A Clash of Gods - Chapter 920

[Chapter 910]

When Qi Ning came out of the palace, it was already past midnight.

If other local officials had an accident, naturally it would not be Qi Ning’s turn to investigate in person, but this time it was the Governor of the East Sea Division who had an accident. This is not only a major event for the Tantai family, but also a major event for the Chu State. .

Qi Ning could naturally hear that in the style of Sima Lan’s words, he didn’t want to investigate the case by himself, but the old marquis of Tantai was obviously very insistent.

Qi Ning is also keenly aware that the direct consequence of Tantai Zhilin’s death this time is that the East Sea Division is headless. As a result, the East Sea Division will usher in a great shock.

After coming out of the palace, Qi Ning did not go back directly to the mansion, but went to Xianleju where Ximen Shenhou was located.

Although Ximen Wuhen is the goddess of the Shenhou Mansion, but now he spends less and less time in the Shenhou mansion, but he often stays in the leisurely residence, and the body of the old goddess does not look as good as before.

Xianleju is located in a remote location. When Qi Ning came to Xianleju, it was already midnight. He was not sure whether Ximen Wuhen had already heard the news of Tantai Zhilin’s suicide. After all, the news was blocked in the first place. , and it did not spread to the outside world, but the Shenhou Mansion is very powerful, and even if Ximen Wuhen knows the news, it is not surprising.

The interior of Xianleju was quiet, Ximen Wuhen seemed to have fallen asleep, Qi Ning hesitated for a while, and finally knocked on the door.

The knock on the door was very clear at night, and after a while, he heard a voice from inside: “Who is it?” But it was the voice of a girl, and Qi Ning immediately heard the voice of Ximen Zhanying.

After the competition in the palace that day, Qi Ning never saw Ximen Zhanying again. It has been a long time now, and according to the customs of Chu State, it is not advisable for both men and women to meet in private after marriage. I didn’t find Ximen Zhanying privately, but I couldn’t avoid it when I came to Xianleju tonight.

Qi Ning hesitated before saying, “Zhan Ying, it’s me!”

The room was silent for a while, and after a while, Qi Ning heard a voice from behind the door and said, “What are you doing here? It’s very late!”

“Is that goddess there?” Qi Ning said softly, “I have something urgent to see the goddess!”

“Father is already asleep.” Ximen Zhanying whispered behind the door, “Why don’t you come over early tomorrow morning?”

Qi Ning thought that when he was discussing matters, both the emperor and the old marquis of Tantai hoped that he would leave as soon as possible. Back and forth, after thinking for a while, then softly said: “I know the god waiter is resting, but!” After a pause, he said: “Forget it, then you should rest earlier, I will come back tomorrow when I have time.”

No matter how urgent he thought, he called Ximen Wuhen in the middle of the night, but it was still inappropriate. He turned around and was about to leave. He didn’t take a few steps when he heard a “crunch”, but the door was opened, and Qi Ning stopped. When he turned around, he saw that the door of the house was half-opened, and Ximen Zhanying stood by the door without speaking.

Qi Ning looked left and right, no nonsense, his figure flashed, and he had sneaked in lightly, Ximen Zhanying closed the door smoothly, turned around, and saw Qi Ning in front of him, the two were close Just a short distance away, Ximen Zhanying’s heart skipped a beat and she took a step back. Qi Ning looked at the moonlight at this time and saw that Ximen Zhanying was wearing a very loose cyan silk skirt, her temples were a little messy, obviously she just got up, but it was so It looks prettier.

Ximen Zhanying has practiced martial arts for many years, and the lines of her body are naturally more three-dimensional than ordinary girls. Her beautiful body is wrapped in a silk skirt, which is graceful and moving.

Seeing Qi Ning’s eyes swept across her body, Ximen Zhanying’s cheeks were slightly hot, but Qi Ning couldn’t help but whisper: “Zhanying, you seem to be much prettier.”

“You just like to talk nonsense.” Ximen Zhanying was praised by Qi Ning, but there was a burst of joy in his heart, and he said shyly: “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Qi Ning deliberately walked closer and whispered, “I’ll come and see my daughter-in-law, so I won’t be guilty, right?”

“Not yet married,

Not your wife.

“Ximen Zhanying lowered his head, not daring to look at Qi Ning.

When Qi Ning saw the shyness of Ximen Zhanying, who was usually sassy and handsome, he couldn’t help but reach out and hold her hand. Ximen Zhanying was startled and wanted to break free, and said in a low voice: ” Don’t mess around, Daddy is still here.”

Qi Ning thought that this was not a joke, if Ximen Wuhen saw that he came to take advantage of his daughter in the middle of the night, he might not have good fruit to eat, Qi Ning was still quite afraid of the old goddess, let go of his hand, Ximen Seeing this, Zhan Ying couldn’t help but have a smile on her lips. She rolled her eyes at him and whispered, “So you were also afraid sometimes.”

“It’s not that I’m afraid.” Qi Ning whispered: “I’m just being patient, anyway, after a while, you’ll be my daughter-in-law, then I’ll hold you as I want, and kiss you as I want. !”

Ximen Zhanying listened to what he said, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, “You still say it? If you talk nonsense again, I will call Daddy to come out.”

Qi Ning smiled and asked in a low voice, “Zhan Ying, is the goddess asleep? I’m really in a hurry to find him.”

“What urgent need to come here in the middle of the night?” Ximen Zhanying frowned and said, “Daddy’s health is not very good these days. I want to find a doctor and he won’t let me. I really don’t know what to do.”

“Are you sick?” Qi Ning frowned, “Isn’t it okay?”

“It’s been a while.” Ximen Zhanying frowned with worry, and sighed softly, “I even vomited blood a few nights ago!”

Qi Ning was taken aback. With Ximen Wuhen’s cultivation, he still vomited blood, which showed that he was seriously ill.

But Qi Ning also knows that no matter how high the martial arts is, it is still a body of flesh and blood, not an immortal. It is inevitable that life, old age, sickness and death will be inevitable. Ximen Wuhen is now old and weak, and it is unavoidable. Sick, it’s really strange.

Seeing Ximen Zhanying’s worried expression, Qi Ning said softly, “Zhanying, Shenhou has excellent martial arts skills, and his body is different from ordinary people. Even if he is ill, he will recover with time and care.”

Ximen Zhanying hummed softly and said softly, “You help me persuade daddy, every time I ask him to come over to a doctor, he always says that those doctors are not good at medicine, and that even he can’t cure diseases, those doctors can’t see it at all. What’s going on?” Youyou said: “Daddy is too arrogant in his life and never asks for help. Now that he is old, he still refuses to admit defeat, and he doesn’t even let the doctor see him when he is sick.”

“God waits for a hero for a lifetime. Naturally, he doesn’t feel that he needs to find someone if he is sick.” Qi Ning sighed softly: “Zhan Ying, don’t worry too much. I will turn around and persuade him.”

Ximen Zhanying nodded, and then whispered: “What are you doing here to find Daddy so late?”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s actually about our marriage.”

Ximen Zhanying blushed, bowed his head and said, “Isn’t it all the three old grandfathers of your family who came to discuss this time? What are you doing here yourself?” Let the groom go out in person.

“Zhan Ying, do you know that something big happened in the East China Sea?” Qi Ning’s expression became solemn.

“Major event? East China Sea?” Ximen Zhanying asked in confusion, “What’s the major event?”

Looking at Ximen Zhanying’s reaction, Qi Ning thought that Ximen Zhanying really didn’t know that Tantai Zhilin was dead, but he didn’t know whether Ximen Wuhen deliberately concealed it, or even Ximen Wuhen didn’t get any information.

Qi Ning didn’t hide it, and told Tantai Zhilin’s suicide. Ximen Zhan Sakura’s face paled, and he said in surprise: “Tantai Governor committed suicide? How is this possible.”

“The court also thinks that this matter is very strange, so!” Qi Ning hesitated.

He knew very well in his heart that for Ximen Zhanying, he might be immersed in the joy of becoming a wife. The two families have been discussing this marriage for a while, and good things are coming soon. The investigation of the East China Sea may make Ximen Zhanying very disappointed.

Ximen Zhanying seemed to understand something and asked in a low voice, “Then did the imperial court send you to the East China Sea?”

Qi Ning was stunned, thinking that Ximen Zhanying was smart, and smiled bitterly: “I just came over to the palace, and the old marquis of Tantai is talking to me alone tonight. What he means is that the governor of Tantai committed suicide this time, something is wrong. , I can only go to Donghai Xiangjia to investigate. Moreover, the imperial court is worried that after the death of Governor Tantai, the situation in the East China Sea will be turbulent. A chance to rule the world!”

There was a hint of disappointment between Ximen and Ying’s eyebrows, but he still said: “You are the Minister of Punishment, and there is such a big case in the East China Sea, it is only natural to send you there. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

“Zhan Ying, we are going to get married soon, but this is the moment!” Qi Ning felt a little guilty.

Ximen Zhanying smiled reluctantly and said in a low voice, “You don’t have to worry, I know that the state is a big thing, and if such a big thing happens, if you ignore it, it’s not you. It’s all done right away, and this time, when I go to the East China Sea, I will definitely find out the truth.”

Ximen Zhanying was so considerate, and Qi Ning felt even more guilty. She reached out and gently embraced Ximen Zhanying and hugged it into her arms. Ximen Zhanying was startled for a while, but she still let Qi Ning hug her. Qi Ning said softly: “Zhan Ying, this time I go to the East China Sea, I will finish things soon, and when I come back, we will get married immediately.”

“You go well.” Ximen Zhanying whispered: “Daddy is not in good health, I want to stay by his side to take care of it, I can’t accompany you this time, you have to take care of yourself outside, anyway, I will wait Just come back.”

Qi Ning even hugged Ximen Zhanying’s soft body tightly, the moonlight was faint, and the affection was endless.

“I’m going to call Daddy.” After a while, Ximen Zhanying gently pushed Qi Ning away: “If you go to the East China Sea, you won’t be able to come back in a while, so you can only change the wedding date. You have to talk to Daddy about this.”

“Yeah.” Qi Ning nodded and said, “I’m here tonight, just to discuss this matter with God Hou, and see if we can postpone the wedding for a month.”

Ximen Zhanying nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, “Wait a minute, I’ll go take a look.” He went straight to Ximen Wuhen’s house. Qi Ning was waiting in the courtyard, thinking about how to explain to Ximen Wuhen later. That’s right. After a while, he saw Ximen Zhanying hurried over with a worried look on his face. Qi Ning hurried up and asked, “Is the waiter awake?”

“No!” Ximen Zhanying said anxiously: “He’s not in the house, he’s gone!” (https:)
