When they left the Southern Prefecture, Shen Lingjue did not get on the carriage. Instead, he rode in front of the convoy.
At night, the caravan reached a mountain pass near the wolf's teeth.
Chu Zhao waved his hand for the carriage to stop, looking at the steep cliffs on both sides, he reported to Shen Ling Jue, "Prince, in front of us is the village of Long Mulan."
Shen Ling Jue turned his head to look at Feng Ning Yan's carriage, lightly saying, "Tell the wangfei, we're going to change the carriage here."
When Feng Ningyan and Lan Zhu got off the carriage, Chu Zhao had someone push the empty carriage into a deep ditch.
The ravine was at least a few hundred feet deep. If the carriage fell down, it would definitely be smashed to smithereens.
Lan Zhu said worriedly, "How did you destroy the car? Princess Hua-Yang's body has just recovered, how can she ride a horse? "
Feng Ning Yan replied, "Because we're going to disguise ourselves as merchants, so the whereabouts of the men from King Yu's Estate must be erased from this place so that the enemy won't be able to discover us."
The Crown Prince's assassins were brutal, for the time being, as long as the Crown Prince was able to secretly inform the Southern Wilderness of Shen Ling Jue's whereabouts, Shen Ling Jue and his men would be trapped in there, unable to escape.
When Shen Ling Jue heard Feng Ning Yan's voice, his heart warmed. Separated by the guards, he looked at her from afar.
As they passed through the mountain pass, they saw scattered farmhouses in the valley in front of them. They were built along the mountain, and they called themselves villages. This was the village of Long Mulan.
When they arrived at a small courtyard, they saw two luxurious carriages parked in the yard. It was definitely not something these kind of families could afford.
At this moment, the doors to the farmhouse opened. Two people walked out from the house, they were people that Feng Ningyan recognized.
This tall and handsome man was the chief guard of King Yu's Mansion, Jing Zhan.
He had actually made it all the way to Ningnan County. Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
He and Chu Zhao were Shen Ling Jue's right-hand men. Since both of them were together, it would naturally be safer.
And the girl dressed in the plain maid attire beside Jing Qi was actually Nangong Xingyao!
"Young Master!" "Head storekeeper!"
Nangong Xing Yao hopped in front of Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan and shouted loudly.
This form of address caused Feng Ningyan to be stunned. "What Young Master, Manager Ning?" Could this Nangong Xingyao be forgetful?
Jing Qi smiled as he led Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan into the living room and closed the door. Then, he said:
"We are going to the Southern Wilderness to disguise ourselves as guests who wish to purchase medicinal herbs. The prince is the young master and the wangfei is the head storekeeper. As for us, the guards have become waiters and coachmen. Nothing has changed, just that I want to make it difficult for Princess Consort to pass off as a man. "
Feng Ningyan lowered her head to look at the men's clothing on her body. She smiled and asked, "Do you still need to dress up?"
Nangong Xing Yao stood up and placed two whiskers on Feng Ning Yan's lips, "The head storekeeper obviously cannot have a pretty boy face. Nangong Xing stood up and used two whiskers on Feng Ning Yan's lips," The head storekeeper obviously cannot have a pretty boy face.
Shen Ling Jue's face sank: "Presumptuous."
Nan Gong Xingyao giggled, "Yes, yes, yes. Young master is not a pretty boy, he's a handsome young master. "I am just a young maid. I dare not be so presumptuous anymore."
Feng Ningyan quickly made Nangong Xing Yao sit down and asked, "Pavilion Master, we've already been meeting for seven days and it just so happens that it's now seven days. I wonder how things are going in the Henan Province?"
"Of course it's done properly." Nangong Xing laughed as he looked at Jing Qi, "I personally stole the evidence and handed it over to Lord Jing. "Prince Cheng would never have thought that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind it. He wanted to grab hold of the crown prince's weakness, but he allowed us to obtain evidence of his corruption in Henan Province."
Jing Qi nodded and said, "Please be at ease, Your Highness and the wangfei. The evidence is conclusive. Your subordinate has already placed the evidence in the Thousand Blessings Pavilion and will have to wait for Your Highness's permission to deal with it."
The corner of Shen Ling Jue's mouth rose slightly, "Now Prince Cheng must be guessing who stole the evidence."
Chu Zhao laughed, "Of course it's the Crown Prince. Only the Crown Prince knows about the existence of this evidence, and only the Crown Prince is afraid of it falling into the hands of Prince Cheng."
Feng Ning Yan replied, "The two of them should have already started guessing with each other by now, but it's impossible for them to be able to explain this matter to each other. The fight will get even more intense. We can finally take a breather and investigate the matter of the crown prince's assassination in the south. "
Shen Ling Jue was very pleased to see that Feng Ning Yan had finally returned to her previous state.
Nangong Xingyao was extremely happy, "This voting party has been established. Princess Hua-Yang, you should keep your word and bring me to the Southern Wilderness!"
"Alright, let's go together!" Shen Lingjue resolutely agreed.
After changing into a new attire, Feng Ning Yan pasted her mustache and walked out, causing Lan Zhu and A Yao to laugh so hard they were forced to stagger back and forth.
Jing Qi and Chu Zhao did not dare to laugh, while Shen Ling Jue took a glance at him and broke into a smile.
Feng Ning Yan grabbed a peanut from the table and threw it over. "All of you don't even need to put on makeup, you're asking me to stick to my beard and still have the nerve to smile!? "Jingqi, are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"
"How would I dare? If the head storekeeper doesn't mind, it's fine to disguise as a heavily madame with heavy makeup." Jing Qi quickly became serious.
Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but look at Shen Ling Jue, and coincidentally, he was also looking at her. She hastily lowered her head.
She was already an imperial concubine, so it was natural for her to play the role of mistress.
However, if he and Shen Ling Jue were to still pretend to be husband and wife, in order to avoid being exposed, they would definitely have to get along day and night.
"Forget it, wearing heavy makeup is even more unsuitable for me. I'll just stick to my beard."
Lan Zhu stood at the side, looking worriedly at the elated people around her.
Seeing Lan Zhu's expression, Jing Qi thought that she was afraid of going to the Southern Wilderness, so he said: "Lan Zhu, you don't know martial arts, so you don't have to go south with us. "Right now, the people in this village are all villagers disguised as one of our own. You just have to stay here and wait for us."
Lan Zhu shook his head. "Lan Zhu will go wherever you go, but her body …" Can we really travel a long distance? "
"She can."
Without waiting for Feng Ning Yan to speak, Shen Ling Jue had already spoken up for her.
Feng Ningyan held Lan Zhu's hand and advised, "Lan Zhu, we're going to the southern border to handle important matters. It might be dangerous. You just have to listen to Jingqi and stay in the village of Long Mulan."
Lan Zhu's eyes reddened as she turned around and kneeled down towards Shen Ling Jue and the rest. "My prince, Brother Jing, Imperial Guard Chu, I'll leave my young miss to you … "You must bring her back safely …"
Nangong Xingyao hurriedly helped Lan Zhu up. "Little girl, don't worry. It's just a trip to the Southern Wilderness. To the prince and the princess, it's just a sightseeing trip. It's not as scary as you think."
It wasn't easy to calm Lan Zhu down and let her stay in this farmhouse. Feng Ning Yan, Shen Ling Jue and the rest took advantage of the darkness to rush to Dragon Fang.
Originally, one carriage carried the selling goods of the Southern Wilderness. Feng Ning Yan and Ah Yao rode in the other carriage, and the men were all riding fast horses. As a result, their speed was very fast. In less than two hours, they reached Dragon Fang.
In the moonlight, one could only see the divine beasts and the cornices on the rooftops of the houses, as well as the flag of the Southern Ning Army fluttering in the breeze.
