Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

It was Xiao Linfeng. He had rushed back from Jiangnan, exhausted, and finally caught up.

Ning Zhiwei frowned slightly, "Has the situation in Jiangnan been resolved?"

The noble families in Jiangnan have gone crazy. Assassinations are happening one after another. They just want to keep Xiao Linfeng in Jiangnan forever.

How could he run back at this critical moment?

Isn't this a mess? If Jiangnan is unstable, Dayong will be attacked from all sides.

Xiao Linfeng raised his head and said, "Not yet. I asked Xie Tongcheng to take over. As long as you follow the path I arranged, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Besides, with Lord Rong personally presiding over the matter, I believe that Jiangnan will not be in turmoil."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Rong Jing, who was standing aside. Rong Jing's expression remained unchanged. "Your subordinates are scattered all over the place, so you must have one or two capable fighters around you. Lord Xiao is highly skilled in martial arts and has rich experience in dealing with demons and monsters. He can make up for Mr. Zhou's shortcomings in this regard."

Xiao Linfeng was the commander of the Jinyiwei of the previous dynasty, responsible for monitoring, arresting, interrogating, intelligence gathering, etc.

Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised. They had never been on good terms with each other, so why was he helping out?

"You asked him to come back?"

Rong Jing's expression was somewhat complicated, "Yes."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him deeply, then turned to look at Xiao Linfeng, "Get up.

"Let's go." Ning Zhiwei gave an order and the soldiers rushed to the battlefield.

Ning Zhiwei looked at everyone, nodded slightly, then jumped on his horse, whipped the horsewhip and set off.

Just as Xiao Linfeng was about to follow, Rong Jing's cold voice came from behind him, "Protect her well. Her life is the most important thing in this world."

Xiao Linfeng didn't even turn his head and waved his hand, "If she lives, I live. If she dies, I die."

Rong Jing's anger suddenly rose up, "Get lost."

The army set out in a mighty manner. Rong Jing looked at Ning Zhiwei's receding figure, his eyes full of worry.

Ning Wenyin also looked at Mr. Zhou's back reluctantly as he disappeared from her sight. "Lord Rong, don't worry. The emperor is blessed with great fortune and will definitely return safely."

"You have to know that she is a talented general trained by the God of War. No one in the world can match her."

Rong Jing was worried, "She is good in every way, but she is too sentimental."

Ning Wenyin's heart moved, "Are you worried about... that Jin general? General Black Hawk?"

"Correct."

“Sometimes, being soft on your enemies is being cruel to yourself.”

"We have to believe in her. She has come through so much."

The army marched along in a mighty manner, attracting the attention of countless people, and causing panic wherever it went.

Some local officials requested to see Ning Zhiwei, but were rejected. They hurried on their way, trying to reach the border as quickly as possible.

However, there were too many soldiers and the movement was somewhat slow.

No one knew that on the third day Ning Zhiwei quietly left the army. He rode non-stop, taking turns to change horses to rest, and marched day and night. This speed was twice as fast as the army.

The Imperial Guards accompanied them on one side, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were responsible for exploring the way ahead, and Xiao Linfeng led his men to guard behind to ensure safety along the way.

Ning Zhiwei always rested in the carriage. The road to the northwest was rugged and it was not comfortable to sit in the carriage.

She secretly vowed that she would repair this road after pacifying the world.

"Your Majesty, it's going to rain. We need to find a place to hide."

"There is an inn about ten miles ahead where you can take shelter from the rain."

“Full speed ahead.”

The Imperial Guards arrived early to clear the area, drove all the guests and the boss's staff to the guest rooms upstairs, occupied the first floor and the entire lobby, and checked every place.

After ensuring safety, the lobby door was removed to allow the specially made carriage to enter.

The carriage opened and Ning Xinzhe was the first to jump out. He turned around and helped Ning Zhiwei and Shaoyao down.

Ning Zhiwei glanced around, moved his hands and feet, and jumped a few times to stretch his muscles.

A Jinyiwei came over and reported, "Miss, the hot food is ready and the room is decorated. You can rest after you eat."

Ning Zhiwei nodded, holding Shaoyao in one hand and Ning Xinzhe in the other, and sat at the dining table.

This is the meal prepared by the Jinyiwei themselves, and they also prepared the ingredients themselves, mainly for safety reasons.

Chicken stewed in an iron pot is simple and delicious. Ning Xinzhe takes a bite of pancake and a bite of stewed chicken, and the food tastes especially delicious.

Ning Zhiwei ate two full bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks. When he was on the road, he just ate a little bit in the carriage, so he wasn't so particular.

She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the strong wind and heavy rain outside, and frowned slightly.

"It's raining so hard, I don't know if it will stop tomorrow."

Xiao Linfeng has already arrived at the inn. "If you can't leave, just rest here for two days. No matter how urgent it is, you can't travel in the heavy rain. It's too dangerous."

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "We used to travel in the rain."

Xiao Linfeng advised softly, "The past was the past, and now is now. Things are different. Your safety is the most important thing in everything."

Ning Zhiwei listened to the advice and nodded, "Okay, I'll go rest first."

After taking two steps, he heard a noise outside the door. Ning Zhi frowned slightly. What was going on?

Jinyiwei came to report, "Miss, a caravan came to take shelter from the rain, but we refused to let them in, and they are making a lot of noise."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the heavy rain and said, "Go check the other party's background. If there is no problem, let them go to the second floor to rest. This rain will not stop for a while."

"Yes."

Xiao Linfeng was worried and offered, "I'll go take a look."

After a while, he came back, "It's Bai Zhanyang, the eldest son of the Bai family."

Ning Zhiwei raised her eyebrows. Was this an accident? Or did the news leak out?

Seeing the tired look between his brows, Xiao Linfeng said softly, "You go and rest, I'll take care of it."

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly, and took Shaoyao and Ning Xinzhe back to the room to rest.

The room on the first floor was not big, but it was big enough for three people. Ning Zhiwei and Shaoyao slept on the bed, and Ning Xinzhe slept on a couch.

The next day, Ning Zhiwei looked outside and it was still raining heavily.

She got up, washed, and went to the lobby to eat breakfast. Just as she took a bite of the pancake, a shocked voice suddenly rang out, "Huang...Huang..."

It was Bai Zhanyang. He was standing on the second floor, looking at Ning Zhiwei in shock.

Xiao Linfeng looked at him coldly, his hand on the weapon at his waist.

Ning Zhiwei's heart moved, "Come here."

Bai Zhanyang was pulled down by Xiao Linfeng. He looked like a fool, motionless. Xiao Linfeng urged impatiently, "This is my eldest daughter. Come and greet her."

Bai Zhanyang saluted with both hands and feet, "Meet the young lady."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Bai Zhanyang came back to his senses and said carefully, "Our Bai family intends to open up new markets. I heard that the Silk Road is full of gold, and the northwest is the only way to go. We have established a connection with the Zeng family in the northwest and want to cooperate, so I came here."

Ning Zhiwei thought for a moment, was he frightened by the bloodshed in Jiangnan? Was he trying to leave a way out?

"Which Zeng family?"

"That kind-hearted family, the Zeng family."

Ning Zhiwei suddenly remembered that she had written a plaque for the one who presented her with a gift, "A Family of Good Deeds." "The head of the Zeng family is Zeng Qinglin, right?"

"It was before, but now the Zeng family has some problems, and his brother Zeng Qingjie has taken over."

Ning Zhiwei asked one more question, "What's the problem?"

"This..." Bai Zhanyang looked embarrassed.

Xiao Linfeng shouted coldly, "Speak."

Bai Zhanyang was particularly afraid of him. "It is said that the Zeng family has contacts with General Black Hawk of the Jin Kingdom..."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes. General Black Hawk was the commander-in-chief of the Jin army this time, the mysterious general who appeared out of nowhere and wore a black eagle mask.
