A Clash of Gods - Chapter 202

[Chapter 1 Lost and Found]

After Qi Ning left the palace, Duan Canghai also waited outside the palace for an afternoon. He was very anxious. Seeing Qi Ning came out safe and sound, he hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Qi Ning just said that Longtai left him to eat in the palace, Duan Canghai said in surprise, “Master Hou, did the emperor say why he wants to stay for dinner?”

“Is there any special reason why the emperor kept Marquis Ben for dinner?” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Fortunately, we met with me at first sight, and everyone feels good.”

Duan Canghai knew that the emperor’s summons to ministers, especially for the first time, would usually end soon. He didn’t see Qi Ning in the afternoon. He thought that something had happened, and he was very anxious. When I came out, I was very surprised. After all, the first time I was summoned, I stayed in the palace for dinner, which was extremely rare.

However, it is certainly not a bad thing that the emperor can bestow food.

At this time, it was completely dark. Fortunately, at dusk, Duan Canghai felt that Qi Ning would only be able to leave the palace very late. He had already prepared lanterns and hung the lanterns on the carriage before returning to the Hou residence. .

The car dealership was chaotic. Qi Ning was thinking in the center of the car, and he didn’t know how long it was when he heard a shrill scream from outside. He was slightly startled. When Shi was walking down a street, there happened to be an alley next to it, and a figure rushed out of the alley.

Duan Canghai had already said sternly, “Protect the Marquis!”

Several entourages had drawn their scabbards and were already guarding the carriage. They were on full alert. Qi Ning only saw the man rushing out of the alley looking like a madman, dancing and screaming in pain.

Then he saw several more people rushing out from that alley, all with a wooden stick in their hands, tattered clothes and disheveled hair.

Duan Canghai said in a deep voice, “Who are you?”

One of the other party saw the carriage, came forward, and cupped his hands: “You’er travels all over the world, and guards Yin and Yang in all directions!”

Duan Canghai’s voice softened slightly and said, “It turns out to be the brother of the Beggar Gang.”

“Go the right way, please!” The man’s tone was polite, he raised his hand and made a gesture.

At this time, the remaining few people surrounded the howling madman. Someone stretched out his hand to catch the madman. Just surrounded, as if to find an opportunity to hold him.

Duan Canghai cupped his hands at the person who was speaking, and didn’t say much. Then he urged his horse to the window and whispered, “Master Hou, it’s okay, it’s a member of the Beggar Gang.”

“The Beggar Gang?” Qi Ning felt a little cordial when he heard these two words, and asked, “These people are all from the Beggar Gang? Who is that lunatic, and why are you arresting him?”

Duan Canghai said: “Master Hou, we don’t need to intervene in the matter of the Beggar Gang. The Beggar Gang and our Jinyi Hou Mansion have never had any grudges, so we don’t need to make trouble.”

At this time, I saw a man suddenly find an opportunity and throw the madman to the ground from behind. Taking the opportunity to rush up and hold down the madman, someone said solemnly, “Tie it up first and then talk about it.”

The few beggar gang disciples were quick to tie up the lunatic, and the lunatic screamed strangely in his throat, but he was held tightly by several people, but he could not break free.

The disciples of the Beggar Gang didn’t even want to look at Duan Canghai’s side. Several people lifted the madman with all his might and quickly entered the alley, where he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

“Duan Canghai, no one cares about this?” Qi Ning frowned. Although it was very late, there were still some pedestrians on the street. The scene just happened didn’t last long. The pedestrians on the street were far away. Stay away, don’t get close.

Duan Canghai explained: “Master Hou, this is the internal affairs of the beggar gang, and outsiders will not interfere, even if it is the mansion of the gods, as long as the beggar gang does not make too much trouble, they will not care. This is the ghost gold of the beggar gang. The people who are the helmsmen of the sheep have not caused trouble in the capital these years, and the disciples of the beggar gang and the government are quite cooperative.”

“Ghosts, gold and sheep split the rudder?” When Qi Ning was in Huize City, he knew that the Beggar Gang had a total of twenty-eight rudders.

It is named after the twenty-eight places, and the twenty-eight punishment rudders are all over the world, and it can be said that it is the largest gang in the world today.

Duan Canghai thought that Qi Ning didn’t know about the Beggar Gang, so the carriage continued to move forward, and he rode along by the window to explain: “The Beggar Gang has a total of twenty-eight punishment rudders, named after the twenty-eight sutras, and their disciples are all over the world. This ghost golden sheep is just one of their seven southern places in the south.”

“Nan Qisu?”

“Oriental Azure Dragon, Northern Xuanwu, Southern Suzaku, Western White Tiger.” Duan Canghai is familiar with the forces of the rivers and lakes, “The Southern Suzaku Hall has jurisdiction over the Nan Qisu Branch Rudder, and this ghost golden sheep is one of them. There is a rudder master in each of the seven places, and the elders of the Zhuquetang in the south seven places are all under the control of the elders of the Zhuque Hall, and the elders of the seven places in the south are in the capital.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning asked curiously, “Who is the beggar gang leader? Have you seen it?”

Duan Canghai shook his head and said: “The beggar gang leader Shenlong sees the head but not the end, even the beggar gang disciples, and not many people have seen it. I heard that the beggar gang leader’s martial arts is extremely high, and he is the most powerful wizard in the beggar gang’s martial arts in a hundred years. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know.” He added, “If the madman just now wasn’t the enemy of the Beggar Gang, he might be a member of the Beggar Gang himself.”

“My own?”

“Yes, I heard that the rules of the beggar gang are quite strict, and they have established twelve major gang rules, but if they touch it, the light ones will be expelled from the beggar gang, and the serious ones will even be executed by the beggar gang themselves.” Duan Canghai said: “Anyway, let’s not provoke those beggars. Although we don’t need to be afraid of them, we shouldn’t provoke them either.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “The gang rules are strict?” But he thought of the beggars in Huize City, who were kidnapped and deceived, and even kidnapped and sold young girls.

But thinking about it is relieved. Huize City is only a small county on the border of Chu State, where fish and dragons are mixed, and the disciples of the beggar gang in Huize City are only a small branch under the rudder of Wing Huo Snake. It is inevitable that they will be ignored. It is the heart of the state of Chu. If the beggar gang in the capital has loose gang rules, idly, and do evil in the capital, I am afraid that the beggar gang leader does not need to control it, and the Shenhou Mansion has already taken action.

In addition, the elders of Zhuquetang are in the capital, and the ghosts and golden sheep are under the eyes of the elders of the beggars, so they are naturally much more honest.

There was no accident along the way, and he returned to the Hou Mansion smoothly.

The Hou Mansion was already anxiously waiting, not only Gu Qinghan, but also every servant girl in the mansion was extremely nervous.

Everyone knows that he was summoned to the palace today and accepted the emperor’s summons. In the eyes of everyone in the Houfu, this time is actually a big test for the Jinyi Hou who just inherited the title. The rise and fall of the Jinyi Hou is directly related to the Houfu. After waiting for a whole afternoon, Lord Hou never returned to the house, even after it had been dark for a long time, he still did not see Qi Ning coming back. From Gu Qinghan and below, everyone was extremely nervous.

Being in the Hou Mansion, unlike ordinary people’s homes, he has a vague understanding of the situation in the imperial court.

Everyone also knows that, despite the calm, the capital has recently experienced a great change.

The situation in the imperial court changes in an instant. The so-called emperor of a dynasty and a courtier, although the previous two generations of Jinyi Hou enjoy a lofty status and reputation in Da Chu, no one can guarantee that Qi Ning, who has just inherited the title, will receive the same treatment. After all, everyone knows in their hearts that although this young master in the manor has inherited the title of Marquis of Jinyi, in truth, he has not made any great contributions to the court. His merits and prestige are far from the same as the previous two generations. Jinyi Hou is on a par.

When the old marquis was young, he began to follow Emperor Taizong to conquer the world, and when the second-generation Jinyi Hou Qi Jing was only the prince of Jinyi, he had already followed the old marquis to the battlefield and made great achievements. Compared with them, today’s When Jinyi Hou was the prince, what was most remembered was his stupidity.

Now that it was getting dark, Lord Hou never came back, and some people even felt that things were not good.

Gu Qinghan was upset, but she also knew that she was the backbone of the Hou’s mansion at this time. No matter what kind of news came, she must not be chaotic. If she even panicked, the entire Hou’s mansion would collapse completely.

Every moment passed, it was a little more torment for Gu Qinghan.

The Hou Mansion was dead silent. There were one or two hundred people standing in the courtyard. Gu Qinghan was sitting in the main hall. Although he was tired, he still waited quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard, breaking the silence. Everyone looked at the person who was coming, and saw that they were staring at the door. Gu Qinghan had already stood up and asked, “Master Hou is back?”

The man only ran for a short distance, but he seemed to be out of breath. He pointed to the door and said, “Third Madam, Lord Hou… Lord Hou…!”

Everyone stared at him, anxious to death, Gu Qinghan couldn’t come out, and said anxiously: “What’s wrong with the Hou Ye?”

I heard a voice laughing: “Why are you all here? Are you going to have a meeting?”

However, he saw that Qi Ning was walking lightly, walking over quickly, while Duan Canghai was following Qi Ning.

Qi Feng, Zhao Wushang and others were also in the crowd. When they saw Qi Ning appear, they looked at each other, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in their heart finally fell.

“Ning’er…!” Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning returning safe and sound, and said happily, “Are you alright?”

Qi Ning came forward and saw that Gu Qinghan was full of worry, his heart warmed and smiled: “Sanniang, I’m fine, the emperor called me into the palace to talk and chat with me, when it’s dark, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up. Meal time, so leave me to dine with him in the palace.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was stunned at first, but soon they all showed joy.

It is of course a great thing that the emperor can leave the Lord Hou for dinner together. The heartstrings of everyone who were originally tense were finally completely relaxed at this moment.

Only then did Gu Qinghan let out a sigh of relief, finally showing a smile, and waving his hand: “Everyone, let’s go down first, Lord Hou is back, don’t worry.”

The crowd dispersed happily, and the Hou Ye was appreciated by the emperor. The Hou residence will naturally be smooth sailing in the future, and the whole residence can of course sit back and relax.

Back in the hall, Gu Qinghan asked, Qi Ning naturally said what he should say, and deleted what he shouldn’t say. His loyalty and meritorious service is very respected, and he hopes that Qi Ning can inherit the aspirations of the previous two generations of Jinyi Hou and share weal and woe with the court.

It wasn’t until Gu Qinghan was completely relieved that Qi Ning saw that Gu Qinghan was very tired, so she persuaded her to rest.

In the dead of night, Qi Ning was lying on the bed, thinking about what he said to Long Tai today, knowing that this little emperor is actually a person with a plan in his heart, and he offered his own advice today, the little emperor obviously listened, but some things are easy to say, really It is not easy to do.

What’s more, whether it is the King of Huainan or the Marquis of Zhongyi, they are not simple characters. It is easier said than done to balance these two with power and skills, and to develop and strengthen their own strength in the confrontation between the two. He must master the heat in a proper manner. He really doesn’t know whether Longtai can master the heat at his weak age.

But he knew that Longtai was a very patient person.

After Xiang Tianbei found himself on the day of the funeral, Longtai had no temper, but secretly sent Xiang Tianbei to confirm. There was quite a period of time between them. Qi Ning believed that Xiang Tianbei should not only monitor himself at the flower market that time. , UU reading www.sonicmtl.com even sometimes I never found out.

Longtai was very patient, knowing that there was no doubt, so he declared himself into the palace.

A person has patience and is always the basic quality of doing great things.

He closed his eyes and lay on the bed thinking, suddenly he heard a “click”, and there was a very light movement from the window, but after being poisoned by the little witch Anao last time, Qi Ning has become much more cautious, and the Hou residence The guards were also more stern, he immediately stood up and whispered: “Who is it?”

There was no sound to answer, Qi Ning touched the cold blade, got up and walked slowly to the window, only to find that the originally closed window had actually opened a small gap.

He frowned, clenched the cold blade, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a table by the window, which was originally empty, but now there is a pile of things.

He approached, but saw a stack of blueprints, reached out to take it, only glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly.

On the table, it turned out to be a picture of a sword that could not be found anywhere!
