Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 394 Accident
Mo Ran responded without thinking.

It's only a year. He has been waiting for her for five years. Does he still care about waiting for another year?

The two reached an agreement, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed and leisurely.

There was still a group of people waiting in the Xiangguo Mansion, and Ning Xianxian couldn't delay outside, so after saying goodbye to Mo Ran, he hurried back.

As a result, things happened again unexpectedly.

I don't know who leaked the news, and revealed that Mo Ran took Ning Xianxian to meet the Queen Mother.

Liang Yingqiu secretly ran to the emperor and empress, and obtained the imperial edict of marriage in advance.

Speaking of which, the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty was really weird. Originally, the eunuchs of Gongli were responsible for the declaration of the decree. Liang Yingqiu wanted to see Ning Xianxian, so he volunteered to accept the decree and went to the Xiangguo Mansion in person.

Ning Chengxin was the top leader of Da Zhou after all, and he had countless eyeliners in the palace.

In addition, he deliberately drew attention to Liang Yingqiu's movements before, so that when he just received the imperial decree and was about to set off, the news had already reached the ears of Xiangguo Mansion Ning Chengxin.

At that time, Ning Chengxin was sitting in the study, calling Ning Xianxian and Ning Tianyou to talk.

The butler ran over and whispered something to Ning Chengxin. Ning Chengxin was stunned at first, then dumbfounded.

"You go down first." Ning Chengxin waved the housekeeper to go down, then looked up at Ning Xianxian.

Ning Xianxian felt that something was wrong, but knowing that he would speak, he stood still calmly.

Ning Tianyou on the side looked a little haggard, maybe because he was under too much psychological pressure, he looked much more depressed than usual.

But he has always been used to caring about his parents, so he asked, "What's the matter with father?"

Ning Chengxin thought for a while, and said, "This matter has something to do with Xianxian."

Ning Tianyou lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

For him, the existence of Ning Xianxian was an embarrassing thing. He always wanted to avoid it, but he was called here to stand side by side with her.

"If you have something to do, you might as well speak up." Ning Xianxian said.

She has never called each other "father".

I don't know what Ning Chengxin was thinking, but he never expressed surprise and just responded like that.

He pondered and said: "According to the information I have received, the Prince of Northern Qi has already come to us with the imperial decree of marriage."

Ning Xianxian was surprised for a moment, but soon regained her composure.

This made Ning Chengxin puzzled: "Aren't you very resistant to this matter? Why are you not in a hurry when it comes to the end?"

"I know that I can't count on being a Prime Minister, so what's the use of being anxious." Ning Xianxian said calmly, "For the Xiangguo Mansion, you should be happy to marry me to Beiqi."

"What are you talking about, I've never thought about it like this as a father." Ning Chengxin was also helpless towards the daughter of the princess.

If other children dared to talk to him like that, he would have slapped him long ago.

But for the daughter in front of him, on the one hand, he has never raised her, and on the other hand, the other party has a noble status.Don't talk about fighting, he is not easy to say even serious words.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn and awkward.

At this moment, the butler didn't even give a notification, and just rushed in, sweating all over his face, and said, "Master Xiang, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?" Ning Chengxin sat still and said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, the butler calmed down, and said: "Just now there is news that the Prince of Northern Qi has been kidnapped!"

"What?" Ning Chengxin cried out.

Ning Xianxian also looked over in surprise.

She remembered that Liang Yingqiu was accompanied by a large group of guards, all of them looked inefficient, so how could they be hijacked so easily.

Ning Chengxin also had a look of disbelief: "Tell me carefully!"

"The servant came to report to the Prime Minister as soon as he got the news." The steward wiped his sweat, "It is said that the prince of Beiqi rode out of the palace alone before he could bring his guards with him because he was in a hurry to announce the decree. As a result, he didn't leave the palace for a long time. It disappeared. There was only one horse left on the Xuanwu Avenue, and there was still a little blood on the ground. I don't know if it belonged to the Prince of Beiqi..."

"Who did it?" Ning Chengxin asked.

"It hasn't been found out yet."

"Go out and continue to inquire, and report any news immediately!"

"Yes!"

The steward went down in a hurry.

Ning Chengxin stood up and walked around the room a few times, frowning deeply: "Who could it be..."

Ning Tianyou said: "Father, people in the palace must have done this."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Father, why would the person who hijacked the prince do this?" Ning Tianyou analyzed, "It must have something to do with the imperial edict in his hand. He is the one who hijacked the prince."

Ning Chengxin could not help but glance at Ning Xianxian.

Ning Xianxian smiled and said: "Second Young Master is really clever. According to what you say, isn't my suspicion the biggest?"

Ning Tianyou said with some embarrassment: "This is just my conjecture. The Princess has been here all along, so naturally it cannot be the one who kidnapped the prince."

"I can send someone else to do it."

"Okay, Xianxian, you know that Tianyou didn't mean that." Ning Chengxin interrupted her, "Even I only know about the imperial decree of marriage, so it is impossible for Xianxian to arrange it in advance... Tianyou said this matter That's right, it must be someone from the palace, and they still have the right to temporarily mobilize manpower to do this."

Ning Xianxian snorted lightly, and said, "Master Xiang is doubting His Highness Ran?"

Ning Chengxin frowned: "The truth does not say that His Highness Ran did it."

"If you have doubts in your heart, just speak up. There's no need to hide it." Ning Xianxian sneered, "I don't understand your officialdom. If you doubt Ah Ran, you can tell you that he won't do that. "

"Why should the princess be so aggressive? Father is just discussing the matter..." Ning Tianyou said in a low voice.

None of them are used to Ning Xianxian's straightforward way of doing things.

Among the people in the officialdom and the nobles, they are used to being vague in their speech and actions, leaving a little room for ambiguity.

But Ning Xianxian didn't accept this trick, and without hesitation tore off their fig leaf, and revealed the "little" under their robes.

She sneered and said: "If you really have no selfish intentions and are just discussing the matter, why do you only think that the kidnapper is for the imperial decree? Couldn't that person be for the Prince of Beiqi himself?"

Ning Chengxin and Ning Tianyou looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Ning Chengxin is the prime minister of a country, and Ning Tianyou was trained by him as his successor since childhood.

They all have a keen sense of politics.

After Ning Xianxian dialed a little bit, they immediately came to their senses.

"Master, don't forget that the purpose of the Northern Qi prince's mission to Dazhou is for the truce agreement." Ning Xianxian said, "If something happens to the Northern Qi prince in Dazhou, guess whether Beiqi will immediately send troops to attack Dazhou?"

The sweat on Ning Chengxin's body immediately came down.
