Chapter 41 The Widow

Yang Ning knew that Duan Canghai was born in the army, and the aura of a soldier on this man was indeed very obvious. Including Qi Feng and Zhao Wushang, Yang Ning could also find the shadow of a soldier in them.

But he didn't expect that these three people were all from Heilin Camp, and they were all soldiers under the command of the Third Master.

"The Third Master and the General were both born by the Old Marquis, so when the Third Master was young, he followed the Old Marquis to fight on the battlefield like the General." Duan Canghai sighed: "If it weren't for that time...oh, today's Third Master would have been a famous general who has become famous all over the world."

When Yang Ning heard this, he had a rough understanding of the relationship between the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion and asked, "Did you guys return to the capital after that war?"

"After the battle between Heilin Camp and the Xuelan Army, there were only a few dozen people left." Duan Canghai smiled bitterly and said, "But the general has always been in good condition. When our Heilin Camp was in full swing, the supporters followed. The Xuelan Army was already at the end of its battle and could not fight again. Only then could we survive."

Yang Ning said: "Although your Heilin Camp was almost wiped out, after the battle, the Northern Han Xuelan Army no longer had combat power, so the two counties north of the Huai River were saved."

Duan Canghai showed a hint of surprise, and then nodded and said, "The Prince is worthy of being a general. I will understand the key points immediately." He raised his neck slightly and said, "The Prince is right. Although the Heilin Camp disappeared from now on, the Xuelan Army that the Marquis of Changling painstakingly managed has been greatly damaged and is no longer able to pose a threat to us." After a pause, he continued, "General asked the court to ask for rewards for us, the officers and soldiers of the Heilin Camp who survived. Most of them were granted official positions everywhere, but we still stayed."

"Oh?" Yang Ningqi said: "Why is that? If someone is not a good official, he insists on staying here as a guard?"

Duan Canghai said seriously: "We followed the Third Master to conquer the battlefield. Many times, the Third Master rescued us from the pile of dead people. At that time, we swear that we would follow the Third Master to the death in this life, and we have no other ideas." He sighed: "After the Third Master died, we wanted to follow the Third Master, but we were persuaded by the general. He said that since we have no intention of serving as an official, we can go to the Marquis' Mansion as a guard, not only can we protect the Marquis' Mansion, but also can protect the Third Lady."

Yang Ning nodded slightly, thinking that these people had no official position, but came to the Marquis' Mansion to serve as guards. They were also good men who valued friendship. They were willing to be servants in the Marquis' Mansion, probably because the Third Master Qi had more face than the Marquis' Jinyi. After all, the Third Master's widow was still alive, and they stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, probably because they wanted to protect the Third Master Qi to repay Master Qi.

No wonder the third lady is the only wife in the Hou Mansion. She is the wife of the Third Master Qi, and her status in the Hou Mansion is naturally extraordinary. Unfortunately, such a beautiful lady has been a pretty widow for many years.

Duan Canghai was obviously drunk and talked happily, not to mention that Yang Ning was asking about his glorious and sentimental past, so he poured out all the things that happened back then as if he was talking.

The sun sets and the sky is completely dark. White lanterns with the word "Dian" have been lit everywhere in the Hou Mansion.

"You just said that my father died of injury, what's going on?" Yang Ning asked: "Is he seriously injured?"

"The general has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he has many wounds on his body." Duan Canghai said: "The Jinyi Hou has always relied on his real skills to win glory on the battlefield. The old Marquis is like this, the general is like this, and the third master is like this, so the scars are also the glory of the Qi family's men. The general had already returned to the capital to recuperate, but three years ago, the Northern Han people gathered tens of thousands of troops and suddenly came over. The general could only leave the capital. This battle lasted almost three years, and the general held on the front line for three years...!" His eyes were red, "We actually knew in our hearts that the general's health was getting worse and worse, one day was getting worse, and the old and new injuries were combined, and the pain was in great pain. But the general knew that once he fell, the Great Chu would be in danger, so he kept hiding his injuries...!"

Yang Ning also looked slightly respectful, thinking that Qi Jing was also an iron man.

"Just a few months ago, the two sides finally reached a peace agreement, and the Northern Han people retreated to fight." Duan Canghai said with a wry smile: "In fact, why the Northern Han people retreated? What kind of peace agreement between the two sides reached? I don't know. I was thinking that once the war was over, the general could return to Beijing to recuperate and recover slowly, but...!" He shook his head and said: "But who would have thought that this would be the case? The general was exhausted to death for the sake of the Great Chu."

Yang Ning thought that Marquis Jinyi was still a hero of labor mode, but he saw Duan Canghai already stood up, "Criminal, it's dark, let's go there first. You have come back. The third lady is fighting with the third old master and the others for you today. You must not let the third lady down."

Yang Ning knew that after listening to Duan Canghai for a long time, he had indeed delayed a lot of time. Since he was the prince and his father passed away, he still had to do his best in terms of face.

While the two went to the mourning hall, Yang Ning asked, "Uncle Duan Er, are there many escort agencies in the capital?"

"Escort agency?" Duan Canghai did not expect Yang Ning would suddenly ask about the escort agency, and was a little puzzled, "Why did the prince ask about the escort agency?"

Yang Ning had already thought of the words and said, "After I was taken away by that group of people, I once heard them talk about the escort agency in a sack."

Duan Canghai stopped and his expression immediately became serious. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "The prince heard them mention the escort agency? Are there still people from Jiutianlou lurking in a escort agency?"

Yang Ning said: "I don't know what's going on. They didn't have a loud voice at that time. I heard them mention the escort agency and said it was the best escort agency in the capital. Uncle Duan Er, which one is the best escort agency in the capital?"

"There are many escort agencies in the capital, but if you want to talk about the top ones, there are three escort agencies that are comparable." Duan Canghai thought for a while before saying, "Changping Escort Agency, Sihai Escort Agency and Xuri Escort Agency are the most powerful escort agencies in the capital. Can the prince hear those people mention these three escort agencies?"

Yang Ning shook his head, but he was quite excited. He thought to himself that this section of Canghai was indeed not a vegetarian, but he knew the situation in the capital.

He had actually met the Sihai Escort Agency. He met the Sihai Escort Agency's convoy at a wine shop, and he also met Xiao Guang, who was chased by Feichan's secret nerd.

"It's a trick to lurk in the escort agency." Duan Canghai touched his beard and said to himself. After thinking about it, he said, "But it's not easy for our Marquis' Mansion to take action. Turn around and inform the Shenhou Mansion and ask the people from the Shenhou Mansion to investigate. Those three escort agencies are not easy to meet, and we don't have the energy to take care of it for the time being, so just leave it to the Shenhou Mansion."

"Shenhou Mansion?" Yang Ningqi said: "What is that?"

Duan Canghai looked a little embarrassed. If the prince said he was confused, he was speaking clearly today and could not see his confused appearance at all. However, if he was smart, he would not be as good as that.

He was about to explain, but he heard a voice coming: "Brother Duan, are you here? Do you see the third lady?"

Yang Ning looked in the voice, but the fat Man Qiu was coming here.

"Master Qiu!" Duan Canghai said: "Are you looking for the third wife?"

"Yes." Mr. Qiu came over, with a kind smile on his white and fat face. He glanced at Yang Ning with a small eye and said, "Thank you for your hard work. When it's a little later, the prince can leave the mourning hall and have a good rest. I have discussed with Aunt Qiong. Let Qi Yu guard this night, and leave it to the prince as soon as it dawns."

"Oh?" Although Yang Ning couldn't figure out the details of General Manager Qiu, for some reason, when he saw this person, he felt disgusted and smiled and said, "Is it Qi Yu still going to compete with me?"

Yang Ning knew that Duan Canghai was a martial artist. Although he was careful, he was quite straightforward and easy to deal with. However, this manager Qiu was a man of wisdom at first glance and was not easy to deal with. In front of him, he should be cautious in his words and actions, so as not to be seen by this person and cause great trouble to himself.

Yang Ning believes that so far, no one in the mansion should have doubted his identity, but if he is not careful and has many flaws, it will inevitably make people doubt it.

"The prince is joking." President Qiu smiled and said, "You are the prince of the Marquis's mansion. How dare Qi Yu compete with you for anything? However, although he is a concubine, he is still the blood of the Marquis. He will not let him see others during the day, so that he should be filial to the night. The most important thing is that he can keep his soul on the prince at night so that he can regain his energy. There are still many things to do later. If the prince does not sleep day and night, his energy will definitely not be able to keep up."

Yang Ning actually had no great interest in fighting to be a filial son. He showed his power in the mourning hall today because he couldn't stand a group of people holding a group to target Gu Qinghan. If Qi Yu stayed in the mourning hall for him at night, he would have no objection.

"Brother Duan, don't take your heart to your heart today." Mr. Qiu looked at Duan Canghai and smiled and said, "You and I understand the character of the fifth master. It's that. Maybe I'm too impatient today. I just looked for it, and the third old master said that the fifth master shouldn't treat you like that."

Duan Canghai said lightly: "Mr. Qiu is too careful, I don't care. Moreover, we are all servants, so we naturally won't care about our master."

Mr. Qiu laughed and said, "This is a bit angry. But I know Brother Duan, you are broad-minded. You will forget everything tomorrow morning." He also said, "Brother Duan, as the chief of the Marquis' Mansion, many things need to be considered from the overall situation. The prince is natural and has nothing to say, but we still have to take the overall situation into consideration. The third old master, we can't ignore it at all. When the things in front of us are over, everything is easy to say, but we still have to maintain the harmony of the family. Do you think this is the reason?"

Duan Canghai said: "Master Qiu, Duan, a martial artist, only knows how to protect the Marquis' Mansion. I shouldn't ask more about other things, but I don't understand anything. But what the third lady said is naturally not wrong. How to take the overall situation into consideration, just discuss it with the third lady. I need to use my place, and the third lady is just one word."

"Who said you don't know how to take care of the overall situation?" A crisp and pleasant voice came from behind Yang Ning, "You swallowed your anger in the mourning hall and didn't make you confused. Isn't that taking care of the overall situation?"
