The two of them quickly left the city one after the other, but Su Jing had no intention of stopping until he came to a wide clearing.

He looked at the surroundings before nodding with satisfaction: "This place has a wide view, so let's talk about it here." ”

Ni Pengcheng then stopped beside him, and as soon as his feet stood still, he hurriedly said, "What's going on?"

Su Jing didn't talk nonsense this time, and threw out a token with a flip.

Ni Pengcheng stretched out his hand to catch it, took it in his hand and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Death-free gold medal? Where did you get it?" This is something that can save his life at a critical moment, he doesn't believe that Su Jing alone can get this death-free gold medal, even if he is favored by the saint again.

Since the founding of the country, Great Qin has given less than ten pieces in total, and most of them are in the hands of the descendants of those founding heroes. Even Taishi Ni, who is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, doesn't have it, let alone Su Jing is just a close guard.

Su Jing said lightly: "The lady gave it to the lady!"

"Concubine Niangniang!" Ni Pengcheng opened his mouth in shock.

This is what Ni Pengcheng doesn't know, in fact, in addition to those founding heroes, the current saint also gave two in the early years, one was naturally given to Tang Mingru who helped him win the throne, and the other was given to Shangguan Yunrou, the concubine who was deeply favored by him.

Su Jing walked to the cliff not far away with his hands behind his back, looked at the continuous mountains under the mountain, and said lightly: "To be precise, the Seventh Prince asked for it from Concubine Niangniang." ”

Ni Pengcheng walked quickly to his side and said in surprise: "Could it be that the Seventh Prince has already woken up?" That Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi ......" His tone trembled slightly, obviously extremely excited in his heart.

The ups and downs of life came so suddenly, Ni Pengcheng, who was still worried and uneasy a moment ago, suddenly felt that he had a backbone. It is no wonder that he has always been stable and out of shape, in his opinion, if Li Ling can wake up at this time, with the emperor's favor for him, there is absolutely no problem in saving Tang Zixi's life. At the same time, his Ni family's two-percent military power can be regarded as preserving it in disguise. Although he was tough in front of Li Ji before, he still felt guilty in the end, and it was naturally better not to involve the interests of the family, in the final analysis, he was only the heir of the Ni family, not the one in power. Therefore, whether Li Ling wakes up or not, directly involves the interests of everyone.

However, Su Jing's next words were like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, so that Ni Pengcheng didn't say anything for a long time.

"He hasn't woken up yet! This was given to me by himself when he was in Mobei!"

The wind at the top of the mountain seemed to be unusually strong, blowing his clothes constantly fluttering, just as he was in a chaotic mood.

After a long time, Ni Pengcheng Fang said with difficulty: "So, the Seventh Prince already knew?"

"Who knows?" Su Jing suddenly sighed faintly: "However, this death-free gold medal can be used or try not to use it." After all, you and I are both courtiers, who can really understand the heart of the emperor. Therefore, it may not be a good thing to be overly favored!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Ni Pengcheng, who had a bitter expression, and continued, "You dared to use the Ni family's military power in exchange before, Su really admired Ni Shaodu's courage." ”

Ni Pengcheng's cold sweat broke out instantly, and the words 'Emperor's Heart' kept echoing in his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly said: "It's all because I'm in a hurry and didn't think it through." I don't know if there is any way to remedy it? Please ask Brother Su for advice!" At this time, Ni Pengshao was completely out of order, and his eyes looking at Su Jing were full of expectation and panic.

Su Jing said lightly: "You don't have to worry too much, now that the Tang family is gone, your Ni family and the Shangguan family are the important ministers that the emperor has to rely on." In the past two years, there have been many wars, and he still needs you to fight for him, so he will not deal with you in a short time. ”

Ni Pengcheng thought about it, and then he relaxed a little, and said: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise, if I really hurt the Ni family, I will really die and will not be able to atone." ”

Su Jing waved his hand and said, "You're wrong." I can think of it, and Taishi Ni naturally wants to think about it, I'm afraid that I have already had a way to deal with it. Why should you worry about it? I just want to remind you that you should be more careful in the future. ”

Ni Pengcheng said thoughtfully: "What Brother Su said is true, Ni should be more careful in his actions in the future, and he will not do such a reckless thing as today." ”

Su Jing nodded, turned his gaze to the maple forest that had begun to turn red, and said a clueless word, "Autumn is here!"

He said this pun, Ni Pengcheng suddenly understood the deep meaning of his words, a sad color appeared on his face, and he said bitterly: "I hope we still have time to rush back to Luoyang!"

Su Jing turned to look into his eyes and said, "Brother Ni, are you really willing to risk your future, or even your life, for her?"

Ni Pengcheng smiled bitterly: "Now that it's over, why do you bother to ask." And haven't we already discussed it before? When the official war starts and there is chaos, the Ten Princes will cooperate with us and wait for the opportunity to rescue Xiaoxi, and then you will take her away. ”

"The previous plan is no longer working. Su Jing shook his head and said, "The Ten Princes have been secretly monitored, and there is no way to cooperate with our actions. So this time we're on our own. ”

Ni Pengcheng was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel that something is not right today." Could it be the emperor?"

Su Jing nodded and said, "Moreover, I also feel that I am being watched." ”

Ni Pengcheng's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he said, "Is it too?"

Su Jing shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." Although I haven't fought him head-on, I'm sure he didn't go all the way with the people who were spying on the Ten Princes. So, I suspect that there is another force in the shadows, but I haven't figured out their intentions yet, so it's not easy to deal with them for the time being. By the way, I got something by accident. After saying that, he took out something in the shape of a scroll from his bosom.

Ni Pengcheng took it and took a look at it, and said: "It's just an ordinary landscape painting, neither a famous spot nor a famous master's work, what's so strange?"

Su Jing glanced at him and said lightly, "You took it backwards!"

"Oh!"

Ni Pengcheng suddenly blushed, hurriedly turned the scroll in his hand upside down, and raised his eyes again. This time he finally saw a little eyebrows, and vaguely felt that the mountains in the painting seemed to have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and he raised his head and was about to ask, when he suddenly found that Su Jing, who was still by his side, was gone.

He hurriedly turned around and looked around, and finally saw Su Jing in fluttering clothes on a rocky protruding from the distance. Although he had known for a long time that Su Jing's martial arts were strong, he would not have been accepted by the emperor as a close guard. But he has never had a bottom on how high the other party's martial arts are. Only then did Su Jing leave from him silently, he didn't even notice it, if the other party wanted to be unfavorable to him, wouldn't it be like picking up something.

Thinking of this, Ni Pengcheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he knew that the other party had no other thoughts about him, but he was determined to improve his martial arts.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of coming back, Ni Pengcheng had no choice but to walk over.

When he approached, Su Jing suddenly said, "Look!"

Ni Pengcheng followed his gaze and saw a group of people climbing with difficulty on the edge of the cliff in the distance. The mountain road is already narrow, and it is already very difficult to walk on it, and the group of people not only carry sacks, but also lead mules and horses with the same sacks, which multiplies the danger factor, and the slightest mistake will roll down the deep valley.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Where are they going?"

Su Jing didn't answer, but changed his words and asked, "Do you know who the guard of Boryeong City is now?"

Ni Pengcheng hummed and said, "I know! Now the guard will be Peng Di, the eldest grandson of Mrs. Peng." ”

"Exactly!" Su Jing nodded, and then said, "Then do you know who Peng Di's wife is?"

"This ......" Ni Pengcheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, this involves other people's family affairs, and it involves female dependents, it is indeed not convenient for the two of them to discuss.

Just when he hesitated, he only heard Su Jing say lightly: "Tang Wanru, General Tang Mingru's only surviving cousin, Tang Zixi's aunt." ”

As soon as he said this, Ni Pengcheng didn't understand what he meant, but this reason was not only a bit far-fetched, but also a little absurd. He didn't want to believe it anyway, and said tentatively: "Taifu Peng is the emperor of the two dynasties, and he is a square person, and he attaches great importance to the name of loyalty and righteousness. Peng Di was taught by him personally, so he shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

"Hmm!" Su Jing didn't mean to answer, just looked into the distance in a daze.

Ni Pengcheng couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and then asked, "Could it be that the problem is Mrs. Peng?"

"If my expectations are correct, Mrs. Peng should have arrived in Boryeong. Su Jing suddenly came out of nowhere.

"What?" Ni Pengcheng almost dropped his jaw in shock, and said in disbelief, "Mrs. Peng is afraid that he is also ninety years old this year, and he will actually travel thousands of miles...... Could it be that Peng Di really planned to save General Tang's family? Mrs. Peng came to stop it?"

Su Jing glanced at him inexplicably and said, "When did I say that Peng Di was going to save General Tang?"

Ni Pengcheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he was a little impetuous, and he didn't seem to have enough brains when he was alone with Su Jing. So he coughed lightly and said, "Could it be that Mrs. Peng is here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"

Su Jing didn't sell Guan Zi and replied: "Mrs. Peng is just one of the entourages who went to Boryeong this time. The person who really came was Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Ni Pengcheng was stunned and said, "The princess is less than ten years old, how can the queen mother rest assured that she will leave the palace?"

Su Jing glanced at him strangely and said, "Brother Ni, what's wrong with you today? Have you forgotten Princess Yongning?"

Ni Pengcheng was speechless suddenly, his lips squirmed twice, and he really didn't know how to answer, so he had to bow his head and cough lightly.
