As the setting sun descended on the horizon, the convoy arrived at Zizhou. Torches illuminated the city walls, and the gates stood open, but the official road leading in and out of the city was deserted. Ning Xi, with a small squad, waited near the post station outside the city gate. Search: \(End\Book\God\Station\) to read high-quality literature for free.

Due to the assassination attempt, martial law was now in effect in Zizhou.

"The martial law in Zizhou is an excuse," Ning Xi said, after being summoned by Ning Yi, getting into the carriage, and exchanging pleasantries.

Zizhou had only recently surrendered, and it had been a gathering place for many opponents of the Huaxia Army. After the initial household registration was completed, Ning Ji's assassination attempt occurred. Now, the military general in charge of Zizhou's security and defense consulted with Chen Tuozi and others and initiated a round of martial law and investigation in Zizhou.

"When the army entered the city, they did not make things difficult for the people. Even those who had old ties with us, or whose names were on the list, were allowed to leave as they pleased. Now that the registration time has been given, and the departure time has been given, those who still refuse to leave or register are being investigated. From yesterday morning to this afternoon, six groups of ruthless thugs who had blood debts with the Huaxia Army were caught hiding in the city. Like cornered dogs, they fought back desperately, and we had a few casualties."

The carriage moved forward, and Ning Xi calmly told her father about the situation in the city, then said, "My brother's injuries are not serious. He took some punches and kicks from the assassins, and deliberately took a sword strike on his arm, losing some blood, but he will recover after a few days of rest. I didn't tell him you were coming. He's probably already asleep. This incident was due to my oversight…"

Looking at the blurred lights of the streets through the shaking of the carriage window, Ning Yi shook his head and patted Ning Xi's shoulder. "I know about the situation here. You've done well. Don't blame yourself. Back in the capital, I couldn't avoid many assassination attempts. They always managed to get close. Things in this world can't always go your way."

Ning Xi lowered her head, her fists pressed against her knees, and remained silent for a long time. Ning Yi said, "I heard that Master Yan sacrificed himself in the assassination."

Ning Xi nodded. Ning Yi sighed, "Master Yan Biao used to have a reputation in the Jianghu as 'Poison Doctor,' but he was actually a very good person. For the past year or so, I entrusted him with taking care of Lao Er, and he never hesitated. From now on, he is an benefactor of our family, and you must remember that. Master Yan's wife passed away early, and he has an adopted daughter in He Deng, who is probably in her early teens this year...she is studying in school, and our family should take care of her in the future."

Ning Yi spoke of these things, and Ning Xi nodded and took note of each one. Although the curfew in Zizhou had already begun, and only soldiers were seen walking on the streets, all kinds of voices could still be heard from the houses around the road. Ning Yi looked at these, chatted with Ning Xi for a few more words, and then said, "I heard from Master Nie that Lao Er's skills should have prevented him from being captured. He put himself in danger deliberately, is that right?"

Ning Xi hesitated slightly, and shook her head. "...I wasn't at the scene at the time, so it's hard to judge. But the assassination happened suddenly, and the situation was chaotic. Master Yan was anxious and stood in front of Er Di and died. Er Di is young, and hasn't experienced many things like this, so it's not surprising that he reacted slowly."

For a long time, Ning Xi had known that her father cared about his family. Regarding this sudden assassination, which ended dramatically, and some unusual things displayed in the assassination, Ning Xi intentionally defended her brother, but saw her father's gaze drifting out of the carriage window, and said, "News came from Jiangnan that the operation to rescue the Si family failed. I'm afraid we can't persuade Jiange."

Unexpectedly, her father's words suddenly jumped to this matter, Ning Xi was slightly stunned. In the past, she only knew that the Jurchens and the Huaxia Army were competing in Jiange, but she had never heard of things like Si Zhongxian's family. At this time, she was stunned: "...Huh?"

Ning Yi smiled: "I'll tell you the details later, let's go see Lao Er first."

This sentence set the tone, and Ning Xi didn't ask any more questions. Afterwards, Ning Yi asked him about his recent life and work, whether he had quarreled with Min Chuyi, and so on. Ning Xi was almost eighteen years old, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Ning Yi, but she inherited her mother Su Tan'er's genes and was even more handsome. Ning Yi was nearly forty years old, but did not have the habit of growing a beard that was popular at this time, only a shallow mustache. Sometimes he didn't groom it, and the beard on his lips and chin was a little thicker, but he didn't look old, just stern.

Before long, the convoy stopped on the road in front of the medical center. Ning Yi, led by Ning Xi, went inside. The courtyard of the medical center was relatively quiet, and there were not many lights. Moonlight shone down from the top of the ginkgo tree in the courtyard. Ning Yi waved his hand to dismiss the crowd and pushed open the door. Ning Ji, wrapped in bandages, was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

He was sleeping soundly, and there was no trace of the shadow of being assassinated or killing someone. Ning Yi stood at the door and watched for a long time.

***************

Everyone has their own good fortune, their own cultivation.

Looking back from the future, in September and October of the eleventh year of Wu Jianshuo, the Jurchens had already conquered almost the entire Wu Dynasty. In the southwest, the crucial battle that would determine the fate of the world was about to begin, and the eyes of the world were focused on this side.

This year, thirteen-year-old Ning Ji was at the center of this storm, and in his heart, there was a change no less than this storm gathering and brewing. Perhaps for the whole world, his change was insignificant, but for himself, it certainly had irreplaceable meaning.

Perhaps everyone in this world will go to further places through the same path.

Compared to the days when he followed the medical team around, the ten days after arriving in Zizhou were very peaceful for Ning Ji.

The medical clinic requisitioned by the medical team was located near the military camp in the west of the city. After a little renovation, it was still open to the public, and in many cases, it even provided free medical care to local residents, without charging much money or goods except for medicines. Ning Ji followed the people in the medical team, taking care of the medicines, and practicing martial arts when he had nothing to do. There were also warriors in the medical team who could give him some guidance.

His sister-in-law Min Chuyi came to see him every two days to collect the clothes that needed to be washed or mended - Ning Ji had already learned to do these things, and had been doing it himself in the medical team for more than a year, but Min Chuyi would forcibly snatch away the dirty clothes every time she came. Ning Ji couldn't beat her, so he had to tidy up his things every morning. The two of them fought like this, and were happy about it. Although they were called uncle and sister-in-law, their relationship was actually like siblings.

His brother took him out to dinner twice, and talked about the recent development of the situation. After receiving the various towns in the north of Sichuan, the Huaxia Army soldiers gathered towards Zizhou from different directions quickly broke through 20,000, then broke through 25,000, approaching 30,000. The logistics and engineering teams transferred from various places were also on duty in the shortest time, building a line of defense at the key points north of Zizhou. Simultaneously with the arrival of a large number of Huaxia Army members, the original residents of Zizhou quickly moved out. Because of this, although the Huaxia Army controlled the overall situation, many details in the past half month were full of chaotic atmosphere in Zizhou City.

Such an atmosphere did not spread to Ning Ji. His brother took good care of him, and many dangers were prevented early on. Life in the medical clinic was going according to plan, like a quiet corner in Zizhou City that no one noticed. There was a huge ginkgo tree in the courtyard of the medical clinic, and I don't know how many years it had survived. The branches and leaves were lush and dignified. It was September, the white fruits on the ginkgo tree were ripe, and Ning Ji, under the guidance of the military doctors, beat down the fruits and collected them for medicinal use.

Warm and pleasant sunlight often fell from the leaves of this ginkgo tree, and Ning Ji squatted under the tree, and began to stare blankly.

This was the age when young people gradually learned to think about things, and many questions had already fermented in his heart. Of course, although the outside world was cruel, stupid, and unreasonable, there was always the warmth of his family around Ning Ji. He would certainly complain to his brother, but his entire mood would naturally not be too extreme.

Because of this, after he became an adult, no matter how many times he recalled it, the decision he made this year at the age of thirteen was not formed in extremely distorted thinking. In a sense, it even seemed like a well-thought-out result.

On September 22nd, the edge of the assassination extended to his eyes.

In the courtyard with the golden ginkgo tree, an assassin threw a steel knife hysterically, and Yan Biao, Master Yan, almost subconsciously stood in front of him - this was an overreaction, because Ning Ji at the time was extremely calm, and it was not too difficult to dodge the steel knife, but just before he launched a counterattack, Master Yan's back appeared in front of him, the blade pierced through his heart, and blood splattered on Ning Ji's face.

At this time, someone was setting fires in the distance, creating chaos, and a more skilled assassin rushed over with a ferocious face, his eyes passing over Master Yan's back, and Ning Ji could almost see the saliva in his mouth.

There was huge anger in his heart: You are obviously bad people, why are you acting so angry!

In that moment, he made a decision.

The other party rushed over, Ning Ji staggered back. After a few exchanges, Ning Ji was captured by the other party.

Being able to catch Ning Yi's second son, the three assassins on the scene were surprised and overjoyed. They carried Ning Ji away, and also tied Ning Ji's hands with cowhide ropes. The long and short knives on his body were naturally taken away. The nine people were convinced that they had done a great thing. The next step was to quickly escape before the Huaxia Army formed a large encirclement. At this time, Ning Ji suddenly launched an attack.

For a child whose body has not fully grown, the ideal weapons do not include knives. Relatively speaking, weapons such as swords and daggers should point, cut, poke, and stab, focusing on attacking the key points with the least amount of force, which are more suitable for children to use. Ning Ji has loved knives since he was a child, and the long and short knives made him feel handsome, but the real trump card around him was actually the third knife in his sleeve.

It was just a short knife that was not the size of a palm, but it was a weapon that Hong Ti, Xigua, Ning Yi and others racking their brains to teach him to use for self-defense. As Ning Yi's child, his life had its own value. Although he would encounter risks in the future, as long as he didn't die in the first moment, there were many enemies who were willing to keep him alive in a short time, after all, this was a key bargaining chip.

What Ning Ji had been practicing hard since he was a child was this short knife hidden in his sleeve and palm. This included not only the mastery of martial arts, but also the thinking of magic tricks. At the age of thirteen, Ning Ji used this knife, from his sleeve to his palm, and even waved the knife in front of the other party, and the other party could hardly notice it. Its greatest use was to cut the rope after being caught.

A moment after the nine assassins gathered outside Zizhou City, while still on high alert for the Huaxia Army's pursuers, they never imagined that the greatest danger would be the child they had brought over. The tall man carrying Ning Ji was a giant nearly two meters tall. He grinned and laughed. The next moment, the young man's palm on his shoulder turned, and he slit the other party's throat.

The person was still standing, blood gushing out. Ning Ji somersaulted to the ground, and threw the dagger towards the left eye of a woman on the opposite side. The woman's husband was standing next to her. The next moment, there was a scream, and a piece of blood light on her face. Her left eye was destroyed by the blade, and the flying knife had passed her cheek, but she was not dead. As soon as Ning Ji landed, he picked up a steel knife and plunged into the forest.

Everyone chased after him. Ning Ji moved quickly, and took everyone in a small circle, rushing back to the original place. At that time, the couple was still dealing with their injuries. Ning Ji rushed out from behind, and chopped down on the belly of the injured woman with all his strength. The husband blocked Ning Ji in a hurry. Ning Ji took advantage of the situation to roll to the ground, and launched the most tricky ground-lying knife towards the woman.

The ground-lying knife slashed at the feet and legs, and it was difficult to defend against. In addition, Ning Ji was small, and the blade was even more fierce. The injured woman was also lying on the ground, and Ning Ji's blade just happened to cover the other party. The woman's husband was still standing, and his weapons could not block it, and he could not retreat - he probably could not believe that a pampered child could be so ruthless - in the blink of an eye, he was stabbed in both legs, and Ning Ji rolled past his legs, directly severing the Achilles tendons.

How could they have understood that although Ning Yi cared about the psychological growth of the children in many things, in such a harsh war environment, no one dared to hold back when it came to fighting and self-preservation. The people who taught Ning Ji martial arts since he was a child were either experts like Hong Ti and Xigua who had experienced battles, or ruthless characters like Du Sha, or evil masters like Chen Tuozi, who used the enemy's weaknesses to the extreme. Relatively speaking, it seemed that only Chen Fan, who occasionally guided Ning Ji, could bring him a bit of heroic spirit.

As for Ning Yi, he could only explain these methods one by one with military tactics: Casting off a cicada's skin, waiting for work, robbing a burning house, attacking the east and striking the west, besieging Wei to rescue Zhao... and so on.

Ning Ji had long been familiar with these military tactics, but this was the first time he had encountered so many enemies, and he finally used them. He cut the Achilles tendons of the couple, but did not kill them. Before the others rushed back, he quickly escaped, ambushing stragglers in the forest.

In this way, when reinforcements arrived not long after, Ning Ji had left three more enemies in the forest. The other three, who may have been local snakes or even well-known green forest people in Zizhou, had been killed and abandoned their companions to escape for their lives.

Most of the reinforcements who came from Zizhou were also old fritters in the Jianghu. Seeing that Ning Ji was injured but not seriously injured, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But on the other hand, when they saw the entire battle situation, and reviewed it slightly, everyone was secretly shocked by Ning Ji's methods. Someone mentioned it to Ning Xi. Although Ning Xi felt that her brother was fine, she thought after thinking that it would be better to let her father make a judgment.

As for Ning Ji, after this incident, he seemed to have let go of his worries. After seeing the dead Master Yan, he concentrated on recuperating and sleeping soundly. Many things in his heart, at least temporarily, had found a direction.

*************

Seeming to feel something, he woke up subconsciously in his sleep, and turned his head to look aside. His father was sitting by the bed, looking at him by the faint moonlight.

"Dad, you're here." Ning Ji didn't seem to feel the bandages on his body, and sat up happily.

Ning Yi quickly helped him: "Don't be too fast, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, I slept for a long time. When did you come, Dad?"

"Not long ago, I heard you were in trouble, so I rushed over in a hurry, but I didn't tell your mother, I was afraid she would worry."

"I'm fine, those guys were all killed by me. It's a pity Master Yan died."

Ning Ji said, and was about to lift the quilt and get down. Seeing that he had such vitality, Ning Yi did not stop him. Ning Ji got out of bed, babbling that he had slept for too long and couldn't sleep anymore. Ning Yi ordered the people outside to prepare some porridge and rice, and he took a coat and put it on Ning Ji, and walked out with him. The moonlight in the yard was slightly cool, and there were already warm yellow lights. The others had retreated. Ning Ji walked slowly under the eaves, gesticulating to Ning Yi how he repelled those enemies.

"I heard, Xiao Ji, that you seemed to be deliberately caught by them."

At some point, Ning Yi asked with a smile. Ning Ji was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he nodded: "...Yeah."

"Why? Because of Master Yan?"

"Master Yan died..." Ning Ji repeated this, but it was not a definite statement.

"Over the years, there have been other people who have died in front of us. In such a world, I don't know if there are any who haven't seen dead people. Why did you risk your life because Master Yan died?"

Ning Ji was silent for a moment: "...When Master Yan died, I suddenly thought... If they ran away separately, maybe we would never catch them again. Dad, I want to avenge Master Yan, but it's not just because of Master Yan."

The boy was honest and frank, and although his tone was not fast, he was not too confused. Ning Yi said, "Then why?"

"Dad, I've been living very peacefully in the medical clinic these days."

"Your brother blocked a lot of things for you."

"But the outside is quite chaotic, and many people want to kill our family. Dad, there are many people rushing to the front, why should I hide here?"

The boy said here, Ning Yi nodded, expressing understanding, only to hear Ning Ji say: "Dad, you used to say that you dare to fight with others, so you are equal to everyone. Our Huaxia Army also dares to fight with others, so even the Jurchens can't beat us. Dad, I also want to become as powerful as you, Uncle Chen Fan, Aunt Hong, Aunt Gua."

"..." Ning Yi was silent.

"At the time when Master Yan died, that person rushed over with open teeth and claws, and they also risked their lives. They came to me, and at that time I suddenly felt that if I continued to hide behind, I would never have the opportunity to become a powerful person."

"...Dad, I will use all my strength and kill them."
