Chapter 116 Late Night Visit
At the same time, tonight, there were also people who did not take off their armor, frowned, and went to Nangong Ling's tent with deep thoughts.
"General Dong, I wonder why you came here late at night?"
Nangong Ling had just left Feng Jiuqing's room when she received a message from her subordinates and rushed to meet Dong Yi.
Dong Yi bowed his hand to him, his expression slightly solemn.
"King Sheng, the people who sneaked into the city today are from the Western Regions, and the leader among them is someone who is familiar to King Sheng."
Dong Yi said calmly: "This person's name is Mo Yutian."
"It's him."
Nangong Ling frowned and entered a business-like state for a second, "To get to Huacheng from the Western Regions, you have to pass through the barbarian territory. It seems that they are indeed cooperating."
Dong Yi looked at his expression and saw nothing.
Then he said: "It's a pity that the spies in the city were well hidden, so we teamed up to let him escape, and only captured a group of dead soldiers."
No one could get clues from the dead man's mouth, so the clues were interrupted again.
But it also made them understand that even if the current Flower City has been closed down, there are still loopholes.
However, given the previous level of openness of the Flower City, it is reasonable to expect that it would be difficult to detect a secret work that had been hidden for many years.
But Nangong Ling still said: "No matter what, these people must be found."
Dong Yi naturally has no objection, but his visit tonight is not just because of this matter.
He said: "King Sheng, there is no purpose. People like Mo Yutian will not come in person. What's more, knowing that you are here, he is clearly here to die."
Nangong Ling heard the implication and glanced at him deeply, with a stern look on his face.
"There must be something worth risking for him."
Although he knew that Nangong Ling had a vicious reputation, Dong Yi still said calmly: "And Mo Yutian's purpose in this trip is Miss Feng."
Nangong Ling's eyes flickered slightly.
He had never called Feng Jiuqing's name in front of Dong Yi, and even intentionally or unintentionally avoided talking about her identity.
But in the end I couldn't hide it anymore.
"Prince Sheng, Miss Feng is actually your deceased Princess Sheng, the young master of the Western Regions." Dong Yi seemed to be asking, but his tone was firm.
"This matter has nothing to do with her." Nangong Ling looked directly at him, her tone not allowing any comments.
He didn't deny it, that is, he admitted it.
Dong Yi frowned fiercely, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he let out a cold light, "King Sheng, I don't mean to remind you, you have been fighting for many years, but who is responsible for your only defeat?"
Nangong Ling was victorious in every battle and was the nemesis of the Western Regions. The biggest defeat in his life was the death of those 50,000 soldiers.
There was a gloom between Nangong Ling's brows, but his expression remained cold. He said word by word, "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers."
After Dong Yi heard this, he flicked his sleeves and said: "Prince Sheng, you are so obsessed! She is a spy sent from the Western Regions!"
"She was indeed once." Nangong Ling remained calm and turned to look directly into his eyes, "But it is undeniable that she was still a pawn used by the Western Regions to consolidate their interests through marriage."
"Prince Sheng, since you are excusing him in this way, let me ask. Huacheng was suddenly attacked, and Princess Sheng appeared in Huacheng. Don't you think it is too coincidental?"
Dong Yi knew it was difficult to persuade, but still insisted on his own idea. He asked in a different way.
Even though Feng Jiuqing saved someone, he would not easily trust a spy from the Western Regions. This was due to his prudence as a city general.
Nangong Ling knew that she couldn't force him to believe it, but she still felt unhappy in her heart.
The atmosphere inside the tent was visibly tense.
Dong Yi was not afraid of death and continued: "King Sheng, I respect you because of your great military exploits."
"But if the personal relationship between your children affects your judgment, then you are irresponsible to the people of the city!"
Nangong Ling didn't refute, just stared at him, her momentum not weakening by half.
"If you want me to believe that she has nothing to do with this matter, that's fine, as long as Prince Sheng can give me a piece of evidence."
Dong Yijian said.
Nangong Ling was silent again.
If there is evidence, why should he avoid the important matter and take the easy one?
With his character, it was impossible to say that he trusted Feng Jiuqing without any reservation.
There were two parts of doubt in his heart. The two parts were that he didn't know why Feng Jiuqing came to Huacheng.
The remaining eight points were trust. He believed that Feng Jiuqing had nothing to do with this matter.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Dong Yi immediately said with a strong attitude: "King Sheng, since you can't produce evidence and you insist on protecting Princess Sheng's words, let's each take a step back."
"You send Princess Sheng to leave Huacheng. If she doesn't stay in Huacheng or return to the Western Regions, I will no longer pursue this matter." Dong Yi said firmly.
Nangong Ling didn't even think about it and said directly: "It's not the time yet."
"Now that people in the Western Region know that Feng Jiuqing is not dead, they will definitely look for her. Sending her away now is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Nangong Ling said coldly.
So it is better to let Feng Jiuqing stay in Huacheng, under his wings, so that she can be protected.
Dong Yi had a headache expression on his face.
If it were anyone else, he would have scolded her to the point of fainting, but it was Nangong Ling in front of him, so he still kept his sense and gave him some face.
"If that doesn't work, then I'm going to test Princess Sheng's thoughts." Dong Yi said simply.
Nangong Ling glanced at him coldly, "What do you want to do?"
"I might as well ask Prince Sheng first how much you trust Princess Sheng." Dong Yi said suddenly.
Nangong Ling was silent for a while, and finally said, "Eight points."
Dong Yi took a deep breath and cursed in his heart that he had seen the wrong person, but his expression remained unchanged and he asked: "What is the reason for the two doubts that King Sheng has?"
Nangong Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally said without concealing it: "I don't know why she came to Huacheng."
Dong Yi curled his lips, thinking that Nangong Ling was really biased.
Isn't this an obvious thing? Could there be such a coincidence in this world?
But he still restrained himself and said: "In that case, I will arrange for someone to test whether Princess Sheng has anything to do with this matter. We will find out once we find out. Prince Sheng should have no objection, right?"
Nangong Ling closed her eyes, but knew that she had to give them peace of mind after all, so she could only say: "Yes."
After a long while, he sighed again, "But I still believe in her."
…
Feng Jiuqing didn't know what they were planning in the middle of the night.
That night, she slept in a daze, but fortunately it did not have much impact on her condition the next day.
Because she had a plan in mind and discussed with Master Jiu to get the needle for him, Feng Jiuqing took the medicine box to Jubao Tower.
"Miss Feng is here."
Seeing Feng Jiuqing's arrival, Master Jiu, who had already been prepared, asked Uncle Bai to lead her straight to the room.
Feng Jiuqing was not polite and told him bluntly, "While I am treating Master Jiu, no one can disturb me, so please trouble Uncle Bai."
Uncle Bai thought of something, and a strange look flashed across his eyes, his eyes darkened.
