"In the beginning, the Flame Leopard Army suddenly disappeared in the Forest of Wuwu."
"Actually, the initial training of the Flame Leopard Army was conducted in the Wuwu Forest. Ordinarily, each of them is as familiar with the Wuwu Forest as their own home."
'However, they disappeared in their own home.' Ning Qingyan's eyes were dark, and she thought to herself when Ning Yan told what happened back then.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Ning Yan felt that there was something behind the disappearance of the Yanbao Army.
"Later, when I returned to Zhongdu to report on my duties, it fell to your father to trace the whereabouts of the Yanbao Army."
"In the beginning, I exchanged letters with your father and mentioned the matter of the Flame Leopard Army, but there was no progress."
"Later, Nanzhao suddenly sent troops to invade the border town. Your father wanted to lead the army, so the investigation was temporarily put aside."
"Once, your father led an army to pursue the remnants of Nanzhao and entered the Forest of Wuwu. I didn't know what happened to him inside. After he came out, he wrote to me and told me that he suspected that the Yanbao Army was still in the Forest of Wuwu.
inside."
When Ning Yan said this, he suddenly fell silent.
Ning Qingyan had a feeling in her heart that what Ning Yan was going to say next was probably the most important thing!
"Grandpa?" Seeing Ning Yan's retreat, Ning Qingyan reminded him.
Ning Yan sighed and then made up his mind and said: "After I received your father's letter, the reply was still on the way when I received the news that your father died in battle."
"At that moment, I subconsciously felt that your father did not simply die in battle, but was killed because of investigating the whereabouts of the Yanbao Army."
"It's just that after receiving the news, I was shocked. I vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and then passed out. I couldn't immediately figure out what happened."
"After coughing up blood, my body was not as good as before. I managed to hold a funeral for your father, but I didn't expect that your mother died because she couldn't accept the news that your father died in the war. To the outside world, I always said that she was
I missed him too much and became seriously ill and died."
"We are the only ones left in the Ning Mansion, one old and one young. The idea of investigating this matter can only be put on hold for the time being. I have to take good care of you first."
Speaking of this, a look of guilt appeared on Ning Yan's face. "It was at that time that I saw you crying and shouting for your mother all day long, which gave the vicious Xiao Yan mother and daughter an opportunity.
Opportunity."
"But, I have to say that you were in a better mood with them accompanying you during that time. And I felt that I could devote my energy to investigating this matter, but unexpectedly I suddenly fell ill again, and I was confused for several years.
I have been deceived by them for many years."
"At first, I just thought it was the repeated blows to my body that caused the recurrence of old injuries."
"It wasn't until I completely recovered this time that I realized I had been poisoned."
"...This time, when I came to the border town, I also took the opportunity to ask some generals who participated in the war with your father. Their words also confirmed my guess."
Ning Yan's eyes sharpened.
"They told me that during that battle, the remnants of Nanzhao were completely powerless to resist and had no choice but to retreat into the Wuwu Forest for shelter."
"Your father led his troops to pursue him, but he never came out."
"They sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find anything except some traces of tragic battles."
"In desperation, we had no choice but to report the matter to the court."
"I know that your father personally led his troops to chase after him, just to take the opportunity to investigate the affairs of the Yanbao Army."
"Moreover, it is very likely that he encountered the same thing as the Yanbao Army."
Ning Qingyan's eyes narrowed, how could she not hear the expectation hidden in Ning Yan's words?
In Ning Yan's mind, the Yanbao Army was just missing, and its life and death were unknown.
But it is precisely because of this that the Yanbao Army has a chance of survival.
If Ning Chenlang's experience was the same as that of the Yanbao Army, can we also assume that he just disappeared and was not dead?
Ning Qingyan felt that Ning Yan must have such a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Grandpa, what are your plans now?" Ning Qingyan asked.
Everything today is different from what Ning Yan imagined.
Ning Qingyan has not yet had time to enter the Xuan Realm. She has not yet received the blessing of the forces in the Xuan Realm, but she has already arrived in the Southwest Realm. There may be only a wall between her and the truth back then.
Ning Yan pondered for a moment and said to Ning Qingyan: "Now that I'm back, I naturally have to investigate this matter. Now that I have grandpa, you can leave Yan'er alone."
"When Nanzhao retreats, you and King Ding will return to Zhongdu first. You will also take the three hundred children brought back from Anyang and take good care of them. Our Ning Mansion can afford to support them."
"..." Ning Qingyan guessed that he would be like this.
"Grandpa, I won't leave. I also want to know what happened to my father back then." Ning Qingyan rejected Ning Yan's proposal.
Without waiting for Ning Yan's persuasion, she continued: "Besides, the three hundred of them are willing to come out with me because they want to experience and grow. How can such a peaceful and peaceful place in Zhongdu compare to the harshness and danger of the Southwest?"
This time, Ning Yan was speechless.
…
Ning Qingyan left after saying these words.
She did not go back to her own yard, but went to the place where three hundred people of the Ning family lived temporarily.
As soon as she reached the door, Zhao Xingmeng jumped out and blocked her way.
"Master, now that we have reached the southwest and Nanzhao is retreating, when will you destroy my Yuanli and practice physical skills?" Zhao Xingmeng asked directly.
Ning Qingyan looked him up and down: "Are you so impatient?"
Zhao Xingmeng pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
Ning Qingyan raised an eyebrow and looked at it. Behind him, many Ning family members looked at them curiously.
"The pain of having one's Yuan Li abolished is not something ordinary people can bear." Ning Qingyan withdrew her eyes and said calmly.
"Disciple has already prepared in his heart." Zhao Xingmeng said firmly, with a look of loneliness and courage that vowed not to look back.
Ning Qingyan did not refuse him this time, "Okay, early tomorrow morning, I will abolish your Yuan Power."
"Yes!" Zhao Xingmeng was so excited that his eyes shone brightly.
The two did not deliberately lower their voices when talking.
The "Qing generation" of the Ning family who came to the southwest with Ning Qingyan are all martial arts cultivators and have keen hearing, so they naturally heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.
"Are these three princes crazy? They actually want to destroy their Yuanli cultivation!"
"What are they going to do? What kind of physical skills? Damn it, she won't also destroy our cultivation!"
"No, it's impossible! If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have come!"
"No, let's go find Ning Qingze, Ning Qingke and the others quickly..."
These two people seemed to have become the leaders of their three hundred people.
After Ning Qingyan comforted Zhao Xingmeng, she just stepped into the courtyard. The people who were still curious and eavesdropping on their conversation dispersed like birds and beasts, as if she was some kind of seductive ghost.
"...Okay!" Ning Qingyan touched the tip of her nose and turned around to leave.
Just then, I met Zhao Xingmeng's embarrassed expression again.
It seemed that he also knew what his words just now caused others to misunderstand.
"Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow will be a tough battle." Ning Qingyan did not blame him, but warned him.
