Pei Shi stood outside the window, vigilantly looking around in case anyone discovered him. After all, he was the leader of the assassins, so he couldn't see the light of day.
"Master Pei, this consort was just worrying about the lack of discussion when you came! Come in and have a talk. " Hua Ruyu has always been very nice to people who have value in using her.
Pei Shi did not dare enter the room openly and lowered his voice even further, "Consort, this lowly one will speak here. If anyone discovers you in the room, it will be troublesome."
Hua Ruyu did not try to persuade him, and directly said, "You might not know, but His Highness Duke Cheng has been placed under house arrest by Feng Wei's father and daughter. Feng Ning Yan's next step is probably to deal with me, so we need to immediately plan to rescue His Highness!"
While he was recuperating in the Heng Yue Sect, he did not come out of the cellar every day. As a martial artist, he was naturally able to move freely and also heard a lot of information.
He lowered his voice and said, "This subordinate knows. In addition, he received a report that Shen Lingjue suddenly appeared after Feng Ning Yan attacked the South Yong Pass. However, for some reason, he let the Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness go in front of the array. Furthermore, Feng Wei had placed the Duke under house arrest without permission. The crime of colluding with the nation and exterminating its enemies has already been proven. Now, there is no need to worry about not exterminating them! "
When Hua Ruyu heard that Feng Ningyan had let the Southern Crown Prince go, she could not help but be ecstatic in her heart. She thought to herself: The heavens are on my side!
She narrowed her eyes and said with a sinister smile: "Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue actually dared to collude with the enemy and sell out our country?! We will immediately go and play the music for the emperor, and see how Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue can turn things around! "
Pei Shi nodded his head and said slowly: "It's just that there has been no news about the military intelligence report that was sent to the capital. This lowly one suspects that it has been intercepted halfway by Feng Wei and the rest. The only thing we can do now is to work as an imperial concubine, imitate Prince Cheng's notes, and write a military letter.
Since Hua Ruyu was Chen Youhuang's concubine, she was naturally extremely familiar with his handwriting. Besides, she had been working on it ever since she was a child, so her ability to imitate it was also very strong.
She quickly stood up, walked to the table, spread out the paper and brush, and allowed Pei Shi to dictate the contents to her.
After writing, blow dry the ink and take a closer look, it was quite similar to Shen You Huang's usual handwriting.
Pei Shi kept the paper and put it into his sleeve, while Hua Ruyu anxiously asked: "When can we save Prince Cheng?"
Without Shen Youhuang, she felt as if she had lost her backbone. She was always afraid that Feng Ning Yan would make a move against her in the next moment.
Pei Shi thought for a moment before replying, "This lowly one does have a few ideas, but I need to discuss them in detail with the imperial concubine …"
Hua Ruyu quickly pressed herself against the window edge, her ears perked up listening to Pei Shi's words, her face revealing a hint of happiness.
The whole area was quiet, except for the cold wind blowing against the grass on the hillside, as if it was brewing a coming storm.
At this moment, Shen Ling Jue was sitting together with Feng Ning Yan in the carriage, returning back to the Dragon's Fang along the same route.
Originally, Shen Ling Jue wanted to ride a horse, but when Feng Ning Yan found out about his internal injury, she insisted that he sit in the carriage and rest well.
For the past few days, Shen Lingjue had been working hard for her. He had just engaged in an intense battle with Duan Liushao, and from beginning to end, his injuries had yet to heal. This caused Feng Ning Yan to be extremely worried.
Feeling the wind blowing outside, Feng Ning Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the gloomy sky. She could not help but say, "The weather has turned gloomy. I'm afraid it will rain soon."
She promised to stay out of battle for three days before returning to Dragon Fang to see Feng Wei together with Shen Ling Jue and Li Yao.
Currently, the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army were camping outside of the Southern Yong Pass. If it rained, it would be extremely inconvenient. What if the enemy ambushed them …
"Don't worry, we'll be able to reach Dragon Fang before nightfall."
Shen Ling Jue held her hand and comforted her. Seeing that Feng Ning Yan was still frowning, he knew that she was once again worrying about the frontlines, so he interrupted her, "People say that it's better to not see things through than to get married. Why is it that the wangfei prefers to see the scenery instead? After so many days of not meeting each other, you're not thinking about This King? "
Feng Ning Yan was afraid that the soldiers accompanying her would hear her, so she hurriedly put down the curtain. With slightly red cheeks, she scolded, "It's obvious that you're hiding in the dark and refusing to show your face. Why should I miss you?"
Shen Ling Jue laughed, as he stretched out his arm to embrace Feng Ning Yan, "My wife really has no conscience."
His warm breath was right next to her ear, causing her face to flush red. She lightly snorted and leaned against him. "You don't even know the pain in my heart, so of course you can say that …"
Shen Ling Jue's heart ached slightly as he held her even tighter. He gently stroked her shoulders and thought to himself, Back then she was strong, and after separating for a few days, she had suffered through the pain of love.
His heart stirred, but he suddenly thought of something he had been brooding over for the past few days. "At that time, Duan LiuShao carried you away and kept you up for the night. When you woke up, did you feel touched?"
Feng Ning Yan blinked. Hearing him ask this question, she became angry and escaped from his embrace, saying with dissatisfaction:
"At that time, I clearly thought that the person who carried me out of the prison was you, but who told you to abandon me and leave. After I woke up, I was in the Southern Wilderness' military tent.
"Because of this slight deviation, I wasn't able to kill him and only knocked him out. "Tell me, if you hadn't left then, why would I owe him my life? Why would I let him go today?" Isn't it all your fault? "
Finished speaking, Feng Ning Yan glared fiercely at Shen Ling Jue.
Shen Ling Jue couldn't help laughing as he looked at her cute and confident appearance. The meaning behind those words, was she really moved?
He was extremely jealous, but he could only sigh. He reached out his hand to scratch the tip of her nose and said, "You are forcing your words and trying to reason with me. How do you look like the young marshal of the Southern Ning Army who changed his facial expression?"
Feng Ning Yan gave a "pfft" laugh and looked at him with disdain, "With you around, I'll just be lazy, and continue to pester you. Why not be a lazy little girl? "Xu mama said that the prince could prop up the heavens and support the earth for me. This is my fortune …"
Shen Ling Jue laughed involuntarily. He looked at Feng Ning Yan, his eyes filled with a suffocating gentleness.
He stared at Feng Ning Yan until she blushed and lowered her head, but she felt sweet in her heart.
The many days of sadness had finally been swept away. However, there was one thing that she had to do immediately.
She opened her hand to him. "And the book?"
"The words are already blurred, you still want to look? Aren't you able to recite the words written on it backwards? "
Shen Ling Jue teased, before taking out the blurry letter and letter of departure from his sleeve.
Feng Ning Yan rolled her eyes at him. She snatched the paper away, took out a paper roll, and lit up the book. Then, she handed it out of the window.
With a "chi" sound, a slender flame suddenly sprung up on the cloth.
The two of them leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking out the window at the burnt books and the letter of departure.
Flames flew in the air like butterflies dancing in the wild chrysanthemums that filled the mountains outside the Heng Wu Valley on that afternoon …
