Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

#474 - This is Xu Ming's business.

Xu Ming went downstairs.

After going downstairs, Xu Ming hadn't walked a few steps before Tang Ningzhi followed him out.

"Miss Tang, is there something you need?" Xu Ming turned around and asked.

Tang Ningzhi looked at Xu Ming: "Where are you going?"

Xu Ming smiled: "Naturally, I am going back to the Jinyi Guard to deal with these matters."

Tang Ningzhi said as a matter of course: "Then I'll go with you. I'm also a witness. Anyway, you'll have to summon me sooner or later, so I might as well go with you."

Xu Ming: "."

Tang Ningzhi smiled: "What? Is your Jinyi Guard some kind of forbidden area? Can't a foreigner like me go there?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "That's not the case. Since Miss Tang wants to come, then come and have a seat."

Xu Ming did not refuse.

The main reason why Xu Ming hesitated just now was that Xu Ming was worried about whether Yan Han would have some misunderstandings.

However, Xu Ming felt that he was upright and had nothing to fear from misunderstandings.

Xu Ming brought Tang Ningzhi to the Jinyi Guard.

People were coming and going in the Jinyi Guard, and everyone looked very busy.

Some people who knew Xu Ming would greet him when they saw him, but most of the more than eight thousand people in the Jinyi Guard did not know Xu Ming, after all, Xu Ming was not wearing the official uniform of the Jinyi Guard Commander.

Tang Ningzhi looked at the layout of the Jinyi Guard and the mental outlook of each Jinyi Guard member.

The layout inside the Jinyi Guard was very simple, with nothing special about it. There were no valuable furniture or anything like that inside, everything was simple.

Even in this huge Jinyi Guard, it seemed a bit empty.

However, standing inside, you could feel a kind of肅殺 [sù shā - grim atmosphere].

Every Jinyi Guard member gave people a sense of昂揚 [áng yáng - high-spiritedness].

Tang Ningzhi didn't feel any surprise about this.

Tang Ningzhi even felt that it should be like this.

This was what a newly established institution should look like.

In the beginning, everyone would abide by all the rules and regulations, and would handle things carefully and conscientiously.

However, as time went on, Tang Ningzhi also had reason to suspect whether the Jinyi Guard would not deteriorate.

Not to mention that the Jinyi Guard was such a large power institution. The only person they were responsible to was Emperor Wu, but could Emperor Wu supervise the Jinyi Guard at all times?

Years later, would this Jinyi Guard be like today, becoming the emperor's sword and the people's protection, or would it collude with the civil and military officials in the court to deceive the emperor and oppress the people?

In the Jinyi Guard's council hall, a plaque hung high, with two large characters written on it — “求实 [qiú shí - Seek Truth]”.

The characters were not very beautiful, but these two characters, in their simplicity, seemed to proclaim the Jinyi Guard's simplest philosophy.

Moreover, in these two characters, Tang Ningzhi felt a sharp sword aura, that kind of unyielding feeling was so strong.

"Who wrote these two characters?" Tang Ningzhi asked. She felt that the person who wrote these two characters must be an upright and principled person, with his own persistence.

"I wrote them." Xu Ming replied, "What's wrong?"

"." Tang Ningzhi was speechless for a moment, "Nothing..."

Looking at Tang Ningzhi's complicated expression, Xu Ming touched his chin and also looked at the two characters he had written.

Although he was not a great calligrapher, the two characters he wrote were not ugly, right?

"Miss Tang, please sit here for a while. I have some things I need to deal with first," Xu Ming said to Tang Ningzhi.

Tang Ningzhi nodded.

Xu Ming walked out of the Jinyi Guard's hall.

Looking at Xu Ming's gradually receding back, Tang Ningzhi's eyes flickered.

Tang Ningzhi didn't even know why she had followed him here.

She was indeed one of the parties involved, but as a princess of Chu, she would not be summoned at all.

Even if this matter was serious, as a princess of Chu, they would treat me as a transparent person.

Even when interrogating this matter, they might bypass me.

In Tang Ningzhi's mind, Xu Ming's performance in the teahouse at that time was recalled again.

Perhaps, I wanted to see what kind of reaction Xu Ming would have when facing the powerful officials of Wu and this emerging force, facing the old forces.

The other party was the Grand Pillar of the State, the son of that Limit Realm martial artist, Mo Peinan.

How many Limit Realm martial artists are there in the world?

In Tang Ningzhi's heart, she felt that this case would definitely end without a conclusion, and Xu Ming would definitely let people go in the end.

That fellow Mo Yuanshan would leave the Jinyi Guard prison unscathed.

Tang Ningzhi knew that this was basically the only ending, and she really shouldn't expect anything...

Of course, this couldn't be blamed on Xu Ming.

No matter who it was, no matter which dynasty it was, who could not give a Limit Realm martial artist face?

"Alas..."

Tang Ningzhi sighed, took a sip of tea, and felt that there was no need for her to sit here anymore.

Just as Tang Ningzhi was planning to sit for a while and then leave, a woman in a long dress walked in, with four-clawed golden dragons engraved on the long dress.

Looking at this woman, Tang Ningzhi frowned.

The woman looked at Tang Ningzhi, and her expression was not very good either.

Wu Yanhan sat next to Tang Ningzhi without saying a word.

Tang Ningzhi smiled instead: "Does Princess Qin have something to say?"

Wu Yanhan poured herself a cup of tea: "Xu Ming told me about what happened in the teahouse and asked me to come and entertain you."

Tang Ningzhi: "."

The hall fell into silence, and the two people did not say a word.

The entire hall fell into a kind of inexplicable awkwardness, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

"The one who was beaten was the son of your Grand Pillar of the State," Tang Ningzhi said after a long time, with a hint of reminder in her tone.

"I know." Wu Yanhan nodded and took a light sip of tea.

Tang Ningzhi's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Then how will you handle this matter?"

"That's Xu Ming's business," Wu Yanhan said calmly.
