Chapter 162 Help
The two of them couldn't stop arguing, and neither of them would take a step back for a while.
Xie Jue felt uncomfortable, of course he knew that Ning Huaijin and Ning Yan had a deep bond, but something had happened to Ning Yan before, and he must not let Ning Huaijin get involved in danger again.
Ning Huaijin took a deep breath, and was about to say something more, when she heard someone from outside the tent come to see her.
Ning Huaijin didn't want to embarrass him by arguing with Xie Jue in front of her subordinates, so she held her breath forcefully in her chest and called to come in.
It was Ning Yan's personal guard who lifted the curtain and came in. He heard the dispute in the tent just outside, and he didn't dare to procrastinate for a while. After giving a military salute, he quickly explained the purpose of coming.
"My lord, general, there is a girl outside the camp asking to see you two." Qin Wei said, "She claims to be the second young lady of Zuo Xiangfu, her surname is Jiang."
——Jiang Ling?
Ning Huaijin and Xie Jue turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
How can she come?
But no matter what, the timing of Jiang Ling's arrival was too coincidental and inexplicable. No matter what the reason was, Ning Huaijin had to see her.
"Please come in." Ning Huaijin said.
Before Ning Huaijin finished speaking, she saw the curtain behind her was suddenly lifted from the outside.
Jiang Ling seemed to be waiting too anxiously outside the barracks, so he just broke in.Behind her were several soldiers guarding the camp, each with weapons in their hands, shouting and drinking.
"Everyone go down." Xie Jue waved his hand casually: "Everyone goes to everyone."
Xie Jue waved his subordinates away, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Ling's forearm, pulled her into the tent, and then lowered the curtain.
Second Miss Jiang was full of travel and dust, obviously not here for sightseeing, she took off her hood, glanced at Ning Huaijin and Xie Jue, and asked, "Where's Brother Yan?"
Ning Huaijin's heart ached.
Xie Jue obviously didn't expect that Second Miss Jiang would be able to poke at people's sore spots without knowing the foresight. She didn't answer for a while, so she couldn't help but frowned, and then remained silent.
The news of Ning Yan's disappearance was immediately sealed by Xie Jue with a military order, but Jiang Ling looked around Ning Huaijin's face carefully, and still felt some kind of ominous sign.
"Uncle Wang—"
"A Ling." Ning Huaijin interrupted her in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
"My brother had a dream a few days ago. He dreamed that Ziwei Xing disappeared. He felt that the dream was unknown, so he got up in the middle of the night and told my father behind his back to make a divination for Brother Yan... The situation is not good." Jiang Ling frowned. Pursing his lips, he said worriedly: "My brother said that the hexagram is full of dangers, and it looks like a dragon trapped in a shoal."
Ning Huaijin swayed, almost unable to stand still.
"My brother said that this hexagram is both good and bad, and there is also a chance to survive a desperate situation." Jiang Ling said: "But he said that this hexagram is dangerous, so he was worried. I was also worried after hearing it. After discussing it with him, I still tell him Father, my father let me come to the front line to see."
"Uncle Wang, where's Brother Yan?" Jiang Ling asked again, "I'm always restless if I don't see him."
Ning Huaijin didn't answer.
He didn't know what to say to Jiang Ling, saying that Jing Zhan was right?Or are you already late?
Fortunately, Xie Jue solved the problem, he coughed lightly, and drew Jiang Ling's attention away.
"Your Majesty..." Xie Jue stopped as soon as he opened his mouth. He seemed to have worked hard for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty was injured on the front line and accidentally fell into the enemy's formation. It's already—"
Jiang Ling frowned tightly, and asked, "What happened?"
"It has been taken away by Ning Zheng." Ning Huaijin continued the second half of the sentence.
Jiang Ling's face immediately turned cold.
"So, Ning Zheng captured Brother Yan?" Jiang Ling asked slowly.
"...You can also say that." Xie Jue rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "But fortunately, Ning Zheng dare not do anything to His Majesty, I guess he will lock His Majesty in a safe place first, and then Find a way to slowly grind out the imperial edict and the location of the jade seal from His Majesty. Only in this way can he have a chance to turn defeat into victory."
"Why would Brother Yan give it to him?" Jiang Ling said coldly, "Brother Yan has the most arrogant temper, how could he bow his head to Ning Zheng."
Ning Huaijin listened to their babble, but couldn't catch half a sentence.
Jiang Ling's arrival broke up his impulsiveness just now, and Ning Huaijin leaned against the corner of the desk, only feeling a sense of powerlessness.
——How is Ning Yan now? Whether the injury is serious or not, has Ning Zheng tormented him?
Ning Huaijin knew nothing about this.
Even at this point, Ning Huaijin still didn't understand why Ning Yan made such a fuss.
But no matter what, Ning Huaijin's subtle uneasiness finally came to fruition, and there was a reason why Ning Yan hesitated to speak a few times before.
——He must have made this preparation long ago, and wanted to go to Ning Zheng's hands.
Ning Huaijin took a deep breath, raised her hand and pressed her painful chest.
Xie Jue caught sight of Ning Huaijin's movements from the corner of his eye, and immediately stopped talking, fearing that if he said something wrong, he would provoke him again.
"There is no other way now." Ning Huaijin said in a low voice: "I will bring a team - the cavalry that needs to be sharpened. The number does not need to be too many, three to five thousand is enough. Let's try to see if we can intercept them. .”
Xie Jue didn't expect that he hadn't given up on this method of courting death, so he couldn't help being anxious: "Where are you going to intercept? It doesn't matter if His Majesty is in Luzhou now... Even if you take ten thousand steps back, His Majesty is still in Luzhou. What can you do, what are three or five thousand soldiers and horses enough for?"
As soon as Ning Huaijin was about to speak, Xie Jue made a stop gesture at him, and continued: "Okay, okay, take another ten thousand steps and say, let's take a large army to attack the city. At that time, Ning Zheng took His Majesty to stand on the city wall and ordered you to kill yourself with His Majesty's order, will you obey or not?"
Ning Huaijin choked suddenly.
"At that time, it will be a dilemma whether to follow or not to follow." Xie Jue walked around twice anxiously like a trapped animal, pointed at Ning Huaijin and said: "If you follow, our army has lost an arm, and your majesty's situation is even worse. Dangerous. If you don’t follow, even if His Majesty has no grievances against you, how will the people in the world think of you, and how will the court officials think of you.”
"In the current situation, Ning Zheng doesn't dare to act rashly, but neither do we." Xie Jue said earnestly, "My lord, Ning Zheng has something against you."
Ning Huaijin was speechless.
After listening for a while, Jiang Ling roughly understood the concerns of the two of them. She was silent for a while, then stepped forward to separate Ning Huaijin and Xie Jue.
"Uncle Wang, uncle." Jiang Ling said in a cold tone, "You two don't have to argue like this, I have a solution."
Ning Huaijin and Xie Jue were taken aback at the same time, and turned their heads to look at Jiang Ling in unison.
"What?" Ning Huaijin hesitated, "Did your father say anything?"
"That's not true." Jiang Ling shook his head and said, "He just said to let me figure it out. If there's anything I need, I'll just help."
"But you are a daughter's family. Swords and swords on the battlefield are no more comfortable than in the rivers and lakes." Xie Jue shook his head and said, "I know you are good at martial arts, but these are two different things."
"Uncle." Jiang Ling said seriously, "I'm going to find Ning Zheng."
"No." Before Xie Jue could speak, Ning Huaijin asserted first: "Your Majesty hasn't snatched it back yet, so should we give him another one for nothing?"
Jiang Ling looked at Ning Huaijin calmly for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and untied his hair tie.
Before Xie Jue could stop him, Jiang Ling's long hair fell down in an instant, draping softly on his shoulders.
"A Ling—" Ning Huaijin said in a daze, "What is this for?"
Jiang Ling didn't speak, she lowered her head slightly, bit the headband between her teeth, then combed her long hair quickly with her hands and feet, and used the headband to re-tie a boy's bun.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ling took out a simple sandalwood hairpin from his pocket and tied it behind his hair.
After finishing all this, Jiang Ling threw the loose long hair behind him, lifted the hair in front of his forehead, raised his jaw slightly, and looked at Ning Huaijin and Xie Jue with half-down eyes.
"Uncle Wang, uncle." Jiang Ling asked, "Do I look like my brother?"
Ning Huaijin was taken aback for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Jue also realized what Jiang Ling meant.
Although Jing Zhan and Jiang Ling have different surnames, they are indeed biological brothers and sisters, and their eyebrows and eye contours are somewhat similar.
In addition, Second Miss Jiang has been in the rivers and lakes all year round, and she doesn't have the temperament of a noble girl who is weak and willow, so when she pulls her long hair up and looks at it coldly, she really has a bit of Jingzhan's charm.
Coupled with the fact that their children are still young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they have not yet fully opened up, if Jiang Ling is asked to change into a teenager's clothes, maybe they can really deceive Ning Zheng.
"Since Ning Zheng used auspicious omens as an excuse, he must have listened to the words of the heirs of Kunlun." Jiang Ling said, "Besides, the name of Kunlun is resounding all over the world. Don’t dare to really go against the way of heaven.”
Xie Jue hadn't thought of such a trick before, and suddenly couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his head and glanced at Ning Huaijin.
Jing Zhan's name is really useful. Jing Zhan has been in the capital all these years, but his reputation has spread thousands of miles. No one knows that Ning Yan has a Kunlun national teacher beside him.
"Or in other words, since Ning Zheng values false fame so much, having a Kunlun descendant is not more useful than some troublesome child?" This is bound to convince the two uncles in front of me.
"Both Uncle Wang and Uncle Uncle can't do anything, so it's best for me to go." Jiang Ling said, "Even if I went alone, Ning Zheng would only treat me as a guest and serve me with good water and tea." ——At that time, it will be more convenient for me to find brother Yan than the two uncles."
"But—" Ning Huaijin pursed her lips and said, "But if he finds out that you are not Jing Zhan, but..."
"So what, does he dare to kill me, or dare to move a finger of mine?" Jiang Ling said coldly: "My father and my brother are destined by the destiny, and they don't like to do those things that are unconscionable in their lives, but If Ning Zheng really dares to touch me, he will have to make him pay in blood, and the ancestors of the direct line will live in peace for generations to come."
Ning Yan's situation was unknown, and Ning Huaijin was not indifferent to having such a big help sent up.
If it was Jing Zhan who came, Ning Huaijin would definitely agree without saying a word, but Jiang Ling is a girl after all, how could Ning Huaijin not say "yes" so easily, it would be nothing.
Jiang Ling saw that he was hesitating, so he didn't say any more. Instead, he untied the sword from his waist and slapped it on the desk instead.
"Uncle Wang." Jiang Ling chuckled, and said contemptuously, "Hiding, stealth, assassination—these skills of the Emperor's Shadow Guard are all left over from my Kunlun game."
