Jinling South, here is the place where the ministers of the court and the emperor's relatives gather in the residences, although Ning Wuji is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is directly ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, and in his initial command position, Emperor Taizu gave him a mansion. Chu Feng rode forward, and the four carriages behind him slowly drove into the street, and Fei Ming, who was wearing a red robe, lifted the curtain on the window and looked at the mansions on both sides of the street, all of which were magnificent official mansions. "I didn't expect that Ning Mansion would be here, I thought he would be near the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. ”

Chu Feng looked back at Fei Ming on the carriage and chuckled, "Fei Daxia said that he was joking, the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division is an important place in Gyeonggi, and it is dependent on the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and they are all dependent on the imperial city and waiting for the emperor's order at any time. Although Lord Ning is a commander, he is no different from other officials and has his own mansion. ”

Starting from Mochou Lake Xi'an, it took about half an hour to drive, and everyone finally arrived in front of Ningfu. In addition to Song Lingbing, who was still healing, the disciples of the Eight Great Sects and Fei Ming entered from the main gate of Ning Mansion under Chu Feng's lead. The waiter at the door hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully with a smile on his face, "Your distinguished guests have finally arrived, please come inside." I'm going to tell the lord that the heroes of the eight major factions have arrived. ”

"Su Qianhu, I have seen Lord Qianhu in my humble position. Chu Feng saw a man walking not far away, and his eyes were extremely bright, and he could see at a glance that the other party was Ning Wuji's beloved apprentice Su Yue, and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

Su Yue greeted him, with an embarrassed smile on his face, he smiled and said, "Everyone, we meet again, please inside." ”

Chu Feng quickly stepped forward to Su Yue's side and asked in a low voice, "Is the commander in the study?"

"Hey, why don't you see Song Daxia of the Wudang faction. Su Yue recalled the situation when they and Song Lingbing encountered an attack in the Nanyang Realm, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, and he hurriedly asked with concern, "Song Daxia's injuries are not healed?"

Fei Ming and the night star and the others behind him returned the salute politely, and did not pay attention to Su Yue, but followed Chu Feng towards the mansion. Everyone walked through the front yard and went straight to a lotus pond, Chu Feng stood respectfully by the wooden bridge in front of the lotus pond, and said with a smile, "After walking through this lotus pond, you will arrive." He pointed to a Ningfu hall opposite the lotus pond.

Fei Ming, Yuankong, Yexing, Mu Ning and others slowly walked through the lotus pond and came to the front of the main hall, where two maids greeted them from the hall and led everyone in. Ning Wuji in the hall smiled and laughed, "The old man thought that you wouldn't go to the banquet." I was going to take a few bad people to the Red Dust Inn to pick you up. ”

"Commander Ning is polite, the purpose of our coming tonight must be very clear to you. Fei Ming stood directly opposite Ning Wuji, ignoring the various dishes on the dinner table, and behind him stood the rest of the disciples of the various sects in turn, and everyone looked like they were asking for guilt.

Chai Wuming saw such an embarrassing situation, Ning Wuji's face was also extremely solemn, and he quickly stepped forward to play a round and said, "Everyone, take a seat first, if this spreads, we will blame us for neglecting the heroes of the eight major factions." ”

Ning Wuji was the first to take a seat, he looked at the eight people standing in front of him, and suddenly laughed, "Could it be that the disciples of the Eight Great Sects are still afraid that I will poison this meal?" As soon as the words fell, he picked up a glass of sake from the table, drank it all, and pointed the wine glass to Fei Ming and the others.

"It's hard to be gracious in Commander Ning, how can we afford such a sumptuous dinner. Nightstar looked disdainful, and he sat down on the right side of the table, while the rest of the group sat down one after another. Chai Wuming picked up the wine jug on the table and filled the wine glasses on the table in turn.

"No," Xia Qingyi said with his hand blocking Chai Wuming's wine jug, "The monks can just drink some tea." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Chai forgot about this, thank you Xia Nuxia for reminding me. Chai Wuming picked up another teapot from the wooden plate served by the waiter behind him, slowly poured it into Xia Qingyi's teacup, and said softly, "Xia Nuxia, don't worry, coming here is like returning to Mount Emei, we will definitely take care of you." ”

Chai Wuming had just filled everyone with wine, and before he could return to Ning Wuji, Fei Ming took the lead in asking, "Brother Chai and Brother Su who met at the main gate just now went to Luoyang on your orders?"

Chai Wuming's face was shocked when he heard this, he glanced at Ning Wuji out of the corner of his eye, only to see that he had a kind face, picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table and picked up a piece of snow-white fish from the dishes on the table, and said softly, "The old man likes to eat fish since he was a child, and today he specially ordered someone to prepare some fresh cod from the East China Sea for you, you might as well try it first." ”

"This fish is not necessary, we are going to the banquet this time for one purpose, can Commander Ning hand over Cao Haotian? This person is a traitor to my Tianxianglou, and I hope that Commander Ning will not shield this person, lesp..." Fei Ming held the teacup on the table tightly with his right hand, his eyes stared at Ning Wuji opposite, he secretly said in his heart, since he entered the mansion, although he had not seen any ambush, Ning Wuji actually dealt with it calmly, which really made him a little unpredictable.

"This, I understand, after Su Yue recovered, he informed me of the details of his trip to Luoyang. Ning Wuji put down the bamboo chopsticks, looked at Fei Ming, who was very nervous, with a smile on his face, and chuckled, "Fei Ming, right? Relax, come to Ning Mansion as a guest, and the old man will definitely give you an explanation." But Cao Haotian is not in the house at the moment. ”

"Then where did he go?" Fei Ming's nervous nerves suddenly rose, he got up and asked, he was more nervous than anyone here at the moment, he knew very well in his heart that if Cao Haotian disappeared or was killed, no one would know the whereabouts of the owner of Murong Mansion. During this period, if someone provokes the eight major factions, the rivers and lakes will definitely cause another bloody rain, and all this seems to be coming little by little, he suddenly remembered the calligraphy and paintings in the other courtyard. The expression on his face became even more solemn, Fei Ming sat down in a daze, and looked at Ning Wuji opposite, "Cao Haotian was taken away by the disciples, didn't they tell you of your whereabouts?"

"It seems that Commander Ning didn't invite us here to solve this matter, so is there any need for this banquet to stay?" Lan Jing was the first to get up, and was about to walk out of the hall, when he was stopped by two brocade-clothed guards at the door. Lan Jing turned around and sneered, "Could it be that Jin Yiwei wants to do it here?"

"Stand down!" Ning Wuji snorted coldly and glared at the two brocade guards at the door, who hurriedly retreated to the sides.

"Commander Ning wants to use Jinyiwei to test if our eight major factions are easy to bully?" Night Star crushed the wine glass in his hand, he left the table angrily, came to Lan Jing's side and said coldly, "Since Jinyiwei is unwilling to hand over Cao Haotian, then we can only come back to visit another day." ”

"If you have something to say, you are all high-ranking disciples of the Eight Great Sects. No matter what we do.... How can it be an enemy of the eight major factions. Chai Wuming hurriedly stepped forward to play the round, he glared at the jade tassel beside Ning Wuji, and motioned for her to hurry up and persuade Ning Wuji to stabilize the current situation. He knew very well in his heart that if the disciples of the Eight Great Sects really made a move here, even if Ning Wuji defeated them all, but the Eight Great Sects would not give up, and they would definitely go out, and the Jinyi Guards from all over the country came to report that the masters of the Eight Great Sects were rushing from Luoyang to Jinling, and if they fought with the Eight Great Factions at this time, the Jinyi Guards would probably become the target of the public.

The jade tassel came to Ning Wuji's side and whispered, "Father-in-law, according to reports from Jinyi Wei secret agents from all over the country, the masters of the Eight Great Sects and Tianxiang Building are on their way to Jinling, and at this time, if they tear their faces with the Eight Great Sects..."

Ning Wuji waved his right hand, signaling the jade tassel to stand back for the time being, he got up and clasped his fists with both hands and saluted the disciples of the Eight Great Sects, "Everyone has just arrived in Jinling, regarding Cao Haotian's matter, this official will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." It's just..."

"Just what? Commander Ning has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Fei Ming got up and saluted, and the disciples of the various factions on the side also got up. Mu Ning interjected and asked, "I don't know, is King Qing related to this matter?"

"Ah!" Chai Wuming heard Mu Ning's words, his face changed greatly, and even Ning Wuji, who was directly opposite everyone, frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that they would directly associate with His Royal Highness King Qing.
