Ning Yi could imagine that before long, a large number of refugees would flood into Chang'an City.
Yue Guifang looked quite deserted. Ning Yi led the donkey into her small courtyard, suppressed her emotions, and shouted with a smile, "I'm back."
My mother came out of the main room with bloodshot eyes and a haggard expression.
"Mom, what happened."
Ning Yi's heart thumped as he smelled the smell of blood coming from the house.
"Yi'er, your father, your father is injured."
Su Kuan looked at her son, as if she had seen his backbone, and tears fell down her cheeks. "He was afraid of disturbing your practice, so he wouldn't let me go to the academy to look for you."
Ning Yi's heart clenched, and she stepped forward to give her mother a tight hug, then carried her into the house.
In the bedroom, the father was half lying on the bed, watching the mother and son walk in with a heroic smile on his face, "I can't die, I just lost an arm, so there is nothing to cry about."
Seeing that Ning Zhan was in good spirits, Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Who did it?"
"Fox Clan."
Ning Zhan patted the edge of the bed, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes, "We met the alienated demon. Thanks to the fox clan's handiwork, we lost several brothers, but your father is the most lucky..."
After glancing at his wife, Ning Zhan came to his senses and quickly shut up.
It's okay to brag about this nonsense to my son, but if my wife hears it, it will only increase her worries.
"Alienated demon."
Ning Yi had heard of this half-human, half-demon creature but had never seen it before.
It is said that large clans such as the wolf demon and the fox clan have a group of alienated demons who serve as war slaves.
This method of turning normal humans into alienated monsters is extremely vicious. The alienated humans' strength will increase explosively in a short period of time, at the cost of a sharp reduction in lifespan.
"As much as you can."
Su Kuan's eyes were red, and she stared at her husband angrily, feeling angry and heartbroken, "Okay, I'm missing an arm, so you can still use it, so you can take care of yourself at home in the future. You brag every day, and no one comes to see you when you're injured."
Ning Zhan chuckled and didn't say anything back.
However, Ning Yi still saw a hint of loneliness in his father's eyes.
My father liked his job very much, and he also liked to show his status in Zhenxian Division in front of his mother, but all this ended when his arm was broken.
If you lose your arm, you lose your future.
The Zhenxian Division does not need a disabled captain, and those warm friends and brothers who used to be so enthusiastic have naturally become strangers.
Ning Yi saw the desolate atmosphere in the bedroom, and his heart moved. He took out the fire and rain talisman, handed it to his father, and said with a smile: "I forgot to mention it. I gained a lot from this retreat. Oh, I drew the talisman."
"It's really you who drew it."
Ning Zhan took the Fire Rain Talisman and looked at it, then sat up and stared at Ning Yi excitedly. After receiving a second affirmative reply, Ning Zhan laughed happily, "Yi'er is so impressive, it's worth losing an arm to me.
"
"Crazy, stupid."
Su Kuan was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw her husband in high spirits.
How could a wife not see the reluctance in her husband's heart and the loneliness that occasionally showed in his eyes?
In addition to comforting her, all she can do is to occasionally give her husband a blow, hoping that he can recognize the reality as soon as possible and give up his fantasy.
"Does Yi'er's drawing of the magic talisman have anything to do with you losing your arm?"
"Haha, you are absolutely right. If you say no, then there is no."
Ning Zhan got off the bed and shouted: "Cuichu, we are not eating at home tonight. I want to entertain my colleagues at Wangjiang Tower and have fun together."
"It's all up to you."
Su Kuan rolled her eyes at Ning Zhan, hesitated, and said, "Why don't we change places? The food in Wangjiang Tower is too expensive and not very delicious."
"Mother, father is happy, I will pay for it."
Ning Yi patted his chest and said with joy: "I made a fortune from betting a few days ago. Guess how much money the spirit beast I brought back is worth."
“How much is a donkey worth?”
Su Kuang didn't think so. The donkey looked ordinary and wasn't nearly as big as an ordinary donkey, so Su Kuang didn't think it was very valuable.
But Ning Zhan happily ran to the small courtyard, looked around a few times, and exclaimed: "My dear, this is... a donkey. It's worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. What have you done? Why are you like this?"
A lot of money."
Su Kuang ran out quickly, circling around the donkey, touching the donkey's butt and patting the donkey's head from time to time, muttering: "This is worth hundreds of thousands taels, maybe someone has cheated me. However, Yi'er's ten
Tens of thousands of taels of silver."
The donkey lowered his head, pulled his ears, and a fierce light flashed in the depths of his eyes from time to time.
Several times I wanted to open my mouth to swallow the nagging woman next to me, who kept being 'frivolous', but with the evil thoughts, my soul was slightly shaken, and the shadow of death fell.
Fortunately, Ning Yi was prepared and briefly told what happened at the Spiritual Fruit Fairy Meeting.
The couple were very relieved and happy after hearing this, but Su Yuan looked a little worried.
After all, the other party is the prince of the wolf clan. If he wants revenge, the little school captain's family in Chang'an City will suffer disaster.
Ning Zhan saw his wife's worries and laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, although I hate the wolf clan, they are more particular than the human clan in some aspects. He is a high-ranking prince, and if he really takes revenge on our family, it will be the wolves who will lose it."
The face of the clan.”
Ning Yi looked at his father in surprise.
He seems to see this matter more clearly than himself.
What kind of people do they do?
He thought about killing himself to take revenge, which is a typical thinking of ordinary people in the market.
As a member of the royal family, I still have a certain amount of tolerance. To say the least, even if it is revenge, I will not resort to murder in Chang'an City.
Ning Yi figured this out later.
As a result, it is really a mystery where the dangerous aura I sensed that day came from.
…………
The Li River flows through the four states of the Tang Dynasty, with a length of 30,000 miles from east to west.
The surging river passes through Chang'an City, and there are many tall buildings on both sides of the river.
In the evening, the painted boats on the river are lit up, and the river surface reflected by the colorful lights is translucent. The boats move on the river as if they are rowing in the clouds.
In front of Wangjiang Tower, there are cars, horses and water dragons.
Ning Zhan changed into a brocade dress, and the silver embroidered edges gave off an aura of wealth. Su Kuang wore a silk palace skirt, which made her plump and charming figure appear.
She is several years younger and plumper and more charming.
Ning Yi secretly observed that along the way, his father's eyes secretly lingered on his mother many times, which made him feel a little funny.
The three of them came to the building. Ning Zhan refused to go in, saying he wanted to welcome guests at the door.
Looking at his father riding on the donkey with a smile on his face, Ning Yi shook his head.
Hey, man!
After a while, a group of uniformed officials from the Zhenxian Division arrived on horseback, chatting and laughing.
As an important defensive force in Chang'an, the Zhenxian Division's status in Chang'an Mansion is higher than that of ordinary government officials. It is really majestic for a group of people to walk together and avoid others.
The moment Ning Yi saw the smile on Ning Zhan's face freeze, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
With a broken arm, although I can still work at the Zhenxian Division, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to do field work in the future.
"Haha, some brothers came early, please come inside quickly."
Ning Zhan jumped off the donkey and greeted him enthusiastically.
The leader, Ning Yi, had some impressions. His name was Yang Nian, and he had the same position as his father. They were both school captains.
Although the two of them seemed to have a good relationship on the surface and greeted each other warmly, they were actually at odds with each other. After Ning Zhan was injured, any further hope was lost.
"Brother Ning, why are you so generous this time and willing to entertain guests at Wangjiang Tower?"
Yang Nian laughed loudly and said, "I remember the last time Brother Ning was willing to bleed so heavily was when my nephew was admitted to Jixia Academy."
After saying that, he nodded to Su Kuan and smiled to Ning Yi.
This person is also an all-rounder, taking care of everything so that no one will feel coldly treated. However, the attitude of a winner cannot be concealed. Without Ning Zhan as a competitor, he will be the only hope of becoming President Qian.
The meeting will be much better, "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. Let it go, I understand. As long as I am here in Zhenxian, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks to Brother Ning."
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Su Kuan smiled and was blessed. The smile on Yang Nian's face became even brighter. Looking at Ning Zhan's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a bit condescending.
Seeing a competitor leave the field unluckily, it is inevitable for anyone to feel a little complacent.
Ning Zhan groaned, put his right hand on the donkey bag, and rubbed it, and said clearly, look at the new spiritual beast my family bought.
It has to be said that the donkey is not a spiritual beast that can just put on a show.
If it had been a colorful deer, I'm afraid the entire Wangjiang Tower would have been crowded with people who wanted to watch the fun.
Finally, a colleague from the Zhenxian Division noticed the donkey. He took a closer look and said with wide eyes: "This is... the donkey. Looking at its withered head and droopy head, I almost thought it was an ordinary donkey.
"
"It's true."
"Don't mention it, other spiritual beasts are born with different appearances, but this one has a common face."
Everyone was talking a lot, but they didn't see the anger welling up from the depths of Baodong's eyes. If he wanted to harm himself, he would devour all the people here in one bite.
"Okay, I can't tell that Brother Ning is so rich."
Yang Nian was a little annoyed, and even the smile on his face looked a little unnatural.
"Haha, it's all children trying to live up to their expectations."
Ning Zhan's face was filled with joy. He pulled Ning Yi and said, "Everyone, my child has just finished his studies and can already draw some low-level talismans. If necessary in the future, everyone only needs to provide the materials and let Yi'er
Draw talismans for everyone for free."
Marry Su poked her husband and reminded him not to get carried away.
He obviously has no ability, so he shows off his son's ability.
Ning Yi smiles and says nothing.
If you really want to find one, just try and fail a few more times. As long as the cost is high enough, you can guarantee that people won't come here a second time.
"Haha, nephew Ning is such a young genius."
"You've only been in school for two years and you can draw talismans. You're probably very rare in Jixia Academy."
"The future is limitless."
Colleagues from the Zhenxian Division were complimented for a while, their expressions obviously different from just now.
Yang Nian's condescending attitude disappeared, and his smile became a little cautious.
The Zhenxian Division Yamen officer looked at Ning Yi in the eyes. He no longer had the look of an elder looking at a junior. His smile was filled with flattery and compliments, and he looked a little reserved.
The students of Jixia Academy are the disciples of the emperor. Even ordinary students will have a good place after graduation. As for those top-notch students, they are already the targets of all parties before they graduate. In the past few years, Wei Guogong blocked his son-in-law in front of his door, but there was a lot of trouble.
There was a storm in the city, and even His Majesty cursed him in private for being shameless.
It can be seen that the top students from Jixia Academy are in high demand.
Facing a young man from Jixia Academy who might become an important minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future, the Zhenxian Division official said that he was under a lot of pressure, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"Ning Zhan is really lucky."
Ning Zhan's face was happy, his mouth was modest, and his heart was extremely happy, and the decadence after his broken arm was wiped away.
The group walked into Wangjiang Tower chatting and laughing, and the waiter came forward to take away the mount and take it to the stable.
A fierce light flashed in the donkey's eyes, staring at the saliva flowing from several horses...
