Chapter 627 We Act Separately

Mo Lingwei pondered for a moment and asked Mr. Cui: "How many people are there in the nursing home I asked you to prepare earlier?"

"Including those from our own residence and those from other residences, there are a total of eighty people who can be mobilized.

eighty……

The guards are not bodyguards or secret guards, most of them are just middle-aged men who know some ordinary boxing and kicking skills.

Cangyun State has clear regulations that merchants like Mr. Cui, no matter how big their business is, cannot have a large number of guards to avoid suspicion of rebellion.

Cui Erye can gather 80 nursing homes, which is already very good.

It's a pity that most of the guards' skills are mediocre and cannot compare with ordinary guards.

"It's enough to deal with it for a few days," Mo Ling said dangerously.

Fortunately, he made arrangements early, and Mr. Cui was already fully prepared.

Mo Lingwei asked Mr. Cui to transfer all the nursing staff to Cui Mansion.

While Mr. Cui went out to do errands, Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei both changed into a set of clean clothes. When they arrived, even though they were wearing raincoats, they were already soaked through.

"Is it cold?" Mo Lingwei rubbed Shen Ningning's small white hands repeatedly, his eyebrows furrowed with concern.

"It's not cold." Although Shen Ningning said so, Mo Lingwei was still worried.

He pushed her to sit on the bed, pulled the quilt and wrapped her tightly around her body, and brought her hot tea for her to hold.

Shen Ningning's fair and flawless face couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"I'm not a porcelain doll, why are you so nervous?"

"Of course I'm afraid that you'll get sick right now and your fairyland won't be able to be used anymore. If something happens to you right now, I'm afraid..." Before Mo Lingwei could finish his words, his brows were already deeply furrowed.

But Shen Ningning understood what he meant.

The situation is too chaotic, and the enemy is hiding in the dark. They don't know his location for the time being, and the danger is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, which may fall at any time.

Shen Ningning's expression paled, and she took the initiative to hold Mo Lingwei's hand.

"Brother, I'm not afraid, and nothing will happen to me, because I know that when you face it with me, I won't be alone."

Mo Lingwei was startled, and a smile escaped from his thin lips: "Of course."

As he spoke, his eyes gradually became dark and firm: "I will be by your side at any time."

Shen Ningning walked to the window and looked at the pouring rain outside.

In fact, what she was really worried about now was whether the Black Eagle would come as promised.

If she could get the Mingguang Heart before Tian Qiuzhen, everything would be easy.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the yard, and the secret guards suddenly appeared and gathered at the door.

Mo Lingwei asked from across the door: "What happened?"

At the entrance of the courtyard, Mr. Cui was blocking the officers and soldiers wearing raincoats. The two parties were noisy.

The secret guards listened for a moment, then turned back to the room and said: "Your Highness, according to the officers and soldiers, they seem to be here to arrest someone."

"Arrests?"

"Yes, they said that the Ren family sued the government, saying that the princess pushed Miss Ren Er into the water, causing Miss Ren Er to drown. There was also evidence from Ren Er's maid. The officers and soldiers came to take the princess to the Yamen to cooperate. Investigate this matter."

Mo Lingwei frowned: "That's ridiculous! It's so lawless. How dare you be charged with such a crime?"

Shen Ningning's white face was blank.

She didn't know when Ren Er died, so why was he still involved with her?

No need to think about it, everyone can guess that this is a trick of Prefect Ren.

He must have found out that Shen Ningning and the others had left the Ren Mansion, so they sent people to the Cui Mansion to ask for people. They were also afraid of a conflict because they didn't know how weak Shen Ningning was, so they came to test them.

Mo Lingwei turned to Shen Ningning and said, "You leave from the window now, and I'll have someone take you out of here first."

"Escape?" Shen Ningning remained motionless and raised her watery eyes to look at him: "Tian Qiuzhen must be giving advice to Prefect Ren behind the scenes. He forcibly opened the protection system and affected the help that Fairyland gave me, but he is not sure about this protection system. What is the extent of it, so it must be a test for them to do this.”

Saying that, Shen Ningning smiled bitterly: "If I leave, it will prove that I am afraid. Then they will unscrupulously hurt the people around us."

Under Mo Lingwei's sharp eyebrows, his thin eyes were thick and dark: "Then I will no longer hide my identity and tell them that I am the prince. Anyone who dares to touch me will be executed immediately!"

He waved his sleeves and his momentum was thunderous.

But Shen Ningning stepped forward and pressed his hand.

"Don't be like this," the girl's eyes were bright and moving: "Lingshan City is blocked from all sides. It is no different from a dead city. Before your soldiers come in, brother, don't act rashly."

Lest they encounter something more difficult.

Mo Lingwei frowned and saw Shen Ningning put on a thin cloak: "Are you going to go to the government with them?"

"I have to go, and only after I go do I know who is behind the scenes, and that person will definitely be watching from the dark." Shen Ningning said, raising her head slightly, her beautiful eyes full of sharpness.

She said and turned to tell Mo Lingwei.

"The target of this group of people is now on me. The patrols on the Tianshan Mountains are bound to be weakened. Brother, please send people to the Tianshan Mountains to look for Snow Lotus at this time, but be sure to pay attention to safety."

I heard from Black Eagle that the location where the snow lotus grows happens to be on the top of the cliff.

The secret guards may not be able to go up smoothly.

Mo Lingwei nodded: "I will leave these matters to Mr. Cui, and then accompany you to the government office."

Shen Ningning decisively refused.

"Brother, you have to stay. If I am controlled by these people, they will not have time to target you for the time being. This is the best time for you to save us. You still have a lot of things to do and can't stay with me all the time."

Mo Lingwei certainly knew this truth.

Shen Ningning understood that he was the prince and many things could only be done by him.

General Peng's old subordinates needed him to recruit and negotiate, and he had to take advantage of this time to run around.

Mo Lingwei planned to let some of his people disguise themselves as guards under the command of the prefect Ren, so as to successfully open the city gate and let his guards into the city.

If Mo Lingwei just followed Shen Ningning, it would only be a dead end.

Both of them understood that they could only survive the crisis if they contributed their own strength and protected each other.

Mo Lingwei thought about it and suddenly took off the jade pendant on his neck and hung it on Shen Ningning's neck.

"What is this?"

"It is a relic left to me by my mother. I was born with an ominous legend. She kowtowed a thousand steps in front of the Buddha for me and sincerely asked for it for me. I have always worn it close to my body and rarely take it off. I also regard it as my talisman. Now, I hope it can protect you well."

Shen Ningning wanted to take it off immediately: "It is so valuable, I can't take it. You should wear it. Your safety is more important."

Mo Lingwei held her hand tightly.

"You are important, Shen Ningning, you are the most important person to me. Your safety is linked to my life. As long as you are fine, I will be fine."

His black eyes flickered, and Shen Ningning stared blankly.

At the door, the fierce shouts of the officers and soldiers had been heard.

Shen Ningning wore the jade pendant close to her body and put it in her lapel.

"I will be safe, and you should be fine too." After she finished speaking, she turned around and opened the door.

At that moment, thunder sounded outside, and the light of purple lightning flashed across the sky.

The sharp color illuminated the darkness in the girl's eyes.

"I'll go with you to the government office."
