Chapter 186: Damn Curiosity

Liu Jinfu's voice was gentle, and his cheeks were flickering with the light of the fire.

"That was when I first joined the army, I had just been promoted from a small soldier to a captain, and that night we were preparing to attack the Turks at night, but I don't know when the news leaked, and the other party had already taken precautions and set up an ambush. Although I was well prepared, I was attacked by the enemy, slashing my mount, falling off my horse, and stabbing the enemy in the chest before I could react. ”

Zheliu looked at Liu Jinfu, his face showed a little shame, probably ashamed of what he said not long ago about the interesting remarks about the war.

However, Liu Jinfu didn't notice the change in her mood, and continued to talk to herself.

"I resisted, and I finally survived, and we narrowly won, but I passed out due to excessive blood loss."

Speaking of this, everyone present gasped, although everyone knew in their hearts that Liu Jinfu was finally out of danger, they still couldn't help but sweat for her.

Zheliu frowned, and finally couldn't help but interject, "Then isn't your woman's identity known to the military doctor?" ”

Military doctors are naturally loyal to the commander-in-chief, and the big crime of a woman joining the army is naturally not to be concealed, and once it is reported, the consequences are unimaginable.

"yes." Liu Jinfu smiled slightly, "But the military doctor at that time told a friend of mine about this, and the other party helped me hide it." ”

Zheliu suddenly showed an excited smile, she looked at Liu Jinfu with an undisguised expectation, "Your friend must be our emperor." ”

And Mengyin on the side, his face is not good-looking.

Liu Jinfu didn't speak, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

In fact, Jiang Ning also guessed so, the military doctor must not dare to hide it and not report it, and the only possibility that he was not punished is that the commander in charge of the army at that time secretly suppressed this matter.

And that commander is naturally Mu Jingzhao.

At that time, Liu Jinfu had just entered the barracks, and Mu Jingzhao already knew her identity as a woman, and the relationship between the two at that time should be closer than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's face sank.

The bad answer in her heart grew stronger and stronger, almost in her throat.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, barely suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she looked at Liu Jinfu, and there was a bit of tremor in her voice that she didn't even notice.

"At that time, did the emperor already know that you were General Liu's daughter?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people present instantly became solemn.

Liu Jinfu didn't answer, and immediately, she laughed, and casually stuffed the grilled fish in her hand into Jiang Ning's hand, "Okay, it's getting late now, it's time for the palace to rest, so I'll go back first." ”

Hearing this, Mengyin hurriedly got up and helped Liu Jinfu to leave slowly.

Before leaving, she glanced at Jiang Ning deeply, and there was no meaning in her eyes.

Jiang Ning turned over the grilled fish in his hand, and at this time, the fins of the grilled fish had become charred black, and the smell of paste came from the fire.

"Girl." The moment she turned her head to look at Ori Willow, Ori Willow shuddered.

But the more the other party escaped, the more curious Jiang Ning became.

"Do you know how the concubine's leg hurts?"

Zheliu tilted his head slightly, looked away, didn't look at her, lowered his head and took a bite of the grilled fish in his hand.

"It's interrupted, isn't it?"

Oriyanagi's hand holding the skewer trembled slightly, but he still didn't answer.

Jiang Ning felt that his heart seemed to tremble violently with the other party's movements.

"Did the emperor do it?"

"How is that possible?!" Zheliu exclaimed, and then, she seemed to realize her gaffe again, and lowered her voice and spoke, "It's not the emperor." We are not allowed to talk about this matter, and if we do, it will be a crime of killing the head! ”

Although the other party flatly denied it, Jiang Ning still felt very strange in his heart.

If this matter has nothing to do with Mu Jingzhao, then why did he block the news so harshly, and what kind of role did he play in it?

If Mu Jingzhao already knew that Liu Jinfu was the daughter of General Liu from the beginning, why didn't he prevent Liu Jinfu's identity from being exposed and save all this?

How did they turn against each other?

A series of questions crowded into Jiang Ning's mind, making her have a splitting headache.

Sometimes she really hates her own character of asking the bottom of everything, knowing that the truth may be cruel and unacceptable, but she still has to plunge into it.

When Jiang Ning came back to his senses, the bonfire in front of him had been extinguished, and only a little spark was left flickering in the night wind. Ori Liu was not around, and there was a skewer of grilled fish on the stone stove in front of him.

The lights of the convoy behind her lit up, and not far behind her, Lu Feng and a Praetorian Guard stood upright, keeping a safe but polite distance.

Jiang Ning ate the fish in two bites, got up, and prepared to go back to his carriage to rest.

No sooner had she turned around than she heard a crisp, abrupt clanging sound in the creek.

She turned her head to look at the stream.

When the moon was in the sky, the silver-white moonlight poured down unscrupulously, falling on the gurgling stream, and shattered with the ripples of the stream.

It doesn't look out of the ordinary.

She continued to turn.

The strange sound sounded behind him again, and Jiang Ning slowly stepped forward and walked to the side of the stream.

The moonlight was reflected in the stream, and the water was flowing without the slightest abnormality, and just as she was about to turn to leave, a bush not far from her made a strange noise.

Jiang Ning's body stiffened, and he looked hesitantly in the direction of the bushes, and a squatting figure was faintly outlined in front of the tall bushes.

She was startled and was about to call for help from the Praetorian Guards behind her.

The figure spoke out abruptly.

"Mother."

The voice was low and self-contained, with a bit of indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.

It's not Lin Zheng, who else can it be.

Regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, Jiang Ning rolled his eyes at Lin Zheng.

"You're scared me to death, what are you doing there?"

Lin Zheng's figure did not move, and his voice was still indifferent, "The minister just has something in his heart that he wants to say to Niangniang." ”

Compared to what Lin Zheng wanted to say, Jiang Ning was obviously still a little more concerned about Lin Zheng's somewhat strange posture at the moment.

After all, Lin Zheng has always been a very cold and indifferent image on weekdays, and it really doesn't match such a posture.

Jiang Ning couldn't hold back, "fluttered", and laughed.

For a moment, she barely managed to stabilize her emotions and spoke in the other party's indifferent and deep voice.

"What?"

"In fact, in the days when the minister left, the emperor asked the minister to stay in Qingshui County to protect the safety of his mother's relatives."

Jiang Ning's body stiffened, but then, she reacted again, obviously they had so much time alone during the day today Lin Zheng could tell her about this, why did he choose to say it at this time.

She glanced at where Lin Zheng was, he was on the side of the bushes facing the stream, his black clothes almost blended in with the bushes, and he couldn't tell that there was a person there unless he looked closely.

A very strange feeling rose from the heart.

"Did you hear what we just said?"
