Chapter 124 The mystery behind the pearl

Outside the hall door, a man walked slowly in and saw the person coming through the candlelight. Qi Ning suddenly changed his expression and said in a lost voice: "Shen Shenhou!" But he never expected that the person who came in from outside the door turned out to be Ximen Wuhen, the god of the Shenhou Mansion.

Ximen Wuhen was covered with a thick black cotton robe and wearing a cotton hat. It was already winter night. The temperature in the northwest was extremely low. People in Xianyang had already worn thick cotton clothes. The cotton clothes in the northwest had their own characteristics, and there were hanging ears on both sides of the cotton hat. At first glance, Ximen Wuhen's outfit was like an old man walking on the street, but Qi Ning recognized the face at a glance.

No matter what, Qi Ning never expected that Ximen Wuhen would appear in the northwest. He was a little confused, but Hongmendao had already stepped forward and knelt down on the ground: "Greetings to the Lord!"

Ximen Wuhen looked pretty good. He put his hands in his sleeves, glanced at Hong Mendao, and said, "Lao Wu, get up first."

Hong Mendao stood up and stood aside with his hands down. Qi Ning glanced at Hong Mendao. Seeing Hong Mendao's calm expression, he didn't know if this person had good psychological quality or had known that Ximen Wuhen was in the northwest and had no expression on his face.

He recovered slightly, stepped forward two steps, bowed and said, "My father-in-law!"

Ximen Wuhen nodded slightly and walked over to sit down in a chair. Qi Ning glanced at Hongmendao. Hongmendao finally said, "Sir, the divine Hou arrived a few days ago. Without his permission, I dare not disclose it without authorization."

Qi Ning nodded, and Ximen Wuhen smiled and said, "Don't blame him for his son-in-law. I never know whereabouts when I walk around the world. But I am also very interested in the person you meet tonight."

"Father-in-law wants to see him too?"

"I don't need to see him." Ximen Wuhen said, "I will just go to the roof to listen to you later. I already know about the general matter. Beitangqing is the number one general in the Northern Han Dynasty. If he is still alive, the court must know that there is no general in my Great Chu who can match him at present. If he makes a comeback, it will be a great threat to my Great Chu. So whether he is dead or alive, he must figure it out."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and Ximen Wuhen had raised his hand to signal him to sit down.

Qi Ning walked over and sat down opposite Ximen Wuhen, and asked, "How is my father-in-law always good?"

"When you are old and always feel a little uncomfortable, it's no big deal." Ximen Wuhen said: "You took the Northwest in a short time. The emperor is really unique. The great contribution you made this time is enough to make Jinyi's family immortal."

Ximen Wuhen suddenly appeared tonight. Qi Ning still felt something was strange in her heart. She wondered if the court sent Ximen Wuhen to come or not?

Since the Northwest has been taken down and the court has received the news, it will naturally send many officials to take up their posts, and it will also bring many government orders. Qi Ning has no experience in government management and has no intention of handling those cumbersome government orders. At present, it is only temporarily stable in the Northwest situation and waiting for the court to send people to cook.

But Ximen Wuhen was obviously not the one sent by the imperial court to replace him.

The northwest is long from Jianye Capital City, and the memorial sent has not yet arrived in the capital. Naturally, Longtai cannot send people here before he can predict it. Moreover, Ximen Wuhen, as the Divine Marquis Mansion, cannot come to take charge of the northwest.

"If it weren't for the secret help from the fifth senior brother and the people from the Shenhou Mansion, it wouldn't have been so smooth." Qi Ning still seemed quite respectful in front of Ximen Wuhen, not only because he was an old minister of the empire, but also his father-in-law after all.

Ximen Wuhen smiled and said, "If it weren't for your good command, even if they helped each other, it wouldn't have much effect." He coughed and said, "Yes, there's something I want to ask you."

"My father-in-law, please speak!"

"Do you know this person from Zhebu Danba?" Ximen Wuhen asked.

Qi Ning felt a little nervous, but she didn't expect that Ximen Wuhen would suddenly mention Zhebu Danba.

Zhebu Danba was under the throne of the Daxue Mountain Zhuri Dharma. She wanted to use Mrs. Tian to poison Qining in Tian’s mansion, but instead was controlled by Qining. She was secretly detained by Qining, but was suddenly rescued. Qining suspected that it was done by the people from the Shenhou Mansion, but she suffered from no evidence.

Today, Ximen Wuhen suddenly mentioned Zhebu Danba, which naturally surprised Qi Ning.

He thought for a while before asking, “Why did my father-in-law mention this person?”

"I don't hide it from you. You have been under house arrest by Zhebu Danba, and I asked me to take him away." Ximen Wuhen admitted readily: "Now he is also in the hands of the Shenhou Mansion."

Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, "It turned out that my father-in-law sent someone to take it away. I have been curious about who would be interested in Zhebu Danba."

"Do you know who Zhebu Danba is?" Ximen Wuhen frowned and said, "You put Zhebu Danba in house arrest, do you know what the consequences will be if this matter is spread?"

Qi Ning said solemnly: "Does my father-in-law know what Zhebu Danba did?"

"Zhebu Danba has already confessed." Ximen Wuhen said, "When you were on the mission to Dongqi, the lamas from Daxue Mountain were also in Dongqi. They got snow clams from Dongqi. They were going to bring them back to the ancient elephant kingdom, but they were stolen by others. Is this true?"

Qi Ning nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." He thought to himself, how could Ximen Wuhen investigate this matter? He also thought that he came from Jianye Jingcheng to the northwest thousands of miles away. Could it be that he came for this matter?

But I immediately thought that if Ximen Wuhen really wanted to pursue this matter, Ximen Wuhen could question it when he was in the capital, so why did he run to the northwest to ask? He came to the northwest, so there was naturally something else, but I don’t know why he suddenly mentioned this matter for some reason.

"Zhebu Danba and the others thought that Youhanzhu was stolen by Beitang Feng, but later they found out that Youhanzhu might have fallen into your hands." Ximen Wuhen stared at Qi Ning: "I asked you if Youhanzhu is really gained by you. You must answer it accordingly and not deceive you."

Qi Ning thought for a while before asking, "Why did my father-in-law investigate this? Zhebu Danba is sure that Youhanzhu is in my hands?"

"I tell you that the Youhan Pearl is a rare cold medicine in the world. Do you know that snow clams will only appear in the East China Sea, and only sailors with the best water quality can sneak in. Even if it takes several years, they may not be able to find a snow clam." Ximen Wuhen said slowly: "The most important thing is that not all snow clams can produce the Youhan Pearl, and only the real Snow Clam King can raise beads. Think about it carefully, how precious is a Youhan Pearl?"

Qi Ning knew that the Youhan Pearl was produced in the body of the snow clam, but he didn't expect it to be so rare. He didn't know why Ximen Wuhen explained these things, and he couldn't figure out Ximen Wuhen's intentions, so he didn't speak easily.

"The Dharma King Zhu Ri sent his disciples to travel thousands of miles to get the pearls. This Youhan Pearl is naturally extremely important to the Dharma King Zhu Ri." Ximen Wuhen sighed: "It is not good for you to sneak into the capital. It is nothing more than hoping to get the Youhan Pearl back from you. You put him under house arrest. Once the Dharma King Zhu Ri learned about it, it will be a big dispute."

Qi Ning frowned, and Ximen Wuhen continued, "It would be fine if you were someone else, but you were a member of Jinyi's family. In my great Chu, anyone can offend the Dharma King Zhuri, but only Jinyi's family can't." He stared at Qi Ning's eyes and said word by word: "To be more precise, you are the only one who is Qi Ning!"

Qi Ning looked solemn and said, "Did your father-in-law refer to the sword god?"

"So you also know the power of this." Ximen Wuhen sighed, "But you don't know that there are five great masters in this world, all extraordinary masters!" After saying this, he shook his head and said, "Their martial arts cultivation is no longer considered as masters, but people from another time, or they should not exist in this world. It is precisely because they all know that their martial arts cultivation is too terrifying, and any person can stir up trouble in the world, so the five great masters signed a promise of Longshan!"

"What does the Longshan Agreement mean?" Qi Ning had already known in his heart what the Longshan Agreement was about, but he really didn't know where Longshan was and how the five great masters signed the contract.

"The agreement in Longshan is very simple. None of the five great masters should be involved in secular affairs." Ximen Wuhen said: "The most important thing is that they should not help their country deal with other countries. Once any major master is involved in national disputes, then the other four great masters can join forces to kill him."

Qi Ning thought that if Longshan's promise was not for the five great masters, I was afraid that the world would have been in chaos.

"Beigong and Zhuri Dharma King reached an agreement back then, so the two countries have always been at peace with each other." Ximen Wuhen said, "But not asking about the worldly affairs does not mean that they are far away from the world. The great masters are afraid of each other, but they are also careful of each other." After a pause, he said, "Zhuri Dharma King did not make things difficult for Jinyi to manage his family, but you stole the Youhan Pearl. This Youhan Pearl must be something that Zhuri Dharma King cherishes very much. Otherwise, Zhebu Danba would not have been able to go to Jianye, and he would not have harmed you and take back the beads."

Qi Ning's face was even more solemn, with candlelight flashing, and the cold night was cold.

"Since Zhebu Danba is willing to offend Beigong and want to take back the bead, you know how important that bead is." Ximen Wuhen sighed: "You took the lead in stealing the Youhan Pearl first and imprisoning the disciples of Zhuri Dharma King behind. I don't know if the news has reached Daxue Mountain, but think about it yourself. If Daxue Mountain knows these things, will Zhuri Dharma King stop there? In this way, it will provoke a dispute between Beigong and Zhuri Dharma King. Once Zhuri Dharma King really wants to take action, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Qi Ning thought it seemed that this matter was really not small, but no one saw Youhanzhu by himself, at least the people from Daxueshan did not see it with their own eyes, otherwise the people from Gongzhaxi would not have been staring at Beitangfeng. Since that was the case, he would have refused to admit it. After all, Youhanzhu has been integrated into his body and melted with his own blood. Even if the people from Daxueshan believed that he had stole Youhanzhu, he could not provide any evidence. In this way, the Dharma King Zhuri would not be able to find trouble for Beigong Liancheng with confidence.
