The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Hearing Chen Qingyuan's words, the middle-aged man looked him up and down, his tone restrained a little, but still arrogant.

"Are you the new Minister of Revenue?"

Chen Qingyuan nodded repeatedly.

"Yes Yes."

Hearing the other party's admission, the middle-aged man's tone softened and he pointed his whip at Jiang Ning behind Chen Qingyuan.

"Do you know him?"

Chen Qingyuan said quickly, "This is my nephew, who came to the capital to visit me. This is his first time in the capital, so please don't blame me if he offended you, Lord."

Hearing what Chen Qingyuan said, the middle-aged man nodded, his expression still somewhat arrogant.

"In that case, I will give you a favor."

Seeing that the other party was willing to let the matter go, Chen Qingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the other party's words the next second made him nervous again.

"If you hadn't come to plead for mercy today, I would have taken him to the Ministry of Justice and given him a good beating for daring to stop my horse in public."

Chen Qingyuan's eyelids were twitching wildly.

Don't say anymore!

I'm so afraid that you'll be dead on the spot in the next second!

"Yes Yes Yes."

Chen Qingyuan was afraid that Jiang Ning would suddenly kill someone, so he quickly took over the conversation and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."

The middle-aged man nodded arrogantly and continued.

"I am giving you a favor, otherwise I will never be able to get away with it today."

In fact, based on the character of the middle-aged man, he would definitely not let it go today. But Chen Qingyuan was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after all, a third-rank official, and he was in charge of the court's purse. He had been in the limelight recently, and many officials had almost broken down Chen Qingyuan's mansion. He would not make enemies with him if he could.

Moreover, if the two sides become enemies, the other party will report him at the court meeting for riding a horse and committing crimes in a busy city. Although it will not have much impact on him, it will still cause trouble for him, as those civil servants already dislike him.

Chen Qingyuan's face turned green again.

You are giving me face, I am saving your life!

Chen Qingyuan apologized repeatedly, and the middle-aged man rode away.

Chen Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Jiang Ning and apologized, "Mr. Jiang, I was offended just now by calling you my nephew, please don't blame me."

He could have just mentioned Jiang Ning's identity as the Guanzhong hero, but the middle-aged man might not buy it. In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, Chen Qingyuan said that Jiang Ning was his nephew.

Jiang Ning didn't care about it. He looked at the middle-aged man who had left and asked, "Who is this marquis? Is he usually like this?"

For some reason, Chen Qingyuan subconsciously felt something was wrong when he heard this.

Chen Qingyuan, who knew Jiang Ning's vicious nature, said quickly: "This is the uncle of the emperor, his surname is Zhang, and he is the uncle of the current emperor."

After explaining the middle-aged man's background to Jiang Ning, Chen Qingyuan said, "Marquis Zhang's sister is the current empress dowager, and Your Majesty is his nephew. He is usually a little arrogant, but he doesn't often ride a horse on the street. Today must be an accident."

Chen Qingyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carefully composed his words so as not to arouse Jiang Ning's murderous intent.

If Jiang Ning killed the emperor's uncle in public, regardless of other consequences, he, as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, would definitely not be able to escape the consequences. He could only try his best to appease both parties, especially Jiang Ning.

Last year, there was a river of blood at the foot of Mount Hua, and these Shaanxi officials are all well aware of it.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything when he heard this, he just nodded, with no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

He knew what Chen Qingyuan was worried about, so he would naturally not touch the emperor's uncle in public.

The two returned to the restaurant to eat again.

The young man who witnessed all this from a distance was thoughtful.

"I didn't expect that Minister Chen and Lord Zhang would meet here."

The people behind the young man exclaimed in amazement.

Only the man was paying careful attention to the young man.

Based on his understanding of the young man, he was not in a very good mood at the moment.

really.

The young man sneered.

"If I hadn't come out here, I really wouldn't have known that the imperial prison of the Ministry of Justice had become someone's private property. He lets people in whenever he wants. What a great prestige."

The young man had already arrived when the middle-aged man was riding his horse to commit the crime. He saw and heard everything the middle-aged man said.

Hearing this, several people stopped talking and looked at the young man carefully, their hearts pounding.

"Sir, shall we continue shopping?"

No one spoke, only the man spoke carefully.

The young man turned around and glanced at him. He had been aloof before, but now he revealed a frightening aura.

"no need."

The young man uttered three words expressionlessly.

"Let's go back."

Several people became even more frightened, as they all knew that the young man was now angry.

But before leaving, the young man looked at Jiang Ning's back again, with a strange look in his eyes.

He had just seen Jiang Ning flying out from a restaurant nearby, and he was shocked by his skills.

"Are you thinking about Minister Chen's nephew?"

The man observed the young man's expression and guessed what he was thinking.

"Nephew?"

The young man smiled.

He could see that Chen Qingyuan was somewhat respectful to Jiang Ning and definitely not like a son or nephew.

Because of this, he became even more curious about Jiang Ning's identity.

Who could make a third-rank official of the imperial court so respectful?

interesting.

"Check the person just now."

The young man spoke.

The man looked solemn when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chapter 415: Zhu Shou

Chapter 415: Zhu Shou

After having dinner with Chen Qingyuan, Jiang Ning declined the other party's invitation and stayed in an inn in the capital.

This time he came to the capital just to take a look. He would not stay here for too long. He would leave in a few days at most.

So there are some things he is not in a hurry to do.

Sometimes being too anxious can expose yourself.

Jiang Ning, sitting in front of the window, was staring at the capital city outside.

He is on the fourth floor and can look down at the entire capital city from here. Although he certainly cannot see the whole city, he can see just the tip of the iceberg of the capital city.

The capital city is brightly lit at night.

Jiang Ning looked at the night scene while feeling the internal strength in his body.

More than a month had passed since he broke through the fourth level of Xiantian Gong on Mount Songshan. In the meantime, he had gone through many battles, both large and small. He had now stabilized and had adapted his body to his improved martial arts skills.

He is stronger now than he was a month ago.

Jiang Ning looked out the window, his internal energy running autonomously according to the Xiantian Gong practice method. With each circle his internal energy increased and became stronger.

This is the change that came after he broke through the fourth level of Xiantian Gong.

It can be said that Jiang Ning no longer needs to practice Xiantian Qi deliberately, as his body can already run Xiantian Qi autonomously.

Yue Buqun had told Jiang Ning before that when Taoist skills are mastered to a high level, one no longer needs to practice on one's own, as the internal force will automatically run the skills. At this level, even sleeping and breathing will become stronger.

Now Jiang Ning has also reached this level.

Of course, Jiang Ning’s current state does not mean that he does not need to practice hard. There is still a difference in the efficiency of practicing Xiantian Kung by himself and using his internal strength to practice Xiantian Kung independently.

But that’s just one of the benefits.

Jiang Ning also realized that his body had changed.

Before, when he entered the first stage of Xiantian Gong, his physical fitness had already been enhanced. Although he was not immune to all diseases, ordinary diseases could hardly invade his body. But now, Jiang Ning felt that his physical fitness was stronger than before. It could be said that as long as he did not give up his martial arts and his body had no hidden injuries left from the past, he would basically be immune to diseases in this life.

In addition to this, Jiang Ning also felt that his physical resistance had also been enhanced.

It's about poison.

Jiang Ning felt that his body was immune to some poisons.

This was not a self-feeling, but the realization he got after personally feeling his own body. Jiang Ning had also tried it specially, using those poisonous grasses to test his body, but he didn't feel anything at all.

Now his physical fitness has become so strong that ordinary poisons have no effect on him.

Of course, it is impossible to be immune to all poisons, and he is not at that level yet. All he can say is that if someone wants to deal with him by poisoning in the future, Jiang Ning can give them a surprise.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

……

The next day.

Jiang Ning, who slept until dawn, finally woke up.
