Chapter 330: Vow to Follow the Master Until Death
When it was getting dark, Chen Ning, Nu Jiao Long Yu, and White Tiger Hall Master Leng Feng and his group left the grain transport team and rushed to the nearest ferry.
Xie Lingyue handed the jade pendant that Concubine Xu gave to Xu Zhong to Chen Ning, and she and Pei Yuanzhou led the grain transport team to Pingdu City.
Prince Ding's army is now in Pingdu City.
Chen Ning took his men on a detour to Beihai Prefecture.
Xie Lingyue actually asked Shen Ning if she wanted to meet Xiao Nanchen... Shen Ning refused.
The reason she gave was that time was urgent and the Yuan army and the Japanese pirates might join forces with Xu Zhong to attack Xiao Nanchen from behind at any time. She had to find a way to retake Liaodong before that.
And the most important reason is that Shen Ning knows that she cannot stay with Xiao Nanchen.
She has been sleeping more and more these days, and feeling more and more sleepy. Even though she keeps increasing the dosage of the medicine, the effect is becoming less and less obvious.
If he stayed next to Xiao Nanchen, he would easily notice that something was wrong.
He couldn't be distracted at a time like this... Besides, she did have her own things to do.
Beihai Prefecture is her fiefdom, and all the people there are her subjects. Some people are following her orders to defend Beihai Prefecture to the death. She cannot abandon those people.
Now the Daxuan Dynasty is no longer able to allocate troops to Liaodong. If she does not try to cut off the Yuan army and Japanese pirates here, Xiao Nanchen will fall into a difficult situation of being attacked from all sides.
He was already struggling...she could do something.
In order to pass through the blockade set up by Xiao Nanrong, Shen Ning decided to bring Leng Feng, the leader of the White Tiger Hall.
Of course, she had another explanation for Leng Feng.
After listening to Shen Ning's words, Leng Feng was filled with doubt. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Who arranged all this? Let us go to Beihai Mansion to prepare for the meeting?"
Chen Ning nodded: "That's right! Hall Master, you now know the identity of that gentleman... This matter is of great importance and time is of the essence. We must complete his orders."
"But, wasn't Mr. Xu San arrested? He..."
Leng Feng always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't figure it out.
Shen Ning laughed and patted Leng Feng's shoulder vigorously: "Master, that was obviously a performance for the people in the dark. Think about it, if Mr. Xu San was really arrested, would I still be able to stand here?"
She whispered, "It was the Third Master who deliberately made me reveal his identity and pretend to be captured... Then he ordered us to act in secret and act as that unexpected surprise attack. Hall Master, the Third Master trusts us and values us!"
Leng Feng frowned: "Then why didn't he tell me directly?"
Chen Ning showed a helpless expression: "The Third Master said that the hall master has a straightforward character and is not good at pretending. In addition, the situation is urgent, so he asked me to assist. He also gave us a secret mission... He said that if we complete it, we will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future, hall master."
After saying that, Shen Ning took out the jade pendant that Xu Zhiyi had been wearing these days: "This is the token given by the Third Master."
The jade pendant is lustrous and shiny all over, and it is obviously an extraordinary item at first glance.
Leng Feng saw that Shen Ning was speaking seriously, and for a moment he became extremely cautious. He lowered his voice and asked, "What secret mission did the Third Master give us?"
Shen Ning took out an envelope: "The Third Master ordered us to send this letter to Liaodong and hand it over to Xu Zhong."
The letter was, of course, a forgery.
But after this barrage of punches, Leng Feng felt dizzy and was also convinced.
Xu Zhiyi and Xu Zhong are both members of the Xu family and are now in the same camp. If this kid said that Master Xu San asked them to do something else, he might still be suspicious, but if it was just to deliver a letter to Xu Zhong... then the credibility would be greatly increased.
Besides, this jade pendant is indeed Mr. Xu Sanye's personal belonging these days.
Chen Ning asked nervously in a low voice, "Third Master said that our journey to Liaodong would be full of difficulties, but the Hall Master is decisive and wise and brave, and he told us to obey the Hall Master. Hall Master, do you think we can complete this mission?"
Leng Feng glared at his younger brother, reached out and snatched the envelope, stuffed it into his arms, and patted it: "With your hall master here, is there any task that cannot be completed?"
Seeing the boy opposite him staring at the envelope with a reluctant expression after it was snatched away, his inner thoughts were clearly revealed. Leng Feng snorted and laughed: "Don't worry, leave the things with me. In the future, I will give you the high official position and generous salary, and I will give you the glory and wealth."
Shen Ning quickly bowed: "I swear to follow the hall master until death."
So, after parting ways with Xie Lingyue, Chen Ning, Nu Jiaolong and the others continued to follow Leng Feng, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, all the way to Liaodong.
As expected, the sea area leading to Liaodong was tightly sealed, and every checkpoint was guarded. In addition to the imperial guards, there were also people from the Tianxin Sect hiding in the dark, all of whom were from the Right Protector lineage.
People of Tianxin Sect know the methods of Tianxin Sect and can better discover the hidden subordinates of Zuo Hufa.
These people came specifically to search for the person Mu Yao left for Chen Ning...
When their ship was stopped and they saw the subordinates of the Right Protector, including some familiar people, Leng Feng showed up directly.
He felt that he was very shrewd and did not tell the Right Protectors that he had received a secret order from Mr. Xu Sanye. He just said that he was ordered to go to Liaodong for important matters.
Those people obviously knew Leng Feng, and they also knew that Leng Feng was assigned by the Right Protector to do other things, so they immediately relaxed their vigilance when they saw him.
After passing the checkpoint, Leng Feng snorted, "Those guys are getting more arrogant now. They don't take me, Leng, seriously. Knowing that I have a secret order, they still asked me to keep an eye on the people of the Left Protector along the way, saying that if there is any trace of the Left Protector's subordinates, there will be a reward."
He was very disdainful: "Who cares about their little tricks? Once we get our business done, there will be huge wealth waiting for us."
Chen Ning and Nu Jiaolong exchanged a glance, then flattered him left and right: "The hall master has a secret order, so of course those people can't compete with him. We just need to do our job well."
Leng Feng nodded: "That's right, but if we really encounter traces of those people of the Left Protector on the road, we can also make some merits by the way. Those people's heads are very valuable, we should not waste them, right?"
Shen Ning smiled: "What the hall master said is true."
Angry Dragon: ...
In fact, have you ever thought about this, the person you are looking for is right in front of you!
