Two months ago in the Battle of Changzhou

"Liang Rui, you do me a favor." "Hehe... Just once. "Otherwise..."Ning Qiwei leaned back in the chair behind the bookcase, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning. Oh! Wrong! Wrong! Ning Qiwei stood up and pounded the bookcase irritably. Rajah! Rajah! There was a knock on the door and Liang Rui's voice outside the study. It's coming, it's coming! You wait a minute. Ning Qiwei happily ran to the door of the study.

"Liang Rui, you're so fast! I'm not ready yet. Ning Qiwei said with a smile. Lord, what are you going to prepare? Liang Rui was obviously frightened by Ning Qiwei's expression, and he looked at Ning Qiwei in panic. It's okay! Come in! Ning Qiwei warmly welcomed Liang Rui into the study and asked him to sit on the chair behind the bookcase. Lord, this is your place. How dare you sit here? Liang Rui hurriedly stood up.

"Hehe... It does not matter! You imagine yourself as a prince now. Ning Qiwei smiled all over her face. No! No! The lowly office does not have the courage to do so. Liang Rui looked at Ning Qiwei with a smile on his face in confusion, waved his hand and said. Where did so much nonsense come from, I asked you to sit, and you sit. Ning Qiwei was still smiling, at this time it was already "dark clouds", and there was a possibility of "thundershowers". Liang Rui looked at Ning Qiwei's face, and couldn't help but be shocked, sitting on the chair without moving.

"Hehe... Liang Rui, I would like to discuss a small matter with you. Ning Qiwei bypassed the bookcase, stood opposite Liang Rui on the side of the bookcase with her hands behind her back, and had a smile on her face. Hehe... Lord, if there is anything, you can say it directly. Liang Rui looked at Ning Qiwei's expression, and suddenly felt a gust of "yin wind" on his back, and he couldn't help but shiver. "Hehe... Actually, it's not too big. Ning Qiwei straightened up and said with a grin.

"Hehe... Lord, what do you say? You have nothing to do to be courteous, and you are a bit lowly..."Liang Rui panicked. "What do you think is a little bit of a treat, besides, what do you think... Make it clear! "Ning Qiwei has an aggressive posture." No, no, the lowly said the wrong thing. Liang Rui hurriedly stood up and explained. Is it? Did I get you to stand up? Sit down! Ning Qiwei looked unforgiving.

"Okay, okay, I'll sit down." Liang Rui hurriedly sat back in his chair. "Well, well, to offset the mistake you made by saying the wrong thing just now. You have to do me a favor. What do you think? Ning Qiwei walked to Liang Rui's side and said with a smile. Good, good. Liang Rui didn't know what to do, and nodded again and again. All right! I said, you go to Nangong Mansion with me tomorrow. Ning Qiwei put on a smile that was not worth her life again.

"Nangong Mansion? What did the prince do in Nangong Mansion? Liang Rui couldn't help asking. This is naturally a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have called you, you said yes or no. Ning Qiwei was full of smiles. Hehe... Not necessarily. Liang Rui smiled lightly. What did you say? You can't regret it. "Ning Qiwei has resumed her aggressive momentum again." You don't tell me what's going on. I'm not going. Liang Rui waved his hand and said. Don't you dare. Ning Qiwei said angrily.

"Lord Wang, just see if I dare." Liang Rui cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile. "You..."Ning Qiwei said angrily. You say, I'm going. Liang Rui always had a smile on his face. All right! Get out! I went to Nangong Mansion to meet Nangong Yi's daughter and fulfill the marriage contract left by my father. So you're going to come with me. Ning Qiwei said with a smile. What the? You go to meet Miss Nangong, what am I going to mix with? I'm not going. Liang Rui's head shook like pounding garlic.

"You're not going! Who said just now, as long as I said it, he will go. I've already said it, you have to go. You dare not try it. If you go, I can consider adding more short weapons to your battalion. What do you think? "Ning Qiwei coerced and lured." This, no... Well, I'll think about it again. Liang Rui heard the words "short weapon", and his attitude changed a lot. "No problem. You should think about it. A smile quietly appeared on Ning Qiwei's face.

"Well, if I go, how many short weapons can we get?" Liang Rui raised his head and just saw Ning Qiwei with a snicker. "Well, I'm going to take a good look at it." Ning Qiwei couldn't hide the smile on her face, and couldn't stop laughing. "Lord Wang, you're lying to me! They won't give me any short weapons at all. Liang Rui said lightly. Whoever said that I can give it to you only after you are gone. Ning Qiwei still had a smile on her face. All right! Deal! Liang Rui was skeptical.

Fragment two

The battle in Changzhou was fought a month and ten days ago

"Rong'er, come and see this invitation." Ning Qiwei took an invitation in her hand, got up and walked to Ning Rong, who was sitting at the tea table and focused on embroidering the lotus picture in her hand. Her hair trembled slightly, Ning Rong raised her head, looked at the invitation in Ning Qiwei's hand, and said softly: "Lord Wang, this is an invitation." "Yes! Is there something wrong? Ning Qiwei asked. Please tell me how to draw such a pattern. Looks special. Lord, whose family is this request? Ning Rong was puzzled.

"Oh, this is a request from Wen Yufeng." Ning Qiwei said casually. "Who is Wen Yufeng?" Ning Rong put down the embroidery needle in his hand and asked softly. "Oh, I forgot. You don't know him yet. Wen Yufeng is the richest man in Changzhou. He wanted to welcome Nangong Xue, the daughter of Nangong Yi, the patriarch of a famous family in Changzhou, so he sent a request for advice. I've always thought this request was very special. I just can't say why. Ning Qiwei said lightly.

"How did the prince know them?" Ning Rong asked with a flashing smart gaze. "Uh... Well, it's a long story, but you can help me look at this invitation first. Ning Qiwei smiled lightly. Oh, is the prince asking me to see the picture on the invitation? Ning Rong's gaze fell on the invitation card and asked softly. Oh, what do you think this picture is trying to convey? Ning Qiwei leaned down and asked.

What this picture wants to express seems to be the line of words annotated on the side: with the years and the years and the dynasties. Lord Wang, this man should be the son of Wen Yufeng you said, and this woman should be Miss Nangong Xue you said. Ning Rong said in a voice. Oh, yes? Let me see. Ning Qiwei picked up the fold on the table and said in surprise. Well, that's a reasonable explanation. Ning Qiwei said in surprise.

"Nangong Xue, Wen Yufeng, there seems to be overlapping words down here, Ning Rong came over with a knife." Ning Qiwei said. "Knives! What do you want a knife for, prince? A hint of panic flashed in Ning Rong's eyes. Oh, scare you! Hehe... I noticed that there seemed to be a layer of words underneath the words. I want to cut it open and see. Ning Qiwei smiled faintly and said. Oh, I'll get you there. Ning Rong put down the embroidery frame in his hand and said softly.

Sure enough, there were words. There are no overlapping words under Nangong, Wen Yufeng's three words are dug up, and it is difficult to read them together to Nangong Yi! Oh, what's going on? Could it be—" Ning Qiwei's face was full of surprise. "Lord Wang, Nangong Yi is Miss Nangong Xue's father, how can he be in trouble!" Ning Rong raised his head and asked. "I don't know much about that. Let me think about it. Ning Qiwei sat on the chair next to the tea table.

"Velvet, I'll take care of some things." Ning Qiwei stood up from the tea table and hurriedly walked to the door. "Lord Wang, where are you in such a hurry?" Ning Qiwei almost bumped into Rong Yun, who stepped through the door. "I'm looking for Liang Rui, do you see where he is?" Ning Qiwei stopped and asked. "General Liang Rui! Just outside the door, he was talking to a man in the flower garden. Rong Yun said with a smile.

"Liang Rui, General Liu, you are all here, just right! Liang Rui, you take some people and keep a close eye on Nangong Mansion. General Liu, you pay attention to the movements of the enemy forces outside the city. As soon as there is a situation, send someone to report it immediately. Act now! Ning Qiwei hurriedly walked in front of Liang Rui and Liu Qingyin and said.

Fragment three

Ten days before the Battle of Changzhou

Why didn't these historical documents of Changzhou record the marriage contract between Nangong Yi and Nangong. Ning Qiwei flipped through the documents of the second year of Shengde, and her heart was full of doubts. Ning Qiwei casually threw aside the book in her hand, and picked up another book on the case. Ning Qiwei quickly flipped through the booklet in her hand, threw it aside, and picked up another booklet.

"Lord Wang, what historical material do you need, the lower official will help you find it, the Changzhou historian who was standing on the side said respectfully." Uh, no. I'll just look through it myself. Ning Qiwei said secretly: The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better." Lord Wang, forgive the officials for their mouths, there are thousands of historical manuscripts in the Changzhou History Library, which does not include more than 300 volumes that have not been bound completely. Each volume records no less than hundreds. Finding a single historical source is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Xia Guan has been in charge of Changzhou History Library for more than 30 years, and may be able to help you a little. The historian said indifferently.

"Oh, there are so many historical manuscripts in the Changzhou History Library." Ning Qiwei said in astonishment. "Yes! The prince wants to find the historical manuscript of that year? The historian said humbly. Two years of sande. The record of my father, the emperor and Nangong Yi. Ning Qiwei said lightly. The first emperor and Nangong Yi. This historical material was recorded by my own hand at that time, and I have some impressions. I'll look for it. "The historian is coming.

"Lord Wang, this is the book. There is also a nomination from the former emperor, which I remember quite clearly. The historian rummaged through a cabinet a few times, then walked to Ning Qiwei's side with a scroll of history in his arms. Let me see. Ning Qiwei quickly took over the history book, and secretly said in her heart: It's so heavy!" In the spring of the second year of Shengde, Emperor Nangong Yixie broke Changzhou. Hmm..."Ning Qiwei opened the first page of the history book and read softly.

"On April 28 of the second year of Shengde, the emperor ordered Changzhou to look at hundreds of officials and say that Nangong Yi was promised to Lilu, but Nangong Yi was not accepted." Ning Qiwei was shocked in her heart: he couldn't convince him with hundreds of officials, this person was extremely deep in the city! "Well, why are there only two paragraphs?" Ning Qiwei turned her head and said in surprise. "Lord, the history of the emperor belongs to the palace secret. The Changzhou Historical Library cannot store too detailed historical materials. If the prince needs more detailed historical materials, he needs to find them in the palace literature and history library in Beijing. The historian said respectfully.
