Chapter 29

"Okay! Okay!"

Li Yuanxiao hid his excitement and stopped the contest between Shen Ning and the guards.

The two closed their moves, Shen Ning cupped his hands to signal, and the guard bowed and retreated in admiration, completely convinced by the defeat.

Shen Ning handed over the spear to the servants of the Li family, took a peek at Li Yuanxiao, saw the excitement in his eyes, and knew that the other party had taken the bait, and then it was up to the other party to ask questions.

Everyone returned to the hall. Yu Meiqian became more and more satisfied with Shen Ning and wished she could marry her daughter to him now.

Li Yuanxiao saw the opportunity and asked: "Liu Shu, your marksmanship looks very good. Who did you learn it from?"

Shen Ning said with a smile: "My martial art is learned from a ranger, and so is marksmanship."

"Oh? Really? The other party has such superb marksmanship, he is definitely not an unknown person, do you know the other party's name?" Li Yuanxiao asked.

Shen Ning began to show off his acting skills. He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's embarrassing to say that I have been with him for more than half a year and practiced martial arts with him every day. But I only know his surname is Xu, but I don't know his first name. He came to Qingzhou to find someone. , and asked me to help find a young man about my age. Qingzhou is so big, and he had no specific clues, so the search was fruitless. Later, he left Qingzhou and said he was coming to Xuzhou. This time when he came to Xuzhou, I also I was wondering if I could meet him.”

Li Yuanxiao quickly asked: "The surname is Xu? Are you sure?"

Shen Ning nodded and said, "Yes, I overheard him calling himself. By the way, he seems to have a blood feud, so he didn't want to reveal his name for fear of incriminating me. I remember when I followed him to practice martial arts, it was mid-April, remember One day, he was paying homage to a person, crying very sadly, saying that men don’t flick their tears easily, but they haven’t reached the place where they are sad.”

April [-]th was the day when Shen Ning's father, Shen Lie, died in battle.

Hearing Shen Ning's description, Li Yuanxiao froze, and the wine cup in his hand was directly crushed.

His eyes suddenly turned red, but he quickly recovered with strong self-control, and said: "It seems that there is someone with a story, I don't know if the person he is looking for has been found?"

Shen Ning shook his head and expressed ignorance, and did not continue with the design because he was afraid of arousing Li Yuanxiao's suspicion.

And it was enough for now, let Li Yuanxiao take the initiative to guess that his master is Xu Qishang, and at the same time let him understand that Shen Lie's son is probably in Xuzhou.Coupled with the pictures hidden in his study before, I believe Li Yuanxiao would mistakenly think that they were the pictures Xu Qishang gave him.

This is just the beginning, Shen Ning has other plans, and only after they are linked together can he find out whether Li Yuanxiao is good or bad.Shen Ning can only reveal his identity if he is sure that there is no problem.

It's no wonder that Shen Ning is too careful, after all, he is the son of a traitor, and Shen Ning doesn't want to be wanted by the world.

Li Qingkong on the side looked at her father, being able to crush the wine cup already explained the problem.Her eyes moved on Shen Ning and her father, and a trace of doubt appeared on her calm face.

The family dinner lasted very late, and Shen Ning also drank a lot of wine. He really couldn't refuse Yu Meiqian's kindness, so he stayed at the Li Mansion. Anyway, the Li Mansion was a big house with many empty rooms.

After washing up, Shen Ning was about to rest when there was a sudden knock on the door.

After opening it, it turned out to be Yu Xuefei.

"Why is Miss Yu here, please come in." Shen Ning stretched out his hand to invite.

Yu Xuefei snorted: "Lonely man and widow, how could I enter your room! I can't beat you, what if you have bad intentions."

Shen Ning sighed with regret, covered her chest and said, "Xue Fei, we are already close to each other. What you said makes me so sad."

"Ah, shut up!" Yu Xuefei yelled angrily and threatened: "I came to you to warn you that what happened in the carriage that day is not allowed to be told to anyone. If anyone else knows, I will , I won’t let you go anyway.”

"Oh, you reminded me very timely. I will go to my aunt now and explain our affairs clearly." Shen Ning left after speaking.

Yu Xuefei felt that she was about to be driven crazy, this guy didn't play cards according to common sense at all, so she begged: "It's okay if I made a mistake, don't mess around, if you say it, it won't be good for you."

"Then be more honest in the future, don't target me if you have nothing to do, or don't blame me for being fast-talking." Shen Ning laughed.

Yu Xuefei bit her lip and nodded. If she had known this would be the result, she shouldn't have come now.

"It's getting late, why don't you walk slowly, or come in?" Shen Ning said with a smile.

Yu Xuefei threw a porcelain vase to Shen Ning, and then ran away.

Shen Ning picked up the porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it, it turned out to be a good medicine for sores.

"This little girl has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

"In addition, the rumors have already spread. If it is not stopped, it will become worse and worse. It's time for the head of Pengcheng to come forward."

Shen Ning clenched the porcelain bottle tightly, and waited for the next good show to take place.

It was as expected by Shen Ning.

In the early morning of the next day, when Shen Ning was practicing marksmanship, Li Yuanxiao unexpectedly came to teach Shen Ning personally, which benefited Shen Ning a lot and corrected many awkward places.

With a famous teacher guiding me, I made rapid progress.

After practicing marksmanship, Li Yuanxiao said: "Liu Shu, after breakfast, you follow me out to the Southeast Palace."

"Southeast Palace? Uncle Li, what are you doing there?" Shen Ning pretended to be surprised.

Li Yuanxiao said with a smile: "Last time you and Xuefei were assassinated, and Xuefei was a distinguished guest from Yangzhou. The assassin has not been caught yet, so the prince will intervene in person. When you get there, just tell the truth about what happened. I'm here, don't worry."

"Nephew understands." Shen Ning nodded.

After eating, Shen Ning followed Li Yuanxiao out of the mansion and headed for the Southeast Palace.

The residence of the Southeast King Sima Yue is located in the center of the south of the city. It is a huge garden and is heavily guarded.As the king of Xuzhou, Sima Yue is the emperor of Tu, but I heard that he is not in good health.

Because of following Li Yunxiao, Shen Ning entered the palace unhindered, but all the flying knives and daggers on his body were searched away, leaving Shen Ning feeling empty.

When I came to a reception teahouse, I didn't expect that there were already people drinking tea inside, and one of them was an acquaintance, and it was Taoist Xuanji.

Seeing Daoist Xuanji, Li Yuanxiao's face turned cold, his eyes moved away from him, and fell on another middle-aged man, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord Wang."

The man smiled and said, "General Li, you are being polite."

Shen Ning immediately knew that this middle-aged man was Wang Beixuan's father and Xuzhou's state shepherd.

Although Xuanjizi is a celestial master, he has no official position, so he took the initiative to stand up and pay his respects: "Poverty Xuanjizi pays respects to General Li! I haven't seen you for many years, but General Li is still brave and mighty."

Li Yuanxiao sneered and said: "So it's you, I didn't recognize you just now. You're not hiding in the imperial capital, what are you doing here in Pengcheng? Could it be that you came to kill me because you saw that I messed up your way of heaven?"

"How would you dare to be poor? General Li guards the military affairs of a state. He loves soldiers like sons. He is a model general and a good general of the Jin Dynasty. Someone dares to offend General Li. This is the first time that Pindao disagrees." Xuanjizi disagreed in front of Li Yuanxiao. Dare to entrust big.

Li Yuanxiao saw his face in his eyes, stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, and did not continue to say anything.

The four of them worked together for a while, and the steward of the palace came to invite them, and the four of them moved to the study room to meet Sima Yue, the king of the southeast.

The four of them entered an elegant and spacious study room. Southeast King Sima Yue stayed in the screen, coughing non-stop. As expected, he was infected with the disease as rumored.

Sima Yue did not come out, but directly ordered through the screen: "The king called you here today, there are two things. First, the assassin in the city assassinated Miss Yu's family. The assassin has not been found so far. How does this king explain to the seniors of the Yu family? It happened that Yuan Xiao brought the young man who repelled the assassin that day, so he can talk about the situation at that time, so that it will be easier to hunt down. The second thing is about the rumors in the city."

Sima Yue's tone was slightly weak and lacked energy, but the majesty in his words was undeniable.
