Xin'an City, Xiangzhou.

Although Xin'an Castle is the seat of the Xiangzhou Prefecture Governor's Office, its influence in Daebong is far less than that of Qiushan Castle, which has Sushan Palace, and even slightly worse than that of Nakju.

Like the state pastor Gu Chen, a state pastor who does not look like a state pastor, other state pastors sit next to the desk every day to review the recitals and deal with the affairs of the state, large and small.

But Gu Chen is different, there is a large vegetable patch in the backyard of the state pastor's mansion, and the vines on it are full of all kinds of vegetables and fruits, cucumbers, eggplants, everything.

Gu Chen's greatest pleasure every day is to hoe and mow grass in the vegetable garden, although he is disliked by his wife in every way, he still enjoys it.

On this day, in the vegetable garden in the backyard of the state pastor's house, Gu Chen was watering the vegetable garden under the sun, dressed in coarse cloth and rotten clothes, his forehead was covered with sweat, and years of work made his skin tanned, looking similar to an ordinary old farmer in the field.

When Gu Chen was enjoying the pastoral life leisurely, Qian Sheng, the chief bookkeeper, walked over, and Qian Sheng was no longer surprised by Gu Chen, who was working in the fields, and walked to Gu Chen's side and said, "My lord, there is a conflict between the North Tomb Gate and the Sushan Palace, and even Shen Chang has taken action." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned, slowly put down the water drift in his hand, and patted the dust on his body, "Sushan Palace has a deep foundation, although something happened some time ago, but the foundation is still there, just rely on Shen Chang to shake the status of Sushan Palace, it is really beyond his strength, and the grasshopper shakes the tree." ”

Qian Sheng nodded curtly, "But this is also a complaint about the North Tomb Gate, if they want to develop and grow in Xiangzhou, then Sushan Palace is their biggest opponent." ”

Gu Chen smiled, "We don't have to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, just let it be." ”

"I understand below." Qian Sheng arched his hand.

……

Qing, like the border between the two states, a convoy slowly appeared, Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Xining rode side by side, and there were Han Zhan and Liu En beside them.

Nie Hongyi and Kong Zhenxuan each drove the carriage, Su Su sat in the carriage, lying on the window and looking at the scenery outside.

"The closest to Qingzhou in Xiangzhou City is Qiushan City, Qiushan City is named because it is backed by Qiushan, but what makes Qiushan City really famous is Sushan Palace." Han Zhan groaned.

Liu En next to him nodded, "Sushan Palace is known as the first sect in Xiangzhou, I knew about this sect when I was in Chengyang, and looking at the entire Dafeng, it is one of the best sects." ”

"Sushan Palace is famous for "Qianyuan Jue", if we are lucky enough to meet the disciples of Sushan Palace this time, we can ask for advice." Han Zhan said thoughtfully.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Han Zhan and almost laughed, "Brother Han, why didn't you find out that you actually have such a heart that loves to fight." ”

"What does it mean to love to fight, just to ask for advice, I have been in Luzhou for so many years, and now I finally came out once, so I naturally want to gain more knowledge." Han Zhan tilted his head and laughed softly.

Liu En smiled beside him, "I just hope that Han Gongzi won't be the first to run away by then." ”

"Hahaha......" Ning Xiaochuan and the others couldn't help laughing.

Han Zhan pursed his lips slightly, and shook his head helplessly, "You guys, you still underestimate me too much." ”

"Brother Han, what are you talking about, you are the eldest son of the Fa family, we don't dare to underestimate it." Ning Xiaochuan quipped on the side.

Just as everyone was chatting, Yu Xining pointed to the outline of the city that slowly appeared in front of her, and said excitedly, "Look, ahead." ”

Ning Xiaochuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Qiushan City, we have arrived." ”

……

Yindu, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since the incident of Jingzhou Mu, Ning Feng said that he was sick at the request of Ning Zhi, and a month later, this matter slowly faded out of everyone's field of vision.

After all, Gao Zhen didn't say anything, and no one dared to mention it again, with the re-appointment of Kong Zhangxi, the master of the country, everything in Yindu seemed to be developing towards a friendly side.

In Guan Zhongxian's study, Guan Zhongxian was pondering how to crack Ning Feng's dangerous move, looking at the white son on the chessboard who seemed to be attacked by thousands of troops, Guan Zhongxian was sitting in danger, and slowly fell a son, which happened to be stuck in the neck of the sunspot, so that the sunspot could not go up or down.

Seeing this son, Ning Feng couldn't help but open his mouth to praise, "Father-in-law is a good chess player, and the son-in-law is willing to bow down." ”

Guan Zhongxian smiled slowly, "It's you who are too anxious and want to push me into a desperate situation, this person, you can't be in a hurry, once you are in a hurry, you will reveal flaws, and these flaws are often fatal." ”

"Yes, father-in-law, son-in-law is taught." Ning Feng arched his hand and said.

"There has been news of Ning Xiaochuan in recent days." Guan Zhongxian stared at the chessboard and said slowly.

Ning Feng nodded, took out a letter from his cuff, and handed it to Guan Zhongxian, who threw the letter aside, "Say, old man listen." ”

"Xiaochuan killed the prince of Jingbei in Chengyang, Luzhou, went all the way east, came to the Confucian sect of the Confucian family in Qiancheng Mountain, and left Qiancheng Mountain three days ago, preparing to go to Xiangzhou." Ning Feng opened his mouth and said.

It seems to be unremarkable, but these things are all fatal murder opportunities that almost killed Ning Xiaochuan in a foreign land, and for this, Guan Zhongxian only frowned slightly.

"The old man knows about killing the prince of Jingbei, and going to Qingzhou is also expected by the old man, but if Ning Xiaochuan goes to Xiangzhou, the situation will not be good."

"The king of Jingbei only has a son, who died in the hands of Xiaochuan, and will inevitably take revenge on Xiaochuan, as for Confucianism, there is Mr. Kong, but there is no need to worry much, these days Yangzhou Donghai King is not optimistic, Xiaochuan to Xiangzhou seems to be the safest way." Ning Feng opened his mouth and said, it was a completely different view from Guan Zhongxian.

Guan Zhongxian shook his head and smiled, "Yangzhou has the King of the East China Sea in charge, if Ning Xiaochuan goes to Yangzhou, the King of Jingbei will still be a little jealous, and he will not send people to chase and kill him so recklessly, but it is different when he goes to Xiangzhou."

Xiangzhou Mu Gu Chen is a well-known wise self-preservation, he likes some flowers and plants on weekdays, even if the King of Jingbei sends someone to hunt down Ning Xiaochuan, as long as he does not offend his interests, he will definitely not pay attention to it, in this case, Ning Xiaochuan's situation is not good. ”

Saying this, Ning Feng suddenly realized, and then his expression was a little solemn, "Then are we going to do something?" ”

"Don't do anything, King Jingbei didn't choose to make trouble in Xindu, so he doesn't have to make trouble for Ning Xiaochuan, since the young man chose to go out, then he must bear it." Guan Zhongxian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "But now the old man is more worried about the situation of the East China Sea King, I don't know how long he can last......"

"In terms of strategy, the King of the East China Sea is not as scheming as the King of Jingbei, and in terms of ability, he is not as bold as the King of Anxi, and His Majesty ignored him before because his threat was not great, but once His Majesty made a decision to deal with him, I am afraid that he will not last long......" Ning Feng frowned and said.

"Yes, once something happens to the King of the East China Sea, the King of Jingbei has no heirs, and the unification of the northern border is already a matter of time, then Your Majesty's next target is the Ning family......" Guan Zhongxian said and directly landed a white son in the middle of the sunspot, so that Ning Feng was like a fish in his throat, hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, and this position was Ning Feng's seven inches.

Ning Feng got up and arched his hand, "Son-in-law admits defeat." ”

"It's a loss on the chessboard, but the Ning family doesn't, you immediately send a letter to Ning Xiaochuan, so that he can quickly go to Yangzhou after the end of Xiangzhou, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and the king of the East China Sea can't fall yet." Guan Zhongxian was stunned for a moment and said slowly.

Ning Feng nodded, "Yes, son-in-law will do it." ”

After Ning Feng withdrew his hand, Guan Zhongxian coughed violently twice, and quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, when the cough was over, there was already a large piece of black blood on the handkerchief, Guan Zhongxian sighed, put the handkerchief aside, closed his eyes and pondered.

……

Outside the Ning Mansion, Kong Ying cautiously stood in the distance and looked at the Ning Mansion with the door closed, biting her lip, and made up her mind to go up and knock on the door several times, and every time she saw the family at the door, she retreated.

"Hello, I'm looking for Ning Song, my name is Kong Ying, and I am the daughter of my master......" Kong Ying took a deep breath and said slowly, and before he could finish speaking, he shook his head, "This is not good, will this make people think that I am bullying others." ”

"Hello, I'm looking for Ning Song, I'm Kong Ying, Ning Song's friend......" Kong Ying simulated it again, but just after speaking, he shook his head, "Oh, it still doesn't work......"

Just when Kong Ying was stomping her feet in a hurry, a sword suddenly reached her neck, which made Kong Ying tremble, and before she could speak, a woman's voice came from behind, "Who are you, what are you doing sneakily in front of the Ning Mansion?" ”

"I ...... I'm not a bad person, I'm here to find someone......" Kong Ying was frightened, and the whole person shrank into a ball, leaning against the corner, and speaking a little unfavorably.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? ”

Listening to the woman's fierce and ruthless tone, Kong Ying's tears fell directly in fright, "I'm looking for the third son, Ning Song, I am the daughter of the master of the country, and I am also a friend of Young Master Ning Song, Young Master Ning and the old lady have been in Qiancheng Mountain before, we know ......"

Listening to Kong Ying's aggrieved tone that almost cried, the woman took back the sword, and her tone was much softer, "Since it is the master's daughter, then turn it around, let me see what kind of posture it is." ”

Kong Ying turned around, her eyes were red, and her tears were flushing, and she also saw clearly the woman who had just drawn her sword at herself, with a red dress and picturesque eyebrows, and she was a big beauty, but why did she just say it in a tone that felt like a rakshasa even more.

The woman looked at Kong Ying, looked up and down, and nodded to herself, "Well, the master's daughter is really a little beautiful, and the third child is blessed this time." ”

"Sister...... Sister...... You are...... Kong Ying stared at the woman in red in front of her carefully.

I saw the woman in red walk over, took out a white silk handkerchief from her cuff, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and there was still a faint fragrance of jasmine on the handkerchief, "I'm sorry, sister, I'm the second lady of Ningfu, my name is Guan Yun'er, you can just call me Sister Yun, I'm really sorry just now, don't be weird." ”

"Sister Yun?" Kong Ying stared at Guan Yun'er with wide eyes.
