Ni Pengcheng thought about it again and again, but decided to tell the truth.

Tang Zixi's life was at stake, and he didn't dare to have the slightest luck. The situation at this time is really not very good for the Tang family, the pearl of the palm, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for her to know more of the truth.

Tang Zixi seemed to have expected something, and said angrily: "I used to think that Prime Minister Qin Cheng was a broad-minded person, but I didn't expect to be so eager to repay him." It's just a marriage, and if it's ruined, it's ruined, what's the big deal. Could it be that Luoyang City still lacks people who want to marry the Qin family?"

"You're mistaken. Ni Pengcheng suddenly interrupted her, "This matter has nothing to do with the Qin family, although Prime Minister Qin really plans to ask the emperor to call the shots, but it is a step too late." ”

"Not the Qin family?"

Tang Zixi was a little stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "Could it be that I have offended other people? Gou Shangshu? No, I just beat his son, do you have such a big hatred?"

She was simple-minded, and once she confirmed that something had happened to the Tang Mansion, her first reaction was to think of the trouble she had caused. Although I think these reasons are a bit ridiculous, I don't think about other possibilities. Because those deceitful things are still too far away for the eldest lady of the Tang family, who has been well protected since childhood.

Ni Pengcheng looked at the girl who was thinking hard, and said carefully: "Before I left Luoyang, I heard that many officials impeached General Tang, and the reason seems to be related to the war in Mobei......"

"What does this have to do with Mobei?" Tang Zixi raised his head and said puzzledly, "This time, my father did not go out to fight because of his old illness, and the emperor only appointed the second brother as the deputy marshal." Could it be that something happened to the second brother?" As soon as she thought of this, she was a little flustered, she had always cared about the injured Li Ling, but she had forgotten Tang Qianli, who was the deputy marshal, which made her feel angry and even more guilty.

Ni Pengcheng shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but I know that something happened in Mobei." It all started with the fall of the old city......"

He really didn't hide it at all, and told Tang Zixi everything he knew. From the original situation of the Mobei War to the sneak attack of the enemy army in the old city. Because the incident was too sudden, the main army that had already gone out of the city to annihilate the enemy had no time to rescue them, resulting in heavy casualties among the defenders, and the Seventh Prince, who was the first soldier, was seriously injured and his life was in danger.

According to the informant, the reason for the fiasco of this battle of Mobei was all because the deputy marshal this time, Tang Qianli, the second son of the Tang family, colluded with the enemy army and cooperated with him inside and outside, which made Daqin completely defeated. Tang Qianli is certainly guilty of punishment, but the Tang family is also to blame. This is no longer simply the responsibility of defeat, but the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason!

He spoke very succinctly, and almost explained the cause and effect of the incident in a few words.

Tang Zixi was stunned when he heard the whole person, like a statue that did not move for a long time. She had already learned about the fiasco in Mobei from Su Jing, and she also knew about Li Ling's serious injury, but she never expected that this matter would be related to Tang Qianli, and it was serious enough to implicate the Tang family.

For so many years, no one has ever been able to shake the status of the Tang family in the emperor's mind. If it weren't for General Tang's insistence, he would have been named the first prince with a different surname in Great Qin. Although Tang Zixi didn't know the reason, the emperor's love for the Tang family was something known to the whole world. not only named Tang Mingru as the general who protects the country, but also pointed out Princess Yongning to Tang Mingru's second son Tang Qianli, and sent the most beloved seventh prince to the Tang Mansion.

Now, the Tang family will be implicated in the defeat of a war, and the stakes are not clear to others, and Tang Zixi, who is a son and daughter of the Tang family, does not know. In Ni Pengcheng's worried gaze, she suddenly raised her head and said unusually calmly: "Who does the emperor believe?"

is worthy of being a son and daughter of the Tang family, and he grasped the key to the matter at once. Ni Pengcheng couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart. No matter what others say, as long as the emperor believes in the innocence of the Tang family, then the Tang family is innocent.

He didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying, "There are still many ministers in the court who support General Tang, so the emperor is not very sure. ”

Tang Zixi glanced at him and said, "Many? Not necessarily." Looking at Ni Pengcheng's somewhat embarrassed look, she was not aggressive, but changed her words and said, "When did you receive your message?

Ni Pengcheng glanced at her and replied honestly: "I received the news five days ago that the emperor has sent the Tang family into the prison and waited for it to be released. But the lady is already trying to save her best, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Five days ago, didn't it happen to be the day I went back to the city with Brother Yun. Tang Zixi ignored his words, but muttered a repeat, suddenly looked up at Ni Pengcheng, and asked, "Could it be that I am the person the government was searching for that day?"

Ni Pengcheng was silent.

Tang Zixi smiled strangely and said, "No wonder Brother Yun deliberately disguised himself with me, at that time I thought he was inconvenient, it turned out to be because of me." Speaking of this, he looked at Ni Pengcheng and said, "Brother Yun was specially sent by you to find me, right?"

At this time, she fully understood why Yunxiu would appear so coincidentally in Guxi Village to save her, and be so kind to take her back to the city. It turned out that it was because she had become a prisoner of the imperial court. It's just that this truth came a little late, and it was a little difficult for her to accept.

This time, Ni Pengcheng did not evade, but nodded and said, "I asked Brother Yun to find your whereabouts." ”

Tang Zixi exhaled lightly and said, "Okay, you take me to Brother Jing, I have something I want to ask him face-to-face." ”

Ni Pengcheng was a little frightened by her calmness, and said uncertainly: "Didn't you say that you should go and join Xiaofei and them first?"

Tang Zixi did not answer, but turned around and walked forward, with firm steps and a calm back, at this moment she suddenly did not have the previous weakness and hesitation, but had more heroism and decisiveness of the daughter of the gate.

Ni Pengcheng looked at her thin and thin back, and his heart was full of guilt. Just now what he told her was the news he received at the beginning, just yesterday, Concubine Shuniang had passed the latest news to him through Jin Wuwei's special channel - the Tang family, which used to be infinitely beautiful, no longer exists!

He beckoned to the man in front of him and whispered a few words to him, and then quickly followed Tang Zixi, who was in a hurry, and said, "I'll take you faster." ”

Tang Zixi glanced at him and did not refuse, but stretched out his hand.

Ni Pengcheng grabbed her arm and flew away with her.

The trees and houses that keep receding are like lanterns on the Lantern Festival, passing by quickly. The wind, without warning, blew up. Fallen leaves flutter and hover in the air. As soon as it landed on the heads and clothes of pedestrians, it was swept up by the next gust of wind and drifted into the distance, and there was no way to stay.

On the way, I met many soldiers in full armor, and when I saw the two of them running around the city without any intention of checking them, some people even saluted the two from a distance.

Ni Pengcheng took her all the way to a magnificent mansion on the bank of the Ningjiang River and stopped, and said to the soldier guarding the door: "Please pass the word, Ni Pengcheng asks to see the Ten Princes!"

Hearing this, the soldier guarding the door quickly moved out of the way, and one of the bearded soldiers bowed down and said, "The prince has already ordered, Ni Shaodu does not need to pass it on, please!"

Ni Pengcheng nodded, and pulled Tang Zixi towards the door.

The bearded soldier glanced at the girl with a blank look on his face, and was about to stretch out his hand to stop it, but was pulled by the soldier next to him.

Ni Pengcheng sensed the movements of the two and glanced at them coldly.

The soldier who pulled the man hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "The prince is in the pavilion!" The bearded soldier also smiled.

When the two of them entered the door, the bearded soldier said dissatisfiedly: "What are you pulling me for?"

The soldier who pulled the man cautiously glanced at the two who had disappeared into the courtyard, and said in a low voice, "Do you think this girl is very similar?"

"Like what?" the bearded soldier clearly didn't understand.

The soldier who pulled him lifted his chin at a wanted notice posted not far away.

The bearded soldier followed his gaze, suddenly reacted, and exclaimed, "She is Tang ......"

"Shhhhhh Let's just pretend we didn't see it. ”

The bearded man turned his head and glanced in the direction where the two had disappeared, nodded with great approval, and said in a low voice: "It won't implicate our prince, right?"

The soldier who pulled the man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? Anyway, we just have to do our duty as errands, and the matter of arresting the Qin prisoners should be left to those officials." ”

The bearded soldier nodded in agreement, and stood up straight again, looking dutiful.

Ni Pengcheng's figure suddenly paused, and he frowned slightly.

Tang Zixi turned his head to look at him and said, "What's wrong?"

Ni Pengcheng shook his head and said, "It's okay!" but he snorted coldly in his heart, secretly wrote down the two mouthy soldiers, turned his head to Tang Zixi and said, "You wait for me here for a while." ”

Tang Zixi nodded and obediently stayed put.

Ni Pengcheng walked briskly forward, through a long corridor to a flowery garden.

"It's really Cao Cao Cao arrived, this king just told everyone about you, and you arrived. Peng Cheng, you are really not interesting, when you arrive in Liangzhou, you don't come to see this king first, aren't you afraid that this king will punish you?"

A hearty voice came from the garden, accompanied by a burst of laughter.

Ni Pengcheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and strode forward.

As soon as Fang stepped into the moon gate, he saw a few people sitting in the pavilion not far away, one in the middle was wearing a purple gold crown and a gold silk trimmed robe, it was Li Ji, the king of Deyang, he looked at Ni Pengcheng who was standing at the door, and said with a smile: "What are you doing there, don't come over quickly." ”

Ni Pengcheng smiled slightly, saluted and said: "Ni Pengcheng, the young commander of the left wing army of the Weichen Iron Blood Battalion, see the Ten Princes!"

Li Ji frowned slightly and said, "Get up!"

The few people sitting next to each other felt the change in the mood of the Ten Princes, and couldn't help exchanging a meaningful look, their eyes silently colliding and communicating in the air, as if they were guessing what was going on. Only a young man wearing a mask did not look around, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and slowly put it into his mouth.
