Qi Ning was quite surprised by Jiang Suiyun's kung fu at the beginning. He never understood why a rich young master had the long-lost kung fu in the world. Today, Yan Lingxian finally understood it from Yan Lingxian's mouth.

He could almost conclude that the martial arts origins of Jiang Suiyun and Yan Lingxian were all from the gray-clothed masked man.

The man in gray mask was obviously an extremely dangerous person. He was not only bold but also scheming.

In the world, there were only a handful of people who dared to put their tentacles into the Shenhou Mansion, but not only did that man reach into the Shenhou Mansion, but also took action Yan Lingxian, one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper.

I have to say that the man's eyes are indeed extremely vicious.

Yan Lingxian is one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Even though his martial arts are not high, he is still in the core circle of the Shenhou Mansion. He naturally knows more than ordinary Shenhou Mansion officials. Moreover, as a disciple of Ximen Wuhen, he often can come into contact with Ximen Wuhen and knows a little about Ximen Wuhen.

The most important thing is that, as Yan Lingxian himself said, his qualifications and martial arts are not outstanding in the Shenhou Mansion. Although he is a lieutenant of the Pojun, the Shenhou Mansion does not value him too much, and may even ignore him. This is exactly Yan Lingxian's biggest advantage. If Xuanyuan Po is always in the spotlight of the Shenhou Mansion, if something is wrong, it will be easily noticed.

Yan Lingxian is young and has little experience. Even if he has some abnormalities and is not noticed, he can completely get confused.

If it weren't for Yan Lingxian's personal words today, Qi Ning wouldn't have thought that Yan Lingxian would be a traitor in the Shenhou Mansion.

The other party picked Yan Lingxian not only because he knew a lot about the matter in the Shenhou Mansion, but also because he was not noticed and it was difficult for people to doubt him. Such a person is the best candidate for the traitor.

Qi Ning knew even more clearly that the man not only chose the most suitable candidate, but was also good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses.

Although Yan Lingxian hated Ximen Wuhen because of his father's hatred, Qi Ning knew in his heart that Yan Lingxian was not valued in the Shenhou Mansion, which was an important reason for Yan Lingxian's rebellion.

Yan Lingxian is the weakest martial arts among the Big Dipper. He is determined to pursue Ximen Zhanying, but he also knows that with his own abilities, it is not easy to get the favor of Ximen Zhanying.

From Yan Lingxian's words, Qi Ning clearly felt dissatisfied with him with his situation. Like many young people, Yan Lingxian urgently wanted to make a name for himself and hoped to be respected by others. This kind of thought was seen through by the man in gray-clothed masked. The man in gray-clothed masked knew Yan Lingxian's weakness and easily used it.

Qi Ning didn't know whether Yan Lingxian's father Yan Kuan was killed really related to Ximen Wuhen. Even Yan Lingxian did not get conclusive evidence from the gray-clothed masked man, but Yan Lingxian firmly believed that this was due to Yan Lingxian's urgent desire to stand out, and the gray-clothed masked man had the ability to bewitch people's hearts. Even if Yan Kuan's murder had nothing to do with Ximen Wuhen, Qi Ning believed that Yan Lingxian would be used by the other party in the end.

Qi Ning even felt that the gray-clothed masked man had probably already had a certain amount of power in the capital. Jiang Suiyun, the richest man in the East China Sea, and Yan Lingxian, the captain of the Pojun Academy of the Shenhou Mansion, were obviously chess pieces in the hands of the gray-clothed masked man. What kind of thing this person was going to use these people to make, Qi Ning could not guess at all.

If Yan Lingxian was only used by that man, Qi Ning would think that the man was heading towards the Shenhou Mansion, but Jiang Suiyun had no close contact with the Shenhou Mansion, but instead he was very close to the King of Huainan. In other words, the gray-clothed masked man's goal is not just the Shenhou Mansion.

He suddenly felt a sudden sensation in his mind and suddenly thought, could the man in gray-clothed mask be someone from Jiutianlou?

There is the Shenhou Mansion in the south and the Jiutian Tower in the north.

The main task of the Shenhou Mansion is to control the forces of the rivers and lakes, but it also belongs to the intelligence yamen. In the Northern Han and Eastern Qi countries, there are people from the Shenhou Mansion who are active.

Similarly, as the first floor in the world, the Jiutian Tower of the Northern Han Dynasty was also active in the Eastern Qi and Southern Chu. Jiutian Tower even planned a case of kidnapping the Prince of Jinyi. It was precisely because of this case that Qi Ning accidentally entered the Marquis of Jinyi by chance and became one of the four hereditary marquis of Nanchu.

Although the Qinhuai Battle, which lasted for several years in Northern Han and Southern Chu, ended, neither side obviously gave up on the idea of ​​annexing each other. Apart from the war on the battlefield, both sides certainly had no less hands and feet in secret.

If the people from Jiutianlou lurk in the capital of Chu, secretly bribed and controlled the officials of Chu, and used them to explore information or even cooperate to do other more secret things, this is of course an extremely possible thing.

"Yan Lingxian, what did that person ask you to do?" Qi Ning stared at Yan Lingxian's eyes.

Yan Lingxian shook his head and said, "So far, I have only told him that the Shenhou Mansion is going to attack the Qianwuling Black Lotus Sect, but the Shenhou Mansion has long been making public, which is not a secret. He has not yet proposed any conditions to me, and only said that I would let me practice martial arts secretly, but the people in the Shenhou Mansion cannot see the flaws, otherwise if they are discovered, he will kill me with his own hands."

"In other words, you are just a spy he put in the Shenhou Mansion now, and you are not able to use it yet?" Qi Ning said coldly: "When he needs you, you must listen to his orders at any time."

Yan Lingxian hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Qi Ning sneered: "Yan Lingxian, have you ever thought that the other party was from Jiutianlou?"

"Nine Heavens Tower?" Yan Lingxian's body was shocked. As the Pojun lieutenant of the Shenhou Mansion, he was of course extremely familiar with the Jiutian Tower. If the Shenhou Mansion had a powerful enemy in this world, then it would naturally be the Jiutian Tower of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Qi Ning said: "If he is from Jiutianlou, deliberately tempting you to become his pawn and giving you benefits, with the purpose of using you to become the eyes and ears of the Northern Han Dynasty, then what do you think you are in now?"

Yan Lingxian frowned, and Qi Ning said lightly: "If this is the case, then you are just a piece on the Jiutianlou chessboard that can be abandoned at any time. When you are useful, they will give you enough rewards to satisfy you, but once you are useless, they may become their abandoned son at any time. If you are exposed, the Shenhou Mansion will certainly not spare you, Jiutianlou may also execute you immediately."

Suddenly, the sound of geese came from the sky. Yan Lingxian looked up at the sky. Under the sky, the geese were lined up in human form and were passing by the top of their heads.

Qi Ning also looked up slightly and said, "It is difficult to be a good person, but it is not so easy to be a bad person. If you are not careful, you can't even do it."

"What does the Marquis want to say?" Yan Lingxian's face turned pale.

"It's great if you can confess to me." Qi Ning said: "Of course you know that even if you only have a sentence to the Shenhou Mansion, Ximen Wuhen will make you die without a burial place. Compared to me, you know more about Ximen Wuhen's methods."

Yan Lingxian hesitated for a moment and finally smiled bitterly: "Marty, I actually know very well that this matter will be exposed one day. When I learnt Thousand Snake Palm from the gray masked man, I am destined to be unable to turn my head back."

"Yan Lingxian, although you took the wrong path and reached the edge of the cliff, you have not yet completely reached the dead end." Qi Ning pondered slightly and lowered his voice: "If I give you a chance to go back, would you rather?"

Yan Lingxian smiled and said, "I understand what the Marquis means. The Marquis wants me to be your eyes and ears and listen to your instructions in the future."

Qi Ning thought to himself that this kid was not too stupid, and said lightly: "Of course you can choose for yourself. Actually, I don't want you to be my eyes and ears, I want you to be the emperor's eyes and ears."

"Emperor?" Yan Lingxian brows tightened.

Qi Ning said: "The late emperor can control the Shenhou Mansion, which does not mean that the current emperor can also control it. You should also know that the emperor has been intrigue in the court shortly after the emperor ascended the throne."

"You mean Zhongyi Hou and Huainan King?"

Qi Ning thought that the struggle between these two factions was already known, so he nodded slightly: "The Jinyi family is loyal to the emperor, of course, we cannot let the powerful ministers cause trouble in the court, so!" After a pause, he slowly said: "If you can become the emperor's eyes and ears in the Shenhou Mansion, maybe one day, you can really realize your dream and become a respected superior."

Yan Lingxian sighed, "Marty, do you think I can still have room for my own choice at this point?"

"I don't think you either." Qi Ning smiled strangely, "Yan Lingxian, I'm asking you to be loyal to the emperor, of course it's not the emperor's intention. The emperor also knows nothing about it, so if you really reveal it, neither the emperor nor I will know all this."

Yan Lingxian smiled faintly and said, "Absolutely." He frowned and said, "Marty, I'm asking for information for you in the Shenhou Mansion. It's not difficult, but do those who saw me slashing out today know that I used the reverse hand spirit sword? If they spread this matter!"

"Don't worry about my people." Qi Ning said, "But whether Zhan Ying will tell Ximen Wuhen about your sword skills. I can't guarantee whether she can not reveal this matter depends on your own ability." After pausing, he took a step forward, and said softly: "The most important thing you need to do after you return to Beijing is to figure out for me what the gray-clothed masked man came from, and even who he had contacted in the capital."

Yan Lingxian shook his head and said, "This is very difficult. That person never mentions his identity, and he is elusive. I don't know where he is. Every time he comes to me, without a trace. I know nothing about who he contacts."

"It depends on your own wisdom. If it is too simple, why should I use you?" Qi Ning smiled faintly, raised his hand suddenly, and punched him. Yan Lingxian never expected that Qi Ning would suddenly punch, and there was no time to react. He was hit hard on the face by Qi Ning. The force of this punch was not light. Yan Lingxian was sprayed with blood from his nose, and even his two teeth were knocked down, blood was overflowing from his mouth, and he said in horror: "Marty, you?"

"You hurt my people. If they are safe and sound, how can I explain to them?" Qi Ning explained, and then punched Yan Lingxian again, slamming Yan Lingxian's chest with a "pop". Yan Lingxian felt a huge pain in his ribs, and even suspected that his ribs were broken. He stepped back several steps, sat down on the ground, and then his chest rolled and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Only then did Qi Ning tidy up his clothes and said lightly: "Stay in peace for three days and you should be able to recover. Remember, if you do something wrong, you will always have to pay a price. This is the first lesson I have taught you!"—
