Seeing this group of officials gradually walking away, Ye Ningxiang carefully opened the door and prepared to escape with Wei Xun, only to hear the sharp voice of the eunuch not far away.

"The emperor has arrived!"

This sound shocked Ye Ningxiang in a cold sweat, and she didn't even want to snap and close the door that had just been opened, and she didn't even dare to peek outside.

"Brother Wei, what should we do?"

"Wait, there's a chance to get out. ”

Mu Jingyuan's mind also didn't put on Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun, but he passed by this room and hurried towards the meeting hall.

Seeing that the surroundings were calm again, Ye Ningxiang cautiously opened the door again, and after making sure that no one had found it, she fled from the scene of the crime with Wei Xun one foot at a time.

On the way back to the Inspection Division, Ye Ningxiang was always puzzled in her heart, why did Mu Jingyuan suddenly come to the military department in the middle of the night, this kind of practice is simply unreasonable, could it be that something big happened in the court suddenly?

After doubting for a long time and not answering, Ye Ningxiang shifted all her thoughts to the record document she had just stolen.

There are not many documents and papers that record the battle of Wuling, and the content of the entire battle is not recorded in great detail.

"I think either the person in charge of recording the document is too bad, or he is deliberately hiding something, you see that this content is too general, I can't understand what he meant!"

Wei Xun smiled and comforted: "Ning Xiang, don't worry, can you see the list of soldiers who participated in the battle after this record?"

The last page of the document does contain the names of seven men, but it is not indicated whether they were survivors of the Battle of Ulling.

It's better to find out than not to find out, Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun rested for a few hours, and came to the household department early the next morning to inquire about the household registration information of these seven people.

The household servant is considered to be Wei Xun's close friend, and he is naturally extremely concerned about Ye Ningxiang's entrustment, but it is really difficult to find these seven people who don't know if they are survivors from the tens of millions of people who have left the country.

Although her heart was anxious, Ye Ningxiang still had to go back to the palace to sit and wait for the news from the household department.

The streets of Yong'an on this day are not as peaceful as they are on weekdays, and Ye Ningxiang always feels that there is a tense atmosphere everywhere, which makes people feel depressed and unhappy. Soon, Ye Ningxiang knew from the mouths of the people the reason why they were so abnormal.

It turned out that two days ago, Mu Jinghong, the long-disappeared Duanwang, and King Yu, who had just been convicted, suddenly rebelled, but in two days, four cities in the southeast of the country had fallen into the hands of Mu Jinghong.

The plague of the plague had already caused panic among the people, and now the sudden rebellion broke out even more heartbreaking for the people. Before Duanwang became a big climate, the people already had a sense of the ruin of the country and the death of the family in advance, and their expressions were hurried, their faces were solemn, and they looked like they were ready to flee.

Ye Ningxiang let out a long sigh, couldn't bear to continue to look at this sad scene, and hurried back to King Ning's mansion.

In the past few days, Ye Ningxiang has devoted all her thoughts to overturning the case for her father, and her concern for Mu Xize has naturally been left behind.

Seeing this person who disappeared in his world for four whole days, Mu Xize flew to Ye Ningxiang, as if he had been greatly wronged, hugged Ye Ningxiang and didn't let go, and kept calling "lady" in his mouth, as if he was afraid that Ye Ningxiang would abandon him.

"Okay, okay, Xi Ze, I'm not back, I promise you, I won't leave you for so long in the future!"

"Miss Ningxiang. ”

Haitang walked up to Ye Ningxiang with a smile, with a tired look on her face. Ye Ningxiang guessed that it must be Mu Xize who was messing around in front of Begonia because of her absence, not letting Begonia rest well, and looking at Begonia's eyes was full of guilt.

"I ...... I'm going to Shuozhou. ”

Although Begonia is laughing, her smile is full of sadness, which makes people feel distressed unconsciously.

"The emperor ordered the general to guard Shuozhou and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. Tomorrow, too, I will go with the general. ”

"My sister is pregnant now, it will be difficult to go to Shuozhou, why do you need to go with General Lin to make him worried?"

"The general is a man who lives on the tip of a knife, and I don't want him to fight alone, and when he dies, he doesn't even have his own people by his side. You may think that my approach is unreasonable, but if I can't always be by the general's side, life doesn't mean much to me. ”

Haitang knew that her company might become a burden to Lin Shicheng, and she also knew that it was really reluctant to go to Shuozhou with a body like her. However, there is no self-sacrifice in her heart, there is no national righteousness, she only knows that every separation with Lin Shicheng may be the final goodbye, and the best thing to do is to never part with him.

Lin Shicheng didn't allow her to follow, so she went alone, Lin Shicheng wanted to grounded her in the mansion, so she simply ran to Ning Wangfu to live permanently, in short, she recognized the man, she had to stalk and entangle to the end, and never give up.

"Besides, as long as I am with me, the general can always return triumphantly, and everyone in the army says that I am a lucky star sent by God to protect the Dali army!"

Haitang smiled, with a hint of pride in her eyes, as if she was intoxicated and happy for the years that had been with Lin Shicheng.

If a woman is stubborn, even if she puts a knife on her neck, she will not change her mind in the slightest. Ye Ningxiang knew that no matter how much she persuaded her to stay in Jing'an, it would be redundant, so she no longer stopped and instructed the cook Ah Kang to prepare a table of good wine and good food for the begonia.

On the second day, Lin Shicheng tearfully bid farewell to Begonia and went to Shuozhou, and Begonia packed up his bags on the back foot, and took a maid to Shuozhou in the carriage prepared by Ye Ningxiang.

There is a quaint farmhouse on the outskirts of Jing'an, and the chickens in the fence yard are flapping their wings and running and jumping wantonly, dyed and dyed with cooking smoke and the air, revealing a tranquil and simple farmhouse atmosphere.

Xiao Qingyu is now in this farmhouse, and the violent rise and fall of his chest and the sweat on his cheeks show his hard work along the way. Regardless of his manners, he poured out a large bowl of boiled water and drank it all.

"If you don't come here to look for me with that silk silk, I am afraid that the plan you and your father have been planning for more than ten years will be in vain! The imperial doctor said that the emperor's illness is only a matter of one or two months, and I am afraid that before you have time to plan, the world will fall into the pockets of others. ”

After calming his breath a little, Xiao Qingyu returned to his previous calm and relaxed posture and said, "Isn't the emperor still dead, why can't Lord Feng hold his breath?"

"My father asked me to tell my son that if you don't get to leave the country within two months, he will give up his support for you. ”

Xiao Qingyu smiled, but there was a chill on his face that he had never felt before, "I, Xiao Qingyu, have never been threatened by anyone, Feng Jingzhi wants to turn his head to support the prince, you can just abandon me, there is no need to send you, a hairy boy, to threaten me." ”

This son of the Feng family has been blessed by his father, Feng Jingzhi, the prime minister of Ruiguo, for many years, where has he ever seen Xiao Qingyu, who was as docile as a kitten, show such a terrifying aura today, and froze there speechless for a while.

Xiao Qingyu stood up, smiled and patted the shoulder of the Feng family's son, his eyes were gentle as water, as pure and harmless as the brother next door, "Brother Yi, don't worry, even if my father dies early, I will never let my mediocre eldest brother sit firmly on the throne." ”

"Gong ...... Childe better seize the moment, I ...... I'll take my leave. ”

Feng Yi barely finished saying this, and left in a hurry without looking back. Xiao Qingyu's face here was terrifyingly cold, and he only heard the pleasant sound of porcelain colliding, and the porcelain bowl he used to drink water before was smashed by him.

"Feng Jingzhi, Feng Jingzhi. ”

Gritting his teeth, he said Feng Jingzhi's name twice in a row in a voice that couldn't be lower, and Xiao Qingyu flicked his sleeves and left the farmhouse.

Mo Xiaoqin still lived in the palace, and Begonia also left Jing'an, and for a while Ning Wangfu became quiet, and even a little depressed. Not only looking forward to the household department being able to give the survivors a hiding place, but also worried about the rebellion of Duanwang, who was inseparable from Xiao Qingyu, for many days, Ye Ningxiang's heart has always been up and down, and he is uneasy.

It has been nearly a month since Ye Ningxiang handed over the list of seven people to the household department, and under the influence of Duanwang's rebellion, the household department is extremely busy like the other five departments. The matter of checking people is already very complicated, and when encountering such a complicated situation, it has not been possible to give Ye Ningxiang a definite answer after so long.

Fortunately, with Mu Xize, a grinding spirit, always by his side, and seeing his mind gradually recover, Ye Ningxiang's life was also full and comfortable.

When Wei Xun broke into King Ning's mansion, Ye Ningxiang was teaching Mu Xize to write hand-in-hand, but the effect was very small, and in the whole morning, Mu Xize only learned one word, one, two, three, four. But it's better to learn one than nothing, Ye Ningxiang always comforted herself like this in her heart.

Looking at Wei Xun's rare hurried demeanor, Ye Ningcai thought that the matter of human evidence had a result, leaving Mu Xize and running to Wei Xun's side.

"But what happened to that?"

"Yes, it has been verified that only one of the seven people is still alive now, I heard that because of the battle of Wuling, I was stimulated, and I talked crazy all day long, and I was taken back to my hometown by my family seven years ago to recuperate. ”

"Where's his hometown?"

"Shuozhou. ”

Shuozhou, I didn't expect it to be the place where Lin Shicheng was stationed, some time ago I persuaded Haitang not to go to Shuozhou, but I didn't expect that now she herself is going to Shuozhou.

"The man's name is Zheng Quan, and he is about thirty-six or seventeen years old, and this is a portrait drawn by the painter in my palace according to the description of someone who has seen Zheng Quan before. ”

Ye Ningxiang happily took the portrait in Wei Xun's hand, but she didn't notice that Wei Xun at this time had a melancholy look on his face and a solemn expression.

"Ning Xiang, now that the direction of Shuozhou is in turmoil, I really can't rest assured that you will go to Shuozhou alone. ”

Originally, Wei Xun wanted to go to Shuozhou with Ye Ningxiang to find out, but he was afraid that the two of them would startle the snake, so he finally gave up the idea of going to Shuozhou.

Ye Ningxiang smiled, looked at Mu Xize, who was standing on the side stupidly, and said, "Who said that I am alone, I still have him! Brother Wei, you can rest assured, just stay here with peace of mind and wait for my good news." ”
