This king wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance

Yan Dingnan looked at Ning Yanzhi uneasily.

Ning Yanzhi didn't look at him.

Yan Jujiang, who took his small movements into his eyes, rubbed his younger brother's head, probably because he didn't want to disturb the Ning brothers, so he didn't say anything.

Yan Dingnan glanced back at him, his eyes filled with lingering bewilderment.

The topic of Ning Yanzhi and Ning Yezhi has turned back to the nephew of the Bai family servant.

"Isn't Zhou Zhuoyi very capable?" Ning Yanzhi said coldly, "His uncle is Bai Shangxing, the servant of the Ministry of War. How could he be afraid of the people of Cao's family? We need to clean him up?"

"Don't be angry." Ning Yezhi said helplessly: "He just came to the capital, and he didn't know that the Cao family was the imperial concubine's mother's family, let alone now he has been beaten and put in prison."

"The Cao family is powerful, and their relatives are involved in politics." Ning Yanzhi glanced at the sky outside the window, and said with a sneer, "Either they die, or the world perishes."

"Speaking of it." Ning Yezhi's face turned cold in a rare way, and he said, "Do you still think it's the same as before? Misfortune comes from your mouth. When will you change your temper?"

Ning Yanzhi snorted, but stopped talking.

Ning Yezhi really had a headache, so he could only remind him in another direction.

"Three days later, my father will invite all the ministers to a banquet. You and I both know what he means. At that time, you must not be impulsive, and you must save face."

"I know." Ning Yanzhi said: "It's the first time since the founding of the dynasty to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival as her birthday, and to host the banquet in the name of Missing Mother."

"Brother Huang, is the court food ready?" He didn't want to say this, but asked instead.

Ning Yezhi followed his will and replied: "Not yet."

Not worrying about these things anymore, Ning Yanzhi turned his head and said with a smile: "Then let's eat first."

After eating, Ning Yezhi and Ning Yanzhi went to the study, while Yan Dingnan and Yan Jujiang were talking in the yard.

Yan Jujiang came this time because the Qiqiao Festival is three days away, and it is also the birthday of the imperial concubine.

The concubine's birthday was not easy to handle, and it was not long after the death of Empress Hui. Even if the emperor wanted to let the imperial concubine show his face, he couldn't break the rules set by his ancestors.

I had no choice but to hold a banquet in the name of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are separated by the Milky Way, and I am saddened to lose the queen who is separated by life and death", which is still a big deal.

The ridiculous thing is that although most officials knew about this incident, the common people were very moved, and they all felt that the emperor was affectionate and dedicated.

And soon after the banquet, Yan Jujiang and Ning Yezhi will rush to the Qilu fief, and Ning Yanzhi and Yan Dingnan will also go to the northwest fief. This time, it is also a farewell.

Yan Dingnan called out in a low voice: "Brother."

Yan Jujiang asked: "I heard you are sick?"

"No serious problem." Yan Dingnan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Before the resurrection, Yan Jujiang and Ning Yezhi died before him. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he heard about it from those who talked badly.

A glass of poisoned wine was considered a euthanasia.

In all kinds of battles for the throne, this can be regarded as better than death.

Yan Dingnan, who is so heart-piercing with thousands of arrows, doesn't even have a whole body.

The two brothers of the Yan family are not very good at expressing emotions. Yan Jujiang seemed to want to ask a few more questions, but he didn't know how to ask, and finally turned to the business.

He said: "Wang An's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion both have meticulous work."

Yan Dingnan nodded and replied, "I know."

After saying this, it was quiet again.

Yan Dingnan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother..."

"how?"

"I want to tell the lord...all about it." Yan Dingnan said in a low voice, "If you can gain the lord's trust, it will be much easier to do things."

"Then what if he doesn't believe you?" Yan Jujiang asked with a frown: "The empress once said before her death that His Highness King An's ears are soft, and everyone trusts him. .Although His Royal Highness King Jing is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, he has a suspicious personality, are you sure he will believe it?"

Yan Dingnan stopped talking.

He can't be sure.

The 20-year-old Ning Yanzhi who won the championship is different from the disheartened 22-year-old Ning Yanzhi.

He was sure that the 22-year-old Ning Yanzhi would trust him, but he was not sure that the 20-year-old Ning Yanzhi would trust him.

The trust strengthened by time is what he lacks now.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Understood."

Seeing his appearance, Yan Jujiang didn't know what to say.

It's just that they haven't seen each other for two months, and there is an extra layer of estrangement between the two brothers.

They are still brothers, but their identities are quite different from before.

They sat together speechless.

Ning Yanzhi and Ning Yezhi in the study finished talking about the palace banquet, and then started talking about the land.

While talking, the topic turned to Empress Hui.

"The queen mother persuaded the emperor to change your fief to Qilu." Ning Yanzhi said: "The fief is not big, and there are no ministers who can win over. It is to lower the vigilance of the emperor and the imperial concubine."

Ning Yezhi looked at him strangely, and didn't understand why he brought up these things that anyone could see.

Ning Yanzhi continued: "Every move my mother makes is trying to build momentum for you. I just don't understand why it's Yan Dingnan and Yan Jujiang."

Ning Yezhi didn't understand either, but he hesitated for a moment, and corrected him: "Don't just call her name, that's your sister-in-law."

"Oh." Ning Yanzhi changed his words indifferently: "Emperor's Wife."

"I seem to have found out something." Ning Yezhi stammered, "But it's not necessarily true."

"Tell me quickly." Ning Yanzhi asked, "What did you find out?"

"I have a staff member named Li Ruizhi." Ning Yezhi said, "He is from Jiangnan..."

"Brother Huang." He spoke slowly, but Ning Yanzhi was impatient and urged: "Can you speak quickly?"

"The queen mother was also born in Jiangnan, but she stayed in Zhongzhou for a while." Ning Yezhi had no choice but to say: "Yan's family is in Jiangnan, but Li Ruizhi found out that Jujiang and Dingnan have lived together for a long time. Not in Jiangnan, but in Zhongzhou."

"I guessed it." Ning Yanzhi said, "If they hadn't been connected with the queen mother, could they have become our concubines?"

Ning Yezhi was not angry when he got the rebuttal, and continued: "The Yan family may have connections with the Jianghu people."

"It's just a group of people who fight and fight." Ning Yanzhi sneered: "Everyone who has the guts to defend the country, fight and kill all day, and say something like 'the world is about the world', no matter how big the world is, isn't it true? Part of this thousands of miles of land?"

"Look at you." Ning Yezhi reprimanded slowly: "Let me speak quickly, and interrupt me after I speak."

Ning Yanzhi picked up the teacup and closed his mouth.

Only then did Ning Yezhi say: "Sword sects are prevalent in today's Jianghu, and the bigger ones are from aristocratic families, the Jiangnan Liu family, you know that?"

Ning Yanzhi took a sip of tea and didn't answer.

Rather helpless, Ning Yezhi had no choice but to continue to explain to him: "Nowadays, there are four major schools of swordsmanship. The Jiangnan Liu family focuses on simplifying their sword moves and looking for flaws; The Zhou family's sword moves are exquisite, and their attacks and defenses are comprehensive; the Chang'an Qin family uses heavy swords exclusively, and they can defeat ten times with one force."

"There is a swordsman in Jianghu named 'Tao Wuya', he is the adopted son of the Tao family in Zhongzhou. It is rumored that he came from Zhongzhou. Go south to Jiangnan to discuss sword moves."

"People in the Jianghu admire him and gave him the title of 'No. [-] Swordsman'." Ning Yezhi said: "The Yan family may be related to the Tao family of Zhongzhou."

Ning Yanzhi paused for a while, then said slowly and in a drawn out tone, "Oh—"

Ning Yezhi said sincerely: "Brother."

Ning Yanzhi looked at him innocently.

Ning Yezhi, who had given up on this for a long time, said, "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time, do you know that?"

Ning Yanzhi, who was also very sincere, told the truth: "Brother, you have long been unable to beat me."

Ning Yezhi glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "Your sister-in-law can beat you."

Ning Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You've been talking for a long time, but you didn't get to the point at all. What kind of situation can a group of martial arts masters who only know about fighting among themselves, why should I pay attention to them?"

"I'm still looking into the details." Ning Yezhi said: "Anyway, your sister-in-law's kung fu is very high, and her internal skills are not bad. I just don't know how Ding Nan's kung fu is."

"I'll try him later," Ning Yanzhi said.

"Be careful." Ning Yezhi said: "No matter what, it was chosen by the queen mother, and there must be something special. Don't go too far."

Ning Yanzhi smiled noncommittally.

Excessive?

He doesn't think so.

But there are some things that really need to listen to Ning Yezhi's advice, such as how to improve the relationship between husband and wife.

He approached Ning Yezhi and asked, "How is the relationship between the emperor's wife and you?"

"It's pretty good." Ning Yezhi thought that he was worried that he would ask too many questions, and he was quite relieved. He probably thought that when his younger brother was also thoughtful, he moved himself to a mess and rushed to explain his situation. Explained clearly.

"Don't worry, although my relationship with Ju Jiang involves other interests and is a bit complicated, as long as it's not too much, he won't care too much."

"Are you clear?" Ning Yezhi smiled and said, "A martial arts knight who doesn't care about trifles."

Ning Yanzhi thought he was showing off to him, sneered, and walked away on his own.

The elder brother who didn't understand how he provoked his younger brother felt that the touch he had just had was superfluous.

"No., who was slapped by his younger brother for 20 years, still wants to beat him up." ——This is from a good-tempered elder brother who has never done anything.
