wait for me to be king

Ye Ning looked at the letter in his hand with an unpredictable expression.

Fu Shi hasn't written to him for a long, long time. The last time she wrote to him was before her big wedding.

He silently guarded her, from being the wife of the eldest son of the acting king to the present princess, Ye Ning has long since lost his youthful delusion, he just guards her habitually, even if she does not belong to him, even if she has long been For a wife.

When there is a woman living in your heart, and then you look at other people, the comparison becomes scum in an instant.

Bang--! !

The window of the study was broken into pieces again, interrupting Ye Ning who was in deep thought.

Ye Ning reluctantly put down the letter in his hand and looked at the person who came.

With slightly dark skin, an unrestrained smile, long black hair tied into a ponytail, and neatly dressed in black, Erniang Ruan jumped in from the window again, ignoring the door two feet away.

Ye Ning has given up trying to change Ruan Erniang. This woman has always ignored everything and does her own way. I can't believe that a woman can grow up like her! !

Speaking of which, Xie Changfeng can tolerate this woman, wait!Ye Ning has black lines all over his head, and now he seems to be the one who tolerated this crazy woman all day long? !

After jumping in, Erniang Ruan spontaneously sat on the pear flower chair next to the desk. She picked up the teapot next to her, opened the lid and smelled it, "Oh, what does it smell like! Every time I come to you, I don't even have a sip of hot water. , Is this how you people from the Central Plains entertain your partners?"

Ye Ning had blue veins on his forehead, "That's the best Biluochun... Forget it, I don't understand if I tell you, since you don't drink it, then..."

Choking the rest of the words into his stomach, Ye Ning watched helplessly as the aunt drank the pot of tea directly to the spout.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ruan Erniang giggled, "I don't even care about you giving me cold water, are you still not satisfied?"

"..." Ye Ning took a deep breath, this time he was begging this woman, and he must not lose the big because of small things.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to serve you hot tea." Ye Ning looked at Ruan Erniang with a pleasing expression, "I called you this time because I have something to ask you."

Ruan Erniang raised her eyebrows, "Tell me, what is it?"

"I want to borrow your sea boat and rush to the capital as quickly as possible."

Ruan Erniang was stunned, "Are you going to Beijing? Now?" She counted the time and smiled, "You are lucky, the wind on the sea has just turned to the southwest, and it happens to be a tailwind to the northeast. If the speed is fast, it will take less than a month. can reach."

Ye Ning pondered for a moment, "Is it two months if you go back and forth?"

Ruan Erniang shrugged, "It's about the same. After all, ships have to go ashore to supply supplies. The sea waves are high and risky. If there is a heavy rain or a tornado, then it's uncertain."

Ye Ning was entangled, he went back and forth to the capital for two months, how can he hide it from the people in the military camp in these two months?

Ruan Erniang looked at Ye Ning's frowning face, and asked curiously, "You are in such a hurry to go to Beijing, is there anything important?"

"Yes, very important, very important."

In the letter, Fu said aside the prince's request. For the sake of Fu's reputation and life, Ye Ning really couldn't sit idly by.

"Then you are worried that no one will be in charge of the barracks after you leave?"

Ruan Erniang understood Ye Ning's worries. When she went to the capital, she was also worried about problems with her subordinates. What's more, Ye Ning seemed to be planning to go quietly, because there were too many people to hide.

She came up with a bad idea, "Why don't you go to Nichinan Jiuzhen to patrol the border? You always have a confidant general, right? Give the team to your confidant, and you start from the port on Jiuzhen's side and head north all the way, hurry up back."

Ye Ning raised his eyebrows, which is a good idea, "What if someone finds out that I'm not here?"

"If you can kill it, kill it. If you can't kill it, you have to find a way to deceive it."

Ye Ning is thoughtful, and will not accept the orders of the foreign emperor. Even if someone finds out that he is not there in the future, as long as he can come up with a tenable reason, the problem should not be too big.

Thinking of this, Ye Ning gritted his teeth, "I'll leave the round trip by sea to you."

Erniang Ruan immediately smiled and rolled her eyes, "Okay! The fee will be deducted from the annual interest."

Ye Ning said in a deep voice, "As long as the speed is fast, everything is easy to talk about."

Three days later, Ye Ning took 1000 people to Nichinan Jiuzhen to patrol the border.

In view of the fact that Butcher Zhao brought 3000 people to patrol the border and finally got back to the Tocharian land, so many people looked at him strangely when Ye Ning set off this time.

Fu Lun, Fu's father, the current governor of Jiaozhou, took Ye Ning's hand and urged, "We must hurry up and don't go to any place you shouldn't go or get involved in anything you shouldn't be involved in."

But don't go out like Butcher Zhao, who disappeared for three months and came back with three more counties!

Ye Ning coughed, turned his face away a little guilty, he did do some backhands, if everything goes well, then it’s fine, if something goes wrong... Cough, Xie Changfeng can leave him a lot of Laos and Nanzhao before he leaves Information, maybe going there for a while is also a good way to cover your whereabouts.

In this way, under the eager and expectant eyes of the governor of Jiaozhou and others, Ye Ning left with the guards. After he arrived in Jiuzhen County, he left 500 people as a show, and sent another 500 people to cross the Changshan Mountains. Go to a country called Laos to spy on intelligence.

Chang Shi, who was entrusted by the governor of Jiaozhou to follow Ye Ning to prevent him from convulsions, was going crazy. He hugged his horse's legs desperately, "Great Governor, you must think twice!!"

Ye Ning was serious, "Don't be so childish, I'm just going to patrol, I swear it's really just a patrol, you go to me!! I'm going to patrol the border, not to fight. !!"

Talking about Ye Ning's horse has been hugged into a ball by more than a dozen people, Ye Ning flew off the horse and rushed to the guard in a rage, turned on the horse and ran away quickly... ==

He just went to Beijing, but it was so difficult, Ye Ning scolded Zhao Butcher and Yun Zheng in his heart, and finally arrived at the pier within the appointed time, and got on the sea boat.

Beijing, here I come!

The alchemist exam came to an end, the great monk Xuantong came out on top and became Emperor Xuanming's most trusted person recently, even Qi Yuan had to retreat three points, this great monk Xuantong is also considered to be of a certain level, this guy is a man who has learned a lot in the last years of the previous dynasty Because of the suffering of the war, he had to avoid Taoism to seek peace and tranquility. Before he became a monk, he was still a moderate official, and he was also a well-educated man. Over the years, he has cultivated himself, read Buddhist scriptures, and studied the scriptures. Righteousness, the knowledge in the chest has accumulated more.

The Great Monk Xuantong has nothing to say about the government, and he also knows that he is easily framed by others, so whenever Emperor Xuanming asks him anything, he will use Buddhist Zen words to fool him, and he will not answer any questions. up.

After being fooled like this for more than a month, the officials of the six departments felt that this monk was quite self-aware. Qi Yuan did not lower his vigilance, but most of his energy was involved in Zuo Qingqiu's death. It doesn't look very tight.

Xie Changfeng volunteered to follow up every night, and even reluctantly gave up the evening benefits of the East Palace, but even so, he didn't find any problems.

"Maybe it's really just a monk seeking fame and fortune." Xie Changfeng comforted Qi Yuan.

Qi Zhao went to report to Emperor Xuanming every day, followed by studying government affairs, and had a lot of contact with the great monk. After returning, he said to Qi Yuan, "Father, Zen Master Xuantong seems to have some skills."

Qi Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What is it?"

Qi Zhao looked delighted, "Mom has been ill in bed for the past few days. I asked Zen Master Xuantong when my mother will recover, and the Zen master said ten days will be fine."

... Ten days, another ten days?

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, wait a minute, Xie Changfeng seemed to tell him a few days ago, that guy Ye Ning came by sea boat?Calculating the time, it seems that it is really about ten days later.

Mysterious?If it doesn't work, let's put the matter of grandpa aside and check this mystery.

Qi Yuan summoned Jia Yi that night, "After searching for so long, is there still no news?"

Jia Yi knelt in front of Qi Yuan on one knee, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, we have found a problem."

"Say."

"...Your Highness, do you still remember how His Highness the Crown Prince died?"

Qi Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, "What do you want to say?"

"Chen Jiu's teacher was the leader of the dark guards of the previous generation, but because of the death of the prince, he finally died in the dark prison. Chen Jiu has been investigating what happened back then on and off over the years." Jia Yi felt helpless, "But he only has one People, usually have to complete Commander Xie's tasks, so the speed of investigation is very slow."

Qi Yuan looked at Jia Yi with burning eyes, "Then is there any news?"

"A few days ago, Chen Jiu found out the knife maker who killed the servant of the first prince."

The knife maker is the person who executed the servant, that is to say, Chen Jiu found the person who killed the little servant Yanggen back then?

"Chen Jiu said that the knife maker's tongue was chopped off and he was unable to speak. Now the knife maker dares not do his old job, and instead goes to butcher pigs."

"..." Qi Yuan said subtly, "Butcher Zhao's pork shop has really benefited the masses of the people..."

A coughed and continued, "The knife maker can't speak, but he can write some words."

Qi Yuan quickly asked, "Did you find out anything?"

"The knife maker said that when he chopped up the little servant that day, a strong man came with him. At first the servant hesitated to go forward, but the man said, 'Don't forget your mother.'"

"...Wait, I remember that servant is the last descendant of the previous dynasty." Qi Yuan murmured, "After the imperial palace was breached, all those concubines committed suicide, unless..."

"Unless she is not a concubine, but an ordinary court lady!"

Qi Yuan took a deep breath, "That palace lady is still alive, someone controlled that palace lady, then asked that prince to enter the palace as a servant, and killed the current prince."

A Yi was silent.

Qi Yuan rubbed his temples, "Gu remember that the order I gave you was to go and take care of Zuo Shi, why did you tell Gu this?"

"...Because Yi San and Chen Jiu, who were sent to protect the Zuo family, met at the Zuo family's villa."

"What did you say?!"
