When Qi Ning came out of the palace, it was already past midnight.

If there was an accident among other local officials, it would naturally not be Qi Ning's turn to investigate in person, but this time it was the governor of the East China Sea who had the accident, which was not only a major event for the Shantai family, but also a major event for the Chu State.

Qi Ning could naturally hear that Sima Lan didn't want to investigate the case by himself, but the old marquis of Lantai was obviously very persistent.

Qi Ning is also keenly aware that the direct consequence of the death of the East China Sea Division this time is that the East China Sea Division has no leader, and as a result, the East China Sea Division will inevitably usher in a great shock.

After coming out of the palace, Qi Ning did not go back to the house directly, but went to the leisure residence where the Ximen Shenhou was located.

Although Ximen Wuxian is the god of the Shenhou Mansion, he has less and less time in the Shenhou Mansion now, but he often stays in the leisure house, and the old Shenhou's body looks much worse than before.

Xianleju is located in the middle of the night, when Qi Ning came to Xianleju, it was already the middle of the night, he couldn't be sure whether Ximen Wuxian already knew the news of the suicide of Xiangtai Zhilin, after all, the matter was blocked at the first time, and it was not spread to the outside world, but the Shenhou Mansion has vast magical powers, even if Ximen Wuxian knew the news, it would not be surprising.

There was a quiet place in the leisure house, and Ximen Wuxian seemed to have fallen asleep, Qi Ning hesitated, and finally knocked on the door.

The knock on the door was very crisp at night, and after a long while, I heard a voice from inside: "Who is it?" It was a girl's voice, and Qi Ning immediately heard that it was Ximen Zhan Ying's voice.

After the competition in the palace that day, Qi Ning has never seen Ximen Zhan Ying again, and now it has been a long time, and according to the customs of Chu State, after the marriage, it is not appropriate for both men and women to meet in private.

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhan Sakura, it's me!" ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, Qi Ning heard a voice from behind the door: "You..... What are you here to do? It's late......! ”

"That...... Is God there? Qi Ning said softly: "I have something urgent to see!" ”

"Daddy is already asleep." Ximen Zhan Sakura whispered behind the door, "Why don't you ..... Or you'll come early tomorrow morning. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that when he was discussing the matter, both the emperor and the old marquis of Lantai hoped that he would leave as soon as possible, and he would spare a day to deal with the things at hand, and he would set off the day after tomorrow, and he really didn't have time to go back and forth, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "I know that God is resting, but .......!" After a pause, he still said, "That's it, then you should rest early, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

He thought that things were in a hurry, and in the middle of the night, the third watch called Ximen Wuxian up, after all, it was still inappropriate, he turned around and was about to leave, he didn't take a few steps, he heard a "creak", but the door of the house was opened, Qi Ning stopped his steps, turned around, and saw that the door of the house was half opened, and Ximen Zhan Sakura was standing by the door, and he didn't speak.

Qi Ning looked left and right, and didn't talk nonsense, his figure flashed, and he had already slipped into it lightly, Ximen Zhan Ying closed the door easily, turned around, and saw Qi Ning in front of him, the two were close at hand, Ximen Zhan Ying's heart jumped, and he took a step back, Qi Ning looked at it by the moonlight at this time, and saw that Ximen Zhan Ying was wearing an extremely loose cyan silk skirt, and her temples were slightly messy, obviously she had just gotten up, but she looked more pretty like this.

Ximen Zhan Ying has been practicing martial arts for many years, and the lines of her body are naturally more three-dimensional than that of ordinary girls, and her beautiful body is wrapped in a silk skirt, which is graceful and moving.

Seeing Qi Ning's eyes sweeping over him, Ximen Zhan Ying's cheeks were slightly hot, but Qi Ning couldn't help but whisper: "Zhan Ying, you seem to be much more beautiful." ”

"You..... You just like to talk nonsense. Ximen Zhan Ying was praised by Qi Ning, but there was a burst of joy in his heart, and he said a little shyly: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”

Qi Ning deliberately walked closer and said in a low voice: "I'll come over to see my daughter-in-law, I won't be guilty, right?" ”

"Also.... hasn't married yet, it's not your daughter-in-law. Ximen Zhan Ying lowered his head, not daring to look at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning saw that Ximen Zhan Ying, who was heroic and sassy on weekdays, looked shy, and had a touching flavor, so he couldn't help but reach over and hold her hand, Ximen Zhan Ying was taken aback, and wanted to break free, and said in a low voice: "You..... Don't mess around, Daddy is still there. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this was not a joke, if Ximen Wuxian saw that he came to take advantage of his daughter in the middle of the night, he might not have good fruit to eat, for that old god, Qi Ning was still quite jealous, let go of his hand, Ximen Zhan Ying saw this, his lips couldn't help but smile, he glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that you are also afraid." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid." Qi Ning said in a low voice: "I'm just patient, anyway, in some time, you will be my daughter-in-law, when the time comes, I will hold you as much as I want, and I will kiss you as much as I want.....!" ”

Ximen Zhan Ying heard what he said, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Still talking? If you.... If I talk nonsense again, I'll call Daddy out. ”

Qi Ning smiled and asked in a low voice, "Zhan Sakura, are you asleep?" I'm in a hurry to find him. ”

"What's the urgency to come in the middle of the night?" Ximen Zhan Ying frowned and said: "Daddy's health is not very good these days, and he won't let me go to a doctor if I want to find a doctor, I really don't know..... Don't know what to do. ”

"Sick of God?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Aren't you okay?" ”

"Not for a while." Ximen Zhan Ying's eyebrows showed a worried look, and he sighed lightly: "A few nights ago, it was still ..... I vomited blood......! ”

Qi Ning was taken aback, with Simon's hateless cultivation, he would vomit blood, which showed that he was very sick.

But Qi Ning also knows that no matter how high the martial arts are, it is also flesh and blood, not immortals, and it is inevitable to be born, old, sick and die, Ximen Wuxian is now old and weak, it is also unavoidable, but it is really strange to be seriously ill and not invite a doctor to see the disease.

Seeing Ximen Zhan Ying's worried face, Qi Ning said softly: "Zhan Ying, Shen Hou is good at martial arts, and his body is not an ordinary person, even if he is sick, if he takes care of his care over time, he will definitely recover." ”

Ximen Zhan Ying snorted lightly and said softly: "You help me persuade my father, every time I ask him to find a doctor, he says that those doctors can't do medical skills, and even he can't cure the disease himself, and those doctors can't see anything at all." Youyou said: "Daddy is too proud in this life, never asks for help, and now that he is old, he still doesn't admit defeat, and he doesn't even let the doctor see if he is sick." ”

"God waits for a hero, and naturally I don't feel that I have to find someone if I have a minor illness." Qi Ning sighed lightly: "Zhan Ying, don't worry too much, I'll go back and persuade him." ”

Ximen Zhan Sakura nodded, and then said in a low voice: "What are you doing here to find Daddy so late?" ”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before he said, "Actually..... It's about the two of us. ”

Ximen Zhan Ying's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "Didn't the third old lady of your family come to discuss this time?" You..... What are you doing on your own? "I think that other people's marriages are all made by matchmakers, and there is no need for you, the groom, to come out in person.

"Zhan Sakura, do you know that something big has happened in the East China Sea." Qi Ning's expression became solemn.

"Big deal? East China Sea? Ximen Zhan Ying wondered: "What's the big deal?" ”

Qi Ning looked at Ximen Zhan Ying's reaction, and thought to himself that Ximen Zhan Ying really didn't know that Tantai Zhilin was dead, but he didn't know if Ximen Wuxian deliberately concealed it, or even Ximen Wuxian didn't get the information.

Qi Ning didn't hide it, and told him about the suicide of Zhantai Zhilin, and Ximen Zhan Sakura lost his face and said in surprise: "The governor of Lantai committed suicide?" This..... How is this possible. ”

"The imperial court also thinks that this matter is very strange, so ......!" Qi Ning wanted to speak and stopped.

He knew very well in his heart that for Ximen Zhan Sakura, he may be immersed in the joy of being a wife now, and the two families have been talking about this family affair for a while, and good things are coming, if he tells him that he is going to the East China Sea to investigate at this time, it may make Ximen Zhan Sakura very disappointed.

Ximen Zhan Sakura seemed to understand something, and asked in a low voice, "That..... Did the imperial court send you to the East China Sea? ”

Qi Ning was stunned, thinking that Ximen Zhan Ying was smart, and said with a wry smile: "I just came to the palace, and the old marquis of Shantai will talk to me alone tonight, what he means is that this time the governor of Lantai committed suicide, and there is something strange, so I can only go to Xiangjia in the East China Sea to investigate." Moreover, the imperial court is worried that after the death of the governor of the Taidu, the situation in the East China Sea will be turbulent, and the imperial court is now preparing for the Northern Expedition, once there is a change in the East China Sea, it will inevitably hinder the imperial court's Northern Expedition plan, and even miss the opportunity to dominate the world......! ”

There was a slight disappointment between Ximen Zhan Yingmeiyu, but he still said, "You are..... You are the secretary of the criminal department, such a big case happened in the East China Sea, and it is also necessary to send you there.... And rightfully so. ”

"Zhan Sakura, we're going to get married soon, but ..... at this moment!" Qi Ning felt a little guilty in his heart.

Ximen Zhan Ying smiled reluctantly, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry, I know that the state affairs are big, and if such a big thing happens, if you leave it out of the way, it won't be you." You went to Xichuan and sent an envoy to Dongqi, and in the end it was all a success, this time..... This time I went to the East China Sea, and I will definitely find out the truth smoothly. ”

Ximen Zhan Ying was so considerate, Qi Ning always felt even more guilty, stretched out his hand and gently hugged Ximen Zhan Ying, hugged him into his arms, Ximen Zhan Ying was stunned for a moment, but still let Qi Ning hold it, Qi Ning said softly: "Zhan Ying, this time I go to the East China Sea, I will finish things quickly, and when I come back, we will get married immediately." ”

"You..... You're good to go. Ximen Zhan Ying said in a low voice: "Daddy is not in good health, I want to stay by his side to take care of it, this time.... I can't go with you this time, you have to take care of yourself outside, anyway..... I'll wait for you to come back anyway. ”

Qi Ning hugged Ximen Zhan Ying's soft body tightly, the moonlight was faint and affectionate.

"I'm going to call Daddy." After a while, Ximen Zhanying gently pushed Qi Ning away: "If you go to the East China Sea, you won't be able to come back for a while, so you can only change the wedding date, this matter is ..... I'll have to talk to my dad about this. ”

"Hmm." Qi Ning nodded and said, "I came here tonight just to discuss this matter with the gods and see if I can postpone the wedding by a month." ”

Ximen Zhan Sakura nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "You wait a minute, I'll take a look." Went straight to the Ximen Traceless House, Qi Ning waited in the courtyard, thinking about how to explain to the West Gate Traceless later, but after a while, he saw Ximen Zhan Ying hurriedly coming over, his face was full of worry, Qi Ning hurriedly went up and asked, "Shenhou is awake?" ”

"No ......!" Ximen Zhan Ying said anxiously: "He..... He's not in the house, he's not in the house! ”
