At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the north of the river has fallen with flowers and leaves, but the south bank of a water still carries a little autumn, especially the Jiangning City of Longpan and Tiger is still in the best time of the year, and then ten and a half days and a half, to enter the most unbearable winter, the cold and humid winter is always the pain of the gentry and people who live in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, even so, in the red leaves of Qixia Mountain have not faded today, although the early sunny days after the rain, there are still many people climbing the mountain to travel, and the beautiful Mochou Lake, the bright Xuanwu Lake, are full of tourists。

Of course, the most lively place in Jiangning City is still the restaurant Qufang along the Qinhuai River, the traffic is busy, the painting boat cruise ships are cruising back and forth, the people near the water have red sleeves, the winding path is quiet and there is a singing voice, it is really ten zhang red dust, nephrite is warm and fragrant, even if it is a blue sky and white sun, it is also filled with the atmosphere of drunken gold fans.

Jiangning was originally the Wu lord Sun Quan Jianye, Zhuge Kongming is known as the place where the dragon and the tiger are located, has always been regarded as the place where the emperor was established, twenty years ago, his real name was Jinling, after the Yue Gong Tang Kangnian returned to Chen, in order to show his heart, he changed his name to Jiangning, in addition to five thousand generals, and then did not leave a soldier, although everyone knows that the Jiangdong naval army is almost the descendant of the Tang family, but this posture is enough to reassure the royal family.

Although Jiangning's status has been weakened, but the prosperity is only better, Yang Wei in order to show his tolerance to Tang Kangnian, Jiangning to the Yue Guogong as a hereditary fiefdom, although it is a favor, but after all, to ensure the absolute power of Tang Kangnian, and those who nominally belong to the imperial court, in fact, the counties controlled by the Tang clan are different, Tang Kangnian's strategy to govern Jiangning is very relaxed, reduce all kinds of unpopular taxes and miscellaneous taxes, commercial taxes are only three percent of other places, with Jiangning guarding the important position of the river artery, and the post road waterway extending in all directions, Jiangning has become the most prosperous place in the world, especially compared with many states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River where people's livelihood is withered, even more soOver the years, the bulk goods such as rice, grain, silk, salt, tea, etc. in the southeast have been transferred through Jiangning to Luoyang, Chang'an, Chengdu, Yueyang and even Xindu and Fanyang.

Wan Bao Zhai's owner Wan Ruyi's origin is unknown, his identity is unknown, and even his appearance may not have been seen, but this person has clever means and a wide range of doors, and when he set up a head office in Jiangning 18 years ago, the first thing he did was to give 20% of the dry shares to Yue Guogong. Since then, the business has become bigger and bigger, and almost all the cities with some status have their branches, but because they are only keen on buying and selling treasures and antiques, even if some people are jealous of the wealth of Wanbao Zhai, they will not be overly jealous. Even if someone is red-eyed and wants to count Wanbao Zhai, he must also find its seven inches. Because there is nothing more valuable in the branches of Wanbao Zhai all over the country, except for the house furnishings, all the treasures bought and sold are other secret rudder collections, and in addition to the principals of various places, the other guys are almost all hired locally, and do not know the secrets, if they are oppressed by the government and wealthy families, the person in charge only needs to make a decision on the spot, and go away, and those semicolons will become a source of water, only let it dry up. And these real people in charge, almost all of them are shrewd people with both civil and military skills, and under such a loose surface, but in fact it is tightly organized, it has become an impossible problem to solve the problem of bulldozing Wanbao Zhai. Unless it is the princes who exchange news and work together, no one can guarantee that they can wipe out Wanbao Zhai, but now in this situation, if you want all the princes to work together, I am afraid that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. Therefore, Wanbao Zhai has stood like this, and compared with those merchants who are short-lived under the threat of power and force, it has become a rare outlier.

Wanbao Zhai's Jiangning head office is located in the Qinhuai River near the Zhuque Gate on the royal street, even the clouds of the mansion, magnificent, before and after a dozen into the house is not like a shop to buy and sell treasures, but like the mansion of the prince and general, if in Luoyang or Chang'an, this will most likely be punished for trespassing, but in Jiangning, this is very normal, not to mention the world's famous Wanbao Zhai, is an ordinary businessman, as long as you can afford gold and silver, you can do this. In fact, if you talk about magnificence, Wanbao Zhai is not the most outstanding, but if you talk about garden architecture, it can be regarded as a rare exquisite beauty.

Such a collection of treasures held by Wanbao Zhai, and coincided with the great opportunity for the lord of Hanwang County to choose a son-in-law, this time the collection of treasures can be described as very successful, not only merchants from all over the country gathered, that is, the major princes have envoys to come, and the Yue Guogong is extremely incompatible with the Youji also came to participate in the collection of treasures, not to mention the distinguished guests who came from Luoyang. The four-day treasure gathering was supposed to be at its hottest, but after noon on the fifth day, Wan Yan, the chief steward of Wanbao Zhai, a thin middle-aged man, looked at the bustling hall and frowned.

The interior of the Canghai Hall, the only room that can accommodate hundreds of guests, imitates the design of the pear orchard, and a platform is built against the gate, on which the treasures for sale can be displayed, and below is a round table of sour branch wood, covered with brocade and red satin, which can be used for guests to sit down and enjoy the treasures slowly, and there are stairs at the four corners of the hall to go upstairs, and the upstairs is separated by a hollow screen and a brocade barrier, among which the best several boxes have independent terraces outside, along the corridor connecting the terraces, you can walk back to the pavilion that has been booked in advance, if you want to hide your identity, these boxes with terraces are the best choice。 Before the Gathering of Treasures, these boxes had already been booked, and even more so in the few secret boxes, and in the past four days, not only the hall was crowded with people, but even most of the boxes were full, but only today, it was past noon, and all the boxes were empty, how could this not be anxious? After all, only the guests in these boxes could afford to buy the real treasures.

When Wan Yang was frowning and thinking, a neatly dressed, but slightly gloomy man walked to him with his head down, and said in a low voice: "Manager Wan, I'm afraid that no one will come today, Dongyang Hou went to Xinlinpu to greet distinguished guests, many people heard the wind and left, it is said that the Demon Emperor who shook Chibi and washed Wujiang Liulin in blood is coming to our Jinling today." You know, a few days ago, Dongyang Hou suffered a big loss from the Demon Emperor, so naturally he wanted to take revenge and come back. However, before the gathering of treasures, the Yue Guo Mansion had promised not to investigate the identities of the guests from all over the world who came to Jinling. If the agreement is violated, I am afraid that the reputation of the Duke of Yue Guo in Jiangnan will be gone, not to mention that this demon emperor has not been officially wanted by the government, that is, he is really wanted, this time Dongyang Hou did not dare to do it casually, so everyone said that Dongyang Hou wanted to intercept that Zijing Gongzi outside the city and solve the previous grievances, so he reluctantly said that the past is not a violation of the promise. Regardless of whether Dongyang Hou can succeed or not, it is rare to have such an opportunity to get a glimpse of the strength of Chunshui Hall and even the Yueguo Mansion, and also to see the demeanor of the Demon Emperor, I am afraid that the people with a little status in Jinling have gone to Fengtai, where are they still in the mood to participate in the treasure gathering?"

Wan Yan sighed and said: "This manager has been busy with all parties to discuss the purchase and sale of treasures these days, and he is almost so busy that he didn't pay attention to such earth-shattering news, it was really a mistake, I knew that this was the case, it is better to find an excuse to rest for half a day, so as not to waste time, just arrange it, this afternoon more than 50,000 taels of treasures will not be put out, we can't sell at a good price, and we can't get a share." ”

Just as he was giving orders to the men to take care of the house, a steward hurriedly walked up to Wan Yang and said happily: "Steward, the guest who booked the Cedar Pavilion has arrived, please go over and discuss business." ”

Wan Yan's expression did not move, but there was a clear light leaking from the depths of his eyes, but on the surface, he only smiled, and followed the steward out of the hall, and walked around and around to a pavilion hidden behind the cedar forest. There is also a cloister on the terrace of this pavilion connected to the Canghai Hall, but now the terrace door is closed, and it is obvious that the guests inside have no intention of going to the Canghai Hall. Outside the pavilion gate, several strong men dressed as bodyguards were standing with their elbows crossed, although these people were dressed ordinarily, and they looked dusty, and the blades were hidden under the coats, not leaking the edge. But when I saw the fierce aura of these people, I knew that these people were by no means ordinary guards, and most of them were murderous dead soldiers. Wan Han's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and after greeting those people, he walked into the Cedar Pavilion, smiled and hugged his fists to the black-clothed man standing in front of the black lacquer and gold screen, and said: "The Lord of the Yihui is here, Wan is late to greet him, and please don't be surprised." ”

The man turned around, it was Yi Buping, who was full of wind and dust, and he said slightly apologetically: "Wan Guan forgives his sins, and he originally hoped to rush to Wanbao Zhai yesterday according to the agreement, but he didn't expect to encounter some unexpected troubles on the way, so he had to be late for a day, but the first batch of jewels that need to be valued is here, and please ask the manager to deliver the gold immediately according to the agreement, if there is any obstacle, Yi can let half of the price be, I don't know what the chief manager wants?"

Wan Han laughed and said: "The master of the meeting is serious, it is nothing to be a day late, and there is no need to give in terms of price, even if Wan Mou suffers a small loss this time, the master of the meeting must be compensated in the future, not to mention that now the master of the meeting has elite soldiers in his hands, and the demon emperor is backed by the demon emperor, the future is unlimited, Wan Mou still hopes to pay the tail, Qingyun straight up, I just hope that we will continue to cooperate in the future and make a fortune together, how can there be a reason to fall into the well?"

Yi Buping's color eased slightly when he heard this, and he didn't expect to leave Wujiang for only half a day, and he heard the rumors of the bloody willow forest, so that Yang Ning and Qingping not only could not continue to protect the front and rear of the caravan, but also tried to provoke some right and wrong, and completely diverted the attention of the world. Coupled with the fear of rumors and murder, leaving no traces of blood, and the possibility of Wanbao Zhai tearing up the agreement, Yi Buping was really a little uneasy in his heart. Fortunately, Wan Yi was really greedy for money and profit as rumored, and he was bold and bold, and he didn't embarrass Jinfan at this time, you must know that businessmen are heavy on profits, at this time, even if Yi Buping is discounted by two or three percent, he will probably not refuse, after all, these jewels can only be exchanged for gold and silver to buy warships, and the Yu family in Nanmin does not recognize these jewelry pearls. After selling these jewels, the silver money is almost enough, and the rest is just to see if it is the icing on the cake. With such a result, it was not in vain that Yang Ning and Qingping Ming repaired the plank road and entered the city from Xinlinpu with great momentum, but they secretly crossed Chencang and made a detour to Jubaoshan to enter the city.

When Yi Buping was groaning, Wan Yan had already looked at the jewels in the box, and when he saw those treasures and antiques, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes, and he couldn't help peeking at Yi Buping's face and said, "The messenger sent by the Lord of the Yihui once said that there are a few special treasures, but are they still on the way?"

Yi Buping smiled indifferently and said: "Naturally, there are still a few precious treasures, Yi has brought inconvenience, and he has not yet entered the city, Manager Wan does not blame Yi for being cautious, the value of those treasures can be compared to all in front of him, and even if there is no price, he naturally does not dare to send them to the door like this." ”

Wan Yan said suddenly: "Yes, it is naturally good to be cautious, but I am in a hurry, I might as well wait until the business in front of me is negotiated, and then it is not too late, and then it is not too late." ”

However, these detailed estimates are naturally not responsible for people like Wan Han, after calling a few guys, the two went upstairs to talk together, but even Yi Buping and other figures, did not find the deep worries in Wan Han's eyes, he held a treasure gathering in the name of the lord of the fast, on the surface it is just an intermediary transaction, in fact, it is mainly to buy stolen goods, buy low and sell high, and they have close contact with the upper family has the Nanmin Yu family, in fact, he has already known according to the intelligence network of Wanbao Zhai that Jinfan will buy warships from the Yu family, if it was in the past, even if Jinfan will be famous, it is just a bandit, and the foundation is not deep, You don't have to worry about the future troubles when you use it, but now Jinfan will get these many gold beads for some reason, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, plus there is the Demon Emperor as the backing, the future will be out of control, Wanbaozhai and the Yu family have a close relationship, is it to unite the Yu family to eradicate the Jinfan Society as soon as possible, or use the Jinfan Club to remove the Yu family that is getting bigger and bigger? Although these are not Wan Han's master, but he still can't help but think a lot in his heart.

Thinking of the current chaotic situation in Jinling, coupled with the Demon Emperor Sword Jue who was about to enter the city, Wan Yan had a headache and found that he was only afraid that the violent wind and rain were coming, and whether Wan Bao Zhai could gain a firm foothold in such stormy waves, Wan Yan was not sure, and couldn't help but wonder why Zhai was holding a treasure collection conference at this time, isn't this asking for trouble?

"It's really self-inflicted. Qingping stood on the bow of the boat and complained, although it was angry and angry, but in her hand she was playing with a bowl of frosted saffron that resembled a peony and was not a peony. Yang Ning stood opposite her, gently waving the horsewhip in his hand, although the wrist only trembled slightly, the black and gold horsewhip turned into a faint shadow in the air, and when the whip fell, the petals of the red flower were shot down one by one, but it did not hurt the stamen at all. When the last petal fell, Qingping finally happily threw the red flower into the river, and said proudly: "Okay, Zijing, you have already made this hateful Lingshuang flower for me, and finally let me breathe." ”

Yang Ning couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and crossed the river by boat, but when he passed by the new pavilion, Qingping saw the nameless red flowers dyed with frost on the vines on the cliffs, and gave it a "Ling Shuang" on a whim The name is not counted, but also to climb the cliff to pick, originally for her to fold the flowers, but she refused, what to say must be picked by hand to have fun, the result of the flower is picked, but he fell down from the cliff with a stumbling, fortunately caught by himself from mid-air, otherwise it will not fall into the river, such weather, such a cold river, if you fall into the river, although with her water nature will never die, but also must suffer some hardships, a few days ago Chaohu Lake was forced to go into the water is just that, but there is no reason to soak in the water。 Back on the boat, Qingping did not give up, but blamed the responsibility for falling into the water on the frost flower, thinking about it, he actually wanted to use a horsewhip to roll the petals off one by one, and he didn't know whether to test his whip method, or deliberately let himself not be idle, let alone say what kind of punishment Ling Chi had heard by chance, but he didn't know what kind of punishment it was, could it be that he also used a horse whip to break the flesh and bones on the human body piece by piece, if you want to kill, it is not very good to cut it in two or use the palm force to break its meridians, so Ling Cut and chop is not very troublesome。

Thinking like this in his heart, Yang Ning inadvertently swept his eyes, and saw the deep worry and anxiety in Qingping's eyes, Qingping's behavior of always messing around in the past few days suddenly had an answer, Yang Ning's heart suddenly brightened, thinking of Qingping's hard work, he couldn't help but say softly: "Sister, you don't have to make me happy, I'm not sad, I'm not angry, it's just a small thing, I don't take it to heart, you don't have to care." ”

Qingping heard Yang Ning's words, knowing that he was aware of his own thoughts, only when he was comforting himself, he couldn't help but feel even more sad in his heart, even if he was originally a strong and strong character, he couldn't help crying at this moment, and sighed: "It's all my fault, giving the secret to Uncle Yi has already made a meritorious achievement, but it is too much, and Uncle Yi made a cooperation agreement, in fact, the two of us are all over the world, why do we need any gold and silver seas, blame me for asking for trouble, promise to cooperate with Uncle Yi, and ask you to secretly support the Jinfan Club." If it weren't for the purpose of sending this batch of secrets to Jinling, we wouldn't have passed through the Wujiang River, we wouldn't have met Lin Qun, and we wouldn't have caused you to become a murderer inexplicably. Now everyone thinks that you killed Lin Qun and those innocent travelers, and they don't know how to start if they want to defend you, and everyone who knows about the events of the day is probably dead, except for the murderer, I'm afraid that only Lian Wuxian is still alive in the world. But Lian Wuxian is willing to defend you, but I'm afraid that others will think that you are colluding with him. It's no wonder, who let Sister Lu Qi be a guest in the Xindu County Lord's Mansion so far, His Royal Highness the Prince is magnanimous and refuses to embarrass you, even if there is the vicious battle under the red cliff, others only think that we are doing a show, if Lian Wuxian is also present, maybe others will think that he is your accomplice. ”

Yang Ning smiled faintly and said, "Since I didn't kill those people, why should we rush to argue." Anyway, you know and I know, God knows, and Lian Wuxian and Yihui Lord, they all know that people are not killed by me, isn't this enough, what does it matter what other people think, even if everyone says that I killed them, what does it matter? Although we know that someone deliberately framed him, but this is not an uncommon thing, is it really all ruthless and murderous in the past generations of my martial arts sect? In fact, this may not be the case, and there are naturally many people who have accumulated money and destroyed their bones, but if they are qualified to inherit the position of the suzerain, how can they care about other people's opinions. Don't say that this matter may not come out of nowhere, even if no one knows the truth after all, it doesn't matter, am I still afraid that someone will come to take revenge, not to mention that no one may dare to risk death to provoke, even if someone really comes to take revenge, there are not too many opponents who try to recruit. Why should my sister worry about such a trivial matter, and she doesn't have to bother to clear my name, even if she wants to defend herself, no one can testify for me, and no one believes them when they speak, not to mention that it's too late for them to avoid people now. As for Lian Wuxian, if he doesn't add fuel to the fire, he can already be regarded as an estimated friendship, where is it possible to defend me. What's more, you also said that even if he is willing to tell the truth, it will not help. ”

Qingping only felt sad when she heard this, how could she let others slander her in the world, but Yang Ning's performance was taken for granted, could it be that he had been framed by others? Thinking like this in her heart, unconsciously, Qingping unintentionally asked. Yang Ning was silent for a long time before he sighed: "I haven't seen a few people before, where can anyone care about framing me." It's just that my mother said that the world is not as good as it should be, even if the intention is good, there may not be a good result, life in the world, the more beautiful the wood, the easier it is to frame and slander people, Zhilan is in charge, but also has to hoe, not to mention ordinary people with shortcomings? Even if you want to try your best to get rid of this tragedy, it is just getting deeper and deeper, and it is just a waste of effort. It is better to keep one of your own hearts, do what you should do, do not need to worry about the tongue of the world, the so-called clean self-purity, turbidity self-turbidity, as long as the conscience is clear, even if the white bi falls into the sludge, after washing is still beautiful and flawless. These words were originally heard by Yang Ning when the Lord of Huofeng County thought about the past and talked to himself, he was used to seeing the indifferent expression of his mother's relatives on weekdays, and the pathos that the Lord of Huofeng County occasionally revealed was naturally firmly remembered by him, so when Yang Ning relayed these words, he couldn't help but reveal a similar expression between his eyebrows, and his delicate and cold face revealed endless sadness and sadness.

Fortunately, such a look was only fleeting, Yang Ning said that he smiled, this bright smile like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds seemed to dispel all sadness, reached out and lightly shook Qingping's slender hand, and said gently: "Sister, don't think about this matter anymore, okay? Others hurt me and hate me, this is their own business, what does it have to do with me? If I can't even cope with such a thing, my mother and master have wasted more than ten years of hard work to cultivate me." ”

Qingping listened to Yang Ning calmly, only to feel that there was still endless pathos in these words, but every word was also insightful, but there are a few people in the world who can really not care about the eyes of others, even if it is herself, she has always prided herself on being free and easy, isn't she also worried about the crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents? Compared to this young man who is not as knowledgeable as himself, he is still too restrained, where is this like the disciple of Mr. Qingjue, and where is it like the daughter of Yin Tianwei and his mother? When my father was alive, she never feared the words and opinions of others, and although her mother was weak, she never bent her waist for other people's words, if not, how could she live to the day of revenge in the gossip that condemned her face and trouble. Thinking of this, Qingping only felt that the worries in her heart were swept away. It's just that she still has another layer of worry, so she grabbed Yang Ning's arm with her backhand, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Okay, if someone dares to come to ask you about Xingshi, you don't have to worry, just let it go, kill it if you want to kill it, and abolish it if you want to abolish it, let them go to Jiuquan to understand the truth, in short, let them not dare to come to be verbose again, at most I will accompany you to be scolded." ”

Although Yang Ning didn't care about other people's frames, he still felt warm in his heart when he heard Qingping support him like this, but although he didn't understand the world, he could guess the ** of the ten in Qingping's mind, knowing that Qingping was actually worried that he would kill in anger, but he was falling for someone else's trick, so he said the opposite, persuading himself to be patient, so he smiled faintly and did not speak, but held Qingping's hand tightly, and a smile of understanding appeared on his lips. Although there was no conversation, Qingping was able to understand Yang Ning's intentions, and also showed a real smile, leaning on Yang Ning's shoulder and closing her eyes to recuperate. Yang Ning only felt that his heart was fluttering, although he didn't know the restrictions on whether secular men and women were intimate, but it still took a while to muster up the courage to reach out and hug Qingping in his arms, nephrite was warm and fragrant, and his sideburns were grinding, only to feel that this journey was actually as long as possible, and it was best never to go to Jiangning, and he didn't have to face those intriguing people and things.

When the two were confused, they didn't notice that the boatman was already trembling, and he was looking at Qingping in a daze through the gap between the two famous horses, he was unlucky, there were so many ferries, but the rumored Demon Emperor Sword chose his own boat, and he could only send the two across the river in fear when he didn't dare to refuse. It's just that he couldn't imagine that this beautiful woman like a flower is more fierce than the Demon Emperor, thinking of what the woman said, he really hopes that no one will have much trouble, so as not to shed blood in Jinling, anyway, he has never been to that Wujiang, and he doesn't know any Feihong swordsman, anyway, in this world, not to mention the death of more than 100 people, even the bandit army slaughtered the village and destroyed the town, if you want to live a few more days, it is best not to embarrass this pair of ruthless teenagers and girls.

The three people on the boat were silent, and after a long silence, the boatman suddenly said happily: "The front is to Fengtai, behind Fengtai is our Waguan Pavilion in Jinling, Miss Gongzi can get off the boat at the port in front of Fengtai, where you can hire a carriage to enter the city." "If it was in the past, he would have been talking about the famous places of Jinling to the guests, but this time it was a joy that these two magic stars could finally get off the boat, generally speaking, the ferry boat will send the guests to Fengtai, of course, there are also guests who like to pay more fare, take a boat from the water gate into the city, but this is not his plan, presumably these two are obviously the first time to Jinling guests do not know that it can be so.

Yang Ning and Qingping naturally didn't know the boatman's thoughts, just looked up at the magnificent pavilion on the high hill, the ring in front of the river, the flat domain is far away, magnificent, the shadow falls on the river on weekdays, and the sunset is back to the people Guo, peeping at the leopard in the tube, only to see the grandeur of the tile pavilion and the traffic in front of the pavilion, they know that the prosperity of Jinling is indeed unparalleled in the world.

Qingping was pleasing to the eye, pointed to the Waguan Pavilion for Yang Ning's evil and said: "It is said that in the past, there was a phoenix falling on Gaogang, attracting a hundred birds to the phoenix, so the power of the minister at that time rose from the mountain, called the Phoenix Terrace, also called Fengtai Mountain, and then this power minister took this as an auspicious omen, and brazenly accepted the Zen emperor, and established the Waguan Temple on Fengtai Mountain to worship the Buddha, begging for the heavens for all the people, but now the time has passed, no one remembers, but this Waguan Pavilion of up to 340 zhang has become a famous spot in Jinling. ”

After hearing this, Yang Ning said lightly: "It doesn't matter if it's a famous spot or not, but this Waguan Pavilion is so high, if you can climb the pavilion, look up at the floating clouds, and overlook the river, it must be a great pleasure in the world, sister, let's go ashore." ”

Qingping listened to Yang Ning's indifferent tone, but also still had a trace of excitement, knowing that Yang Ning was a teenager after all, it was inevitable that he would be active and playful, but he was probably forcibly suppressed, so he was so curious and happy when he still couldn't bear to reveal his true emotions, and his heart ached, at this moment Qingping scolded the culprit who made this young man suffer so much that he was bloody, no matter whether that person was Yang Ning's blood relative or not, no matter what that person's intentions were, no one has the right to treat their biological son like this, if it is bound to be so, that person is not worthy of being a parent。

The ferry was about to approach the riverbank, and saw a group of people waiting for the battle, there were too many familiar faces among them, Yang Ning and Qingping's expressions changed slightly at the same time, although they had long expected that they would not hide from others' eyes and ears, and even deliberately leaked their whereabouts to attract the attention of others to themselves, but they still didn't expect to face such a grand occasion. exchanged glances with each other, Yang Ning did not wait for the ship to arrive at the shore, so he swept ashore, stood on the Fengtai with his hands, and looked at the people standing in front of the Waguan Pavilion one by one.

Those people originally had their own thoughts, but at this moment, everyone who bumped into his cold and cruel gaze couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts, and even the leader Shi Ming was intimidated by his gaze for a while, and the thousand words that were originally prepared seemed to be frozen, and his chest was even more sullen, as if even the qi and blood around his body were out of control, and he couldn't speak for a while, and he felt in a daze that Yang Ning's heroic posture at the moment would never be erased from the bottom of his heart.

Qingping stood on the boat, looking up at Yang Ning's arrogant figure in the world, only feeling extremely proud in her heart, this young man was her closest confidant and best friend, and she felt his joys and sorrows. The boatman at the stern of the boat didn't understand what was happening, he only felt that the silence on the shore was strange, and he was anxious to get rid of the villain, he inadvertently looked at the distant sky, and blurted out: "Miss, the dark clouds in the direction of Zhongshan in the northeast are getting heavier and heavier, it seems that it will definitely rain this evening, Miss and Gongzi should hurry up and get off the boat and stay overnight, otherwise they will be blocked by the autumn rain." ”

Qingping was slightly stunned, she naturally understood the boatman's thoughts, but she didn't expect him to have such a smart excuse, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and didn't want Yang Ning to continue to confront those inexplicable people, look at the bow of the ship near the shore, and don't need to take the springboard, lightly vertically, like a flying flower falling to Yang Ning's side, and said with a smile: "Zijing, it seems that it is going to rain, let's go into the city quickly, don't pay attention to these boring people, are we Qin criminals, and want them to block the way here." ”

Yang Ning heard the meaning of the words, only felt funny in his heart, his face couldn't help but soften, he glanced at everyone lightly, and said coldly: "If you don't dare to make a move, just get out, my sister is in a good mood today, and I don't want to embarrass you." ”

Shi Ming's qi and blood had calmed down at this time, and he just wanted to take a stand this time, but he didn't want to really fight with Yang Ning, so he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Emperor Zun, Shi Mou brought all your friends to greet him, but he just wanted to pay tribute to Emperor Zun's demeanor, and there was no malice, and if you were rude, please ask Emperor Zun Haihan." Chibi farewell, although there are only a few days, but one day and three autumns, in the next Simu Emperor, sincere intentions. In the past, it was just someone who sowed discord from it, which caused the conflict between the two sides, and now that things have changed, presumably the emperor will not be embarrassed by the Yueguo Mansion because of the past festivals, right? This time, Wanbao Zhai held a grand gathering of treasures, and the heroes gathered in Jinling City, and it was inevitable that there would be people who did not have long eyes to offend the emperor, and asked the emperor's subordinates to be merciful, and not to open the killing ring in Jinling City, otherwise the Yueguo Mansion could only ask the emperor for advice in order to maintain the law and order and the safety of the people. ”

Qingping heard that Shi Ming already knew the meaning of Shi Ming here, indeed if Yang Ning opened a killing ring in Jinling, it would be the Yue Guo Mansion that would lose face, even if he led the crowd to encircle and suppress, with Yang Ning's martial arts, it was just easy to get out, presumably because he was unwilling to do it on his own territory, so as not to harm the pond fish, so Shi Ming, who was originally natural and would not rest with Yang Ning, actually took the initiative to show weakness and seek peace, although he disdained Shi Ming's weakness, but he didn't want to cause trouble and bad things in Jinling, Qingping smiled faintly and said loudly: " Dongyang Hou personally came to greet Zijing and the little girl, this kind of love is not ashamed, the so-called people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if there is no one to do, our sisters and brothers will not itch to kill. After saying that, she glanced at Yang Ning, only to see Yang Ning's expression indifferent with approval, knowing that she didn't pay attention to Yang Ning's intentions, she couldn't help but smile.

At this time, the mounts of the two had been brought ashore by the boatman, and the two of them no longer paid attention to the characters with different looks, and each rode on their horses, waving their whips, and they both ran towards the city, although there were pedestrians on the road, but the mounts of both of them were incomparably superb, and they were like entering no man's land, but in a moment, the backs of the two had disappeared without a trace.

Shi Mingtie sent the order with a blushing face, and let the two people be closely monitored, without the slightest relaxation, but he knew in his heart that the coming wind and rain would be difficult to resist after all.
