I am the master of this world

Chapter 168
As the old saying goes, treat a person with his own way.

Nie Biao dared to sneak attack Shen Ning, so Shen Ning naturally let him have a taste of being attacked!As Nie Biao led his troops closer, everyone in the dense forest lowered their breathing and did not even dare to fart.

Seeing the opponent enter the encirclement, Shen Ning held a three-stone strong bow, built a bow, and pointed the bow into a full moon at the leader Nie Biao.

Fortunately, the bright moon is hanging high today, and the white moonlight is shining everywhere, which provides convenience for sneak attacks.

Snapped.
Shen Ning immediately loosened the tight bow string and saw the arrow feathers turning into an afterimage, passing directly through the trees and hitting Nie Biao.

Nie Biao screamed and fell off his horse.

This seemed to be a signal, and in an instant, bows and arrows were fired from the woods on both sides, and countless Qingzhou soldiers were shot by arrows one after another, and the tragic sound continued.

After releasing the arrows, the soldiers and horses in the dense forest rushed out, directly blocked the two ends, completely surrounded the Qingzhou soldiers, and then began to annihilate them one by one.

The morale of the soldiers in Qingzhou was already low, but now they were attacked by surprise again, and they were still outnumbered. The result can be imagined!

In the end, many soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, so there was no possibility of the entire army being wiped out.

The ambush was fought quickly and ended in less than a quarter of an hour.

When Shen Ning found Nie Biao, he was already dead. The arrow hit his neck. Even though he had strong fighting ability, he would still be killed.It's a pity that this peak martial artist was killed by a hidden arrow.

Shen Ning ordered someone to chop off his head, put it in a box, and then returned to the barracks under pressure from the Qingzhou soldiers who surrendered.

Sima Haiyun has returned to the camp. At this time, he is completely sleepless and is waiting for Shen Ning's triumphant return.

When he heard that Shen Ning was back, he hurriedly welcomed her out. When they met, he asked, "What's the result?"

"Reporting to the crown prince, the enemy was defeated. This is the head of the enemy's general Nie Biao!" Shen Ning replied.

Sima Haiyun looked at the box, and quickly ordered someone to open it. In the box, Nie Biao's eyes widened, looking like he was dying. Sima Haiyun didn't dislike blood, and laughed excitedly.

"Two of Sima Jiong's five great generals were lost in your hands. Shen Ning, you are really Sima Jiong's nemesis and my lieutenant general in Xuzhou! Thanks to your caution this time, the scouts made a large-scale investigation, and only then did they discover the other party's tricks. , If it were someone else, I would definitely be fooled, and I might be the one who died tonight!" Sima Haiyun said excitedly.

Shen Ning said calmly: "Your Highness, this is what a humble job should do!"

Sima Haiyun nodded, and then said: "Didn't you capture a lot of Qingzhou soldiers? Pick a few quick-legged ones, let them take this head back to Qingzhou, and make Sima Jiong happy."

It can make Sima Jiong so angry that Sima Haiyun is happy just thinking about it.

Shen Ning didn't stop him and did as he wanted.

Before I knew it, dawn had arrived.

After cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded, the building boat had arrived, and everyone crossed the river by boat and finally entered the border of Xuzhou.

The next step was to rush on the road. There were no incidents on the way, and we were getting closer and closer to Pengcheng.

Southeast Palace.

Sima Yue just took medicine while lying on the bed.

His face was even more haggard, and he had begun to be bedridden.

Standing beside the bed was Jiang Xiao, with a guilty expression on his face, he said, "My lord, I am incompetent and have not been able to find the Taoist golden elixir from Longhu Mountain."

Sima Yue sighed, looking disappointed.

He has a similar life span, and his only hope is to see if he can change his life by using the Taoist golden elixir, but now it seems he has no chance.

"Your Majesty sent Dihuwei to Longhu Mountain to search for the Taoist golden elixir, but the search was fruitless. It seems that the Taoist golden elixir is long gone. It's a legend." Sima Yue didn't blame Jiang Xiao, but said: "More What's more, even if you get the Taoist golden elixir, can you really recover?"

Jiang Xiao stood respectfully and did not answer.

"Where is the prince?" Sima Yue came back to his senses and asked.

Jiang Xiao replied: "I have passed Xiapi, and I will return to Pengcheng in three days."

Speaking of Sima Haiyun, Sima Yue showed a smile: "This kid is used to messing around. This time I went to the imperial capital to open my eyes and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Only then did I know that there are people outside, and then I understood my future situation. I just didn't expect that the vicious Sima Jiong actually sneaked up on him halfway, ready to intercept and kill him. Fortunately, Shen Ning was there, not only did the opponent's plot not succeed, but he also beheaded Nie Biao and broke Sima Jiong's arm. Well done, well done! "

"What the prince said is absolutely true. Shen Ning is indeed Li Yuanxiao's nephew. He is as brave and resourceful as him. In the future, if he cooperates with Li Yuanxiao, under their leadership, the Xuzhou soldiers and horses will be able to win every battle and deter foreign enemies." Jiang Xiao. praised.

But Jiang Xiao's words seemed to be compliments, but they had ulterior motives.To praise Shen Ning is to praise Shen Ning, why bother to mention Li Yuanxiao, so the implication is that the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou will be in their hands in the future.

So why can't Sima Yue think too much?

Jiang Xiao has followed Southeast King for so long, and he has already figured out his temper, so a few words can arouse Southeast King's suspicion.

In addition, news came back from the imperial capital that the emperor valued Shen Ning very much. He not only promoted Shen Ning to three levels, but also recruited him into the palace to receive him personally. When Jiang Xiao said this, it made the Southeast King suspicious again.

Sima Yue didn't say anything, and Jiang Xiao's intention had been realized, so he didn't say much.

Three days later, Shen Ning and Sima Haiyun finally returned to Pengcheng.

Sending Sima Haiyun back to the palace, Shen Ning also paid a visit to Sima Yue.

After Sima Yue praised Shen Ning, he rewarded him heavily, including a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, showing his full trust and attention.

Afterwards, Shen Ning left the palace and returned home.

Li Ru was waiting in front of the door, when he saw Shen Ning coming back, he hurriedly went up to meet him, and said with a smile, "Master, you have been traveling all the way, you have worked hard."

Shen Ning said with a smile: "Let Mr. worry about it."

The two entered the house and told each other what had happened during this period.

Basically, Shen Ning was talking and Li Ru was listening.Because during the time when Shen Ning left Pengcheng, no major events happened in Pengcheng, but many important things happened to Shen Ning in the imperial capital.

This conversation lasted until late at night.

The next day, Shen Ning went to visit Li's Mansion with the gift he brought back from the imperial capital.

Yu Meiqian said happily: "It's fine for people to come, and it's too expensive to bring so many gifts."

"This is some kindness from my nephew!" Shen Ning laughed.

Yu Meiqian asked about Yu Xuefei's situation again, and when she learned that someone from Yu's family had come to pick her up, Yu Meiqian felt relieved, then got up and left by herself, leaving space for Li Qingkong and Shen Ning.

There were only two people left in the hall. Shen Ning and Li Qingkong naturally understood Yu Meiqian's thoughts, but there seemed to be a gap between them, and they were still unable to meet honestly.

In addition, Li Qingkong's temperament is relatively cold, and he can't take the initiative to speak. Shen Ning has also passed the pure age of teasing girls with his mouth, so he sat down and sipped tea, and prepared to go back together.

What I didn't expect was that this time Li Qingkong actually took the initiative to speak: "I heard that you saved Princess Changle and was able to advance to the third level in a row?"

Shen Ning nodded, this was no secret.

"Be careful of Jiang Xiao from the Southeast Prince's Mansion. Not long ago, Zhang Xiu'er and I went to Dongfeng Restaurant for dinner. We accidentally saw him enter Dongfeng Restaurant. The person who met him seemed to be Sima Haiying." Li Qingkong introduced.

Shen Ning smiled and nodded, not surprised.

Although he left for a while, Li Ru has been staying in Pengcheng. Shen Ning's future plan is to rely on the power of the Southeast Palace to continue to grow stronger, so Li Ru must ensure that this process goes smoothly, and Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying are obstacles in the way.

So Li Ru kept watching the two of them. When chatting with Li Ru last night, Li Ru introduced that Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying should be working together.

Jiang Xiao originally looked down upon Ma Haiying, his boss, as a concubine, it was difficult for him to rise to the position.But since Wang Xiao and Yuchi attacked the Southeast Palace and Sima Haiyun took away the princess and Sima Yue, Jiang Xiao realized that Sima Haiyun didn't take him seriously.

Coupled with the fact that Shen Ning's position in Sima Haiyun is becoming more and more important, Jiang Xiao fully understands that once Sima Haiyun succeeds the king, he will be kicked out immediately.

That being the case, why not rely on others?

Although Sima Haiying is deep in the city and has a gloomy personality, Jiang Xiao still has the confidence to control him.

Facing Jiang Xiao's overtures, Sima Haiying immediately embraced Jiang Xiao as a foster father and called him godfather.

Li Ru had long guessed that the two would work together, and the targets they would deal with after the hookup were Shen Ning and Li Yuanxiao, especially Shen Ning, who was the primary enemy.Because Jiang Xiao understood that once Shen Ning was gone, what else would Sima Haiyun have besides his flesh?
"Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful." Shen Ning responded with a smile.

In the imperial capital, Shen Ning might have had to keep a low profile, but now that he was back in Pengcheng, he was back at home.It is not easy for Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying to deal with Shen Ning.

In addition, Shen Ning's next goal is not the two of them?

Li Qingkong nodded, and replied: "It seems that you already know it in your heart, that's right, my third uncle is extremely smart and resourceful, why didn't he remind you? Cousin, do you still remember that when you were eight years old, you went to Xiapi to visit relatives, Give me a present?"

Shen Ning was stunned, what the hell gift, his cousin was all fake, how could he know about the gift.

It seems that Li Qingkong has always suspected Shen Ning's identity, so she specially tested it. Moreover, this woman is also cunning. The questions she asked are not just one question, but a series of questions.

When he was eight years old, did the young master of the Shen family go to Xiapi to visit his relatives?This is a trap.

"Visiting relatives when I was eight years old? How come I don't have any memory at all." Shen Ning answered this question. You can pretend to be confused about this question, because it has been a long time, and it is possible that Shen Ning can't remember it.But if you say you forgot to give any gift, it is a side affirmation of visiting relatives.

Li Qingkong looked at Shen Ning, without much expression on her beautiful face, and replied, "Forget it if you can't remember."

"Among the gifts I brought just now, I have carefully selected some for you. I hope you will like them. It's getting late, I should go to the barracks to have a look." Shen Ning stood up and said goodbye, lest Li Qingkong make another tricky trick Problem, it seems that I will come to Li Mansion less often in the future.

Li Qingkong watched Shen Ning leave, and then frowned.

"He's too cunning, and he can't find out at all. Hey, are you willing to tell auntie your real identity and avoid me like a snake, because you are afraid that I will frame you?"

At this moment, annoyance appeared on her clear face.
