In a manor more than ten miles outside Jinyang City, Lin Zheng was checking the situation of the manor accompanied by Ning De. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The whole villa is built on the mountain, covering a huge area, and there are more than 30 rooms for the owner alone. It's not like an ordinary farmstead, but rather a summer retreat for recreation. Each building is ingenious.

Thinking that this was his mother's residence back then, Lin Zheng felt a warmth in his heart.

What pleased him the most about the villa was the spacious square in the middle. Probably because of the general's house, there are no flowers and plants in the square, but a large number of training equipment is neatly placed. It can be seen that the people who take care of the villa are extremely attentive, and they must be cleaned often on weekdays.

At this time, more than a dozen villa families and tenants were standing in the square waiting.

"Young Master Lin, I don't know what arrangements you have for the mountain villa in the future. Ningde asked beside him.

"Who used to take care of the villa. Lin Zheng looked at the people around him.

An old man with a white beard but a strong body stood up and replied respectfully.

"Villain Tian Feng, the inside and outside of the villa have been taken care of by the old man all these years. ”

Lin Zheng first bowed deeply to the old man and said.

"Thank you for the care of the elderly for so many years, if you don't dislike it, I hope you will continue to take care of it in the future. ”

Seeing Lin Zheng's movements, Tian Feng hurriedly turned sideways to return the salute.

"It should be, it should be, it's all the duty of the villain. Besides, when the young lady was here, she was very good to us subordinates. If you don't let me do it, the old man will still be uncomfortable. ”

For Lin Zheng's order, Tian Feng happily accepted. In the past ten years, he has also developed feelings for the villa.

When Tian Feng retreated to the crowd, a teenager behind him immediately whispered something to Tian Feng excitedly. After hearing this, Tian Feng tapped the young man's head, revealing a doting smile.

Lin Zheng didn't say much when he saw the behavior of the two, but he was a little envious in his heart. After telling the people of the villa that everything was business as usual, he let them leave.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only the boy and Ningde.

"Uncle De, do you think it's okay for me to arrange it like this? ”

Hearing Lin Zheng call himself 'Uncle De', Ning Deleng paused.

"Young Master Lin's arrangement is clean and neat, of course it's good. I was afraid you didn't know how to deal with it. Ningde chuckled.

"I really don't know what to do with it, it's been so well organized. Where are you still using me to mix and make peace. Lin Zheng scratched his head embarrassedly.

"By the way, I heard Master Hou say that Young Master Cousin wants to practice martial arts, I don't know if you have any specific plans. Ningde diverted the topic.

"Uncle De, I don't know much about martial arts, do you have any suggestions. The boy smiled and said truthfully.

Ning De hesitated, he wanted to offer to teach the young martial arts in person, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered something, and finally changed his words.

"Young Master Lin, your goal now is to take the Martial Academy exam in a year. In addition to some basic knowledge of cultivation, you also need to master at least one martial art. After all, when the time comes, it is indispensable to compete with others. There are five best martial arts halls in the city, each with their own martial arts. I just don't know what Young Master Lin wants to learn. ”

"I don't have any requirements for these, as long as I have the strength to make me stronger faster. "Lin Zheng is very eager to practice martial arts.

"In this case, I recommend Yu Qianlin, the martial artist of the Breaking Wind Martial Arts Pavilion, although he is not the strongest among the five major martial arts masters, but the martial arts foundation is the most solid. He has good attainments in stick and boxing. The stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, and after learning the stick technique, it is more convenient for Young Master Lin to practice other martial arts. It's just that I didn't know that Young Master Lin was going to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, and he invited him to teach in the villa alone. ”

"If I could, I'd like to invite him to the lodge. Lin Zheng hesitated for a moment and said.

Such a choice has its own reasons. Although the events of that year have long passed, since Uncle Hong has concealed it for so many years, he must still have something to consider, and he also wants to avoid possible dangers as much as possible. Moreover, here, he also had more time to cultivate.

"That's good, but Young Master Lin may have to be prepared. Yu Jiaotou came to teach, and the fee was not cheap. Ningde reminded.

"Uncle De, I was about to talk about this, I don't have any brains in business. At this time, I don't have the heart to think about this. Mother's shop in the city, please help you contact the buyer and sell them. As for the cost of hiring a head coach, you can just deduct it from it. ”

"If it's a store in the city, the Ning family can buy it directly. In terms of price, you can rest assured. Ning De understood Lin Zheng's thoughts and made suggestions directly.

"This is the best, then the matter of the shop and hiring the head of the sect will trouble Uncle Ning. ”

"Young Master Lin is polite, this is what I should do. ”

・・・・・・・・

At the beginning of the lanterns, the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion.

When Ning De entered the study, Ning Yuanshan was still sitting behind the desk, his frowns tightened as if he was thinking about something.

"Zheng'er's affairs have been dealt with. ”

"Young Master Lin has already settled in the villa outside the city, he wants to sell the shop in the city, and then find a martial arts hall leader. In two days, it should be done. Ningde replied.

"Alright, you can do it quickly. ”

After Ning Yuanshan finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent, with a rare solemnity on his face.

Looking at Hou Ye's expression, Ning De knew that the other party must have something to say.

"We thought it was too simple. ”

Ning Deleng paused for a moment, and immediately understood what Hou Ye was referring to.

When Lin Zheng's family was destroyed, the Hou Mansion went to investigate. was secretly blocked by a mysterious force, coupled with the situation in Jinyang City at that time, so that Hou Ye had to give up the investigation on the surface. But after that force disappeared, although the Hou Mansion used a large number of manpower, there was still no progress. This has always been a knot in Hou Ye's heart.

"At first, I thought that other families were doing the trick, and even thought of the royal family. But Lin Zheng's return made me realize that this matter is by no means so simple. If it was purely for the Hou Mansion, Ning Hong would definitely not choose to hide in Thunder Hell City, whether this decision was made by his own will, or whether Rong Niang or even Xinghe asked him to do so, it was meaningless for the matter itself. Ning Yuanshan said his thoughts, paused, and continued.

"Back then, I thought about it too shallowly, but now that I think about it, I can wipe out all the guards led by Ning Hong, and even the whereabouts of Xinghe are unknown. Such a clean method is not a means that ordinary forces can have. ”

"But it's because of their special nature that we still have a chance. Ning Yuanshan tapped on the table, his face full of seriousness.

"Then, Master Hou, what are you going to do. Ning De couldn't help asking.

"After finishing Zheng'er's affairs, you will continue to investigate back then. But this time, I'm afraid the target will be on Xingwu's body, you take this. ”

As he spoke, Ning Yuanshan turned around and groped around on the bookcase a few times. A dark compartment opened on the wall of the study, and Ning Yuanshan took out a wooden box from it. Opening the wooden box, Ning Yuanshan handed Ning De a black feather. Black Feather seems to have a special power, and as long as you look at it, it is hard to forget.

"Also, you have to pay attention to whether there has ever been a star martial in the Yan Kingdom that uses the power of Xuan Bing. According to Zheng'er's description, Ning Hong was injured by the power of frost back then, and this kind of power is rare. Of course, I know that finding clues is very slim, and even if I can find them, it is extremely dangerous, but I can't give up, and this is also my responsibility as a brother. However, even if you find any clues, don't be reckless. They are more terrifying than all the enemies they have encountered before. ”

"I understand, Master Hou. Ning De nodded in agreement, hesitated, and said.

"Master Hou, after I leave. You have to be more careful, although Dong Gaoming is still acting upright. However, people have recently come to the capital, and the purpose must be impure. And several families in the city have not stopped in recent years. If you really can't do it, you should transfer some people from the army, so as not to be able to cope with it when you get it. "Regarding the situation in Jinyang City, Ning De is a little worried.

At the beginning, King Yan, who had just been extremely extreme, used the unfavorable war as an excuse to take away the position of the city lord. Then he sent several successors, wanting to eliminate the Ning family's influence in the border army in one fell swoop. It's just that they were too anxious, but they were emptied by Hou Ye one by one.

Until Dong Gaoming succeeded to the throne, he reversed the practices of the previous city lords, and first wooed the families in the city. Then let the major families install cronies in the army and cultivate power. This practice of fundamentally dividing the strength of the Hou Mansion has put the Hou Mansion in a passive position.

In the final analysis, it was because Hou Ye was injured at the beginning that his cultivation could not be improved. Although the cultivation of the late stage of the Martial Sect was still a force to be reckoned with in Jinyang City, it lacked enough power to crush it. After all, in this world, strength is still respected.

"Leave him alone. Dong Gaoming, the old fox, stayed in the City Lord's Mansion all day long, at most doing some small tricks in private. As for the other families, they are all clowns who jump off the beam and can't make a big deal. ”

Speaking of the situation in the city, Ning Yuanshan's face was full of arrogance. In the past few years, outsiders have forgotten this Ning family talent who once killed decisively on the battlefield, and only remember his worldly appearance inside and outside the family. In front of this subordinate he trusted the most, Ning Yuanshan finally revealed his true side.

"It's the Ning family's main sect, it's been a little too quiet lately. You arrange for someone to check it first, so that the Hou Mansion will not be ruined in the hands of those short-sighted people. ”

Ning Yuanshan knows too well those people in the Ning family's own sect, the ancestor of the Hou Mansion was originally a branch of the Ning family, and he was named the Marquis of Jinyang because of his military exploits. But the rise of a family was not so simple, and the circumstances at that time forced the Hou Mansion to rely on the strength of the sect. But after so many years, the Zong family has become more insatiable and greedy. They didn't understand at all that if it weren't for his support and without the Hou Mansion as a backer, the Ning family would have been divided up by the family of Jinyang City a long time ago.

"Okay. Ningde replied.

Thinking of Ning Yuanshan's arrangement for Lin Zheng today, Ning De hesitated for a moment and continued to ask.

"Since Master Hou asked Young Master Lin to prepare for the martial arts academy, why did he let him live in the villa to practice martial arts, wouldn't it be better to stay in the mansion. After all, one year is too short for someone who has not cultivated. ”

"You want to teach him martial arts yourself. Ning Yuanshan looked at Ning De with a smile.

Ning De had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Lin Zheng has just come into contact with martial arts cultivation, and he doesn't need a martial arts sect like you to teach it personally. Besides, you still have a lot of things to do, and finding a martial arts instructor will be better in terms of time. As long as you tell the other person, just be careful. When Lin Zheng completes his martial apprentice cultivation, we will choose a suitable set of martial arts for him. As for not letting him stay in the Hou Mansion, on the one hand, it is for secrecy, after all, we don't know if the events of that year have passed. On the other hand, the family is still quite troubled about losing the position of city lord. You don't have to let Zheng'er get involved in these messy things. ”

After Ning Yuanshan finished speaking, Ning De immediately understood Hou Ye's intentions.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Through your contact with Zheng'er, what do you think of this child's character? Ning Yuanshan asked.

"Young Master Lin, like Miss back then, is a kind-hearted person. Ning De told Lin Zheng about the personnel arranged by Lin Zheng in the afternoon.

After listening to this, Ning Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.

"This is indeed quite rare, and we all know about Thunder Prison City. It's not easy to come out of there and still keep your heart. It seems that Ning Hong has really worked Lin Zheng's education for so many years. Thinking of Lin Zheng's return, he finally gave an explanation to his sister. Ning Yuanshan's face was full of relief.

"It's just Thunder Hell City, it's not something that our power can reach, otherwise a small Martial Sect..." Ning Yuanshan's face suddenly became a little more fierce.
