Ning Guogong Ning Yuan almost spit it out.
It's bitter and astringent, as bitter as Coptis chinensis, and it's so astringent that it makes your tongue numb.
Is this called tea? Just dry, rough leaves.
"Drink more, Mr. Guo, this is the best tea here. I can't bear to drink it. It has been stored for many years." Ning Feng said attentively and smiled at the side.
"Stored for many years?" Duke Ning Yuan exclaimed.
"Yes, it is definitely a collector's edition." Ning Feng said with a smile.
At this moment, Duke Ning Yuan wanted to punch Ning Feng in the face and dent his smiling face to see if he could still fake a smile.
Can this tea be stored for many years like wine? It has become moldy a long time ago. Even if it is stored well, the original taste of the tea has long been lost. No wonder it is bitter and astringent.
Who would believe that this was not intentional?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he does not believe it anyway.
Ning Guogong Ning Yuan finally saw clearly that Ning Feng wanted to disgust him and delay time. As for the purpose of delaying time...need to say more? Most likely they have to wait for Yang Ruoqing to show up.
"Commander Ning, you've drank this tea, so why don't you hurry up and finish what your Majesty told you?"
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan's tone became tougher. He was unwilling to drag it out any longer. He had to find a way to get the matter done before Yang Ruoqing came.
Otherwise, what will happen when she appears? He couldn't imagine it.
Ning Guogong Ning Yuan suddenly felt anxious. He could no longer wait patiently and refused to even sit down.
"My lord, please don't be impatient. Of course I don't dare to delay your majesty's affairs. I will send someone to see what's going on right away. My lord, please wait a moment." Ning Feng's expression changed to another one. width.
When Ning Feng said this, Duke Ning Yuan had no choice but to sit down again.
This time he saw Ning Feng calling someone in and asking that person to go out to check the situation, which gave him no reason to be impatient.
Everything has a process, and Ning Feng followed everything according to procedure, so there was nothing he could do.
…
Yang Ruoqing did not ride in a carriage, but rode a bay-red horse, galloping to the hidden guard station.
Because time was urgent, the carriage was still slow. It couldn't be faster than riding a horse.
I kept seeing the gate of the Hidden Guard from a distance, with the "upright and bright" wooden plaque hanging on it.
Yang Ruoqing smiled with satisfaction. Everyone said that it was Ning Feng who hung it. In fact, only a few people knew that it was not Ning Feng who hung the wooden plaque. It should really be Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing had interacted with the Yinwei group many times and was actually very familiar with them.
The bay-red horse came to the gate, and Yang Ruoqing pulled the reins in her hand to stop the bay-red horse.
The bay-red horse stepped on its hooves, exhaled from its nostrils, and swung its tail. It was in a bad mood, and it just ran away. It wanted to run for a while, but was stopped.
However, Yang Ruoqing stretched out her palm and stroked the horse's back a few times, which stabilized the maroon horse's mood.
Yang Ruoqing turned over and dismounted, looking at the soldiers standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"Madam, you're here." Chen Sangou's originally meticulous face showed an expression of surprise.
"Sangouzi, continue."
Yang Ruoqing took out a big peach from her pocket and threw it to Chen Sangou.
Chen Sangou caught it. The big peach was bright red, and the fuzz on the surface of the skin had been washed clean. It was one of the fruits Yang Ruoqing carried with her to eat.
"Madam is so kind. She brought me another big peach to eat. These big peaches grow on the mountains in my hometown. They are different from those elsewhere."
With a pleased look on Chen Sangou's face, he leaned the spear directly against the wall, held the big peach in both hands, and took a big bite.
"Sangouzi, was there an old man wearing silk and fine clothes here earlier?" Yang Ruoqing stepped forward and said with a smile.
Chen Sangou's hometown is at the foot of Wofo Mountain, which is relatively close to the capital, otherwise he wouldn't have been taken into the hidden guard.
Only people with a clean financial background can enter the Hidden Guard after passing the review. Not everyone can enter the Hidden Guard. After all, this is an authoritative institution directly under the emperor, and no one can enter casually.
"There is a madam. That old man is very rude. His name is Mr. Ning Guogong. He is very old and talks garbled words. He also laughed at me for being uneducated and unable to understand seals."
Chen Sangou became angry when he mentioned the old man. In his eyes, the old man was not a good person. If he didn't have His Majesty's warrant in his hand, he would have wanted to hit someone.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. If he really wanted to hit an older man, he would still be embarrassed, so he probably wouldn't actually do it.
"From now on, all strangers will have to look at the tokens. If they don't have useful tokens, don't let them in." Yang Ruoqing added.
"Of course. Madam is right, that's what I think. I haven't read a book since I was a child, and I don't know a few Chinese characters. My brain is slow and I can't play with other people's minds. So I'll accept the truth and stand here. You must follow the rules when it comes to your position." Chen Sangou nodded and smiled.
"Sangou, I'm going in. This horse is tied here. Please show it to me and don't let anyone else take it away." Yang Ruoqing warned.
There was a carriage parked in the distance nearby, and the driver was napping on it. Since Chen Sangou said that the man who entered was an old man named Ning Guogong, it must be Ning Guogong Ning Yuan.
It was just that Chen Sangou was not familiar with official titles and titles, so he took the Duke as his name.
He is indeed heartless, but such a person is actually a very good person. He has no scheming and no tricks, which makes people feel very relaxed.
Yang Ruoqing stepped in and walked directly towards the reception hall.
After walking for a while, when I came to the entrance of the palace, I saw Ning Feng walking out of it, and they happened to meet each other.
Ning Feng immediately made a gesture and ran over quickly.
Yang Ruoqing's position was relatively remote. She landed silently, and the people inside didn't feel that anyone was coming at all.
"Madam, it's Duke Ning inside, what should I do?" Ning Feng showed a flattering smile.
The first person he wants to please is the emperor, and the second person is none other than Yang Ruoqing.
It was because of her that he was finally promoted and became the official leader. There were many reasons. It was the result of the arrest of the great monk at Yunshan Temple, which gave him the capital to be promoted, plus Yang Ruoqing's trust, Will suffice.
"Leave it to me. You go to the dungeon and take a look at Ning Shanwen's condition. It's best to clean him up and don't make it too obvious." Yang Ruoqing warned.
"Don't worry, Madam, that Ning Shanwen got through it all without any torture, and he is doing very well now." Ning Feng explained.
