Chapter 65: The last patch of identity is applied

Daning County.

Chu Ning rode his horse towards Jijia Town.

Officials in this world are all warriors, which also makes sedan chairs a rare means of transportation.

Warriors prefer riding horses rather than riding in sedan chairs.

However, before arriving at Jijia Town, Chu Ning tied the horse to the side of the road.

The chestnut horse is equipped with a silver saddle, which is the standard equipment for officials. No one dares to steal this horse.

Of course, he didn't come to Jijia Town to return home in glory. Ji Yang's clansmen would be able to recognize him as soon as they saw him.

His original plan was just to borrow Ji Yang's identity to learn the Blood Burning Technique in the Blood Fire Camp and then retreat without having to deal with the Ji family.

But now the plan has changed. He has to go to the capital, so he has to patch the last loophole in his identity.

Chu Ning changed out of his captain's uniform, wore casual clothes and entered Jijia Town, heading straight to the home of his great uncle Ji Yang.

Without knocking on the door, Chu Ning chose to climb over the wall and enter.

Following the noise, he found Ji Yuanshan in the backyard, and after making sure that there were no other outsiders in the backyard, he walked in.

"Uncle Ji!"

Ji Yuanshan was standing by the pond in the backyard, seemingly thinking about something. He turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw Chu Ning, there was a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Who are you? It's a bit beyond the rules to come into my house uninvited."

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Uncle doesn't even recognize his nephew, so does he still need to knock on the door when he returns to his own home?"

According to the time, Ji Yuanshan should have received the letter he wrote long ago.

"Uncle?"

"Uncle, didn't you receive the letter your nephew wrote in the military camp a few days ago?"

Ji Yuanshan's eyes were deep: "My nephew doesn't look like you, and my nephew's handwriting is not like that either."

When he first received the letter from the military post, he was excited for a long time. It was good news that his nephew was not dead.

But after opening the letter and seeing the first line of words, he realized something was wrong. His nephew's handwriting was not like that.

So, someone was impersonating his nephew? He had been thinking about this question for the past few days. Why would the other party impersonate his nephew?

My nephew is just an ordinary warrior soldier in the military camp. What is the benefit of pretending to be my nephew? The most important thing is how did he pass the military camp's review? At the very least, this person must know his nephew's affairs very well, not only about his nephew's hometown, but also about his nephew's affairs in the military camp.

"Chu Ning, I didn't expect that your appearance has changed so much now."

Ji Yuanshan suddenly spoke, and Chu Ning laughed again. Ji Yang's uncle was really a smart man. He figured out his identity so quickly.

"How did uncle guess it?"

Hearing Chu Ning still calling him "Uncle", Ji Yuanshan began to understand what his nephew had said.

"The thing I admire most about Chu Ning is that he can sacrifice his reputation for his own goals. In order to make money, he was willing to put aside his pride and fetch water and clean the school."

"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who would want to pretend to be my nephew, and who can pretend to be my nephew."

Ji Yuanshan thought about it and it seemed that only Chu Ning would do this.

Chu Ning knew about his nephew's past in Daning County. His nephew often wrote to Chu Ning to inform him of what happened in the military camp. And the most important point was that Chu Ning was being hunted.

Originally, he didn't know about the existence of Wushuang Sect, but Wushuang Sect was wanted for Chu Ning, and almost everyone in Daning County knew about it. After his inquiries, he also got to know something about Wushuang Sect.

It would be difficult for Chu Ning to avoid being hunted down by such a huge monster, but hiding in the military camp was a good idea.

"At first I thought you were just hiding in the military camp pretending to be my nephew, but I didn't expect that even your appearance had changed. No wonder you dared to come back. I'm afraid that if you stand in front of those people from Wushuang Sect now, they won't recognize you."

Even he himself couldn't recognize Chu Ning, let alone those disciples of Wushuang Sect who had never seen Chu Ning's appearance and could only rely on his portrait.

"Yeah, not as handsome as before."

Chu Ning's sigh made Ji Yuanshan speechless. As long as he could survive, who cared whether he was handsome or not?

"You came to me this time because you wanted me to keep your identity secret so that you can continue to stay in the military camp, right?"

"Uncle is really smart."

"I can let you continue to use the identity of my nephew, but in exchange you have to promise me two things."

"Uncle, please speak."

Chu Ning nodded, this is what he should do.

"First, the Ji family still doesn't have a martial arts master. I hope you can help train a martial arts master. Of course, I will select talented disciples."

A town named after the Ji family is enough to show that the Ji family is a big family. However, if there is no martial artist in such a big family, not to mention whether there will be instability among the clan members, there will be many external forces that will slowly erode the interests of the Ji family.

Ji Yuanshan originally had high hopes for Ji Yang, but unfortunately Ji Yang died.

He is still alive now, and some internal conflicts among the Ji family can be suppressed with his reputation and strength, and the family members all listen to him.

Once he leaves, the Ji family will have no one to succeed it and the family will slowly fall apart.

"no problem."

Chu Ning agreed without much thought. Training a martial artist was no big deal for him at the moment.

Isn't it just silver and elixirs? Wushuangmen sent a lot of fat, which is enough.

"What about the second condition?"

"Forget it, the second condition is unnecessary."

Ji Yuanshan suddenly changed his mind. Originally, his second condition was to ask Chu Ning for money, but now he decided not to.

The reason for asking Chu Ning for money was to use it to train the children in the family who had talent in martial arts. Practicing martial arts was indeed too expensive.

But when Chu Ning agreed so easily, without even thinking about it, he decided not to mention this condition.

Chu Ning agreed so quickly, not just to temporarily appease himself, which means that in Chu Ning's eyes, a martial artist is nothing.

Even an eighth-grade or even seventh-grade martial artist would not think it is easy to train a martial artist. Only a strong general would not care about these things.

He was not sure whether Chu Ning had reached the level of a military general. If he had, Chu Ning had only practiced martial arts for a few years. This only proved that Chu Ning was an outstanding martial arts genius.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The future growth will be extremely terrifying.

If Chu Ning had not yet reached the level of a military general, there would only be one possibility for him to agree so easily: the resources for training a martial artist were nothing to him.

No matter what the reason is, it proves one thing: Chu Ning has left the county's power level and entered a higher level.

Don't mention the second condition, just keep this kindness, maybe it will be of great use someday in the future.

With this condition, the relationship with Chu Ning would be purely a transaction.

"Then uncle will select a young man with good qualifications and bring him here. I will stay at home for the next few days."

…

…

Liu Mansion.

"Little sister, brother is here to see you."

Chen Jingwu didn't even knock on the door. He slapped it open and strode in.

The door creaked and shook. Liu Junshan's eyes almost spit fire when he saw this. This guy did it on purpose. He did this every time he came. If he came three times, he would have to change the door.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Chen Jingyi looked at her brother. Ever since he was forced by the clan elders to take up office in the provincial capital, he has only come to Daning County once every two weeks. The last time he came was five days ago.

"Why, you don't welcome me?"

"Yes!" Liu Junshan replied.

Chen Jingwu glared at Liu Junshan. Chen Jingyi looked at the two men glaring at each other, feeling somewhat helpless. It seemed as if her brother and husband were born to be incompatible and had never liked each other.

"Brother, you must have something to do this time."

Chen Jingyi chose to divert the attention of the two men.

"It's not a big deal. I just met a young man today in the state capital. He was in the Daning County School a few years ago, and now he's a lieutenant in the army."

"I was in Daning County School a few years ago. Wasn't Junshan in Daning County School at that time? What was that person's name?"

"Ji Yang."

"Junshan, do you know this student?"

Liu Junshan shook his head directly: "Ji Yang is indeed one of the many students I have taught, and he is in the same class as Chu Ning. However, with Ji Yang's talent, there is no way he can break through to the level of a military commander in such a short time, even if he is the son of the leader of the four major sects."

"Really? But I think this person is not yet a military general, but he is already a seventh-grade martial artist. I'm afraid he is not far from becoming a military general. You are not mistaken, are you?"

"I won't be wrong. Ji Yang spent three years in the academy, and he was still a long way from becoming a martial artist, so he chose to join the army, hoping to use his military exploits to exchange for elixirs to enter the martial artist realm as soon as possible. In addition, I heard from Chu Ning that Ji Yang had died in battle on the border."

Seeing Liu Junshan's affirmative expression, Chen Jingwu was a little confused. What about Ji Yang? "Brother, what do you feel about Ji Yang?" Chen Jingyi suddenly asked.

Chen Jingwu thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell me, I think Ji Yang looks familiar, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but he said that I've never met him before."

"Junshan, I'm going to say something next, but you have to stay calm."

Liu Junshan looked at his wife, somewhat puzzled. What could have caused him to lose his composure? "Then Ji Yang is most likely Chu Ning."

Chen Jingyi's words stunned the two men present at the same time. The next moment, Chen Jingwu slapped his thigh and said, "Since you reminded me, little sister, now that I think about it, although the outline is different, the facial features are really similar to Chu Ning."

"The Wushuang Sect is very powerful. It is indeed a good idea for Chu Ning to hide in the military camp. Besides, Chu Ning should be very familiar with Ji Yang's affairs." Chen Jingyi explained the reason for her judgment.

"It's Chu Ning who has not escaped. This guy actually told me that he didn't know him. He even fooled me." Chen Jingwu said dissatisfiedly.

"That must be because there are other people around you, big brother. Also, Junshan, I told you to calm down because the people from Wushuangmen may have been monitoring you. If you go to find Ji Yang now, if it's not okay, but if it's Chu Ning, it's very likely that he will be exposed."

Seeing her husband's excitement, Chen Jingyi advised: "If we want to see Chu Ning, we need to think of a way that won't be exposed."
