Chapter 1393: Uninvited guests
In the Taoyuan County County Magistrate's Office, Ben Kuan raised his wine glass with a smile, "Mr. Ning, this time I suffered, but I will enjoy it after suffering. You will have a life of enjoyment in the future. If you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty the Emperor will definitely not owe you. This time, you will go to Yuejing to meet Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely be valued."
Ning Zhiwen looked full of distress, picked up the cup and drank the wine in the cup until it was gone, and slapped the cup heavily on the table, saying, "How can I have the face to go to Jin to meet the Emperor in the capital? It is the fault of my father if I don't teach my adopted son. Ning Zefeng's bastard will inevitably become a major disaster for my Ming Dynasty in the future."
"Long gave birth to nine sons, Shang Zizi is different. How can Mr. Ning ask too much?" Ben Kuan smiled and shook his head: "What's more, in my opinion, Ning Zefeng is also a talent, Ning Zeyuan, Ning Zefeng, your two sons are the same generation of outstanding people. Brother Ning, you are amazing."
"I would rather Ning Zefeng be mediocre all his life. The greater his ability, the greater the trouble he will cause to the Ming Dynasty in the future." Ning Zhiwen said distressedly.
"The world is impermanent, how can you be perfect in everything?" Ben Kuan puts wine in Zhiwen, "Lao Ning, God is punishing you! I won't say anything, I know the pain in your heart. In the future, the two sons will inevitably face off the battlefield. It is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable in your heart. Come on, stop talking about anything, drink."
"I have decided to expel Ning Zefeng from the Ning family." Ning Zhiwen raised his neck and poured down another glass of wine.
Ben Kuan laughed: "Old Ning, can the legal relationship be cut off, can the blood relationship be cut off? To be honest, when I heard your grandson calling grandpa, my tears also burst out,"
A sentence suddenly hit Ning Zhiwen's weakest part in his heart. He put down his wine glass and covered his face with both hands, but tears still slid out from between his fingers.
A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.
The two of them stopped talking, just drank one cup after another. When they were half asleep, Ning Zhiwen put down his glass: "Mr. Ben, I have decided."
"What did Mr. Ning decide?"
"I want to go back to Quanzhou." Ning Zhiwen said.
"What? Go back to Quanzhou?" Ben Kuan was stunned, "This is not a good idea. Min Ruoying wanted to kill you. Now your identity is almost revealed in the world. What else can you do when you go back to Quanzhou?"
Ning Zhiwen yelled, "The Chu court has appointed me as the governor of Quanzhou County, and the seals and documents are still on me. Since I am not dead, I will take office openly. I want to see what Min Ruoying would say?"
Ben Kuan blinked his eyes and looked at him: "On the surface, of course he would not slap himself in the face. Although he knew that you were from our Ming Dynasty, he would also pretend to be deaf and dumb, but in secret, he would definitely kill you and then hurry up. Lao Ning, do you really want to do this?"
"Quanzhou is my old nest." Ning Zhiwen snorted: "Since Min Ruoying dared not deal with me on the surface, then what he wanted to do in secret, I, Ning Zhiwen, now I especially like to see him choking in his throat, but he was helpless and furious."
"This is too dangerous. Lao Ning, there is no need to fight like this with your contribution to the Ming Dynasty." Ben Kuan shook his head and said.
"It's my fault for Ning Zefeng. The governor Ben is right. The legal principle is cut off, but how can he be cut off? I will not actually play a big role in the Ming Dynasty, but as long as I stand firm in Quanzhou and stand on Luo, it will definitely be of great help to the Ming Dynasty's next strategy." Ning Zhiwen said.
"Li'er is such a li'er, but Lao Ning, you really have to think about this matter clearly. After all, Quanzhou is still the territory of Chu, so it is not easy for us to do it too obvious. It depends more on yourself. The Chu court must think of getting rid of you."
"I have already thought about it. I have selfish intentions to do this. I want to use the contribution I have earned back to Quanzhou for the Ming Dynasty in the future to exchange for my grandchildren's safety." Ning Zhiwen whispered: "Mr. Ben, can you understand me?"
Ben Kuan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
It was already empty, and Ben Kuan stood in his slightly simple study room. Seeing the silhouette of the candlelight reflected on the window in one of the guest rooms, he was writing quickly. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. It was really pitiful to the parents of the world. Ning Zhiwen decided to return to Quanzhou, but he had indeed put life and death aside. He must have written a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor at this time.
After thinking about it, he clapped his hands and called a servant: "Go and invite Lord Wu Zhengtingwu to me, and then I said I had something urgent to come to him."
The Taoyuan County Magistrate's Mansion is not big, and the county town has not been rectified too much. Officials like Wu Zhengting usually usually hold a title of idle official in the County Magistrate's Mansion and do not set up another yamen, so they come very quickly.
After listening to Ning Zhiwen's words reposted by Ben Kuan, Wu Zhengting was also a little surprised, "This old man is really desperate. This time, without He Rentu, escort him. There are only a few masters in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for us to protect him by our side all the time."
Ben Kuan sighed. Ning Zhiwen's position was too important in the past, so the Ming Dynasty court was naturally worried that he would be plotted against, so he put He Rentu by his side. Now he has left Jinghu, and the layout in Jinghu and Jiangnan has been basically completed, so his importance will naturally be greatly reduced. Of course, the Ming Dynasty cannot put a master next to him as a bodyguard.
"General Wu, your supervisory authority has its own messenger, which is faster. Ning Zhiwen is probably writing a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor. Tomorrow, I will bring this memorial to you. You can send it with your messenger faster and keep it confidential. If you go to a public post station, I am afraid that the news will leak in advance and give the Chu court time to react."
"Okay, use our messenger. In three days, I guarantee that this memorial will appear on the desk of His Majesty the Emperor." Wu Zhengting agreed very readily.
"Every family has a difficult sutra to recite!" Ben Kuan looked at the window that was still lit with candlelight and said.
Wu Zhengting smiled slightly, walked to the window, and was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed drastically. He pressed the handle of the knife around his waist, and the person rushed to the yard.
"That expert is here?" he said sternly, "Traveling into the county magistrate's palace is a death sentence."
Accompanied by Wu Zhengting's roar, the entire county magistrate's mansion seemed to have come alive. Soldiers rushed in from all over the place. In the secret, there were spies from the Eagle's Nest who were snooping. Torches were lit one by one, and instantly illuminating the entire county magistrate's mansion.
As the lights of the county magistrate's house lighted up, loud military horns and alarm bells suddenly sounded in Taoyuan County, which was not large. After a while, torches lit up on the streets on all sides. A horse team was running, and the dense and neat footsteps of soldiers sounded. For a moment, there were countless people gathering towards the county magistrate's house.
Taoyuan County is a front line, and there have always been garrisons in the county town. For example, the county magistrate's office is the core of the entire Taoyuan County, so it is naturally very strict in defense. Taoyuan County, which seems to be ordinary, is actually like a dragon's pond.
Among the bright lights, Wu Zhengting looked up proudly at a place and said, "Please show up. Since you are here, don't think about leaving. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is not something you can come whenever you want or leave whenever you want."
Ben Kuan and Ning Zhiwen also walked out of their room in surprise and stared at the direction Wu Zhengting was looking at.
After a while, a sudden sound came from that place. It was not one person, but two people came out from where they came out. To be precise, one person was holding another person.
Wu Zhengting suddenly changed his face because he only found one person, but now there are two people, which only shows that the other person's martial arts cultivation is far superior to him.
"Ma Baozi, Shi Shusheng!" Ning Zhiwen exclaimed on the side, "Why are you here?"
He walked forward quickly, but Wu Zhengting held him back, "Mr. Ning, be careful, these two people are very strange."
"It's okay, I'm an acquaintance. I was captured by them from Jinghu to Luzhou. The famous Green Forest hero in Qi, Ma Baozi, and Shi Scholar." Ning Zhiwen smiled.
Wu Zhengting's face suddenly turned pale. Of course, he knew that these two people could take people away from He Rentu's nose. Needless to say, his cultivation level was no longer mentioned. He suddenly found that he had a big misunderstanding. Two masters could easily kill Ning Zhiwen and Ben Kuan at such a distance, but he was powerless to stop him. Even Ning Zhiwen himself was a good martial arts master.
"A native of Qi!" he said tragically.
"If I hadn't been seriously injured, how could you have found my trace?" The horse leopard, who had half of his body hanging on Shi Shusheng, looked at Wu Zhengting and said with a weak voice. "I bet you discovered me, right?"
"Why did you two run here? Also, it looks very injured!" Ning Zhiwen shook Wu Zhengting away and walked towards the two. Wu Zhengting did not stop him, but instead retreated towards Ben Kuan step by step. In Wu Zhengting's eyes, Ben Kuan's importance is not comparable to that of Ning Zhiwen now, whether it is personal friendship with him or to the public.
"There is no way out, so I can only escape to the Ming Dynasty. I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would be so strict. We have no place to stand. I just saw you entering the county magistrate's mansion during the day. I thought that there was still a passionate relationship, so I could only come to find you." "Shishen hung the horse leopard on his shoulders and said angrily: "I wanted to find you quietly, who would have thought there would be another master here?" His eyes looked at Wu Zhengting. Those who could be called masters by him were naturally really masters." Ma leopard was seriously injured. Wasn't he discovered this?"
"You two can come to find me Ning, but Ning is flattered. What's wrong? Cao Hui killed the donkey?" Ning Zhiwen asked with a smile.
"You are the donkey!" Although he was angry and weak and his face was paler than snow, the horse and leopard still plucked up their strength to retort Ning Zhiwen.
Ning Zhiwen laughed, "Okay, I'm a donkey, okay, two great heroes, since they come to me, they will look down on me. Let's go and talk."
