Chapter 169: Discussion! Banquet!(1/2)
Does the relationship between Nan Zhengyang and Xia Xuanfeng still need to be instigated?
Ning Qian didn't understand what Nan Shujie meant for a while, but soon he understood that the other party might have chosen to do this because he knew about the conflict between Nan Zhengyang and Xia Xuanfeng.
They may be planning to intensify the conflict and make this matter a trigger for a fight between the two parties.
In this way, they can make a profit in the middle.
"So you suspect that Dazhou sent someone to do it?" Ning Qian quickly thought of the most suspicious person.
As Daxia's old enemy, only Dazhou has the suspicion to do this.
Nan Shujie nodded, Da Zhou has this strength and also has this motive.
As for the other big families in the capital, they all depend on Daxia for their survival. When doing such a thing, one must consider the situation of Daxia and cannot be so reckless.
Only people who don’t need to consider the consequences would do this.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ning Qian then asked.
If Da Zhou did this, the situation would be even more complicated.
"Treat others in their own way!"
There was a glimmer of light in Nan Shujie's eyes, and Ning Qian could clearly see that it was an extremely cold killing intent!
……
"Sir, this is this issue's Hidden Dragon List."
Zhou Yunpeng took out a book with a beautiful cover and handed it to Bai Qing.
Bai Qing took the Qianlong list and glanced at it, only to find that a familiar name had fallen off the list.
"Where is Ning Qian?"
Bai Qing asked curiously.
"He hasn't had any great achievements during this period, and with the improvement of many people on the Qianlong Ranking, his ranking has been pushed down." Zhou Yunpeng nodded and said.
"This kid is a genius. He is definitely not as simple as he appears." Bai Qing shook his head and said, "He joined the Zhennan Palace during this period, so he is keeping a low profile."
Zhou Yunpeng nodded, and then said: "This kid is a good material for practicing martial arts. He has no distractions and only works hard for one goal."
When Bai Qing heard this, he nodded in agreement and said: "That's true. If you want to make a breakthrough in martial arts, in addition to talent, it is also important to practice without distractions."
When he said this, he felt a little lonely in his heart. He looked at the countless account books on the table in front of him, shook his head and said: "At least you shouldn't waste time on the desk."
"Young master, you don't have to be like this. Everyone has his own destiny."
Although Zhou Yunpeng also felt that Bai Qing was a waste of talent by wasting time on desk work, he also knew Bai Qing's helplessness.
If it were him, I'm afraid he would have made the same choice.
Therefore, he advised: "Young master's talent is unparalleled, and even if you practice casually, it is not something that ordinary people can match."
"Uncle Zhou, you are good at comforting people."
The loneliness in Bai Qing's heart disappeared quickly, so he made a joke casually.
Then, he got down to business: "How is the situation with the eldest prince?"
Zhou Yunpeng became serious, looked around, came close to Bai Qing, and whispered in Bai Qing's ear: "The eldest prince is contacting the surrounding old troops, and it seems that he plans to do what the prince said."<
/p>
Bai Qing smiled and said: "This is something that the eldest prince has long thought about, and it is not something I instigated."
"The eldest prince has ambitions in his heart, and Xia Xuanfeng also gave him hope." Bai Qing stood up from the desk, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said, "But our emperor's mistake is that he cannot express his hopes with his own hands.
Take it back!"
"Who can bear the blow of dashed hopes?"
"Resistance is inevitable. I just pushed."
Zhou Yunpeng nodded after listening to Bai Qing's explanation and said, "That's true."
"What did Wanjia say?" Bai Qing asked curiously.
When he mentioned Wanjia, his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of murderous intent, and the air in the room seemed to have turned cold.
"The Wan family originally did not intend to join the eldest prince's camp, but they were threatened by the eldest prince and had to join."
When he said this, there was a trace of schadenfreude in Zhou Yunpeng's eyes.
The Wan family has a grudge against Bai Qing. Until now, the death of Bai Qing's father, Bai Shaojun, has not been found out.
Wanjia is the biggest suspect.
He is naturally happy to see the Wan family in misfortune.
Hearing Zhou Yunpeng's words, a smile appeared on Bai Qing's lips.
"Now, Wanjia will have a drink!"
The two laughed loudly in the room.
It’s just that the soundproofing of the room is very good, and people outside didn’t hear it at all.
……
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ning Qian is practicing in his yard.
But for him, all he can do now is try his best to improve his sword and body skills.
Because before all acquired Tianqi is transformed into innate vitality, he cannot proceed with the next step of cultivation.
This process should be done slowly.
Fortunately, Ning Qian already has the innate vitality retained in his body. At this step, he has a greater advantage than other acquired warriors, and the transformation speed will be faster.
Ning Qian didn't find it boring when his realm couldn't be improved, because he could feel that his sword power and movement power were slowly improving.
Seeing the slight increase in proficiency before his eyes, he also felt very happy.
I came to the capital originally because I was worried about Nan Shujie's life and death, but I didn't expect that I just changed places to practice.
Thinking of this, Ning Qian couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.
Things were constantly changing, and he didn't expect that it would end up like this.
Now it seems that the emperor is no longer obsessed with the marriage, which is also a good thing for Nan Shujie.
Just waiting for an opportunity and a reason, they and their group can leave the capital.
"Dong dong dong."
While Ning Qian was comprehending the power of the sword in the backyard of Hongshan Inn, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard.
Ning Qian frowned and opened the door, only to find it was Mei Hezi.
"Miss Mei? Where is the eldest lady?"
Ning Qian was surprised. During this period, Mei Hezi was running around with Nan Shujie. The originally agreed-upon fight did not start, but he did not expect that she would come today.
"Me too." Nan Shujie walked out from behind Mei Hezi.
"Are you two okay today?" Ning Qian stepped aside to invite them in, and asked curiously.
"There is a banquet tonight." Nan Shujie shrugged and said, "I hope you can accompany me."
"Banquet?" Ning Qian subconsciously wanted to refuse because he really didn't like this kind of occasion.
Nan Shujie saw what he was thinking, and continued: "This is a banquet organized by the fourth prince, and basically all the disciples of the big families in the capital will attend this banquet."
She quietly approached Ning Qian and said in a voice that only Ning Qian could hear: "Don't you want to be a flower protector?"
There was an inexplicable fragrance coming from her body, like orchid and musk, which made Ning Qian feel a flash of impulse in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go!"
The purpose of coming to the capital was to protect Nan Shujie. Nan Shujie must not be allowed to go to such a complicated banquet by herself.
A triumphant smile appeared on Nan Shujie's lips. She took a step back, sat on the stone bench in the backyard, and said to Mei Hezi: "Mei Hezi, aren't you planning to fight with Ning Qian? Now there are still
Some time is an opportunity!"
Hearing this, Mei Hezi nodded and said to Ning Qian: "It's been a busy period of time. We almost didn't have time for the fight we originally planned. How about giving it a try now?"
Ning Qian nodded: "That's exactly what I meant!"
Since breaking through to the Houtian realm, he rarely takes action. His hands were already itchy, so he took two steps back, took the sword and opened his stance.
Mei Hezi is thirty-four years old this year. Before he reached the age of thirty, he was also in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.
The strength must not be underestimated!
Moreover, she has a keen sense of masters. Even the masters who hide themselves deeply cannot escape her eyes.
It is precisely because of this beast-like intuition that she became Nan Shujie's guard.
Because for a guard, the ability to detect threats is far more important than the ability to defeat danger!
