Mu Ling'er never thought that Gu Beiyue would call her girl!
She couldn't get used to it for a while. She only felt that the way Gu Beiyue spoke and smiled just now was not the same as usual!
Inexplicably, Mu Ling'er suddenly felt that Gu Beiyue had become much more amiable. One had to know that although he was humble and cultured, he always gave people a sense of distance.
If her brother-in-law had an aura that kept people a thousand miles away and didn't dare to approach him for the first time, then Gu Beiyue had a very good impression of him for the first time. After getting along with him for a long time, she gradually felt his alienation. They had known each other for a long time and were very familiar with each other, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn't understand him at all.
Mu Ling'er couldn't help but be curious. Was Gu Beiyue really close to Miss Qin?
After thinking about it carefully, she quickly felt that her idea was laughable. He was going to marry her, so of course he liked her. Since he liked her, he would naturally be close to her.
If it weren't for Mu Ling'er's big mouth, Ning Cheng wouldn't have known about Gu Beiyue's marriage. He asked Gu Beiyue in surprise, "You're getting married?"
"Yes, soon. When the time comes, I will definitely honor you with my presence at Medical City to drink a cup of wine. "After Gu Beiyue finished speaking, he smiled and turned to leave. He clearly didn't want to say anything more.
He and Mu Ling'er both stared blankly at Gu Beiyue. They both had the same thought. Gu Beiyue, this guy … was really hard to understand!
"Miss Ling'er, did you need something from me?" Ning Cheng asked.
Mu Ling'er looked around, so Ning Cheng let her into the tent to talk.
However, when they entered the tent, Mu Ling'er was still hesitating, as if she had some misgivings.
"Why don't you come back after you've made up your mind?" Ning Cheng asked.
"No, no, I just want to ask you … just ask." Mu Ling 'er was in a dilemma. She hesitated for a long time before she said, "Where's Jin Zi?"
Ning Cheng was not surprised. What surprised him was not Mu Ling 'er asking about the gold, but Mu Ling' er's attitude towards this matter.
This little girl had always been carefree and said whatever she wanted to say. She had chased Gu all over the world without hiding anything from anyone, and she had never felt embarrassed. Everyone asked her if she liked Gu, and she admitted it openly.
She asked about Jin Zi's whereabouts after being rescued, yet she was able to stammer for so long.
Was she embarrassed or guilty?
Ning Cheng sized up Mu Ling'er and asked, "Why are you looking for gold?"
Mu Ling'er's heart was already in a mess, so she did not feel embarrassed or guilty. However, when Ning Cheng looked at her like this and asked her this question, she actually felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm looking for him … for something." She answered.
"What is it? Is it very important? "Ning Cheng asked again.
Mu Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's nothing important. Sorry to disturb you so late at night. I'm leaving."
Ning Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said loudly, "I've already given the indenture agreement to Jin Zi. He left after receiving the indenture agreement and hasn't appeared since. He probably returned to Wintercrow Country and will never appear again. "
Mu Ling'er stopped abruptly. "He's free?"
"That indenture agreement was burned right here in my tent, three months ago," Ning Cheng's voice was as loud as ever, as if he was doing it on purpose.
"He went back by himself …" Mu Ling'er muttered to herself. Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she turned back to look at Ning Cheng, laughing loudly. "That's great! Then I'm free too! "
She was free too?
Just as Ning Cheng was pondering the meaning of these words, Mu Ling'er had already skipped out. When she reached the door, she turned back and shouted to Ning Cheng, "Great General Ning, I'm leaving in a bit. I'm going back to find my sister!"
Leaving in a bit? Leaving in the middle of the night? Was she in such a hurry?
Ning Cheng's mouth twitched. As he expected, Jin Zi appeared at his door as soon as Mu Ling'er's figure disappeared.
Jin Zi pushed Ning Cheng into the tent and said angrily, "Ning Cheng, who told you I went to Wintercrow Country? Who told you I'm never coming back? "
Ning Cheng had deliberately said those words to provoke Jin Zi into revealing himself through Mu Ling'er. At first, he also thought Jin Zi had returned to Wintercrow Country. However, Jin Zi hadn't sent him a single letter during this period, so he knew Jin Zi hadn't left.
"It's a misunderstanding. Can you go and explain? She's leaving in a bit. "Ning Cheng said.
"My business with her has nothing to do with you!" Jin Zi was full of anger.
Ning Cheng probably couldn't be so relaxed in front of Gu Beiyue. Only in front of Jin Zi could he say everything he wanted to.
He restrained his smile and said seriously, "Jin Zi, I have something important to discuss with you. The matter in Northern Li is basically settled. Are you coming with me to Yunning County? I'll leave in a few days. "
Ning Cheng was afraid Jin Zi would refuse and wanted to ask him to consider for a few days before making a decision. Unexpectedly, Jin Zi nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I'll leave tonight. Do whatever you want! "
Jin Zi looked like he was in a hurry to leave, just like Mu Ling'er just now.
Ning Cheng pressed his shoulder. "Just now, Mu Ling'er said she's also free. What does that mean?"
When Han Yunxi left Northern Li last year, she had asked him to investigate what had happened between Jin Zi and Mu Ling'er. He hadn't been able to get anything out of her.
However, Mu Ling'er had clearly let it slip just now.
Jin Zi had returned to Wintercrow Country and was never coming back. She was free? Could it be that Jin Zi had forced Mu Ling'er to do something?
"I don't know. Let go!" Jin Zi said Coldly.
"If I tell Han Yunxi what you said just now, do you think you can still go to Yunning?" Ning Cheng's voice also turned cold.
Jin Zi was silent for a while before saying lightly, "Ning Cheng, I've always treated you as a friend. Don't interfere in the matters between me and Mu Ling'er, okay?"
Ning Cheng was a little angry. "Leng Sheng, if I didn't treat you as a friend, would I have given you the indenture agreement? Do you know that Han Yunxi told me again and again to keep an eye on you! Of all the people you could have provoked, you just had to provoke her sister! "
It was only in private that Ning Cheng would call "Han Yunxi" directly.
Only then did Jin Zi turn back to look at Ning Cheng. He caught a glimpse of wine at the side and strode over, picking it up and downing it!
Jin Zi's alcohol tolerance wasn't very good to begin with. These days, he had been following Ning Cheng and was dragged by Ning Cheng to drink every day. His alcohol tolerance had improved, but he still didn't get drunk after downing a large jar.
After finishing the wine, Jin Zi sat down at the side. Ning Cheng crossed his arms and leaned against the map on the wall, looking at him.
Jin Zi was a taciturn person. At this moment, the figure sitting there alone gave off a silent and lonely feeling.
He told him about the agreement between him and Mu Ling'er.
Ning Cheng thought for a while and said seriously, "Do you know that I won't wait for you after the deadline?"
"I only promised her that if Gu takes a liking to her within a year, I'll let her go. A year's time is up. It's my business when I want to bring her back to Wintercrow! "Jin Zi said confidently.
Ning Cheng asked curiously, "Gu didn't come along …"
Other than Han Yunxi and a few others, no one knew about Gu's situation. Ning Cheng and Jin Zi had no way of finding out. However, Gu didn't come along with Mu Ling'er this time. Moreover, Han Yunxi had told them that Gu definitely wasn't with Mu Ling'er.
According to the previous agreement, Jin Zi could naturally bring her away. Moreover, Mu Ling'er even took the initiative to come to the military camp and asked about his whereabouts.
"She must be here to break the contract. Otherwise, based on her character, she would've hidden far away and wouldn't come here. " Jin Zi's lips curled into a self-mocking smile as he said lightly, "Ning Cheng, we're both businessmen and we value contracts the most. But … he's actually afraid that I'll allow her to break the contract! "
For the past three months, he had been avoiding her because he was afraid that she would come to negotiate with him. He was afraid that his heart would soften under her pitiful gaze once again!
How could he give up on the prey that was already in his mouth?
Ning Cheng smiled helplessly and patted Jin Zi's shoulder, saying, "It's done! I'll pretend that I don't know about this. If you're going to Yunning County, hurry and prepare! "
Jin Zi was about to leave when Mu Ling'er unexpectedly returned. She didn't enter the tent but said outside, "Great General Ning, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ning Cheng glanced at Jin Zi and answered, "What is it?"
"I have a gold card here. If you see Jin Zi in the future, please pass it to him on my behalf. Just say that I'm returning it to him. "
Outside the door, Mu Ling'er was already leading the carriage and carrying her luggage.
"Alright, you can leave it to the guards," Ning Da said loudly.
"Thank you for your trouble. I'll be leaving then!" Mu Ling'er's tone was cheerful.
Jin Zi lowered his head and looked to the side, his expression cold and dissatisfied.
After Mu Ling'er left, Jin Zi and Ning Cheng walked out. Jin Zi took the gold card and played with it, saying to Ning Cheng, "See you in Yunning. Also, as we agreed before, you have to compensate me for my private bank. Otherwise, even if I stay in Northern Li, I won't get involved with the Black Clan's matters!" Jin Zi wasn't polite at all.
Ning Cheng was also straightforward, "No problem. Leave your tiger token. These few months, the Black Clan's army and the Tiger Army have been in a mess. "
Jin Zi didn't think much and took out the tiger token and threw it to Ning Cheng. He left in a hurry, secretly chasing after Mu Ling'er.
Only after Jin Zi left did Ning Cheng's lips curl into a sly smile, "Brother, I can only keep you if I have both the woman and the money. If you want money, go ask Long Fei Ye! "
Ning Cheng returned to the tent and took out a brush and ink. He walked to the map and quickly began to draw circles and dots on it.
The markings that Gu Beiyue saw just now were all the previous ones. He hadn't written down the places he wanted to mark!
He spent the whole night to set up a trap, a trap where the Black Clan and the Tiger Army dominated Northern Li. He didn't want to give this map to the princess, but to set up a trap for the princess!
No matter what, Northern Li must be the princess's power!
The next day, in the name of Jin Zi, he mobilized the Black Clan's army and the Tiger Army and stationed them at the Three Roads Pass and several major checkpoints in Northern Li.
A few days later, Ning Cheng handed over all his affairs to the deputy general and left the camp alone, rushing to Yunning County.
Three days later, the deputy general received a handwritten letter from Ning Cheng. There was only one sentence in the letter, "Everything is fine, don't disturb me, don't look for me."
The deputy general was shocked and began to look for Ning Cheng. Unfortunately, he couldn't get in touch or find him.
Ning Cheng was missing on the way to Yunning!
The deputy general found Jin Zi and asked him to look for him. He also told Ning Jing and Ning Nuo to look for him. Unfortunately, no one could find Ning Cheng.
All the military forces were ready to wait for Ning Cheng to come to Yunning and compete with him for the power of Northern Li. However, Ning Cheng abandoned Northern Li and left!
As for Long Fei Ye, who had prepared strong liquor, he was undoubtedly stood up!
