Chapter 174 Dragon Bird
Chapter 174 Dragon Bird
Two days later.
The Daning Palace.
The magnificent room has white marble pillars at the four corners, and the surrounding walls are all made of white jade bricks.
Ning Yongnian stood up from behind the huge desk, and his long sleeves accidentally knocked down a pile of tall memorials.
”What?!”
He looked at Li Huaizhong, who was standing in front of the table with his head down, in disbelief, and his tone was extremely shocked.
”Say it again!”
”Your Majesty.”
Li Huaizhong quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied with some trembling: “This old servant dare not say nonsense.”
”Wei Changtian did kill Chang Shuan with one move.”
”A sixth-rank killed a second-rank with one move?”
Ning Yongnian’s eyes widened with anger: “Do you really think I’m a fool?!”
”Plop!”
Li Huaizhong did not have the demeanor of a second-rank master at all, and he knelt directly on the ground.
”Your Majesty! I dare not believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes!”
”Master Wei Zhaohai and Master Liang Zhenliang were also present at the time. Your Majesty will know once you ask!”
”.”
Looking at Li Huaizhong with his forehead pressed against the ground, Ning Yongnian was stunned for a long time before slowly calming down his breathing.
He slowly sat back in his chair. After the shock subsided, what was left was worry and confusion.
”Call them? How should I explain to them how I know about this?”
Glancing at Li Huaizhong, Ning Yongnian shook his head and asked:
”Then what? What happened after Chang Shu’an died?”
”After that, they fought on the top of Yanyun Mountain.”
Li Huaizhong raised his head, but still did not dare to stand up. He knelt down and told the details of what happened afterwards.
The more Ning Yongnian listened, the more his brows frowned.
Because all this was too incredible.
Whether it was Xiao Feng who could mobilize five second-grade masters.
Or Wei Changtian’s scabbard that could hide thirty long swords.
Or maybe
everything about the earth-shattering fight between the two was beyond the cognition of the Emperor of Daning.
”So, those five second-rank masters are all dead?”
”Yes, all dead.”
Li Huaizhong answered truthfully: “After Qin Zhengqiu killed Wu Tianqing, the situation was irreversible. The remaining three masters of the other side did not escape, and finally died in battle on the top of Yanyun Mountain.”
”Five second-rank masters.”
Ning Yongnian seemed to be a little distressed, and asked in a deep voice: “What about Wei Changtian’s people? Are there any casualties?” ”
They all suffered some injuries, but I don’t know whether they are serious.”
Li Huaizhong shook his head: “But no one died.”
”.”
The sandalwood curled, and Ning Yongnian was silent for a long time this time and didn’t ask anything.
Or maybe he didn’t know where to start.
However, as the king of a country, the ability to think calmly seems to be innate.
This matter involves a serious matter, and he must figure it out.
One of the two “parties” has died, so the only one who can explain everything is Wei Changtian.
It’s Wei Changtian again.
Less than three months had passed since Liu Yuanshan’s death, and Ning Yuke’s affairs had not yet been investigated, but the only son of the Wei family had done this again.
Ning Yongnian wanted to send someone to capture Wei Changtian and torture him immediately.
However, due to the power of the Wei family, and even Wei Changtian’s own power, this method would definitely not succeed.
”Old Li, get up.”
Ning Yongnian’s face regained its calmness, while he sorted out the memorials on the table himself, he said softly:
”Let Longque come to see me.”
”.”
Not long after, a woman covered in black veil appeared in front of Ning Yongnian.
”Your Majesty.”
”Yes.”
Ning Yongnian didn’t even raise his head, while reviewing the memorials, he said casually:
”You have to go to Shuzhou again.”
”But this time you will go alone, and it may take a long time.”
”.”
Shuzhou, Wei’s residence.
Just as Ning Yongnian began to plan a huge conspiracy against Wei Changtian, the courtyard was quite lively.
Wei Changtian went to fly lanterns with Yang Liushi and Liang Qin in the afternoon, and took Ah Chun with him.
The others stayed at home to prepare dinner.
Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is reasonable that every household should drink Laba porridge.
However, Wei Changtian proposed to eat hot pot in a unique way.
He is the “head of the family”, and others certainly dare not object, so Yuan’er, Li Suyue, and several cooks in the family were busy all afternoon.
”Husband, light the charcoal quickly, the master will probably be back soon.”
Putting a plate of mutton on the table, Li Suyue smiled and said, “There are also pancakes in the oven, go and turn them over, I’m too busy to get away.”
”Okay, got it.”
Zhang San, who was fiddling with the copper pot, was very obedient and hurriedly turned around and left the house, and as a result, he almost bumped into Yuan’er who came in from outside.
”Ah! Brother Zhang San, go slower.”
Yuan’er pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, and Zhang San quickly apologized.
”I’m sorry, I didn’t see it just now.”
”You, you are so clumsy, go quickly.”
Li Suyue came over to make peace, pushed Zhang San out of the house, and pulled Yuan’er in.
”Yuan’er, can you help me see if there is any shortage of food that the master asked for?”
”Yes.”
Looking at the porcelain plates that almost filled the table, Yuan’er counted them one by one.
”Mutton, beef, duck intestines, cabbage. Eh? I remember there were fifteen kinds. Why is one missing?”
”Huh?”
Li Suyue was stunned. She stood in front of the table with Yuan’er and began to recall what was missing.
The two women thought for a long time but couldn’t remember it. It was Zhang San, the “human card recorder”, who reminded them outside the house:
”Tofu, one tofu is missing!”
”Yes!”
Li Suyue and Yuan’er’s eyes lit up.
Why did they forget this?
The young master loves tofu the most!
Just at night, Wei Changtian and his friends came back.
Yang Liushi and Liang Qin both looked extremely happy. Ah Chun was also excited, holding a sugar man bigger than her face in her hand.
Only Wei Changtian was not interested, as if he had suffered a great crime.
To be honest, shopping with a woman is indeed more tiring than fighting.
After washing their hands in a hurry with Yuan’er’s service, a group of people immediately sat at the table to eat hot pot.
Hot pot was not a rare thing in ancient times. In fact, it was quite common.
Of course, it is definitely different from the previous life, but after several “improvements” by Wei Changtian, it is not much different.
”Gurgle gurgle~”
The copper basin was steaming, and the fresh meat and vegetables were soon fished out by Yang Liushi and Liang Qin after being put into the pot, and sent to Wei Changtian’s bowl attentively.
Others who didn’t get this “good job” could only chat while eating their own. The small room was steaming and full of laughter.
The cold winter is the best time to eat hot pot.
It would be even more perfect if it snowed a little.
The bright moon was hanging high outside the house, and the lively and harmonious scene of Wei’s house was being played out in every household in Shuzhou City.
After all, today is Laba. Even if the family is poor and can’t afford hot pot, a bowl of hot Laba porridge with a few dishes of pickles is still basically affordable.
There are not many people on the deserted street. They are either people rushing home in a hurry or poor homeless people.
In such an environment, a young woman looks a bit abrupt.
The woman was wearing an ordinary cotton gown, carrying a package on her back, and her cheeks were red from the cold.
She was very pretty, and if there weren’t so few people around, she would have been teased by some street scoundrels.
But that wasn’t necessarily the case, after all, the long sword in her arms looked quite extraordinary.
She must be a female knight who traveled the world.
