Dingjiangshan

Jiang Ling was sure, so he straightened up without a trace, and put his hands behind his back.

Ning Yan had been sizing up her expression, and immediately became vigilant when she saw this—although she glanced at Ning Zheng just now, there was disgust in her eyes. Based on Ning Yan's understanding of Jiang Ling, He always felt that Jiang Ling had no good plans in mind.

Jiang Ling was wearing a thin cloak, and Ning Yan couldn't see her movements clearly, but for some reason, his heart skipped a beat for no reason, and suddenly an ominous premonition emerged.

The premonition came too fast and too strong, and Ning Yan had no time to react, so he blurted out: "A Zhan!"

Jiang Ling's hand had already touched the handle of the dagger behind his waist, and he was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ning Yan was calling her.

"Why are you..." Ning Yansheng was afraid that Ning Zheng would become suspicious, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Why are you here with Third Brother?"

He especially accentuated the word "Third Brother", which even sounded a little trembling.Ning Zheng only thought that he couldn't accept the rebellion of those close to him for a while, but Jiang Ling heard a little bit of Ning Yan's hidden meaning.

Ning Yan's temperament is also quite arrogant in nature, let alone being locked up here, even with a sword on his neck, he will not give in.

But he is still willing to match his brother in front of Ning Zheng. Although Jiang Ling doesn't know why, he also understands that Ning Yan doesn't want him to do it now.

Jiang Ling frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to listen to him, and slowly let go of the dagger.

Ning Zheng didn't know that he had just passed through the gate of hell just now, he leaned back in the chair with great interest, carefully studying Ning Yan's expression.

——This is the look, Ning Zheng thought, unexpected and unbelievable.

He finally pried open the calm mask on Ning Yan's body that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Ning Zheng squeezed the armrest slightly, with all kinds of emotions in his heart churning, and he couldn't find an outlet for a while.

In the past ten years, he stayed in Anqing Mansion, and he didn't want to return to the capital in an open and honest manner almost all the time.He thought about the current scene countless times in his dreams, but when he really saw Ning Yan who was a prisoner, Ning Zheng suddenly realized that he was not as excited as he imagined in his heart.

He did see another side of Ning Yan, and finally saw his downcast appearance, but maybe all this came too easily, which made Ning Zheng a little hesitant.

——Maybe not enough, Ning Zheng thought, he also wanted to see how his sixth brother, who was going smoothly, fell from the clouds and fell into despair after falling into despair.

"Xiao Liu is very smart, there is nothing he can't guess." Ning Zheng smiled and turned his head, looked at Jiang Ling for a while, then turned his head and said: "This king wants to ask Xiao Liu, when he was in the capital, When this king and the fourth child were abandoned by their father one by one, did you ever think that this king still has today?"

Ning Yan finally turned his head and looked directly at this "third brother" whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Ten years later, not everyone is as young as him.The traces of the passage of time on Ning Zheng's face are clearly visible. He has changed from the prime minister ten years ago to a middle-aged man who has been pampered and pampered for many years.

From Ning Zheng's figure, Ning Yan can roughly see that he has lived a good life these years, but the years are not forgiving. The texture is also clearly visible.

Ning Zheng's appearance resembled Ruan Yin's, but if one didn't look at the outline of his eyebrows and eyes, but only looked at the lower half of his face, one could still see a bit of Ning Zongyuan's outline.

Only at this time, it seems that the mystery of blood and family relationship can be reflected, as if the two of them are already opposite to each other, and they can draw a line related to each other just based on their similar looks.

"Ah Zhan." Ning Yan said suddenly: "You go out first—close the door."

Ning Zheng couldn't help but sneered, just as he was about to ridicule him for being a prisoner and showing the emperor's record, Jiang Ling turned around simply, and really stepped out of the house, but when he closed the door with his hands back, the guards outside guarded him. blocked.

Ning Zheng: "..."

"Third brother." Ning Yan also smiled very gently. He raised his left hand, shook the chain on his hand lightly, and said, "Let's talk alone. Third brother won't be afraid of a wounded person."

"...Bring the door." Ning Zheng said, "Everyone takes three steps back."

Jiang Ling glared at the guard coldly, closed the door behind his back, and did not go far, only walked to a corner of the courtyard, leaned against a willow tree and closed his eyes to rest.

In the firewood room, Ning Yan shook the hem of his clothes and sat on the hay.He habitually raised his left hand and moved it from back to front, resting his wrist on his knee.

Seeing this, Ning Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The demeanor of the children of the royal family is not deceiving after all, even if there are a few stiff and cold iron chains, Ning Yan has to straighten them out in order to be considered dignified.

He sat quite straight, no matter in terms of attitude or self-proclaimed, he had no self-consciousness of being a prisoner, and he abruptly took the prison out of the calmness of the emperor's palace.

Ning Yan put on a "conversation" posture, and then slowly said: "Third brother, do you hate me?"

"Hate?" Ning Zheng seemed to have heard something rather funny. He leaned halfway in the grand master's chair, crossed his fingers on his knees, and asked lazily, "I should hate you for taking away the things that should belong to me." The throne of the emperor, or should I hate your soldiers for killing the king's son before the battle?"

When Ning Chengyi was mentioned, Ning Zheng paused for a moment, which sounded extremely subtle, but Ning Yan still noticed it.

At this moment, Ning Yan suddenly thought of Ning Yu for no reason, and thought of the fourth brother who died under his father's scheme and acquiescence.

"This king doesn't hate you." Ning Zheng said flatly, "But this king really wants to kill you."

What Ning Zheng said was the truth, in fact, all the time, all the stories about the brothers of the Tian family in the scripts and dramas outside have been ruthless monsters fighting for position without end.But in fact, who is not flesh and blood, who grew up together, how can they be as indifferent as written in the script.

When they fight, they frame up, frame, form cliques, assassinate, and all sorts of shady means can be used, but every brother in the Tian family knows exactly what they are going for.

In the final analysis, there is only a conflict of interests between them, but not a deep hatred.

"I never thought that this would be the first thing you said to me." Ning Zheng sneered, "I even doubted whether my father was approaching his twilight at that time. Thinking of the things he did when he was young, he felt I felt uneasy, so I decided to pick a soft-hearted child like you to take charge of Jiangshan."

"According to the third brother's thinking, what is kindness and softness?" Ning Yan said.

Ning Zheng didn't intend to let him dominate the entire conversation, so he stopped answering his question and started a new topic by himself.

"No need to talk nonsense." Ning Zheng said: "You have seen Jing Zhan, and this king will not hide it from you. He made a deal with this king, saying that he would use the jade seal and the imperial edict to exchange your life. See You change it or not."

"I won't change it." Ning Yan replied quickly without any hesitation.

Ning Zheng was not surprised.

Outsiders don't understand them, but just as Ning Zheng would rather die on the road of rebellion than be defeated and imprisoned, Ning Yan must have preferred to die in the hands of his "rebellious officials and thieves" instead of being like a subjugated king, obediently He handed over the jade seal in his hand in exchange for living.

"That's really a pity." Ning Zheng said coolly: "It's a pity that the master of the country is so painstaking. He begged me for a long time and agreed to many conditions."

"I'm laughing." Ning Yan actually bent his eyes and smiled sincerely, and then pursed his lips in a helpless and embarrassing manner, as if he had thought that Jing Zhan would be like this, and said ashamedly: "At least we have been together for so many years, Ah Zhan Always be reluctant to part with me."

Ning Zheng: "..."

——Is this the reaction he should have!

Ning Zheng failed to sow discord, nor did he see Ning Yan's hesitant expression as he wished, and was defeated by Ning Yan.

"It's just that since the third brother has spoken clearly, I might as well tell the third brother a secret." Ning Yan said with a smile: "If I say that I was captured on purpose, I just wanted to see you, believe it or not."

Ning Zheng almost laughed out loud.

He even wondered if Ning Yan was really too young, and because he had never experienced troubles in his life, he took many things for granted.

Pretending to be a high-level city mansion is nothing more than deceiving civil servants in the court, but on the battlefield, who would be deceived by him.

This is Anqing Mansion, with high mountains and deep waters, far away from the front line, once he entered his mansion, no matter how smart Ning Yan claimed to be, he could still kill him whenever he wanted.

Ning Zheng suddenly thought, Ruan Yin once said in the letter that Ning Yan was overconfident to the point of being conceited, and now it seems that what she said was true.

"At this point, there is no need to play tricks." Ning Zheng looked at the brother in front of him who was still putting on airs with almost pity, and said slowly: "Even if you did it on purpose, then what are you here for. "

"If I say, I'm here to persuade third brother to turn around in time, do you believe it or not?" Ning Yan asked.

Ning Zheng finally couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"Xiao Liu, let me tell you something about you." Ning Zheng said: "Believe it or not is the second thing, but if what you said is true, then I can only say that you are extremely naive."

"Third brother doesn't believe it, that's all." Ning Yan said nonchalantly: "Anyway, what I say is as good as an imperial decree, and I leave it here, and it counts at any time—if third brother finds out later that he wants to abandon the evil and follow the law Good, I will not blame the past."

Ning Zheng really didn't understand why Ning Yan was still so confident at this moment.

He seemed to have a lot of confidence, but Ning Zheng thought about it, but he really didn't know where his confidence came from, so he even murmured in his heart.

——Could it be that there is a real trick, Ning Zheng thought.

This suspicion was out of control together, Ning Zheng didn't want to argue with him, but just wanted to think about what else he had missed in his plan, so he simply stood up and looked down at Ning Yan.

"Then I will return this to you." Ning Zheng said: "If you want to take out the jade seal and edict someday, I will still accompany you as usual."

Ning Zheng lowered his eyes, stared at Ning Yan coldly with almost indifferent eyes, and said word by word: "Xiao Liu, the future will be long."
