Chapter 50: Master's Wife Makes a Plan (First Update)

Daning County Magistrate's Office.

Chen Jingyi stared at Liu Junshan coldly. Liu Junshan lowered his head like a student who had made a mistake facing his teacher.

Chu Ning was confused as he watched from the side. What had the teacher done to offend his master's wife? "Liu Junshan has grown up. He ran back to Daning County from the prefecture without saying a word. If I hadn't forced Jin Le to question him, I wouldn't know what happened."

It's over.

Generally speaking, when a woman calls her husband by his name, it means she is angry.

At the same time, I also knew why the master's wife was so angry.

Jin Le rushed to the city to find his teacher and told him what had happened. The teacher then told Jin Le not to make it public. Then he left in a hurry, using the excuse that a terrible murder had occurred in Daning County to his master's wife.

"Jingyi, I just don't want to implicate you in this matter. After all, you are from the Chen family." Liu Junshan explained.

"It's true that I'm a member of the Chen family, but I'm still Chu Ning's master's wife. Or do you, Liu Junshan, think that I'm not worthy of being Chu Ning's master's wife?"

Liu Junshan was speechless. This was obviously not what he meant.

Chu Ning sighed inwardly, the teacher still didn't recognize the woman clearly.

Generally, at this time, you don’t need to explain, but just admit your mistake.

"Master's Wife, this is all my fault. If you want to blame someone, just blame me. The teacher was just protecting his disciple."

"Of course you are wrong. Since you knew that the matter was serious, why didn't you control Huang Zhongtai's people immediately? If Huang Zhongtai hadn't been informed of the news, would the matter have come to this point?"

"One is too soft-hearted, the other one is too self-righteous. You two are really a perfect match, master and disciple."

Chu Ning: ...

Liu Junshan: …

Chen Jingyi sprayed for several minutes, and only stopped when Liu Jun's head was almost lowered to the ground. Seeing this, Chu Ning hurriedly picked up the teapot beside him and poured tea for him.

"Master's wife, please have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

"Okay, don't bow your head, now think about how to solve this problem."

Chen Jingyi glared at Liu Junshan unhappily, took the tea handed over by Chu Ning, and said, "Huang Zhongtai has already started planning. A big fire broke out in Yihongyuan, and this fire killed many people."

"The steward and waiter of Yihong Courtyard were all burned to death. Your Zhao Bing went to Yihong Courtyard and found eight bodies in the burned private room on the second floor."

"Master and disciple, guess who these eight bodies belong to?"

Chu Ning pondered. Zhao Bing was Huang Zhongtai's confidant when he was the chief, so the discovery of the eight bodies must have been arranged by Huang Zhongtai.

"Huang Xuan and his guards are five, and the remaining three are the three who really died."

"Yes, this is Huang Zhongtai's first step. He must find his son first. There must be people in the town who have seen Huang Xuan, so he must use fire to disfigure him."

Chen Jingyi nodded in satisfaction: "But I added another body in there. Now there are nine bodies in the morgue. The identity of that body is Jin Le. Zhao Bing's book also records nine bodies."

Liu Junshan frowned: "Why not add one more, and include Chu Ning as well?"

"Teacher, the disciple's body cannot appear in there."

Chu Ning answered first, she understood what her master's wife meant.

If he also died in Yihong Courtyard, would Wushuangmen believe this result? What a coincidence, all the suspects died? There must be one person alive to attract the attention of Wushuangmen.

Huang Zhongtai wanted to pick Huang Xuan out, so the master's wife picked Jin Le out as well. Huang Zhongtai knew what the master's wife meant, but he had to cooperate with her, and everyone understood it tacitly.

It seems that Huang Zhongtai should have found five other people to replace Huang Xuan and the other four. If Wushuangmen wants to investigate, they won't be able to trace it back to Huang Xuan.

"Yes, now the only suspect is you, Chu Ning. Wushuangmen will focus all its efforts on searching for you. Even though Ji Bochang's father has some doubts in his heart, he will not pay too much attention to this fire before catching you."

Chu Ning is alive. As long as we catch Chu Ning, we will know how his son died.

"In twelve hours at most, Wushuang Sect will get the news, and it will take six hours for Wushuang Sect to send people to Daning County. But I'm afraid that Ji Bochang's father will contact my Chen family first, so Chu Ning, you must disappear from Daning County in ten hours."

"Why can't we leave now?"

Liu Junshan frowned. Two hours was too short and he couldn't run far.

"This is the only way. Huang Zhongtai has already set up a dragnet outside Daning County. There are two generals in the city alone. Who can guarantee how many are outside the city?"

Chen Jingyi knew that although her husband was smart, he did not come from a large family. She wondered how many experts Huang Zhongtai could recruit to work for him after he became the heir to the Huang family.

Huang Zhongtai may not be able to completely subdue the Huang family members for the time being, but with Huang Zhongtai's means, he can easily recruit a large number of warriors who are vassals of the Huang family.

"I have never met Huang Zhongtai, but I know one thing. Anyone who has succeeded in getting promoted will never easily gamble everything. So what we need to do is to make Chu Ning stay in Daning County for nine hours. As long as he can hold out for these nine hours, Huang Zhongtai will not dare to continue his attack."

When Chu Ning heard this, his eyes lit up, and he knew what his master's wife meant.

Huang Zhongtai's goal was to kill himself before the people from Wushuang Sect arrived. He absolutely did not want to fall into the hands of people from Wushuang Sect.

So once you realize that you cannot be killed before the people from Wushuangmen arrive, the best way is to let yourself go and escape, which is better than falling into the hands of Wushuangmen.

"During these nine hours, you and your disciples must be on guard against Huang Zhongtai's men. If you cannot wait for Chu Ning to leave the city, these people will definitely rush into the city at the last moment."

When she said this, Chen Jingyi looked serious: "We must attract Huang Zhongtai's men into the city. The more the better. The more Huang Zhongtai's men enter the city, the less resistance Chu Ning will encounter after leaving the city!"

"How many people you can attract depends on the strength of you two, master and disciple."

…

…

There is a forest outside Daning County. At this moment, there are dozens of figures here. If Chu Ning were here, he would find that there is one person among these people he is familiar with.

Huang Zhongtai's housekeeper.

Chu Ning and Liu Junshan are together? There is no other movement from the direction of the city.

The butler narrowed his eyes. This time, the master asked him to be responsible for handling the aftermath of the young master. He had already handled the previous matters, and now only the last step was left.

Kill Chu Ning to silence him.

It was originally thought that Chu Ning would hide or escape from Daning County, but the spies in the city reported that Chu Ning was still in the county, but Liu Junshan was also there.

"Arrange two generals to lead the people in."

The butler gave the order. Liu Junshan was already a military general, and Chu Ning was able to kill Ruan Jinqiang, so his strength was probably close to that of a military general.

"Young Master wants to conceal Chu Ning's strength, but unfortunately the Master has already made a judgment."

As early as a few hours ago, the butler met Huang Xuan, and Huang Xuan told him that Ruan Jinqiang was not killed by Chu Ning, but by a mysterious master, who also rescued Chu Ning.

The butler understood why the young master did this. He wanted him to underestimate Chu Ning's strength so that Chu Ning would have a chance to escape.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But after receiving Ruan Jinqiang's letter, the master deduced from Huang Shan's plan including the subsequent changes that Chu Ning's strength was superior to Ruan Jinqiang. When he arrived and found Ruan Jinqiang dead, it further proved the master's judgment.

"Young Master and Chu Ning really have a deep relationship. It's a pity that God plays tricks on people. I'm afraid the master must be extremely depressed."

The housekeeper sighed. Chu Ning was originally the backup plan left by the master for the young master, but now everything is ruined because of Huang Shan.

At this moment, the master wished that Huang Zhongxing and his children would be crushed to ashes.

…

…

County town, Liu Mansion.

This is the mansion where Liu Junshan lived after he became the chief.

At this moment, a dozen figures quickly climbed over the courtyard wall. However, the moment these figures climbed over the wall, several sounds of breaking wind were heard.

Swish, swish, swish! Several arrows shot towards him like lightning.

Bang, bang, bang! Six figures were hit by arrows and fell inside and outside the courtyard wall. In the end, only five people escaped the hidden arrows.

In the yard, Liu Junshan stood there holding two axes, and on the steps behind Liu Junshan, Chu Ning put an arrow on the bow and aimed it at the five people.

"I'll hold Liu Junshan back, Brother Li, you go deal with Chu Ning."

The two generals looked at each other, one of them held a long mace and rushed towards Liu Junshan, while the other one took the remaining three people and rushed straight towards Chu Ning.

Boom! Liu Junshan swung the long axe in his hand, and this axe directly chopped his opponent back three steps. Then he chopped at another general with another axe.

The double axes exerted terrifying power in Liu Junshan's hands at this moment.

The two generals were instantly enveloped under the pressure of the double axes and could not escape at all. Even when they joined forces they could only barely hold on.

"Is the teacher so fierce?"

Although they are both military commanders, the teacher is fighting one against two, like a demon descending to the earth.

Chu Ning blinked his eyes, but his hands did not stop moving, and he drew the bow and arrow again.

Whoosh! One arrow hits one.

None of the three martial artists who wanted to rush over could dodge his arrow.

With his current archery skills and strength, no warrior below the level of a general can avoid the arrow unless he is a warrior who takes the swift path.

After dealing with the three martial artists, Chu Ning drew his arrow and directed the arrow towards the two generals.

He didn't shoot, he just aimed, now at this person, now at that person.

A certain big shot once said that Xiao Li Feidao's flying knife is always the most invincible at the moment before it is shot.

The two generals also caught a glimpse of Chu Ning aiming his arrows at them. Their faces changed. They had also seen the three arrows Chu Ning had just shot, and their power was definitely at the level of a quasi-general.

If it were any other time, they were confident that they could dodge it, and even if they couldn't dodge it, they would have ways to block it. But now, facing Liu Junshan's axe after axe attack, the two of them were barely able to fend off, and if Chu Ning's hidden arrows were added, they would probably be left here.

The two looked at each other, and the next moment they burst out with all their strength almost at the same time.

A strong military general can release his hidden energy.

There were wisps of white mist rising around the two people. If you look closely, you will find that it is not white mist, but wisps of dark energy emanating from their bodies.

The hidden power becomes threads, which is the initial form of the hidden power's external release.

But even if it is just a silk thread, its power is enormous and can easily penetrate the iron plate.

The general holding the long mace, that trace of hidden power fell on the long mace. At this moment, the long mace was shining with a layer of white halo, directly tearing through the air, and chopped towards Liu Junshan as fast as lightning.

Another general swung his long sword, and the hidden power condensed on the blade, making the air emit a breathtaking sound of the sword.

Chu Ning's arrow was also shot at this moment.
