Chapter 22: The Assassins Are Coming!
Traitors in prosperous times, traitors in troubled times, and wolves?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and after looking at each other, they all looked at Shen Ning.
Hiss... This guy is still eating melons!
In fact, Shen Ning was very angry, guessing that this old bastard couldn't say anything good, but he didn't expect it to be so ugly, is this comparing himself to a combination of Cao Cao and Sima Yi? I like other people's wives, but I definitely don't have Sima Yi's forbearance.
"Ding-dong... Fame +40. ”
Shen Ning's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became less angry.
Although it's a bad reputation, the increase in the score is also very powerful, and it's about to collect the full score in a blink of an eye. In addition, it is better to be a bad person than to be a good person, at least it is not so tiring.
At this moment, Shen Ning, as the victim, had not yet expressed his anger, Wang Beixuan exclaimed in shock: "Xuanji Daoist, is this true?" ”
"Of course it's true! This is the result of a glimpse into his future destiny. After Xuanji Daoist finished speaking, he looked at Li Qingkong again and said, "Miss Li, after you marry this person, what will be the fate of the Li family in the future, it is really unknown, I hope you think about which is more important." ”
Li Qingkong glanced at the Xuanji Dao Master, moved his gaze to Shen Ning, and asked, "Zhao Baoyu, do you recognize the Xuanji Dao Master's proverbs?" ”
Shen Ning asked, "Daoist Xuanji, is your proverb about Zhao Baoyu?" ”
"Of course it's you Zhao Baoyu!" Xuanji Dao Chief affirmed.
Shen Ning nodded with a smile and said, "Then I have no opinion, not to mention that I don't agree, can the Xuanji Daoist change the proverbs?" ”
It's Zhao Baoyu, what's the matter with him Shen Ning!
"I advise Zhao Gongzi to do a good deed every day to avoid going astray in the future! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! There is still something to do in the poor road, so retire first! "Xuanji Dao is the first to say.
Wang Beixuan hurriedly escorted the Xuanji Daoist away.
Then, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and today's three fortune-checking processes were really eye-opening, especially Zhao Baoyu's proverbs, which turned out to be a traitor.
Wang Beifeng seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward to ridicule: "Zhao Gongzi, fortunately we are not friends, you will be a traitor in the future, and having a relationship with you is simply the biggest insult to me." ”
"Wang Beifeng, you are so rebellious that you slander Your Majesty today!" Shen Ning suddenly slapped the table and stood up, pointing at him and shouting angrily.
Everyone was frightened by Shen Ning's angry shouts and was stunned there.
Wang Beifeng roared: "Zhao Baoyu, you don't want to frame it!" When have I humiliated His Majesty? ”
Shen Ning smiled and said: "When today's selection of official talents is based on the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, what is looked at is character and virtue, if I can become an important minister in the future, I will inevitably pass through layers of screening, but you say that I am a traitor, isn't this slanderous Your Majesty who knows people and has no eyes?" Okay, Wang Beifeng, is this your opinion, or your Wang family's opinion? Could it be that you have long been tired of the benevolent government of His Majesty today? ”
Wang Beifeng's body trembled, and cold sweat broke out.
"I didn't, this is the proverb of the Xuanji Daoist to measure your fate, and I didn't say it!" Wang Beifeng hurriedly explained.
Shen Ning sneered and said, "He's running fast, I was about to ask him, is it a prosperous or troubled era now?" When he said that I was a traitor in troubled times, he was insinuating that troubled times were coming! Now that His Majesty is benevolent to the world, the country and the people are safe, and he actually curses the troubled times, I want to ask him, is this the meaning of the Heavenly Master's Dao? ”
Everyone didn't dare to refute, but they cursed secretly in their hearts: "It's really a traitor!" ”
Now that various places are divided, and the people are not able to make a living, where can we see the peace of the country and the people? But on the table, this has to be said like this, who dares to refute it?
Wang Beifeng originally humiliated Shen Ning, but he didn't expect to be so stunned that he didn't dare to speak, and the hatred in his heart can be imagined.
"Hmph..."Wang Beifeng couldn't stay any longer, so he immediately threw up his sleeves and left.
The rest of the people also said goodbye, and the banquet broke up unhappily.
Shen Ning, Li Qingkong, and Yu Xuefei fell last.
"Hey, traitor, why don't you care at all?" Yu Xuefei surrounded Shen Ning and said with a smile.
In her opinion, with this bad reputation, Clear Sky will be able to persuade her father to cancel this marriage, after all, once the reputation of the traitorous man in the troubled times spreads, even the Li Mansion will be affected, don't underestimate the influence of reputation, verbal criticism is better than swords, guns and halberds, and those who play weapons will never be able to play tricks.
Zhao Baoyu shook his shoulders and said casually: "Jade niece, even if I say it, you don't understand." ”
Yu Xuefei gritted her teeth in anger, and then pulled Li Qingkong forward, ignoring him.
Leaving Lanxiang Garden, Li Qingkong suddenly said: "I have something to deal with, Zhao Gongzi is just on the way, and I have to trouble Zhao Gongzi to send my aunt home." ”
Yu Xuefei glanced at Li Qingkong, because Shen Ning was here, the two didn't elaborate, but Yu Xuefei nodded, and seemed to know where Li Qingkong went.
"Good!" Shen Ning agreed.
Li Qingkong left with two escorts, while Yu Xuefei got into the carriage, and Shen Ning rode a horse and accompanied him back to the Li Mansion.
After walking for a while, Yu Xuefei opened the bamboo curtain, looked at Shen Ning through the car window, and said, "Zhao Baoyu, in fact, you are not suitable for Qingtian. ”
This time, Yu Xuefei's tone was sincere.
Shen Ning turned his head to look at her sideways and asked, "Are you saying I'm not worthy of her?" ”
"You really didn't deserve it before, but now you have literature and martial arts, which is very good, but you and her are really not suitable. Why don't you quit this marriage contract and find another good match? Yu Xuefei did not say why.
Shen Ning smiled: "How do you know the depth without trying, and how do you know if it's suitable or not?" Let's wait for General Li to come back and discuss this matter. Also, do you really know me? ”
Yu Xuefei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, Shen Ning's smile was full of mystery in her eyes. Not only that, but the more they get along, the more unknown they are to him.
Da Da...
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slabs, making a crisp sound, and they got closer and closer to the Li Mansion, and after passing through a side street, they could return to the Li Mansion.
There are not many pedestrians on this side street, and there are two-story wooden buildings on both sides, which seems very quiet.
Shen Ning noticed something unusual.
He cautiously looked at the houses on both sides of the street, in his previous life, as a top killer, he had developed a keen sixth sense, and he felt the killing intention.
This time, Li Qingkong and Yu Xuefei went out, only bringing six guards, Li Qingkong took two away, and there were four people left, counting himself, there were only five people, and I didn't know the martial arts attainments of these four people.
"Yu Xuefei, hide and don't show up!"
Shen Ning looked at Yu Xuefei with a cautious expression.
It was the first time for Yu Xuefei to see Shen Ning so solemn, so she nodded subconsciously, and then shrank in the carriage. After hiding, Yu Xuefei reacted, why should she be obedient? Also, what happened?
At this moment, on the upper floors on both sides of the street, more than a dozen killers suddenly burst out, holding blades, and jumped down.
"Whoosh..."
The flying knife in Shen Ning's hand flew out, and before the two assassins could land, they were killed by knives in their throats. But the other Assassins didn't care, and continued to charge at them.
The pedestrians fled in fright, and the four guards reacted a beat slower, but they quickly drew their swords and protected the carriage.
"Kill!" The assassin raised his sword and slashed, and everyone immediately fought together.
The three of them besieged Shen Ning at the same time, and Shen Ning dodged and grabbed one person's blade and killed two people in a row.
The remaining assassins besieged and killed the four guards, although the four of them had good martial arts skills and were all in the realm of great warriors, but they could not stand the assassins and were soon seriously injured.
Shen Ning immediately stepped forward to help, and with the strength of one person, he killed five people in a row, stopping the assassin's plot. Three of the four guards were also seriously wounded and killed.
However, Shen Ning did not dare to relax at all, these assassins were all small fish and shrimp, and the real masters had just appeared.
I saw an old man walking slowly with a dagger in his hands.
Shen Ning eliminated all the remaining assassins, panting slightly, and staring coldly at this old man.
Although this person is old, he puts a lot of pressure on Shen Ning, it seems that this person is a great martial artist with internal strength.
