A Clash of Gods - Chapter 922

[Chapter 912]

After Ximen Wuhen took his seat, he raised his hand to signal Qi Ning to sit down. This old lady was already Qi Ning’s father-in-law. In front of the old husband, he naturally couldn’t sit down as casually as before.

Ximen Wuhen reached out to get the teapot, but Qi Ning took the teapot first and poured tea for Ximen Wuhen.

The oil lamp flickered and shone on Ximen Wuhen’s face. His complexion was rosy. Although there was a slightly tired look between his brows, his eyes were full of energy and deep.

The room was quiet for a while, but after a while, Ximen Wuhen said, “I have always regarded Zhan Ying as a boy since I was a child, and I didn’t let her go to school. Now that I’m older, I’m afraid I can’t even sew the clothes. It’s still these years. It’s because of me that I’m just cramming my feet.”

“Zhan Ying likes to practice martial arts, and she is smart and capable. Ordinary women can’t compare to her.”

Ximen Wuhen smiled slightly, and said warmly, “I’m very relieved that you can look at her like this. When he arrives at your Qi’s house, you should include more in everything. She has a very stubborn temperament sometimes, and she can’t even listen to me. Yes. , When she goes to bed at night, she always kicks the quilt away, and she hasn’t been able to change it since she was a child, you!” Having said this, she suddenly stopped talking, smiled faintly, and just held a cup of tea.

From the words of the old goddess, Qi Ning felt the old gods’ concern for her daughter.

Ximen Wuhen hero has been a hero for half his life, and countless heroes and heroes in the rivers and lakes are timid when they hear his name, but at this time he is thinking about some little things about his daughter, and his love for his father is beyond words.

“Don’t worry, after Zhan Ying passes the door, I will take good care of her, and I will never let her be wronged.” Qi Ning hesitated, and finally said: “It’s just that I’m here tonight because I have something to discuss with the god.”

Ximen Wuhen said “Oh”, Qi Ning hesitated for a while, but still talked about the matter of entering the palace tonight.

Ximen Wuhen did not speak immediately, just held the teacup and looked at the oil lamp, thoughtfully.

“God, there is still half a month before the wedding. If everything goes well, I will hurry and come back!” Qi Ning saw that Ximen Wuhen was silent, but thought that Ximen Wuhen was unhappy.

The wedding date is set, if the wedding date is postponed, although there is a reason for it, but in the end, it is the wrong thing to do on my own side.

Ximen Wuhen shook his head and said, “Since it is the will of the imperial court, you don’t have to be quick, just do the errands well. I will discuss the wedding date with your Qi family.” After a pause, he put down the teacup and stared at Qi Ning asked, “I want to ask you, why did you agree to this matter?”

Qi Ning thought about it for a while before saying, “I am the Minister of Criminal Justice, and I am responsible for such a case.”

“In front of this old man, there is no need to say these high-sounding words.” Ximen Wuhen frowned: “Tantai Zhilin committed suicide, there is no evidence to prove that he did not commit suicide, if he really wants to die, this is not a case, nor is it a case. There is no need for the Ministry of Punishment to get involved.”

Qi Ning said solemnly, “Holy Majesty, do you think Tantai Zhilin may have committed suicide?”

“Whether it’s really suicide, it’s not the most important thing right now. What you care about in your heart should be who will the East Sea Master fall into after Tantai Zhilin’s death?” Ximen Wuhen’s eyes were deep: “The East Sea Master There are 30,000 people, no less than 200 warships, and these sailors have been trained for a long time. If such a force falls into the hands of your opponent, you may have trouble sleeping and sleeping.”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “God, I have nothing to say.”

“Are you worried that if you can’t make the trip this time, the imperial court will send someone else to go, and it is very likely that other forces will infiltrate the East Sea Division?” Ximen Wuhen’s thinking is clear, not as delirious as Ximen Zhanying said before: “You are like this It’s not unreasonable to worry.”

Qi Ning sighed: “The lord of God knows in his heart that after the King of Huainan committed suicide in the imperial mausoleum, there is no one who can control Sima Lan in the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty. .”

The marriage between Jinyi’s Qi family and Ximen’s family is of course because Qi Ning and Ximen Zhanying are in love with each other, but everyone knows that there is another important reason for this.

It is the alliance of the two forces.

Qi Ning knew that in order for Shenhou Mansion to truly become his ally, not only this marriage was needed, but also the two parties needed to treat each other sincerely, especially in front of Ximen Wuhen, there was no need to flicker, after all, this old god was waiting to see you Knowing a lot, it is really difficult to hide your true thoughts in front of him.

“Old Marquis Jindao has not asked about world affairs for all these years, in fact, he has pinned the hopes of the Tantai family on Tantai Zhilin.” Ximen Wuhen said slowly: “Although Tantai Zhixiu is in command of the Xichuan Army, he is talented. Mediocre, it is difficult to become a great thing, and in the entire Tantai family, only Tantai Zhilin can be alone.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and Ximen Wuhen continued: “The East Sea Division has always been under the command of the Jindao Tantai family, and only Jin Daohou and Tantai Zhilin can shock the 30,000 soldiers of the East China Sea. The old marquis of Tantai is so old now that he has no ability to lead the army at all.”

“That’s why Tantai Zhilin’s death will deal a heavy blow to the Tantai family.” Qi Ning said, “The Tantai family can’t find a second person who can replace Tantai Zhilin.”

Ximen Wuhen said indifferently: “The Qinhuai Army is built by your Jinyi Qi family. The old prince of Jinyi and your father are both heroes of the first generation. They brought out the iron-blooded soldiers of my great Chu, but now you, Qi Ning, can’t mobilize the Qinhuai Army. One soldier and one soldier.” Staring at Qi Ning’s eyes: “The East Sea Division has passed through two generations of Jin Daohou and Tantai Zhilin, and now that Tantai Zhilin is dead, the consequences are likely to be the same as what happened to your Qi family. , the East Sea Master will soon erase the traces of the Tantai family.”

Qi Ning was actually aware of this problem. Hearing Ximen Wuhen say it directly, he was still stunned.

“The court never hoped that any army would be branded with another surname.” Ximen Wuhen said sternly: “Any soldier in Dachu is from Dachu, not Qi or Tantai, you can Do you understand this?”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, knowing what Ximen Wuhen meant.

“I wrote yesterday, and today the old marquis of Tantai asked for orders to let the imperial court appoint you to go to the East China Sea, and I am convinced that Tantai Zhilin did not die by suicide. There must be another reason for his death?” Ximen Wuhen stared into Qi Ning’s eyes: “Why did he fall in love with you and ask you to investigate this matter?”

Qi Ning knew that there was something strange in this, and had been trying to figure out Tantai Huang’s intentions. At this time, listening to Ximen Wuhen’s inquiry, he looked solemn and said, “Please also ask the waiter for guidance.”

Ximen Wuhen smiled and said, “Tantai Huang needs time.”

“time?”

“A country can’t be without a ruler for a day, and an army can’t be without a leader for a day.” Ximen Wuhen said: “After your father passed away, the imperial court immediately ordered Yue Huanshan to take over the military power, and sent several generals to stability. The situation, those people are not the direct line of your Jinyi Qi family, but now they are all serving in the Qinhuai Army.”

Qi Ning responded quickly, and immediately said: “The goddess is saying that if Tantai Zhilin really committed suicide, then the imperial court will immediately issue an order to appoint a new navy governor?”

“The Northern Expedition is imminent, the East China Sea cannot be chaotic, and the dragons have no leader. Of course, a new governor must be appointed to stabilize the situation.” Ximen Wuhen calmly said: “The Tantai family has stayed in the East China Sea for too long. Given such an opportunity, the court of course hopes that the East China Sea If the teacher has a new face, the emperor will think so, and Sima Lan will definitely make the emperor think so.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, but at this moment, he saw that Ximen Zhanying had come in from outside the door, holding a tray with dishes and dishes.

A plate of peanuts, a plate of boiled beef, scrambled eggs, and a pot of wine are not rich, but they are fried in the middle of the night.

Ximen Zhanying put the wine and food on the table, then turned his head and said, “Dad, the wine and food are ready.”

Ximen Wuhen got up, walked to the table, beckoned Qi Ning over, Qi Ning took a look and said with a smile, “Zhan Ying’s craftsmanship looks good, I only know that you can use a knife, but I don’t know that you can also use a pot. shovel!”

Ximen Zhanying blushed and glared at Qi Ning, but it was not easy to stay, and said to Ximen Wuhen: “Dad, you drink less.” He glanced at Qi Ning again, and couldn’t help saying: “You also have less. Have a drink.” As soon as he twisted his waist, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com quickly stepped back.

Ximen Wuhen glanced at Qi Ning, smiled faintly, motioned for Qi Ning to sit down, Qi Ning stood and poured wine for Ximen Wuhen, then sat down opposite him and asked, “What does the waiter of God mean, Dan? The old Marquis of Tai insisted that Tantai Zhilin’s death had another reason, to buy time and prevent the imperial court from immediately appointing the governor?”

“If Tantai Zhilin’s death is really strange, then it will naturally have to be investigated from the East Sea Division.” Ximen Wuhen said: “Until the real reason for Tantai Zhilin’s death is not clear, the court will naturally not rush it. Appointing a new governor, so even if Tantai Zhilin really committed suicide, Tantai Huang will insist that Tantai Zhilin died as a mystery.”

“With time, the Golden Swordsman can make time for deployment.” Qi Ning thought thoughtfully: “Even if the Tantai family can’t continue to control the Donghai Division, they will never let the Donghai Division fall into the enemy’s side. hand?”

“Hostile?” Ximen Wuhen smiled and said, “Who do you think the Tantai family’s rival is? Is it your Jinyi Qi family or the Sima family?” He shook his head and said, “As for the Tantai family, whether it’s your Qi family or the Sima family? The Sima family is neither their friend nor their enemy, at least he is not currently involved in your fight.”

Qi Ning was startled, but immediately knew what Ximen Wuhen said, which made a lot of sense. When the Sima family fought with the King of Huainan, the Tantai family was not involved. Today, the Jinyi Qi family and the Sima family are tit-for-tat, and the Tantai family is still low-key. No, this is the attitude of staying out of the way.

No one can fully guess what Tantai Old Marquis intends to do, but at least so far, the Tantai family is neither an enemy of any force nor a friend of any force.

“What the Tantai family has to do is to safeguard the Tantai family’s own interests.” Ximen Wuhen stared at Qi Ning’s eyes and said word by word, “To put it bluntly, the Tantai family must survive in the court! “nt
