The atmosphere in the room was a bit unexpected. Since the two met, they had never been in such a tense confrontation like now.
"The little girl has someone to rely on, so she won't be afraid." Li Man'er was the first to break the silence and said to Qi Yihan with a smile: "Besides, there is no murderous intention in the prince. It shows that he has no murderous intention, so why should the little girl be afraid."
Qi Yihan looked at her deeply and asked, "Why are you looking for me?" If there was nothing important, Li Man'er would not take such a big risk to look for him.
Li Man'er reached out and poured herself a cup of tea, gestured to Qi Yihan, then put it to her lips and took a sip.
"When I came to Mobei, I didn't see many things, but what I saw were all useful things. The prince is so clever and far-sighted that the little girl admires him."
Qi Yihan felt offended, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"From the first day I moved into the government office, Miss Xiao Qi has never looked down upon me. On the surface, she treats me very affectionately, but in fact she has always looked down on me. She can't say anything to me.
They are all perfunctory words. In the eyes of Miss Xiao Qi, I am just a person who knows nothing and has little experience. Even if I cured Marquis Tie Dan's disease, she still looks down on me."
Li Man'er said softly: "I never care about what others think of me. As long as she doesn't tolerate me, I naturally won't care about what she thinks in her heart, as long as she looks okay on the surface. But that day Xiao Qiniang
They sent someone to look for me, but they asked me to see her new outfit."
"New outfit?"
Li Maner smiled and said: "New clothes and new jewelry, it looks like they are newly made. The materials are very exquisite and the styles are new. And the makeup is different from usual, as if it was specially prepared for someone. Xiao Qi
The girl asked me to come over because she actually wanted to hear my opinion on whether her outfit was suitable."
Qi Yihan also took a water glass and poured himself a glass of warm water.
"What on earth are you going to say."
"I have never understood why Miss Xiao Qi has changed so much and who is she waiting for." An Zixi said: "Until that day, the prince told me that there was someone from you in the government office, and he said that
You arranged for the two doorkeepers to come in, so I have doubts in my heart."
"It's too far-fetched."
Li Man'er nodded and put the cup in his hand on the table, "Yeah, this alone is too far-fetched. But Xiao Qiniang clearly knew what I was like, and she openly set up a match between Xiao Si and me.
, why is this? I am afraid that she, like Princess Wuhan, has undue thoughts towards the prince, and would even betray the Xiao family for the sake of the prince, am I right? "
"She betrayed the Xiao family not because of me."
"Maybe it's not all for the prince, but do you dare to say that there is no credit for you in this?" Li Er curled his lips, his disgust was very obvious, "I don't want to know the reason why Xiao Qiniang and the Xiao family turned against each other, I just want to know,
Does the prince know about her imprisoning my uncle?"
Qi Yihan obviously did not expect that this matter would be related to her uncle, and immediately said: "You mean she imprisoned your uncle? Which one was imprisoned, Ning Qianjing or Ning Qianzhao? Aren't they supposed to be in Jiangnan?"
The sons of the Ning family are all famous. Ning Qianjing, the eldest son of Ning, took over Ning Liancheng's class. After all, he is the eldest son, so the Ning family's business is in his hands. Ning Qianjing is a person with extraordinary knowledge and courage in doing things.
, has an iron-blooded wrist, but he is also a person who understands the righteousness deeply.
The second eldest son, Ning Qianzhao, is not bad either. He is humble and polite. He is a famous smiling fox in the business world. When it comes to the second master of the Ning family, it can be said that everyone knows about him.
The most important thing is that the two Ning brothers have a deep love for each other and will never let business matters affect their brotherly relationship.
This is quite rare.
"It's my uncle Ning Daocheng."
A look of surprise flashed in Qi Yihan's eyes, "Didn't your uncle disappear for many years? Why was he imprisoned by Xiao Qiniang? Is he still in the government office now?"
He also sent someone to find Ning Daocheng in order to ask him to cure his poison, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time, and then gave up.
But he didn't expect that Ning Daocheng would be imprisoned in the government office in Mobei.
"Your Majesty, you really don't know?" Qi Yihan's expression didn't seem to be hypocritical. If he really didn't know about this matter, then the fact that Xiao Qiniang imprisoned Ning Daocheng had nothing to do with Qi Yihan, and he would have lost a lot of grudges.
"I don't need to lie to you."
This is true. If the Ninth Prince wants to do something, he doesn't have to worry about others at all. Although he has a bad reputation, he has always been upright. He did it and he admits it.
"In that case, can the prince confess to his daughter whether there will be a fierce battle between Zun Guo and the barbarians?"
If you want to hide this kind of thing, you can only hide it from ordinary people. People like Li Man'er are naturally keen on fighter jets. Even if you lock her in an airtight room, she can still guess a thing or two.
What's more, she was in the government office and had the ability to sneak out at any time. In addition, after Xiao Si came back, she went to the street again, so she could naturally analyze the situation on the street.
"How did you find out?"
"There are a lot of men on the street who pretend to be ordinary people, but are actually tall and powerful. These people are not easy to mess with at first glance. They have skills in them.
There was no emperor traveling on the street, so why were there so many secret guards? It was obviously just in case, to monitor whether there were enemy spies in the city.
Moreover, food prices are rising quietly, and many strategic materials are already in short supply. Let’s talk about medicinal materials. Many medicines for knife wounds are no longer available. The supply list I gave Xiao Qiniang has several medicinal materials, all of which are used to treat external injuries.
Haven't found them all yet.
Probably in order to stabilize the public sentiment, the government did not take any action, let alone put up warning notices."
Li Man'er felt that doing so would be harmful but useless, so he expressed his worries, "Whenever a war is approaching, the army and the people should work together to overcome the difficulties. The sky is high in Mobei and the emperor is far away. I want to wait for the rear."
I'm afraid it won't be easy to provide support. I think that at this time, the Xiao family should ask Heaven to listen and ask the court to provide backup to prepare for any changes."
"What if you were to make the arrangements?"
"There are three major towns behind Mobei, forming a dichotomy. If materials, food, and elite troops are stored in these three towns, we can support Mobei as quickly as possible." Li Maner dipped his fingers in the water in the water glass.
He drew a few simple lines on the table and put the teacup at the front, "This is Mobei. Only if it is impregnable can the people of the country behind you be safe. We should evacuate the old, weak, women and children from Mobei City."
, leaving strong men behind to defend against the enemy together."
Qi Yihan said after a moment: "This is just your guess."
