When King An was about to go out for battle, Mingwei and Ning Xiu left the city together.
They did not travel with the army, they only took Duofu with them.
Xuanfei naturally stayed in the army. He traveled in the name of protecting King An, so of course he couldn't leave King An and run away.
As long as Mingwei was still in good spirits, he would immerse himself in the journey. For several days, the Jiangyang camp was in sight.
This is the closest place to Nanchu. The soldiers of the two countries can even see each other's ships across the river.
The two of them found a private house to live temporarily, not far from the river, so they could keep an eye on the situation at any time.
Duofu made the bed, and Ning Xiu came over and took the firewood from Mingwei's hand.
"gentlemen?"
Ning Xiu tied up his sleeves and started to light the fire: "I will do these things, you go and rest."
"But……"
Although Mingwei had no choice but to call Ning Xiu "Master" to such a young man, he still respected him as an elder. There was no reason to sit back and eat when walking with elders.
Ning Xiu said: "As you are now, don't be brave."
"But I'm not very sleepy yet..."
"Then let's sit and talk." Ning Xiu raised his chin, "It's still early to eat, so you should eat some snacks first."
Mingwei obeyed and obeyed.
Then she sat at the dinner table, propped up her chin, and looked at Ning Xiu with a smile.
Ning Xiu glanced at her: "What are you laughing at?"
Mingwei said: "Master once told me that my master has extraordinary bearing, free and easy manner, just like the banished immortal. I never thought that the banished immortal would chop wood and make fire like a mortal."
Ning Xiu usually wears wide robes and long sleeves, so he is not dressed for work.
Ning Xiu didn't take it seriously: "It's common for you to travel around the world and sleep in the wilderness. It's the same for you. Don't you know that being free and easy is for others to see?"
Mingwei looked at his tied sleeves, then looked at her own, and laughed.
Her clothes are not much better than Ning Xiu's.
So, are they pretending to be a grandfather-grandson duo?
Suddenly I felt that the image of my master had collapsed in my heart!
Ning Xiu asked her: "By the way, who do you think your master is?"
Mingwei stopped smiling and said, "His name is Ming Zheng. He is now...more than three years old."
"Oh, is he your fourth brother's son?"
"Um."
"How did I take him in?"
Mingwei recalled the past and said: "Sir, in your last life, you only received the command talisman a few years later. The Ming family was involved in the rebellion of Prince Qidong, and the family was ruined. At that time, my master was only in his early ten years and was living in exile.
Jianghu, became an orphan."
Ning Xiu nodded: "If you can ask me to accept him, he seems to have good qualifications."
Ming smiled and said: "This is natural. When the master received the Master's Talisman, he was too damaged, so he could not fully understand its secrets. It is in the hands of the Master that the Master's name can be restored to its former glory."
Ning Xiu frowned: "You have changed his fate. Although he is no longer a famous son in this life, he will no longer be homeless. Will this affect his character?"
"I don't know." Mingwei said, "But I believe Master can."
Ning Xiu thought for a while: "That's fine, I will go and see him when he is ten years old."
The water was boiled and the three of them washed up.
Then they had a simple dinner and went to rest.
…
There is no moon tonight, but the stars are bright.
On the other side of the river, someone was looking over here.
"What is the Second Young Master Tang thinking about?" Mingxiao walked over with his hands in his arms, "You look like he is really full of things."
Tang Shao stood on the slope, looking at the river tide under the night, with a serious look on his face.
Hearing the sound, his eyes only moved and he did not look back.
Mingxiao walked up to him and stood next to him: "You're not thinking that my good senior sister has already arrived, right?"
Tang Shao finally glanced at him: "She doesn't seem to recognize that you are her junior brother."
"What does it matter whether she admits it or not? The fact is the fact."
Tang Shao looked at her for a while and then asked: "What is the relationship between you and her? The same inheritance, the same surname, and they are full of hostility towards each other."
Mingxiao smiled, folded his sleeves and sat down on the stone next to him: "If I don't explain this issue clearly, Mr. Tang will always keep it in mind!"
Tang Shao looked at him coldly and did not answer anything.
"Okay! Let me tell you this." Mingxiao said with his legs crossed and his chin propped up on his elbows, "There is such a tree. It may have several branches, but it will only bear one fruit. It once bore one
The fruit, this is her. And I am another fruit it produced under another chance. So we two should have been the same fruit, and only one of us is allowed to exist."
"So, there is you without her, there is her without you?"
"That's understandable." Mingxiao smiled half-heartedly, "Second Young Master Tang knows, but don't harm me because of her."
Tang Shao said coldly: "There is no reason, why should I harm you?"
"Maybe you just want her to live?" Mingxiao spread her hands.
"Are you asking for a guarantee from me?"
Mingxiao smiled and was very considerate: "My senior sister is very different from the women in the world. She has outstanding natural charm. The Second Young Master Tang will never forget her. I understand it very well."
Not only did he understand, his tone was even somewhat proud.
"However, there is no room for error in this matter, otherwise there will be no room for error. Can Mr. Tang understand that?"
Tang Shao said indifferently: "Where can I find a place now? If I don't succeed, the Tang family will be wiped out in a blink of an eye."
Mingxiao was very pleased: "As long as you understand."
Tang Shao asked back: "What about you? It's not your end. Do you want someone to support you?"
After all, Emperor Tiancheng had the Green Dragon Seal in his hand, so why not just replace him if they said he should? Tang Shao really had no confidence in the integrity of these two people.
Mingxiao said: "To be honest, I really want to change someone. But the person I like is unwilling to obey! The Qinglong Seal was claimed by that loser. I was already ready to go to the North. How could I know that I would go there?"
Halfway through, I heard that the person I was optimistic about ran away. This is great, among the remaining people, you are the only one who is most suitable."
Tang Shao twitched his lips: "The one you fell in love with later was Hu Lord Sutu?"
"I'm not fancy yet." Mingxiao said, "I just want to explore the Northland. He was not the best candidate originally. If possible, of course I would choose between Qi and Chu. But he has the blood of the Chen family, so reluctantly
He is considered a native of the Central Plains, so his choice is not satisfactory. Oh, come to think of it, you are still relatives."
Tang Shao said indifferently: "You people are really boring. You are choosing here and there, but you are not looking at blood. If you had not chosen the Jiang family in the early years, you would have succeeded long ago."
Mingxiao said: "I am not the one who has the idea of blood connection. When the Star Palace fell apart, there was indeed this reason. But the most fundamental thing is that the Jiang family is not in line with our goals, especially that Qi Taizu."
"Oh?" Tang Shao's heart moved, "What is your goal?"
Mingxiao smiled faintly and stood up: "It's getting late, Second Young Master, you'd better rest early." (To be continued)
