My enemies became my companions

Chapter 233 Min Ning's cunning mind

After noon, Min Ning walked quickly towards Chen Yi's residence.

After a while, she arrived outside the courtyard gate. The door of the hall was wide open. Chen Yi was leisurely sipping tea with his head down. There was no doubt that it was the concubine who did it. She served that person inside and outside the house all day long. As long as that person didn't bully her, she would not complain.

Chen Yi saw the figure in tight clothes from afar. She was imitating him and now she was standing upright outside the door with a sword on her back and a knife on her waist.

After drinking the tea in his hand, Chen Yi stood up and went to greet him.

"You're here." Chen Yi was still a little surprised that Min Ning came to visit him, and then he teased, "Why... can't you wait?"

Min Ning was unhappy to see that he was not serious, but when he thought of his plan, he took a deep breath and said with a straight face: "I must have something to ask you. If there is nothing, there is no need to ask you."

Chen Yi rubbed his chin and thought for a while. Now he wanted to meet Qin Qingluo. However, if he went to the Annan King’s camp for no reason and was discovered by someone with ulterior motives and the news reached the palace, he would definitely get into trouble.

"Are you looking for me to help you investigate the case?" Chen Yi asked.

Min Ning nodded slightly.

Chen Yi said, "Let's go without further delay."

Chen Yi planned to take advantage of the opportunity of investigating the case to go to the capital area sixty miles away from the capital to meet the prince who was pregnant with his child.

Min Ning was not the type to waste time, so the two of them went to the West Factory and brought back two horses. They immediately mounted the horses, and a man and a woman rode along Zhuque Street, heading straight out of the city.

"Aren't you going to ask me what case I'm investigating?" Min Ning suddenly asked.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "What's there to ask? To me now... it's all the same."

Min Ning glanced at Chen Yi, and there was obviously suspicion in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Yi remembered that she had once taught him a move called "Crushing Wind and Cutting Rain". This move was extremely practical. After he learned it, he used it almost all the time. Now that she had returned from the underground palace, she had comprehended the sword intent left by Zhou Yitang, and it seemed that she was trying to use both a knife and a sword. So it might not be a bad idea for him to teach her a move now.

By the way, it can also prove that what I said is true.

Chen Yi then asked: "Do you want me to prove it to you?"

Seeing his confident look, Min Ning was half-believing and half-doubting, but still nodded.

On horseback, Chen Yi drew out the Hou Kang sword from behind him, and then suddenly thrust the sword straight forward with force.

The sword flashed past like a bang, and crosswinds exploded on both sides of his body, ruffling Min Ning's hair on horseback.

The horse beneath her roared in fright, raising its front hooves high. The reins in Min Ning's hands were almost thrown off. She widened her eyes, and she clearly felt the powerful sword intent.

"The Zen-killing Sword, I created it myself."

Chen Yi didn't even turn around to look at her shocked expression.

Min Ning clenched the reins tighter with both hands, and after calming the horse, she carefully recalled the sword. The more she recalled, the more she discovered its exquisiteness, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

"You... have already entered the fourth rank?"

she asked incredulously.

"Not bad." Chen Yi said with a smile.

Min Ning had mixed feelings for a moment. Although the difference between the fifth and fourth ranks was in martial arts, and there were legends in the martial arts world about someone reaching the fourth rank overnight, but in just a few days, the legend appeared in front of her. She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

In less than a year,
Is this still the Chen Yi who stole his martial arts skills?

Jealousy rose slightly, but Min Ning suppressed it again. She smiled half self-deprecatingly and half with relief. So what if he was promoted to the fourth rank? He was still a hungry ghost in the world of lust.

Even so, she was still curious.

"How come your martial arts...are progressing so fast?"

"I learned martial arts so quickly, in fact, it was more or less a case of forcing things to happen. My foundation was not very solid, and what I learned was mixed."

On horseback, Chen Yi said, turned around and smiled:
"However, I will wait for you in the top ten of the martial arts ranking someday."

Min Ning's cheeks felt slightly hot when he heard this, but he shook his head and snorted softly:

"I wonder if Captain Chen wants to wait for me in the top ten of the martial arts list, or if he wants to catch up with the ninth-ranked master so that she can support the bed with one hand."

Chen Yi widened his eyes and asked:
"how do you know…"

Min Ning spat and cursed him inwardly for being so shameless.

If you ask how she knows, an ordinary woman would never say it out loud, but Min Ning is Min Ning, she has never had anything to hide, so she said directly:

"When we were in the underground palace, your concubine asked me if I was tired of supporting myself with one hand. I didn't think much of it at first, but later, I inadvertently recalled this scene and it made me realize it."

Now when thinking of Chen Yi, the straightforward Min Ning always thinks of some unnecessary things.

"Then why didn't you think of it then?"

Young Master Min answered subconsciously:
"I didn't care about you that much then."

The next moment, Min Ning realized what he had said and his face turned red, then he coughed in a mature manner.

Chen Yi came up to her with a smile, wanting to see her expression with interest.

Min Ning took a breath in dissatisfaction and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword. After searching for a while, he couldn't find his beloved sword. He suddenly looked over and realized that he had given it to him a long time ago. What a coincidence...

A breeze blew across the capital, hitting Young Lady Min's slightly irritated and hot face. She didn't like it, so she turned her face away and raised her hands to block the wind.

Chen Yi was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and asked: "Are you blushing?"

"Are you sick?" Min Ning gritted his teeth.

"I'm not well yet." Chen Yi said with a smile.

"You are sick, so don't watch it."

"Just watch."

"Why do you do that?" Min Ning got angry.

Chen Yi reached out and tapped her head and said, "Because I like you."

Min Ning was stunned. That was what she said at that time.

She spurred her horse and whipped it to make it gallop faster, trying to shake off the shameless man. But when she turned around, she saw Chen Yi also waving the whip and chasing after her.

Min Ning turned around and saw that he couldn't get any closer, so he cursed at the horse under him: "Didn't you eat?"

After saying this, she hardened her heart and whipped the horse hard.

horse:"……"

The good horse galloped and finally opened up a long distance. After Min Ning recovered, he looked back and found that he had left Chen Yi too far behind and he had disappeared.

Min Ning stared at the horse fiercely: "Why are you running so fast?"

horse:"……"

Holding the reins and slowing down the pace, Min Ning waited for a moment. Chen Yi caught up with her, and when she heard the voice, she did not look back at him.

Min Ning took a deep breath and said, "Don't try to tease me for no reason."

"Why?"

"Because you like me." Young Master Min said sullenly.

After looking at it with satisfaction, Chen Yi turned around and thought to himself.

Knowing that she cared about him, Chen Yi felt a little guilty about hooking up with other women. He pulled the reins, slowed down his pace, and asked:

"What do you want me to check?"

Talking about business, Min Ning said directly:

"Qiu Gang, the secretary of Zhige, has disappeared. Do you have any clues?"

Chen Yi was silent for a moment.

What clue do I have? I killed him with my own hands. What clue do I have?

Seeing that he didn't reply, Min Ning didn't think of anything at first, but felt a little embarrassed.

You know, investigating the case was just an excuse to make him fall into my hands.

After she found the Yuchun ointment in her sister's room, she wanted to implement her plan without delay.

But if you want to find Chen Yi, you must have a reason. If you disturb him without reason, you might be taken advantage of by this guy. If he finds out that you have other intentions, he will even eat you up.

Unfortunately, when Min Ning returned to Dongchang, he happened to see an urgent case. The palace had ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

Min Ning had met Qiu Gang, the Minister of Stopping War, once before. His impression of him was neither good nor bad. This could just be an excuse, so he rolled up the case file and took it with him.

Young Master Min has thoughts, and Chen Yi naturally has thoughts too.

He will soon be included in the Spring and Autumn Register and assigned to the Department of Stopping Wars. Qiu Gang can be considered...a colleague.

Killing a colleague with one's own hands, no matter what the reason, will eventually cause a lot of trouble once it is discovered.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yi said:
"I think this matter may be related to King Annan. Now that I have advanced martial arts skills, I can just go and investigate."

Min Ning had no objection to this. After all, investigating the case was just an excuse.

She touched the porcelain bottle in her arms carefully.

Young Master Min took a deep breath.

She didn't plan to give this medicine to Chen Yi.

She had thought about it before. If she gave it to him, he would never be fooled...

But what if... it's for herself?
Someone like him...would he just sit there and do nothing?

Thinking of this, Min Ning's cheeks suddenly felt hot for no reason, and he cursed himself inwardly.
Why do I have so many tricks?

There will be an update tonight, but it will be later, maybe around 10 o'clock.
