Chapter 961 After a late night appointment
When Qi Ning saw Jiang Mantian today, he became vigilant. This was not because he knew Jiang Mantian very well, but because he had always been vigilant about Jiang Suiyun.
When Jiang Suiyun entered Beijing, everyone thought that Zhuo Qingyang recommended him to become an official. Qi Ning thought that this was the case at first, and Jiang Suiyun joined the King of Huainan. Qi Ning once thought that this was the political investment of the Jiang family.
But Qi Ning did not forget what happened in Qionglin Academy that night.
The night Zhuo Qingyang was injured and disappeared, he left behind the "Ksitigarbha Music Score". Jiang Suiyun also appeared in Qionglin Academy that night, and even searched for things in Zhuo Qingyang's bamboo house.
What happened that night is still a mystery.
Zhuo Qingyang was attacked by a group of assassins of unknown origin. When Qi Ning found it, Zhuo Qingyang was already seriously injured. Zhuo Qingyang had the second most famous swords, the Bone Pattern Sword, which was the second best swordsman. It was a master of swordsmanship, which also surprised Qi Ning at that time.
Zhuo Qingyang is a master of the eyes of the world, and is well-versed in the past and the present. He is recognized as a great scholar in the world, but no one knows that Zhuo Qingyang is actually a swordsman with superb swordsmanship.
But the group of assassins had already known it in advance, and seized Zhuo Qingyang's weakness and tampered with the ink inkstone, which led to Zhuo Qingyang's serious injury.
Later, Zhuo Qingyang was injured and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the clues of [Diksitigarbha Music Score]. Qi Ning also successfully obtained [Diksitigarbha Music Score], and the mystery is still not revealed.
Qi Ning did not forget that that night, Jiang Suiyun was also hiding in the academy and searching in the bamboo house. If nothing unexpected happens, Qi Ning believed that what Jiang Suiyun was looking for was [Di Ksitigarbha Music Score]. The assassin who attacked Zhuo Qingyang that night also wanted to snatch something from Zhuo Qingyang. If Qi Ning judged that no accident, it should also be related to [Di Ksitigarbha Music Score]. Because of this, Qi Ning always suspected that there was an amazing secret hidden in [Di Ksitigarbha Music Score].
Qi Ning dared not make a light judgment on whether Jiang Suiyun was in the same group as those assassins, but Jiang Suiyun's purpose of entering Beijing to approach Zhuo Qingyang was obviously not simple.
Jiang Suiyun and Jiang Mantian are father-son relationships. Jiang Suiyun’s purpose in Beijing is unknown to others, and Jiang Mantian cannot not know. Qi Ning even suspected that Zhuo Qingyang’s disappearance is likely to be involved in Jiang Mantian.
Qi Ning has always been confused about what kind of mystery is hidden in the middle.
The lady naturally could not know about this past event, but she also saw that Qi Ning was wary of Jiang Mantian and whispered: "Marty, do you want to say that the three major families deliberately alienated, making people think that they have no contact, but in fact they have always been in secret?"
"These big families have been thriving in the East China Sea for hundreds of years, and they were once in-laws. They broke their bones and tendons. How could they say that there was no connection without being involved?" Qi Ning sneered: "The East China Sea is only so big, and economic and trade are controlled by these three families. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in a silence. They usually deliberately distance themselves, but the connection in their bones has never been interrupted. Once it is critical, they will naturally become a group."
The lady pointed her head slightly, understood a little, and said softly: "Today, she captured Chen Kun in Guanchao Tower, and Lu Ziheng was also watched by the government. Their opponent was the Marquis. For the three major families, this is of course a huge matter, so at this urgent moment, Jiang Mantian stood up and spoke for Lu Feihang."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Madam understands it at a glance. She is so smart."
"Why did the Marquis say that these gifts today must be accepted?" the lady asked with a hint of confusion.
Qi Ning smiled and said, "This is the East China Sea after all. Although I am the marquis, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake."
The lady chuckled and said, "The Marquis is so powerful, so naturally she is not afraid of them."
"Madam, this time they took action, it would be tens of thousands of taels of silver at once." Qi Ning leaned on the chair and said thoughtfully: "Although they have money, such a move is too generous. Although the name of Jinyihou is not bad, do you think it is reasonable to throw such a large sum of silver at once in order to solve the troubles of Guanchao Tower?"
"This!" The lady hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Marty, they are indeed too generous in their actions. I was surprised just now."
"Of course, this money is not to solve the problem of Guanchao Tower." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Maybe they have other thoughts. If I accept it, they will feel at ease, otherwise!" He smiled and didn't say much.
The lady wanted to ask what else the three major families would think, but Qi Ning didn't say it clearly, and she didn't ask too much. When he saw Qi Ning leaning on the chair, he seemed to be thinking something, and he didn't dare to say anything to disrupt his thoughts. After a moment, seeing Qi Ning frowning slightly, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Marty, what are you thinking?"
Qi Ning came to her senses, looked at her wife, with a peach blossom face, and chuckled, "I'm wondering, are you going to celebrate today?"
"celebrate?"
"Since then, the Tian Family Medicine Store has officially set up an account in the East China Sea, and the purpose of the wife's trip has been successfully achieved." Qi Ning looked sideways, with a hint of ambiguity between her eyebrows: "Why should you celebrate such a happy event? Let's stay tonight, let's celebrate it well."
The lady's cheeks heated up and instantly understood Qi Ning's meaning. Her heartbeats were so strong. She lowered her head and said softly: "You can't stay. It's not good to be known to others."
"You can't stay in the inn and you can't go to the guild hall, so what should I do?" Qi Ning sighed and said softly: "The moon is on the willows. After the appointment is late at night, why don't we find another place!"
"Marty, it's not that I don't want to say anything, it's just!" The lady lowered her head, and her chin almost poked her tall chest: "Why don't you let me think about it anymore, and when we go back!" Her last sentence seemed to be covering her will be waiting for Qi Ning's request. At this time, she was already blushing and could not say a word from the bottom.
Qi Ning turned his body sideways, almost pressing it to his wife's ear, and asked in a low voice: "What are you going back to do?"
The breath of Qi Ning was spraying on the lady's ears. The lady felt strangely sensitive. The breath made the lady feel a burning feeling on her face. She wanted to make herself as casual as before, but when she touched such a topic, she couldn't get casual at all. At this time, she didn't dare to look at Qi Ning at all, and her voice was even more delicate: "You know what you want to ask me!"
"I'm afraid that what the wife told me was not the same thing, so I have to make sure." Qi Ning deliberately blew his breath into his wife's ears: "Tell me what to do after going back?"
"That's what you said!" The lady clasped her skirt tightly with her hands, feeling sweaty on her palms, and stammered: "You can do whatever you say, you can't do it now!"
Qi Ning laughed and looked at the beautiful woman with a shy look like a girl, and could no longer bear it. She walked up and kissed her smooth and delicate cheeks hard.
Jiang Mantian and Lu Feihang left the inn, and took two carriages one after another. After turning two streets, Lu Feihang saw Jiang Mantian's carriage from behind and turned to a secluded street and alley. He immediately followed. When he entered the alley, he saw Jiang Mantian's carriage stopping not far from the front. Lu Feihang got off the carriage and ran towards Jiang Mantian's carriage. He was fat and his movements were agile at this time. After getting on Jiang Mantian's carriage, the two carriages immediately moved forward one after another and out of the box. Jiang Mantian's carriage turned left, while Lu Feihang's carriage turned right.
Jiang Mantian's carriage looked not eye-catching, even a little old, exuding a quaint atmosphere, but the carriage was not small. Lu Feihang entered the carriage and sat down. Jiang Mantian leaned on the carriage, calmly glanced at Lu Feihang and said lightly: "Look at what do you think of our little marquis?"
Lu Feihang sat opposite Jiang Mantian, his face no longer had the humility he had before. His eyes were cold and he sneered: "If it weren't for you to stop him, I would have let him not get out of the East China Sea."
"Can't you get out of the East China Sea?" Jiang Mantian smiled calmly: "Why, do you still want to kill him?"
"You are not sure about Ziheng's injury." Lu Feihang gritted his teeth and clenched his fat fists: "I am still in a coma. Since he was born, he has never suffered such a great loss? How have our families ever suffered such a great loss?"
"Don't forget that there are not many people left in the Han family." Jiang Mantian's tone was calm and calm: "The Han family was much more powerful than us back then. You don't know what the result was, so that's not a big loss?"
Lu Feihang's expression froze, he snorted coldly, and then said, "Suiyun suffered the loss of this kid in the capital. He was taken away by this kid's position as the commander of the Black Scale Camp. Now Ziheng was beaten like that by him in front of everyone. Jinyi Qi's family and us have already formed a mortal hatred. Today we have to kneel at his feet!" He smashed his fist hard and sighed unwillingly.
"Brother Lu, I only ask you what you think of this little marquis, not to mention anything else." Jiang Mantian stared into Lu Feihang's eyes.
Lu Feihangdao: "There is nothing special. It's just that he inherited the title at a young age. He didn't accept all the things we gave?" He put his hands on his raised belly and said disdainfully: "This kid must have a unclear relationship with Tian. I'm rushing to explain to us today, hehe, it's still too young."
Jiang Mantian thoughtfully and asked back, "Do you think he is too young?" He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "In the news in Beijing, this person is confronting the Sima family. Now a party has been formed in the court. If he is a mediocre person, how can he be so brave to be an enemy of the Sima family?"
Lu Feihang waved his hand and said, "It is precisely because he is too young that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The King of Huainan and the Sima family were fighting openly and secretly. The King of Huainan was the emperor's uncle and had great prestige in the court. In the end, they were all dealt with by Sima Lan. Do you think that a mere waiter of Jinyi can be the opponent of the Sima family? Today's Jinyi family is not the Jinyi family in the past. Without the Qinhuai army, what can this kid fight with Sima Lan? He is indeed very brave, but that is the courage to seek death. If you don't believe it, we will make a bet here. In less than a year, at most two years, this kid will definitely die ugly."
