Dingjiangshan

Ning Huaijin stayed up all night.

He was so frightened by the dream that he dared not close his eyes, and sat in the tent all night.

It wasn't until the morning light outside that Ning Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief.

He moved himself out of bed with stiff hands and feet, and didn't ask Shi Li to come in to serve him. He washed himself slowly in a basin of cold water overnight, changed into light armor, and was ready to go out to patrol the camp.

The rain outside has not stopped, but the rain is much lighter.

Ning Huaijin walked out of the tent with a bow, and before she could straighten up, the umbrella in Shili's hand had already opened and covered his head.

Shili knew that Ning Huaijin had woken up from his dream at midnight yesterday, but he called twice at the door, but Ning Huaijin didn't respond.Shi Li didn't dare to trespass into Prince Gong's tent, but he didn't dare to rest on his own, he guarded at the door in the middle of the night in fear, and finally managed to get him out.

Fortunately, although Ning Huaijin looked a little ugly, she was still in good spirits. She looked at him for a while without any trace, and felt that he should still be in the category of "being taken care of".

Ning Huaijin glanced sideways and said, "Thank you."

"Your Majesty's words are serious." Shi Li said, "It's all a matter of duty."

"Has Fan Wu returned from Anqing Mansion?" Ning Huaijin asked.

It has not been two days since he asked Shili to order someone to go to Anqing Mansion to inquire about the news. Ning Huaijin knew in his heart that he might not have replied yet, but the dream last night was so ominous that Ning Huaijin desperately wanted to hear about Ning Yan. news.

But Shili shook his head with some embarrassment, and said: "...not yet, the prince's previous order was to ask Brother Wu to wait for news over there, and I'm afraid it will take a day or two before he comes back."

This answer was expected by Ning Huaijin, but it inevitably made him feel a little disappointed.

"Understood." Ning Huaijin said.

Ning Huaijin turned her head as she spoke, and was about to go to the east side of the camp to start patrolling the camp, but within two steps, she met Xie Jue who had rushed over.

General Xie didn't even wear a coir raincoat, and there was a layer of water on the light armor. He looked like he just came back from outside in a hurry, and he didn't know where he went all morning.

Obviously, he also came to look for Ning Huaijin, and when he saw him, he subconsciously slowed down.

"Exactly, my lord, I was going to find you." Xie Jue said.

"Looking for me?" Ning Huaijin asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Jue hesitated to speak, he looked around, looked at the patrols and guards not far away, swallowed what he wanted to say, took a few steps, grabbed Ning Huaijin's arm, and pulled him towards his Pulling in the tent.

"Stop talking outside." Xie Jue said, "Let's go, my lord will go to my tent and talk about it in detail."

After Xie Jue finished speaking, he lowered his voice and approached Ning Huaijin, and whispered, "...the person who sent the message to Ning Zheng has returned."

"What!" Ning Huaijin grabbed Xie Jue's arm with his backhand and asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

"Don't worry, my lord, you're waiting for an answer in my tent." Xie Jue comforted her, "It's just... I'm afraid the answer won't be very nice from the way I look at it."

"I guessed it." Ning Huaijin said: "Ning Zheng is holding His Majesty in his hand, and he feels that there are rare goods to live in. It is not surprising for the King to offer any outrageous conditions."

Ning Huaijin dragged Xie Jue across half of the camp in a hurry, and when she reached Xie Jue's tent, she hesitated for a moment, not daring to step inside.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Xie Jue asked strangely.

——Ning Huaijin suddenly remembered the nightmare she had the night before.

"...It's nothing." Ning Huaijin calmed down and said, "Stay outside for ten miles, and don't let others approach you."

Ning Huaijin followed Xie Jue into the tent, only to find a young man in civilian clothes standing inside.

Ning Huaijin looked familiar with this face, it seemed to be Xie Jue's old subordinate, who came from the border town, and his name seemed to be Li Liangyin.

"My lord, general." Seeing the two of them coming in, Li Liangyin hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I'm late, my lord forgive me."

"It's okay." Xie Jue waved his hand and said, "But why did it take two days? Did something happen on the way?"

"That's not true." Li Liangyin glanced at Ning Huaijin, and said, "Ning Zheng almost didn't let his subordinates come back."

Ning Huaijin frowned, and exchanged a glance with Xie Jue.

Ning Huaijin and Xie Jue sat down on the left and right, then pointed to the tables and chairs beside them, and said, "Sit first."

"When the two armies are at war, if you don't kill them, since Ning Zheng wants to be famous, he won't even talk about morality." Ning Huaijin said: "Or, he is no longer going to talk to us, and wants to tear his face apart. ?”

"That's not true." Li Liangyin said: "Unfortunately, one of the soldiers on duty at Ning Zheng's gate happened to have fought against him before, and recognized me as the commander of the left army guard battalion. So Ning Zheng moved a little bit. With a twisted mind, I thought about detaining my subordinates and replacing them with someone to answer. Fortunately, after hearing the news, Second Miss Jiang rushed over and asked my subordinates to come down from Ning Zheng's hands."

As soon as Li Liangyin mentioned Jiang Ling, Ning Huaijin also thought of something, and asked, "How is Second Miss doing in Ning Zheng?"

"Very good, my subordinates looked at Second Miss Jiang and made Ning Zheng stunned for a while." Li Liangyin said, "Second Miss Jiang's demeanor is really shocking, and talking to Ning Zheng is also true. He was cold and indifferent, and didn't give him much face. Two of the three sentences were choking—but Ning Zheng just listened to her. Let the subordinates out."

Xie Jue: "..."

Ning Huaijin: "..."

——Sure enough, worrying is unnecessary.

"But Ning Zheng was unwilling to let go, and he was unwilling to accept what his subordinates said." Li Liangyin said: "He played aggressively for a long time, but he still didn't say a word to His Majesty."

"Normally, he won't send a handle to the door." Ning Huaijin said, "Did he mention any requirements?"

"Yes." Li Liangyin said: "He asked the prince to retreat eight hundred miles and return to Nanyang Mansion."

"He farts!" Xie Jue couldn't help cursing.

Ning Huaijin made a calming gesture, and then asked, "What else did you say?"

Li Liangyin swallowed, glanced at Xie Jue, who was looking unfriendly, and said hesitantly: "Ning Zheng said, this incident was originally a misunderstanding. His Majesty is young and impatient, so he misunderstood what he meant, so he beat him up without explanation." He is wronged as a traitor and a traitor. Now that the disturbance is like this, everyone’s faces are ugly, it’s better for the emperor to retreat and return to Nanyang, everyone will live in peace, sit down and chat, clear up the misunderstanding, and everything will be fine.”

Let alone Xie Jue now, even Ning Huaijin couldn't help being angry, he slapped the table with his teeth gritted, and cursed, "Shameless."

What misunderstanding is not misunderstanding, it’s not enough for him to commit trouble, and now he even wants to pin this shit basin on Ning Yan’s head, saying that he can’t hold back and act recklessly, but he actually scolds Ning Yan openly and secretly for not being able to tolerate half-brothers , Only then did this kind of crime be charged to the brother.

In his life, Prince Gong hated to hear someone say something bad about Ning Yan, not to mention such a reversal of black and white, his face sank at that moment.

"I just don't want to talk about it." Ning Huaijin said: "Now the situation is on Ning Zheng's side, so he is naturally not in a hurry, just waiting for us to lose our composure and show our flaws."

"And according to what he said, he must have nothing to worry about." Xie Jue pinched the bridge of his nose, wondering: "I even suspect that Ning Zheng will turn around and make a fuss about His Majesty, and then come out and say something about their 'brothers' The two of them have already sat down together, chatting and drinking, and cleared up the misunderstanding. At that time, aside from others, he will really be cleared of the crime of anti-thief."

"Fortunately, Jiang Ling is here." Ning Huaijin said: "At least Jiang Ling can keep an eye on Ning Zheng, so that he won't really punish His Majesty."

"It's a good thing she came." Xie Jue said with a wry smile, "This is probably the only thing to be happy about."

Li Liangyin didn't bring back any useful news, and felt very ashamed. Hearing this, he looked around at the two masters in front of him, and said hesitantly, "Then what should we do now? Do you still need your subordinates to come over and negotiate conditions?"

"There's nothing to talk about." Xie Jue waved his hand and said, "The current situation is like this, and he won't agree to whatever you say. Either, the prince and I will retreat for eight hundred miles as he said, or Just freeze here, let's see who loses his temper first."

"It's true that Your Majesty is in his hands, but it's not completely hopeless." Ning Huaijin said: "Commander Li has worked hard, go back and rest first, and ask the kitchen to open a small stove to calm you down."

Li Liangyin sighed, stood up and saluted the two of them, then turned around and left the tent.

As soon as Li Liang Yinfang went out, Xie Jue simply slumped in his chair, turned his head listlessly, and looked at Ning Huaijin.

Ning Huaijin knew what he was going to say, Prince Gong touched the sword marks on the desk in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait."

"Knowing that His Majesty is fine is better than anything else, and since Ning Zheng didn't do anything immediately, it means that he has concerns in his heart. No matter what the concerns are, it is a good thing for us." Ning Huaijin said: " As long as His Majesty is fine, then we will be in a stalemate with him, he is always more anxious than us."

"My lord is different from the previous few days." Xie Jue leaned on the back of the chair with half-closed eyes, and said in a resentful tone: "To be honest, I haven't dared to close my eyes these few nights. I'm afraid I won't be able to think about it in the middle of the night. The soldiers went out, and I didn't have time to stop you."

Ning Huaijin laughed.

"A few days ago, I was in a hurry and lost my mind." Ning Huaijin shook her head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Now that I think about it, as a coach, I really shouldn't be so temperamental."

"Hey——" Xie Jue didn't want to scold him at first, and quickly persuaded him: "My lord is also in a hurry."

"I have thought about it for the past few days. According to Jiang Ling's personality, she must have been looking for traces of His Majesty on the first day she arrived in Luzhou Mansion. Visit the government office. But we have not received any news in the past few days, which is enough to show that even Jiang Ling has not found any trace of His Majesty." Ning Huaijin paused, and said: "This king suspects that His Majesty has long been arrested by Ning Zheng. Send it to Anqing Mansion."

"That's why I sent a letter to the Anqing Mansion, asking people to investigate more there." Ning Huaijin said: "And, as long as Ning Zheng is not by His Majesty's side, His Majesty is absolutely safe."
