Lin Ziyi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Ning, you have come forward!"
Xia Jin was stunned. Lin Ziyi called him Uncle Ning, and also used the word "you"?
Isn't Ning Zhaoping a rebellious minister? But Lin Ziyi called him this way, which shows that they were familiar with each other before!
Ning Zhaoping made an invitation gesture, "Sit down, this is the tea I grew. I picked it during the Qingming Festival. I roasted it over a slow fire and then kneaded and stir-fried it. Although it is not as good as the famous tea, it is the most mellow and natural."
Lin Ziyi sat on the futon in front of the low table. He held up the tea cup with one hand and opened the tea lid with the other hand to brush away the tea leaves floating on the tea cup. The tea soup was green and had a pleasant aroma!
Lin Ziyi blew in the hot air and took a small peck.
"How?" Ning Zhaoping looked expectant. He didn't care if his city was lost. Instead, he cared more about the fragrance of Lin Ziyi's tea.
"Good tea!" Lin Ziyi put down the tea cup.
Ning Zhaoping stroked his beard and laughed, "You are just like your father. When tasting tea, you can only say 'good tea'!"
"You were my father's lieutenant. After my father passed away, you were assigned here. It's Ziyi's fault that I haven't come to see you for so many years!"
Ning Zhaoping waved his hand, "Since the old general has passed away, we old guys have no value in existing!"
Speaking of this, Ning Zhaoping looked sad.
"Ten years ago, there was a plague in Lincheng. I was sent here, but I was blocked here. Fortunately, making tea accidentally solved the plague. I wanted to return to the court, but I was charged with conspiracy and rebellion!"
"Hey, I can't argue even if I want to go out!"
"Those traitors just want to trap me here to death, and then cover up the crimes they committed back then!"
"Fortunately, I have been waiting for many years and finally Ziyi is here!" Ning Zhaoping said excitedly.
"Uncle Ning, you have suffered!" Lin Ziyi said seriously.
The more Xia Jin listened, the more confused she became. What on earth is going on?
Turning around and seeing Mu Gu waiting outside, Xia Jin walked over and asked, "Mu Gu, have you known each other before, General and Lord Ning?"
Mu Gu nodded and explained: "Cheng Lord Ning used to be the deputy general of the old general. Later, the old general died in the battlefield and the military power was weakened. As the deputy general, Ning City Lord was sent to Lincheng to provide disaster relief. Unexpectedly, he discovered when he came here that there was a plague here.
break out!
City Lord Ning could have left, but he couldn't bear to see them set fire to the city and stayed. However, after he controlled the plague, he found that he was accused of treason and traitor.
Over the years, City Lord Ning has worked hard just to wait for someone who can do justice to him!"
"If you want to uphold justice, why do you want the general to attack the city?" Xia Jin looked at Mu Gu.
"You have to put on a good show, otherwise it will arouse suspicion and give them a reason to complain in front of the emperor! So the whole show has to be done! Speaking of which, thanks to the princess, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly!" Mu Gu said with a smile.
.
Xia Jin blinked and looked at the two people talking inside.
"It looks like City Lord Ning is planning to return to the capital with Lin Ziyi?"
"Well, I have to go back!"
Xia Jin understood what he meant, and she guessed something in her mind, "Isn't the matter of City Lord Ning being wronged related to Qu Cheng related?"
"Exactly!"
"Princess, please go and have a rest. If you are bored, go for a walk in the city. The general and Lord Ning will reminisce about old times and will probably have to chat for a while!" Mu Gu said.
"By the way, isn't the princess interested in ores? There is an open-pit mine to the west of Ningcheng, but it has not been mined because Ningcheng has been closed for a long time. The princess should go and have a look, maybe there will be some gains!"
