A group of people surrounded Ning Xiaochuan, but Ning Xiaochuan was not afraid at all.

He is the fifth young master of the Ning family, and the head of the Ning family, Ning Zhi, is the Duke of the State, and his official rank reaches the rank of General Zuo Shang.

The Ning family's position as Duke of the country depends on fighting with swords and guns on the battlefield. After being in the military, Ning Xiaochuan's martial arts attainments are naturally not low.

"drink!"

A guard rushed directly towards Ning Xiaochuan and swung out his right fist. Ning Xiaochuan leaned back slightly and held the guard's right fist with his right hand. He exerted force with his left arm and hit the guard's chest. The guard struggled and was knocked away several meters.

Far.

When Prince Jingbei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. "No wonder you have the confidence to provoke me here. It turns out you are a martial artist."

"presumptuous!"

Just as the surrounding guards were about to rush forward, Prince Jingbei spoke, "Wait a minute, I will personally meet this person."

Prince Jingbei took a step forward, clenched a fist with his right hand and pointed forward, "Let me try your skills. If you can beat me, then what happened today will be wiped out."

"Write it off in one stroke? You are too naive. If I don't lose one of your arms today, I will take your surname!" Ning Xiaochuan said calmly.

The prince of Jingbei curled his mouth and rushed forward in an instant. His right fist turned into a palm and rushed straight to the door in front of Ning Xiaochuan. Ning Xiaochuan waved to greet him. In the blink of an eye, he had exchanged dozens of moves.

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound, the two men retreated at the same time, and Prince Jingbei frowned.

"This is the strength of the Condensation Realm. You are no ordinary person."

Ning Xiaochuan clapped his hands, "I have never said that I am an ordinary person. After His Highness becomes the King of Jingbei, his strength is hard to describe."

"you……"

When had the Prince of Jingbei suffered such humiliation in the north? He was slapped in the face by a kid who suddenly appeared just after arriving in Yindu. He couldn't bear this tone.

"court death!"

After saying that, Prince Jingbei used his strength again and rushed towards Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan stomped the ground with his left foot and punched out with his right fist. The two fought again, with each punch and palm hitting the same spot instantly.

"ah……"

Prince Jingbei's eyes suddenly turned red and he struck out with his palm. Ning Xiaochuan secretly thought that something was wrong and hurriedly dodged. Only to see Prince Jingbei strike the ground with his palm and a big pit appeared in the ground instantly.

Ning Xiaochuan's eyes instantly became extremely gloomy, "Are you trying to kill me..."

The Prince of Jingbei didn't say anything and rushed over again. Ning Xiaochuan clenched his fists, looked at the Prince of Jingbei who was charging towards him, and said in a cold voice: "You don't overestimate your own capabilities!"

"Bang!"

There was a sound accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and the Prince of Jingbei was knocked away by Ning Xiaochuan's punch. He flew over ten meters away. The Prince of Jingbei fell to the ground and wailed with his arms covered, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood.

Zhu Youjun shouted, "Okay!"

Ning Xiaochuan slowly walked towards Prince Jingbei. The guards around him quickly protected Prince Jingbei behind him and unsheathed their swords.

Ning Xiaochuan sneered, "Remember, the one who beat you is called Ning Xiaochuan. The son of Ning Zhi, the Duke of Li Kingdom, is not as good as the Northern Territory. Don't be too arrogant!"

After saying that, Ning Xiaochuan turned to Zhu Youjun and said, "Let's go."

The Prince of Jingbei looked at Ning Xiaochuan's back and shouted, "Ning Xiaochuan, don't forget that my surname is Gao. If I offend the royal family, your whole family will be screwed!"

But Ning Xiaochuan acted as if he didn't hear this and took Zhu Youjun away without looking back.

…

Soon, the two of them arrived at the destination of their trip, Zhenbaozhai.

Zhenbaozhai can be said to be the most luxurious and luxurious restaurant in the entire Yin capital except the imperial palace.

Many rich and noble families come here every now and then to have a delicious meal.

The entire Zhenbaozhai has five floors. The first floor contains some slightly more expensive but still affordable meals for ordinary people.

On the second floor is the private dining room. The food there is 30% more expensive than on the first floor, but of course the taste is much better.

On the third floor, there are storytelling and repertoire performances. Guests can enjoy tea and meals in their respective seats, enjoy storytelling repertoire and cultivate their sentiments.

On the fourth floor are large private rooms with luxurious and elegant decoration. Each private room is served by two to three beautiful women. When the food on the third or fourth floor is burned, it can no longer be regarded as delicacies, but should be regarded as delicacies.

Finally, there is the fifth floor. There are less than twenty rooms on the fifth floor. Each room has a separate owner. Even some dignitaries would not dare to offend these people, just like Zhongxian, the prime minister of the court.

Just have a room.

On weekdays, only Ning Yan Xiaochuan entertains guests on the fourth floor, and even Zhu Youjun and the others are on the third floor at most.

I went up to the third floor and came to a Limu elegant room. I opened the door and walked in. Sure enough, there were three people sitting inside.

Wu Zizhui, nicknamed Wu Sanbei, Hu Shangyi, the son of Hu Tongxun, an agricultural official in Yindu, and a man in white sitting upright with a fan in his hand. This man is not a son of an official, but a student of the Imperial College, Wei Zhengchun.

"Hey, Fifth Young Master Ning, Dahei, you are finally here. If you don't come, the food on the table will be cold."

Wu Zizhui smiled and greeted Ning Xiaochuan and Zhu Youjun to take a seat. Ning Xiaochuan habitually sat by the window, opened the window, and looked down from the fourth floor, almost having a panoramic view of the entire market east of Yindu.

"You kid, you are so picky on weekdays. Today, you suddenly invited such a large table of food. There must be something wrong. Tell me, what kind of difficulties did you encounter?" Zhu Youjun was carefree. After sitting down, he directly moved his chopsticks and said while eating.

.

Wu Zizhui also knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts from these people, so he didn't try to hide it anymore, "Brothers, I will tell you."

I saw Wu Zizhui placing a dagger with exquisite patterns on the table, "Brothers, look at what this is."

"Isn't it just a dagger?" Zhu Youjun said disdainfully.

I saw Wu Zizhui opening the dagger, and golden light shone instantly, "It's inlaid with gold!"

"Um?"

Ning Xiaochuan looked at the dagger and sneered, "Did you get it from your home? You're not afraid that your father will beat you."

"How is it possible? I found this under the ruins of Shan Mansion, and my father doesn't know about it yet.

Brothers, please see if you can help me sell this dagger and let me make a small profit." Wu Zizhui slowly stated the purpose of this trip.

Hu Shangyi smiled helplessly: "No wonder we were invited to dinner. It turned out to be for this reason. This gold-inlaid dagger can be sold at any gold casting shop in Yindu City, so why do you need to find us?"

"This is different. After all, this was found from the Shan Mansion. It is somewhat unclean. I don't expect you to see if there is anything you can do." Wu Zizhui looked at the others and said.

"Black market?" Zhu Youjun frowned.

Ning Xiaochuan took the dagger and planned to take a casual look at it, but his eyes became serious as he looked at it.

On the gold-inlaid part of the dagger, three flowing cloud patterns were clearly engraved, and the three tails were connected to form horns. The appearance of this pattern made Ning Xiaochuan's eyes instantly serious.

"Wait a minute, Wu Sanbei, where do you think this dagger came from?"

Seeing Ning Xiaochuan's sudden seriousness, Wu Zizhui said, "From the ruins of Shan Mansion, we can go to the mansion of Yiguo Gong Shan Fang."

"I want this dagger, please give me a price." After Wu Zizhui finished speaking, Ning Xiaochuan stuffed the dagger directly into his sleeve.

"Ah, this... Fifth Young Master Ning, you..."

Ning Xiaochuan threw the money bag at his waist to Wu Zizhui, "There are some broken silver and three hundred taels of silver notes in it, which is enough to buy this dagger."

Wei Zhengchun on the side looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said, "Fifth Young Master Ning, is there something wrong with this dagger?"

Ning Xiaochuan smiled slowly, "I just happened to have my eye on this dagger."

Everyone on the side looked at Ning Xiaochuan with doubt, but didn't say anything else.

At this moment, Ning Xiaochuan looked at the dagger, and his mind was filled with the assassination ten years ago. Because of that assassination, he lost his best childhood playmate and the wet nurse who had fed him.

…

When dusk came, Ning Xiaochuan returned to the mansion. Su Su had already sorted out the family rules copied by Ning Xiaochuan. After Ning Xiaochuan returned, he locked the dagger in the cabinet and took the copied family rules to the main courtyard of Ning Zhi, the head of the Ning family.

Pushing open the door and entering, the maid on the side quickly saluted.

"Fifth Young Master."

Ning Xiaochuan nodded slightly and went straight to the lobby.

At this moment, Ning Zhi was sitting upright in the case hall, looking at Ning Xiaochuan, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, "Have you finished copying?"

Ning Zhi, the Duke of Li Kingdom, joined the army at the age of 20 and followed the current emperor on the battlefield for more than 20 years, turning the seventeen Dafeng states into the current eighteen Dafeng states.

The northernmost Xiangzhou was conquered by Ning Zhi and his army. According to the law, he was enshrined as the Duke of Liguo in accordance with the law of opening up territories and enlarging the territory and making marquises.

Ning Zhi has a resolute face. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he is still strong and healthy. His eyebrows are not angry and he is not intimidating. He is also known for his uprightness and uprightness in the Dafeng court.

"Dad, I've finished copying it." Ning Xiaochuan presented the copied family rules with both hands.

Looking at his son, Ning Zhi said helplessly, "Your eldest brother will arrive in Yindu in three days. During the time when your eldest brother comes back, you'd better stay at home and don't cause trouble."

"Ah, my eldest brother is coming back, that's great." When Ning Xiaochuan heard that his eldest brother Ning He was coming back, he was immediately overjoyed.

"But, Dad, I went out to the street today and met a guy who called himself the Crown Prince. He fired arrows in the street and almost hurt me."

Upon hearing Ning Xiaochuan's words, Ning Zhi's expression changed slightly and he stood up directly, "What did you say? You ran out again? You are still the prince, could it be the prince of Jingbei?"

"It seems to be this person."

"What did you do to him?"

"Dad, don't be nervous, it's nothing wrong, it's just a broken arm."

Hearing this, Ning Zhi's old face turned red instantly. He grabbed the feather duster next to him and shouted as he walked, "Young man, I won't break your legs."

Seeing this scene, how could Ning Xiaochuan stand there and be punished? He had already slipped out of the room. He ran and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will go back to the house and copy the house rules for you. Don't be angry..."
