【4】Pretend to be pitiful
Ning Nanyou silently said nothing, leaning against the side with his eyebrows drooping, which made the girl feel distressed.
"Let me see, are there any place next to you injured?" Jiang Chengjia stood in front of him, stretched out his hand and wanted to lift his clothes.
Ning Nanyou held her slender wrist with one hand and said softly: "Don't look at other places."
He looked at her, staring at her with deep eyes, full of tenderness. Jiang Chengjia twisted his temper and insisted on seeing what was going on. The man lowered his eyelids and covered the trace of success in his eyes, so he pretended to be careless. He secretly untied the belt around his waist with his other hand, pulled along Jiang Chengjia, causing the clothes on his body to slide down.
Under the swaying candlelight, the handsome body of the Langjun was exposed. From a distance, the rock rock was as independent as a pine tree, but from close up, it was a little scary. His wide and narrow body was covered with scars, and the whipping of the ruler made him feel skin and flesh blooming, and his body was completely gone. Among these dense scars, there was a new sword wound, twisted and bright red.
Jiang Chengjia only glanced at her eyes and her eyes became slightly red and wet. She reached out to touch his wound, but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only quietly take it back. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she sat next to him silently and asked, "Does it hurt? Does it hurt?"
Ning Nanyou looked at her, and saw the tears at the corner of the girl's eyes. He stretched out his hand to wipe it off for her, and said gently, "It doesn't hurt. If it hurts, can I still force myself to Laiyun Cheng Pavilion?"
"Nonsense? How could it not hurt?" Jiang Chengjia stared at the sword wound between his chest and shoulder bone, and said a little unbearable: "When did this new wound on your chest...have you got it?"
Her tears rolled in her eyes, and she could no longer control her emotions when she spoke.
Ning Nanyou gently held her wrist and whispered: "The wound has healed."
"Is it... Did you write a letter to ask me about the Baiyun Mountain Sword Sect? Your wound was injured by the Baiyun Mountain swordsmen, right? Only they can do such penetrating scars..." Jiang Chengjia sobbed in a low voice, and the more he spoke, the more he couldn't help it, and tears fell down.
Seeing the girl's tears in her eyes, Ning Nanyou bent her lips slightly and whispered: "This injury is indeed caused by them, but I have a good rest on my way back to Beijing. Now there is no major problem. You don't have to be so sad."
"How can you not be sad? Although your sword injury has healed, it is inevitable that the injury caused by the ruler will affect it..."
Jiang Chengjia didn't dare to get too close to him, for fear that she would accidentally touch his wound. She got up and went to look for the golden sore medicine, raw silk, iron sword and other objects placed in the house. She sat on her couch and applied medicine to the Langjun's wound: "This Lu Xun is really... You were whipped so seriously, why didn't he apply medicine to you afterwards?"
Ning Nanyou pondered silently, clenched his fists and endured the pain of the ointment sucking into the wound, but the starlight in his eyes was shining. At this moment, Lu Xun, who was guarding outside the Qi Pavilion, shivered fiercely, and had goose bumps all over his body. He turned to look at the closed door behind him and murmured to himself: "In another two hours, should I go in and change the dressings for the lord?"
The cold wind blew, making the window frames slam. Under the dim corridor, Lu Xun stood alone, completely unpredicting that the boy in the room had already sneaked up on the window and left, slipped into the next yard, and was in love with the girl.
Jiang Chengjia gently wiped the wound on Ning Nanyou's arm, feeling distressed, and said angrily: "That Fu Bo is such a disaster. It's so hateful that he secretly attacked you and Fu Chen, delaying the process of the delegation, and causing trouble in the court. It's so hateful... My brother tried his best to find evidence to cure his crime, but was defeated one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one. The water pavilion was not good, and now we have no way to deal with Fu's family."
Ning Nanyou said: "When it comes to Fu family, I went to Zhong and North Korea this time, and I still gained a lot."
Jiang Chengjia looked up at him and asked curiously: "What are the gains?"
"When the delegation was still in Fuling, I was injured and stagnant. Fu Chen was afraid of delaying the journey, so he quietly crossed the river to Zhong and North Korea. They encountered wind and waves and happened to meet Lu Xun, who was stagnant in Zhong and North Korea. This gathering finally allowed Fu Chen and Lu Xun to find out the secrets hidden by Fu Bo in Zhong and North Korea.
The reason why Fu Bo kept obstructing Fu Chen and I to China and North Korea on the road was because he also collected a large number of troops and armies in China and North Korea."
Jiang Chengjia said in surprise: "What? He is so bold? The king of the Chinese court is meticulous and ruthless, which is completely different from our suspicious, cowardly and frivolous. Liu Qian has great power, and there are many people in his family. The kings and princes of the Chinese court are all dissatisfied with him. His power is concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and Fu Bo actually dared to station troops under Liu Qian's nose? How did he do it?"
Ning Nanyou: "Fu Bo knows the national power of China and North Korea well. If he is so cautious, if he does not have a complete solution, he will naturally not be able to take such a great risk to station troops in China and North Korea."
"All the best way?" Jiang Chengjia muttered twice, suddenly remembered something, and asked in the boy's eyes: "Can you say... the way Fu Bo stationed his troops comes from partridges?"
Ning Nanyou curled his lips and smiled, nodded slightly and said, "A Luo is so smart. I have guessed it without me explaining it in detail."
"So that's it...so it's like this? No wonder when Lu Xun was in Linhe, he found out that Partridge and Fu Bo had also secretly communicated with each other!"
"That's right. Fu Bo knew that the troops he raised in the Great Wei Dynasty were still restrained by the nobles of aristocrats. Even if he held the secrets of the various aristocrats in his hands, he could not summon all the soldiers and horses in one place when the rebellion was rebelled. Without the right time, all the aristocrats could not help him in the rebellion.
Just in case, and to make it difficult for him to have a way out after the matter was exposed. Five years ago, after Partridge sneaked into the Wei Dynasty, Fu Bo contacted him and used Fuling's natural position to exchange the weapons of the Great Wei Dynasty, which were hidden in the secret stronghold of Partridge in the Central Dynasty. At the same time, Fu Bo also stationed his troops through Partridge's power. His hidden soldiers were everywhere in the Central Dynasty. These soldiers and horses obeyed both the Partridge and Fu Bo.
Now the partridge is dead, and the people who stayed in Jianning then all listened to Fu Bo's orders. These people may not be found when they stayed in the Central Koreans, but if Fu Chen and I were sent to the Central Koreans, Liu Qian would definitely announce the death of the fourth prince Liu Qi to Jiuzhou.
At that time...those in China and North Korea who are dissatisfied with Liu Qi will try their best to eliminate the forces left by Liu Qi during his lifetime. Liu Qian will also let the flow and destroy the connections that the Fourth Prince has cultivated for many years."
Jiang Chengjia sighed: "This Fu Bo is really hidden..."
She picked up the raw silk, wrapped it around Ning Nanyou, and continued, "But... how could partridge Liu Qi cooperate with Fu Bo? It is not easy to station troops in the Central and North Korea. How much effort does it take to cover up the past? Such a dangerous thing needs to be fully trusted to do, right?"
"You are right. But if all this is based on Liu Qi's ambition, it is not difficult to understand. In today's Jiuzhou, Liu Qian firmly grasps the power and has no chance of being shaken. If Liu Qi wants to seize the throne and become the next lord of the Central and DPRK, he must cooperate with foreign enemies and fight a way out. The release may shake the mighty imperial power of the Central and DPRK.
Fu Bo also happens to be an ambitious person, but what is different from Liu Qi is that he acts cautiously and does not dare to take a wrong step for many years of preparation. He has a meticulous plan and will never act easily. This is in line with Liu Qi's thoughts. They gather for interests and hold each other's handles, so the alliance is naturally solid and unbreakable."
After Ning Nanyou explained this, Jiang Chengjia understood, but she was still surprised: "Liu Qi actually wanted to seize the throne. As far as I know... Liu Qian treats him as love as his biological child, how could he have such thoughts?"
"Not sure." The husband shook his head and denied it.
He said: "If Liu Qian really loved Liu Qi, how could he bear to send him to the Central and North Korea as the leader of a secret spy? How could he still want to stop us from going to the Central and North Korea when he learned about Liu Qi's death? He was just using Liu Qi."
Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "You are talking about it. These two people are just using each other."
She said with a sad face: "It's just that, Fu Bo has another way out. I'm afraid we want to force him to rebel...it's not that easy."
Ning Nanyou's expression suddenly darkened. He lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes covered his eyes at the moment: "I have a way. Do you know... why is Fu becoming richer over the years? Apart from the things that Fu Bo did privately that violate the law... Where did he get the money for him to secretly control such a large secret net, almost all the major tribes of the Wei Dynasty. The money he used to recruit soldiers and horses, relying solely on harsh deductions of people's wealth, private trade, and smuggling, is far from enough to support him in doing these things."
Jiang Chengjia frowned and said, "You mean...there are the forces behind Fu's back?"
Ning Nanyou uttered softly: "That's right. And this person is my father."
"Regent?!" Jiang Chengjia was startled, then shook his head and said, "How is this possible? They are not in harmony, how is it possible?"
"If you say that Fu Bo privately planned money with his father, I still think it is a bit credible. After all, it is a foregone conclusion that Fu Bo, Deng Guozhong and his father secretly colluded to collect people's wealth. Although these evidences were overthrown by Fu Bo one by one, my brother dared to be sure that the three of them must be involved in money and interests. But... if you tell me that my father has been supporting Fu Bo behind his back for years, I... I really can't believe it."
