Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "We were indeed very careful along the way, but we never know where we might accidentally reveal our identities?" "The only thing I can think of now is Diao Chan. I suspect the problem lies with Diao Chan." Pan Yucheng said: "Are you saying that someone recognized Diao Chan as a war horse?" Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Xiuzhou is the territory of Prince Duan. Diao Chan is too beautiful and easy to attract attention... Except for the royal family and the military, who dares to ride a war horse?" "Maybe someone noticed Diao Chan when we entered the city." According to the Daxuan Law, anyone who dares to keep, ride, or sell war horses in the folk will be executed! Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "I'm used to Diao Chan's uniqueness, and I only remembered this matter when I arrived in Xiuzhou... It's really a mistake!" Pan Yucheng said: "It's not clear whether the problem lies with Diao Chan? In fact, these are not important... The important thing is what should we do next?" Ning Chen thought for a while and said: "Since the identity is exposed, we can only play an open card!"
"Old Pan, I'll delay time in Xiuzhou, you find a way to return to Beijing!" Pan Yucheng looked at him puzzled. Ning Chen's expression was serious: "I will deal with Prince Duan, you go back to Beijing immediately to ask for an order!" "First, please order your majesty to transfer the musket battalion to Xiuzhou." "Second, please order your majesty to let the 50,000 troops in Xiuzhou stay put, and no one can be mobilized." Pan Yucheng nodded slightly. "Old Pan, I will go to the Anping County government office first, make a big fuss, and attract Prince Duan... You take the opportunity to return to Beijing!" Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Then you must be careful!" Ning Chen nodded, "The same goes for you. I'm afraid it won't be smooth on the way back to Beijing!" Pan Yucheng didn't say anything more? He jumped on the horse and galloped away. Ning Chen frowned. Feng Qizhen comforted him: "Don't worry too much. We have already conquered the border... We will definitely pass this level." Ning Chen shook his head, "I am worried about another thing." "What is it?" "Yu Jian." Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "Yu Jian is left in the inn. If it is found by Prince Duan's people, then our last resort will be gone." "The loss of Yu Jian alone is enough to make me drink a pot." Feng Qizhen's face changed, "Then I will go to Xiuzhou and get Yu Jian." Ning Chen shook his head, "If our identity was exposed because of Diao Chan, then Prince Duan's people must be waiting in the inn, and they will die if they go back." "I can reveal my identity, but I don't believe they dare to kill the people from the Supervisory Office?"
Ning Chen glanced at him, "If you die, who can prove that you have revealed your identity? Besides... they dared to commit treason, so how can they kill someone from the Supervisory Department?" Feng Qi was puzzled, "Then if we go to the Yangping County government office now, aren't we also looking for death?" Ning Chen smiled and said, "So, we have to make a big noise... I am still somewhat famous in Daxuan, and we have to let everyone know that I have come to Yangping County." "What about Yu Jian?" Ning Chen sighed and said, "We can only rely on luck! I hid Yu Jian very secretly. Unless the people of Prince Duan are lucky, they will not find him." "Old Feng, go and bring the horse over, and we will go to the county government office." Feng Qi nodded and went to bring the horse. Ning Chen walked over and grabbed the leading yamen runner by the hair and lifted him up. "Do you know me?" The leading yamen runner shook his head with horror. Ning Chen said word by word, "Listen carefully... I am Yin Yi from the Daxuan Supervisory Department, Ning Chen." The leading yamen runner was stunned for a moment! "You, you are Ning Yinyi?" Ning Chen nodded. "Are you really Ning Yinyi?" "Absolutely genuine! How dare someone in Daxuan pretend to be me?" Ning Chen said, taking out his waist badge. The city guards of Xiuzhou City checked too strictly, and he had to hide this thing in his boots before bringing it in. The leading officer looked at the two words Ning Chen on the waist badge, his eyes shining. "Brothers, look, it's Ning Yinyi, the living Ning Yinyi... Ning Yinyi has come to our Yangping County." The officers who were wailing on the ground just now looked up. "Quick, quick, quick... Come here and pay homage to Ning Yinyi!" The officers on the ground quickly got up and surrounded him. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to Ning Yinyi." The officers hurriedly saluted and shouted in unison: "Greetings to Ning Yinyi!" The leading officer said excitedly: "Ning Yinyi, we brothers admire you... I never thought you would come to our Yangping County." "If we had known you were Ning Yinyi, we would never dare to fight you even if we were beaten to death?" Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead, which made him feel helpless.
"You all know me?" "Who in our Great Xuan doesn't know you, Ning Yinyi? You are a hero of our Great Xuan. You killed your way through the court of the Beidu King, captured the King of Beiting alive, and killed the uncle of the king in Chongzhou... I have read all the poems you wrote. They are so good." Ning Chen looked at the leading officer. This guy was suddenly so enthusiastic that he was embarrassed to ask for the fifty taels of silver. "You say you worship me, I'm fighting in the front, defending my country... but you're oppressing the people behind my back?" The leading officer was confused, "Ning Yinyi, we didn't oppress the people?" Ning Chen snorted coldly, "You set up checkpoints along the way, prohibiting people from entering and leaving, tricking them into planting fairy flowers, making people's lives miserable... and you still dare to say you didn't oppress the people?" The leading officer shrank his neck and said, "Ning Yinyi, have you misunderstood? The fairy flower is an important weapon of the country and was planted by His Majesty's decree. How can it be used to oppress the people?" Ning Chen: "???" He stared at the leading officer for a while and realized that he didn't seem to be lying. It seems that King Duan is pretending to pass on the imperial edict. These people are all low-level officials and are completely kept in the dark. Do they think they are serving the country? Ning Chen shook his head, got on his horse and ordered: "Blow the gong and tell the people of Yangping County that Ning is on an inspection tour!" Each team of these government officials has a small gong. When arresting a prisoner and finding traces of the prisoner, he can ring the gong to summon his companions nearby. "Da Xuanning, in silver clothes, was ordered to inspect Yangping County!" "Da Xuanning, in silver clothes, was ordered to inspect Yangping County!" "Da Xuanning, in silver clothes, was ordered to inspect Yangping County!" This group of officers walked in front, beating gongs and shouting loudly. Ning Chen and Feng Qi were following behind on horseback. It's relatively remote here. When we entered the county seat, as the government officials beat gongs and shouted, countless people poured in from all directions. They had heard a lot about Ning Chen's deeds, but they had never seen him in person. Everyone rushed over to see the famous Ning Yinyi. Ning Chen rode on the horse and kept waving to the people around him. "Fellows! I am Yinyi Ningchen, Supervisor of Daxuan. I am here to inspect Yangping County on your Majesty's orders... If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will make the decision for you."
