Dingjiangshan

Ning Zheng felt that his time had come.

He has not been in the capital all year round, and his understanding of Ning Yan is limited to those cold square characters in the correspondence.But as a matter of personal consideration, he actually thought about the countless times he would fight Ning Yan.He had imagined a thousand possibilities for this, but none of them were like the current situation.

Ning Zheng never thought that Ning Yan could really be so hot-headed for a man to this point.

It was just to avenge Ning Huaijin and make Ning Yan crazy. Even Ning Zheng didn't know whether he should be happy that Ning Yan was confused, or that he was ridiculous.

Ning Zheng previously thought that the letter of "Yinghuo Shouxin" was a trap set by Ning Yan to trick him into sending troops, but now he is not so sure.

——Maybe it's true, Ning Zheng suddenly thought, maybe that "Yinghuo Shouxin" refers not to Ruan Yin's poisoning in Beijing, but to the battlefield.

Ning Zheng twirled the wine glass in his hand, looked down at the crystal clear wine inside, and thought to himself who could tell the fate.

What's more, if the destiny is not the destiny, it is also a matter of people.

Ning Zheng drank the wine in his glass and asked, "Is Jing Zhan settled down?"

"It's been picked up. When I entered the city, I made sure that there was no tail behind me." The subordinate standing under the hall clasped his hands and said, "He didn't have any sharp weapons such as swords on him, but after entering the city, our people wanted to search, but they were caught by him." Rejected... The subordinate thought that he was from Kunlun after all, so it would be too rude, so he first invited him into the city defense camp, thinking about asking the prince before making any plans."

Ning Zheng twisted the wine glass in his hand, pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said: "Then there is no need to search, he came alone with empty hands to show his favor, it shows that he intends to be used by the king, and he must always give him face .”

"What's more, the people in Kunlun are very evil. It's better not to provoke them." Ning Zheng said.

Ning Zheng still remembers that Ruan Yin had just returned from the imperial temple three years ago, and it coincided with the approaching of the holy birthday, so she wanted to use this as a name to make a big fuss, and also increase the prestige of her queen mother. Show your face.

Ning Yan didn't say anything at that time, but Jing Zhan, who seldom went out on weekdays, went to court for the first time, and handed in a note in front of civil and military officials, saying that the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday was not good, and it happened that the stars in the sky shifted. The day of the banquet and so on.He said a lot in a vague way, in short, he meant that he could not arrange banquets, otherwise it would be disrespectful and would cause dissatisfaction in the heavens.

At that time, Ruan Yin only thought that this was Ning Yan's method of suppressing her with celestial phenomena, so she naturally refused to give in. She insisted on using the empress dowager's money, and contacted a group of officials and clan relatives to submit a petition, saying that it was the empress dowager's birthday. The big thing is not good but too dull, otherwise people all over the world will say that His Majesty is not filial.

Ning Yan didn't care about this at all, and was annoyed by them, so he simply shook his hands and left this matter to Ruan Yin to decide on his own, saying that everything depends on Ruan Yin's wishes.

For the sake of her face, Ruan Yin naturally wanted to do it in a lively manner.But that day was also an evil one. The dinner had just reached the middle of the night, and at the time when it was lively, there was a sudden thunder and lightning in the sky, and the strong wind blew up. It didn't take a stick of incense for a heavy rain to fall from the sky. It was a mess.

Shengshou couldn't go on, Ruan Yin was annoyed but she couldn't do it, so she could only hastily accept the birthday gifts and wrap up the birthday banquet hastily.

If it's just a rainstorm, it's nothing more than a coincidence.But the rain lasted for seven whole days, from daytime to nighttime, without a moment's rest, and the capital almost caused a disaster.

In the end, it was Jing Zhan who came out of the National Teacher's Mansion by himself, took two followers to the observatory, and did what he did, and the rain slowly stopped.

Since that day, no one inside or outside the court dared to underestimate this young "National Teacher", always holding the mood of believing what he has or not, and never dared to refute him.

Ning Zheng wanted to be big, so naturally he would only be more afraid of these ghosts and gods, and even gave Jing Zhan a three-point courtesy of Jing Zhan's name.

"Clean up." Ning Zheng ordered: "Invite him in, just say that it's not easy for him to come from such a long distance, and I will hold a banquet for him to clean up the dust."

Jiang Ling was not at all surprised by Ning Zheng's impatience.

At home, she heard Jiang Xiaohan mention that Ning Zheng was very ambitious and lacking in strategy. While thinking about "bearing humiliation" and returning to the top, she refused to really put down her airs to respect the corporal.

That's why after hearing Jing Zhan's name, he refused to greet her in person, but couldn't wait to hang out with her for a few days, so he planned to invite her to a banquet that night.

Jiang Ling lowered his eyes halfway, smoothed a little wrinkle on the sleeves of his robe lightly, hummed to the subordinate who came to pass the message, and accepted Ning Zheng's invitation.

Ning Zheng's subordinates had never seen Jing Zhan before, but they were intimidated by Jiang Ling's unfathomable aura, and they didn't dare to say anything. They lowered their heads and led her out of the city defense camp, and temporarily placed her in a quiet place in the city. In the elegant inn.

There was still more than an hour before the dinner time, Jiang Ling walked around the room, and then made a gesture to ventilate, and pushed open a side window that was backed by the door.

A figure flashed by in the courtyard of the inn, Jiang Ling glanced around, and finally stayed on an old tree under the window for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened.

She fixed the window and stopped looking out, but went back to the table and sat down, pouring herself a cup of herbal tea.

Jiang Ling knew that Ning Zheng would not be so reassuring about her. She had just entered the city, and there were people secretly watching her around. Presumably, after the banquet tonight, there would only be a lot of these flies.

When leaving the Chinese army camp before, Ning Huaijin wanted Jiang Ling to bring two more guards, but Jiang Ling refused.

"If I go alone, I can still say that I came here by destiny." Jiang Ling stood in front of the camp at that time, and said seriously to Ning Huaijin who came to see him off: "But if I bring guards, let alone Ning Zheng If you become suspicious, even the purpose is not pure.”

"This king knows." Ning Huaijin sighed, and said, "But it is a den of tigers and wolves after all. I am afraid that Ning Zheng will not play cards according to common sense and hurt you instead."

"If I bring my entourage, it will be superfluous." Jiang Ling said with a smile, "It's better to be alone like this, it will appear to be mysterious, and Ning Zheng will not be able to tell the truth from the fake."

When he came out of Beijing earlier, Jiang Ling was ready to borrow Jing Zhan's name when he went out. Not only did he get two sets of new clothes from the National Teacher's Mansion, but he even took a few divination tablets from Jing Zhan. The copper plate, try to be able to pretend to be more like.

In order to look more bluffing, Jiang Ling chose the clothes that her brother would wear to the banquet today, a wide-sleeved robe, a silver belt and a jade crown, and a layer of tulle covered with silver thread embroidered auspicious clouds and cranes. It was as if she was afraid that people would not know her identity.

Jiang Ling sat at the table, drinking tea slowly, thinking about the dinner party tonight.

For her visit this time, in addition to being a snake with Ning Zhengxu, the most important thing is to find Ning Yan first and determine his safety.But Ning Zheng is also suspicious. Even if he thought she was Jing Zhan, he would not be so easy to confess to her. She had to find a way to find out more information.

While thinking about it, Jiang Ling glanced out of the window from the corner of his eye.

Those secret whistles outside were nothing to her, and when night fell, she would naturally have a way to get out of here and go secretly to find out where Ning Yan was.But the troublesome thing is that Ning Huaijin said that Ning Yan seemed to have been injured before being taken away by Ning Zheng. If so, it may take a lot of thinking to bring him out of Luzhou Mansion.

Ning Zheng's banquet was held in the backyard of the Luzhou government office, and he didn't invite other people to accompany him, only Jiang Ling was invited.

At the beginning of the unitary hour, Jiang Ling followed Ning Zheng's subordinates into the second gate of the mansion, walked through a winding corridor, and just arrived at the small garden where Ning Zheng used to hold a banquet.

Ning Zheng had already waited in the garden ahead of time, and when he saw her, he had a good attitude. He came out from behind the table, clasped his hands and called the national teacher with a pleasant face.

Jiang Ling folded his hands in his sleeves, stood still in the courtyard, and said indifferently: "My lord, you are polite."

Ning Zheng sized her up without any trace, and saw that she was dressed in exquisite clothes, neither humble nor overbearing, and her appearance was cold, so he believed her identity half to eight percent.

After all, Ning Yan's incident happened suddenly, and no matter how powerful Ning Huaijin was, it was impossible for him to temporarily find such a person with such a temperament from the army.

In addition to Jiang Ling's dashing appearance, and deliberately made her voice hoarse with medicine, Ning Zheng only thought that she looked a little more refined than ordinary men, and didn't think about dressing up as a man.

"A few days ago, Ning Yan decreed to erase this king's name of Changle King, but the national teacher was very polite, and he was willing to call this king a prince." Ning Zheng laughed.

"The address is nothing but an external thing. If the prince doesn't call me the national teacher, I will be willing to match the name of the prince." Jiang Ling said.

Ning Zheng wanted to put on airs, but he didn't want her to speak so impolitely, so he choked for a moment.

"The national teacher is really extraordinary, and has his own way of doing things." Ning Zheng quickly recovered his voice, and said with a smile: "It's just that we don't stand still, why don't we sit down and have a taste of this Luzhou mansion?" craftsmanship."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and then took his seat.

Ning Zheng arranged for Jiang Ling to be under his left hand. He carefully observed Jiang Ling's expression when he took his seat. Seeing that the other party was not unhappy, he was extremely satisfied.

"The national teacher came from a long way, and this king should take care of you, but I don't know something, so I wonder if I can let the national teacher clear up the confusion." Ning Zheng said.

Jiang Ling didn't move his chopsticks. Hearing this, he turned his body slightly, looked directly at Ning Zheng and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Ning Zheng rolled his eyes, and asked tentatively, "I don't know that the national teacher is here, what is his intention?"

Jiang Ling didn't fall into his trap, but said indifferently: "If the prince doesn't know, he won't let him in."

Jiang Ling choked on Ning Zheng's words twice, and he frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

But he had vaguely heard that this heir of Kunlun had a normal temper, and he didn't like to play games with others in his life, but only liked to be straightforward and frank.

So Ning Zheng simply put down his wine glass and said bluntly: "I have heard that the reason why Kunlun stayed with my good brother and escorted him is because the current lord of Kunlun had a deal with the late emperor, so he had to stay in the palace. Middle. But now that the national teacher has come to this king to show his favor, wouldn’t it be treachery and self-slap in the face.”

"The deal between the teacher and the late emperor is to protect the Ning family for 300 years." Jiang Ling glanced at Ning, curled his lips, and said with a chuckle, "Isn't the prince also surnamed Ning?"
