The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 164 The Rebellion in Lincheng (7)

Lin Ziyi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Ning, you have come out!"

Xia Jin was stunned, Lin Ziyi called him Uncle Ning, and used the word "you"?

Isn't Ning Zhaoping a traitor?But Lin Ziyi called them like this, which shows that they were very familiar with each other before!

Ning Zhaoping made a gesture of invitation, "Sit down, this is the tea I planted, picked during the Ching Ming Festival, roasted at a slow fire and then kneaded and fried. Although it is not as good as famous tea, it is the most mellow and natural."

Lin Ziyi sat on the futon in front of the low table, held the teacup with one hand, and lifted the tea lid with the other hand to wipe off the tea leaves floating on the teacup. The tea soup was green and fragrant!

Lin Ziyi blew on the hot air and pecked lightly.

"How?" Ning Zhaoping looked expectant. His city fell and he didn't ask, but he cared more about Lin Ziyi's tea.

"Good tea!" Lin Ziyi put down his teacup.

Ning Zhaoping stroked his beard and laughed, "You are just like your father, when you drink tea, you only say 'good tea'!"

"You were father's lieutenant at the beginning. After father passed away, you were dispatched here. It's Ziyi's fault that I haven't come to see you for so many years!"

Ning Zhaoping waved his hand, "Since the old general has gone, we old things have no value in existence!"

Speaking of this, Ning Zhaoping showed a sad look.

"Ten years ago, there was a plague in Lincheng. I was sent here, but I was blocked here. Thanks to cooking tea, I solved the plague by accident. I wanted to return to the court, but I was accused of treason!"

"Hey, but I can't argue with my mouth, and I can't even get out!"

"Those traitors are nothing more than trying to trap me here to death, and then cover up the crimes they committed back then!"

"Fortunately, after waiting for many years, Ziyi finally came!" Ning Zhaoping said excitedly.

"Uncle Ning, you have suffered!" Lin Ziyi said seriously.

The more Xia Jin listened, the more confused she became. What's going on?

Seeing Mu Gu waiting outside, Xia Jin walked over and asked, "Mu Gu, General and City Lord Ning, did you know each other before?"

Mu Gu nodded and explained: "City Lord Ning used to be the deputy general of the old general. Later, the old general died in battle and his military power was weakened. As the deputy general, City Lord Ning was sent to Lincheng for disaster relief. I didn't expect to find out that the plague here break out!

City Lord Ning could have left, but he couldn't bear to watch them set fire to the city and stayed. However, after he brought the plague under control, he found himself accused of treason.

Over the years, City Lord Ning has struggled to support him just to wait for someone who can uphold justice for him! "

"Since you want to uphold justice, why do you need generals to attack the city?" Xia Jin looked at Mu Gu.

"The appearance has to be done, otherwise it will attract people's suspicion and give them a reason to sue in front of the emperor! Therefore, the whole scene has to be done! Speaking of it, it is thanks to the princess, otherwise it would not be so smooth!" Mu Gu laughed. .

Xia Jin blinked, then looked at the two people who were talking inside.

"It looks like City Lord Ning is planning to return to the capital with Lin Ziyi?"

"Well, we must go back!"

Xia Jin understood what he meant, and guessed a little bit in her heart, "The matter of City Lord Ning being wronged is related to Qu Cheng, right?"

"Exactly!"

"Princess, go and rest. If you're bored, go for a stroll in the city. The general and City Lord Ning will chat for a while!" Mu Gu said.

"By the way, isn't the princess interested in ore? There is an open-pit mine in the west of Ningcheng, but it has not been mined for a long time because Ningcheng has been closed. The princess will go and have a look, maybe there will be some harvest!"
