1264 Competing, Longing for Each Other
When Emperor Nanling saw that the Ninth Prince did not give him face even after he issued an edict to appease him, he became angry and abandoned the Ninth Prince and his group in the small mountain village without paying any attention to them.
"Your Highness, it's clear that Emperor Nanling is trying to wear us out. Are we just going to keep wasting time here with them?" The staff could still bear it at first, but after waiting for seven or eight days and seeing that Nanling didn't send anyone, they knew that Emperor Nanling was deliberately embarrassing them.
"What's the hurry?" The Ninth Prince looked calm, not taking Nanling's actions to heart at all.
After arriving in Nanling, it was not so easy to go back. Anyway, the war between Dongling and Xiling had already been fought, and he could not do anything even if he returned to Dongling.
"Your Highness, we can't afford to waste time. If we go on like this, no one knows what will happen." The aide had a bitter face and thought to himself: Didn't Your Highness and Miss Feng have a conflict before? Why didn't Your Highness rush back to explain to Miss Feng?
The Ninth Prince ignored the staff's words and asked, "Where is the Black Knight now?"
"In three days, we will reach the border between Dongling and Nanling." The aide was excited when he mentioned the Black Cavalry.
How could he forget that they still had the Black Knights. With the Black Knights, their lives would never be in danger on this trip.
"Take my business card and go meet Nanling Jinxing. Ask him to find a way to bring the Black Cavalry into Nanling." The Ninth Prince closed his eyes and looked a little tired. It was obvious that he had not been idle during the seven or eight days he had been in this village.
Now that he has come to Nanling and has a reason to stay, he must of course find out the situation in Nanling. Nanling is different from Xiling. In Xiling, he not only has the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but also Xiling Tianyu and Mr. Yinli.
He only has some ordinary spies in Nanling. Some of his connections were given to Nanling Jinxing in the beginning, and they were all absorbed by Nanling Jinxing in recent years. Even if they had not been absorbed, they would not be able to be used.
Of course, the people that the Ninth Prince gave to Nanling Jinxing were just some officials he bribed in Nanling. Naturally, he would not give his trusted people to Nanling Jinxing.
The staff knew that the Ninth Prince had some plans, so they did not ask any more questions. They took the name card and went to do their work. They only prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the Ninth Prince would quickly resolve the matter of Nanling so that they could return to Dongling as soon as possible.
Staying in a foreign country, even with strong guards around you, you will still be worried. Life is really not good.
The staff wanted to return to the imperial city as soon as possible, and the Ninth Prince also wanted to return. He still hadn't figured out what those words Feng Qingchen had erased meant, and the spies he sent to find out the news hadn't returned either.
Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince became annoyed. He turned back to the study, spread out a large piece of paper, and casually drew a few strokes on it. Soon, a woman's figure appeared on the white paper. When the Ninth Prince drew a few more strokes, Feng Qingchen's temperament and figure came out.
There is no detailed description, just a few hasty strokes, and Feng Qingchen's appearance comes to life on the paper, which shows how profound Feng Qingchen is in the heart of the Ninth Prince.
After finishing the painting, the Ninth Prince did not stop writing, but wrote a poem next to it. After thinking for a while, he took out his private seal and stamped it on the painting.
The Ninth Prince stared at the painting for a long while before reluctantly putting it away.
At the same time, Feng Qingchen was sitting alone by the window, staring at the moonlight in a daze, her eyes vague and her expression lonely, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The secret guard watched silently without saying a word, but he was secretly anxious in his heart.
When will the letter from the Ninth Prince arrive?
At the Wang family, Wang Qi once again persuaded Wang Jinling: "Brother, are you still investigating the identity of that child?"
"There's some clue." Wang Jinling put down the pen in his hand and raised his head: "Why, Jinhan, you are also concerned about this?"
Wang Qi was extremely discouraged: "Who cares about the identity of that child? I care about you. Feng Qingchen is now dissatisfied with the Ninth Uncle. You should not stay at home and help her find the identity of that child. Instead, you should go to the Feng Mansion and stay by Feng Qingchen's side so as to seize the opportunity to win her heart."
"If I really want to do that, I still
Your eldest brother?" Wang Jinling laughed, stood up from the desk, walked to the window and looked into the distance: "Jinhan, I promised Feng Qingchen that we will only be friends in this life, so let's just be friends."
"But...Brother, you can fool others, but can you fool yourself?" Wang Qi's nose felt sore.
How many times has he seen his elder brother lonely and desolate? How many times has he seen his elder brother sad and depressed? If he could really let it go, he wouldn't resist the pressure and refuse marriage again and again.
"Jinhan, the Wang family is not suitable for her." Wang Jinling was trying to persuade Wang Qi, and also to persuade himself.
The Wang family is not suitable for her, and Wang Jinling is not suitable for her either.
"Brother, what are you worried about? Are you worried that the Wang family will not accept her? Do you still care about the position of the head of the Wang family? As long as you don't become the head of the Wang family, who dares to control you?" Wang Qi still didn't give up. Feng Qingchen was the first woman his brother wanted so much, how could he give up so easily.
After missing Feng Qingchen, his elder brother would never love anyone again in his life.
"But I am still a descendant of the Wang family." Wang Jinling closed his eyes, hiding the deep affection in his eyes, and changed the subject: "What is the situation in Nanling? Why has the Ninth Prince not returned yet?"
Wang Qi was helpless, but Wang Jinling was determined not to say anything more, so he could only keep the words in his heart and honestly report Nanling's affairs to Wang Jinling.
“No matter where he is, he is so arrogant. He threatened Prince Nanling at the gate of Nanling City. It is indeed the character of the Ninth Uncle. Since the Ninth Uncle is not in a hurry, we will just ignore it. We just ask them to be careful and speak for the Ninth Uncle when necessary and not let the Palace Master embarrass the Ninth Uncle.” The Ninth Uncle was going to sit in that position, and Wang Jinling didn’t want him to bear the bad reputation.
"I'll let them pay attention. I've also sent people to lead those scholars who came here because of my reputation to Dongling, so they won't cause any trouble for the Ninth Prince." Protecting a palace master is troublesome enough, but if he has to deal with a group of literati who can do nothing but talk, the Ninth Prince will probably be so angry that he'll kill someone.
Dealing with scholars and celebrities is a strenuous job, and even if the Ninth Prince is good at it, he is not willing to do it, because scholars with a little fame are all aloof and arrogant, looking down on everyone. The Ninth Prince may be able to watch the monkey show once or twice, but if it happens too many times, he will probably give people the cold shoulder.
Wang Jinling nodded: "You have done a great job on this matter. Leave the rest to others. You should prepare well. In a few days, the Valley Master and his men will go to Jiangnan. You will go with them then."
Leaving the capital and going to the south of the Yangtze River, even if you can't achieve anything, at least you can stay away from all the intrigues.
"I understand, big brother. You must take care of yourself." Wang Qi looked reluctant. He left... After his sister got married, the Wang family became cold and there was nothing left.
Wang Qi has an omnipotent brother who paved the way for him to go to Jiangnan. Yun Xiao is not so lucky. He can only fight for what he wants on his own, but things do not go smoothly.
The Yun family was not reluctant to part with Yun Xiao, but Yun Xiao handed over the Yun family's property. Less than a month later, the Yun family's business declined sharply, and those officials who were courteous to the Yun family also became estranged.
The Yun family is back to their previous situation. They are targeting Feng Qingchen again and want Yun Xiao to be their lobbyist...
