Chapter 231 Hurry

The spring night is still chilling, and the quiet long street comes from the distance.

The sparse lanterns hanging on the street are shining with dim light; the mist is on the deep and invisible classical street, and in the light of the lanterns, it seems to have a dark blue color.

Everything is so deserted.

Peach Blossom Fairy and others stayed quietly in the shadow of the building and had to stay for a long time to observe the frequency of the Miao soldiers patrolling the night.

In the darkness, Wang Xian and others seemed very nervous, but Taohua Fairy was very used to such an environment.

Doing things that others do not allow in the dark is like trafficking in slanderous salt, beheading if you catch it, but that's it.

I was squatting for a long time and there was nothing else to do. Some subtle things slowly surged into my heart and continued to expand.

The situation of a crowd of people in Zhang Ning's room repeatedly appeared in her mind.

He grabbed his wrist and slowly let go.

Many things are fleeting, too fast and too hasty.Before she could understand it, it had become a past; when it slowly swelled in her heart, it had become a memory.

That's why memories are so beautiful and worth reviewing over and over again...

The sun finally rose outside the window, and Zhang Ning didn't sleep well all night.

He had packed up his luggage and sat in the room with Chen Maocai waiting for the appointment of Bai Fengjiao.

She would come and send Zhang Ning out of this very uneasy place.

Only Chen Maocai was left by his side.

Perhaps the Miao people who were delivering breakfast a while later found that there were only two people left in the guest room and would be suspicious, but there was no need to worry about this. Bai Fengjiao would come soon, and there was no need to explain anything when the person left.

The guild will play Go, right?Chen Maocai suddenly said.

When Zhang Ning looked up at him, Chen Maocai was pointing at the Go board and two chess cups on the desk not far away with a smile. Sure enough, the things were all ready-made.

It is definitely not what the Miao people put here. The Miao people probably don’t play such things. Perhaps the former owner of this house likes to play chess and leave it behind.

Zhang Ning nodded and said: I understand the rules of chess, but I rarely have time to play with this thing, so my chess skills may be a little bad.

That night, I will accompany my lord to have a game?Chen Maocai then got up and went to get the chessboard.

According to the plan, only Zhang Ning is the only one who wants to stay in this dangerous situation.

Zhang Ning felt a little uncomfortable. He could not have a good time watching such familiar people leave him one after another.

I remembered a sentence in the Book of Songs: The white rabbit is running around and looking around...

Clothing is worse than new, and people are worse than old.

However, Chen Maocai is indeed too pretentious and always pretends to be very casual. He always pretends to be very casual. Even at this time, he has to play chess with Zhang Ning to pretend to be calm. In Zhang Ning's opinion, it is just pretending to be a pen.

In fact, neither of them could calm down. As the sun continued to rise, the person who was coming still did not come. Chen Maocai had already looked out the door thirteen times; in comparison, Zhang Ning was more professional in pretending to be a pen with him, and he didn't even look back or say anything.

He had no choice but to not come; just because of the two literati Zhang Ning and Chen Maocai, it was difficult for him to even make an inch of his step in the Miao Army base camp.

Sure enough, can't you rely on a woman for such a big thing?

Or is Bai Fengjiao delayed anything that cannot escape?

After a long time, it suddenly became noisy outside and a few Miao people were walking in the corridor.Chen Maocai couldn't sit still, so he put a chess piece back into the chess cup: Wansheng went to ask what happened.

I'll go with you.Zhang Ning said.

As soon as the two of them came out, a group of Miao soldiers with green and white cloth covered their heads, leather armors hanging on their chests, and legs wrapped in weapons and legs blocked their way.

One of them asked: I have more than ten followers around me, where have you gone?

Another said coldly: When the water flows in the ritual hall, there are Han people who take advantage of the situation to kill people, so it must be those followers.

After saying that, he spoke to Miao Bing with a murmur, guessing that it might be that Zhang Ning and others would be restricted from their freedom and that they could not leave this place.

Zhang Ning had already estimated the current situation. Taohua Fairy and others didn't know that Zhang Ning had not left yet, so they had already taken action according to the agreed plan.

He immediately pointed to the room where he lived and said: What is the decision to wait for King Miao in the room?

Miao Jiang, who could speak Chinese, glanced at the room and nodded and said: You are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait here.

The two returned to the room, and now there were a group of Miao soldiers carrying weapons guarding the door.

Chen Maocai and Zhang Ning looked at each other and sighed.

Zhang Ning pointed to the chessboard on the table: The winner has not been decided yet, let’s finish it?

After a while, there was a sound of talking outside, and I couldn't understand the local dialect, as if someone had come.

Zhang Ning turned his head and saw two women standing at the door, one of whom was wearing a purple hat and covering his face with a gauze. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhang Ning could recognize it. It was Bai Fengjiao.

Two Miao girls walked into the house, and the people around Bai Fengjiao immediately closed the door.

Bai Fengjiao lifted the scarf in front of the purple hat and said apologetically: I'm late.My father told me that I was over in the morning and was scolded and couldn't get out.If it were someone else, I would naturally be able to leave, but my father was angry at that time, so I had to stay there; but I never forgot today's agreement in my heart... Do you believe it?

Zhang Ning nodded and said: I believe it.

Bai Fengjiao didn't know that she was going to do something this morning, so she couldn't have any plans.

Do you really believe it?Bai Fengjiao looked at Zhang Ning's face seriously, trying to find a trace of blame and dissatisfaction on his face.

But Zhang Ning said kindly: You have no reason to harm me, I believe you must have something that cannot escape.Besides, isn’t Miss Bai coming now?

I... Bai Fengjiao's expression was almost about to cry.

This woman focused on the fact that her own promise had not been fulfilled, but ignored the most critical link: Zhang Ning conspired to kill the Ming envoy.

If this hadn't happened, what would have happened if she was earlier or later?

She looked up at Zhang Ning: What should you do now?what do I do……

Zhang Ning pondered for a moment: Anything my subordinates do is under my instruction. Please help me to protect them temporarily and not let them be hurt.How should King Miao deal with this matter first come to me.

Bai Fengjiao gave Bai Gui around her a few words without saying a word. She deliberately ordered in Chinese, "Little Gui, hurry up and ask which tribe the people who captured the assassin. If they know the leader, pass on me and let them treat the arrested people well and wait for the Miao King's decision."

Bai Jiao responded and immediately opened the door and left.

I went to plead with my father.Bai Fengjiao said again, she thought about it and shook her head, No, I have to be here to accompany you, I can't let others hurt you... I didn't betray you!

Zhang Ning couldn't help but ask: Why do you want to do this?

Bai Fengjiao raised her head, took a step forward hesitantly, bit her red lips lightly, and spoke up to say something.

Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a Miao man stood at the door and bent down and spoke.

Bai Fengjiao stood there and translated: My father asked someone to take you to the Central Army to meet.I'll go with you.

……

In the lobby of the Luxi Office, an old man with hair wrapped in cloth in a cone-shaped red coat wearing a double-breasted red coat was sitting on the seat.

The table, seats, doors, windows and ceremonial guards placed beside the walls are all Han people. The plaque behind them is written in Chinese characters, with a mirror hanging high and still hanging, while there are some people sitting on the seats that do not match the environment at all. The scene is indescribable incongruence.

The old man sitting in the upper throne was the old man who proclaimed himself Miao King. The people below included the leaders and important figures of the Long Dacheng Family, the Shi Family, the Ma Family, the Liao Family and other major clans. The most powerful figures of the Miao Army gathered together.

On weekdays, when these people sit together to discuss matters, they cannot argue with each other, but today they seem very silent because this matter involves the daughter of the old man.

If Bai Fengjiao had not informed him, the third prince from the Zhuque Army would not have known that the Miao army and Ming envoy were negotiating in private, and there was news that Bai Fengjiao and Zhu Ning had a close relationship these two days; some people even believed in private that the accomplice of the murder of Ming envoy Geng Huaiyuan was Bai Fengjiao.

At this point, even the Long Dacheng, who advocated peace talks with the government, did not want to offend anyone: Bai Fengjiao is the daughter of the old lady of Miao. What is not openly accusing Bai Fengjiao? Isn’t it embarrassing King Miao?

At this time, the Miao army was a united by many families and tribes, but the old man was still the largest. At the same time, he was supported by all tribes. The dragon and big insect did not want to have conflicts with the old man.

There are also some people who have a lot of relationships with Bai Fengjiao.

For example, the patriarch of the Shi family was originally the adopted son of Ishida and Ishida's adopted son. If Bai Fengjiao had not spoken to him in the Bai family and Shi family, it would have been impossible for him to inherit the family's land and property.

So even if Bai Fengjiao did something wrong, the leaders were unwilling to say it, just waiting for the old man to discipline himself.

The old man sat with a pale face for a while, and finally spoke up and said: I will lock my little girl up and prevent her from interacting with the Han people again.

The atmosphere suddenly became alive, and the leaders praised King Miao's wisdom one after another.

Everyone didn't say it before, but they didn't agree with the relationship between the Miao women and the Han people. The long-term ethnic estrangement made people more xenophobic.

The old man was recognized by the leaders, so he took advantage of the situation and said: Not long ago, the army of Duke Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was heading towards Longtou Temple, and the distance was not far away.Now their envoy died in the Miao army camp again. The king believed that it was no longer feasible to negotiate peace with the government army; he decided to negotiate alliances with the Zhuque army in Gaodu County to deal with the government army's attack.

Everyone agreed one after another, and in a few words, most of the leaders convinced them. The old man once again established his authority among the Miao people.

Next, some people said that Zhu Yong and Zhu Ning had a grudge. They might attack Gaodu first. Let Zhu Ning go and let him fight with the official arms and weapons to benefit the Miao army; if the official army attacked Lu Xi first, let Gaodu's Zhuque army support behind, and there will always be benefits to the alliance agreement...
