"Drink?" Jiang Ning frowned.

It was past midnight after returning last night, and the courtyard was almost tidied up. Zhou Yong, Song Wan, and others knelt in front of the door, begging Jiang Ning for mercy and punishment.

Jiang Ning helped several people up and said frankly that the fault of this matter was not theirs, and that the incident happened suddenly and could not be predicted at all. Since Princess Changping was dead, the matter should be dropped. If you really want to atone for your sins, the best way is

It was to break into the Manichean sect, collect enough information, and pass it on to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Jiang Ning took out a letter from his arms. It was written by Xia Yongkang himself. This letter was also obtained yesterday. The letter said that they should fully cooperate with the army of the Ministry of War to regain Jinling. The news could be sent to the deputy general of the army, Tan

Zhen.

After everyone read it, they were all filled with joy. The letter written by the right prime minister was enough to prove their status in the heart of the right prime minister.

Jiang Ning said: "Intelligence work is very important. It may directly determine the direction of this war. Therefore, regardless of whether you are going to give up or not, you still have to work hard. A piece of information may save thousands of people."

Several people felt guilty, but they had no choice but to make meritorious deeds. Zhou Yong was fully responsible for the relevant work and naturally wanted to take charge of the overall situation. Under everyone's strong request, Song Wan became Jiang Ning's personal bodyguard.

Jiang Ning entered the house, and did not open it until the officers and soldiers knocked on the door. His eyes were red, and he must have been up all night. After the officers and soldiers explained their intention, Jiang Ning looked at the ten soldiers in the courtyard and frowned.

"Do you know what it is?" Jiang Ning asked: "Princess Jinzhi and Ning Buhui and I are old acquaintances. Can the military master reveal anything?"

As he spoke, Jiang Ning took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the officer's hand.

"I really don't know." But the bag was still opened.

Jiang Ning put the money into his pocket and said, "Did you say you wanted me to be alone?"

The officer hesitated for a moment: "I never said that."

"Then, Song Wan, come with me." Jiang Ning said, taking out another ingot of silver and stuffing it in: "Brothers, I'll treat you to a drink tonight."

"Well, okay, let's go." The officer nodded and got out of the way.

The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the more something was wrong. The last time he escaped, he escaped from the cynical Li Tianding. The two had no intersection, so how could he invite him to drink? Could it be that the Hongmen Banquet was not possible?

"Jiang Ning, where are you going?" Zhao Xing led a group of people to buy goods on the road, but saw Jiang Ning walking towards him and said hello.

Although he hates Jiang Ning to death, after knowing the whole story, there is nothing wrong with it. He has also read half of the book, but it is a true insight. Even Zhao Xing wants to break his head, no, he has never thought of this in his whole life.

management style.

Princess Changping died last night. Although Jiang Ning killed six people in the villa, he later realized that there were extenuating circumstances, so he greeted Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning stepped forward and took Zhao Xing's hand, but Zhao Xing was shocked by the sudden handshake. Because ancient etiquette was all about saluting, what does a handshake mean?

"It's okay. I went to have a drink with this military master. He said that General Li Tiandingli had reserved a table at Zuixian Tower, laid out the wine, and invited me over. Is Brother Zhao interested in going with us? I heard that the wine there is delicious and delicious.

Very good." Jiang Ning smiled and quickly sketched on Zhao Xing's hand with the middle finger of his right hand.

Zhao Xing's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Oh? Li Tianding? He rarely invites people to drink. Master, you are so proud of yourself. I won't go. It's really hard for you to be elegant."

"Oh, by the way, there is a dish in Zuixianlou, which is a famous dish in Jinling. It's called Drunken Duck. You can try it, sir. It tastes good. I guarantee you won't be able to stop..." Zhao Xing said again.

Jiang Ning shook Zhao Xing's hand three times and said, "I'll definitely..."

He immediately let go of his hand and headed straight towards Zuixian Tower. In addition to Song Wan, there were ten of Li Tianding's soldiers behind him.

Zhao Xing turned around, walked to the fortune-telling table, picked up a brush and drew on the paper.

Zuixian Tower, the most famous of which is Zuiya, was the first to be opened after the city was destroyed in Jinling. Because it was the property of the Nangong family, many banquets were held in Zuixian Tower, and gradually it became an official place.

It is a gathering place, and opposite the Zuixian Tower is the Qinhuai River. The melody of the Qinhuai River can be carried into the Zuixian Tower along with the wind, which is very pleasant.

The spring sunshine was just right, and the streets had already returned to normal. This was the first time Jiang Ning had stepped out in the past few days, and was actually "invited" to drink. It was really ridiculous.

Not long after, we arrived in front of the Zuixian Tower. A three-story restaurant was magnificently located on the bank of the Qinhuai River. Although it was not yet noon, there was already an endless stream of people coming and going.

There are merchants, soldiers, talented people, and officials from the Yongle Dynasty in the hall. Although they don't have official uniforms, you can still feel something from their aura.

"Please..." The officers and soldiers took Jiang Ning to the second floor and turned around the stairs. Jiang Ning saw a man sitting not far away, with a silver gun standing beside him. Six dishes were already served on the dining table, and two soldiers

At the top of the stairs, two people stood behind the man, and the other six people stood in front of the six windows.

That man was none other than Li Tianding.

"Coming?" Li Tianding glanced at Jiang Ning and raised his hand: "Sit down."

Song Wan followed in, but was stopped by two soldiers at the entrance of the stairs. Jiang Ning told him to wait here, and he could clearly see the movement on the second floor from here.

"There's no need to eat. If General Li has anything to do, it's the same thing here." Jiang Ning stood in the hall and spoke. The people at the remaining tables looked at the two of them.

"It's nothing. Before you die, I want to ask you a question." Li Tianding said very calmly, without even raising his head.

"Wow..." Four more people stood up, but they were all well-known people in the world.

"Before I die?" Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, but for a moment, he leaned down and suddenly completed a 180-degree turn. He kicked off his feet, and in an instant he jumped over two feet towards the stairs.

Two of his soldiers rushed towards him.

When Song Wan saw it, what did it mean? A gesture of escaping?

And the four Jianghu people were also stunned. Not only them, but Li Tianding was also stunned. What happened? He ran away without saying anything? This... what does this mean...

But then again, if you want to kill him, wouldn't it be possible for him to stretch his neck out for you to chop him without running away? But Jiang Ning's speed is really too fast.

"How brave..." One person was holding a Yanyue Sword. His feet shook, and he suddenly flew up and struck Jiang Ning with the sword.

When Song Wan saw this, he formed fists with his hands and punched the soldier beside him. The soldier was also stunned by Jiang Ning's comical escape scene. Before he could react, Song Wan's fists had already hit the back of his heart, and a blow

Blood spurted out, but he was injured.

Taking advantage of your illness, I will kill you. How could Song Wan stop? He drew the knife with his left hand and threw it out. With his right hand, he grabbed the simple knife from the hand of the fallen soldier and blocked the attack of the other person.

"Ping ping ping pong..."

In the blink of an eye, the two have fought for four rounds.
