Chapter 146 Stop and Check
Ning Zhiwei turned around, looking extremely serious, "Come with me."
Rong Jing shook his head without hesitation, "I want to see my mother off to her final journey. This is my responsibility as a son."
His mother loved him very much and even died for him. Before her death, she put all her efforts into arranging a marriage for him and paving the way for his future.
He had no time to repay such a great favor.
"But..." Ning Zhiwei hesitated and wanted to persuade him, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
If possible, she also wanted to stay and attend the funeral of the eldest princess. The eldest princess was a great woman, a proud and steadfast woman, who deserved her respect.
However, she had more important things to do. The life and death of thousands of Ning family members and the future of 100,000 Ning family soldiers all rested on her shoulders.
She is the head of the Ning family and should put the family first. The women and children of the Ning family are waiting for her.
She wants to take everyone with her on the long road of escape.
Rong Jing's eyes were filled with reluctance, but he had no choice. "I know the situation is not good right now, but this is the last thing I can do for my mother. After I bury my mother, I will go to the northwest to find you."
The eldest princess has no close relatives except him, who would care about her funeral?
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. No one cares about her except her closest relatives. How could he let her go alone?
Ning Zhiwei sighed inwardly, "They won't let you go."
No matter who comes to power, they will not keep a person who is suspected to be a remnant of the previous royal family. That person is extremely smart and has a great influence among the people.
The royal family has always been of the opinion that it would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Rong Jing knew that the royal family could not accommodate him, and the eldest princess knew it too, so she left the secret guard to him.
"Don't worry, the secret guards have already found out that the emperor did not issue a kill order for you and me before his death." It was too late.
"There is no new ruler yet, which is enough to cause all parties to fight fiercely and have no time to take care of other things."
The old emperor set up a massive scheme to lure in the rebels and remnants of the previous dynasty. He took great pains and put in a lot of effort, but he did not have enough time to establish a new emperor, leaving behind a mess.
All forces will choose their own side in the shortest possible time, and then fight for their own leader until a new emperor is elected.
Rong Jing had already figured this out. "Once everything is settled, even if I want to do it, I will wait until the funeral is over."
The funerals of the eldest princess and the emperor were destined to be held together.
"Besides, my mother left me a secret guard to protect me and ensure my safe departure. That's enough."
Ning Zhiwei was convinced, "Then you should be careful about everything. Check everything you eat, drink and wear strictly, and don't touch anything handed to you by others."
"Okay." Rong Jing looked at the woman with eyes full of concern, and his aching heart was greatly comforted. He was not left with nothing, he still had her!
"You have to be extra careful too. I'm worried that the court won't let the Ning family off."
Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly. This was within her expectations.
However, what she was most worried about was Su Mingjin. This person seemed to have been reborn. He was familiar with the context of all events and had a lot of valuable experience, which made her very uneasy.
This time, he did not show up, but blew up the hall, killing the deposed crown prince and crippling the fourth prince.
It can be said that he is the only uncontrollable factor and is too dangerous.
"I'm leaving."
Rong Jing couldn't help but follow her out, "I'll take you out."
Ning Zhiwei waved her hand, "No need, you stay here, someone will come to pay their respects at any time."
If he wasn't there, it would arouse other people's suspicion. Rong Jing suppressed his reluctance and hugged her gently, "Take care, we are going thousands of miles away."
Ning Zhiwei patted his back, "You too, I'll wait for you in Black Stone City."
"it is good."
Ning Zhiwei changed into men's clothes, painted his face black, and in the blink of an eye he became an ordinary Jinyiwei.
She rode a horse and ran out among a group of Jinyiwei.
The entire palace was in chaos, with guards and palace maids running around like headless flies. The masters, on the other hand, stayed in their residences, refusing to go out, and the whole place was in a mess.
It feels like a building is about to collapse.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, which made people nauseous. Ning Zhiwei sniffed and frowned slightly. How many people had been killed?
The team of Jinyiwei walked smoothly, and no one came forward to ask questions, until the last checkpoint, the gate of the palace.
They were stopped, "Stop, check."
The guards were a little afraid of the Jinyiwei and asked politely, "What are you doing?"
Ning Zhiwei blended into the crowd and calmly looked at the sentry post at the entrance and exit. There were a total of two hundred people, divided into two shifts, each lasting six hours, and they took turns to rest.
There were one hundred fully armed men, and there was a stationed army not far away. If they found anything wrong, they would immediately bring in the army to suppress it.
A Jinyiwei said with a smile, "Go back to the capital and inform all government offices to make preparations for the state funeral, and be on guard against the remnants of the previous royal family causing chaos."
The guard was stunned. "Ah, haven't they all been arrested?"
The Royal Guard smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No, the former Jin County Prince, Su Mingjin, has not been caught yet. He is the thief's leader. We will be worried until he is caught. You should also pay attention."
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. These damned bandits, couldn't they just stay quiet for a few hundred years? "Don't worry, if the bandits dare to come, I will make sure they never come back."
He checked the warrant and the entry and exit token again, confirmed that there was no problem, and waved his hand, "Let's go."
The Jinyiwei rode their horses and filed past the sentry gate. When it was Ning Zhiwei's turn, a voice suddenly rang out, "Wait a moment."
A tall guard blocked their way, and the other guards were a little surprised, "Ange, what's wrong?"
The brother looked at the group of people coldly, and his eyes gradually fell on Ning Zhiwei, "The whereabouts of this group of people are suspicious, I suspect they are bandits..."
The Jinyiwei was furious and shouted, "You are talking nonsense. We have the token to leave the palace."
He waved the token, as arrogant and domineering as ever.
The guards panicked and said, "Let them go."
"No." An Ge refused to make way. "I suspect they are taking this opportunity to escape. It's a mess right now. Why not arrest them first and investigate them carefully tomorrow? What if it's true?"
He paused, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "That would be a great achievement."
The last sentence touched the guards present, and it made sense. "Then I'll inconvenience you for now. If we made a mistake, we'll set up two tables to apologize to you."
"Please go to the small house and rest first."
Ning Zhiwei watched this scene expressionlessly, and shouted angrily, "If we miss the time and let the remnants of the previous dynasty escape, who will be responsible? You? Or you?"
After she changed into men's clothes, it was difficult to tell whether she was a male or female. She lowered her voice deliberately, giving it a bit of the clearness of a teenager, but there was no flaw.
But, that An Ge looked over with a sinister gaze, as cold as a snake in winter, "Jingning County Master?"
