"you……"

"Thank you, Master Guoshi for your advice, and I will definitely remember the teachings of Master Guoshi!" Cheng Wei was about to explode, Cheng Ning immediately took his hand, nodded respectfully and said.

"Well, look, your father knows more than you, and you learn more like your father!" Liang Hongzhang was very satisfied with Cheng Ning's attitude, and he preached to Cheng Wei, who dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and did not put Cheng Wei, who was threatening to show his claws, at all. In the eyes, then turned around and walked to the upper seat with other people!

"Huh..." Cheng Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

"I'm sorry to trouble you!" Yeluqi said apologetically to Cheng Ning a few steps before walking over with the people in front, "You understand that I don't like such things either, so I was a little sloppy all night, and I feel much better after seeing you. It was the first time I saw you wearing this outfit, and I thought it looked good, so I couldn't help but say something, you..."Don't mind" these words, Yeluqi saw that Cheng Ning's expression was very bad at this moment, and he couldn't say anything when his face was very pale. In the end, he could only nod to the two of them apologetically. Under Cheng Wei's angry eyes, he had to turn around and walk to the upper seat. went.

"That Yeluqi did it on purpose and sincerity!" Cheng Wei angrily helped Cheng Ning to sit down and said angrily.

Ever since Liang Hongzhang stepped into this lobby, the invisible pressure that Cheng Ning had been feeling had finally disappeared after this short episode just now. He whispered: "Okay, don't worry about it, it's nothing, don't take it to heart, Brother Qi doesn't like such occasions either!"

"You just trust people too much!" Cheng Wei said angrily!

Cheng Ning didn't take it to heart at all, but...the two of them at this moment couldn't imagine that what Cheng Wei said casually at this moment, turned out to be a sentence that echoed in Cheng Ning's mind countless times...

Throughout the dinner, Cheng Ning was absent-minded and his nerves were tense all the time. He was more tense than ever before. It was almost as if he was sitting on pins and needles!

Cheng Wei, who was sitting next to Cheng Ning, kept it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, and kept telling Cheng Ning funny things, but the effect was still not obvious, making Cheng Wei's delicate brows furrowed fiercely. He didn't know what was going on, but he was keenly aware that something was wrong with Cheng Ning since he received the invitation post tonight's banquet. He was always absent-minded and preoccupied. Not Captain Cheng.

The banquet was halfway through, Cheng Wei looked around, and found that the atmosphere gradually began to extend to those meaningless things behind, Cheng Wei decisively wanted to take Cheng Ning away, but Cheng Ning refused, and lowered his eyebrows at him Try to calmly say: "It's okay, I just go out to get some air, you are here, don't follow, otherwise, the two of us will leave together, others will misunderstand that we left, this is very bad, the host has no Let's go, how can we leave as guests?"

"But……"

"It's okay, I'll be back right away, don't follow me!" Cheng Ning stood up as he spoke, trying his best to avoid the eyes of those sitting above him, and quickly walked out through the door on one side.

Cheng Ning, who drank a few more glasses in the cold night wind, was in a daze. He vaguely saw many soldiers in the surrounding snow. Cheng Ning's spirit suddenly woke up. He knew these things. It was the army brought back by Liang Hongzhang to protect him, but facing these soldiers, Cheng Ning couldn't help but think of the time when he was searched and searched by such people, and felt even more uncomfortable. He really didn't want to go back, but he had to go back !

Avoiding people's eyes, Cheng Ning stood in the ice and snow for about a quarter of an hour before he had to turn around and go back to the banquet. When he went back, Cheng Wei grabbed his hand and took him to look carefully at it again. Look, after confirming that he was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you come in one step later, I will really go out to find you. Don't do this next time!"

"Yeah!" Cheng Ning went out and thought a lot, and his spirit improved a lot, and finally he went back home with Cheng Wei after the banquet was over.

On New Year's Eve, after a while, Cheng Ning fell asleep exhaustedly. Before falling asleep, Cheng Ning silently made a New Year's wish: I hope everyone can still be together and live a good life...

In the end, I fell asleep drowsily!

And what happened the next day made Cheng Ning think that the timing of the wish he made at that time was probably wrong, otherwise...why did everything that happened next directly break the tranquility of his border town for more than ten years? Suddenly, Cheng Ning realized that the past ten years were nothing more than a dream, a time spent only with Cheng Wei was a real dream, a... Mu Jinqian The peace gained for him.

Every year on New Year's Eve, Cheng Ning is used to going to bed late and getting up late the next day.

However, this year, it has been broken, and it has become late to bed and early to rise!

In the early morning of the next day, just after the dawn of the genius, and as soon as he could see the figure clearly, Cheng Ning was rushed into the room by Wen Jing in a panic and shouted. Looking at him, he said, "My lord, come with me, someone is coming to arrest you!"

"Huh? What? What's going on?" Cheng Ning's drowsiness disappeared immediately. He stood up and looked at Wen Jing who was in a panic because he found that he didn't say anything when he pulled up and immediately followed him. Then he turned around and went to pack his things. Cheng Ning Ning glanced blankly at the bright light outside the window, and said helplessly to Wen Jing: "What happened? What are you panicking about? You..."

"It's too late, let's go first, the people of the city lord's mansion are going to attack you!" Wen Jing said with a changed face, and for a while in the dimly lit room, he didn't even know how to clean up the mess, because he never thought about it. , Young master will leave here one day?

"Huh? What's going on? I..."

"Bam—"

When Cheng Ning asked Wen Jing in surprise, the door was pushed open vigorously. The two people in the room looked and saw Cheng Wei walking in in a neat dress. When he saw the man on the bed, Cheng Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the panicked person beside him, "Calm down, you are here to find fault, you are here to protect my father, and I will deal with it!" Cheng Wei said He walked in front of Cheng Ning. At this moment, he completely forgot that he was Cheng Ning's son. He raised his hand and touched Cheng Ning's cheek. He raised his thin lips and said, "Wait for me here, don't come out. I'll deal with it, if it's all right, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, I won't let anyone hurt a single hair of your hair!"

"Wei'er, what happened?" Cheng Ning asked with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing!" Cheng Wei said with a smile, he had already stood up straight, and said to Cheng Ning: "It's just that the City Lord's Mansion is looking for trouble, you can just wait here for me, I'll get rid of it, you are obedient!"

After Cheng Wei finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, and Cheng Ning saw something that Cheng Wei had left by the door when he entered. It was...his saber "Dark Cloud".

"Wei'er..." Cheng Ning panicked and said involuntarily, "Wait, don't..." Squeak!" The door closed without mercy, blocking what Cheng Ning was about to say. Ning was stunned, and then felt that things were a bit complicated: "Wen Jing, what happened? "Cheng Ning said as he got off the bed, dressed quickly, and said sharply with a cold face: "Tell me everything without missing a word!" "

"My lord..." Wen Jing, after the panic, was annoyed at his lack of confidence. Hearing Cheng Ning's words, he said helplessly. Wen Jing sighed and had to say: "Forget it, I lost my temper just now and caused you to panic. Now that the young master already knows, it should be fine to tell the young master..."

"So, what happened?" Cheng Ning asked coldly: "What's the matter with the people of the City Lord's Mansion? Why did they come to our Mu Mansion? What's the matter? Did they come to look for me? Or... what do you want to do to Wei'er?"

For a while, Cheng Ning had already thought of various possibilities quickly, but no matter which possibility, Cheng Ning felt that he had to go!

"The city lord's mansion is out, there was a murder case last night!"

Wen Jing's words made Cheng Ning suddenly turn his head to look at him, and said in shock, "What? What's going on here?"

Putting back the mess he made in his panic, Wen Jing personally took care of Cheng Ning's changing clothes and hair. After calming down, he also began to think and frowned and said: "It is said that a servant died in their family last night. , or Young Master Liang Hui's servant!"

"They suspect that they are from our Mu Zhai?" Cheng Ning was surprised.

"No!" Wen Jingshen took a deep breath, and said to the handsome Cheng Ning in front of him, "They say you are a murderer, son, so now the people from the City Lord's Mansion are here to ask for someone!"

"Why do they suspect me?" Cheng Ning said angrily without losing his mind: "Why do you just call me the murderer? This..."

"Because..." Looking at Cheng Ning's thoughtful expression, Wen Jing had to say, "They have enough evidence!"

"What evidence?"

"It is said that the servant was nailed to death on the wall, and a magic circle was drawn on the wall with blood, and a spell was stuffed into the blood hole in the man's heart!" Wen Jing paused as he spoke. , looked at Cheng Ning and frowned and said, "It's the kind of spell you drew with your own hands, my lord!"

"!" Cheng Ning was so surprised that he couldn't say a word, his eyes were wide open, and his mind was in chaos for a while!

"So..." Wen Jing tied Cheng Ning's long hair neatly as he spoke, and said to him in a low voice but earnestly: "As long as you are not blind, you can see that the other party is coming for you, young master... ...You don't want to go!" Wen Jing hadn't finished speaking yet, Cheng Ning had already walked out with frowning brows, and Wen Jing's face changed drastically in fright, he grabbed his wrist and said in front of him : "The other party came prepared, the young master has already dealt with it, son, you don't want to go!"

"As the young master of Mu's house, I am now the master of Mu's house. Wei'er is my son. Do you want me to shrink behind you and be protected by you?" Cheng Ning said loudly, all dressed up. sleeve, and said coldly: "I, Cheng Ning, am not such a coward!"

"..." Wen Jing was stunned by Cheng Ning's sudden cold demeanor, knowing that Cheng Ning was serious, he had to sigh, stepped aside, and apologized: "I made a mistake, please calm down, my lord!"

Cheng Ning didn't say anything, and didn't even bother to look at the expressions of his attendants. He took a deep breath, his handsome face was full of determination, and he walked out. He opened the door, and the bright lights outside were rushing forward. Cheng Ning rushed into the room, causing Cheng Ning, who had just stepped out of the door, to raise his head to block the bright light that seemed to be particularly dazzling today, and closed his eyes in discomfort...

"Priest Cheng, are you in a hurry and need to go out?"

An abusive male voice sounded leisurely from the gate of the garden not far away, accompanied by noisy footsteps from the Middle East, and a few familiar voices in panic... Cheng Ning, who was standing on the steps, subconsciously Putting down his hands, he looked up subconsciously. The next moment, when Cheng Ning saw the situation in the yard, he suddenly felt that the first day of the new year... It seemed that it would never be a good day for him.

"You dare to touch a single hair of my father, I want all of you to die without a place to bury!" Cheng Wei put a number of lingering long swords on his neck with empty hands, but he stared at the people around him and said with.

"Young master, leave us alone!"

"It's okay, we'll be fine, they dare not do anything to us!"

"Young master..."

Not only Cheng Wei, but even Wu Chi, Song Wen and Li Yuanliang were all stopped by dozens of soldiers wearing armor, holding shields, long swords and helmets. The leader was a warrior in black. A, a young man with a long sword hanging from his waist. The man has a tough face, a cold and desolate temperament, and a trace of blood in his eyes. However, at this moment, he is standing in front of everyone in the yard. A few steps down the stairs, Cheng Ning and Cheng Ning confronted each other with a smile that was not a smile, and looked at Cheng Ning's ever-changing face with satisfaction, and even smiled and said, "How is it? Is it the high priest Cheng who took the initiative to go with us, or Shall we take you away?"

This man Cheng Ning has never seen who he is, but he can roughly guess that he must be the most powerful general around Liang Hongzhang. Otherwise, why would he be wearing a thick dark red cloak?

Cheng Ning vaguely remembered that those who could use this kind of cloak had high official positions.

Wu Chi and Song Wen were caught, which made Cheng Ning understand, but Cheng Ning didn't understand. If the two sides fought, how could Cheng Weigeng and Li Yuanliang miss?

"Young Master, be careful!" Wen Jing, who came out two steps later than Cheng Ning, naturally saw the scene almost at the same time, and immediately subconsciously protected Cheng Ning: "Go back to the room first, I..."

"Back off!" Cheng Ning said coldly, and at the same time stepped forward, looked at the young man and said, "So, can I ask..." Cheng Ning stared at the man quietly, not at all. He said timidly: "If I leave with you, can you guarantee that my family will never be moved?"
