Click to take a look.

"ah--"

Many people are frightened by a bloody photo that comes their way.

It was an extremely dark and bloody photo, showing a row of pale legs.

The legs are not scary, but just the legs are very scary.

Continue to scroll down.

What followed was a photo that was more bloody than the last.

"vomit--"

Some girls couldn't stand it and vomited on the spot.

The entire article reveals all the crimes committed by the Ling family and Ling Zhiying.

No one questions the authenticity of these pictures and text descriptions, because this news is officially released.

Although the article did not mention Xiao Zining at all, nor did it clarify anything for him.

But at this moment.

Those who had scolded Xiao Zining were now speechless and silently withdrew from the crowd.

The onlookers who witnessed everything on the banks of the Qingjiang River will never forget what happened tonight.

I will never forget that handsome and upright figure.

——

In a dark alley.

Xiao Zining stood in the middle, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Follow me and come out."

A man walked out of the darkness, clasped his fists and saluted Xiao Zining, "Mr. Xiao, my husband would like to invite you to Jinling Tianyunting."

"Who is your husband?" Xiao Zining frowned slightly.

"An old friend of the Chu family in the capital."

After saying that, the man turned and left.

"The Chu family in the capital?" Xiao Zining twitched his lips.

He already knew who was coming.

——

Jinling Wangyuan Peak.

Tianyunting.

A silver-white figure sat cross-legged on the mat.

White smoke curls up and the fragrance of tea fills the air.

There were footsteps behind him, and he didn't look back. He raised his hand and slowly poured a cup of tea into another teacup.

I saw a black figure walking next to him and sitting down cross-legged.

"Long time no see." Chu Tianjiao's voice was cold and he pushed the wine glass in front of Xiao Zining.

Xiao Zining's voice was light, "Not long, only two or three years."

"Yes, in just two or three years, you have gone from a fledgling soldier to the only commander-in-chief with such glory in China... Congratulations!"

He said congratulations on his lips, but there was no joy on his face.

There was a long silence.

Xiao Zining raised his glass and clinked it with him.

"Why do you, a local tyrant from the Northeast, come to see me in such a free time?" Xiao Zining familiarly took out the cigarette from the other party's cigarette case and lit it.

A smile appeared on Chu Tianjiao's serious face, but the smile was a bit cold.

"Just for the sake of being an old friend, I came here to give you a few words."

"If you don't want to die, don't set foot in Kyoto. You are no longer the Xiao Zining you used to be. Of course, if you insist on seeking death, I won't bother to stop you."

Chu Tianjiao gently played with the finger on his hand and said calmly, "In this high-level power struggle, you and I are just sacrificial pawns."

"It's just that I, Chu Tianjiao, was born into a noble family and was hailed as a rare general in a century! I didn't expect... that this position of commander-in-chief would allow others to take the lead, but I could only live in a corner.

Green leaves serve as a foil in a barren land."

"But..." Chu Tianjiao smiled faintly, "Soon, it will be time for me to make great achievements and show my grand ambitions."

"Xiao Zining, your time has passed."
