Although there was only a short sentence on this visiting card, Ning Chen knew very well who sent this visiting card? The empress stole a seed from him... and now this seed has taken root and sprouted! This is what he was most worried about at the beginning? What you fear is what will happen! Ning Chen closed the card and couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Emperor Xuan knew about this, his fate could be imagined? At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door. "Fourth Master, the doorman is here!" Uncle Chai's voice sounded outside the door. Ning Chen restrained his emotions, "Let him in!"
The door curtain was lifted, and Uncle Chai walked in with a sturdy middle-aged man. The doorman was brought by Gu Yichun, and he remembered that his name seemed to be Zhu Yuan. "Meet the Marquis!" Zhu Yuan leaned over and saluted respectfully. Ning Chen raised the visiting card in his hand, "Do you remember who sent this visiting card?" Zhu Yuan glanced at the words on the outside of the visiting card, thought about it, nodded and said: "I remember... It was a middle-aged man with a strong body, light steps, and he should be very good at fighting." Ning Chen hummed, "What else did he say?" Zhu Yuan recalled and said: "He said he was a servant of the Wu Mansion and came to ask his master to borrow a book." "What book?" Zhu Yuan thought for a long time this time before saying: "It seems to be the Great Xuan Shengshi Lu." Ning Chen nodded, "Anything else?" Zhu Yuan shook his head, "No, that's all I said." Ning Chen hummed and waved, "Uncle Chai, you go down first!" After the two bowed and left, Ning Chen got up and went to the study. He found the Great Xuan Shengshi Lu on the bookshelf and leaned on the desk to read it carefully. But he finished half of the book and didn't find anything? This is a book that flatters the royal family. It describes the great achievements of the emperors of Daxuan and the peaceful scenes of the people living and working in peace. Ning Chen read it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what it was about? He threw the book on the table and prepared to tell the doorman to arrest the person who sent the visiting card in the future.
But when he reached the door, Ning Chen's steps paused and he turned back. He remembered that the empress once said to him something inexplicable and asked him to remember it. The beginning and the end are connected, the last is seven, and the last is a multiple of seven, and so on! Is this a code? Ning Chen took a pen and paper and wrote down while flipping through the book. Soon, a sentence jumped on the paper: Wuyou Escort Agency, waiting for you! Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, burned the paper and the visiting card into ashes, changed into casual clothes, and went out! ...... The moon is dark and the wind is high. Ning Chen rode an ordinary horse and came to Wuyou Escort Agency at night. He went forward and rang the door knocker. With a creak, the door opened. A thin old man looked at Ning Chen, who was wearing a cloak and a hood, and was not surprised. Because there were many people who came to entrust escorts in the middle of the night, most of them were things that could not be seen in the light. "Please come in!" Ning Chen stepped in and lowered his voice, "I want to see your chief escort!" The doorman closed the door, "Please follow me." Ning Chen followed the doorman and came to the door of a room in the backyard. The candlelight in the room flickered, and a tall figure was reflected on the window. "Chief escort, someone is looking for you." After a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in a tight suit, with a strong body and dark and rough skin. He stared at Ning Chen for a while, then said to the doorman: "You go down first!" After the doorman retreated, the middle-aged man made a gesture to Ning Chen to invite him. Ning Chen put his hands behind his back, gripped the hilt of the dagger, and then stepped in. The middle-aged man closed the door, and just as he turned around, his body stiffened, and a sharp dagger was pressed against his throat. The middle-aged man looked at Ning Chen calmly. Ning Chen said: "Did you send the visiting card?" The middle-aged man hummed!
"A spy from the Wu Kingdom?" The middle-aged man hummed again. Ning Chen sneered, "You are so honest, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?" "My Lord will not... Even if he kills me, the truth cannot be covered up." Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "Can't it be covered up? If I don't admit it, who will believe that my seeds will take root and sprout in the land of Wu State?" "My Lord has been helpless and hard-lived since he was a child... He shouldn't want his children to be the same, right?" Ning Chen frowned slightly and sneered, "His mother is the ruler of a country, is there anyone who dares to abuse him?" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "If the master sits firmly on the throne and rests easy, he will definitely not take a radical approach or make risky moves." Ning Chen's eyes flashed, "Is she in trouble?" The middle-aged man nodded slightly. Ning Chen stared at him, "What's your name?" "Silence." "How long have you been lurking in Daxuan Capital?" "Five years." "How many spies do you have in Daxuan Capital?" "About a thousand." Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you too honest?" "The master ordered that you don't have to hide it from the Marquis... After all, you are the child's father, and blood is thicker than water." Ning Chen's face twitched fiercely. "She even told you this kind of thing, it seems that she trusts you very much." Silence said in a deep voice: "The Marquis can also trust me." Ning Chen's eyes gradually became sharp, "I think it's better to kill you, you know too much." Silence said: "Wen Zizhen!" "What?" "After I die, Wen Zizhen will take my place. You can trust him." "Then there is no point in killing you?" Ning Chen slowly retracted the dagger, turned around and walked to the table and sat down. Silent touched his neck, walked over and poured Ning Chen a cup of tea!
Ning Chen played with the dagger and said casually: "Tell me, what troubles did she encounter?" Silent nodded and slowly said, "Regent Song Tiancheng..." After Silent finished speaking, Ning Chen understood the general situation. Song Tiancheng, the regent of Wu State, is the master behind the Empress of Wu State. After the Empress ascended the throne, the regent mastered half of the power of Wu State. Now, the ambition of the regent has been revealed...not only wants the throne, but also the Empress. The Empress tried to seize power several times, but all ended in failure! It turns out that the Grand Master did not turn to the Empress, but to Song Tiancheng, the regent of Wu State. Song Tiancheng's troops were tied up by the Tuola Kingdom at the time and could not come to support. The empress led an army of 150,000 to the border. On the surface, she was supporting the Grand Tutor, but in fact, she wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the Grand Tutor's military power or destroy the Grand Tutor's army. In short, Song Tiancheng must not be allowed to get the Grand Tutor's 200,000 troops. But halfway through, she received news that the Grand Tutor had lost in Yuzhou... and then Ning Chen led the army to the border. The empress delayed time on the road. Her original plan was to wait for Ning Chen and the Grand Tutor to fight each other and she would reap the benefits. But what the empress did not expect was that when she arrived after a long delay, she did not see a loss of both sides, but the Grand Tutor was killed and the Grand Tutor's army was conquered by Ning Chen. When the empress saw Ning Chen's ability, a crazy plan formed in her mind... That's why the later incident of drugging and stealing seeds happened.
