Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 485 Husband, Don’t Go Back

After they captured the capital, they did not live in the imperial palace, but instead chose a noble mansion with a large courtyard with seven entrances.

The yard was divided into two parts, with the front part being the meeting hall, the training ground, and the residences of the family's personal guards.

Entering the backyard is the residence for their family of four, which is big enough for them to live in.

And, Xiao Linfeng also chose the mansion of a civil official, which was not far away.

Xiao Linfeng walked in quickly. He only brought two followers with him, and his black robe fluttered in the wind.

Ning Ba welcomed the person into the flower hall, "Is there something urgent so late?"

The two fought side by side during these days, forged a friendship, and became very close.

Xiao Linfeng exchanged a few pleasantries and then handed over a letter.

"Her Majesty is getting married, and your whole family is invited to attend her wedding."

Ning Ba was stunned, "What? Invite our whole family?"

"Yes." Xiao Linfeng was also shocked when he received the letter. How did she come up with this idea?

Ning Ba is now also the leader of an insurgent army. He is above ten thousand people, and his prestige is extremely high.

How could he leave the Jin Kingdom so easily?

"Please give me a definite answer in advance whether you will participate or not."

Ning Ba's mood was complicated. Go back? Could he still go back?

During the time Xiao Linfeng worked with him, he got to know him well. He had great military talent and was good at leading troops.

"Although your majesty has established his own family and opened a new family tree, he still has to go to Qingluo Villa to pay tribute to General Ning and those relatives who died in the war before getting married. All members of the Ning family must participate, and she hopes that you can also participate."

Ning Ba's whole body trembled and his eyes gradually turned red.

He often dreams of his dead relatives and feels uncomfortable for a long time after waking up.

But he couldn't face those people.

He suppressed those chaotic thoughts, "What kind of person is Rong Jing?"

Xiao Linfeng was silent for a moment, "Smart and cunning, deep-minded, unfathomable."

Upon hearing this, Ning Ba was a little worried that his sister would suffer. In his impression, his sister was a very simple girl.

Even though he has become an emperor today, he still feels that she needs protection.

"Then why did Zhiwei choose him?"

Xiao Linfeng snorted coldly, "He is lucky, someone is taking care of things for him."

Ning Ba was surprised. It turned out that Xiao Linfeng also had mood swings?

He thought this guy was a cold-blooded war machine.

"Does he like Zhiwei?"

Xiao Linfeng gritted his teeth, "...I like it."

Ning Baquan understood, looked at Xiao Linfeng with sympathy, and patted his shoulder, "There are many beautiful women in the world, how about asking Ayu to introduce a few to you?"

Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "You should think about how to go back and meet your ancestors, you unfilial son."

Come on, let’s hurt each other.

Ning Ba: ...He was born in the year of the dog, right?

"What the hell does she mean?"

Xiao Linfeng laughed, "How should I know?"

After saying this, he turned and left.

Looking at his receding back, Ning Ba sighed softly.

A voice sounded behind him, "Husband, don't go back."

It was Ayu, she looked nervous and uneasy.

"Today is different from the past. You now have a wife, children, brothers, and tens of thousands of subordinates who depend on you for survival. If you make any mistakes, we will all die."

Ning Ba frowned slightly, "She won't touch me."

A Yu is very smart. She has known some things for a long time and does not bring them up because she just does not want to change the status quo.

"If she doesn't, what about others? What about those who want to achieve great things?"

Ning Ba sighed softly.

It was late at night and Ning Ba stood in the yard, looking up at the starry sky, staring blankly at the crescent moon.

A voice sounded, "Father, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

It’s Dabao, his little face is full of worry.

Ning Ba was startled. "I'm looking at the moon. It's very beautiful tonight."

Dabao looked at the gray moon and his mouth twitched. What's beautiful about it?

"Father, please tell me what's on your mind."

Ning Ba touched his head and said, "It's okay, go back to sleep."

Dabao took two steps, then suddenly stopped and looked up and asked, "Father, the former commander of the Ning family army, now the empress of Yong State, is she my aunt?"

Ning Ba was stunned, "Why do you think so?"

Dabao took out the jade pendant, which Ning Ba gave to his eldest son as a talisman. If anything happened to him, he would let his eldest son take his younger brother to find Ning Zhiwei.

"Is this jade pendant a token of the Ning family?"

Children are so direct. Ning Ba looked around and saw silence and no one was around.

He squatted down and looked into his son's eyes with a focused and serious look. "Yes, this is a piece of jade for every descendant of the Ning family. Their names are engraved on it when they are born. My real name is Ning Xiurui, the eighth son of the Ning family."

Dabao's heart was pounding. "Can you tell me about these things?"

"You are young."

Dabao said like a little adult, "I am not a child anymore. I can share your worries. I also want to know what my last name is and where I am from."

Ning Ba looked at his eldest son and sighed silently. This child was precocious and intelligent since childhood, but too much intelligence can lead to harm.

He held the child in his arms and slowly talked about the forgotten past. Dabao was stunned.

King Gaoli couldn't believe it and suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

How dare she send out such an invitation?

The court officials also thought it was too outrageous. "This is the Hongmen Banquet! Your Majesty, you can't go. If you go, you can't come back. I'm worried that the empress has already arranged all the assassination methods."

Only a fool would go there in this time of war.

They all suggested, "Your Majesty, please take advantage of this opportunity and ask her to withdraw her troops."

"Yes, yes, let them go back home."

“They should return the land they have occupied and compensate for all the losses.”

"Seeing that they are sending supplies continuously, they should have some spare capacity. We want 10 million taels of silver, which is not too much, right?"

Everyone was getting more and more excited, as if everything was under control.

"Not too much, not too much, I think it's too little."

King Gao Li shook his head slightly. It was too wishful thinking. The empress was famous for her strong character.

Right now, the most important thing is how to drive people out, rather than glossing over the situation.

At this moment, a cry of surprise was heard from outside.

A palace servant rushed in with a terrified look on his face, stumbling as he walked, "Your Majesty, something has happened, something terrible has happened."

King Gao Li wanted to beat him, would he speak? "What's wrong again?"

The palace servants stamped their feet anxiously, "The third prince was attacked and seriously injured."

Everyone changed color when they heard this, this was the legitimate prince born by the queen!

The king was shocked and angry, "Who did it? Who?"

The palace servant glanced at the eldest prince's uncle and whispered, "It's the eldest prince's man."

Everyone looked at the eldest prince's uncle. No way? So cruel?

The father-in-law threw a punch in anger, "Go to hell, you vicious guy."

The eldest prince's uncle was hit, his mouth full of blood, and he kept denying, "It's not me, it's really not me."

But no one believed him and broke his head.

From then on, the two factions started fighting each other to the death, with countless casualties and the court in chaos.

Just when the chaos was at its most chaotic, Ning Qi came with his army...
