The prince is very cruel

Chapter 478

"Brother Nie, could you introduce me to the ancestors of the Ba people?"

"Don't worry, my trip is not in vain. I can bring the Ba people what they want, and I will not let them suffer any loss." He said confidently.

Nie Nan shook his head.

"Brother Ning, it's too formal for you to say that."

"I can still say something to the old ancestor. So, I won't say anything more. Let's go to Bashan to see the old ancestor tomorrow morning."

"I'll introduce you, but Brother Ning, be prepared. The ancestor will definitely ask you some questions, such as your origins and why His Majesty is hunting you down."

Guan Ning was filled with gratitude upon hearing this. Nie Nan was truly a man of integrity. Who else would dare to wade into such muddy water? Regardless of whether this matter could succeed or not, he owed Nie Nan a big favor.

"Okay, Brother Nie, don't worry."

"I will tell you the truth when the time comes."

"This glass of wine is for you. If you ever achieve enlightenment, I will never forget Brother Nie's kindness."

As he said this, he drank it all in one gulp.

Nie Nan also picked up a glass of wine: "Hey, Brother Ning, you're too polite. I just introduced you, it's not a big help. The ancestor is actually a bit moody, so I can't guarantee anything, so..."

"I understand." Guan Ning nodded.

Nie Nan felt relieved when he saw that he understood.

"..."

At three quarters past You, the drinking party ended.

Nie Nan arranged the best guest room for the two of them to stay in. Although it was only for one night, it was still of the highest standard.

But Guan Ning did not rest immediately. Instead, he washed his face with cold water and found rice paper, brush and ink.

He was going to meet the ancestor of the Ba people tomorrow. Things were progressing faster than he had imagined. After all, he had Nie Nan's help. But help was help, and that was to meet the ancestor. It did not mean that the ancestor would be willing to help him return to the capital.

In order to ask such a person to help "endorse" him, Guan Ning naturally could not go empty-handed, so he had to make preparations for both situations.

The light in his room was not turned off until almost midnight.

The next day.

Qincheng is sunny and the air in this small mountain town is great, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Early in the morning, the convoy was waiting outside the mansion.

"Brother Ning, you're awake now. How was last night? Did you sleep well?" Nie Nan asked.

Guan Ning laughed: "Haha, very comfortable, just like home."

"That's good, that's good. The road to Bashan is going to be difficult, and it will take several days, and we even have to cross Shufeng. Thank you, Brother Ning."

His politeness made Guan Ning feel a little embarrassed.

"Where are you talking?"

"I came here to ask for help, so why would I complain that the road is difficult?"

"Come on, get in the carriage first and we'll talk on the way."

"it is good!"

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ning was about to get on the carriage, but he had just lifted one foot.

A scabbard popped out from the carriage, directly blocking Guan Ning's steps from getting on the carriage.

"You go down."

"Brother Nie, come up."

Lou Xinyue's voice was cold and unceremonious.

Suddenly, there was silence all around.

Guan Ning's mouth twitched fiercely. What does this woman mean?

"Is this carriage yours?"

Lou Xinyue said indifferently: "It's not yours anyway, just go to the back and ride your horse."

"What if I don't?" Guan Ning had already stepped forward with one foot. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he stepped back?

"You try it." Lou Xinyue's voice was threatening, making people shudder.

Nie Nan and others on the side tried to hold back their laughter.

Nie Nan wanted to step forward to help and say something nice, but Guan Ning jumped down and straightened his clothes: "Humph, if you won't let me stay here, I'll find another place that will!"

"Brother Ning..." Nie Nan gave an awkward smile, not knowing what to say.

"It's okay, I don't like sitting with this woman." Guan Ning said stubbornly.

Nie Nan smiled bitterly, finally got on the carriage, and called his men to set off.

The Shu land is full of endless mountains and dangerous passes. Guan Ning had previously traveled by water and could only see the difficulties with his eyes, but this time, he felt firsthand how difficult the Shu road was!

There is no official road here. All the passages were dug by the locals themselves or walked out. They are far less solid than official roads and not flat enough. It hurts your butt to ride a horse on them.

If all the roads were like this, it would just be a pain in the butt.

But there are not many roads like this in the whole Shu area. Most of them are rugged mountain roads, the kind that will smash you to pieces if you are not careful.

By the second day, Guan Ning's inner thighs were covered with blisters from rubbing against the horse's back, but Lou Xinyue refused to let Guan Ning get on the carriage.

No one knows why, but she can't get along with Guan Ning, no matter what!

I don’t even eat from the same pot!

At noon the next day, when passing through a basin, Guan Ning's butt just felt comfortable for a cup of tea.

Suddenly, a huge peak appeared in the distance, crossing the sky and cutting the road in half!

Its towering and terrifying height makes people feel insignificant.

The convoy of more than a dozen people all stopped. Nie Nan jumped off the carriage and said, "Brother Ning, we have reached Shufeng. From now on, we can no longer use the carriage or horses. We have to walk."

Hearing this, Guan Ning was shocked: "You're not going to tell me that we have to climb over this mountain, are you?"

Nie Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then nodded.

Gulu!

Guan Ning swallowed hard, his face full of horror. This Shu Peak has already pierced into the clouds. How can he climb it?

At this time, Lou Xinyue also jumped off the carriage, dressed in white, her clothes were whiter than snow. No matter when, she was always so cold, aloof and beautiful.

The words were tinged with sarcasm: "Everyone came here for your cause, but you are still disgusted with it."
