Ludu City.

Juxian Manor is located in the center of Ludu City, just two streets across from the Taishou Mansion. If there is something going on in the Taishou Mansion, Juxian Manor will soon learn about it.

Ning Xiaochuan followed Deng Zhi to Juxian Manor. From the outside, Juxian Manor looked like an ordinary manor, except that the plaque on the door read the words "Juxian Manor" in gold.

Pushing open the door and entering, you are faced with a six-foot-long screen. On the screen are birds, animals, flowers, plants, and trees. It looks so beautiful.

Walking inside, you can see the gurgling stream, the rockery, the lotus pond, and the koi swimming in the pond, which is very pleasant.

Ning Xiaochuan followed Deng Zhi, admiring the beautiful scenery inside Juxian Manor and exclaiming: "The manor owner really knows how to enjoy life! It must cost a lot of money to arrange these things."

Deng Zhi, who was walking in front, smiled softly and said, "It won't cost much to decorate it simply. Master Ning, my Juxian Manor is not bad inside."

"It's quite surprising. I didn't expect that the inside of Juxian Manor would be so pleasant." Ning Xiaochuan nodded and said.

The group walked for a long time, and after crossing the pond, they arrived at their destination, the lobby of Juxian Village.

The first thing that caught his eye was a huge word "法". Ning Xiaochuan looked at Deng Zhi. It seemed that in Deng Zhi's eyes, the status of the Legalist family was still very high. He was worthy of being a direct disciple of the Legalist family. This made Ning Xiaochuan feel dissatisfied with this person.

The owner of the village looked at him differently.

Deng Zhi sat at the head of the table and couldn't help but smile when he saw Ning Xiaochuan staring at the word "法" ​​behind him, "Master Ning also knows about Legalism?"

"I don't know that much, I just heard about it a little bit." Ning Xiaochuan sat aside and said with a smile.

"Master Ning, I invite you to the manor today. I don't mean to offend you. You only need to stay in the manor for a few days. When the time is right, I will let you go." Deng Zhi looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said loudly.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Deng Zhi with some confusion, "Master, what do you mean? It's as simple as inviting me here to drink tea and enjoy the scenery?"

Deng Zhi waved his hand to the servants around him to retreat. After the people around him retreated, he looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said, "Master Ning, you are the son of the Duke of Liguo. I am just the owner of a small Juxian Village in Ludu."

, even if you give me ten courages, I would not dare to commit evil with Li Guo.

But the higher-ups have spoken, and I can neither disobey the higher-ups nor offend Duke Li, so I came up with this idea."

"What does the above mean? Is it the meaning of the governor of Ludu, the meaning of Luzhou Mu, or the meaning of the king of Jingbei?" Ning Xiaochuan said with a frown.

Deng Zhi laughed loudly and said, "Master Ning, stop guessing and rest for a few days. The conditions here are much better than those in the inn outside. I guarantee you will like it."

"Then what if I don't stay at Juxian Villa? Do you still want to force me to stay?" Ning Xiaochuan chuckled and continued to ask.

After hearing what Ning Xiaochuan said, Deng Zhi smiled again, "Master Ning, I think you will stay. After all, the lives of so many people outside are in your hands. You are the son of Duke Li, but they are not."

"You threaten me..." Ning Xiaochuan stood up and stared at Deng Zhi and said.

"I don't dare. I hope Master Ning can understand that this is not only related to your safety, but also to the safety of my Juxian Village. Therefore, I feel wronged to you." Deng Zhi stood up and said with his hands in hand.

Ning Xiaochuan finally understood Deng Zhi's intention. He didn't want to antagonize the Ning family, nor did he want to offend the officials who gave him orders, so he decided to put himself under house arrest. To a certain extent, this was indeed a good idea.

But Ning Xiaochuan was thinking that the person who could make Deng Zhi so fearful must be a high-ranking official, and in Luzhou and even in the north, the only one who had issues with him was King Jingbei.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaochuan smiled slightly and said, "Then follow the owner's arrangements."

"Come here, take Master Ning down to rest." Deng Zhi said, and soon, Ning Xiaochuan was taken down to rest.

…

In the inn, Nie Hongyi walked around the room anxiously, Kong Zhenxuan was deeply obsessed with Kong Zhenqing's death, and Song Jing was lying on the bed as if it had nothing to do with him.

Although the remaining Su Su and Su Min were worried, there was nothing they could do as they were two weak little girls.

"Mr. Song, aren't you worried that the young master has been gone for so long and there is still no news? How about I go to Juxian Manor to have a look?" Nie Hongyi said worriedly.

Song Jing stood up and shook his head, "Don't worry, it will definitely be fine. Even if a small Juxian Village is given a hundred courages, it would not dare to attack the prince of the current dynasty. They brought the five boys here at this time."

Juxian Village is nothing more than a cover-up."

"Having said that, I'm really worried about not seeing the young master." Nie Hongyi said with a frown.

Song Jing sighed helplessly, "You guys are too impatient. Just wait, there will be news coming from Juxian Village soon."

"Ah?" Nie Hongyi looked at Song Jing in surprise, somewhat disbelieving.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the inn. Song Jing smiled softly and said, "Here we come."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded outside the door, "I have gathered the disciples of Juxian Village to deliver a message under the order of the village owner."

Nie Hongyi opened the door vigilantly, and there was indeed a disciple of Juxian Village outside. The disciple handed Nie Hongyi a letter, then cupped his hand and quickly retreated.

Nie Hongyi opened the letter and after reading the content, her frown slowly relaxed, "This is a letter from Deng Zhi, the owner of Juxian Village. He asked us to be calm and calm. The young master is safe in Juxian Village."

, I’ll be back in a few days.”

"Let me tell you, Juxian Manor will definitely not dare to harm the five boys. Let's take a good rest these days." Song Jing stretched out and turned around to sleep.

That's what he said, but besides Song Jing, who can really feel relieved, especially Nie Hongyi and Su Su.

Su Min took Su Su's arm and stared at Su Su with an innocent look on her face, "Sister Su Su, is the young master really okay?"

"It will definitely be fine. Young Master Jiren has his own destiny." Su Su touched Su Min's little head and said with a smile.

Su Min nodded and Su Su smiled. He didn't have much confidence in his heart. Now he just hoped that Ning Xiaochuan would be fine.

…

During these few days in Juxian Manor, Ning Xiaochuan was not idle either. He relied on the soul-fixing incense collected in Xiangshan to slowly increase his strength. This soul-fixing incense is indeed a treasure to assist in cultivation. The true energy absorbed in just a few days

It would take a month to absorb even more.

But while his strength is growing rapidly, the consumption of Soul-fixing Incense is also extremely rapid. One-fifth of the half-pot of Soul-fixing Incense collected is now gone. No wonder the tiger values ​​​​his Soul-fixing Incense so much. It turns out that's the case.

, this soul-fixing incense is really worth thousands of gold.

Taking a long breath, Ning Xiaochuan moved his muscles and bones, and his body suddenly made a crackling sound. This was the sound of muscles and bones stretching. He has been on the road these days. Although he is also practicing, the effect is definitely not as good as calming down.

He stood up and came to the door. As soon as he opened the door, the disciple of Juxian Village at the door appeared in front of Ning Xiaochuan, "Master Ning, where are you going?"

"I just went out and someone came. Don't be so nervous. Besides, I'm really bored in the room all day. Juxian Manor is so big. I want to see it without going out. That's okay.

"Ning Xiaochuan smiled at the disciples of Juxian Village and said, looking harmless to humans and animals.

The disciple at the door looked at Ning Xiaochuan and was very embarrassed, "Master Ning, the master of this village has an order, I..."

"Hey, let's see, the owner of the village means that I won't be allowed to leave the gate of Juxian Village. As for you, just take me around the village of Juxian without going out. You, the owner of the village, won't say anything."

Ning Xiaochuan continued to say with a smile.

The disciple at the door was very embarrassed. He naturally knew Ning Xiaochuan's identity and did not dare to offend him. He could only look at Ning Xiaochuan helplessly and said, "Okay, Master Ning, please promise me not to wander around."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Ning Xiaochuan put his hands behind his back and walked out.

The disciple of Juxian Village took Ning Xiaochuan around in Juxian Village. It has to be said that this Juxian Village is indeed big, much bigger than Ning Mansion.

As they walked, the two came to a rockery. In front of the rockery, they saw all Juxianzhuang disciples standing guard, all of them fully armed and with serious expressions.

Ning Xiaochuan leaned on the wooden pile, pointed to the rockery in front of him and said, "Hey, does this rockery hide the treasure of your Juxian Village? So many people are watching, tsk tsk..."

"Master Ning, you can go anywhere in the village, but you must not enter this rockery. No one knows what is inside except the village owner." The disciples of Juxian Village looked at the rockery with fear in their eyes.

Deng Zhi attaches great importance to this rockery.

"Understood, this is a taboo place in your Juxian Village, I understand." Ning Xiaochuan nodded, turned and left.

The Juxian Village disciple followed Ning Xiaochuan and said, "You don't know, I heard from the seniors that there was once a disciple who accidentally slept outside the rockery one night because he drank too much. The village owner found out about it.

, was immediately thrown into the trap, I heard that this disciple was a great contributor to assisting the village owner in establishing Juxian Village."

"This Deng Zhi's heart is really ruthless. If a living person says that he is sinking into the pond, he will sink into the pond. Tsk tsk..." Ning Xiaochuan shook his head with some emotion.

"Since then, no one dares to go to the rockery. No one even dares to get close to the rockery." The disciple shook his head and said.

Ning Xiaochuan stopped, looked back at the rockery, and said thoughtfully: "Brother, do you think your village owner will kill me if I go in?"

"Master Ning, please don't joke with me here. This... you are harming me." These words frightened the disciples of Juxian Village, and their eyes changed when they looked at Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan laughed loudly and patted his disciple on the shoulder, "I saw that I scared you, so I was joking with you. I will not joke with my own life."

The disciple of Juxian Village sighed with relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You really scared me to death."

Ning Xiaochuan pursed his lips and smiled, but became more cautious in his heart.
