In Lu Ningxiang's new round of description, Jiang Beiran didn't know whether to call her naive in a tactful way or call her stupid directly.
According to Lu Ningxiang, the nanny watched her grow up and gave her the most care.
But none of this matters.
She actually believed that a wet nurse could figure out a way to get her out of the palace, even though she emphasized twice that her wet nurse had always been well-connected in the palace.
But the question is, in this palace now, where is the palace in the past?
Princess, times have changed.
Back then you were still a high-ranking princess in the palace, but now you are just a prisoner under house arrest. How can you compare?
But no matter how Jiang Beiran complained, Lu Ningxiang believed in all this. She believed that the nanny risked her life to send her out of the palace, until that day Jiang Beiran told her that there was something wrong with the sachet she was wearing.
It can be said that Lu Ningxiang still doesn't want to believe that this sachet is the reason why someone has been able to find her, but the fact is that after the sachet was taken away, her whereabouts were never so easy to find again.
The reason why she didn't want to believe it was naturally because the nanny gave her this sachet before she left, saying it was from the temple and would keep her safe.
While talking about these, Lu Ningxiang's mood has been very low, because even the person she trusts most in the world has lied to her, so who should she trust in the future...
"So your wet nurse also knows that you know where your father's treasure trove is?"
Lu Ningxiang was silent for a moment before replying: "Yes, so when the sachet was taken away by you, sir, I knew why I was the only one who could escape from the palace. They just wanted me to help them find my father's treasure house.
It’s just the location.”
Jiang Beiran shook his head after hearing this: "You also think too low of your uncles and aunts."
Lu Ningxiang blinked after hearing this and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it...isn't it?"
After throwing some herbs into the boiling pot, Jiang Beiran put the lid back on the pot and said, "How strict do you think your mouth can be?"
Lu Ningxiang, who understood the meaning of her husband's words, clenched her fists and said, "Although the sect has completely changed... they will not torture me severely."
"It is true that they may not be able to use their hands now, but when everything settles, do you think they will still be so gentle to you? And if you want to get words out of you, it will take more than torture.
It can be used."
"Then...then why did they release me?"
"There can be many reasons. First of all, your father just disappeared, right?"
After hearing this, Lu Ningxiang's expression darkened a lot, "Although he is missing, I feel that if my father is alive, he will not leave us alone."
The implication of Lu Ningxiang's words was very simple. Although she said that her father was missing, she already believed in her heart that something must have happened to him.
"Sigh." Jiang Beiran slapped his forehead, "I said you can't just miss your father?"
After hearing this, Lu Ningxiang subconsciously wanted to retort a few more words, but she quickly raised her head in surprise and said, "Sir, do you think my father is not dead yet?"
"If your father really dies, do you think your family can still be under house arrest in the palace so safely?"
"This..." Lu Ningxiang didn't know how to answer for a while, but then she added: "But since my brother ascended the throne, many people in the sect have shown that they want to get rid of him..."
Before Lu Ningxiang could finish speaking, Jiang Beiran interrupted her and said, "Then is your brother still sitting on the throne?"
"Um."
"That's right. Even after you said it, they only dare to think about it and don't actually take action. So why do you think they don't dare to take action?"
Lu Ningxiang's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this: "Because they are not sure whether my father is dead yet!"
"Well, at least I'm not stupid enough."
"I..." Lu Ningxiang, who was called stupid, wanted to refute, but when she thought that she didn't even understand such a simple truth, she lowered her head again. However, when she thought that her father might not be dead, her mood suddenly changed.
Much better.
At this time, Jiang Beiran opened the lid of the pot, scooped out a bowl of darkened medicinal soup and handed it to Lu Ningxiang: "Drink this bowl of medicine. Your current physical condition is still very bad."
The reason why Jiang Beiran wanted to help Lu Ningxiang was not only because he thought it was the system's choice, but also because this princess did have a very kind heart.
Her physical condition was so bad that she couldn't survive it in a day or two. She had probably been hiding in the mountains for a week, but in such a desperate situation, she still endured until she couldn't stand it any longer.
Only then did he ask for help.
This was just like the last time she left quietly late at night. If possible, the princess really didn't want to involve him in this trouble that would probably break him into pieces.
"Thank you." After taking the medicinal soup handed over by her husband, Lu Ningxiang took a sip, and then her brows suddenly came together.
She had been most afraid of taking medicine since she was a child. Every time, the nanny would take turns with more than a dozen maids to coax her. But now, recalling those original warm scenes, Lu Ningxiang didn't smile at all.
She took a deep breath and drank the whole bowl of medicinal soup in one fell swoop.
The medicine was still so bitter, but it was nothing compared to what she had experienced during this period.
"Thank you sir." Lu Ningxiang said as she handed the bowl back to her husband.
Taking the bowl, Jiang Beiran continued the question just now and said: "The reason why they let you out should be several. One of them is that you find your father's treasure house, but for them this should be dispensable.
One purpose is that they really want to see if your family has made any backup preparations for such a situation."
"Backup... preparation?" Lu Ningxiang asked with some confusion.
"As you said, your father has been on the throne for sixteen years, so it is normal for you to make some back-up preparations in case something happens to you, so your uncles and uncles probably want to see the existence of such back-up preparations from you first.
Doesn’t exist.”
"But looking at you now, there shouldn't be any back-up preparations."
"Indeed not..." Lu Ningxiang shook her head.
"Then the next step is to use you to fish out your father. People in your sect probably think that your father is still hiding in the dark, so they want to see if they can use you as bait to fish him out.
.”
"But it turns out that they didn't succeed in this way. There are many other possibilities, but after I tampered with your sachet, they couldn't realize it."
"Sir...then what should I do now?"
Although Lu Ningxiang knew the reason why she was able to escape, it didn't mean much to her. What she needed now was a way, a way to save all her family members.
what to do?
Jiang Beiran naturally couldn't help her by himself, after all, he didn't intend to go against the strongest sect in the entire country.
Besides himself, Jiang Beiran's only other option was to find Yan Guangqing. No matter how strong or weak he was, there was only one local snake in the country he knew.
'But such a hot potato... Is Yan Guangqing willing to take it?'
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran decided that he didn't want to. Anyway, he had no other choice, so he might as well ask directly.
So he took out the talisman paper and wrote a greeting note, folded it into a paper kite and let it fly.
Jiang Beiran did not mention Lu Ningxiang in the greeting note. After all, it was better to talk about such a big matter in person.
Not long after, a paper kite flew back to Jiang Beiran's hand. It was sent to him by Sect Leader Yan. There were not many words on it, but the attitude was indeed extremely warm. There was a word "Warm Welcome" highlighted on the whole paper.
This made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but recall a classmate who looked forward to going to his house to play games every weekend.
After all, how can one person be happier than two people playing games?
And now Yan Guangqing is like an Internet-addicted teenager waiting for a "playmate". He is extremely looking forward to Jiang Beiran going to study the formation with him again.
Putting the letter paper into the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran first took some dry food and water from the Qiankun Ring and placed it next to the campfire. Then he said to Lu Ningxiang: "This cave is very safe. Just stay here while I go out."
Then, before Lu Ningxiang could ask any questions, Jiang Beiran disappeared.
"Why!"
Lu Ningxiang stood up and tried to grab it, but missed.
Withdrawing her hand, Lu Ningxiang looked at the cave that had become empty again but much warmer. She sat back in front of the bonfire again, closed her eyes and prayed.
On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who returned to Fei Mansion, flew in the direction of Qian Tianzong.
The so-called plan could not keep up with the changes. Jiang Beiran originally planned to stay in Zeng State to investigate the alien beast base camp in the ancient ruins, and also make arrangements for Qu Yangze. But just as he was about to set off, he received a distress signal from Lu Ningxiang.
After learning about Lu Ningxiang's situation, Jiang Beiran also knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer, so he took Qu Yangze with him back to the country.
In addition, I have to say that if Shi Fenglan's Feifu was not here, he really wouldn't be able to come and go so freely.
Before the cup of tea arrived, Fei Fu had already stopped in the sky above Qian Tianzong.
After completing the routine reporting, Jiang Beiran and Xia Lingdang successfully arrived at Panling Peak where the sect master's mansion was located.
Before Jiang Beiran walked into the front hall, he heard Yan Guangqing's happy voice.
"Bei Ran, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Asking Xia Lingdang to stand at the door and wait for orders, Jiang Beiran crossed the threshold and walked into the hall. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Sect Leader Yan."
"You and I don't have to be polite. Why did you stay away for so long this time? If you don't write a letter, I'm going to rush you."
"There are some important things that need to be done. Thank you, Sect Master Yan, for your concern."
"That's true. I really miss you. Come on, let's talk inside." After Yan Guangqing finished speaking, he was about to walk into the inner hall.
"Sect Master Yan, please wait a moment. This junior is here today because he has something important to discuss with you."
Hearing Jiang Beiran's serious tone, Yan Guangqing turned around silently and sat back in his original seat.
"Tell me what makes you so serious."
Arching his hands towards Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran said: "According to the agreement that I made with Sect Leader Yan last time, as long as I can help you build a bridge with the Shi family, you will help me act as a lobbyist to make Sheng and Yu become allies.
"
"Well, I did say that." Yan Guangqing nodded, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Have you made arrangements?"
"It is already under preparation, but now I have a question that I would like to ask Sect Leader Yan for advice."
"explain."
"Junior, I heard that the Wuya Sect, the largest in the country, seems to have split?"
"Oh?" Yan Guangqing looked at Jiang Beiran thoughtfully after hearing this, "It seems that you have indeed investigated my country seriously. Yes, there is such a thing. What do you want to express?"
"What this junior means is that the country is in such chaos right now, can you still be this lobbyist?"
After stroking his beard twice, Yan Guangqing suddenly looked outside the door, and then asked: "Bei Ran, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush in front of me."
"Sect Leader Yan, you'd better let me go around it. I really can't say this directly, otherwise it will be bad for you and the younger generation."
When Yan Guangqing heard this, he stood up and came to Jiang Beiran, looked him up and said, "You won't get involved in anything that shouldn't be involved, right?"
"It's true that I accidentally got into some big trouble."
"Hiss..." Yan Guangqing stroked his beard again, as if he had guessed something, but he did not say it clearly, but nodded and said: "Okay, then I will accompany you around. You just asked me if you can still take it as such.
Yes, of course you can, Wuya Sect’s current turmoil is quite big, but as long as it’s a turmoil, it will eventually subside one day, right?”
"That's natural. It's just that I know almost nothing about the country. I don't understand how big the turmoil caused by Wuya Sect is. I wonder if Sect Leader Yan can clear up my doubts for this junior?"
"I would advise you not to inquire too much if you are too specific. There is only one thing I can tell you, and that is that this storm will definitely be big enough to change the entire pattern of the country."
'The pattern of this country...'
If you savor this sentence carefully, it is not difficult to appreciate that Yan Guangqing's words imply that he will also be involved in this turmoil.
However, Qian Tian Sect is one of the top sects in the country, so it is strange that it is not affected.
But how Qian Tianzong will be involved in Jiang Beiran can only be guessed.
Is it that Yan Guangqing has already taken sides in the Wu Ya Sect's split, or will he rely on this storm to rise to power and bury the Wu Ya Sect in the dust of history?
But no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to Jiang Beiran. As long as Yan Guangqing is willing to join in this turmoil, then Lu Ningxiang is not necessarily a hot potato for him.
It may even become an important bargaining chip.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Yan, for informing me. I understand."
After hearing this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Yan Guangqing's eyes. He stared at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Isn't it you who want to take a share of this chaos? I would advise you not to do so. The water is deep here."
It’s very strange, even if you are a guest of the Shi family, you will still be treated as an outcast."
Yan Guangqing's words had a strong warning meaning, but besides warning, Jiang Beiran also heard something else.
'The water is so deep that even the Xuansheng family dare not...or do you mean they don't want to intervene?'
