Nightstar used the short blade in his hand to turn back and forth on the shopkeeper's legs, his eyes revealed a penetrating expression, and he said sharply, "If you tell the truth, maybe I will spare your life, if there is half a lie, I will make your life worse than death." ”

The shopkeeper's tragic shouts broke the silence of the courtyard, and Fei Ming quickly clicked on several key points on his legs when he saw this. The shopkeeper covered his wounds with both hands, his face was pale, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Yes... Be.... Before the young heroes moved in, the steward of the Qingwang Mansion had wrapped it up and rearranged it, and other small things were not known. ”

"Qingwangfu?" is it...."Mu Ning leaned against the window, holding his neck and looking down at the miserable shopkeeper on the ground, and said softly, "It seems that he doesn't seem to be lying, if it is really Qingwangfu, it may have nothing to do with Cao Haotian's affairs." ”

"Hmph, if you dare to tell the slightest untruth, I will definitely dismantle you. Night Star quickly pulled out the short blade from the shopkeeper's leg, turned back to the wooden chair, looked up at the rest of the people, and asked, "It seems that King Qing's Mansion wants to give us a dismount, thinking that such a trick can scare us." ”

Xia Qingyi came to the table, and carefully observed the calligraphy and paintings on the case, but did not find the portraits of Tianxianglou and Shaolin Temple, she frowned, and said softly, "If Qingwangfu wants to use these paintings to intimidate us, it is too underestimate us." But if it is really a warning, we must inform the teacher, and we must not let such a thing happen. ”

Lan Jing picked up one of the calligraphy and paintings, although he was much calmer than when he saw it for the first time, he still couldn't help but have a worry in his heart, there was still lingering sadness in his eyes, and he said softly, "It's just the matter of the past few days, if we don't have to warn the division first, if someone really dares to challenge our eight major factions, we should also take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Mu Ning walked to Lan Jing's side, looked at the calligraphy and painting of Qingcheng Mountain on the table, nodded, and echoed, "This time, the masters have all come to Jinling, although there are elders guarding the mountain gate, you should still be more careful." I agree with Senior Brother Lan Jing's suggestion to warn the master first, and then follow the instructions of the master after the master arrives in Jinling. ”

"Hmm. Yue Menghan, Yuankong, and Yingluo nodded in agreement. Fei Ming picked up the shopkeeper, took out a big tonic pill from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "Little brother, this is my Tianxianglou healing elixir, after you take it, the pain on your leg will be reduced a lot in a few days." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the big supplement pill from Fei Ming's hand, put it in his mouth, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." The little ones must remember the grace of the heroes not to kill. ”

"Let's go. This matter has nothing to do with you" Night Star looked at the shopkeeper, his eyes softened a lot, and he said indifferently, "Since it was done by the people of King Qing's Mansion, we will do it tonight...."

After the shopkeeper withdrew from the courtyard, Fei Ming closed the wooden door, stood next to the flower pot behind the door, tasted the fragrance carefully, and said in a low voice, "There is more blood in the room, fortunately there is this pot of violet." ”

Mu Ning put away the calligraphy and paintings on the table, stacked them together and handed them to Xia Qingyi, and said softly, "Senior Sister Xia is very careful, so you can keep these calligraphy and paintings for the time being." As for tonight's banquet in Ningfu, I don't think it's better not to go. ”

"Why? Are we afraid of those people in Jinyiwei?" "Nightstar stood up from the wooden chair and stared at Mu Ning as he asked, his words full of questioning.

"Even if you don't put Jinyiwei in your eyes, you have to consider the actual situation" Mu Ning glared at the night star, his face was displeased, and he said sharply, "The Zhenfu Mansion is not comparable to the Ning Mansion, and Ning Wuji is not an ordinary court official. ”

"Hmph! It's not just a Jinyi guard commander, so I don't pay attention to it. Night Star walked to the table, his eyes staring at Mu Ning on the other side, without showing weakness at all.

"He's no ordinary commander. Lan Jing hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, he pulled the night star back to his place, and said softly, "Everyone has something to discuss." ”

"You have lived in Northern Xinjiang for a long time, do you really not know Ning Wuji's identity before entering the court?" Mu Ning snorted coldly, walked to the window, sat on the wooden window, and looked sideways at the lake outside the window and the little fires on the island in the distance.

"Amitabha" shouted a Buddha horn in the air, and the loud voice interrupted everyone's dispute. His huge body blocked the sight of Yexing and Mu Ning, and said in a low voice, "The matter of calligraphy and painting has not been figured out yet, so we shouldn't hurt the harmony between the eight factions because of this matter." ”

Everyone was at a stalemate, and Fei Ming just stood quietly beside the violet flower, watching everyone discuss whether to go to Ningfu for the banquet. About half an hour later, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, and the four brocade guards turned over from their horses and hurriedly broke into the courtyard of the Hongchen Inn.

"Excuse me, are the heroes of the Eight Great Factions here?" one of the brocade guards shouted loudly, while the three brocade guards behind him had lamps in their hands, and they looked around the rooms in the courtyard. Although Ning Wuji couldn't swallow the bad breath during the day, although he was above the court, he still didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the eight major factions, about Cao Haotian's matter, he still set up a banquet in the mansion, and ordered Jinyi Wei to come and invite him.

"Squeak...."Fei Ming pushed open the door, folded his arms in front of his chest, looked at the four people in the courtyard and asked, "What are the four of you talking about?"

"May I ask Your Excellency?" the brocade-clothed guard who took the lead asked with his hands clenched into fists and very respectfully. They all knew very well that the disciples of the Eight Great Sects had broken into the Fu Si Mansion and defeated many masters in the Jinyi Guard, and even the Ning Commander had no choice but to do anything about them. Moreover, before going out, the adults of the hundred households told them not to rub against the people of the eight major factions again.

......

On the wooden corridor under the palace of the imperial city, Chen Jing saw the person coming slowly towards him, his hands trembling on the ground, and he only heard the gentle footsteps of the person. "Ah Weng, you are also the old man in this palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood beside Chen Jing's right hand, stopped, and said softly, "What is the matter with Duke Xu just entering the palace?"

Chen Jing was shocked, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace overnight and witness all this. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he shivered all over, and stammered, "Guogong.... Guogong... He entered the palace to meet His Majesty. Your Highness... Your Highness...."

"It turns out that you still know that this palace is His Royal Highness, and this palace is ordered to supervise the country, you...."His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's tone was very soft, without any blame at all, and he bent down slightly and patted the dust on his robe.

Chen Jing hurriedly slammed his head on the floor and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, the old slave knows that he is wrong.... The old slave knows that he is wrong..."

"Okay, okay, this palace is the most soft-hearted, and I can't see others like this in front of me. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at the attendants beside him, and motioned for them to help Chen Jing up, he said with a smile, "This palace will ask you one last time, what did Xu Guogong say when he entered the palace?"

"It's... This..."Chen Jing looked embarrassed, he looked at the expressionless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and replied, "The old slave is bold, and he doesn't dare to directly lead Xu Guogong to meet His Majesty." ”

"That means that Xu Guogong hasn't seen his father yet?" The cold light in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes swept over Chen Jing's eyes, making his legs tremble in shock.

"Yes, this matter, the old slave is still..." Chen Jing stood up straight with the support of the two waiters.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took out a piece of cloth from his robe to wipe the blood stains on Chen Jing's forehead, and said softly, "Gonggong Chen, you are also an old man beside your father, and you should know the rules of this palace better than others." ”
