Chapter 222 Get ready

Ning Feng took the map, carefully observed the other roads in the map, and nodded vigorously.

able!

"The terrain of this road is flat, which can prevent robbers from using the terrain to ambush."

When the robbers were mentioned, Ning Weiguo's expression changed slightly as he was arranging manpower.

He thought of the time when he sent twenty bottles of perfume to Liujiazhuang.

Looking at the thirty bullock carts in front of us, there are not only ten thousand bottles of perfume, but also tobacco seeds that the governor has ordered to be delivered to Jing'an City without a single drop.

For some reason, he always had the feeling that the road ahead was more dangerous than delivering twenty bottles of perfume that day.

"Is it because these ten thousand bottles of perfume are worth five hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Ning Weiguo was muttering.

Bang!

A shield fell to the ground.

The yamen servant disguised as a coachman quickly confessed and found another hemp rope to tie it up.

This movement attracted the attention of Jiang Yan and Yu Zhengrong.

"Ning Zhaomo, why is there a shield on the car? Is this to prevent long-range raids with bows and arrows?"

Yu Zhengrong looked at the official road that Ning Wuxu had selected on the map and burst into laughter.

"How can ordinary petty thieves or bandits dare to attack Princess Xian's convoy on the official road unless they are desperate for their lives?"

If not, Yu Zhengrong would not only be ignorant of the practical value of tobacco seeds, but also ignorant of the killer.

It is also not related to the Jin Wang Sect.

Ning Wuyan thought he was an enemy sent by Zhou An to confuse him.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. The governor said that we can only find so many tobacco seeds in the near future. It is not certain whether there will be another batch. This thing is afraid of fire and water, so it is very precious."

Ning Weiguo didn't mention that this was Ning Wuyan's arrangement.

In fact, he also felt that his nephew's special use of a shield was a bit fussy, but he found out that someone offered him one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy his nephew's head.

He even provided each yamen officer with an extra bucket of arrows.

If someone really encounters a long-range sneak attack, they are within the enemy's range anyway, so they can temporarily block them with Dunjia.

Wait until you have the opportunity to counterattack and kill the enemy in one fell swoop.

After all, only officers and soldiers can use such things as shields. No matter how much money a killer has, he can't buy them. Even if he can buy them, the killer mainly relies on flexibility to do things. It is impossible to carry shields weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms as arrows.

target.

Jiang Yan opened the oilcloth again and took a look at the Kongming lantern inside that could reach the sky.

Dozens of barrels of arrows were tied to the back of each vehicle, and there was also fuel in them. He looked at Ning Wuyan who was checking the fuel and sighed meaningfully: "I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so well prepared."

It seems his intuition was right.

That day, Ning Wuhuang did not show him how to use tobacco.

Perhaps it has a lot to do with the fact that Suri attaches so much importance to the transportation of these trucks of tobacco seeds today.

Rather than saying that he was going to escort, he thought he was going to fight.

"When you go out, it's always good to prepare more."

Ning Wuyang smiled and brushed it off.

To be confirmed ready.

He walked towards Zhou Jingxian who had finished counting the items.

"Ten thousand bottles, no more, no less."

Zhou Jingxian handed the account book to Zheng Donglin, her steward.

After Zheng Donglin took it, he took a deep look at the shield on the back panel. His originally straight face now looked more serious.

"Mr. Ning."

Zheng Donglin said hello and walked towards Zhuangzi, asking to prepare a carriage.

Ning Wuyang pretended not to hear, and said briskly to Zhou Jingxian: "If I ride too slowly, Princess Xian, please wait for me."

He has only practiced archery recently. Since he has no plans to ride a horse, he is not very good at equestrian skills.

Of course.

He mentioned this simply because he wanted Zhou Jingxian to know that he was "unprepared".

"You can't ride away on horseback. I'll ride in the carriage with you. Manager Zheng is responsible for driving the horses. Don't worry, he once drove eight carriages when Grandpa Huang offered sacrifices to heaven. He was fast and steady."

So powerful?

Ah, no.

"The carriage moves slowly."

Ning Wuyang reminded her.

Zhou Jingxian sighed softly and looked at the road she was about to embark on.

"I know the carriage moves slowly, but you don't know, Mr. Ning, that Zhou An disappeared in the Midnight Pavilion together with the eighty killers in the afternoon. I don't know whether he went to the capital or where he went.

"

Where else to go.

Of course, I want to overtake in corners and make a surprise attack from a distance.

Just because Zhou An was able to let the Ye family set up an ambush in Liujiazhuang, it led to such an almost unsolvable dead end.

Ning Wuhuang had never underestimated Zhou An's brain.

Although this person has a violent temper, he still has the city in his heart. If he is not smart, he will not be loved by the old emperor.

so.

He arranged many details.

And prepared the best place for Zhou An to attack.

If nothing else, Zhou An is now riding on horseback, slowly riding towards the official road of Lai'an County.

"Mr. Ning seems not surprised by Zhou An's departure."

Zhou Jingxian is not a question, but a statement.

She always felt a sense of contradiction when she saw that Ning Wuyan was so calm about Zhou An's early departure, yet he had prepared so much manpower and material resources for the escort.

Is Mr. Ning worried about Zhou An taking action, or is he not worried?

"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in the sky, and the legs are on Zhou An's body but not mine. Am I unexpectedly useful? I can only choose defense. Anyway, the road is smooth, and it won't take long to reach the capital."

Ning Wuyan's open-mindedness made Zhou Jingxian, who had lost control of Zhou An's whereabouts, breathe a sigh of relief.

yes.

The legs were on Zhou An's body, so she should have disabled them earlier so that he couldn't run away.

It's too late to say anything now.

"Princess Xian, if you are really in danger, you have to protect yourself, because if someone really doesn't want to take the overall situation into consideration and takes action against me, he will definitely stop at nothing."

Before leaving.

Ning Wuhuang decided to dig another psychological trap.

Zhou Jingxian glanced at the carriage that was being brought, cupped her fists and bowed.

"I will protect Mr. Ning as closely as I did in Youchu. I will never let anyone hurt Mr. Ning."

"Thank you."

Ning Wushan was about to get in the car.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

"Mr. Ning, don't you take me with you when you ride a horse or take me in a car?"

It was Shen Youchu who came trotting over with a baggage in his hands, making a show of jumping onto the carriage.

Zhou Jingxian hurriedly opened her arms to stop the person.

"Youchu, we are not here to play."

If it weren't for the tobacco issue and others didn't know the inside story, and she had to report her departure from Jinling, Zhou Jingxian wouldn't want Ning Wu to take the risk.

Not to mention taking Shen Youchu on this trip.

Just like what I just said, it would be fine if Zhou An didn't take action. If he did, it would be a fight to the death.

Taking Shen Youchu with her will only make it difficult for her to take care of herself.

"I know you are not here for fun, so I can go with Mr. Ning and send someone to protect Mr. Ning secretly!"

Shen Youchu said it righteously and confidently.

It’s not like she’s here to hold you back!

She wants Mr. Baoning to be safe and sound!

"Youchu..."

Zhou Jingxian wanted to persuade her again, but her arm was lightly tapped from behind.

She didn't put down her arms, but looked at Ning Wuyan who motioned for her to get out of the way, and blurted out.
Chapter completed!
