Ning Chen and Feng Qizheng settled in the backyard of the county government office. For safety reasons, the two of them live in the same room so that if anything happens, they can take care of each other. In the evening, Qiu Mingde prepared a banquet for them. But Ning Chen refused because he felt unwell. He didn't dare to eat anything from Qiu Mingde. Although Qiu Mingde openly dared not kill himself, what if he put some chronic poison in his food? Although it is just a guess, it is always right to be careful. Ning Chen and Feng Qi were hiding in the room, eating dry food and not even daring to drink tea. Feng Qizheng took out two pieces of dry food and knocked it, making a clanging sound! "There's only two of these left... We can't last more than a few days."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Be patient, I will take you out to eat well tomorrow... Qiu Mingde can't poison the food in the entire county, right?" Feng Qizheng nodded and immediately asked: "How long will we stay here?" Ning Chen shook his head, "When Lao Pan brings people here... Qiu Mingde doesn't dare to kill us in Yangping County. It's more than three hundred miles from Yangping County to Xiuzhou City. We're afraid we won't be able to make it alive." Feng Qizheng said: "You are an imperial envoy now. If something happens, he will also have to bear the responsibility." Ning Chen chuckled, "Is it difficult to find a few people to pretend to be bandits? Then they kill people and silence them... hand over the bodies. The rest of the responsibility is not big, they can afford it." "Old Feng, we have been out and about more these days... On the way to the county government, I have already revealed my identity, but the people did not dare to come to me to complain. It seems that we are the only one to go to them." Feng Qizheng nodded. On the other side, Qiu Mingde has received a letter from Xiuzhou. "Sir, what does the above say?" Master asked. He didn't have time to read the letter when he received it, and sent it directly to Qiu Mingde. Qiu Mingde's face was extremely solemn, and his eyes were filled with fear. "We still underestimated Ning Chen... It said that Ning Chen had just returned from a great victory. He captured Fuzhou and regained the border. He had great military exploits." "After returning to Beijing, His Majesty arranged for him to marry the Ninth Princess. He is now the consort and is deeply favored by His Majesty." The master was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, "This...how is this possible? Why haven't we received any news about these things?" Qiu Mingde said in a deep voice: "The imperial palace newspaper was only sent to Xiuzhou yesterday, and it is estimated that it will take two days to reach all counties." "What does it mean?" Qiu Mingde sighed, "The higher ups asked us not to touch Ning Chen. He has just returned from a great victory. If something happens, the sky in Xiuzhou will collapse." The master was worried, "Ning Chen must be here for that matter. If we don't stop it, what will he find? We will be completely ruined."
Qiu Mingde nodded slightly, "So, we must not let Ning Chen find anything? We must let him find nothing and return empty-handed." "Master, what if he has found evidence?" Qiu Mingde's eyes darkened, he thought for a while, and then lowered his voice and said, "Send two skilled people to search Ning Chen's room at night. If any evidence is found, bring them all back." "Let them be careful, Ning Chen is someone who has been on the battlefield." The master nodded: "Yes!" ... On the other side, in the room, Feng Qi was yawning. "No more chatting! I'm almost exhausted after a busy day. Go to bed early!" Ning Chen said: "Go to sleep. I'll watch the first half of the night, and you can watch the second half of the night." Feng Qizheng muttered: "Do you need to be so careful? Didn't you say that Qiu Mingde didn't dare to touch us in Yangping County?" "According to common sense, they don't dare to touch us, but what if they don't follow common sense? It's always a good idea to be cautious and keep a guard up." Seeing Feng Qizheng huffing and puffing, Ning Chen also yawned. This thing is contagious. "Okay, hurry up and go to sleep. Get up in the middle of the night and take over for me." Feng Qizheng snorted... Within three seconds, he began to purr. Damn it! ! ! Ning Chen was shocked. Sleeping in seconds is awesome. This guy is really heartless. Ning Chen moved a chair to the window, opened the window a crack, then extinguished the candle, and observed the situation outside through the crack in the window. The moon is very bright tonight, it is dark inside and bright outside, and the situation in the yard can be seen clearly. It was okay at first, but towards the middle of the night, Ning Chen couldn't open his eyes. He patted his face and opened his eyelids with his hands, looking like a fool. What don’t people feel when they are busy? But sitting here quietly, it is easy to feel sleepy. After another half hour, Ning Chen couldn't bear it any longer and stood up to wake up Feng Qizheng. But suddenly, his eyes shrank, and there seemed to be a black shadow flashing under the eaves opposite. Ning Chen suddenly became energetic, and his eyes became sharp, staring at the shadow under the eaves of the opposite house. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. There were dark shadows moving in the shadows under the eaves of the opposite house.
Ning Chen came to Feng Qi's bed and was about to wake him up. Unexpectedly, Feng Qi suddenly opened his eyes and stared at them with two big eyes, which startled Ning Chen. Isn't this guy asleep? No, he was snoring so loudly just now, he must have fallen asleep... It only means that this guy is actually very alert, sleeping and waking up in seconds. Ning Chen came to his senses and made a silence gesture before Feng Qizheng spoke. Feng Qizheng nodded and lowered his voice: "What's wrong?" "somebody is coming!" ... In the yard, two people, wearing night clothes and black cloth covering their faces, used the shadow under the eaves to touch the bottom of Ning Chen's window. One of them found that the window was open a crack. He quietly approached and squinted his eyes to look into the room. The room was pitch black, and only a bed could be seen. There was a person lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping soundly. Immediately, he squatted down, took out a piece of incense the length of his little finger, lit it with a fire stick, and then another man in black took out a piece of bamboo tube. He stuffed the incense into the bamboo tube, reached in through the gap in the window, and blew gently at one end. The smoke from the burning incense floated into the room along the other end of the bamboo tube. Ning Chen quietly opened his eyes a crack. The moonlight tonight was very bright, and he saw the other party's actions clearly. Fuck! ! ! Incense? I have only seen this thing in TV dramas and movies before, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would experience it in person. Ning Chen slept near the back window, and he quietly opened the back window a crack. The smoke that blew into the room floated out of the back window along with the breeze. After the incense in the bamboo tube burned out, the two men in black squatted under the window and waited for about a quarter of an hour before they started to act. Ning Chen quietly closed the back window, then squinted his eyes and watched the two men in black gently push open the window and then climb in. After entering, the two separated, one tiptoed towards Ning Chen, and the other towards Feng Qizheng. The man in black who came to Ning Chen's bed gently pushed Ning Chen, then squatted down quickly... After a while, he looked up and saw that Ning Chen did not respond, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and said to the other man in black in a low voice: "They fainted, hurry up!" The man in black first searched Ning Chen's cloak hanging on the side, but found nothing... Then he came to the bed, lifted the quilt, and searched Ning Chen. The situation is the same with Feng Qizhen.
