In Beizhang Plain, under the starry night sky, a delicate woman stood quietly. Her beautiful face was a little sickly pale. The night wind blew, and she coughed lightly from time to time. Her delicate appearance made people's hearts ache.
" Has the Xia Emperor sent out his troops?" the woman asked softly.
"No, I haven't."
Beside the woman, a general in battle armor said respectfully. The general was very young, and his eyes were filled with admiration and respect when he looked at the woman. It was not burning, but it could not be hidden.
"Heaven's will!"
The lady glanced at the two blood-red constellations in the sky. She coughed a few times and sighed softly,"Someone has finally intervened. It's a pity that a hidden chess piece has been laid out for a long time."
The young general did not say a word. He stood by the woman's side. He knew that as long as the military counselor was here, the Royal Court of North Mongolia would eventually break through the defense line of the Central Plains.
"Mars is guarding the heart, and the true long qi is unstable. Great Xia is the most seriously affected. "Since Emperor Xia already knows his fate, he will definitely protect his career. If he wants to secretly send more troops, only Marquis Qinghe of the northwest and Marquis Buyi of the northeast can request for His Majesty to send troops to block the reinforcements from the northwest tomorrow morning." Fan Lingyue thought for a moment and then said.
"Why not the northeast?" the general asked, puzzled.
"Marquis Buyi has been guarding the mountain gate for sixteen years.”Fan Lingyue asked.
"Never"
" Then I won't do it this time either." Fan Lingyue didn't have the intention to explain further. His eyes were looking into the distance, and there was a hint of fatigue in his calmness. From time to time, he would cough softly, and the fatigue in his eyes would become even stronger.
If it wasn't for these simple words, who would have thought that this seemingly weak woman was actually the most terrifying military advisor in the Royal Court of North Mongolia? Seven years ago, she was the person who single-handedly manipulated the coup of the Royal Court of North Mongolia. In the following seven years, the Royal Court of North Mongolia achieved unprecedented unity and the country's strength reached a peak.
Unfortunately, the limited land and barren resources had limited the development of the Royal Court of North Mongolia, causing its development to slow down in the past two years.
" Advisor Jun, it's cold at night. Let's go back." After waiting for an unknown period of time, the weather became colder. The young general could not bear it and said.
" Mhm." Fan Lingyue covered his mouth and coughed lightly. He responded and turned around to walk towards the tent in the distance.
In the inner courtyard of the Tranquil Pharmacy, the morning sun shone through the window into the room and shone on Ning Chen's face. Not far away, Xiaoning was still unconscious while Zhangsun was guarding her by the side. His clothes were untied and he had fallen asleep.
Ning Chen woke up and went for a walk. Other than feeling pain all over his body, he felt alright.
Zhangsun was still unconscious. He frowned slightly. Ning Chen's heart ached when he saw his tired appearance. He carefully covered him with a piece of clothing and gently pushed the door open.
The shopkeeper had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Ning Chen come out, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward.
" Eunuch," the shopkeeper said. He was just about to ask Zhangsun if he had any arrangements when he saw a series of intense reactions.
"You're the father-in-law, your whole family is father-in-law!"
Ning Chen felt as if someone had stepped on his tail and immediately interrupted the shopkeeper's words. Pei, pei, pei, what bad luck!
"Then how should I address you…oh, no, how should I address you?”Shocked by Ning Chen's intense reaction, the shopkeeper asked carefully.
"Ning Chen!"
"Oh, then may I ask Brother Ning, does the Empress have any instructions?”
" The Empress hasn't woken up yet, how would I know?" Ning Chen replied gloomily. He still wanted to know.
Ning Chen mercilessly pushed the shopkeeper to the side and walked into the courtyard to practice Taiji Fist, causing the shopkeeper behind him to be stunned.
"Brother Ning is really a strange person."
"False reputation"
"Brother Ning is too modest."
"Sure."
"Ning Chen, come here."
"No."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Chen felt that something was wrong. When he turned around and saw that it was Zhangsun calling him, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He stopped punching and ran over.
"Niangniang, what instructions do you have?"
" Let's go back to the house. I have something to tell you." Zhangsun didn't care about Ning Chen's rudeness. She knew that if she did, she would die of anger sooner or later.
When they entered the house, Zhangsun looked at Ning Chen with an unprecedentedly solemn expression." Ning Chen, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Zhangsun's expression, Ning Chen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that there was going to be trouble for him.
" Find a way to enter Zhangsun Manor. When you see the Marquis of Peace, tell him that I'm here. Remember, you must meet the Marquis of Peace. No one else is allowed."
This was a matter of great importance, and Zhangsun had to be cautious. She could not guarantee that there were no spies in the Zhangsun Manor, so she could only be extremely cautious.
The Marquis of Taiping was her elder brother and also the leader of the Zhangsun lineage in the Imperial City. He must have heard the news of her accident and was looking for her everywhere.
" If there's a chance to escape," Ning Chen's first reaction was to take the opportunity to leave after hearing Zhangsun's instructions. However, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw the trusting gaze of the unconscious Xiaoning and Zhangsun.
"I'll try my best," Ning Chen replied vaguely.
"Hmm?" Zhangsun frowned. He was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Ning Chen sighed in his heart and stopped dragging things out. He raised his head to look at Zhangsun and said seriously," Don't worry, Empress. As long as I'm alive, I'll definitely pass on the message."
Hearing Ning Chen's assurance, Zhangsun was finally relieved. His expression softened slightly as he took out a crescent-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ning Chen." Take this. The Marquis of Peace will believe you when he sees it."
" Your Majesty, if I'm not back by sunset, please bring Qingning somewhere else," Ning Chen said suddenly as he took the jade pendant.
Zhangsun was stunned. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Ning Chen grinned and said,"I'm afraid that if I get caught, I won't be able to endure the torture and will rat you out."
" Ha!" Zhangsun laughed and replied," It's fine. I don't expect you to be able to withstand any torture. If it really comes to that, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just think of a way to save your life."
"Bye-bye!"
Ning Chen greeted him and turned to leave, leaving Zhangsun behind. He was confused as to what the last two words meant.
After a long time, Zhangsun shook his head helplessly and sighed,"This little fellow is too confusing."
The imperial city of Xia was very big and prosperous. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the number one city in the world. Ning Chen walked in it and felt dizzy. He only knew the general direction of Zhangsun Manor. He asked as he walked. After walking for half a day, it was already close to noon.
At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly realized a terrifying thing. He actually had no money! His only penny had been confiscated by Zhangsun, and now he was really penniless.
"Sister, how do I get to the Zhangsun Manor?"
After asking around, Ning Chen's throat was so thirsty that it was smoking. When he saw a woman walking past him, he subconsciously blocked the way and asked.
" Hehe, you even came to the brothel after asking for directions. Young Master is really in a good mood." Yue Hanyi glanced at the youth before her and giggled.
"Young Master seems to be thirsty. Come in and have a cup of tea."
"This, this isn't good."
Ning Chen was a little embarrassed, and immediately followed the woman into the Lingyan Pavilion without saying anything. So what if it was a brothel? What was wrong with asking for a cup of water?
" Young Master, please enjoy." Yue Hanyi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ning Chen as she smiled.
"You don't need money, right?" Ning Chen looked at the exquisite and luxurious decorations around him and probed.
" Young Master must be joking. It's just a cup of tea." Yue Hanyi smiled sweetly and said.
Ning Chen's smile was so wide that it almost blossomed. He took the tea and drank it in one gulp. It felt good!
" Do you want more?" Yue Hanyi poured another cup of tea and handed it over.
" Sister, you're so nice." Ning Chen took the cup and smiled shyly. He had not even drunk the water and had already given her the flattery.
"This cup costs money."
" Pfft!" Ning Chen had just taken half a sip when he heard the former's words and immediately spat it out.
" Cough cough." Ning Chen looked at Yue Hanyi, his face flushed red.
" Hehe, I was just teasing you. Look at how scared you are." Yue Hanyi laughed so hard that she was shaking like a flower. She gasped for breath.
" Heh." Ning Chen wiped his mouth awkwardly. His gaze swept around randomly, but he did not dare to look directly at Yue Hanyi.
"Eh, why isn't there anyone?"
Only then did Ning Chen realize that the luxurious and flashy loft was actually empty. There was not a single guest. He looked at Yue Hanyi again. Her eyebrows were shapely and her eyes were bright. Her skin was smooth and smooth. She looked like a troublemaker. No matter how he looked at her, she did not look like she was unwanted.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Yue Hanyi looked at Ning Chen's strange gaze and knew what this fellow was thinking. She grumpily said,"I opened this Lingyan Pavilion."
Hearing this, Ning Chen looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. The shy smile on his face disappeared and a hint of disgust flashed in the depths of his eyes. If one didn't pay attention, it would be very difficult to notice.
" Excuse me, I'll send you the money for the tea tomorrow," Ning Chen said lightly as he put down the teacup. Then, he turned around and walked out.
"This Young Master is here, why aren't you girls coming down?"
Right at this moment, a young figure swaggered in from outside the Lingyan Pavilion. Dressed in luxurious silk, coupled with that arrogant and despotic appearance, one could tell at a glance that he was a hedonistic son of a wealthy family.
"Oh, it's Young Master Zhangsun. What brings you here?”In just a moment, several women dressed in light gauze walked down from the second floor. Their beautiful bodies were faintly discernible, making people feel their mouths go numb.
" Haha, there's been too much trouble in the residence these past two days. It's almost driving me crazy. Come out and have some fun," Zhangsun Yunxuan laughed and said as if no one was around.
On the side, Ning Chen stopped and looked back at the young man not far away. After a moment, he walked forward.
"Are you from the Zhangsun Manor?"
" Yes," Zhangsun Yunxuan replied subconsciously.
"The son of the Marquis of Taiping?"
" Yeah, what's wrong?" Zhangsun Yunxuan said with annoyance.
" Ha, what a coincidence." Ning Chen laughed coldly and kicked the former in the abdomen.
Amidst everyone's shock, Zhangsun Yunxuan knocked over the table with a bang, spilling tea all over the floor.
At this moment, not only were the few women who had just come downstairs stunned, even Yue Hanyi, who was closest to them, could not react in time.
"You are courting death. Do you know who this young master is? Do you know who this young master's father is?”Zhangsun Yunxuan was so angry that his head did not have any light. He struggled to get up and shouted angrily.
" I know. Your father is the Marquis of Taiping. You said it just now." Ning Chen snorted coldly. It turned out that competing with one's father was so popular at this time.
Zhangsun was suffering outside and almost lost his life. This guy actually had the mood to visit a brothel. He was really a heartless thing.
He took a step forward and kicked out again. With the power of anger, Zhangsun Yunxuan, who had yet to stabilize himself, was instantly sent flying again. He crashed into a table and chair, and with a crashing sound, the cups and plates shattered on the ground.
"This kick will punish you for being heartless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Chen walked forward again. Looking at Zhangsun Yunxuan on the ground, he picked him up and kicked him ruthlessly again.
"This kick will punish you for being shameless!"
The tea cups spilled all over the floor, and the tables and chairs fell all over the floor. Ning Chen's expression became colder and colder. He picked up Zhangsun Yunxuan and immediately kicked him.
"This kick will punish you for ruining the reputation of the sect."
Grabbing Zhangsun Yunxuan, Ning Chen cut his finger with the broken glass, but he didn't seem to know. His cold eyes were filled with a bone-piercing chill.
"This is the last kick. I want you to remember this. When we meet again in the future, don't disgrace my grandson's name again."
Bang! Bang! The tables and chairs collapsed, and broken wood scattered all over the ground. There was a little blood, and everyone was so shocked that they could not say a word.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned cold. Several women looked at Ning Chen with a trace of fear and subconsciously took a step back.
" Sister, can I borrow your brush and ink?" Ning Chen walked to a woman and smiled brightly.
"Alright, alright."
The woman was so frightened that she took another step back. Her beautiful face turned pale, and she hurriedly nodded. Then, she turned around and stomped upstairs.
Not long after, the woman timidly walked over and carefully handed it to Ning Chen.
"Thank you."
Ning Chen took the brush and ink and smiled even more brightly. If not for the previous scene, who would have thought that this seemingly harmless youth was actually a living demon...
