40. Chase relentlessly
"Guest officer, the jade chicken silk you want, snowflake white fungus..." Xiao Er, it seems that there is one less dish. Ling Yun's mouth was stuffed with food, and he didn't forget to count the dishes on the table. Enough, enough for this! Ning Qiwei patted Ling Yun's arm and said.
"Why are you so stingy. If you want to eat, you can eat enough, Xiao Er, you have one less plate of steamed sea bass. Ling Yun struggled to squeeze out this sentence. Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. The dish will come right away. Xiao Er walked away as if he had received a pardon. Can you finish this big table? Net is a waste of money. Ning Qiwei said with a light smile. You can eat it with peace of mind! Someone will pay for us in a moment. Ling Yun swallowed what was in his mouth and said with a smile.
"Someone will pay for us. Who is it? Ning Qiwei looked at Ling Yun with confused eyes and said. You'll find out in a moment. Ling Yun said mysteriously. You will deceive people, who will pay for us for no reason. Ning Qiwei smiled faintly and said. Why am I lying to you? Just watch! Ling Yun said indifferently.
"Guest, your steamed sea bass." Xiao Er quickly placed the dishes on the table that was already full of dishes. "Guest, what do you need?" Xiao Er's smile is like a flower. "No need, no need, Xiao Er is going to be busy with you! What do you need to call again? Ning Qiwei waved her hand and said. Okay, please use it slowly. After Xiao Er said this, he walked away.
"Oh, this steamed sea bass is in good condition. Taste it. Ning Qiwei picked up a few shredded ginger on the plate with chopsticks and said. With a snap, the chopsticks in Ning Qiwei's hand were picked open, and Ling Yun smiled and said, "Didn't you let me order it?" Now it looks good. "I still won't let you order. But it's ready to be eaten when it's already served. Ning Qiwei smiled. A duplicitous girl. After a while you continue your duplicity. Ling Yun sneered. What's going on in a while? Ning Qiwei looked at Ling Yun suspiciously.
As soon as Ning Qiwei's words fell, a team of officers and soldiers rushed in. The people who were still talking and laughing just now fell silent when they saw this scene. All eyes in the lobby fell on the one who was walking through the door. Ning Qiwei raised her eyes, and the person who walked in the door was wearing a gray satin round-necked robe with a purple and gold crown on her hairpin. Looking at it from a distance, Ning Qiwei felt that the eyebrows and eyes of the person who came were so familiar.
The person who came got closer and closer, and Ning Qiwei saw his face clearly. Well, it's Liang Rui. What is he doing here? Liang Rui's figure crossed Ning Qiwei's gaze. "Shopkeeper, we're going to search the inn." Liang Rui's familiar voice echoed in the lobby and also echoed in Ning Qiwei's heart. "This official, the small shop operates with integrity and is not deceitful, why did you search our store." The shopkeeper said cautiously.
"Find someone!" Liang Rui's voice was not loud, but it revealed a breathtaking spirit. "I don't know who you're looking for, sir?" The shopkeeper laughed. "An important person. Look at it, the government search warrant. Liang Rui raised his hand and shook it slightly, and an A4 paper-sized notice was presented in front of everyone. Oh, sir, please. The shopkeeper respectfully made a gesture of please.
"Zhao Hu, you lead people to guard the various exits behind the shop. Sun Xing, you are responsible for guarding the various exits ahead. Liang Rui said decisively. Shopkeeper, please call all the guests in the room to the lobby. Remember, no one is left behind. Liang Rui said indifferently. I... I'll go. Under Liang Rui's threatening gaze, the shopkeeper swallowed all the words he wanted to use as a justification into his stomach and left in a huff.
Liang Rui glanced at the people in the lobby, and everywhere he looked, people were half a head lower. Ning Qiwei watched Liang Rui's every move intently. When Liang Rui's gaze turned to Ning Qiwei's side, he happened to meet Ning Qiwei's gaze. The moment Liang Rui saw Ning Qiwei, a trace of long-lost joy flashed in his eyes.
Liang Rui walked quickly to the table where Ning Qiwei and Ling Yun were sitting. Ning Qiwei stared at Liang Rui who came in a hurry, and she suddenly felt her heart panic. Ling Yun nibbled on the fragrant chicken leg to himself, not caring at all about the major changes around him.
"It's you! Sure enough, it's you! Liang Rui stood straight opposite Ning Qiwei and shouted ecstatically. What are you doing here? Ning Qiwei said indifferently. I'm coming for you, come back with me! They all miss you. Especially the Queen Mother. Liang Rui tried his best to keep smiling. I am tired. I'm out for a walk! You go back! To help Yu Fan. He needed someone to help him. Ning Qiwei smiled faintly and said.
"I have resigned as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and now I am only the director of the Changzhou City Soldiers and Horses Division. But you can rest assured. Before leaving, I handed over the guards of the imperial city to Prince Ningyu. Prince Ning Yu handed it over to my brother. He's going to do better than me. Yufan has ascended the throne! Liang Rui sat next to Ning Qiwei and said in a low voice. But what are you doing in Changzhou? Ning Qiwei said coldly.
"I... I'm here to deliver this to you..."Liang Rui was a little flustered, and he hurriedly took out a folded piece of paper from his arms. "What is this?" Ning Qiwei took the paper handed over by Liang Rui and looked at it carefully. Ning Qiwei recognized at a glance that the paper in her hand was a special royal paper. Ning Qiwei opened the folded paper, and the neat handwriting on the paper made Ning Qiwei recognize Ning Rong's handwriting at a glance. Ning Qiwei saw things and thought about people, and her heart trembled unconsciously.
Ning Qiwei's eyes fell on the beginning of the paper: Holy Decree/Fengtian Carrier, Ning Qiwei, the thirteenth king of Zhenning Fuguo, let the emperor be located in my imperial brother Ning Yufan, out of Changzhou, for the prince of Hangbing,. Chin this! Ning Qiwei looked at the holy decree in her hand and sighed lightly.
"Okay, I'll get the stuff too. You can leave. Ning Qiwei folded up the holy decree and put it in her sleeve pocket, and said indifferently. It is written in my memo that I am here to assist the prince, and that I must take you back to where you should be. Liang Rui said stubbornly. If so, then you should go back to the capital. Ning Qiwei picked up the chopsticks on the table and said casually. I'm going to stay here, and my mission is to assist the prince. Liang Rui said calmly.
"I don't need anyone's help! Go back to the capital as soon as possible. Don't limit my freedom here. Ning Qiwei said indifferently. You... If you want to use the agitation method to get me to go back, I can't go back. Since I am here, I will ensure the safety of the prince. Liang Rui was not polite at all, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks basket and picked up a piece of fish. You... You're really... Hi... You're like this..."Ning Qiwei's anger rose to her eyebrows.
"Knock knock" A few crisp knocks on the door completely pulled Ning Qiwei back from her beautiful dreamland. "It's early in the morning, who's so annoying." Ning Qiwei glanced out of the sunny window and muttered in a low voice. "Who?" Ning Qiwei exhaled. "Liang Rui." Liang Rui's gentle voice came from outside the door. "Wait outside. It's still early. Ning Qiwei turned over, closed her eyes and said.
"Lord, hurry up. Mr. Nangong begged to see you in the living room. Liang Rui outside the door said anxiously. Mr. Nangong, who is it? Ning Qiwei opened her closed eyes, turned over, and asked in surprise. It is a famous family in Changzhou. Liang Rui's gentle voice came from outside the door. Missing. Missing. Ning Qiwei closed her eyes and said. You can not see anyone, but you can't not see him. He is the benefactor who once helped your father get out of trouble. Liang Rui outside the door said calmly.
Oh, benefactor! I really can't afford to offend! Ning Qiwei stuck out her tongue helplessly. "Got it, I'll change my clothes." Ning Qiwei turned over and got out of bed and staggered to the hanger. "Lord Wang, you have to hurry up. Mr. Nangong has been waiting for a long time! Liang Rui's urging voice came from outside the door again. Got it. Ning Qiwei exclaimed impatiently.
In the living room of the palace, Ning Qiwei and the so-called Mr. Nangong sat opposite each other. The maid came up with a tray. The maid put tea cups on Mr. Nangong and Ning Qiwei in turn. "Sir, please have tea." Ning Qiwei made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile. "Okay, lord, please." Mr. Nangong elegantly picked up the teacup and said with a smile. Ning Qiwei also picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Mr. Nangong gently put the teacup back to its original position, and smiled elegantly: "I came to visit your mansion today, first, to visit the prince, and secondly, to continue a relationship. "Love?" Ning Qiwei shouted suspiciously. "Yes! When Emperor Shengde went to Jiangnan, he left a piece of jade pendant and a marriage letter. Mr. Nangong smiled.
"Jade pendant? Marriage book? Sir, may you please take a look below? Ning Qiwei's heart was full of confusion, but she still kept smiling. Oh, the prince doesn't know about it. My Tao is that you are here to continue the relationship. It turns out that your father has long forgotten this old agreement. Mr. Nangong's tone was full of loneliness. Oh, my father, sir, forgive. My father is dead. Therefore..."Ning Qiwei hurriedly defended.
"Uh, yes! No wonder he is. Mr. Nangong said to himself. Eh, sir, can you show me the marriage book and jade pendant you mentioned? Ning Qiwei said earnestly. Oh good. Only then did Mr. Nangong come back to his senses. He flicked his sleeves, took a purse from the right sleeve pocket, stood up, and walked towards Ning Qiwei slowly. Ning Qiwei hurriedly stood up.
Mr. Nangong respectfully handed the purse to Ning Qiwei, and Ning Qiwei reached out to take the purse from Mr. Nangong's hand. Ning Qiwei gently tugged at the opening of the purse with both hands and took out the contents inside. Ning Qiwei looked at the jade pendant in her hand and a neatly folded piece of paper. The yellowed paper and the ink that has penetrated the paper show that the paper is old. There is also the jade pendant, which is engraved with a dragon pattern. It must be a royal thing.
