about half an hour to advance!"

"Oh, it's her!" The boss suddenly realized: "That girl just borrowed it!" When she came in, she asked where the back door was, and she ...... I went out the back door! ”

Hearing this, several soldiers looked at each other.

*****

After hearing the exact news in the Yan army camp, Wei Nong knew that something was wrong, and she was afraid that Deputy General Zuo would stop her from leaving, so she came up with this plan to escape from Youzhou Mansion. In fact, she has the confidence to negotiate with Ming Chenyuan, but she doesn't have the confidence to face this group of soldiers, maybe each of them has developed new ambitions and may hold her hostage at any time to do something.

This is the first time that Weinong has felt the true meaning of a certain sentence - "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and it will not be without a handsome for a day". After Nie Xingji left, what kind of situation Yan Guo would go, she couldn't imagine it at all, and she didn't dare to imagine it.

If Ming Chenyuan can suppress the three armies, it is a blessing in misfortune, but he is afraid that as time goes by, no one will be convinced......

Thinking like this, she couldn't wait to go to Momen to verify Nie Xingji's life and death, so she drove her horse to Momen according to the mark left by Ji Fengzhi. When she walked to the ferry port closest to the south of Youzhou, she hesitated, and she found herself facing a difficult problem: should she first go to Momen to investigate Nie Xingji's life and death? Or go back to Yan Kingdom first to see the situation?

If she wants to get to Momen, she must always go by land, and she may have to face the double pursuit of King Ning and Deputy General Zuo;

If she wanted to return to Yan Kingdom, the river to the south had thawed, and she could choose to take the waterway, so that she could avoid encountering Ming Chenyuan head-on.

Going to Momen, with the protection of the master, is relatively safe, but the road is too dangerous; Back to Yanguo, the situation is unknown and dangerous, but the road is relatively safe.

Emotions told her that she should go to Momen, because she wanted to know Nie Xingji's life and death too much!

And reason told her that she should go back to Yan Kingdom, and now the situation in Yan Kingdom is the top priority! Because as long as Nie Xingji is not dead, and Momen has Master Ji Fengzhi here, he will not have to worry about his life.

"Remember, don't go to your master, or you'll hurt him and yourself." Suddenly, Yuan Che's words suddenly sounded in her ears, reminding her in time! Right! She can't go to Momen, in case Nie Xingji is still alive, if she goes, she will lead King Ning's gaze over! She should go south and return home!

Thinking like this, Wei Nong immediately decided to take the waterway to Jiang Guo.

Facts proved that this decision was right, not only did she not meet King Ning's men and horses along the way, but even Deputy General Zuo did not send anyone to chase her, she entered the territory of Jiang Kingdom safely and steadily, and took the land route instead.

On the last day of the first lunar month, Wei Nong arrived at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, although she kept telling herself in her heart that Nie Xingji was very likely not dead, but she was also mentally prepared to face this cruel fact. After all, it was she who saw his body with her own eyes, and it was she who buried him at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.

God clearly gave a little bit of hope, and that hope was close at hand, but for various reasons, he could not grasp it immediately, but he had to continue to move forward, getting farther and farther away from that hope. This kind of torment is not something that everyone can bear.

She will definitely go to Momen, and she must also verify Nie Xingji's life and death, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up. But not now.

Thinking like this, Wei Nong still decided to go to the foot of Cangshan Mountain to see Nie Xingji's mausoleum.

King Jiang was very obedient and sent many soldiers to guard the mausoleum, because this was only a mausoleum with a temporary coffin, so King Jiang did not order a strict ban on entering, and opposed the opening of the people of Yan and Jiang to come to worship. Therefore, the soldiers did not have any difficulty with Wei Nong, and after checking the customs clearance documents, they directly released her. But what Wei Nong didn't expect was that there were many flowers and offerings placed in front of the tomb, these sacrifices were not placed by King Jiang's order at first glance, those flowers were more like they were picked from the roadside, and some of them had not even withered, so it can be seen that people have been coming to worship in the first month.

Wei Nong originally brewed a lot of emotions, but seeing this scene, she was full of relief. The man who was thirsty for killing at the beginning has indeed changed, at least in the past few years when he was the regent of Yan Kingdom, he was still loved by the people.

The tombstone that caressed Nie Xing's traces slightly, his fingertips were dusty, and he was full of emotion when he thought of each other's past. She didn't know how long she sat by the tombstone, and when she finally calmed down and was about to get up to leave, she found that the soles of her own shoes were very wet! To be exact, the soil around the tombstone is very wet!

This is an extremely strange phenomenon, Cangshan is located in the northernmost part of Jiang country, bordering Ningguo Youzhou, it should be dry in winter, why is the soil so wet? Wei Nong couldn't help but ask the soldiers guarding the tomb: "Has it rained in Cangshan recently?" ”

The soldiers shook their heads: "The New Year has been dry. ”

Dry all the time in the New Year? So why is the soil so wet? Could it be......

In an instant, Wei Denong remembered what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival, and at this moment, all the clues seemed to be clear, and what expectations in her heart seemed to be about to break through the ground, forcing her to blurt out: "Quick! Dig up the mausoleum, I want an autopsy! ”

*****

Wei Nong naturally failed to perform an autopsy, and the soldiers did not know her identity and drove her out as a madman. However, Wei Nong strengthened his guess because of this, and decided to rush to Cangyu City to meet King Jiang.

The distance from Cangshan to Cangyu City is not too far, after all, Jiang Guo only occupies one Toad Prefecture, and there are many rivers and mountains in the territory. Wei Nong hurried to Cangyu City, and found the post house where Yan Guo was stationed here, and finally met King Jiang. She also knew that after she showed up in the post house, Ming Chenyuan would definitely find her, but the matter of her request for a certificate was too important, and she couldn't care about it so much!

However, she still retained a trace of sanity, for the sake of prudence, she did not say that Nie Xingji was very likely to survive, but just pretended to be angry and asked King Jiang: "It has been three months since the regent of the country was buried, but I returned to Yan from Ningguo at the end of the month, and went to worship through Cangshan, but I found that the mausoleum had traces of being dug up, I don't know how King Jiang explained?" ”

Seeing that he was slightly angry, King Jiang had no choice but to explain: "Don't be angry, the tomb of the regent has not been dug up, but the mausoleum on Cangshan has been preliminarily built, and the coffin has been moved into the mausoleum through the decision of the eldest princess of your country and the marquis of Zhenguo." ”

Moving the coffin? Wei Nong felt very puzzled: "Since the coffin has been moved, why don't you tell the world?" Many people didn't know at all, and they still worshipped at the original site, and even the soldiers guarding the tomb didn't mention a word! ”

"This matter needs to be done on an auspicious day, and your country is currently ...... It was the Marquis of Zhenguo who said that he would press it for the time being, and then announce it to the world when the domestic situation is stable. King Jiang reluctantly explained: "Moreover, although the main body of the mausoleum has been built now, it is winter, everything is withering, and the garden is very desolate." We are thinking about transplanting flowers and trees, so in general, the cemetery has not yet been completed. ”

This reason sounds barely reasonable, Wei Nong just thinks it's strange, why didn't the eldest princess and Mingchen inform her of such a big thing as Nie Xingji's coffin? Even if she is in King Ning's Palace, she should send someone to spread the word. With the relationship between King Ning and Nie Xingji, he will not hide it from himself.

Wei Nong was skeptical, and suddenly remembered the incident that Deputy General Zuo had said, and she could verify one thing, so she also asked bluntly: "When I was in Youzhou, I heard that King Ning bought medicinal materials from you?" ”

Jiang Wang did not hide it and confirmed: "King Ning is not only buying this year, this is already the sixth year. ”

"What kind of medicinal herb do you have to buy from Jiang Guo? And ......" stopped talking and didn't go on.

Jiang Wang had already understood what she meant, and sighed helplessly: "I won't tell you, this is the cooperation set by Jiang Ning in the past, and it has continued to this day. I also thought about giving up this business, but our Jiang country is small and has no arable land, so we all rely on these rare herbs and insects on the mountains in exchange for food. The conditions given by King Ning are too tempting, even if the two countries no longer maintain friendship, we have to continue this cooperation. ”

Having said that, it was true, but Wei Nong always felt that something was wrong: "What kind of medicinal materials did King Ning buy?" Isn't there one in Ningguo? ”

"Some have, some should not have, he buys different things every year, this year's is especially strange, and there are many of them." King Jiang said this, but he refused to go any further, and only asked Wei Nong for guilt: "Please forgive me, when the two countries talked about this business, King Ning asked us to keep it secret, and I can't go into details." ”

Hearing this, Wei Nong still felt that there was something strange about this matter. On the day of the Lantern Festival, she saw a large group of people in Fengzhou, and a few days ago, she saw that Nie Xingji's mausoleum had traces of excavation, even if it was not King Ning who secretly dug up Nie Xingji's coffin, this matter was definitely related to the death of Nie Xingji and Qi Zhan.

Could it be that King Ning also knows the prescription for the secret medicine of fake death? That's why I bought a lot of strange medicinal materials from Jiang Guo this year? This is not impossible, after all, Qi Zhan was born in Momen, and he has been the grandson of the king for so many years, maybe he mentioned this matter to King Ning in the past!

Jiang Wang frowned slightly, and was silent for a long time, thinking that she was dissatisfied with Jiang Guo's sale of medicinal materials to Ning Guo, so she hurriedly curryed favor: "Since the county lord has come to Cangyu City, you might as well stay in the palace for a few days, it just so happens that the army of the Marquis of Zhenguo has arrived in the territory recently, and it will save you from running back and forth." ”

Mingchen is coming? So fast? Wei Nong immediately asked, "When will he arrive?" ”

"I have received a letter of response yesterday, and it is expected to arrive outside Cangyu City the day after tomorrow, but the 100,000 army will not enter the city."

After Nie Xing's coffin move, Wei Nong also changed her mind, and she decided to see Mingchen from afar, at least to make sure that he was of the same mind as herself. Thinking of this, she settled down and replied to King Jiang: "Then please send another letter to the Marquis of Zhenguo, asking him to enter the city on the day of his arrival, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”
