The horses walked slowly, as if they were carrying their masters on their backs for a leisurely walk by the river.

The frightened Yulin soldiers didn't recognize who this person was, but when his horse came over, all the Yulin soldiers involuntarily made way for him, it seemed that subconsciously, it was a natural thing for this person to appear to make way for him, but when the horse walked leisurely in front of him, Yulin Bing was surprised and asked himself, why did he want to make way for him?

The gray-robed man on horseback was holding the reins of the horse with one hand, and caressing the mane on the horse's back with the other, only seven or eight steps away from Qi Ning, and finally stopped.

Qi Ning stared at the dark glowing mask on the gray-robed man's face, and his pupils contracted.

The air seemed to freeze, and the pair of viper-like eyes with fierce colors under the mask stared at Qi Ning, and the horse snorted and shook its neck, and its thick mane fluttered, looking unusually elegant.

The other party said the word "Heavenly Veiner" in one mouthful, and Qi Ning immediately knew that the other party was by no means simple.

There are not many people in the world who know about the existence of the Heavenly Veiner, and for Qi Ning, who is almost close to the Heavenly Vein, few people know that his meridians are different from ordinary people, but the other party obviously knows this secret, and he broke it in one word.

The gray-robed man slowly looked away, looked at the stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and sighed: "It's really amazing!" Suddenly he said in a loud voice: "Commander Chi, you have already done what you should do, it is smoother than I thought, the credit you have made, the saint will soon know, the people who die here, the court will also be greatly compensated, now you can take them away." ”

What needs to be done has been done?

Qi Ning frowned, puzzled by what the gray-robed man said.

These Yulin soldiers just killed themselves, not only did they not hurt themselves in the slightest, but also left more than seventy corpses, this is what Chi Fengdian and Yulin soldiers should do?

The Yulin Battalion is a very special group of soldiers and horses.

Although they are paid by the Ministry of War, they are not controlled by the Ministry of War, but directly belong to the emperor, Chi Fengdian is the commander of the Yulin Battalion, and only the emperor in the world can give orders to him.

Except for the emperor, no one could give orders to Chi Fengdian in such a condescending tone, and the gray-robed man certainly couldn't be the emperor of the Chu State.

But Chi Fengdian didn't resist in the slightest, and even arched his hand to the gray-robed man from behind, and said in a deep voice: "All retreat!" One turned around, but strode away without looking back.

Many Yulin soldiers were surprised, they couldn't understand that the commander had obviously ordered the traitor to be killed, but he paid the price of nearly 100 people, and did not hurt Qi Ning in the slightest, and the commander suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops, which is really a bit unbelievable.

However, the military orders are like a mountain, whether they can figure it out or not, for the frightened Yulin soldiers, all they have to do is to obey the military orders.

Qi Ning was also surprised when he saw the Yulin soldiers retreat quickly.

This time, someone laid a trap and used the Shenhou Mansion and the Yulin Battalion to join forces to kill himself on the way back to Beijing, which is naturally an undoubted fact, but Chi Fengdian actually accepted the orders of the gray-robed man so simply, and quickly retreated with the Yulin soldiers under his hands, which is of course a very unusual thing.

At least in Chi Fengdian's eyes, this gray-robed man was qualified enough to give orders to him.

Why are the gray-robed people so powerful?

Qi Ning knew a lot about the people around the little emperor, at least in his memory, there was no such number one person as the gray robe.

In just a moment, the Yulin soldiers had already withdrawn from the camp and walked cleanly, and the camp suddenly seemed very empty.

Except for the gray-robed people, only Qu Xiaocang and others from the Shenhou Mansion stayed where they were and did not withdraw.

The other party's plan, of course, is to take his own life, and it is impossible to give up halfway with such a big move.

The gray-robed man ordered Chi Fengdian to withdraw the Yulin soldiers, of course, he would not give up this attack.

But with this gray-robed man, he asked himself if he could kill himself? The gray-robed man was able to tell the existence of the Heavenly Vein, that is to say, at least he knew some of the secrets, with Qi Ning's current cultivation, unless he was a great grandmaster, no one in the world could be his opponent.

Could the gray-robed man be the Grand Master?

The five great grandmasters, including the hidden Jizang, the six masters with the realm of great grandmasters, except for the Northern Han Dynasty's Muyun Hou Beitang Phantom Night, Qi Ning has almost seen all of them, of course this person in front of him is not any of the several great masters he has seen, otherwise Qi Ning can recognize it at a glance.

Could it be that the other party is Beitang Phantom Night?

This is certainly even more unlikely.

Beitang Phantom Night is the marquis of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Chu State are in contact with each other, how could Beitang Phantom Night be ordered by the Chu State Court to deal with him, the most important thing is that if the other party is really Beitang Phantom Night, he will not dare to do it to himself.

Qi Ning has not forgotten the existence of the covenant of Longshan, although Beitang Phantom Night is a great grandmaster, but the sword god Beigong Liancheng is also a great grandmaster, does Beitang Phantom Night dare to ignore the existence of the sword god Beigong Liancheng and attack himself so blatantly?

This time he wanted to kill himself silently on the way back to Beijing, which seemed to be secretive, but the people involved in this matter included hundreds of forest soldiers and several people from the Shenhou Mansion, it was impossible to be silent, once Qi Ning really had any accidents, it was impossible for Beigong Liancheng not to find out the truth today.

Qi Ning's eyes swept and glanced at the people of the Shenhou Mansion, but he suddenly saw that Yan Lingxian behind Qu Xiaocang was staring at the gray-robed man on horseback at this time, without squinting, Qi Ning could even clearly see that Yan Lingxian's face actually showed a look of horror.

Qi Ning followed Yan Lingxian's gaze and moved his gaze to the gray-robed man's face again, of course he couldn't see the gray-robed man's true face, but the mask glowing with dark light could be seen clearly.

Suddenly, Qi Ning's heart sank, and he remembered what Yan Lingxian had said.

On the way back to Beijing from Xichuan, Qi Ning discovered that Yan Lingxian actually made a backhand spirit knife, and the backhand spirit knife was not the martial arts of the Shenhou Mansion, but Yan Lingxian secretly taught it by others.

He remembered that Yan Lingxian had talked about the appearance of that person at that time, it seemed that he was wearing loose hair and a black mask on his face, and Qi Ning hadn't thought about it yet, but when he saw Yan Lingxian's expression, he suddenly remembered.

His face was expressionless, but his mind was racing.

"Captain Qu, now is a great opportunity for your Shenhou Mansion to make meritorious contributions." The gray-robed man was still curled up on horseback, his voice was calm, but it was in an unquestionable tone: "Xuanyuan broke the treason and was executed, the Shenhou Mansion has no leader, the emperor naturally wants to choose a new successor, you are the second senior brother of the Shenhou Mansion, no one is more suitable than you to take over the position of Ximen Shenhou, but if you want to take over the position of Shenhou, you should always make a great contribution to the imperial court." ”

Qu Xiaocang looked at Qi Ning, the corners of his eyes jumping.

"Qi Ning collaborated with the enemy and treason, if the Shenhou Mansion can take down his head, it will naturally be a great achievement, and this great opportunity is in front of you." The gray-robed man said slowly: "Take off his head, follow me back to Beijing to meet the emperor, and the emperor will definitely give you the title of the new god marquis!" ”

Qi Ning suddenly laughed, and everyone looked at him, only to hear Qi Ning say calmly: "When did the Shenhou Mansion fall to the point where you have to obey the orders of the disciples of the East China Sea?" ”

Qu Xiaocang raised his head abruptly, his brows furrowed.

"Yan Lingxian, is he the one who secretly taught you martial arts?" Qi Ning said coldly.

Yan Lingxian's body was shocked, and a look of horror crossed his eyes, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

The rules of the Shenhou Mansion are strict, and many systems are formulated in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, stealing the martial arts of other sects, which is a very taboo thing for any sect in the rivers and lakes.

Qi Ning originally wanted to use Yan Lingxian as his eyeliner in the Shenhou Mansion, but he didn't expose the matter, but now he naturally doesn't care anymore.

"I ..... I don't understand what you're saying. Yan Lingxian gritted his teeth and denied it.

Qi Ning laughed and said slowly: "Jiang Suiyun was going to compete for the position of the commander of the Black Scale Battalion, he is a child of the family, but his martial arts are not bad, and the kung fu of the backhand spirit knife is very good." It's just that later I found out that Yan Lingxian would also use the spirit knife against him, which was very strange, Jiang Suiyun and Yan Lingxian had nothing to do with each other, why did the two practice the same kung fu? Jiang Suiyun's kung fu is naturally practiced in the East China Sea, and he naturally has a master who is good at martial arts in the East China Sea, who will that master be? ”

The eyes under the gray-robed mask stared at Qi Ning and did not speak.

"Someone secretly taught Yan Lingxian martial arts, the purpose was to make Yan Lingxian his eyeliner in the Shenhou Mansion." Qi Ning said calmly: "Of course the person who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head will not be simple, and Yan Lingxian's martial arts are the same as Jiang Suiyun's, so is it possible that it is the same person who taught the two of them kung fu?" Using Jiang Suiyun to infiltrate the court, and even once wanted to use him to control the Black Scale Camp, use Yan Lingxian to keep an eye on the Shenhou Mansion, and install these two chess pieces, of course, they were all to my disadvantage. ”

The gray-robed man said lightly: "You think it's me?" ”

"I suddenly thought that the Flying Cicada Secret Ninja sent people to the East China Sea, which naturally shows that the Dongqi people have always colluded with the Jiang family in the East China Sea." Qi Ning said: "It just so happens that I know that the former master of the Flying Cicada Secret Ninja is Mo Ying, the great disciple of the East China Sea, that is to say, Mo Ying secretly has dealings with the Jiang family, can it be assumed that because of some kind of transaction, Mo Ying taught Jiang Suiyun martial arts, or rather, Jiang Suiyun worshiped under Mo Ying's door?" The State of Qi has been surviving in the cracks, but of course this situation cannot last forever, Chu and Han are fighting each other, both want to annex each other, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the State of Qi can only end up in submission, so the State of Qi naturally wants to think of some special ways to make the State of Qi survive. ”

"Oh?" The gray-robed man's voice was still as calm as water: "What kind of way can ensure that Qi Guo is worry-free?" ”
