"This... please tell the envoy of Tan!" Ning Wuji was obviously taken aback, he did not expect the envoy of this dynasty to be so direct.

However, he still pretended to be ignorant.

"Is there a guest from Ning Mansion these days?" Tan envoy asked lightly.

"Exactly, he is an old friend of mine, but unfortunately, he has already left today! If I had known that envoy Tan was interested in him, I would have let him stay for another day!" Ning Wuji looked regretful Said.

"Old friend? When did City Lord Ning have such a powerful old friend?" The envoy looked at Ning Wuji calmly and said.

Ning Wuji is only in the Nascent Soul stage now, which is already considered a very good strength among the city lords of the third-level city. However, when Cheng Yu left, he had already been spying on Cheng Yu secretly.

It was found that Cheng Yu's strength was unfathomable, and even he couldn't find out what kind of strength it was. And he is in the early stage of fusion, so it is simply judged that the opponent is at least at the Mahayana stage.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a Nascent Soul stage and a Mahayana stage are one earth and one sky. How could a small city lord of Ningshui have an old friend of a Mahayana master?

Ever since he got the news that someone had entered the Ning Mansion five days ago, he has been sending people to investigate this big man. However, the effect was minimal. Originally, he wanted to use Steward Pang, the internal response of the Ning Mansion, but he learned that Steward Pang had been expelled from the Ning Mansion by Ning Wuji.

After a while, the subordinates found Butler Pang, and learned from Butler Pang that he was expelled from the Ning Mansion by Ning Wuji because of the discovery of his identity by that big man.

Although there is not much news from Butler Pang, what is certain is that there is a secret between the two of them.

The Dynasty sent him to Ningshui City to investigate Ning Wuji, but in the past year, nothing suspicious entered the Ning Mansion, which made him very annoyed.

Because if he doesn't find out the murderer who wiped out Fang's family, he won't be able to return to the dynasty. The appearance of this somewhat mysterious big man naturally made him quite suspicious.

Moreover, Xu Quan was in the late stage of fusion, and even if he was captured alive, then this person's strength is at least at the Mahayana stage, which fits somewhat with this big man.

Therefore, he suspected even more that this big man was the murderer who killed the Fang family back then, that is, one of those mysterious men in black robes.

However, during these five days, he did not have the opportunity to send people into the Ning Mansion to inquire about the news between the two of them.

Now that the big man has left, he first sent someone to follow the big man in order to avoid alarming the enemy. Then come to Ning Mansion to inquire about the news, if this big man is really the original murderer, then he must not be allowed to run away.

However, judging from the current situation, Ning Wuji seems to be hiding the truth and unwilling to tell the truth!

"This is actually an old friend I met by chance, and I didn't know the strength of this old friend at the time." Ning Wuji knew that the envoy surnamed Tan would not believe him easily, but he could not tell Cheng Yu anyway. true identity.

"City Lord Ning, you should know that your present status is all thanks to the support of our dynasty. And our dynasty has always needed a loyal person.

If City Lord Ning can't cooperate with me, it will be difficult for me to return to the dynasty. At that time, the position of City Lord Ning may be difficult to keep! "Emissary Tan saw that Ning Wuji was doing Tai Chi with him, and couldn't help but turn cold.

"Envoy Tan, Ning has never dared to forget the court's kindness to Ning. But what I said just now is true. That big man is indeed my old friend. Please envoy Tan to check it out!" Ning Wuji said with trepidation.

Although the position of the city lord is very important to him, the life of his own daughter is more important to him. It is impossible for him to sell his daughter for the position of city lord.

Moreover, because of the dynasty's oppression, he had already betrayed his daughter once and had to marry her to Fang Qingping.

Fortunately, he was rescued by Cheng Yu later, otherwise, his daughter would still know what the outcome would be.

If this dynasty really wants to depose his city lord,

He doesn't care either. Although he may no longer be able to get the guarantee of resources in the future, at least he has regained his freedom, and he no longer has to live this kind of intrigue.

"Hmph! It seems that City Lord Ning is determined to conceal the truth. I won't play around with you anymore. Was your daughter rescued by him?" Seeing that threatening Ning Wuji had no effect, the envoy Tan no longer had any patience. , asked directly.

"Envoy Tan, where do you start with this? I haven't seen my daughter Wushuang since she married into the Fang family. I don't know whether my daughter is alive or dead, so how can my friend be the one to save my daughter?" Ning Wuji said with a sad face.

"Since that's the case, then you can prove that you are innocent. Wasn't your friend the murderer who killed the Fang family back then?"

"Envoy Tan, aren't you trying to embarrass me on purpose? My friend comes and goes without a trace, and usually he is the only one looking for me. Now that he has left, where can I go to help you find him back?" Woolen cloth?

Moreover, everything I said just now is true, I would rather act upright and sit upright, how dare I deceive the envoy? "Ning Wuji said with a bitter face.

Although envoy Tan's face was ugly, and he even turned over Ning Wuji, but now he has no evidence, and he can't really do anything to Ning Wuji.

After all, everything he has now is just speculation, and he has already sent someone to follow those people. If they find out the truth at that time, it will not be too late to take tough measures against Ning Wuji.

He thought about using torture on Ning Wuji, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Ning Wuji is a resolute person, even torture may not be able to force him to submit, everything should wait for the result over there.

"Since City Lord Ning said so, Tan has no reason not to believe in City Lord Ning's loyalty. However, I may need to disturb Ning Manor for a while during this period!" Envoy Tan calmed down, looked at Ning Wuji and said.

"It's Ning's honor that envoy Tan is willing to stay in the Ning Mansion. I'll let someone arrange the room, and at the same time, order people to serve delicious food and wine to clean up envoy Tan!" Ning Wuji saw that envoy Tan didn't continue to press him any further. , I also breathed a sigh of relief.

For envoy Tan to stay in Ning Mansion, he didn't think it was a good thing, it was clearly to stay in Ning Mansion to monitor him.

However, now that Cheng Yu has left and his daughter is fine, he doesn't care anymore. No matter how long this person surnamed Tan stays with him, he doesn't care.

Envoy Tan nodded and didn't say anything more, letting Ning Wuji arrange everything for him.

Originally, when the big man was still in Ningfu, he wanted to come over. But he felt that he had no evidence to prove that the big man was the murderer who killed the Fang family, and it was better not to startle the snake in the end, so he held back.
