I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Qingzhou Prefecture.

Crowded.

Just seven days after the death of the previous head of the family, the inheritance ceremony of the new head of the family was held.

"It seems that the new head of the Huang family does not have a good relationship with his father?"

"Brother Zhong, why do you say this?"

"Dad has only been dead for seven days, and he is rushing to hold a succession ceremony. How can this relationship be better?" Zhong Shan said with a smile: "It is rumored that the new head of the Huang family, Huang Zhongtai, was an illegitimate son. If it weren't for the fact that the old head of the family had no successor, only I’m afraid it won’t be his turn to take over.”

"So that's it. Thank you, Brother Zhong, for clearing up the confusion."

Chu Ning clasped her fists to express her gratitude, and then said no more words.

Sitting in the carriage, Liang Jiulin listened to Chu Ning's conversation with Zhong Shan along the way, with a complicated look on his face.

Ji Yang is indeed a suitable disciple. At such an age, he has no arrogance as a military commander. It's a pity... It's a pity that he practices blood-burning skills.

If not, this master-disciple relationship can really be fulfilled.

"Huang Zhongtai is not a simple person. After arriving at the Huang family, he listened more and spoke less."

Liang Jiulin's voice came from the carriage, and Chu Ning's face became solemn: "Disciple, I understand, be careful with your words and deeds."

Huang Zhongtai is a military general who makes masters like Liang Jiulin feel that it is not simple, that is, it is really not simple.

…

…

Liang Jiulin was the grand master and represented the royal family. He was personally greeted by an elder of the Huang family at the gate of the city. He was directly invited to the Huang family and arranged to have the best courtyard.

What a coincidence.

This courtyard is exactly the courtyard where Chu Ning originally lived in the Huang family.

It seems that Huang Zhongtai was really kind to him back then and arranged the best yard for him.

Is this a return visit?

But the best room belonged to Liang Jiulin, and Chu Ning lived in the side courtyard.

The Huang family's head ceremony will be held tomorrow. Chu Ning has been staying in the courtyard. Liang Jiulin is in the main courtyard. He dare not move around at will.

Fortunately, during the dinner, the Huang family sent someone to invite Liang Jiulin to attend. The only people who could attend such a dinner were the big guys or those powerful masters.

Chu Ning and Zhong Shan's guards stayed in the courtyard, eating the dishes sent by the Huang family.

After drinking and eating, Chu Ning returned to his side courtyard to practice in the house. However, within half an hour, he heard footsteps at the entrance of the courtyard and immediately stopped.

"Mr. Ji, the prince calls you to go to the main courtyard."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Chu Ning stood up, thought for a moment to let Lao Hei enter her sleeves, then walked out of the house and followed Zhong Shan towards the main courtyard.

When she arrived at the main courtyard, Chu Ning saw Liang Jiulin sitting alone in front of the stone table in the courtyard with a gloomy face. It seemed that something bad happened at the banquet that night?

"Teacher, did you call me?"

Liang Jiulin seemed to be thinking about the problem and didn't notice Chu Ning approaching. It wasn't until Chu Ning spoke that he raised his head and looked over.

This look was very complicated, filled with unwillingness and desire, and even a hint of envy.

What the hell?

Chu Ning was a little confused.

I was attending a dinner party, and my cheap chef suddenly had such a big mood change?

"In a quarter of an hour, Zhong Shan will take you away from Huang Mansion and go to Yangzhou after leaving Huang Mansion."

Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she decided to let herself go at night, and to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is two states away from Qingzhou, but it is also one of the four states under the jurisdiction of the royal family. The third prince is in charge of Yangzhou.

"Teacher, what happened?"

At first, Chu Ning suspected that his identity had been exposed, but after thinking about it, he knew it was not the case.

His identity was exposed. If someone from the Wushuang Sect came, Liang Jiulin could stop him, but then Ji Bo was just an elder from the Wushuang Sect.

It was impossible for Wushuangmen to choose to turn against the royal family just because of the death of one of his sons.

But now Liang Jiulin asked him to leave late at night, obviously because he felt that he might not be safe in the Huang family.

It's just that he can't think of anything unsafe in the Huang family.

There can't be other forces in the Huang family...

Chu Ning's heart beat faster, and he suddenly thought of the news from Tu Feifei.

The Routu Army is about to invade, and there must be an insider within the Liang Dynasty. Could it be that this insider is the Huang family.

If this is the case, is the Huang family planning to take advantage of this celebration to kill Liang Jiulin and deprive the royal family of a powerful master?

Liang Jiulin discovered something fishy, ​​so he let himself escape first?

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's face showed a determined look: "Teacher, is there any danger in the Huang family? If so, the disciple will never abandon the teacher and run for his life alone."

"Disciples must advance and retreat together with the teacher!"

With a firm attitude and sincere feelings, the black snake in Chu Ning's sleeve was shocked. How could this person say such a thing shamelessly?

Liang Jiulin also had a look of emotion on his face. In times of crisis, people's emotions will fluctuate more easily than usual.

Liang Jiulin was in this situation now. He stared at Chu Ning for a moment and said: "Silly boy, the teacher is the master. Who can keep him if he really wants to leave? If you stay here, you will drag the teacher down."

"It's useless as a disciple." Chu Ning's face darkened and he said, "Teacher, is there really someone who would target us? This is the Huang family, and teacher, you are the prince."

Showing the deep love between master and disciple, Chu Ning was not addicted to acting, but he just didn't want to leave in such a daze. He wanted to know what happened.

Liang Jiulin pondered for a moment and asked: "If you were the head of a family and the two big families next door formed a feud and wanted to fight, would you stop it?"

Chu Ning shook his head: "The disciple will not stop it. On the contrary, he will secretly fight against it. Let the two families fight fiercely. It is best to hurt both sides, so as to benefit the family."

"Yes, everyone in the world knows such a simple truth. But tonight at the banquet, the elder of the Wushuang Sect, Ji Bo, attacked the Huang family, threatening that Huang Zhongtai had killed his son, but he immediately came out to rescue Huang Zhongtai. It’s not the elders of the Huang family, but the elders of the two major sects, Jiuxuan Pavilion and Canglang Villa.”

Liang Jiulin had a sarcastic look on his face, and Chu Ning also understood. Under normal circumstances, when Chief Ji asked Huang Zhongtai, other sects and forces would have been watching the show.

It's already pretty good without Gonghuo, so how could he possibly try to persuade her with words?

Jiuxuan Pavilion and Canglang Villa have reached a strategic alliance with the Huang family, and are they also connected with the Routu Kingdom?

With the two major martial arts sects, the Huang family, and the Routu army, the battle is really almost evenly matched.

But what Chu Ning is more concerned about is, what did Boss Ji investigate this time?

"Teacher, did Huang Zhongtai really kill Ji Bo's son? In the end, Ji Bo was persuaded? This is the revenge of killing his son."

"Bo-Chief Ji has no evidence, and the teacher doesn't know the specific situation. It's just that Huang Zhongtai promised to give Bo-Chief Ji a satisfactory explanation after the banquet."

Chu Ning suddenly thought, Huang Zhongtai would not sell himself out.

Ji Bo Chang's son died at his own hands. It turned out that Huang Zhongtai wanted to kill him because he was afraid that this matter would affect his position as the head of the family.

But now it seems that Huang Zhongtai's position in the Huang family is stable, and with the help of Jiuxuan Pavilion and Canglang Villa, he can tell the truth.

Human beings are very realistic creatures.

Before today, Chief Ji would only think that everyone involved in his son's death would have to pay for his son's life. This is what he must do as a father.

But when someone who can be his equal is involved, his thoughts will change.

Of so many sons, only one of them died, even the one he loved most, was it really worth risking everything for this son?

At this time, Huang Zhongtai gave him a step and told him who killed his son.

You can avenge your son without losing too much.

Chu Ning believed that with Huang Zhongtai's temperament, he would definitely choose to do this.

Even though Chief Ji Bo might not have any evidence, the benefits would be greater if he confessed himself than if he refused to admit it.

It seemed that he could not run to Yangzhou, but had to return to Raozhou.

"Teacher, even if the Huang family has their own intentions, they won't dare to attack us."

Liang Jiulin shook his head. There were some truths that he couldn't tell Ji Yang.

Bringing Ji Yang here this time was his biggest mistake. The original purpose of bringing Ji Yang was to give the Eight Families and the Four Sects a reassurance, but he didn't expect Huang Zhongtai to break through to this step.

Just now, my emotions were aroused by Ji Yang, otherwise I shouldn't have told him this.

"Go, there's nothing to pack. I've given Zhong Shan instructions for everything else. Just follow his arrangements on the way."

"Then disciple, take your leave. Teacher, you must take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, your teacher is a master after all, it will be easy to leave."

After leaving the main courtyard, Zhong Shan was already waiting at the door.

"Master, do you want to go back to the yard to pack your things?"

"I have nothing to bring, Brother Zhong. It's all up to you."

"Okay, let's leave now and pretend that we want to see the night view of Qingzhou."

After tea time, Chu Ning, Zhong Shan and two other guards left the Huang Mansion and began to wander around the streets.

And just before Chu Ning and his party left the Huang Mansion.

In the main hall of the Huang Mansion, Huang Zhongtai tended to take his seat. There were a total of nine powerful masters in the entire hall.

All four elders of the Huang family are here, as well as two elders from Jiuxuan Pavilion and Canglang Island, as well as Chief Ji Bo and two other elders from the eight major surnames.

"It seems that this old guy Liang Jiulin has a very good nose. He has already sensed that something is wrong. But what is this old guy doing by sending off a few guards? Expecting these guards to report the news?"

The second elder of the Huang family sneered and said, "When he dies, won't the royal family know the news? Is there any need to pass it on?"

"If you want to know what kind of medicine Liang Jiulin sells in his gourd, just arrest these people and give them to my Huang family."

"Liang Jiulin and those people are left to you. I am going to Raozhou now. Huang Zhongtai, I hope what you said is true."

When Huang Zhongtai, who had been silent all this time, heard this, he put down the teacup he was playing with and said, "There is not a single word of truth in what Zhongtai said."

"hope so."

…

…

Qingzhou Fucheng.

Led by Chu Ning and Zhong Shan, the four of them seemed to be shopping, but they walked very quickly and did not go through the city gate. Finally, they reached the south city wall and climbed over it directly.

Then, he started running wildly.

It's a pity that before I ran ten miles, there was a sound of breaking wind behind me.
