The Liao dogs deceive the Wu Dynasty, sneaking into the Central Plains to assassinate and kill. Search: 完 本 神 站 to read quality literature for free. Nowadays, the only thing in Jiangning that can be associated with this statement is the assassination that happened at Zhuji a few days ago. In order to protect the reputation of Zhuji's second branch, Ning Yi has been stirring things up through Lu Agui's connections these days, claiming it to be incitement. He himself has been paying attention to the whereabouts of the two who escaped. There's no further news yet, but according to these three people, something new seems to have developed last night.

Sitting here patiently listening for a while, the three of them mostly talked about how powerful the Liao leader was, how fast that slash was, and how to dodge it. Xiao Chan also listened for a few sentences and whispered to Ning Yi, "Young Master, are they talking about Grandpa Qin's incident?" Ning Yi nodded slightly and then walked towards their table: "Greetings, gentlemen."

The three were slightly stunned to see a weak scholar approaching. Ning Yi said, "Just now, I heard you talking about the Liao people's affairs, which seems to be related to the assassination incident a few days ago. I've also heard about this matter, but I don't know what happened yesterday. The three heroes are obviously involved. As the saying goes, a true hero serves the country and the people. I've always admired heroes like you, so I'd like to hear about what happened last night. I hope you can enlighten me."

After saying these words, he added, "Oh, I am Ning Liheng, and I have also practiced some kung fu. People in the martial world call me 'Blood Hand Human Butcher'. Nice to meet you."

Ning Yi's impromptu martial arts speech was naturally fluent, and Xiao Chan in the back admired him greatly. But when he said "Blood Hand Human Butcher," her expression twitched slightly. The little maid had always thought that this was the young master gilding his own face, a shameless self-proclaimed title. It didn't matter if he flaunted it at home; no one cared, and everyone even cooperated. But when she saw him so "shamelessly" fooling these martial artists, she was immediately a little overwhelmed.

The three martial artists had similar emotions. At first, they thought Ning Yi was respectful, an enthusiastic talent who loved his country. But when he suddenly said that people called him "Blood Hand Human Butcher," they exchanged surprised glances and could only reply with "Long time no see," "Nice to meet you," and the like.

"I am Xiong Mo."

"I am Lin Jinquan."

"I am Zhao Xing."

The people didn't report any impressive nicknames, perhaps feeling that it would lower their status to be placed alongside a second-rate nickname like "Blood Hand Human Butcher."

Aside from the abrupt nickname, Ning Yi was actually quite on point in other aspects. He ordered the best and most expensive breakfast at the restaurant and had Xiao Chan pay for it. Then he listened to the three men talk about what had happened last night.

The story of the Liao people's assassination in Jiangning has now been widely publicized by Ning Yi. In addition to enhancing the popularity of Jin'er's shop, it has also greatly stirred up the patriotic hearts of a group of martial artists. In the past few days, the government has been searching the city for the two escaped Liao assassins and has also issued a reward of nearly a thousand taels of silver. A group of martial artists have also been contacting each other, for money, for fame, and naturally, for a surge of patriotism, wanting to capture the two Liao people. Ning Yi also knows about this.

While everyone was searching the entire city, the tragic young master, whose lower body had been almost stabbed into a sieve by the fierce Jin'er with her hairpin, barely managed to save his life. This was also because Jin'er was afraid to kill after all, and subconsciously didn't dare to continue messing around when she stabbed enough.

No one knew what kind of detention measures the Jiangning government had arranged, but last night, the detention point was infiltrated. This time, there were more than just the two who had escaped. A total of four people rescued the young master. A scuffle broke out in the middle, but they finally couldn't stop these four powerful guys.

Ning Yi was not aware of this matter, but the martial artists who had been paying attention received the news immediately and went out of the city to intercept them, with the cooperation of the government soldiers. However, the Liao people were very fast and had extremely high martial arts skills. This disorganized group of martial artists and yamen constables could not accurately form an encirclement. They chased them all the way through the mountains and forests near Jiangning. Several large and small fights occurred along the way, but in the end, only one of them was left behind, and the other three escaped with the half-dead young master.

Ning Yi also felt a little surprised that such a thing could happen on his own territory in Jiangning. But according to these three men, the one with the highest martial arts skills among the escapees was not the thin, tall man or the burly man who seemed to have lost one eye and had been wrapping half of his face with bandages. There was another person whose skills were truly high and terrifying. This person was sturdy and dark, with scars all over his body. He looked almost like a ferocious demon. It was mainly because this person cut a bloody path that they were able to escape. Of course, the skills of the thin, tall man and the one-eyed burly man were also not to be underestimated. Once this group made contact, they knew that they might be the most elite type of soldiers who survived the battles in Liao.

"We used to practice martial arts and thought we had some skills, but that scarred man is truly frightening to think about. Last night, when he slashed down with his knife, I blocked with all my strength, but I was knocked several meters away with one blow. My right shoulder was torn open, and I probably won't be able to hold anything for a long time. I hit my back, and it still hurts now. It was because they were in a hurry to escape, otherwise, if he had given me another blow, I'm afraid my life would have been left there."

Zhao Xing, who was injured, said this. Xiong Mo thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this person has also practiced true superior profound arts." Zhao Jinquan also nodded, and Ning Yi echoed, "In any case, your chivalrous actions are truly admirable."

After this conversation, Ning Yi roughly understood the outline of the whole incident. In addition to the five assassins, there were actually two other masters who did not follow along. And even more worrying was that these outsiders were able to sneak into the young master's detention point. I'm afraid this is not just a little bit of power. These three are probably not considered truly powerful martial artists. In Lu Hongti's eyes, they are probably just ordinary cannon fodder. However, the black demon with scars all over his body that they mentioned should be a real master. Being able to split a martial artist like this with one knife clearly can only be done with superior internal force. He just didn't know who was higher or lower compared to Lu Hongti.

He also had some questions swirling in his mind at this time. After these martial artists left, he asked Xiao Chan to chase after them and send them some food boxes and silver notes as gifts. Although it is said that poor scholars pursue literary success and rich people pursue martial arts, those who really lick blood on the edge of the knife in the martial world probably don't live too well. Now that everyone is standing on the same boat once by chance, Ning Yi is very willing to give some help within his power. Xiao Chan spoke eloquently and it took a long time for the three martial artists to accept the things.

In the afternoon of that day, after Ning Yi finished his studies, he prepared to go to Lu Agui to ask about what happened last night. He wasn't really that enthusiastic about patriotism, but after all, he stopped the assassin who was going to assassinate Qin Lao. Even if the possibility of revenge was small, he was still involved. It would be better to understand as much as possible. However, when he went to the Prince Consort's mansion in the afternoon, Lu Agui was not there, and Kang Xian was not in the mansion either. So he had to turn back and ask again in a few days. The matter was not urgent.

As he walked through several streets back to the Su Mansion, he did not realize that a figure was following him from a distance. This was Chen Feng, a constable from the Jiangning government office. He looked back at the direction of the Prince Consort's mansion with some doubt and then followed again.

After turning two more streets, Chen Feng, who was following, suddenly felt a glimpse of being watched. He suddenly reacted, and a hand slapped his shoulder. Chen Feng waved his hand to block, and the two exchanged a few moves at the street corner. Then, when he took a closer look, he relaxed. This person was also known to Chen Feng.

The man who caught Chen Feng on the street was Lu Agui, the steward in the Prince Consort's mansion. Ning Yi was returning from the Prince Consort's mansion, and he was preparing to return to the Prince Consort's mansion. He accidentally saw Ning Yi and originally wanted to say hello, but who knew that he would find a tail following Ning Yi. Coincidentally, he also knew this tail, so he gave up the idea of saying hello and intercepted the tail.

"Constable Chen, you've been quite idle recently. You're not going to catch those vicious and evil bandits, but you're playing this tracking game. As far as I know, the gentleman in front is a law-abiding citizen. He even prevented a Liao assassination a few days ago. What did he do wrong?"

Chen Feng frowned, "Whether or not he committed a crime is up to the yamen to decide, not you and me. I know he seems to have some relationship with you. Lu Agui, are you going to interfere?"

"It's not about interfering, but Duke Ming is close friends with him. I want to know what the trouble is?"

"...After so long, you have really become that Prince Consort's lackey..."

"Duke Ming saved my life, I should have died for him... In the past, you could say that it was not worth it for me to work for a Prince Consort who had no achievements, but now you shouldn't think so. This Young Master Ning is not that simple. The grace he has given to the people of the world recently is beyond your imagination. He also saved Qin Siyuan recently. If there is any trouble, someone will go to great lengths to protect him. And I guarantee that he is a good person. How about it, what trouble is it? Let's talk about it nearby? And see if the Prince Consort's mansion can take it for him?"

"The people of the world? Grace?" A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. "I know he has some talent in Jiangning only. He is too young to deserve your praise like this, right?"

Lu Agui thought for a while, then smiled strangely, "It's beyond your imagination... How about it? Let's find a place to have a cup of tea and catch up?"

After a long silence, Chen Feng looked at him and finally opened his mouth: "...Okay."

The sky darkened, and then a bright waxing moon rose.

Prince Consort's mansion.

Zhou Pei had already eaten dinner and had just come out of the Imperial Grandmother's place. She was walking through the brightly lit courtyard, preparing to go to Prince Consort Grandpa's place as usual to ask for some knowledge.

She spends more than half of her life in this Prince Consort's mansion. No matter where she goes, the servants and guards will naturally not stop her. At this time, when she went outside Prince Consort Grandpa's study, she heard voices coming from inside.

"Constable? Why are the constables staring at Liheng?" This was Prince Consort Grandpa's voice. "Did something happen?"

Occasionally, she could hear Prince Consort Grandpa say some big things here, perhaps they were also secrets. Occasionally, Zhou Pei would listen, and occasionally, based on the idea that eavesdropping was not good, she would turn around and leave. But today, she still plans to listen for a while, so she squatted down under the eaves...
