Qi Ning became wary when he saw Jiang Mantian today. This was not because he knew Jiang Mantian well, but because he had always been wary of Jiang Suiyun.
When Jiang Suiyun entered the capital, everyone thought it was Zhuo Qingyang who recommended him to the capital as an official. Qi Ning also thought so at first. Moreover, Jiang Suiyun defected to the King of Huainan. Qi Ning also thought it was the political investment of the Jiang family.
But Qining has not forgotten what happened in Qionglin Academy that night.
The night Zhuo Qingyang was injured and disappeared, he left behind the "Ksitigarbha Music Score". Jiang Suiyun also appeared at Qionglin Academy that night, and even rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Zhuo Qingyang's bamboo house in search of things.
What happened that night remains a mystery to this day.
Zhuo Qingyang was attacked by a group of assassins of unknown origin. When Qining found him, Zhuo Qingyang was already seriously injured. Zhuo Qingyang owned the Bone Pattern Sword, which ranked second among the top ten famous swords. He was a master of swordsmanship and was also This surprised Qining.
In the eyes of the world, Zhuo Qingyang is a great figure in the literary world. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and is recognized as a great scholar in the world. However, no one knows that Zhuo Qingyang is actually a swordsman with superb swordsmanship.
But those assassins knew about it beforehand, and they took advantage of Zhuo Qingyang's weakness and manipulated Mo Yan, which resulted in Zhuo Qingyang being seriously injured.
Later, when Zhuo Qingyang was injured, he disappeared without a trace with his sword, leaving only the clue of "Ksitigarbha Music Score". Qining also successfully obtained the "Ksitigarbha Music Score", which has not yet been revealed. Unravel the mystery.
Qi Ning has not forgotten that Jiang Suiyun also sneaked into the academy at night and searched in the bamboo house. If nothing else happened, Qi Ning believed that what Jiang Suiyun was looking for was the "Ksitigarbha Music Score", and that night he attacked Zhuo Qing. Yang's assassin also wants to snatch something from Zhuo Qingyang. If Qi Ning can't judge anything unexpected, it should also be related to the "Ksitigarbha Music Score". Because of this, Qi Ning has always suspected that there is something hidden in the "Ksitigarbha Music Score". An amazing secret.
Qi Ning did not dare to judge lightly whether Jiang Suiyun was a group of assassins, but Jiang Suiyun's purpose of coming to Beijing to get close to Zhuo Qingyang was obviously not simple.
Jiang Suiyun and Jiang Mantian have a father-son relationship. Others don't know the purpose of Jiang Suiyun's visit to Beijing. It is impossible for Jiang Mantian not to know. Qining even suspects that Zhuo Qingyang's disappearance may be related to Jiang Mantian.
Qining has always been confused about what kind of mystery is hidden in this.
It was naturally impossible for Madam to know this past incident, but she also saw that Qi Ning was wary of Jiang Mantian, and whispered: "Master Marquis, you want to say that the three major families are deliberately alienated, making people think that they have little contact. But in fact, it was always secret contact?”
"These big families have thrived in the East China Sea for hundreds of years, and they were all in-laws. Their bones are broken and their tendons are connected. How can we say that there is no involvement if there is no involvement?" Qining sneered: "The East China Sea is only so big, and the economy and trade are so big. Control is in the hands of these three families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are colluding. They usually keep distance from each other deliberately, but the deep connection has never been broken. Once the critical moment comes, they will naturally stick together."
The lady nodded slightly, understood a little, and said softly: "Today at Guanchao Tower, Chen Kun was captured, and Lu Ziheng was also watched by the government. Their opponent was the Marquis again. For the three major families, this is of course It’s a big deal, so... So at this critical moment, Jiang Mantian stood up and spoke for Lu Feihang.”
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Madam, you can understand everything with just one click. She is really smart as ice and snow."
"Then why did the Marquis say that today's gifts must be accepted?" Madam asked with a hint of doubt.
Qi Ning smiled and said: "This is the East China Sea after all. Although I am a Marquis, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake."
The lady chuckled and said: "Master Hou is so powerful, so naturally he is not afraid of them."
"Madam, their move this time is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver." Qi Ning sat back on the chair and said thoughtfully: "Although they have money, such a move is really too generous. Well. Although Jin Yihou’s name is not bad, do you think it’s reasonable to throw out such a large sum of money all at once in order to solve the troubles in the Chaoguan Tower?”
"This...!" Madam hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Master Marquis, they were indeed too generous. Just now... I was shocked just now."
"This money will naturally not be used to solve the incident at the Chaoguan Tower." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Maybe they have other ideas. If I accept it, they will feel at ease, otherwise...!" Like a smile Not smiling, not saying much.
The madam wanted to ask the three major families what other thoughts they had, but Qining didn't say it clearly, and she couldn't ask more questions. He saw Qining leaning on the chair, seeming to be thinking about something, and didn't dare to speak to disrupt his thoughts for a moment. Afterwards, seeing Qi Ning frowning slightly, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, you... what are you thinking about?"
Qining came back to his senses, looked at his wife, with a beautiful face, and chuckled: "I was wondering if I should celebrate today?"
"celebrate?"
"Since then, the Tian Family Medicine Store has officially established its presence in the East China Sea, and the purpose of Madam's trip has been successfully achieved." Qi Ning turned sideways, with a hint of ambiguity between his brows: "Such a happy event, shouldn't we celebrate it well? ? Madam will stay here tonight, let’s have a good celebration.”
Madam's cheeks heated up, and she instantly understood what Qi Ning meant. Her heartbeat was pounding. She lowered her head and whispered softly: "No... we can't stay. It's not good for others to know... for others to know."
"We can't stay in the post house, and we can't go to the guild hall, so what should we do?" Qi Ning sighed and said softly: "The moon is above the willow branches, and after a date late at night, how about we find another place...!"
"Master Marquis, it's not... I don't mean what I say, it's just...!" Madam lowered her head, her chin almost touching her towering chest: "How about... or you let me think about it again, and when we... let's go back After that...!" Her last words, which seemed to be concealed, were as if she had agreed to Qi Ning's request. At this time, her face was red and her ears were red, and it was difficult to say the next word.
Qining leaned over, almost close to Madam's ear, and asked in a low voice: "What are you going back for?"
Qin Ning's breath sprayed on Madam's ear as he spoke. Madam's feeling was extremely sensitive. The breath actually made Madam feel a burning sensation on her face. She wanted to be as casual as before, But when it comes to such a topic, I can't be casual no matter what. At this time, I didn't dare to look at Qi Ning at all, and my voice was very thin: "You... you know it yourself, and you still... still ask me...!"
"I'm afraid that Madam and I are not talking about the same thing, so I have to make sure." Qining deliberately blew his breath into Madam's ears: "Tell me, what will you do after you go back?"
"That's it... that's what you said...!" The madam clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, feeling that her palms were already sweating, and stammered: "You... what you said... is what you said, but... I just can't do it now...!"
Qin Ning laughed. Seeing the beautiful woman's shy and girlish appearance, she couldn't bear it any longer. He leaned forward and kissed the lady's smooth and delicate cheek hard.
Jiang Mantian and Lu Feihang left the post house, rode in two carriages one behind the other, and turned across two streets. Lu Feihang saw Jiang Mantian's carriage turning into a secluded street from behind, and immediately asked someone to follow him and entered. In the alley, they saw Jiang Mantian's carriage stopped not far ahead. Lu Feihang got off the carriage and ran directly to Jiang Mantian's carriage. Thanks to his fat body, his movements at this time were considered agile, and he got on Jiang Mantian's carriage. The two carriages immediately moved forward one behind the other. After getting out of the box, Jiang Mantian's carriage turned left, while Lu Feihang's carriage turned right.
Jiang Mantian's carriage didn't look very impressive, even a little old, with a quaint atmosphere, but the carriage was not small. Lu Feihang entered the carriage and sat down, while Jiang Mantian sat back in the carriage, Calm and calm, he glanced at Lu Feihang and said calmly: "What do you think of our little marquis?"
Lu Feihang sat opposite Jiang Mantian, his face no longer showed the humility before, his eyes were cold, and he sneered: "If you hadn't stopped him, I would have prevented him from leaving the East China Sea."
"Can't get out of the East China Sea?" Jiang Mantian smiled calmly: "Why, do you still want to kill him?"
"You don't know the extent of Ziheng's injuries." Lu Feihang gritted his teeth and held his fat fists: "He is still in a coma. From birth to now, has he ever suffered such a big loss? How many of our big families, Have you ever suffered such a big loss?"
"Don't forget that there are not many people left in the Han family." Jiang Mantian's tone was always calm and calm: "The Han family was much more prestigious than us back then. You don't know what the outcome will be, and it doesn't count the big consequences. deficit?"
Lu Feihang's expression froze, and he snorted coldly before saying: "Didn't Suiyun also suffer a loss from this boy in the capital? He took away the position of commander of the Black Scale Battalion from him, and now Zi Heng was beaten by him again in full view of the public. In this situation, the Jinyi Qi family has already formed a deadly feud with us, and today we have to kneel at his feet...!" He slammed his fist down and sighed unwillingly.
"Brother Lu, I'm just asking you what you think of this young prince, no need to say anything else." Jiang Mantian stared at Lu Feihang.
Lu Feihang said: "It's nothing special, it's just that he inherited the title at a young age. Didn't he accept all the things we gave him?" He put his hands on his bulging belly and said disdainfully: "This boy must be I’m not sure about my relationship with that person surnamed Tian. I’m anxious to explain to you today, hehe, he’s still too young.”
Jiang Mantian was thoughtful and asked: "Do you think he is still too young?" He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said: "The news in Beijing is that this person is in tit-for-tat with the Sima family. Now he has formed a party in the court. If it is How can you, a mediocre person, have the guts to become an enemy of the Sima family?"
Lu Feihang waved his hand and said: "It is precisely because they are too young that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Previously, the King of Huainan and the Sima family fought openly and secretly. The King of Huainan was the uncle of the emperor and was very prestigious in the court. In the end, Sima Lan took care of them. Okay, do you think a mere Jinyi Hou can be the opponent of the Sima family? Today's Jinyi Qi family is not the Jinyi Qi family of the past. Without the Qinhuai Army at hand, what can this kid do to fight Sima Lan? He really doesn't have the courage. Small, but that is the courage to seek death. Mantian, if you don't believe it, let's make a bet here. In less than a year, or at most two years, this kid will die in an ugly way."
