When the news reached the palace, Ning Rongzhang suddenly stood up and overturned the tea on the table. "Where is Li Huaixiang?"

"Miss Li is outside. She is injured. We have asked the doctor in the mansion to come." Ah San swallowed and pointed outside the door.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Rongzhang's figure was nowhere to be seen. "Hey - Your Majesty!"

Outside the house, Li Huaixiang's lips were pale, she was covering her right arm, layers of cold sweat seeping out of her forehead.

"Oh, Miss Li, your wound needs to be bandaged..." The doctor in the mansion looked like a young man, carrying a medicine box to bandage Li Huaixiang, who dodged quickly. Both of them were very stubborn. Neither of them was willing to give in.

"I said there's no need to bandage it now - Ah Shu has been kidnapped, how could I have the mood to..." Before he could finish his words, the door suddenly opened and Ning Rongzhang came out like the wind.

Following behind him was Ah San.

"Where are the people? Where are they?"

Li Huaixiang said, "There are a dozen men in black at Xiangshan on the outskirts of the city. Although I can't see their faces clearly, I think they are Prince Wu's men. They are good at using scimitars."

Ning Rongzhang's face tensed up, "Asan, take people to surround Xiangshan. They can't run far. Search every house in the manor within a few miles!"

Ning Er rushed over after receiving the news, and met Ning Rongzhang's face which was as black as the bottom of a pot. The strange darkness in his eyes brought out his hostility to the extreme.

Ning Er knew he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head and dared not breathe. He watched the pair of black brocade shoes pass by him. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the man's voice, so cold that it could freeze ice chips, suddenly rang out, "Why don't you catch up!"

He mounted his horse, stretched out his hand to take the sword that Ah San threw to him, clamped his legs around the horse's legs, and ran away.

Ning Er and Asan looked at each other, then jumped on their horses swiftly and followed along with a dozen people around them.

Li Huaixiang covered his injured arm and tried to follow him, but his left wrist was suddenly grabbed and he staggered. “What are you doing?!”

Fan Ruo pointed at her wound and said, "You are injured. If they go, they will go. If you go, won't it just cause trouble? Why, don't you believe that the prince can rescue the people?"

Li Huaixiang narrowed his eyes and thought for a few moments, but still wanted to follow him. Ah Shu would definitely be scared if he was alone...

Fan Rong didn't give the person a chance to think, and directly took the person's hand and walked into the house, "Miss Li, how about you, please don't follow and cause trouble, okay?"

Look at this person's tone.

at that time

In Xiangshan, a pair of men and horses have quickly sneaked in. The mountain is not high and the terrain is not steep. It only stretches for dozens of miles, so it is easy to hide dozens of people.

But since Prince Wu kidnapped someone, he must have set conditions...so it is impossible to hide in a very secret place...

"Master... according to Miss Li's description, this is the man in black we met here."

The trickling of the nearby creek made a pleasant sound. When Ning Rongzhang's silver scabbard pushed aside the grass, traces of blood could be seen. The field was a little messy, and there were several signs of dragging.

Ning Rongzhang waved his hand, and his men looked in all directions.

There was a rustling sound coming from the high rocks. Four or five archers tightened their bowstrings. Ning Rongzhang raised his eyes and quickly stepped back.

"My dear nephew, how are you?"

Prince Wu propped one leg on the rock wall, looking down from a high vantage point, and took the lead in occupying an advantageous geographical location.

"Uncle, you burned down the meeting hall that day and ran out in a hurry. Have you forgotten that most of your trusted aides are in my hands? Even General Zheng, do you not want him to live?"

Ning Rongzhang's eyes were fierce. Where was the appearance of the idle prince he used to be?

Speaking of Zheng Xiong, Prince Wu's eyes finally showed a ripple. Zheng Xiong was a man from Prince Wu's fiefdom. He had an outstanding physique since childhood and was a good hand at wielding swords and guns. He secretly followed Prince Wu to train the army in the fiefdom.

He is his great contributor and also his relative and friend.

Unfortunately, he was now outwitted by Ning Rongzhang and imprisoned in prison.

"Ning Rongzhang, you are so calculating. You pretend to be nonchalant, but in fact you have been thinking about rebelling against the king for a long time. You deliberately surrendered to me and let me bear the crime of treason and endure the curses of the world..."

"Wait!" Ning Rongzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at him teasingly, as if he was looking at a fool. "Uncle, what you said is not right. It's a rebellion, but it doesn't mean that only you can do it. Besides, didn't uncle know that he had to endure the infamy when he rebelled from the beginning? You, on the other hand, killed all the historians of this dynasty. I was just going with the flow..."

"You are reaping the benefits while others are still the ones who profit from it!" Prince Wu roared, gritting his teeth, as if he wished he could cut Ning Rongzhang into pieces right now.

The corners of his lips were raised nonchalantly, and it was hard to figure out his expression, which made people feel suffocated.

Prince Wu waved his hand, and the two people beside him directly brought Ji Mengshu out of the cave, "I tell you, don't be too proud, this beauty of the Ji family is in my hands now... At the palace banquet, you let this young lady of the Ji family pretend to be a maid, do you think I forgot?"

"Heh." Ning Rongzhang spread his hands. "Uncle has a good memory. The identity of the Ji family girl is indeed extraordinary. If something happens to her, it will be difficult for me to explain to her brother."

It was Ning Rongzhang who suggested that Ji Yuanzheng send troops to attack the barbarians. Thinking about it now, Prince Wu regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Ji Mengshu, with her hands tied, looked up at the sky speechlessly, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. She was just the daughter of an official, no different from the thousands of noble ladies in the capital, so why did all the bad things happen to her?

Be sure to check the almanac before going out next time, Ji Mengshu warned herself secretly.

"She's your woman, why don't you care about her?" Prince Wu looked at his indifferent look and doubted for the first time whether Ji Mengshu was so useful and why he didn't seem to be important enough in Ning Rongzhang's heart...

"Uncle... I have said it before, I was with her before just because I wanted her brother to be useful to me, now she unfortunately died here... I am deeply sorry for this... Uncle, don't you know that compared with the great cause of the world and a woman, I believe everyone would choose the former..."

Ji Mengshu bit the handkerchief in her mouth tightly and thought to herself, Ning Rongzhang, Ning Rongzhang, you and I are acquainted after all, how can you hate me so much?

There was no room for negotiation at all. He seemed to wish she would die here.

Suddenly, he felt an icy touch on his neck. Ji Mengshu opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the scenery of Xiangshan with a look of despair.

With beautiful mountains and clear water, it can be said to be a good place to call home.

Thinking about how Ji Mengshu lived two lives, and ended up being killed...
