Although Han Tianxiao was in charge of the Shenhou Mansion, he could not get angry when facing the angry Ximen Zhanying.

Seeing that Han Tianxiao didn't say anything, Ximen Zhanying was even more angry and rushed forward, swaying his knife to chop. Qi Ning frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"

His voice was stern, and Ximen Zhanying held the big sword in the air, but he was stunned. Qi Ning took the opportunity to reach out and had already snatched the big sword from Ximen Zhanying. Seeing that Ximen Zhanying was about to be angry, he scolded him first: "Zhanying, you are really a fool. The third senior brother is now in charge of the Shenhou Mansion, but you are using a knife to him in public. Are there any rules? The Shenhou Mansion's order stipulates that officials can attack their superiors?"

Ximen Zhanying was stunned again, and suddenly thought that since its establishment, the rules of the Shenhou Mansion have been strict, and such a crime of being committed by the superiors is really not light.

"He is your senior brother and the current head of the Shenhou Mansion." Seeing that Ximen Zhanying was a little hesitant, Qi Ning immediately followed him: "If you have anything, it's okay to say it. It's really outrageous to use a knife in the Shenhou Mansion."

Ximen Zhanying bit her lips and stared at Han Tianxiao behind Qi Ning and said, "Then, who is the urn in the room? Why do you have to secretly burn incense these two days?"

When Qi Ning heard this, his heart was shocked.

Han Tianxiao forced a smile and said, "That is not the ashes of any one person, it is... the ashes of his brothers who died in the line of duty before, I...!"

"You are lying." Ximen Zhanying's body shivered slightly: "How could you put so many people's ashes together? What are you hiding me?" He looked at Qi Ning suddenly and said, "Do you know too?"

"I know...what do you know?" Qi Ning heard that Han Tianxiao had to burn incense on the urn every day, and had guessed a few points and tried his best to calm himself down.

Ximen Zhanying's eyes were already red: "You are all lying to me, I know, you...you...you come together to lie to me...!" He turned around and ran away. Qi Ning said anxiously: "Zhanying." He threw down the knife he had snatched and chased after him.

Ximen Zhanying was extremely fast and soon ran to a yard. Qi Ning followed in and saw the door wide open. Ximen Zhanying rushed into the house. He followed in. The room was quite dark. On a table, there was a black wooden box, and there was an urn inside.

Ximen Zhanying slowly walked to the side of the case, staring at the urn, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Han Tianxiao had already followed him at this time, stood at the door, hesitated for a while, and finally walked in.

"You said my father travels around and will be outside for a long time." Ximen Zhanying whispered: "I have always believed you and thought it was true. But now I suddenly understand why the second senior brother wants to succeed the position of the Divine Marquis. If my father is really alive, how could he leave before leaving office? He will definitely summon everyone and hand over the position of the Divine Marquis to the second senior brother. It's because I'm too stupid, I've always been stupid, so you think it's easy to hide it from me." At this point, tears were already falling like rain, and my delicate body trembled.

Qi Ning saw it, and loved and pity in her heart. She went forward and wanted to hold Ximen Zhanying in her arms. However, Ximen Zhanying had already taken a step back and stared at Qi Ning and said, "Did you know it for a long time? Why... Why have you kept hiding it from me?"

Qi Ning looked sad and didn't say anything. Han Tianxiao finally said, "Little Junior Sister, don't blame the prince. The prince is also afraid that you will be sad, so he didn't tell you the truth."

"Do you want to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Han Tianxiao looked serious and said, "Little Junior Sister, since you want to know, then I will tell you. Not only has the Shenhou Marquis passed away, but the eldest and fourth junior brothers are no longer alive. The second senior brother died in the palace to protect the emperor, and the fifth junior brother has also gone to the northwest. What is the Shenhou Mansion now? Open your eyes and take a look. In addition to me and the Sixth junior brothers, the Shenhou Mansion is still barely supported. The Shenhou Mansion is no longer the Shenhou Mansion that was originally."

Ximen Zhanying was stunned for a moment.

Although many people in the Shenhou Mansion knew about Xuanyuan Po's death, they did not tell Ximen Zhanying. She suddenly heard the news and was stunned for a moment, and then her body shook. Qi Ning knew that it was not good. Before she collapsed, she had already stepped forward and hugged her waist. Seeing that her face was pale, she felt even more pity.

Han Tianxiao still looked solemn and said, "Today's Shenhou Mansion is not what Shenhou wants to see. I can't hold on to this burden either. Shenhou and the eldest brother and the eldest brother are all very sad. I have always regarded Shenhou as my father and regard the eldest brother and the second brother as my elder brother. I also feel very sad, but the grief cannot continue. Shenhou has built Shenhou Mansion into a terrifying yamen for major sects in the world. Could it be that the gangsters of the Jianghu will look down on us because of their death?" He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "As long as there is someone in the Shenhou Mansion, we must continue the will of Shenhou, protect the court, and govern the Jianghu. Junior sister, do you understand what I mean?"

Ximen Zhanying was sad and weak, leaning against Qi Ning, tears couldn't help but flow, murmured: "Dad is gone, I...I'm only one left...!"

Qi Ning hugged Ximen Zhanying and said softly: "You are not alone. You and me, you have the third senior brother, and a large group of family members of the Shenhou Mansion. Zhanying, we will take care of you, and you must be stronger. You have experienced you since you were a child. I just hope that you can be strong no matter when you are." He glanced at Han Tianxiao and said: "The third senior brother said it well. If you know the Shenhou is in the spring, I must hope that you can maintain the Shenhou Mansion well and not let his decades of hard work be wasted."

Han Tianxiao took two steps forward and said, "Little Junior Sister, the prince is right. They are gone, and we are still there. The fifth senior brother will come back eventually. Let's hold on to the Shenhou Mansion together, and don't let the Shenhou disappoint him."

Ximen Zhanying turned around and knelt in front of the desk. Seeing this, Qi Ning also knelt down.

The death of Ximen Wuhen and Xuanyuan Po naturally hit Ximen Zhanying hard. Qi Ning has been comforting Ximen Zhanying, but because of this, Ximen Zhanying temporarily left Zhuo Xian'er's anger in the mansion. Knowing that Qi Ning was about to leave Beijing and went to Liaodong, Ximen Zhanying returned to the mansion, he personally packed up his luggage for Qining.

Starting from Jianye, there are two roads that lead to Liaodong. One is to walk by land, and the other is to enter the East China Sea from the Huai River and go north to the Bohai Sea, and take the water route.

Walking by land, the journey is long, traveling through mountains and rivers, and it is more convenient to pass through the territory of the Han Dynasty. After all, the Huai River is under the control of the Chu State, and the Dongqi Navy has also disappeared. There is naturally no obstacle to the waterway. Moreover, the pirates are mainly in the southeast of the East China Sea, and there are few pirates in the northeast waters.

When Qi Ning traveled to Liaodong, he naturally knew very few people. After he arranged the matter in the mansion, he naturally would not say hello to anyone. Instead, he put on the mask that Zhong Ya gave him and rode alone out of Jianyejing.

In fact, Qi Ning did not fully believe Beitangyu's words. After all, as Longtai said, there were quite doubts.

But he knew very well the role of the Universal Map on Chu State. As long as the Universal Map is really in Jiugong Mountain, even if it is a trap there, he would have to break through and take back the Universal Map.

Qi Ning is still very confident about his current martial arts skills.

Unless there is a great master on Jiugong Mountain, Qi Ning really has no fear.

But there is a great master on Jiugong Mountain, which is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Qining went straight to the northeast, and there was a ferry there. It was not difficult to find a boat to cross the river.

Before leaving, Qi Ning had already figured out the route, crossed the Huai River, entered the former territory of Dongqi, and rushed to Weihai County.

Dongqi has survived in the gap between the two major powers for decades, between Chu and Han, but its trade with the two countries has not been interrupted.

The trade between Qi and Liaodong is very frequent, and it is made up of sea routes. Weihai County and Binjun have large ports. Cargo ships depart from the coastal ports of these two counties and head north to Shizikou in Liaodong. The sea and land are smooth and the distance is not far. Therefore, this trade line is very developed, and the trade between Dongqi and Liaodong has always been very prosperous.

After the Chu army controlled Qi, it did not restrict commercial exchanges. For many merchants in Qi, although Qi was no longer there, their livelihoods still had to continue. Therefore, there were still many cargo ships to Liaodong every day. If you pay some shipments and follow the cargo ship to Liaodong, it would be common.

Qi Ning knew the route well. At dusk that day, he arrived at the Huaihe Ferry and found a small boat to let the boatman take it to the other side.

In fact, after the collapse of the Dongqi Navy, the Huai River was taken into the Chu State's bag, and many people specially flew on the Huai River to transport passers-by to earn some money.

The horse was placed at the bow of the boat. When Qi Ning was about to enter the cabin, he heard a sound from the shore: "Wait a minute." The sound was very familiar, and I couldn't help but look up. I saw a man leading a horse towards the ferry, swaying and wearing a hat. Qi Ning only looked at the twisting waist and walking posture, and then recognized it, sighed, and smiled bitterly: "The Red Woman is really amazing. When I followed here, I couldn't even notice it."

The man on the shore raised his hat and smiled like a flower, saying, "You are gone, and I am tired of the capital. Come out and have me by your side, protect you during the day and warm your bed at night. Isn't it so beautiful that you are so beautiful?"

The boatman was frightened when he heard a great beauty say such a bold thing, so he naturally didn't dare to say another word.

When Qi Ning left Beijing, he naturally told Chi Danmei that Chi Danmei didn't say anything. Who knew that this beautiful girl had already made up her mind and followed her. Since she had followed this place, it was naturally impossible to let her go back.

"There is not enough on the boat." The boatman said, "Only one horse can come up, girl, your horse...!"

"This horse is for you." Chi Danmei threw away the reins of the horse and came straight onto the boat, laughing and said, "Just treat it as the ship's money you paid."
