Xuanxia

Chapter 766 Argument
Da da da.

Ning Wuwang and Ning Wushu stood in the backyard of the government office, with secret envoys guarding them not far behind them.

"Brother Hong, how is he?"

Ning Wushu didn't look at his elder brother, but asked Hong Zhi.

Ning Wuwang smiled slightly: "We are both injured, but you ask your sworn brother instead of asking me?"

"You are standing here peacefully, what's the matter?"

Ning Wushu's attitude was quite cold: "He is different. He faced Jiang Baichuan directly. Even a calm man like my adoptive father had to send people to Beijing for treatment. He must be seriously injured."

"…He was indeed seriously injured."

Ning Wuwang said softly, "But don't worry, little sister. There are great doctors in the capital and top alchemists sent by Marshal Hong. He will be fine."

"Oh."

Ning Wushu responded indifferently, then walked to a stone chair and sat down.

From beginning to end, she never looked at her elder brother straight in the eye.

Ning Wuwang was helpless: "Little sister, are you blaming me?"

"How dare you?"

Ning Wushu said leisurely: "You are the apple of my father's eye. He invested so many resources in you and helped you enter the Cave Heaven Realm at a young age, but it was not for you to charge into battle and fight to the death."

"..."

Ning Wuwang was speechless. After a bitter smile, he sat down beside her and said softly, "I will help you this time."

"you will not."

Ning Wushu said calmly, "When the northern border was in danger, I, a person who had never seen blood, packed up my belongings and rushed to the front line without saying a word. What about you? Oh... yes, you said that day that you wanted to copy scriptures and would not accompany me."

Ning Wuwang's eyes dimmed slightly.

"By then, you will have reached the ninth level of spiritual enlightenment."

Ning Wushu sneered, "You're only in your early twenties and have reached the ninth level of spiritual enlightenment! Everyone says Fu Qingzhou is amazing, but they don't know how amazing you are!"

"What do you mean by amazing?" Ning Wuwang still smiled bitterly: "You also said that, it was just all given to me by my father using his resources."

"Isn't that also the real Ninth Realm?"

Ning Wushu said coldly: "If you had gone to the front line at that time, how many soldiers would have been spared from casualties?"

"...You know, my father wouldn't allow it." Ning Wuwang lowered his head.

"He won't allow it?"

Ning Wushu sneered again: "Did he allow me to go to the front line? Didn't I go anyway? No matter how famous the sword master is, he is just a father. You don't even dare to challenge your own father? Why are you so useless?"

Ning Wuwang sighed.

"Anyway, I won't count on you this time."

Ning Wushu said, stood up, and said calmly: "As long as you don't cause trouble."

After saying this, she held the saber at her waist, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, little sister!"

Ning Wuwang stopped her and said, "I... have something to tell you."

Ning Wushu stopped, frowned and looked back.

"If Jiang Baichuan really comes and starts a war, you must protect yourself."

Ning Wuwang said slowly: "You have never faced him directly, so you don't know how powerful and dangerous he is now..."

"That's enough." Ning Wushu frowned and interrupted him: "Just be a coward and don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, she strode away without looking back.

Ning Wuwang didn't chase after her, but just looked at her back and sighed.

At this time, a secret envoy slowly approached him, leaned over and said, "Master Ning, Master Fu..."

Ning Wuwang's expression perked up slightly, and he broke away from the argument with his younger sister just now, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"he……"

The emissary came closer and whispered a few words.

Ning Wuwang was stunned after hearing this: "He wants to monitor Lord Yuan? And he wants my help?"

The secret envoy nodded helplessly.

Mingjian Pavilion is indeed a top-level violent agency that monitors all officials on behalf of the emperor and executes first and reports later.

But... even for them, it is impossible for them to monitor a provincial governor casually!
Even if Mingjian Pavilion wanted to investigate, monitor, and track an official of this level, they had to write down the relevant reasons in a secret letter and then submit it to the sword master and the emperor for review. Only after they have approved it can they take any action.

Of course, if certain special circumstances occur, the commander of the Secret Sword Pavilion... that is, Li Jingzhe, has the power to temporarily dispatch secret envoys to track down high-ranking officials.

But firstly, Fu Qingzhou is not Li Jingzhe, and secondly... Yuan Zi really didn't do anything wrong!
"Come on, take me to see them."

Ning Wuwang held his forehead and stood up.

However, when he walked back into the inner hall, he saw Fu Qingzhou and Yuan Zizheng chatting and laughing.

"In that case, let's follow Master Fu's arrangement." Yuan Zizhen said with a smile, "But Master Fu is so anxious, could it be that he wants to give the sword away before the Xuanmeng Ceremony?"

"If it can be done, it would be great..."

Fu Qingzhou was halfway through his speech when he noticed Ning Wuwang approaching. He quickly stood up and bowed, "Brother Ning, you're here."

"what happened?"

Ning Wuwang had a puzzled look on his face, his eyes flickering between him and Yuan Zizheng: "You want..."

"I'm going to send someone to investigate Lord Yuan."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I also need Brother Ning's help."

There was still doubt in Ning Wuwang's eyes.

Fu Qingzhou was straightforward and said, "Benevolent Sword."

When Ning Baimei talked about the ownership and plan of the four swords, namely Ren, Yi, Li and Zhi, Ning Wuwang and Li Jingzhe were both present. This matter was an absolute secret to others, but certainly not to them.

Ning Wuwang suddenly understood, but there was still a hint of doubt in his tone: "But Lord Yuan's reputation for benevolence has long been known far and wide, why do we still need to investigate?"

Fu Qingzhou spread his hands.

"It was proposed by this officer."

Yuan Zizhen laughed and said, "How can a dignified Mingjian Pavilion give away the Eight Swords of the Kingly Way so casually?"

After listening to this, Ning Wuwang finally smiled: "So that's how it is, Lord Yuan is really..."

It's really unnecessary.

Fu Qingzhou cursed secretly in his heart.

But on the surface, he naturally had to cooperate with Ning Wuwang and praise Lord Yuan a lot.

"Anyway, I need you, Brother Ning, to protect Lord Yuan."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at Ning Wuwang and said, "You and I both know that Jiang Baichuan may appear at the upcoming Xuanmeng Ceremony. At that time, you must not let that evil villain hurt Lord Yuan."

"I see." Ning Wuwang relaxed. "Brother Fu doesn't need to tell me about this matter. I have to do it too."

"So……"

Fu Qingzhou bowed to Yuan Zizheng and said, "I'll take my leave now."

"Well, just leaving?" Yuan Zizheng was stunned.

"Yes, I originally wanted to have dinner, but Lord Yuan, please don't blame me for being rude... I just have too many things to do right now."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "If you become the master of the Sword of Benevolence, you will probably have to take part in the siege of Jiang Baichuan. We must sit down and have a good chat. But since you are not holding the Sword of Benevolence at this time, I will naturally have to make other arrangements... I am really sorry."

After saying that, he strode away without waiting for Yuan Zizheng's response.

This action not only stunned Yuan Zizheng, but also Ning Wuwang.

"This... is decisive and straightforward, without any hesitation."

Yuan Zizhen narrowed his eyes, looked at Fu Qingzhou's disappearing back, and said meaningfully: "Although Master Fu is young, he is indeed a man who can handle great responsibilities."

"Sir Yuan, Envoy Fu may have been a little reckless, please forgive me."

Ning Wuwang smiled at him and said, "Let's eat this meal."

As they were talking, several secret envoys slowly walked into the inner hall.

There was no murderous aura on them and their faces were quite gentle. They saluted Yuan Zizheng one after another.

But now, Yuan Zizhen was really "surrounded" by them.

……

Fu Qingzhou strode out of the inner hall, but before he had gone far, Wen Renjun came over quickly.

"Master Fu, how is it?" he asked with shining eyes.

Fu Qingzhou had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "No big deal - don't worry about Yuan Zizhen these days. If he wants to find you, have someone report to him and tell him that you're working for me."

Wen Renjun was startled: "What does this mean?"

"Don't ask more questions than you should."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder: "In short, leave him alone."

"...Yes." After a moment's silence, Wen Renjun bowed seriously in response.

Fu Qingzhou stopped talking nonsense and strode out of the government office.

Outside the yamen gate, Ning Wushu was already leaning against the carriage waiting.

Seeing Fu Qingzhou coming, she smiled, jumped onto the carriage first and got into the carriage. Fu Qingzhou followed her in without saying a word.

"how?"

As soon as he entered the carriage, Ning Wushu asked in a serious tone.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said softly, "He wants the sword of benevolence, but he doesn't seem to dare to hold the sword in front of me. Instead, he used some high-sounding words to circumvent me... So I didn't show him the sword today. I'll leave him alone for a few days to see if he's anxious."
