Duan Canghai was stunned and frowned and asked, "Mr. Marquis, you suddenly asked if the assassin appeared and had something to do with the second master of Beigong?"

"The Second Master Beigong?" Yang Ning was also stunned. Duan Canghai called Beigong Liancheng "The Second Master", which was very unusual. He asked anxiously: "You really know Beigong Liancheng. Who is he? I heard that he has a connection with our Marquis' Mansion. What's going on?"

Chi Danmei once said that Beigong Liancheng was from the Jinyi Hou Qi family, and Yang Ning still doesn’t understand what this sentence means.

Duan Canghai looked around and then said softly: "Mr. Marquis, you shouldn't call the second master Beigong directly. He is your second grandfather!"

"Two and two grandfather?" Yang Ning was shocked.

Duan Canghai explained: "The old marquis has four brothers. You have met the third marquis. The fourth marquis became a monk for the old marquis and now he practices Buddhism in Daguangming Temple. The second marquis of Beigong ranks second among the four brothers."

Only then did Yang Ning realize that Beigong Liancheng, who had entered the realm of the great master of swordsmanship, was actually the second elder of the Qi family.

But he frowned and said in confusion: "No, our surname is Qi, Beigong Liancheng has more surnames. Since he is a brother to his grandfather, how can he have different surnames in the same clan?"

Duan Canghai sighed and said, "This is a grudge from the older generation. In fact, I don't know very clearly. When the old marquis was still alive, no one in the mansion dared to mention the second master of Beigong." Then his eyes shone brightly and he asked, "Mr. Marquis, when you mention the second master of Beigong, is he still alive?"

He stared at Yang Ning's eyes with anticipation in his eyes.

"Living?" Yang Ningqi said: "Do you think he is no longer alive?"

Duan Canghai smiled bitterly and said, "The Marquis of Marquis don't know anything. When you were born, the Second Master Beigong had no news. The Old Master had sent people to search everywhere, but there was no news about the Second Master Beigong. When the Old Master passed away, it was logical that if the Second Master Beigong was alive, he would definitely come back to pay his respects, but the Second Master Beigong did not show up that time."

Yang Ning frowned slightly, thinking that since he was a brother, the elder brother was his father, and the old marquis passed away, Beigong Liancheng received news that he would never even not even have his own brother's funeral. In this era, he paid great attention to this kind of human etiquette. If Beigong Liancheng was alive but did not attend, it would be contrary to the etiquette.

"Since then, the mansion has suspected that the Second Master Beigong may have passed away." Duan Canghai sighed: "After so many years, the Second Master Beigong has never come back, but there is no news about him in the world. When the general was alive, he sent people to search for it, but it was all left alone. This time, the Second Master Beigong still did not show up. If nothing unexpected happens, he might have gone to the immortal."

Yang Ning nodded slightly and then realized.

"Mr. Marquis, I have a saying, I don't know if I should ask." Duan Canghai hesitated, but asked: "The Marquis' martial arts of absorbing people's internal strength are taught by Master Beigong?"

Yang Ning thought to himself that you have always suspected that your martial arts were taught by Beigong Liancheng.

His magical skills were obtained by accident from the hands of the Mu God Lord in Jiutianlou. The Twist naturally cannot be explained to Duan Canghai, otherwise even his true identity would be exposed.

"The one who taught me martial arts is a master." Yang Ning had already thought of the words and pretended to be mysterious: "He told me not to tell others that I should trust my words, so I naturally cannot reveal them."

Duan Canghai nodded and said, "What the Marquis said is."

Yang Ning was thinking at this time that according to Duan Canghai, could Beigong Liancheng really pass away? Since that is the case, is Chi Danmei's trip to Chu State just to inquire about the life and death of Beigong Liancheng?

Chi Danmei had seen Yang Ning's swordsmanship and obviously thought that Beigong Liancheng was still alive, but even Yang Ning didn't know whether Beigong Liancheng was dead or alive.

So is the stack of sword pictures in the old house also left behind by Beigong Liancheng?

If Beigong Liancheng is dead, then who is the ethereal voice tonight? That person is obviously a top expert, why should he rescue himself?

Yang Ning was full of doubt. The two got off the pleasure boat and boarded the small flower boat, but did not return to the pearl boat. It was already dark and they went ashore from the sky.

When they returned to the place where they boarded the boat, the two followers were still waiting there, both sitting under the tree. When they saw Yang Ning coming back, they hurriedly got up and the carriage was also parked aside.

Yang Ning got on the carriage and was in a hurry. Although the night ban in the capital had been cancelled, it was already past midnight and the streets and alleys were deserted.

After passing through two streets, Yang Ning was still wondering why Beigong Liancheng was of the same clan and different surname as the Qiqi family. Suddenly, a strange scream sounded. Yang Ning opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that he was walking on an empty street, deserted and quiet. Duan Canghai had already urged his horse to the window with a serious expression: "Marty, have you heard the sound?"

Yang Ning nodded slightly and frowned, "What's that sound?"

"Come from the front!" Duan Canghai pointed forward, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Someone!"

Yang Ning thought to himself that a man suddenly appeared on the street and was fussing, but he heard Duan Canghai say in a deep voice: "Protect the Marquis!" He shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse out.

Yang Ning was a little surprised and didn't know what Duan Canghai was doing.

With the sound of horse hooves, Duan Canghai seemed to have gone far away. After a short moment, Duan Canghai did not return. Yang Ning frowned and got out of the carriage. It was quiet all over. Two followers were already holding their knives in their hands, dismounted and approached, and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, you go back to the carriage first."

Yang Ning looked forward and asked, "What did Duan Canghai see? Why did he chase after him?"

"Someone flew over the street like a bird." A follower's eyes were slightly shocked, "It's very fast, like it's growing wings." He raised his hand and pointed forward, "Brother Duan chased into that alley."

"Mediating on other people's business." Yang Ning said angrily, "How do you see that it is a person? Could it be really just a bird?"

The follower hurriedly said, "Marty, although that man looks like he wants to have wings, he has two legs running on the ground. He has excellent light skills and looks like he is flying."

"So that's it." Yang Ning nodded slightly, suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked, "You said that man has wings? Isn't he a bit like a bat?"

"Bat?" The two followers looked at each other and nodded almost at the same time: "Not bad, Marquis, you are as imaginary as a god. That person really looks like a bat."

Yang Ning's heart sank, and he immediately remembered what happened at the official wine shop that day.

After leaving Huize City, he wanted to chase the escort team all the way to find Xiaodie, but encountered an accident on the way and met Master Xiao Guang’s disciple at the wine shop. Master Xiao Guang’s disciple was being slapped by a group of flying cicadas. Yang Ning still clearly remembered that the leader of the group of secret nuns was a bat man dressed in a bat.

The batman dressed too weird and Yang Ning still remembers it vividly.

At this time, he heard that the person Duan Canghai was following looked like a bat, Yang Ning naturally thought of the leader of the Feichan Mi Ninja. He was secretly surprised. Could it be that the group of Mi Ninja actually ran to the capital?

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard a strange scream, and then I heard a sad neighing sound of a horse.

"Not good!" Yang Ning's eyebrows tightened and he quickly ran towards the direction where the sound came. The two followers drew their swords in their hands and followed closely.

The three of them ran to the entrance of the alley and looked inside. They saw that it was pitch black in the alley. Yang Ning held the Han Blade in his hand and slowly touched it inside.

He complained in his heart that Duan Canghai was chasing the bird man without knowing the importance of it, but then he thought that Duan Canghai had a lot of experience in the world. Although he was a little careless, when he really encountered something, he was calm and sophisticated. With his personality, he would not chase after someone who was inexplicable. There must be something strange about it.

The alley is very narrow and dim, and people with poor eyesight cannot even see anything clearly.

Yang Ning had good eyesight, but he could only see a few steps away from the front. After the sound just now, there was no sound, and the alley was as quiet as if it was dead.

"Marty, look at where you want!" A follower suddenly said in surprise and raised his hand to point forward.

There was already the exit of the alley in front, but Yang Ning had already seen a horse lying at the entrance of the alley, struggling slightly, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

Yang Ning was shocked. The three of them approached and found that the horse was riding by Duan Canghai before. At this time, they fell in a pool of blood. The horse's head seemed to want to lift it, but it was soft and weak. Soon, the horse's head sank down and stopped moving. One of the followers was on guard and protected Yang Ning, while the other quickly stepped forward, checked twice, and said in horror: "Marty, the horse's throat is broken!"

"Is your throat broken?" Yang Ning leaned over and saw a bloody stain on the horse's throat in the glimmer of light. At this time, he was still bleeding out of the dock. He frowned and asked, "Can you tell what weapon is injured?"

The follower looked carefully before whispering: "Mr. Marquis, it seems that the sharp claws are torn apart, but it is very strange. The scars of the sharp claws are very regular and neat. However, the wounds here are confused and do not look like sharp claws, but they seem to be pulled open by hand."

Yang Ning's body was shocked, and the guard beside him said in a lost voice: "How is this possible? Who can pull the horse's neck with bare hands, how much strength does that have?"

Yang Ning frowned and said, "Don't worry about horses for now. Look for Duan Canghai. Where are the others?"

The two guards immediately realized that Duan Canghai was riding a horse to chase after him. Now the horse was dead on the ground, but Duan Canghai had no trace, which was really strange.

The three of them left the alley and looked around. A small street was empty, and the portals on both sides of the street were closed. There was no trace of light or half a figure.

"Brother Duan went there?" One of the followers looked around and frowned.

Yang Ning thought for a while before saying to a guard: "You go there and look for him and I go here. Remember, the other party is strange. If you find out, don't face him head-on, safety is the first priority."

The guard bowed and left.
