Chapter 775 Kidnapping Xiao Yanxi
Xiao Pingshan looked a little awkward. Would his daughter be able to come back after she left with Ning Chen?
But this seemed to be the only way.
Either give the record book to Ning Chen, or let his daughter go with Ning Chen, so that the intelligence network would still be in the hands of Taichu Pavilion.
Ning Chen seemed to see Xiao Pingshan's concerns, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, don't worry. When I conquer all the countries, I will return the daughter and the intelligence network together."
Xiao Pingshan looked at his daughter.
Xiao Yanxi was very reluctant, but if she didn't go with Ning Chen, then the record book would have to be given to Ning Chen, which was equivalent to handing over the intelligence network that Taichu Pavilion had spent a hundred years to build.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanxi decided to go with Ning Chen.
"Thanks to the prince's kindness, I am willing to follow the prince!"
Ning Chen laughed, "Great! With the intelligence network of Taichu Pavilion, I will be able to pacify all countries, make the world peaceful, and let the people live and work in peace!
I thank Pavilion Master Xiao and Master Le on behalf of the people of Daxuan."
Xiao Pingshan and Xiao Yanxi hurriedly returned the greeting. They always felt that something was wrong? But they couldn't tell.
Ning Chen looked at Xiao Yanxi, "Master Le, please get ready. I have something important to do and can't stay in Taichu Pavilion for too long!"
Xiao Yanxi nodded slightly, "Okay!"
.......
In the evening, Ning Chen led his army to leave Taichu Pavilion.
Xiao Pingshan watched the army go away, frowning and looking worried.
Ning Chen was very good, and he was worried that his daughter would never come back.
The key is that Ning Chen came and went in a hurry, and he didn't have time to tell his daughter a few words.
On the way, Ning Chen turned his head and looked at Xiao Yanxi, "Mr. Le, tell me about Kang Luo."
Xiao Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "Kang Luo's current situation is not good. He is trapped in the Nanyue Imperial City and cannot leave. The Nanyue Crown Prince is very afraid of him and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
Ning Chen's mouth curled up slightly. This is good news for him.
Kang Luo is trapped in the Nanyue Imperial City, so he can focus on treating His Majesty.
Ning Chen asked, "Who does Kang Luo usually contact?"
Xiao Yanxi said, "Kang Luo usually stays in his own house, and occasionally goes to the princess's house... But every time he goes, the princess avoids him."
"The princess you are talking about is the most beautiful woman in Nanyue?"
Xiao Yanxi nodded, "Yes!"
Ning Chen laughed, "The uncle of the most beautiful woman in Nanyue died in Gaoli Kingdom, and died under Kang Luo's nose... It will be difficult for Kang Luo to get the beauty home."
Xiao Yanxi glanced at Ning Chen, thinking that you don't know how the Nanyue national teacher died, right?
But suddenly, Ning Chen's expression became serious, "Let your people spread the news that Kang Luo wants to seek the position of crown prince, and will take action soon."
Xiao Yanxi was shocked, he had not received the news that Kang Luo wanted to seek the position of crown prince.
Ning Chen said lightly, "Kang Luo is not a person who sits and waits for death. He will definitely fight back... It seems calm on the surface, and I guess he is secretly planning."
Of course, all this is his guess, and it doesn't matter whether he guessed right or not.
If I guessed wrong, I would make things difficult for Kang Luo.
If I guessed right, I would just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between Kang Luo and the Prince of Nanyue.
Xiao Yanxi nodded slightly, "Yes!"
Returning to Fanzhou City, the army returned to the camp.
Ning Chen and others found an inn in the city, planning to rest for a night and set off early tomorrow morning.
After dinner, Ning Chen called Pan Yucheng to the room.
"Old Pan, you secretly keep an eye on Mr. Le."
Pan Yucheng looked at him puzzled.
Ning Chen said: "See how she contacts the spies of Taichu Pavilion and how to collect intelligence?"
Pan Yucheng immediately understood and nodded, "Okay!"
......
The next day, early in the morning, Ning Chen and others had breakfast and rushed to Xiuzhou.
On the way, Ning Chen looked at Xiao Yanxi, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said, "Mr. Le, after leaving Taichu Pavilion, you can return to your female body... This is good for you. If you return to your female body, no one will know that you are Mr. Le of Taichu Pavilion."
Xiao Yanxi stared at Ning Chen vigilantly, "No need, the spies of Taichu Pavilion only recognize Mr. Le, not Xiao Yanxi."
Ning Chen said, a little disappointed.
He really wanted to see Xiao Yanxi's true face, but judging from her facial features, Xiao Yanxi was quite beautiful.
It takes about ten days to get from Fanzhou to Xiuzhou.
Ten days later, Ning Chen arrived in Xiuzhou.
Xiuzhou is his base camp.
After Prince Duan died, he accepted all of Prince Duan's business in Xiuzhou.
But he didn't care about these things now, so he rode his horse directly to Taohua Mountain.
It took another day on the road.
In the early morning, Ning Chen and others arrived at Taohua Mountain.
Now is the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom.
The whole mountain is full of peach blossoms, which is beautiful.
Several people walked along the valley.
On the way, Ning Chen and his companions suddenly stopped.
Because there were many corpses hanging on the tree in front, more than 20 of them.
These corpses must have been hanging here for a long time, and they have all turned into mummies, but they are swaying in the wind, which looks scary.
Ning Chen's eyes fell on a stone next to him, on which there were eight bloody characters... The entrance to the underworld, there is no return.
Ning Chen looked at Xiao Yanxi, "Is this the masterpiece of Senior Liu Baiyi?"
Xiao Yanxi nodded and said, "No one usually comes here, but when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, there are always literati and scholars coming to disturb... These are to scare those people."
Ning Chen chuckled, which means that they have found the right place and it was not a wasted trip.
Just a dozen mummies, naturally they couldn't scare Ning Chen and others.
Ning Chen said, "Let's go!"
"Wait!" Xiao Yanxi looked at Ning Chen and pointed at the bloody words on the stone, "Senior Liu has a bad temper. I'm afraid these eight words are not just to scare those literati. If you rush in and disturb Senior Liu, you might be in danger."
Ning Chen frowned slightly, "I must see Senior Liu Baiyi, even if it's dangerous."
After saying that, Ning Chen pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and strode inside.
Pan Yucheng and others followed without hesitation.
Xiao Yanxi hesitated for a while, but still gritted her teeth and followed.
After walking for about an incense stick of time, Feng Qizheng suddenly pointed to the southern hillside and said, "Is that a person?"
Ning Chen and others turned their heads to look.
The hillside was full of peach trees, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
Looking along the gaps between the peach trees, it seemed that there was a person leaning against a peach tree.
Ning Chen looked at Xiao Yanxi and asked, "Is that Senior Liu Baiyi?"
Xiao Yanxi stared at him for a while, "It's too far to see clearly... But there should be no one else here except Senior Liu."
Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look!"
Pan Yucheng stopped Ning Chen, "I'll go!"
Hearing that Liu Baiyi had a strange personality and a bad temper, he was worried that Ning Chen was in danger.
Ning Chen thought for a while and nodded, "Be careful!"
Pan Yucheng hummed and walked towards the hillside.
Ning Chen turned around and asked Ning Anjun behind him for a musket, took it in his hand, followed Pan Yucheng, and slowly approached the hillside.
