"If something happens, Jingning, you don't have the ability to predict the future, how can I blame you for this?" She smiled with relief.

"Even so, I didn't think about it well, so that you went through this calamity." Feng Jingning said very guiltily and insisted on carrying her down the mountain.

The mountain road was rugged, Bai Zhengyan sighed, followed him, but whispered in his ear: "Did you see that person from the Mu family last night?" ”

Feng Jingning breathed slightly, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "That's Mu Zhong, the son of the Mu family." ”

Seeing this, Bai Zhengyan knew that this matter was very important, so he stopped mentioning it. After going down the mountain, the carriage was prepared at the foot of the mountain early, and there were several people standing beside the carriage that surprised her, including Yang Han, Mu Fan, and two young men in brocade robes, but they didn't know each other.

When she came to the carriage, Feng Jingning put her down in full view of everyone. Bai Zhengyan was wearing the cloak that Feng Jingning had added for her, half-covering the clothes on her body that were cut and torn by rocks, but she smiled generously at them, and she didn't feel ashamed and twisted, there were too many things to support each other on the battlefield, and she didn't care. The others didn't seem to think like her, and focused on her for a moment, and then turned to Feng Jingning.

Feng Jingning smiled gracefully, and introduced the two strange teenagers to Bai Zhengyan and said: "This is the son of the Lu family, who is serving as the deputy general of the city guard, and last night he found that the bamboo forest outside the city was blazing, and he specially led the troops to inspect. ”

Bai Zhengyan waved at the man with heroic features, "I've seen General Lin." ”

Lin Chengli snorted coldly at her, a weak woman, as if he had disdain.

Feng Jingning didn't look at him coldly, and turned to another young man and said: "This is the son of the Mei family, and he is also serving as the deputy general of the city, and he came to the bamboo forest to investigate and rescue people last night." ”

Mei Qingxuan and Bai Zhengyan were opposite each other, and a slight smile appeared on his delicate face, which looked a little similar to Mei Qingwan's eyebrows and eyes, and Qiu Mingrui's lips and eyebrows, but he was a man who made people feel like a spring breeze.

Lin Chengli ignored everyone's gaze, and only asked directly at Bai Zhengyan, "I don't know why this girl appeared in this bamboo forest last night?" Who did they fight again, so that most of the purple bamboo forest burned down, and almost caused a fire. ”

Feng Jingning Shi Ran answered: "Yesterday I went out of the city with this girl to race horses, but I was scattered halfway, she was not familiar with the terrain, I think she turned into a small road and lost her way......"

Lin Chengli waved his hand and said in a solemn voice: "Brother Jingning, please let this girl say in person, I'm asking about the case!" ”

Feng Jingning replied unrelentingly: "I'm just explaining the cause of the matter. “

After doing this, Bai Zhengyan naturally knew that there were some things that General Lu couldn't know, so he replied with a slight smile: "As Feng Gongzi said, I strayed into a fork in the road, and unfortunately alarmed a nest of bandits, so they chased me all the way. I chose the way back, but I was able to turn back to the right path of Longcheng, and met the entourage sent by Feng Gongzi to find me in Zizhupo, but they were besieged in the Zizhu Forest by bandits, and they fled one night, and everyone was separated again. ”

Yang Han and Mu Fan bowed their heads together, and Feng Jingning smiled at her slightly, with approval in his eyes.

"Bandits? A bunch of bandits against how many of you? Lin Chengli frowned and asked persistently

"Me and five retinues." Bai Zhengyan said truthfully, "Because I couldn't fight it, I burned the bamboo forest, so that Longcheng could send troops to help, which was a helpless move and had no intention of causing a catastrophe." ”

"A group of thirty-six bandits dealt with the six of you, and if you can kill them all, why do you set fire to the bamboo forest?" Lin Chengli sneered, his eyes fixed on Bai Zhengyan.

Bai Zhengyan was slightly startled, but his face did not move, and he said calmly: "We didn't kill people, they were already making infighting, is it okay to kill each other?" ”

Lin Chengli was still about to question her, but Yang Han stepped forward to stop her, and said with a smile: "Okay, General Lin, the white girl just escaped from death, and she is still in shock, how can you bear to ask in this cold and windy place?" ”

"General Lin, General Mei, I hope you will find out the truth of this matter and give an explanation to the people of Longdu, otherwise everyone will be afraid when they travel, and they will be robbed by bandits somewhere." Feng Jingning smiled slowly, grabbed Bai Zhengyan and boarded the car forward, ignoring the man behind him who was staring and raising his eyebrows.

Yang Han and Mu Fan said goodbye to them one by one, then they also turned over and got on their horses, and the group rushed to Longdu City.

In the carriage, Bai Zhengyan frowned slightly, this time she can't leave Longdu at will! At least the case of Zhulin has not been solved for a day, and she can't leave at will, otherwise she doesn't know what charges will be involved. She exhaled lightly and asked in a low voice, "Is Muzhong okay?" Did he let the sixth child come back? ”

Feng Jingning nodded apologetically, but someone in front of him whispered, "I'm tired of the girl." This unfamiliar voice is the person who held the sixth child hostage last night, that is, Mu Chong.

Bai Zhengyan's phoenix eyes widened slightly, and he glanced at each other with Feng Jingning, seeing a smile on his lips. It turned out that they were smuggling Mu Chong into the city, no wonder Mu Fan was here, he was here to pick up his eldest brother. What happened to make Mu Zhong abandon his important position at the border and return to Longdu?

The group followed the carriage and entered the Fengjia courtyard together.

Bai Zhengyan went to change his clothes to heal his injuries, but Feng Jingning and his party went out with Mu Chong again.

In the past few days, Mr. Wulan has come to see her and prescribe medicine, and her wrist has to be re-pierced with needles and dressings, and the muscles and bones are injured and injured, and the injury is even worse than before.

Seven days later, Feng Jingning came to visit.

In the courtyard of the West Chamber, the fence is secluded, and the phoenix tail is low and long, such as a flute and a sheng, like a dream.

Bai Zhengyan and he were still sitting opposite the window in the library, the two Yunhua clear soup were green and lovely, seeing that he was depressed between his eyebrows, he asked, "What's the trouble?" What happened to the Mu family? Has it even affected the Feng family? "She's not meddling, she's out of concern for her friends.

Feng Jingning took a sip of tea, pondered for a long time, and said: "I am deeply grateful for the fact that I almost had to worry about my life in order not to affect the Feng family. In this matter, the Mu family owes the Feng family more than a life, Mu Zhong confronted the Hu people at Xingyun Pass and asked for additional troops to help, and the Lu family led the troops to restrain them everywhere so that they were defeated several times, and the Hu people advanced step by step and occupied two cities. Some people in the DPRK and China attacked and said that Mu Jiazao had colluded with the Hu people, and this increase in troops was just an attempt to support the army and respect themselves, and to cooperate with the Hu people to rebel in one fell swoop, and to seek power. ”

Bai Zhengyan frowned, his heart was concerned, and he said: "I heard that the Mo Lord Shengming, there are still people in the Mu family who stay in Kyoto, how can I believe the words of these villains?" ”

Feng Jingning sighed lightly and said: "In recent years, the emperor has been sick and tired, and there are villains who often frame him in his ears, so it is inevitable that there will be a moment of negligence, which will give them a chance." Those villains said that although some people in the Mu family stayed in Kyoto, if they wanted to do big things, a few relatives could also be sacrificed. It is estimated that the emperor has an edict to lead the troops to the Lu family, but the Mu family is not good at it, the two armies fought against the Hu people, and the Lu family couldn't help it for a while. When Mu Zhong attacked the enemy camp at night, he unexpectedly obtained a letter of alliance signed between the Lu family and the Hu people, and was counterattacked by the Lu family's army. Unexpectedly, Mu Chong fought bravely, and his subordinates were loyal, and finally saved him from the siege, and fled all the way to Longdu. ”

Bai Zhengyan bowed, sipped tea and asked, "Then it was the Lu family who chased and killed him in the bamboo forest last night?" ”

Feng Jingning shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Lu family army to travel a long distance and abandon the camp and return to pursue him." Even in order to prevent the scattered branches of the Mu family from supporting and rescuing Yu Muzhong, the news from the front was blocked, and the message was never received here in Yilongdu. It was not the Lu family who was chasing Muzhong, it might be an ally who cooperated with the Lu family, but this person didn't know who it would be at the moment! ”

Listening to his words, her heart was pounding for a while, and there was a faint sign, but she couldn't say it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Then who killed these people in the end?" ”

Feng Jingning frowned for a long time, and said one by one the guesses in his heart: "Maybe in addition to these people, there is another wave of people who are eyeing each other. I just vaguely feel that the situation in our four countries in Kyushu has been a little strange turbulent over the years, and I feel as if someone is adding fuel to the fire and wants to seize it...... What they want is this Kyushu, which dominates the world. ”

Feng Jingning's words made Bai Zhengyan feel the same way in his heart. She also faintly felt that the turmoil in Weiguo over and over again in the past few years made people always uneasy?

Who is driving the situation in Kyushu?

Her long eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of deep contemplation flashed in her eyes.

"Now that the evidence has been submitted to the Mohuang Imperial Case?" She couldn't help but ask about the outcome of the matter.

Feng Jingning nodded and said: "Even though the Lu family and Lu Guifei have blocked it many times, the Mu family is not vegetarian in Longdu, and this matter can't be stopped after all, and it can't be hidden." Now it only depends on who the emperor believes in and who he wants to protect. The Mu family only lost in the harem and did not let their daughter enter the palace as a concubine, so this matter will attract the Snow Queen to help each other, and the Mu family wants to form an alliance with the Xue family. I'm afraid that the Lu family won't be able to keep it, and Lu Guifei would better be imprisoned in the palace, and the three princes will want to compete for the throne again, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to make a comeback, and the best ending is the idle prince. What's more, the Snow Queen and the Crown Prince will not let them have a good time, so as to leave future troubles. ”

Although he analyzed the situation in an orderly manner, there was a faint disgust and worry between his eyebrows, he didn't want to get involved in these things, but how could he persuade his father to let him return to the mountains and forests and travel with a flat boat between heaven and earth. And let a more suitable cousin take over the inheritance of the Feng family and all the worldly affairs?

Feng Jingning reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead with some annoyance, raised his eyes and saw that Bai Zhengyan on the opposite side also looked worried, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhengyan, what's the matter?" ”

She suddenly came back to her senses, and after hearing his words clearly, she also smiled: "In this way, this matter is not beneficial to the Feng family?" ”
