After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

She went to Qi Yu's house instead and found that Qi Yu was not there.

Zhong Ning seemed to have thought of something, and then turned to another secret place where Qi Yu was in the capital.

Qi Yu had brought her to this place once before and shared this secret base with her.

If one day she encounters difficulties and wants to hide herself but has nowhere to go, this is where she can hide.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this one was prepared for her by Qi Yu.

After all, she was brought to the capital by Qi Yu, so he naturally knew that she had no other means of self-protection. Qi Yu was also telling her that if such a day really came in the future, he would use his life and property to protect her.

Zhong Ning flew into the mansion and found that it was guarded by secret guards, but he did not see Qi Yu. When he was about to leave, he was bumped into by Qi Yu who suddenly came back.

It was late at night and she was wearing a black nightgown.

Qi Yu thought she was just an assassin and started fighting right away.

Every move is fierce and hits the vital points.

But in the eyes of Zhong Ning, who is now a ninth-rank cultivator, those moves that could previously hold her hostage now seem very slow, and she easily avoided them.

As she turned around, she thought of the scene when they first met. She touched him again in the same place and said in a coquettish voice, "It feels good, Master Qi!"

Qi Yu:........

Qi Yu stood in the darkness, his body pausing slightly. With a wave of his hand, the candle on the candlestick was instantly lit, and the whole room was lit up.

Zhong Ning, wrapped in all black and with a slim figure, was exposed right in front of him.

Qi Yu's eyes trembled slightly, his pupils shrank slightly, he took a step forward, and tremblingly gently removed the black scarf on Zhong Ning's face.

A big hand caressed the face that I had been thinking about day and night.

Then he pulled the person into his arms.

"It's a good thing you came," Qi Yu said in a trembling voice, "If you were a moment later, we would have missed each other!"

"What does this mean?" Zhong Ning said in a muffled voice while being held in someone's arms.

"I was just about to look for you. His Majesty had already foreshadowed it before he fell into a coma, and ordered me to hide two things in advance. I must find a chance to hand them over to you!" Qi Yu said this, pushed the person away slightly, and then took out a black square package from the wall mechanism behind his bed frame.

The package was opened layer by layer, and a golden square box appeared before his eyes. When the box was opened, the carefully protected object inside was revealed - the imperial seal!

"This, this is..." Zhong Ning looked at the jade seal in the box, somewhat incredulous!

In addition to the imperial seal, there was also a yellow scroll.

On the yellow scroll was the secret decree written by Emperor Yong himself.

"Two days ago, I was transferred out of the capital under the guise of the Black Dragon Guards carrying out a secret mission for His Majesty. I was able to maintain my basic strength, and I also stole the Second Prince and transported him out. This delayed my meeting with you. Do you blame me?"

Qi Yu whispered, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes, which showed that he had not been able to rest for a moment in the past two days.

Zhong Ning shook his head, took his hand and said soothingly:

"I don't blame you. The situation in the capital has changed suddenly, and you need to make many plans. I have the ability to protect myself, so you don't need to worry! But why did the emperor let you give me this jade seal?"

"His Majesty once said that among all his children, you are the one he loves the most. If you were not a woman, he would even want to pass the throne to you. In these troubled times, only you can stabilize the situation."

Qi Yu then sat Zhong Ning on the phoenix couch, then half-knelt in front of Zhong Ning, leaned forward slightly, half-embraced him, and continued, "His Majesty has handed over the Jade Seal and the Second Prince to you, and also entrusted the future of Dayong to you."

"Now, with the support of the Queen Mother, Prince Cheng has taken control of the entire capital. Even the Imperial Guards have to obey the Queen Mother's orders."

"So, at the moment, we have no other forces besides the 300 Black Dragon Guards outside the city and the 100 Imperial Guards you currently have. If we want to counter Prince Cheng and the Queen Mother, we not only need manpower, but also the support of the court officials."

"Your Majesty has suddenly fallen into a coma, and all the court officials can only obey the Queen Mother's orders. Prime Minister Gu has already taken sick leave and refused to attend court. Many other gentlemen have also taken sick leave and apologized."

"These people are our chance!"

Zhong Ning was silent for a moment, and suddenly it occurred to him that there was actually another place where there were also soldiers.

That was on the imperial farm not far outside the city. When Lu Xingzhou developed firearms, Emperor Yong later specially dispatched a thousand imperial guards to guard here!

Then he took out a short whistle from his sleeve, and as three short and one long notes played, Xue Ming suddenly jumped in from the window.

"Your subordinate greets the princess!" Xue Ming half-knelt on the ground and listened quietly to the orders.

Zhong Ning pulled out a token from his sleeve and threw it over. "Take the token to the imperial farm and tell Feng Xin to have Lu Xingzhou bring 500 imperial guards and firearms to the capital before noon tomorrow!"

"Tell him that there's an incident in the capital and rescue is urgently needed. Take this token and enter the capital immediately!"

Xue Ming took the token and replied in a deep voice, "I obey your orders!"

After saying that, Xue Ming flew away.

"Where is the second prince?" Zhong Ning asked. At this moment, Zhong Ning seemed to have returned to his rational and cold-blooded self.

Qi Yu admired her rationality, but was also heartbroken that she was too rational.

Only when he occasionally stepped forward and held her in his arms, and watched her get extremely angry and bite his lips, would he feel the vitality of the person in front of him.

After leaving the bedroom, the two of them went behind a rockery in a small garden.

The rockery is a rockery, but it is not just a rockery. By twisting the mechanism button hidden in the rockery, several rockery will immediately move around, revealing a stone door hidden deep in the rockery.

There was a palm print on the stone gate. Qi Yu placed his hand on it, and then a stream of internal force flowed into the stone gate along the hand print. After a while, the stone gate slowly opened, revealing a dark area extending from inside.

With another wave of his hand, the candle embedded in the stone wall was lit. Zhong Ning followed Qi Yu down the stairs and walked into a small maze.

Although the area here is not large, Zhong Ning feels that it is extremely dangerous. He even feels like he is in the underground city where Yin Zhong placed the blood mang in "Water Moon Cave".

"This place is connected to the Black Dragon Guard's secret prison. There are also several lounges. The second prince is staying here." Qi Yu explained while pulling Zhong Ning's hand and moving forward carefully.

Until we entered a room at the end of the secret passage, we saw the second prince Murong Yun sitting at the desk reviewing his lessons.

"Xiao Yun'er..." Zhong Ning said. Murong Yun immediately turned around. The moment he saw Zhong Ning appear, his nose felt sore and tears immediately flowed down.

He pursed his lips, looked at Zhong Ning with tears in his eyes, and threw himself directly into Zhong Ning's arms, his voice muffled, "Imperial sister... something happened to our father... wuwuwu..."

Zhong Ning patted his back and kept comforting him: "It's okay, the emperor is still here, don't be afraid..."
