Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chapter 242 Leaving Changsha - Part

[Deployment of the official residence]

Chu Ning sat on the balcony outside the study with his chin in his hand. When Zhang Qishan approached, he saw a figure behind the curtains.

Zhang Qishan paused, turned back to his room, got a coat, and covered Chu Ning's head directly with it.

“Avoid exposure to cold wind until you are fully recovered.

The Second Master and his wife both asked me why you looked so bad.

Zhang Qishan looked at Chu Ning, who was curled up in the armchair, with suspicion and scrutiny.

Chu Ning pulled his coat up and wrapped it around himself, raised his head, and avoided talking about other things, "When did Master Buddha become so elusive?

It’s scary.”

Chu Ning muttered the last sentence in a low voice, but Zhang Qishan had sharp ears and still heard it.

Seeing that the child was avoiding the question, Zhang Qishan felt a little itchy, but knowing that Chu Ning always knew his limits, he did not continue to press the issue.

“Take care of yourself.

Things will be a little bit unstable in the near future, and we may need to leave Changsha for a while."

Zhang Qishan said this in a very natural manner, without any emotion fluctuation, but his sharp eyes were looking into the dark night.

“I will be back.”

Chu Ning spoke softly, tilting his head back and shaking it, a look of certainty on his face.

Zhang Qishan lowered his eyes and saw the child's serious expression. He knew that the child was worried about him.

I was worried that there would be a gap in my heart, and I would fall from the top of power to the bottom of the valley.

Even if I lost my position as the Changsha Defense Officer, I was still the Nine Gates Admiral...

"I'll be back, for sure."

Zhang Qishan made a promise to Chu Ning.

In fact, Zhang Qishan did not think that he had lost because he was forced to resign from his official position by Lu Jianxun.

On the contrary, all forces in Changsha are now floating underwater. Instead of falling into the water and getting involved in a scandal, it is better to jump out of this muddy pool.

However, if he left, those people would surface and fight against Lu Jianxun.

When I come back again, it will be time to close the net.

Chu Ning looked at Zhang Qishan with his eyes reflecting the starlight, and spoke again, "I believe in Master Buddha, Master Eight, Master Two, and the adjutant must think so too."

Zhang Qishan raised his lips and said, "Thank you for your trust. I will live up to your expectations."

Chu Ning sniffed twice, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes, and deeper worries weighed on his heart.

"It's just a pity for Master Jiu. After going out to sea, when he came back, he found that Changsha---had changed."

Zhang Qishan moved the corner of his mouth and put a hand on Chu Ning's shoulder. He felt that Chu Ning was like a little old man and was thinking too much.

But this action made people feel comforted. Chu Ning really remembered all the people who were good to him.

"Master Jiu, don't worry about it.

Whether it is Lu Jianxun or the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, they are lucky not to run into him."

Zhang Qishan slowly told the truth. Chu Ning rubbed his neck and muttered again.

"I told you all to hold back your strength. In the end, I was the only one fighting to the death..."

Zhang Qishan patted the child on the back with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, it's not your fault.

I won't let you take risks anymore, go and have a rest."

Chu Ning was startled and turned his head mechanically, and saw Zhang Qishan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Damn, everyone heard this...

"Haha, it's okay!

It's okay!

“Nothing! Da!”

Chu Ning handed the coat to Zhang Qishan and fled the scene.

Seeing Chu Ning's face becoming less pale because of his joke, Zhang Qishan's expression relaxed.

Looking down at my palms, I decided not to hit my children next time...

It feels like Chu Ning is in a state of trauma...

Chu Ning returned to the bedroom, locked the door, then quickly walked to the bed, picked up the pillow and buried his face in it.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The suppressed cough was diluted by the soft pillow, and the occasional sporadic sound was well controlled by Chu Ning.

After a long time, Chu Ning raised his head, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were bloodless.

Chu Ning stood up, his body swayed slightly twice, and he walked slowly towards the window. He opened the window and felt the gradually approaching breath in the moonlight.

Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, Chenpi climbed in through the window nimbly, and his movements became more and more skillful and smooth.

Chu Ning's eyes jumped as he watched Chen Pi's smooth movements. Could this guy have also rummaged through other people's bedrooms like this? ? ?

Chenpi did not come empty-handed this time, but brought a jar.

When Chen Pi was about to hand over the thing he had been protecting all the way to Chu Ning, he met Chu Ning's gaze of disgust and inquiry.

Chenpi paused, thinking that he seemed to have done... nothing recently?

Maybe……

Then Chenpi suddenly realized, why did he think so much? !

No matter what is done or not, when will it be this little brat's turn to take care of it!

With a cold face, he handed the soup pot in his hand to Chu Ning, and his words were still sharp.

"The last time I came, I saw you were about to die. I asked someone to do this."

Chu Ning sniffed it and then frowned. Isn't this the medicinal food he drinks every day?

Chen Pi slapped Chu Ning on the forehead without saying a word, physically preventing Chu Ning from frowning.

"What are you frowning for?

Doctors are willing to prescribe prescriptions only when they are paid a large sum of money.”

Chu Ning opened his mouth, but finally started drinking it spoonful by spoonful obediently.

Seeing that Chu Ning was very obedient, the gloom in Chen Pi's eyes gradually dissipated.

"By the way, Tanaka Ryoko was handed over to Lu Jianxun as you said."

Chu Ning nodded, looked up and saw confusion in Chenpi's eyes, put down the spoon, moved the earthen jar further away, and then spoke.

“Behind Tanaka Ryoko is Jude Kao, and behind both of them is mainly the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

As a government officer in charge of Changsha, Lu Jianxun was not hostile to them, but he was destined not to be on the same side as them.

You handed Tanaka Ryoko over to Lu Jianxun as soon as you caught her.

First, you have supported Lu Jianxun in action and he is the only manager of Changsha now;

Second, Qiu Dekao bypassed Lu Jianxun and went to find the Second Master, which shows that their alliance is not solid.

Needless to say, once they meet, they will be sarcastic and mocking, and will no longer work together with their full strength.

Finally~"

As Chu Ning spoke, he looked up at Chenpi, then looked away and his voice became softer.

“In the end, you took me out of prison, and I was the one who appeared next to Mr. Buddha.

Lu Jianxun is already suspicious of you, and I am afraid that Lu Jianxun will "get rid of you when you are done with your work", so this is also a sign of your surrender to him."

Chen Pi was stunned. He never thought that this little brat actually thought so much about him. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Chu Ning rubbed his arms and said, "I know you are touched, but don't be moved yet.

If you want to laugh, practice holding chopsticks first, otherwise it will be really scary~"

Chu Ning stuck out his tongue after he finished speaking. Chen Pi's emotion disappeared completely. He clenched his fist and heard the sound of bones...

Chu Ning quickly shrank his head, "Chenpi~Are you particularly free?"

Chen Pi was still holding back his anger, and when Chu Ning asked him this, he immediately became unhappily.

"Leave me alone!"

Chu Ning was not afraid of Chen Pi's attitude. He could feel that Chen Pi was just irritated, not really angry.

"Why else do you come to me every time to report on the progress?"

"you!"

Chenpi clenched his fists this time. Chu Ning quickly moved away and continued to sip the soup from the pot while holding the pot.

Seeing that Chu Ning still looked unhappy, Chen Pi suppressed the urge to hit him.

A punch hit the table, Chu Ning's eyelashes trembled, and he secretly glanced at Chenpi.

Chen Pi wanted to kill someone at this moment.

“Um… Chenpi, don’t be angry!

I was just joking.

I am very happy that you can come to discuss these things with me, and I hope to visit you again next time! "

Chu Ning reached out and grabbed the corner of Chen Pi's clothes, shaking it, and stroked Chen Pi's anger.

Chen Pi glanced at Chu Ning coldly and said, "If you make me angry, I will really kill you."

Then he turned around and jumped out of the window.

Chu Ning smiled after hearing this, "Okay, okay~

Thank you, Mr. Chen Si, for not killing me!"

The sound faded into the wind as the night fell. Chen Pi paused and cursed.

"Fool."

The sound was so soft that it was barely audible, but it made Chen Pi's anger completely dissipate...
