Under Ning Ning's desperate begging... no, pitiful pleading, Shang Wenqi finally nodded mercifully.

Ning Ning was deeply moved and thought she would have to beg for a while longer.

Shang Wenqi took her towards the north, and Ning Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"You live... in the back?"

Theoretically, no matter who you are, you should live in front of the imperial city, right?

Although Ning Ning didn't know the exact location, the direction Shang Wenqi was going was exactly opposite to the direction she was planning to go.

Shang Wenqi didn't answer her, but just walked forward in silence.

Ning Ning was also used to this man's style of speaking more valuable than gold, so she quickly caught up with him, lifting her skirt.

The two walked along the outer perimeter of the palace wall. On the left were high palace walls and moats, and on the right was endless wilderness.

Ning Ning couldn't describe what this feeling was, but it was quite creepy late at night.

She had also strolled around the Forbidden City. Although the moat was retained outside the Forbidden City, the wilderness had long since been turned into high-rise buildings, and the crowds of people everywhere had completely dispelled the mysterious atmosphere of the wilderness.

Now, returning to the authentic ancient times, the creepy feeling cannot be described in just a few words.

Fortunately, she had Shang Wenqi ahead of her.

Ning Ning unconsciously quickened her pace to catch up with the 1.9-meter-tall man in front of her.

At night, the chirping of crickets and insects was endless. Ning Ning followed Shang Wenqi's shadow, chasing his footsteps, walking farther and farther away and becoming more and more desolate.

Just as Ning Ning was paying attention to her surroundings, a slightly cold voice came from the front.

"Have you figured out how to solve it?"

"Yeah." Ning Ning nodded subconsciously, and then realized that it was Shang Wenqi who was asking her.

Ning Ning was somewhat flattered: "Are you concerned about me?"

The person in front paused, turned his head slightly, and had contempt in his eyes.

The moon was exceptionally bright, and Shang Wenqi's disdain was completely seen by Ning Ning.

Ning Ning looked at the familiar look and understood immediately: "I see, you are asking this for your Lord... uh, our noble, right?"

She crossed her arms and said seriously, "Originally, this matter concerns my life, and I can't tell anyone even if I die. But since we are allies, I can tell you with reluctance."

Ning Ning said as she trotted forward a few steps to catch up with Shang Wenqi, then glanced around to make sure there was no one around before she spoke: "I'm going to go find someone."

"Zhou Jintao?"

"How did you know?" Ning Ning was surprised, but thinking that he was the left rider of Qingyun, there was probably nothing that could be hidden from him, so she smiled with relief: "If I'm lucky, the petition sent by my brother should be in the hands of Lord Zhou."

"If he really received the petition, he wouldn't have remained silent until now."

"No matter what, I have to go find him." Ning Ning sighed.

Shang Wenqi said nothing more.

Not long after, a mansion appeared in front of them. She subconsciously turned to the left and took a look, only to find that the palace wall had ended.

It is obvious that this mansion is behind the imperial palace, but it is not very majestic.

As she got closer, the plaque of the mansion came into view. She squinted her eyes and took a look. There were three big characters written on the plaque: "Qinwei Mansion"

Ning Ning's mind was spinning wildly, and for a moment she couldn't figure out where this place was or what it was used for.

As soon as Ning Ning began to have doubts, she immediately triggered the encyclopedia system that she had spent a huge amount of money to buy.

[The Imperial Guard Office here is probably similar to the Inner Guard Office. It is the only institution built behind the palace. It is usually a place for the Inner Guards, Secret Guards, Shadow Guards, etc. to take turns to rest. It is also set up here so that when encountering danger, the guards can enter the palace to provide support as soon as possible. ]

Ning Ning suddenly realized that she had come to Shang Wenqi's lair.

Speaking of which... since she can't get Shang Wenqi, can she consider poaching someone else?

After all, there are so many elites in the Imperial Guard. She can just find a few who are not so favored by the Queen Mother, right?

Just when Ning Ning was imagining recruiting Shang Wenqi's colleagues, Shang Wenqi turned around and gave her a cold look as if he had noticed something.

Ning Ning immediately stood at attention with a clear and innocent smile, as if to say that I am the kindest, most convenient and least troublesome little angel in the world.

Shang Wenqi's mouth twitched: "Wait a minute, you'd better behave yourself."

"Understood. I'll just stay with you for one night and I definitely won't cause you any trouble." Ning Ning raised three fingers and swore.

Shang Wenqi remained skeptical about this.

But he still took her in.

Speaking of which, this Royal Guard Mansion is really outrageous. Not only is there no guard, but the door is not even bolted. Shang Wenqi pushed the door and it opened immediately.

This action shocked Ning Ning.

The public security in Daliang is so good that people can even leave their doors unlocked at night!

Shang Wenqi smiled, but didn't smile, and only uttered four words: "Who dares to attack?"

"..." Ning Ning had nothing to say, there was nothing wrong with her.

Just like that, Ning Ning followed Shang Wenqi into the Imperial Guard Mansion.

It was very quiet inside at this time. You could see stone rockery, bamboo potted plants, etc. Even in the night, you could tell that the house was very quiet and the environment was very good.

Shang Wenqi turned left when he first entered the yard. Ning Ning didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful night view, so she could only lift her skirt to catch up with this straight man.

The Imperial Household Department was very large, and Shang Wenqi walked through many twists and turns and passed through an intricate garden.

As Ning Ning was walking, she suddenly felt a chill on her right side, and a murderous palm wind came whistling towards her.

She was stunned and subconsciously dodged by leaning sideways, but the man's palm missed her and he kicked her.

Ning Ning forgot that her feet only looked good but were useless, and her lower body was extremely unstable. She fell to the ground after being kicked from the side.

Just when Ning Ning was about to fall flat on her face, Shang Wenqi quickly hugged her, stepped out with his long legs and dodged away.

Just when Ning Ning was confused, Shang Wenqi suddenly covered her mouth, preventing her from making any sound.

"?"

Ning Ning was speechless, thinking to herself that you just came in without reporting, and got caught by the guards.

But what's the point of asking her to keep quiet? Now that she's been caught, can she still try to cover up her crime?

Ning Ning had all kinds of complaints in her heart, but she still cooperated on the surface. She blinked at Shang Wenqi to show that she would definitely not make a noise, and only then did Shang Wenqi let her go.

After Ning Ning landed, she rubbed her leg that was kicked and looked at the person who came. As a result, she saw an incredible scene.

There was indeed someone in the courtyard, but that person was wandering around the courtyard like a zombie, as if the attack on her just now was just a coincidence and accident.

???

Ning Ning was confused.

She thought he was a guard just now, but it turned out... he was sleepwalking?

No, Qingyun Zuoqi is known as the most powerful in the Zhennan Army, how come a person with problems got in? This is really difficult, isn't it?

Just when Ning Ning's face was full of question marks, Shang Wenqi had already carried her past the man and continued walking forward.
