At seven o'clock in the evening, in the barracks and school field, the dark clouds were vast, obscuring the stars and the moon, and the shadows of both of them were hidden in the night.

"My wedding date with Cheng Jing has been set, the eighteenth day of the first month."

"Congratulations." Duan Shaoling congratulated again.

The two discussed the guests to be invited to the wedding for a while, and Chen Zui suddenly said, "There is something that Cheng Jing asked me to ask you, it is about you and Bao'er." ”

Chen Zui said bluntly: "I have been a brother with you for so many years, I know that when you agreed to be with Bao'er, in the final analysis, it was out of gratitude, you are grateful for her sincere dedication to you, and you don't want to break her heart again."

At first, I thought that Bao'er was thinking about you as a girl's first spring, until she ran away for you and accompanied you to the battlefield, without regrets, I understood that her heart for you is no different from Chengjing for me, since you have made a choice, should you also consider giving her a future? ”

Duan Shaoling didn't speak, Chen Zui patted him on the shoulder, "You should think about it yourself." ”

It was cold at night, so Chen Zui walked back first.

Chen Zui's words kept echoing in his mind, and he walked out of the barracks alone, and since he came out, he walked around and thought about it.

He was moved by Zou Baoer from the bottom of his heart, is there any love in the end? He had never delved into the question. Whenever he thought of what Zou Baoer had done for himself, he kept telling himself to treat her well, which seemed to be more of a responsibility than love, and over time, he didn't think about love or not.

The future between them, if it weren't for Chen Zui asking him tonight, he would never have thought about this question, so he would be confused and overwhelmed at first glance. The future is not an easy promise, because once promised, he will be responsible to the end, and he obviously does not have this psychological preparation. However, if Chen Zui hadn't mentioned it, would he plan to keep the two of them like this? It's too unfair to think about it.

Approaching the end of the year, the night is quiet and cold, the people are sparse, he turns a few streets alone, the cold wind is biting, and it can also make his mind gradually clear, Chen Zui is right, he should think about the future of the two people. After their wedding is completed, when he finds a way to find out Li Dashuai's thoughts, he will give Zou Baoer an explanation.

After thinking about it, the wind has blown enough, and it's time to go back and rest.

Footsteps, the sound of hurried and brisk footsteps on the ground. The shadow on the ground flashed, and it rushed to the right, and when Duan Shaoling glanced back, he saw a man in black, and turned around and chased after him.

From a distance, the man in black was not tall, but he was really fast. Duan Shaoling relied on the terrain and skills, and the distance between the two became shorter and shorter. After chasing for a while, Duan Shaoling reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the man in black, but unexpectedly, the man's body sank, got rid of Duan Shaoling's grasp, and came to grab his wrist with his backhand.

Duan Shaoling's arm shrank in, which also made her pounce into the air, and then the two of them moved their hands, after more than ten rounds, the two fought equally, the man in black made accurate and steady moves, but he had no intention of fighting for his life, and he only wanted to get out of trouble, but she was always under the shroud of Duan Shaoling's hands, and if she continued to fight, she would lose sooner or later.

Duan Shaoling secretly said to himself that her skills were slightly inferior to Li Chengjing, but she was above Shen Hong and Lu Baiting, and what surprised him even more was that she could be judged to be a woman from the figure of the man in black and the aura emanating from her body.

In addition to Li Chengjing, there is actually a woman with strong martial arts in Ningzhou City, what is the purpose of her night walk in black clothes Thinking of this, Duan Shaoling's hand quickened, and he wanted to subdue her first and ask what was going on. Remembering that the other party is a woman, she has always refused to be ruthless.

After more than ten moves, the woman in black gradually gained the upper hand, and it was difficult to escape, so she could only support herself. Duan Shaoling made two quick moves, the woman in black took two steps back, and Duan Shaoling stretched out her right hand to remove her mask. Unexpectedly, the woman in black was able to win in defeat, and blocked up with her backhand and opened his right hand.

Duan Shaoling missed the blow, and when he was about to make another move, he inadvertently had an extra object in his hand, which was taken from the left side of the head of the woman in black. With the faint light, Duan Shaoling found that the object in his hand was the hairpin used by the woman, and after looking at it twice, his body suddenly stiffened and did not move.

Seeing that he was distracted, the woman in black attacked with all her strength and forced him back, and was about to escape when she heard the sound of a large group of people rushing over in front of her.

She hurriedly fled to the right, Duan Shaoling had already come to her senses and grabbed her left hand, "Come with me." "Pull her to the left.

The woman in black actually believed his words, and let Duan Shaoling take her around to the left twice, and the two hid behind the wall of a mill. Duan Shaoling hid in the dark, seeing clearly that the team of people chasing over was the personal soldiers of the Great Marshal's Mansion, and there were countless doubts to ask in his heart, but he couldn't show any sound at this moment.

Quietly listening to the sound of the large group of people coming and going, after a while, quietly, the pursuers had already gone away, and the two walked out.

"Thank you." The woman in black hurriedly thanked her and was about to leave.

"Qingning." Duan Shaoling blurted out.

The woman in black stopped as if she had been electrocuted.

Duan Shaoling raised the hairpin in his hand: "This hairpin once picked the thorn in my hand for me, so I remembered its owner." ”

The woman in black subconsciously touched the back of her head, making sure that the hairpin was really missing, and turned around to see that it was her hairpin in Duan Shaoling's hand.

Duan Shaoling looked at her anxious look, and had no doubts, "Don't you still want to admit it?" ”

The woman in black took the initiative to remove her mask, it was Xue Qingning.

Duan Shaoling guessed that it was her, and the moment she took off her mask, she saw her long-lost face, and her heart was shocked and mixed. He never expected to see Xue Qingning in this situation, judging from tonight's situation, she was no longer the gentle and loving priest he knew in his memory.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you want to visit the Marshal's Mansion at night? ”

Xue Qingning retorted: "Why did you let me go just now? ”

"Because the Xue Qingning I know is not a bad person." Duan Shaoling had no basis and just instinctively believed her, especially when she took off her mask and when she spoke......

Xue Qingning chuckled at the corner of her mouth, "Bao'er came to Ningzhou to see me in the church before she came to Ningzhou, I probably heard her about your invitation to Ningzhou by Miss Li, how is Bao'er doing recently?" Then he said: "Bao'er didn't know anything about me, I didn't tell her anything." ”

Duan Shaoling said: "Bao'er is very good, don't worry, I won't tell her about tonight." Can you tell me who you are now, and what is your purpose in coming to Ningzhou? ”

Xue Qingning said: "I was appointed by the organization to investigate Li Qiyu. ”

"Organization?" Duan Shaoling was originally wondering if she would be a warlord from another side, but it didn't look like she said this, "Are you sent by the central government?" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that." Xue Qingning said decisively, even if she was brought to the Great Marshal's Mansion, she would not say it.

Duan Shaoling no longer pressed, "Then you want to investigate what happened to Li Dashuai." ”

"Fornicating with foreign enemies, it is rumored that Li Qiyu colluded with foreign forces in order to annex Zhongnan, and attempted to attack the Yin army inside and outside. He also promised to cede the four coastal cities to the Gentiles after the deed was completed. ”

Duan Shaoling was incredulous: "What did you say? ”

"I know you must not believe that Li Dashuai, who has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, could do such a thing, and the purpose of my coming to Ningzhou is to ask for proof of this."

"Did you find the evidence?"

Xue Qingning shook his head, "I sneaked into Li Qiyu's study tonight, I wanted to find his letter of collaborating with the enemy, but I was still detected and failed. ”

Duan Shaoling didn't refute, the assassin last time, plus Xue Qingning, he felt more and more that Li Dashuai was so unfathomable, and it seemed that there were many things that he needed to verify.

"Fail tonight, you definitely don't have a second chance to sneak into Li Dashuai's study, I advise you to leave Ningzhou quickly. The Shuaifu soldiers have already left, so you can find a place to hide tonight, and you can leave the city generously early tomorrow morning. ”

Xue Qingning thanked him again.

"Be careful yourself." Duan Shaoling took a step and left.

"Wait." This time it was Xue Qingning who stopped him, and her hairpin was still in Duan Shaoling's hand, and he held it tightly. Xue Qingning pointed to his hand, "That... Please give it back to me. ”

Duan Shaoling's face was hot, and he was secretly ashamed of how he forgot to return it. As soon as Xue Qingning opened his mouth, he immediately handed it out, but at that moment, an absurd idea of not wanting to return suddenly arose, did he forget, or did he not think of returning it at all?

Xue Qingning took it and walked away, Duan Shaoling walked back to the barracks in the opposite direction, all the way back, his mind was full of the thrilling pictures just now.

When he returned to his room, he was still drunk.

"How? Been out for so long, have you figured it out? ”

Duan Shaoling knew what he was referring to, "Wait until your wedding is finished." ”

Chen Zui smiled and didn't ask any more.

Duan Shaoling lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, he still couldn't tell Chen Zui what happened just now, unless he checked everything clearly, he couldn't let Chen Zui hear the slightest rumor. What he is most afraid of is not Li Dashuai's real personality, if Li Dashuai really has an ulterior side as Director Wang's son and Xue Qingning said, it will affect the relationship between Chen Zui and Li Chengjing.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, their wedding date ...... Thinking of this, Duan Shaoling suddenly thought that as soon as the wedding was over, Chen Zui would stay in the Li family forever. Could this be the purpose of Li Dashuai's eagerness to get them married?

No, he must find out about Li Dashuai before the wedding, but the result is really as they said, this marriage is estimated to be unsuccessful. He thought of Li Chengjing again, and he was embarrassed, but after weighing, for the sake of the future of the nation, in order not to fall into a dilemma, he was sorry for Li Chengjing, and this truth must be investigated.

As for how to investigate, we will start tomorrow and then consider the long term.
