Seeing Jiujiu like this, Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Xining couldn't bear to send her back again, so they let her stay in the inn to recuperate.

At the same time, Ning Xiaochuan also received a letter from Cheng Yu, saying that Gao Xian, the king of the East China Sea, had agreed to meet Ning Xiaochuan secretly.

As for why it was a secret meeting, it was very simple, after all, Ning Xiaochuan's identity was still very sensitive, and if Yin Du learned about it at this time, it was inevitable that he would not make a big fuss about it, and from the beginning, the contact between the two of them should not be known by Yin Du.

Ning Xiaochuan and Gao Xian's meeting place was chosen in the Cheng family's private manor outside Guangling City, which is located in the hills, with tea plantations and rice fields on all sides, which is relatively private and safe, and this is the private residence of the Cheng family.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yu took Ning Yan to the Cheng family's manor, because it was a secret opinion, Ning Xiaochuan chose to go alone.

At first, Nie Hongyi and Kong Zhenxuan resolutely disagreed, but they couldn't resist Ning Xiaochuan's insistence.

There is also a reason why Ning Xiaochuan is so persistent, first of all, he went to the banquet alone because he believed that the Cheng family and the King of the East China Sea could make the King of the East China Sea feel his sincerity.

Second, he is not afraid of accidents in Guangling, after all, Pei Yu has not shown up since he entered Guangling, thinking of the promise that Pei Yu gave him, Ning Xiaochuan is not afraid, with Pei Yu's strength, there are few opponents in the entire Dafeng.

Located in the suburbs of Guangling Chengjia Manor, although the scale is not large, but it is enough to be elegant, the garden is dense, the rockery is strange, the flowing water is murmuring, quite a bit of Jiangnan elegant look, the whole manor gives people the feeling of low-key luxury, pleasant and comfortable, can live here, it is indeed a pleasure.

Jiading led the way, and soon, the two came to the final destination, a pavilion surrounded by rockeries in the back garden, the pavilion is surrounded by rockeries, and the sound of water flow can play a good soundproofing effect.

As soon as I walked into the gazebo in the rockery, I saw a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair sitting in the gazebo, and his subordinates kept helping to add wine.

The man was dressed in a black forged python robe, his eyebrows were not angry, and there was a kind of everyone's air in his gestures, obviously, the person in front of him was the brother of today's son, Ning Yan came to Yangzhou this time and wanted to see the person most, Gao Xian, the king of the East China Sea.

After seeing the man, Cheng Yu hurriedly saluted, "Old decay Cheng Yu paid a visit to the prince, I'm really sorry for making the prince wait for so long." ”

And Gao Xian got up very politely and helped Cheng Yu up, "Mr. doesn't need to be polite, it's because this king can't bear it, he came early, and it has nothing to do with Mr." ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Cheng Yu bowed his head again and said, turned to look at Ning Xiaochuan, took Ning Xiaochuan forward, and said to Gao Xian, "Lord Wang, this is the fifth son under the knee of Duke Liguo, Ning Xiaochuan." ”

"Ning Xiaochuan has seen the prince, I wish the prince a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Ning Xiaochuan bowed down very respectfully and said.

Gao Xian smiled again, and slowly helped Ning Xiaochuan up, "The fifth elder of the Ning family, fortunately, this king and Ning He, Ning Feng and others have all come to the past, both of them are talented in the world, I never thought that this Ning family has many talents, and there is another fifth young master." ”

Ning Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "The prince said that he was joking, the younger generation is not as good as the two brothers in terms of martial arts, and he is not a talent." ”

"Hahaha, don't be modest, take a seat." After some greetings, the king of the East China Sea invited Ning Xiaochuan to take a seat, while Cheng Yu waved his hand and left, his task was over, and there was not much point in staying.

After taking a seat, Gao Xian was very calm, "Ning Gongzi, if there is anything, just say it directly, there is just you and me here, no need to be formal." ”

"Okay, Lord Wang, the younger generation will say it directly, now I have heard about the situation in Yangzhou, it is not optimistic, I don't know how the Lord will solve this dilemma." Ning Xiaochuan said.

Gao Xian put down the cup in his hand, looked at Ning Xiaochuan and smiled slightly, "Ning Gongzi cares about it quite specially, just like you said, the situation in Yangzhou is a little troublesome, but this king believes that Yangzhou will always return to peace one day." ”

"If it is really as optimistic as the prince said, the prince probably won't come to see the juniors." Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile.

As soon as Ning Xiaochuan's words fell, Gao Xian's face changed slightly, and his gaze when he looked at Ning Xiaochuan again became much more cautious, "Young Master Ning has a high opinion?" ”

"In front of the prince, I can't talk about high opinions, but there are some immature judgments, and I hope that the prince will correct me." Ning Xiaochuan politely arched his hand and said, "The key to the situation in Yangzhou now lies in Lord Xiang Tingbai, in fact, you don't want to watch Yangzhou encounter war, firstly, the people are suffering and Jiangnan is unstable, and secondly, the royal family is very likely to take this opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the East China Sea, which is a big threat to you." ”

Gao Xian listened to Ning Xiaochuan's words, his expression became serious, and he remembered what his subordinates said before, it seemed that he really underestimated this Ning Xiaochuan.

"Go on."

"But the situation in Yangzhou has not been solved for so long, there must be some problems during this period, and now the situation in Jiangnan is so delicate, if there is a slight change between you and Lord Bai, it may affect the whole body.

You don't want to go to war, and Lord Bai can't find a suitable excuse to start a war, the younger generation dares to say that the stalemate between the two sides will not last long now, once Lord Bai finds a suitable reason, the start of the war is inevitable. Ning Xiaochuan continued to arch his hand.

These words coincide with what Gao Xian thinks in his heart, in fact, the situation in Yangzhou is indeed the case now, in the face of Bai Xiangting's pressing step by step, as a prince, he can only choose to forbear.

Behind Bai Xiangting is Yin Du, and now the situation in Yangzhou says that Yin did not interfere with Gao Xian, but this is a ruthless move, you know that it is Yin Du's handiwork, but you are helpless.

For this reason, Gao Xian is also a little helpless, he urgently needs to find a person to break the situation, this person must first stay outside Yangzhou, and let him have enough trust.

Just when he was anxious and had nowhere to look for this person, Ning Xiaochuan came, Yin Du had been planning against them in the East China Sea for a long time, and it was not the same for the Ning family.

Only one of the five major princes remained, coupled with Ning Feng's words in the Yindu court some time ago, the situation of the Ning family was even more dangerous, and at this time, the only one who could help the Ning family was the king of the East China Sea.

This is the truth of the cold lips and teeth, to put it more clearly, it is cooperation to survive, Liguo Gong is in charge of Xiangzhou, the king of the East China Sea is in charge of Yangzhou, and Suzhou is in charge of Suzhou, if the two parties cooperate with each other, it is also a threat to Yindu.

And when Gao Xian heard Cheng Yu say that Ning Xiaochuan wanted to see him, he strengthened this conjecture, that is, Liguo Gong is also seeking cooperation, since cooperation, then there must be sincerity, and this Yangzhou incident is the best sincerity of Li Guogong.

Gao Xian nodded slightly, "What Ning Gongzi said is very true, and the situation in Yangzhou is probably the same now, Bai Xiangting is constantly provoking the bottom line of this king, just to cause a war, for the people of Yangzhou, this king still hopes to resolve this matter peacefully, after all, once the war starts, it is the people who suffer." ”

Ning Xiaochuan agreed with Gao Xian's words, "Lord Wang, the younger generation has a way to solve the matter of Yangzhou safely, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The root of Yangzhou's affairs is still in Bai Xiangting, Lord Bai, listen to what Mr. Cheng said, you have the grace of knowing Lord Bai, and Lord Bai was also with you before, but after returning from Yindu Guozi, he became a little alienated and unfamiliar.

Therefore, the younger generation thinks that if the reason can be found out, then the misunderstanding between you and Lord Bai can be solved, and Yangzhou will be safe? Ning Xiaochuan spoke slowly.

How could Gao Xian not know this truth, if he could find out how Gao Xian would wait until now, it was Yindu Guozijian who had an accident, could it be that he really wanted to go to Guozijian to investigate? This is not clear and against Gao Zhen? He had seen everything that happened to King Anxi, and he didn't want to follow in his footsteps.

Ning Xiaochuan naturally understood Gao Xian's worries, and continued, "The bell must be tied to the bell, if you can get close to Lord Bai, then you will have a chance to find out the truth." ”

"Since the conflict between our two sides intensified, this king has sent at least ten lobbyists to hope for peace talks, but Bai Xiangting's attitude is resolute, and he doesn't see it at all, and the people sent by this king have all been expelled without exception, and even the dark line has been pulled out a lot, and this king is really powerless." Gao Xian said helplessly, his eyes were always on Ning Xiaochuan when he spoke, and the meaning was very clear.

Ning Xiaochuan got up and arched his hand, "The prince doesn't have to worry, if you can trust the juniors, the juniors are willing to go to Langya to ask to see Lord Bai, find out the truth, and return Yangzhou to peace." ”

Gao Xian couldn't help but relax when he heard this, and bowed his head slightly, "Ning Gongzi has this intention, and this king is very pleased, but now in a special period, if you have three long and two short, then Yin Duli Guogong, this king can't explain it." ”

"The prince is too worried, no one knows about you and me when we meet this time, and as long as you don't say my identity, who will know?"

Ning Xiaochuan said this, and secretly scolded in his heart that this Gao Xian is also a personal essence, which is obviously to clear up the relationship first, that is to say, you Ning Xiaochuan has nothing to do with him if something happens to him in Langya, and when the time comes, Liguo Gong will not settle the account on his head.

After listening to Ning Xiaochuan's words, Gao Xian smiled with satisfaction, "Since this is the case, then there is Lao Ninggongzi, such a thing can be done, I Yangzhou is peaceful, this king should be grateful, if he is in trouble, this king should help and never shirk." ”

Since Ning Xiaochuan has already made a condition that he can't refuse, then he Gao Xian also has to give Ning Xiaochuan some sweetness, this kind of thing that can be understood without saying it is the most suitable, Ning Xiaochuan heard this, and smiled, "That junior is here to represent the Ning family, thank you, Lord Wang." ”

At this moment, Ning Xiaochuan knew in his heart that whether he could get the King of the East China Sea to support them Ning family depended on how he solved this matter, he had only heard of Bai Xiangting, and to be honest, he had no bottom in his heart, this had to find out the truth and not reveal his identity, it was indeed a bit difficult.
