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

"Do you think I am your father and can be manipulated at will?"

Zhu Shou was extremely angry.

The relationship between him and the Queen Mother was already somewhat cold, and after this quarrel, the relationship between mother and son reached a freezing point.

Zhu Shou wanted to deal with Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, but because of Empress Dowager Zhang, he had no way to do so.

Not only that, as long as Empress Dowager Zhang was still alive, he could do nothing to Zhang Yanling and his brother.

As an emperor, there are times when you are helpless.

Zhu Shou was both angry and helpless at this time.

Just at this moment, a eunuch outside the hall ran in with a panicked look on his face and knelt in front of Zhu Shou.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."

Zhu Shou was very angry at the moment, and he couldn't help but frown when he saw the eunuch so flustered.

"what's up?"

"There's a fire in the Marquis Jianchang's mansion!"

The eunuch said hurriedly.

Jianchang Marquis Mansion?

That was Zhang Yanling's mansion.

"Fire?"

Zhu Shou was shocked when he heard the news and asked, "What's the situation now? Is anyone injured?"

The eunuch still had a panicked expression on his face.

"It was a fire in the residence of a concubine of the Marquis's mansion. The Marquis happened to be there at the time. The Marquis did not escape when the fire broke out and unfortunately died in the fire."

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Shou’s eyes widened and he stood up immediately.

"You said that the Marquis of Jianchang was burned to death?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. When the Marquis was found, he had been burned into a charred corpse."

The eunuch replied hurriedly.

After getting the confirmation, Zhu Shou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At this time, he calmed down and asked, "Have you found out what caused the fire? Are there any other deaths?"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "The specific cause is still unclear and is still under investigation, but in addition to the Marquis, many servants in the Marquis's mansion have died mysteriously for unknown reasons."

Zhu Shou couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this.

After a while.

"Someone, go get Mou Bin."

……

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

A man knelt in front of Jiang Ning and kowtowed repeatedly for mercy.

However, the only response he got was a fleeting flash of sword light.

After killing this man, Jiang Ning turned and left.

After leaving the capital, Jiangning did not go north any further, but went straight south to Shandong.

Since he left Dengfeng, he has been tracking down those evildoers who escaped from Songshan. Although he found quite a few along the way, he still missed some. In the end, there was no trace of these people at all. Jiang Ning went to the capital for a trip, and then went south to Shandong.

He remembered that there were many forces among the gangsters who surrounded Huashan last year. There were too many of these forces, and even the intelligence sent by Hengshan could not reveal all of them. But Jiang Ning remembered that one of the forces was in Shandong, and it was called the Black Wind Society.

The last time Jiang Ning came to Shandong, he wanted to eliminate the Black Wind Society, but this force was too secretive and difficult to investigate. In addition, time was tight last time, so Jiang Ning put it on hold temporarily. Now that he is back in Shandong, he plans to investigate it thoroughly.

As for the man just now, it was a coincidence.

Jiang Ning passed by a village, which happened to be harmed by this man. After Jiang Ning caught him, he found out that he was one of the evil people who escaped from Songshan.

Jiang Ning couldn't find these people at first, but he didn't expect to meet one after leaving the capital. This is really fate.

However, during Jiang Ning's interrogation, this man did not know the whereabouts of other evildoers who also escaped from Songshan, which made Jiang Ning feel very sorry. In the end, Jiang Ning sent him off.

A few days later, Jiang Ning arrived at a county town in Shandong.

He had been traveling in the wild all this time, passing through villages. This was the first county town he saw.

Entering the county town, Jiang Ning came to an inn to eat first and then rest for a night.

"Sir, the food is ready, please enjoy."

The waiter brought the food to the table and left, glancing at Jiang Ning before leaving.

Ok?

Jiang Ning was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat the food when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He sniffed the food and his eyes changed slightly.

poisonous.

Jiang Ning immediately realized that the food was poisonous.

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, glanced around the inn, and put down his chopsticks.

After seeing Jiang Ning's action, the people hiding in the dark knew that the matter was exposed and immediately showed up.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

More than twenty people broke in from outside the inn.

These people all held weapons in their hands and looked at Jiang Ning with murderous eyes.

"Are you Jiang Ning from Huashan Sect?"

Someone spoke, holding a piece of paper with Jiang Ning's face drawn on it.

At this time, a gangster spoke in a stern voice.

"I heard that you have the ancestral sword manual of the Fuwei Escort Agency? Hand it over and we can let you go."

Chapter 424: Latest news from the Jianghu

Chapter 424: Latest news from the Jianghu

Ever since Jiang Ning announced in Luoyang that the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism was in his possession, these people finally couldn't help themselves.

Jiang Ning glanced at these people.

Their martial arts skills are not low, some are second-rate, and the rest are third-rate.

"Let me go?"

Jiang Ning smiled.

interesting.

"The name of King Ning is known to everyone in the martial arts world. We have no intention of becoming your enemy."

A scholar holding a judge's pen said to Jiang Ning, "We only want the Sword Manual of Exorcism. If King Ning is willing to let us see it, I will be very grateful."

The scholar was being polite, but the people around him were all eyeing Jiang Ning covetously. As long as Jiang Ning said no, there was no doubt that they would rush over.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning took a book from his arms and placed it on the table.

"The Sword Manual of Exorcism is right here, come and get it if you want it."

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, the breathing sounds around him became heavier.

These people all stared at the secret book on the table.

The scholar and several other second-rate people looked at each other and were quite surprised that Ning Yanwang, who was notorious in the underworld, was so easy to talk to.

It seems that King Ning is not as scary as the legend says. He is actually quite sensible.

Several people were delighted and couldn't help but want to go up and take the secret book to have a look, but due to Jiang Ning's vicious reputation, they didn't go up to read it right away.

"King Ning is indeed chivalrous. I admire him."

The scholar holding the judge's pen spoke loudly.

"Don't worry, Lord Ning. We just want to take a look and we will return the items to you in their original form later."

After saying this, the scholar hinted to someone to go up and get it.

The man who was signaled was just a third-rate character. He was a little scared at first, but when the scholar asked him to go up, he swallowed his saliva and walked towards Jiang Ning cautiously, always paying attention to whether Jiang Ning would suddenly kill people, as if he was facing not a person, but a flood and beast.

But when he approached Jiang Ning step by step, Jiang Ning did not react, but just sat there quietly. Until he was less than one meter away from Jiang Ning, his heart was in his throat. If Jiang Ning took action at this time, he would surely die. However, in this situation, Jiang Ning did not take the next step, as if he was really frightened by these people, and let them take away the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

He stretched out his hand towards the secret book on the table, but Jiang Ning didn't move.

This third-rate character couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to touch the secret book, Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.

"Your hands are shaking, are you scared?"

Jiang Ning's voice was so sudden that it startled him. He looked over subconsciously and found that Jiang Ning was looking at him with a faint smile on his face.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death?"

Jiang Ning asked.

This third-rate character was extremely alert.

Jiang Ning continued.

"They all want the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but they are afraid to come because they value their lives. He asked you to come and explore the way, so you came. You are afraid of death, but you can't help the greed in your heart. People like you are often the ones who die the fastest."

After hearing these words, he realized something was wrong and turned around to escape, but it was too late.

Jiang Ning pinched his head with one hand and twisted it. With a click, the head and body rotated 360 degrees and the head and body were separated instantly.

Jiang Ning's move startled everyone.

puff.

The headless body fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning stood up, holding his head with one hand, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
