Chapter 367: Little sister, come forward

"Ahem!"

A violent cough was heard in the carriage, and a deep voice said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I am already seriously ill, so I don't need your help!"

"Rulai, let's continue our journey!"

"Yes!"

Ning Rulai subconsciously bowed to the carriage, but Ning Yao's expression was condensed. This conversation didn't seem like a conversation between good friends at all, and Ning Rulai seemed to respect the people in the carriage very much.

Listening to his voice, it even sounded familiar, and he didn't seem to be very old.

Besides, what was Ning Rulai's identity?

The prince of Qin, the current emperor's nephew!

The young man who could make him so respectful, was he really his good friend?

Thinking of this, Ning Yao felt that this matter was a bit strange, and stepped forward and said: "Brother Wang, I wonder what disease the brother in the carriage has, can you come out to see him?"

"Ahem!"

Ning Rulai's expression was a little unnatural, knowing that he had exposed a flaw, and coughed lightly: "Your Highness, please forgive me, my friend is in poor health and cannot see the wind, I apologize to the princess on his behalf."

"So that's it!"

Ning Yao's face was calm, but his heart was more suspicious. Just as he was about to speak, he looked into the distance. The wedding procession returned with gongs and drums, and Ji Jiu appeared on the ancient road in the distance on a tall horse.

"Xiao Jiu is back to get married."

"Brother Wang, since we ran into each other, my friend is getting married today, why don't you stay and ask for a glass of wedding wine?"

"This..."

Ning Rulai was also entangled. This time he came for Ji Jiu's wedding, and His Highness even planned to preside over it personally.

But now, His Highness does not want to reveal his identity. Looking at the princess's face, she is obviously suspicious. In addition, Ji Jiu has returned, and the villagers have seen the scene just now.

Can it still be concealed?

"Little sister, come forward."

Just when Ning Rulai was in trouble, a gentle voice suddenly came from the carriage. Ning Yao trembled all over in an instant, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

This gentle call was like a thunder exploding in Ning Yao's ears.

"You...what did you say?"

"Why, you can't even recognize your brother's voice?"

The curtain of the car window was opened by a calloused hand, revealing a slightly pale face. Ning Yao's expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Royal brother!"

"You..."

"You!"

"You!!"

Ning Yao rushed forward and leaned in front of the car window, looking shocked: "How could you..."

"Why?" Ning Chen smiled and said gently: "Are you so surprised to see your brother?"

"Didn't you...fight...die in the West?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Bai Qi's expression changed slightly, his eyes staring at the face at the car window, full of solemnity.

The God of War Dayu who died in the West a few days ago, the eldest son of the current King Sheng, is not dead!

If this news spreads, let alone Dayu, I'm afraid the entire Central Plains Five Kingdoms will tremble.

"Your brother is the world-famous God of War Dayu. If I don't want to die, who can kill me?"

Ning Chen said the most domineering words in the gentlest tone. If such words were spoken by ordinary people, it would seem natural when spoken by Ning Chen.

"But...but the court and father..."

"Since you are still alive, why don't you go back?"

"What is going on?"

Ning Yao had tears in her eyes and her face was full of confusion.

"This is a plan of the court. It concerns state affairs. I cannot speak carelessly."

"Girl, you haven't told me yet, why are you here?"

"It's like this!"

Ning Yao told him about his experience in the south. Ning Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard it, and he said in a deep voice: "You have such a big thing, and your father and the little... Prince Yong have never visited you?"

"Royal brother, no... I have sent someone to inform my second brother."

Ning Chen did not continue to speak, but looked at Bai Qi not far away. His expression was condensed, and he bowed slightly and said: "Ning Chen thanks you for helping me."

"Your Highness is polite!"

Bai Qi bowed respectfully and kept silent.

The two looked at each other, both of them were shining with a touch of brilliance, and there seemed to be a hint of momentum on their bodies. For a moment, the atmosphere of the scene was extremely weird. Ning Rulai and Ning Yao on the side felt as heavy as being pressed down by a mountain for no reason.

Ning Chen's expression was even more solemn. After a moment of stalemate, he bowed slightly and said, "Sir, are you from the military?"

"I am a commoner in white."

"Sir, you are extraordinary. Ning Chen has never seen such a person in his life. For a moment, it was as if I had met an old friend."

"Your Highness, you are too kind!"

After the two had a brief conversation, Ning Yao couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Brother, why are you here?"

"Just now, my brother said that you are seriously ill. What's going on?"

Ning Rulai, who was standing aside, looked nervous, but saw Ning Chen smiling as usual: "I came here for military affairs this time. I wanted to hide it from you, but I didn't expect that you would be suspicious of Rulai. Now that the court's plan has been completed, I might as well meet you."

"As for being seriously ill, Rulai, you are so bold to make up this story about me!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Ning Rulai forced a smile. Knowing that Ning Chen didn't want to expose his physical condition, he bowed his hands to apologize.

"Tsk!"

Ning Yao seemed to be happier than ever before. Nothing could make people happier than getting something back after losing it.

To her, King Sheng was one of the only closest and dearest people she had in the world.

In fact, in her heart, he ranks first, not even as much as her second brother, who has been extremely fond of her since childhood. After all, they are from the same mother.

"Brother Imperial, you are here at the right time. A good friend of mine is getting married today. Come down and have a wedding drink together."

"Um!"

Ning Chen nodded with a smile and said softly: "Now that I am busy with official duties, and it is inconvenient for my identity to be exposed, I will not get out of the car."

"Oh well!"

"Brother Emperor, are you going back to Beijing!?"

"I won't go back for the time being, there are still some things that have not been dealt with."

"Girl, please remember that you cannot reveal the news that I am still alive to anyone!"

"Understand?"

Looking at Ning Chen's solemn expression, Ning Yao asked cautiously: "Do your father and second brother know?"

"You don't need to ask, you don't need to tell. Just think of it as you and I have never seen each other before."

"oh!"

Ning Yao couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. The wedding team had already arrived at the entrance of the village. Ji Jiu also saw Ning Chen's carriage and was about to dismount, but saw Ning Rulai stepping forward and saying: "General Ji, the marriage is the most important thing. After the ceremony is over, the nobles will be waiting in the back hall."

"promise!"

Ji Jiu looked solemn and bowed respectfully.

The group of people welcoming the bride also focused their attention on the carriage while walking towards the Ji family's residence.

"drive!"

"drive!"
