C997

The torrential rain had just begun to subside when a visitor arrived at Duke Chang Ning's mansion.1

This was a man in his prime, with a resolute face, calm temperament, and swift footsteps. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, someone came out to greet him. He asked respectfully and surprisingly, "Vice Minister Qian, why have you come here at this time?"

It was already dusk.

At a time like this, it was indeed not suitable to pay a visit to the duke.

However, the door only welcomed them, not blocking them at all. He knew that this Vice Minister Qian of the Military Department was not only a good friend of Duke Changning, but was also his own uncle.

"Where's the duke?" Vice Minister Qian handed the wet umbrella to the door, looking rather anxious. From the looks of it, he did not leave after the rain had stopped. Instead, he came out of the rain.

"The duke is in the east study room, currently studying. If the assistant minister has anything to do, he can head there directly." A steward who was approaching the door cupped his hands towards Vice Minister Qian and answered the question for the door.

"En!" Vice Minister Qian turned around and walked quickly towards the east study. His identity was not ordinary, and he was very close with Duke Changning, so there was no need to wait for him to report to the mansion.

Just as he entered the Moon Gate, Vice Minister Qian saw Duke Changning already standing on the doorstep, cupping his hands in greeting.

This young duke was born handsome, with a long body and broad shoulders, and an imposing appearance. In terms of just the skin, there were very few young elites in the capital that could compare to him. It was even harder to find someone with an extraordinary bearing.

As the saying goes, behaving like a jade when befriending a person. Young master is unparalleled in life. He is referring to people like Duke Changning.

"Paying respect to the king!" Vice Minister Qian hurriedly paid his respects.

"Uncle, there's no need to be courteous. After the autumn rain, you'll be able to cool down. Quickly take your seat and drink a cup of hot tea." The smile on Ji Ning's face was like the spring breeze, his attitude was amiable and casual.

Vice Minister Qian had arrived in a hurry. He clearly had something important to do, but he didn't ask about it at all. He only cared about understanding the other party's hard work.

If it was any other day, Vice Minister Qian would naturally chat with Ji Ning with a smile. However, the situation today was different. He entered the room, and before he sat down, he said to Ji Ning, "Qi Lianshan has reported!"

Saying this, he took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Ji Ning. "This is the document I copied …" You don't have to think about avoiding suspicion. Tomorrow, this war report will be known to the entire city! "

Kining nodded and returned to his seat, unfolding the pages and skimming through them.

The face that always seemed to have a warm smile on it, the face that Mount Tai could not change even if it collapsed in front of his face, suddenly froze.

Vice Minister Qian put down the tea bowl. He was not surprised by Ji Ning Yu's expression at all as he sighed, "Who would have thought that the Sun family would join hands with the Qin family and the Thousand Extreme Martial School and collude with the Heavenly Law Protector to do something so infuriating?

"It's a good thing that the heavens have blessed me. During this time of crisis, Bai Xiuli managed to hold on! He had also obtained the help of the experts of the martial arts world to investigate the conspiracy in time. After a bloody battle, he had still managed to preserve the Sun Moon City. It was a great pleasure to be able to get rid of the Yale Protector!

"Your Highness, the war at Sun Moon City is a great victory that has never been seen before. "Many talents have emerged from this battle. Your Highness must strike first to gain the upper hand and win over them as wings …"

At this point, Vice Minister Qian saw that Jining was still in a daze and couldn't help but stop talking. He called out twice, but the other side couldn't recover their wits.

This surprised him greatly, to the point that he could not understand it.

How could the usually composed and magnanimous Duke Changning have lost his composure like this?

Although the battle at Sun Moon City was incomparably tragic and the internal affairs were unimaginable, the results of the battle were rarely seen. However, it was still not enough to cause Duke Changning to be stunned for so long.

Vice Minister Qian stood up in confusion and walked to Ji Ning's desk. He curiously looked at the document in his hands. His index finger just so happened to fall upon someone's name.

The pale-faced prince's hands were bloodless and his fingers had already shattered the paper!

That person's name was only two words.

Cheng Qing!
