"Everything depends on father's arrangement!" Qin Zheng said.
There was a look of satisfaction in Prince Ning's eyes, and he smiled and nodded: "How about you prepare first and set off tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Qin Zheng agreed and retreated.
Prince Ning was sitting in the room, the expression in his eyes kept changing, and his hand gently knocked on the table, making a rhythmic sound.
"As a young man, it's good to be enterprising. After all, he is the son of a widower!" Prince Ning chuckled. He liked Qin Zheng's performance today very much.
This is how people are, when they are happy, it is easier to open their minds. Prince Ning was thinking about the floating corpse case and already had some new ideas in his mind.
At this moment, Lin Bao came in to report, saying that Prime Minister Yu Bu had something urgent to report.
King Ning asked Lin Bao to bring Yu Buwei in. After saluting, the monarch and his ministers sat across from each other.
"You have always been steady, have you encountered something?" Prince Ning asked, and at this time, there was indeed a hint of worry in Yu Buwei's eyes.
Yu Buwei said: "Yesterday afternoon, someone found a body in the grass outside Xianyang City!"
"Another murder case?" King Ning asked.
Yu Buwei said: "This is not a simple murder case!"
"Why isn't it simple?" Prince Ning asked, with curiosity in his eyes.
Yu Buwei said: "The person who discovered this body was a servant of Weichen's family. Yesterday he went home on leave and met the body on the way home. When he found this person, he had been dead for a long time. , but there was a letter in his blood-stained hand. The servant was also curious, so he took the letter over and looked at it, only to see the words written on it were written by his mentor Yu Buwei! "
While speaking, Yu Buwei had already taken out the letter.
This was indeed a blood-stained letter. The moment Yu Buwei took it out, Prince Ning frowned slightly because the smell of blood was far stronger than he had imagined.
Obviously this letter has been completely soaked in blood.
Prince Ning took the letter over and read it. The general content was that there were a large number of monsters from Ming Mountain in Shannan County, and the government was unable to support them, so he asked the court to send troops for support.
Shannan County, the largest county on the border of Ning Kingdom, was named because it was located south of Ming Mountain.
Mingshan Mountain is one of the five famous places of death on the land of Kyushu, and monsters have always been there.
The governor of Shannan County, whose surname is Li Mingzhi, is Yu Buwei's favorite disciple. Although he is also from Shannan County, he was recommended by Yu Buwei to be the governor of Shannan County.
King Ning still had an impression in his mind that this man went to Shannan County two years ago. At that time, it was because there were monsters in Shannan County and they slaughtered the people wantonly. Yu Buwei then recommended Li Chi as the governor of Shannan County to govern Shannan County. of.
Less than half a year after Li Chi returned to Shannan County, the monster problem in Shannan County was completely resolved.
At that time, King Ning also praised Li Chi very well, and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the DPRK also praised Li Chi mostly.
This time Li Chi came back with a letter and needed the imperial court to send troops for assistance. He did not take the official route and wrote directly to the imperial court. The person who sent the letter died outside Xianyang City. What secrets were hidden in this?
Prince Ning frowned and inadvertently connected the floating corpse case with the blood letter.
"If there is any involvement... there is Yulong County between Shannan County and Guanxi County. If the floating corpse comes from Shannan County... no, it shouldn't be. It comes from Shannan County, even if it comes from Shannan County The water between Guanxi County and Xianyang is very fast, and it can’t be reached in half a month. There is a problem, a big problem!"
Prince Ning fell into deep thought again. What went wrong in Shannan County? What happened to Guanxi County and Yulong County?
Daning has a vast territory, but these three counties are all large counties, accounting for almost one-fifth of Ning's territory.
Once there are problems in these three counties, then there will really be big problems in Ningguo.
"Ai Qing, what do you think?" Prince Ning asked.
Yu Buwei thought for a moment and said: "Wei Chen feels that it is time to send someone over to take a look. The army must also be prepared!"
When Prince Ning heard this, his eyes flickered slightly and asked: "In your opinion, who is the most suitable candidate?"
"Why don't you let the eldest prince go?" Yu Buwei said.
Prince Ning's eyes flashed with surprise and he asked, "Why choose him?"
"Because His Royal Highness the Prince is capable!" Yu Buwei said.
When Prince Ning heard this, he was very happy and laughed: "The one Ai Qing really likes is probably Xie Yunxiao!"
When Yu Buwei heard the words, he smiled calmly: "Xie Yunxiao's ability is indeed good!"
"Only you and I know about this matter, do you understand?" Prince Ning suddenly said.
Yu Buwei glanced at Prince Ning and said, "The king agrees?"
"Why don't you agree? He is the son of a widower. Naturally, Daning's country must be protected by him!" Prince Ning said calmly.
Yu Buwei said: "Then let His Highness pass. As for the army, I'm afraid we have to make long-term plans!"
King Ning didn't say anything. Qin Zheng was going to investigate the case. He had originally planned to ask Meng Tian to protect Qin Zheng.
The Xuanjia Guards are definitely the most elite in the Ningguo army. Although their number is less than 30,000, once this army is fully deployed, it will definitely be terrifying.
Originally, King Ning only planned to let Meng Tian bring three thousand Xuanjia guards to protect Qin Zheng, but now he can take the opportunity to send ten thousand troops.
Ten thousand Xuanjia guards were dispatched, five hundred were in the open, and the rest were moving latent.
Previously, Qin Zheng was asked to investigate the case secretly, but now he can issue an imperial edict asking Qin Zheng to support Xue Ju and urge Xue Ju to handle the case. His real mission is in Shannan County.
However, this would definitely put Qin Zheng in danger, but fortunately with Xuanjia Wei, Meng Tian, and Xie Yunxiao, Prince Ning naturally did not have to worry too much.
Having made up his mind, Yu Buwei left.
Prince Ning originally wanted to tell Qin Zheng the real mission today, but thinking that he would come to the palace tomorrow, he did not call Qin Zheng for the time being.
Qin Zheng returned to the Humble Garden and told everything about the palace, feeling a little excited.
He looked at Xie Yunxiao and said, "Master, you don't seem surprised at all. It seems that you already knew that my father would agree!"
Xie Yunxiao smiled calmly and said: "The king is worried about your safety, but he also hopes that you will gain experience!"
"If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have been worried for a long time!" Qin Zheng said.
Xie Yunxiao chuckled: "The road ahead is not going to be easy, you have to be mentally prepared!"
Qin Zhengdao: "This is my choice, no matter what happens, I will not waver!"
Xie Yunxiao nodded. He naturally believed in Qin Zheng's determination.
"You go ahead and do your work first, I have to make some preparations!" Xie Yunxiao said.
When Qin Zheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, are you going to carve the formation and prepare the talisman seal?"
Xie Yunxiao secretly did not have enough cultivation, so he could only rely on these methods. Fortunately, King Ning promised to give Xie Yunxiao a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, otherwise he would not even have the materials to carve the formations and talismans this time.
"You want to learn?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I do!"
Xie Yunxiao said: "Your talent is not in this area, it doesn't matter, you were watching from the side when I was carving it. If you can understand a little bit, you may be trapped in the formation or talisman in the future, and it may be of some use! "
When Qin Zheng heard this, his face suddenly fell. He was very unconvinced and said, "Master, why do you think I have no talent?"
Xie Yunxiao chuckled: "I can't explain it clearly in just a few words. You can feel it for yourself later!"
After finishing his words, Xie Yunxiao began to bring up the prepared materials. He first drew the talisman.
The most important thing about this talisman is the power of divine consciousness, and Xie Yunxiao is naturally the best at this aspect.
It's just that although his power of spiritual consciousness is powerful, he still hasn't condensed his soul after all, so he is still deficient in some aspects.
Not long after, a talisman seal was drawn. Qin Zheng looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand anything. To him, this was just a more beautiful and complicated pattern.
Qin Zheng sighed helplessly. Xie Yunxiao said that he had no talent, but he still didn't believe it. Now he finally realized that Xie Yunxiao was really not joking.
"Do you feel something?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
Qin Zheng wanted to answer yes, but he really didn't feel anything.
"Master, do I really have no talent in seal script formation?" Qin Zheng asked, with a hint of hope in his eyes.
Xie Yunxiao smiled and said: "The way of talisman and seal formation requires a certain sensitivity to the laws of heaven and earth. This is not lacking. The most important thing is to be able to perceive these laws and turn the invisible laws into tangible ones. Among the patterns composed of these lines, the talisman pattern you see is actually the best way to store the laws of heaven and earth!"
Only then did Qin Zheng realize that this is what the so-called talisman and seal method is all about.
Even though Qin Zheng had no talent in talisman and seal script, Xie Yunxiao still patiently said something about the way of talisman and seal script.
Then, Xie Yunxiao began to carve the formation again.
"There are two types of formations. One is based on the treasures of heaven and earth and is arranged with the help of the power of heaven and earth. The other is a battle formation in the army. In comparison, the power of battle formations is It is much larger, but it is also much more difficult. The formation that relies on natural materials and earthly treasures has poor flexibility and cannot reach its maximum power, but it is the easiest to portray."
"And the army's battle formation requires unity, training day and night, and familiarity with all aspects!"
While speaking, Xie Yunxiao's hands did not stop, he was carving the formation.
Before the formation was activated, it looked like an inexplicable pattern composed of dense lines.
Qin Zheng was hit again. As for the formation, it seemed that he had no talent.
"Master, I'm going to rest first!" Qin Zheng said.
Xie Yunxiao nodded, and he would continue to describe. This trip to the west is really dangerous.
One night passed, and on the morning of the next day, before Chen hour, Qin Zheng came to the palace.
Prince Ning glanced at Qin Zheng and said gently: "Are you ready?"
"Replying to my father, I am always ready!" Qin Zheng's eyes were full of confidence.
Prince Ning laughed, then his expression became serious, and he said: "This trip to the west, my father has a big thing to entrust to you!"
These two simple sentences made Xie Yunxiao feel inexplicable pressure. But precisely because of the pressure, Qin Zhengcai had more expectations, so his eyes were particularly bright.
"Please give me your instructions, father!" Qin Zheng was also a little curious about what Prince Ning would arrange for him.
Prince Ning said: "It's like this. There is a letter from Li Chi, the governor of Shannan County. There are monsters in Shannan County and the court needs to send troops to support!"
