Above the river, the boats come and go like shuttles, among them there is a building boat is going downstream, the sails are open, the wind is smooth, a large building ship is galloping like a galloping horse, quite a day and a thousand miles, the bow of the ship is hanging the flag of the king of Youji Yan, but in the stern of the wind fluttering is a flame flag, on the black flag, a flame is burning in full swing, as if to turn the whole world into ashes. When the ships saw this flag, they all avoided it. People with a little common sense know that this flame flag is the flag of the fire phoenix county lord in the army in the past, and now the only person who can use this flag is naturally only Luo Chengyu, the son of King Yan, and Luo Chengyu is the head of the three major princes in the world, and no one dares to invade the world under the subordinates of Xindu, over the years, the daring people who dare to offend the flame flag have been killed clean by the Xindu Fengtai Pavilion, not to mention that the people of the world have sincerely admired the fire phoenix county lord who guarded the seclusion in the past and refused Hu Rong at the border pass。

In fact, the original draft flag pattern was originally a phoenix on fire, also known as the flying phoenix flag, whenever the lord of the fire phoenix county led his own soldiers to kill the enemy formation, the flying phoenix flag fluttering on the battlefield is the soul of the three armies. But later, the lord of Huofeng County thought that it took too much manpower and material resources to embroider a flying phoenix flag, so he simply made the painting dyed with flames, except for the main flag of the Chinese army, which was dissuaded by the generals and did not remove it, and the army only saw the flame flag, and the flying phoenix flag was rare. However, later, the lord of Huofeng County also made some flying phoenix flags and rewarded them to brave generals or sergeants, and the army was proud to be able to use the flying phoenix flag.

After Luo Chengyu took charge of the military and political power of the Xindu County Lord's Mansion, he promised to his generals that he could not encroach on the county lord's honor guard, so in addition to the county lord's mansion, only the flame flag was used.

This blatant ship sailing on the river has a total of three cabins, and the top floor has only two of the most spacious and luxurious cabins, unless the direct relatives of King Yan take this boat, it can be used, and the rest of the time is basically idle, even this time is no exception, although Ximen Rin is a heavy minister, but only in the cabin on the second floor of the largest one to live, but Ximen Rin in the name of detention Yang Ning also arranged in this room.

Although the exterior of this building ship is gorgeous, but the interior decoration is a quiet style, rough and bold, sturdy and durable, the same is true of the cabin chosen by Ximen Rin, the wide room facing the door is a large wooden couch, there is a mahogany clothes box at the head of the bed, close the lid of the box can be used as a few cases, there is a boxwood square table near the window, two chairs, in addition, opposite the table, and a soft couch is stuffed, but it was ordered by Ximen Rin to move in temporarily. All the way to the water, Ximen Rin slept on the soft couch to monitor Yang Ning's movements. It's just that although he said this, in the eyes of everyone, he felt that Ximen Rin looked like an elder who was very worried about his son and nephew, except for asking for warmth, but he couldn't see the appearance of the prisoner.

At this time, Ximen Rin was picking up scrolls at the window, sitting idly and sipping tea, looking leisurely, but Yang Ning was sitting on the other side, at this moment his identity was an assassin who was escorted, so he was only wearing cyan casual clothes, and a set of delicate golden shackles were locked on his hands and feet, and a thin gold chain connected the shackles between his hands and feet, but when Yang Ning moved his hands and feet by chance, there was no sound, which showed that it was extremely exquisitely built. This golden shackle looks thin and easy to break, but in fact it is a shackle carefully crafted by a famous craftsman, once it is bound, even if it is a top master, it is impossible to break it in a moment and a half, and with a master like Ximen Rin imprisoned, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Ning, who is bound by the shackles to move, escape.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone, Yang Ning doesn't seem to have the intention of escaping, even at this moment, he is just sitting on the couch, looking at a book in his hand with fascination, he looks very seriously, and it will only turn a page in half a day, sometimes he looks at his eyebrows, sometimes he frowns, and sometimes he is even more stunned, Yang Ning at this time looks like an ordinary teenager, without the arrogant appearance of the past.

Ximen Rin looked funny and said with a smile: "Zijing, you don't have to be so serious, although this Book of Mountains and Seas is a strange book in the world, but most of the content is absurd and mysterious, and there are not many credentials, but it is just fun to watch, your writing skills are too shallow, if you don't understand it, read it slowly, or let this seat explain it to you, don't meditate there alone, for an idle book, make all the effort, it's not worth it." ”

Yang Ning's face was red, although he knew a lot of words, and even the calligraphy was quite the essence of the Fire Phoenix County Lord and the Hidden Emperor, but these words were connected together, if it was a martial arts method, if it was an article and history, he would probably be confused and didn't understand the meaning, which was originally because he knew too little, so although this "Classic of Mountains and Seas" He was fascinated by it, but he seemed to understand it and swallowed it, but he had an excellent memory, and he memorized it alive, thinking about it slowly in the future, but he didn't think about asking Ximen Rin, after all, he had never had the experience of asking people for advice. But although Ximen Rin's expression was still cold and serious, there was a relaxed smile in his eyes, and his gaze towards himself became more and more gentle, Yang Ning's heart warmed, walked to Ximen Rin's side, pointed to the words on the book and asked: "Father Kua and the sun chase away, enter the sun." If you are thirsty and want to drink, you will drink in Hewei, and if you are not enough in Hewei, you will drink Daze in the north. Before he arrived, he died of thirst. Abandon his staff and turn into Dunlin. [1] What does this mean, that there are still people chasing the sun?"

Ximen Rin said with a smile: "This is the story of the ancient gods Kuafu, Kuafu is a descendant of the water god Gonggong, Gonggong once fought for the world with the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and after defeat, he was angry and knocked down Buzhou Mountain, causing the world to flood and ruin. Since Kuafu is a descendant of Gonggong, he naturally has the same pride, I don't know why the sun is not pleasing to the eye, and he must catch up, but he caught up with the scorching sun in the place of Yugu, which is the place where the sun is gone, also known as Yu Yuan. It's a pity that he was too tired and too close to the sun, so his mouth was dry, and he wanted to drink water, so he drank the river water and Weishui, but he still couldn't quench his thirst, so he went to the north to look for Daze, but he died of thirst when he didn't find it. Speaking of this, Ximen Rin's gaze was a little deeper, and he said solemnly: "Although he praised his father's ambition unpaid, he left a cane and turned it into a peach forest to encourage future generations, even if he dies, he will not die in vain." Some people are like this, even if she unfortunately passes, but her legacy can still inspire future generations. ”

Yang Ning's eyes flashed, although he didn't have any scheming, but he also heard what Ximen Rin said, but he didn't understand the true meaning, just with his temperament, he wouldn't ask anything.

Ximen Rin didn't seem to notice the confusion in Yang Ning's heart, but stood up, walked around the square table, leaned over the window frame, looked at the surging river, and chanted loudly: "Praise the father's birthday ambition, it is to compete with the sun." When they are all under the abyss, it seems that there is no victory. The divine power is wonderful, and the river is enough! The remaining traces are sent to Deng Lin, and the merit is behind him. (Note 2) "Looking back slightly, seeing that Yang Ning was still confused, Ximen Rin explained to him word by word, Yang Ning seemed to understand it, but his eyes gradually blurred, he tried to keep his eyes open, unwilling to let tears overflow. Seventeen years of time, all he can appreciate is the frost, that is, the residual warmth of the winter sun can make him happy, not to mention Ximen Rin's earnest teaching, unconsciously, the last guard in Yang Ning's heart gradually relaxed, and the gaze that looked at Ximen Rin was also a little more trusting.

Although there is some deep meaning in Ximen Rin's words, it is not aimed at Yang Ning, after a few days of companionship, he already knows that Yang Ning will not understand the meaning of his words, not because Yang Ning is stupid, but because he does not have a wide vision and does not know much. After a few days of getting along, he already knew Yang Ning's temperament, and he added a little love to his heart, such an unruly and innocent temperament is naturally an excellent disciple for the Martial Arts Sect, but if he wants to compete with Luo Chengyu for power, it is far from it. But despite this, the worries in Ximen Rin's heart are getting deeper and deeper, if Yang Ning really just wants to seize power, then there are certain rules for what he does, whether it is above board, or conspiracy, as long as Yang Ning does it, he has a way to deal with it, but Yang Ning has no intention of seizing power, plus it is similar to his mother, if he encounters difficulties, he would rather burn jade than steal his heart and arrogance, as well as the qualifications and innate blood advantages of the golden and jade, Yang Ning is like a flood beast in the eyes of Ximen Rin.

His mind became more and more resolute, and Ximen Rin had already made up his mind to kill Yang Ning, but although this decision was made because Ximen Rin's loyalty had been inclined to Luo Chengyu, it did not mean that he had forgotten the majesty and kindness of the Fire Phoenix County Lord. The arrogant and inviolable woman was willing to suffer the humiliation of her relatives, because the enemy in the mind of the Lord of Huofeng County was not Yang Wei, or even Yue Qiuxin, the enemy in her heart was the whole world, and only by overthrowing the Yang Dynasty and sweeping the whole world could the anger in her heart be reduced. Of course, among them, the Lord of Huofeng County also sincerely hopes that Youji can enter Luoyang, but Ximen Rin knows in his heart that if the situation does not allow, then the Lord of Huofeng County would rather be crushed and dragged the world to be buried with him, and will not give up his plan of revenge.

Although he admires and respects such a county lord, it does not mean that Ximen Rin can accept another person with such a mind, especially a young master with a heart like a blank sheet of paper, but with a vicious heart and means, he believes that if the county lord is really dead, then she has a spirit in the sky, and she will also hope that her will will be inherited, rather than destroyed by her own flesh and blood.

Whether it is public or selfish, Ximen Rin has already decided to kill Yang Ning on the way in the orange grove. It's just that Yang Ning's identity is special, although Ximen Rin has decided to hide this secret, but there is no guarantee that it will not be known, so even if he wants to kill Yang Ning, he must kill it openly, kill silently, and no one will find out what is wrong, it is for this purpose that he will temporarily abandon the killing intent and concentrate on getting close to Yang Ning, in order to get the opportunity to kill Yang Ning, he has set many traps.

Ximen Rin glanced at it again, and once again devoted his energy to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" Yang Ning above, looking at his innocent smile, his heart suddenly cramped, but even so, he still smiled so gently, trying his best to win Yang Ning's favor, this is not a hypocrisy at all, although it is only a short time, but in his mind, Yang Ning has long been regarded as a real nephew, but no matter how much he loves this young man, he has already made up his mind to kill Yang Ning before crossing the Yellow River, and his firmness of will is not inferior to that of the father who chases the sun.

Although the murderous intent in Ximen Rin's heart never dissipated, with his sincere concern that he did not deliberately pretend, coupled with Yang Ning's sudden loss of care from his relatives, the young man who originally had the instinct of a beast did not know that he was walking towards the abyss step by step.

Unconsciously, Yang Ning, who was concentrating on reading, and Ximen Rin, who was in turmoil in his heart, did not say anything more, both of them were immersed in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the cabin, time passed slowly, and only the rustle of Yang Ning's gently turning the pages was heard in the cabin. I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a cheer from outside the cabin, and even in the sound of surging water, I could hear it clearly.

Ximen Rin's expression moved, and when he looked down, he saw Ling Chong standing at the bow of the boat, surrounded by two young men from the Yanwutang, these two teenagers were originally sent by Ximen Rin to take care of Ling Chong's entourage, one of them was lying on the bow of the boat and looking out, laughing in surprise from time to time, and the other was carrying a fat carp and praising it, reluctantly putting it into the fish basket behind him. And Ling Chong held the long fishing rod with one hand, and the transparent and flexible silk line hung straight down, although the boat was galloping downstream, and the wind on the river was quite strong, but the fishing line did not flutter at all, it can be seen that Ling Chong must have used internal force to control the fishing line, so as not to let those fish and shrimp be frightened and escape.

Seeing this, Ximen Rin smiled slightly, but also admired Ling Chong's kung fu, when he was watching interestingly, Yang Ning had already stood beside him, and also looked down curiously, just at this time Ling Chong shook his arm, put away the fishing line, and on the hook was a big carp with red scales and golden tail, from a distance, the carp that was struggling was very lively, and the tail of the fish was shining golden in the sun. Yang Ning couldn't help but exclaim, although his voice was slight, but Ling Chong raised his head slightly intentionally or unintentionally, seeing the scene of Ximen Rin and Yang Ning standing side by side in the porthole, Ling Chong smiled faintly, then lowered his head, and instructed the young man's entourage how to unhook the fish without harming the carp as much as possible, while the other young man took out a new bait and took the hook handed by his companion and put it on. However, Ling Chong picked up the pale yellow wine gourd that was put aside, and drank it happily with his back to the sky, but after drinking it, he couldn't help but mutter, and there was a look of regret in his eyes. Yang Ning listened intently, but the wind was extremely strong, and he only heard a few words intermittently, as if Ling Chong was complaining about something about "losing the gourd", while the two teenagers laughed loudly.

Listening to the laughter and joy below, Yang Ning looked at the three people in a daze, a pair of clear and clear deep black eyes revealed a look of envy, Ximen Rin's heart moved, and said with a smile: "Although the carp in this river is good, it is a pity that it is far worse than the carp of the Yellow River, but it is not bad to try it, Zijing wants to try his skills, if he can catch a few more, he will have a good meal tonight." ”

Yang Ning heard this, but said abruptly: "I don't know how to fish." ”

Ximen Rin smiled: "It doesn't matter, let's make a bet, at the bow of the boat, neither of you and I are allowed to use bait, but what method is used, even wait for the carp to be automatically hooked, if anyone can catch a goldtail carp completely undamaged, it will win." If I win, I'll punish you for a day, and if you win, I'll take off the shackles from you, I don't know what you think of this condition?"

Yang Ning thought about it seriously, although if he lost, he would inevitably lose some face, but since this person was his uncle, he would not be too embarrassed if he was a little boy for a day, but if he could take the opportunity to solve it, it would be a rare good thing. He had already tried secretly, even if he used enough strength, there was no way to tear off the thin gold chains and the shackles on his hands and feet, although he had no intention of escaping, but he absolutely did not like freedom to be restricted. And listening to Ximen Rin's meaning, it is not really a comparison of fishing, but a test of internal skills, in this regard, Yang Ning has always been confident that he is not weaker than others.

Seeing that Yang Ning was eager to try, Ximen Rin couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, turned around and walked out of the room, Yang Ning hesitated, and finally couldn't help the itch in his heart, and followed Ximen Rin out. At first, his steps were very reserved, but by the time he was about to step out of the hatch, he had become very brisk. Ximen Rin could hear it clearly, and a smile was already on his lips.

He didn't do this to test Yang Ning's martial arts, firstly, he saw that Yang Ning had almost never had experience in frolicking and playing, so he intended to take him to relax, and on the other hand, he deliberately wanted to remove the shackles on Yang Ning's body. In Ximen Rin's view, these tangible shackles have no practical effect except for showing the killing and guarding, even if they are strong shackles, it is impossible to bind people's hearts, but if the shackles are not used at the beginning, Yang Ning will not take this matter to heart, if he first shows his official appearance, and then uses some means to remove the shackles on Yang Ning's body, it will be easier to win Yang Ning's gratitude and trust.

The two walked to the bow of the boat, Ling Chong saw that Ximen Rin's face changed, and he reluctantly gave a salute and left, the two who followed Ling Chong and were responsible for taking care of his injuries, but at the same time, the young man who was also responsible for monitoring was not interested, seeing Ling Chong leaving, the two looked at each other, both of them were full of frustration, but they were swept away by Ximen Rin's cold gaze, they were scared into a cold sweat, and hurriedly took the fishing basket and fishing rod and hurriedly retreated. The young man with the fishing rod was just about to leave, but there was a cold voice from Ximen Rin behind him: "Zhiheng, wait a minute." ”

The young man named Zhiheng's body staggered, and he hurriedly stood up straight, his shoulders and back had become tense, and he turned around almost stiffly, perhaps because of some nervousness in his heart, his voice became very urgent, and he said tremblingly: "Please command, Lord Commander." ”

Ximen Rin frowned, this young man is called Lin Zhiheng, and he is also the queen of Youji Jiangmen, whether it is martial arts or intelligence, he is the best choice, but I don't know what's going on, he usually sways freely in front of his companions, and he becomes like this as soon as he arrives in front of him, bringing him this time is also the intention of honing him, but this young man has never made any progress, at this moment Ximen Rin feels that he should be jealous of Ling Chong, at least this young man is lively and cheerful in front of Ling Chong. With a soft sigh in his heart, Ximen Rin ordered: "Leave the fishing rod behind, and you go and get another one." ”

Lin Zhiheng only felt that the muscles on his face had become stiff, and at this moment he hated why he had to hold a fishing rod instead of a fishing basket, but he didn't dare to disobey Ximen Rin's order, so he had to agree in a panic, and then ran down in a hurry, completely forgetting that he could put down the fishing rod in his hand first. Ximen Rin shook his head slightly, and said in his heart, if he continues like this, no matter what Lin Zhiheng's qualifications are, he will have to give up on him.

After a while, Lin Zhiheng took two fishing rods and ran over, holding them with both hands and handing them to Ximen Rin, Ximen Rin took a rod, handed it to Yang Ning, took another one himself, and said with a smile: "The sun is about to go west, let's not waste time, just take the time of one incense, each of them has to catch a goldentail carp, and the scales are not allowed to be damaged, Zhiheng, you calculate the time." ”

Lin Zhiheng had already thought that he could step down, but when he heard Ximen Rin's order, his face instantly turned pale, but he replied loudly: "My subordinates obey the order." "Calculating time with pulse and breathing is a skill that martial arts practitioners must know, and he is naturally no exception, and he doesn't need to take an hourglass or a corona, so he silently calculates the time.

Ximen Rin flicked the fishing rod lightly, the long fishing line fell into the water, because the hook had been removed, so the almost transparent fishing line floated in the water, it seemed that Ximen Rin also had no intention of fixing the fishing line with internal force, Yang Ning shook it gently, but the fishing line was not thrown out, but was blown back by the wind, if it wasn't for Yang Ning catching the fishing line in time, he was almost entangled by the slender and tough fishing line behind him, Yang Ning frowned, and then there was a snickering behind him, Yang Ning looked back, but saw Lin Zhiheng's solemn face, without the slightest flaw of snickering.

Yang Ning turned his head sullenly, the cold light flashed in his eyes, his right hand lightly swiped away, he had already cut off the fishing line, wrapped the fishing line in his hand, and waved his hand, the fishing line seemed to have life, meandering forward like a spiritual snake, but it had been submerged in the river for a moment, Lin Zhiheng was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but shout in admiration, Yang Ning's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes showed joy and pride.

The river is rolling, the boat is galloping, and the carp is seen jumping out of the water from time to time between the waves, reflecting the sunshine that gradually slants westward, and it looks more and more fat, but it is quite laborious to find the carp with red scales and golden tails, even if it is eight out of ten, it is difficult to see a golden-tailed carp, and the fishing lines of both people are floating in the water, waiting for the opportunity for the golden-tailed carp to enter the fishing line. Ximen Rin's fishing line is almost powerless, floating in the water, if it weren't for Ximen Rin's fishing rod tied, I'm afraid it would look like a foreign object floating and sinking in the water. However, Yang Ning's fishing line hung almost straight into the water, and even though the current was moving, it did not change in the slightest.

Although when Fang Chong was fishing, the fishing line was almost not skewed, but in Ximen Rin's eyes, he knew the obvious difference between the two. Ling Chong was just using his internal force to resist the influence of external forces on the fishing line, and he only needed to cross a True Qi by chance, which was a breeze and effortless thing for a person of their level. However, Yang Ning has always concentrated his true qi in the fishing line, and the fishing line has become a part of the body, such as the arm making the fingers, which not only requires the internal force to be constant, the true qi must be mellow and peaceful, and the control technique needs to be wonderful to the peak. This requirement is not easy to achieve, Ximen Rin is also a member of the Martial Arts Sect, naturally knows that this kung fu is biased towards masculinity, unless the true qi reaches the realm of perfection, it is impossible to achieve such a degree, of course, even so, if it is not for the tenacity and slenderness of the fishing line, it may not have such an effect, but in any case, the leopard in the tube, with this, you can already know that Yang Ning's true qi is no longer below him, and the difference is nothing more than the depth of internal force.

Although Ximen Rin was not calm in his heart, he couldn't see it on the surface, but he secretly strengthened the internal force in his hands, and unconsciously, the fishing line he controlled had been wound in a circle in the water, but these traps were not regular, but they seemed to be entangled together.

Time passed slowly, and just as it was about to be time for incense, the water swelled, and a school of carp swam past the boat, among which were four or five golden-tailed carp, and when they leaped out of the water, the golden light shimmered. Yang Ning and Ximen Rin both had a light in their eyes, and neither of them had the intention of losing at this moment, even Ximen Rin, who had already had the intention of letting go of the water, had already forgotten his original decision, and there was no disciple of the Martial Arts Sect who did not like to be competitive.

Almost at the same moment, Yang Ning and Ximen Rin started at the same time, but the methods of the two were completely different, the fishing line in Yang Ning's hand was like a dormant spirit snake in an instant, piercing the gills of a fat carp, a wisp of blood oozed out, and instantly dissipated in the water, the fishing line did not stop after passing through the fish gills, almost immediately turned around, and wrapped around the fishing line behind, it actually formed a dead knot, Yang Ning only needed to mention it lightly, and the golden-tailed carp had been involuntarily dragged out of the water and fell into Yang Ning's hands. Before Yang Ning started, a golden-tailed carp had already swam into the floating range of the fishing line, but those fishing lines that had neither strength nor blades did not make it feel dangerous at all, or swam forward with a head and tail, and the fluttering fishing line followed the water potential and wrapped around the carp, until enough silk threads were entangled, Ximen Rin smiled slightly, and a wisp of true qi passed along the fishing line, and the originally non-threatening fishing line seemed to suddenly become a tight net, tightly winding the carp, although the carp fluttered hard and splashed, but it was still lifted to the surface by Ximen Rin, and at the same time, a wisp of true qi was transmitted, which stunned the struggling carp, although it was slightly worn out of some scales, but it could barely be regarded as intact.

Ximen Rin and Yang Ning succeeded almost at the same time, Yang Ning looked at his blind carp, and then looked at the carp in Ximen Rin's hand that was almost undamaged, Yang Ning's dark eyes instantly became dim, but Ximen Rin was also a little embarrassed, after all, he was originally going to let Yang Ning, but he didn't expect it to be impulsive, isn't this self-defeating?

Yang Ning sighed, and was about to admit defeat, Ximen Rin's heart moved, turned his head to look at Lin Zhiheng, who was standing stiffly behind, and said with a smile: "Zhiheng, it's not more than time, right?"

Although Lin Zhiheng was in a daze, he forgot to announce that the time had come, but he naturally knew that it was not time for the two of them to "catch" the fish, and he was about to answer, but he saw a trace of fierceness flashing in Ximen Rin's eyes, Lin Zhiheng was so frightened that his heart was pounding, although he was very afraid of Ximen Rin, but he was a smart person, and naturally knew that Ximen Rin was not allowed to tell the truth, although he didn't understand Ximen Rin's intentions, he could only sneer: " Lord Qiqi, it has been more than a stick of incense, and neither you nor Zijing Gongzi have won. ”

Ximen Rin nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that this kid is really interesting, for this reason, he has to think about it more, whether he wants to expel him from the martial arts hall, turned his head and looked at Yang Ning with a smile and said with a smile: "We all lost, even if it was a tie." ”

Yang Ning's face was as cold as water, but his eyes were unpredictable, how could a master of his level have an illusion of time, although he was concentrating on fishing, he did not ignore the passage of time at all, so he knew very well that Lin Zhiheng had lied. Although he is simple, he is just a little knowledgeable, but he is not stupid, and he naturally understands that Ximen Rin intends to give in. But how could he accept such a draw, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, looking at Lin Zhiheng coldly, he asked lightly: "Is it really time has passed?"

Yang Ning's voice was cold and indifferent, but Lin Zhiheng felt as if a sharp arrow pierced his lungs, but those cold eyes seemed to be burning with blazing flames, like the majesty of the mountain, Lin Zhiheng only felt that cold sweat was dripping, he subconsciously stood up straight, somehow, as if his will was no longer under his control, blurted out: "No." As soon as the words came out, his face turned pale as paper, and he glanced at Ximen Rin timidly. I saw that Ximen Rin's face was calm, and his eyes changed, but he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

Yang Ning ignored Ximen Rin's reaction, looked at Lin Zhiheng fixedly, and said coldly: "Since you are a martial arts student, what do you want to do in the future?"

Lin Zhiheng only felt that his will to resist was drowned by those eyes that were like ice and fire, and he said almost without any sense of resistance: "Zhiheng wants to be a general, go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, and fight for the country!" This was originally his deep thought, but he was a little cowardly in his nature, and when he said it, he would be ridiculed, and over time, he didn't even dare to think about it anymore, but today he was forced by Yang Ning's momentum and couldn't help but say it. As soon as the words came out, Lin Zhiheng's will was slightly sober, and he felt guilty and self-blame, not knowing why he was so tame in front of a prisoner.

Lin Zhiheng naturally didn't know that Yang Ning had naturally used the secret method of the Martial Arts Sect "King Ming's Angry Phase", which was the mastery of the disciples of the Martial Arts Sect without a fight, in his voice and demeanor, there was an implicit secret method of deterring the spirit, this was originally used from the stunt of the Tianyin Sect, if it was a weak-willed person, it would often collapse under this kind of power, and collapse without a fight, Cuihu also has a similar mental trick, but the form is completely different, one is like thunder and lightning, and the other is like moisturizing spring rain.

This kind of mental method Ximen Rin will naturally know, if not, how can he take over Yanshanwei at the age of the weak crown, and will be a flying and domineering, each capable of guarding and disciplining, Lin Zhiheng is afraid of Ximen Rin because he has seen Ximen Rin use this mental method to impress his subordinates, he is cowardly by nature, so he has been affected by it until now. However, although Ximen Rin found out that Yang Ning used this mental method, he did not stop it, for him, if he could enhance his understanding of Yang Ning, he would not mind sacrificing a Lin Zhiheng. However, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, because he had always used this mental method, and there were always some traces of deliberateness. However, Yang Ning's performance was different, Ximen Rin could feel that Yang Ning had already integrated this mental method into his heart, and he could use it naturally with just one thought. Ximen Rin hid the surprise in his eyes, and understood in his heart that if he talked about qualifications and talents, this master and nephew were no less different than himself, and now he could still suppress him because he had more than ten years of cultivation, but if he talked about the purity of cultivation, he was far inferior to him.

Yang Ning didn't pay attention to Ximen Rin's feelings, but just said lightly: "Since you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, how can you be so cowardly, let others bully and fiddle, and be a foolish man in vain." Although I am only a reckless man, I have also killed many guards alone, rushed into the Tingtao Pavilion, and almost beheaded your Royal Highness. But none of the guards around him retreated, Zhou Yun and Jiao Ping of the Xuan Group, who knew that they couldn't beat me, but they refused to let me in, and that weak scholar, who was obviously a mantis arm as a car, but he dared to talk in front of me, although I killed a lot of people, but I haven't met a few soft bones, especially the warriors of Youji, all of them are iron-clad, even those who have done wrong things. You are so weak, how can you be a general of Youji, let alone want to lead a strong team built by the Lord of the Fire Phoenix County himself!"

Lin Zhiheng only felt that everything was burning, although others looked at him with contempt and regret, but he always pretended not to know, and later, even he was used to the contempt of others, and always comforted himself, whether he would be a petty official in the future, even if he was originally a father and brother with high hopes, he was already disappointed in him, but today he was insulted and scolded by this prisoner, he still felt a wave of anger surging from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but clench his fists, looked up at Yang Ning, and said hatefully:" You are a prisoner of the ranks, and you dare to make a lot of nonsense here, whether I can be a general or not is not up to you to decide. ”

Yang Ning's eyes flashed with blood-red light when he heard this, if he saw it to Luo Chengyu or other people in the Tao Pavilion that day, he would definitely find that Yang Ning's expression at the moment was very similar to the appearance of almost going crazy that day, I am afraid that he has been strictly guarded, that is, Ximen Rin saw it next to him, and he had already raised his true qi and started to be vigilant, and at the door of the cabin, Ling Chong's shadow had already appeared, he had not gone far in the first place, and he couldn't help but show his figure when he saw such a situation at this moment. Ximen Rin and Ling Chong looked at each other, they couldn't care about the knot that had not yet been untied, they exchanged a look, they were already ready to join forces, after all, it was not the best choice to fight alone with such a young master, not to mention Lin Zhiheng's safety. Ximen Rin was even already thinking about whether to take the opportunity to get rid of Yang Ning and involve Ling Chong, who was loyal to King Yan, was also a good choice, and he might not still use the chess piece that Wei Baibu played.

But at this time, Lin Zhiheng was already controlled by anger and humiliation, and rushed forward angrily, pulling Yang Ning's collar, Yang Ning's hands moved slightly, and the gold chain that tied the shackles of his hands and feet trembled slightly, and Ximen Rin and Ling Chong both moved slightly, and they were about to make a move. But seeing Lin Zhiheng's blood-red eyes and angry and desperate gaze, Yang Ning remembered the day when he was listening to Tao Pavilion, when he was restraining Luo Chengyu, in the pupils of the other party's bright eyes, he saw himself with such a gaze. Somehow, the anger in Yang Ning's heart gradually subsided, after all, he didn't make a move, and both Ximen Rin and Ling Chong forcibly suppressed the urge to make a move when they saw this, but stared at the two of them more nervously.

Yang Ning originally looked down on Lin Zhiheng's cowardice, in his heart, he had already regarded Youji as a place of spiritual sustenance, and he couldn't help but be very angry when he saw Youji also having such a coward, so he would angrily reprimand Lin Zhiheng, he was a reckless person, and he didn't have any scruples at all, seeing Lin Zhiheng so angry at this moment, he didn't have a trace of fear in front of him, but he had a good feeling, and easily broke away from Lin Zhiheng's hands, he said coldly: "Coward, let me ask you, today I made a bet with the Commander, did I win." ”

Lin Zhiheng was clear when he heard this, and looked at Yang Ning intently, only to feel that although his expression was not so hideous and terrifying, the light on his body was as dazzling as a famous sword out of the sheath, he opened his mouth to speak, but he felt as if there was an invisible sword against his throat, but his heart was turbulent, and his anger was unabated, as if he didn't feel the threat of death, he shouted loudly: "Naturally, you lost!"

Although Ximen Rin and Ling Chong felt that they admired Lin Zhiheng's courage, they were worried that Yang Ning would be angry and make a move, and they each took another step forward, but Yang Ning laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, and then said coldly: "In front of me, even your Royal Highness the Prince of the World and those guards of the Heavenly Group and the Xuan Group, none of them dare to be so presumptuous, that is, the Ximen Commander you are most afraid of, why not be cautious, since you have the courage to say that I lost, what else is there to be afraid of in this world?"

As if he had been empowered, Lin Zhiheng was stunned when he heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement, and when he saw Ximen Rin and Ling Chong, who had approached the two of them, they both looked awe-inspiring, and they knew that what Yang Ning said was true, and when he looked at it again, he felt that the inexplicable fear in the past had disappeared unconsciously, he was a very talented person, and the obstacle in his heart was broken, and his thoughts suddenly surged, and he was very calm.

At this time, Yang Ning had already reined in his might, ignored the people in front of him, and walked straight to the hatch, he was originally unruly, and he had no one in his eyes, even if he was kind to Ximen Rin, he never looked down on him. Ximen Rin and Ling Chong were both thinking carefully about the situation in front of them, as long as Yang Ning didn't mean to make a move, they wouldn't have much to do.

On the contrary, Lin Zhiheng was very grateful in his heart, and he actually took a few steps forward, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "Zhiheng, thank you for the teachings of the prince!" He said this sentence with great sincerity, and he almost forgot that the person in front of him was the murderer of His Royal Highness the Prince, and also forgot what impact this inappropriate behavior would have on himself.

Yang Ning's body froze when he heard this, but he didn't look back, and walked into the cabin.
