I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Ji Yuanshan's backyard.

Those under the age of fifteen from the Ji family who have slightly better martial arts qualifications are here now.

These teenagers stood in a row, looking a little confused.

Because they don't know why the patriarch let them stand here.

On the pavilion across the pool, Chu Ning and Ji Yuanshan were sitting here.

"Uncle, we need to train him from an early age."

Chu Ning glanced at these young men, and his eyes fell on Ji Yuanshan.

He originally thought that Ji Yuanshan would choose an adult tribesman, but he didn't expect that he would choose a boy who was not yet sixteen years old.

Ji Yuanshan, you have a long-term vision.

"Martial masters are also divided into seventh, eighth and ninth grades." Ji Yuanshan replied with a smile without concealing his purpose.

Since Chu Ning's future growth has been bet, it is natural to select the best seedlings in the clan, not only to become a martial artist, but also to go up.

Ji Yuanshan, who is a martial artist himself, knows very well that most warriors from poor families stop at the eighth and ninth ranks, and a few can reach the seventh rank. As for breaking through the generals, it is almost impossible.

Is it true that the martial arts talents of warriors from poor families are not as good as those of the children of big families?

No, the real reason is that the foundation was not laid properly in the initial stage.

The children of the big family take some elixirs before they start practicing martial arts. These elixirs are stored in the body, and their effects will explode once they start practicing martial arts. This is the foundation.

Like their Ji family, although they also lay the foundation for their children, their money is limited and they cannot afford such pills, so they are already one step behind.

"What's the name of the third boy on the left?"

Ji Yuanshan glanced at him and said, "This child's name is Ji Bannian. He is the grandson of Ji Yang's third grandfather."

"Just him."

Chu Ning would select Ji for half a year, not because he saw the opponent's martial arts qualifications, but those who could make Ji Yuanshan call here to show him are the ones with the best martial arts qualifications in the Ji family.

I simply think that he looks more pleasing to the eye than other teenagers, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes make him look naive.

Chu Ning felt a little emotional, this was somewhat similar to the scene when her old aunt took her to Huang Zhongtai's mansion.

For the young man, this will be an important opportunity to change his destiny, but for him, it is just because it is pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, then I'll ask him to come over."

"Uncle, are you really not afraid of being implicated by me?"

Chu Ning called out to Ji Yuanshan, "There is no need to let him come to see me. Let's wait until he breaks through the martial arts master in the school. This is safer for the Ji family. I will send some pills after I return to the military camp."

Ji Yuanshan pondered for a moment and didn't force it anymore, because what Chu Ning said made sense.

He bet on Chu Ning's future, but now Chu Ning is still facing the pursuit of the Wushuang Sect. It is indeed the best choice to prevent Ji's family from having too much contact with Chu Ning.

"I have something to tell you. Chief Liu is touring various towns. Maybe he will go to Jijia Town this afternoon."

Although Ji Yuanshan didn't know that Liu Junshan and Chu Ning were masters and apprentices, he had learned from his nephew that Chu Ning and Liu Junshan had a very good relationship.

Except for the inspection of various towns when he took office, Chief Liu never visited the towns again. However, Chu Ning started to inspect again when he came back, which made him have to think more.

"Thank you uncle for reminding me, I understand."

Chu Ning nodded. Smart people are good at talking, and some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

…

…

Daning County.

Liu Junshan left the city with a few arrests and some fast officers.

"Uncle Master, should we follow him? Liu Junshan hasn't left the city for a long time."

In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant across the street from the patrol house, four men were sitting, and the one talking was the young man by the window.

"Don't worry, if there is really something fishy, ​​Liu Junshan will definitely have to test it out first." Hua Jingkuan said with a meaningful smile.

He is the deacon of the Wushuang Sect and a fourth-grade military general. He did not go to Daning County at first, but no trace of Chu Ning was found for so long, and the third elder was very dissatisfied.

The third elder was dissatisfied. As a confidant of the third elder, he naturally could not remain indifferent, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to Daning County.

In his opinion, it was impossible to find Chu Ning like looking for a needle in a haystack. Chu Ning must be hiding in some remote place.

The only way to make Chu Ning show up is to capture Chu Ning's relatives and force him to show up.

Chu Ning's parents are gone. According to the investigation, the only relative left is an old aunt. Chu Ning was raised by his old aunt. It is not too much to say that they depend on each other for life.

As long as old aunt Chu Ning is caught, Chu Ning will definitely show up.

And his intuition told him that Chu Ning's old aunt must still be in Daning County.

With an old man, Chu Ning would never be able to escape.

Originally, the people at the door couldn't find Chu Ning's old aunt, because they thought they would be able to catch Chu Ning, so they didn't pay attention to this matter. Now, after a month of investigation, he found some clues.

It wasn't that he found Chu Ning's old aunt, but that he discovered that Daning County Chief Liu Junshan had an unusual relationship with Chu Ning.

This was what he learned from the handyman when he went to the school to investigate Chu Ning's detailed information.

Originally, he wanted to arrest Liu Junshan directly for torture. A chief executive was nothing to Wushuangmen, so he didn't take it seriously. However, when he investigated Liu Junshan, he discovered that the Chen family was standing behind Liu Junshan.

Liu Junshan's wife is from the Chen family. The most important thing is that Liu Junshan's eldest brother-in-law Chen Jingwu is deeply loved by several elders of the Chen family, which makes him take action.

After all, Daning County is the territory of the Chen family. The Chen family allowed them to pursue Chu Ning for the sake of the third elder. But if they attack Liu Junshan based on just a word from the handyman, the Chen family will definitely intervene.

If there is really something fishy about Liu Junshan's inspection this time, it won't appear from the beginning. If you follow him in a hurry, you will easily alert him.

…

…

After patrolling four towns in a row, Liu Junshan was about to walk towards the fifth town when he suddenly heard people talking on the roadside.

"What a patrol, it's just a formality."

"That's right, I see that the Chief is obviously absent-minded. I really thought that Chief Liu was here to make decisions for us people. Fortunately, I didn't file a lawsuit against Xue."

"Officials protecting each other are all the same thing."

The words of these common people made Liu Junshan suddenly wake up. He wanted to see Chu Ning so much that he had lost his sense of proportion.

If someone from Wushuangmen follows him, he will definitely be able to find the flaw.

If he went to see Chu Ning, he might expose Chu Ning.

At this moment, Liu Junshan had an idea and disappeared from his disciple.

The next town is Jijia Town. You still have to go there. If you leave Jijia Town alone and don't go, it will also make people from Wushuang Sect suspicious.

Half an hour later, Liu Junshan led people to Jijia Town.

In this kind of family town, there is no arrest. The person responsible for the jurisdiction of Jijia Town is Ji Yuanshan, the head of the Ji family.

But Ji Yuanshan did not show up. What stood at the entrance of the town to greet him was an old man from the Ji family.

"General, please forgive me. The clan leader has contracted the cold and is unable to see guests. I specifically asked this old man to receive the chief on his behalf."

It is inconvenient to see guests.

Liu Junshan instantly understood that this was the message Chu Ning had conveyed to him. It seemed that his disciple also felt that this was not a good time for the two to meet.

…

…

Ji family courtyard.

Chu Ning never went out. He knew that the teacher was outside, but now was not the time to meet the teacher.

It's not that he's afraid of the Wushuang Sect's people here, but that he can kill the Wushuang Sect's disciples in other states, but the ones here in Daning County can't be touched for the time being.

Killing those in Daning County will only bring in more powerful disciples from the Wushuang Sect. In this case, it is better to let these people continue to stay in Daning County.

"Teacher, it won't be long before the disciple can meet you."

Chu Ning murmured and his expression returned to normal.

Three days later, Chu Ning ushered in another new year.

Time has entered Chu Ning's sixth year.

In the first month of this year, there is no more viewing of lanterns, no more going to temples to burn incense, and no more going to Taoist temples to ask for fortune-telling.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Chu Ning entered the city and went to Liu Da's courtyard.

The old aunt sat quietly in the yard. In just half a year, the old man not only lost a lot of weight, but the wrinkles on his face also became deeper.

"Grandma, the lanterns on the street are so beautiful today. I wanted to take grandma to see them on the street, but dad said that grandma is not in good health and can't walk around, so I asked dad to buy a lantern. Grandma, do you think this lantern looks good?"

A little child about five years old ran into the yard with short legs and a beautiful lantern.

The old aunt took the lantern with a smile and said with a smile: "It's beautiful. This lantern is so beautiful."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes seemed to be filled with wind and sand, and he rubbed them with his hands.

Chu Ning stood in the darkness of the corner and couldn't help cursing in her heart: "These lantern makers don't have any creativity. They just use the same kind of lanterns every year."

Last year, he and his old aunt went shopping and bought a lantern like this.

The old aunt misses people after seeing things.

In the end, Chu Ning still didn't choose to meet her old aunt.

There was no risk in meeting the old aunt, but the key was that he was afraid that the old lady would lose her breath after seeing him.

Chu Ning didn't see Liu Da either, so he placed a thousand-tael silver note on Liu Da's bedroom table.

Liu Da took good care of his old aunt. The old aunt was thin because of her age and because of her heart disease.

He doesn't see his old aunt, but Liu Da will guess that he is back when he sees the banknote, and he will definitely tell his old aunt. This is a shot in the arm for her.

Liu Da is not Liu Yun, he is a gangster, a well-rounded person who knows how to spend the money without attracting others' attention.

…

…

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lieutenant Ji returned to the military camp.

On the 20th of the first lunar month, Ji Yang arrived at the military camp. The three-month training and selection of the Marksman Battalion was not over yet.

Chu Ning asked for leave from his superiors to prepare for a trip to the capital, and was approved.

Chu Ning exchanged two thousand military merit for two bottles of Yunli Dan.

This is the best elixir available to a martial artist, at least the best elixir one can get in exchange for military merit.

According to the agreement with Ji Yuanshan, Chu Ning sent these two bottles of pills back.

Pack your bags and enter Beijing.

Chu Ning was not the only one who entered the capital, but also several other captains in the army.

In this war with the Routu Kingdom, many captains also made military exploits. Now that the war is over, the court will also award them.

As the only lieutenant who did not break through to the generals, Chu Ning kept a low profile along the way, riding at the back, and the lieutenants did not take Chu Ning seriously.

The first is because they look down on Chu Ning's strength, and the second is because these people know that Chu Ning has practiced the Blood Burning Technique, and may have been able to reach this point by burning decades of life.

The potential is like this, it will be difficult to break through to the military commander in this life.

Although Chu Ning does not seem to be very old from the outside, the warrior is less than forty years old, and his appearance remains normal as a youth, with rich energy and blood.

How could a person who had risen to the top by relying on Tiancan Kung Fu be valued by these people who had come up one step at a time?

At this moment, Chu Ning somewhat understood Huang Zhongtai. Although he became the heir to the family head, there were probably a lot of unconvinced clan members.

Although no one paid attention to him, following this group of captains was not fruitless. At least listening to these people's eloquent talks along the way, he also gained a better understanding of the strength of the royal family.

The four generals in the army are all Grandmasters, and Qi Xue's uncle, General Feng, was a Grandmaster ten years ago. He is the youngest one and is only a third-grade Grandmaster. The most powerful general in the army is General Chen. Entered the first level realm.

It took three days and the journey was uneventful to arrive in the capital.

"Colleagues, I have not been home for three years, so I will go home today, and we will meet again another day."

"Brother Liao has a lovely wife at home, and we have to go home too."

These captains were all loyal to the imperial court and already had residences in the capital. They said goodbye to each other and were about to leave.

From the beginning to the end, these people paid no attention to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning was happy and at ease. After entering the city, he headed towards the military hall that provides accommodation for soldiers.

When he arrived at the military hall, he showed his token, and the people from the military hall immediately arranged a room for Chu Ning, but Chu Ning could also see the surprise of these people from the expression.

It is estimated that this military hall has not hosted anyone of the rank of captain. Even if a captain does not have a house in the capital, he will live in the homes of other captains, or if he can't, he will live in a restaurant.

Living in a military hall has somewhat reduced prices.

But for Chu Ning, living in the military hall is the best choice. The military hall is safe and deserted, and he will not encounter any troubles such as the second generation of the powerful people in the capital. Before entering the royal library, he does not want to have too much trouble. Many extraneous branches.

But sometimes the less you want something to come, the more it will come.

Chu Ning was resting in his separate courtyard, and there were footsteps and quarrels coming from outside the wall.

"I stay here every time I come to this compound. I want to see who dares to compete with me for a room."

The next moment, a rough-looking man with a beard and a beard kicked open the door. When he saw Chu Ning standing in the yard and the captain's military uniform Chu Ning was wearing, his pupils shrank.

"Sir, I went to the wrong room and disturbed your rest. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the man turned around and left.

"Did I let you go?"

Chu Ning squinted her eyes. There was always someone who didn't want to keep herself clean, but she just didn't know who was standing behind this person.

Since he was a captain, it was impossible for the military personnel not to inform the man, but the man chose to retreat after seeing the clothes on his body. There were only two possibilities.

One is that the military hall did not say it on purpose, and the other is that the man did it on purpose.

The army is very hierarchical. If I let this person leave like this, I am afraid that I will become a joke in the army.

"Sir, Colonel, I just went to the wrong room. I also apologized to you."

When Chu Ning stopped him, there was no respect in the man's words. This made Chu Ning even more sure that the other party did it on purpose. He just didn't know who was standing behind this man?

Who wants to target yourself?

"Slap yourself with three big mouths and leave, or let me do it myself. If the captain takes action, it will not be as simple as three big mouths."
