A Clash of Gods - Chapter 726

[Chapter 722]

/p> Meng Guangren smiled bitterly and said, “Although my wife was safely escorted back to the capital, she was so frightened that she lay down when she returned to the mansion. To this day, she has never woken up, and Shuimi has never eaten half a drop.”

Qi Ning said: “Mr. Meng, it’s true that the Black Scale Camp can’t help you. There are still a few old ginseng roots in the Hou residence. When I look back, I’ll send someone to take care of my wife’s body immediately.”

Meng Guangren saw Qi Ning’s sincerity and said immediately. : “Master Hou, this is absolutely impossible.” He said with emotion: “Don’t hide it from Master Hou, you can handle this matter fairly, and the lower official is very grateful. Master Hou inherited the family tradition of the old master and the general, please forgive the lower official. It’s really gratifying to say that I’m not qualified.”

“Although I inherited the marquis, I am still young, and I don’t think about many things well, and I don’t have enough experience. If there is anything wrong, I need more of you seniors. Please give me some pointers, please understand.” Qi Ning said with a smile.

Meng Guangren hurriedly said: “Master Hou is too modest. This time, during this trip to Dongqi, Master Hou was able to bring Princess Dongqi back to my great Chu smoothly. No one does not admire this ability and credit.”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, and then asked, “Master Meng, you sent four servants to escort your wife home, and these four servants are naturally carefully selected.”

Meng Guangren said, “Don’t hide the Lord, these four servants, All of them have practiced some kung fu, although they are not brilliant, but if anyone takes it out, two or three big men will not be an opponent.” After a pause, he explained: “The salary of the lower official is not high, and he has to support the palace. There are many people up and down, and it would be very difficult to add the monthly money of these four domestic servants. However, the wife’s family is a big family, and the family is well-off.

Qi Ning and Duan Canghai looked at each other before asking, “So, these four servants are all good in martial arts, and ordinary people can’t get close.”

Meng Guangren nodded and said, “Even if there are ten or eight bandits out there, You shouldn’t be afraid either.”

Qi Ning looked at Duan Canghai and asked, “Duan Canghai, are the three soldiers who escaped from the Black Scale Battalion very powerful?”

Duan Canghai immediately shook his head and said, “Reporting to the Marquis, the selection of soldiers in the Black Scale Battalion is very strict. Before entering the camp, each soldier must be tested many times. There are very few people in the army, if the martial arts are not bad, there are other ways to make a living, and there is no need to come to the military camp to be a soldier.” After a pause, he continued: “The three soldiers who escaped have a roster record, and there is nothing. Martial arts.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully, “They joined the military camp for some time. If you train hard day and night, can you make their martial arts advance by leaps and bounds?”

“It’s impossible.” Duan Canghai shook his head and said, “Enter the camp. After that, they must first strengthen their physical training, and then master how to use a broadsword and spear, and then gradually learn to mount and shoot kung fu. Methods, I haven’t started training the swordsmanship in the barracks. Compared with ordinary people, they may be much stronger, but they will not be much taller.”

Qi Ning said: “As far as I know, in the barracks, in the barracks. The soldiers in the army are all trained to go into battle to kill the enemy, and I have never seen a martial arts professor.”

Duan Canghai nodded this time and said, “What Marquis said is very true, although the number of ways in the army and the martial arts on the rivers and lakes are the same. It’s the skill of conquering the enemy, but it’s very different.”

Qi Ning showed a look of doubt and asked, “This is strange, since the three soldiers are only trained in the military camp for a short period of time, so what? Can they be the opponents of the four martial arts masters? According to Lord Meng, the martial arts of the four domestic servants are not inferior to those of the three soldiers. Even if the three soldiers are three against two, they may not be able to stand any advantage, not to mention the number of people. The superior is also at a disadvantage.”

Duan Canghai immediately said: “Master Marquis, my subordinates have been wondering about this.

”

Meng Guangren nodded slightly and said, “Master Marquis, in fact, the subordinate officials are also very surprised by this. When I sent my wife back to the manor and told me about it, Xiaguan couldn’t believe it at the time. Although the Black Scale Battalion is an elite soldier, it is really hard to imagine that three soldiers could kill Xiaguan’s three servants.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “Mr. Meng, where did your knowledge of the scene come from?”

Meng Guangren said solemnly: “After the incident, the Kyoto government sent someone to escort the wife back. Three soldiers from the Black Scale Battalion were captured on the spot, and the corpses of the three servants were also sent back.”

“Mr. Meng sent four Personally, where is the remaining servant?”

“It’s still in Kyoto Prefecture.” Meng Guangren said, “Kyoto Prefecture wants to investigate this matter, and the remaining servant is called Su Fei, who is now being kept in Kyoto Prefecture as a witness. The Kyoto Prefecture.”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “That is to say, the news you know is all reported by the Kyoto Prefecture?

” In the capital city, I also saw Su Fei, but Su Fei was injured, and the people from the capital city helped him heal, but he couldn’t speak.”

Qi Ning and Duan Canghai looked at each other with suspicion.

Meng Guangren lowered his voice and said, “Master Hou, do you think there is anything strange about this?”

“It’s hard to say for now.” Qi Ning said, “But if those three black-scaled soldiers are really murderers, I will definitely explain to Lord Meng. .” He pondered slightly, stood up and said, “Master Meng, I just came back last night, and I haven’t entered the palace yet. I still have to go to the palace, so let’s say goodbye first.”

Meng Guangren immediately cupped his hands and said, “Xiaguan send Hou Ye.”

After Qi Ning and Duan Canghai left the Meng Mansion, they rode side by side and headed towards the palace. Duan Canghai saw that Qi Ning seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, “Master Hou, are you thinking about the strangeness in this matter?

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “If what Meng Guangren said is true, then the Meng House is also a victim of this incident. How could three Black Scale Battalion soldiers cope with four martial artists and even kill three of them? This is a big deal.

”

There is something wrong, and you have to go to the capital to find out the truth.” After a pause, he asked, “When did you receive the message?”

“It happened the night before yesterday. During the morning exercise yesterday, I found that there were three missing pieces. The famous soldier, immediately sent someone to look for it, and at noon, the people from the Kyoto Prefecture ran over to announce it.” Duan Canghai said: “After learning about this, I discussed it with Zhao Wushang and others, and some people said that they would go to the Kyoto Prefecture to ask for it. People, even if the soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion violated military regulations, they should be dealt with by the Black Scale Battalion themselves.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “That’s right.”

“But Lord Hou said that everything must be patient and not to provoke right and wrong easily, so the subordinates thought about it and thought that they should go back to Hou’s mansion first. If Lord Hou happened to be there, That would be better, if Lord Hou has not returned to Beijing, I will go to the capital to negotiate with Tie Zheng in person.” Duan Canghai said, “It’s always better to find out the ins and outs of things.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “Duan Er Uncle does everything well.” Wei pondered for a while before saying: “You can go to the Kyoto Palace to test it now and see what’s going on. I’ll go to the palace first. After I meet the emperor, I will go directly to the Kyoto Palace.”

Duan Cang Hai cupped his hands and said, “My subordinates obey.”

Qi Ning didn’t delay, he went straight to the imperial city, and the imperial guards would naturally not stop him. He entered the palace and was greeted by the eunuch to the imperial study. In the study, he saw Longtai sitting at the edge of a table and playing games with others.

Hearing the footsteps, Longtai raised his head, saw Qi Ning

, and said with a smile: “Jinyihou, hurry up and see what I should do next.” He

came and said with a smile, “Jinyi waited for a long journey. It was really hard work.”

Qi Ning was startled when he saw the man, but found that the man was actually Xiao Shaozong, the prince of Huainan.

“My minister sees the emperor, and sees His Royal Highness!” Qi Ning did not dare to lose his etiquette when he saw that there were outsiders present.

Longtai beckoned and said, “Come here and look at this game of chess, Shizi is very good at chess, and it is not easy for me to deal with it.”

Qi Ning walked over and saw the black and white twins on the chessboard. I don’t know how to play

chess, so I can’t see why.”

Xiao Shaozong laughed, his voice was clear, and said: “Watching chess without saying a word, a real gentleman, Jin Yihou, I will play a chess game with the emperor, you don’t need to intervene, I and I The emperor’s chess game is about losing more and winning less, this time I finally have some hope, but don’t ruin my good deeds.”

Qi Ning smiled, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com was puzzled, thinking that the prince of Huainan had a good friendship with the emperor. The two of them could sit in the imperial study to play games, and their conversations were relaxed and not restrained. If it was not for their close relationship, they would never behave like this , and Qi Ning could also see that whether it was Long Tai or Xiao Shaozong, they were very natural when they spoke, as it always seemed.

Longtai didn’t say much, stared at the chessboard, pressed a piece, didn’t look at Qi Ning, just said: “Jinyihou, there is some snacks over there, I will reward you, wait for me to finish this game of chess, later Let’s

talk to you.”

Qi Ning said yes, turned his head and saw that there were really a few plates of cakes on the side of the case. After returning to the Hou Mansion yesterday, he didn’t even eat dinner, and spent the whole night in Tang Nuo’s house. When I came out in the morning, I immediately took Duan Canghai to the Meng Mansion. After returning to Beijing, I was really hungry. When I saw the cakes, I was really hungry. Although Xiao Shaozong was present, he was welcome. With a plate in his hand, while eating cakes, he leaned over to watch chess.

Both of them were attentive, and their moves were not slow, but the game had come to an end. The board was black and white. Although Qi Ning was not proficient at chess, he knew a little bit about it. Black and white seem to be evenly matched, and neither side has much of an advantage.

Seeing this game of chess, Qi Ning suddenly thought that he had cracked Mr. Sanliu’s Qihuang game at the Jinghua Book Club. At that time, someone was giving advice. To this day, he still doesn’t know who was behind the advice that day.

PS: I just came home from Beijing today. After my training, I have benefited a lot. I believe it will be of great help to my writing in the future.

With the coming of the Double Festival, there must be many brothers and sisters who will travel, go out, pay attention to safety!
