It was much easier to find Wang Sizheng. After asking around all the way, I finally found the general's mansion where Wang Sizheng was staying before dark.
The territory of Yingchuan originally belonged to Hou Jing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It was just occupied by Wang Sizheng. Perhaps for security reasons, the General's Mansion was heavily guarded and surrounded by a large number of soldiers. Ordinary people would not even enter within three miles of the General's Mansion, let alone the door. were able.
Nanfeng didn't try to sign up for a meeting. Not only was it troublesome, but it was also easy to leak his whereabouts. It wouldn't be long before it got dark, and he would sneak in directly after dark.
There was a restaurant in a nearby street, so Nanfeng ate and waited there, while secretly thinking about what to do after entering the general's mansion.
Yuan Anning probably wouldn't mention their children's affair to Wang Sizheng, so Wang Sizheng probably didn't know about the relationship between the two and sneaked in rashly to ask about the situation. Wang Sizheng probably wouldn't tell him about Yuan Anning when he was not sure of his identity. 's whereabouts.
This problem is more difficult. Wang Sizheng is a loyal minister, and Yuan Anning's identity is also very special. There are many people who want to eradicate her. Wang Sizheng will never easily leak Yuan Anning's whereabouts to people of unknown origin.
After much deliberation, I still couldn't think of any way to prove the relationship between him and Yuan Anning. It was possible to prove his identity, but it was difficult to prove the relationship between the two.
Half an hour later, night fell, and Nanfeng still hadn't come up with a practical solution, but he was already here. He had to meet Wang Sizheng anyway, because at the moment, only Wang Sizheng could possibly know Yuan Anning's whereabouts.
Seeing the opportunity, he raised his energy and flew into the air, using the cover of night, to land on the roof of the east courtyard of the General's Mansion.
Just as he landed, he heard a loud voice from the inner courtyard asking, "Who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged Taoist rushed out from the west wing of the inner courtyard. After going out, he immediately turned to the upper room and looked around.
Due to the unknown situation, Nanfeng never showed up, but instead leaned sideways to hide his figure.
Looking around, there was nothing unusual. The middle-aged Taoist man moved from the roof of the west wing to the ridge of the east courtyard where Nanfeng was. Hearing the sound of wind, Nanfeng dodged again and clung to the roof tiles with one hand, hanging under the north eaves.
"Senior brother, what happened?" A voice came from the inner courtyard.
"I vaguely heard the sound of stepping on tiles earlier." The middle-aged Taoist replied.
As soon as the person finished speaking, the sound of someone approaching the room was heard again from the inner courtyard. In order to avoid being discovered by this person, Nan Feng bent his body and swung under the eaves, supported the purlins, and hid in it.
The two Taoists above found nothing, so they stayed on the roof for a while and then went down.
Due to just a hasty glance, Nanfeng did not see the appearance of these two people clearly. He could only determine that this person was Taoist Yuqing based on the style of the Taoist robes he wore. In addition, these two people also lived in mountains.
The Western Wei Dynasty occupied Yingchuan for a short time. Logically speaking, Taoist Yuqing should not appear here.
There are two possibilities for the appearance of these two Yuqing Taoists here. One is that the Western Wei Dynasty sent them to protect Wang Sizheng in order to ensure Wang Sizheng's safety. Another possibility is that they put Wang Sizheng under house arrest, or they also put Yuan Anning under house arrest, using them as bait to lure him here.
But if you think about it carefully, the latter possibility is not very big. Wang Sizheng is a general of the Western Wei Dynasty, and it is impossible for Yu Qingzong to put him under house arrest casually. Furthermore, even if Yu Qing Zong discovers Yuan An Ning's whereabouts, he will not set up an ambush here because Yu Qing Zong is not sure whether he will come to look for him in a short time.
Furthermore, if they want to set up an ambush here, they will at least send a Taixuan master, otherwise even if he comes, Yu Qingzong will not be able to catch him.
The first possibility is still high. The two Yuqing Taoist priests appeared here. They were probably assigned by the imperial court to protect Wang Sizheng.
At this moment, the door of the main room in the inner courtyard was opened, and two general-looking men walked out. After they went out, they closed the door behind their backs. When they left, they saw the two standing in the yard. The Taoist also greeted them politely.
Since it was located in a blind spot, Nanfeng never saw the scene in the main room. However, judging from the attitude of the two generals towards the two Taoists, his previous guess was correct. The two Taoists were indeed members of the Yuqing sect. To protect Wang Sizheng.
With these two Yuqing Taoists around, you can't act rashly. These two people are here to protect Wang Sizheng, so naturally you can't kill them. If these two people find him here, it will make Yuqing suspicious of his relationship with Wang Sizheng, which will be very detrimental to Wang Sizheng, and even more detrimental to Yuan Anning and his sister.
And Wang Sizheng didn't know him. Once he showed up, he would most likely think he was an assassin. If he shouted loudly, the two Yuqing Taoists would immediately break down the door and rescue him.
Looking at the situation around him as if he was facing a formidable enemy, it was unlikely that Wang Sizheng would go to a remote place alone. It would be very difficult to find an opportunity to be alone with Wang Sizheng.
I couldn't think of a feasible solution at the moment, so I could only wait patiently and look for opportunities.
At the second watch, two maids came out of the west courtyard, carrying food boxes in their hands. It was obvious that they were here to deliver supper to Wang Sizheng.
One of the maids carried a food box and knocked on the door of the west wing. As soon as the door opened, Nan Feng saw the scene in the west wing clearly. There were only two Taoists inside. There were more than 80 purple energy masters in Yuqing Sect. He was not He recognized everyone, but he didn't recognize these two.
Another maid came to the main door with a food box, knocked on the door and entered.
Since we were looking sideways from the east courtyard, we could not see the scene in the main room. We could only see a piece of armor worn by a general hanging next to the west door.
After half a stick of incense, the maid in the main room went out first. At this time, the two Taoists in the west wing were still eating porridge.
It was a rare opportunity. At the moment when the maid put down the food box and reached out to close the door, Nan Feng floated to the ground, used Earth Escape, and appeared on the west side of the main room.
The maid didn't notice, closed the door, picked up the food box and left.
There are tables, chairs and other utensils in the main room. There is a large wooden case in the north. A man in his fifties is wearing casual clothes and reviewing battle reports before turning himself in. This man is tall, sitting upright and looks like a soldier. , no need to ask, it is the general Wang Sizheng.
Since Nanfeng appeared without any sound, Wang Sizheng did not notice it. When the door closed, Nanfeng stepped forward, unsheathed his sword and pressed it against Wang Sizheng's neck.
It was only then that Wang Sizheng came back to his senses. This man had been on the battlefield for a long time and thought that he must have no physiology. He did not panic and scream. He just slowly put down the brush in his hand, sighed and closed his eyes.
Naturally, Nanfeng would not kill him, so he immediately retracted his sword and whispered, "I am not an enemy."
Wang Sizheng opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked sideways at Nanfeng. He didn't ask questions, but waited for him to speak.
"Those two Yuqing Taoists are not my opponents, but I don't want to alarm them. If they know that I have been here, it will be very detrimental to you." Nanfeng said in a low voice.
Wang Sizheng was quite like a general. He was calm and did not panic when faced with danger. When he heard Nan Feng's words, he just nodded slowly.
Nanfeng didn't know how to win Wang Sizheng's trust. After thinking deeply, he placed the long sword in front of Wang Sizheng's eyes. With a slight exertion, he turned the sword into a sword, "Her hand is part of my sword."
Wang Sizheng frowned slightly when he heard this. After the long knife turned into a long sword, he moved his eyes to Nanfeng's face.
"She has been with me for the past two years. She just returned to China not long ago. She wanted to look for you. I also had something urgent to do, so I separated temporarily. We originally arranged to meet up in Chang'an, but she never came. I I came to look for you because I wanted to know if she has been here before." Nanfeng whispered.
Wang Sizheng still didn't speak.
Wang Sizheng didn't speak, which meant that Wang Sizheng didn't believe him. Nanfeng had to say again, "The Gongshu Yaoshu you used to defend the city was also given to her by me. I also know who she gave the Gongshu Yaoshu to before she left. .”
Wang Sizheng was smart, how could he not hear the implication of Nan Feng's words. Only a few people knew this secret. Since Nan Feng knew it, it showed that he had a close relationship with Yuan An Ning. "She has been here before, but she only stayed for half the time." He left in a hurry within an hour."
"Going back to Yubi?" Nanfeng asked.
Wang Sizheng nodded.
"When she left, did she go straight north from here, or to the northwest?" Nanfeng asked again. There was a large river twenty miles northwest of here. He asked this question to infer whether the water hyena had anything to do with it. Yuan An Ning goes together.
"To the north." Wang Sizheng said.
Nanfeng nodded, then said, "Write down her specific residence in Yubi, I will go find her."
Wang Sizheng did not hesitate, picked up his pen to write, and then handed the white paper with writing to Nanfeng.
Nanfeng reached out and took it, took a look at it, folded it and put it away, "It was unfortunate and the general was frightened. I will come back to apologize to the general someday."
"Take care, we must find the young lady." Wang Sizheng said goodbye to Nanfeng.
Nan Feng nodded, left through the back door, cast Earth Escape, and walked away in a flash. When he arrived outside the city, he took the Eighth Master and rushed to Jade Bi...
