Chapter 721 Come to the door

/

Qi Ning said it lightly, but when Duan Canghai heard this, he felt that he had strength all over his body. The marquis in front of him looked very young, but for some reason, what he said from his mouth actually made people feel energetic and at ease.

"Meng Guangren, the family of Taichang Temple Shaoqing, suddenly left the capital in the middle of the night and passed by the military camp. Three soldiers also happened to run into it, but the people from Kyoto Mansion happened to meet it." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? Anything that is too coincidental is always a bit strange."

Duan Canghai frowned and said, "Marty, do you think there is any conspiracy in this?"

"I saw the ghost without a conspiracy." Qi Ning smiled and said, "It seems that some people can't help it and want to attack the Black Scale Camp."

Qi Feng whispered beside him: "Mr. Marquis, Meng Guangren has no conflict with our Jinyi Marquis' Mansion. His relationship was not bad in the past. The Kyoto Prefecture Prime Minister Tiezheng has always been alone and has never interacted with officials in the capital. Some people even called him a husband in private. Is it their fault for these two people involved?"

"It is not possible to determine who it is yet to be determined." Qi Ning said, "But it will surface soon. The matter is still unclear. We want to figure out the whole story." After a pause, he said, "There is no conflict of interest between Taichang Temple and Kyoto Prefecture and our Jinyi Marquis Mansion. The reconstruction of the Black Scale Camp will not harm them. Since we have to take action against the Black Scale Camp, there must be a benefit. As long as we think about it, who will be the happiest person? If this is the case, we can roughly guess the direction."

Duan Canghai frowned and said, "If you say this, the only ones who want to see our Black Scale Camp be dissolved are the King of Huainan and the Sima family, are they?"

Qi Ning laughed and looked at the sky, then said, "Uncle Duan Er, if you have a good rest, now you will go to Meng's mansion with me. I will go to see Meng Guangren in person and go back to the palace to meet the saint."

Qi Feng said anxiously: "Marty, are you going to Meng Mansion now? But the soldiers of the Black Scale Camp have just killed his slaves. Will you go to their place at this time?"

"Are you worried that the Meng Mansion will blow us out?" Qi Ning looked quite relaxed and smiled, "We are coming to the door to apologize, Meng Shaoqing will give us some face, so that we won't drive us out. If we don't come to the door on our own initiative, will we have to wait for him to come?" He patted Duan Canghai's shoulder and smiled, "We must figure out the situation first."

Qi Feng whispered: "Mr. Marquis, isn't it not appropriate to go there? Or I'll go with Brother Duan and I."

Qi Ning shook her head and said, "Only I can show my sincerity when I go there myself. Qi Feng, hurry up and prepare the horse."

Qi Feng didn't dare to say much, so he went to prepare a horse immediately.

Although Qi Ning didn't sleep all night, she was not exhausted at this moment. After Tang Nuo transformed into the bead last night, she finally successfully integrated the Youhan Pearl into Qi Ning's body.

As Tang Nuo reminded in advance, the process was indeed very painful, but Qi Ning didn't care about enduring hardships, and naturally he wouldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he endured it.

The Youhan Pearl is an extremely cold object. If you hold it with bare hands, you can even frostbite your hands. The transformation of the beads into the body, and the cold suffering you endure is naturally self-evident. Fortunately, there is a cold air in Qining's dantian, and the pure yin energy you practice, so you can still withstand the extreme cold of the Youhan Pearl. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to withstand it.

Tang Nuo knew the cold nature of the Youhan Pearl, so when he was preparing, he prepared the medicine to suppress the cold, which could be regarded as helping Qi Ning get through the most difficult time smoothly.

After the Youhan Pearl transformed into blood, Qi Ning felt his whole body shiver at first, and even shivered a little. He used his energy to regulate his breathing. When he recovered, he felt refreshed. The fatigue that had been running all the way seemed to dissipate a lot, but Tang Nuo came down one night but was very tired.

After Qi Ning knew that after the Youhan Pearl turned into blood, he had a body that could not invade all poisons, and his blood had become a treasure for detoxification. He felt a little happy in his heart. He thought that with this body that could not invade all poisons, if someone wanted to harm it in the future, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

He was worried that Tang Nuo was too tired and asked her to rest early. He wanted to have some breakfast and entered the palace immediately, but who knew that he would encounter Duan Canghai when he went out.

The two left the Marquis' Mansion directly, without any followers. Duan Canghai knew where Meng Mansion was and led the way forward. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, they had already arrived at Meng Mansion. The gatekeeper heard that it was Jinyi Hou who came in person, so he hurried into the mansion to report. Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man under fifty-year-old in an official robe hurried out.

Qi Ning went forward and knew that this was Meng Guangren. Meng Guangren had already bowed and said, "Sir, please see the marquis!" Although he was polite, his face was really ugly.

Qi Ning naturally understood Meng Guangren's mood. Moreover, Meng Guangren was only a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and his identity was quite different from Qi Ning's Jinyihou, but Qi Ning also bowed and said, "Mr. Meng, please don't blame me if you take the apology to get into the mansion to disturb you."

"Don't dare." Meng Guangren raised his hand and said, "Mr. Marquis, please come in!" Then he led the way forward and led Qi Ning into the lobby, but invited Qi Ning to sit in the main seat. Qi Ning thought for a while, but he did not give in. The servants brought the tea, and Duan Canghai also sat down under Meng Guangren with a solemn expression.

Qi Ning didn't go around the corner and said straight to the point: "Mr. Meng, I just came back yesterday and already knew about that, so I came here to apologize to you today."

Meng Guangren didn't expect that Qi Ning came to the door in person to apologize, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare. Marquis, if you are on a mission, you will be out of your way, and those traitors will be unforgivable, and!" He glanced at Duan Canghai on the side and said, "I'll forgive me for saying that the Black Scale Camp has always been very strict in military discipline. This time, there were soldiers who did things randomly and killed innocent people. This is always a bad constraint on the barracks."

He said this, naturally because Duan Canghai was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything.

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, "Mr. Meng, you say this to me to give me face, but I know that I am responsible for the Black Scale Camp. If something happens, I can't help but blame."

"This!" Meng Guangren smiled bitterly, "Marquis, the old Marquis of Jinyi and the General are both upright and selfless people, and have made great contributions to our Great Chu. The Black Scale Camp was also an elite army in our Great Chu back then, and made countless contributions on the battlefield. To be honest, the former lord issued an order to rebuild the Black Scale Camp, and the lower officials were also happy, but they did not expect such a big thing to happen." Shaking his head and said, "If there were only some small conflicts, even if he accidentally killed a few slaves of Xiaguan, the lower officials would never dare to say anything. However, this time the inner person was frightened and was still lying on the couch. The marquis, Xiaguan, said bluntly that this matter would always be severely punished."

"Is Mrs. Meng frightened?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Mr. Meng, I came here today because I was worried that this incident would cause misunderstandings between you and me, so I want to understand some situations. Let me put aside one sentence first. Since this matter was broken into the Black Scale Camp, then no matter what, I will give your Meng family an explanation, so that you will not let Lord Meng be wronged."

Meng Guangren showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes and said, "Mr. Marquis, with your words, the officials will not complain. As long as the officials are dealing with them impartially, the officials will never have any extra words."

Qi Ning thought that Meng Guangren was a reasonable person, but he was a grand waiter and came to the door to apologize and promised to give him an explanation, which was enough for him to give him face.

Duan Canghai was really worried about the embarrassment of both sides when he came. At this time, he calmed down and said, "Mr. Meng, no matter what, the soldiers of the Black Scale Camp killed the slaves of the house of the Mansion. The Marquis said that he would give you an explanation and there would be no mistakes. This time I was not in control, and I was really sorry."

Meng Guangren's expression was slightly gentle and said, "The forest is big, and there will always be all kinds of birds. The Black Scale Camp has just been rebuilt. Some people are brave enough to violate the military rules. This is inevitable."

"Thank you, Lord Meng, for your understanding." Qi Ning said: "Mr. Meng, I wonder if it is convenient to inform you of the specific matter? I heard that Mrs. Meng passed by the military camp in the middle of the night?"

Meng Guangren nodded and said, "Marty, Xiaguan's father-in-law is seriously ill. The other end of his hometown sent someone to send letters. It seems that he can't hold on for long. The Dongqi delegation came to Beijing and the emperor's wedding is about to come. Taichang Temple assisted the Ministry of Rites in preparing for the wedding. Xiaguan really couldn't leave. After receiving the news, the insider was anxious and had to set off overnight to rush back to his hometown. Our hometown is in Kuaiji. If we want to get closer, we have to pass by near the Heilin Camp, so we happened to pass there the night before."

Only then did Qi Ning and Duan Canghai feel relieved. Meng Guangren's words were sincere. Qi Ning kept staring at his eyes, knowing that what he said was not false. Moreover, such a thing can be clearly understood with a little investigation. Meng Guangren would never dare to make up lies.

Meng Guangren raised his hand to invite Qi Ning to use tea. Seeing Qi Ning pick up the tea cup, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "When the inner man passed by the area near the barracks, he was actually more than ten miles away from the barracks, and it was not close. It happened to be convenient at that time, so a personal maid accompanied him."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and listened carefully. Meng Guangren smiled bitterly: "The officials were worried that there would be a mistake on the road, so they photographed four guards following the guards. While they were waiting, they heard the call of the inner man and the maid. When they knew something was wrong, they rushed to protect them immediately, and then!" They did not say anything.

Qi Ning said: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, this is to find out the whole story of this matter. If it involves the reputation of family members, we will try our best to maintain it."

Meng Guangren bowed and said, "After they rushed over, they saw three soldiers trying to impolite the inner and maids. So without saying a word, they stepped forward and started fighting. However, my servants were not as good as others and were killed on the spot. At a critical moment, several servants from Kyoto Prefecture just passed by and immediately went up and captured the three soldiers on the spot."

Qi Ning nodded, thinking that this was the case. The three soldiers were so brave. They thought that even Mrs. Meng dared to invade those soldiers. Look at Meng Guangren, who is almost fifty years old, Mrs. Meng should be very different from his age, otherwise those soldiers would be hungry.

PS: I studied at the National Propaganda Cadre Academy in Beijing. I have sublimated it. The revision of the article has been completed. I will resume two updates a day as soon as possible. I’m sorry!
