Chapter 143: The Secret of Blood Killing

This time, the Hanlin Academy team of 150 people is moving forward quickly, because they are all martial arts practitioners, so both men and women can adapt to horseback riding, but there are still alternatives, Ming Jiutian drove a carriage, and then Wei Xueru took a carriage, and everyone else rode horses.

"We are taking the official road today, so we will not pass through the state capitals along the way, speed up the process, and before the city gate closes tonight, we must rush to the Nanzhou capital," Ling Tianzong said.

After traveling for nearly a day, the horse finally came to the outside of the Nanzhou Mansion after the sun set, and at this time, the lord of the Nanzhou Mansion had already led a group of local officials to meet him here.

"But Dean Ling's Hanlin Academy team?" Zhao Jing, the head of the Nanzhou Mansion, stepped forward and asked.

"This must be the Lord of Nanzhou Mansion Zhao, disrespectful" Ling Tian dismounted and arched his hand.

"Dean Ling is polite, I have already received a notice, this mansion has been waiting for a long time, and the mansion has prepared a banquet to wash the dust for you," Zhao Jing shouted to the Hanlin Academy team.

"In this way, it will disturb" Ling Tianzong politely replied.

"I don't know if the little marquis of Dongping Mansion can be in the entourage?" Zhao Jing then asked.

"Jiutian classmate, Mansion Master Zhao wants to see you" Ling Tianzong hesitated for a moment and then shouted to Ming Jiutian in the carriage behind.

Ming Jiutian heard the call and jumped out of the carriage, today's Ming Jiutian was wearing his signature round-necked robe, holding a folding fan, no matter how he looked like a scholar, but the white hair looked a little different.

"Dean Ling, who is looking for me?" Ming Jiutian came to Ling Tianzong's side and asked while shaking a fan in one hand.

"Let me introduce you, this is the Nanzhou Mansion Lord Zhao Jing Zhao Mansion Master," Ling Tianzong introduced.

"Zhao Jing, the lord of Nanzhou Mansion, has seen the little marquis," Zhao Jing bent down and saluted.

Ming Jiutian looked at Zhao Jing, it is said that Zhao Jing's information has been read by himself, he has served as the head of the mansion for more than 20 years, and the governance of the mansion is also in good order, due to the perennial war in Nan'an Mansion, so Nanzhou Mansion has become the largest logistics supply warehouse in Nan'an Mansion.

This Zhao Jing has a round face, always smiling slightly when he speaks, he is a very smooth person, although he does not show hostility to the Ming family, but he is already in the camp of the Yang family, but it is also accurate.

"Lord Zhao is polite, I'm just hanging up a false name, and I'm not an official in the court, so don't be polite" Ming Jiutian waved his hand and asked all the more than 100 magistrates behind Zhao Jing to get up, so many classmates looked at it, how bad.

"The little marquis's style of doing things is really eclectic, I have heard of it before, and today I can see that it is really better to meet and be more famous" This Zhao Jing's words are really very listened to, and at first glance he is an old fritter who has been crawling in the officialdom for decades.

"Where, let's go in and talk, so many classmates are still waiting" Ming Jiutian was a little unsuitable for such an occasion, and didn't want to greet these officials, so he directly proposed to go in for dinner.

Since Ming Jiutian proposed to go in to rest, Zhao Jing naturally would not refute Ming Jiutian's face, and could only lead the local officials to follow him to the Nanzhou Mansion, at this time, the back garden of the Nanzhou Mansion was already full of banquets, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and with the arrangement of the housekeeper, the team of Hallym Academy was also quickly seated.

"Teachers and students of Hanlin College, it is my honor to be able to visit my Nanzhou Mansion today, let us raise the wine glass in our hands, and wish our Hanlin College team a brilliant record in this competition" Zhao Jing raised his glass and loudly encouraged you to the Hanlin College team, and drank the wine in the cup after speaking.

After everyone drank a glass of wine together, everyone was casual, the scene was not the kind of restraint just now, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed for a while, although I liked the wine very much, but I didn't like it on this occasion, so Ming Jiutian didn't bother to communicate with others, and sat there drinking by himself, accompanied by Dugu Yanran and Hua Ruyan.

"Ming Gongzi, don't you know if I can sit here?" Wei Xueru walked towards Ming Jiutian in a white lotus step.

"Of course, please sit" Ming Jiutian made a gesture of please.

"Ming Gongzi, I advise you to drink less wine, this is not Dongping Mansion," Wei Xueru said while drinking.

"What Miss Wei said is very true, but I rarely get drunk when I drink for nine days tomorrow" Ming Jiutian knew the meaning of Wei Xueru's words.

"Xueru, it turns out that you also use this kind of rouge from the water hibiscus" Hua Ruyan, who was sitting next to Wei Xueru, smelled the smell of Wei Xueru's body.

"Uh... Yes, I like it too" Wei Xueru first looked at Ming Jiutian and then responded absentmindedly.

"Yanran and I are also using it, isn't the taste unique?" Hua Ruyan seems to have found a fellow believer, and the conversation is endless.

"Yes, the taste is indeed very unique, I like it very much" When she said that she liked it very much, Wei Xueru blushed and lowered her head.

"Xueru, what's wrong with you, are you unwell?" Hua Ruyan saw Wei Xueru's face blushing.

"No, I'm just not strong enough to drink, and I've just drunk a little too much," Wei Xueru explained in a panic.

"It's okay, don't drink anything, you see the two of us never drink," Hua Ruyan suggested with a smile.

Maybe it was a day's journey, the dinner party ended soon, and Ming Jiutian followed the Zhao family's subordinates to a small courtyard arranged for him in advance.

"Why don't I live with other classmates?" Ming Jiutian watched as he was taken somewhere else, as if he no longer lived with other classmates.

"Back to the little marquis, it was the lord of the mansion who ordered us to bring the little marquis to this courtyard, which is the best place to rest because of the quiet environment and avoiding being disturbed," the servant explained.

But this place is too far away from other places, and even his own bodyguard, Crocodile San, has not been arranged with him, and Ming Jiutian is a little beginning to wonder if this Zhao Jing has any intentions.

"Okay, you guys go back, I'm going to rest" Ming Jiutian walked into this small courtyard and dismissed the people, and entered the small bamboo house alone.

This small bamboo house looks like a woman living in terms of geographical location and production process, with the attitude of being safe when you come, Ming Jiutian walked in, and sure enough, there was a smell of vanilla as soon as the door was opened.

"Friend, you must have been waiting for a long time, right?" Ming Jiutian lit the candle and said to a dark corner in the bedroom.

"Little Hou Ye is really powerful, I admire it" A young man in black armor and about twenty-five or sixteen years old walked out.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me? I don't have the habit of chatting with men in the middle of the night," Ming Jiutian sat down.

"Don't you ask me who I am?" The corners of the young man's mouth rose and he asked with a slight meaning.

"I don't care who you are, if you want to say that I don't ask you, you will say the same, you don't want to say, I asked in vain" Ming Jiutian didn't look at the specific appearance of the young man.

"Zhao Zhikun, the son of Zhao Jing, the lord of the Xiannan Prefecture, has a very important matter to discuss with the little marquis here" Zhao Zhikun's expression was solemn, and he looked very serious.

"Then let's say, I'll listen," Ming Jiutian spread his hands and said.

"My father has invited the little marquis to talk about the secret room," Zhao Zhikun said, twisting a flower pot in the corner of the wall, and the wardrobe at the root of the wall suddenly moved sideways to the right, revealing a secret door.

"You can go if you say go, who knows if it's Longtan Tiger's Den inside?" Ming Jiutian sat there and did not move.

"My father said you will definitely come," Zhao Zhikun said and showed Ming Jiutian a thing, which was a sign with the word blood shadow written on it.

It turned out to be an uncle and grandfather, knowing this, Ming Jiutian was much more relieved.
