There are not a few famous restaurants in Jianye Beijing, and there are even more wine shops without a name.

Life in the world, food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable, Jianye capital every day there are people from the south to the north back and forth, to the capital, to taste the wine and food in the capital is naturally also essential.

If there are many restaurants and restaurants, not every restaurant will be able to prosper.

The location of Tang Kee Restaurant is relatively remote, and there are no chefs in charge, so it is natural that the business is cold, but the surrounding neighbors occasionally gather here to drink a little wine, although the business is not good, but it is not a problem to barely make ends meet.

Yan Lingxian frowned slightly when he came to the door of Tang Ji Restaurant.

It's okay that the door curtain is old, but it is still stained with oil, and before it can be entered, it will greatly reduce people's appetite, but Yan Lingxian knows very well in his heart that Qi Ning let himself come here, not to invite himself to dinner, but to find himself for something.

When he went out today, a beggar walked past him and threw him a note, but the location was written on it, and the money was Qi Ning.

If it were someone else, Yan Lingxian, who was one of the Big Dipper Stars of the Shenhou Mansion, would not pay attention to it, but he didn't dare not come to Qi Ning's call.

He followed the ghost-faced man behind his back to practice secretly, but he was forced out of kung fu by Qi Ning in a hurry, of course Yan Lingxian knew that once this matter was known by Ximen Wuxian, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Ximen Wuxian has always been protective of his shortcomings and takes great care of the people under his hands, his majesty is extremely strict, and the first rule of the Shenhou Mansion is to be loyal and must not collude with outsiders.

Yan Lingxian knew very well in his heart that once Ximen Wuxian knew that he was practicing martial arts with the ghost-faced man, it would not be a big deal whether he could stay in the Shenhou Mansion, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life.

Qi Ning grabbed this handle, but he couldn't kill Qi Ning, so he could only bow down and obey his orders.

In order to come to see Qi Ning, this broken military captain specially changed into a very ordinary shirt, his appearance is actually very ordinary, this outfit is not conspicuous when he walks in the crowd.

Entered the wine shop, glanced at it, and saw Qi Ning, who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, was sitting in the corner, at this time, there was no one in the wine shop, Qi Ning saw Yan Lingxian come in, so he got up, opened the curtain of the back door and walked out, Yan Lingxian frowned slightly, but still followed, behind is a small courtyard that is not wide, there is a room on the left and right, Qi Ning turned to the house on the left and left, Yan Lingxian followed in, the house was very simple, and there was really wine and food on the table.

Yan Lingxian closed the door, walked over, and arched his hand: "Guogong! ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, motioned for Yan Lingxian to sit down, and then said with a smile: "I haven't met Captain Yan for a while, so don't be surprised if you bother to come out today." ”

"Don't dare." Yan Lingxian was very worried in his heart, "What does the Duke of Guo command?" ”

Qi Ning got straight to the point and said: "Did the Shenhou Mansion imprison a Qinghai-Tibetan lama yesterday?" ”

"Tibetan Lama?" Yan Lingxian was surprised: "Guogong, Dachu has no contact with the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and there have never been any Qinghai-Tibetan lamas in the capital, why did Guogong suddenly ask like this?" ”

"Are you telling me that there are no imprisoned lamas in the Shenhou Mansion?"

Yan Lingxian shook his head and said, "Guogong will get married in a few days, Xiao ..... The little junior sister grew up with us since she was a child, because the happy event was approaching, the second senior brother also instructed us not to get blood on our hands recently, and some prisoners to be interrogated, if not particularly urgent, will be left after the little junior sister gets married. In fact, we are all preparing for the little junior sister's family affairs now, and we haven't arrested anyone at all. A suspicious look appeared on his face: "The Qinghai-Tibet Lama that Guogong said, I don't know what it is?" ”

Qi Ning stared at Yan Lingxian's eyes and asked, "Captain Yan is sure that the Shenhou Mansion has not arrested anyone?" ”

Yan Lingxian was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "Guogong, there is a prison in the Shenhou Mansion, called the Ghost Prison, and the Ghost Prison has always been in charge of Senior Brother Han, except for Senior Brother Han and the jailers he chose himself, even Senior Brother is not allowed to enter the Ghost Prison without the permission of the Divine Queen. I haven't heard of anyone arresting the Qinghai-Tibet lama you mentioned, but it's just ..... If Senior Brother Han's people secretly arrested the lama and then locked him up in the ghost prison, then we don't know. ”

"Ghost Prison?"

"Exactly." Yan Lingxian explained: "Some people can't be caught in the Shenhou Mansion openly, so Senior Brother Han leads people to secretly arrest them, and then put them in a ghost prison. ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment before asking: "You are one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the Shenhou Mansion, naturally there is a way to find out if the lama is imprisoned in the ghost prison, if there is any news, tell me immediately." ”

"Guogong, this ..... It's not going to work. Yan Lingxian hurriedly said: "The ghost prison is heavily guarded, and the senior brother can't go in, I'..... How can I get in? ”

Qi Ning frowned and sneered, "Captain Yan, do you think I'm discussing with you?" I'm just asking you to look it up, and you'll need an accurate answer soon. ”

Yan Lingxian had a bitter face and said helplessly: "I'll try to find a way." ”

"Has Xuanyuan Po not returned to Beijing yet?" Qi Ning asked.

Yan Lingxian nodded and said, "After the last attack on Chaowuling, Senior Brother has been staying in Xichuan, and we don't know what he is doing over there, but he has never returned. Now the Shenhou Mansion is managed by the second senior brother, I asked the second senior brother, and the second senior brother said a few words to me, let's not ask about the senior brother in the future. He lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother must be doing something that cannot be spread in Xichuan." ”

"He's been staying in Xichuan?" Qi Ning was puzzled in his heart, secretly thinking that Xichuan could have something to do with Xuanyuan Po to stay there all the time?

"Guogong, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Yan Lingxian got up: "When there is news, I will report to you immediately." ”

"You sit down first." Qi Ning pressed his hand: "There is still something I want to ask you." ”

Yan Lingxian and Qi Ning were together, they always felt like a mang on their backs, and they couldn't wait to leave early, but they were stopped by Qi Ning, so they had no choice but to sit down.

"Shenhou is not in good health, you naturally know." Qi Ning sighed, "I've been worried about the body of the gods. ”

Yan Lingxian didn't expect Qi Ning to suddenly mention Ximen Wuxian, so he was stunned for a moment, but immediately said: "Shenhou has strong martial arts and deep internal strength, even if there are some minor illnesses and disasters, he can always survive it." ”

"Captain Yan, how many people in this world say that their martial arts are better than those of the gods?"

Yan Lingxian hesitated for a moment before he said: "Guogong, Shenhou's martial arts are unfathomable, looking at the world, there are only a handful of masters who can match him. In fact, we have discussed it in private, and we all say that the master of the Great Light Temple is good at martial arts, but we think that if we really want to make a move, the master of the empty treasure may not be the opponent of the gods. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning smiled and said: "Master Kongzang is the host of the Great Bright Temple, the Great Bright Temple is the head of all temples in the world, and the prestige of the Ten Monks of Bright is known to the world, why are you sure that Master Kongzang is not the opponent of the gods?" ”

Yan Lingxian lowered his voice and said, "Guogong, this is not my mouth. Although Master Kongzang's martial arts are high, he is only a school of martial arts, and he is far beyond the scope of the gods. ”

"You're not right." Qi Ning said with a smile: "I also know that Shenhou is familiar with various martial arts, but then again, Master Kongzang is dedicated to studying the martial arts of the Great Light Temple, and Shenhou has dabbled too much, and his cultivation in martial arts may not be as pure as Master Kongzang's." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Yan Lingxian's mouth, and he said proudly: "If this is put on others, it is true, but it is not possible to use it on Shenhou." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Guogong knows that Shenhou is involved in various martial arts, but does he know the hard work that Shenhou put into pursuing martial arts back then?" Yan Lingxian said: "Not many people know about this, and after Guogong hears about it, don't spread it." ”

"Don't spread the word?" Qi Ningqi said: "What does this mean?" ”

Yan Lingxian said: "Guogong knows that the beggar gang has two great learnings, one is the drunken dream nine styles, and the other is the reverse tendon scripture!" ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know." "I thought that Lao Tzu had even practiced the Drunken Dream Nine Styles, so naturally there was no need to tell you.

Yan Lingxian said: "Shen Hou thought about getting these two divine skills back then, but these two skills can only be learned by the previous beggar gang leaders, so Shen Hou has never been able to get them. However, there are many martial arts in the Shen Hou Beggar Gang, and by chance, he got another kung fu of the Beggar Gang, and spent a year practicing, and after a year, he found the leader of the Beggar Gang at that time, and competed, do you know what the result is? ”

"The result?"

"Shen Hou used the kung fu of the beggar gang to defeat the leader of the beggar gang." Yan Lingxian said: "This is just the tip of the iceberg, why are the eight gangs and sixteen factions in awe of the gods?" Among the eight gangs and sixteen factions, many of the gangs have practiced the gods and nephews, and they have all privately sought their suzerains to learn, as far as I know, the gods defeated them one by one with their gang's martial arts, and because of this, the eight gangs and sixteen factions respect and fear the gods. ”

Qi Ning was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that this Ximen Wuxian was really a martial arts wizard.

It is necessary to know that the martial arts of each gang are different, and if you can practice a kung fu, you can become the suzerain of one party, and Ximen Wuxian can be proficient in the martial arts of each faction, and even use the other way to return the other body, and use the other party's martial arts to defeat the other party, this kind of strength is really terrifying.

"You mean to say that over the years, Shen Hou has often secretly fought with masters?" Qi Ning asked: "But for the sake of face, I am worried that the other party will lose and spread the word and lose its reputation, so I don't publicize it to the public?" ”

Yan Lingxian bowed his head and said, "That's right." If it is really spread out, many sect masters on the rivers and lakes will lose face. After a pause, he said: "At the beginning, Shenhou was not in the capital for most of the year, traveling around, and most of the affairs of the Shenhou Mansion were handled by the senior brother and the second senior brother, so everyone was used to Shenhou not being in the yamen. For the longest time, the gods have not come back for nearly a year, but fortunately, the first emperor has a lot of trust in the gods, what the gods do, the first emperor rarely asks, if it is someone else, leaving the yamen for nearly a year, then it will be repaid. ”

"Gone for almost a year?" Qi Ning immediately asked, "When was that?" ”

Yan Lingxian thought for a while before saying: "That was four years ago, and after that time, Shenhou rarely left Beijing, maybe because he was old and no longer went out." ”

"..... four years ago!" Qi Ning's eyes were sharp, and he muttered, "It turned out that he was injured four years ago!" ”
