Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 244 Brother, Shangguan Chu (second update)
The fastest man is from the Ji family, and the fastest horse is from the Ning family.

If he wanted to go to Jiangnan as quickly as possible, he had to negotiate terms with Ning Xiuren.What's more, it's not just about borrowing horses, but the kind of borrowing without repayment. To make Ning Xiuren believe his news, he must be honest about something.

For example, the channel of news.For example, your own identity.

So, on the way to Ning's house, Ji Wuyan had already made up her mind and told her everything.

Ning Xiuren stood on the spot in a daze, opening his mouth to look at the face under the veil, which was not unfamiliar—the face of the late princess.Then he belatedly realized what Ji Wuyan said just now... He opened his mouth, and the last trace of blood on his face disappeared.

That news is true.

Although Shangguan Chu is really not a good person, he is not in the nature of spreading false news to tease people when he is full.

Ning Xiuren slumped heavily on the chair behind him, the folding fan that had been pulled out with great difficulty crashed to the ground, the surface of the fan was torn and split into two.

He was still in constant shock, but Ji Wuyan didn't have the patience to wait for him to adjust his emotions, and said bluntly, "Within seven days, my best hidden guard will be able to arrive in Yingzhou. But, I need to ask Ning The second master borrowed four famous horses. I know that the second master has the habit of raising famous horses in various places, but I don’t want to hide it from you. I will let people use a special medicine to make them crazy. Within two days, they will be tireless. I know how to run wildly...so..."

Ning Xiuren looked at her, his eyes rarely showed some emotion called "helplessness". He murmured to Ji Wuyan, "Is it enough to send only one person?"

"Enough." Ji Wuyan didn't sit down, even though her heart was still turbulent without a moment of peace, she still clenched her fists and calmly assured the other party, "I will definitely bring him back."

"Okay, then wait for me for a while, and I'll go get the documents." Ning Xiuren nodded, propped himself on the edge of the table and walked into the room. After taking two steps, he staggered and almost fell. He held on to the railing behind him, steady He stabilized his figure and bent his back slightly.

At the gate of the yard, there seemed to be a woman's questioning voice, and the voice of the guarding servant was respectful, "Return to Madam, the second master is seeing guests, and has ordered everyone not to enter."

"What guest?" the woman asked again.

"A girl from the Ji family."

Then there was no sound, only the rustling of clothes, probably looking around the gate of the yard, but finally did not come in.

Ji Wuyan lowered her head and put on the veil, raised her head and closed her eyes, her palms hurt from being pricked by fingertips, her figure swayed slightly in the dark world.Gu Cuo subconsciously stretched out his hand to help her, she avoided it lightly, opened her eyes and looked over, shaking her head, "I'm fine."

Ning Xiuren came out very quickly, handed over a document, and explained, "There is a map in it, and I have circled the location. You can choose the route. When you get there, give this document with my seal to it. The steward will take you there to pick horses."

Ji Wuyan took it with both hands, and replied in a low voice, "Thank you."

Obviously she was running around for their Ning family's affairs, but this girl bent down to salute herself so silently and earnestly, Ning Xiuren couldn't tell what the sour feeling in his heart was.

He asked, "Is there anything else I need to do, just ask."

"One thing." Ji Wuyan nodded, "Brother's news network is relatively fast, but within three days, the news will surely reach Yanjing City, and the old lady will go to pilgrimage in the future. She stays in the mansion, don't let her hear the news."

Many exhortations, covering every aspect.

He wanted to say that the whole Ning family would be grateful to the girl in the future, but when it came to his lips, he didn't say anything.He opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say a word of politeness, all the politeness was contempt for the other party's heart.

Ning Xiuren cupped his hands and bowed slowly, "Miss, don't worry. Xiuyuan...just leave it to the girl."

It's not that I don't want to take a trip to Jiangnan in person.But Ji Wuyan has already said that her people will be able to arrive in Yingzhou within seven days, while on her side... it will take more than [-] days to fully plan. No matter how I look at it, I don’t need to add to the superfluous situation. It’s better to stabilize my mother and stabilize the situation in the city. That's what matters.

The third master of the Ning family is missing. Once the news spreads in the city, the city of Yanjing will be in chaos. At that time, clowns from all over the world will come on stage to perform, and the father and elder brother will inevitably be in a hurry. At that time, the mother will still have to rely on herself.

He watched Ji Wuyan leave, and watched the girl who had been so calm from the beginning to the end take two steps, her feet were so weak that she almost fell, the person behind him reached out to help her, and she waved her hand, and her pace slowed down, but obviously, It was as if the breath that had been condensed all this time was suddenly released, and the footsteps were all vain.

After all, it's a strong support... Ning Xiuren suddenly called out, "Miss Ji."

The opponent looks back.

Ning Xiuren licked his lips and said hesitantly, "I don't know if it's possible...can you tell me your real name?"

Ji Wuyan said, "Following my mother's surname, my name is Ji Ning'er." After she finished speaking, she said goodbye, and when she met the second lady who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the courtyard, she nodded slightly and walked past, neither humble nor overbearing.

The second lady looked back for a while, then withdrew her gaze and walked into the yard, but saw her husband was still staring in the direction of the door in a daze.How to say the expression... It's quite complicated, curious, inquiring, stunned, shocked, and a little bit confused and overwhelmed.

When the Ji family came here, she didn't see her mother, elder brother, or sister-in-law who had met several times, but she came to see her husband whom she had never met... What was the meaning?

She stepped forward hesitantly, and called softly, "Husband...Miss Ji is here, what's the matter?"

"Nothing." Ning Xiuren turned and entered, but his sleeve was grabbed.

Jiefa's wife pulled him, raised her chin slightly, pursed her lips and remained silent, stubbornly wanting an answer.

Ning Xiuren, however, was concerned about Yaodi, whose whereabouts were unknown, but he couldn't say anything about it. He sighed, his voice was a little bit cold, "Relax, things are not what you think."

The other party loosened his grip on the sleeve, lowered his head, bit his lip, looked aggrieved, and after a while, shook his sleeve and left.

Almost at that moment, he suddenly understood a little bit, his eyes were higher than that of Ning Xiuyuan, who was full of famous ladies in the city and no one looked down on him, why he identified Ji Wuyan so hastily and decisively.

There are prominent families and ladies everywhere.But there is only one Ji Wuyan like this.

When a crisis strikes, even if the whole person can't even walk steadily, he can still deal with the current affairs in the first place, being comprehensive and rational.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Ning Xiuren wouldn't believe that a little girl of twenty-eight years old was so tenacious.
