A Clash of Gods - Chapter 921

[Chapter 911 Phantom of the Moon]

Qi Ning was a little surprised, and hurriedly went to Ximen Wuhen’s house. Ximen Zhanying immediately sped up and led the way in front of Ximen Wuhen’s house. The door was open, and there were no lights inside. Ximen Zhanying entered the house and pointed. Putting on the bed, he said, “Look, Daddy’s not here.”

Xianleju was originally a very simple residence. Although Ximen Wuhen was a dignified imperial concubine, life was simple. The house was very simple. There was a blanket on the simple wooden bed, and Qi Ning walked over. , I saw the blankets scattered randomly on the couch, and the sheets were a little wrinkled, obviously someone had just slept in not long ago.

“When did the goddess fall asleep?” Qi Ning asked with a frown, then quickly went over to light the oil lamp, and looked around, both windows were closed.

“My father’s life is very regular on weekdays.” Ximen Zhanying said: “When there is nothing, he will go into the room to rest as soon as the hour passes, and he will definitely fall asleep before three quarters of Xu. He is not in good health these days. , go to bed earlier, and go to bed to rest as soon as Xu arrives.”

“Tonight too?”

“After dinner, Daddy stayed in the studio for a while. When Xu Shi arrived, I went to call him and he went to bed.” Ximen Zhanying said, “Before I went to bed, I came to see it. Daddy was sleeping soundly at that time.”

“It’s almost time, that is to say, more than an hour ago, the goddess was still here.” Qi Ning reached out and touched the sheets, there was still residual heat, and nodded slightly: “It’s really not long before the goddess left!” He looked at the door of the house. With a glance, he asked, “Zhan Ying, when you came in, the door was closed?”

“It’s covered.” Ximen Zhanying said, “I called outside the door twice, but there was no sound in the room, so I pushed the door and came in, and I saw that the bed was empty, and Daddy was gone.”

Qi Ning looked around, there was nothing special in the room, but he saw clothes on the chair at the corner of the bed, walked over to pick it up, looked at Ximen Zhanying, Ximen Zhanying walked over and took it, frowning: “This is It’s the clothes that Daddy wears during the day, and after washing them at night, they put them here.”

“That is to say, the goddess did not leave too far, otherwise he would not go out without his clothes.” Qi Ning frowned: “Let’s look for it separately.”

Ximen Zhanying looked anxious, and hurriedly separated from Qi Ning to search. Qi Ning wondered if Ximen Wuhen could not sleep and ran to the studio in the middle of the night, but there was no light in the studio, Ximen Wuhen could never paint in the dark , but still went over to take a look, and looked around the studio, but there was no trace of Ximen Wuhen at all.

Qi Ning’s heart was even more strange. Ximen Zhanying also searched for a circle. This Leisure Residence is not big, just like an ordinary dwelling, just a few rooms. Looking anxious, Qi Ning comforted: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Ximen Zhanying is thinking that Ximen Wuhen has been in charge of the God Hou’s mansion for many years. Although he has a high position, he has indeed resorted to iron-blooded means in order to frighten the rivers and lakes. The major gangs in the rivers and lakes will definitely not have a good impression of this God Hou. , and even many people have formed a grudge with Ximen Wuhen, which is regarded as a thorn in the eye.

Now that Ximen Wuhen is old, and his energy is no longer comparable to that of the past, Ximen Zhanying is only worried that there will be enemies who will take the opportunity to find him at this time, which will be detrimental to Ximen Wuhen.

But then he thought that Ximen Wuhen was still the God Hou of Shenhou Mansion after all, and his power was still there, and who would dare to eat a bear’s heart and a leopard and dare to break ground on Taisui’s head.

“Daddy will be okay, it will be okay!” Ximen Zhanying repeated, just comforting himself, Qi Ning knew Ximen Zhanying’s current state of mind, and gently took her into his arms, and said softly: “God Hou’s martial arts are outstanding, and he is an official of the imperial court, so no one would dare to be detrimental to the God Hou. Zhan Ying, could such a situation have happened before?”

Ximen Zhanying shook his head and said, “Never.”

“Then what special things happened recently?” Qi Ning asked softly, “Has he mentioned anything unusual to you?”

Ximen Zhanying thought for a while, then shook her head and said, “I didn’t mention anything. I’m going to the Shenhou Mansion to find Second Senior Brothers and the others!” Ximen Wuhen suddenly disappeared,

Very unexpected, Ximen Zhanying was worried and confused. At this time, he just wanted to notify the people of Shenhou Mansion as soon as possible and let them find it together.

The Shenhou Mansion has eyeliners everywhere in the capital, and those who mobilize the Shenhou Mansion will naturally find Ximen Wuhen very quickly.

“Don’t worry, wait a second.” Qi Ning said cautiously: “We are not sure that the God Hou is really missing. Notifying the God Hou Mansion at this time is likely to backfire and cause a commotion there.” Dignified, Tantai Zhilin committed suicide over in the East China Sea. If even the God of Ximen suddenly disappeared, then the matter would not be easy.

“I’ll listen to you.” Ximen Zhanying could only rely on Qi Ning at this time, her body became weak, and she snuggled into Qi Ning’s arms.

Qi Ning hugged Ximen Zhanying gently and helped her to sit down on a small chair in the courtyard. The bright moon was in the sky and the surroundings were quiet. Qi Ning poured a glass of water and held it to Ximen Zhanying. Ximen Zhanying Liushen Wuzhu took it. , but didn’t drink, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly said: “Yes, Daddy Daddy has been in a bad mood recently, a few days ago!” After thinking about it, he hesitated.

Qi Ning immediately asked, “Zhan Ying, what happened?”

“Daddy daddy had dinner a few days ago and was painting in the studio when he suddenly fell to the ground.” Ximen Zhanying said, “He looked very painful at the time, his whole body was hot like a fire, I’m going to go find him. Doctor, but was pulled by Daddy, and it took a while for Daddy to recover.”

“Then the goddess has said that he is uncomfortable in the end?”

Ximen Zhanying lowered his head and was silent for a moment before saying: “Dad said he had an internal skill before, but he injured his internal meridian, so he didn’t let me talk to the outside world, he just said that it’s not a big problem, as long as he recuperates for a while It won’t be a big deal. Since my dad said it’s fine, I don’t dare to ask more, and even my dad himself can’t adjust the breath, and ordinary doctors naturally can’t treat it.”

“So it is.” Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “Then why do you say that God Hou has been in a bad mood recently?”

“I don’t know what he’s thinking.” Ximen Zhanying sighed softly: “He rarely goes to the Shenhou Mansion now, and everything about the Shenhou Mansion is handed over to the senior and second senior brothers. Everyone knows in their hearts that Dad is getting older and his energy is not as strong as before, and maybe soon, he will hand over the position of God’s Waiter to Senior Brother.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that there were traces to follow. Before, Xuanyuan Po commanded the eight gangs and sixteen factions to attack Chaowu Ridge, in order to give Xuanyuan Po Liwei a chance to be rewarded. Now Ximen Zhanying said this, it seems that Ximen has no trace. There really is a plan to pass the position.

“Father often sits in the yard, doesn’t say anything, just sits like that.” Ximen Zhanying said with worry: “I went to Shenhou Mansion earlier in the morning, and he sat in the yard, waiting for me to come back, He was still sitting in the same place, and he didn’t even change his posture. He sat for a whole day. I asked him if he had eaten, but he couldn’t answer, he was confused!”

Qi Ning frowned, thinking to himself, did Ximen Shenhou actually start to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease?

If such a shrewd person is really Alzheimer’s, it is really embarrassing.

“Sometimes he is in good spirits, his face is radiant, and his speech is the same as before, and he can’t see anything wrong.” Ximen Zhanying said thoughtfully: “But sometimes his complexion becomes very bad, and the whole person is also No energy, I’m talking beside him, he can’t even hear me clearly!” He couldn’t help grabbing Qi Ning’s arm, worrying: “What the hell are you talking about?”

Qi Ning was also a little surprised, and he didn’t know how to explain it for a while, wondering if it was intermittent Alzheimer’s?

He does know that some elderly people suffer from intermittent Alzheimer’s disease, which is good and bad. When normal, they can talk and laugh, but when they are sick, they are like wandering souls.

“How are things these days?”

“After he had a seizure a few days ago, his spirits have been very poor for the past two days.” Ximen Zhanying said: “This afternoon, I sat in the yard for another afternoon.” Having said this, the circles of his eyes were already a little red.

Qi Ning put his hand on her Xiang’s shoulder and said softly, “Zhan Ying, don’t worry, I’m here for everything.”

Ximen Zhanying nodded lightly, and suddenly looked up behind Qi Ning. Qi Ning was startled and felt that something was wrong, so he turned back immediately. Ink-colored tunic, her hair was uncombed and let loose.

Qi Ning was taken aback. His current martial arts are no longer comparable to those of the past. If there is any change in the surroundings, it is easy to detect it. The phantom under the moon makes people hairy.

“Dad!” Ximen Zhanying stood up immediately, weeping with joy, and ran up to grab the man’s arm: “Dad, where have you been? I can’t find you, but I’m worried to death.”

Qi Ning also turned around, and at this time it was clear that it was Ximen Wuhen, who he and Ximen Zhanying had been looking for for a long time.

“God!” Qi Ning took two steps forward and cupped his hands.

Ximen Wuhen glanced at Qi Ning, then patted Ximen Zhanying and said softly, “It’s alright, Daddy can’t sleep at night, so he went out for a walk in the alley. You’re such an adult, why do you cry when you have something to do? , to be known by others, but not ashamed?” With a gentle smile on his face, he looked very kind.

Qi Ning thought to himself that when he came over, the front door of Xianleju was chained. Could it be that Ximen Wuhen went out for a walk and climbed over the wall to go out, but he couldn’t ask the question.

“Why did you come here so late?” Ximen Wuhen smiled and said, “You and Zhan Ying will get married in half a month. According to the etiquette, you shouldn’t meet at this time.”

Ximen Zhanying was afraid of his father’s misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: “Dad, he has something to look for you.”

“Oh?” Ximen Wuhen said with a smile: “It just so happens that the old man can’t sleep either, you came just in time, Zhan Ying, you go to cook two dishes, I invite Xiaohou Ye to drink two glasses.”

Seeing Ximen Wuhen’s soft expression, Ximen Zhanying felt relieved and gave Qi Ning a wink, Qi Ning nodded slightly, Ximen Zhanying went to the kitchen just now, Qi Ning wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he was right He didn’t stop, seeing that Ximen Wuhen had already gone to the lobby, and immediately followed him. When he got to the lobby, Ximen Wuhen had already lit the oil lamp. Qi Ning stepped forward and glanced at Ximen Wuhen, and saw that although his hair was disheveled, his face was ruddy. , his eyes were sharp, his complexion turned out to be excellent, and he could not see that he was sick at all.
