Yan Mingzhu handed her back to him, which showed her trust in him.
Ming Xingjian looked at her deeply and said seriously: "I will try my best to guard your back, but Miss Yan, you must also remember that no matter what happens, your own life is the most important thing. I wait for you to be safe.
Return."
Although she went into danger alone for another man, as far as he was concerned, as long as she was safe and sound, that was the best.
Yan Mingzhu smiled, raised her hand and touched his head, "Then I'm leaving."
Her eldest nephew has really grown up. As an aunt, she feels very comforted. With Ming Xingjian watching over him, she can go to Qi Jue with peace of mind.
Ming Xingjian was stunned until Yan Mingzhu got on his horse and his back was almost out of sight. Ming Xingjian was still thinking about the head-touching killing just now.
Such a familiar and warm feeling... made Ming Xingjian recall that in that sun-filled boudoir, his aunt spoke to him softly, touched his head, and praised him: "
Our Jian'er is really a little prodigy and will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future."
By the time Ming Xingjian recovered from the head-touching attack, the beautiful figure had completely disappeared from sight.
Ming Xingjian clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that in the past, he was too young to stay by his aunt's side and protect her well. Now, he must do everything he can to protect Miss Yan, even if she doesn't choose him.
He will also protect her throughout her life!
Beiliang, General's Mansion.
Qi Jue and Ji Jingxue sneaked into the general's mansion together and went to the study with a very clear goal.
The commander-in-chief of Beiliang has not returned home yet, so there is no one in the study, which is convenient for Qi Jue.
"Your Highness, Miss Yan's people have searched the entire general's palace before, but still did not find a letter of collaboration with the enemy. Could this letter be hidden by the commander of Beiliang and carried with him?"
Yes, they traveled thousands of miles to come to Beiliang this time just to find letters of collaboration with the enemy, but of course they were not letters between Marquis Yongyi and Beiliang, because Marquis Yongyi was wrongly accused in the first place.
What they are looking for are letters from the mastermind behind the scenes who colluded with Beiliang. As long as they can find these letters, they can directly prove the Yuan family's innocence.
Yan Mingzhu was more aware of this than Qi Jue, so after she regained control of the Blue Bird Cavalry, she ordered the Blue Bird Cavalry to go to Beiliang to look for letters from collaborators.
But so far, there is no result here. In addition, the time is urgent this time. After Qi Jue learned about this in the letter written by Yan Mingzhu to him, he rushed forward and killed two horses before running as fast as possible.
Arriving at Beiliang.
"I have fought with him for many years, and I have some understanding of his personality. He likes to collect victory trophies to show his achievements. Marquis Yongyi has fought with him on the battlefield for so many years.
He killed all the Yuan family troops in the Battle of Yueshan. For him, such a result will definitely make him feel that his achievements are above all in the world, and he will definitely treasure all the items related to the Battle of Yueshan for his convenience.
He can take it out and feel it from time to time in the future."
Ji Jingxue asked again: "But if that's the case, it's possible that he hid these items anywhere in the house. If so, we're afraid we won't be able to find the letter in a short time. What should we do?"
"The letter must be in this study room, because there are many ornaments in this study room, which are trophies from other countries, but they are all common things, so he just put them on the surface.
On weekdays, if he wants to be able to appreciate these trophies easily and often, he will definitely put them in one place, so there must be a secret room in this room."
Ji Jingxue understood and began to search around for the switch in the secret room.
After Qi Jue turned around, his eyes fell on the shirt hanging on the hanger.
This shirt is very similar to the one when the commander-in-chief of Beiliang went into battle to kill the enemy, but this set looks newer. It is not new just after it was made, but it has not been worn very much, so it looks new.
However, there is no dust around it, indicating that its owner must wipe it frequently.
But since this suit of armor is not often worn, why should it be wiped down frequently? If you really like the suit of armor, then what you care about more should be the one you often wear when going out to fight.
This shows that there must be something fishy about this armor.
Qi Jue checked back and forth and found nothing unusual. He was wondering if he was thinking in the wrong direction. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the back of the armor.
The other parts of this armor are no different from those worn by the Beiliang commander on the battlefield, but the biggest difference is that on the back of this armor, there is a picture, to be precise, it is a map.
Depicted on the map is the entire Kyushu continent, namely Dazhao, Xiyue, Beiliang, and Dongtu, and the rest are some small affiliated countries.
But this map is somewhat different from the map of Kyushu Continent, but the specific difference is hard to tell at the moment.
Qi Jue stared at the map for a while, but didn't see the mystery. He tentatively raised his hand and touched it, and there was a slight movement between his fingers.
The color of his eyes changed slightly. The patterns on this map can be moved!
Taking a closer look, the position of the Beiliang seems to be slightly off.
Beiliang...Dazhao, then West Vietnam, East Turkestan...
Qi Jue thought of something. He pressed the map of Beiliang and moved to the west first. After merging with Xiyue, he then moved to the east and merged with Dongtu, and finally Dazhao.
When it merged with Dazhao, the wall behind it suddenly shook. Then, a secret door opened, and a secret room appeared!
Qi Jue gave a hint of sneer, "It's such a big tone, you actually want to annex the other three countries and dominate the world."
Draw a map on the armor and annex countries one by one. Finally, the entire Kyushu continent was under the rule of Beiliang, and the door to the secret room was opened.
A general has such ambition. Doesn't this ambition also represent ambition?
"Your Highness, the door to the secret room is open. I'll go explore the way first."
Ji Jingxue didn't know the situation on Qi Jue's side, so when she saw the secret room, she immediately went to investigate.
He took out the fire seal and leaned in. The corridor in the secret room was narrow and could only allow one person to pass through.
Until I walked through the long corridor, my eyes suddenly lit up. It was a space as big as two study rooms, and in this space, various objects were placed.
But it's not gold and silver jewelry, but various weapons, rows of weapons, ranging from small swords and shields to large knives and spears. In short, everything that is common on the battlefield is here.
"Your Highness, why did the Northern Liang commander put so many weapons in the secret room?"
Qi Jue looked around and stopped in front of a person covered with a black cloth, "I'm afraid it's more than just weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jue reached out and lifted up the black cloth.
What came into view was a pile of boxes. Qi Jue only opened one of the boxes at random. It contained nothing but gunpowder!
Ji Jingxue was quite shocked: "With so much gunpowder...could it be that the commander-in-chief of Beiliang wants to rebel?"
