It’s very important

As soon as he passed the mountain that blocked his view, Ning Shiqian saw Bai Jiuxiao galloping on his horse in the distance. He held the reins with one hand and leaned over to the side of the horse's belly. He held a long sword in the other hand and swept across with his arms.

The legs of General Feng's horse that he rode by were relatively out of place.

The horse screamed in pain, knelt down on its front hooves, and threw General Feng out.

When General Feng fell from his horse, he also waved his arms towards Bai Jiuxiao.

Several people traveling with him thought he was wielding a sword, but when they saw it was a black object, they realized it was not the sword.

It's gunpowder!

The faces of several people changed greatly, because Bai Jiuxiao was attacking them with a sword, and they were with Bai Jiuxiao.

Ning Shiqian was equally horrified.

General Feng actually threw gunpowder at Bai Jiuxiao regardless of his own safety?

It was too late to move forward, so he yelled: "Bai"

As soon as the word was uttered, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the gunpowder had exploded.

White smoke filled the air and nothing could be seen.

Ning Shiqian felt that there was also a bang in his mind, and everything went blank. He suddenly came back to his senses. He touched the horse's back with his toes and flew up, his eyes almost splitting.

General Feng was still worried at this time, fearing that Bai Jiuxiao had not been hurt. He ignored the pain of being thrown to the ground and threw another gunpowder into the white smoke.

After letting go, he found Ning Shiqian flying towards the white smoke with Qinggong. He was shocked and it was too late to take it back.

"Fourth Prince! Be careful!"

It's also too late to stop it.

There was another loud "bang" sound, almost at the same time as his voice, drowning out his voice.

When Ning Shiqian woke up, he didn't know the time.

Looking at the familiar tent roof above, he sat up with excitement.

He was actually in his own wing of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness is awake." Shi Lei, who was standing by, said in surprise.

Ning Shiqian grabbed his arm: "Where is Bai Jiuxiao?"

Shi Lei shook his head: "My subordinates don't know either."

"What do you mean I don't know? I don't know where she is, or whether she is dead or alive?" Ning Shiqian asked, breathing heavily.

Shi Lei was a little frightened by his appearance and quickly replied: "I haven't heard of her death, but my subordinates don't know where she is."

Ning Shiqian felt slightly relieved.

With her status, if she died, there would be no news.

"Then how did I come back? How was the war between the two countries? Ever since I separated from you, everything I didn't know has come to me very quickly." Ning Shiqian got out of bed.

Shi Lei quickly put his shoes away.

"On that day, the prince asked his subordinates to follow Zhang Fan."

"That day?" Ning Shiqian frowned and interrupted his words, "How many days have it been now?"

"It took two days on the way back, and after returning home, the prince lay in bed for another three days, for a total of five days." Shi Lei replied.

Ning Shiqian pursed his lips, and the worry between his brows deepened.

Signaling Shi Lei: "Continue."

"The prince asked his subordinates and Zhang Fan to guard Bai Jiuxiao and wait there. Bai Jiuxiao suddenly woke up, and then he seemed to be a different person. His eyes were extremely cold. He pulled out the silver needle that the prince had stabbed on his neck with his backhand.

He took his subordinate's sword, dismounted his horse, and prepared to ride away."

"Both my subordinates and Zhang Fan couldn't stop us. She pointed her sword at us and said that anyone who stopped her would be killed. She looked very scary. We insisted on stopping her, and she almost killed Zhang Fan and all of us pulling the cart.

There are four horses left. She beats her horse and leaves, and we can't catch up."

"I was afraid that the prince would not see us when he came back, so we could only wait where we were. But after waiting and waiting for the prince, the subordinates had no choice but to walk to Sang Lin's military camp to inquire."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone will find out that 'Si Ya' is fake. Zhang Fan didn't go, one of my subordinates did."

"Then my subordinates saw the soldiers carrying the unconscious prince back. According to General Feng, the prince was knocked unconscious by gunpowder."

"Am I the only one? I'm the only one who carried it back?" Ning Shiqian asked.

Shi Lei nodded: "The prince was the only one my subordinates saw at that time."

Ning Shiqian closed his eyes.

I hope that woman escapes.

"Continue, what about the war? How is the war? Are the two armies still fighting?"

"No, there is no fight. General Feng has withdrawn. It is said that in order to save marching time on the road, Sang Lin's soldiers did not wear armor and went into battle lightly. Then Zhao used rockets and prepared arrows and kerosene on Zhao's side.

It was so sufficient that Sang Lin could not attack for a long time and burned many soldiers to death. He suffered heavy casualties, so he withdrew his troops."

Ning Shiqian pursed his thin lips into a cold straight line.

This was all due to General Feng's disobedience.

"Has General Feng returned to court?"

"I'm back."

"Did Father punish him?"

His kind is not only a capital crime, but also punishes nine tribes.

Shi Lei shook his head: "No."

"No?" Ning Shiqian was surprised.

How can it be?

"Well, I haven't heard of his punishment. Chef Liu in the mansion said that he met him on the street at noon."

Ning Shiqian's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, he stood up, took a cloak and walked out.

Shi Lei quickly followed up: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said you should stay in bed more."

"Prepare the horse." Ning Shiqian ordered him without stopping.

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"General Feng's Mansion."

He wanted to ask what was going on, and he wanted to ask Bai Jiuxiao what was going on.

Shi Lei knew that he couldn't stop him, so he quickly followed his instructions.

Ning Shiqian drove his horse to General Feng's mansion. He went straight into the mansion to find Feng Ji without waiting for his servants to report.

"Does General Feng owe me an explanation?"

Feng Ji knew why he came.

He bowed to him and said, "Fourth Prince, please sit down."

Ning Shiqian didn't move, standing in front of him, waiting for him to say.

Feng Ji looked at him.

Everyone in the court said that the fourth prince was more handsome than Pan An, but had a dull temperament. He once thought so too.

But at this moment, he realized that it was all a misunderstanding.

This man obviously has a strong aura, but just standing in front of him gives people an invisible oppression.

"Forget it, the Fourth Prince will know about this matter sooner or later, so Feng should tell the truth to the Fourth Prince."

When he returned to the palace to resume his duties with the emperor, he had already asked the emperor what to do if the fourth prince pressed him. The emperor said that he should just tell him directly.

"Feng did not resist the edict. Before Feng received the imperial edict brought by the fourth prince, the emperor's sword-carrying guard Zhan Mo had already gone to deliver an imperial edict to Feng."

Ning Shiqian was slightly stunned.

Feng Ji continued: "The imperial edict sent by Zhan Guards said that the Fourth Prince would also go to the camp to deliver the edict. Let Feng pretend to agree and wait for the people from the Fourth Prince's side to persuade Zhao to suspend his troops. Then we will attack him unprepared.

Can win a great victory."

Ning Shiqian was shocked.

He stood there silently for a while.

Finally, he lowered his eyes and curled his lips, shook his head slightly, and couldn't say a word.

In fact, when Shi Lei said that his father had not punished Feng Ji, he also made this conjecture.

But he didn't think it would be the case.

In any case, he is his son after all, and he will not take advantage of him to this extent.

But it turns out that it's very good.

He raised his eyes, and his eyes were filled with desolation.

"Where is Bai Jiuxiao?" he asked Feng Ji.

There will be more at nine o'clock~~
