It was already midnight when Qi Ning came out of the palace.
If an accident occurred among other local officials, it would naturally not be Qi Ning's turn to investigate in person. But this time the accident was the Governor of the Donghai Navy. This was not only a major event for the Dan Tai family, but also a major event for the Chu State.
Qi Ning could naturally hear that Sima Lan did not want to investigate the case himself, but the old Marquis of Tan Tai was obviously very persistent.
Qi Ning also keenly realized that the direct consequence of this death of Dan Tai Zhilin was that the East China Sea Navy had no leader. In this way, the East China Sea Navy would definitely usher in a huge shock.
After coming out of the palace, Qi Ning did not go back to the mansion directly, but went to Xianleju where Ximen Shenhou was.
Although Ximen Wuhen is the divine lord of the Shenhou Mansion, he is now in the divine lord of the Shenhou Mansion, and he often stays in the leisure area. Moreover, the body of the old Shenhou looks much worse than before.
Xianleju is located in a remote place. When Qi Ning came to Xianleju, it was already midnight. He could not be sure whether Ximen Wuhen had already known the news that Dan Tai Zhilin had committed suicide. After all, the news was blocked at the first time and did not spread to the outside world. However, the Divine Marquis Mansion had great magical powers, and even if Ximen Wuhen knew the news, it was not surprising.
Xianleju was quiet inside, and Ximen Wuhen seemed to have fallen asleep. Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally knocked on the door.
The knock on the door was very crisp at night. After a while, I heard a voice coming from inside, "Who is it?" It was the voice of a girl. Qi Ning immediately heard it was Ximen Zhanying's voice.
After the battle at the palace that day, Qi Ning never saw Ximen Zhanying again. It has been a long time now. Moreover, according to the customs of the Chu State, it is not advisable for both men and women to meet in private after getting engaged. Therefore, Qi Ning has not found Ximen Zhanying privately for a while, but he naturally cannot avoid it when he comes to have fun tonight.
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhan Ying, it's me!"
There was a silence in the room at first, and after a moment, Qi Ning listened to the voice from behind the door and said, "What are you doing? It's too late!"
"Is that God's Hou here?" Qi Ning whispered: "I have something urgent to see God's Hou!"
"Dad is already asleep." Ximen Zhanying whispered behind the door: "Would you like to come here early tomorrow morning?"
Qi Ning thought that when he was discussing the matter, both the emperor and the old Marquis of Dan Tai hoped that he would set off as soon as possible, and he only had a day to deal with the things at hand. He would set off the road the next day, and he really didn't have time to go back and forth. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "I know the God's Hou has stopped, but!" After pausing, he said: "Forget it, then you should rest early, I'll take time to come tomorrow."
He thought that things were so urgent that he shouted Ximen Wuhen in the middle of the night. After all, it was inappropriate. He turned around and wanted to leave. Without taking a few steps, he heard a "creaking" sound, but the door of the house was opened. Qi Ning stopped and turned around. He saw that the door of the house was pulled open halfway, and Ximen Zhanying stood by the door without saying a word.
Qi Ning looked around and didn't talk nonsense. She flashed and had already crawled in. Ximen Zhanying closed the door and turned around. She saw Qi Ning right in front of her. The two were close at hand. Ximen Zhanying felt a little jumping and took a step back. At this time, Qi Ning looked at her with the moonlight and saw that Ximen Zhanying was wearing an extremely loose blue silk skirt with slightly chaotic hair. She obviously had just gotten up, but she looked even more pretty.
Ximen Zhanying has been practicing martial arts for many years, and her body lines are naturally more three-dimensional than ordinary girls. Her beautiful body is wrapped in a silk skirt, graceful and charming.
Seeing Qi Ning's eyes swept across him, Ximen Zhanying's cheeks were slightly hot, but Qi Ning couldn't help but whisper: "Zhanying, you seem to be much more beautiful."
"You just like to talk nonsense." Ximen Zhanying was praised by Qi Ning, but she felt a little happy and said shyly: "What are you here to do in the middle of the night?"
Qi Ning deliberately walked closer and whispered: "I'll be guilty of coming over to see my wife, right?"
"I haven't gotten married yet, it's not your wife." Ximen Zhanying lowered her head and did not dare to look at Qi Ning.
Seeing Ximen Zhanying, who was usually wise and sassy, ​​Qi Ning looked shy and had a unique charm. She couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand. Ximen Zhanying was shocked and wanted to break free, and whispered: "Don't do anything randomly, Daddy is still there."
Qi Ning thought this was not a joke. If Ximen Wuhen saw him coming to take advantage of his daughter in the middle of the night, he might not have had good results. Qi Ning was still quite afraid of the old god and let go. Seeing this, Ximen Zhanying couldn't help but smile on her lips, she gave him a blank look, and whispered: "So you are also afraid."
"It's not that I'm afraid." Qi Ning whispered: "I'm just patient. Anyway, after a while, you will be my wife. At that time, I will hold you as much as I want, and kiss you as much as I want!"
Ximen Zhanying heard what he said, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Also, if you talk nonsense again, I'll call you daddy."
Qi Ning smiled and asked in a low voice: "Zhan Ying, is Shenhou asleep? I really have something urgent to find him."
"Why are you going to come in the middle of the night?" Ximen Zhanying frowned and said, "My father is not in good health these days. I don't want to find a doctor, so he doesn't let him do it. I really don't know what to do."
"Is the divine sign sick?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Isn't it better yet?"
"It took a while." Ximen Zhanying showed a look of worry between her eyebrows and sighed softly: "I vomited blood a few days ago!"
Qi Ning was shocked. With Ximen Wuhen's cultivation level, he could vomit blood, which shows that he was very ill.
But Qi Ning also knew that no matter how high his martial arts skills were, they were still flesh and blood, not a god, and they were inevitable for birth, old age, sickness and death. Ximen Wuhen was already in high school this year and his body was weak, which was also inevitable. However, it was strange that he did not invite a doctor to see him at this point in serious illness.
Seeing Ximen Zhanying looking worried, Qi Ning said softly: "Zhanying, Shenhou is very good at martial arts and is not ordinary people. Even if you are sick, you will definitely recover after careful care of your time."
Ximen Zhanying said lightly and said softly: "Help me persuade my father. Every time I ask him to come over, he always says that those doctors cannot cure medical skills and those doctors cannot see anything." Youyou said: "Dad is too proud in his life and never asks for help. Now that he is old this year, he still won't admit defeat, and he doesn't even let the doctor see him when he is sick."
"The hero of God's Hou will never feel that he will find someone if he has a minor illness." Qi Ning sighed softly: "Zhan Ying, don't worry too much, I will turn around and persuade him."
Ximen Zhanying nodded and then whispered: "What are you doing with Daddy so late?"
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's actually about our marriage."
Ximen Zhanying blushed and lowered her head and said, "Aren't your third old man here to discuss this? What are you doing by yourself?" She thought that the matchmaker would arrange the marriages for others, and there was no need for you, the groom, to take action personally.
"Zhan Ying, do you know that something big happened in the East China Sea?" Qi Ning looked solemn.
"Big thing? East China Sea?" Ximen Zhanying said in confusion: "What big thing?"
Seeing Ximen Zhanying's reaction, Qi Ning thought that Ximen Zhanying really didn't know that Dan Tai Zhilin was dead, but she didn't know whether Ximen Wuhen deliberately concealed it or that even Ximen Wuhen had no information.
Qi Ning did not hide it and told Dan Tai Zhilin that he committed suicide. Ximen Zhan Yinghua was disgraced and said in surprise: "Governor Dan Tai committed suicide? How is this possible?"
"The court also thinks that this matter is very strange, so!" Qi Ning stopped talking.
He knew very well that for Ximen Zhanying, he might be immersed in the joy of being a wife. For a while, the two families have been organizing this marriage. Good things are coming. If he told him that he was going to the East China Sea to investigate, it might be disappointing Ximen Zhanying.
Ximen Zhanying seemed to understand something and asked in a low voice: "Will the court send you to the East China Sea?"
Qi Ning was stunned, thinking that Ximen Zhanying was smart, and said with a wry smile: "I just came to the palace. Tonight, the old Marquis of Dan Tai talked to me alone. He meant that the governor of Dan Tai committed suicide this time. If something was wrong, I could only go to Donghai Xiang to investigate. Moreover, the court was worried that after the death of the governor of Dan Tai, the situation in the East China Sea would be turbulent. The court is now preparing for the Northern Expedition. Once the East China Sea changes, it will inevitably hinder the court's Northern Expedition plan and even miss the opportunity to unify the world!"
Ximen Zhanying had a little disappointment between her eyebrows, but she still said: "You are you and the Minister of Justice. Such a big case happened in the East China Sea, so it is natural to send you there."
"Zhan Ying, we will get married soon, but at this moment!" Qi Ning felt a little guilty.
Ximen Zhanying smiled reluctantly and whispered: "Don't worry, I know that state affairs are the most important. If you put such a big deal, it's not you. If you go to Xichuan and go on a mission to Dongqi, you will be successful in the end. This time you go to Donghai, you will definitely find out the truth."
Ximen Zhanying was so considerate that Qi Ningxin felt even more guilty. She reached out and gently hugged Ximen Zhanying and hugged her in her arms. Ximen Zhanying was stunned for a moment, but still let Qi Ning hug her. Qi Ning said softly: "Zhanying, this time I go to Donghai, I will finish the matter soon. When I come back, we will get married immediately."
"You go well." Ximen Zhanying whispered: "Dad is in poor health. I want to stay by his side to take care of him. I can't accompany you this time. You should take care of yourself outside. Anyway, I'll wait for you to come back."
Qi Ning even hugged Ximen Zhanying's soft body tightly, with the moonlight faint and the love was endless.
"I'll call my father." After a moment, Ximen Zhanying gently pushed Qi Ning away: "If you go to Donghai, you won't be able to come back for a while. You can only change the wedding date. You have to tell your father about this."
"Yeah." Qi Ning nodded and said, "I came here tonight just to discuss this with the Lord of God to see if I could postpone the wedding date by a month."
Ximen Zhanying whispered slightly and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I'll go and have a look." He went straight to Ximen Wuhen's house. Qi Ning was waiting in the yard, thinking about how to explain to Ximen Wuhen later. After a while, he saw Ximen Zhanying coming over with a look of worry on his face. Qi Ning hurried up and asked, "Haven's Wake Up?"
