Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 397 Princess Qi, Young Marquis, and Magistrate Wang!
Outside the county prison.

The mountain breeze in the early morning is cool.

Jiang Ning stepped out of the county prison, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Calculate the time.

He has been in this prison for seven whole days.

He stayed there much longer than he thought.

He originally thought that Grandmaster Zhao Yulong and County Magistrate Wang would come forward.

Besides, Xiao Mingyue’s death had nothing to do with him directly. It was Xiao Mingyue who framed him for her death. He would be able to get out in two or three days at most.

Unexpectedly, because of this matter, he was implicated by a nobleman and had to stay in prison for a few more days.

"Alright!"

"The environment in prison is quiet enough for me to fully practice martial arts, and my strength has improved a lot."

"And I also got an unexpected gain from Long Xingyun!"

at this time.

The heavy iron door in front slowly opened.

creak-

The metal bearings made a harsh sound as they turned.

"My lords, please come in!" Zhao Dai said.

"Brother Jiang, let's go, let's go out!" Bai Luoyu said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Brother Jiang, are you curious why Lord Xiao didn't come today?" Bai Luoyu suddenly asked.

"Did something happen to Master Xiao?"

"Something did happen, but how did Brother Jiang know?" Bai Luoyu was even more surprised.

Jiang Ning said, "Three days ago, I saw him entering the fourth floor of the county prison! I haven't seen him since then! Since Lord Xiao didn't come today, and Brother Bai specifically asked about it, I think something must have happened!"

"Jiang Ning is amazing!" Bai Luoyu praised him and continued, "Marquis Xiao is dead!"

"Dead?" Jiang Ning couldn't help but stop, stunned for a moment, pretending to be surprised.

"He was ambushed by a master and killed with three palm strikes! It should be the master who was imprisoned on the fourth floor of the county prison before! But because there is no file record, we don't know who that master is." Zhao Yulong also spoke at this time.

"I see!" Jiang Ning sighed, "No wonder I saw Lord Xiao enter the fourth floor of the county prison that day and never came up again!"

It seems that Brother Jiang really doesn't know! Bai Luoyu secretly observed Jiang Ning's expression and came to this conclusion in his heart.

In his opinion, Jiang Ning was young and had little experience.

If I knew, I couldn't pretend it was so real.

Then, the group walked out of the iron gate in the front yard of the county prison.

Across the road.

Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan's family had already been waiting there.

Luyi also stretched out her swan neck.

When she saw Jiang Ning appear, their eyes met and tears suddenly flashed in her eyes.

At this time, Jiang Ning walked out of the county prison gate, with his black hair disheveled and looking a little crazy.

There were also obvious stains on the clothes.

She knew at a glance that Jiang Ning had suffered a lot in prison.

Under her care, Jiang Ning's clothes were clean and tidy, and his hair was well-groomed, just like a young man from a wealthy family.

But at this moment it reminded her of the savages in the mountains.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning saw the tears in Lu Yi's eyes, the smiles in Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan's eyes, and the little Doubao jumping on the spot.

He couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Uncle!!" Seeing Jiang Ning's smile, Xiao Doubao immediately let go of Liu Wanwan's hand and ran towards Jiang Ning.

"Little Doubao, slow down!" Liu Wanwan behind him smiled.

Jiang Ning also half-knelt down and hugged the little bean bun that was flying towards him.

"Dudu, you stink!" The little bun threw himself into Jiang Ning's arms, sniffed with his little nose, and then said with his nose wrinkled.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "How about coming down?"

"No!" Xiao Doubao shook his head repeatedly and grasped Jiang Ning's collar tightly with both hands.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile and reached out to rub the little bean bun's head.

"Commander Jiang, we will go back first, in the evening!" Zhao Yulong said.

"Okay! Lord, take care!" Jiang Ning said.

"Brother Jiang, goodbye!" Bai Luoyu closed the folding fan in his hand.

"Brother Bai, take care. I'll bring some good wine tonight!"

Hearing these words, Bai Luoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered the good wine he had drunk in Jiangning before.

"A word is settled!"

"It's a deal!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"Commander Jiang, I'm just a woman, I won't go tonight!" Su Zhi said.

"Then I won't force you, Lord Su. I will visit you another day!" Jiang Ning said.

"Okay!" Su Zhi nodded.

After a while.

After seeing off Zhao Yulong and his group, Jiang Ning came to Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan holding Xiao Doubao.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have worried you these days!" Jiang Ning said.

He could see that Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan had both become a little thinner.

Obviously because of his imprisonment.

"There's nothing to worry about!" Jiang Li patted his chest: "I've been eating well these days. With those adults stepping forward, I believe my brother will be fine!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

"Aning, are you going home now?" Liu Wanwan asked.

"Go home!" Jiang Ning said.

"Let's go home!" Little Bean Bun laughed happily.

In the bathroom.

The heat is steaming.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged in the bathtub, leaning on the edge.

"Sir, you have such great skin!" Lu Yi rubbed Jiang Ning's back vigorously, her face full of envy.

"Practice martial arts well, and when you reach the fourth level in the future, your skin will become better!"

"I know, that's called fairy skin and jade bones!" Lu Yi said.

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Soaking in the bucket of water at a comfortable temperature and enjoying the pleasure of scrubbing his body made him feel peaceful in his heart.

Subsequently.

Lu Yi started to lather and wash Jiang Ning's hair again.

Less than half an hour later.

"Young Master is still so handsome!" After Lu Yi combed Jiang Ning's hair, she admired her masterpiece with a sense of accomplishment in her eyes.

Jiang Ning looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

He was wearing a silk undershirt, all in white.

The originally messy hair was combed neatly by Lu Yi and tied into a bun.

He then touched his brow again.

Looking closely, he could see a faint vertical line between his eyebrows.

The vertical lines are very light and shallow.

If there is, if there is not.

This must be the Heavenly Eye!

He couldn't help but think of the situation when he activated his third eye.

"Sir, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied!" Jiang Ning nodded with a smile.

Then get up.

"Help me get dressed. I have to go to the county magistrate's house to thank him!"

He did not forget that the county magistrate also contributed a lot this time.

Although this was because of Wang Qingtan, he still had to do the necessary etiquette.

The others will come to his welcoming party tonight.

But the county magistrate is different.

There is a difference in generation, closeness, and status.

Therefore, it was impossible for the county magistrate to attend the welcoming banquet prepared for him by Zhao Yulong.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yi nodded in response.

He turned around and took the clothes and shoes that had been prepared aside.

After a while.

Jiang Ning took Lu Yi and walked out of the mansion.

Lu Yi was holding the gift she had prepared long ago. County Magistrate's Mansion.

"Little Marquis!"

Wang Qingtan came out from behind the screen, looked at the young marquis who was chatting happily with his father, and spoke lightly.

"Let me introduce you, this is my daughter!" said a middle-aged man with a goatee and a serious face.

This person is none other than the governor of Dongling County, Wang Shouyi.

Lu Junyi looked at Wang Qingtan at this moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he stood up with a warm smile on his face: "This must be Junior Sister Qingtan! I've heard Master mention you before. He said that you were as cute as a piece of jade when you were a child, and you were a real beauty!"

"Now I see that what he said is indeed correct!"

Hearing these words of praise, Wang Qingtan not only did not feel any joy, but instead felt a little unhappy.

All the exaggerated words were directed at her appearance.

To put it another way, isn't this just praising a vase for its beauty?
Especially when Lu Junyi mentioned her master, she felt even more unhappy!
She did not have a good impression of her master.

For so many years, that person's nominal master has not fulfilled any responsibilities or obligations.

Over the years, she has only met her so-called master a few times.

The total number of times shall not exceed the number of hands.

If that person had fulfilled some of her responsibilities and obligations as a master over the years, with her talent, she would not have just entered the seventh level due to awakening some of her innate wisdom.

And she still remembered what the old man said to her last time.

It is said that she has outstanding looks and her best choice in the future is to marry into the royal family or the imperial family.

This will be of great help to her father's future career, and he will be able to take a step further and ascend to the throne.

However, fighting and killing, the path of martial arts, are not what women are good at.

Thinking of this incident made her even more unhappy!

Then she quickly adjusted her mood.

"Young Marquis, you are exaggerating!"

Seeing Wang Qingtan's indifferent expression, Lu Junyi smiled and no longer showed any more enthusiasm.

As a marquis, what kind of women has he not seen?
What kind of beautiful woman haven’t you played with?

When appearance reaches a certain level, the difference between them is not that big.

At most, it is a difference in style.

With Wang Qingtan's attitude, he was too lazy to make himself unhappy!
And from what he heard from his master's previous conversation, he knew that there were some arrangements for this nominal junior sister.

It was intended to be presented to a prince or nobleman.

The eldest daughter of a county magistrate also has certain political capital.

After all, Wang Shouyi was one of the students of the one from the Imperial Observatory.

He shook his head secretly and stopped thinking about it.

at this time.

A servant came running in.

"Master, there is someone outside asking to see you!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Wang Shouyi just picked up the teacup, scraped it gently a few times, and then put down the tea lid in his hand.

"He said his name is Jiang Ning!"

"Jiangning?" Wang Shouyi murmured.

"Father, it's Commander Jiang!" Wang Qingtan reminded from the side.

"It turned out to be him!" Wang Shouyi smiled slightly and glanced at his daughter.

Then he continued: "Go and ask him to come in!"

"Yes, sir!" The servant looked respectful and slowly retreated.

After a while.

The servant appeared in Wang Shouyi's sight again.

Wang Shouyi looked at his eldest daughter, as if asking, is this the Jiang Ning you mentioned?

Wang Qingtan nodded slightly.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning glanced around and bowed to Wang Shouyi.

"Your subordinate Jiang Ning greets the County Magistrate!"

Wang Shouyi stood up and said, "Since we are at home, there is no need for such false formalities!"

Jiang Ning smiled and took the thank-you gift he had prepared from Lu Yi's hand behind him.

"I was able to be released from prison today, thanks to the county magistrate's kind words! Please accept this small gift!"

"You're too polite, Commander Jiang!" Wang Shouyi nodded slightly and signaled the butler beside him to take the gift from Jiang Ning.

Subsequently.

He said to Lu Junyi: "Let me introduce you, this is Jiang Ning, who used to be the deputy commander of the Inspection Office!"

Wang Shouyi raised his hand and pointed at Lu Junyi and said to Jiang Ning: "This is the young marquis of Guangning Marquisate, Lu Junyi!"

"I know you!" Lu Junyi said to Jiang Ning, "Commander Jiang is really capable. He can make Princess Qi speak for you."

Princess Qi?
As soon as these three words came out.

Jiang Ning and Wang Shouyi were both slightly startled.

Wang Shouyi looked towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was also secretly surprised.

Princess Qi?
In an instant.

Lin Qingyi's figure appeared in his mind, and he remembered what Lin Qingyi said to Wang Qingtan when she left.

He then looked at Wang Qingtan.

Wang Qingtan looked back at Jiang Ning with some confusion.

Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't react, Lu Junyi said no more.

According to his understanding, the princes and nobles rarely dared to talk about the King of Qi and his wife.

Even he dares to speak here.

Because it contains many royal secrets and involves taboos.

He then said to Wang Shouyi: "There are guests coming to visit, so I will leave first. Come back when you have time!"

"Okay, take care, young marquis!" Wang Shouyi continued, "Will I see you off, young marquis?"

"No need!" Lu Junyi glanced at Wang Qingtan indifferently, and seeing Wang Qingtan's indifferent expression, he turned and left.

The man in black holding a sword behind him immediately followed.

After a while.

Wang Qingtan came back after sending Jiang Ning away.

"Father!" She spoke lightly while looking at Wang Shouyi who was waiting in the hall.

"What do you think of this young marquis Lu Junyi?" Wang Shouyi asked.

"I don't know much about it! It's hard to comment!" Wang Qingtan shook his head.

"So what do you think of Commander Jiang?" Wang Shouyi asked again.

“Somewhat mysterious!”

"A bit mysterious?" Wang Shouyi was slightly surprised.

"Yes!" Wang Qingtan nodded, and then continued: "Outstanding talent and strong strength!"

Wang Shouyi nodded slightly at this.

"That's true! According to the investigation, he is not even twenty years old yet, about the same age as you, but he already has the initial characteristics of immortal skin. I think he has entered the fourth rank at an early age. His talent and strength are indeed very strong!"

Having said that, Wang Shouyi looked at his daughter.

"If you were asked to choose a husband, who would you choose?"

Wang Qingtan's eyes widened, seeming a little surprised by this sentence.

Then he shook his head: "I don't choose anyone!"

"Do you know who your father thinks is more suitable for you?" Wang Shouyi suddenly asked.

"Father must think that the young marquis is more suitable to be your son-in-law, right?"

"No!" Wang Shouyi shook his head slightly: "Although Lu Junyi has a high status, he is not suitable for close friendship! Even less suitable for becoming relatives with Guangning Marquis Mansion!"

"If you marry into Guangning Marquis's Mansion, you will never be happy in the future!"

"That's why I didn't ask you to send that young marquis off just now!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingtan opened his eyes slightly, as if he did not expect his father to say this and make this choice.

Wang Shouyi couldn't help but smile charitably when he saw the expression on his eldest daughter's face.

"In Daxia, descendants will carry on the family line and prolong the incense!"

"After your mother passed away, I was satisfied with having you two sisters as my father! I didn't think of marrying a wife or concubines to continue the family line. You should know that my wish is for you two to be happy!"

"Compared to that Marquis, Commander Jiang is obviously much more suitable."

"At this age, he has been recognized by Zhao Yulong. I don't think he will be able to reach the highest position in the government, but he will surely rise to prominence and become famous."

"And Daxia is in turmoil right now. No one can predict what the future will be like, but it is sure that it will not be peaceful!"

"In troubled times, princes and nobles who do not have sufficient military force to rely on are nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered."

"Commander Jiang has a celestial body at this age. He will have a place among the Grandmasters in the future."

"No matter how chaotic the world is, the Grandmaster will always be able to protect a small family!"

"He's a good match for you!"
