Although Ximen Zhanying was impulsive, she was not stupid after all. Qi Feng suddenly leaked the air and felt something was strange. She glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning sitting by the bonfire, with her hands spreading down, and was basking her hands, looking calm and at ease. She felt that there was something inside.

Yan Lingxian sat aside from a distance and was not close to the bonfire, so he naturally didn't know what to say here.

Ximen Zhanying saw that Qi Ning and others didn't say much, as if they were treating themselves as outsiders. They were a little unhappy, so they got up and went straight to the riverside. Qi Ning glanced at it, smiled faintly, and said softly: "A woman is troublesome, she is bothered when she lives, and she is bothered when she dies."

Of course, he said that Ximen Zhanying was not about life or death, but about whether the black robe was alive, Ximen Zhanying was in a bad mood.

Qi Feng's wound was applied with medicine, and now it has healed a lot. Although he can't walk around at will, let alone use force, the pain has disappeared a lot. He chuckled: "Marty, in fact, Miss Ximen is a good person. She was always jealous, but now she is worried about the life and death of others, and her heart is kind."

"How do you know she is jealous?" Qi Ning glanced at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng laughed and said, "You can see that even the blind man is blind. Although this girl Ximen likes to quarrel with the Marquis, I think she has fallen in love with the Marquis for a long time."

Zhou Shun also nodded and said, "Mr. Marquis, Qi Feng is right. I can see that Marquis is in the wind. How many women in the world don't like it?"

Qi Ning laughed, then lowered her voice and said, "We can't leave the water route, but fortunately we are about to leave Xichuan, so we will return to Beijing by land."

"The Marquis think that group of people will come?" Li Tang frowned and said, "They are coming in this time, and the black robe has already sunk to the bottom of the water as the Marquis planned. What other tricks can they come up with?"

Zhou Shun sneered: "Those water ghosts must continue to look for black robes under the water. If they only see the robes at that time, will they become suspicious?"

"It's so wide that the river surface and the water flows eastward, it's impossible to find a robe." Qi Feng said, "Even if they find it, I can't think of what they have to do." He lowered his voice and laughed, "Who could have thought that the black robe was filled with salt. The salt fell into the water and would soon melt away, leaving only a robe. Even if they found it, they only thought that the people in the black robe had slipped away."

Qi Ning coughed, and Qi Feng stopped talking.

The moonlight was faint, but Qi Ning felt a little annoyed at this moment, regretting that she could not catch Hua Xiangrong.

Qi Ning knew in his heart that he had rescued Xiang Baiying from Xinping Town that day, and Elder Baihu and others would definitely aim at finding Xiang Baiying's whereabouts.

He deliberately set up a plan to lure the enemy and wrapped it in a salt bag in a black robe, making those people mistakenly think that the black robe was Xiang Baiying, in order to attract the other party's attention. After setting off from Chengdu, Qi Ning had long guessed that the other party was likely to attack on the road, so he also made some preparations.

But he didn't expect that the other party would appear in the form of a water ghost.

When the water ghost appeared tonight, Qi Ning was ready to catch a living mouth and asked for some useful information. However, he also knew that although there were many water ghosts tonight, most water ghosts may know nothing about the truth behind it. They must capture the leader of these water ghosts, and perhaps they can ask for some information.

Hua Xiangrong's appearance made Qi Ning very excited, but Hua Xiangrong was too cunning, and she escaped and lost a chance to ask the truth. Qi Ning was naturally upset.

He deliberately let go of the black robe under the water, which made the other party mistakenly think that Xiang Baiying sank into the bottom of the water. The salt bag in the black robe would melt away in the water without long, and then only one robe was left. Not to mention that it was extremely difficult to find a robe under the water, even if it was really found, it would only make them mistakenly think that Xiang Baiying would not live, but no one would die, but no corpse would not be seen.

Although Qi Feng and several other confidants knew that the black robe was wrapped in salt bags, they still don’t know what Qi Ning was going to do, nor do they know that Qi Ning was Gu Bu Mirror, just to ensure the safety of Xiang Baiying.

As soon as the next day, everyone set out, abandoned the water route, and walked by land. Qi Ning rewarded each of the boatmen with some money and asked them to go back and pay for the service on their own. Unfortunately, the ship sank the river and the horses sank into the river. In desperation, they could only find a place and hire a carriage.

The road was smooth, and more than a day on the way, the car was running around. This day, I finally rushed back to Jianye Capital City. When I entered the capital, the sunset had not yet set. Qi Ning had been out for a long time. As soon as he entered the city gate, he thought of Gu Qinghan in his heart. But he also knew that the little emperor was probably looking forward to it day and night in the palace. He immediately ordered Qi Feng and others to go back to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion first. Yan Lingxian and Ximen Zhanying also went back to the Shenhou Mansion to make a deal, and he went straight to the imperial city.

When he walked outside the palace, the guards at the gate saw Qi Ning being exhausted and could not recognize him for a moment, and shouted, "Who is it?"

Qi Ning didn't talk nonsense, and took the imperial gold medal and said, "I am the waiter of Jinyi Qi Ning, and I am ordered to handle the mission. Now I will go back to the capital and go to the palace to report to the emperor."

The guard saw the gold medal and smiled, "Mr. Marquis, it turns out that you are back to the capital. The emperor has issued an order. Whenever the Marquis enters the palace, he will not stop him. It's just that the Marquis is not wearing an official robe. The villain is clumsy and has offended him. Marquis forgives his crime."

Seeing the guard tactfully, Qi Ning smiled and said, "The emperor asked me to do something important, so he rushed to reply, and there was no time to change his clothes."

The guard hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, the Marquis is full of energy, so this job is naturally easy to take, and the emperor will definitely receive a reward." He didn't say anything nonsense and let Qi Ning enter the palace.

After Qi Ning entered the palace, he went straight to the imperial study room and made a message. When the little emperor learned that it was Qi Ning who came back, he was overjoyed and ordered: "Let him come in quickly."

Qi Ning quickly walked into the imperial study room, and saw Longtai standing at the door. Seeing Qi Ning dusty. Longtai laughed and stepped forward and punched Qi Ning in the chest. Qi Ning knew that he was just happy and did not dodge. He was hit by the little emperor in the chest. The little emperor laughed and scolded: "Damn it, you are so comfortable outside, but I have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come back, I will punish you for serious crimes." Qi Ning pulled into the study room, closed the door, and then turned around and asked: "Has you just returned to Beijing?"

Qi Ning said bitterly: "Master, do you really think I am free and happy outside. During this trip to Xichuan, I almost lost my life there. If it weren't for my cleverness, I would have turned the danger into safety, I'm afraid you won't see me." He pointed to his throat: "I'm worried that the emperor would wait for a long time, so he kept working all the way. After entering the capital, he didn't even go back to the Marquis' Mansion, so he went into the palace to report to the emperor. His throat was so hot that he was so thirsty."

Longtai laughed, went over and opened the door of the Imperial Study room, and ordered: "Come here, come and bring the two-wister bird's nest and tremella porridge." He was happy in his heart, and went over and took the pastry box on the desk on the Imperial desk and placed it on the table next to Qi Ning, and smiled and said: "This is what I admire you, try it a few."

Qi Ning was not polite, so he picked up the pastry and ate it. Longtai saw him choking and said with a smile: "Xichuan is really so shabby. If you go there, it seems like you haven't eaten for a few years."

"Your Majesty, it's not that Xichuan is shabby, but that I don't have time to eat there." Qi Ning said while swallowing and choking: "Yes, has the emperor received a memorial from Wei Shutong?"

Longtai found a note on the desk of the imperial book and said, "I just delivered it yesterday. Wei Shutong praised you, the world would be in chaos without you," he took another note and handed it over, "This is a note that someone handed it ten days ago, so you can take a look."

Qi Ning didn't care about Wei Shutong's memorial, what was written in it. Wei Shutong and him had already been vented before, and you could know it if you didn't read it. However, Longtai suddenly handed over such a memorial, obviously had a lot of meaning. He opened it and glanced at Longtai, frowned, looked at Longtai, and said, "Prince, who is Zhao Bangyao?"

"Zhao Bangyao is the Chief Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate." Longtai said: "There are dozens of memorials like this, but the Chief Censor has the highest official position and the sharpest speech, so he stayed here."

Qi Ning knew that the Censorate was the highest supervisory department of the empire, with its three courts, palaces and prosecutors. The Censor was the highest chief of the Censorate. The Censor Central Committee was only under the Censorate. The Censor General was the Censor General. The Censor General Punishment Office was to impeach all the officials and impeach illegally. Sometimes the Censor General even had to participate in cases specially ordered by the emperor.

The Censorate and the Shenhou Mansion are somewhat similar in some ways, and both bear the responsibility of supervision. However, the Shenhou Mansion supervises the world, while the Censorate is the supervisory government office.

Qi Ning said: "This Zhao Zhongcheng said that I indulged bandits and helped the evildoer to abuse him. Hehe, and said that I was doing things recklessly regardless of the safety of the empire. The emperor, it seems that many people in the court already have opinions about me."

Longtai sat down on the chair and smiled and said, "When the late emperor was in power, he always valued the Censorate. Those who spoke were not guilty, so those people were very brave. Even if they were stolen, they would not let go of some things that were stolen. They would impeach them in a large manner." Pointing to the memorial, he said, "This Zhao Bangyao was so bold that he was not afraid of offending others. Therefore, the late emperor valued him a lot and promoted him many times. When the officials in the court saw that the late emperor valued this person, they always gave him three points, so he was always brave. Someone called him Zhao Tiedan in private."

"Tie Dan?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "The Kyoto Prefecture Prime Minister Mo Zheng has a nickname called Mo Tiedun. There is a Zhao Zhongcheng named Zhao Tiedan in the Censorate. The emperor. It seems that there are many direct ministers in this court."

"The state has a straight minister, and the country will be prosperous and safe." Longtai said: "If there is no minister in the court who dares to speak out in a blunt way, the country will be over." He leaned on a chair, with his hands across his lower abdomen, and said: "Zhao Bangyao had to submit a memorial at almost every court meeting, and his memorial was handled by the previous emperor. After this person became the chief censor, the memorial was gradually reduced. Although there were fewer memorials, every time he was reported, one or two people would lose their official positions."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty, does Zhao Tiedan have any grudges with the Jinyi Houqi family? Why did he have to attack me this time?"

Longtai said: "As far as I know, this person has not had any good friends with anyone in the court. They all say he is an isolated minister. Think about it, this person often submits memorials. The demotion he targets is a trivial matter, and some people are willing to approach him?"
