Thinking of this, Jiang Ning gathered the big on his body and walked out of the side hall.

Jiang Ning thought absentmindedly as he walked in the direction of the gate out of the hall.

In fact, her relationship with Mu Jingzhao is just two people who were forced to stand in the same station because of Shen's prank.

If there is really any direct relationship, it is probably the casual promise of assassination.

If there is anything that Jiang Ning has not resolved, there is probably only one such thing.

Jiang Ning thought about it, and felt that this matter should still be clarified to Mu Jingzhao.

She has never been a man of her word.

Thinking so, she had already walked to the position at the gate of the palace, Jiang Ning paused, turned around and walked in the direction of the side hall.

Unexpectedly, she only took two steps and met Shen Tong on a narrow road.

After a pause at her feet, Shi Shiran saluted Shen Tong.

I haven't seen him for a long time, Shen Tong's originally fat figure has grown a little fatter, his face is full of red light, and he is wearing a snow-white fox fur, which looks like a hairball from a distance.

"Niang Niang auspicious." Shen Tong said, nodding slightly to her, but his knees did not bend down for half a minute.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, although she didn't want to communicate with Shen Tong, but her tutor from childhood made her reluctant to be so rude.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and an unrealistic smile appeared on her face, "Congratulations, sir." The congratulatory message that followed, but I couldn't go on.

"Mother's and mother's joy." Shen Tong said, arching his hand at Jiang Ning.

Before Jiang Ning could ask about any rejoicing, the other party continued, "Niangniang is now taking advantage of the situation to protect the rest of the whole clan, which is really a great luck." ”

He still had a smile on his face, but his words were full of mockery.

The little anger that Jiang Ning had just pressed down in his heart rose again.

Shen Tong's oily face, along with Jiang Ning's bitter hatred of all the salt merchant families, was suddenly bloodied in front of her.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little unable to breathe.

Even Jiang Ning himself didn't realize that the hatred on his face was almost skyrocketing at this moment.

Since she was a child, Jiang Ning has hardly hated anyone, no matter what kind of contempt and beatings she has encountered, she can continue to live hard.

But now, she knows everything and sees the tragic end of those compatriots.

There's no way she can't complain, there's no way not to hate.

Seeing her like this, the smile on Shen Tong's face did not decrease but increased, as if he was looking at an ant that could be trampled to death anytime and anywhere, "Niangniang doesn't have to look at the old minister like this, the policy of the salt and iron official camp was issued by the emperor, even if the old minister doesn't do that, he will use other methods to eradicate these families, the old minister just acts on orders, and has no choice." ”

Jiang Ning felt that his heart was blocked.

When they were young, he and Pei Yu often liked to play a game, in which they searched for the burrows of ants on the ground, teased the ants out with the crumbs of steamed buns, and then grabbed all the ants that were lured out, put them on the leaves and put them on the stream to let them drift down the river.

The adventures of the ant family.

At that time, Jiang Ning and Pei Yu only thought it was funny to look at those ants.

But they never realized that the inadvertent actions of the two of them would cause the destruction of the group of ants.

Time has passed, and she found that she and Pei Yu have also become ants, just as stupid and ridiculous, and the same people are toyed with.

"Mother." The moment Jiang Ning was distracted, Shen Tong said with some seriousness, "You should also understand what kind of family identity you should have been, and now you don't expect you to complete the task, if you are sensible, you should leave this position that does not belong to you by yourself." ”

He leaned close to Jiang Ning suddenly, and his mouth opened and closed and let out a little warm air with a foul smell, "The higher you stand, the harder you fall, you should understand, you are a smart person, I don't think I need to say more." ”

With that, Shen Tong let out a sneer, turned around, and left slowly.

Jiang Ning stood in place, and in a trance, she seemed to see her soul out of her body, and quietly followed behind Shen Tong, stabbing a dagger into the other party's heart.

The night breeze picked up, and a snowflake was swept by the wind and landed on the tip of her nose.

The sudden coldness made him shiver subconsciously, and when he came back to his senses, it snowed again at night, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on the bottom of her eyes and eyebrows.

She only drank two cups of hot tea and one roasted corn at night, and now her body was stained with wind and snow, and it was even more bitterly cold.

Jiang Ning finally came back to her senses, and the reality was that she was standing in place, scattered all over the place.

After a while, the wind and snow above Jiang Ning's head gradually stopped, she was stunned, looked up, and saw Mu Jingzhao standing beside her.

"Why are you standing in the snow? You're not the kind of person who doesn't care about life or death for the sake of so-called romance. ”

Jiang Ning looked up at him, Mu Jingzhao's eyebrows were gentle, but his face was unfamiliar before.

Seeing that Jiang Ning did not answer, Mu Jingzhao continued to speak.

"Come back to the house with me to take shelter from the snow."

Jiang Ning did not refuse, and followed Mu Jingzhao into the hall in silence.

She just sat down in the hall now, Mu Jingzhao took a towel and handed it to her, she took it, wiped her hair that was wet because of the melting of ice and snow, and took a sip of the hot tea handed over by the other party, only then did she feel that her body temperature had risen slightly.

Mu Jingzhao saw that her face was pale, and her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, so he hurriedly took a piece of fur and put it on her, and reached out to probe the back of her hand, which was still cold.

Just as he was tempting, Jiang Ning's hand trembled and shrank back.

Such an inaudible position seemed to wake up Mu Jingzhao in an instant, he sat down beside Jiang Ning, and his face turned into the usual indifference again.

"You came to me today, what's the matter?"

Jiang Ning didn't seem to have recovered from that bitter coldness, she looked up at Mu Jingzhao, and there was a girl's unique ignorance and sluggishness on her face.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." She said very hard, and after a while, she was a little confused and said, "Discuss the agreement with the emperor." ”

Mu Jingzhao was stunned, as if he didn't understand what the other party's agreement was.

"The pact of assassination." Jiang Ning reminded softly.

This time, Mu Jingzhao was stunned.

He looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "What do you mean-"

The sloppiness in Jiang Ning's eyes gradually receded, the tremor in her voice had dissipated, and her tone was firm, "Now that the truth has been revealed, the emperor no longer needs this method to find out the real culprit and confuse the enemy." ”

Mu Jingzhao seemed to finally understand something, with a slightly injured look on his face, he exhaled slowly, and his voice trembled for a moment, "You mean, you're leaving here?" (End of chapter)
