1302 Twelve Docks
"Sister, what's going on? My brother-in-law won't keep all these women in a circle, right?"
Murong Yanran and her brother were sitting in the living room, staring at each other. They couldn't hear any sound in the room. Murong Yixiao's mind suddenly opened up and he asked with doubts on his face.
"Go away, how can he be so dirty?"
No Rong Yanran rolled her eyes at her younger brother angrily. Although Ding Ning was a playboy and these women from the Xuannv clan were not ugly, but with Ding Ning's protective character, she would never say anything to the women who almost killed them.
Wrong thought, as for her brother calling Ding Ning brother-in-law, she was already immune to it and was too lazy to waste any more words.
Although both siblings deliberately avoided what happened before, they still had to face what they had to face. Murong Yanran couldn't help but blush again when she thought of her father's ruthlessness. Murong Yixiao also sighed, wanting to comfort him but couldn't say anything.
.
Night Owl may have known that he was going to die, but he still wanted to put up a desperate fight, but under the pain of Ding Ning's silver needle that magnified the pain a hundred times, he still couldn't resist. In just a few minutes, he couldn't bear the pain and screamed for death.
Like a pig, he explained everything that needed to be explained clearly.
"Since you haven't done many evil deeds, I'll let you go this time. I don't care what methods you use. Inform the Saintess Clan and send me the unharmed Ling Xing to Gusu within three days. Otherwise, don't blame me for crushing you."
Holy women, I believe you know very well that I have this strength."
Ding Ning opened the door and walked out, turned around and said coldly to the dozen or so saint female tribesmen who were pale and trembling, but Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
"Yes, we will notify the clan as soon as possible."
The Saintess clan members were all tortured to death by Ding Ning pricking their acupuncture points with silver needles. In their eyes, Ding Ning was a devil. They dared not be disobedient at all. They nodded obediently like a primary school student. After getting Ding Ning's permission, they were granted amnesty.
He ran away like a deserted man.
Ding Ning's mood was not as relaxed as he showed. He learned from Ye Xiao and these Saintess tribesmen that they were able to find Paradise Island this time, although it was only because Ye Duoxing asked for help from the Saintess tribe's property in the world that their whereabouts were revealed.
.
But Ye Duxing is very cautious and travels through the teleportation array. Even if the fact that she is hiding in Ninghai is exposed, it is actually difficult for the Saints to locate the exact location of Paradise Island and catch her.
The reason why Night Owl was able to find Paradise Island was because an unknown person tipped them off and gave them a list of all the women who were closely related to Ding Ning, saying that as long as they followed them, they would be able to
Find the person they are looking for.
The information provided by this person was very detailed. Except for Lan Mengdie and Pan Xiangyun, all the other women who had anything to do with him were on the list. Even Xiaoyao and Zhao Jingjing, who had an extremely secret relationship with him, were not omitted.
Ye Xiao followed them for two days, but they all went to Paradise Island through the teleportation array, so she could not find any trace of Ye Duxing. In the end, she had to leave a mark of divine consciousness on them. With this mark of divine consciousness, Ye Xiao consumed
A large amount of divine consciousness finally locked the location of Paradise Island.
Of course, Paradise Island's formation is not as vulnerable as Ding Ning thought, but Ye Owl has a formation-breaking magnetic talisman on his body.
The one-time magnetic talisman of the formation, Ye Xiao consumed a lot of magnetic talismans to break the formation to be able to come and go freely on Paradise Island.
From Ye Xiao, Ding Ning got three formation-breaking magnetic talismans and more than a dozen magnetic formation disks that can be deployed at any time. It was a big gain, but if he didn't find out the mysterious person who provided information for Ye Xiao, he would feel like he was stuck in his throat.
I can't be happy no matter what.
After calling Zhu Wuxia and asking her to investigate secretly, Ding Ning calmed down and rushed to Yanziwu with Murong Yanran and her brother.
On the way, Zhang Heping called to urge him. This warrior conference was co-hosted by the National Scholars Office and the Religious Affairs Bureau. The Ninghai 17th Bureau was the organizer. It was unreasonable for him, the director, not to attend the opening ceremony.
However, Ding Ning also smelled something unusual in Zhang Heping's hesitant words. The Seventeenth Bureau and the Religious Affairs Bureau used to belong to the Guoshifu. All previous martial arts conferences were organized by the Seventeenth Bureau. The Religious Bureau had never
I have participated in it, but after being assigned to the Habayashi Guards by the Religious Affairs Bureau this year, I still participated in it. The meaning of this is quite intriguing.
Is this a sign that he wants to weaken the power of the Imperial Guard? It seems that the conflict between the Imperial Guard and the Habayashi Guards has begun to completely arouse, Ding Ning thought thoughtfully.
Murong Yanran didn't say a word when she saw Ding Ning getting into the car, looking very worried. She thought he was worried about the safety of the man walking alone at night, and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to say it.
Murong Yixiao was in charge of driving. He originally wanted to chat with Ding Ning, but seeing that he was not in a high mood, he closed his mouth wisely. The atmosphere in the car became a little dull. At this moment, Ding Ning suddenly said: "Stop the car."
!”
Ga!
When Murong Yixiao heard this, he suddenly stopped and stopped on the side of the road. He looked at the rear mirror in confusion and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay, pick someone up."
Ding Ning opened the car window and waved to Qingyun who was waiting on the roadside: "Here."
"Is this your girlfriend too?"
Murong Yanran looked at Qingyun, who had a slim figure and a veil on her face, walking quickly, and asked with a strange expression.
"Uh, no, he's my friend."
Ding Ning did not introduce Qingyun's meaning in detail. After all, her identity was Chiyang's apprentice, which was a bit complicated.
"This is my sister Murong Yanran, this is her brother Murong Yixiao, and this is my friend Chu Qingyun."
After Qingyun got on the car, Ding Ning introduced them.
"Hello!"
Qingyun had been following the ancestor of the Crane clan before. Ding Ning asked her to wait on the roadside when he took back the ancestor of the Crane clan. Therefore, she already knew the identities of the Murong siblings and did not show any surprise. She nodded in greeting openly.
road.
"Hello!"
The Murong siblings greeted each other politely, but there was obviously a hint of alienation in their attitude.
Qingyun didn't care, and looked at Ding Ning naturally and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Go to the Warriors Conference."
Ding Ning rubbed his temples and said with a tired face.
His soul was traumatized, so although his body was fine, his spirit was extremely easily exhausted. From last night to now, he had never closed his eyes. At this moment, his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep leaning against the car seat.
Murong Yanran and Qingyun looked at his tired look, with a hint of undetectable distress in their eyes, and they kept silent in a tacit understanding.
Murong Yixiao looked at his sister and Qingyun in the rear mirror, both of them silent and cautious, and sighed slightly in his heart, his brother-in-law was good at everything, but he was just a little too carefree.
I don't know how long it took, but Ding Ning felt the car slow down. He opened his eyes drowsily, patted his face to cheer up and asked, "Yixiao, are we there yet?"
"We're almost there. The car ahead can't go any further. We need to take a boat, so get off."
Murong Yixiao slowly parked the car in a parking lot next to a lake.
Someone from Murong's family had already greeted him respectfully, called Young Master, then took the car keys and parked the car for Murong Yixiao.
Ding Ning looked at the vast blue waves of the lake among the green mountains, as gentle and poetic as a quiet Jiangnan woman. His eyes couldn't help but shine, and he praised: "The scenery is picturesque and beautiful. It is such a good place."
"Yes, what a beautiful lake."
Qingyun also praised sincerely.
"Hey, what's this? The beauty is behind."
Murong Yixiao had long been immune to the scenery here, and said with some satisfaction as he led the way to the boat on the lake.
Murong Yanran was obviously very familiar with this place. There was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and she introduced with a smile: "This place belongs to the Guheng Mountains. The lake in front of you is called Jingyue Lake. It is a tributary of Taihu Lake. It is the private territory of the Murong family.
The scenery here can only be regarded as average. What is really beautiful is the twelve linked docks inside. Yanzi dock is one of the water docks. It’s just that the season we came here is wrong. Every year in midsummer, the lake is full of lotus leaves, which is the most beautiful time.
."
"The Twelve Links Dock? Isn't it the Twelve Links Dock mentioned in Chu Liuxiang's novel?"
Ding Ning said jokingly, but he was secretly shocked in his heart. The heritage of a thousand-year-old family is indeed unfathomable. It can actually occupy such a large area of mountains and lakes as private property. No wonder Murong Junlin is called Murong Half City.
"Of course not. The twelve chain docks here are naturally formed water docks surrounding the Hengshan Mountains and the waterway entering Taihu Lake. In ancient times, when fishermen entered Taihu Lake to fish, they would temporarily rest or repair their boats in these water docks. Later, they were used by the Murong family
After buying it, the Twelve Links Water Dock was converted into a private summer resort. Every summer, the upper management of the Murong family would live here for a period of time to escape the summer heat."
Murong Yixiao jumped onto a small boat with ease, and after waiting for Ding Ning and others to board, he waved to the boatman wearing a bamboo hat: "Go to Yanziwu."
"Yes, Master!"
The boatman responded respectfully, nodded to Murong Yanran with a smile, gently rowed the oars, and the boat rowed towards the depths of the lake like an arrow from the string.
The lake water is rippled layer by layer, the breeze is blowing, and the blue waves are rippling, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Ding Ning looked at the boatman with some surprise. He thought he was just an ordinary servant of the Murong family, but he didn't expect that he was actually a trainee. His ability to operate the boat was extraordinary, and he was as smooth as walking on the ground.
Although the boatman's strength is not high, he still has a cultivation level close to the Xuanwu realm. He has a rich heritage from a thousand-year-old family, and his reputation is truly well-deserved.
The lakes and waterways are formed around the mountains. The several water docks passing along the way are all built in the architectural style of white walls and black tiles, showing the gentleness and elegance of the Jiangnan water town. Compared with the majestic and majestic sea of Paradise Island, it is quite unique.
Completely different flavor.
We arrived at Yanziwu. There were hundreds of small boats moored next to the simple wharf specially used to pick up and drop off people. On each small boat, there was a servant of the Murong family acting as a boatman. There were also dozens of arrogant men on the shore who were responsible for registering and entering.
The identity of the people in Shuiwu.
According to Murong Yixiao, these big men responsible for registering identities are composed of people from the 17th Bureau, the Religious Bureau and the Murong family, in order to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake.
As the director of the Seventeenth Bureau of Ninghai, Ding Ning did not recognize all his subordinates, but the staff of the Seventeenth Bureau who were arranged by Zhang Heping to wait for him knew him. After everyone came ashore, a staff member of the Seventeenth Bureau immediately came aboard.
Time came up and he said respectfully: "Bureau Ding, you are here, I am waiting for you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Ding Ning. The people of the Murong family were better, but the eyes of the people from the 17th Bureau and the Religious Bureau already had suspicion in their eyes.
They all know that the Ninghai Seventeenth Bureau just changed a young director some time ago. Like a dragon that sees its head but not its tail, most people are unable to see his true appearance.
They know that the new director is young, but the Ding Ning in front of them is also a bit too young. After all, state affairs are different from Gu Wu. They rely on hard work day after day and year after year.
You are definitely considered young to be a director at that age.
