In Ning's mansion, Li Yangzhou stood up wearing his clothes and holding a candlestick. He looked at Ning Qingyan who suddenly appeared with some surprise.
"Uncle Zhou." Ning Qingyan smiled slightly.
Li Yangzhou came to his senses and said immediately: "Miss, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came back? I could pick you up!"
Ning Qingyan shook her head with a smile, took out a letter and the jade pendant that Ning Yan had given her before, and handed them to Li Yangzhou.
"Miss, what are you..." Li Yangzhou's eyebrows twitched and he didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.
Ning Qingyan explained: "The letter is for grandpa, please give it to me. This jade pendant... you should also give it to grandpa. Why is this so? I have already explained it in my letter."
Seeing this, Li Yangzhou had to reach out and take the letter and jade pendant.
However, he still didn't understand Ning Qingyan's intention. "Miss, didn't you just come back from the southwest?"
Why don't you tell the old general face to face if you have something to say?
There was also this jade pendant. Li Yangzhou later knew what it meant.
Now, Ning Qingyan actually wants to return it to the old general. What does this mean?
"Uncle Zhou, I will leave Dahao soon and go to the Xuan Realm. When I came, I had already asked Yuzhu and Yugui, and they were all willing to go with me. They are packing their luggage here."
"I came to see you, not only to ask you to help deliver some things, but also to say goodbye to you."
Ning Qingyan told her why she came.
Li Yangzhou was shocked. "Miss, are you going to the Xuan Realm?"
Ning Qingyan nodded.
Li Yangzhou opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask Ning Qingyan how to get there, how she could take people there, and why she was in such a hurry?
However, he saw that Ning Qingyan obviously did not explain in detail.
Even before he spoke, Ning Qingyan said: "I will explain all the reasons in the letter, grandpa will understand."
Ning Qingyan only told Ning Yan about Bixi.
It was precisely because of this that she knew that Ning Yan would accept it even if he knew her whereabouts after receiving the letter.
"master!"
While talking, Yuzhu Yugui had already packed up her gifts and arrived here.
Li Yangzhou couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only tell the two sisters Yuzhu and Yugui to serve and protect Ning Qingyan.
The two sisters also agreed one by one.
They originally came to Ning Qingyan voluntarily, just to see if they could change their own destiny.
But I didn't expect that there would be a chance to enter the mysterious world.
From this point alone, they owed Ning Qingyan a huge debt of gratitude.
Not to mention that they have a master-servant relationship, even if they didn't, the two sisters would swear allegiance to Ning Qingyan due to their kindness!
"Uncle Zhou, let's go. In the next few days, there will be turmoil in China. Just guard Ning Mansion." Ning Qingyan said to Li Yangzhou before leaving.
At this time, Li Yangzhou still couldn't understand what this meant.
It was not until dawn after Ning Qingyan left with sisters Yuzhu and Yugui that Li Yangzhou understood the meaning of her words.
…
Ning Qingyan's coming and going did not alarm anyone.
After dawn, the Zhongdu City Gate originally opened during normal hours.
However, less than half an hour after it opened, a herald from the palace arrived on horseback. With Emperor Dahao's oral instructions, he immediately closed all the city gates in Zhongdu and strictly prohibited anyone from entering or exiting.
At the same time, a large number of forbidden troops were searching the streets and closing the passage between the inner city and the outer city.
For a time, there was a roaring sound in the central capital.
Even the royal families are imprisoned in various mansions and are not allowed to go out without permission.
At first, no one knew what happened.
When the news reached Ning Mansion, when Li Yangzhou saw the Imperial Guards patrolling outside the door, he couldn't help but think of the words Ning Qingyan left before leaving last night.
Inexplicably, he felt that everything in Zhongdu today had something to do with his little master.
Or maybe, the little master knows everything.
But now that Ning Qingyan has left, even if he wants to ask, he has nowhere to go.
No further news came until the afternoon, before the sun set.
The person who brought the news to Li Yangzhou was the third prince Zhao Xingmeng, and he was accompanied by Fuchuan.
"It's King Jingnan."
"I told my father the news that King Jingnan secretly sent assassins to kill us. My father was furious and sent people to King Jingnan's palace to bring King Jingnan back."
"However, the people who went there found a secret room in the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, as well as the bodies of King Jingnan and several ministers of the court."
"Not only that, they also found a lot of evidence in the secret room that King Jingnan intended to rebel."
"After these things were presented to my father, my father was furious."
"Therefore, we ordered the central capital to be sealed off this morning to thoroughly investigate everyone involved in the rebellion of King Jingnan."
"I'm afraid that Zhongdu will be so nervous for some time in the future. If Master is away, the Ning Mansion will have to work for you."
After Zhao Xingmeng finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed to Li Yangzhou very politely.
Li Yangzhou hurriedly dodged and said, "The third prince does not need to pay such a big courtesy to me."
Zhao Xingmeng said: "My master respects you, so naturally I must respect you too."
Li Yangzhou listened to his tone and the calm look of the taciturn Fukawa, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the whereabouts of my eldest lady?"
Sure enough, both of them nodded.
Li Yangzhou fell silent.
There are some things he shouldn't ask.
In fact, he really wanted to know why the eldest lady even took Yugui Yuzhu away, but did not leave with the third prince who was taken as a disciple, and Fukawa who was taken as a subordinate?
Zhao Xingmeng understood his hesitation.
Immediately, he explained: "It's me and I who want to try to reach for the stars."
Li Yangzhou suddenly realized. "So that's it."
…
After the mastermind hiding in Zhongdu was eliminated with his own hands, Ning Qingyan no longer took this matter to heart.
After she gathered with the remaining people with Yuzhu Yugui, she left directly.
They kept walking westward for almost half a month before they came to a sea area near the west.
Looking at the boundless sea, Ning Qingyan sighed in her heart, 'Fortunately, Dahao is located closer to the edge of the mortal world. Otherwise, if you want to get here, you would have to pass through several countries.'
The four maids stood behind Ning Qingyan, and also standing behind her were Ning Qingze, Ning Qingke, Ning Qingyou and Ning Qinglin.
Eight people stood in a row, looking at the sea with Ning Qingyan.
"It is said that the gate to the mysterious world is above this sea area."
"I heard that through this sea area, you can reach the mysterious world."
"I've heard that too, and there are many dangers in this sea area, and there are even narrow escapes. Only Xuan cultivators can cross the sea."
Ning Qingyan heard the discussions of the people behind her.
She was noncommittal and didn't intend to say anything. She just waved her hand and a white light flew out of her sleeves and fell into the sea...
