Qi Ning stood up and walked towards Ximen Zhanying without saying a word. Anao was about to stop her, but Qi Ning immediately stared at her, his eyes were like daggers, and the coldness was overwhelming. Anao was actually struck by Qi Ning's dagger-like gaze. He was stunned and didn't dare to stop him.

Qining walked to Ximen Zhanying and saw that goosebumps were already appearing on her snow-white skin. He knew that although there was a fire in the room, it was the cold winter after all, and even an iron-clad body would catch the cold if the skin was exposed. , not to mention Ximen Zhanying, seeing that her clothes had been cut randomly by Anao just now, he could only take off his own coat and put it on Ximen Zhanying first.

Ximen Zhanying was a little surprised. He raised his head and glanced at Qining. His eyes were still red and the tears on his cheeks were not dry. However, he saw Qining smiling gently at him. This smile Ximen Zhanying had never seen on Qining's face before. However, for some reason, seeing Qi Ning beside her, she felt a sense of security in her heart.

Qi Ning put on Ximen Zhanying's clothes to hide his beauty, and then turned around and said: "Poison King, do you think this will work? Anyway, this woman has no effect, she is just a small official in the Shenhou Mansion, you can forget it If you keep it in their hands, the Shenhou Mansion won't take it seriously. They are interested in me, and with me as a hostage, you, master and disciple, will definitely be able to escape safely."

Swing Yi turned his head and gave a weird smile.

Qi Ning smiled and said: "Look, this woman has no brains at all, and her martial arts skills are very poor. She is stupid, stupid and useless. She is a burden if she is left in her hands."

When Ximen Zhanying heard this, he couldn't help but glared at Qining, but he knew in his heart that Qining said this deliberately just to make Zhuqianyi let him go first.

She had only found Qin Ning indescribably annoying before, but now she felt that this guy was quite pleasing to her eyes.

Anao didn't wait for Zhuo Qianyi to speak, and already smiled and said: "Master, he said that this woman is stupid, stupid and useless, and the Shenhou Mansion won't care about it. I think it makes sense. Since the Shenhou Mansion doesn't care about her, let's keep it in our hands. I don’t think it’s too much, so why not...!” He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, “Why don’t you kill her and turn her into corpse powder?”

Qi Ning was surprised, but Swing Yi had already said: "When it's time to let it go, I will let it go naturally." He raised his hand and waved to Qi Ning: "Come here!"

Qi Ning patted Ximen Zhanying's shoulder gently to express comfort, then walked over and sat down opposite Swing Yi.

"We haven't finished what we just said." Zhu Qianyi stared at Qining with a profound gaze, "You said that someone in the court advocated the suppression of the holy religion. Who are those officials? Is it the emperor?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "The emperor will naturally not make a decision easily, but the Huainan King Nagan strongly advocates the use of force against the Black Lotus Holy Cult."

But he was thinking in his heart that the Black Lotus Holy Sect is mysterious and unpredictable. Even old poisoners like Zhu Qianyi are members of the Black Lotus Holy Sect. In addition, it is said that the leader of the Black Lotus Holy Sect is still a great master. No matter whether the imperial court finally decides whether If we really want to conquer the Black Lotus Holy Sect, it would not be wrong to make the Black Lotus Holy Sect hate King Huainan first.

"King Huainan?" Zhuo Qianyi frowned and said, "Does he really want to destroy my holy religion?" He smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

"Poison King, I have something to ask you. Has your Black Lotus Holy Cult forged any deep grudge against King Huainan?" Qining asked, "King Huainan has been admonishing the emperor from the very beginning. Put your Black Lotus Holy Sect to death."

"A deep grudge?" Zhuo Qianyi sneered and said, "The Holy Cult only operates in Xichuan, and it has never been in trouble with the government. Although I have heard of the King of Huainan you mentioned, I have never seen him, let alone What kind of hatred do you have against him?"

Before the matter was fully understood, King Huainan had already strongly advocated for the imperial court to use troops against the Black Lotus Holy Sect. Qining had always found it strange that if King Huainan did not have another agenda, then he must have some grudge against the Black Lotus Holy Sect. How could such a dignified prince have any quarrel with the border Miao gang

At this time, hearing Zhuo Qianyi say this, I felt even more confused.

"There was originally some room for maneuver in this matter." Qining sighed, "But... Poison King, with all due respect, if you break into the Shenhou Mansion this time, I am afraid that you have caused great disaster for the Black Lotus Sect. "

Zhuo Qianyi's eyes were deep and sharp, and he said: "Are you saying that I broke into the Shenhou Mansion and robbed the prison, which further confirmed my guilt?"

Qi Ning thought that you, an old poisoner, understood, and nodded: "Yes. The epidemic spread in the capital, and many people died. The court already knew that someone poisoned it, and the poisonous egg poison in the poison came from the Yin and Yang world. Golden Gu Insect, Poison King, you cultivated this golden Gu Insect, that’s right, right?”

Zhu Qianyi sneered: "Not bad."

"The imperial court has discovered the poison and has focused its suspicion on the Poison King and even the Black Lotus Holy Cult. However, the emperor is wise and does not determine that everything is the work of the Black Lotus Holy Cult just because it is a poisonous egg." Qi Ning said slowly: " The King of Huainan and others are bent on annihilating the Black Lotus Holy Sect, but the emperor will not issue an order easily before the real murderer is identified. But this time Anao was arrested, and Poison King you broke into the Shenhou Mansion to save people, I am afraid that even Even a fool would guess that it was you, the Poison King of Jiuxi, who saved people."

Zhu Qianyi's face felt cold, but then he smiled coldly and said: "What can I do if I know?"

"If the Poison King says this, I have no choice." Qi Ning said: "The Shenhou Mansion is investigating whether the poisoning has anything to do with the Black Lotus Holy Cult. It would be better if you don't show up sooner or later. It's just at this juncture. You ran to the capital, and even broke in to save people. Now Ximen Shenhou must have reported the matter to the court. Since the court knows that you rescued Anao, do you think it will still suspect that this matter has nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect? ?"

Zhu Qianyi raised his hand and pinched the beard under his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that things are really what I thought. This time it was Ximen Wuhen who set a trap."

"Ximen Wuhen set a trap?" Qi Ning frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Qianyi chuckled and said, "I thought you had some brains, but it seems you are stupid." He glanced at Ximen Zhanying and asked, "What is the relationship between that girl and Ximen Wuhen?"

"What's the relationship?" Qi Ning wanted to conceal Ximen Zhanying's identity to avoid other incidents. Hearing Zhuo Qianyi's sudden question, he was a little surprised and thought to himself that this old poisonous man might have seen something. On his face, he still smiled calmly and said, "He's just an official of the Shenhou Mansion."

Zhuo Qianyi stared at Qining's eyes and said with a smile: "The Shenhou Mansion has strict rules and regulations, and there is a well-organized advance and retreat. Of all the people present, this girl is the only one who dares to take action without permission. This alone is enough to show that she is not an ordinary official." Looking at Ximen Zhan. Ying Ying glanced at him, not caring that Ximen Zhanying was staring at him with a cold and stern gaze, Zhu Qianyi suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, he is Ximen Wuhen's daughter."

Qi Ning secretly thought that this old poisoner was really powerful. Before he could say anything, Zhuo Qianyi stared at Qining again and said, "Do you know that the people in the Shenhou Mansion did not lie? Since the establishment of the Shenhou Mansion, no one has ever dared to speak in Shenhou Mansion." The prince's mansion robs people."

Qi Ning smiled and said: "Isn't the Poison King the number one person?"

"Then do you know why no one dares to break into the Shenhou Mansion?"

Qi Ning thought to himself that the Shenhou Mansion was famous, and no one in the world knew about it. If he really wanted to bring bad luck to the Shenhou Mansion, he would be restless day and night from now on, so he just smiled and did not answer.

"Hey, of course you can't see that the layout of the Shenhou Mansion is built according to the formation." Zhu Qianyi said: "People who don't know the art can't see its power, but those who know the art can see that the Shenhou The layout of the mansion is the Six Ding Liujia Formation. If you want to enter the Shenhou Mansion, if you don't understand the formation and break in without permission, you will be asking for death."

Qi Ning and Ximen Zhanying both changed their colors slightly.

Qining went to Shenhou Mansion several times and never thought that the layout of Shenhou Mansion was related to the formation. He glanced at Ximen Zhanying and saw her expression, and knew that even Ximen Zhanying didn't know this.

"I sneaked into the Shenhou Mansion without any obstruction, but if the Shenhou Mansion activates the formation, I might be able to escape alone, but if I take Anao with me, there is only a 50% chance." Zhu Qianyi said slowly: "I I have always wondered why it was so easy to sneak into the prestigious Shenhou Mansion."

Qi Ning vaguely felt that the matter might be more shocking than he imagined, and asked: "Poison King, what do you mean by this?"

"I haven't figured this out at the time, but I have figured it out just now. The purpose of Shenhou Mansion's arrest of Anao is not on Anao, but on me." Zhu Qianyi's eyes were cold, sharp under the firelight. Incomparably, "Ximen Wuhen used Anao as bait to attract me to rescue people."

Qi Ning was surprised and asked: "You mean Queen Ximen knows that you are in the capital?"

"Maybe he can't be sure, but no matter whether I'm here or not, using Anao as a guide, you can naturally determine my whereabouts." Zhuqian Yi said coldly: "Ximen Wuhen knows more than you think. He must have seen it. Knowing Anao's identity, I also know that if I were in the capital, I would not abandon her."

Anao had already come over at this time, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, you said they used me as bait to lure you out? If so, why didn't they set up an ambush early, and why? Waiting for you to fight into the cell and rescue me?"

Zhuo Qianyi glanced at her and said calmly: "If there is an ambush, do you think I can't detect it? Although Ximen Wuhen's methods are not weak, if you want to catch me, you have to weigh your own weight." He paused. He paused and smiled coldly: "And his goal is not to capture me. As long as I enter the Shenhou Mansion, his goal will have been achieved."

Anao was still a little confused, but Qi Ning vaguely understood, and asked with a solemn expression: "You mean, the purpose of Ximen Shenhou is to confirm that the epidemic in the capital is related to you?"

Zhuo Qianyi nodded and said: "Yes, as long as I enter the Shenhou Mansion, it doesn't matter whether you can catch me. If you catch me and the Jiuxi Poison King falls into the hands of the Shenhou Mansion, then the Shenhou Mansion wants to No matter what kind of charges can be put on my head. If I get away, they can still tell the emperor that Anao has accomplices and broke into the Shenhou Mansion to rob people. Of course the court will believe that the Holy Religion is behind the matter." Twisting his beard, he chuckled and said: "I have a hostage in my hand, and he also knows that once a fight breaks out, some people in the Shenhou Mansion will inevitably die. In this case, it is better to let me go, just because he has already achieved his goal. Reached." He glanced at Ximen Zhanying and sneered: "If he just wants to kill me, even if his daughter is in my hands, he won't have the slightest scruple."

Qi Ning's heart felt cold. Although he couldn't believe what Zhuo Qianyi said was true, if it was true, then Ximen Wuhen's scheming was really too deep.

Ximen Wuhen wants to confirm that the epidemic in the capital is related to the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and he also points the finger at the Black Lotus Holy Sect just like the King of Huainan. Is it possible that Ximen Wuhen is actually in the same group as the Huainan King
