Chapter 140 Chance Encounter
Yunzhi's birthday is getting closer and closer. The four countries have prepared gifts and started to select candidates to go.
at this time.
Bingzhou, Ningfu.
Ning Qingwu, wearing a crimson dress, ran towards her returning father.
"Dad, you're back."
The father and daughter have been together for many years. Looking at his daughter coming towards him, Ning's father saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"can not go."
Ning Qingwu didn't expect to hear these words as soon as she approached, "Dad, I haven't said anything yet."
"Don't you want to go to Anguo?"
The main topic of discussion at today's morning court was who to send to Anguo, and the candidate was also finalized today.
The person sent was a close confidant of Ji Xun.
Now that she had returned, her daughter greeted him so enthusiastically, and Father Ning naturally understood what she was thinking.
"Dad, how did you know? I'm really curious about that place. There's an empress and a female general there. I really want to go and see them."
In fact, what Ning Qingwu was most curious about was General Chen Yuanshu, who was said to be a brave and resourceful woman.
Facing his daughter's expectant eyes, Father Ning shook his head firmly. "Although the war has ceased, it's only on the surface. The journey is long and dangerous. You should stay here and prepare to get married."
Ning Qingwu's wedding date has been set. After matching their horoscopes, it was decided to be July 23rd, which is next month.
"There's still more than a month left, so it's still early. It's plenty of time for me to go over there and take a look. Dad, please let me go. You taught me all my martial arts. If nothing else, at least I can protect myself."
Listening to his daughter's coquettish words, if it was any other ordinary matter, Ning's father might have agreed, but this trip was dangerous, how could Ning's father agree to let his only daughter go.
"No, just stay at home."
After saying this, he no longer looked at his daughter's pitiful eyes and turned to go to his study.
Ning Qingwu was left standing there alone.
Looking at the receding figure, Ning Qingwu stomped his feet, "Dad!"
As a result, this shout made Ning's father walk faster.
Ning Qingwu is often told by his father that he has spoiled him and will never give up until he achieves his goal.
She will definitely go on this trip to Anguo.
Ning's father naturally guessed that she would escape that day, and had already sent people to watch her.
However, Ning Qingwu not only learned his father's martial arts, but also learned his combat tactics.
By the time Ning's father found out, Ning Qingwu had already joined the team heading to Anguo.
He only left a letter to reassure him.
Now, Ning's father is unable to get her captured, and has no choice but to send more people to protect her.
Because the distance was short, there was no rush to travel, and three days later, the carriage entered the territory of Anguo.
Looking at the cement road where the carriage had passed, Ning Qingwu curiously stuck his head out to watch.
She knew about this cement road. Now Yue State has successfully produced cement, and the road to the capital has begun to be built.
But this was her first time walking on a concrete road.
After stepping onto the cement road, the speed increased a lot. In just two days, the Yue State team arrived at the capital of Anguo.
This journey really shocked Ning Qingwu. She had been in a prosperous place like the capital for more than ten years.
But this place is not inferior to the capital at all.
Along the way, she heard many people talking about the empress, all of which were words of praise.
Is such a place really easy to attack?
It would be better to just maintain a peaceful relationship.
That night, under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites of Anguo, they stayed in the embassy built with cement.
Because Ning Qingwu did not come here openly, her identity on this trip could only be a maid.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with sleeping with several maids.
After traveling for several days, Ning Qingwu fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
Early the next morning.
Ning Qingwu found the envoy from the Kingdom of Yue.
"Master Zhou, there are still a few days until the Wanshou Festival. Can I go out for a walk?"
Lord Zhou naturally did not dare to refuse the future empress.
When he first learned that this person was following him, he was so anxious that he wanted to turn around immediately. Fortunately, the people sent by General Ning arrived and told him to proceed as usual. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I can. Would you like me to send a few guards to accompany you?"
"No need, just treat me as an ordinary maid. If I go out with guards, people will see that something is wrong at a glance."
"That's fine."
After all, General Ning would definitely send someone to secretly protect Miss Ning, so Lord Zhou was not too worried.
After getting Mr. Zhou's consent, Ning Qingwu left the embassy happily.
On the street, the bustling hawking sounds were endless, and she found everything new and interesting.
Ning Qingwu looked around and unknowingly walked to a weapons shop.
Since she was just going for a stroll, she went in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I met Chen Yuanshu who was checking weapons.
Coincidentally, today is Chen Yuanshu's day off, and she wants to pick out some weapons that suit her.
Ning Qingwu naturally knew about Chen Yuanshu, and there was still a portrait of her in her house.
Now, seeing Chen Yuanshu standing in front of me in a tight suit and looking heroic is more impactful than looking at a painting.
Ning Qingwu couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart that this legendary General Chen was indeed extraordinary.
Chen Yuanshu was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes. After noticing her gaze, he turned his head and looked at her, "Miss, are you also interested in weapons?"
"Know a thing or two."
Ning Qingwu stepped forward and said, "Just like the sword in General Chen's hand, it looks extremely sharp, but in fact, the design of the hilt is slightly flawed. Holding it for a long time will affect the power."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yuanshu's eyes. It was not because she called her "General Chen". After all, there were many people in the city who could recognize her.
She was just surprised that this person could see the flaw in the sword in his hand with just one glance.
This is more than just a little knowledge.
Next, the two talked about weapons and tactics. The more they talked, the more they got along. Before long, it was almost noon.
"It's getting late, let's talk next time."
Ning Qingwu nodded, "Okay."
Ning Qingwu was very excited about today's conversation and wanted to treat her as a confidant. It was true that they had many similar views.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet, young lady, and where you live?"
"I...I am a maid from Yue Country, my name is Qingtao."
A maid?
That doesn't seem like it.
"Okay, I'll take note. It's getting late, why don't I take Miss Qingtao back home."
"Okay."
After sending her back to the embassy, Chen Yuanshu's face darkened and he turned and walked towards the palace.
