"Aren't there troops from the Three Kingdoms on their way over?"
Wang Xi responded hurriedly: "Yes, Anhuai, Western Chu and Dongling have all sent people here. Your Majesty is good at making plans."
Cheng Ning used her identity as the lord of Youshui City to attract the troops of the Three Kingdoms, and even came to Langzhong in person. It seemed that it was all for the sake of hostages, but those who know her should know that it was definitely not the case.
The hostage only aroused her desire to completely move Langzhong, and she should have already made the decision.
As early as when the late emperor was still on the throne, Cheng Ning accidentally chatted with Wei Yanzhou and mentioned the hidden dangers in Langzhong.
In a city that is neglected and bandits collude, everyone who comes in will become envied mutton.
It happens to be located at a hub, so there is no way to avoid it.
It happened to happen to her at this time, and it happened that she had the strength now, so she would definitely fight them hard.
"And Da Lan, His Highness Nan Entropy's people are already here. The whole Langzhong is waiting for the banquet to begin."
Mentioning Nan Entropy, Wei Yanzhou frowned very obviously.
Wang Xi knew what he was thinking. Wei Yanzhou was particularly unhappy with Nan Entropy back then, but now he is still following Cheng Ning all the way.
Wei Yanzhou didn't dare to do anything other than throw a small stone at night.
Afraid of making Cheng Ning angry.
But sooner or later I plan to kill Nan Entropy.
Wang Xi was speechless and did not dare to say anything more, so he whistled in the air.
A soaring eagle immediately swooped down and landed on Wang Xi's shoulder. It was the original Huahua.
Huahua has grown up completely. When Cheng Ning was sent out of the palace, Huahua became a lone eagle in the palace.
It returned to Linhua Palace and found that the building was deserted, with no one there.
Later, I didn't know how I flew to Chengqian Palace, so I stayed stuck to Wei Yanzhou.
Now, it is a hawk worthy of heavy responsibilities.
It’s just that I still don’t like Wei Yanzhou that much.
At first, I had no choice but to be with Wei Yanzhou, but now I am closer to Wang Xi than to him.
Every time she looked at Wei Yanzhou, Huahua stared at him eagerly, trying to get him to give Cheng Ning back.
Cheng Ning's eagle will only belong to her for the rest of her life.
Wang Xi tied a note to Huahua and asked him to find their own people.
The flowers soared into the sky and quickly disappeared over the garden.
Wang Xi was still worried: "Master, I'm afraid that my wife will be fine tomorrow, but the mouse will definitely not let you go."
Even if they had foreign aid, Wei Yanzhou might not be able to last long with his current body.
Just afraid of something unexpected happening.
But Wei Yanzhou obviously didn't care: "Do you think she will come to save me?"
He was indifferent to the news of his death, so what if he was in danger?
Will Cheng Ning refuse to save him?
Wang Xi: "..."
He should have thought that the master had such an idea!
A bitter plot?
"Huh?" Wei Yanzhou frowned dissatisfied with his attitude just now.
Wang Xi could only say: "Master, you shouldn't joke with your body."
He didn't dare to say anything else because he saw Cheng Ning's attitude clearly.
Everything in Youshui City was originally arranged by Wei Yanzhou, and he left all the possessions and influence he had accumulated over the years to Cheng Ning.
Even the servants in the mansion are actually loyal to Wei Yanzhou in the end.
Even if it is not 100% accurate, Wei Yanzhou is aware of the situation in the city lord's mansion.
Of course Wang Xi also knew.
Cheng Ning never asked anything about Wei Yanzhou, and he didn't even allow his servants to report it.
Even after knowing the news that Wei Yanzhou was seriously ill and died, her expression did not even change.
It's like this is just an unrelated person.
Wei Yanzhou's face looked ugly in those days, but no matter how discouraged he was, he no longer had the courage to treat Cheng Ning.
Wang Xi saw this and was worried for his master, but he had followed him all the way, and Cheng Ning was more innocent.
So he couldn't persuade him or speak anything.
"She's not that cruel," Wei Yanzhou insisted, "She even wanted to save the hostages."
So I definitely won't leave him alone.
Wang Xi wanted to ask, what would you do if the empress really refused to save her.
But he didn't dare ask.
He felt that Wei Yanzhou had been driven a little crazy by Nan Entropy in the past two days.
Appearing in front of Cheng Ning was all about timing. He wanted to save the hostage for Cheng Ning, so if he was in danger, Cheng Ning would definitely not care whether he lived or died.
Forget it, that's it.
Wang Xi thought expressionlessly.
They have enough manpower, and there will be troops from the other four countries tomorrow, so there is almost no suspense in a fight.
It just depends on how far Cheng Ning wants to spread this trend.
Who will end up with those hundred stones of grain and coal?
"Ensuring Cheng Ning's safety is the first priority. She must have noticed that our people are around her. Her lack of movement indicates that she is not too resistant."
This is true.
When Cheng Ning came out this time, she was accompanied by a shadow guard that Yanzhou had trained in the palace.
Don't show up unless necessary. Once you show up, you will be killed without mercy.
Bao Chengning's life will definitely not be a problem.
And he was waiting here for Cheng Ning to come.
*
Early the next morning.
Cheng Ning was the first to arrive near the county governor's mansion.
We met in an abandoned teahouse.
This place must have been built more than 20 years ago. The objects are very old, and it has been used as a stronghold by various religions and schools. It is dilapidated and leaky.
Once upon a time, Langzhong was a large city with the characteristics of hell. It was extremely prosperous with people coming and going.
Unlike today, only yellow sand and cobwebs are left.
Su Yi followed Cheng Ning closely, and the outside of the teahouse was already guarded by Mo Zi's men.
There were layers upon layers of little bandits, all aiming at the Lord of Youshui City.
From time to time, there were also discussions.
"Is this the city lord? She is really a woman..."
"She has always been cunning. With her status, will she send a substitute?"
"It doesn't look like it. With such momentum and appearance, it's hard to find a substitute."
"No wonder that man spent 100,000 gold to buy her with my eldest brother!"
Cheng Ning had a short knife on his side. Hearing this, he turned around and smiled: "Who wants to spend 100,000 gold to buy me?"
The little bandit was dazzled by her smile and thought that the city lord looked so pretty when he smiled!
"No, no one!" Someone got brave enough and shouted loudly: "Where is your goods?"
Cheng Ning stood under the eaves. The dilapidated teahouse could not cover her cool look in red. She raised her chin not far away and said, "Here."
There are indeed dozens of pallet trucks on the yellow sand road, slowly transporting heavy goods.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A burst of laughter came quickly along with the sound of horse hooves.
The group of little bandits ran forward in a hurry: "Brother!"
The mouse turned over and dismounted, his eyes never leaving Cheng Ning in red.
She stood on the yellow sand, like a goddess descending from the desert. Her beautiful face was eye-catching even though she had no expression.
Does that liar named Wei have any misunderstandings about immortals?
When he got closer, Mouse had already put away his smile, but his eyes were still fixed on Cheng Ning.
So familiar.
This face... He had seen it once and then dreamed about it countless times.
But they all looked like they were wearing armor, not like they were wearing light clothes now.
Cheng Ning raised his eyebrows: "Rat?"
"That's your nickname," Mouse quickly wiped his hand on his side, his eyes like a wolf: "My nickname is Cheng Jing."
Cheng...what?
The little bandits around him all opened their mouths in surprise. When did their big brother become famous? ? ?
Isn't Mouse just like his famous name in the world?
But at this moment, Mouse had no one else in his eyes. He approached Cheng Ning and asked, "Miss City Lord, do you recognize Cheng Ning?"
Hearing her name unexpectedly, Cheng Ning immediately realized that this person might have seen her before.
She asked: "What's wrong with Cheng Ning?"
The mouse licked his lower lip and his eyes became greedy, like a poisonous snake: "I want to fuck her."
