【Back 271】Who owns the black clothes in the border town?

Xiao Sa paused and sighed: "Why did Junhou come to the north? I dare not ask too much. No matter what kind of thought you have reported to help the north, I am still very grateful that you can fight to the death to defend the border city and ensure the safety of the people in this city. I even thought that Junhou can stay for a little longer to resolve the difficulties of the Great Wei border with me. But... I also need to consider Brother Cao, and you need to consider your mother. If Junhou continues to stay here, it will be detrimental to Mrs. Cao."

Ning Nanyou twisted the clothes on his knees, and his dull expression gradually returned to clear light. He felt a little moved in his heart: "Uncle Xiao's concerns... I also thought about it. However, I still haven't found out some things. I may need uncle, you have to protect me for a few more days..."

Xiao Sa looked hesitant and asked carefully and tentatively: "I dared to ask... The reason why Junhou wanted to stay for a few more days is it for the sake of Qian Hui and Zhao Fu, the chief general of Changming Army who disappeared with Deng Qing?"

The young man in front of him had indeed stagnated. Xiao Sa's heart skipped a beat and guessed his true relationship with Qian Hui and Zhao Fu.

Xiao Sa is very smart and alert. Just asking this question can tell many things from Ning Nanyou's expression.

He knew in his heart that the Marquis of Huaiyin led 40,000 Jingshu to the north, probably not just because he noticed the abnormal movements of the Huns. Among them, it is very likely that it involves party struggles. Although Xiao Sa pretended to be confused on the surface, it did not mean that he was not clear in his heart. He did not want to get involved in the grudges between the Huai Palace and the Taiwei Palace. He just wanted to keep the peace of the Great Wei Dynasty, the peace of the people of Yongzhou, and the comprehensiveness of pacifying the royal palace.

Ning Nanyou remained silent, so Xiao Sa had to bypass this topic: "Since Jun and Hou refused to say more, it would be rude to ask questions again. But... I hope Jun and Hou can listen to something... try to leave the north as soon as possible."

After the words came, the young man in front of him nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Xiao, at most half a month, this marquis will leave the northern land with the Jingshuwei."

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Sa couldn't bear to breathe a sigh of relief, so he bowed and said, "Since that's the case, I feel relieved. I also asked the Lord to rest for a long time, so I took my leave first."

Ning Nanyou watched him leave. The moment the door closed, Qingming's expression suddenly dropped and became dim.

Lu Xun and Ji Xianzhi had been waiting in the Shuiting courtyard for a long time. After Xiao Sa left the house and walked out of the screen wall, he jumped out of the winding corridor and followed the corridor to the master bedroom.

Inside the house, Ning Nanyou had rolled the wooden wheel to the edge of the bed, supported it with his arms, and moved it back to the bed with some difficulty before he sat down. The two of them had already pushed the door open and entered outside the house.

"Lord!" Ji Xianzhi called out, and Lu Xun followed him and walked behind the curtain together.

Ning Nanyou raised his eyes and looked up, his eyes fell on Ji Xianzhi first, then glanced at Lu Xun, and then said with great thoughts: "Uncle Ji is here...but what did you find?"

Ji Xianzhi opened his mouth and glanced at his heavy expression, and he was hesitant immediately. He lowered his head, frowned and thought about words, but Lu Xun could no longer wait. He poked his elbow on his back and lowered his voice, "Mr. Ji? What's the lord asking you? Why don't you speak?"

Ji Xianzhi didn't want to pay attention to him, so Lu Xun had to hold his voice in his mouth and stood behind and wait anxiously.

Although Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes, Yu Guangshui saw everything and felt more and more panic.

For a moment, Ji Xianzhi seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Old slave... I did find some important clues. The lord needs to be prepared before listening."

Lu Xun, who was beside him, looked back and forth on Ji Xianzhi's face, wondering what his last sentence meant?

Ning Nanyou's eyebrows hopped, his voice hoarse and faintly said: "Tell me, I'm ready."

Ji Xianzhi then told him the news he had found over the past day: "Lu Xun and I specially asked the Biancheng County Magistrate for nearly half a year. The records of people entering and leaving the city were carefully searched according to the direction you said by the lord. Sure enough, we found a caravan with very vague identity information. This team came from Yuzhang and arrived in the north... half a month later than you and Lu Xun.

According to the calculations, this group of people should have left Huai Kingdom a month and a half ago. Originally, based on this information, it was difficult to infer who was behind the scenes... But in the early morning of this day, Lao Nu received a letter from Yuancheng who ordered people to whip to the north eight days ago. The letter said... A month and a half ago, the man pretending to be Zhou Yuanmo also acted secretly, came out of Yuzhang and headed towards the north."

He was in the presence of Lu Xun and did not dare to tell the matter out. He tried to convey the matter as tactfully as possible and secretly conveyed Ning Nan's worries. He was very nervous and did not know how the young man would react.

After he finished speaking patiently, Lu Xun stepped forward and said, "I followed Mr. Ji for one day and investigated the traces of this group of people in the border town, but did not find any contact with the prefect. On that day, the lady was injured in your room. My subordinates and Qianshan also privately asked the guards on duty one by one, but found nothing.

However... According to the manager of the prefect's office, it seemed that on that day, a doctor with a face-to-faced man entered the mansion with the Queen's close-fitting jade pendant. Because at that time, it was the time when the Grandpa Li led the entire city's military and civilians to the Xiongnu and Xianbei to fight against each other. Therefore, the manager was deeply impressed, but he did not dare to let him go, so he did not stop him. In the border city, the only person who could get the Queen's jade pendant was the Shui Pavilion who was following her. The subordinates wanted to follow this clue to investigate, but found that there seemed to be no doctor in the water pavilion in the border city."

The words "Doctor" fell into Ning Nan's worry, which made him tremble involuntarily. His white and slender fingers curled, and a trace of resentment suddenly increased around him.

The temperature inside the house dropped sharply, and the coldness spread from the surroundings of the husband, slowly spreading like fog. Lu Xun shook unconsciously, raised his arms, and looked at the young man on the couch in a daze. He saw his face dark, his eyes drooping gloomy, as if he was holding a faint anger.

Lu Xun didn't know what he said wrong, so why did he suddenly touch Ning Nanyou's defense line, causing his attitude to suddenly change? He was at a loss, even trembling, shrank his head, and carefully tentatively: "Lord... what did my subordinate say wrong? Why are your face so ugly?"

He did not notice that Ji Xianzhi, who was standing beside him, had a look of light and darkness at this moment.

Lu Xun was outside the situation and saw that the husband did not answer, he became even more panicked. Just as he was about to continue asking, Ji Xianzhi blocked his words: "Chengzhong...you go down first, and then carefully check the identity of the doctor. The people in the Water Pavilion have always been meticulous and difficult to find traces. Maybe you have ignored some clues and have not found this person. I and my lord should carefully discuss...the border matters."

Ji Xianzhi said a few casually, and even used the border battle to evade Lu Xun.

Lu Xun Sumei always felt that Ji Xianzhi and Ning Nanyou had hidden something from him.

He didn't dare to ask too much, and looked up at Ning Nanyou. The man on the couch was too lazy to look at him. He raised his chin slightly to express his agreement, and then said nothing again.

Lu Xunluo was full of questions, and he was holding his words in his heart, looking depressed, and said reluctantly: "Here... I'm going to leave."

Ji Xianzhi looked at him without looking at him, and he didn't look at him until he left the door, and his tense expression relaxed.

Ning Nanyou's face turned pale and he was silent for a while before he asked slowly: "Uncle Ji...you can speak openly." He knew in his heart that Ji Xianzhi did not tell Lu Xun all the people and clues that Yuan Cheng found in Huai Kingdom. At least the gangster doctor who had been with Jiang Chengjia for many years, Lu Xun knew nothing about it.

He also knew that Ji Xianzhi chose not to tell Lu Xun about this in order to protect his relationship with Jiang Chengjia. Lu Xun was impatient. If he knew about this, he might not know what he would do. If he caused a misunderstanding, he would not only hurt him, but also hurt Jiang Chengjia.

Ji Xianzhi seemed a little slow and stopped for a while before saying, "Yuan Cheng found out... Qin Ye, also known as Lu Sheng, was Yu Zhang who left with Zhou Yuanmo's subordinates. Although the traces afterwards were faintly visible and could not be found, the direction he left was also towards the north.

In addition... what Lu Xun said just now, the old slave believed that the group of men in black who kidnapped Deng Qing and knocked out Qian Hui and Zhao Fu were the ones who left Huai Country with Qin Ye. In addition... the old slave..."

He said this, paused for a moment, staring at Ning Nanyou with his eyes fixed on him.

He sighed and said, "Uncle Ji, just say whatever you want. Don't take into account my feelings."

Ji Xianzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his voice and said, "I asked Lu Xun in detail what time the woman arrived in the north... It happened to be the time when Qin Ye and his group entered the border town. Such a coincidence is probably not simple."

He dared not say anything else.

But Ning Nanyou knew what he meant was so obvious, so there was no need to say much.

The house suddenly fell into a silence, terrifying quietness.

Ji Xianzhi didn't even dare to look up at the young man on the couch, and stood close to the edge of the curtain without saying a word.

After a long time, Ning Nanyou closed his eyes and said bitterly: "Qin Ye...is the doctor who accompanied her and Jiang Chengyi. He left the capital and went to Huai State to meet with Zhou Yuanmo's subordinates, and he must get the instructions from Shui Pavilion. Others don't know about this, but the Jiang brothers and sisters must know about it. Now all these have shown that... the force supported by Zhou Yuanmo is inseparable from Shui Pavilion."

Although he said that, he still couldn't believe it...

Jiang Cheng treated him well, he could feel her goodness. Her appearance was deeply engraved in his heart when she was desperate for him.

Lost, absurd, ridiculous, entangled like a vine, wrapping him up so that he could not breathe.

He wanted to rush to the ear room and questioned her directly, and the complex emotions in his heart were complex.
