Chapter 22: The Assassin Attacks!
A treacherous minister in prosperous times and a treacherous hero in troubled times, is there a look of a wolf?
As soon as this said, everyone was stunned and surprised. After looking at each other, they all looked at Chen Ning.
Hiss...This guy is still eating melons!
In fact, Chen Ning was very angry. He guessed that this old bastard couldn't say anything good, but he didn't expect it to be so ugly. Is this likening himself to a combination of Cao Cao and Sima Yi? He likes other people's wives, but he definitely does not have Sima Yi's tolerance.
"Dingdong...fame value +40."
Chen Ning's eyes lit up and suddenly he was less angry.
Although it is a bad reputation, the increase in scores is also very powerful. In the blink of an eye, the full score will be almost collected. In addition, being a bad person is better than being a good person, at least not so tiring.
At this moment, Chen Ning, as the victim, had not yet expressed his anger. Wang Beixuan was shocked and exclaimed: "Master Xuanji, is this true?"
"Of course it's true! This is the result of spying on his future destiny." After saying that, Master Xuanji looked at Li Qingkong again and said, "Miss Li, after you marry this person, what will happen to the Li family in the future is really unknown. Who is more important to you?"
Li Qingkongshen looked at Taoist Master Xuanji, his eyes moved to Chen Ning, and asked, "Zhao Baoyu, do you agree with Taoist Master Xuanji's motto?"
Chen Ning asked, "Master Xuanji, is your motto measured by Zhao Baoyu?"
"Of course it's you Zhao Baoyu!" Taoist Master Xuanji said affirmatively.
Chen Ning smiled and nodded and said, "Then I have no objection, let alone I don't agree. Can Master Xuanji change the proverb?"
It’s about Zhao Baoyu, no matter what Chen Ning is doing!
"I advise Mr. Zhao to do good deeds every day to avoid going on the wrong path in the future! Wuliang Tianzun! I still have something to do, so I will leave first!" Taoist Xuanji bowed.
Wang Beixuan quickly escorted Taoist Master Xuanji to leave.
Then, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Today, these three life tests were really eye-opening, especially Zhao Baoyu's motto, which turned out to be a traitor.
Wang Beifeng seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward to sarcastically: "Mr. Zhao, fortunately, we are not friends. If you become a treacherous minister in the future, it is simply the biggest insult to me if you have something to do with you."
"Wang Beifeng, you are so ruthless that you slander Your Majesty now! " Chen Ning suddenly slapped the table and pointed at him and shouted angrily.
Everyone was frightened by Chen Ning's anger and stood there.
Wang Beifeng roared: "Zhao Baoyu, don't frame him! When will I humiliate His Majesty today?"
Chen Ning smiled and said, "When selecting officials and talents today, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system depends on character and virtue. If I can become an important official in the future, I will definitely pass the screening layer by layer. But you say I am a treacherous minister. Isn't this slander Your Majesty's unclear knowledge and has no eyes? Okay, Wang Beifeng, is this your opinion or your Wang family's opinion? Could it be that you have long been disgusted with Your Majesty's benevolent politics today?"
Wang Beifeng's body trembled and cold sweat broke out.
"I don't. This is the proverb that Taoist Master Xuanji gave you to test your life, and it was not what I said!" Wang Beifeng quickly explained.
Chen Ning sneered and said, "He ran fast, I was about to ask him, is it now a prosperous era or a chaotic era? He said that I was a traitor in the troubled times, and that was alluding to the arrival of the troubled times! Now that His Majesty is kind to the world, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, he actually cursed the troubled times. I want to ask him, is this what the Tao of Heavenly Master means?"
Everyone dared not refute, but they cursed in their hearts: "It's indeed a traitor!"
Now that the separatist areas are divided, people are living in poverty, where can we see the peace and stability of the country? But on the surface, this is what we have to say, who dares to refute?
Wang Beifeng originally humiliated Chen Ning, but he didn't expect that he was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't dare to speak. The hatred in his heart was conceivable.
"Hmph..." Wang Beifeng couldn't stay any longer and immediately shook his sleeves and left.
The others also said goodbye, and the banquet ended unhappily.
Chen Ning, Li Qingkong, and Yu Xuefei fell to the end.
"Hey, treacherous minister, why don't you care at all?" Yu Xuefei surrounded Chen Ning and said with a smile.
In her opinion, with this bad reputation, Qingkong can convince her father to cancel this marriage. After all, once the reputation of a traitor in troubled times is spread, even the Li family will be affected. Don’t underestimate the influence of reputation. Scolding is better than swords, guns, swords and halberds. Those who play weapons will never be able to play tricks.
Zhao Baoyu shook his shoulders and said casually: "Niece Yu, even if I say it, you don't understand."
Yu Xuefei was so angry that she gritted her teeth, then pulled Li Qingkong forward, unwilling to pay attention to him.
Leaving Lanxiang Garden, Li Qingkong suddenly said, "I have something to deal with. Mr. Zhao is just right on the way. I have to trouble Mr. Zhao to send my aunt back home."
Yu Xuefei glanced at Li Qingkong. Because Chen Ning was here, the two of them didn't say in detail, but Yu Xuefei nodded, and it seemed that she knew where Li Qingkong was going.
"Okay!" Chen Ning agreed.
Li Qingkong left with two guards, while Yu Xuefei got on the carriage, Chen Ning rode a horse, and accompanied him back to Li's mansion.
After walking for a while, Yu Xuefei lifted the bamboo curtain, looked at Chen Ning through the car window, and said, "Zhao Baoyu, you are actually not suitable for Qingkong."
This time, Yu Xuefei's tone was sincere.
Chen Ning turned his head and looked at her and asked, "Do you mean I'm not worthy of her?"
"You were indeed not worthy in the past. Now you are both literary and military, which is very good, but you are indeed inappropriate to her. Why not quit this engagement and find another good match?" Yu Xuefei did not explain the reason.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "If you don't try it, how can you know the depth and whether it's appropriate? You'll discuss this matter when General Li comes back. In addition, do you really understand me?"
Yu Xuefei was stunned, then shook her head, Chen Ning's smile was full of mystery in her eyes. Not only that, the more we get along, the more we know him.
Dada dada...
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slab and made a crisp sound. They got closer and closer to the Li Mansion. After passing through a sub-street, they could return to the Li Mansion.
There are not many pedestrians on this sub-story street, and there are two-story wooden houses on both sides, which looks very quiet.
Chen Ning noticed something strange.
He looked carefully at the houses on both sides of the street. As a top killer in his previous life, he had developed a keen sixth sense of murder. He felt the murderous intent.
This time Li Qingkong and Yu Xuefei went out, only six guards. Li Qingkong took away two people, and there were four people left. Including himself, there were only five people, and they didn’t know the martial arts of these four people.
"Yu Xuefei, hide and don't show up!"
Chen Ning looked at Yu Xuefei with a cautious expression.
This was the first time Yu Xuefei saw Chen Ning so serious, so she nodded subconsciously and then hurried in the carriage. After hiding, Yu Xuefei realized why she was obedient? Also, what happened?
At this moment, a dozen killers suddenly jumped out from the street on both sides of the street, holding the blades and jumped down.
"Swoosh..."
The flying knife in Chen Ning's hand flew out, and before the two assassins landed, they died in their throats. But the other assassins didn't care at all and continued to rush over.
The pedestrians around were fleeing in panic. The four guards responded a beat slower, but they quickly drew their swords and protected the carriage.
"Kill!" The assassin brought up his sword and everyone immediately fought together.
Three people surrounded and killed Chen Ning at the same time. Chen Ning dodged and snatched one person's blade and killed two people in a row.
The remaining assassins surrounded and killed four guards. Although the four of them had good martial arts and were all in the realm of great warriors, they could not resist the many assassins and were soon seriously injured.
Chen Ning immediately stepped forward to provide assistance, killing five people in a row with one man, preventing the assassin's conspiracy. Three of the four guards were seriously injured and died.
However, Chen Ning did not dare to relax at all. These assassins were all small fish and shrimps, and the real master appeared.
I saw an old man walking slowly with a dagger in his hands.
Chen Ning dealt with all the other assassins, gasping slightly, and looking at the old man coldly.
