"Why is there a deathly aura about the Great Xia Emperor?"
Ning Jie was slightly surprised, but he managed to hide it well.
The Emperor of Daxia looked Ning Jie straight in the eye and said kindly:
"Actually, it's nothing important. I just often hear Wanqing mention her senior brother. Since I have the chance today, I want to meet him."
"After all, this girl is almost praising you to the sky, hahahaha..."
The Emperor of Daxia smiled with a rosy face, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes when he looked at Xia Wanqing.
Xia Wanqing's face turned slightly red, and then returned to normal. After all, what she said was the truth!
After putting away his Eye of Insight, Ning Jie did not show any abnormality on the surface.
"Haha, Junior Sister, you're too kind. I don't deserve it."
"By the way, Your Majesty, have you been feeling unwell recently? After all, although a war is imminent, Your Majesty cannot overwork, lest you become ill from overwork."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Daxia smiled cheerfully.
"Haha, there's no need to worry, Ning Shengzi. Although I've had a lot going on lately, I'm a cultivator after all, so this little bit of fatigue is nothing!"
Ning Jie saw that he didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that he really didn't have any problems?
If this is true, excluding his own problems, it means... someone is playing tricks!
Thinking of this, Ning Jie decided not to tell the other party about this matter for the time being, so as not to cause any commotion and alert the enemy.
So after exchanging a few pleasantries, he calmly greeted the emperor and left the imperial garden with Xia Wanqing.
On the way, Ning Jie thought about it and decided not to tell Xia Wanqing about this matter for the time being, so as not to worry her.
"Junior Sister, has the palace always been so quiet? Or has something happened recently?"
"Ah? That's pretty normal in the palace."
After Xia Wanqing finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and added.
"Brother, if you want to talk about Leng Qing, it is indeed related to one thing."
"Recently, many maids in the palace have disappeared. Everyone thinks they left secretly because they were afraid of the impending war."
"But he didn't pack his luggage or collect his salary. He felt like he left in a hurry."
After Xia Wanqing finished speaking, Ning Jie felt that this matter was very strange.
First of all, in this chaotic world, the palace can be said to be the safest place. Who would run away?
Secondly, even if he wanted to escape, he didn't even bring any money or luggage. Would he have to sleep in the open?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. This matter cannot be that simple.
Although Ning Jie had already made up his mind, he did not show it.
"Oh, they must have panicked after hearing the news of the war. Maybe someone will come back in a few days."
Ning Jie was afraid that Xia Wanqing would notice something strange, so he comforted her a few times and then changed the subject.
After he returned to his residence, he called Chu Xi and the Shaxin monk together.
After listening to Ning Jie's explanation of the whole story, Chu Xi and Sha Xin also realized that something was wrong.
"Now I can almost conclude that there is definitely someone behind this."
"But now we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so I want to discuss it with you two and see if you can come up with any good solutions."
Ning Jie finished speaking and looked at the two of them.
When Chu Xi saw Ning Jie looking at her, she instantly forgot why she came here. The two looked at each other for three seconds, and Chu Xi unconsciously leaned into Ning Jie's arms.
Ning Jie felt somewhat helpless, and gently helped Chu Xi up, smiling bitterly:
"Xixi, we are discussing countermeasures!"
Chu Xi was obviously dissatisfied, staring at Ning Jie with resentment.
"Brother, we can discuss this even if you're holding me!"
Ning Jie had a few more black lines on his forehead. He didn't respond and turned to look at Sha Xin.
Although I don't have much hope for this bald donkey, but what if?
Seeing Ning Jie looking at him, Sha Xin spread his hands and said casually:
"Amitabha, I am just a monk and do not participate in worldly disputes. I will listen to Ning Shengzi."
"Damn! Can you be more reliable!"
Ning Jie was about to vomit blood. He felt that he must have gone crazy for actually thinking of looking for them two to discuss countermeasures!
The Shaxin monk smiled calmly, then suddenly looked at Ning Jie as if he remembered something.
"But as for countermeasures, I do have an idea."
Hearing this, Ning Jie looked at him again, thinking that if this bald donkey tried to make fun of him again, he might as well give him a Dinghai Shenzhen to teach him a lesson!
He looked at Chu Xi with murderous eyes.
"I think we can use their tricks against him! No matter what his purpose is, as long as he still needs to capture the palace maids, we can take advantage of this."
"We just need to have Miss Chu Xi pretend to be a palace maid to attract the other party's attack, and then we can seize the opportunity to capture her."
After listening to this, Ning Jie gave him a thumbs up and said, "You know what, this bald donkey actually has some brains!"
"It's a good idea to use the opponent's trick against them, but there are still some loopholes in the plan."
"What loophole?"
Sha Xin looked at him doubtfully, Ning Jie stood up and walked over to Chu Xi, looking him up and down.
"Take a good look at this face. It's naturally beautiful, stunningly beautiful, stunning to the point of captivating the whole nation. It's stunningly beautiful, stunning even the moon and flowers! Does it look like a palace maid? Will he be fooled?"
Sha Xin looked at Chu Xi, thoughtfully.
"What if it were an ordinary palace maid? If she were captured by the enemy, and something unexpected happened along the way, wouldn't that put her in harm's way?"
As soon as Sha Xin finished speaking, he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Ning Jie's gaze.
Looking up, he saw Ning Jie staring at him with a smile on his face. For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Amitabha, why are you staring at me like that, Ning Shengzi?"
"Hehe, to be honest, I think you still have your charm, Shaxin~"
Ning Jie spoke as he approached Sha Xin.
Sha Xin instantly felt the urge to run away, but faced with this situation, he did not dare to expose his back to Ning Jie.
"Amitabha, emptiness is form, form is emptiness. Please, Holy Son Ning, hold fast to your mind and do not be deceived by the demons in your heart. This poor monk..."
Before he could finish his murderous words, Ning Jie covered his mouth.
Do not look at or listen to anything indecent that happens next.
After a while, the Shaxin monk collapsed to the ground in dishevel.
Ning Jie and Chu Xi smiled at each other, finally the mission was accomplished.
Looking at the transformed Killing Heart in front of them, both of them showed a very relieved look on their faces.
At this time, Sha Xin had long pink hair tied up in a bun, and she was wearing rouge and powder, with willow eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and she looked like a woman.
Even Ning Jie couldn't help but sigh.
"Damn, bald donkey, I didn't expect you to be so pretty!"
"With your qualifications, if you put on the palace maid uniform, you must be at least a team leader, hahahaha..."
"It's just that the muscles on my arms feel a little out of place!"
Hearing Ning Jie's teasing, the murderous intent that had already lost all desire in him finally showed some reaction.
"Amitabha... May the Buddha save you..."
