Light Red Northern Song

An Ning was sitting in the carriage, with her right ring finger casually twirling her long hair around her ear, and said to the two with a smile, "Let's go for a walk now."

"Where does your Highness want to go?" Linglong asked.

"Let's go to the outer city." An Ning suddenly had the idea of ​​walking around, and now she answered almost subconsciously.

"Going out of the city? Your Highness, it's not appropriate." Linglong Ruyi was surprised when she heard her master's answer.Ruyi doesn't dare to speak out now, although Linglong feels that An Ning treats them less trustingly than before, but there are some things she has to say.

"It's not going out of the city, it's just going out of the inner city." An Ning stretched out her hand to open the curtain of the car, and said to the outside, "Lord Mu, go to the outer city."

"Your Highness," Mu Ji drove his horse and carriage side by side, bent forward and said, "I didn't say yesterday that I would leave the city."

"Master Mu, leave the inner city, go to the outer city for a walk, don't leave Tongcheng." An Ning suddenly felt better as he spoke.

"Then..." Mu Ji looked up and looked around, then lowered his body and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I only go to the outer city and come back after walking, can you not delay?"

"Yes." After speaking, An Ning withdrew her body and lowered the car curtain.She leaned lightly on the back cushion and closed her eyes.

As the carriage moved forward, a tawny figure stood quietly at the corner of the street they passed.

"Your Highness, you have already left the inner city, where are you going now?" Mu Ji asked outside the carriage after a while.

"Go to Bingwu Gate." An Ning replied with her eyes still closed.

"Yes." Mu Ji felt strange and didn't dare to ask more questions, but just directed everyone to move forward.

When he left the inner city, there were no guards to question him. When he came to the gate of the outer city, several people came to meet him.The leading general nodded with Mu Ji first, and then asked: "Guard Mu, who is in the carriage?"

"Commander Qin, in the carriage is His Highness Princess Anning. Your Highness is only here to have a look around, not to go out of the city." Mu Ji replied loudly.

"Your Majesty, Tongcheng is guarding, and Qin Santong, the commander of Bingwumen Gate, pays his respects to Her Royal Highness." Qin Santong glanced at the carriage before reporting loudly.

"Lord Qin, please forgive me." An Ning gave Ruyi a look and got up, and Ruyi Linglong waited for the master to get out of the carriage.

"My lord Qin, I just came here for pleasure, come and walk around, you don't need to be polite." An Ning walked in front of Qin Santong and said.

Qin Santong was dressed in military uniform, tall and straight, with slightly dark skin and a serious face.He looked at An Ning without hesitation, and then said: "Since Your Highness has come to the gate of the city, please allow me to send more people to guard."

"Okay, but I don't know who Master Qin will send to guard the palace?" An Ning raised her head and looked around the tower, asking with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty has two lieutenants, and one of them is on duty today. If Your Highness permits, I can send someone to call her to lead them here." Seeing that the other party had a kind and gentle attitude, Qin Santong lowered his head slightly and answered.

"Yes, let's go, thank you Lord Qin." An Ning nodded and walked eastward calmly.

"Yes." Qin Santong looked at the backs of the people not far away, called a soldier and gave some instructions before leaving first.

An Ning paced slowly, followed by Mu Ji and Ruyi Linglong, and the rest of the guards followed a few steps away.At this time, An Ning heard regular footsteps coming from behind, she turned her head, and smiled when she saw the leader.The summer sun shone on her pink coat against the light, giving her an extraordinary brilliance.

Qiao Minzhi listened to someone calling her on the city tower, saying that Qin Santong had ordered him to lead the soldiers to guard An Ning temporarily near the city gate.She was stunned for a moment, why did Her Royal Highness come here suddenly?But she reacted quickly, ordered a few soldiers and guards to lead the order happily.She led a few people and ran over with military steps, but felt that she was about to get lost in An Ning's glance and smile at that moment. How would she describe her mood at this moment?She stood still for a moment, not moving.

"Heh, Lieutenant General Qiao is still in a daze in broad daylight." An Ning raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a light smile.

"Your Majesty, Qiao Minzhi, see Your Highness the Princess." Qiao Minzhi blushed, and hurriedly led the guards to salute.

"Vice General Qiao doesn't need to be too polite, I'm just hanging out here, I don't need so many people." After An Ning finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Mu Ji: "Master Mu, arrange for you to rest for a while, I will go with Vice General Qiao Walk over there."

Mu Ji got an order to arrange people to guard nearby, and An Ning and Qiao Minzhi went to the place under the gate tower alone.

"Why was Lieutenant General Qiao in a daze just now?" She thought of the child's daze just now, and suddenly found it funny.

"Uh...Your Highness, I, oh no, my lord, um..." Qiao Minzhi was very upset, she didn't dare to look directly at the other person, her little head kept shaking from side to side, and sweat was dripping from her forehead.

"Deputy General Qiao was not like this in Ding'an paddock before. At that time, Deputy General Qiao was quite eloquent." An Ning was in a better mood. How could that man have such a cute younger sister?The two of them looked alike when they were dumb, but that person was more sensitive.

Qiao Min's heart was in a mess. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Are people in Chudi so elegant?She also thought of her suspicions about An Ning and her sister, and she was even more at a loss, with nowhere to rest her hands and feet.

"What on earth is Vice-General Qiao in a daze?" An Ning wanted to make a joke at first, but felt a little strange when he saw that the other party was getting more and more uneasy.

"Your Highness is so beautiful, my sister would be like this if she were here." Qiao Minzhi acted according to his will, and actually said what was in his heart.After she finished speaking, she was stunned, not knowing what she was talking about.

An Ning was also stunned when she heard the words, she blushed slightly, turned away and took a few steps forward.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I offend His Highness with unscrupulous words, please forgive me." Qiao Minzhi hurried over and knelt behind the other party and said.

"Get up." An Ning frowned and said in a low voice.

After she stood up, An Ning walked forward again.Qiao Minzhi followed silently with her head bowed deeply, she almost fell headfirst against the city wall to death.

"Your sister, she..." An Ning didn't know what to say next.Since it was Chu Shanyi's secret decree, no matter where Qiao Jinzhi went or what he did, she should not inquire about it.

Although Qiao Minzhi was stunned occasionally, he was not a stupid person.She understood immediately, and replied, "I didn't tell the official where my sister went, but the official can probably guess that she should have gone to Zhenbei Daying."

"Zhenbei camp?" An Ning turned around, looked at the other party in doubt and asked, "You guessed it? How did you guess it?"

"Zhenbei Daying is the place guarded by father and brother. Originally, my sister was also there. Later, my sister returned to the capital after being injured. Although my sister was away for half a year, she still has prestige in the camp. If there are any matters that need to be handled by someone, Elder sister can also help." Qiao Minzhi didn't seem to be defensive at all, and spoke casually.

"Father and brother are all there, what else do you need your sister to do?"

"Father is old, and he has always doted on my brother. My brother has a bad reputation in the military camp in recent years. Maybe my sister is going to help my father to rectify military discipline and deal with important affairs."

"Who can't help Lord Hou to rectify military discipline and deal with important affairs, but why do you want your sister to go? It is for military affairs and it should be ordered by the court, so why do you want to go like this?"

"Your Highness, you don't know. Most of the troops stationed in the Zhenbei Camp are from the Qiao family army. To be convincing, the Qiao family is naturally the most suitable for handling important affairs. It is also because of this reason that my father was once suspected by His Majesty. If it wasn't for the empress' protection and With the strength of the Zhenbei Camp itself, I am afraid that the Qiao family has long been destroyed."

"You dare to say these words to Ben Gong?" An Ning was surprised.

"Ah? Your Highness, don't you love your elder sister the most? Although the official and my elder sister are not born of the same mother, their relationship is comparable to that of real sisters, so there is nothing that cannot be explained to your Highness." Qiao Minzhi said very sincerely, as if he was with the other party right now. It is natural to say that the scrambling for power and profit, the secret fight and the open fight, are all taken for granted.

"And you know that Bengong loves your sister?" An Ning asked with her right eyebrow raised slightly, and a smile spread across her face.

"If it wasn't, why would His Highness make such a fuss in Lingyun Hall?" Qiao Minzhi was no longer nervous and uneasy before, and spoke more casually, even a little proudly.

"Oh..." An Ning turned away again, because of the other person's words, there was something strange in her heart.The other party clearly regarded her as her own family, which made her a little happy and a little confused.

"Then, you don't know when she will come back, and you don't know if the Zhenbei camp is safe." An Ning finished speaking in a low voice and raised her head to look into the distance, the sunlight was a bit dazzling.She turned around and walked towards a magnolia tree, and said: "This magnolia tree also exists in my hometown."

"I really don't know when my sister will come back to be an official." Qiao Minzhi heard the other party talking about the magnolia tree just after answering. She followed An Ning and said, "There are magnolia trees in Chudi too? I have never been to the official. My sister came from Chudi. After I came back, my mood improved a lot, it seems that it is really a good place, and I want to visit it as well."

"If I get a chance in the future, I will go with you." An Ning said with a smile and turned around.The hometown she mentioned was not Chu State, but that modern southern city.She heard Qiao Minzhi say that Qiao Jinzhi's mood improved after returning from Chu State, and she remembered the first time she and Qiao Jinzhi met.The north wind, the bright sun, the proud figure at the bow of the boat... I laughed out loud unconsciously.

"Okay, my sister said that I met a Taoist priest in Chudi, who has advanced Taoism and is still helping my sister find a prescription for healing her arm. The official also found it very miraculous. I really want to meet this Taoist priest."

"There are many Taoist cultivators in Chu, and there are also many masters who have attained the Tao. Since this Taoist priest is willing to help your sister, there must be a way. I just don't know the Taoist priest's title?" An Ning asked casually.

"I heard it once, and it seems to be called Chunyan." Qiao Minzhi answered carefully.

"Pure? Are you sure?" An Ning asked in surprise.

"His Highness knows this person?" Qiao Minzhi also asked with wide eyes.

"I know, the Taoist priest has a lot of connections with me." An Ning frowned after speaking, and turned her head slightly to one side, and saw a person in a brown robe standing under the corner building in the distance.She turned her head and looked carefully in that direction again.

Qiao Minzhi also looked in the direction of her eyes, and asked with a snort, "That seems to be, is it... Lin Qingyun?"

"Who is Lin Qingyun? She seems to be following Ben Gong." An Ning felt something was wrong when she got off the carriage, as if someone was watching her from the dark.It's just that she kept thinking about Qiao Minzhi, so she ignored the faint feeling.

"It's the female son of the university scholar's mansion. She had a good relationship with her elder brother Lin Weiwen and her sister when she was young. She was also a brother and sister who studied martial arts together. Later, they became estranged for some reason. I heard that she was going to Shan country for a study tour, and the lower officials also had friends." I haven't seen their brother and sister for two years." Although Qiao Minzhi didn't know An Ning not long ago, she really wanted to say anything to An Ning, but she didn't realize that she had never trusted the Lin brothers and sisters that much.

"She's gone." An Ning walked a few steps towards the turret, but saw Lin Qingyun's leaving back from a distance.Her frown did not relax, and her intuition told her that the visitor surnamed Lin was not kind.

"Shan country? Didn't you go to Mobei?" An Ning turned around and asked quietly.

"Some people also said that she went to Mobei, and it was my sister who said she went to Shan country."

"Oh... I'm going back to the palace too. Vice-General Qiao, go get busy." An Ning said after thinking for a while.

"Your Highness, please be careful when you go back to the palace, and come to see me again when you have time. If I get news of my sister, I will inform Your Highness." Qiao Minzhi stuck out his tongue playfully and said with a smile.

"You're a big kid." An Ning smiled and left.
