Zhang Ning is a person with great mana, and Yin Si is not like the yang world, there are many constraints. Zhang Ning walked the Styx, even if he could act safely by himself, not to mention that Li Sheng, the general of the Lou boat, personally sent a lieutenant under his command to escort Zhang Ning to Daqi.

After returning to the Great Qi Yin Division, Zhang Ning got off the warship with Niu Er, Shenyue, and Kagura. The colonel said respectfully: "The last general can only send the king of Chujiang here, and the king of Chujiang takes care." ”

"Thank you, Captain Zhang. Zhang Ning hugged his fists and thanked him. Immediately, the captain led the Styx Sailors and returned to join Li Sheng.

Zhang Ning rode on Niu Er, sat in his arms with Kagura, and used his mana to support Shenyue, and the group rushed to Cui Wangcheng.

A few days later, Zhang Ning arrived at Cui Wangcheng. The city is full of flags, and it is guarded by its own generals and ghost soldiers. Zhang Ning was a familiar face, and the captain who guarded the gate recognized Zhang Ning.

However, this time the captain did not open the door, but asked Zhang Ning to wait. Not long after, the city gate opened, and Cui Chenghua walked out of the city, and said to Zhang Ning with a smile: "Chenghuang Cui Chenghua, I have seen the king of Chujiang." ”

"Uncle, you are too much, why bother to bury your nephew. Zhang Ning said a little helplessly, and then asked, "Even Uncle Zu knows, but Yan Jun informed the various departments of the Yin Division?"

"That's nature. Yin Si has one more King of Chujiang, and Yan Jun will naturally inform the various ministries. But nephew, don't worry, Yan Jun just issued an edict saying that he had set up a king of Chujiang, whose status was second only to Yan Jun, and the king of Chujiang was named Zhang Ning. There was no other news. I guessed it was you, others couldn't guess it was you. ”

Cui Chenghua smiled and pinched his beard and said, he has been tempting Zhang Ning to enter the Yin Division, but Zhang Ning has been shirking, and now he has become the king of Chujiang directly.

Cui Chenghua is really satisfied with this matter.

The two said something, and then Cui Chenghua noticed Niu Er, Kagura, and Shenyue said: "This cow is a little strange." ”

Cui Chenghua looked at Niu Er first and saw some doorways. Then he asked Zhang Ning, "Who are these two girls?"

"This is Shenyue, it's my aunt. This is Kagura, a niece. The friends I made in Chujiangguo. Zhang Ning introduced.

"I've seen King Cui. When Shenyue's aunt and nephew heard this, they saluted Cui Chenghua.

"Haha, don't be polite, don't be polite. Cui Chenghua said with a smile. Immediately, Cui Chenghua said: "I haven't seen you for many days, I should have invited you into the city to drink." But something has happened in the mortal world, and you better go back quickly. ”

Zhang Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he was not impatient. Cui Chenghua had been greeting him for so long just now, if there was really anything urgent, it wouldn't be like this.

"You're really calm. Cui Chenghua looked at Zhang Ning and said with a smile. Then he said in a deep voice: "Li Qianning was killed." ”

"Who did it?" Zhang Ning frowned, his good friend's grandfather was actually killed, although Zhang Ning was not too close to Li Qianning.

But that's Li Yuanba's grandfather after all, isn't it?

"I don't know. Cui Chenghua shook his head.

"The soul didn't enter the Yin Division?" Zhang Ning said unexpectedly. Regardless of whether it is good or evil in life, the soul will enter the yin. A strongman like Li Qianning may also be recruited as a ghost soldier, and the captain is first-class.

If Li Qianning's soul entered the Yin Division, then he should know who killed him.

"It's not easy for people to do it, and their souls are scattered. Cui Chenghua said. This is normal and not normal. In the small world, there are few people who understand.

Let a person's soul fly away. But in the vast world, there are means to make people's souls fly. In other words, it is a matter of course to destroy the soul when killing people, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

"Since this is the case, the nephew will not bother the uncle too much, and go back to the yang world first. Zhang Ning didn't think much about it, so he took his leave.

Cui Chenghua nodded, then remembered something and said, "By the way, Li Jiaming is currently succeeded to the throne as Ning Guogong." On the same day, he sent people to capture the Liu family alive. ”

Zhang Ning's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, his face was rare and a little hideous, "What are you talking about!!!"

"The virtuous nephew doesn't have to worry, the Liu family was rescued by Bu Haiyuan and the prodigal son of Tianya, and is currently placed in the Wuyang Hou Mansion. The two of them were quite righteous, and in order to prevent accidents, they also stayed in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. ”

Cui Chenghua smiled and explained.

Zhang Ning's face softened slightly, but he still snorted coldly.

"Hmph. ”

Uncle took his leave. Zhang Ning rushed to Cui Chenghua and hugged his fist, then sat on Niu Er, took Shenyue, and Kagura and the two left Yin Si and came to a secluded place in the yang world, and after a short pause, they went to the Wuyang Hou Mansion.

..................

Wuyang Hou Mansion.

The titles of Lord Daqi Gong are divided into duke, marquis, and bo, all of which are superb, hereditary and replaceable. And the Wuyang Hou family is second only to Guogong and surpasses most of the Hou family.

The scale of the Marquis Mansion of Wuyang is only slightly smaller than that of the Duke of Ningguo.

However, such a powerful Wuyang Hou, in the past two years or so, has been low-key, cautious, and can even be said to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

After Li Qianning was killed, Wuyang Hou Jin Taisu personally went to the Ningguo Mansion and picked up his daughter's grandson and granddaughter. After that, he took in the Liu family, as well as the prodigal son of the end of the world, Bu Haiyuan.

After that, these people from the Hou family of Wuyang began to shrink into the mansion and stay at home. The reason is that a master like Li Qianning was killed.

Not to mention Wuyanghou.

On the contrary, the Wuyang Hou Mansion is located in the capital of Qi, and there are many masters stationed in the Hou Mansion, and the neighbors are all meritorious families.

In such a place, it is extremely difficult to kill Wuyang Hou Jin Taisu.

In fact, Li Qianning, the Duke of Ningguo, also knew this, so he basically stayed at home, but he was deceived by his own son and was killed.

And it's still a soul scattered, and death is complete.

All in all, Wuyang Hou Jin Taisu has become a shrunken turtle, and he has also taken care of it, and nothing has happened to his family in the past two years.

Although the Hou family of Wuyang saved their lives, it was nothing more. If you want to have any ambitions, any actions, it's completely impossible.

Inside the Hou Mansion.

The prodigal son of Tianya and Bu Haiyuan escorted the people of the Liu family to the Hou Mansion to live temporarily, these two people are the masters of the second list of heaven and earth, and currently Bu Haiyuan ranks eighteenth on the heavenly list, replacing the invincible iron palm, ranking at the bottom of the list.

Wuyang Hou Jin Taisu was in an embarrassing situation, and he was frightened, and he was naturally overjoyed that these two people could come to live in the mansion and treat the guests.

not only arranged an independent courtyard to live, but also sent a lot of beautiful maids and slaves to serve, not to mention the delicious wine and food. However, the prodigal son of the end of the world is different from Bu Haiyuan.

Bu Haiyuan never leaves the Hou Mansion, and the prodigal son of Tianya has to go out once in a while, after all, he is a person from the pinnacle city, and sometimes he can't help himself.

And is it the prodigal son, isn't it?

It was a sunny morning.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, the prodigal son of the end of the world drank with Bu Haiyuan, and there were a lot of wine and food on the table. Bu Haiyuan placed the sword diagonally on the railing next to him.

"It's really day after day, when will Brother Yunjian come back. After drinking a glass of wine, the prodigal son stood up and opened the folding fan and shook it on his chest, very bored.

Bu Haiyuan didn't care, in the eyes of outsiders, the prodigal son of the end of the world is a wanderer, a frequent visitor in the Rouge Building, and a lonely person.

However, there was one thing that Bu Haiyuan was very concerned about, and he said, "Do you really believe that Nameless will come back?"

"Don't you believe it?" said the prodigal son in amazement.

But I did not believe. Bu Haiyuan nodded. He is different from the prodigal son at the end of the world, he has only seen Zhang Ning's side of the world, but he has not seen Zhang Ning's side.

In his opinion, since he was swallowed up by the cracks in the world, Zhang Ning was finished. And the reason why he stayed here was because he respected Zhang Ning and first kept the Liu family safe.

He won't be able to keep it for long, and in three or five years, he will be gone. After all, he also has his life.

"You're a righteous person. The prodigal son had to sigh with emotion, and then smiled flirtatiously: "Of course I believe that he will come back, and I think he came back late." It stands to reason that he shouldn't have been there that long. ”

Zhang Ning, this guy.

Hey.

The prodigal son of Tianya remembered the scene when Zhang Ning devoured Fan Yang, and his scalp is still numb. That's a guy who looks at them and they're going to die.

At that time, if it weren't for the protection of King Jing's Golden Book, they would really be dead.

Such a person, but the prodigal son of the end of the world does not believe that he will die. Not only did he not believe it, but he also felt that Zhang Ning came back late, maybe he was delayed by something.

The prodigal son sometimes thinks so.

"After that, what are your plans after this is over?" asked the prodigal son.

"I'm leaving this world and going out into the wider world. Bu Haiyuan said.

"Tianji Gate?" said the prodigal son of Tianya, shrugging his shoulders.

"Do you also know about the Heavenly Machine Gate?" asked Bu Haiyuan.

"Ah, there are many people who don't know, and there are many people who know. The prodigal son smiled and said.

Bu Haiyuan is a stuffy gourd, but the prodigal son of Tianya is a talkative, even talkative person, with him, the atmosphere will not be too cold.

The two chatted like this and passed the time for more than two years. If the prodigal son of the end of the world goes out, then Bu Haiyuan is just a pillar standing with a sword.

.................

In a secret room in the Hou Mansion, isolated from the inside and outside, it was unusually dim.

There was a table with an oil lamp on it.

Wuyang Hou Jin Taisu, the prince Jin Shen, and Mrs. Jin sat down, and the light and shadow of the oil lamp illuminated them.

"Father, has there been any progress in investigating the death of Grandpa Guo?" Mrs. Jin was a little thinner than two years ago, but her spirit was not bad, but she was in good spirits.

This lady is not a weak woman, and the blow of two years ago will not make her collapse. On the contrary, she and her father Kim Tae-su have been investigating the cause of Li Qianning's death.

"There were no clues and the people who did it were very clean. Kim Tae-so shook his head and said. Although he was trapped in the Hou Mansion these days, he still managed to send people out, and he also dispatched many Heavenly Realm masters.

But the stone sank into the sea.

Not to mention the news, even the people sent out are safe and sound. It's very frustrating, and if the person sent out dies, at least they know the direction of the investigation.

Now not only is there no clue, but the people sent out are safe and sound, so there is really no way at all.

"I think it's mostly my second uncle's doing. Madame Kim was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Hmm. Kim Tae-so nodded.

Two years ago, people like Li Qianning, the Duke of Ningguo, were suddenly killed, and their heads were hung on the Suzaku Gate. The court was shocked, and the people from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the patrol room poured out, but there were no clues.

At that time, under such circumstances, no one had time to suspect Li Jiaming. But now that I think about it, Li Jiaming is indeed suspicious.

Li Qianning was suddenly killed, and the Queen Mother issued a clear edict to let Li Jiaming inherit the title of Duke of Ningguo, which is an interest. According to the traditional point of view, whoever gains the most is who kills Li Qianning.

Of course, this is only the direction of speculation, not evidence.

But there's a catch.

Of course, why did he kill Li Qianning in secret, and hung Li Qianning's head on the Suzaku Gate, was it a personal vendetta? Or for what purpose?

In the past two years, the murderer has not shown any traces, and naturally he has not said anything to the outside world. But logically, there should always be a reason.

But there is no reason.

It seems that he is going to Li Qianning, just to kill Li Qianning. This point and the previous point are added up, and Li Jiaming is a big suspect.

In the past two years, the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion has also focused on investigating Li Jiaming, but unfortunately, Li Jiaming has almost stayed at home in the past two years, and there are really no clues.

During this period of time, Li Jiaming relied on some means to ascend to the heavenly realm, and mastered the various forces of the profound Ningguo Mansion, and became a veritable Ningguo Gong, together with his father-in-law Ming Guogong Zhu Youtang, he connected with the nobles, successfully inherited the political power left by Li Qianning, and became a force in the imperial court, second only to Zhang Baigong's forces.

In such a situation, if you don't suspect Li Jiaming, who do you suspect.

But it's a pity, even if the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion is suspicious, it can only be secretly investigated, and even if it is really investigated, it can only be reported, and nothing can be done at all.

Ay.

......................

In an independent courtyard of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, this is the place where the Wuyang Hou family placed the Liu family. Wuyanghou's family has a good family style, and the people who treat the Liu family are very good.

not only sent slaves and maids to serve this family, but also let Hutou and the children of the Jin family study and practice martial arts. Under such circumstances, the people of the Liu family were frightened at first, but they gradually settled down.

However, the people of the Liu family are not people who enjoy wealth and nobility, first of all, Liu Mu and Liu Qiuqiu can't sit still, so they like to sit in front of the loom and weave cloth and make some female red.

Liu's father had nothing to do, so he personally taught Hutou to read after school.

Time is a healing medicine, and the family gradually came out of the horror and the grief of losing Zhang Ning, except for Liu Xiuxiu.

At this moment, Liu Xiuxiu was not in the courtyard placed by Wuyang Hou, but in the boudoir of the little sister of the Li family.

is also a girl who has lost Brother Zhang, and the two often rely on each other for warmth.

However, because of their respective personalities, these two people behaved differently in the face of the fact that Zhang Ning was missing. Liu Xiuxiu is a weak girl, she has been following Zhang Ning's ass since she was a child, and she is a brother Zhang.

She is always weak and well-behaved, whether she is by Zhang Ning's side or not. For such Liu Xiuxiu, losing Zhang Ning is like the sky falling.

So two years ago, Liu Xiuxiu was crying, crying day and night. Now Liu Xiuxiu is still crying, waking up late at night, tears wetting the pillow and futon.

Call, Brother Zhang.

I didn't cry during the day, but I was afraid that my family would worry, so I pretended to be strong. But her puffy eyes betrayed what she cried at night.
